The death of Simon Cameron perhaps leaves Colonel R. W. Thompson of this city the oldest public man in the United States, that is of those who have been at all prominent many years in succession in national affairs.

Governor Foraker, no doubt, did not want the third term, and

hiB

friends

would not have entered into the contest as they did but for the ill-advised attacks on the governor a few months ago by some of the Ohio leaders who are envious of his personal popularity before the people, who, it will now be seen, are decidedly inclined to stand by the valiant leader even to the bad precedent of a third term candidacy. Yet, bad as is the third term doctrine, Foraker will be elected.

Senator Voorhees is to make a speech at Bloomfield on July 28th. There is no campaign in this state this year, other than that theiree traders have begun on account of the miners' strike. The Gazette says the senator will speak on the tariff question and it is reasonable to suppose that he will still further try to repair the damage done to himself and his free trade party by his speech and vote in the senate a few months ago in support of the tariff duty on bituminous coal. In other words he will flop.

PETTY MISREPRESENTATION.

Tnis TURKIC HACTK EXI'RKSS, which has been cooperating with the Indianapolis Journal In its ef" forts to discredit the Clay county miners, now says:

We don't defend the block coal operators. We think they are organized for greed and dividends. So far as our knowledge goes they overlook nothing that Is to their advantage that can be secured by even a heartless use of the power of capita*#'

Indianapolis Sentinel.

Surely there is ability enough about the Sentinel office to handle this mining question without misrepresentation. What the Sentinel quotes appeared in TIM EXPRESS in the beginning of the discussion, at least two weeks ago, and not "now" as the Sentinel would have its readers believe in a tricky attempt to make it appear that THE EXPRESS had changed its tune, so to speak. Nor has the THE EXPRESS tried to "discredit the Clay county miners" it has discredited only those free traders who have been using the miners as catspaws. Nor has THE EXPRESS denied that there was distress in the mining regions, as the Indianapolis News asserts it simply denied that the condition of the strikers was' any worse than in former strikes, and this brings us again to the point that at the time of those strikes neither the Sentinel nor News started subscription funds. How do they answer for their lack of charitable public spirit then? Are they forced to admit that Senator Voorhees' letter, contributing 820 and denouncing the tariff, is what aroused them to the occasion this yeBr? And which aroused them the most, the §20 of charity or the denunciation of the tariff?

EXCHANGE ECHOES.

St. Louis Ulobe-Democrat: The fact that the Prohibitionists haven't gained a victory anjwhere since they broke faith with the Republican party should admonish all reformers that there Is nothing so unprolltable as treachery. "T5ew York Tribune: The Prohibition leaders of Pennsylvania now force the distinct Issue between prohibition and license, and say that they will organize to vote for no oRlcer, from highest to lowest, who does dot unequivocally pledge himself to prohibition as against any other mode of dealing with the liquor question. That Is a strictly logical course, and It will reduce the prohibition vote everywhere to the minimum.

Philadelphia Telegraph: Irishmen should perceive that Ireland's cause cannot be served by assassination—It Is a crime that, being assoelated with any cause however good, will destroy all human sympathy for it What else Irishmen should perceive Is that, as Irishmen In Ireland, not as liretended Americans In America, they should tight Ireland's battles, the more especially If their weapons are to be the knife, pistol, bludgeon, and dynamite, and to be used only In the dark or In secret.

THE CHIHUAHUA TIGER.

