Great Demonstration in Honor of the Allies of France. The Czar's Sailors Given a Hearty WelcomeThe Army About to Desert the Brazilian President. TOULON. Oct. 13. This city was crowded with people to-day, all anxious to honor the visiting Russians who had come with their fleets of war ships. Every 'man, woman and child seemed determined to corral at least one Russian sailor and try to make him as happy as possible during his stay at this port. From the earliest hours of the morning excursion trains were run Into the city, bringing thousands of country people, with their families and lunch baskets, determined to see the show. All the shipping in the harbor Is decorated from stem to stern with the brightest of marine raiment. In the harbor the vessels are flying tho Russian colors alongside the trt-color of France. At 9 o'clock an Immense crowd of small crafts accompanied the French cruiser Davoust down the harbor. Upon the Davoust wera the members of the Russian embassy In full uniform, detailed to give the Russian welcome to the visiting sailors of the Czar. The Davoust was escorted to the outer roadstead by four French dispatch vessels and by six torpedo boats, all gaily bedecked with flags and looking as bright and sprltely as ever such craft3 did In the history of marine entertainment. Thl3 fleet steamed out as the news was telegraphed In tnat tho Russian squadron had been sighted fifteen miles out at sea, and M. De Giers, the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs and the councillor of the Russian embassy, with the naval attaches and others, proceeded 'in a special boat at D:30 a. m. to give the preliminary welcome to the Russians. As was anticipated, the excitement of the Frenchmen was intense. They shouted and cheered, cried "Vive la Russie," "Vive la France" and "Vive la Republlque," as if their very lives depended upon making as much nole as possible. M. De Giers met the Russian squadron In the roadstead and boarded the flagship Emperor Nicholas I. from xri3h the flag of Admiral Avelian was Gjria. The dispatch boat having M. De Giers ca board ran alongside the Russian flagship, and the dlplomate and Admiral met. On board the flagship M. De Giers presented Admiral Avelian with the most cordial welcome from1 the French Minister of Marine and from the French nation generally. Salutes were exchanged with the forts, bands played, flags were dipped and the most noisy and Joyous time possible was Indulged in by both Russians and their French hosts. The Russian vessels passed Jn the entrance to the harbor at 11:45, proceeding In single file, headed by the Admiral's flagship. The customary salutes were exchanged and vociferous cheers arose form the Russian and French ships and the thousands of craft around them. The address of welcome of Mayor Prosper Ferrero, of Toulon, was delivered to Admiral Avelian. It says that he represents all the departments of France, and that they desire to express the sympathy felt by France toward Russia, and wish to show that the hearts of all Frenchmen beat together and are animated by one feeling. Continuing, the Mayor's address says: "Tour visit cements the friendship between the two nations and proves the afllnlty existing between the two races." DESERTING PEIXOTO. The Brazilian Army Inclined to Join the Rebellions JVavy. MONTEVIDEO. Oct. 13. Advices from Rio de Janeiro are that the army, which has hitherto been loyal to Pelxoto's government, is likely to Join the naval Insurgents. Two battalions of the National Guard have revolted and have declared for the rebels. It Is believed that the disaffection will spread rapidly, and that more of Pelxoto's troops will soon declare their adherence to Admiral de Mellos's cause. The rebel squadron In front of Rio de Janeiro Is inactive, owing to the lack of ammunition. Hostilities, It is believed, will be resumed as soon as the steamer Ciudade de Porto, which is carrying supplies to Admiral de Mellos, reaches him. The revo lutionary uprising in the southern province of Rio Granle do Sul is daily gaining strt-ngth. A larg2 force of the rebel army is besieging Uvranido, and the residents fear that an attack on the city will soon be made. Details of the bombardment of Rio by the ccived.

MIDNIGHT FLOGGERS

Six White Caps on Trial for Cruelly Whipping a Woman. Confession by One That 3Iay Result in Conviction of AllArrest of a Suspected Burglar. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SALEM. Ind.. Oct. 13. The noted White Cap case in which James Dalton, Elijah Dal ton. James Payton, George Holesapple, Ed Eoling and Taut Barnett are charged with conspiracy, and also with whit ping Mrs. Emily Dalton, about midnight on Aug. 5, Is on trial here. A large crowd is in at tendance. A sensation was created at the beginning of the triai when Jame3 Payton turned State's evidence and confessed. He said that on the night of the whipping, himself. George Holes3pple and James Dal ton hired a spring wagon at Salem, and together with Taut Barnett, who was too drunk to stand or sit, they drove to the Dalton house, nearly twenty miles away. He said that Holesapple and Dalton told him they went to make peace between Dalton and his wife. But when they got there thev t6ok the woman from her bed. and while James Dalton held her hands around a post George Holesapple whipped her with a sapling until her night shirt was so cut and torn that it fell from her bleeding and bruised body. Elijah Dalton, her husband, stood quietly by and made no effort to interfere. Once in a while Hole sapple would stop whipping to see how badly the woman was hurt, but Payton, t appears, made no effort to interfere. So far no conspiracy is proven, out tne principals seem certain of a term at the Prison South. There is great indignation against them. The woman is still unable to use one of her arms, and her boay is terribly bruised. She recotmized every one of her tormenters as soon as confronted by them, they having used matches to make light to see how badly she was hurt while they were whlDDlntr her. Probably the big gest crowd of witnesses ever called in a case here was present, altogether 133, but they were not needed after Pay ton s con fession, which knocked out the defense. The defendants waived trial by jury. Judge Voyle is therefore trying the case alone. The sentiment or the people is wnoily against the defendants, although three may escape with light punishment.

