MONDAY. DECEMHER 31. 1894.

Thk removal of the State University f|uestion seems to be as dead as a mackerel. The next move will be to kill the State University.

Hettkr make a list of the pood resolutions you propose to enforce on and after New Years. It will then be easy to check them off as you break them.

Thk deficiency in the United States Treasury up to this time with only six months of the fiscal year goue is about $30,000,000. At this rate it will be 800,000,000 by next .lune. Already 8100.000,000 of bonds have been sold, and it is a pretty well settled fact that another S50.000.000 must be issued in February. The financial imbecility of the present Administration is certainly without bounds.

Thk Boston Transcript has kept a record of football accidents made pub lie during the past season, beginning September IS and ending December j. From its exhibit it appears that more than 50 accidents, more or less severe, have occurred. Three players have died, one was paralyzed and one became insane. The list is impressive enough to call for radical reforms in football methods, and the recent ac tion of the Indiana college Presidents will meet with the approval of the people generally.

Thk Springfield Rcpubliam points out that it is not redemption of greenbacks over and over again that depletes the Government's gold reserve, but a shortage of revenue, and that what is needful to set things right in this respect is either more income or less out go. A slight retrospect will show that this is true. The 8100,000,COO gold re serve was accumulated in 1?7S. The Treasury doors were thrown open on the first of January, nearly sixteen years ago. Why has not the redemption of greenbacks depleted the reserve before? The Treasury doors have been open all the time. Redemption has been going on all the time. The answer is, that within a recent period the Government was always taking in more money of one kind and another than it was paying out. When the balance turned the other way and the Government began to payout more than it took in, the reserves were drawn upon—the reserves of gold as well as of all other things. It was inevitable that a time must come when borrowing would be necessary unless the balance be speedily redressed. The whole trouble has arisen out of the fact that we have a tariff law that does not produce enough revenue.

VOTING MACHINES.

A good deal is being said just now about voting by machinery and especially of what is known as the Myers voting machine. The new constitution of New York empowers the Legisla ture to authorize their use at all elections in that State. The Indianapolis Journal yesterday urges as an objection against its general introduction the great cost of the machine, and mentions S2.000 as the price. The Journtil isjin error. The New York Tribune estimates that it will require TOO machines for that city and that the cost will not exceed S140,000. Accord ing to the Tribune'* figures the cost of the machines is only S200 instead of 8-,000, and we have nowhere seen that the cost is over S2S0. The cost of printing the State ballots in this State at the last election did not fall short of 815,000 and double that sum for print ing the county and township ballots or a total of S4".000. To this is added the expense of election boards, and allowances were made all over the State as they were at Indianapolis the total cost"of the last election will not fall far from 8200,000. Estimating that

It will require on an average of ten machines to the county, some requir. ing more, others less, it will take 'JOO machines which will cost, according to the Tribune's figures, $180,000. Say that the election board is composed of five men as at present, it will require 4,500

men to run the

000

machines. At

82 per day the cost would be 80,000 against 8200,000 as under the present law. It will thus be seen that the will pay for themselves the first year in the saving they will effect. Almost every .man who has examined the Myers patent is satisfied that for rapid easy and absolutely secret voting it is as perfect as human ingenuity can devise that it will prevent fraud of every known kind in voting, canvassing and returning the vote, and so expeditiously does it register and count the votes that within an hour after the polls closc the result of the election in the entire State can be known. •There is no danger of fraud where the Myers machine if) used, for the instant the voter has pushed in the knob registering the vote the apparatus is automatically locked, and so remains until the' voter leaves the polling booth. •The entrance of "the next voter unlocks the machine. Different colors Indicate the cabinets of the several party organizations, so that unless the illiterate voter is color blind, he would toe able to pick out the cabinet of the party whose ticket he wishes to vote, without difficulty.

THE FACE OF ROSENFEL

By CHARLES HOWARD MONTAGUE.

(Copyright, 1S0A. by American Press Association.!

"What an alternative!" crux! Maxey, aghast. '1 am sorry it is not in my power to offer you a better one, but. in the present state of science I cannot. There is a relentless substance, no bigger th:ia tho end of my little finger, remorselessly eating its way into her brain. If it is allowed to go on unchecked, it will do its

fatal work. Tho only way to check it is to remove it. That is a rsire and dangerous experiment, which wo read of indeed in old books, such as Sir Astley Cooper's compilations of 60 years ago, but so rarely resorted to in practico that I did not know until today it was successfully accomplished very recently in England. There is scarcely a precedent to that operat ion. Now you understand tho ease. It remains for you to say whether the patient shall go to the hospital and be operated upon or remain hero and dia "Would the operation, if successful, restore her to her mind and memory?" questioned Maxey eagerly. "It does not follow at all. Tho very matter that has confused and baffled all onr calculations so long is the complexity of the symptoms. Beside the epileptiform symptoms arising from tho tumor, which, by the way, must have leeu well along in its dangerous work before tho accident at the lieach road, there are the psychical results of a curious mental disturbance. Perhaps tho mental trouble was tho conseqnenco of the fright and would have been soon conquered bnt for the work of the tumor. All this is conjecture. Tho possible result remains to bo seen. Shall I go on or not?"

Two hours later Maxey gave his reply: "Go on."

