THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.
The Republicans have nominated it creditable city ticket.—fGsy.elte.
Retrenchment ie a bigger thing than the spelling of the name of a man whose identity and character are beyond question.
Commencing with Frank Schmidt, the thor-ough-going, successful business man whom the Democrats have nominated for mayor, Ac.—f»azette.
Who is this Prank Schmidt? Is it the P. Smith who was a Greenback-Labor councilman a few years ago, or the Ferdinand Friederich Schmidt previously a member of the Republican party in this city?
Queer, wasn't It, that with all their ardent zeal to punish election crooks, Dls rlct Attorney Claynpol and his nimble deputy happened to overlook the case of Hiram Miller and others, who voted tue Marlon county ^paupers and Idiots! An explanation from these eminent reformers might be 1 nterestlng. —I Indianapolis Journal.
That they might not "happen to overlook" the case of Andy Grimee, defeated candidate for senator from this connty, the unchallenged sworn testimony that he paid $50 to one block of five voters was sent to the United States district attorney's office, but no efiort was made to punish the sanctimonious election crook.
The Gazette is favoring the people with what it considers the "high plane'' of a political campaign. It has nothing to say as to the "plane" of its party representation in the city government, the leader being the manager of a policy shop, but pretends to discover that the Republican candidate for city treasurer has changed his name. To do this it shows that his father and himself have, for a long time, been citizens here, have paid taxes and in every respect shown themselves worthy of trust and contidence, albeit by such blunders as frequently occur the name has at times been spelled differently, never, however, through any bad motive. It is a German name, such as maybe misunderstood and spelled in English with different letters than in the German, just as it happened that Mr. Schmidt, the Democratic candidate for mayor, at one time was on record in the oity council as Smith. Mr. Danaldson became Donaldson in a special dispatch sent to a newspaper in another city from the Gazette, as our own "Knap" McCavthy became "Knop" MoCarthy a few days ago and as Mr. D. G.

How She Told It.
Mrs. Jason came home the other evening with her face "wreathed In smiles." as the novelists have It. "Well, what are you grinning at?" was the cordial greeting of her lord and master. "I heard something funny down town," she answared. "Well what was It?" "Oh. nothing much, 1 happened to meet little Johnny Flgg, who used to keep the apple stand across the way you know, and he's got abetter one down town now. I asked him how he was getting along and he says to me, 'Oh. I'm still keeping a stand you see.' I thought It was the cutest thing I had heard for a good while."
Oh you did, did you? Maria, If I ever see where the laugh comes in, I'll try and smile, even If 1 have to get up In the middle of the night to do so." was his crushing reply, to which she deigned no answer.
About 2 o'clock In the morning Mr. Jason was awakened from a dream of being stabbed by a masked assassin to And his wife energetically nudging him below the ilfth rib. "Oh Jehlel. I had that wrong." she twittered, In a tone of one who has made a great discovery. "Johnny said his business was at a stand still. You see the point now, don't you?" "Yes, I reckon so." said the old man In no gracious tones, "and if I feel the point of your inferual elbow Jabbing me In the ribs any more to-night I'll go to sleep In the barn. Do you hear
And he dldn laugh either as he promised to was her reflection as she setUed down to step again with the sweet consciousness of dutr performed.
STANLEY'S LOVE STOHY
A little clump of club men eat over a late supper in Delmonico'a cafe the other night, and between the grilled marrow bones and bass told odd bits of their variegated experiences, says the New York Sun. They are all well-known men, and have never been particularly bothered with the business grind of life. Most of them are well on toward 50, but if all the experiences and yarns related at the table that night could be accepted literally, they had jammed 100 very rapid years into their lives. Suddenly one of the group raised his hat from his forehead, and turning down the leather band inside he pulled a clipping from a newspaper. "Let me read you this, gentlemen, will you?" he said very pleasantly. "It isn't long and it tells a volume. It is a complete romance in itself." Then he read in a well modulated voice Ihic:
When Stanley was In this country, goon alter bis discovery of Livingstone, he was full-cheeked, row, and tils hair was dark and handsome. When next he came, after his memorable trip through the heart of the Bark Continent, the rudy hue or his face was gone and his beautiful hair was nearly white. But the brightness of his eyes was not dlmned, and the alert and sinewy limbs were as agile as of old. He has born prlvltatlons and great hardships well, but they have left their mark on his face. His countenance and head are old long before their time.
The club man went on to relate to his attentive listeners what he said was the true meaning of the newspaper clipping he had just read. He prefaced his remarks by stating that the words be had just read were from Noah Brooks' artie'e in the February St. Nicholas, entitled "The White Pasha." He said he had carried tha newspaper clipping in his hat from the day it was published, because it recalled to him an experience in Henry M. Stanley's life which very .few outside of his intimate circle of friends knew. He added that a very charming American lady would fully appreciate everything that he was about to tell. At one time she was a belle, and was known in New York and Chicago society. She was a most lovable woman, and very attractive. She is now a young matron, with little sprigs of innocence and mischievousness clustered about her.
One thing was certain, the club man declared, Henry M. Stanley had not passed a single day in the last fifteen years without thinking of her. In the dark and unfathomable jungles of Africa her face had been with him. On the desert, with the fierce white heat beating upon him, he had had memories of her. He is a bachelor, 49 years old, and he will never marry. The young matron now lives in Chicago, and her brother is seen on Broadway on any bright afternoon.
The white hair and the pallid cheek that Noah Brooks speaks of, so the story teller asserted, were not altogether due to Stanley's privations on the Congo. It was about 1875 that Mr. Stanley came to this country after his discovery of Livingstone. Four years before he bad Btarted out to find the lost explorer. Not a word had been heard from Living stone in nearly two years. There had been rumors that he had been killed by hostile savages, and his friends in England were anxious to learn the fate of the man who had devoted nearly thirty years of his life to unravelling the mysteries of the interior of Africa. Stanley was selected by James Gordon Bennett to take an expedition into Africa and learn the fate of Livingstone.He was then 30 years old and full of pluck and determination. He had been in the Confederate army, and when taken prisoner by the United States troops he volunteered as a seaman in the Federal navy. He was spoken of at the time as brave, modest and generous, bat with a roving disposition, and above all a determination to make his mark in the world. Only Stanley himself can tell of the destitution and the hardships that he experienced in his search for Livingstone. But on that memorable day in November, 1871, when at Ujiji, on the shore of Lake Tanganyika, he found the great Scotchman, and non chalantly lifting his cap to him, said: "Dr. Livingstone, I presume," he became equally famous with the doctor, aid knew that his name would go down through centuries. On his return to England the fetes and the banquets given in his honor and the glorification of his name were only interrupted by the •death in Africa and the burial in Westminster Abbey of Dr. Livingstone. Stanley was a pall bearer at the funeral of the great explorer. It was said at the time that the mantle of the dead man had fallen upon the young and ambitious Stanley. He was on the top rung of the ladder of fame, but his closest friends at the time have since frequently remarked that Stanley's marked characteristic was a cynicism that was almost unbearable and certainly unaccountable.
He was 32 years old. The queen had presented him with diamonds, and he had been singularly honored by statesman aod the great men of the Royal geographical society. His name was known all over the civilized world, and distinction and renown awaited him in New York when he arrived here a few months later.
Stanley hadn't been in New York very long before his club friends remarkea' that he was partial in his visits to a certain mansion on Fifth aven'is. He had been well received in New York society, and although he was not particularly was a handsome youjg fellow, and the young ladies of Newf York society found

