The dispatches have it that Judge Parker will make, three public speeches, and they in Indianapolis, Chicago and Milwaukee. ■ The Indianapolis News, an independent republoian paper, still insists that Indiana is a very doubtful state in the present political contest. Hon. B. F. Shively, one of Indiana’s great orators and great democrats, has been invited and accepted an invitation to speak in the state of Maine. The B iltiinore Herald, an independent newspaper that in the last eight years has faithfully supported the republican ticket, is out for Paiker and Davis. Pressing business at national headquarters prevented the attendance of Chairman Taggart, whois fast putting into action the political machinery. The first contribution to the democratic national campaign was made bv a clerygynian who said he hoped a million voters would contribute a similar amount—one dollar. Hanley says the state is safe, but Hanley is a great jollier. We really expected him to admit that he had a slim chance for his politi cil hide. He will likely 'waken during the wee sma' hour Jj.

BIRTH OF THE BUS, . } This Claan of Vehicle Flrat Appeared In Pur Im la IGG2. The omnibus appeared in Paris in 1662 as a “earrosse a cinq sous" (coach for twopence halfpenny), by authority of Louis XIV., under the management of Pascal, the mystic and philosopher. Whether this eminent thinkea originated the idea is not clear, but there is no doubt that ids influence assisted in the establishment of the service under the auspices of a royal decree. ' Later on these earliest omnibuses ceased to run owing to lack of support, and did not reappear in Paris until 1527, when Lafitte, the banker, who was among the largest proprietors, was credited with originating the re- . vlved service. , The new coaches started to ply In London on July 4. 18'29, when the first one left Paddington for the Bank of England, and another ran from the bank to the Yorkshire Stingo, New road. These first British busses were known from the man who organized them as "Shiilibeers.” and the conductors of the first two are said to have been the sons of British naval officers. Three horses drew them, and they carried twenty-two passengers, all inside. —London Standard. HATS OF STRAW. China Gets the Credit For IlavinK First Made Them. The earliest makers of straw hats were unquestionably the Chinese. Their work was by no means rough in character, but plaited and sewn together with considerable skill, as may be seen today in the neighborhood of Canton. lu Europe hats were first made in . Paris by a Swiss so early as 1404, and | we find mentioned among the entries I of an inventory of the effects of Sir John Fastolfe, 1459, "four strawen hattes,” showing them to have been great rarities. Coryatt mentions them as worn in Provence, with a hundred seams, lim'd with silver and curiously worked. Tuscany, with Leghorn ns a center, took up tlie work early in the iUteenth century and lias maintained it with • considerable skill ever since. Bedfordshire. with Dunstable and Lutoiwis centers, has been the the industry in Eng';*- cvor s - n(?e the early part of th %^ent(;enth cent —London A Story of Matt Carpenter. Matt Carpenter, the famous Wisconsin senator, was pleading a case be- , fore the supreme court. Before lie had got half through with bis argument the ! judges bad made up their minds that bis case was without merit, and. more- ' over, that he was unprepared. When he finished his argument and counsel for the other side got up to reply, the j judges whispered to each other, nodded , and then tlie chief justice said. “I don't 1 think It will be necessary to hear from ' you. sir.” Carpenter s opponent was deaf, and lie could only tell that the ' chief justice was addressing him. He turned to Carpenter for aid. "What did the chief justice say. Matt?” he whispered. "He said he'd rather give you the case than listen to you,” Carpenter bawleel in bis ear. l.fvinK on a Few Cents n Day. Tlie problem of living on a few cents a day is not so difficult of solution if I one cares to limit oneself tc the actual : necessaries. For instance, we could point to the workers in the turpentine forests, who labor hard from sun to sun on a bill of fare that costs not j more than 5 or 6 cents per meal. The average ration of a turpentine “hand' ; in the woods per week is five pounds of bacon or pork, one peck of corn meal, one quart of molasses and a 1 pint of salt. The value of this ration ' is about $1 to $1 10. Tlie real problem, then, is not really ! how cheaply may one live, but how many of tlie extras of eating one is - willing to do without. — Savannah : News.
