The city issues in Terre Haute may be mixed in other cities but they are all of them all right for Terre Haute.

The Centenary Church of this city has undertaken to educate some of the 'A' Chinamen here, and perhaps christian ize them—but will they succeed in mak ing the living of a christian American ki equal to the cheap mode of the China men? After all there is a great deal of 1. occasion for missionary work among even the heathen of Terre Haute.

The senators are beginning to appre ciate the distinction between official duty and the so-called personal prerogatives of the members of the American house of lords. Some light has broken into that fog bank of plutocracy by means of the rejection of Mr. Halstead. While we deeply regret the troubles in the party cnused by Mr. Halstead and this divis ion of the party on an important nomi nation by the new president, it may be that the outrage will serve as an incentive for better things. Indeed, there are indications already of a storm of digaation that will break down the bar rier of secresy which has so long protected the senatorial conspirators.

And every day the press is taking more and more liberty in its discussion of the outrage perpetrated by the senate in rejecting the nomination of Halstead There is no occasion for alarm that the liberty of the press will be abridged the United States, not in this century all events, and if the intelligence of the people increases as it has in the past, there is no danger in the next century, The press, some years ago, may have been a dangerous element, but nowadays the press that survives merely reflects the public will it lives off the public, and as Mr. Halstead said to the Wiscon sin editors recently, the public use it a mirror. If the mirror doesn't give satisfaction it is cast aside and another provided. The liberty of the press

CAPTAIN KIDD.

My name to Captain Kidd Aa I sailed, as I sailed. _[OMSonfr

In the annals of piracy few have achieved greater celebrity than William Kidd but the true history of his career affords an instance of the caprice which presides over the favors of fame or notoriety. Although in the popular imagination he stands for thievery type of the bold buccaneer, whilawiis name calls up visions of bloody sea-fights and heaps of hidden treasure, in truth he was but an ordinary scoundrel,-his career was

His association with some of the greatest men of his age, both in England and America, has raised him to bad eminence to which his demerits hardly entitle him. He owee his place in history rather to party strife than to the enormity of his crimes. Kidd was bom in 1650, and early betook himself to a seafaring life in the American

rity and resolution man. Livingston now saw an opportunity, at once, of ingratiating himself with the new governor and turning an honest penny. He accordingly introduced Kidd to the earl, recommending him as a man of 'jharaclie te(r6B6hi4a~ tui.iiiH'guuu utmatiui'.* that Kidd was acquainted with the prin cipal rovers of the Western seae, their places of rendezvouz, the course of their voyages, etc., and was therefore a most fitting person to put upon their pursuit.

Livingston further avouched his confidence in Kidd's integritjfrby going on his bond for the faithful execution of such commission as might be intrusted to him. Bellomont fell in with Livingston's suggestions, and accordingly applied to the admiralty for a ship and commission for Kidd. As, owing to the necessities of the war, it was impossible to obtain a ship, it was determined to form company to fit out a suitable vessel. The company did not lack distinguished adventurers. It was composed of Somers, lord chancellor Lord Oxford, president of the board of admiralty the duke of Shrewsbury, secretary the earl of Rum ney, Sir William Harrison, Bellomont, and Livingston. The king engaged to advance one-half of the expenses, and reserved to himself one-tenth of the profits, but he never paid the money. The Adventure Galley was fitted out at the cost of £6,000, and two commissions were given to Kidd—one to make war on the French and the other to apprehend Thomas Too, William Maze, John Ireland, and Thomas Wake, and all other pirates,, with their ships and goods. A grant under the great seal was also executed, giving all such goods and ships aB might be captured to the owners of the Adventure Galley. Kidd set sail from Plymouth in April, 1695, and nothing was heard from him until, in 1698, the East India company laid a complaint that he had turned pirate and had seized a ship, the Quedah Merchant. Letters were then sent to America ordering the arrest of Kidd. Oa leaving Plymouth the honest oaptain had sailed for New York, and on the way had taken a French prize. From New York he sailed to the East ladies, where, in 1698, he took a ship of 150 tona and carried her to Madagascar.

