livery one concerned in the sale of the gravel pit now says that the city was bonswoggled, except the appraisers. Have they anything to say? And after their "say" will Judge Mack, who Bppointed them, make an explanation?

Kven ex-Mayor Kolsern is sore about his part in the gravel pit dicker. Why should he be? It was a rare bargain. Why should he now say that he would not have done what he did if he had known that there would have been trouble about it? He is a private citizen. It can't be that he expects to run for county clerk!

the baby, the toy balloons, and the

marvelous rllleman. sent out from this city by senile gifted correspondent last week, has found plenty of believers, and one pale. Intellectual, longhaired young man In Ohio has already written a touching poem about it. Chicago Tribune.

The "fun of the thing,," however, was in an editorial article in an esteemed local contemporary in which the probabilities of the occurrence were seriously discussed.

TIIK MXI'KKSS' experience with its esteemed contemporary, the Gazette, is calculated to make it believe that the CJazette is actuated by ulterior motives, whose eccentricity gives coloring to its claim of being independent, but all the same it seems that the Gazette has become unduly indignant over the little job of the sale of the gravel pit to ex-Mayor Kolsem, who happens to be a stockholder in the new newspaper that is weakly trying to till the field as a truly independent evening daily. We will not believe that the several columns of indignation each day is wholly owing to the fact that Mr. Kolsem, the late Democratic mayor, is a stockholder in the N ews.

Mr. Will'am E. Curtis, who is the special agent of the state department in the ^reception and entertainment of the delegates to the international congress of American states, including representatives of about all the Central ami South American countries, is arranging for the reception of these delegates by the dilVerent cities of the United States on their tour through the country which precede their cohfereuce at Washington. It is determined that they well visit St. Ljuis and Indianapolis, and Mr. Curtis says they will give a day or more to other cities in Indiana. The product of our tool works and Hour mills goes to South America in large quantities. Terre Haute is on the route and should be glad to welcome these gentlemen whose good otlioes may be of incalculable value in the future. What says the board of trade?

TH-E OLDEST. AND SMALLEST SECT.

There is to be found in the heart of the small city of NabluB, in North Palestine, a little religious community—now numbering about one hundred and fifty BOUIB—which has defied the ravages of war and poverty and oppression nearly three thousand yeare. Unlike the Vau dois, these Samaritans have had no friendly system ot mountain buttresses to defend them through the centuries and still more unlike the long-lived Savoyard protestants, they have been right in the pathway along which the devastating armies have marched back and forth, from the time of Sargon to Napoleon. But they have lived on and their unity has never been broken. They have clung to little Nablus and to their sacred Mount Gerizim, as the very cactus roots to the granite sides of the sombre Ebal that confronts them across their little enchanted valley.

The feeling with which the present Samaritans regard the Mohammedans is of that intense bitterness which they have always manifested toward the Jews. And why not? Does not the Samaritan date his faith from Abraham, or rather from Adam? and has not he a right to call that an infant religion which has been in existence for only the trifie of twelve centuries? Is not the Koran one of your new catchpenny romances, while that mysterious copy of the Pentateuch, made of sacred lambskins, which the Samaritans have been reading and kissing through these many ages, is the oldest copy in existence, written down by Aaron's own grandson, and the veritable original of all the Pentateuchs in the world?

As the population of Nablus is just about twelve thousand, the little Samaritan community is almost absorbed by the surrounding Mohammedan mass. Save to a careful observer, the very existence and presence of the Samaritans as a distinct element of citizenship in Nablus would not be noticed. The Samaritans wear a turban, much like that of their true Moslem neighbors, but between the history and theology of the two classes there is not a single positive resemblance..

The Samaritan synagogue is a 6mal building in the center of Nablus, half obscured by the surrounding dwellings. I passed through arched and littered streets to a little court, in the middle of which was a little plot of grass, relieved by three trees, two of which were lemon. I here found a little Samaritan school, and at the sight of a stranger the children sprang from the floor where they were sitting, kirised my hand and begged for backsheesh. The teacher was a youth of about fourteeu, the son of Amram, the high-priest. I was greatly disappointed at failing to find Amram himself, but in the end this circumstance aided me in my chief object, for the young man was willing, for a good fee, to show me the ancient Pentateuch. His father might have been deaf to all entreaties.

