HOPE REPUBLICAN. By Jay C. Smith. HOPE INDIANA ■L.'.Ll'.iLJ J~ 1 NaDAB ChUNDER MOOZAMBARjfrom “India’s coral strand," was in attendance at the Parliament of Religions at Chicago, last month, and made a aide trip to Indianapolis, where he make an address before the Contemporary Club in defense of Buddhism. Mr. Moozambar is a high-class Hindoo, and a man of great learning. It seems certain that the World’s Fair will officially cease to exist on the last day of October, and the melan holy disintergration of the greatest and most attractive aggregation of useful, ornamental and elevating influences ever assembled on the footstool will set in. People who have been procrastinating and deferring their visit from any cause, hoping that the time of the exposition would by some means be extended, will do well to ‘‘stand not on the order of their going, but go at once,” before it is everlastingly too late. The autumn flies are falling and the ‘skeeters’ getting skeercer, the horses’ coats are thickening and the colts are getting fiercer, the pigs are getting fatter and the spring chickens are a frying, the turkeys arc a gobbling and sweet ’taters are a lying in ridges on the uplands where all the vines are dying, the corn in shocks is gathered and the yaller punkins nestled in. heaps behind the cow sheds wherein the stock is -hustled, the apples are a drying all strung beneath the rafters, or fill the bins in glory—the pride of all the grafters—the cider from the presses in amber torrents floweth, the farmer in the wheat fields the golden grain now soweth. the birds are going southward in droves or frightened coveys, the wild geese high are sailing like a review of navies, the maple leaves in splendor their colors are a turning, the frightful heat of summer has ceased its wonted burning, the twilight shades come settling down on the land so early, that supper must be eaten by lamps or candles pearly, the summer tourists wearied have ceased their wistful roaming, and all the tand is ready for the annual harvest homing, the frosty air and breezes makes life seem worth the living, so let us all get ready for turkey and Thanksgiving. Probably not one person in ten thousand of the millions of delighted people who have passed the gates of of Jackson Park into the wonderland that burst in glory on their enraptured vision know to whose genius) they are indebted for a privilege so rare and in every way beneficial. ■Now that the end is drawing near, and the certainty that the dream of beauty there embodied will soon have vanished “like the baseless fabric of a vision, leaves not a wrack behind,” all will be glad to know and honor the man to whose wonderful mind their pleasure hasbeen due. Frederick Law Olmsted’s bold imagination and skillful business ability to bring to a practical end his ideas of landscape gardening and noble architecture has placed his name far up in the temple of fame as a genius who has undoubtedly given more pleasure to a larger number of his fellow men than has been the fortune of other men of-great ability to confer. All honor to such a man is due, and his detractors will be surely few. Mr.Olmsted was-born in Hartford, Conn., in 1822, and in early life was for years a sailor before the mast and a world wide adventurer. Finally, settling down, he turned his attention to architecture and landscape gardening and became an authority on these matters. At the inception of the improvement of Central Park, New York, he was appointed superintendent, and gave his undivided attention to that great work for years, with the most gratifying results, as is well known to all who have been sc fortunate as to view that great pleas ure ground. The wonderful crea tions at Jackson Park are the crowning triumph of his genius, but unlike his work at Central Park wil : not remain as enduring monuments to his fame as an artist.

