HOPE REPUBLICAN. By Jay C. Smith. HOPE! INDIANA "Give instructions to a wise man and he will be yet wiser; teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. ’’ An antiquarian is endeavoring to prove that the Jews were never in Egypt. Consequently Joseph never was prime minister of that country and Mrs. Potiphar never talked nice to the young man and scared him out of his coat. Persons who use or buy cigar and cigarette holders, apparently of am ber or ivory, should be warned of the danger that is probably lurking in them. The government cigarette works at Paris, France, are now turning out large quantities of these goods made of celluloid, a most dangerous material when exposed to fire. Railway cars are to be cleaned by compressed air. The air is applied from a small nozzle attached to a hose at a pressure of fifty pounds to the square inch. It is said the device is ne plus ultra for the upholstery of cars and the floors are cleaned with remarkable speed and facility. A French savant has perfected a process for photographing at the bottom of the sea. Mermaids can now get their ’‘pictures took” without the purchase of a Worth gown, and enterprising reporters are hoping to soon secure a photo of a bona fide sea serpent for their paper?. The possibilities in this direction are great, and it does seem that there is no depth to which man will not go in search of amusement or possible profit. The Lagrange Democrat is responsible for the statement that a maiden lady of that locality, somewhat advanced in years, while promenading, found a horse-shoe, which she superstitiously carried home and at night placed under her pillow “for luck.” Upon retiring she, as was her custom, placed her false teeth in the same secure depository. Next morning on arising in the dark she grasped the horseshoe and placed it in her mouth in lieu of her teeth, and proceeded to get breakfast without the slightest inconvenience. The improved Gatling gun is now capable of discharging more than 3,000 shots a minute when worked by an electric motor. Tuis capacity for dealing out death and destruction is equal to that of two regiments with a full quota of men. It will be a great day for the human race when war will be a simple contest between machinery, as it is already fast becoming. A battle between an army of Gattling guns worked by electricity and manipulated by operatives in a place of safety seems to be the ultimate result of military evolution. It seems to be an established fact that the political caldron has begun to boil, N umeious exchanges have assured us that this is the ease. 'There is nothing especially remarkable about this. Biennial boilings of the afore said kettle have taken place with great regularity for many years, and as conditions are likely to continue the same indefinitly, it wonld seem a possibility that the pot would in time be badly burned. W 7 e still hope, however, that this will, not prove to be the case. As matters stand a new political ca'uron would probably prove an expensive necessity and all citizens should unite in a loyal effort and sincere desire to preserve the one that has served the people so long and well. A post-mortem investigation of a “pennny-in-the-slot” machine at Elwood revealed a horrid condition of its internal anatomy and the mystery is how the poor thing survived so long—until at last it was compelled to give up the ghost and quit forever dealing out chocolates and chewing-gum to the waiting world. The contents of its works were of infinite variety—keys, rings, bits of wood, gravel,buttons,lead “nickles,” and—a few pennies. So ended a bright career that promised years of usefulness and profit. Alas, but

