BULLS AND BEAKS SCOUEGED

Pulpit Lessons Drawn from the Panics in the Wheat sn i Cofl'ee Markets. Gambling on Margins Denounced as Thievery of the Worst Description Services at the . Tabernacle, Friends' and Other Churches. Rer. M. L. Haines, of the First Pxesbyterian Eburcb, preached last evening at the Second Presbyterian Church to the united congregations of the two churches, his subject being "The Mania for Gambling. n He took as his text, "The lot is cast into the lap, but the whole disposing thereof is of the Lord." He said that the gambler does not resort to the lot, as the apostles did, that ne may find out God's will in a doubtful matter; but, fired with the lost ot gain, he seeks to so use the element of uncertainty that he may get for nothing property belonging to another. The employment of ; otherwise innocent games and srports for the winning of unearned money is making of them the same use that the burglar does of his skeleton keys and his jimmy, by which he forces an tutrance into your store and rifles its contents. The gambling mania, having such, roots as avarice, indolence and envy, has grown up in many lands as a poisonous upas tree, and as cast its baleful influence ovrvr multitudes. One form of gambling is that of pools and bookmaking. This fastens itself upon athletic contests of all kinds, and sports on se a and land. It is a shame that these vipers ehouhi be allowed to bang on and poison pastimes otherwise healthful. The infamous Louisiana corporation for robbing the poor and the weak-minded was organized, immediately after the var, by corrupting the Legislature and a gift of $00,000 a year ' to the city hospital. Public opinion should make the name of such a man as General Beauregard, who stands before the , public as an indorser of the iniquity, a hissiMg and a byword. Perhaps the two financial Cyclones which the country has experienced witht.n a fortnight, first 'in the coffee trade, and then; in the wheat mar-' ' ket, will serve to clear the attfopsphere and arouse public attention more fully- to the nature and enormity of the eviL A combination of Chicago and Cincinnati capitalists conspire to make a corner in wheat. They fo rce the price up and up despite the fact that tbre is ia the country a surplus of some forty millions of bushels above what we shall use before the new crop comes in. There was so much wheat in Chicago that nearly 3,000 ears were standing on the side-tracks, while the eight elevators were f tail to overflowing, and no room for storaee. Yet the gamblers hoped , by meaus of the $4,000,000 they bad put up on the deal to control the market long enough to accomplish their rascally designs. But other rascals were manipulating against them. The bottom fell out of the market, and some twenty firms went under with liabilities up in the millions. Is this to be repeated every few months! What are the remedies? Laws can do something, but legislation must be supplemented by ' publio opinion. Is there any punishment too heavy for men who deliberately combine to tamper with the relations of supply and demand, aid rob the poor of the land by inereasing the cost of the necessaries of life? Nearly three thousand years ago King Solomon said the curse of the people should be upon the man who made a corner in the wheat market: "He that , withboldeth corn the people shall curse him; bnt blessing sbaU be unon th head of him that telleth it" Prov. xi, 26. Who can in such a ease deny that the voice of the people is an echo of the voice of God? Chicago Thieves and Some Others. At the Fourth Presbyterian Church, last eight, the Rev. G. L. McNutt preached from the text, Ex., xx, 15: "Thou shalt not steal." Be said an unusual number of thieves have been iaught in Chicago this past week, so many that the class to which they belong may, for convenience' sake, be called "the Chicago thieves." They have been caught not by the usual officers of the law, but by the retributive justice of . commercial law. Their condemnation is the i - ' unique They do not hide in dens, sneaking through dark alleys with billet and burglar's tools. They are not driven to theft by hunger, The lire on the finest streets, and ride in "car riages in broad daylight. Their wives wear the most magnificent costumes at the opera. They are leading citizens, horrified, no doubt at the poor devil Anarchist who would destroy all property, Let the Anarchist bang. "At the same time, remember the man who,, above all others, breeds and fosters Anarchists. Let no guilty man escape. The eighth commandment guards the right of property with the sanction of divine law. ine principle involved, as stated by Todd, is this: "The taking of the property of another, without giving a fair equivalent in ex change, is, except in the case of gifts, stealing." The manner of takiog is immaterial. It may be a gane of frontier ruffians robbing a train, or it may be a gang of men manipulating the markets to produce a corner and to force prices. The principle is the same something for nothing. Buying and selling