DANGEROUS LUNATIC

TUB "IIASDIT OF THE "WABASH" AGA1 CAUSING TCHIlOIi. Homes of Terrc Hnute Policemen Visited by the 3Xndmnn Methodist Celebration Church Dedicated. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TKIiRE HAUTE. Ind.. Oct. 14. Since last Wednesday the Terre llauie police anl deputy sheriffs ' have been trying to capture Err.?st Whitehouce, once known as "The Bandit of the Wabash," but now an escaped patient from the State Hospital for the Ir.sana at Indianapolis. He has been seen frequently, even calling' at the homes of two policemen In quest of foal, which was given tj him 'In fear and trembling, livery one la Terre Haute knows that he is a dangerous man to be at large, and that he is likely to carry out his quietly-made threat to kill two or three persons he believes have done him injury. When word was received that he had escaped from the hospital, his mother left her home, fearful that he would kill her. Last night the police heard that he was in the Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroad yards, but he was not captured. The officers realize that if he has a, revolver he will begin shoot-, ing on sight cf them, regardless of the certainty of his capture or even death. For that reason they have been setting traps to catch him when off his guard. In when Whiteh us?e was arrested charged with burglary t h had been looked upon as a model young man. After turning over the stolen articles and while on his way to jail he made hi3 escape by shooting Deputy Sheriff Cleary, who had him in charge, deary's wound at first was thought to be fatal and the affair caused frreat excitement. There then began a manlunt, which continued up and down tha Wabash valley for six months. Several times Whltehouse shot at his pursuers. His acts of lawlessness were magnified until nearly every m?n, woman and child in this part of the valley was in ccnstant fear of The Bandit of the Wabash." A local newspaper man wrote a play, "The Bandit of the Wabash," which was performed before crowded houses in this city whil the man hunt was on. Whitehouse was finally surrounded in the house of friends in this city, but In capturing him Cleary received two more bullets. The "bandit" was given two yeara in the pmitentiary, the jury believing that he had been hounded by the police newspapers. After serving his term he was employed by the Yandalia road here as caller for thre years, during which his conduct was exemplary. Then he showed signs of Insanity and was sent to the hospital, from which he was soon released as cured. He went to New Mexico and there became possessed of the insane idea that he had been wronged by the government. He went to Washington and was arrested at the entrance to the' White House while insisting on an audience with the President. Since then he has bt-en , in the Indianapolis hospital. CIIL'HCII CELEBRATION'. Bishop Wnlderi Deliver Two . Sermon m to MethodistM. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND. Ind.. Oct. it.-Thia was a b:g day in local Methodist" circles. It was tha closing day in the wtek's exercise In honor of the twenty-fifth anniversary of Grace Church, and has been made memorable by the presence of John M. Walden, one of the great bishops of the Methodist Church, who dedicated Grace Church twenty-flve years ago. lie delivered a sermon this morning to a large audience and snoka again this even'.ng, when there was a grand rally of Methodists, the members of all the local churches combining in a lolnt service.

N.-The dedication of the First Christian Church of this city to-day was an impressive affair. The dedication proper occurred at 11 a, m.. and was one of the largest attended of any ever held In this city. For more than fifty years Peru has been without a congregation of this kind, and the occasion was made a 'fitting one. Rev. L. L. Carpenter, of Wabash, Ind., delivered the sermon. Mr. Carpenter has a record of second to none In the fact that during his lifetime he has dedicated 4j0 churches, and during the same period has performed the act of baptism to nearly ten thousand people. The church was decorated with flowers. In the afternoon at 3 o'clock congratulatory services were held in the church which was participated in by every church and congregation in the city. One year ago the State society of this congregation sent the Rev. Charles M. Fillmore, the present pastor, to this city with Instructions to build up a congre&atlon. That he has well and faithfully performed his duties is manifest from the fact that when he came to Peru there were thirteen members, and this has now been increased to over one hundred. In ad dition to this the new church has Just been completed at a cost of over $13,000, and it is among the handsomest In the city. TUB THIRD DISTRICT. Judge Tracewell Confident of Overcoming 3.000 Democratic Plurality. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SALEM, Ind., Oct. 11. Hou. Robert J. Tracewell, candidate for Congress, closed his campaign in this county .ith a meeting at the opera house yesterday afternoon. Every seat was taken and there was not standing room for half of the people who wanted to hear him. Judge Tracewell made a speech that pleased the audience, as evidenced by the frequent applause. The crowd was almost wholly composed of voters. Judge Tracewell is confident of election, although the majority against him is large. lie will gain largely in this county and will carry the district. Germans Desert Democracy. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SEYMOUR. Ind., Oct. 14. The Democratic managers of this county are badly demoralized owing to the Urge number of German voters who are breaking away from the Democratic party. This disaffection commenced last April, when Mr. Henry Braning. a popular German business man of this city, was defrauded of the nomination for county auditor. The friends of Eruning swore vengeance on the ring which had deprived him of the nomination. Sine the convention the ring leaders have used every endeavor by promise of office and other means to bring the men back into line. L: to the present time they have failed in their efforts, and it Is now said that they will insist unon Mr. Brunlng writing a card, in which he will say that he was not defrauded, and in which he will ask his friends to support the ticket. Mr. Bruning is not likely to write such a card, as he told your correspondent that ha had been robbed of the nomination. Miami Republicans Awake. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PERU, Ind., Oct. 14. Hon. J. B. Kenner, of Huntington, spoke on Republican principles at the courthouse, in this city last night to a very large audience. The speech was a forceful re? time of the principles of the Republican party, and carried conviction with it. The audience was composed largely of workingmen who are taking the most active part In the present campaign. There was never a time in the history of the political parties of this county when workinrmen took such an active interest In politics as at the present, and th2 prepor.derence of testimony would indicate that ' Republican gains in this county will bo larger and more substantial thin ever before. So marked Is this condition of affairs lhat the l?moerats have leeu driven from their usual course of barbecues to a cl::m bake, by which they hope to driv'e the faithful into line.