Paul Gillett, an old Indian hunter and trader of Yuma, is at the American Exchange, says the San Francisco Examiner. For fifty years he has been a conspicuous figure in the Colorado and Gila river districts. He has taken part in a number of severe brushes with the Apaches and other tribes, but in his old age, owing to the military forces on the frontier, and the lessening of Indian difficulties, he is now devoting more attention to hunting. His eye *ifl yet undimmed, and though now nearly "0 years of age, he is strong and stalwart. It would take a book to tell of his varied experiences. Moreover, he is inclined not to talk much of himself. However, he consented to tell an Examiner representative of a strange experience he had with a royal Chihuahua tiger, as an animal of which nothing is known quite so far north as San Francisco. "You must know," 6aid he, "that these tigers are the most beautiful animals in America. They are robust and seven or eight feet long, a beautiful golden color and spotted like a leopard. The royal tiger of Bengal is striped and has no dots on him. Moreover, his general color is dun, not gold, like the tiger of the Aztec races. A thorough-going cat in all his movements, sly and light of tread, and with the strength of a Hercules, a man can not afford to fool round too much when he meets one out under the Southern pinion trees. "It was in September that myself, Tim Estabrook and John Wilkinson were camped at our mines at the head of Dolores canon. A party of Mexicans came in and reported that they had found an old Spanish mine a few miles out. The Spanish mineB were to a large extent covered over and concealed at the time of the revolution and many of them were lost. It was one of those lost mines that the Mexicans said they had. We set off after it, carrying our express rifles with us, for we never in that section go out unarmed, for fear of renegade Apaches, let alone vicious wild animals. After an eighteen-mile jaunt we came to the entrance of the mine. The earth covering had fallen in, and though wreck and ruin were all around, there was a good sized aperture, and we had no difficulty in entering it. We had advanced about fifty yards in the long, desolate tunnel, and if there is anything desolate in this world it is the dark, damp tunnel of a deserted mine. We carried pine faggots in hand to give us light, and were moving along in a stooping posture, as miners go, when all of a sudden I noticed great big tracks in the soft mud at the bottom. "Good heaven!" said I, "there are beare in here, and if we don't get out we are done for." We beat a hasty retreat and reaching open air again, gathered dry brusheB and sticks to smoke them out. We stacked them up pretty high in the mouth of the tunnel and threw dirt on them to cause them to smolder and throw the smoke bftckw&rdt "Then we sat down with our guns to await the enemy. We had sat there fifteen or twenty minutes, and were tired of holding our guns so long, and began to talk about other things. Still nothing came. We discussed a variety of subjects our attention became entirely relaxed, and I was in the midst of a story, when booh'.jboohll a great golden tiger leaped over the fire and us with a great bound. In a twinkling another with the same booh! and bigger than the other, leaped the barrier, collided against Estabrook, knocked him down and went flying beyond like a greased streak of lightning. Every lost one of us forgot his gun and went racing around trying to find trees to climb. An old she tiger and two kittens, with piercing howls, next followed, and went clambering up the hillside after the other two. By this time every one of us was either perched in a tree or shining up a sapling. Oar guns were lying on the ground, and, old hunters as we were, we were clearly beaten. Perched in our trees, after our fright was over, we indulged in loud shrieks and laughter. The situation was too ludicrous. But we resolved to get after these tigers, and we did it. We got a skilled Mexican trailer to go with

UP,

and we trailed them across gulches, through shrubs, and finally caught a glimpse of one perched in a rocky cleft. Williamson brought him down by a shot in the heart. He was a very fine one, large and powerful, and with a magnificent skin. "Into the next canon we traced the other tigers. They traveled almost together, going only fifteen or twenty feet apart in places. The Mexican at last corraled them in a soft limestone mountain, crumbling in pieces like chalk, and with holes in one side made by weather and animals. It was their other retreat. This time, while we made preparations to smoke them out, we stationed ourselves 100 yards away, spread far apart so we could get a good aim at their bodies while tney ran. The first came bounding out like a shot out of a gun, but we were on the alert this time, and three bullets pierced him and laid him low. Then t.he old one and her youngicame along. We shot into them, wounding the big one. and she turned on us. Estabrook was caught and his coat torn off. Turning to flee the tiger caught him by the left hand and put her teeth through it and crushed it. The kittens, weighing about one hundred pounds apiece, would not run, and advanced to aid in the fight. A rifle-ball from one of us cripled one and laid the other low, and on we rushed, firing all the while, to the aid of Estabrook. Some way we missed the brute. We had to fire with the greatest care to keep from hitting the hunter, and it seemed to me it was fully five minutes before we planted the fatal ball in her. "Estabrook was so badly maimed by the teeth of the tiger that he never recovered from it. His hand was so torn that two of his fingers hung by shreds of flesh, and his arm above the wrist was also lacerated. This was the closest call I ever had with any wild animal. Bear and deer and other kinds of game on the borders I have killed in large numbers, but there is nothing on the frontier now that is so vicious as this tiger. Estabrook is now at San Bernandino, laid up from his tiger fight."

