DANA 0x JOURNALISM

Instructive Address by the Nestor of the American Press. Qualifications and Faculties Accessary for Thoso Who Would Ileconie Keportcrs or Editors. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SCHENECTADY. X. Y.. Oct- 13. The first lecture of the fall course at Union College was delivered last Friday by Hon. Charles A. Dana, of New York, ths subject being The Press and Journalism." Mr. Dana said. In part: "The profession of Journalism Is comparatively new. It really Is. as It exists today, an affair of the last forty or fifty years. When I began to practice it in a weekly paper the apparatus which we have now was quite unknown. The sheets which we daily take in our hands and from which we gather a view of the whole world and of all that has been going on In It all the ii a!' tne acnlevements, all the new i f i8 that influence the destiny of mankindall that was entirely out of the question. There was no such apparatus, and it nas been created by the necessities of the public and by the genius of a few men, and who have Invented the machinery and the methods which are indispensable, and without which we could not undertake to do what we do. Of course the most essential part of this treat mechanism is not the mechanism Itself; it is the intelligence, the brains and the sense of truth and honor that reside in the men who conduct it. Tho number of Itellectual countrymen who ara looking at this new profession of JournalIsm is very great. I nave known very dlsdlstlngulshed authorities who doubted whether high education was of any great use to a Journalist Horace Greeley told me several times that the real newspaper man was the boy who had slept on newspapers and ate ink. (Iauchter.) The clergyman preaches two or three times a week, and he has for his congregation two hundred, three hundred, five hundred, and, if he is a great, popular orator. In a great city, he may have a thousand hearers, but he newspaper man is the stronger, because, throughout all the avenues of newspaper communication, to how many does he preach? A million a half million and his preaching is not on Sundays only, but It is every day. He reiterates, he says It over and over, and finally the thing gets flxd in men's minds from saying It and hearing It, and, without criticising, without inquiring whether it Is really so, the newspaper dictum gets established and Is taken for gospel, and, perhaps. It is not gospel at all. (Laughter.) , "In regard to this profession there are two stages. The first stage is the stage of preparation. There are colleges which have lately introduced schools of Journalism or departments of Journalism, where they propose to teach the art of newspaper making, to instruct the student in the methods that he should employ, and to fit him out so that he can go to a newspaper oflice and make a newspaper. Well, I do not say that it is not useful, but I have never found that a student or graduate who had pursued that department, instead of pursuing other studies, was of any great avail as a practical worker in the newspaper work that he had been trying to learn. In fact. It seems to me, if I may be allowed a little criticism, that the colleges generally are rather branching out too much, until they are inclined to take the whole universe into their curriculum, and to teach things which do not exactly belong there. If I could have my way, every young man who Is going to be a newspaper man, and who Is not absolutely rebellious against it, should learn Creek and Latin after the good old fashion. I had rather take a young tellow who knows the AJax of Sophocles, and who has read Tacitus, and can pcan every ode of Horace I would rather take him to report a prize fight than to take ono who has never had the advantages. NECESSARY QUALIFICATIONS. There Is no doubt the faculty of accuracy of seeing comes of good education. Next to that I would put the ability how to know and where most promptly to look for what you don't know and what you want to know. Thirdly, I put Dr. Walker's great object, being able to tell what you know, and to tell It accurately, precisely, without exaggeration, without prejudice, the fact just as It Is. whether It be a report of a baseball game, or of a sermon, or of a lecture on electricity, whatever It may be, to get the thing exactly as It is. The man who can do this is a very well educated man. In addition comes the aualltles of personal talent and geniU3. ireeley, the great and brilliant Journalist, was a man of immense ability, but lacked the developed and cultivated Instinct of knowing the truth when it was presented and 'detecting error when masquerading. "Now, as for the preliminary studies apart from the classics. Know the English language perfectly is the cornerstone. Next the ability to use it; the cultivation of style, not