dernees with which Henry M. Stanley and the girl he loved parted," continued the club man. "There were tears on her part and tender, comforting words for his share of that trying experience. They were to write by every steamer, and for two years the happiest and tenderest correspondence passed between the yonng lovers."
Late in November, 1874, Stanley arrived at Zanzibar and begah the arrangements for his trip inland. The little lady in the Fifth avenae mansion anxiously read the dispatches about her lover, and was" cheered by some of the heaviest letters which ever came through the New York postoffioe. She was delighted beyond expression wheo the cable announced that Stanley bad launched the little boat in which he circumnavigated Nyanza lake, and had named it the Lady Alice. That was her christian name.
With a lover's eagerness he wrote to the fair one what he had done, and his last letter before he left civilization told her to be of good cheer. He said that he didn't expect that hia task would be difficult, and he spoke of the time when his journey would be ended and he would return to her rich and with his dayB&s an explorer ended forever.
He' was on the Congo river for nine months, and reached the Atlantic coast in 1878 and eagerly glanoed over the pile of letters awaiting him. There were a dozen or more in the handwriting of his betrothed running up to November, 1876. At that time he had reached Nyangwa, the furtherst northern point attained by Livingstone or Cameron. The letters ceased in that month. Down deeper'in the pile was a letter from a New York club man which told Stanley that his betrothed had been married early in 1877 to a gentleman from Michigan.
The highest honors were showered upon Stanley, but he grew listless, and apparently without ambition. His friends say he wis stunned at the shock he had received. He roamed about London, and his hair daily grew whiter and whiter and his face more pallid. He went back to Africa and spent five years there, and first appeared in New York again in 1886. He only remained here a few weeks, and then started on his present journey.

Centenary Sunday School.
On account of the rapid growth of the vegetation and early season, the officers and teachers of Centenary Sunday school have decided to hold their annual picnic on the 18th of this month, one week from next Saturday. Although the place has not fully been decided upon, yet the very enjoyable times always had at Crawfordsville heretofore, incline a majority in favor of tbat charming little place. The very beautiful grounds, abundance of water and nearness of shelter, as well as the great attraction of Wabash college with its famous library,to students and others —make this place one of the most desirable in the state for a day's outmg. The teachers will probably decide upon the place at to-day's session, and the announcement will be made later. In accordance with the custom of many schools at this season, Centenary will distribute flower seeds to-day to all scholars who will promise to plant and carefully cultivate them. About the first of September an exhibition of the flowers will be given, showiDg the results of the culture. It is desired that all members of the school who wish to take part in the flower culture be on hand this afternoon. The members of the class of Chinamen are always prompt and attentive, and are making rapid progress. The school is delightful in its sessions and influence, and is doing much good. Strangers are cordially welcomed, and any one not a member of other schools will be welcome.

