The oil from the well in a natural way overflowed to keep company with the unnatural overflow of the vapor elements from above.

We hope that our agricultural friends below town, in the Wabash valley, are fully satisfied that we have oil in Terre Haute even though an Indianapolis newspaper insists that there is water in our oil. Our Wabash valley friends need only to look at the surfaoe of the swelling tide to discover that oil and water will not mix. Residents twelve miles down the river droVe to the city yesterday afternoon to learn the cause of the flow of oil on top of the water.

COMPOUNDING

A

FELONY.

It seems that there has been another instance of liberation of a criminal by :'-y compounding a felony. There seemed to be a clear case of hotel sneak thieving. The victims were strangers. They wanted their lose made good. Like the bunco and bank thieves the thief in this instance had the money and the friends to reimburse the losers and the ends of justice are defeated.

In Ohio a few days ago they had a judge and grand jury which would not tolerate this sort of thing. The victim of a bunco swindle who lost $3,000 was made good for his loss. He was a politician and a wealthy man of influence, yet he ran away to Kentutu., comply with his bargain with the men wu. -obbed him, thafrhe would not prosecute them his money were returned. Public sentimeu. ^bjected The prosecuting witness became a

L^.J

tive from justice, and the governor of Ohio sent a requisition for him. He was brought before the grand jury, and the men who swindled him are likely to go -r—-to the penitentiary.

The law is above all these subterfuges. There is no question as to the event in to suffer, "though a dozen victims who

connive at crime are easily bought off. Terre Haute can never expect to rid itself of the thieves and blacklegs so long as this connivance at petit and grand larceny oontinuea. c. o. JD.

A Reformation.

Deacon Podsnap—Well, I threw Hooligan out ol my building to-day. Tlie Rev. Wllgus—I am glad to hear it, brother. I cannot think that the rent lor such a disreputable dive—if I may uie the expression—could be received conscientiously by a christian.

Deacon Podsnap—I wasn't receiving any rent. He owes me for three months.

Our Involved ISnKlisli.

Wlckwlre—I wish to goodness somebody would invent away to distinguish between a type-writing machine and the girl who runs it.

Yabsley—I should think a man of ordinary sense would have no trouble In doing so. Wlckwlre—Oh, you idiot, I mean In writing. I received a bill stating that I was Indebted to Blank & Co. lor "ribbon for typewriter," and my wife got hold of It and raised a dickens of a row for ubout an hour before 6he'd let me explain.

O. H.

Very naturally, the majority of the Mormon converts come from England—from the mother country, so to speak.

It would be well for some of our base ball teams to imitate the example of the modest, unassuming hen, who never scores a goose-egg. if all the telephone wires In this country were stretched In a continuous line they would reach seven times around the earth and some day the telephone company will tlx them that way with a convenient handle for carrying attached.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

Tlie Irish Funds.

To the Editor of the Express: SIR: In un editorial In last (Saturdays) night's Gazette, 1 lliul the following sentence In an article on tlie Cronln murder: "It IIOB been shown that Alexander Sullivan, orator and agitator ot the Blaine school of politics, used the tunds of the Clan-na-Gael, collected from everybody to help Ireland, in the wildest sort ot stock gambling."

This Is not a fact. The money controlled by the onicers «if the Clan-na-Uael Is contributed by the members of the organization, or raised by Sunday picnics, evening entertainments, etc. The question oi the benefit Ireland Is to derive from one or the other Is scarcely, if ever, mentioned in. auy of the announcements. My object in writing this letter Is to show that all of the money contributed by Americans—native and foreign born—has gone for the furtherance of the object for which it was contributed. It has gone into the hands of Father O Reilly. of Detroit, trersurer ol the Irish national league, in America, and every dollar has been accounted for, as will be shown by receipts published in the city press of Detroit. Indicating that the money has been delivered Into the hands of the treasurer of the Irish parliamentary party. This Is all that the American people want to knowthat their generous contributions have not been misappropriated. They are not concerned In any particular In the dollars and cents feature of the Cronln murder conspiracy.

