Mr. Voorheea is in a hurry about making hie .new tariff apeech. The dispatches this morning announce the speech for some day this week. It is to be hoped for Indiana's sake that it will be an improvement on the bloodthirsty display at Bedford.

The modest proposition of the Washington people who want the 1S92 exposition held in that city is for congress to appropriate 815,000,000 which is to be refunded to the government out of any money received over and above expenses. This means that the government would not bo reimbused to the amount of a dollar.

If Mayor Shakespeare of New Orleans kas enough sense to take a kind hint he will not press the matter of lowering the liag over the war department out of respect to the memory of JefT Davis. At the time of his d9ath JefT Davis preferred not to be a citizen of the country in which he was educated at public expense.

Our Souther friends who now have so much to say in praise of JefT Davis for Jaia "manly" acceptance of the concentrated malignancy of the North for their eakes seem to have forgotten the fact that JefT wasn't very "manly" in his effort to run away at the close of the war. lie showed no bravery then. He was not desirous of continuing in the posi tion of leader of the Southern people.

It is very easy to believe the version of the revolution in Brazil as given by the emperor's son-in-law printed this morning. It had been inexplicable to the people of this country that a people who were ruled over by Dom Pedro should suddenly change from their worship of him and force him into exile. It can readily be understood that the people might have cheered the emperor and sustained him on the throne if he had made known to them that such was his desire, but when the military conspirators had sent him out of the country, which was done in great haste, the people knowing that he would not desire reinstatement at the cost of bloodshed, acqaiesed in the revolution. Besides they had come to believe that a republican form of government was not far away and they saw that their emperor was of the same belief.

tulge Frazier at Warsaw has decided that the school book law is constitutional that additional duties can be imposed on trustees without providing compensation therefor that the state may prescribe what books shall be used in the common schools but that "where the schools were supplied with a suflicient number of books for the use of the pupils therein, which were in all respects equal to the new series, and satisfactory to pupils, patrons and teachers, and their use approved by the trustee, the law does not require him tO'certify the number of books required for use to the county superintendendt." This would seem to bo good common sense as well as good law. That the pupils, patrons and teachers were desirous of using the new and cheaper books is no longer disputed except by the paid agents of the old trust fraud.

In another column in thia morning's iBSue will be found the call of the liepublican state committee for county and district organization. It is ordered that Republicans meet, in school district or precinct, by township or county delegate meeting, or mass convention, or in such other manner as may be designated by the county committee, on January 11th to elect a county committeeman for each precinct and to elect delegates to the proper district conventions. The county committeemen are to meet at the county seat on January lS:h and elect the ofiicers and executive committee. The necessity for an early and eflicient organization of committees is recognized by all who witnessed the good results of the policy last year and in 1SSG. 1-jarly organization is uearly half the tight. The many details incident to the opening of a campaign such as we are to have in Indiaua next year must be arranged months before the battle opens.

:iT READS LIKE A ROMANCE.

The recent assassination of General Corona in Guadalajara recalls many interesting and romantic facts in the life of that brave soldier, says the San Francisco Examiner.

In the spring of 1SG6 the life of the republic of Mexico was at a very low ebb. Napoleon's plan to supplant the existing form of government by a monarchy, with Maximilian, grand duke of Austria, as emperor, was almost successful. The City of Mexico and all its approaches were occupied by the French army. The Pacific coast was guarded by a French fleet. In the open roadstead before Mazatlan three French men-of-war had complete command of the harbor, and the town was occupied by French troops, whose cruel and uneoldierly conduct struck terror into the hearts of the population of the surrounding country. The prospects for the survival of the Mexican republic were gloomy enough. Her armies had been defeated and routed. Her president was a fugitive. Absolut# despair pervaded the whole country. At this time Corona was a clerk in a Mazatlan mercantile house.

This young man, although unlearned in military tactics, wholly inexperienced in handling large force* of men, conceived the bold idea of raising a body of volunteers to expel the French from Sinaloa. He organized a company of scouts which he enlarged by the addition of hardy mountaineers and desperadoes until in the course of a couple of months he had a full brigade.