Wife Murder and Suicide.

SPRINGFIELD, 111., June 26.—Walter Hamp, a butcher from Lancaster, Pa., murdered his wife here to-day and then committed suicide by shooting himself. About six months ago Hamp's wife, after possessing herself of as much of her husband's money as she could get hold of, abandoned her home and fled with one Henry Doerr. About three months ago they came to this city and opened a butcher shop. They were located here by Hamp, and to-day he put in an appearance, visited his wife at her boarding house and requested her to accompany him to a justice's office to sign certain deeds. The justice went out for a few momenta, and during his absence

Hamp fired three afcrta into hie wife'e breast from a revolver. Then turning the weapon on himself sent a ball into his brain. Both died almost instantly.

MB. PHELP8 BIN LUCK.

His Appointment as Minister to Germany YMtarday. WASHINGTON, June 26.—The president

to-day appointed William Walter Phelps minister to Germany. -If Mr. Phelps received his appointment from the president's own hands, with the remark that it was his reward, which naturally was highly gratifying to the recipient.

Going over to the department of state, his commission was immediately made out and he qualified as United States minister to Germany. Mr. Phelps will not proceed to his new post for some time, but feeling that he has earned a, rest and needing time for the adjustment of his private business, will go to his home in New Jersey in a day or two. [William Walter Phelps was born In New York City August 24.1839. and was graduated with high honors at Yale college in 18G0. Twelve oears later he was made a Fellow of his Alma Mater. After graduation be pursued his studies In Europe, and later at the Columbia college law school, wnere he was valedictorian of his class. He then entered upon the practice ef law, but bis career as a lawyer, though eminently successful for a young man, was brief, as he retired from active service in the profession In 1868. Governor Kenton offered him the seat In the court of the Sixth New York Judicial district made vacant by the resignation of Judge Barrett, but this appointment he declined. In 1872 Mr. Phelps was elected to the Forty-third congress from the Fifth congressional district ef New Jersey, his opponent being A. B. Woodruff. The district was natrirally Democratic. Although he served In congress only two years, his career was so brilliant that It was said of him that no man, In many years, had made such a mrrk in so short a time. While he was a strong Republican, he was independent In judgment and action. He voted against the civil rights bill, and gave as his reason that It was unconstitutional, and that Its policy was a bad one for the colored race. In 1875 Mr. Phelps ran for congress again, but was defeated by Augustus W. Cutler by only seven votes, Mr. Phelps' vote being 11,670, and Mr. Cutler's 11.677. Ill health and the demands of business induced Mr. Phelps to remain In private life, although the Republicans of New Jersey have repeatedly desired to avail themselves of his services since then. Mr. Phelps is a director in several railroad companies and other corporations. Among them are the Delaware, Lackawanna A Western railroad, the Morris A Essex railroad, the International A Great Northern railroad of Texas, the National city bank of New York City, the Second national bank and the United States trust company. His home Is nearEngelwood, N. J., on a large estate, which contains 1,000 acres, and stretches from the Hudson river to the banks of the Hackensack. Soon after his graduation at Yale he married a daughter of Joseph E. Sheffield, the founder of the Sheffield Scientific school at New Haven, and his family now consists of his wlte, two sons and a daughter. Mr. Phelps was an earnest friend of Mr. Blaine In 1880 and 1884, and he steadfastly labored tor Mr. Blaine's nomination. In 1881 President Garfield sent Mr. Phelps as United States minister to Austria. Upon Mr. Arthur's succession he resigned and finally retired In August, 1882. He was unanimously re-elected to congress and continued to serve through the Forty-eighth, Forty-ninth and Fiftieth congress. His appointment to the Samoan conference was on account of his special fitness.

