It will not be many more days when other wells will have reached the oil depth, and when the gushers begin gushing you may expect to see Terre Haute take on such rapid growth that Indianapolis will be a spot on the map in comparison. We are willing to admit that it will yet be a pretty spot.

The president is going to Deer Park to take a much needed rest. He has gone through a terrible ordeal in the last three months, such as none of his Republican predecessors ever experienced. That he has held up in health and made excellent selections of public officers through it all is a vindication of the promise given for him when he was selected as the candidate of his party for the office.

The result of the coroner's investigation at Chicago is in part made known by the arrests of yesterday. The most notable was that of Alexander Sullivan, a man whose undoubted ability as a leader of men, and of thought, too, had made him a national character. That there was a brutal conspiracy to murder Dr. Cronin is now not a matter of doubt, nor is there any reasonable doubt that Alexander Sullivan is shown to have been guilty of the things charged against him by Dr. Cronin, which caused the bitter personal enmity between the two men. The direct connection of Sullivan personally with the crime is not so clearly established but that extreme men belonging to his faction in the Clan-na-Gael could have been led to commit the murder by Sullivan's conduct in the quarrel with Cronin, is beyond dispute. It is all a bad piece of business, and the American people don't want societies capable of furnishing such conspiracies to have a foothold in the country.

EXCHANGE ECHOES.

Sioux City Journal: The murderers of Or. Cronin must be hunted down like the wolves that they are.

Pittsburg Post: Prohibition Iowa has Increased the quantity of liquor sold while the quality Is much lewer. Such Is the testimony ot the United States revenue ofllcers, who are In a position to know.

Pittsburg Chronicle: The sum of $10,000,000 Is owing the united States In various forms of Indebtedness—fines, forfeitures and tresspasses. Judgment has been obtained on the debts, but not the money. The accounts should be put Into the hands of the collector.

Oregonlan: Cleveland owed the solid South too much not to recognize Its solidity and endeavor to keep up Its reliability. We saw Southern brigadiers sent all over the world to represent our nation, and Washington Territory endured a score of them to till offices and get a living at the public crib. *, St. Louis Globe-Democrat: Within a little over aw«k from the present time Pennsylvania ,wlll deieat the proposition to adopt prohibition, and

Rhode Island will remove prohibition from Its constitution. This ought to reform and enlighten the Prohibitionists, but the chances are that It will not.

Pittsburg Commercial-Gazette: When the people -h of Seattle. W. T., heard of the Johnstown calamity they Immediately loaded a car with provisions and started It to the sufferers. They were then among the most prosperous of the country.

To-day a great fire has made them almost penniless, and their relief car has not yet reached Johnstiwn.

Iowa State Register: The lack of practically all restraint has permitted Europe to make the 'ruiM. United States a dumping place for Its criminal m& and dangerous and undesirable classes. Tighten vkm up the laws so as to keep the rascals out This may require that foreign consulships at many places become something else than sinecures.

New York Tribune: Mr. Parnell has rendered nowhere greater service than he has la promoting obedience to law, and in restoring order in those districts in Ireland where violence has been wont to reign supreme, and where human life has been constantly In peril, and to have accomplished this in spite of the Influence of the crimes act has been no small achievement.

Washington Post: It Is pretty nearly the time that a Belf-respectlng public drew the line on Its support of menaad women who advertise themselves for approval by questionable alliances and Immoral escapades. In the name of art. what crimes against morality have been committed tn the past few years! a woman gams celebrity for beauty, or grace or cleverness. Her relentless vanity demands new world's to conquer. She casts off every obligation of honor enly to find she must win notoriety as a woman for the fame she cannot gain as an actress.

WRITING OF NOTED 1EH.