CHAPTER VII

MAXEY MAKES A BEGINNING. Maxey read the letter in tno fading light by the window, wliilo tho messenger who had brought the noto to his rooms waited, cap in hand It was as follows:

Hospitai* Dec. SO, 1SS4.

Tho Kirl has spoken. Her imrno is Dye. lltr father lives in Flood street. Lauah. Short, eni irrawimntin f.n the nnint. "There will be no answer," said Maxey.

He heard the door close behind tho retiring messenger and began to pace tho floor, his hair erect and his necktie askew, while his impatient thought* traveled over the wide range of possibilities which the information in tho doctor's letter seemed to open before him. Surely now ho was on tho vergo of the most important revelations, and yet ho hesitated for the moment how to act in the emergency.

It was a question to him whether it were better at once to intrust this matter to those whose business it was to investigate crime or to attempt that investigation by himself, alono and unaided.

In the first case there would be tho experience and educated acnteness of a craftsman plying his vocation. In tlio second case there would bo the native shrewdness of a novico whose heart was fired with an enthusiasm, and whoso mind was stimulated by an interest, for the intensity of which Maxey himself was sometimes, in tho rare moments when he indulged in self examination, at a loss to account

Whilo tlie artist was still debating with himself this problem Miss Maxey came in. She cried out almost before she opened the door: "Oh, Julian, have yon heard from the hospital?" "I have. Annotto has spoken. She has told her father's name."

Miss Maxey uttered a glad cry and somewhat astonished her brother by impulsively throwing her arms about his neck and kissing him. "I am so glad I could cry," she exclaimed. "Slio will get well, Julian. She will got well in spite of everything! Tell me tho rest at once. Who pushed her from tho road? Why did he do it? Why didn't her father answer the advertisement?" "My dear sister, yon forget that sho must still bo a very sick girL It is a terrible operation to survive. Dr. Lamar told mo something about it Ugh! They havo to go into tho very brain itself."

Miss Maxey shuddered. "Don't, Julian—please don't!" "Forgive me. I forgot your sensitiveness. Let us come to other things. 1 want to know what you think about a certain matter that has been troubling me. Shall I put this now clew in tho hands of the police, or shall I undertake to investigate it by myself?" "By yourself, in tho name of all that leads to success. How many times havo wo been to tho police? And what havo they done for us? Julian, we havo tried them. Wo know what they can do. Now try yourself, and if you fail" "Yes," assented Maxey, "if I fail?" "Why, then we shall seo what I can do."

This was so good a joke that both of them—so ignorant are wo of that which even a few days may bring forth—both of them laughed. "Still I think you aro right, Ellen. Cur private affairs havo been sufficiently discussed in tho public prints already. It is about timo that we again relapsed into obscurity. Tho police includes the press. That is my first objection, and that decides ma I will go on alone—at least till I encounter something that looks too big for mo to cope with. Yes, I'll do that, and I'll begin at once."

So Julian Maxey, tho artist, putting on his outer garments, set forth from his lodgings in tho gathering dusk of a December evening to begin the unraveling of a very tangled skein. "Dye I Dye I I am very positive

I never

heard that name before,'' ho said to himself as he went along. "It is hardly probable that thero is more than ono family of that name in the city."

To assure himself of this fact as well as to save himself tho trouble of undertaking a lengthy task In Flood street, Maxey went into a store and consulted a directory. He was very much disappointed, though not a great deal surprised, when an attentive perusal of tho names beginning with Dy showed him that no such person as Dye was recorded in this registry. Tho possibility of La mar'B having made a mistake occurred to him and led him to devise some curious combinations of letters which ho thought might be susceptible of a similar pro nunciation. But his success was no better than before. Dlgh, Dygh, Dey and

genous" collection of people. "Cheap lodging houses," thought Maxey as liis glance wandered along tho fronts of the dingy brick structures. '•Truly 1 have undertaken a serious task. 1 may as well Inum at tho first house and go through in order. 1 shall never find out anything by random queries.

Maxey did not at all overestimate tho magnitude of his undertaking. If ho had been on an ordinary errand or in an ordinary mood, ho would liavo retired in disgust er" ho was half through. He rang at least two-thirds of tho bells in tho street aod followed each ring with a more or less tedious inquiry into tho personnel of tho inmates of that liouso before he met with nil encouraging response. At the door of No. 40 ho put the usual question to an overgrown urchin, who answered his summons, and received the customary reply: "No such person here, sir." '.'Sure?" "I am sure," said tho boy, "but I will ask pa if you say so."

Pa was a small, wiry man, with a sly face, who came up from tho basement wiping Ins mouth on ins sleeve wnen tho overgrown urchin called to him. Ho looked at Maxey with no small degree of curiosity while tho artist repeated his inquiry. "I am looking for a man named Dye." "Well, sir, you won't find him liere. What did you want with him?"

"Vim won't find him here." In view of tho fact that ho does not live here," returned Maxey sharply, "1 don't see what difference it makes to you."

Nobody of that nanio lives here, true enousrii. but thero aro two rooms let out. in that name on my upper floor. That is why I asked. "Oh, that is why von asked? Vorv well, sir. Let me see tho landlord at once, and pray tell him that my business is pressing."

The sly man surveyed Maxey with increasing curiosity and answered in a confidential tone: "Well, sir, you seo tho landlord. What can 1 do for you?" 'Isn't there a placc wliero I can speak to you privately without fear of being overheard?"\