Rights of Colored Republicans. WASHINGTON, June 26.—Ex-Senator

Bruce and Fourth Auditor Lynch headed a delegation of colored Republicans, who waited on the president this morning and presented an address adopted at the Jackson, Miss., conference on June 13th in regard to the political situation in the South, and expressing the utmost confidence in the president's policy toward tlie colored people in that region. The president thanked them for their confidence, and said they could rest assured that he would do the beBt he could toward all classes. He commended the conservative stand taken by them, and said they would have his assistance in every endeavor to improve their political status.

Among the president's other visitors this morning were Senators Stockbridge and'MorgaD, Representatives Brown, S. Ruble and Coleman, John Wise of Virginia, Charles J. Johnson of Cincinnati, and a committee of the Women's Christian temperance union.

Many of them have been sent home and the others are being cared for in the hospital. The local physicians, many of them being sufferers by the flood, have sent representatives to General Hastings protesting against the presence of the red and yellow cross physicians who are caring for the sick to the financial disadvantage of the local doctors. General Hastings refused to act on the premises.

OBROABT. Booth, wit* of the lit*

Booth, died yesterday, at the of her daughter, Mrs. John T. on, in Indianapolis, in her 90th

Although Mrs. Booth had for several years resided in Indianapolis, from her long residence in Terre Haute and close association with all our old families, her departure will be felt deeply here many will mourn for her and recall the virtues of this remarkable woman.

Mrs. Booth was born, in the last century, in North Carolina, of that sterling Quaker stock which contributed many of our excellent pioneer families to this county, and early removed to Salem, Indiana, where she was married to Mr. Beebee Booth Mid where her children were born. Mr. Booth was in Terre Haute as early as 1818, but became a permanent resident in 1841,or 1842,when he removed here with his family to engage in mercentile business, from which he retired in 1850. Most of the life, for two score years, in this city, was passed in the old homestead at Sixth and Ohio and in the block which replaced it.

Mrs. Booth was remarkable alike for her mental and physical strength.- Of her it could be said, long after the allotted yearo of life were gone, that her "eye was not dim," nor her "natural force abated." When she first came here, those who met her saw her in the plain and distinctive garb of the sect from which she

Bprang,

and the simple cap

shaded a beautiful face, the cheek retained its bloom till the premonitory stroke of death, the eye its brightness, and the brown hair showed scarcely a silver thread. When others of the same venerable age were decrepit and bent under their years she walked and sat erect. Her strong mind, alert, decided, vigorous, marked by clear and ir. dependent thought, resisted the approach of age. She read and thought much of the topics which interested the thoughtful or absorbed the patriotic. Characters of former generations, heroic women of the past, who impressed their resolution and virtues upon their eone, who by their individuality live in story or history, while weaker oneB are forgotten, were revived in Mrs. Booth. It was natural that one

BO Btrong

in mind,

so decided in thought and firm in character, should be intense in feeling and bold in expression, and it was also consistent that one impressed in youth by the writings of that sect, which was both gentle and heroic, meek and courageous, should be true to every convictionjofjtruth and honor as revealed to her. But if firm and constant, she was not obtrusive, and as is often the case with forceful characters, her strength was reserved and her feelings suppressed. She was surrounded by a family which could be sources alike of pride and honor. Her son, the Hon. Newton Booth, ex-senator of California, after his education at Greencastle and practice at the Terre Haute bar, went to California in 1850, to acquire wealth and honor. Another son, the late Mr. Walter Booth, in the more contracted sphere as a merchant in the neighboring city of Paris, III., developed a character und lived a life more admirable and enviable than many adorned by riches and fame and Mr. Lyman Booth, who lately died at Marshall, was another son, whose force, ability and character were not limited by a small field. Mrs. John S. Tarkington, of Indianapolis, and Mrs. Ames, of Greencastle, are the surviving daughters. Lucius Booth, theyounger son, died several years ago in Terre Haute,and the loss of this son, the only child left at home, peculiarly affected the mother's usually constitat firmness atid the underlying tenderness was more manifest than usual. Her severest bereavement, the death of three sons and her husband, were endured in the closing years of her life. A slight paralytic

Btrbke,

last year,

marked the relaxing of her firm tenure on life, and gradually, gently, its holdjrelaxed, ceased. The unwavering and consistent life waB ended, the pure and elevated character done with living becomes the cherished memory of her children, who will arise up and call her blessed. •i. vN

A DANVILLE DUDS

Goat on an Btcanim and Bides la It* Maria.