A short distance from Mazatlan is a small village named Verames. In the church of this village some French troops were quartered. Corona attacked them, drove them out and left a detachment of Mexican boys to hold the place. When he had gone the French returned, stormed the church, and captured and killed the entire garrison. When this news reached Corona be hastily retraced his steps, retook the church, and in his turn killed every one of the Frenchmen.

At this time the arrival of the American troops, who were anxious to aid their sister republic in her struggle against the infamous tactics of Napoleon, inspired the fast-fading hopes of the Mexican government with new lite. Their appearance seemed to exercise an electrifying influence on the whole nation.

The Mexican army was reinforced by volunteers from all parts, and in a short time the army of the republic was ready to begin its march on Queretaro, where the imperial army determined to make its final stand. General E^cobedo, the commander-in-chief of the Mexican forces, had command of one wing of the army, while General Corona commanded the other. Seventy days did the siege of Queretaro lust. At dawn of day on May loth, 1867, the final attack was made by Corona's left wing. The imperial forces hud been greatly weakened by the long siege some 4,000 men had perished, either in battle or by starvation. The defenses had been severely battered by the incessant bom bardment of the besieging army the non arrival of expected aid from the French government caused the spirits of Muximilliam and his generals to droop. The imperial army was so demoralized that they compelled Maxmillt'.n to hoist the white Hag just about daylight, ond before the sun was well above the horizon General Corona received the surrender in person.

But the life of no hero is complete without its tale of love, and it, is no more than meet aud proper that the brave general through whose efforts more than through those of any one else that the republic of Mexico was saved should also have his little encounter with Cupid. lu the early days of San Francisco, when what is now th® corner of Kearny andMarkot streets was far beyond the city limits, there lived on Jackson street, near Montgomery, an old Irishwoman who earned her living by washing and ironing. At that time, before the Chinese laundries were such a common institution, and when "two bite" was the least tnat was paid for & single piece, that was a very profitable business. A daughter, named Betsy, was the only relative that this Irish laundress had. She was a beautiful, bright, witty girl of charming manner, all of which attractive features developed and matured as she grew older. When she reached the age of 11 she was sent to the Benicia female academy by a gentleman who had known her as a girl, and who began to feel a deeper interest in her as she developed into a young lady. Her benefactor and admirer was Samuel Bowman, who, together with John A. McGlynn, owned the omnibus line that ran out to Mission Dolores. After a four years' course at the academy, Betsy graduated with high honors, endowed with varied accomplishments and personal charms that were calculated to captivate even the coldest of the sterner eex. To cut a long story short, Mr. Bowman, who was then 43, married his protege, who was only IS.

In 1SC4 the effects of the rebellion began to tell out here also. Sam Bowman's business was not in a flourishing condition. He tore up stakes and went to Mnzttthn, where he established a hotel on the American plan, with great success. The relined taste of his wife showed itself in every nook and corner. The rooms were simply yet comfortably furnished. The meals that were served were of the very best. The hotel was soon patronized by all the elite of the town. But the chief attraction was Mrs. Betsy Bowman, the charming and witty hostess, whose beauty had given her a reputation for miles around.

The French officers made their headquarters at the hotel while they occupied the city, and when they were driven out Generul Corona also lived thare. He was a handsome man of commanding appearance, fully six feet high, and had black eyes that flashed like burning coals. The dashing and chivalrous conqueror of the French was fascinated by his beautiful hostess, and, while it is not known whether she, during the lifetime of her husband, reciprocated the deep love that Corona manifested for her, it cannot be denied that she showed great admiration for the man whose praises were so deservedly sounded by the whole nation.

Iu the course of time Corona was obliged to go to Chihuahua and later to Queretaro, where he achieved such a decided and magnificent victory. The llime that had been kindled in the hero's heart was fanned by a lively correspondence with Mrs. Bowman, who was now a widow, her husband having died of dropsy. So intense did the soldier's passion become that, while he was in camp hundreds of miles from Mazatlan he insisted on instant marriage by proxy and the lady consenting, the solemn rite was performed.

Some four or five years ago he was elected governor of the state of Jalisco, but somehow failed to make himself

popular with a large section of the inhabitants, and it is thought that his recent assassination was due chiefly to more or less ill-feeling that he had incurred.