on margins is not stealing, but it is dangerously like it If done by a boot black in a back alley, it is gambling. The steal ing is forcing the markets up or down at the will of the robbers. There is no disguising the plain truth by calling it exchange. Ex change! It is the very mockery of exchange. It seems that they bad this class of thieves ' in the olden . time. In Proverbs xl, 20, it is written "He that withholdeth corn the people shall eurse him." Railroad stocks furnish the best illustration of this kind of thieving. A buys a controlling interest in a railroad. The stock is worth 60 cents. At once by systematic effort the road is crippled. The stock runs down to 30; his broker buys it in. Suddenly the road prospers. The stock goes up to 90. He sells, and quietly pockets a million. Where did he cet it? What equivalent has he given for it? He is a thief, and the law either protects him in it or is inadequate to reach him. lie lives in a mansion, and is astonished at strikers and Anarchists. Some other thieves? Yes, they are not all in Chicago. She has her share. They are in Indianapolis. There is the commercial thief. A farmer sells a blitd horse: the buyer is ienorant. He pays the full price. The farmer pockets the money, with congratulations. Has he given a fair exchange? If cot is he a thief I Why not? The merchant sells shoddy goods at nrst-rlas prices. Is he a thief? Why not? A man makes a fals return of property to the assessor. Is he 1 jIbibimm s V. a a rmm si KnP(in With V A w mw v a UI 1 J A Vlii O nu was jai wtu tt u 7 v? ot u lul t7 U 1 1 t or is be stealing from the widow whose home is fully taxed, to support a government to protect his property? There is the political thief. The ballot is the property of every citizen. Buying another man's vote is stealing mine. There is the thief who steals the husband from the wife, father from child, whose coders are filled, though cupboards are empty; whose coffers are filled though jails are thronged, and death and bell are glutted with victims the saloon-keeper and the man who rents the premises. Why not? Bom other thieves? Yes. In the homes of Indianapolis, there are young women and young men who never work. Their fathers are overburdened. They must dress in style, no matter how heavy the mortgage. Some other thieves? Yes. Society is honey-combed with them, and, what is worse, society does not condemn tbera. It is the public conscience that is largely at fault. It is a hopeful sign that the press and the pulpit unite in calling things by their right names. The Society of Friends. Robert W. Douglass, a minister of the Society of Friends, preached yesterday morning and evening at Friends' Church, corner of Delaware and St Clair streets. His text in the morning was the last clause of John xxviii, 11: "The master is come and calieth for thee." Asa representative of his church, Mr. Douglass bss been a great traveler. He was the first American minister of the Friends' Society to visit the churches of that denomination in Australia, where their strength is greater than is usually supposed. There are churches in all the Australian colonies. There am two societies in New South Wales, three in Victoria, three in Tasmania, two in Sooth Australia and one in New Zealand. Mr. Douglass returned a few months ago from a visit to societies in England where the denomination is large and influential, the great statesman and friend of the United States. John Bright being a wellknown member of the society. Mr. Douglass at a former visit to England was presented a goldheaded eane by 31 r. Bright. In conversation with a Journal reporter, Mr. Douglass spoke of his visit among the Friends in Ireland. There are there about three thou-, sand members, occupying a position or great influence. They are all loyalists and opposed to Gladstone, while in England all the Friends are Liberals or Liberal Unionists, a majority being

followers of Gladstone while the remainder follow John Bright, being opposed to Gladstone

only upon the Irish question. Fifth Presbyterian Church. The song service at the Fifth Presbyterian Church yesterday was very entertaining. The singing of the church choir and the visiting quartet was creditable. The solo by Miss Adams was excellent. The pastor gave the in troduction to a series of sermons on "Angels," which will be continued next Sunday evening. BASE-BALL YESTERDAY. The Cincinnati Club Disastrously Defeated by the St. Lonis Champions. Cincinnati, June 19. Smith, Cincinnati's crack pitcher, went to pieces most ingloriously before the largest audience that has ever assem bled since the days of 1869, over fifteen thou sand people being present. He gave ten men bases on balls, hit one, made a bad v ild throw, and pitched wildly five times. On sowing up he was batted unmercifully. Corkhill took his place, and was also batted very hard. Foutz hurt his hand at the bat in the ninth inning, and retired in favor of King. Thelarge crowd necessitated the rule of giving two bases on a hit into . or over it. The score: .St.Louis.