EXCUfiSION ECHOES.

Comments of the Newspapers in the Valley on the Bis Event. Rockville Eagle: A representative of the Eagle accepted the invitation extended by THK TKRRK HAUTE EXPRESS on the occasion of the oil excursion Here's to the health of THE EXPRESS.

Carlisle Argus: We received a neatly printed Invitation to dine with the generous editor of THE TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS to-day, but owing to rush of work we cannot accept the kind Invitation.

Mattoon Journal: All of Mattoon's doubters should go over and come back enthused, that they may take hold of the work of drilling for gas and oil at home with an earnestness to ensure success.

Kansas Herald: We regret being unable to be at Terre Haute, and accept the kindly invitation of THE EXPRESS to be Its guest on the occasion of the oil excursion to that city last Thursday. Nevertheless, the cordial hospitality of THE EXPRESS IS fully appreciated.

Rockville Tribune: We retnrn thanks to the TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS for an Invitation to lunch at that office to-day. That paper in undertaking to feed all the country editors within reach of its Invitations, runs a great risk of bankruptcy. It's rather a reckless way of showing prosperity.

Crawfordsville Review: That kindness shown by THE TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS IN extending invitations to the press to be their guest Thursday, shows the management of that paper not only able to edit one of the best papers In the state but courteous and gentlemanly to their fellow-men.

Kansas Herald: Many persons who were never known to have anything to do with Intoxicating liquors returned home from Terre Haute Thursday night, on tlie excursion, with bottles In their pockets. These bottles contained Intoxicating liquids at least, the liquids that made up their contents is lust now very "intoxicating" to Terre Haute people.

Brazil Mlnfr: Our moneyed men should go on the excursion to Terre Haute Thursday.. Not to take advantage of the low rate offered bj^ne Van, but to gain knowledge by personal Investigation. We are almost con ildent that It only needs a little Insight Into the Terre Haute product to awaken our citizens to the Importance of sinking one or more wells at this place. 6o to Terre Haute next Thursday, and see for yourselves.

WlUiamsport Republican: We acknowledge the receipt of a kind invitation from the DAILY AXPRESS, of Terre Haute, Ind., to be Its guest on the occasion of the oil excursion to that city Co-day. Terre Haute Is the Prairie City of the great Hoosler state, and Is one of the most beautiful cities of the West, and now that dame fortune has slven her oil, her future prosperity Is all but assured. She to-day stands In the direct line of promotion and advancement to the front ranks of the loading cUles of the West.

Rockville Republican: The Republican acknowledges the receipt of an Invitation from the THE TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS to be its guest to-morrow, on the occasion of the great oil excursion to that city. Thanks, and our most distinguished consideration. In this connection allow us to remark that THE EXPRESS, as the leading paper in the Wabash valley. Is uniformly kind and courteous in Its treatment of humbler papers and that as a newspaper it ranks with the best In the state.

Paris Beacon: We acknowledge with thanks the invitation to be the guest ot the TKRRK HAUTE EXPRESS on the occasion of the oil well excursion to Terre Haute, and regret our inability to attend and partake of the free lunch. It is only on rare occasions that a country editor goes back on an invitation to eat, but that rare occasion came yesterday—In the form of a 20 cent circus, to which we had oompllmentariea. We hope our inability to visit Terre Haute this time will not make THE EXPRESS forget us at any future time when it gives a free lunch for newspaper men.