The claim of the Samaritans to have a copy of the Pentateuch older than the Jewish is supported by their own unbroken tradition, and by the opinion of some learned men of the present time in christian countries. But the weight of internal evidence is against it—among which may be mentioned grammatical emendations, late glosses in the text, insertions of foreign passages, alterations, s,amaritani6ms and changes in support of Samaritan doctrine.

There are three codices kept in the little synagogue in Nablus, two being generally shown to strangers. It is very rarely that the veritable one can be seen. My good fortune in getting a hasty look at it was due to the venturous aud avaricious spirit of Amram's son, rather than to any management of my own. Having lirst exhibited the two imitations, the young man, upon the offer of an additional fee, then brought out the original scroll from a chest. After the removal of the red satin cover I saw that the codex was enclosed in a silver cylindrical case, which had two doors opening on two sets of hinges. When these doors were thrown back the whole column was exposed to the vision. This cylinder is cf rich workmanship. It is about two feet and a half long and nearly a foot in diameter, and presents, in exquisitely raised work, a good plan of the tabernacle, with every part given with the utmost minuteness and rarest skill. The roll consists of dingy skins—prepared before the invention of parchment—eewed together with neat stitches, and worn and patched, and here and there entirely illegible. The skins are of equal size, and measure each twenty-live inches long and fifteen wide.

Before leaving Nablus I had the opportunity of spending an evening with Amram at his own house. He lived in the greatest simplicity, though in Palestine that is the rule rather than the exception. Mrs. El Karey, the wife of the missionary in Nablus in the employment of the Church Missionary society of London, was good enough to accompany mo and serve as interpreter. The venerable high priest, who was barefooted, and clad in a great turban and loose tlowing robe, received us with calm and dignified cordiality in his room—at once his parlor, dining-room aud bed-room. His very aged mother wag lying on the fioor, covered with bedclothing, and asleep. There were several children, half asleep, lying about the room. Amram's son-in-law was slowly copying a Pentateuch—for the Samaritans have no printing-press. It requires a year to make a copy, which is never sold, and is only used by the community. The aged mother of Amram arose after we had been present a few minutes, the many ornaments on her neck and in her ears making a harsh tinkling sound as she moved. I was invited to a seat on the tloor, and to take coffee and cigarettes. The mother, on seeing guests in her presence, took a ude bellows Bnd blew up the dull coals under the copper kettle. Coffee, the Oriental's unfailing proof of hospitality, was handed us in little cups.

The peculiar views of Amram may be said to represent very fairly the theology of his dying community. The world, he claimed, is about seven thousacd years old. For forty-five years men will goon increasing in wickedness, after which there will come a time of great peace and purity. Then there will come on a new period of consummate wickedness, which will last three hundred years. This time will be consummated by the total destruction of the world. After this the general judgment will take place, when the righteous will tro to live with God and the wicked with Satan. There are some people who have clean hearts, or at least

are acrepted as clean, though none are absolutely pure. Just here Amram looked off, as if in the distance, ana said, "God is one!" Here he intended a slight thrust at all christians, because of their emphasis on Christ and His divine char-

He spoke with interest of the rums on Mount Gerizim, and of the increase of his community within the last thirty years. He closed by expressing his firm belief that the time would come when the SamaritanB would be the most numerous body in the world.

Amram has since died, and the sedate son-in-law, being the eldest male relative, has succeeded him in the high-priest-hood —[Rev. John

DIGESTION AND 10VB-

The Former More Necessary to Existence Than the Latter. All things are not good to all men and all things are not always good to the same man. This was a point insisted on by the wise men of old, says a writer in Macmillan's Magazine. Bacon especially commends the advice of Celsus (whom he somewhat sarcastically observes must have been a wise man as well as a good physician), that "one of the great precepts of health and lasting" is "that a man do vary and interchange contrairies." The man who confines his studies within one unchanging groove will hardly find his intellectual condition so light and nimble, so free of play, so capable of giving and receiving as he who varies them according to his mood, for the mind needs rest and recreation no less than the body. It is not well to keep either always at high pressure. One fixed, unswerving system of diet, without regard to needs and seasons, or even to fancy, is not wise. One man has not always the same stomach any more than all men have the same stomach. What is grateful and nourishing at one time may be found insipid and even unwholesome at another.

Within the lines marked by experience it is well that the love of change, which is natural to all men, should be given full play. A too servile adherence to a system which has been found once beneficial in certain conditions may diminish or even destroy its value when those conditions return. The great secret of existence, after all, is to be the master and not the slave of both mind and body, and that is best done by giving both' free rein within certain limits which, as the old sages were universally agreed, each man must discover for himself.

