No doubt as with the fee and salary bill they will squarely go back on their platform.

Our esteemed contemporary seeks to put Moore against Sullivan, Coy et al. in in the matter of party responsibility, but it forgets that the Democratic rascals held public office and were leaders in the party, therefore representative of the party, whereas Moore was a Republican only as a voter and cannot be set up as a chosen representative of that party.

"The Republicans in the Indiana legislature cannot realize that the Democratic majority has a right to rule and are constantly provoking a quarrel," says the Ft. Wayne Sentinel. Yes, they do. But the minority has aright to be heard. The Republicans are not provoking a quarrel. They are merely calling attention to the ruin that follows the Democratic rule, and if in so doing their shouts are rather loud, the Sentinel must not be ajarmed it is only to make all the people look at what is being done.

A TALE OF A TELEGRAM.

[From Bow Bells

"Minnie!" The voice was very stern, and quickly a head covered with masses of soft brown hair was raised from volume of music. "What is it? Are you sick, Richie?" Minnie asked, anxiously, noticing clouded brow. "Yes sick enough—at heart," mentally added. "Come into the eervatory a few moments. It is.terribly warm and close in here."

con-

Minnie closed the book with a halfregretful expression, and said: "I have promised Charlie to sing this with him. But he can wait."

Taking Richie's arm she passed through the parlor, where were gathered a of music-loving people, into the conservatory.

After seating his companion, Richard Grafton, with eyes dark and flashing, said: "Minnie, I am heartily sick of this flirtation between you and Lamar, He has been hanging over you the entire evening. This is more than human nature can stand." "Man's nature, yours in particular, I think, if you will say it, will more clearly express the truth," Minnie replied with provoking coolness. "Well, my nature, if you please, I can not, and will not, permit this to continue," Richard said, beginning to pace up and down before her. "Indeed! How will my would-be master prevent it?" "How? Easily, by finding that fel low's brains, if he has any, and give them a little leaden pill."

Quickly the flushed face paled. Richard saw this, and asked, very significantly: "Minnie, how would you like to have a man's life on your hands? Indeed, two. I shall kill him, I fear then losing you, life will be a burden, and I shall end my own misery speedily."

After delivering this all-conquering speech, ae, he intended it to be, Richard looked as if the deed was already commenced. "For mercy's sake, hush! How can you talk thus? You ought to be ashamed to try and terrify me so, Richie! Ypu will be to-morrow, when you are cooler, and possessed of your true senses." "Well, Minnie, you ought not to do it. It is positively cruel of you! Really, upon my word, it is! Torturing me by inches, keeping me on the rack, crushing out my heart, indeed my very life out! And you know, Minnie, how wholly and entirely I love you! I would die to save you pain or sorrow, my darling I would, indeed!"

Minnie was calm, quiet and decided now, and she answered, "Richie, your words are not very consistent but no matter about that now. I want you to listen to me, and believe what I say. tiirst of all, that unless you conquer this fearful jealousy you will make yourself and every one connected with you miserable. Unless you have perfect confidence in me you can never call me yours. Again, the only thing that draws Charley and me together is music. We are both devoted to it. His voice and mine are admirably adapted, and we love to sing together." "I wish to heaven I could sing!" interrupted Richard. "I'd give you enough. You should have it for breakfast, and dinner, and supper. Yes. and I would sandwich it in between times wherever I'd find a chance. Besides, I'd put you to sleep and waken you with it. I will start now and try to find somebody, and I will give half my wordly goods to them to cultivate my voice. Some wonderful profess-sir, or, better still, profess-her and may be she wiii, if not succeeding in the cultivation of my voice, find my heart worth it, and end in comforting me for your treatment. Now, Minnie, how will you like this? Now I think of it, I know just the dearest, sweetest, prettiest, and altogether loveliest little music teacher in the world. I really do."

