HOPE REPUBLICAN. By Jay C. Smith. HOPE INDIANA "Defend the poor and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy; rid them out of the hand of the wicked." Gov. Tillman, of South Carolina, is on the war-path and announces his determination to enforce the liquor law of that State to the letter even if it requires the entire militia force at his command to successfully carry out its provisions. He will brook no opposition to or competition with the legally authorized State dispensaries of alcoholic beverages. The exclusive and dignified United States Senate rejected Mr. Hornblower. Mrs. Emily S. Nelson, of New York, took a different view of his merits and married him. He will doubtless be a very good husband, if he cannot be a Supreme Court justice, a. the lady was the sister of his deceased wife and had lived in his family for seven years, the most of the time a widow.

It is stated for a fact that Hon. W. H. English, of Indianapolis, has such a prejudice against elevators that he has never rode in one, and he avers that he would climb 500 feet of stairway rather than take a risk of accident which he feels is always hanging over the reckless mortals who daily soar and plunge betwixt heaven and earth to save a little time and extra exertion. The 90th birthday of Gen. Neal Dow, March 20, 1894, is to be generally observed throughout the United States by meetings in the interest of temperance reform. Neal Dow was born in Portland, Me., March 20, 1804, and there are few men of seventy who are to-day so active and well preserved in every way as he is at eighty-nine. His entire manhood has been devoted to an earnest advocacy of total abstinence from alcoholic beverages.

Representative citizens of the south of Ireland will soon hold a meeting at Cork to urge the British government to maintain the Queenstown mail route to and from America. The British Postmaster-General is said to favor the Southampton route, but the people of Cork and contiguous territory hope to be able to bring sufficient pressure to bear to prevent a change from the present order of things. The Japanese are models of candor and frankness. They call a spade a spade, and sign their names to their sentiments. A Jap in Sendai recently became convinced that wine drinking was ruining his financial prospects, and thereupon announced in the local newspapers that in the future he intended to abstain unless somebody “set 'em up,” and signed the remarkable ad. “Taka'nashi Ryozabaro.” Indianapolis papers are howling for a pest house, quarreling over the donation of 15,000 to Mr. Fortune, secretary of the Commercial Club, for alleged extra services during the encampment, finding fault with the quality of meat donated to the poor, sneezing at the Police Superintendent, pitching into the Board of Works for their inaction in improvement matters, abusing the Street Railway Company for inadeqate service—and altogether seem 'to be in a most unhappy “frame” of mind.

The possibilities of chemical research are imperfectly understood. Every .year new triumphs are achieved in this direction. Recent discoveries have demonstrated that chloroform can be made from natural gas for ten cents a pound. Other chemical compounds are also to be obtained from this wonderful product of nature, such as methyl and alcohol, at a cost trifling when compared to that of other processes. A company to manufacture such articles will be organized in Indianapolis by a Pittsburg chemist. Germans are proverbially slow going, phlegmatic and disposed to let the world jog on in the old ruts rather than be troubled with modern innovations, but a Berlin stenographer has lately discovered a trick

that even a down east Yankee from the land of wooden nutmegs might emulate and view with envy. Being without sufficient employment he developed a taste for reporting funeral sermons, of which ho prepared elaborately ornamented copies, finding a ready sale for his work among the friends of the decased subject of the discourse. This should serve as a valuable pointer to many of the unemployed graduates of our numerous stenographic institutions. The evil of smoking, and especially of cigarette smoking, among the youth of the country, has grown to alarming proportions, and is seemingly rapidly increasing. The effects of all kinds of nicotine poisom ing upon boys of immature age has long been known to be ruinous in the extreme. A French physician has recently investigated the -ffect of smoking on thirty-eight b-»t-s of from 9 to 15 years of age. Twentyseven were found to exhibit distinct symptoms of nicotine poisoning. In twenty-two there were serious disorders, dullness of intellect and a marked appetite for s4fcong drink. Four had ulceration of the mouth.

