Hy order ol the committee. (iKOK'it W. Kaius. Chairman.

Jsnao I'. Gray would have knowD better, and that'd why he is lautfhin in his sleeve now.

Judge William D. Kelley died last evening and in his death the country loses one of its most earnest and able public servant.

Reduction of expense and increase of revenue are far more important than refunding the bonded indebtedness.

It is very doubtful, indeed, if it would be wise financial policy to refund the debt. In any event per cent, is too high a rate of interest.

We do not believe Senator Voorheea intended to go aa far as he did in defease of Coy, who has recently been called a black-leg by the state organ of the party, but he has done so, and must abide by liis words, to the disgust of the Indianapolis Sentinel, Terre Ilaine Gazette nnd Evanaville Courier notwithstanding.

The Si, LouiB delegation which hod hearing before the senate's world fair committee on Wednesday left the committee room in a painful state of mind. Three eloquent speeches hod boen made only to elicit from Chairman lliscock a request for a proposition from the city. The chairman wanted to know about the money guarantee and the number and size of buildings the city would erect. Eloquent descriptions of the advantages of the city were good enough in their way but the committee wanted to talk business. The St. Louis people said they would get together and let the committee hear from them later.

The Chicago board of health is quar

commissioners, the latter insisting on shipping diseased cattle into the citj. The city's health commissioner says it "is a matter affecting nctonly the.health and reputation of the city of Chicago, but the health and prosperity of the country at large, since this is a point from which a large part of the dressed meat supply of the country is furnished and a large proportion of the cattle purchased for fattening purposes are pro cured." It occurs to one at this distance that this is rather a severe reflection on the men engaged iu the dressed beef business.

THE DUDLEY LETTER IN THE ELECTION. For the rest. hive to repeat what we have said before, that, without reference to the gonulneneis of the alleged Dudley letter, or the degree of criminality attached to It. If he wrote It. the letter lt»elf cut absolutely no llgure whatever In the Indiana election. Whether Its suggestions were In tended to be acted upon or not. they never were. It had no more effect on the election than If had never been written. Indianapolis Journal.

Tne day alter the publication of the letter Mr. HustoD. chairman of the Republican state committee, stated over his signature that the Dudley letter wrs in no respect authorized aim tha^ it had no pnrt in the Republican campaign iu this state. It was a wholly gratuitous proceeding on Dudley's part if he wrote it and The Exi'kk.^s has persistently asserted that the party should not be held responsible for hia act. Ceitainly the letter, if genuine, can not be upheld and it is a mistake on the part of any one who in any way gives party responsibility

to it. As the Indianapolis Sentinel hBS been the sponser of the Dudley letter and has been trying to make it appear that uho letter was upheld by the Republicans of

the

state, suppose now it tell us what it thinks of the Whittaker letter also how it reconciles Mr. \oorhees statement as to Coy with its own opinions of the trial of that political boss.

WHO IS RIGHT.

The Gazette, speakiDg of the Coy case, eaye: Had the Just rulings and the proper activity of Judge William A. Woods, as exhibited in the Coy trial, been followed In a multitude of cases which came before his court last year, there would be In the neighborhood ot two hundred political scoundrels In the penitentiary now.

In the senate Mr. Voorheea said: So Infamous were the rullflgs of Judge Woods which sent Coy to the penitentiary that the people, irrespective of party, spat upon them and put their ban upon them the first opportunity they had.

There is a remarkable contradiction in the views of the senator and his home organ. The newspapers which have been denouncing Judge Woods for his action in the election cases as well as in the Dudley case hare insisted that the judge should hove ruled as he did in the Coy case. They have maintained that had he done so many convictions would have followed, but here comes the senior Democratic senator who says those rulings were infamous.

The Washington correspondent of the St. Louis Republic "has done gone and done it." He says in his dispatch:

He 1 Edmunds read what purported to be a circular issued by the chairman of a Democratic county committee In Indiana, known as the "Martinsville letter,'' as showing that the Indiana Democrats were not averse to pursuing the same methods that Dudley adopted. De did not say. however, that the Martinsville letter, which he had read with such glee, was proved a forgery Immediately, and that a week after It appeared In print no Indiana Republican believed that it was other thaa a forgery.

Mr. Voorheea 6aid, according to the Associated Press report: is to the Martinsville letter published In

Thk

Tkhkk Hacte Expkk? It was "far less thau nothing.'' Therewas bo such letter: he had never heard of It before.

The correspondent of the St. Louis Republic had. Moreover, he knew that it bad beeu printed in the state and that it had been proved to be a forgery. This is not true. Whittaker never disowned it and no one asserted that it wks a forgery at the time but suppose the correspondent was right, would he not be making a tevere reflection on Senator Voorhees, who certainly ought to be well acquainted with political affairs in Indiana during a campaign?

EXCHANGE ECHOES.