Minnie's grave face had to relax into merry dimples at Richie's pun and implied threat. After a moment she replied, "Never mind about your voice, Richie and as to your heart's culture, I prefer attending to that myself. But listen I have not fioished. I am a little mortified that you have not a higher estimate of my character. Think you that I would flirt with, or try to win a man from the side of a girl to whom he is engaged? You know well enough, Charley won May Revere's love, and her promise to be his, six months ago. Now if we, Charley and I, had any affection for each other, why did we not find it out before I met you, or he May? No, Richie, I would not give your heart, when it is all right, for a dozen Charlies, or for any other I know. You may be .sure of this and be sure, too, of another thing—you must end those continued doubts. This scene must never again be repeated. No, come let us ap back. It is not polite to absent ourselves so long." "Bless your dear, pure heart, love! Forgive me. Yee, I will try and drive forth this demon that gets hold of me. Now we are all right again!"

And smiling happily now he passed, with his love, back through the room, and placed her where he had takeu her.

With wonderful control of feeling he listened to the song that followed—notwithstanding Charley Lamar's whole eoul was in his voice, and beamed in his handsome eyes, as he watched Minnie. Indeed, another heart grew anxious. May Revere began to wish she could sing, too.

Little May pouted considerably on their way home that night. Charley, however, soon brought her round all right, by whispering lots of loving words and vowing his own dear sweetheart was the lovliest of all women in the world to him. And so the affair ended for the time.

The next few weeks both young men were busily engaged in their respective occupations. Early in the spriog Richard Grafton was sent by the firm by which he was employed on an extensive business tour through the country. Ere leaving, he had won from Minnie the promise of becoming his soon after his return. So h* bade good-by to his love, feeling very hopeful and happy. Regularly came to him letters which cheered and comforted the lonely hours of his absence.

Of course other letters besides Minnie's were received, and with occasionally such remarks as this: "You had better hasten home, my dear fellow, or a certain musical phap will comfort your girl so thoroughly for

your absence that she may grow careless of your coming at all!" If Richie felt a pang of uneasiness, it was soon dispelled by the next letter from Minnie. "I will not doubt her. She is true.

Glad tidings came to Richie—a letter biddiDff his immediate return. Quickly to Minnie was sent this, as he thought, joyful news, in two days after the receipt of which he promised to be with her. On his arrival at B——, he found it necessary to delay over night.

Thinking Minnie would be eagerly watching his coming, he stepped into the telegraph office. The operator was an old friend. After a warm greeting, Richard took up a pencil and, writing the following, handed it to him:

Miss MINSIE IRVING. NO. —, Felston street, T/f Delayed over night. Shall come by the morning train.

His friend read this, and then instead of sending it, turned, and, with a puzzled look, said: "Richard, I thought all was over between you and thatjyoung lady?" "Heaven forbid!" Richard answered. "But what on earth made you think so?" "I have good cause for thinking so. Richard, she is not worthy your love and I have good reason for thinking that young lady may even now be in this city and possibly, is already the wife of another. I am going against the rules of the office, when I show you this, received last night."

Taking from a hook a slip of paper, he pointed to this dispatch: To MB. CHARLES LAMAR, House. I'll follow thee. (Signed) MINNIE.

Richard read and sank into a chair. The perspiration gathered in great cold drops on his forehead. "Bear up, Dick! After awhile you will thank heaven that she belongs to another man, no doubt." "Don't—don't talk so, Phil! Oh, how I loved that girl, and had such perfect faith in her. What shall I do? Go mad, 1 fear!"

With a deep groan Richard's head sank on the table beside him. Phil passed his arm around him a moment, hardly knowing what to say then he asked, "Is it possible for any mistake?" "No, no!" groaned Richard. "And to think of their coming here to the same house they know I always come! Oh, she never got my last letter! Confound the mails. No dependence can be placed in them nowadays!" "Females, I should think you had better say," Phil muttered, with a rueful shake of his head. "Now, Dick, be a man. Go home find some other girl— truer, if not prettier win her heart, and marry her as soon as possible." "Poor little May! she is suffering, too! She was perfectly devoted to that rascal! I've a mind—yes, by Jove, I will—yes, if I repent it all life—go right off and marry her!" "That's right, old fellow! You will not repent. They are all about alike only some, of course, much better than the others. For instance, this little May, I've no doubt is a jewel!"