The old saying “As cheap as dirt,” will hereafter have to be used with qualifying specifications. In other words you must locate the dirt that you intend to use as a simile for a low price on any article. The rate at which extremely small pieces of terra firma have recently been selling in Chicago and in New York has destroyed the usefulness of the time worn adage to a certain extent. The last and most remarkable sale on record in this country was for a small block in New York City bounded by Broadway, Cedar, Liberty and Temple streets, which was knocked down to a Chicago syndicate for $2,700,000. The property was owned by several persons and measures 117 feet on Broadway, 159 feet on Liberty, 115J feet on Temple, and 152 feet on Cedar street. The block is covered by old buildings and they have all changed hands within the past three years at prices which would only aggregate 11,490,000, leaving the handsome profit to the foriunate purchasers who have just “let go” to the Chicago capitalists of $1,210,000. Some dirt is not cheap, even in these hard times.

“They do these things different in Prance.” It has not been generally known in this country that the lat% Emperor Louis Napoleon had a son, previous to his marriage with the Empress Eugenie, whose mother was entirely unknown to the records of the aristocracy, as she is to this chronicler, whom he acknowledged publicly as such, bestowing upon him a large tract of territory and the title of Count d’Orx on his accession to the throne of the great Corsican. Count d’Orx has repently died of the grip, and his demise has brought to public notice the anomalous position that he occupied on account of his descent from an imperial fathep and an unknown mother of plebian birth and uncertain social position. The late Count is said to have borne astriking resemblance to his father, which likeness he took great pains to preserve and enhance in every way by wearing the imperial beard and mustache characteristic of Louis Napoleon, also imitating his style of dress in all -particulars so far as possible, but, unlike his distinguished parent, he at no time evinced any interest in politics, but devoted the years of his manhood to agricultural pursuits.

What the Grip is Like. Oil City Blizzard. So you want to know what the grip is, do you? It is a combination of bad colds, several degrees at once, continual headache, bellyache, chicken pox, hives, spring halt, sevenyears itch, disordered liver, kidney trouble, each bone in one’s body trying to ache more than the others and about forty other indescribable diseases. All of these, never less, sometimes more, at one and the same j,ime. Mrs. Annie S. Austin, the newlyelected mayor of-Pleasanton, Kas., is described as “a buxom woman of 200 pounds and quite intelligent.” Her husband is a railroad employe. She was the leading speaker in the campa.gn which resulted in her election and electioneered so cleverly that she went into office with a majority of twelve votes. In her church and among the Good Templars, as well as in politics, Mrs. Austin is a shining light.

HE IS STONE DEAD. Execution of Stone, the Wratten Murderer. James E. Stone, who cruelly and without motive murdered six members of tho Wratten family, near Wash ington, Daviess county, Sept. 19, 1893, was hanged at the prison south at 13:15 Friday morning. This was the first hanging under tho new law at tho southern penitentiary. Warden Patten conducted the execution. The legal requirement, limiting the number of witnesses, was strictly observed. The crime for which Stone was executed was probably the most atrocious ever committed in Indiana. Stone has been re-

garded as a metaphysical wonder, for after murdering the Wrattens in cold blood with an ax and corn-knife he not only assisted in preparing the bodies for burial, but acted as one of tho pall-bearers at the funeral. He was not at first suspected. It was his wife’s testimony that indicted him. There was no robbery, and Stone has never assigned a motive for the crime, claiming it was simply an insane impulse. Htei made a full confession, or rather several confessions, and always claimed that he was the only person Implicated. The mystery has never been fully cleared up, there being many circumstances tending to show,that Stone was not the only person connected with the crime. --Stone met his fate with calmness and expressed his belief that he had bean forgiven for his twful deed and that the angels in heaven iwaited his coming: that Ma./orimson stained hands had been washed in the blood of the lamb; that he had made his peace with God and man. The body of the murderer was taken back to Daviess county for burial,.Friday. ,' T ya.'u'i a—•• . - A STARTLING STOPS. John Jbseph, Prince of Nouri, D. D., LL.

