GENERAL Benw mi" Harrison has written a letter to Chan-man John Gowdy, of the State Central Committee in which he positively declines to be a candidate for the presidential nomination. Gen. Harrison concludes his letter as follows: 'My Indiana friends have been most devoted and faithful, and I am their grateful debtor. The Republican party has twice in national convention given me its indorsement, and that is enough. I think the voters of our party are now entitled to have a new name. For the sentiment, great or small, that has been manifested for my nomination I am grateful and of that wider respect and kindness—brev.kiDg party lines—which have been shown me in so many ways, I am profouudly appreciative. "I cannot consent that my name be presented to or used in the St. Louis convention, and must kindly ask my friends to accept this as a sincere and final expression upon the subject."
BENJAMIN HARRISOX.
To those who know Gen. Harrison— that means exactly what it says. There is no string to it. He does not want the nomination and says so, but is profound" ly grateful for all past favors and the loyalty with which Indiana was now supporting him. Hancock county was for Harrisun first, last and all the time, but now the great majority of our citizens favor Wm. McKinley. Reed andjAllison have strong friends, but the masses are for McKinley. As a State, Indiana will be divided between McKinley and Allison, probably with a scattering delegate or two for Reed.
No branch of our government is more worthy of respect than the judicial. That our courts may err no one can deny. But to take the judiciary of the United States, and we mean all the parts of that branch of the government and it stands after a century freeest from bias,* prejudice and fraud. Presidents governors and many subordinate executive officers have and are frequently influenced by pergonal and political interests in their offlciel acts, Fraud and scandal are often ccupled with legislative acts. It can be said with credit to the judiciary, that courts have seldom been accused of fraud.
The recent decision of the Indiana Supreme Court, while .the immediate results are against the Republican party, is nevertheless right. It vinditates the position of the Republican party upon the question of gerrymandering. It is unfortunate, indeed, that it compels the people of the State to hold an election under the law of 1885 which is as unfair as any gerrymander ever made in the State. The Governor could call the legislature together and pass a fair apportionment act, but he is not broad and liberal enough to do so. With a Republican legislature and a Democrat Governor we should be able to secure a fair apportionment. If Governor Matthews were to call the legislature together he would show h'mself to be a man above the mass of his party

The Republicans can and will carry the legislature under the 85act if the election is held under that law but the proper thing to do would be to call a specit.l session of the legislature and reappoition the State.

What The Press Says
When Mrs. Gen. Tom Thumb, Miss Jennie Quigley, the Count Magri and tbe Baron Magri, the four clever little people comprising the American LUliputians, marched "front and center" upon the raising of the curtain at the Grand last night, they were met with a burst ot appl&use from a well filled house. Then four little heads bowed gracefully and from that moment the audience was theirs. No matter what they did—sing, dance, talk, waltz, fence, box, imitate— it was all one. It was amusing and de cidedly clever. At the glance no one would ever accuse Count Magri of being proficient in vocal art, but when in the dainty midget comedy, "T^o Rivals," b'ult to fit its cast, he struck up "I Have Sighed to Rest Me," from II Trovatore, and the baron joined in the exquisite duet, the effect was electrifying. But. the program held a still greater surprise, Miss Jennie Quigley proved a veritable Lilliputian nightingale and imparted so much of sparkle and sweetness inf her catchy little songs that nothing would do but that she must recurn to the stage the third time. Her's will be an ovation at today's matinee. Mrs. Gen. Tom Thumb also caaie in for a share ot the vocalist's honors. When she sang "I'm 63," just as she had sung it for 6,000 times before, prolonged applause demanded an encore. The specialties and specialty people carried by the company were, upon the whole, excellent. Mme. Trazom was introduced in some astounding so called hypnotic feats, and the three Les Freres Renos are proficient fellows in contortion and knock about acrobatic turns. The engagement terminates with tomorrow night's performance, and it is to be regretted, for the company is unqualifiedly the most entertaining lot of entertainers which has appeared at the Grand this year.—Indianapolis Journal.