Nearly ten thousand persons saw the game at Ridgewood- Park, to day, between the Metropolitan and Brooklyn c'.ubs. The Brooklyn men outbatted their op ponents and won after an interesting game.

If the truth were known it would be found that the astute and far-seeing manager of a base ball team starts rumors of the wildest kind in order , to advertise his club. Thus the recent deal spoken of between Brooklyn and Detroit, which presaged the removal of the Wolverines to the City of Churches. There was little or no truth in the report, and no doubt came from Watkins, the Detroit' manager, who thus wished to bring the Detroit publio out in greater numbers to witness the home games and thus replenish the exchequer of the club. Detroit would not allow its great club to be removed, and Watkins knew this, and so made the threat spoken. Another deal- made for the purpose of advertisement was the offer of Philadelphia to purchase three of the Detroits' players. The Philadelphia public had become disgusted with the showing of the club; and Manager Wright took this means of trying to show the public that he was willing to strengthen the club at any cost. Whether he was or not is a question still unanswered. The great sensation of the year, the purchase of the "Jersey beantv," Mike Kelly, by the Boston club, was about the only one of the thousands of rumors which were given space in the press which ever amounted to anything. Managers should remember that the public will soon tire of being misled, and will hereafter distinguish an item of news from an attempt at free adver tising. Game at Union City. Special to the Indiananolls Journal, Union Citt, June 18. A good game of baseball was played here to-day, between the Iiichmonds and the Unions, the latter winning by a score of 14 to 5. The game was anybody's up to the eighth inning, when eieht runs were scored on four hits, a base on balls and two errors. The features were the fielding of Vetz, the Union short-stop, who assisted in three neat double plays, and the pitching of Hoke. This is the latter's second game, and he struck out nine men, and but four hits were made off him. The score by innings is as follows: Union . . O O 3 O O O 1 8 214 Richmond 0 O O O 3 1 O 1 O 5 Itase-IIall Notes. Dalrymple has been laid off by the Pittsburg managemeut. . Corkhill of the Cincinnatis, has not dropped a fly this season. Boston is leading the League in base-running, with New xork second. The injuries of pitcher Hushes, of the Newark club, bave resulted in spinal meningitis. The Cyclones defeated the Tiptops yesterday morning on the Fletcher-avenue grounds by a score of 17 to 10. In a came at Clermont. Saturday, between the nine of that village and tue lioyaltons the former had an easy vietory. For the season, to date, Ferguson leads the struck-out record of the League, Ramsey tnat of the Association, and Lovett that of the Eastern League. Not a triple play has yet been made in the League. In fact, only three have been made this season: one in the Southern League, and two in the American Association. St. Louis Republican: Indianapolis's fielding in the twelve-inning game with Jrittsbnre, Thursday, was probably unprecedented. But one error of any description was made by them. Harry Wright is said to have been opposed to Weyhings release, but be was overruled. Weybing is pitching good ball for the Athletic club, and his release could not be bought lor $o,UU0. Umpire Joe Quest has beeu reinstated, and if he decides to resume umpiring, will preside at the Washington-Detroit games next week. Joe is inclined to think that he will play ball and let somebody else take the culls and kicks of the umpire s lot. Boston's feat in making ten runs in the tenth inning with New York, Friday morning, is about equal to a game in Cincinnati with Baltimore a few years ago. Nine innings were played without a run on either side, but in the tenth Cincinnati made 7, and Baltimore 4. It is said that the movement which was formulated in St. Louis, recently, to make Mr. Joe Pritcbard president of the American Association at the next election to b held for that office. has already assumed healthy proportions, and the chances are that he will be in that office by this time next year. Manager Bancroft is a hard man for a base ball player to please, so the players say. He is noted for the large number of players he has on his pay-roll during the season. Last year be had between forty and fifty players on the Kochester cino. tie will probably have nearly as many on the Athletic list before the season closes. Chad wick thinks the time is not ripe for the one-leagne scheme. . He savs: "With two leagues, one East and one West, we should have far greater rivalry for championship honors than we now bave, and, of course, more excitement and a larger patronage. Then. too. there would be a treble eon test each season; first, for the championship of each section, and then "for the championship of the United States. And what a grand series of matches the latter would be, while the struggle for the lead in the sectional pennant races would be fully as interesting as the contests now are for the League and Association pennants. This arrangement has got to come. It is only