In a totter written by Nathaniel Hawthorne when youthful student at Bowdoin college, he remark*: "What do yon think of my becoming an author and relying for rapport upon my pen? Indeed, I think the illegibility ot my handwriting is very authorlike. The truth of this early assertion is attested by the fact that at his death the famous romancer left several manuscripts that remained long un published because no one could be found to decipher their intricacies. His remark also serves to illustrate the proverbial reputation for poor penmanship, with which, in common with the legal profession, literary people have been so load credited. This reputation is at the present day at least almost wholly undeserved, since, with very few exceptions, the chirography of our most prominent authors is quite unexceptionable in its legibility. It is no doubt true that the handwriting of Joaquin Miller resembles a dilapidated hedge fence that Nora Perry's melts away

into

intricacies of illegibility that

Aldrich's characters are but half formed, and that William Winter's are so strange and crooked as to resemble Japanese hieroglyphics but, on the other hand, the chirography of Holmes, Howells, Harte, and a host of others is a fair example of the clerical neatness of most of our modern writers' manuscripts.

The little pleasantry of Hawthorne^s, however, had some foundation in fact, in proof of which a writer in the Pittsburg Dispatch cites many amusing anecdotes of veritable curioeitiee of chirography among the most noted writers of the past. Some years ago a new form of annual was proposed in England, which was to consist of a story by eminent authors, each of whom was to write a page, to be produced in fac simile. After receiving a few manuscripts the publishers were obliged to abandon the undertaking, as it was found that many of the pages would be utterly illegible to the ordinary reader, and because some of them would contain twenty words, while others would comprise enough to fill a newspaper column. This idea was, however, practically carried out in an edition of one of Hugh Conway's stories, in which each alternate page was a fac simile of the author's manuscript but it is safe to say that few readers ever took the trouble to decipher these pages, as the penmanship was almost microscopic, and was rendered still more illegible by being blurred in the process of printing.

The number of writerB who have attained this useless art of minute penmanship, so perplexing to editors and printers, is really remarkable. As is well known, Charles Dickens was one of the chief offenders in this direction, his handwriting being very diminutive, while every inch of his manuscript was usually covered as though paper were both scarce and expensive. His habit of writing with blue ink upon blue paper, with frequent interlineations and cross lines, completed his enormities, and must have made his copy a burden to the wearied proofreader and compositor. Of alike nature was the ohiography of DouglaB Jerrold, who dotted down his jokes upon little slips of blue paper in letters smaller than the type in which they were presently to be set. Charlotte Bronte's handwriting was so exceedingly delicate that it appeared to have been traced with a needle, while Thackeray wrote a fine feminine hand and delighted in ornamenting his manuscript with pen and inksketohee and caricatures of his famous characters.

Captain Marryat, it is said, wrote such an exceedingly fine hand that whenever the copyist rested from his labors he was obliged to put in a pin where he left off in order to find the place again. Another expert in microscopic penmanship is the English novelist, R. D. Blackmore, who, like Diokens, writes with blue ink, and in tiny, detached characters, which are almost undecipherable at first sight. His contemporary, William Black, is also noted for the wonderful minuteness of his chirography. Among American authors of extreme economy in the use of ink is Cable, who writes a dapper little hand with a fine-pointed steel pen Julian Hawthorne, whose letters are well formed but almost infinitesmal in size, and the poet Stoddard, who uses a sharppointed lead pencil and gets about twelve hundred words on a single sheet of foolscap.

The most celebrated exponent of bad penmanship in America was Rufus Choate, whose signature has been aptly compared to "a gridiron struck by lightning," and whose handwriting was, in many oases, absolutely undecipherable, evan by the writer himself. On one occasion Mr. Choate was having his house repaired, and made arrangements to have a carved mantelpiece put up, promising to send the model. Failing to obtain one to

Buit

him, he wrote his workman to that effect. The carpenter, after studying the missive—which looked as if a spider wading in ink had crawled across the paper—at length concluded that it must be the desired plan, and forthwith began fashioning probably the moot original mantelpiece that ever ornamented a room. This story iB almost equal to that told of the great Napoleon, who was such a wretched writer that it is said his letters from Germany to Josephine were at first taken for rough maps of the seat of war.