WHOLESALE JAIL DELIVERY. A wholesale Jail delivery at Toledo, Monday night, of the prisoners in the Madison county jail, has set the county in a lit of excitement. A novel scheme was played by the prisoners. To secure their liberty they opened the lock to the cell of the corridor with,a wooden key at 9 o’clock. As the sheriff entered to put the prisoners to bed, two that were secreted behind the door struck him over the head with a chair leg and knocked him insensible. His pockets were rifled of a revolver. Four colored men, who were bald on a charge of burglary, escaped. EIGHT ASPHYXIATED, Eight men wore overcome by gas in the basement of the power house of the Fifthstreet Cable Road Company, at Kansas City, and one. Superintendent C. P. Kline, may die. Several strands of the cable broke and became twisted around a gas main in the basement, breaking the main in two Seven conductors and grip men went down to splice the cable, and while at work were asphyiatod. The break in the gas main was not discovered until the men had succumbed to the gas. 1

AN INDIANA MIRACLE. A Case That Has Attra cted Much Attention A W*ll-Known CiU/ci Wli»»o 1.11a W»» Despaired of Is Affaln Enjoying Health and Strength—The Parlh-ulars of His KemarUable Cure at Belated to a Xteporter of the Crawfordsv.il* Journal. CrawfordsvlUe Journal. There is probably no man better known in this city than G. M. Johnson, or “Mit,” as he is familiarly called by everybody. Six months ago it was a common remark that “poor Mit had but a few days more of his life,” his physical condition being such that not one of his hundreds of friends had the slightest hope of his surviving the summer. He had about abandoned all hope himself, evidently, and was confined to his room and bed, unable to walk or to attend to any business whatever. A representative of this paper who has enjoyed an intimate acquaintance with Mr Johnson for a long number of years, met hjm walking briskly up street today, and in astonishment inquired of him what had brought so wonderful a change in his appearance and condition. “Well,” said Mr. Johnson, “for a number of years i have had a complication of troubles, the most serious being spinal and nervous trouble, which, as you know, brought me pretty near death’s gate. My friends despaired of my, recovery, and I had but little hope myself of ever being about actively again. My health kept going from bad to worse until I became perfectly helpless. I was unable to walk a step,_cOuld not sleep, had no appetite; I just lived and suffered and could not die to get relief. Physicians did me no good; neither did all the other remedies I tried, and I believe I have taken enough medicine in the last few years to stock a drug store. I was in this miserable hopeless and helpless condition when a friend called my attention to a remarkable cure through the use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People and urged me to try them. I felt that perhaps it was a last chance, and procured a supply of Pink Pills from Messrs. Nye & Hooe, the wcdl-kuown druggists.* That was about six months ago, and you see what they have done for me. I am a new man pow. I had not been taking Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills long when I began to find an improvement. I saw that,I had at last hit upon a remedy that had virtue in it; hope returned and I continued to use the pills and continued to improve in health and strength, and while I am not the stoutest man in the city I am a new man altogether. I feel well, eat heartily, sleep soundly, the dizzy nervous trouble has entirely left. I can walk briskly, and am enjoying life as of yore. I consider this Pink Pill remedy a wonderful one, and have recommended it to a number of my friends who hawe been similarly afflicted. Why, I cannot recommend the remedy too highly. Just think, for nearly a year I could not stand up to take a drink of water without getting blind from dizziness, and the most excruciating pains would seize me, and during these paroxysms I suffered untold agony. I am now entirely free from these pains. “Just say to any one who may want information that I will freely give them any information they may desire on the subject, and will only be too glad to see some of my friends benefited in the same way. I know some who are in need of something right now, and will urge them to try the four p’s. There is nothing in my opinion to equal them, and as I said in the start' I have tried all the remedies advertised.’’ Our reporter then called upon Messrs. Nye & Booe, the well known who said there weremany in Crawfordsville besides Mr. Johnson who had reason to be grateful to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, for restored health and strength. Indeed, every one who uses Pink Pills speaks of them in the highest terms. An analysis of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills shows that the}' contain in a condensed form, all the elements necessary to pive new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus’ dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after effects of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, nale and sallow complexions, all forms of weakness either in male or female, and all diseases resulting from vitiated humors in the blood. Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt of once, (50 cents a box, or G boxes for $2.50) —by addressing Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y., or Brockville, Ont. Mrs. Diaz, wife of the president of Mexico, has founded in the city of Mexico a day nursery, a society to teach women remunerative employments and an institution through which girls out of work may find employment.