Happy are the words of Addison and happily quoted:—"A continued anxiety for life vitiates all the relisheB of it and casts a gloom over the whole face of nature, as it is impossible that we should take delight in anything that we are every moment afraid of losing."

One of the best methods of avoiding that pitiful anxiety—that bloodthirsty clinging to life, which is, after all, perhaps not confined to the English middle class—is to learn within what limits we may safely indulge our desire for change, and then freely indulge it within them. "Ob, Sweet Fancy," saDg the poet.

Oh, sweet Fancy let her loose erything Is spoilt by use Where's the cheek that doth not fade. Too much gazed at? Where's the maid Whose life matures is ever new? Where's the eye, howe'er blue, Doth not weary? Where's the face One would meet in every place? Where's the voice, however soft. One would hear so very olt? And so we end as we began, by setting digestion in the place of love!

COMPANY COURT MARTIALEI).

The Indianapolis Liglit Infantry Refused To Wear Fatigue Uniforms. The entire Indianapolis light infantry company, except the first four officers— Captain Scott, Lieutenants Lowes and Conde, Sergeant McCrea—and Private Lowes have been placed under arrest and have been suspended to appear at court martial, says the Indianapolis News. This company, it will be recalled, did not appear in the parade on Thursday. It constitutes Company D, Second regiment, Indiana legion, and, as everybody knows, is one of the crack companies of the country. The order of arrest haB been issued by N. Ruckle, adjutant general of Indiana. "For insubordination, mutinous conduct, and conduct prejudicial to good order and military discipline," is the charge made. The court martial will convene at a date to be named hereafter.

The circumstances are these. The company at noon Thursday assembled at City hall armory according to orders. The company had agreed as an organization to appear in the parade in full drees uniform or not at all. "We have an organization separate from the state organization," said one of the members, and.did not feel ourselves bound by Adjutant General Ruckle's order to appear in fatigue uniform. We were in dress unifoim, and our officers refused to take us into the parade unless we put on the fatigue suits. This we all declined to do. We obtained an order from Chief Marshal Zollinger to Colonel Ruckle assigning us a position in the military division attired as we then were. Our captain, however, refused to act under this order. Consequently we did not march at all, and now comes the order of court martial. "Our dress uniforms were procured for juBt such occasions, and we can't understand why we should not be permitted to use them."

The order of court martial prohibits the offenders from attending any business meeting, drill or parade of the company, and directs them not to enter the armory.

Thirty-two men and non commissioned officers are involved, including Sergeants Russel, Eckman, Cobb, Martin and Mahan Corporals Mahoney, Douglass, Shirk and Isensee.

The Kentucky Feudal Troubles, LOUISVII-LF., August '21.—Judge Robert Boyd, of the Fifteenth judicial district, in which Harlan county is situated, came here to-day to request Governor Buckner to send troops to arrest Wilson Howard, leader of the band of outlaws that killed four citizens last~Tuesday.

Another conference will be held this afternoon, but Governor Buckner is of the opinion that a strong possee would do more good than troops.

A Typhoid Patient'e Deed. WOBUKN, Masa, August 24.—At 10:30 this morning, Fred S.

THE TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS, SUNDAY MORNING^ AUGUST 25, 1889.

THE MILLIONAIRE PARENT.

A Story of Romance, Persecution and False Imprisonment. CHICAGO, August 24.—To-day the remarkable case of George Dunning was given authoritative confirmation for the first time. In an interview held in the Joliet penitentiary, where Dunning is still confined, he himself tells the strange story which has been current for some time and which exhaustive inquiry in Chicago appears to have confirmed every detail. Dunning is an intelligent looking fellow, 23 years of age, with a smooth, rosy complexion, and an appearance that might take the fancy of almost any susceptible young girl. He was very reticent when asked about how he had been railroaded to the penitentiary, ostensibly for burglary, but really for having won the heart of a millionaire's daughter, and how the millionaire had afterwards been blackmailed by an editor who had ^learned the facts. Mr. Dunning was sentenced to four year's imprisonment and has seven months of it yet before him. The young fellow, whose fault in the millionaire's eyes seems to have been his humble station, said that the story regarding his meeting and acquaintance with the millionaire's daughter was a true one. Dunning was a newspaper circulator,handling a route on the north side. While in the pursuit of his calling he went to the millionaire's door early every morning and was surprised after a time to learn that he had become an object of interest to "the plutocrat's only daughter, a handsome young girl just entering society, and chaffing under the restraints that had been placed upon her. The lovers gradually came to meet about daybreak every morning for a few blissful moments at the dooc of the mansion. An inkling of the meetings reached the prospective father-in-law and young Dunning was soon afterwards called to south Chicago ostensibly to