PROGRESSIVE DINNER PARTIES.
tbe
Revival of an Entertainment That Promotes Sociability.
Frances E. Lanigan in Ladies' Home Journal writes that the progressive dinkier party has experienced a revival this Mvinter and is once more established in fashionable favor. As 1896 is a leap year the dinner is now arranged so that the men remain in their original seats throughout the meal, while the women progress with the courses. The first announcement that the dinner is in any respect different from the ordinary ceremonial meal of society is in the appearance at the host's place of a small silver bell, which he rings at the conclusion of each course, and in the quotations npon the guest cards, the line given to the lady occupying the seat of honor— the right of thehost—being, "Westward the course of empire takes its way,'' thus indicating the direction of the progression. Thi! other ladies' guest cards may read: "All things journey we go with them," "Press bravely onward," "Let us then be up and doing," "Onward, onward may we press," "A lovely apparition sent to be a moment's ornament.
For the cards of the men, who retain their original seats throughout the meal, the following quotations will serve: "How happy could I be with either were t'other dear charmer away!'' "Welcome the coming, speed the going guest," "We must endure their going hence, even as their coming hither," "Variety's the very spice of life, ""It is something to get this far if one is not permitted to go farther," "Stay in that station in which you have been placed."
The rule to be observed by the hostess is that she must have as many courses for her dinner as she has couples present. This is made necessary by the fact that the progressions are made with the courses, and that the round must be completed with the end of the dinner. She should of course aim to arrange so that the people who are most congenial shall be partners during the longest courses—the roast and the dessert. This may be easily arranged by placing them two or three courses apart at tho beginning of the dioner.
G. A. Sala's Career.
I first made the acquaintance of Q. A. Sala about 30 years ago, and I have known him well ever since. I always found him a perfect encyclopedia of knowledge, coupled (which is rare) with a keen sense of humor. No man probably wrote more "copy" in his life than he did and few more readable.' His mode of writing was curious. He had a vast amount of collected notes on all matters carefully indexed. These he would consult. Then lie would walk up and down the room for a time, after which he would write or dictate without pause. I have heard him make very many good speeches, conceived on the same lines as his articles. He had at times a strong desire to enter the house of commons, but I somewhat doubt whether he would have succeeded there.
Always occupied on the press and on the magazines, he managed occasionally to write a novel. They were really very good novels, and if he had turned his attention more exclusively to novel writing he would have run Charles Dickens and other masters of the art close. In business matters he was a mere child. He earned a great deal of money, he was not extravagant, and yet he never seemed to have any. In his first wife he was fortunate in finding not only an amiable and beautiful woman, but a woman of business, and she was a terrible loss to him. It is satisfactory to think that he was well cared for in his last sickness owing to the kindness and liberality of the proprietors of The Daily Telegraph, with which newspaper he had been so long connected.—London Truth.
Russian Sable.
Russian sable owes its warmth and gloss to the fact that the longer hairs, as well as the under fur, are absolutely uniform in size and "section." Thus, the sable tail makes a perfectly proportioned natural pendant to the skin when used as a cape, and the whole skin has the unity of a manufactured fabric, with the other qualities only found in natural fur. This pre-eminence of sable fur gives it a value in the most minute quantities. The longer hairs, or surplus pieces of the fur, are carefully saved and made into the best paint brushes, which always "keep a point," and in the colormen's catalogues the price of these brushes is only approximately fixed and varies according to the price of sables.
Sealskin and beaver fur are not only softer, but warmer than any of the furs which, at first sight, seem to approach them closely in color and texture. Hareskin can be clipped and dyed so as to resemble sealskin, but eve?j| if lined with wool it does not approach the pelagic fur in warmth or in luster. The wonderful fineness of the under fur of the seal causes it to hold minute quantities of air in the infinitely small interstices between the hairs, and while the air inclosed is warmed by contact with the body the fur is a nonconductor to the cold from without.—London Spectator.
A Church With bat One Member.
There is a Baptist church at Cornish, Me., which now reports only one member. It is one of the oldest churches in the country, having been organized in 1792. Zion's Advocate declares that.the church has not had a pastor for many years, but its members have regularly contributed to our denominational benevolences and maintained their organization. Notwithstanding the opportunities which offer themselves to the membership of this organization, the one member holds but one office, that of church.