No mention of remarkable penmen would be complete which did not include the name of Horace Greeley, whose chirography was once tersely described by anew compositor in the Tribune office in the savage remark, liberally interspersed with profanity: "If Belshazzar had seen this handwriting on the wall he would have been moie terrified than he was." Mr. Greeley, becoming disgusted with the blunders of one of his typesetters, sent a note up to the foreman requesting him to discharge the man at onoe, as he was to inefficient a workman to be any longer employed on the 'Tribune. The foreman obeyed instructions, but before leaving the "typo" managed to get possession of Mr. Greeley's note, and immediately went to a rival office and applied for work, showing the note as a recommendation. The foreman to whom he applied scanned the note aad said: "Ob, I see—'good and efficient workman'—employed a long time on the Tribune—Horace Greeley, and immediately set him to work on the strength of Greeley's certification of his incapacity, after having been "out of a job" for the space of about fifteen minutes.

The handwriting of Horace Greeley was plain compared with that of Mr. Bloss, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, who was, beyond doubt, the worst penman who ever occupied an editorial chair. This remarkable journalist was peculiar in his methods, but in none more

BO

than

in his manner ot writing. His pen was held at the extreme end of the holder, and the strange characters which he made were sometimes almost aa unintelligible to himself aa the world at large. His writings were simply a seriss of hiero­

mm •m mM.

glyphics but b« made bis oharaetaw alwajraalika, and, in thaooaiaeotttBfcby close study, one oould learn to deefpha* than. When it .was known that Mr. Blosa was dead, the printers in tbe Enquirer news-room lost no time in rummaging thawaata paper bags for reed mens of his chirography, until in lees than an hour not a scrap of his manuscript was to be found in the office.

Of all noted authors, probably none waa such a tenor to bis printers aa Balzac, although Wordeworth,Sir Walter Scott and Byron wan nearly aa bad. The latter, in particular, made a fearful mesa of his proofs, and scrawled corrections on the margins till Murray and hia printers were almoat driven out of their senses. His additiona were generally greater than the' original text To one poem, which originally contained 400 lines, 1,000 were afterwards added in the proofs. Balzac's copy was altered and corrected sometimes aa many aa fifteen timee, and revise after revise returned in an almost illegible condition.

SULLIVAN'S WAKE.

A Supposed Drowned Mas Snrprlsee All HI* Frieads. Michael Sullivan, one of the Johnstown people whose body was recovered, identified and buried, had many friends and relativee at the point, says the Pittaburg Commercial-Gazette. When they read of his death they held a consultation to devise means to honor Mr. Sulli van. His body, they supposed, waa already beneath the clay, and it would, therefore, be impracticable for them to hold a funeral service. It was decided that awake would be the proper thing,

Aa Friday was the day on which "Mike," as he was familiarly known, met his untimely fate, it was resolved that the wake should be held on that day of the week, and accordingly on laat Friday the committee of arrangements prepared everything. In the evening the friends of the deceased gathered and discussed the many virtues of their departed friend. A "dummy" corpse had been prepared, and it was placed on aboard and covered with a sheet, in another room. Several kindly Irish women gathered around this, chanting the Celtic death-song, which is one of the most weird and mournful things imaginable. This was kept up for a«couple of hours. When the mournere were about to disperse, after having paid what they considered a fitting tribute to the memory of the unfortunate Mike, a knock waa heard at the door. It was opened by one of the women, who let go a scream of terror and fled to another room. Before the assembled people could recover from their surprise they, too, received a shock. The cause of it all was a poorlyclad man, who bounded into the room exclaiming "I'm not dead." It was Mike, and he was one of the livelieet corpses that the Point people have ever held a wake upon. He had come to the city on a late train, and hearing that his wake was in progress, he concluded to attend, as he might never have the same opportunity.

When the mourners had recovered from their fear and consternation, and Mike had assured them that he was really flesh and blood, they crowded around him, eager to hear his story. He was given the most prominent seat in the room, and then he began his recital.