Washington Star: What this country needs Is uniform divorce law or none at ail. Washington Press: The progress of real temperance reform Is commensurate with the decadence of paper prohibition.

Baltimore American: Three things that tills country needs are a national marriage law, a national divorce law, and a national bankruptcy law:

St. Louis Olobe-Democrat: The only difference between Senator Ciorman and the average Democrat on the ballot reform question Is that (toruian has the honesty to come out more or less openly In opposition to It.

Martha's Vineyard Herald: Congress Is thoroughly awakened. A bill Is to be passed Immediately to prevent members from being swindled out of their salaries. Strike a congressman's pocket, and his loyalty to duty comes to the surface at once.

Boston Herald: There Is one '.aw that has been enacted In several states, which seems to be a deader letter than the prohibition or the liquor traffic. That Is the law prohibiting the sale of cigarettes to manors. The Bales of cigarettes are said to be on the increase everywhere, and It Is Intimated that the legislation against them has rather stimulated the trade.

Philadelphia Inquirer: The proposal to whip the wife beater Is a good one. The objection that the whlnplng post Is a relic ot barbarism Is more than met by the fact that wife beating Is the worst form of barbarism and deserves to be punished accordingly. The use of the whipping post in the punishment of ordinary crimes is not desirable, but wife beating Is an outrageous crime that deserves to be made odious as far as possible, and no ordinary corporal punishment Is to severe for the offender.

JAY GOULD'S FIRST START.

jBy Gould is not in the habit of talking overmuch about his early career. But eight or ten years ago, while he wm negotiating the sale of a vary valuable piece of property here, which was not, however, a railroad property, he got into the habit of dining two or three times a week at Delmonico's and the Union League club and similar places around town, and having for companions his son George and a well-known business associate of his own, together with the gentlemen with whom the negotiations were in progress. These dinners usually occupied a couple of hours, and were followed by visits to the theater, and it is said that during this time Mr. Gould was more talkative and showed more enjoyment of what was going on than at any other time within the knowledge of his friends. It was at one of these dinners that Gould told of the first real start that he ever had in life.

As is pretty well known he was born at Strattoo's Falls, Delaware county, N. Y., in 183G, so that he is now 53 years of age. This is quite near Roxbury, a station on the Western Delaware railroad, and is in the Catskill mountains. Since the railroad was built this southern division of the Mountains has become overrun with summer boarde5 and the town where Gould first saw t: light ie populated in the Bummer tin by school teachers and dry goods cler. on a vacation, who pay about $6 a wet for their board. juld was the sor. of a farmer and a small store-keeper, and often complains now that his duties for many years consisted in milking the cows, making the complaint probably without reflecting that his experience in milking the cows may have helped him in milking thestree ..

He soon left this, however, and became a clerk in Squire Burhan's store at Roxbury, two miles from the falls. There is a ntory to the effect that young Gould left this employment after taking an essentially Wall street advantage of his employer. K's employer heard that there was a remarkably cheap piece of land to be purchased up in Albany and incautiously referrc-d to the fact in th« presence of his clerk. Gould, acoordiug to the etory, preceded to Albany at once, paid a small percentage on the land and then wanted to sell it to the country storekeeper at a further advance. Squire Burhan refused to buy and a quarrel was the result. The etory is not true as here related, but there is probaDlv in it a grain of truth.

The anecdote related by Gould himself, to which reference has been made, belongs to his career as a surveyor. He started out, with a surveyor well known in theCatskill region, acting as apprentice, carrying instruments and frequently acting as a specioB of advance agent for his new employer. His employer gave him little or no salary, and, instead of advancing him money for his expenses, directed him to get nis meals and his lodging at the farmers' nouses along the way. The young man consented to the arrangement readily enough, and was quite contented until he began to find out that bis employer's credit was not quite so good as to make the ssking of board and lodging tantamount to getting it. In many cases he was refused and had to trudge on, perhaps at unseasonable hours, to the next house.

One day at dinner time he found himself near a very substantial looking farm house, and as his pockets were empty and his stomach empty tor?, be determined to get bis dinner first and discuss the matter of payment for it in the financial responsibility of his employer later on. He found the family just eitting down to dinner, and, after a few words of explanation, sat down with them and did justice to the meal, which only a hungry man can do. When he had satisfied his appetite and everybody had risen from the table, and the farm hands returned to work, he told the landlady who he was and mentioned the fact that bis employer would settle the bill when he came along that way.

This arrangement seemed to be perfectly satisfactory, and Gould, fearing that "she might recall her agreement (confirmed in the contract), put on his hat and eta-ted for the garden gate leading out into the road. He had only compassed about half the distance when he heard the woman's voice calling him. Gould's itetant thought was that the wife had consulted with the hujiband, and discovering the financial irresponsibility of hia employer was determined to have a cash settlement. His first impulse wa* to take to hia heels and it possible get away. Bafore he had been quite able, however, to make up his mind the old lady's band was upon his shoulder, and when he turned around he determined to face the music. "Look here, young mun," said the farmer's wife, "uiake noon-mark on the porch."