modeled on another, but your own individual style. That this is a powerful factor you have only to read Hawthorne and Dr. Channlng to perceive. Next I would place a knowledge of American politics. Thi3 is a very hard study. (Laughter.) But it is indispensable. The young man who takes a newspaper and turns to the political page has good intellectual symptoms. If he turns to read a love story tirst you cannot make a good newspaper man out of him. You should understand the thoory and growth of the American Constitution. And while we are on thi3 point we may say, in passing, that an American who thinks another country Is better than this should not go into Journalism. (Applause.) You must be for the stars and stripes every time, or the peopia of this country won't be for you. (Applause.) And you won't sell enough papers to pay your expenses. (Laughter.) "In order to understand the theory of the American government the most serious, calm, persistent study should be given to tho Constitution of the United States. Next, be well acquainted with the Constitution and government of the different States, and be able thus to deal with the State questions intelligently; such, for Instance, the great question of an elective or appointive Judiciary in New York. The man who has studied out such a question as that has accomplished a great deal. The man who Is well learned in the constitutions of the State and Nation is well fitted Tor conducting a newspaper or administering a government. But the modern newspaper looks beyond Its own country. You must know the history of England, from whence we came, and in which country our Constitution is rooted, and so the history of other countries of Europe, of France, of Germany. The course of -foreign history offers a safe guide for human action, and especially for political action. "What books ought you to read? Almost all bocks have their use, but some are indispensable to this kind of an education. But. of all these, the most useful, the most indispensable, the one whose knowledge is the most effective, is the Bible. I am considering It not as a religious book, but as a manual of utility, of professional preparation and professional use for a Journalist. There is, perhaps, no book whose style Is more suggestive and more instructive, from which you learn more directly that sublime simplicity which never exaggerates, which recounts the greatest event with solemnity, of course, but without sentimentality or affectation; none which open with such confidence and lay down with such confidence, and lay down with such reverence. There is no book like the Bible. (Applause.) "Now let us turn to the practice of the profession. In a great newspaper oflice about sixty out of a hundred writers will b reporters. That is one of the foremost branches of the profession and it is paid very liberally. That is one of the rirst things when a young man comes for employment, and you take him on and give him a chance, that he Is set to do. That will bring into action all his culture and good Judgment. If ho reports a lire he must see the most important things about It. the chief interest involved, who has met with the greatest loss, has an Individual perished. how did it occur, and Interesting circumstance, and be able to write It out. Next to the reporter a very important functionary in the newspaper Is the man who reads the other newspapers and makes extracts from them. He must have good Judgment, sense of humor, know a good story. Next to the exchange reader conies the man who examines manuscripts, and prepares them for the press. He mu-'t Know now to mseniangie urui, turret-1 punctuations, determine the value of cor- 5

respondence, and It requires a great deal of Judgment, a great deal of literary cultivation. Finally you come to the editor-in-chief, who gets to his place by a process of natural selection, because he can do tho work. The man who stays thire is the man who has the staying power, the character in which the people believe. "Now, as to the matter of news. A. newspaper without news is no newspaper. (Laughter.) The main function of a newspaper la to give the news, and tell you what events have occurred of all sorts, political, scientific and nonsensical. There must Ik? a scientific man who understands electricity and chemistry, an important feature in news. Hut the business of collecting the news is, for certain reasons, talcing a minor place in the newspaper lt?elf, and for this reason: it is a costly necessltv to br'cr the general news of the whole world t'Tlay for the reader to enjoy to-morrow, and this costly news service has led to the formation of news association. When the enormous sum required to do thl3 Is divided among the newspapers of the United States It costs each individual newspaper very little." GIVEN MORE WORK.

