The President Takes a More Hopeful View of the Illness of Ills Wife. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington. Oct. 2. If growing no weaker, an increase of sleep, less nervous restlessness an ability to take and properly assimilate more food, even though it may continue to be in liquid form, and no way diminishing in strength, but fully holding her own since coming here from Loon Lako, is growing better, such may be said to be the present conditions of Mrs. Harrison. Her condition is yet too critical to adm.t of her taking any interest in a flairs outside her sick chamber, but she is brighter, more cheerful, and since the President has concluded that she has no orgauio or constitutional ailment, he has hopes, and really believes now that she may recover. Mrs. Harrison during her long illness, and from loss of sleep and lack of surticiejit nourishment, has been greatly reduced physically, but she has begun to look and act likeono who had passed the crisis and would come out of the shadow of death, which haa been over her so closely for some weeks.

"League President Young Says Salaries of Flayers 3Inst lie Iteriircen. Washington, Oct, 2. There are between ?.000 and 210.0CO of notes dne by the National Base-ball League, which will have to be paid, and the special meeting to-morrow of the magnates is called to arrange for the payment. President Young is coniident that there will be little ditbenlty in making n settlement. "It is folly,' ho said, sneaking to-day, "for any oue to believe that the League could go on and pay the present euormons salaries, or that outside capitalists would sink monev in any opposition to tbe present organization. It has come down to a plain state of affairs. Either salaries must be reduced or professional babe-ball go to the wall. The men who have invested their money in the game have an iuterest in base-ball being continued, and the fact that they are going down in their pockets to make np lor losses show their determination to remain "in the business.' .

MYSTERIOUS CASE OF SUICIDE.

Married Woman Held to' Await the Coroners Inquiry Into th Death f a Yoanj: 3Ian. Chicago, Oct 2. There is some little romance and considerable mj6try connected with the death of Frank Mezick. the young man who committed suicide by taking morphine. Saturday afternoon.' while in the company of Mrs. Hathaway. The woman in the case is not quite twenty years old. and is the wife of a wealthy contractor in Cleveland. She quarreled with her husband and came to Chicago 'two weeks ago. She says she has been stopping at the Wellington Hotel for the past week, under an assumed name, but refuses to give the namo under which she registered. It appears that Mezick and the woman bud been together during the afternoon and 'the woman, claims that be took poisou. Mrs. Hathaway says she was very much frightened and wanted to' call a physician, but Mezick insisted upon her going with him in a cab to the house of Mrs. Etta Lawrence, No. U5 Tweutieth street. Tho couplo arrived- at the above num ber at about ?:S0 o'clock in' the evening, aud were met at the door by 3Irs. Lawrence. Mrs. Hathaway explained that her companion was sick and requested that he be given a room. Being acqnaiuted with Mezick Mrs. Lawrence readily gave him a room. Mr. Lawrence assisted Mrs. Hathaway invremoving Mezick's coat and he lay down on the bed. Mrs. Lawrence left the room and went down stairs. In about live minutes Mrs. Hathaway ran down stairs and told Mrs. Lawrence that Mezick hud taken poisou. Mrs. Lawrence refused to allow her to leave the house and sent for a physician, and the two woman went together to Mezick's room. He was unconscious, tmd upon the arrival of the physician was past aid. Mrs.; Hathaway then went for Dr. Tallmau, and upon his arrival the police were notified and Mezick was removed to the MercyHospital, where he died at 4 o'clock thismorning. Lieutenant llealy, of the Cot-, tage Grove-avenne station, at once took Mrs. Hathaway into custody to await the; action of the coroner's jury and to be used as a witness before that body. ' Mrs. Hathaway was seen at the Cottage' Grove-avenue station this afternoon, but was rather reticent and declined to talk freely about the matter. She is a rather prepossessing blonde, of medium height, and builu, and miihII features. "1 will be twenty years old in December," shn said, "and 1 have been married a little over three , years. 