A Qnestloa of Discipline.

A German was boasting in the presence of some Russians about the obedience and discipline of the German army, citing numerous instances from the war between France and Germany. "Gentlemen,1' replied one of the Russians, "what you say about the discipline in the German army amounts to nothing at all when compai-ed with what occurs continually in the Russian army. But I will merely recite one instance of what occurred at the beginning of the reign of the Czar Nicholas. when the discipline in the Russian array was comparatively lax. At that time, before the telegraph was discovered, the Russians used signal stations, which were a few miles apart. The soldier mado the signal which was repeated by the soldier at the next station, and thus the news was conveyed thousands of miles. "One day a soldier at a station near SU Petersburg did not see the signal in time, and, dreading the punishment that awaited him for negligence, deliberately hanged himself on the signal tower. The, soldier at the next station mistook this for a signal, so he deliberately but promptly hanged himself, also. Jn consequence of the discipline which prevails' in the Russian army, next day it was discovered that all the soldiers at the signal stations from St. Petersburg to Warsaw had handed themselves 011 their signal towers. Of course, a much stricter discipline prevails at present, and "That will do," replied the Gorman, "I give it up."—Texas Sittings.

Women,

And Consider the All-Important Fact,

That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are confiding your private ills to a woman—a woman experience in- treating woman's diseases is greater than that of any liviiff physician—male or female.

Yon can talk freely to a woman when it. is revolting to relate your private troubles to a man—besides, a man does not understand—simply because he is a man.

Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to worse, knowing full well that they ought to have immediate assistance, but a natural modesty impels them to shrink from exposing themselves to the questions and probably examinations of even their family physician. It is unnecessary. Without money or price you can consult a woman, whose knowledge from actual experience is greater than any local physician in the world. The following invitation is freely offered

accept it in the same spirit: .,

MRS. PINKEAM'S STANDING INVITATION.

Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women only. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been "broken.

Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge that will help your case, a She asks nothing in return except your good-will, and her advice has relieved thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance.—Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass.

The llorse in Italtle.

All officer of experience, says the Courier-Journal, writing on the behavior of horses in battle, says: "When it comes to battle, a horse seems to know everything that is going on but he does his duty nobly and seems to be in his element. He enters into the spirit of the battle like a human being. He shows no fear of death, and it is singular that if his mate is shot down he will turn to look at him and seem pleased. "A horse in my battery was once struck by a piece of shell, which split his skull so that one side was loose. The driver turned him loose, but he walked up by the side of the gun and watched the firing, and when a shot was fired would look away in the direction of the enemy, as if to see the effect of the shot. When a shell would burst near by, he would calmly turn and look at it When he saw his own team goiog

buck for ammunition, ho

ran b:ick to his own place and galloped back to the caisson with the rest. When the lieutenant pushed him aside, to put in another horse, he looked at the other one sorrowfully while he was being harnessed up, ana when he seemed to realize' that there was no further use for him he lay down and died. The lieutenant strongly asserted that he died of a broken heart."

GEORGE IN DINGER.

VOLATILE GrRFlCIANS THREATEN THE ROYAL PAIi ACE BECAUSE OP ARMY'S REVERSES.

The King Give* His Ministers Carte lilauche to Appease the AngryPopulace.

London cable: The most serloua feature in the Graeco-Turklsh emergency is the revolutionary feeling- displayed at Athens. Ex-Mlnlster Ralli, leader of the principal opposition group in the legislative assembly, threatened that unless the military staff was changed he would issue a proclamation to the people. His statements acted like oil upon fire and tlie poular cxcitement has flared up. Crowds assembled In the streets to discuss them and wanted to march to the palace to read them to King George. Fortunately heavy showers drove the people indoors.

Mr. Delyannis, keenly alive to the necessity of immediate action, had an audience with the king, and after the interview, announced that the staff of the crown prince would be recalled and that ex-Minister Ralli, with three of his nominees—Gen. Smolensk!, Gen. Mavromahali and Col. Dimpooula—would be appointed to replace them.

M. Ralli, in published interview, says: "The moment Constantlne arrived at the seat o£ war the sole thought of the responsible commanders, was not to attack or to withstand the Turks, but to effect a safe retreat if necessary. All orders emanated from the palace. Those issued by any one else were ignored. When dispatches were sent to Gen. Mavromihali he was not where he was supposed to be. having been moved by superior orders."