Union Pacific Receivers Issne an Order That Will Please Employes. OMAHA, Neb., Oct lo.-Unprecedented as the situation is, 4,000 men on the Union Pacific will feel on Monday that the appointment of receivers for the vast system which extends south and westward from Omaha, covering some ten thousand miles of territory, is an unmixed blessing, by reason of an order issued late last night by General Manager Dickinson increasing the hours of work for all shop men about thirteen hours per week. The men have been working thirty-five hours a week in tho shops throughout the system, acquiescing in the several reductions made during the summer, but were granted an Increase to forty-eight hours per week, commencing Monday morning. "The Increase will affect at least fifteen hundred men In the Omaha shops," said Mr. Dickinson, "and about four thousand men over the entire system. It will increase our pay roll $75,000 per month. The action was taken after a conference of the receivers, and the order was given Mr. McConnell late yesterday afternoon." "Will the salaries of clerks and officials cut by the order of Aug. 2G be restored?" asked the reporter. "The wage question has not been discussed at all" replied the operating head of the Union Pacific, "nor will it probably for some time to come. The men in the shops that is, the machinists and all other experts, so called, have a schedule of wages based on a ten-fiour day 32 cents per hour. Should the day be reduced to eight hours the wages, of course, would be eight times 32 cents, and for seven hours the same. The increase for each man per week under the new order will be $L1S for all men coming under the expert clause. All schedules have been abrogated by reason of the courts interfering. Things will go on the same as heretofore, without the binding effect of schedules or agreements." COLONEL TAYLOR DYING. He Was President William Henry Harrison's Private Secretary. ST. PAUL, Minn.. Oct. 15. Col. W. II. II. Taylor, State Librarian since 1S77, is dying at his h?me in this city. He was born in Itlchmond, Va., Nov. 23, 1S13. He removed to Ohio, and was postmaster at Cincinnati under President Tyler. In 1861 he resigned as clerk to the court of Hamilton county, Ohio, and became colonel of the Fifth Ohio Cavalry. He married the youngest daughter of Gen. Wm. Henry Harrison in 183G, and waj General Harrison's private secretary when he was President. Ho came to Minnesota in 1S67, and settled on a farm in Hennepin county. His wife and five of his ten children are with him. x DESPERADO STARR. Career of a Noted Dnndlt Who Is to lie Tried fur Murder This Week. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FORT SMITH, Ark., Oct 13.-Hcnry Starr, one of the most notorious bank and train robbers in the West, will be placed on trial here to-morrow for his life. " The specific- charge is the killing of United States Marshal Floyd Wilson in the Indian Territory on the 11th of last December. Starr is a half-blood Cherokee and twenty-three years old. IIi3 first crime was the robbery of the express office at Nowata, I. T. For this crime Marshal Wilson and Deputy Dickey pursued Starr to his haunt on California creek. After waiting two days and nlght3 in hiding, Starr was seen to leave his cabin. Wilson pursued him on horseback, while Dickey, who was unmounted, went to a ranch for a horso and followed Wilson. The chase was kept up for several miles, when Starr and Wilson both dismounted. The marshal fired a shot, and then his Winchester clogged with a shell and he was powerless. Before Dickey could get in range, being armed with a shotgun, Starr had iired five shots Into Wilson's body. Starr caught Wilson's horse and escaped. Dickey returned to Coffeyville, Kan., with his dead comrade's body. Subsequent to the killing of Wilson. Starr and a Delaware Indian named Ed Newcomb hld up the Caney Valley Bank, at Caney, Kan., on March 27 last, and secured $2,5o3. This was followed by a series of bank and train robberies, all charged to Starr and his band. Starr and his wife, with Starr's most desperate confederate. Kid Wilson, were captured at Colorado Springs, Col., on July 2 last. On them was found $1,400 in greenbacks and $300 in gold. Henry Starr won his wife in a romantic fashion. At the time of the Pryor creek train robbery, in August of last year, Starr remained on the platform of the first coach whllo his confederates went through the train. A young girl, wild with terror. Jumped from the car and fled in the darkness. When their work was done Starr and his men mounted and drove rapidly away. Only a short distance from the railway they encountered the girl, who seemed crazed with fear. Starr took her on his horse to the outlaw camp, and she became attached to him. She gave her name as Mary Smith, of Joplln, Mo. Pursuit getting warm, Starr sont ths girl home, promising to go to Joplin and marry her. A few weeks later the outlaw apppeared at Joplln and, after gaining the consent of the girl's parents, married her under the name of Frank Jackson. He took her to Colorado, and their arrest followed, as stated. Terrorised by Outlaws. GUTHRIE, O. T., Oct. 15. Bill Dalton, tho notorious bandit for whose apprehension a reward of $10,000 is offered, and two of his accomplices, Bill Dolln and Texas Newcomb, terrorized Stillwater lastnteht. They paraded the streets with revolvers strapped to their belts and carried Winchesters in their hands. Many of the people of Stillwater recognized them and reported the matter to olllcers, but the latter seemed reluctant to endeavor to capture them.