A LITTLE WAR. A Spanish Fort in Morocco Besieged. The Hostile Moors Outnumber the Spanish Forces and Kill Eighteen. A cable from Madrid, Tuesday, says: The Spanish authorites recently decided to add to the strength of the fortifications at Mellila, on the north coast of Morocco. The work was begun and pushed forward rapidly, This incensed the Moors and Monday morning a force of more than 0,000 natives attacked the Spanish garrison of 400 souls. The Spanish troops had no food, but this was a matter of small consequence to them, as they knew that death or slavery awaited them should they be captured. They fought desperately. The white residents of the tDwn organized a force and took part In the defense. They were greatly outnumbered by the Moors, however, and were finally compelled to retire into the fortress, located on the outskirts of the town, wjhere they are now still besieged. Daring the battle eighteen of the Spaniards were killed and thirty-five wonded, including throe officers. The Spanish gunners at one time directed their fire upon a omsque and almost completely destroyed It. Other buildings In the range of their fire were also destroyed. Northern Morrocco has been greatly excited by the news of tho attack and the fanaticism of the inhabitants is being aroused by Mohammedan demands for revenge upon the “infidels” for destroying the mosque. The situation is critical. The government has announced that it will immediately dispatch a war ship to Tangiors to demand Irom the Sultan full and instant reparation for the outrage upon the Spaniards. Tho cabinet will meet Tuesday, and it Is expected that orders will be issued for the sending forthwith to Melilla of a strong military force to punish the Moors. A TERRIBLE TKAtibUT Oscar Darnall Shoots HU Betrothed and Kills Himself. A terrible tragedy occurred at Jamestown, Wednesday morning at an early hour. It involves two of the most prominent and influential families in Boone county. For some time past Oscar Darnall, the son of attorney W. J. Darnall, had baen paying marked attentions to Miss Lillie Majors, the fourteen-year-old daughter of James Majors. The girl’s parents objected on account of her age and the youth’s wildness. Tuesday night he took her out for a buggy ride, and after leaving home he told her that they would go to Lebanon and bo married. What passed between them until 3 o’clock \\ ednesday morning is not known. At that hour they were near the residence of Darnall’s uncle, John Ashley, a mile from Jamestown. Here Darnall, after a quarrel with the girl, drew his revolver and shot her in the mouth. lie then stabbed her three times in tho neck, one blow scratching the jugular vein. The girl was then lifted from the buggy and the horse turned loose. Darnall dragged the fainting girl to a straw stack in an adjacent field and was there with her for some time. Finally he carried her to the Ashley residence and aroused the household. He stated that a mob had followed them from Jamestown and shut the girl. Mr. Ashley started at once for Jamestown m a buggy, accompanied by Darnell. When they passed thestraw stack Darnall asked to get out to recover something left there. He walked to the stack, and, drawing his revolver, shot himself in the forehead, dying instantly. Tho girl was alive at 10 o’clock, Wednesday morning, but she was sinking rapidlv. NEW YORK DEMOCRATS. State Convention at Saratoga — Platform In Brief. The New York State Democratic convention mot at Saratoga, Thursday, and after organization adjourned until Friday. Anti-Cleveland delegates were seated in every instance of a contest. At Friday’s session the platform adopted “reaffirmed the principles of the State and national platforms so emphatically endorsed last November: denounced tho Sherman law; expressed appreciation for the tho soldiers and sailors of the war for the Union; congratulated President Cleveland and tho country on tho auspicious beginning of his administration.” After the adoption of the platform candidates for Associate Judge of the Court of Appeals, Secretary of State. Controller, Treasurer, Attorney-General, State Engineer and Surveyor, and fifteen delegates at large to the constitutional convention to be heid in May next, were nominated and the nyeniijn aij) urn id ANARCHIST FALLAS EXECUTED. Bomb-Thrower of Barcelona Meet* a Deserved Fate. ■Pallas, tho anarchist, who, on Sunday, Sept. 24, male an attempt on the life of Captain-General Martinez Campos, by hurling two dynamite bombs at that officer, was shot, Friday, at Barcelona, Spain, in accordance with the sentence of the court-martial. During the twentyfour hours previous to his execution Pallas was confined Jn the military chapel to which ho had been escorted while singing an anarchist song. Tho prisoner refused to kneel when sentence was pronounced, but he consented to sign a copy of the sentence, at the same time exclaiming that ho was signing the death warrant of liis judges, feeling certain that his brother anarchists would avenge his death by killing those who had condemned him to die. Priests did their best to prevail upon Pallas to listen to religious consolation and die repentant. But he sneered at their remarks, laughed at their word pictures of the hereafter, and scornfully rejected all their efforts in his behalf.

LABOR TROUBLES. TIio union boilermakers of the Big Four at Indianapolis have been threatening a strike for several days. Thursday, 140 men were dismissed from the company’s service at the Brlghtwood shops, and the feeling became bitter. Non-union men had boon Imported to take the place of the strikers and those discharged. At the Moorfield shops, west of the city, a crowd gathered, Thursday evening, to see the train that was to carry the “scab” workmen from their work. The train was backed into the round-house and loaded with the men and as It started for the city one of the watchmen employed by the company, stopped to the rear door of the car * and fired into the crowd of men and school children, striking J. B. Pitts’, a fireman in the employ of the company, inflicting a fatal wound. Pitts was in no way connected with the strike and the shot was totally uncalled for. Descriptions agree that the watchman who fired the shot is named Stokes and he will bo arrested. A large number of school girls were in the crowd and the shot was a wanton display of cruelty. After the shot had been fired >$hich hit Pitts the crowd opened fire on the train but no one was injured. The machine and blacksmith shopsfat Brightwood were closed by order of the company at noon, Thursday, until further notice.

