HOPE REPUBLICAN. By Jay C. Smith. HOPE INDIANA “A man void of understanding striketh hands and becometh surety 5n the presence of his friend.” ——i—- | Statistics show that one-half of the young men of Switzerland are (incapacitated for military service because of physical infirmities induced by the excessive use of alcoholic liquors. A young man in Mishawaka i; said to have been arrested and fined ten dollars for disturbing the peace by singing the song “After the Ball” on the streets. That y. ra. is very anxious to interview the author of the song, who is said to be receiving $1,200 a day royalty from his (in) famous production. In no one particular has modern progress attained such universally successful results as in the elimination of the patch from the wearing apparel and footgear of the human race. Patches are seldom seen, even on the garments of working people, it being cheaper to buy new than to try to repair the old. Shoddy and machinery are responsible tor the change, as a ryle.

A New York dude has opened a shop in Fifth avenue for the sale of flowers of his own cultivation. It is the first instance, on record where one of the species has been known "to do anything useful or ornamental. ' He needs money, and having a taste for flowers, thinks he can make a handsome profit, as he can, no doubt, if he attends to business. Special qualifications for any business will succeed in the majority of cases. Progress is the watchword all along the line. Veterinary surgeons do not lag behind. Horses with glass eyes and cows with wooden legs are becom ing a common result of every day practice. Trephining a horse’s broken skull often saves a valuable animal. Nervous horses i are treated with cold water douches j or hypodermic injections of cocaine. I Dogs with impaired hearing are sue- I cessfully treated for their infirmity. A St. Louis man was the posses- 1 v 5or of two hearts until a few days ago. He decided to have the one in 1 his leg “cut out.” It was situated 1 on the inside of the right leg, four inches above the knee, and was caus >d by a severe blow on the limb 1 by a piece of machinery directly i over the artery. Technically the growth was termed “aneurism,” but it exhibited all the peculiarities of I a heart, beating and throbbing in unison with the original organ. The man was in danger of death from hemorrhage at any time and the operation was deemed necessary to save his life. “Marion Harland,” whoso every day name is Mrs. Mary Virginia Terhune, who is a literary character of considerable note, sailed from New York Oct. 11, for a pilgrimage through the desert of Syria to the Bedouins and lepers. She will penetrate the mysteries of a harem at Damascus, visit the Druses of Carmel, the Sea of Tiberias, stop at the tomb of Abraham at Hebron, and visit the Grand Rabb’ of Jerusalem, whose blessing she confidently expects. Mrs. Terhune will be accompanied by her son, and will adopt Oriental customs and costume, and endeavor to penetrate to the inner circles of every place of note she visits as no Caucausian has yet been permitted to do, and hopes to return to New York in March with ample material for her literary projects. Indianapolis is felicitating itself over the recent occupation of its new public library building. It is of white stone, the architecture being of classical beauty and simplicity and is surmounted by a noble group in lasting bronze. Competent critics who have seen both pronounce it equal to the Parthenon at Athens in point of beauty, and it is said to resemble that famous structure very much. The site of this gem of architecture is on M6ridian street one-half square north of the Soldiers’ Monument. That immediate locality Jn the Hoosier capital is rapidly be-

ing transformed into an art center of great interest and remarkable excellence —one that will favorably compare with anything of the kind in the United States at least. Indiana within the memory of men yet young has Vaulted from a position of obscurity, and from being a type of Western life and manners but one degree removed from the customs that prevailed on the Western frontier, into an assured standing and indisputable recognition among the cultured commonwealths of the East whose present refinement has been the accumulation of hundreds of years of enlightened civilization rather than the result of the inherent enterprise and irresistible energy which is the one great characteristic of all Western progress. Hence the artistic treasures which are year by year being gathered at our capital will be viewed by every Hqosier as common property, and as a heritage to coming generations which shall tell the eloquatu story of a wilderness transformed to blooming gardens and fertile fields, and the wild beasts’ lair to teeming cities of grandeur—into homes of love and palatial institutions whose enduring walls shall shelter and instruct the Hoosier millions yet to be. Comparatively few people who visited Jackson Park, and stood aw» struck and overpowered amid the realistic exhibitions of immortal genius that hovered everywhere around, are able to recall the inscriptions on the western facade of the grand arch of the Peristyle Bead amidst the glamour of the wondrous Court of Honor they were impressive to the last degree, find for the benefit of the scrap books of our readers we herewith reproduce a part only of them, believing that many will cherish them as a valuable souvenir of many happy day«: •‘YE SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH SHALL SIAKE YOU FREE.” ■‘TO THE PIONEERS OP CIVIL AND KB L1GIOOS LIBERTY.” “But bolder they who first offcast Their moorings from the habitable past, And ventured chartless on the sea Of storm-engfnderiug liberty.” The California Mid-Winter Fair, having a conspicuous object lesson fresh in the minds of the projectors, is marching onward toward-the opening day with strides that give assurance of a great success. Golden Gate Park is being to 8 populous city. It is expected that the five main buildings will be in the hands of the decorators by the end of November. The “sinews of ijipr” are promptly forthcoming as they are needed and the work will not falter for lack of moans or enterprise. A majority of the attractions of the Chicago Midway Plaisance will be removed to San Francisco, some being already on the way. Railroad rates are promised that will be a revelation in transportation circles, and everything indi cates a repetition of the triumph that attended the World’s Columbian Exposition.