VON CAPEIA'I MAY FALL

Defeat of His Financial Jlcasnres Predicted by Conservatives. Germany Soon to Enter on Another Exciting Debate Russians and Frenchmen at Toulon. (Copyright. 1S03, by the United Press.) BERLIN, Oct. H-Seml-omclal newspapers say that the complete financial proposals of the government will be laid before the Reichstag when Deputies reassemble on Nov. 20. These proposals are said to be such as will command the majority obtained for the army bill. After they shall have been passed the Deputies will be expected to consider several social reforms which the Emperor has long had at heart. It Is only Just to say that this confidence in further success is really entertained In government circles, although every week brings an Increase of power to th Agrarians, clericals and Radicals who form . the opposition. The associations of tobacco manufacturers, wine growers and wine merchants aro holding meeting aftsr meeting to protest against the existing taxes, and are subscribing funds to sustain tha popular ferment against the government. Conservative organs like the Kreuz Zeitung proclaim tho fall of Chancellor Von Caprivi to be Inevitable, while the National Liberal dailies admit that the fate of the taxation bills Is doubtful. The strength of the government will rest only on the possibility of tho opposition agreeing on any financial policy whatever. The army bill having become a law the Deputies must find the supplies, and could with difficulty say where the revenues can by found, unless at tho sources suggested In Dr. Mlquel's scheme. No alternative plan has been even hintsd at, and it will bailie the opposition leaders to conceive anything equally discriminating or popularly effective. The chances, therefore, are that after a protracted struggle with minor concessions here and there tha government will carry the financial measures substantially unaltered. The Emperor and Empress passed last week at the shooting lodge, Hubertusstock, about two hours by train from Berlin. Gen. Von Kaltenborn, War Minister, Dr. Boss!, Minister of Public Worship, and Dr. Mlnuel have gone to see the Emperor, but neither the Chancellor ncr the Foreign Minister, Von Marschall, has been summoned to him. Tho inference is that foreign affairs are quiet. The outburst of French Chauvinism during the Toulon reception has been Ignored here as empty rolse. The government undoubtedly has some information which enables it to treat the Toulon fetes with contemptuous indiiYerence. The foreign officers maintain silence as to the reported renewal of the entente between France and Russia. The correspondent of the United Press, however, has received from the best sources Information which enables him to say that the conviction In tho highest quarters here is that ltussla prefers to revive closer relations with Germany rather than to risk an alliance with France, whether the commercial convention now in hand be signed or not. The negotiations for the convention are proceeding smoothb', but are likely to last until midwinter. The prospects of a political reapproachment with Russia aro regarded now as better than before in many years. Dr. Schweninger has gone to south Germany for a rest of two weeks. He will return to Friedrichsruhe on Oct. 23. His absence from the Bismarck household is held to be the best sign of the Prince's convalescence. At his orders Bismarck receives now only his most intimate friends. Tho accouchement of Countess Herbert Bismarck Is expected daily. The Nord Deusche Allgemeine Zeltung renews the old warning ugalnst men advertising for heirs to get properties in the United States. Recently victims of these swindles havo been complaining at tho United States embassy. The Nord Deusche advises all persons believing themselves to be heirs to communicate ilrst with German consuls in America. GREAT SHOW OP LOVE. French and Russian O Hirers Cheer and Carry Each Othor. TOULON, Oct. 13. If the Russian sailors now visiting France are not already beginning to feel the effects of the series of entertainments provided for them it is not because French hospitality and good feeling has been lacking. For instance, the ball at tha arsenal which commenced last night was continued until C o'clock this morning, and at Its conclusion the French officers