With the exception of the cold reserve and counting every available dollar In the vaults In the treasury, the government to-day has less than lso.000.000 with which to meet obligations.

It is a six-pointed star of solid gold, highly wrought, bearing the motto of the French society, the name of the little heroine and the deed for which she is hon ored. Miss Jennie was just ten years old when she won the medal. She was gathering au tumn grasses along the railroad when she discovered a small wooden bridge on fire. The timbers were burned away and she knew the passenger train was about due. lieinc too far from any house to get help, she ran down the track waving her apron and flagged the train. The engineer saw the signal and brought his train to a stop within a few feet of the fatal bridge. The crew put out the fire and strengthened the bridge so tha; the train could pass over It In safety. The passengers took up a collection amounting to $12.12 for the child. News of her deed reached Paris, and the society wrote to Governor McKinley, of Ohio, who verified the story and sent her address, with the result stated. INDIANA DEATHS.

' Nominee Said to Re Popular with the Young; Men Interentinic History of Eighth Judicial Circuit. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RENSSELAER, Ind., May 27. Previous to the convention at Hammond the Republicans in this (Jasper) county were about evenly divided between Landis and Johnston, but the Johnston men were' the. more energetic and succeeded In sending thirteen out of a delegation of fourteen to Hammond. Since the convention the Republicans, 5 with scarcely an exception, have acaulesced in the outcome of the . convention and Mr. Landis will doubtless.. receive the normal Republican majority and probably morei as he has a very strong following among the younger element amohg both Republicans and Democrats. 1 The W presslon prevails here that what llttje opposition tu Mr. Landis there is in this county is fostered entirely by professional politicians, and the rank and file take little stock In it on this account. EIGHTH JUDICIAL CIItCUIT. GrcennbarK linn Always Got- .the Womt of It. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. GREENSBURG, Ind.. May ZJ. From the fact that 814 ballot? were recently , cast at a judicial convention held at Rushville; and that one of the candidates for judge, Hon. John D. Miller, having received eighteen votes on three secret -ballots, the requisite number to nominate, and then not declared nominated, makes this brief history t very important, not only to the Republicans of those two counties, but of the State. The Eighth Judicial circuit is now composed of the counties of Decatur and Rush. Ex-Governor Samuel Bigger and Judge Logan, both of Rush county, served as circuit judges In this circuit under the old Constitution. On thft adoption of the present Constitution Judge Logan, cf Rush, was re-elected, and served twelve years. Judge Cullen. of Rush, by appointment and election, served about eight years. Cullen succeeded Judge Wilson, of Connersvllle, now of Washington. D. C. Jude Study, of Rush, was nominated at a convention held at Greensburg.. Rush county had two candidates for Judge, and on taking a second ballot several delegates from Decatur voted for Study and nominated him. He served abut three years and died. The only citizen of Decatur county ever elected circuit Judge was Judge Bonner, who served twelve years. Judge Ewing is now serving out the unexpired term of Judge Study by appointment by the Governor. . ' AVnftlilnujton County Republicans. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. , SALEM. Ind.'. May 27. The largest and most enthusiastic convention assembled in .Salem yesterday that has ever been held In Washington county. The convention proper was composed of seventy-nine delegates and every delegate selected by the townships was present except two, and their alternates were seated. The Circuit Court room was full when Dr. H. C. Hobbs. chairman of the central committee, called the convention to order. John S. McPheeters was chosen chairman and Charles Phetts and J. A. Kemp secretaries. Three ballots were often necessary to nominate, something entirely new for Washington county Republicans, as heretofore the office went begging. A. S. Garrlott, of Gibson, and Wm. A. Graves, of Pekin. were-placed before the convention for Representative and Garriott was successful on the first ballot. Volney P. Reld, of Salem, was nominated for auditor by , acclamation. John S. Stratton and B. T. Pace contested for clerk, and the former was successful. Mansford Coflman was nominated for treasurer by acclamation, and this compliment was also triven Gabe T. Royse for sheriff. It took three ballots to nominate a, recorder, and Capt. David Wright was chosen over A. P. Markoffer and Stanford Newby. R. J. Mull was nominated for commissioner in the first district and John Coffee in the second. Dr. Baiter for coroner and John M. Henderson for surveyor were chosen. Augustus Garriott, the candidate for Representative, was called on and made a good speech. B. T. Pace also made a ringing speech. The ticket is exceptionally strong, it Li believed that the entire ticket will be elected. All the townships except Ally nominated tickets Friday, and the Republicans expect to carry eight out of the thirteen townshios. The Republicans never had as good prospects of carrying Washington county. Friend of Landl Confident. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ROCHESTER. Ind., May 27. The Hammond convention is still discussed by Republicans here, who anxiously await the outcome. The adherents of Landis believe that the action taken was regular, and the only thing that could be done under the circumstances, while the friends of Johnston are greatly dissatisfied and doing considerable grumbling. It is generally believed that If Landis accepts the nomination the breach will be healed by November, and that Landis will be successful. o One Kicking? nt Hammoudt CROWN POINT, Ind., May 27.-The indignation meeting outlined by a Valparaiso correspondent to take place here yesterday to protest nirainst the nomination of C.