a question of time." Cleveland's Stupidity. New York Mail and Express. It was because of his impassiveness to the sentimental aspects of patriotism and the history of the war on both sides proved Beaconsfield's apothegm that "sentiment rules the world" that the President heedlessly and unintentionally exasperated the Union veterans by the tone of many of his vetoes of "little pension bills. " They could not enjoy the sort of humor that awkwardly ridiculed or satirized the ailments and disabilities of old soldiers. Bismarck's Opinion. Boston Transcript. Bismarck's opinion is that the laboring man needs a small quantity of spirit daily for nourishmentThe trouble is that ideas as to smaliness will always di Her. "What's a gallon of whiskv among one?" The Chancellor also contends that beer is the beverage of the comparatively well-to-do class, and is used as a time-killer princially.

COMMENCEMENT SEASON.

Exercises of the DePauw Literary SocietiesPresident Martin's Baccalaureate. special to the IndianaDOlia Journal Greencastle, June 18. The commencement exercises of the Philological and Platonean lit erary societies took place in Meharry Hall last evening, C. E. McNutt, president of Plato, pre siding. The following was the programme: Pbilo Valedictory, aThe Origin of Lan guage," George F. Keiper, '87; reply oration, "The Circle of Three," E. E. Everett, '88. Plato Valedictory, "Nature and Revelation," F. E. Miller, '87; reply, "Battle of Principles," F. F. Keeler, '8& After the above exercises, which were of un usual merit, were concluded, the diplomas were conferred upon the graduating members. At 8:30 a. m. on Sunday the annual class meeting was held in Plato Hall and was largely attended by citizens, alumni and old friends of the university, who delight to there meet once a year and recite their experiences. At 10 A. M. Meharry Hall was again crowded to its fullest canacitv. to hear the baccalaureate sermon by President Alexander Martin. D. D. The board of trustees and faculty and many of the promi nent visitors occupied seats upon the rostrum. After the reading of the Scripture by Dean Bow man, prayer was offered by Bishop Bowman, chancellor of the university. Miss Kate Ham mond, the popular contralto soloist, accompanied on the piano-forte by Dean Howe, of the school of music, then sang "Just as I Am" in her usual excellent manner. President Martin selected his text from the twenty-fifth chapter of Leviticus. After some remarks on the national tendency of man to ex press and embody emotion, thought and feeling iu enduring symbols, institutions and observ ances, he illustrated the subject by reference to the Heorew jubilee. The beneficient design of this institution was to prevent the alienation of that land, and that people which, in a special sense, belonged to God. Sickness and poverty might for a season disturb the divine order, but at jubilee, at the end of every half century, it had to be restored. The observance had also a spiritual significa tion. It was a type of the deliverance from the bondage of ignorance and sin which was undertaken and is being accomplished by our Lord Jesus Christ Reference was had to his first sermon in the synagogue, at Nazareth, when be took for his text, "The' spirit of the Lord is upon me because he htth anointed me to preach good tiding to the poor to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord." He dwelt on all that is implied in this, as to its design, the mode and the sure evidence of its fulfillment, 'lhe re lation and work of the church in regard to this jubilee was fully discussed. Passing over other approved and significant uses of the term, he spoke of Americas jubilee. How dark the night and how deep the oppres sion just before liberty, in the best sense of the word, was "proclaimed through all the land and unto all the inhabitants thereof." But when the lightnings ceased and the thunders died away bow bright and pure the sunshine, and how rich the harvest of good that followed. A noble testimony to the truth of God and the equality of man was lifted up, the noble army of heroes and martyrs was increased and the cause of humanity immeasurably advanced. Referring to the current commencement as the fiftieth year, or jubilee, of the university, he said: "Events, all too recent, impressively remind us why, in referring to thia anniversary, the semi-centennial, as the jubilee of the university. our hearts should be subdued, our words be few. The events of the last half-century, in church and in state, in our country and the world, are far too vast to permit enumeration here even of the more important. What development has there been fin the State of In diana, in the churches, the schools, the colleges of the State. With faith in God and hope for the future our fathers, divinely directed, here laid the foundation of this great enterprise. To trace its history and vicissitudes would be to trespass on work assigned to, and which will be -I well performed by others. The slightest glance compels us to exclaim with gratitude, 'What hath God wrought.' The names of Robert Stockwell, Jesse Meharry, Dr. George Manners, Dr. John R. Goodwin, Robert McKim and others, on earth and in heaven, too many to