for too much confiding confidence in the inherent integrity of the hu nan race this catastrophe' might have been averted and the budding automaton might in time have grown to be a full fledged race or gambling device with a'mu-io box attachment. The sensational abuse in which attorneys frequently indulge while pleading a ease was carried to an extreme in the Annie Wagner murder case, at Indianapolis. The attorney for the defense called the prosecutor a “pun” in the course of his remarks, and when the State's attorney got the floor he returned in kind by branding the eloquent barrister as “a product of the slums and a liar”. Possibly both of the eminent counsel were correct in their estimate of j each other’s characteristics, yet it is safe to predict that should either die the survivor would make a touching address on the conspicuous ability of his departed brother, and shed crocodile tears above his bier. These incidents doubtless give variety to court proceedings, and serve to entertain the assembled audience, but they certainly detract from the dignity of our tribunals, and have a tendency to rob the courts of the respect that is their du®. Science continues to progress in many ways and new avenues of employment are ever opening for the thrifty scions of the human race. Old things are passing away, and a good many new things are appearing upon the surface of the “general swim.” Even old horses are likely to present a moathful of brand new store teeth that will puzzle the oldest inhabitant and render the financial outcome of the a “boss trad.;’ of the future a matter of stillgreater uncertainty than it is in our own day. Cheating in a horse trade has ever been regarded as an offense against the moral law at which angels smile, and St. Peter has never been known to refuse admission to an applicant against whom no greater offense could be alleged than that he habitually got away with the other fellow in an exchange of equine flesh. To complicate matters still further in this direction, recent progress in dental surgery for veterinary purposes has made it possible to deceive the most expert trader as to an animal’s age, and a veterinary dental school has actually been established in New York. The field is a now one, and promises lucrative employment in a legitimate field, to say nothing of its possibilities as a means of fraud in the direction above spoken of. AN ANECDOTE. The Martyred President Had no ‘•Great Policy"—His Story. United States Senator Palmer ol Illinois, tells an interesting story of Mr. Lincoln. “I went to see him,” said Mr. Palmer’ “by appointment at U ocloek in the morning. I sat in the anteroom a long time, while Buckingham of Conneticut walk in and out ol Lincoln’s room several times. At last Buckinginghara left and I went in. I found Lincoln with a towel round his neck getting ready to shave. “ ‘Got to get shaved sometime, Palmer,’ he said. T couldn’t shave while Buckingham was here, but you are home folks, and it doesn’t matter with home folks.’ “We chatted till the barber reached his mouth, when he could't talk without running the the risk of getting cut. There was a pause. During it I thought of the great war that was going on and of the man near me conducting it. “ ‘Mr. Lincoln,’ I said, ‘if I had known there was going to be so great a rebellion, I should never have thought of going to a one-horso town for a one-horse lawyer for President.’ Lincoln stretched forth his arms, - pushed the barber aside and abrupt- 1 ly wheeled round to me. I thought he was angry because of what I had. said, but he replied: “ ‘Nor I either. It’s lucky for this country no man was chosen who had a great policy and wo fid have stuck to it. If such a man had been chosen this rebellion would nevei have reached a successful conclusion, I have had no great policy,but I have have tried to do my duty every day, I hoping that the morrow would find that I had done right.’ “And that,” said the senator, “was the last time I saw Lincoln alive.” “Wonderful, the muscle that Weggie is developing.” “Using dumbbells, eh?” “Oh deah, no; he cawwies twe large chrysanthemums the length o) I the hall three times a day."

INTERNATIONAL ‘•MILL” mtAncll Knocked Out in Three | Rounds. ,VmcrlcM’B C iampion An Kbs> Winner—A (irp£t I’utfllls Ic Itvojif. I The long (-x peeled meeting between the I great pugilist*. James .1, Corbett, of the United States, and Charles Mitchell, of England, arranged to take place at Jacksonville, Fla.. Jan. 25. IH.it, came olf according to the programme of the Duval Athletic Club at that, city, Thursday. Efforts to prevent the fight by the authorities failed to materialize and the contest was not interfered with in any way after the granting of an injunction in favor of the Athletic Club. Wednesday, preventing Governor Mitchell from taking any further steps in time to prevent the tightGreat interest was manifested and more than 1.0)0 men viewed the fight. The platform was of the regulation pattern,

IK-/ JAMES CORnETT.

surrounded by heavily padded ropes ind a barbed wire fence. At 1:50 p. m. Corbett arrived on/eloped in a bath robe an 1 exaraine.d the platform. At 3 p. m. Mitchell appeared. Both men were given an enthusiastic reception by the spectators. At 1:50 the men were ctiled to the center of -lie ring and given instructions by the referee. At 3:51 El. Smith, of Denver, •hallenged the winner to light for #10,000 i side. The light then proceeded by rounds as follows; First Round —The referee gave notice that it would ha a tight to a linish. Corbett led off and hit Mitchell on the chin. They exchange body blows, and Jim roaches Charlie’s loft eye heavily. Hitch'll reaches the ribs; another exchange ind Mitchell clinches. Mitch ill is on 'orbett’s neck, and Jim lan Is right and ight again, just as time is called. Ilonirs easy in first round. Second Round—A wild exchange and •linch. Corbett uppercuts his man and hoy come together. Mitchell lands hard in the ribs, and, as Mitchell came in, Corbett knocked him down twice in succession. Jim Doored his man clearly and ;nocked him down again as he essayed to irise. The gong saved Mitchell. Third Round—Mitchell rather groggy. Corbett wins; Mitchell knocked out. NOTES, The contest was fur a purse oj $30,050, and the sporting world has b 'en agitated for months over the probable result. Botr,ing had been largely in favor of Corbett at at all times in tlio United States, bnt in England Mitchell is said to have been heavily backed. James J. Corbett was born in San Francisco in 18(53, and has had a remarbahle career in his profession which culminated in Now Orleans, September 7, 1893, when he defeated John L. Sullivan, and became the champion of America. Charles Mitchell was born in Birmingham, Eng., in 1861, and has devoted the years of his manhood to the pugilistic art. He boxed with Sullivan in May, 1884 at Madison Square Garden, and knocked the American champion down, but the police stopped the fight in the third round before the contest was decided.

