An Occasion for Tears.
It was the tender, witching twilight hour, just the time when the sordid slds of man Is held abeyance, and the tender Impulses make themselves felt. In a poor, stunted city shade tree which was bravely struggling tor an existence amid the most discouraging surroundings, a mocking bird had alighted and was pouring forth his soul In song Everyone paused to listen, and as the rippling notes welled forth Into the soft summer air faces which but a moment before had been hard and careworn became tender and thoughtful as memories of a long-forgotten childhood, of green flelds and dewy lanes were recalled to mind. "There Is something Inexpressibly touching In that melody," said a portly merchant to his companion, as he himself wiped a suspicious moisture from his eyes. "I do not wonder you are moved to tears," "Dey vas not tears of crlef, mine friend," was the answer. "1 vas yoost veepin' tears of choy to tlnk vat a pudiful musics I vas gettln' mltout hav ing to put up a cent."

Newspaper Koporterg.
The newspaper profession has sometimes been brought into disrepute because of the negligence or dishonesty of reporters and there is no department of journalism in which men of high character and high principle are more required. They are governed by a religious sense of duty. The facts as they are, without color and without prejudice, are the fountain of information and they should be what the editor needs as the basis on which to form his conclusions, and if the reporters of a paper are lacking in principle he is altogether astray, and the publio will be astray also. They should be cultivated, educated and honorable men.—[New York Sun.

