With the lidiann Jegiatataie voting down the anti-traat bill, t) e United State* senito blocking railroad rate legislation and Commisaioner Garfield exonerating the beef trust, the people see how they were deceived by the republican party of false pretenses—Fort Wayne Journal Gazitte. The reappointment of Clark J. Lutz is another tribute by the board of oommissionera to the worth an<l ability and ambition* ot a capable lawyer and legal advisor. Mr. Litz tills the bill completely and will take care of the legal end of the county with fitness The Indiana senators have agreed on the pie distribution, their slate | of appointees being Elam H. Neal, internal resenue colli Ctor, at Law- 1 renoeburg, John R. Bonnell, at Terre Haute. J. B Keitling is to be ' United States district attorney, I Henry C- Petit United States marshal. and A. O. Marsh United States pension agent. This is satisfaotorv as far as it goes, but the size of the pie fails materially in sipplying the demand. The Sentinel take* this occasion to assure the minority membeis of the legislature tha’ they harp met the expootations of their party associates and that their courte with respect to proposed legislation has the approval of the state generally. In every pmrticular they have , done the best they could under disadvantageous oircumstances. Soj overwhelmingly was the majority I opposed t j them that it was only with great difficulty that they were able to make any impression upon it, to say nothing of carrying to a successful conclusion the measure which they believd were in the interest of the public. lu such really important legislation as has been done they have the satisfaction of batng recorded on the right side. For the failures that characterize the session's work thev are not responsible. They have done what they could as ojnsoientions representatives of the peop.e, and more could not be asked.—Sentinel.

TO VOTE Monroe to Hold Election March 20th Their Pi tit 01 tor Incorporation feedvrs Action bv Com ml»l oners. A petition was filed with the auditor, signed by one third or morn of the legal voters of Munroe, which prayed for an elect ion Jto determine their nght t>inoorp irate the town as a town. The petition was acoompinied by a mtp, survey and census of the town and covered other legal points relative to an undertaking of this kind The board of commissioners gave favorable action to the petition, and after instructing legal notice of the same, set, Monday, March 20, as a day for a vote to be taken upon the pc 'position. The sentiment seems I almost unanimous in favor of ino irporating, the little extra expense lin taxation being overcome by the fact that a better government will prevail. They may now have ordinance* that will have to b? obey- ' ed, while as at is they have to depend upon the state laws. With such an inoorporaton and the rebuilding of the burned business bloik Minrct will taki ou a decided different appearance. With this they will inciease the opportunities of the town and make it a to t r trading point. It takes lots of hustle in this day, and it would seem that Monroe has the fever and will profit thereby.

THE CURVED BALL. It Is Vbe Alm<,«|il>er» Which <•»••• Ua Kecvhtrts Shoots. Mv» ».>y ten year-old youngster can cunt r bob. ever, though lie dot-s not know why be cm. do so except that the leather must le held In a certain way. Possibly a half dozen of the major league twirlers know something about the science of the curve, but comparatively few understand why they can produce their "benders.*’ The ficlentlfic American gives the follow Ing ns the edontlflc explanation of thu mutter: "The pitcher in the field telle us that the bail curves because he gives It a twist, but scientifically this will not do. Why will the twist make the curve? if a ball were thrown In a certain dl rectiou and if the force of gravitation were not at work the ball would continue on In a straight line forever. Some force of resistance is then at work when a ball Is made to deviate in a curve from its straight course. If a feather is dropped in a vacuum in an exhausted receiver of an air pump it will drop like n shot, but if ft le dropped out In the air It will go down irregularly and elowly, shifting from side to side. “It is the atmosphere which causes the ball to mere. Hearing In mind that the atmosphere Is a compressible, elastic gn*. we find that when the ball leaves the hand of the pitcher with a rapid rotary motion It ‘lmpinges upon a continuous elastic cushion.’ and this moderate resistance, or friction, changes its course in the direction which is given to the rotary motion. Take an outshoot ot a right handed pitcher, for Instance. He impresses upon the ball a rapid centrifugal rotary motion to the left, and the ball goes to the left because the atmosphere compressible and elastic. Is packed into an elastic cushion just ahead of the ball by the swift forward and rotary motion, and the friction, which Is very great in front of the ball, steers it in the direction which It is turning.”

A NOTABLE MEETING. Held tn the Inlerent ot "Woman’* RlKbl*” 1« W«>The first racenied public meeting in the interest of "woman s rights" was held ic the town of Medford. Mast., in 1701. The gallery of the church was occupied by the young unmarried people of the congregation, one side and one bait the front gallery being given to the young men. the other side and the other half being given to the young women. But In the seating in this eventful year the youug men we.-e given the entire front of the gallery ns | well, and the young women were only | allowed one side of the gallery. , Then it was that things began to ’ happen. Treatment like this wasn't to I be tolerated ev«n for a moment. The I blood of the ruture mothers of the 1 Revolution was fully aroused, ana the j young women made such an uproar , and commotion that It speedily became I a town matter, and a town meeting ’ was called to restore to them their rights In half of the front gallery. The young men of the dny were bit- 1 terly opposed to extending any new I privileges to women, and the fight ex- I tended beyond Medford. Shortly after the Introduction of “pues” into the churches, by which families wee seji- i orated from the remainder of the eon- 1 gregntion, the selectmen of the town , of Newbury gave permission to a group of young women to build a "pue" in the gallery of the church upon their own side of the bouse. This extension of privilege was resented by the young bachelors to such a degree that they . broke a window of the church, forced an entrance and backed the pew la ( pieces. For this act of sacrilege the voting men of Newbnry were fined 810 each and sentenced to be whipped or j pilloried. But they were manly enough to confess their folly and ask pardon, so this part of their punishment was omitted. So you see the "woman’s rights” movement Isn't a modern one.— i Boston Herald.
