The supreme court commission bill is unconstitutional in several respects. It is nothing less than an attempt to give salaries to worn-out Democratic politicians. Those of them elected by the legislature, who had served on the supreme bench, hnve records as disposing of fewer cases than any judges who had served in the court. As to the others, the law should have come under the head of charity.

Fisticuffs in the house of representatives of the state of Indiana are wholly inexcusable. There was much provacation for the impulsive act of the representative from Jefferson county, no doubt, but it is a pity that he made the worst break of the session. However, he made a manly apology and sought in every way to atone for his offense. The Democrats could not appreciate any such honorable efforts and jumped at the chance to make an issue of the event therefore the regret that Mr. Linck gave them the opportunity.

"These live officers should not have been retained on the police force five minutes after the developments, as I have heard them." This was the remark of a Chicago judge, after hearing the testimony on a charge of unwarranted cruelty on the part of the ollicers in making nn arrest. The police claimed that the persons arrested were a "bad lot." The judge "after hearing the evidence, said that, even if all the allegations of the defendants were true, it was plain that the complainants were, after all, guilty only of the violation of a city ordinance, which fact did not give the officers a right to subject the woman to indignities. He held the officers to the grand jury in S3,000 in each case." So it would seem that in Chicago police officers are not permitted to inflict punishment on per sons because they are "bad lots."

THE OLDEST AERONAUT.

Special Correspondence of the Globe-Democrat BALTIMORE, February 22.—In a little old house in the eastern part of this town lives the oldeet aeronaut in the world. For half a century George pjlliott was known all over this country for his daring .balloon ascensions. During his a:rial career he made no lees than one hundred and forty ascensione and was but once seriously injured, though having many hair-breadth escapes. For many years he has lived a quiet, secluded life in Baltimore, having passed out of public notice more than a decade ago. His last ascension was made in 1883, from a summer resort near this city, on which occasion he made his second narrow escape from a watery grave in the Chesapeake bay. Prior to this ascension he had "not indulged in a flight," to use his own way of putting it, since the opening of the civil war. The veteran balloonist is now 84 years old, but, barring a trifling deafness, is possessed of all his faculties and is in the enjoyment of fairly good health. "Professor" Elliott is fond of telling of his balloon adventures, but of late years has had no one to tell them to, nearly all of his old friends and associates having passed away, and the strange young people in the neighborhood manifesting no interest is the white-haired old man. The writer found him smoking an old meerchaum that had been presented to him fifty years ago by the mayor of a Southern city. "I made my tirst ascension said the veteran, "on August 5,1834, the twentyninth anniversary of my birth. I shall never forget it. I took with me a little boy, and we started from old Fort

Federal Hill, in this city. •'After being in the air for about a half hour we were overtaken by a terrible storm, and came near losing our lives. I was afterwards told by the spectators that it was an awful sight to see the balloon tossed hither and thither among the black clouds, with the lightning playing about it as though it offered some terrible fascination for that destructive fluid. The mother of the boy who was with me fainted at the sight, and was thought to be dead. The Bto*m quieting, we sailed toward the bay. When off Hawkin's Point the valve became disarranged, and we were precipitated into the water. The steamer Maryland was coming up the river with an excursion party from Annapolis. Those on board sighted us while we were still in midair, and when they saw us falling a panic prevailed on board. The steamer was so near that I could see the commotion on her, and to quiet it told the boy, who maintained wonderful presence of mind, to wave his hat, which he did amid great cheering. We were taken on board the steamer and congratulated. "One old lady, putting her arms around my neck, said: "The Lord has preserved you!' Referring to our briny bath, I replied, 'No, ma'am he has pickled us.'"