AMUSEMENTS.

The sale of seats commences this morning for the big amusement event next Wednesday night, Rice & Dixey's world famous production, the "Pearl of Pekin," and judging by the inquiries for same during the week the sale will be the largest on record. To take all the greatest critics and all the largest cities of America as a criterion the house should b» entirely sold out before tfie doors open, foraurely few performances of this kind have ever been seen here, and it is safe to say will not be seen here ogain for many a day.

Miss Victoria Vokes will present two delightful comedies to-morrow evening at Naylor'e, 'The Rough Diamond" and "llubbv." The company supporting Miss Vokes is a capable one. Ths engagement will be quite a fashionable event.

POLYTECHNIC NOTES.

THE TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS, MONDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 9, 1889.

JUDGE MACK AS A PRACTITIONER.

A Complaint That He Is Depriving Attorneys of Fees.

Judge Mack is getting hjmself into trouble with the attorneys again. He has been accused by almost every attorney at the bar of "practing law," and that term has become a by-word among the attorneys. But during the last term of court he visited New York and Tennessee, and had not much time left for outside practice in law, but he is doing less vifciting thiB term of court and is reviving his practice. Recently an estate was" to be settled in court—the estate of the minor heirs of Rebecca Norton, colored. The estate was small, but there was a fee in it for a certain young attorney who had been consulted by the heirs concerning other legal matters as well as concerning the estate. As often happens, the heirs spoke to Judge Mack about it, and as happens equally often, Judge Mack advised and encouraged them to call again. He told them what to do to get the matter properly into court and recommended an agreement of all the parties among themselves as to the divisions of property and told them to then call on him and he would, complete the settlement for them. The settlement of the estate involved the divisions of some land. The judge's advice was good and was thankfully received. The heirs agreed upon a guardian and upon the division of property. They then called upon their adviser, Judge Mack, and he wrote out a description of the property and the apportionment to the several heirs. It was then necessary to enter the case on the entry docket of the circuit court and to tile with the clerk a description of the property as apportioned to the heirs. The guardian took the udge's description to the clerk to have this work done. As 600n ae the practiced eye of the clerk glanced at the instrument drawn by the much practiced but unskilled hand of Judge Mack he saw that Judge Mack had made a material error. The clerk corrected it as he was bound to do to protect'the heirs from serious and complicated difficulties and so the matter progressed until it is now but a matter of time until the state shall be settled.

In the mean time the young attorney awaited his client impatiently. Accidentally he saw the record of the case on the entry docket and accidentally he learned how it came there. Thereupon he delivered unto the judge the following brief speech: "Judge, I am not particularly offended that you should win casos from me in court but I object to you taking fees away from me. That case you put through court was my case and I should have had a small fee out of it. To this the judge thus answered: "Well, I would not bave done it but they came up here late in the evening and I wus in a hurry." But it so happened that when Judge Mack delivered to the heirs the preliminary advice, some one in the court room heard him instruct the heirs to call ogain at the proper time and he would put the matter through for them. But Judge Mack has practiced this kind of thing until the attorneys have become greatly incensed and talk about it considerably. An attorney recently called the attention of an' EXPRESS man to section 2.019 of the revised statutes of Indiana, 1881, which is as follows:

Whoever, being a judge of any supreme, circuit, superior or criminal court, directly or Indirectly practices law In any of the courts of this state or gives counsel or advice in relation to any business In said courts, or In the sapreme court in relation to any case appealed from ills court or keeps an office for the transaction of legal business or for the purpose of giving counsel or advice in legal matters, shall be lined In any sum not more than $500 nor less than §25.

The attorney who referred to this sec tion seemed not to doubt that Judge Mack was finable under this section be cause he practiced law indirectly if not directly, and he undoubtedly gave counsel and advice in relation to the bueiness of the court. "He has done thia," said th« attorney, "until he hos destroyed the most lucrative and most agreeable part of the profession—office practice. Office practice is the most lucrative because it is the most readily attended to and cases can be settled out of court. It is best for both clients and attorneys because it is the means of curtailing expenses for the clients by keeping them out of court, and saves time for attorneys who can thus attend to more business."