1 ave a baby girl two years of age. My husband is a contractor in Cleveland, O. 1 could not get along with him and left him a few weeks ago. 1 have been stopping at the Wellington Hotel for a week, and registered under my maiden name.' Me.ick's parents are highly respected in Baltimote, where, they reside, and his father is said to be one of the wealthy and . influential citizens of that city. The suicide's father wns telegraphed for, and he is now on his way to this city. XOT SEPARATED IN DEATH. A Georgia Woman Who Kfcps Her Husband's Embalmed Body in th Parlor. Cordelk, Ga., Oct. 2. The embalmed body of a man. upright in a glass-faced metallic ooftin, holding a gold-headed cane in the baud, and with a profusion of diamonds and other jewelry, decorates the parlor of Mrs. George W. Marvin's bandtonio residence in this town. The embalmed body is that of her husband, who died on the 10th day of last July. Dr. Marvin was the wealthiest man in Cordele. He was president of tho bank, and was worth something over -00,C0a Dr. Marvin and his wife were infidels, though but few people knew it uutil his death last July. Mrs Marvin was wild with srief at the time of her husband's death, and made the startling announcement that she bad made a solemn compact with, her husband before his death, agreeing that they ' both would enter oblivion at as near the same time as couU be easily arranged bv means of suicide. She stilt contemplates taking her own life as soon as she has mnde some arrangements fur the permanent interment of her husband's remains. v When the Doctor died tbe body' was followed lt tho grave in the little cemetery by all the people of the town. Four daysaf ter burial, in the darkness of the night, there was another funeral procession, but no carriages followed the bearso and no one on foot accompanied tbe dead, except those who helped to dig tbe earth from above the colli n and bear t he corpse back to the place from which the first procession had started. In tho dead of the night a few trusted friends, whom Mrs. Marvin had requested to net. went to the cemetery and brought back the body. Next morning an embalmer arrived from New Orleaus And embalmed the body. At tbe same time an Italian sculptor began preparing plans for an immense mausoleum toa be erected in Cordele in memory- of Dr. Marvin. If the orgmal idea had been carried out this town would have had the most magnlticent tomb in Georgia. But Mrs. Marvin has given up the idea of building the tomb and substituted the building of a college as a living monument to her husband's memory. Mrs. Marvin refuses to separate the jewelry and the remains of her husband. To bury him in a cemetery she fears the body will be exhumed and the jewels stolen. Therefore the body is kept in tbe parlor of her house and will stay there nntil she decides some sort of a safe tomb for the remains of herself and husband. When such is prepared by her own hands she says she will join him. CKMdUL WEATHER BULLETIN. Forecast for.Mondy. Washington, Oct. 2, 8 p. M. For In diaifa Warmer; fair; southwest winds.'

In bis letter of acceptance Grover Cleveland makes a bid for the soldier vote by devoting a paragraph of hypocritical praise to the men who saved the Nation in the hour of dancer. The veterans know Mr. Cleveland. '1 hey know Benjamin Harrison. No amount of flattery by the Democratic candidate or of falsification by his party organs can obliterate the record.