The venerable aeronaut laughed heartily as he repeated this little joke, and continuing said: "The only thing remarkable about my second ascension was the coincidence that I alighted in the same cherry tree in Hartford county, Maryland, into which Durend, the first aeronaut to make an ascension from Baltimore, had descended just one year earlier. "In 1835 I sailed from Charleston, South Carolina, and after a narrow escape from being shipwrecked I met with a royal reception in the Southern city. "On my first ascension from Charleston I was carried seaward over John and James islands and landed on Wadmelo island. Dr. Angel, an immensely wealthy planter, resided on Wadmelo island amid almost oriental luxuries. He was highly pleased at my unexpected visit. After spending the night at his house I was taken back to Charleston by his race boat, manned by twelve sturdy black men. My second ascension was uneventful. On my third I reached the height of three and a half or four miles, and was in the air about one or three-quarters of an hour, having been unable to descend earlier on account of some difficulty in opening the valve of the ballpon. When I descended it was perfectly dark, and I alighted in the bay, about ten or twelve miles outside the bar, where I remained for several hours supported by the balloon, when a skiff from the pilotboat Cora, Captain Adert, came to my relief. I was transferred from the Cora in the vicinity of Sullivan's island to ithe steamboat Etiwan, Captain Sassard, which boat had been dispatched to my assistance at a late hour of the night. "After these events I continued my tour to New Orleans, where my first trip occupied three hours, and I landed on the battle ground where General Jackeon, with his Kentucky and Mississippi riflemen, defeated General Pakenham with his Etigiish regulars in 1815. "My second ascension, which was the most unfortunate I ever had, was made from the state house yard ac New Orleans. A high wind was blowing and a heavy flaw struck the balloon just as she bounded from the earth. Before I had time to think, the car of tbe balloon collided with the tall chimney on the state house, knocking about ten feet of it down and bruising me considerably. Fifteen bricks fell in the car, the weight of which was not sufficient to bring the balloon to the ground, yet was too great to permit it to rise higher in the air. Consequently, under the influence of the wind, which was on the increase, the balloon went careering just a few feet above the house tops. With frantic energy I began throwing brick, sand-bags and everything I could out of the car. While thus engaged I hept a sharp look out. Presently I saw that a collision with the dormer window of the bank of Louisiana was unavoidable, and prepared myself for it by crouching down in the car. The balloon escaped it, but the car, from the momentum it had gained, was thrown clear through the window, smashing the glass, and then as violently jerked out again. The shock of the collision broke my thigh and rendered me senseless. The balloon continued its flight until it caught in the rigging of a Dutch ship which was lying alongside the levee. I was rescued from my perilous position and taken under the care of Dr. Lusenburg. at that time the most noted surgeon in the South. My thigh was terribly shattered and it was thought to be necessary to amputate tbe leg, but by a skilful operation Dr. Lusenburg succeeded, after extracting four and one-half inches of the bone, in restoring to me the use of that useful member. That was the last ballooning I did for nineteen years. "During all these years I resided quietly Baltimore, but finally, after nearly twenty years, I again took to ballooning. I made one ascension from Slash Cottage, about sixteen miles from Richmond, Ya.

Slash Cottage was the birth-

Eas

lace of Henry Clay, and grown to be quite a city since then. I landed in the top branchee of a big pine tree, and had tbe alternative of having the tree cut down or of jumping into a smaller tree and climbing to the ground. I accepted the latter. From the side of the car I dived headlong into the branches of a little white oak. The jump dislocated my shoulder. "One day, on an ascension from Johnston county, N. C., seeing a grand old mansion, and thinking it a good place to spend the night, I descended. The day was faultless. On the descent I could distinguish a group of negroes watching me. As I drew nearer this group scattered, and whjn-I jumped out of the car not a creature was in sight, with the exception of a very old woman, called 'Aunt Selby.' 'Aunt Selby' was noted for her religious enthusiasm, and seeing me drop, as it were, out of the very heavenB, thought me to be a visitor from the better world. Although fully 90 years old, she sang hymn after hymn with the vigor of youth, and it was with difficulty that I at last convinced her that I was human and not a celestial visitor. "After making two ascensions from fat. Louis, I determined to make my farewell trip notable, and to give the natives something to talk about. The year previous M. Cadard, an officer of engineers in the army of France, had made an ascension on horseback. Believing myself capable of doing the same, I procured a young pony. Before making the trip I desired to experiment, to find how the pony would act when lifted from the ground. For this purpose I hired a new warehouse. Having hired men to help me, I proceeded to fasten girths under the horse, so that I could swing him in the air. Before the first girth could be fastened, he began to kick at a terrible Tate. The men ran up the ladder to the second story, and some one frantically pulled the ladder after him, thus leaving me at the mercy of the frantic pony. The furious animal stood for an instant glaring at me. This suspension of action probably saved my life, for when he made for me I had picked up a heavy piece of scantling, and it was an easy matter to keep him off. The next day I traded that pony for another, with a more amiable temper. The ascension was made from the residence of Judge Carr, in St. Louis. People came from all over the country, and, long before the time arrived, every suitable place in the neighborhood was crowded. The horse on whose back I was to explore the clouds was fed with candy and peanuts until I feared he would become too heavy for the balloon to carry. Fastening the horse to the balloon and jumping on his back, I was off, amid a burst of music and cheering. That was the moment which I dreaded most of all, for