enumerate, rise up before us in fond array. The more than one thousand alumni, and many thousands additional who, short of graduation, still have been large partakers of their benefi cence are now noon life s stage doing battle man fully for God, and the right recur jo approve4hx wisdom and justify the expenditure of means. and of effort, and of sacrifice here made. And now that, under God, the future is secured by the generous provision made through the munificence of him whose name the institution so worthily bears, and who .honors it with the largest single charitable gift ever made in the history of Methodism, or in the history of what was formerly called the 'great West,' and one of the largest ever made by a private citizen in any part of the world in view of all these con siderations, and of the multiplied thousands of educated men and women who, from now on to the consummation of the world's history, shall here receive the greatest blessine of their exist ence the boon of a liberal Christian education have we not reason, as we are assembled in these halls, to raise our ebenezer and swell the anthem of our glorious jubilees He closed with a reference to the universal triumph of justice, love and truth contemplated in the establishment, and secured by the ultimate triumph of the kingdom of Christ in the world. Much as has been done we are yet in the early dawn of still better days. But few, comparitively, of the secrets of nature's great arcana bave been discovered. The complete and universal reign of righteousness is not yet established. And yet the word of God has many grand and glowing assurances that these things, even beyond what we can conceive, will in the future, be accomplished. In addressing the class more directly he held up Christ as the great central figure, directing and sustaining the powers of good, and making them, one by one, to triumph over all that would exalt and oppose itself against Him. He urged them to follow Him as their captain, and thus do something to help usher in the worlds last, best jubilee. The annual lecture was delivered at 3:30 by ex-Senator James Harlan, to a crowded assembly. After some beautiful music rendered by the college choir, he proceeded to discuss the following subject: "Are the Doctrines and Pre cepts of Christianity in Accord with the Deduc tions of Human Reason." In a very able and eloquent manner he found that they were, taking as the basis of his reasoning the following propositions: Ibat these doctrines and precepts are is manifest in the creation and preservation of life; in the plan of redemption as given to the world by Christ and as manifest in the observ ance of the crowning precept of Christianity "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart," and finally, that these dsctrines are vindicated by their effective utility and by a comparison of the Christian with the heathen nations of the world. Ex-Senator Harlan is of the class of '45 and was heard with great interest and attention, both as an alumnus of the university and as a distinguished statesman. The number enrolled during the year amounts to the large aggregate of 843 over one hundred more than any previous year. The number of graduates in various departments is over sixty. Forty-six of these is from the college of liberal arts alone. A NOTED CLERGYMAN. Stowaway, Thief, Gambler, Actor, and Jiow Baptist Minister. Washington Post. The Rev. Dr. Lorimer. of Chicago, has mailed to the committee of the Thirteenth-street Bap tist Church his response to their calL Should he accept and come to Washington, the congregation of that church will be under the charge of a man who has had a varied experience. In the first place. Dr. Lorimer came to Amer ica as a stowaway. Though the son of well-to-do parents m Scotland, he became imbued with. a spirit of adventure, and, with another lad, hid himself on board a steamer until the land bad been left far behind. When he came ashore at New York be was friendless and penniless. By working and by tramping he finally reached Louisville. There he became an actor. "I bave been everything bad that a man could think of," he is wont to tell his congregation. "1 gambled, I stole, I bave been down in the el urns. Thank God, that is all passed and I am here: bnt the lad who ran away with me has disappeared." While still an actor Dr. Lorimer drifted into church one evening and heard a sermon by the Rev. Dr. W. W. Evar?, a man whose name is revered by Baptists everywhere. The sermon converted the actor. More than that, it led bim from the stage to the pulpit. After a requisite amount of study in a theological seminary Dr. Lorimer was called to the pastorate of the Shawmut-avenue Baptist Church, in Boston. His salary for the first year was $6,000, and he had not been pastor very long before his con gregation made bin a present of another $1,000. Not only was his preaching eloquent, but he was full of energy and dramatie power. The congregations grew larger and larger, and be fore long a revival was begun, the like of which Boston bad not seen before. The whole city talked of the new preacher and his wonderful eloquence. it was but natural that when the Rev. Jut tin T. Fulton wa rallM to Brooklyn the Rev. Dr.