Washington Letter, in Philadelphia Record. President Harrison, like ex-President Cleveland and several other men in publio life, who have been given the reputation in the newspsnpers of being "cold. by which is usually meant. 1 suppose, reserved and uncommunicative, is a man of warm feeling aud keen sensibilities. Far from being an iceberg, or anything else that is frosty or frozen, he is a man of deep atiection and tender sympathy. It is true that be does not wear his heart on bis sleeve; it is true that his manner is calm most of the time and that he never gushes. There is perhaps also a certain constraint in his manner, especially when be is meeting strangers or receiving personal compliments But 1 am convinced, from personal observation of and experience with him ever since he came to the Senate, that what is thought to be coolness or coldness in his manner is diflidence. It may seen strange to those who have only seen him on publio occasions, or perhaps have only seen his picture and read his speeches in the newspapers, but the fact appears to be that he is modest almost to the point of self-distrust, and is really embarrassed when he seems arrogant and condescending. . It is dithcult, of course, for a man who customarily conceals bis personal feelings, as President Harrison does, to change the impression which his manner bus made. Yet every now and then, as on Wednesday morning, when he walked weemug into.the White House, before the stretcher bearing the emaciated form of his wellbeloved wite, there comes out an expression of his inner self which strikes most people as a startling revelatiou. We who live in Washington aud remember all tne sympathetic, loving kindness which he has shown to friends in atlliction as for example, to the general Knowledge in the sad winter of two years ago, when Secretary Blaine lost his daughter and bis son. and within a month Secretary Tracy suffered nnder a more horrible calamity are not as surprised at new demonstrations of feeling on tho part of the President as are the people away from here, who forgot so soon what they know only from reading the newspapers. t Yet President Harrison ordinarily appears so self-contained and so selt-sutti-cient that be seems a different man in times of distress and grief. I have good reason to bofieye that his desire to remain with his wife, whom he believes to be dying, was'not tho only reason whish moved President Harrison todecline after his return to meet his old comrades, even for half an hour, at the r coption to the members of tbe encampment in tbe Pension OtbVe on Thursday night, where be was expected to make the speech ot his life. i know, m fact, that he waa actually afraid lest his anxious grief over his wife, combined with his memories of the sufferings and eacritlces of the war, should overWhelm him when stauding before bis audience of veterans, so that be would be unable to proceed with his speech. At the same time it was oue of tho great disappointments of his life not to be able to take the part which be had been expecting to take in the transactions of this week here in Washington. He bad been looking forwaid to it all the year and planning for it for months. He bad talked it over so often with' Mrs. Harrison that it was not strange that she should have insisted upon returning to Washington, with the hope that wheh '-he got back he would be able to carry out some part of bis programme, or that her return, in spite of the inevitable incidents of travel and the excitements of the crowded streets, with the noisy bands and the cheering veterans, should really have done her good. If he had been able to be hero President Harrison would have been the foremost figure of tbe week. On Monday he wonld have made tbe speech of dedication in the ceremonies at Grand Army Place; on Tuesday he would have marened in the proces? sion, not like Uncle Jerry Husk, on a horse, but like ex-President Hayes, on foot, and then would have reviewed the great column as soon as its head reached the Treasury Department, when be would have been whirled to the reviewing stand in his carriage; on Tuesday night and on Wednesday he would have attended reunions of his army, his corps, his regiment, and so on, and in the evening of Wednesday he would' have given a reception to the visitors at the White House: on Thursday he would huve attended other reunions, and in tbe evening would have made the great speech at the reception committee to the encampment at the Pension Oftice; and every night in the week he would have entertained tho more distinguished men in town at banquets in tbe state dining-room. Filling out this skeleton with tho body which bis personality, position and eloquence would huve given it, you can see how much it meant to him and sohow much he missed. His absence meant a great deal , to the Grand Army of the Republic, but it meant a great deal more to him. I have no idea that he gave any considerable plsce in bis anticipations to the possible political advantage which might accrue to him as a candidate for re-election from this reunion with his old comrades. ' , Dvorak's Arrival. New Tork Letter. The coming of Dvorak is an event which has greatly interested musical circles, and h3 is to be feted and honored by an imposing musical ceremonial in a few days. His rather romantic career adds to the interest in the man, and his reputation as perhaps the greatest of living orchestral composers causes musioians to give him that homage which Von Bulow, and Tcbaiskofaky and Paderewski have re ceived here in recent years. Mrs. Thurber has done a great ileal for musical development in America, and she is nowcontemt . m. ft Plating a revival or tne national opera scheme through a union of what is left of it with what remains of the Metropolitan organization, but perhaps not the least of her achievements is tbe capture of Dvorak, who hi very likely to make New York his permanent home.