The next train carried Richard, with a copy of the dispatch, to W and right to May's side. She and Charley had had a severe scene three days before—Minnie, of course, the cause. She, too, had heard of Charley's trip to and knew that Minnie and Charley's sister had gone that morning.

Richard found her in tears, and when he produced the dreadful dispatch all seemed perfectly plain.

They had undoubtedly eloped. Richard tried his best to comfort the poor little thing. Not being very successful at this he tried to arouse her pride. At this he succeeded better. "May, don't let them say we are breaking our hearts let us try and comfort eaoh other. I do believe we will grow to love in time. What say you?"

Well, Richard won May's promise to go with him to a minister and be quietly married.

Poor child! she spent the night in tears, and he was calling down maledictions on the false Minnie's head.

Soon after Richard Grafton and May Revere presented themselves before the reverend man, who thought they were just the sorriest-looking couple he had ever seen. However, he proceeded with his business.

May's friend, who stood by her side, passed her arm around the trembling girl, as the minister said: "It any one here knows of any good cause why these two should not be joined

He had not finished the question, when the door was hastily thrown open and Charley Lamar rushed in, exclaiming:

Certainly, sir, I do. This is my promised wife!" In an instant May dropped into his arms, sobbing hysterically.

Turning, Charley said to the astonished clergyman: "This will only be a postponement of short duration. I trust, sir, this young lady will come to you again, but in my charge next time."

When outside of the house he said to Richard: "Your confounded jealousy has nearly ruined the life of four people. MiDnie and myself were to sing at the concert in last night so we all went, hoping to give you a happy surprise, to the hotel, where Minnie said you always stopped. I thought we four you and Minnie, sister and I—would have a merry time, and this foolish child was to be of our party but she was in the dumps and would not see me."

But that telegram from Minnie, saying she would follow you?" interrupted Richard. "No such telegram was sent. It was the name of the song she was to sing. I'll Follow Thee,' and if you had not been so blinded you would have remembered it aa her best song. Often she has sung it to you."

All was plain enough then, and bitterly Richard repented his folly. It was all right between Charley and May but with poor Richard it was not so easy to back Minnie. She would not see him. In reply to his repeated notes, suing forgiveness, only came the words, "Forgiven, but no longer trusted." "Not at home," to his frequent calls. An| so the affair remained until Richard Grafton got pretty well smashed up by railroad collision. When the report cams to Minnie that her lover was dying, she flew to his side, and dropping down beside his couch, cried, "Richie, dear, speak to me! Don't die, Richie! Live for my sake! Indeed, I shall die, too, if you do!''

Suffering as he wae, Richie put forth hie hand and 6miled. Of course he lived. Who would not, under such circumstances?

And now I've only to tell that a double wedding is announced for an early date, and the young people of my story take the leading parts. I mean the girls, of course, and the young men follow them.

To Vote on Prohibition.

The citizens of four states, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Nebraska, will soon have submitted to them the question of a constitutional prohibitory amendment. The members of the Women's christian temperance union in each state are working hard in every town and village to secure adoption of the amendment.

THE TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS, MONDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 25, 1889.

MARY AXDEBSON NO LOJIGEH COLD.