Lorimer should be chosen as his successor at Tremont Temple. During the first year of this pastorate Victor Emmanuel declared religious freedom in Italy, and the congregation of the Temple sent over their pastor to Rome in order that he might combine a vacation with missionary work. So quickly did ho reach Rome that he was the first Protestant minister to preach a sermon within the sacred city, and he selected for his pulpit a place which was literally under the shadow of the Vatican. Returning from Rome, be wrote a book relating bis experiences tbe, and shortly afterward accepted a call to Chicago, he is a man of marked peculiarities. His appearance does not indicate his abilities. Slight in stature, almost consumptive in bis looks, lacking all the outward qualities which are apt to impress men, he has yet the power to sway multitudes by the magic of his voice and words. So magnetic is his influence that 5,000 people have been known to follow with one accord the movements of his hands to and fro as he added dramatic gesture to impassioned eloquence. He is a born orator. His sermons are extemporaneous, and his language flows as easily as a mountain stream. Yet he is not a sensationalist. His manner is direct and impressive, and he adds to the force of his argument by stories inimitably told. He is a passionate lover of flowers and has the pulpit decked with them all the year round. He is an enthusiastic fisherman, and makes a jovial companion. ANNA DICKINSON VERT ILL.

Her Ultimate Recovery Hoped For Why She Wrote to Wilson Barrett. ScEANTOJf, Pa, June 18. Miss Anna Dickinson has had a narrow escape from death, and is still in a very feeble and precarious condition. This seems to be the culmination of a long period of illness extending over the past two years, and her friends who now look hopefully to her ultimate recovery rejoice to think that this heroic woman has come safely through the valley of the shadow of death. A little over two weeks ago Miss Dickinson's devoted sister, Susan, who of late has relinquished nearly all literary work so that she might be able to give her undivided attention to the distinguished invalid, took her to Honesdale in the hope that the pure air of the picturesque little town might be. able to do for her what medicine and medical attention had hitherto failed to accomplish. The two sisters bad spent some pleasant summers is the "Maple City," as Honesdale is sometimes called, and it was not altogether without its romantic and literary associations as well as its picturesque attractions, for just across the river Dy berry, rising abrubtly like a sentinel, is lrving's Cliff, named in honor of Washington Irving upon the occasion of the illustrious author's visit to this place many years ago in company with the well-remembered Philip Hone, from whom the town derived its name. Miss Dickinson's visit to Honesdale did not bave the desired effect. Instead of her condition improving she became worse, and a week ago last Sunday it was feared that she was at the point of death. In consideration of her feeble condition none of the church bells at Honesdale were rung for divine worship on that day, and many anxious inquiries were made after her health until late in the evening by her numerous friends. Gradually she began to improve, and now, thanks to the tender care bestowed on her, her f riends are able to announce that they consider the crisis of her disease is past, and, although she is still feeble, the fears of a return of dangerous and alarming symptoms are no longer entertained. Her physicians say that if she is to be herself again, and regain her former health, she must have a complete change of climate and a long season of rest from care and anxiety. This they deem an absolute necessity in order to restore her old-time power and vigor and interest in her work. While this brave woman has been, almost in solitude, making a prolonged fight with death, some of the newspapers have been printing pretended interviews with her. It is due to her even now, when at last she seems in a fair way to recovery although with a long convalescence before her to say that not one of those manufactured interviews was authorized by her. One of the alleged interviews, which made a great pretense to exactness of detail, represented her as being anxious to sell her play, "Aurelian," to Wilson Barrett during the visit of the English tragedian to this country, and that it was her desire to enact the part of Zenobia to the hero of the London star. This gave great offense to Miss Dickinson, especially as it was widely copied in the news papers, ana her many friends and admirers throughout the country will be interested to know that almost or quite the last