Toledo (111.) Express: We acknowledge invitation of THE TEBBE HAUTE DAILT KXPBESS to be Its guest on the occasion of the "Oil excursion to Terre Baute, Thursday, June 6th," (to-day). Nothing would afford us more pleasure than a trip to the metropolis of the Wabash valley on such an occasion, bat we are compelled to forego the pleasures of viewing the flow of the lubricating stream, and lunching with the enterprising EXPBBS, on [the eople flow in, until Terre Haute will become the rival of

account of Ihe press ot business. But we hope that oil will continue to flow out, and the people

Chicago In wealth, population and trade. Sullivan Democrat: Several car loads of people went from 8univan to Terre Haute on the excursion yesterday. The probabilities are that many more went from Shelburn and Farmersburg. We do not suppoee there will be much satisfaction to them In seeing the derricks and the puffing steam driving the drills through the subterranean rocks, but these things will Impress the visitor with the fact that they are

NeogaNews: Last Thursday was agaladay fOT the above city. The citizens all wore thf*r best elothes, and were on their good behavior. Bsmrslons were run there In the morning by each of the many roads centering there and thus made a large crowd of visitors to see and rejoice with the good people of that dty In their good fortune In searing a good oil well.

Unless the Standard oil company buys up the stock, they win soon have refineries in that city.

i!v "SHE'd OIL BIGHT."-H SS At Least That is What a Correspondent

Says of Terre 'Haute.

The following is from a Terre Haute letter to the Columbus (Ind.) Republican: "What's the matter with Terre Haute?" "She's oil right!" Well, we should smile, if a jammed town, fine weather, good racing, railroad excursions, scores of derricks, plenty of beer and great gobs of oil make a town "oil right." The raoes are giving the city a tremendous ceowd, but the oil floats to the top. Even the business houses are using vanous oil devices as means of attracting advertising. I noticed one enterprising firm that has a miniature derrick, engine and drill in full operation in its riiow window. The drill had an energetic motion and the "signs for a "gusher" were flattering. Then the oil men have a scheme, for supplying

everybody with a "sample bottle" and of course "everybody takes it." Two or three placee it is "on tap" in this manner. Of course all, this is having its

effect,

TO SUCCEED LEO XIII.

It is Not' Likely That an American Will be Chosen. NEW YORK,

June

8.—The

Herald's

Baltimore special says: In Catholic circles here, especially among the clergy, little importance is attached to the oft repeated statement that Cardinal Gibbons would probably succeed Pope Leo XIII., as the head of the churoh. The selection of an American prelate for this office, and particularly Cardinal Gibbons, would be hailed with joy by all Catholics and other religious denomina tions here.

A leading clergyman remarked to-day: "There is no likelihood of the next pope being an American. If it were not for the temporal power for which Pope Leo is now struggling it would not matter from what section of the world the head of the church came, but circumstances will compel the cardinal to select some other than an American as the successor of Pope Leo. The feeling against foreigners is too intense to admit even the consideration of any other country. So you can make up your mind that only an Italian will be chosen, should God in His wisdom remove Pope Leo. "I am of the opinion that the discussion of the subjcct is premature, in so much as it is the belief that the present pontiff will be with

us

Besidee, I am

yet many years.

Bure

Cardinal Gibbons has

no aEpirations in the direction of the Vatican. He iB naturally retiring and very modest, and would prefer tcf spend his days in the country he loves so well. He is an ardent American. I also think it impractical that he would be selected, for the reason that this country is still too young to deserve such distinction. We have but one cardinal, and he was, only recently, created a prince of the churqb. ____

What Bishop Cbatard Says. 3

Bishop Chatard was ssked to-day by a News reporter what he thought of the news from Rome regarding the possibility of Cardinal Uibbons being elected pope to succeed Leo XIII, if the latter should die. "I think it would be a mistake," he replied, "to attaoh any importance to the report. I read it, but I do not believe it has any significance. Doubtless some prelate has been talking to a newspaper reporter, and is authority for the report. Prelates are numerous in Rome. They afe legion. If one is not very careful he is likely to be taken in by one of second-rate importance. I have known suoh things. The whole matter is merely conjecture. Cardinal Gibsons has the advantage of being one of the electors who may take part in the election if he arrives in time, but it is along distance. Cardinal McCloekey failed to reach Rome in time for the election. Cardinal Gibbons also belongs to the circle from which a pope must be chosen, and his election is poeeible, but further than that, I believe there is nothing in the report." "Is there a fueling more favorable to the selection of an American than at any time before." "A Frenchman a few yean ago wrote a book, in which he endeavored to show that an American ahould|be elected, bnt his ideas were really so fanciful that they were simply amusing. I believe lie predicted that Cardinal Gibbons would be elected. Poasibly this report started from that book."—{Indianapolis Neva.