I feared that the horse, becoming excited at the noise, would kick. Had he done so, that would probably have been the last of me, but during the ordeal not a tremor passed through his body. I remained almost stationary in the air for over an hour. I could easily distinguish the sea of faces watching me. When over Columbia bottom, at the junction of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, I slowly descended. I came down between two gigantic sycamore trees and stuck fast between them. As I could go neither up or down I was in a dilemma, until I spied a bag of sand, which I had thoughtfully takenjalong. Cutting this down, I went above the trees again. The balloon was now beautifully decorated with sycamore balls, which had been scraped off the trees. Sailing on a little further, I landed in the midst of a lot of wood poles. As soon as the pony landed he began quietly to eafc^ the rich grass, as though a spin in mid-air was an everyday pastime with him. Columbia bottom then was connected with the city by a road called JJthe Broad road. The people having seen where I was likely to fall came down the Broad road in masses. One enthusiast, after telling me that I strikingly resembled a "horse cake" when in the air, insisted on my getting in his buggy, while he rode the now famous pony. "On my last ascension from Magnolia Salt Sulphur Springs, Va., I rose to the height of 20,000 feet, passing over the great Dismal Swamp, and immediately over Lake Drummond. Below me was a sheet of water some twenty mile9 in circumference, decorated with a rich foilage of forest trees and shrubbery to the water's edge, and for miles around in the distance could be seen at the same time the waters of the Albemarle and Chesapeake. The cities of Norfolk and Portsmouth, with the rich glare and reflection from the glass, added to the luster ot the scenery, would have filled the measure of the most fastidious observer. But about this time, amid the beauties of the landscape, I discovered a leak in the balloon, and that it was descending, and, having already discharged all the ballast, I felt some concern that I should escape the swamp. In descending, however, the current sent me in shore about two and a half miles from the lake and two miles frou the high land, and finally landed me and the balloon on the outer limbs of a large black gum tree, in a cypress swamp, several miles from the nearest dwelling. Here I concluded, as the sun was down, there was nojother alternative than to remain suspended in my car till morning. "Although hanging in the air by the netticg of my balloon some sixty feet from the earth, I was in a disputed region, and, as would appear, an unwelcome visitor, not only to the feathered tribe, but to the wild animals that inhabit those parts. As night was closing in I heard a winding horn, to which I responded at the top of my lungs. A rescuing party was on the way. They were negroes belonging to the adjacent farm, the owner of which, observing my descent dispatched them to my assistance. Although it was dark, I began to think of extricating myself, though it was out of the power of those below to render me any aid. It was only by repeated blows of the kedge that I succeeded in grappling some part of the tree, whereby I drew myself and the car to a limb, about the size of my arm. On this frail branch, groping in the dark, crawling and sometimes slipping nearly off, I was compelled to find my way some twentyfive feet to the main trunk of the tree. On descending I found a hollow large enough to hare taken in a horse. Some distance below I got into a crow's nest, but fearing it might now be the resting place of serpents, I soon got out, and made my way below to the lowest limb. Being then some forty feet from the ground, and resting my feet on a large protuberance, I swung myself off by the small cable which was made fast to the limb above, and went down with the run, breaking the rope and falling some twenty feet in the swamp, yet I escaped unhurt except a little bruised and injured in the hands from the running of the rope. The task of making my way out of the swamp was not without difficulties, but after a time was accomplished without any other adventure. The balloon being visible at remote points by persons who had never heard of such things, various conjec­