WAGES OP RAILWAY EMPLOYES. A General Increa of 10 Cents a Day Wonty Bankrupt Two-Thirds of the Companies. Ball way Age. There are about 800.0C0 employee in the service of the railways of the United States. ' An increase of wages of CO cents a day to all employes (supposing one-half of the entire number to work on Sundays and the

other half to be paid for only six days in the week) would make being $101.70 to tbe man a year a total increase in payment for wages on all the railways of $S7,C 00.000 annually. Hut during the year 181 the entire amount of money paid in dividends on air the stock of all the railways of the country only amounted to 5,000,000. bo that a general increase in wages of only SO cents a day wonld just about wipe out the entire revenue of the railways of the United States available for dividends. As a matter of fact the results would be even mere appaliing than the above statement indicates. The dividends which nre paid are paid, on tbe stock of a comparatively small number of companies. Of the entire amount of stock of all railwavs in the country (amounting to some ?4;KK),000,000) nearly $.3,000,000,000 are already unproductive of revenna, or about t'A per cent. The least productive lines, of coarse, are thoso of the West and Southwest But theemployes are scattered all over the country, and the burden of increased wage payment would have to be borne in the Southwest as well as in-New England. Thus, there are J0,000 employes- in the State of Texas which, at :X) cents a day. amounts to over $2,000,000 annually. But in the Interstatecommerce Commission's territorial division which includes the State of Texas the "total dividends' were something less than 84.000, and, in the language of the statistician to the commission, "net darnings were a minus quantity." Where would those $2,000,000 for an increase in wages come from? Where - is' any increase in expenses, for that matter, for wages or any other purpose, to come from for the railways of Texas! Take, again, any of the large granger roads, employing from 25,000 to SO.Ooo men. Tbe increase of HO cents a day would mean to such a road from $2,500,000 to $3,000,000 a year. What road could pay tbatf A genorar increase of wages to all railway einployesof even 10 cents aday would,, within two years, send two-thirds, at loast, of the companies which are nominally solvent to-day into bankruptcy; and would produce such a universal panic, such an utter wreck of credit that every employe wonld sutler fifty times more tnan he would gain by any advance. These are facts. Anybody can verify tbe figures in a tew minutes. But we conjecture that they are lacts which neither thi railway employes, as a whole; nor the public at all understands at present It is unquestionably hard for a man to work and have to support himself and perhaps a family on $1.50 or $l.b0 a day. But it is also hard for tho people who have saved uo their .money all their lives aud invested in railway securities, to find, in their old age, that the securities are worth-. less. At present the amount of money' paid annually in their pay-rolls by all the railway companies of tbe country is about $250.0 10.000 though there have not apparently been any exact figures compiled covering this question. Tho amount paid to stockholders is. as has been said, $8.).000,000. It is impossible to strike a balance and say what wonld be a jest proportion tor the stockholders and the laborer respectively to receive of the proceeds of the railways. Of course without the laborers the stockholders' property would produce no revenue at ail. And, conversely, without the stockholders there would be no property for the laborers to be engaged upon. The difference, however, is that the poy-rolls must be paid, while a divinend can be passed. Both tne railway-owners aud the railway employes have sutlered enough under stress of tbe constantly declining rates through the uuited influences of excessive competition and adverse legislation. Tbe owners have, suffered most, and their profits have now been reduced to a point where any material increase in wages at their expense is out of the question. Even a total sacrifice of their entire interests would afTord only a trifling relief when divided among all the employes. With rates and earnings at their present level any general iucrease of wages on railways is hopelessly impossible. But a general increase is only an aggregation of individual increases, and before any particular class of railway men make up their minds that they are aggrieved and ought to receive bighcr pay. it is well that they should understand these facts. Before they cau pay more money tbe railways must earn more. They cannot, for any length of time, pay out moneys which they do not receive. MBS. WIIITELATV KEID. Though fired In Luxury, the Wife of the Next Vice-President Has Simple Tastes. Harper's Weekly. At the present moment Mrs. Whitelaw Reid is invested with an interest which appertains to but few of her country women. In her existing station her qnalities and opportunities make it evident that be will continue to be an attractive and influential figure