The Dally Telegram's Athens correspondent will say tomorrow: "All of M. Ralli's conditions have been accepted. The king gives carte blanche to his ministers. As the public begins to learn the truth, anger against the pt.lace party increases and a feeling of hostility against M. Delyannis is steadily growing. Late tonight (Monday) crowds are parading menacingly in the vicinity of the palace. It is reported on good authority that arrangements are being made to enable the royal family to leave the country hastily In case of necessity."

INJUNCTION GRANTED.

Three-Cent Street Car Fares At Indlana- ... polls "linooked Out."

Following Governor Mount's proclamation declaring the laws passed by the last Legislature In force,, the Central Trust Company applied to Judge Showalter of the United States District Court for an injunction to prevent the enforcement of the Hugg 3-ctent street car fare law. The Judge heard the arguments last week at Indianapolis and returned to Chicago. Friday his opinion in the case was received by the clerk of the Court at Indianapolis. It grants the injunction asked for and declares the 3-cent fare law unconstitutional, mainly upon the ground that it is purely local to Indianajolis and Is so worded that no other city in this •State could ever come under its provisions. .By the rule of law thus laid down with regard to the Constitution of Indiana a very large percentage of the general legislation of the State and particularly of that applying to the city of Indianapolis would fall to the ground. The restraining order is temporary and subject to review by the court. The representatives of the city will demand a further hearing upon it and the attorney general will leave nothing undone in his effort to bring the question before the Supreme Court of the State, which he believes should have the final adjudication of it.

GREEK RETREAT WAS A ROUT.

The Turks Captured Artillery and Various Munitions of War.

The correspondent of the Associated Press has just received from a colleague who Is with the Turkish army near Tyrnavo the substance of an interview which the latter had with Edhem Pasha in c^ifirmation of the report of the panicky retreat of the Greeks. Edhem Pasha laughingly said: "I am really grateful to the Greek commander for giving me these agreeable quarters. The Greek retreat was a general rout. They left everything behind, including immense quantities of artillery and munitions of war, which we will be able to make use of. If they had not heard the Albanians singing on their night march we would have been upon them in an hour."

Ruling Tliat Bars Many Chinese, The attorney general has rendered an opinion to the Secretary of the Treasury In which he holds that under the joint resolution of Congress suspending the operation of certain parts of the immigration laws so as to admit foreigners to be employed in various capacities in connection with the Nashville, Tenn., exposition. the Secretary has a right to limit the number so to be admitted. The question was raised as to the admission of several hundred Chinese who had arrived on the border and had applied for entrance. The director general of the exposition, in answer to inquiries from the department, stated that 200 Chinese should be admitted under concessions granted and that number would be allowed to proceed, but no more. This will necessitate the return to China of over a hundred now at Port Townsend, and probably many more soon to arrive.

"NO MEAN CITY."

EX-PRESIDENT HARRISON ENTERTAINED BY THE INDIANAPOLIS COMMERCIAL CLUB.

Eloquently Responds to the Toast, "No Mean City"—A Notable Gathering.

General Harrison was the guest of honor at a dinner given by the Indianapolij Commercial Club, Thursday evening. There were a large number of guests, the most notable besides General Harrison being Hon. S. P. Sheerln, Judge Woods, James Whitcomb Riley and Mayor Taggart. W. E. Fortune, President of the Club, Introduced General Harrison, who responded to the toast, "No Mean. City", in part as follows: "The Apostle Paul, when he used these words, was in the hands of a Roman guard that had come on the run. to deliver him from a Jewish mob. The captain of the guard believed him to be the leader of a band of murderers, but he did not think that he should be lynched. Paul appealed for identification and for consideration to the fact that he was a native of Tarsus in Celicia—a citizen, of "no mean city." To be ashamed of: the city you live in is a lesser sorrow than to have a city ashamed of you (laughter), but still a heavy sorrow. There is great comfort when a column of residences is to be filled and a Boston hotel clerk is watching the evolution of the name in not being put to any disguise of ambiguous abbreviations. Is there a greater triumph In life than to lift your eyes from the register to arbiter of destinies on the other side of the counter and to see that his fear that you might blow out the gas has been allayed? (Laughter.)