tures were formed. A member of the church had frequently 'labored with his negroes in a pious way without avaiL He never knew one of them to pray until when the balloon was in full view. The negroes were impressed with the belief thai, the end of the world had come, and that Gabriel v.-aa giving the final blast. They fell on their knees crying for mercy.

These are but a few of the adventures of the old aeronaut, whose a?rial career would make several volumes of interesting reading.

TROUBLE IN A SEMINARY.

Protestant Young Ladles Object to Catholic Services. Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat.

TORONTO, Ont., February 27.—The agitation going.on here and throughout Ontario against the Jesuits, and incidentally against all Catholic institutions, has had the effect of completely upsetting the usually serene course of affairs in the Notre Dame institution on Bond street, a sort of Catholic convent, presided over by nuns, who also run it as a young ladies' boarding school. The scholars are not all Catholics, about thirty of them being protestants. A week ago one of them, a Miss Dodds, complained to her parents that the nuns were attempting to proselytize her, and had actually attempted to force her to take part in the prayers of the institution. Miss Dodds also informed the other protestant young ladies, and they resolved among themselves that at the first opportunity which presented itself they would revolt, and if the nuns persisted they would leave the institution in a body. Several of the young ladies' parents were informed of the state of affaire, and they upheld their daughters' determination. The mother superior, or directress of the institution, was informed of the protest, but considered it a tempest in a teapot.

Sunday three of the young ladies were approached by one of the nuns, who has made herself objectionable by her atempta at proselyting, and they indignantly repelled her attempts. This made the nun angry. In the evening she approached Miss Dodds and induced her to go into the nun's room, where, after ten minutes' conversation, the nun, assisted by two others, attempted to force Miss Dodds to her knees and to say the Drayer they had prepared for her, and to the form of which the protestant Jpupils had objected.

Miss Dodds is 16, but rather fragile and weak, so, by a prearrangement, she began to shout for help.

The protestant pupils had been on the qui vive, and were ready for such an emergency. In a body they ran to the room, and, after a short scuffl9 with the nuns, rescued Miss Dodds and took her to their rooms, which they locked. The next morning they began to leave, and up to this morning twenty-five of them had departed from the institution. The nuns refused to say anything about the affair. A sister of Miss Dodds has already been proselytized and become a Catholic, and it was this that developed the trouble.

AHUSHLKNTS.

The third, performance, last night, drew the largest audience thus far. No seats even to be had down stairs early in the evening. The farce was given first and proved to be a lively affair, in which the parts were well taken by Mrs. John Hager and Miss Kathryn Fischer, Messrs. Adolph Gagg, Ira Calder and Howard Kingsbury. The real hard work was done by Mr. John Hager and the real Kingsbury. The entrancing spectacle of the march and tableaux grows upon tbe constant visitor. The stage was thronged, and the glittering train, in which shone so many pretty faces, such handsome costumes, such tasteful and rich colors, glowing, melting and sparkling under the well-managed electric light, was as pleasing to the eye as a tropical picture steeped in sunshine. The minuet, to be repeated Saturday night, was a lovely exhibition of graceful motion and measure. .The Dutch dance, in which rattled so merrily and deftly the clumsy wooden shoes, was more vehemently applauded than before. The Dewdrop dance, by the pretty little girls, was encored. Miss Damond's cachouca, so graceful and artistic, was called for again. The Tyrolean dance, by a dozen airy dancers, whose little slippers touched the floor so softly, in dainty steps, with its bright music, gay dresses and graceful pantomime, is one of the prettiest dances on the list, and a repetition will always be demanded. The Serenade, by Miss Kantmann, was an enjoyable song, sung with sweetest voice by a highly cultivated singer. A hearty encore secured another beautiful song. The Chinese dancers danced themselves out of breath and the audience breathless from laughter. After the carnival the stage was crowded with visitors to the booths and a flourishing business done in mementoes of the great affair. The time to secure your seats will be right off.