hoisted a number of Russian officers on their shoulders and cheered themselves hoarse as they escorted them to their ships. This impliment the Russians appreciated by lifting a number of tha Frenchmen upon their shoulders, cheering until they could cheer no longer and Insisting that they should come down to the boats with them preparatory to returning on board the Russian squadron. . The municipality of Toulon entertained the Russian officers to-day at luncheon in the court of the Lycee. Bight hundred guests were present. The Mayor of Toulon toasted the Czar and Czarina amid loud cries of "Vive la P.ussle." The Mayor, after the toast, added that the cries of "Vive la Russie," which could be heard on all sides ever since the Russian E-juadron had arrived in French waters, proved the indissoluble attachment which France felt towards Russia. During the afternoon the Russian officers witnessed tho parade of the musical societies and the battle of flowers, which was one of the most lively events ever witnessed. Admiral Avellan was in a landau, which was half mied with the flowers which were thrown Into It during the floral festivity. Throughout the day fete followed fete, and Toulon may safely be said never to have passed such a Sunday as the one just concluded. The city was more crowded than ever, fully five hundred thousand people, according to the estimate, having flocked in from different directions in order to take some part In the day's enjoyment. The Russian and French sailors were to bo seen on all sides, arm in arm and even wearing each other's hois as a token of the extreme sympathy existing between them. Presents of cigars, tobacco nnd flowers continue to pour In upon tho Russian visitors, so much so that it has been quietly given out that there should be a turn In the tide of gift-sending. M. Clemenceau, In an article In La Justice, of Paris, to-day says that it is evident that France is no longer isolated, and that the entente between Russia and France insures a temporary maintenance of peace pendlrfg a definite peace. Continuing, M. Clemenceau says that it is stated that if Germany gave Russia a free hand In the East France would be abandoned, but, according to M. Clemenceau, there are too many obstacles to this eventual It v. It was also said, the distinguished Frenchman adds, that In the event of war in th East popular enthusiasm would impel France into it; but the French people were not mad, and would not plunge Into a war thoughtlessly. France, the writer claims, has no interest in Asia like that of Russia. In conclusion M. Clemenceau says: "We are frlend3 because the democracy desires peace and abhors war." AFGHANS BARRED THE WAY. Rusalana IVut Permitted to Pass Through the Pamirs. CALCUTTA. Oct. 13. Dispatches from Simla to-day announce that the reported repulse of a Russian force in the Pamirs is correct with the exception of a few minor details. The exact facts are as follows: Captain Vannovisky, son of the Russian Minister of War, recently proceeded down the Murghab river to Roshan. The Russian colonel was accompanied by a smaJl escort of Cossacks, and, at Roshan, he 13 said to have politely asked the Afghanistan officer to allow him to proceed with his e?cort to Darwaz, at which point Col. Vannovisky wished to join General Bal:ff. The Afghan officer refused to allow tho Russian forces to proceed, claiming that It wouldestabllsh a precedent Which he had no authority to permit. This refusal made Colonel Vannovisky very angry; some hot words were exchanged, and tha Ruiiau Colonel announced his intention of proceeding in spite of the Afghans. This the Russians did to a certain degree. The Russians managed to pass the Afhan officer J and ihi few men who accompanied him, ; but further on Colonel Vannovlsky and his force entered a Uenie. where they were suddenly summoned to halt. Investigation showed that the road was blockod by huge bowlders, behind which th strong force of Roahanites wero stationed. The Roshan commander informed Colonel Vannovisky that ha must go back, an 3 the JluMlaa obeyed. Another account suya that the Russians, in retreating, fired a few shots at tha Afghans and that their flra was returned. o loss of life is reported. Many people look upon tho incident as an attempt uoon the part of Russia, to