That Indianapolis Is not an Indian reservation, with a classical termination, Is now generally known, Mr. Swift, in the Eastern States (laughter), and also by some of our English kin. It seems that our English cousins only acquire geography by conquest, and only recognize political subdivisions that they make themselves. The geography of lands to which they have lost title seems to go hard with them, as witness the recent inquiry of a high English prelate, whether New England was a part of Massachusetts. (Laughter.) Paul used no superlatives in his reference to Tarsus—he reserved them for the city that hath foundations. He assumed that there was force in the name Itself that the help of granulated adjectives was not needed. He even used the negative form, the emphasis of understatement—'no mean city.' He left something to the captain's knowledge and Imagination. He was proud of Tarsus that Is clear, and he was not a man to be satisfied with negations. The city had done something distinctively great, and I set out the other day, with the help of the cyclopedia, to see If I could-find out what It was. "Tarsus was besides a free city and the seat of an important commerce. These were, so far as I know, the special distinctions of Tarsus. No doiibt there were others that history has not preserved. But the ideal city must have had excellences. It must be a city where people diligently mind their own business, and the public business, and do both with a decent regard to the judgment and rights of other men a city where there is no boss rule in anything where all men are not brought to the measure of one man's mind where the citizens are brave and generous, and who care for their own a city having the community spirit, but not the communistic spirit a city whose people live in homes where there Is room for a morning glory or a sweet pea where fresh air Is not delivered in pint cups where the children can every day feel the spring of nature's green carpet where people are not so numerous as to suggest that decimation might promote the general welfare where brains and manners, and not bank balances, give ratings to men where there is neither flaunting wealth nor envious poverty where life is comfortable and toil honorable where municipal reformers are not hysterical, but have the habit of keeping cool where the broad judgment of a capital, and not the narrowness of the province, prevails where the commerce In goods Is great, but riot greater than the exchanges of thought and of neighborly kindness. We have not realized all these things. We count not ourselves to have attained, but we follow after.

This is a Commercial Club but, after you nave exhibited sites and statistics to the man seeking a business location, he will want to know about the homes, the schools, the churches, the social and literary clubs whether it is a place where domestic life Is convenient and enjoyable where the social life is broad and hospitable where vice Is in restraint where mora! and physical sanitation have due provision where charity Is broad and wise—a city to which men will grow attached, to which they will come back. "Gentlemen, you may add these things to the trade statistics of Indianapolis. A city offering the most alluring inducements to commerce .and production It is pre-eminently a city of homes." (Applause..)

How Our Beef I» Libeled.

The canard concerning alleged shipments from Chicago to Europe of horse meat disguised as suited beef is still circulating harmfully in Europe. United States Consul Boycsen, at Gothenberg, has just furnished the State Department with a copy of a circular Issued by the Swedish government officially calling attention to the report and requiring a medical inspection of Imported meats. He adds that he informed the custom house officials that meat imported from the United States under the stamp of the Department of Agriculture was sound and free from disease.

PRESENT PROBLEMS.

EX-PRESIDENT CLEVELAND RESPONDS TO A TOAST IN A CHARACTERISTIC

MANNER.

Vigorously Assails Free Silver nnd Denounces Mad Protection Policy of Party la Power.