The management is gratified because of tbe fact that the receipts up to this time more than cover the heavy expense incurred in the undertaking. All indications are that there will be something like $1,000 left for the charity.

A Horrible Mistake Here.

THE EXPRESS has received the following clipping from a Louisville newspaper:

Mr. A. J. Macdonnell, who so successfully conducted the Klrmess ID this city, writes from Terre Haute that he Is managing a small affair ol a similar character In that city. From the tone of his letter he does not seem to be entirely carried away with the beauty and grace of the Booster young women. He says there are more pretty girls In Louisville to the square Inch thau In Hooslerdom to the square mile. Mr. "Mac" Is a gentleman of excellent taste, and his admiration for Louisville's fair young womanhood Is shared by gallant men the world over.

TRADE AND LABOR NOTES.

Eleven produce dealers, convicted of selling oleomargarine for butter, were fined heavily Wednesday at Pittsburg.

A deal has been closed with Eastern capitalists whereby $1,300,000 is to be invested in coal and iron lands near Chattanooga, Tenn.

The Wheeling, Lake Erie and Pittsburg coal company, have recently gained control of upward of six thousand acres of coal lands near Smithfield, Jefferson county, Ohio, in what is considered the. richest coal field in eastern Ohio. The company expect within eighteen months to open mines which will employ 3,000 men and turn out annually about one million five hundred thousand bushels of coal.

The Pittsburg and Hocking Valley bituminous coal operators met at Cleveland, Wednesday and completed a combination which requires a large guarantee fund and a tonnage tax throughout the navigation season. The organization will fix prices and control all matters pertaining to the lake trade. The business coming under its direction amounts to about 3,000,000 tons. The heavier dealers in soft coal at Chicago have been induced to co-operate with the producers and shippers.

The proposed combination of the Monongahela river coal operators is not likely to be successful. Since the matter was discussed at the meeting of the Coal exchange at Pittsburg, Friday, an agreement was gotten up and circulated among the operators for their Bignatu res. It was supposed that the large operators would all sign. The small operators who would not join the pool, were to be bought out, and, if the combination had been effected, tho entire Monongahela river coal trade would have been under the control of the pool.

AT THE INAUGURATION.

Are you going to the inauguration? Don't laugh at Mr. Harrison if he should waltz.

Take along plenty of money. The hotel-keepers intend to roast you. If you want an office, as far as possible combine business with pleasure.

Carry your own refreshments. It will be hard work to get up to a Washington bar.

Mrs. Cleveland will be there. She is very pretty, but don't stare her out of countenance.

No introductions are required, but not every one should expect to dance with Mrs. Harrison.

You needn't wear a swallow-tail at the ball. A frock coat is permissible. So is a clean Bhirt.

Keep out of the crowd of officeseekerB if you are not one yourself. Otherwise you will be crushed to death.

Because you are not in full dress at the ball don't attempt to repair the deficiency by getting full yourself.

If you are an original Harrison man don't fail to join the pamde. They expect to turn out 40,000 strong.

Don't take the chair on the platform next to President Harrison. It is intended for the retiring president, Mr. Cleveland.

Try to brace up before you get home. Remember that you promised your wife that you wouldn't drink anything.

You will probably not hear a word of Harrison's address, but yell just the same, even if you are squeezed into tbe crowd so tight that you can't get your voice out.

The chief justice of the United States is a little man, but don't throw him out of his seat. He takes an active part in the ceremonies. He is there to administer the oath of office to Mr. Harrison.— [Chicago Herald.