A noon-mark, it may bo mentioned, is a sp&cies of dial enabling the woman at the farm to know when the noou hour comes around that the horn may be blown for dinner. The young survey.' responded that lis could make a no.. mark, and proceeded forthwith to do ?. When the work was completed the r' 1 lady aeked him how nuich h_e wou'd charge for it, ana he told her 76 cents. The dinner he had eaten was valued at35 cents, so that he paid for hie dinner and got 40 cents change. As he walked off again without any fear, however, this time of being called back, the thought naturally occurred to him that here at least was chance to get hie dinner and perhaps make a little money besides If the farmer's wife, whom he had jr.st left, needed a noon-mark, there must be other farmers' wives through the country all needing noon-marks, and there seemed to be no reason why he shouldn't supply the deficiency.

This was Jay Gould's first start in life, and the first money that he earned of any accouut was made out of these noonmarks outlined on the porches of the farm.houses through the Catskill mountains." With the money thus made he went more exclusively into surveying, thence into the tannery business and finally into the Vermont raiirosd, where he made the money with which he cati:« down into Wall street. A man who knows Gould's early life very well said the other day that when Gould came into the street in 1864 or 18(55 he had $800.000.— I New Tork World.

FREDERICK WARDE TELLS A STORY.

A Texas Audlance Wanted Virginian to Do More Killing. Frederick Warde, the tragedian, who is just now playing over at the Haymarket, says the Chicago Herald, has met with many queer experiences during his long career upon the stage, and no one can relate these experiences as he can. On one occasion he wao playing "Virginius" in a Texas town of the "one night stand" brand, and the large audience was very appreciative, applauding every point. At the close of the performance Mr. Warde hurried to his dressing room and was arrayed in hie street clothes in short order. As he crossed the stage to reach the outer door he happened to pause and glanc 3 out through one of the peep-holes in the curtain. Imagine his great surprise when he saw the large audience still in their seate. Just then the local manager entered through one of the box doors and the tragedian asked him why the people were waiting. "I wondered about that myself," said the manager, who had witnesc3d "Virginius" before, "and I inquired. Bill Adams, the constable and Jim Stubbe, who is our cornet player, say they're waiting for you to kill off the rest of the actors." Mr. Warde did not know whether or not to consider this a compliment to hia company, but he says that if his actors had not already doffed their costumes he would have had the curtain rung up and killed the rest of them off to oblige his aanguiuarv Texas admirers. For ought he knows that audience may be sittirg there yet.

CATHOLIC KNIGHTS OF AMERICA.

»!«•'. to Organize a Uniform Kauk—A(l,drtsK» sat Indianapolis. Delegates from the various councils of the Indiana department of the Catholic Knights of America are meeting at the Grand hotel, Indianapolip, and considering the advisability of forming a uniform rank branch of the order. About thirty delegates, representing councils of Ft. Wayne, South Bend, La Porte, Eransville, Jeffersonville, New Albany and other places are here. The organization is a strong one in Indiana. The parent organization was formed in Kentucky fifteen years ego, its object being the social and intellectual advancement of its members, and to secure the beneflta to be derived from life insurance on the mutual plan. The membership is over 20,000.

Recently councils hnve established uniform ranks, and the objsct of this maeting is to legalise this new branch, and to agree upon a plan for the organization of uniformed companies in all councils where there is a desire to do bo.

Li3t evening the delegates to the meeting were entertained socielly at Masonic hall by the local council. An address of welcome was delivered by Mayor Sullivan, responded to by C. J. Murphy, ot Evansville. There were addresses by the Rt. Rfv. Bishop Chatard, the R*v. Francis Haase and President P. S. O'Rourke.

TYLER GRIP.'

How the Epidemic or 1843 BeeelTed That Name. Dr. Israel Green, of Mount Vernon, Ohio, whojwhena young*naan, 20 years of age, suffered in 1843 with "la grippe," called attention to a recent paragraph in the New York Tribune, in whioh the disease is discussed, and which says that "Why the diseaee was the 'Tyler grip,' history and the ancient men omit to say." "I can give you the explanation," said Dr. Greene. "'The 'grip' made its appearance here in the aummer of 184.3, while Mr. Tyler was president. After Mr. Tyler left the Whig party he became very unpopular with Whigs ss well as Democrats. Bunker Hill monument was completed and the dedication wss set for June 17. Mr. WebBter, who delivered the oration when the corner-stone was laid ten years before, was to deliver the dedicatory oration, and President Tyler and his cabinet were invited to be present. On the 17th or 18th of June, Hugh S. Legare, Tyler's attorney general, who was suffering from a severe attack of the 'grippe,' died, his being the only fatal case in th9 country, from that time, in derision of Mr. Tyler, the disease was called 'Tyler's grip,' because people S3id it was enough to kill anybody."