Secretary Herbert Has Powers Which Cannot lie Gainsaid. Chicago Times. "There 13 one man In the United States who has more power than the President and all the federal courts combined." said a naval otilcer recently. 'The Secretary of the Navy is the man. His power over oiticers of the navy is autocratic. He can, without the aid of a court, fine an oIHecr all the way from JtoO to $1,000 a year, according to his rank, ond simply to suit the whim of the Secretary. Unlike officers of the army, officers in the navy are not paid a uniform and fixed compensation. In the army the salary of an oilicer is fixed by law, and no one, not even tr.2 President, can deduct a cent from that pay without a court-martial. In the- navy there are three regular grade o? pay. In the case of reur admiral, which is the highest rank In the navy, the pay at sea in $,,(aM. Oa shore duty this is reduced to ?3,00y, while If the ofiicer Is on leave of absi.je or 'waiting orders this is reduced to Sl.yOO. "Now. suppose a rer admiral is ordered to the comnuni of ths Meet in the north Atlantic. The Secretary of the Navy proposes to visit trie flet. He is received on board the tlishin with all tne honors due his station, and the admiral does his best in the way of entertainment. Suppose. ;ain. when the Secretary sits down to dine at the admiral's table he finds that a chean brand of American wine H served Instead o his arcutonv l Chateau Vquem. The Secretary deterni.r.es to resent this Indignity. He goes a.shore and decides to relieve an admiral wno ltr.ovv.i nothing of tne first principles cf hosplta'Uy. He issues an rd?r detaching the admiral and placing him on waiting orders. Then on the following dav he determines to punish him still fur- ! ther. He calls in the chief of tha Bureau of Navigation and directs that Admiral Bowline be given an indefinite furlough. That means Instead of drawing S6.C00 a . vear. as he was yesterday, the late ad miral of the nortn A:nnii2 anas n:s income suddenly reduced to 2,M, and all because

he has offended the ruler of the navy in some slight manner. "Cannot the admiral appeal Certainly not. There is no one to whom he can cry out The President has no power to review the decisions of the Secretary of the Navy in matters of that kind. This Is an extreme case, of course, but it would not be' dillicult to point out where lieutenants have had their pav cut down l'rom to XW by a Secretary who had a grudge." FIELDEX LOSES HOPE.

Convinced the Anarchists' Millennium Is Far Oir, and .Now He Will Farm. CHICAGO, Oct. ll.-Samuel Fielden, the Anarchist who was pardoned while serving a life sentence for participation in the Haymarket riot of ISiS, has concluded to turn farmer. Since hi3 release from the penitentiary Fielden has been driving a beer wagon, and, having saved some money. Is looking around for c. farm to purchase. Fielden said to-day: "I will not change my views of economic and social questions, but I have not spoken at a public meeting for a long time and do not expect. to. Why? Because It seems to me the millennium Is a long ways off. I don't expect it to come during my life time, so I might as well get some satisfaction out of life, and I think I can find it better and easier on a farm than in the unsatisfactory life that a working individual must now endure in the city. The time was, of course, when I hoped for better things in the condition of the people. That Improvement was my millennium, but as I do not expect it to come during my generation I will turn farmer."