thing that Miss Dickinson did before her illness took this last almost fatal phase was to write the following letter to Mr. Wilson Barrett on the eve of his sailing from America. Pittsbueg, Perm., May 15, 18 S7. To Mr. Wilson Barrett: There has recently been sent me a Philadelphia paper containing an alleged interview with myself, with the added information that your attention has been called to it. The article purports to set forth my intentions regarding my play of "Aurelian," to the axtent of settling the cast with Wilson Barrett in the title role, myself as Zenobia, the production to be in England, while also stating that I have never seen you. and am myself disabled by illness. Yon do not know me. nor are you yet entirely familiar with some of the methods of the American newspaper "reporter." Consequently it is due myself to state that the entire article, without abatement, is a lie. I have expressed to no one newspaper person or other person, in public or private any opinion in regard to your self, since prolonged sickness has forbidden the pleas ure of seeing you on the stage, nor any plan of my own in regard to future work here or abroad, nor any purpose in regard to "Aurelian,"' beyond a standing fromise to give some readings from it in the future as have given in the past. I am not an imbecile, and, therefore, decline to be held responsible for tho foolishness that I have reason to believe has been brought to your ear, and that has certainly been brought to your eye, in regard to this matter. lie assured if I had any business to set before you I would have done so at first hand, and not through the medium of an impertinent and irresponsible scribbler. Regretting the disagreeable necessity that compels this explanation, believe me to be yours very truly, AJJXA ii.. JJICKINSON. This letter is now made public for the first time, Miss Dickinson's immediate friends feel ing that its publication is due to her and to her many admirers throughout the country, who may bave been misled by the absurd interview of which it is a contradiction, and which is still going the rounds of the press. The u imes's cor respondent ascertained this morning that, al though Miss Dickinson is bright and clearheaded as ever, she is still so physically feeble that it will be some days before'she is able to ride out, and her physician thinks it will take a year's entire recruiting in a favorable climate to restore her to her former good health. Badly Off for a Leader. Winchester llerald. Indiana Democracy is in a bad way for a leader. Governor Gray is in the toils, having Harrison, Gapen & Co. fighting him, and McDonald and Voorhees secretly probing him whenever possible. Joseph E. McDonald has his faithful following, but they are a mere handful. Voorhees isn't now and never was a popular leader. Vice-president Hendricks, the only man with influence sufficient to reconcile contending factions, is no more. Bynum hasn't strength enough to do anything outside of bi3 own district. Leon Bailey, who posed so conspicuously last year, has been relegated to a deserved oblivion. The English family can hardly control themselves, let alone any one else. "Irea Ureen" omith is the only show for a great (?) leader, and may Providence 6 pare the mark. , The right honorable Simeon Coy might do some good, for he is, in every respect, a rep resentative Democrat, but be now sits witb bis feet in the stocks of public opinion, and his crest no longer waves o'er a triumphant host. The rag-tag and bob-tail Democracy will bave to fight it out without a leader, and we have them on the hip. Swore Oft Oil City Derrick. Secretary Whitney called at the White House yesterday, and, apologizing to the President for troubling him on such a small matter, said he would be obliged if he would return the um brella he had borrowed a few days before. 'Return UP exclaimed the President; "no. I'll be gin-swizzled if I do. See what a row I got into by offering to return those flags. Go 'long about your business. I return nothing. I wouldn't return a friendly nod, even if I should get one occasionally." Two of m Kind. Philadelphia Press. The ex-confederate General Rosser. who raised such a voluminous howl when he heard that General Sheridan ' was contemplating a horse-back trip through the Shenandoah valley, declares that be has no use for the Northern Democrats. In this respect General Rosser may felicitate himself upon being in full accord with the Hon. Grover Cleveland. Leave Her at Home. Philadelphia .North American. It is announced that Mrs. Cleveland will ac company the President on his trip to the wild eities of the West. Of course, that upsets all the old man's schemes. She Has Good References. Boston Herald.