in our American life. In the event of her residence at Washington as the wife of the Vice-president, the conditions are such that the capital will have none to cboose before her as an active leader in all that makes society brilliant and distinguished. Mrs. Keil, formerly Miss Elizabeth Mills, was born in tb city of .New York. Jan. C. 1858. and her early life was divided between ' , the residence of her grandfather. Mr. James Cunningham, at lrvington-on-the-Hudson. and those of her father. Mr. D. O. Mills, in Sacramento, Cat, aud at bis country place, "Millbrae,' seventeen miles south of San Francisco. Her grandfather, Mr. Cunning ham, was a well-known ship-owner and 1 -It . a - .av - suip-ouuuer oi mat a ay. At tne time or her birth he bad largely retired from oustnees, but was still the owner of many vessels, one of them being the famous steamboat The Senator, which was the first of its kind sent around the Horn to navigate the Sacramento river after the discovery of gold. Miss Mills's early training was intrusted to governesses in the family. When she finally was sent to sohool, it was in company with her orphan cousin, the danghter of her father's only sister, Mrs. Laston. This cousin subsequently became tbe .wife of Col. Charles F. Crocker, the first vicepresiaent of the Central aud Southern Pacific railways. For a time Miss Mills was placed in the school of Mile. Vallette. in Paris. She afterwards 'completed the course of study iu Miss Brackett's school in New York, where she was a favorite pupil of that earnest and distinguished teacher. Her father. Mr. D. O. Mills, became a banker before he was twenty years old. being a partner and one-third owner in the private bank conducted by his cousin, Mr. G. J. Townseud, of Buflato. He had gone to California on the news of tbe discovery of gold in lHiy. where be established what was known then as tbe Gold Bank of D. O. Mills JSc Co., in Sacramento, an institution which, under the same ownership, and with the slightly-changed name of the National Bank of D. O. Mills !fc Co., continues to tbis day the largest bank in Sacramento, and the oldest bank which has always maintained full credit in the State of California. After tbis achievement Mr. Mills had qganized tho Bauk of California in San i rancisoo. had made it a notable success, and then retired from it; but be returned when calamities befell the bank under hie successor, and succeeded in rstoriug it to more than its former credit and prosperity. He then withdrew, from business, devoting himself to the care of his great and increasing estate, and in 179 removed his residence to his native State of New York. Misa Mills, when not at school or with her grandfather at hu country place at Jrvington. was with her parents, first in Sacramento, and afterwards at Millbrae. The latter was then the finest and most extensive country place on the Pacific coast. It comprised the old Burro-Burro ranch of f.000 acres. The house was surrounded by spacious ornamental grounds, largely planted with semi-tropical trees aud shrubs many of them imported from the Sandwich Islands. China and Japan. It was tilled with works . of art, the picture gallery embracing an unusual number of line paintiugs. chiefly by the foromost masters of the modern French school. Here "the daughter of tho house'' grew tip with that fondness for the country nnd for a simple aud natural life which has always characterised her. She first met her future husband in California, at her fathers residence, in 13??. Up to that date itmavbethat lir. Leid's successful ab-

That Tired Feeling .The marked benefit which people ovcrcotao by That Tired reeling derive from Hood's Sr

saparilla, conclusively proves that this mcJIcino "makes the wealc strops." J.CEmerton. a well known merchant of Auburn, Maine, says: "About five years 0O I began to suHer with very severe pain ia my K torn ach, gradually gro w ing worse. I took Hood's Sarsaparill.o, being convinced Sir. J. IS. Unierton. that I was troubled" with Dyspepsia complicated with "Liver and ILiduey trouble. I Improved at onco and am certainly very much better and feel more like working. Mood's SarsapariEIa alwavs give? me relief and prat comfort. It ia a Caod-ACEktl to any one suffering as I did." HOOD'S PlLLS cure Ulitnat Constipation by restoring peAitaiUo action ot the alimentary caiuL sorption in his profession in those heroio times had kept bun heart-free. Possibly he had vowed, with iienedick, that "till all graces be in oue woman, one woman shall not come in my grace. The event bat proved that beat last chose ono most happily adapted to his own temper aud career. He had gained a prominence so enviable that any woman could take pridein sharing his future. He had risen, through sheer ability aud work, to be the chief of the powerfiil and historic Tribune: be hall a competence, a good presence, strong allies, and was in his prime. To friends on either side the alliance seemed auspicious, and it may now be pleasantly cited in support of out modern doctrine of 'reciprocity." The two were married in Mew York in April. 