Dick Cannon was among the number taking in the Danville excursion to Terre Haute on Sunday, and, although he was not blowing around yesterday and relating his experience, it waa pretty well known to our citizens, says the Danville Press, a number of whom were on the train and were witnesses to a portion of his conduct.

During the day he and a companion hired a buggy to take a ride, and when they returned to the stable the vehicle had been scratched, and the liveryman wanted $5 for damtfges. Dick wouldn't pay, as he was warmed up a little, but his friend did. This did not suit the Danville sport and he struck at the liveryman. A policeman, who was standing near, and who was entirely ignorant of the importance and standing of the young man, collared him and he was taken to the calaboose in the Maria. Here he was released from the clutches of the law by depoeiting security for his appearance in court yesterday.

Dick came home with the excursionists, and he was very weary, but then he bad a good place to lay his head, and was greatly refreshed by the sleep he obtained. It is said that it was a Hoopeston girl who allowed him to pillow his head upen her heaving bosom, but the fellow who threw the glass of water in his face and wet the girl's collar has not been identified.

Dick went over again yesterday to have his time, but as to how it terminated we have not been informed. It seems that this is not the first unpleasant experience the young man has had in the state of Indiana, and one would think he had about all he wanted of the Hoosiere. But then, some people never do know when they have enough.

RUSSELL IS ALL RIGHT.

No Attempt to Be Hade to Prevent the President's Son leaving: for Europe. NEW YORK, June 26.—Mr.de Lancey

Nicoll, counsel for J. Schuyler Crosby, in his libel suit far $50,000 damages against Russell Harrison, left for Albany this morning. Before leaving, however, he said he was surprised at the statement made in several of the morning papers, to the effect that he or his client would attempt to prevent Mr. Harrison from Bailing to Europe to-day, as his bail was entirely satisfactory.

Mr. Nicoll said also that the rumor that Governor Crosby would withdraw his suit was absurd, because he had received instructions from his client to bring the case to trial as

Charles A. Bonaparte,of Baltimore,will deliver the oration at the celebration of the founding of the archdiocese of Baltimore, at Bay Ridge, Md., on July 11. That date also marks the centennial anniversary of the establishment of the Catholic hierarchy of the United States.

Colonel John M. Wiison, who is talked of as the coming head of West Point, has many duties at Washington and performs them all well.

Mrs. Chanler has again attracted the attention of the Saturday Review, which continues to call her Miss Amelie Rives.

King Humbert is something of a wit. His hair grew white almost of a sudden three years ago.

PHILOSOPHY OF THE DAY.

The degrees of luck are so various that they can be applied to all circumstances. Wisdom waits to be asked for advice.

Truths differ. Sometimes they are told to a man's face, and sometimes behind his back.

The truth about some men is not told until after they are dead. Vanity produces corns and vexations of spirit.

Trusts are combinations of men and corporations that cannot trust one another.

If every man could have his way, the world would be almost depopulated. Some men discipline themselves to death.

A denouncer of the drama is often a terrifying character in the drama of his own conscience.

Experience gets there every time. Much sympathy is thrown away on an ambulance patient. It may be only a case of plain drunk.

Worry kills more men than wars. A woman tired of hearing of love is tired of loving.

Men would be lees wicked if they would hunt for fewer opportunities. Great men can outgrow nicknames.

Sometimee it is wiser to beg pardon than to fight The other fellow may be bigger, and a black eye is a cloud.

The man that never knows the time of day is always too late or too early to wait.

When the policeman says "Move on!" it is wise to move. He has two advantages: a club and the semblance of the law.

Many a man lives on the reputation others make for him.—{New York Sun.