Tue second annual dinner of the New YorK Reform Club occurred at the Hotel Waldorf Saturday night. The assembly was notable for the distinguished men In attendance. John DeXVltt Warner presided. At his right sat ex-President Cleveland and on his left was ex-Post-master-General William L. Wilson. Mr. Cleveland was the central figure in the dining hall and his speech in response to the toast, "Present Problems," the chief feature of the occasion. The address in part was as follows: "We are gathered here tonight as patriotic citizens, anxious to do something toward reinstating the prosperity of our fellow-countrymen and protecting the fair fame of our Nation against shame and scandal. On every side we are confronted with popular depression and complaint. These are largely due to causes of natural and certain recurrence, as the inevitable accompaniment of all human endeavor, and perhaps they are as largely due to the work of agitators and demagogues, who have busily sowed the seeds of discontent in order that in the harvest they may reap personal advantage. Distressing ills, real and Imaginary, have been so constantly and luridly presented to the minds of honest men that they are tempted to accept without taking council of reason or judgment any nostrum cunningly offered as a remedy for their low condition. But even so promising a field as this has not satisfied the designs of seeds of discontent they have also cxiltlruthless agitators. While scattering the vated a growth'of sectional and class suspicion and distrust, which threatens to choke or destroy that fraternal feeling which leads to considerate counsel in tho day of common misfortune, and which Is absolutely essential to the success of our plan of government. "The fundamental truth that our free institutions offer for the advancement and improvement of their condition has been so far denied and the necessity and habit of Individual effort and struggle, which are the mainsprings of sturdy Americans, are described as unjustifiablo burdens, while unwholesome paternalism is presented in handsome and inviting garb. "In the meantime there has laid in wait behind them all an impatient power ready to marshal them In effective activity when depression, misfortune, neglect and passion had done their work. This power, born of sordid greed and maintained by selfish interest and partisan ambition, has at last assumed command and has largely recruited Its waiting forces by Inflaming those Inclined to be patient with tales of an ancient crime against their rights to be avenged, by encouraging the restless and turbulent with hints of greater license, and by offering to the poor as a smooth road to wealth, and to those in debt as a plan for easy payment, and to those who from any cause are unfortunate and discouraged as a remedy for all their ills the free and unlimited and independent coinage of silver at the rate of 1G to 1, with a depreciated currency and cheap money. "It was a rude awakening for the negligent and overconfident and a day of terror for sober and patriotic men when tho bold promoters of this reckless creed captured the organization of a powerful political party, and. seizing Its banners, shouted defiance to the astonished conscience and co^jsrvatism of the country. Hosts of honest men, in blind loyalty, gathered behind the party flag they had been accustomed to follow, falling to discover that their party legends had been effaced. None can forget the doubt and fear of that boisterous and passionate campaign, when the fate of the Nation seemed in the balance. "Though the first engagement resulted in the defeat of the combined forces of dangerous and unwholesome policies, a survey of the field is by no means reassuring. The party placed in power as the result of splendid Democratic patriotism has failed to meet the obligations of the people's trust. Its distinct campaign declaration that it was unreservedly in favor of sound money, the character and controlling effectiveness of the support it gained on the faith of that declaration, the universal concession that the conflict on .iii 'ncial theories constituted the issue which was passed on by the suffrages of the people, and the country's pressing exigencies and needs, all demanded prompt and efficient action by the party intrusted with power, in an effort to place our Nation's finances, adjusted to every popular need, upon a safe and sure basis, approved by the business judgment of the land, and secure from successful attack because defended bv a maiorltv of the thoughtfully honest men of all parties.

Instead, however, of addressing themselves to this task, the managers and representatives of this victorious party, these professed champions of sound finance, have before the eyes of an expectant people, returned in hot haste to their wallowing in the mire of extreme protection, offending millions of voters by their exhibition of a party's bad faith and disgusting millions more by their unconcealed determination to repay partisan Support from the proceeds of increased burdens of taxation placed on those already overladen. "In the meantime the allied forces of calamity, encouraged by these conditions, are still active and aggressive. They confidently speak of the encounter in which they failed of success as only "the first battle," and gladly hall every untoward incident and every added pretext for passion and resentment as new and welcome allies In the continuance of their crusade. They are unwillingly wicked and stupid who believe that disaster waits on the ascendancy of those forces and yet turn away from the plain evidence of their dangerous strength. Let us be honest with each other and with ourselves. "I began by saying that this was an assemblage for patriotic purposes. I hope my sympaUg' with Its high aims and disinterested ®forts will not be suspected when I confess that I have brought here a sturdy partisanship and a devoted interest to the principles of true Democracy. I should, however, not be here to make this declaration If by partisanship