Many will be Inclined to discredit the statement that spider-raising is an estabnsned industry in Chattanooga, and is be ing successfully conducted by Ernest Reyoer, the proprietor of the Enterprise bottling works on Cowart street Mr. Reyber estimates that between live thousand and six thousand of these insects make their homes in his bottling department, which oc cupies a large room probably sixty feet square. The ceiling is fairly covered with thousands upon thousands of little patches of fibery material, within which the insects nest and lay their eggs. At this season they spend little time in their nests, but in daytime hide in dark, out-of-the way cracks and corners, but in easy command of their woven snares. Spider-webs are everywhere, spanning the space between the iloor and ceiling or spread about the machinery, in front of the window wherever, in fact, the busy weavers can find from which to hang their network. A big corner of the room is besides given up to the Insects, which have apparently divided the space into many fourwalled apdrtments. -air. Keyber is a nleasant and intelligent talker and a shrewd observer. His fair complexion betokens his Teutonic descent. baiu he: "Those creatures know more than a great many people. I keep them because they wage such constant war on tiles, cockroaches and other such vermin which are very troublesome to me, and which are attracted by the syrups, sugars, etc., used in the bottling business. A spider never cares ror sweet things nor drops into my vats or bottles. Files and cockroaches are nature's scavengers, but those spiders watch everyone that approaches like hawks, and soon lure him Into their meshes. I never disturb them when I can help It except to feed them occasionally. They ap pear to Know my call, and will come when called and crawl upon my hand, or take a ny rrom my fingers. They are tame, and have never bitten me. though I couldn't promise so much to a stranger. This spider is an hibernating animal, and shuts himself up during most of the winter in those little nests jtou see stuck like mud daubs on the ceiling. When winter comes I brush away all these webs, for the spiders prefer to weave new webs every spring." as a cow must be milked every day. this wary and provident little creature must un ravel every spring the silken fabric that is stored In its body. He does not make his appearance till May, when the flies have laid their eggs and hatched their first young, else the fly crop would soon give out. Meantime the hundreds of eggs which each tplder laid during the previous sum mer ana fall have been going through a process of incubation, and now turn out with the older ones to seek a living for themselves. Mr. Reyber has encouraged the insect to harbor in his establishment for two years past, and finds the spider of such practical utility as to be almost in dispensable. SHE LACKED EXPRESSION'. And Is Hardly Likely to Become a Great Actress. Buffalo Express. She was a pretty girl, so far as her features went, but her face was as expressionless as a concrete sidewalk. She was well dressed, too, and she walked into the office of the manager of a local theater with all the self-assurance of the most soubretty soubrette in the business. She looked at the man at the desk, who was rerding a newspaper and smoking a cigarette, with a vacant sort of stare, and said, stolidly: "I want to see the manager." "I'm the manager, madam," said that worthy, politely, taking his feet off his desk, removing his cigarette, doffing his hat and dusting off a cna.lr with his handkerchief at one and the same time. She looked him over for a moment. Then she said in the same sort of voice that she would ask for some more butter at dinner: "I want to act." "You want what?" asked the manager. "I want to act." "What for?" "Oh. I think it's nice." "Whjere?" "In a theater." "When?" VTm ready to begin now." "Ever had any experience?" "No." "Ever acted in amateur performances?" "No." "Then what makes you think you can act?" "Oh, I don't know. I Just want to." "Where do you live?" "My father keeps a saloon over here on the East Side." The manager's face brightened. "Where is it?" he asked, with quite a show of interest She told him, and he turned to his desk and looked through a little book. "Any)ody hang bills in your windows now?" he asked. "No, sir: pa won't lot them." "Couldn't you get me the privilege?" "I guess so." "Will you?" "Yes, sir, if you will let me act." "Well, you go home and fix It up with your father. Things are a little dull In the acting business just now. You come around next June when the hard times are over and I'll arrange it so you can act. Goodbye. Don't forget about the windows." She went out smiling,- and the manager shouted to the treasursr: "Tell those lithographers to hustle down to street and swipe that window." And that is as near as the girl will ever get to being an actress. FREAKS OP LIGHTXIXG. Trunks of Hie Current Tlint Have Yet to Be Explained. New Orleans Picayune. There are cases reported where persons struck by Ilgtnlng had small holes bored in tho skull, but otherwise they were not marked. In other Instances victims have been horribly burned, or even dismembered or disembowled. There have been cases where a stroke of lightning has cut off a man's ear or shaved his hair and beard clean and not hurt him in any other way. The markings are often curious. Blue is the common color, but they have been red, sreen and black, am occasionally the whole body turns black. Several times negroes who have been struck by lightning have had their skin bleached in sjjets to absolute whitencs. The most notabia instance of this sort occurred In Mobile, Ala., on June 23 of last year. A negro struck by lightning found after he had recovered consciousness that he had one completely white arm. The rest of his body was as black as usual. Blindness, deafness and total or partial faralysls are frequent consequences of lghtnlng strokes. Sometimes the lightning selects a single object on a msin's person and assails that without apparently touching the man himself. Coins have been melted until they stuck together in a man's pocket, while he suffered no ill consequences. Keys, watches and watch chains. metal cartridges and eyeglass frames have been more or less damaged, while the per sons wno wore tnem were almost unln Jured. There have been many cases where clothing has been almost demolished with out lnlury to the wearer. Iron tacks have been pulled out of shoes and rubber boots have been destroyed frequently.