MUNICIPAL CONTROL

THE PROGRESS GERMANY HAS MADE is solyi.Vg the problem. ' Administration Pnt Into the Hands of Experlr Wbo Are Often Given n Life Tenure of OClee. No subject Is agitating the people of this country more to-day than that of municipal reform. The effort to divorce city government from politics and to conduct it on a purely business basis is gaining ground surely, if slowly, and a few cities in the country have made an honest attempt in the new direction. Dr. Albert Shaw presents a timely and interesting study of "The Government of German Cities" in the Century for June. "Municipal housekeeping," as a science and an art, evolved out of the conditions of life prevailing in the last half of this century, can be observed, to better advantage In Germany than in any other country, says Dr. Shaw. It is true that the German cities have been somewhat tardy in providing themselves with modern conveniences and Improvements; but now having fairly entered upon the task, they are accomplishing it In a more systematic, thorough and businesslike way than any other cities, whether in Europe, America or Australia. To this work of modern Improvement, especially in public appointments, the Germans seem to have brought more of the scientific spirit and method than any other people. Their habits of thoroughness in research, and of the patient, exhaustive treatment of any subject in hand, have fully characterized their new progress in the arts of civilized life. Above all, the Germans had already developed a system of public administration more economical and more infallibly effective than could have been, found elsewhere; and they were prepared, when the growth of their cities and the new demand for modern improvements made necessary a great increase in the number and variety of public functions, to do in the best possible way whatever it was decided to undertake. So confident were they, indeed, in the efficacy of their administrative organization that they dared to assign to the municipalities spheres of action which elsewhere have been left to private effort and control. Municipal councilors in Germany, are, as a rule, very excellent citizens. It Is considered a high honor to be elected to the Council. Membership is a title of dignity that merchants, professional men and scholars are usually eager to hold. No salaries are paid to the councilors, and a penalty is attached to refusal to serve if elected. The sentiment toward these positions is much the same in Germany as in Great Britain, though stronger with men of high education in German than In British towns. The re-election of good councilors term after term is common in both countries. It would be difficult to estimate fairly the influence of the class system In Prussia upon the character of city councils as regards their conservatism. Intelligence and business ability. Undoubtedly the recent growth of the social democracy would have a sharper influence upon the city councils if the class system were abolished, and if the municipal franchise were made identical with the simple manhood suffrage that exists for purposes of representation in the imperial legislature, the Reichstag. In addition to the magistracy and the Council, there is in Berlin a body of about seventy-five so-called "citizen deputies," who are selected by the Council for their general fitness to serve as associates on committees charged with the oversight of various municipal Interests, such as parks, schools, the care of the poor, and the sanitary service. They have no authority to vote In the Council, but they illustrate, at the center of administration, the excellent practice which Is followed throughout the entire ramification of German city government, of enlisting the co-operation of unofficial citizens in managing the ordinary concerns of the community. BURGOMASTER AND MAGISTRATES. The burgomaster and magistrates are the most highly trained experts that a German city can secure. The burgomaster is an expert in the . general kart of municipal administration. Associated with him in the magisterial Council are experts in. law, experts in finance, experts In education to administer the schools, experts in engineering to oversee public works of every character, experts in sanitary science, experts in public charity, experts in forestry and park