Scores of articles have been written telling what becomes of faithful, worn-out street-car horses, but never yet has a newspaper stated 'where the old street cars go to. Ask Brighton people. The back yards out there are full of them, and every day their number is increasing. Strangers cannot understand how so many of the cars have got off the track. It seems to them as if there must have been a tidal wave w-hich washed all the Cambridge cars into the next town. There the "Cambridge railroad" is stranded, its coaches cast hlsh and dry against side hills and into hollows. What was to be done with the old cars? the street-ra'droad companies asked themselves, it would cost more to spilt them up than they would fetch for kindling. But Cambridge has a bright man named Sturtevant. While the West End was wondering if it would not be the cheapest way to take the cars out by the shipload and dump them into some place where they would not interfere with navigation, he stepped in and bid for thirty-six of them, lie got thirty-iix. Then he adroitly put one in the back yp.rd of a friend in Brighton and told the children they might use it for a playhouse. The children were "tickled about to death." They sat up nlrhts to use the car, and never did the advance coach of Barnum's circu3 or Sarah Bernhardt's car attract more attention. The little folks came for miles and peered through the pickets of the fence. Then they went home and teased for a street car, and kept right on teasing. That first car was like the first boy's bicycle in an out-of-the-way town; it created a demand. In a few days Mr. Sturtevant began to make sales. It got so at last that when people ordered them Mr. Sturtevant would ask, unconsciously, "How many?" as If he were selling eggs. People with a large number of children found- that they must have several; and now one can tell about how many young ones Brighton men have got by counting the caT3 in his yard and allowing three children to each car. Mothers found they could put their small children inside and, shutting the doors, leave them with a feeling of security. It was the cheapest way, too, in many cases to provide shade. The cars could be secured for apiece, while not much stock was to be bought from the nurseries for that money. Then, also, it was necessary to wait for trees to grow, and by the car method a whole nursery was forthcoming. So the cars wero secured. dragged by horses into back yards, and the trucks removed from under them. Then the brakes were taken off, and i;ow there they lie like dismantled ships, and like a ship something of sentiment clusters around them. At first they were thought of enly as play houses. One purchaser concluded to turn hi3 into ahenliouse. Another is a contractor, and pays his men every Satur day night from the old car. Another, a Ivendrlck-street man, has fixed up his as a carpenter shop for his boy. One woman in Cambridge wanted to buy ten cars, and. wheeling them down to the seashore, con vert them into cottages and bath houses. shifting their positon with the tide. She thought that two or more could be joined together, one to be used for a sleeping car. But the owners of the beach would not sell her land for this purpose. The contractor before mentioned is build ing a basement under one of his car3 and Is painting it. He talks of putting a railing round the top and buying a lew tiowers. so that he can have a roof garden. More than one car has been pre-empted for noc turnal "lunch" purposes. The cats find them a glorious place to snooze while the wLV. plavs gently with the quaint oirt dim ity curtains. One boy has converted half of his car Into a dove house. The barbers and Chinese laundrymen are now after cars, but the supply is running short. If thev cannot get any they say tney may buy watering carts and put windows in them. One of the playhouses is usea dur ing the evenings as a clubhouse by children of a larger growtn. 'ine lamps are nanay, and when a light 13 necessary the b'.inda are pulled up to shut ofT the sight o card plaving. One mother has rigged up a cord running from the house to the bell in the car and can call her offspring without mov ing. Several mothers have taken the straps out of the cars and are using them to ex cellent advantage. Some of the cars have colored glass, gothic-shapert windows, ana It 13 rumored that the Salvation Army wants one for a chapel. Janet. Ah. my false, false-hearted Janet! She was fair and she began It.