A. will bo held at Marion Nov. 3 to 5. THE MARKETS. £ Oct, d 1893 Indianapolis. Gil AIN AND HAY. Wheat—No. 3 red,o60c; No. 3 red, 57; rejected, 40@50; wagon wheat. 61.

THE GULF HURRICANE. Greatest Calamity in American History. Each Ilonr Brings News oT More Dljuster —Two Thousand Known to Have Perished. New Orleans dispatches of the 4th, bringing further details of the great storm of Sunday and Monday, say: Over two thousand killed and nearly five million dollars’ worth of property destroyed is the record of the great Gulf storm in Louisiana. There has never been anything approximating it since the country was settled. More than half the population in the region over which the hurricane swept is dead. Everything is wrecked and not a house is left standing, waile the survivors are left in the most destitute condition, without food or even clothing, for most of them were sleeping in their beds when their homes were crushed by the wind or waves. At Lost Island, where 286 people lost their lives, and at Johnston’s bayou the lost numbered 220 six years ago, but Monday’s disaster far surpassed this horror. The weak and injured were all killed, and in the settlements where the storm was worst not a child survived and very few women. The survivors are the young men in the vigor of manhood. Notone of them but has a terrible story to tell; not one but is badly bruised and injured. They escaped mainly on rafts or logs, floating for twenty to ninety hours in th) water, with the wind at 115 miles an hour. The deaths so far as reported and which are confirmed, aggregate over two thousand. At the time the storm visited Cheme, Canunada, 120 fishing vessels were in the gulf fishing. Not a word has been heard from them or their occupants. Along the Mississippi the loss of life was to some extent due to falling buildings. In the bay it was caused wholly by drowning. . The pecuniary damage, while heavy, is not as largo as might have been expected, as the sugar plantations and the richi r portions of Plaquemino parish were not worsted by the storm, and it was the smaller farms and fishing settlements which suffered most.

CURRENCY PROBLEMS. Ex*Senator Farwell’s Startling: Plan to Relievo the Situation. The Committee on Banking and Currency has received communications from various parts of the country containing suggestions with regard to proposed changes in the financial system of the. Government which are pending before the committee. One of them is from cx-Sena-tor Harwell, of Illinois. In the first place, he thinks the Government should take up all its greenbacks and circulating notes of every kind. He says that the Government has issued circulating notes twice only in its history—during the Revolutionary war and during the late rebellion—not to furnish a circulating medium, but because the Government was unable to borrow money. The National Bank act was passed, not to provide a financial system, but to enable the Secretary of the Treasury to get $303,010,600 out of the banks. The Government, at the time of the passage of the act, discredited its own bonds by saying “they are worth only 90 cents on the dollar;” and it has maintained that opinion up to this hour. “Now,” savs Mr. Harwell, "if you want to make money cheap to the people, foster, extend and cherish the National Banking system, first, by allowing the banks to take the par of bonds in circulating notes; second, repealing the tax on national bank circulation, except just enough to pay to print their bills. Then refund the present bonded debt into 100-ycar two per cent, bonds. It would probably then appear that the volume of Government bonds would not be adequate to furnish all the circulation which would bo required for the business of the country. If this should prove to be so some future Congress could provide that municipal and State bonds, under proper regulations, could be taken to supply the deficiency.” Mr. Harwell also- suggests the repeal of the Sub-Treasury act. “The Government,” he says, “discredits the national banks which it has created and supervises. The Sub-Treasurers give bonds in $503,600 or $660 00 when they hold from fifteen to twenty millions of Government money. If the Government revenues could be deposited in the national banks, the same as all business poop o deposit their money, it would he kept in substantial circulation. Now it is locked up and for any business purposes might as well be at the bottom of the sea.” On the subject of silver the ex-Senator writes: “withdraw the legal tender quality of silver dollars, except for a limited amount, an i that let free coinage foil >w. Silver will be used for money and all of it at its market value, and cannot be used for any more.”