The Attacks of St. Lomis Paper* Work the Pretty Actress to a White Heat. If the critics who charge Mary Anderson with frigidity could have seen that classical star to-day they would have be come quickly convinced that she was capable of attaining a white heat, says & St. Louis special. She was mad, hot, and tearful, and all on account of the horrid St. Louis critics. She was announced here for only five performances, and the ticket scalpers scooped in all the best seats for every performance. The idea of putting St. Louis down for five performances appeared to the papers a serious affront to the dignity of the city and smacked too much cf the one night stand business. Then the scalpers held tickets at $5 a seat, and this made the public mad. The morning after the first performance the papers unanimously sat down on Abbey's star. And the sitting down process was crushing. A leading paper said, "She is a long-limbed, expression-less-featured woman, with a reach that would make a prize fighter's fortune and a voice that is large and somewhat rich, but that has never been attuned to agreeable music and that can no more interpret the low, sweet melodies of the soul than a mule can sing a lullaby or a buzz-saw can warble 'The Last Rose of Summer.'" To-day the assaults were even more terrific. One critic wrote: "As for Perdita, the delineation of the sweet, girlish rusticity anf roseate warmth of love which crown the character of this delicious creation of Shakspeare is aa far beyond Mary Anderson as the constellation of Hcrcules is beyond the dead moon. Yon might as well talk of the versatility of a marlinspike or the Protean qualities of a chunk of red granite. It is as sensible to assert that Mary Anderson is twins or triplets as to assert that she is versatile. She is always Mary Anderson, undisguised and unchangeable, p*etty to look upon in repose, agreeable to listen to in declamatory bursts, beaitifully robed, and pictorially attractive, but a mediocre actress at every point."

Abbey swore to-night that he would hereafter boycott St. Louis, and that neither Patti nor Anderson, nor any of his attractions would ever come here more. Miss Anderson would not act the week out but for her manager.

Mary Enjoined at Louisville. OUISVILLE, February 2i.—Bourdor Bros., of the Masonic Temple, brought suit yesterday to enjoin Mary Anderson from playing at Macauley's next week. The yshow a contract of a yearss' tanding by which Anderson wae to play at their place and claim that the change will do irreparable damage to themselves as managere and to the reputation of their theateer. Chancellor Edwards took the case under consideration.

WANTED

A

MONKEY WRENCH.

Th Desire of a Young Man Who Had Attended a Dinner. A few days ago a young man of good antecedents arrived in Washington, says the Post of that city. Like Young Lochinvar, ne had come out of the West, and before he had time to get the burs out of his mane he was invited to a dinner given night before last by M. Fortin, who was chef de cusine of the White house during President Arthur's administration. Yesterday morning the young man stepped into this office to tell us about it, and to ask us to put ia a good word for M. Fortin, who wishes to be the caterer for President Harrison. 'It was a good dinner, was it?" we

"I sh'd smile," said he. "Why, it lasted from 10 o'clock at night till nobody knows what time this morning." "What did you have between courses?" "Ob, some salads and things. They were very nice, but I didn't pay much attention to anything but the regular courses." •How many courses were there?" 'I dunno. I didn't count 'em— couldn't." 'How were the courses served?" 'In goblets. You see, it was this way: Every time .anybody's goblet was empty Colonel Fred Muesey would get up and propose a toast to Moosyeh Fortin, and Moosyah Fortin would go around with a bottle and give us another course. I couldn't keep count of 'ena for five or six hours."

Before the young man left us he came close and said ia a low, brown plush tone: "You ain't got a monkey wrench around here anywhere, have you?" "No. Why?" "I'd like to put on my hat before I go out on the street."

Indiana in Science.

Indiana has received recognition from a high source. The distinguished scientist, Professor Laslie, director of the geological survey of Pennsylvania, an expert in his particular branch of knowledge, is now engaged in preparing a work entitled a "Dictionary of Fossils of Pennsylvania and Elsewhere," which is but a modeet title. It should be named, and properly too, an "Eacyclopedia of Paleontological Scienna." The work is being pushed by the state of Pennsylvania, and will consist of two or three volumes of 500 pages each. Advance proof sheets have been received of the first 240 pages, which contain 14S plate engravings taken directly from "Collett's Geological Reports of Indiana," 1881,to 1881 inclusive. In each case full credit is given in the engraving and text, so that the state has credit nearly three hundred times in this very small per cent, of pages received. When the entire work is taken into consideration, Indiana is represented by a "figure" illustration on every page of this valuable addition to science so far as compiled. Of these full-plate engravings, thirty-eight were borrowed from the scientists of New York, while the rest were published for the first time by the state of Indiaua.-r{Indianapolis Journal.