A VALUABLE flute WAS Stolen, tWO months ago, from a show-case in the Manufacturer's Building at Jackson Park. It was the property of Prof, Giorgi, of the’ Royal Academy of Music of Florence, Italy. The flute had cost the Professor years of labor and thousands of dollars in cash, and [ was highly priced. Recently the raui sical Italian has begun to receive j humorous epistles from an unknown ! correspondent signing himself “The Modern Robin Hood,” stating that he had stolen the flute on. a bet that the Professor would stand on the Perris wheel platform in a swallowtail suit with a sunflower on his lapel and cry the sale of a waltz he had written in order to secure the return of his beloved instrument. Other propositions 6f similar absurdity were received, but the thief managed to conceal his identity and the Professor fails to see any humor in the proposed jokes, and refuses to comply-with the terms laid down. The loss has lost Mr. Giorgi a number of valuable engagements, and the thief continues to make him miserable. Senator Morgan, of Alabama, is a self-made man. He went to school but one year. His lack of education, however, did not prevent him from studying law at an early age and becoming a successful practitioner. His literary acquirements, for which he has a reuutation, were gained by reading in later years.

6 A. woman crank called at the White House, Wednesday, and insisted on seeing Mr. Cleveland. She claimed to be a niece of Queen Victoria and said she had important business with the President. She was not permitted to see Mr. Cleveland. Capt. J. G. Adams, Commander-In-Chief of the G. A.

The new commerce-destroyer, Columbia, was sent on a preliminary trial spin over tho Government course from Cape Ann, Massachusetts, to Cape Porpoise, Maine, Wednesday, with tho most gratifying results.

Ferris and the Pittsburg Construction Company, which built the Ferris wheel at tho World’s Fair, are said to have lost 163,000, having received but 1300,000, while the wheel cost $362,000. The stockholders, however, have been paid 22 per cent, on their investment. A movement is on foot to induce Pittsburg stockholders to turn over their stock to Mr. Ferris at 10 cents on the dollar in order to save himself and tho builders from loss. Tho treasury’s available balance was still further depleted Thursday to the extent of $700,000. Tho loss, however, was entirely in tho currency balance, which was reduced over a million, as tho netgold reserve increased half a million Thursday. The net balance stands at $97,388,595, of which $85,490,891 is the gold reserve. The receipts of the government for this month are not as heavy as was hoped, and the deficit in the government’s accounts shows already a loss of nearly five million dollars. Thu receipts have been $14,540,000 and the expenditures $19,365,000. This makes the total deficit, so far this fiscal year, $29,000,000, the proportionate loss this month being much greater than for the preceding four months. FOREIGN.

Only about 150 members of the Reichstag were present. The members of the Federal Council, headed by Von Caprivl, called for three cheers for the Emperor. The latter bowed in reply and read his speech, which was heard In all parts of the hall. The passage in the Emperor’s address which related to foreign affairs was loudly applauded. NO PLA1GARIST. Dr. Talmage Resents the Imputation and Will Seek Legal Redress. The discovery has recently been made by the celebrated Brooklyn preacher that a sermon which he claims he delivered some twenty years ago has been republished by a New York publishing house and credited to Wendell Phillips. Dr. Talmage has given to the public the following card in explanation of his action in seeking legal redress: Brooklyn, Nov. 16. “To Whom It May Concern: “A great wrong lias been done me. My sermon on ‘Christian Citizenship,’ or “The Christian at the Ballot Box,’ which I preached and published about twenty years ago, and which may be found in one of the volumes of my sermons, published at the time by Harper Bros., has been published in compressed form in Maynard, Merrill & Co’s 'Practical Reader’ and credited to Wendell Phillips. From letters recently received it is evident that this publication puts me under the charge of plagarism, a charge that I will not abide. The article quoted is mine. I do not believe that Wendell Phillips ever delivered it. I have instructed my counsel. Gen. B. F. Tracey, to lake immediate steps to set mo right in this important matter. T. DeWitt Talmage.”

THE BRAZILIAN REVOLUTION. The Insurgents Believed to Be On Their Last Legs. A cipher dispatch from Commander Picking was received at tho Navy Department at Washington, Friday, as follows: “llio, Brazil, Nov. 17,1893. “Secretaryof the Navy. Washington; “Naval representatives of eight nations, including our nation, have decided not to permit munitions of war to bo landed at Kio. Santos still being in possession of tho Brazilian government, and connected with Rio by railway, munitions of war for Rio can be landed at Santos. Yesterday insurgents dressed ship and the Brazilian government forts fired national salute in honor of the anniversary of the establishment of the republic. Picking.” The dispatch is believed to indicate that Admiral Mello, In command of the rebel naval forces, Is very much crippled, and that Peixoto’s government will bo able to maintain control of affairs and suppress the rebellion in a short time. INDIANA BUILDING SOLD. Twelve Hundred Dollars, Highest Price Received for s State Building, The Indiana Building at the World’s Fair was sold to a wrecking company at Chicago, Thursday, for $1,200. It was the largest price paid for any State building on the Fair grounds. The exexutive committee oi tho mission met and closed up about all of the business connected with the Indiana exhibit. Not all the money appropriated by the Legislature has been spent, and It will bo returned to the State treasury. The exact amount is not known. Most of the decorations and furniture was reserved by tho contributors and manufacturers, and will ho returned to them. That remaining will go to the State benevolent institutions. A citizen who claims to bo posted on matters pertaining to feeding wheat to hogs, says it spoils the pork. He says in Dakota, where feeding wheat to hogs is practiced, pork is rejected by many as unfit to use. It may be that feeding corn to hogs has accustomed people to the flavor of corn fed pork. After becoming used to wheat fed pork they might relish it just as well. No doubt about that. Why not feed hogs partly on wheat and partly on corn?—Lagrange Standard.