management, experts in the technical and business management of water and gas supplies, and so on. The analogy would not be perfect, but it would answer roughly to compare the governmental structure of a German city with that of a railway corporation, in which the board of directors chosen by the stockholders appoint a general superintendent or manager, a general passenger agent, a general freight agent, a chief legal officer, a chief engineer, a superintendent of motive power, and other general officers, and leave to these highsalaried experts, drawn from the service of various other transportation companies, almost the entire management and operation of the road. The shareholders represent the voters of Berlin, let us say; the board of directors are the municipal Council; the general superintendent is the chief burgomaster, and the general officers at the head of departments are the magistrates. The magistntfsrath, or stadrath, of a German city is, then, a body of distinguished and honored, highly paid professional expert employes, and not a body of citizen representatives, although experienced members of the body of citizen representatives may be, and not infrequently are, promoted to membership in the magistratsrath. The professional civil service is a vastly greater and better established field of employment In Germany than In England or America, and it is particularly difficult for an American to appreciate its position and significance. The Muyor of an American city is usually some well-known citizen who is called temporarily from private life to occupy the most authoritative place in the municipality. The burgomaster of a German city is a civil servant the permanent head of a permanent body of trained officials. The difference between the two Is' somewhat like that between our Secretary of War and the general commanding the army. ADMINISTRATION BY EXPERTS. The Mayor or head of the municipality in some cities called the oberburgermeister and in some simply the burgermelster is the general manager of the whote mechanism of administration, and usually the guiding spirit as well in the economic policies of the municipality. lie may feel that success in the management of a smaller city will perhaps be rewarded by the prize ot the mayoralty of a greater one. Thus the late Dr. Forckenbeck, Mayor of Berlin, had made his reputation as Mayor of Breslau, and was called to fill a vacancy in the same position at the capital. Many cities appoint their Mayor for life, and some make a trial appointment for a term of years, and then Krant p life leae. The tenure of the paid magistrates in genera hollows that of the mayors, and the cities which give life appointments to the chief of the municipality commonly give them also to the expert professional element among his associates, while limiting the unpaid magistrates to terms corresponding with those of the popularly elected councilors. Duties are so weil distributed among the magistrates that there results the highest type of executive efficiency, and the least possible friction or waste of energy.,New departments of administration may either be assigned to the portfolios of existing magistrates or may be provided for by the appointment of additional members. Thus the magistratsrath Is sufficiently flexible to respond to the changing circumstances l a city, and the presence of its unsalaried citizen members keeps it always sufficiently in touch with the spirit of the community. It should further be said that in the details of administration the magistrates have the co-operation in various ways of numerous unofficial citizens serving In a voluntary or honorary capacity on countless subcommittees. Clinrch Bells nnd Factory AVhiMtIe. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: The application of the law as defined in the Stehlin decision to a printing office in proximity to a dwelling shows that, though not new, it Is capable of many new uses. The law as given by the court Is evidently right. Some twenty Jo thirty years ago a hotel in Cincinnati tried to enforce it against the Cincinnati Enquirer, whose presses, running all night, so disturbed the guests of the hotel that they could not sleep, but for. local reasons the attempt was a failure. Now, if this law Is applicable to a small printing office, which, at the furthest, could

Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report

not affect a half dozen people, why not apply it to the hideous church bells and the even more hideous factory whistles? The sound of the church-going bell may be music in rural districts or in villages, when it is heard only a few times in a weelc, and then at stated hours. There was utility as well in it, when clocks and watches were few, or when unexpected occasions made the assembling of the villagers desirable. But none of these demands any longer exist. In recognition of this inutility nearly all modern churches In cities are now left without .bells, much to the comfort of all who live within a radius of many blocks and to the inconvenience of no one. Why should not ail churches do the same, and. If not voluntarily, why should not the law, as laid down In the Stehlin case, be applied? No saloon in the city is half as damaging to adjacent residence property as a church whose bells peal out for some purpose or other almost every hour in every day, and often in the night. And if church bells should be silenced, why not silence the hideous factory and locomotive whistles? There i3 no such necessity for either as to compensate for the perpetual annoyance of both. The signal for beginning and quitting work in any factory can easily be given with bells so within the factory as to annoy no one outside, and railroad signals can easily be communicated otherwise than through the whistle. Long life to the Stehlin decision if it can silence noisy printing presses and noisier church bells, and still noisier factory whistles and railroad whistles! U. L. SEE. Indianapolis, May 27. ' . DIPHTHERIA. A Disease Thnt Can De Caujfht In Muny Wu) . Youth's Companion. Weather which is at once cold and wet favors the occurrence of diphtheria as of other throat diseases. In England diphtheria is most prevalent on the eastern coast of the island and hi the mountains of Wales. The eastern coast is most subject to cold storms. "Sore throats" are very common in both these districts. While in this country the geographical distribution of diphtheria has perhaps not been studied so closely as In Great Britain, there is no doubt that like conditions effect like results. In the hill country of Wales many of the houses are built on, or rather into, the hillsides, and so are constantly damp. Sore throats are the rule with the inhabitants of such dwellings; when . diphtheria breaks out among them it spreads rapidly. Diphtheria seems to attack with most readiness throats that are already ailing. Indeed, some excellent authorities are of th6 opinion that it never develops upon healthy tonsils. The great Importance of avoiding sore throats is evident. In many of the larger English towns, where millions of pounds have been expended In improving the water supply and drainage, with a consequent great reduction in typhoid fever, diphtheria" has steadily Increased. School rooms, especially those in which children are crowded, are regarded by some high authorities as one of the principal means of spreading the infection of diphtheria. Cases are cited in which schools have been closed to prevent the spread of the disease, only to have it break out again on their , being reopened. There seems to be no doubt that children with acute attacks of sore throat should be excused from attending school, no matter what the nature of the attack may be. Teachers, especially during the prevalence of diphtheria, are to be commended If, In the exercise of their authority, they excuse from school a pupil so affected, since the-dreaded disease may be masked under an apparently trivial sore throat. Cows, cats, and possibly other domestic animals, have been shown to suffer from diphtheria, though cases of Infection from such source are doubtless rare. , How It Was Explained. Harper's Bazar. . Briggs I called on that girl last night that you lntroduc?d me tOu , Griggs Did you? Briggs Yes. And she's a nice girl, old fellow, but she treated me very strangely. Griggs How so? Briggs Will you believe It, she showed roe into the dining room, fcaid she really hoped I would excuse her. No other room in order, etc. , Griggs Well, that was rather strange. Briggs But that's not the worst of It. In a few minutes in comes her younger sister. We talked a little, and then she got up and went out, leaving her younger sister to entertain me. You can bet I didn't stay there long." Griggs Well, I'm very ' sorry. Briggs Oh. that's all right You couldn't help it. But what the mischief did she want to show me Into the dining room for? Griggs I'll tell you if you won't give It ttway. - Briggs All right, WThat for? Griggs Well, you see, I was in the parlor. Revival of tlie Curfevr. Boston Herald. Nothing In an English village or town is more touching and thrilling than the 9-o clock bell, commonly called the curfew. It was once quite common in New England In the country towns, but In the disuse in which the ringing of bells has fallen it has largely passed away. It is a custom which has found a natural home among people of English descent, and its early revival is evident from the signs of the times. The new interest in the pealing of bells is manifesting itself in the demand in Cleveland, in Baltimore, and in other cities that the curfew shall be restored, and when once the peals are rung from the Christ Church bells in this city, it will be almost imperative that the curfew shall be heard from the center of old Boston. He Knew Hoys. Detroit Free Press. ' The boy had applied for a Job. "We don't like lazy boys around here,' said the boss; "are you fond of work?" "No, sir," responded the boy, looking the bossV straight in the face. "Oh, you're not, ain't you? Well, we want a boy that Is." "They ain't any," said the boy doggedly. "Oh yes, there are; we have had a half dozen of that kind here this morning to talce the place we have." "How do you know they are?" asked the boy. - "They told me so." "So could I If I was like them; but I'm different: I ain't a liar," and the boy said it with such an air of convincing energy that he got the place. An I'nconsciouM Sarcasm. Life.

In one hand he had a tin can, and about tha branch was festooned a fishing line. "Hello, my boy," exclamed one of the visitors; "going fishing?" The lad surveyed with envious eyes their neat costumes, the handscmo poles furnished with shining reels, and all the rest of their equipment, and replied with a sici: "Nope. I ain't goin fishing.