1S1. and, altera brief visit to the husband's old home in Ohio, went immediately abroad, spending tbe next nine or ten months in Kurope, and a large part of the time in London and Pans. After tne engagement was arrnounced, but before the marriace, the Berlin mis sion. which had been previously tendered to Mr. Held by President Hayes, was again offered by President Garfield, and Mies Mills was asked whether or not she would goubroad as wife of the American minis ter to Germany. She preferred the liberty of private life, and the mission was for the second time declined. Ten years later, after some hesitation, she returned to Kurope at the head of the American minister's home in Paris. She has had three children, two of whom survive Ogden Mills Keid, now in his eleventh year, and Jean Templeton Held, now in her ninth year. The, children hava been thus far trained entirely at home. They are well advanced in the ordinary studies, and have a fair speaking knowledge of Knglish, French and German. . They have also had pretty thorough tr.iiu- . ing for their age in gymuastics and borne-back-riding. But if anything more is said hereof these young thoroughbreds they doubtless will not be permitted to read this sketch of their mother. Mrs. Be id's social tact has been evident since her first assumption of duties as the mistress cf her husband's home, notably iu the bounteous regime of their house on Madison Hill and tbe more conspicuous hospitalities of diplomatio life at Paris. At Ophir Farm, the resources of which ore those of the greatest country-scat, her grace and ability are finely brought into play. Mrs. Keid's studious niiud is well disciplined, and to her intuitive taste is added the rare good judgment which her father possesses so eminently. It is not strange that she and her hodseholdhave so absolute a bold upon bis heart. ZSJGPUUI.ZUAN FINANCIEU1KO. Senator Sherman Sketches Tersely tho Ileoord of the l'arty. New Tork Independent. ' The financial legislation of the Republican party constitutes a series of landmarks of American progress. The great measures of tbe war period were those providing for the issue and ultimate redemption of the legal-tender greenbacks, and for the establishment of the national-bank system. These wero followed, after the war, by tho refunding and resumption acts. The general principles upon whioh this legislation was grounded assumed that public debs was to be regarded always as a temporary burden, to be paid as rapidly as possible, and that every promise tnade to creditors mue; be fully redeemed. Although a debt was contracted so vast in volume that oue years interest upon it exceeded the financial obligatious incurred, during the war of tho revolution, provision wns made for its rapid conversion into securities bearing low rates of interest, and for the paymeut of two-thirds of it during the lite of a aiusle generation. The taxpayers of the period of the civil war wero compelled to do their diity .as well as tho soldiers were doing theirs in the field. Taxation was kept at the highest aggregate which industry would bear, and the burden of the debt was virtually carried by tbe generation which incurred it, Tho success ot the refunding acts was largely dependent upon the resumption of specie payments. That was a supreme act of good faith which established publio credit on so high a plane that refunding operations were conducted with extraordinary lacility. In consequence of thirty years experi- ' encewith Republican tinaucial legislation, the Americau people have the proud lis tinction of being tne only great nation that pays its debts. They have also a currency which was brought by laborious processes to par with gold. They have also a nation nl-bank system which has steadily grown in popular lavor, and under which not a dollar hast ever been lost to a noteholder, and only tho smallest traction to depositors. 'All thesj great policies have been accomplished without the aid of the Democratic party. Tho funding net of lb70, by which tho rates of iuterest on the debt were changed by the conversion of all classes of national securities, was passed without a single Democratio vote in either house. "The resumption act of 1?.1 was opposed by every Democrat in both houses. The national banking act was denounced as unconstitutional by the Democratic patty during the war, and its ' hostility to the system has not ceased tc this day, when the rental of the tax ou State bank issues is deliberately proposed in its national platform. That party thirty years ago defended these State- issues, altbouch they were not secured, and had no uniform value throughout the country, were easily counterfeited and displaced greenbacks. It advocates a return to the same system now, aud apparently from a deliberate preference for an inferior currency. Jn like manner a majority of the same party, instead of co operating with the Republican party in adjusting the relations between gold and silver so that both metals will circnlato at par with each other, favor unlimited free coinage, by which gold will be drained out of the treasury and the country plunged he ad long into monometallism ou the lowest plane. $7.