The pastor ot the flock js the Rev. J. Lee Gamble, an eooentrio zealot, who has gained a large and Mindly devoted following from among the ultra pious and leas enlightened people of the region. He was formerly oonnicoons in tlie Methodist ministry, but his erratic tsndenoiso, led him, some years ago, to renounce the restraints of that communion and to embark in the task of evangelizing the world on more radical lines of doctrine and by more enthusiastic methode of missionary woi*k.

Pastor Gamble's sincerity and ooneoientiouaneee are attaated by the fact that he only, among the hundreds of thousands of pensioned war veterana, has rejected the government bounty on moral grounds. Physically, he is much of a wreck, suffering from diseases and disabilitiee contracted as a captive Union soldier in Andersonville prison, and formerly he drew a pension of twelve dollars per month. But in course of time his conscience became awakened to the fact that apart of the pension fund wee collected by the government in the form of taxes on whisky and tobacco, and he therefore notified the pension department that he renounced his claim to the pension, as he could no longer accept money polluted by connection with the unholy traffic in these articles.

Along with hie radical temperance views, Pastor Gamble oarriea on a fiery, cruiaade against Bee ret- societiea and church fairs and entertainments, dances and theatrical shows, and against the wearing of jewelry and co3tly apparel. He insistB upon the saving graoe of immersion in baptism, and of anointing with oil, and teaches the lambs of

hiB

flock that it would be infinitely wicked for them to intermarry with sinful worldlings.

In common with the Holiness people, who are mainly secedera from the Methodist Church, and who claim te get their doctrines pure from the teachings of John Weeley, Pastor Gamble holds that by faithful eelf-consecration to pious duties the believer may become entirely sinless and holy in this life, wad that all forms of disease may be miraculously hetled in response to fervent prayers.

During the past few weeks the faith curehas been brought into active and extensive practice in Pastor Gamble's precinct, many sick persons coming there from long distances for treatment. Believers claim that numerous wonderful cures have been effected, notably in the cases *f a twenty-year drunkard, an insane person, and a bedridden woman—all prayed over, annointed and radically healed. On the other hand the scoffers of the region declare that not one person haa been really and permanently helped in Pastor Gambles faith-cure temple, and they denounce the noisy gatherings of frantic enthusiasts there as an unmitigated nuisance. In fact, they go further and affirm that the unnatural fatigue and excitement to which the sick are subjected has, in a number of instances, killed the patients, and on this score there ia a growing bitter public feeling toward the Holineas ii nil

Oh, roses red, and roses new! Lie In my hands, as they came from you -. No leaf is broken, the dew Is still here, It bangs on each petal, a glistening tear.

Oh, roses red, and roses new! Flash o'er my bosom their brilliant hue They speak to me Love's fervent appeal, They dull my senses, I sink, I reel! -Now roses red, that once were new. Have shed their color, and fragrance, too "Each faded petal doth hang its head In sorrow, hears Love's vanishing tread.

Mra. Annie Bssant, the socialist, has great popularity and influence among the radicals of London. There is, says a writer, a wonderful magnetic attraction about her.

To think of having a hole bored through your nose in order to facilitate breathing is almost brutaL But it is not considered so in these days, for the oper ation is performed on all sorts of per sons. The oarsmen of a certain college who have just submitted to it are merely following a current fad of one school of doctora. The part that is bored is the cartilage between the nostrils inside the nose. The hole is bored by means of a sort of wire drill, and the operation is said not to hurt at all. Very many ladies as well as men, have their noees bored. The wound doee not show, of course.