CHAKLES MITCHELL.

Mitchell was defeated in the first round because of his own cowardice and timidity, lie know ho had no chance to win. and I when the men were called to the center of the ring by the referee he appeared like a j dwarf beside Corbett. | Corbett refused to shake hands with Mitchell. It is well known among the sporting fraternity that Mitchell has re- . peatedly spoken of Corbett in the mos insulting terms and the contestants were

personal enemies as well as, pugilist, lighting fur the championship of the world, Corbett rested for a quarter of an bnnr in his dressing room, chatting with his friends and express ng his satisfaction with the result. lie would have liked to punish Mitchell more, and that was apparently his only regret. Mitchell had to be assisted from the ring by his friends an 1 seconds, but Corbett sprang out as lightly as he had entered, apparently not the least excited or worr ed. Crowds followed botli Corbett and Mitchell as they pushed their way from tin' ring to the dressing rooms. Corbett walked with'a jaunty air, surrounded by his seconds and friends, while Mitchell, a trillle disheartened, plodded along shortly afterwards. Outside the gates a most disagreeable surprise awaited both pugilists. Sheriff 1!reward, of Duval county, with a hackful of deputies, blocked the way as the men came abreast of him. lie jumped from his carriage and declared both under arrest. This was something neither was looking for, and consternation was written on their faces. "What is the charge?” asked Corbett. “Fighting,” was the laconic reply of the sheriff, and with a "Como along, boys,” ho jumped upon the box of Mitchell’s hack and ordered the drivel to proceed to the’ courthouse. Two deputies took charge of Corbett’s carriage and started in the same direction. The whole thing was done so quickly that few of the crowd comprehended what had happened. Mitchell asked and was given permission to go to the hotel for a bath and rub down tint Corbett wanted the matter settled at once and- proceeded to the court house. After the usual preliminaries, Mitchell having appeared at the court house somewhat refreshed. both men were place 1 under $5.0)0 bonds to appear in the Criminal Court, Friday. The seconds and other participants were likewise held in $2,500 bonds as accessories, Corbett and party appeared at the Zoological Gardens in the evening and the purse of $20X00 was formally turned over to the Champion of World, and acknowledged by him, in the presence of an immense and enthusiastic audience. A reconciliation was effected between Mitchell and Corbett in the evening by mutual friends. The men shook hands and Mitchell apologized and acknowledged that he had said mean tilings of Corbett, hut said that he had often been misquoted and wished to retract what he had said, lie admitted that ho had been fairly beaten.

THE FEE AND SALARY LAW. Supremo Court ' ecides That It’9 All Right. Thursday the Supreme Court decided that the fee and salary law is constitual. April 25, last, Jas. W. Stout, sheriff of Vigo county, filed a petition in the Marion circuitcourt to compel State-Au-ditor Henderson to draw a warrant on the State Treasurer in his favor as mileage tor conducting prisoners to the penitentiary. The fee and salary law, paised Mar. 9. 189:3, prohibited any such payment however, and in his petition the complainant averred that the law conflicted with the, constitution and is “utterly void,” A demurrer to the mandamus was overruled by the circuit court and thecas - was at once appealed to the higher tribunal. The chief ground of the appeal is that the law is local and special Because it does not include persons elected prior to the time it took effect, and that it is special because it docs not include in its provisions tTie auditor, treasurer and recorder of Shelby county. The Supreme Court in its decision, however, holds that the law is not special, but that, practically, its framers were possessed of sufficient information to know what they were doing. Judge Coffee wrote the opinion. Judge McCabe wrote adissenting opinion. At the Democratic caucus on the internal revenue bill, Thursday, it was decided that the measure, which includes a provision for an income tax. shall be added as an amendment to the VVilsor bill. Mr. Cockran protested without avail Mr. Cockran gave notice that lie would not be bound by the act.on of the caucus