Wilson, of Crawfordsville, is demanding a divorce because her waggish husband ducked her in a slopbarrel, slipped snow down the back of her dress, put rats in her bed, salt in her coffee and played other pranks.

A Matter of Health. Housekeepers faintly realize the danger of an indiscriminate use of the numerous baking powders nowadays found upon every ha*vd, and which are urged upon consumers with such persistency by peddlers and grocers on account of the big profits made in their sale. Most of the powders are made from sharp and caustic acids and alkalies which burn and inflame the alimentary organs and cause indigestion, heartburn, diarrhoeal diseases, etc. Sulphuric acid, caustic potash, burnt alum, all are used as gas producing agents in such baking powders. Most housekeepers are aware of the painful effects produced when these chemicals are applied to the external flesh. How much more acute must be their action upon the delicate internal membranes! Yet unscrupulous manufacturers do not hesitate to use them, because they make a very low-cost powder, nor to urge the use of their powders so made, by all kinds of alluring advertisements and false representations. All the low-priced or so-called cheap baking powders, and all powders sold with a gift or a prize, belong to this class. Baking powders made from chemically pure cream of tartar and bicarbonate of soda are among the most useful of modern culinary devices. They not only make the preparation of finer and more delicious cookery possible, but they have added to the digestibility and wholesomeness of our food. But baking powder must be composed of such pure and wholesome ingredients or they must be tabooed entirely. Dr. Edson, Commissioner of Health of New York, in an article in the “Doctor of Hygiene,” indicates that the advantages of a good baking powder and the exemption from the dangers of the bad ones in which the harsh and caustic chemicals are uses, are to be secured by the use of Royal Baking Powder exclusively, and he recommends- this to all consumers. “The Royal," he says “cont ains nothing but cream of tartar and soda refined to a chemical purity, which when combined under the influence of heat and moisture produce pure carbonic, or leavening, gas. The two materials used, cream of tartar and soda, are perfectly harmlesss even when eaten, ;but in this preparation they are combined in exact compensating weights, so that when chemical action begins between them inethe dough they practically disappear, the substance of both having been taken to form carbonic acid gas ” Hence it is, he says, that the Royal Baking Powder is the most perfect of all conceivable agents for leavening purposes. It seems almost incredible that any manufacturer or dealer should urge the sale of baking powders containing injurious chemicals in place sf those of a well-known, pure, and wholesale character simply for the sake of a few cents a pound greater profit; but since they do,a few words of warning seem to be necessary.

A Senatorial Poker Came. Years ago Senators Jones, Yost. Stewart, and Cameron wero playing a game of poker one evening, says the San Francisco Examiner, and although the stakes wore not high the company was good and it ran until long after midnight. A few days afterward Vest remarked to Jones: "I say, Jones, wasn’t th it a nice game the other evening? Everything went along so well and no one at the game had to watch the other three. 1 like a gentleman’s 'game like th .1. where you don't even nave to out the cards for a square deal.” Jones, who is an incorrigible wag, suddemy conceived the idea of having some fun with Vest, so he manufactured a story to fit the occasion. “I'm glaf you think so,” he said, “but 15LI1 Stewart doesn’t have that idea of it.” “What!” said Vest, quite seriously, “do you moan to tell me that Stewart thinks there was cheating in that game?” “That’s the idea he conveyed to his wife when ho reached home. She spoke to me about it yesterday.” “I’m re lly sorry to hear that,” said Vest. “I feel hurt to hear he felt that he hadn’t lost his money on the square.” “1 feel the same way,” replied Jones. “[ felt as if a thunderclap had struck me.” “What did be really say about it?” asked Vest. "We 1, he c ime home about o o'clock and his wife noticed that his beard was all covered with tobacco juice—a very unusual thing for him—and she took him to task for it. He said he had been in a senatorial poker game. “ ‘Were there no cuspidores in the room?’ “ ‘Yes, plenty of ’em.’ “Couldn’t you turn from the cards long enough to use them?’ “ ‘Ho, my dear; not in that game.’ ” Abolition of Capital Punishment.