Bishop Warren, In a talk at the Genesee conference Wednesday night, told the following story: I once asked a man In Colorado to give me some money for church work. He said that he could not; that he wanted the money to buy some more land. "What for?" I asked. "To raise more corn." What for?" "To fatten more hogs." "What for?" "To get more money." "What for?" "To buy more land." . "What for?" "To raise more corn." "What for?" "To fatten more" But that is the story land, corn, hogs; land, corn, hogs. Cause for Grief. Good News. Mother What's the matter?

"How are you getting along In your hunt for an honest man?" asked one of Diogenes's friends. "uh, pretty badly of late. But I'm on a hot trail bow." "You don't say so!"

THE

INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL DAILY, SUSTD.A.Y AND WEEKLY The Journal's price for dally is only 15 cents a week, and it ha a very wide circulation, reaching a large num ber of peoplo hitherto unable to afford the luxury of n lirst-class daily paper. Keports from a fronts and subscriber! indicate a continued increase, and that what used to be regarded as a luxury has become a necessity. Tho new read ers not only remain, but they are constantly increasing. It is tho purpose of tho Journal to make itself even moro indispensable to its patrons, new and old, and to still further widen its field. To thU endifc will not only endeavor to maintain tho characteristics which have established its reputation as by far the bost news paper in Indiana, but will add such neT features and improvements from tirno to time as are in accord withjournalistio progress and that may tend to the advantage of its readers. It will, for ex ample, give increased attention to Stato and local interests. What Indianians want is a paper in which Indiaua attain irivcn aro especial prominence and importance. This want th3 Journal hai always supplied as no other paper published outsido or inside the Stato is ablo to do; but the rapidly doyelopiug industries and business and social enterprises of the community call for additional consideration and space, With this in view its corps of correspondents iiai been increased until ithas a representative in nearly every town in the Stats Special traveling correspondents will visit the news centers of the State at frequent intervals, thus insuring tho "writ up" of every importint event or matter of general interest. Being published in the geographical center of Indiana the Journal is afforded unusual facilities for securing news promptly, and, what is of greater consequence, is able to reach its subscribers without delay. The ruuiiingof morning trains from Indianapolis is very favorable to tho early distribution of papers sent by mail or express, and Iu most towns within a radius of a hundred miles Journals aro dclivorod as early as in tho city where they ara printed. In tho more remote counties there is but little loss of time in transportation. The Jonrnal is paper for Indianians and particularly for Indiana Republicans. The chango of administration involves tho settlement of political problems likely to bo of tho most direct personal concern, to every farmer and business man in the State. All such matters will be set forth la detail, tho Journal's Washingtoa corro spondent being instructed to givo especial attention to every hing having a possible bearing on Indiana interests. But though tho Journal is Kopublioaa in politics it is non-partisan in tho publication of news. Its constant en Joavor istosecuro facts unbiased by prejudice and to 'mako its columns trustworthy records of each day's happenings. A large editorial forco supplements tha work of tho press associations and tho correspondents, and furnishes careful supervision for each department. The Sunday Journal has a well-established literary character, superior to that of auy Western paper. It is nofi defaced by "plate matter" nor tilled with a heterogeneous mass of syndicate literature, but its contribution and miscellany aio chosen with a view to their special fitness and adaptability tcs the tastes of the readers. Thft readin? matter in any given number of the Sunday Journal is equal in quantity and it not inferior in quality to that found io the leading magazines. As an educitionnl adjunct and asourcoof entertainment tho Sunday Journal is in dispensable in every well-regulated family. Tho Weekly Journal, at SI per year, contains moro roiding matter than caa be obtained for tho money in any oth e 6hape. It is carefully edited nnd ofTar the news of the week in condensed shape and a variety of miscellany, agricultural and housVuold literature that render it one of tho best investments that any family can make.