THE TERRE HAUTE MORNING, MAY 5. 1889.
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVETrlON
Jettcrday'i 8«mI«b
MmUHighly
Interaat-
li( by the Papers and Thalr DiacuMloa. Yesterday's sessions of the Sunday school convention were quite interesting and in the afternoon and evening were very well attended. At the morning session Prof. M. Seiler addressed the meeting on "This Teaoher Teaching," giving many practical and valuable suggestions as to the manner of teaching the lesBon. The teacher should have a definite plan-for the presentation of each lesson. He would first read the lesson with the class, and try to fix in their minds the facts of the lesson. He would then endeavor to explain and make clear to the class all matters that seem difficult to them, that is, try to get the real meaning of the lesson before the class. .If there is figurative language, he would have it explained. He would then try to impress on the .class the central thoughts of the lesson. He would group the secondary thoughts around the leading idea. He would close every lesson with an application that will fit the circumstances of the individuals of the class.
Secretary I..H. C. Royee made his report, showing eighty-one Sunday schools in the county, mainly in a very prosperous condition that several new schools, not revived ones, have been organized this spring that there is promise of the organization of several new schools in the near future that there are now at least twelve or fifteen more Sunday schools in the county than existed fJmrtfc the lsst year that more Sunday echoes lived through the winter than ever'before, and that very many more Sunday schools have taken the required collection—nearly twice as many as heretofore. The township secretaries are more earnestly engaged in the work, and the townships are better organized than heretofore. He also reported six very well attended and interesting township conventions held during the past year.
The afternoon session opened at 2 o'clock with devotional exercises, conducted by Mrs. Watson. The first address of the session wss on "The Social Teacher in Successful Teaching," by Professor J. Mason Duncan, president of Coates college. The social element is a necessity, because without it, the teacher does not know with whom he is dealing. Visit the homes of the pupils. Know their home life, their surroundings. Then it is a good thing to invite them to the home of the teacher. By these means he gets near their hearts, he wins their confidence and makes them ready to. accept the truth at his hands.
The Rev. J. E. Gilbert, D. D., spoke on "The Children Outside the Sunday Schools." There are in Indiana 500,000 children outside the Sunday schools, a little less than tbat number in them. This indicates that the church is not fully impressed with its responsibility. In a short time these young people will have grown beyond the reach of the churches. In twenty-four cities in Indiana visited by him since last November, it was found that the number in the Sunday schools was about one-third of the total number of children of school age in those cities. Without concert of action or co-operation among the churches, though each may be doing earnest work, there are many disadvantages. If visiting from heuse to house is done, it is very likely that much double work will be done. Some people will be visited several times, others will be omitted entirely. Some quarters of the city will be occupied by the workers of two or three churches*- while others are left wholly without attention or work. He would recommend a co-operative canvass of the city. The appointment of visiting committee! of members of different churches, who shall make a thorough canvass of all the houses in the city to ascertain the religious Btatus of all the people whether church members, and, if so, what church whether attendants at church, whether any church preference, whether children go to Sunday school, which committees should make report of all facts so learned. The information thus obtained would be communicated to the pastors and superintendents of the churches and schools for which such people had expressed a preference. Can this be done? Yes, it is being done in a large number of towns and cities of Indiana. Tnis plan is doing a grand work in the city of Richmond, in which over twelve thousand calls have been made by nearly-one hundred visitors.
The Rev. J. E. Gilbert addressed the convention at some length in the evening, on the subject: "The Co-operation of the Churches." Dr.-Gilbert considers the co-operation of all denominations as absolutely necessary to the welfare of the church. Without* co-operating, he thought all churches would develop that degree of sectionalism Mhich would make their successful existence a question of great doubt. In support of these views Dr. Gilbert gave a literal number of illustrations drawn from his long experience in traveling apong the churches in this and other state).
The convention adjourned last evening, but Dr. Gilbert wil remain ever today, and will occupy Centenary pulpit to night, lecturing on Ifhe Problem of the Cities."

Sandford's Radical Cure For Catarrh,
Cure Begins from First Application, and is Rapi4, Radical and ..
Permanent.
"it Is the mucous membrane, that wonderful semi-fluid envelope surrounding the delicate tissues of the air and food passages, that Catarrh makes Its stronghold. Once established, it eats Into the very vitals, and renders life but alongdrawn breath of misery and disease, dulling the sense of hearing, trammelling the power of speech, destroying the faculty of smell, tainting the breath, and killing th» refined pleasures of tasta Insidiously, by creenlng on from a simple cold in the head, it assaults the membranous lining and envelops the bones, eating through the delicate coats and causing Inflammation, sloughing and other dangerous symptoms. Nothing short of total eradication will secure health to the patient, and all alleviates are simply procrastinated sufferings. Sanford's Radical Cure, by Inhalation and by Internal administration, rarely falls even when the disease has made frightful Inroads on delicate constitutions, hearing, smell and taste have been recovered, and the disease thoroughly driven out.