FIGHTING FOR MILLIONS.
The great Stewart will oonteat, with its distinguished and costly lawyer®) ita pretentious and wealthy principals, ita hidden millions, and its mystery, will, within two weeks, again be in the oourtfl and in the newspapers, writes a New York correspondent. The rumors of a settlement that have been going the rounds of the press appear to have no foundation in fact, and the chances are against this only mode of taking the estate out of the courts within a number of years. June has been set as the time for the beginning of the summing up in the suit of Miss Rosalie Butler against the will, and for weeks tlfe surrogate's court will resound with the eloquent and ingenious arguments of the leaders of the New York bar. The exact valu9 of the Stewart estate has never been correctly stated. It has been to the interest of Judge Hilton to have it underestimated, and the contestants, Mrs. Sarah N. Smith, Rosalie Butler, and Prescott Hall Butler, have erred just as much on the other side in their published estimates. Twelve millions, say the counsel for Judge Hilton, is the entire v&lud of tbo ©sfc&t©. Pshaw, roply the Butlers, Mrs. Smith and the other members of the Stewart combine, that is only another of Hilton's false and misleading statements. Multiply his figures by the number of fingers on your right hand and you will be nearer the truth the explanation of thiB apparent mystery is this: If the will stands, then the transfer of property to Judge Hilton during
Mrs. Stewart's lifetime will 6tand also if, on the other hand, the allegations pf fraud and undue influence prevail, then these transfers will undoubtedly be set aside as fraudulent also, and Hilton will have to account for some twenty odd millions that now are held by him. There is no question, therefore, as to the amount of money which is in disputeit is the larger and not the smaller sum. Thirty-five millions (to take a low estimate) is a sum worth fighting for, and the services of the big lawyers retained for the parties intef. sted are well paid for. Three years of hard work has already made some slight inroad into the ready money of the various principals, and according to all appearances the contests have only begun. Whether Judge Hilton is or is not upheld, there is every indication that these suits, already the most remarkable and lengthy in the records of the will courts of this country, will be before the public for years to come. It will be a bitter fight, with sensational developments, and the lawyers will have abundant reason to feel happy before they bid a final adieu to the romance and tragedy of the Stewarts.
There are three contests pending at the present moment—that of Rosalie Butler, a niece of Mrs. Stewart, and a legatee that of Prescott Hall Butler, an heir-at-law and next of kin. The suits of the Butlers are both in the surrogate a court, and bear directly upon the question of the validity of the will. That of Mrs. Smith attacks the transfers of the Stewart business and the real estate made Judge Hilton by Mrs. Stewart, and makes unpleasant allegations as to his influence on the old and feeble woman.
u-* v£V( -y
THE TERRE HAUTE
There is
by the Butlers as party defendants in Mrs. Smith's suit. The general term of the supreme court has held that such part of these answers as attacks the validity of Mrs. Stewart's will must be stricken out, and the Butlers have ap pealed from this decision. How long this issue may retard the ultimate set tlement of the estate is problematical The abrupt ending of the suit of Rosalie Butler surprised nearly every one, including Joe Choate. That remaikable and astute lawyer had taken but little part in the case up to that time, having left the court work to a junior partner. Occasionally he would come into the court-room and listen with a sardonic smile upon his mask-like countenance that was almost Mephistophelean in character. He was waiting for two things, and he was disappointed in each. He expected get a chance to cross examine tbs witness introduced by Hilton's side, and also thought he would have an opportunity to fish out testimony from Hilton himself which might be valuable in the other pending cases.
Hilton, however, did not go on the stand, nor did he put on any witnesses except the six subscribing witnesses to the will. Prom the standpoint of the disinterested observers this was a pity, as there would unquestionably have been Borne highly interesting developments under the relentless cross examination of Choate, and some dark colored views of the relations between the wealthy, aristocratic Hilton and the lame old woman, buried in her magnificent Fifth avenue mansion, would have been added to the present collection.
It was with a clear idea of these possibilities that Hilton and his counsel agreed unanimously not to introduce any evidence other than the proof of the will. If it had not been for the highly important discovery by ex-Judge Laslie W. Russell of the combine by the Smiths, the Clinch girls, and the Butlers, this plan oh the part of Hilton could not have been carried out. The agreement of these heirs to stand by each other whether the will stood or fell had been made secretly, and Hilton's counsel had not the slightest suspicion of its existence until Mrs. Prescott Hall Butler went on the witness stand. She had a legacy of $200,000 under the will, and had filed an answer in each of the suits sustainiog it. Her examination had been almost concluded when it struck Judge Russell that she would never voluntarily have given her testimony, which was damaging to Hilton and the will, unless she was indemnified against possible loss by the breaking of the will.
In the mind of Hilton's counsel, at least, this proved the crisis of the caBe. Some of the contestant's most important witnesses were ruled out as interested parties, and the standing of the contestant herself was altered. While, however, Hilton may congratulate himself upon this advantage, the agreement also makes possible a result less favorable to him. In the first place, it nulifiss that clause of the will which declares that any legatee who contests the will shall thereby forfeit his or her legacy. All the legatees but the Cathedral, which means Judge Hilton, and Charles J. Clinch, Mrs. Stewart's favorite nephew, being included in the agreement, such shares as the contestants might lose will be made good out of the larger shares that will fall to their copartners in the agreement
If, on the other hand, the will is broken, Judge Hilton will probably be completely ruined. He will not only have to surrender his prospective Bhare in the estate, but will have, eventually, to make restitution for the properties which, the contestants allege, he cajoled
the confiding Mim. Stewart out of. Aa he would have to pay interest since the time the properties came into hia possession, all his private fortune would be •wept away, and he would be left in debt to a large extent beeidea.
Up to the present time there are 18,OOOfolion of testimony in the case of Rosalie Butler against the will. Panted it will make ten volumes of 700-pages each. There never has been a will contest in this country in which the evidence was so voluminous, and yet the proponents introduced only six witnesses, who all testified briefly to one fact. Although Judge Hilton's counsel profess a desire to have the cases disposed of speedily—that is, within three or tour years—yet the indications are that it will pass into legal history as another interminable case, with a goodly share of the property in the hands of the lawyers. Mors delicate legal questions have already arisen tiian in any will case ever before the courts o. this country. Whether the true story of the causes that led lonely, innocent Mrs. Stewart to make her peculiar testament will ever be divulged ia another question which time alone can answer.
SIMEON IX CHARGE AGAIX.
He Comes Home from Prison and Resumes Bnsineu at the Old Stand#. The Hon. Simeon Coy, the statesman from the Eighteenth ward, is with his brethren once more, says the Indianapolis News of last evening. A News reporter, who met the train bearing the distinguished "fellow citizen of the president" (as Doc Harrison called him) at Westfield found him chatting with Mr. Eden, his faithful henchman, and some friends who accompanied him.
The year and seventeen days of seclusion and rest have agreed with Mr. Coy, and he returns to his business to, as he puts it, "begin just where he left off.
After congratulating him on his release and return, the question was asked: "Do you expect to go into politics again? "Well, I should say so. I have taken all the Indianapolis papers, have kept posted through them and through m^ friends right along and probably know more now about city affairs than many of the people here. Scarcely a day passed in my absence that I have not had one or more visitors from Indianapolis, and it really doesn't seem as though I have been away any length of time at all." 2 "Do I expect to run for council again? Well, nobody has heard me say anything about that, and it would be a little previous for me to talk now, but you can make a note of one thing after I had been indicted and tried once I waa^lected by the largest majority the ward ever gave anj body. The campaign will open up in about sixty days and then I will be in shape to talk more."
When asked whether he attached any political significance to his pardon, and whether it was in any sense a vindication, he said: "No, there was no question of whether ray conviction and sentence was right. The pardon was granted through the influence of Mr. New, Mr. Henderson and some others who had been interested through my friends. You see the pen alty of $1,000 was entirely beyond me, could just as well have paid a million as a thousand, and as the sentence did not contemplate a longer imprisonment than I have already suffered, the president was induced to pardon me."
When the train pulled intothe Massa chusetts avenue station a large crowd u„,i oipuwiy BHHflmbled to greet him. As to snake hands auu uuiigiauiimfa -mid.

Evansville Journal. EvansviUe now has eight railroads, besides the Belt connecting all these around the oity and the transfer track through the city. The Evansville & Terre Haute runs northward the Evansville & Indianapolis northwestward the Air-line and Newburg Motor, eastward the Louisville & Nashville, southward the Ohio Valley, south west ward the St. Louis division of the Louisville & Nashville, westward, the Peoria, Decatur & Evansville, northwestward the Evansville & Richmond, a prolongation of the Evansville & Indianapolis, will soon be completed to the metropolis of eastern Indiana. This leaves only one direction where there is no railroad—southeast—and it is confidentially expected that this want will be supplied within two or thrae years by the construction of a great line to Bowling Green and Chattanooga.

The Rains and the Melon Crop. The recent cold rains have virtually and probably completely destroyed the melon crop in this vicinity. The rain was very cold and when the sun shone upon the young and growibg melons it had the same effect that a frost would have had, and the melon plants were cooked. One firm of melon growers known as the "Michigan men," south of the city, had grown melon plants in hot houses and had planted more than twenty acres with these plants. The crop was totally de strayed. In view of the fact that melon growing is a leading industry in this vicinity the effect is disastrous, and it is now so late the disaster will be the more a misfortune. Notorious damage to other growing crops is reported.