Sullivan waa employed in the Cambria iron works, and when the deluge came he had to flee for his life. By a desperate effort he reached a spot where he would be safe. While watching the terrible avalanche of water sweeping down the valley and carrying everything before it he saw a human being stroffn to reach the shore. Sullivan rushed the assistance of the man, and by meana of a board he managed to save him. The man was Superintendent Steele, of the Cambria gas company. The two men then turned in and did noble work in the way of rescuing people. Sullgr van especiall distinguished hiDf? self for heroism and bravery on-, that fateful day, and a score or morepeople owe to him their lives. All thatnight and until the first relief train entered the stricken city be worked unceasingly, reecuing the living, recovering the bodiea of the dead and attending to the wants of the sick and injured. When the relief party arrived he was about ready to succumb to exhaustion and hunger. The latter was appeased, and after a few hours' sleep he again went to work, and from that day until Friday, when he came to this city, he was one of the beet and most willing workers engaged in olearing away the debris. On Friday he concluded to visit this city to meet his friends and recuperate after a week's hard work. He came, with the astonishing result related before.

One sad incident in connection with Sullivan's experience in the flood was the loss of 1300, which he had saved out of his Bmall earnings to pay off a mortgage on his mother's home. He had the money in a trunk at his boarding-house, and it was swept away.

triet attorneyship ft* tha aoatfaan district ot Illiaoia was definitely settled today. Major Jamea A. Connolly is the lnaky recipient of Seaatar CaUomV favor, the latter forwarding thia afternoon hie recommendation that tha aiajor bs appointed. Vaa Hoorebeke, the present incumbent, haa aant in hia resignation, to teka effect June ~and it ia understood that Major Oonnolly'a appointment will be made ao that ha can assume the du ties of tha offios July held this office four years ago, but with the advent ot the Cleveland administration was removed upon ohargee unsupported by anything which oould be found in subsequent investigations. In speaking of hia recommendation for the place this evening, Major Connolly said "I learned Saturday, June 1, that Sanator Cullont decided he would mend my appointment aa diatrict attorney it he know that I oared for the portion. Afterwarda during the day I ohanoed to meet him at the Leland hotel. We had not met for over six months, and in the enauing conversation I told him that I had juat heard ot hia desire to recommend me, and I told him that aa the offioe would keep me in the line of my profession I would be well pleaeed to have it, but that I would not amlmiiaap him by making formal application for it and entering into a oonteet The senator remarked he had been thinking for sortie time about it, and had concluded that it I wanted it he would feel well aatisfied to recommend my appointment." "I suppose you have no reaaon to doubt that your appointment will be made?" "No, I have not' I believe theofficaof district attorney ia oonoeded to be one for which the recommendation of the senatora ia generally respected by the appointing power." "How do you auppoae Senator Cullom concluded to recommend you?" "Well, as to that I of oourse dq, not know, but I do know that ha and I were unfairly treated in the matter of my removal by President Cleveland four years ago, and my appointment will to some extent be a vindication of the aenator aa well as myself or it is possible that there were ao many equally good men applying for it that the senator was unable to make a choice between them, ao he concluded to take me aa a compromise."

It ia pretty generally oonoeded that John C. Mathis, a promising young attorney of thia city and aecretary of the Republican county central committee, will be Major Connolly's assistant.

-WHAT SHIP IS LOST?

Quantities of Wreckage Give Rise to Surmises Near Capo Sable. NEW YOKK, June 11.—The World's Halifax, N. S„ special says: A dispatch from Lockport says that the reorts from Port LeBear and Port eoli, between Lookport and Liverpool, announce quantitiee of wreckage coming ashore at theee places, including saloons, evidently belonging to a steamer. Many bodiea of fat cattle are also coming ashore. A denee fog prevails, and interferes with the inveatigation or rescue.

The place where the wreckage ia drifting shoreward ia about thirty-five milea northeast of Cape Sable, on the jagged coast of Queene and Shelboiini counties, Prinoe Edward's island. Thia point ia close to the course of many Atlantic eteamers bound to or from American ports. The presence of the cattle leads to the belief that the loet steamer belongs to none of the big lines which transport passengers.

He wss wounded, but sprang from the doorway and ran for his life. A second volley, however, riddled him with bullets, and he fell dead in his tracks.

The mob went to the houae of Isaac Robineon, another negro, living near by, and not finding him home, burned hia houae to the ground with ita contents. Both of the negroea bore good reputations, and no motive for the mob's work can be imagined. It ia believed that the men comprising it came froth Alabama.