Gladstone on Washington.

Wishing to secure a tribute to Washington worthy of the subject, and knowing the high estimate the Hon. W. E. Gladstone put upon his genius and deeds, the editor of America in November last wrote to the great commoner asking for a monograph. Mr. Gladstone wrote as follows—the letter, by the way, arrriving in Chicago Deoember 12th, and delivered by carrier January 29th:

DEAR SIR: I am much honoured by yiur letter. But I can not act upon It Washington Is a vnhle subject I studied him 40 years ago with love and admiration. But It Is not In my power now to.renew the study, and I should not like to profane the theme by thin and slovenly work.

Your very faithful and obedient W. E. Gladstone.

Mrs. Frank Leslie has sold to W. J. Arkell, of Judge, her weekly illustrated papers, both English and German, the transfers to be made May 1st. Mrs. Leslie will retain and personally direct her other publications. Mr. Arkell refuses to state the price paid. He says

the policy of the weekly will remain the same—aggressive and independent. The present force will be retained and new skill added. Mr. Arkell said he had been negotiating for thes9 papers since 1883.

FROM SCHOOLMASTER TO SENATOR.

New Hampshire'* New Senator Taught School in Iadiaaapelis. A dispatch from New Hampshire says that 'Governor Sawyer has appointed General Gilman Marston United States senator from the fourth of March till the legislature of June can elect, says the Indianapolis News. The legislature probably could not do better than elect General Marston his own successor. A very few of the greyheaded grandfathers of this city can well remember General Marston as the teacher of a select little school of boys in a second-story room of a two story frame block that was bnrned in 1852, on the north Bide of Washington street, nearly opposite the New York •tore site. Among his pupils in 18371838 were William Wallace, General Law Wallace, their brother Edward, H. C. Brown, brother of Ignatius, B. R. Sulgrove, Wood Browning, Bish Osborne and probably a dozen others. He was a big-nosed, Bhort-sighted, stoopshouldered, reserved young mm of probably 25 years of age, a good scholar, a careful, conscientious, but by no means companionable teacher, and a man of sterling worth in all relations. ID '38, or thereabouts, he took charge of the Franklin institute, on the west side of the Circle, north of Market, with Mrs. Eliza Richmond in charge of the female department. He left this school the following year, and was succeeded by Orlando Chester. Indianapolis heard no more of him then for twenty years, when two of his eld pupils, while in Washington, found him a member of congress from New Hampshire, and much the same man in every way that he was when he was a Hoosier pedagogue. He entered the army early in the ci vil war, and lost an arm at Ball's Bluff, one of the earliest of the battles of the Potomac region. A few years later was made governor of one of the new Rocky mountain territories, Idaho or Wyoming, and continued for a number of years. He has long been a Republican leader in New Hampshire.

Harrison on a Second Term. A lady said to him: "I suppose I shall not meet you again before your departure for Washington. I want to express my wishes for your success, and I hope you will be re-elected for another term." "I thank you," replied General Harrison, with a serious expression of countenance, "but I am not sure that I care to be re-elected."

In speaking to General Fred Knefer, an old friend, about his departure, he said: "1 am beginning to realize that it is a lonesome thing to be president." —[Chicago Tribune.

Overestimated His Strength. "I think I must have overestimated my personal magnetism and popularity," said a badly defeated ofGceseeker. "Whatever induced you to think that you possessed those qualifications?" inquired his unsympathetic wife. "Because," he replied sadly, "my name is Robert but every body calls me Bob." —[New York Sun.