Bee

a gentleman regarding

his sweetheart. While there he was met by Frank Allen, with whom he was slightly acquainted. Suddenly, as the two were standing together, officers came up and arrested them on a charge of burglary. Both were convicted and sentenced for four yerrs each. A few days later Allen's sentence.was reduced to one year, and after Dunning had been taken to the penitentiary Allen's sentence was cut down by the hocus pocus of a new trial, and he was released after a week in jail. When Dunning was arrested he was penniless and friendless, but the girl, who loved him, had sold her trinkets and hired a young lawyer to defend him. The millionaire, finding who was the lawyer bought him off, and the latter persuaded Dunning to plead guilty as the only chance of saving him from severe sentence. A hint of the real facts was obtained by the editor who subsequently figures in the story. The editor was at the time on the verge ot financial ruin, and instead of publishing the news, he promptly blackmailed the millionaire. Ten thousand dollars cash was the price of the newspaper man's silence. When the young unfortunate entered Joliet prison,.it is said,the officials were instructed to put him at the hardest and most trying kind of work in the penitentiary. Dunning was of slight build, and was soon badly used up, had a hacking cough, and in every way presented a sickly appearance. He could hardly talk a sentence without a severe fit of coughing. A police official who was an enemy of the editor, and for personal reasons, was running down the latter's part of the Btfair, and was horrified, on going to the pfison, to find the pitiable plight of Dunning. The police mogul used his influence with the officials in the penitentiary to have him removed from the quarters he was then in and lighter work WBB given him. At this time there had been two attempts to get Dunning pardoned, but for some reason th^y proved fruitless. Dunning was allowed to languish in prison despite every thing. Until today he appeared to fear to discuss his strange experience, thinking it would cause him trouble when he regains his liberty. When asked what had become of the lady, he stated that he had heard she was engaged and would soon be married to a Chicago man.

A TOWN OF DEATH.

ftloscow Visited by a Scourge of Diphtheria—A Great Mortality. CotA'.Miifs, Ohio, August 2-1.— Dr. Probst, of the state board of health, has just returned from the terribly scourged village of Moscow, a place of GOO inhabitants on the banks of the Ohio river. There are seventy-six cases of diphtheria, sixty-four children and twelve adults. There have been twelve deaths up to date, and before the week is over the doctor thinks there will be that many more. The village is up on the hills and is scattered along for about three fourths of a mile. There is plenty of pure air and it ought to be a healthy place, but the sanitary conditions are awfui the hog pens and outhouses have not been cleaned for years, and the stench is terrible in many parts of the town.

Fathers and mothers are Hying with their children for their lives and in this way the disease will undoubtedly be carried to other places. The three doctors of Moscow are working night and day, one^of them having forty

CBses.

Death frequently results from blood poisoning when the patient is apparently convalescing, sometimes an hour after the child is walking around. A board of health has been organized at Moscow and the town is now being cleaned.

Henry Pflzenmayer'a New Guest Departs With $350 or Hla Morey, Mr. Henry Pfizenmajer, who keepe a saloon and boarding-house at

SIT Wabash

avenue, went to a private money drawer in the second story of h?s house to get $250. The money had been taken by forcing open the drawer. Mr. Pfizenmayer had put the money into the drawer upon returning from Indianapolis, Friday, and had not had occasion to notice it until yesterday morning. The money must have been taken on Friday, because the house was not entered Friday night. Mr. P£zenmaer and the police suspect a man who gave his name as Henry Wendt, and who took lodging at the house on Thursday while Mr. PSzenmay6r was in Indianapolis. On Friday evening Mr. Pflzeninayer moved a stove, in doing which Wendt assisted him, and while Wendt was in the room upstairs, the money was put in the drawer, from which it was afterward stolen. After moving the stove, Wendt said that he would lie down and sleep for a while, as he was tired. At 4:30 p. m. be came down to the business room, engaged permanent lodging, and went to the depot, ssying that he would have his trunk sent to the house. Hp has not been seen since. For these reasons he is suspected as the thief. A man was arrested on suspicion, yesterday, but proved not to be Wendt. Wendt is a German, wears alight moustache, is of medium height, and represented himself to be a traveling man.