After about five weeks he captured a vessel of 400 tons—the Quedah Mer chant. He then burnt the Adventure Galley, and sailed in the Quedah Mer chant to the West Indies. There he purchased a sloop, and, leaving the Quedah Merchant in charge of one Bolton, he sailed with a portion of his spoils, to the value of f10,000, to Boston. It was on this last voyage that he was said to have buried his treasure, either on Long Island or on the Hudson. On his arrival at Boston the earl of Bellomont parleyed with Kidd for some days in order to ascertain where he had left the Quedah Merchant. Kidd, in the meantime promised to make his innocence clear, but his evasive answers, his attempts to dispose of his own cargo and to bribe officials, and, above all, Livingston's behavior, who peremptorily demanded the return of his bond for Kidd's good behavior, threatening that unless this were done Kidd would never bring in

grounds to believe tkat no time was to be lost: therefore he arrested Kidd and bis crew and held them for piracy, and once wrote to England for orders in regard to the pirates and their booty. In .response the Rochester was sent out to bring the prisoners home, but after some days was compelled to put back by stress of weather. In the meantime in England the East India company were making bitter complaints. They averred that Bellomont's appointment was made to afford protection to the pirates. That the sending of the Rochester was a mere pretense, and the chief members of the ministry were in connivance with Kidd. The matter waq takes up in parliament,

A NEW BETTING DEVICE.

The Paris Mutual Machine and the Bookmakers to Suffer.

According to the New York Tribune a device has been patented that is likely to do away with the French mutual machines now in use on race tr^ks, and which may even prove a formidable op ponent to bookmaking.

Each machine has three dials, one above the other, the top one for units, the middle one for hundreds and the bottom one for thousands. Hands like those of a clock point to the number of tickets sold. The lower hand points to 1,000, the next to 300 and the third to 75, indicating the sale of 1,375 tickets on the horse represented by that particular machine—for each horse has a machino to himself, his name and number in letters.

The machines are constructed for fours or multiples of fours, this arrangement suiting the electric device better than any other. If eight are used for a race in which there are twenty horses, thirteen animals must go in the field, leaving seven machines for the most dangerous seven starters. A larger central machine, actuated by the others on either side of it, registers the grand total of all sales. A glance at the Hanover machine shows a sale of 500 tickets on that horse a glance nt tbe grandtotal machine shows a sale of 2,000 on the field odds, three to one against the chestnut son of Hindoo. On The Bard 1,000 tickets have been sold bettiog even. Sales on Terra Cotta, 400 odds, four to one against the Western flyer Elkwood, fifty tickete betting about forty to one against the winner of last year's classic. (That's about the way it may look on suburban day—less the percentage captured by the owners of the machines.)

AN INNOCENT PRISONER.

Pardon

a Man Who Is Serving a Sen-

tence for a Crime He Didn't Commit. Governor Hovey has pardoned Marion A. .Hardy, an Evansville man who is serving a seven-year's sentence in the Jeffersonville prison for highway rob bery, says the Indianapolis News. In looking over the petitions for pardon, left on file by Governor Gray, the papers in Hardy's case were found a few days ago by Private Secretary Roberts, and as they showed conclusively that an innocent man was being punished, the attention of Governor Hovey was called to the caee at once. Hardy was a railroad man who frequently visited saloons. While drinking he became acquainted with a stranger giving the name of Martin Barnett. They took many drinks together and started down one of the principal streets of Evansville at about nine o'clock at night. Hardy became sick from the effects of his excessive drinking, and sat down on the sidewalk where he fell asleep. While he was ip this condition Barnett robbed a passing citizen. The two men were arrested. Barnett pleaded guilty and implicated Hardy, who declared he was innocent, but was advised by a lawyer to plead guilty, as he was certain to be convicted on Barnett's testimony. He obeyed the advice, supposing that he would receive alight sentence. Since his imprisonment, Barnett has made two affidavits declaring that Hardy was so drunk that he could not

robbery was committed, and that he knew nothing about the crime. The judge before whom the case was tried and the prosecutor, recommended the pardon, stating that they are firmly convinced that Hardy has been wrongfully punished.

Trying to Locate Responsibility. A committee representing the Clay county miners has been making an investigation relative to the omission of the enacting clause from the coal weighing bill. The governor stated that it was his opinion that the bill was correctly enrolled whtu presented to him for his signature, but afterward the sheet without the enacting clause was substituted for the copy that had been submitted to him. The committee asked Secretary Griffin if he couldn't insert the enacting clause between brackets in printing the act. He believed that the law made it plain that he had no authority to do such a thing. The committee will make a very full report to the miners. Tbe members of the committee are Senator Byrd, Representatives Carroll and Anderson, Thomas McQuade, John Morgan and Lindsey Morton.— [Indianapolis News.