CAUGHT ON THE FLY.

Tips from the Journal's State Exchanges Upoa Matters of Current Interest. Frankfort Banner: The Indianapolis Journal has made Tom Johnson's street railway management feel the force of a newspaper when it has right and justice behind its demands. Bluffton Chronicle: The Democracy of this State carries on its back Green Smith, the usurper; Dr. Howard, of rancid butter renown and brutal treater of the insane; Jack Howard, the defaulter and alleged murderer, of the Southern prison; Sim Coy and his dozen pals who forged tally-sheets. These are a sample of Democratic chickens that the Democratic press of the State are trying to protect and cover under its wing. Monticello Herald: Democrats of the bim Coy stripe have fallen on evil times. Illinois and Ohio have already been heard from in recording a verdict against the scoundrels who have attempted to corrupt the ballot. And now comes Indiana with a batch of the same kind of criminals, who will certainly find their way into the State's prison if the ends of justice are fairly met. Saloon-keeper Coy is the chairman of the Marion county Democracy, and he together with all the others implicated in the tally-sheet forgeries are Democrats. Crawfordsville Journal: Governor Gray is now termed "the mixer." In the character of "mixer" the Republican party of Indiana has no cause to complain of his stage presence or criticise the manner in which he played his part. He has the Democratic party most inextricably "mixed" just at present, so badly "mixed." in fact, that from the mass of legs and arms of the leaders as they lay in the mass it. would be impossible to tell Sim Coy from Ben Swank or Dr. Harrison from Voorhees Brookshire. Let the mix continue to mix. with Governor Gray still in the character of Hecate. Lawrence Mail: In order to "side-track" public attention, if possible, fftm the nefarious deeds of the Coy gang, the Democratic friends of the tally-sheet forgers procured an indictment against General Carnahan, chairman of the Republican central committee of Marion county, charging him witb a violation of the law in a circular issned by him to the voters of said county. An examination of this circular reveals the fact that it simply gives information in regard to the election laws of the State, and was issued for the purpose of defeating the criminal purposes of the Coy gang. He Knows lietter Now. Philadelphia Press. Cleveland's policy, his preference, his purpose, his desire stays unchanged. If his first wish were had the flags would go back. But thf stay. The people still guard the battle-flags thpeople won. Even President Cleveland knows now that the war is not forgotten. Even a Democratic administration cannot safely trifle with its memories. They Recognize His "Good Will. Charleston News and Courier. There will be some disappointment at the failure to receive the old' flags when expected, but North and South alike can wait a little longer. The President's good will and good intentions have been manifested once more, and the kindly feelings aroused by his order will not be changed or weakened by its necessary withdrawal. Jealous of the Ohio Town. Oil City Derrick. One of the Findlay transparencies was "Women Cut No Wood in Findlay." That is because there is no wood to be cut. . If there was the ladies would have to cut it, because the men are too busy watching the trains for thriftylooking strangers. Why They Love Dudley. Atlanta Constitution. Col. W. W. Dudley, of Indiana, wants to place cable roads in various parts of the country. As Dudley is the only Republican that ever re signed an office, we wish him well. If there were more Dudleys the Democrats would hav6 a bigger showing. Cleveland's Unhappy Thought. Philadelphia Press. Perhaps Mr. Cleveland thought the rebel battle-flags would come handy for use in Democratic processions when he again runs for President. C, H- & D, Attractions.