reopen tie Pamir question, which is always likely to bring about a collision between the Russian and British forces on tho border of Afghanistan. This seems all the more likely, as Colonel Vannovisky is said to have threatened to return later with Co3sacks enough to force his way to Darvraz. The Pamir question, which has now again been forced to the front by Col. Vannovisky, is one of the most delicate questions affecting Indian diplomacy. Should this Important question be revived, it is considered certain that the agreement entered into in 1873 between the Russian and British governments regarding the Afghan boundary will form the groundwork of a long and heated dispute as to territorial Jurisdiction, which can only result In the division of the disputed territory between Russia and Great Britain. In fact, it is astonishing that twenty years have been allowed to elapse before the bear and lion divided thi3 line buffer territory between them. But it now seems probable that this narrow strip of about one hundred miles wide and two hundred miles long, which to a certain degree divides the Russian political frontier of 1S93 from the British political frontier, will be gobbled up by the two powers mentioned, who will thus be brought closer to each other and nearer to the great conflict which must sooner or later take place for the possession of India. Monster Demosmtrntlon of Toller. LONDON, Oct. 13. There was a great demonstration of laboring men In Hyde Park this afternoon. The processions entered the park from Oxford street and Picadllly, preceded by bands and banners. The object of the gathering was to make declarations in support of the striking miners. Several members of tha House of Commons, including T. P. O'Connor and John Burns, addressed the meeting. Stepnlak, the Russian Nihilist, also spoke, Hyndman urged the men not to yield undar any circumstances until their demands were met. There were twelve speakers' platforms on the ground. The multitude is estimated at 20,0uo persons. They passed resolutions condemning the coal owners in severe terms for endeavoring to defraud the miners of a reasonable wage rate and Charging them with paralyzing the whole trade of the country for their own selfish policy. The resolutions pledged support to tho families of the miners and demanded for tho .men fair payment. The assemblage was perfectly orderly at all points. t A Xcir Vorlc Girl "Weds a Lord. PARIS, Oct. 13. The civil marriage of Lord Terrence Blackwood, son of the Marqui3 Dufferin, British embassador, and Miss Flora Davis, of New York, was celebrated yesterday, at the Malrie, in the Rue D'AnJou, near the British v embassy. As the embassador's family are in mourning for his cousin, Sir S. A. Blackwood, who died ou Oct. 2, only a few relatives wero invittd. Tho religious ' ceremony will take place :o-morrow. . At the cl dl marriage the Mayor made a speech, which was chiefly addressed to Lord Dufferin. During the courp of his remarks the Mayor said that the British and Amercans "have been our political educators. It was in their school that we learned to practice liberty, and we have not forgotten that Great Britain has always been the asylum for political refugees." The London News says: "Seeing in the bridegroom the son of our embassador, and in the bride the daughter of an American Senator, the Mayor arose to the occasion and gave compliments which are of international significance." The Guatemalan Dictator. GUATEMALA CITY. Oct. 15.-There is great excitement here over tho assumption of dictatorship by President Reyna Barrios, who has .practically dethroned the popular assembly and taken all power Into his own hands. When Barrios proclaimed the law requiring the payment of customs revenue In gold the permanent commission of the national assembly approved the decree, but required the consent of the full assembly. The latter, finding the President determined to sustain the obnoxious law, adjourned, whereupon the President said that as the assembly had dissolved without consulting with him he would assume control of all departments of the government, thus concentrating all power in himself. What effect this bold move will have on the alleged revolutionary movement in the northern part of the country is not known.