A simple stove tor warming rooma by meona or aolar heat haa been contrived by Prof.EaS.Mone. It oonaiata of a shallow box, having a bottom of corrugated iron and a glaae top. Thia device is placed outaide tha building, where the sun can shine directly into it. The rays pass through the glssB and are abeorbed by the metal heating it to a high temperature and warming the air of the box. The air, whioh on sunny days rises to ninety aegraea F., ia conveyed into the room to be heated. "Fire! fire! fire!" A parrot belonging to W. C. Dodeon, who livee at the corner of Clarke and Craw streets, in Atlanta, Ga., sang out the startling cry recently, and people rushed out doors and discovered that the parrot knew what it was talking about, for the reeidenoe of Mr. Yandle, across the street, waa in a blaze. The fire department waa called out, and the wise bird waa given a cracker. The flames had gained considerable headway, but were extinguished as soon as the department arrived.

The Esquimaux of the Hudson's atraita are in the habit of making offerings of various articles, to spirits, and acrapa of food, powder and shot, tobacco, and the like, are to be found on the gravea of their dead. But they are anxious to conciliate all the known supernatural powers as well as the unknown, and, therefore, they made similar offerings to the beacon in the shape of a man recently"erected iu tiiat lexfuu. wnSir two cannon, undoubtedly Ifeft upon the shore by some early explorers, were stood on end, bullets, shot and a lot of other rubbish fell out, which the natives explained had been put there aa "an offering to the spirits."

A former operatic singer, now a teacher of singing, says it is impossible to stand on a carpet or rug and sing one's best. Bare boards make a good floor to stand on when you sing. Stone is just aa good, and glass iB better, but carpete deaden the voice and make a trained singer feel choked and suffocating. To aing well one must not have anything above or in front to catch the voice. Even the brim of a derby hat will impair the voice of a man who wears it while he sings. That is why singers etand far out by the footlights to sing, and because tbe stage of the New York Academy of Music projects far beyond the procenium arch vocalists always will love that old theater.

Mra. Reuben Froet,of Johnson county, Louisiana, has two genuine madstones that were given her years ago by her father, the famous huntsman, Lord Price. Their power of extracting the poison of rabid dogs has never been tested, though they will bs loaned to any applicant. Mrs. Frost says her father killed in his lifetime upward of five hundred deer and found only three madstones, two of which he gave her when a girl. She further states that her father told her that a hunter could toll aa aoon as a deer was killed whether or not ite atomash contained the magic atone, aa in every instance where the stone is the hair of the animal slain turned the reverse from ite natural poaition when cold in death.

M. Topinard has been making a statistical inquiry into the colore of the eyea and hair in Franoe, and from his 180,000 observations he deduces many interesting results, one of the most curious being that where the race is formed from a mixture of blondes and brunettes the hereditary blond coloring comes out in the eyes and the brunette element reappears in the hair. To this tendency probably ia to be attributed the rarity of a combination ot light hair with dark eyea. Several observers have asaerted that the American people, who are pre-eminently a mixed race, are becoming a dark-haired and blue-eyed nation, and if thia be true such a development must be owing to ths working of the law formulated by M. Topinard.

The Brooklyn Eagle depicta a life of extraordinary meanness lately brought to a cloae in that city. Martin G. Johneon, a civil engineer ot large fortune and reepectable associations, waa united in marriage to a lady of wealth and good eocial standing. On assuming charge of hia wife'a eetate he proceeded to impose on her the ordinary expenses of their wedded life. Against her were charged her expenditurea for clothing, the ooet of pleaaure tripe taken together by the couple, and even the rental of the pew in the church which they attended. When the holiday asaaon arrived and Chriatmaa gifta were in order, Mr. Johnson resented his wife with some token ot jii regard and coolly entered it to her debt account on the books. Whenever he eeoortod her to the aeaaide, or aooomnun her on a journey to mora diatant •tinationa the money required came from her bank account. After hia death legal proceedings were instituted to oompal a restitution to the widow's aetata ot tha amonnta thua abetraeted, and a referee haa decided that it must be dona.
