tltis rate the havoc among the war ships was terrible. In the Royal Arthur's practice eight shells, with a bursting charge were fired from the twenty-two gun, at 1,800 yards, at a target in the water ten feet higli and twelve feet square, and every shot burst within a radius of fifty feet of the target. The destructiveness of such firing in the case of a war ship some two huu dred feet long may be imagined Of course such mai kmanship might not he possible in the excitement of an actual fight. On another practice trip recently one gunner, with a 0 inch quick-firing gun, put eleven out of twelve sho's through a canvass target ten feet square at 1,800 yards. f

Mohk than one possible candidate for the nomination of piesident in 1890 has been mentioned as favoring another issue of bonds, or giv ing authority to the secretary of the treasury to issue bonds at his pleasure. This is idle talk. No sane man would ever allow his name to be submitted to the St. Louts republican convention who ban voted to increase the national debt, forthe purpose of paying current, expenses, before lie had used every honest endeavor to provide suflicient revenue by taritf changes that would afford protection to | American industries.
WILL SERVE NO MOREW. K. McKeen will Retire from Presidency ot the \uiHtalin. Terre Haute Express. The Express is credibly informed that after January loth it will no longer he “Riley McKeen. president of the Vandalia Railroad Co.’’ For more than twenty-five years he lias been president of the toad and is today with one exception, the only person in the United States who has held for so long a period such an exalted position. When Mr,! McKeen sold cut the controlling interest in the Vandalia Railroad system in August, 1893, he did so with the hope that he might lay down the burdens he had so faithfully borne for a quarter of a cen tury. His record was an excep itonal one. In all the labor trou tiles that have arisen since tlic war, and they have been particularly marked among railroads, there was never a strike on ‘‘Riley McKeen’s” road. He had always dealt fairly with his men and from th" highest to the humblest there was not one who did not feel that ho could make oersonal appeal to President Me Keen. While Mr. McKeen felt impelled to give over the office lie had tilled with such exceptional ability, it is known that, largely out of consideration for the employes of the road, lie reluctantly consented to serve longer as president. The Pennsylvania Railroad Co. is the most gigantic corporation in the world. It knew that no one stood closer to the people than “Riley McKeen'’ and its officials weie therefore insistant that he should remain at the head of the corpoiation. To this urgent request Mr. McKeen finally yielded his own personal desires and con seuted to remain at the head of the corporation for a year or two. That time has more than passed by. Mr. McKeen sold the controlling interest in the road in August, 1893, and now having more than fulfilled his promise to the Pennsylvania Co, he has determined to retire from its presidency.

W. Q. Bktnner Is one of the best known men in Wakefield, Mass. He is a war veteran and everybody’s friend. Ho says: “I bad rheumatism and was In poor health a long time. Indications pointed towards tbe accumulation of impurities in the blood and germs of disease I was constipated and had no appetite. I evidently needed a good blood purifier and dicided to take ftood’a Harsaparilla. It made • change all through my system, gave me an appetite and worked effectively on my blood. I am now perfectly well, my blood has been put in good order, thanks to Hood’s.” W.O.Skiknkr. Hood’s Sarsaparilla Is the Only True Blood Purifier Prominently In the Pubtie Eye Today.
Death off I»r. Locke, Dr. John W. Locke, fattier of Mrs. Betlie Locke Hamilton, of this city, died Sunday afternoon at 5:40 o’clock tit Kansas City, Kansas, where he was spending the winter with his son Rev. Edwin Locke. Deceased was seventy-th tee years of age and was well known to out* older citizens. He occupied the chair of mathematics in Asbury, DePauw university, for about eighteen years, leaving here in 1872. Mrs. Hamilton left at noon today for East St. Louis, 111., where she will meet the remains, which will be taken to P’airfield, 111., where they will he interred by the side of Mrs. Hamilton’s mother. The message announcing the douth arrived lest night.
More Plate tilann Kuined. Early Sunday morning some miscreant threw a brick through F. G. Gilmore's window in the Ader block. The glass was one ol the largest in the city and was in the west window. The brick struck it a hard blow right at the lower edge of the pane anti went clear through into the store where it was viewed on Sunday by large numbers of people. The window was filled with fancy goods and cheap jewelry. This might have attracted a wandering tramp, who imagined he saw a stack of diamonds, or the breaking might have been the result of sheer devilment- or maliciousness on the part ot some hoodlum. The loss will fall of Mr. Ader. Night Policeman Ashley says the glass was broken after five o’clock Sunday meriting as he left the square at that time, after having awakened some boys at the livery barns. He states the hoys heard the crash after five o'clock. There is a peculiar fatality about the plate windows in this block. One was shot out several months ago and in repairing it a glass was tiroken all to pieces, requiring a second glass. Now a brick is sent through one. The brick was of about hull' size of hard clay. The damage is about fifty or sixty dollars.