Bank Taxation in This State. The attorney general has given an opinion, at the request of a county treasurer, that the law is not unconstitutional which concerns the taxation of bank°. The particular point upon which he asked for advice was the clause stating that a bank may deduct from amounts of money on hand with which it is charged in addition to capital stock, the amount of deposits.

Our Consul at Paris in Trouble. Major Rathbun, consul at Paris, had a curious experience during the BoulangerJacques election excitement. A newspaper article advocating the choice of "le Brsv' General" appeared over his signature. He was able to prove, however, that he had nothing to do with the article in question.

Wyoming's Crack Fuel.

Sunflowers are used in Wyoming Territory for fuel. The stalks, when dry, are as hard as maple wood, and make a hot fire, and the seed heads with the seeds in are said to burn better than the best hard coal. An acre of sunflowers will furnish fuel for one stove for a year.

Mr, Dlalne and the Bsatbtuck. James G. Blaine was approached by a bootblack in Washington a few days ago. "Are you a Republican or a Democrat?" asked Mr. Blaine, facetiously. "Neither,"' said the boy. "I'm a Blaine man." It was rather a doubtful compliment, but Mr. Blaine took a "shine."

Before the daughter of a rich San Franciscan left home for Europe Bhe made out a telegraphic code and gave it to her father. The millionaire didn't look at it, but locked it in hie desk. Last week he got a telegram from her. It consisted of one word—"Laugh." He laughed. It seemed to be something quite pleasant. His code was at the house. He went up there in the best of humor. He got out the code and he read: "Laugh—send me $500."

A half-breed Sioux boy at the Hampton institute philosophizes thus: "When I do anything white man don' like he call me 'Injun' when I do anything Injun don' like he call me 'white man'. Then," he went on, "they say Injun don' know so much as white man not got so much sense. White boy he go to school six, seven, may be ten years he know good deal. Injun go to school three years everybody think he ought to know just as much as white boy. What that mean? That mean, I think, Injun great deal smarter than white boy!"

A very novel feature is to be introduced into the asylum for the blind to be established in Pittsburg. Dr. Campbell, of the Royal institute for the blind in London, who is expected to be in charge of the asylum, aroused the greatest interest in the world's metropolis when in last September he selected a class of blind pupils whom he taught to ride on the bicycle, and they, with him in the lead, rode from London to Derby. The distance between the two places is 12C miles, and a remarkable fact in connection with the feat was that no accident occurred on the way. Dr. Campbell will follow out his ideas on the subject when he takes charge of the asylum at Pittsburg.

The Rev. Dr. Sunderland, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Washington, D. C., has been much annoyed of late years by people who visited his church on Sunday simply to see Mrs. Cleveland. Last Sunday a party visited his church, but on learning that Mrs. Cleveland was not present they went away noisily. Advancing to the front of the platform Dr. Sunderland said: "It is impossible for me to state how grieved I am at the exhibition of extreme rudeness just exhibited by a few chance visitors to this church, who, being disappointed in their curious desire to look upon the face of one of our number, have left our midst for the more pleasureable though less hallowed enjoyment of their Sunday papers."

A romantic history is Stanley's. An orphan asylum in the old world is hardly the place whence genius and fame would take their rise. Yet thence starts Stanley. He was born in Denbigh, Wales, and his original name was John Rowlands. He had a right to change it if he wanted to, and he did so. Stanley was the name of a New Orleans merchant for whom the boy worked. When he was 13 years old he left the orphan asylum in Wales atd started out to shift for himself. He shipped as cabin boy from Liverpool to New Orleans, and thus he first came to America. Few men have had so adventurous a life. During the war he served in both the Confederate and .Union armies. Then he wandered aw8y to find Livingstone, and in another journey explored the Congo. These are his two greatest exploits. After he found Livingstone, Queen Victoria presented to the nameless orphan Welch boy a gold snuff box. His Congo exploration opened up to civilized man a waterway nearly six thousand miles long, through a rich and populous country.