The mo6t significant fact in this connection is that almost every attorney at the bar condemns Judge Mack for his conduct, and to their condemnation we will append substantially this remark: "Do not mention my name in this matter, because I have business in his court., and he will make me suffer for it." What they mean by that remark can not be mistaken. The county officers have expressed themselves with equal positivenessconcerning the eminent jurist.

HEAVY FIRE LOSSES.

Nearly a Ouarler of a Million in a FiveStory iSuiUlln£.

NEW YOKK, December 8.—Fire broke out this morning in the basement of the five-story building 3G east Fourteenth street and soon fenveloped the building.

JEFF DAVIS.

Funeral Arrangement*—Secretary Proctor and the War Department flag.

NEW ORLEANS, December 8.—Many churches held memorial services in honor of Jefferson Davis to-day, principally the Protestant Episcopal, Catholic, Methodist and Presbyterian. Bishop Keener, of the Methodist Church, related anecdotes of the deceased, and especially as a visitor to the annual seashore camp meeting. It is the bishop's intention to have the funeral services take place on the broad portico of the city hall. Lafayette square stretches out in front, and many people could then witness the rites. The body will be taken to the cemetery, a distance of about three miles on a caisson, and the vast procession will walk all the way. The sombre drapery of mourning is spreading over the city. To day the shipping dipped its flags, the British steamships especially putting their flags at half-mast.

COMPANY BS RIFLE PRACTICE.

The Score Sliows What practice Will Accomplish.

Company C's rifis team and several new recruits to the team from the unskilled members of the company shot in target practice at their range west of the river yesterday. The distance was 200 yards. Several spectators witnessed the practice. The following is the score:

N'AMKS. Score. Total. Captain J. W. Eliel..' 4 4 14 3-19 Private Henry Haller 4 2 2 4 4 —10 Private Henry Ironsmlth 3 2 2 4—14 Lieutenant J. T. Trlche 2 3 2 2 3—12 Sergeant A. T.

Private Hippelshauser's score is unusually low, but he did not shoot but three times. He' was not in practice and made the spectators scatter when he would shoot because, although his aim must have b6en accurate, his rilie must have been in bad condition He did not shoot the last two shots. The last five men in the list are recruits, and the score shows what practice will accomplish. The rifle team is contemplating a match .with a company either from Brazil, Crowfordsville or Sullivan, and if the weather indications should be favorable an effort will be made to arrange a match with one of these companies soon. It is probable that correspondence with one of these companies will be opened this week.

SELLING HIDES.

During the fall and winter, more or less beef is butchered on the farm and the hides are sold. It is quite an item to pack properly for market. If it is to be dry-cured, soon as skinned.it should be thrown over a beam or pole in a loft or shed where it will be kept dry. The ekin side should be left out, and it should hang until perfectly dry. If the work is done properly and the hide is not injured in any way, the class of hides bring the highest price, but there is a large loss in weight in drying out. The more common way of selling hides is to sell just as they come from the animals. Care must always be taken in skinning not to cut the hide as a hole in the hide will cause a loss of from one-fourth to one-third in value. After it is taken from the carcass the hide should be spread out evenly over the ground with the skin side up take off the tail, throw in the legs and the head, laying down smooth then throw in again until the, edges meet in the center, making a double fold. The next time fold together. Then begin 10'ling at the tail end and tight to a little past the center and then commence at the head and roll to this point loy in or roll on top of the other and then tie tight. If it is to be kept, even for a few days before selling, it should be salted well, taking pains to rub the salt well into the hide with the feet. Then roll up and tie the same as before. If plenty of salt is used there is very little danger of the hide spoiling. If the hide is small it need not be folded so" much, for in the first fold the feet and legs can be thrown over further, and one more fold will be all that is necessary. While very few merchants will buy a bide without examining It, yet it is desirable to have in as good condition to handle as possible. A bull hide, or one that has holes in it from the warble fly, or that is cut in skinning, always sells at less price than a first class hide. Taking the risk into consideration, it will generally be better to sell as soon as possible after it is removed.