A CANADIAN'S IMPRESSION. He Is Not Pleased vrith Drltlah Exmr clnslveness at the Fair. Boston Transcript. The Listener's friend, McTavlsh, a Canadian resident in Boston, has returned from the world's fair much inclined to naturalize. He was impressed particularly by the Great Show's typifying the Gargantuan hospitality of the Republic, and the American idea expressed in that famous Biglow paper addressed to John Bull: "Old Oncle S. sea he, I guess It is a fact, says he, 'The surest plan to make a man Is, think him so, J. B.;' Ez much ez you or me.' " "To see that prodigal show," says McTavlsh, "given to all comers for 50 cents admission! No bar at the gates on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude. Nay, none on account of old clothes and obvious present condition of servitude! 'Come one, come all!' the open portals of every State building seemed to say. Priceless works of art were within easy reach of every man's hands or umbrella, mere placards of 'Hands Off being enough for their protection. I conceived a grave delight to be in the face of the great golden statue of the Republic as she steadily gazed at her trusted multitudes and saw how well they deserved the confidence of the people's management. No disorder, no mischief, no rudeness, no deviltry such as Is naturally aroused in men by observing that common folks are treated with suspicion, while the 'select are hospitably entertained. It was a grand lesson In the beauty of democracy to see the farmers, the mechanlcs.the laborers, tho masses, moving with the goodratured air of proprietors glad that so many should be sharing the enormous display. "In preposterous contrast to the ever-open State buildings," McTavish goes on, were tho precautions of the British Building. 'Hero visitors were roped off from all except a passaerewav whence they could see some fino old furniture, and a staircase up which duly introduced swells were admitted by a truly British flunkej'. Such swells as had no fellowship with flunkeys must, I imagined, feel ashamed of this niggardly excluslveness after they had witnessed the kind multitudes freely moving through the splendid parlors of New York, the tine, old-fashioned rooms well worthy of Massachusetts and crammed with priceless curios, the large chambers of every sovereign State. The French, the Germans, the Spaniards, the Austrlans even the Asiatics all except the English," had been touched to a democratic hospitality by the American example. Oh, my imperial fellow-subjects, how many stupidities are perpetrated in thy name!" VA Good Lincoln Story. New York Commercial Advertiser. Senator Voorhees tells a good story, and his long experience in public life makes his reminiscences most Interesting. He ban many stories to tell of Lincoln, most of which have been printed. There is one, however, that he recently related that has not seen the light. IV deals with Lincoln's quick wit and his cleverness In 'trying cases in court. Upon one occasion the lawyer on the other side was a good deal of a. glib talker, but not reckoned as deeply profound or anuch of a thinker. He was rather reckless and irresponsible in his speech making also, and would say anything to a iury which happened to enter his head. Lincoln, in his address to the Jury, referring to all these, said: "My friend on the other side is all right, or .would be all right, were it not 'for the peculiarity I am about to chronicle. His habit of which you have witnessed a painful specimen In his argument to you in this case of reckless assertion and statements without grounds need not be imputed to him as a moral fault or a3 telling of a moral blemish. He can't help It. For reasons which, gentlemen of the Jury, you and I have not tlmo to study here, as deplorable as they are surprising, the oratory of the gentleman completely suspends all action cf his mind. The moment he begins to talk his mental operations cease. I never knew of but one thing which compared with my friend In this particular. That was a small steamboat. Back in the days when I performed my part as a keel boatman I made the acquaintance of a trifling little stosimboat, which used to bustle and puff and wheeze about in the Sangamon rivfr. it had a five-foot boiler and a seventeen-foot whistle, and every time it whistled it stopped."

Bowling, James and Elijah Dalton, before Judge Voyles, on the charge of committln? a fiendish Whito Cap outrage on Mrs. Elizabeth Dalton last July, resulted In the production of a vast amount of evidence corroborating the story of John Peyton, who formed one of the White Cap parts'', but who, on Thursday, unexpectedly turned State's evidence and told of the terrible crime. Fifteen witnesses for the State were examined, and then Mrs. Dalton, still weak and almost unable to walk, was placed on the stand, and for three hours she told of the horrible treatment to which she was subjected. She fully Identified James Dalton as the man who held her arms around the post while George Holsapple whipped her.

For three weeks afterward she suffered untold agony. Drs. Hobbs and Armstrong, who attended her during the time, corroborated her. The victim of the terrible outrage is about forty years of age, with a pleasant, goodlooking face, and her testimony was given in an intelligent manner.

Second Day Three-year-old trot, 2:30 class; 2:20 trot; 2:23 trot Third Daj' 2:25 trot, 2:32 trot. The information here is that it is lieHenry's money which is offered as a wager for a match race between Pixley and Allx. McIIenry believes the former can win, as do other good Judges, such as Colonel Conley, of Chicago, who, at Nashville, offered to bet $3,000, $10,000 or $15,000 that Pixley ci lid beat "Sweet Little Allx." The fact that McHenry Is offering the money probably accounts for the statement telegraphed frqm Lexington that he would drive her in the race instead of DIckerson, who has driven her in all her races this season.