I meant adherence to a party organlza* tion merely for the purpose of compassing government control and the distrlbution of the spoils of party victory among greedy claimants. The partisanship I mention means the support of certain principles and theories of government and co-operation and association in political effort and activity with others who believe in the same theories and principle* for the purpose of accomplishing their practical application and enforcement. Out of such an association grows party discipline and organization. They arenecessary and useful as the servants of political principle and should never be its unquestioned masters. The limits of their proper operation are easily fixed, and it is an impeachment of the intelligence of the members of any political association to say that party management and disciInline should at all times command implicit obedience, even when such obedience leads to the abandonment or radical perversion of purty principles. "I have ventured to speak of the political creed and organization of my attachment as true Democracy. This definition, tells the story of a party of noble origin and traditions, identified with the counsels of the Nation from Its earliest day and whose glorious achievements are written on every page of our country's history. Always the people's friend, seeking to lighten the burdens and protect their rights, true Democracy has always taught conservatism, American fraternity and obedience to the law. The people to whom it acknowledges a duty are no more confined ttf any station in life than to any section of the country. It enjoins the utmost personal liberty consistent with peace and order. It defends the humble toiler aglnst -oppressive exactions in Ills home and Invites him to the utmost enjoyment of the fruits of Industry, economy and thrift and in Ills interest, and in the interest of all where all are equal, true Democracy denies that in the American scheme of equality before the law there Is a limit beyond which the legitimate results and accumulations of effort and enterprise should be denounced as intrinsically criminal and their oppressors be treated as proper subjects of governmental discrimination and condemnation. The people whom true Democracy would serve are all the peopla of the land. "Those who believe that a crisis Is at hand can hardly fall to see that the party In power is so joined to Its Idol of mad protection and is so completely doomed to popular condemnation that it is a useless Instrument of defense against the impending peril. "I do not fear that I shall be accused of sinister designs unfitted to the atmosphere of this occasion If I Insist that tha path of duty and the best hope of safety He In an imemdlate and earnest attempt to accomplish the rehabilitation and regeneration of true Democracy. In a large part of the country where financial error Is most general the Democratic name can best arottse the political sentiment of the people, and there, as everywhere In our lp.nd, the people can'be trusted to arrive at a correct conclusion if they have adequate opportunity for examination and information. Let us devise means to break through the influence of the mischievous leadership that surrounds them without arrogantly assuming that no rights or hardships afllct them, and that no reforms In their conditions are needed.

Let us meet our countrymen face to faco in argument and counsel. We shall find in every locality able, heroic men, willing to struggle against the tide of misconception. Let us hold up their hands by organized effort and timely asistance. Let true Democrats meet tho passion and bitterness of their former associates who have assumed the leadership of anti-Dem-ocratic wanderings with firm expostulations, reminding them that Democratio convictions and Democratic conscience cannot be forced to follow false lights, however held aloft, and let us at the same time entreat them In the name of honorable political comradeship and in the memory of glorious victories won by a united Democracy to turn from the way that leads to party defeat and destruction. "The task Is not an easy one, but surely it Is not hopeless. The better we appreciate its magnitude the less will be tho danger of ineffective and misguided effort. The work has already been inaugurated by the creation of an organization founded upon tho declaration of Democratic principles so sound, so clestr and so patriotic that they should rally to their support every true Democrat and supply an Inspiration forbidding defeat. With such a beginning, and with an incentive to zealous effort, which the transcendent importance of our cause affords, we should carefully look for the approaching dawn when true Democracy, 'redeemed, regenerated and disenthralled,' will bring us peace and national safety. "But If relief under the restored flag of true Democracy is late in coming we will not despair, but will remember that a just cause has never lost, and on even camping ground we will work and wait, with approving conscience and constant faith, declaring like the sturdy old unrecanting German reformers: 'Here we stand—we cannot do otherwise—God help us.'

,STRUC"Ii DEAD AS HE PRAYED.

"May God Strike Mo Dead If I Am tlie Murderer!" Cried Clscado.

Holllster, Cal., special: "May God strike me dead if I am the murderer of Benardina Asseuro," cried Joseph Ciscado in court here yesterday. As the last word left his lips*he toppled forward, and with a loud shriek fell heavily to the floor. Court officers and spectators stood aghast for some moments. Then several rushed over to the prostrate man and sought to assist lilm. There was no response, for Joseph Ciscado was dead. The man was a Portuguese and had been arrested on the charge of having murdered Asseuro, a Mexican rancher, whose body was found Saturday in his cabin. After killing Asseuro the murdered set afire to the cabin. Circumstances pointed strongly to Ciscado. When arraigned he arose from his chair several times to proclaim his. Innocence. Ciscado had apparently been in good health. ..