REBELLION IN CHINA

LOYAL TROOPS ATTACKED RY INSVRRffCTIOMSTS IX HOO-PE. Two 3Iandarlna nnd Many Soldier lvilled Knfiira Repnlned by Portuguese l.n South Africa LONDON. Oct. 14. A dispatch from Shanghai, dated to-day, confirms the report that a rebellion has broken out 100 miles from Hankow. The rebels are fairly armed and very reckless. They attacked the government buildings, which were feebly defended by loyal troops. The latter were soon defeated and many of them killed; others joined the rebels. Two mandarins were killed. The province Is almost denuded of troops, and the rebels are dally gathering strength. It is expected that they will advance on Woo Chang, province of Hoo-Pe, of which Hankow Is the capital. The garrison at Woo Chang has gone to the coast, and the place is therefore practically defenseless. It Is reported at Shanghai that In conse quence of the projected loan of 10,000,000 at 1A rr rnf tn h nii.irantppil hv thp 1m. perial customs, Chinese agents abroad have J been instructed to put the best, face possi ble on the recent Chinese reverses and to represent the fleet as being active and ef ficient. A dispatch to the Times from Berlin says that Germany's refusal to Interfere in the Chinese-Japanese troubles does not affect the question of protection to Europeans in China, in which she will fully co-operate. The German commander in Chinese waters has already been authorized to dispatch a small body of marines to protect the lega tion at Peking If there should be any trouble. It is believed that the moral effect of even such a small body of European troops would effectually check a Chinese mob. BELGIAN ELECTIONS. Compulsory System of Voting? Tried for the First Time. BRUSSrX-A Oct. 14. Elections for mem bers of the Chamber of Deputies were held throughout Belgium to-day. The voting was under the new compulsory system, which provides severe penalties for nonvoters. The electors were divided into three classes, as follows: One-year residents, over twenty-five years of age, who were entitled to one vote; marled men and widowers with families, who pay personal taxes of five francs to the State, who had two votes. and priests and others of position and education, who had three votes. The clerical party, under this system, had great voting strength. The Socialists made a strong fight as the independent party. The Liberals were divided and are likely to show badly In the places where the clericals and Socialists were in force. The elections were orderly, except at Alost. in East Flanders, where collision occurred between the supporters of Abbe Paens, Christian Socialist, and M. Woeste. tire Clerical leader, who, a lew aays ago, was stoned by a mob while proceeding to a political meeting at Grammont, in East Flanders, and rorcea.to nee ror nis lire. The counting of the votes Is a slow pro cess. Returns from the Brussels districts show that the Liberals and Clericals ran closely and probably re-ballots will be neces sary. In Charlerol and Liege, mining and manufacturing centers, the Radicals and (Socialists are ahead, having defeated many Liberal candidates including Frere Joban. the moderate Liberal leader. M. De IJruyan, Minister of Public Works and Agriculture. has been re-elected In Fermonde. Knfllrs Repulsed. LOURENZO. Marquez, Oct. 14.-The re bellious Kaffirs, in great force, attacked this town to-day, but were repulsed. A renewal of the attacks is expected at any moment! The situation is serious, as the force defending the place is. not sufficient to make a, prolonged resistance. LONDON, Oct. 15. A despatch to the Times from Lourenzo Marquez says that the Portuguese have politely declined an offer of assistance made to them by Cecil Rhodes,' Prime Minister of Cape Colony, to quell the rebellion. The dispatch adds that the cable station at Lourenzo Marquez has been abandoned and the cable connected with the British warship Thrush, from which all dispatches are sent. The corresponddent continuing, says: The governor yesterday told me that he did not believe the rebels would attack the town, but they attacked it this morning and were repulsed by a heavy cannonade. Twelve Portuguese were .killed. The country 1 3 in open re volt and the authorities ta.k of asking as sistance from the Transvaal. The situation is unbearable. A Rride for n KIiik. VANCOUVER, B.

During a bull fight .at Dan. south of France, to-day an officer escorted by policemen went to the arena to stop the sport. He 'laid before the directors a legal paper forbidding the fight and was ignored by them. The toreadrres continued their work until they killed the bull, amid the cheers and applause of the spectators. After the fight the crowd hustled the policeman and Jeered the officers. The town Is much excited this evening. Annrelilftt ArNcnnl. HAVRE, Oct. 13. Seventy packages purportinr to ba furniture were landed here recently from Southampton. Upon examining them the police found that they contained a perfect arsenal of Anarchist weapons, including various bombs, ex plosives, old arms and ammunition, skele ton keys and burglar s tools. The Havre police communicated with the English po lice, who are trying to trace the packages ta the sender. The Czar's Complaint. BERLIN, Oct. 14. According to the Lokal Anzelger, a Vienna physician who 13 fully informed by St. Petersburg doctors states that the diagnosis of the Czar's complaint wavers between cancer In the renal recion and innamniatlon of the kidnevs. All the doctors, however, sgree that the end will be neither speedy nor sudlen, but that death will come after a gradual decline.

HARRISBURG, Pa., Oct. 14. Governor Pattlson is not only taking great Interest in the Democratic campaign In Pennsylvania, but in the far-reaching political battle In New York. Although the Governor's friends In this State were strong adherents of Cleveland in the Chicago convention and contributed largely to his nomination, he earnestly desires the success of Hill in New York and hopes the President will soon make a public declaration in his favor, j The Governor continues: "liiu deserve the active support of Cleveland in view of the sacrifice he has made in accepting the nomination for Governor and the political significance of the campaign In New York." Governor Pattison then said he had obtained information from a perfectly reliable source that Senator Hill had done all in his power to dissuade Maynard from being a candidate and that he had told him defeat was Inevitable If his name were placed on the ticket, but his colleagues on the bench thought otherwise. Reed nnd His Daughter. NEW YORK, Oct. 14. Thomas B. Reed has been asked by the students of the University of Michigan to present to them the truths of protection. He has consented to do so. He will make his address to them In Ann Arbor on Wednesday. Mr. Reed's daughter, a charming young girl, who is deeply interested in the career of her father, will accompany him. Indeed Miss Reed is her father's most critical auditor. She never sits on the platform or makes herself conspicuous when he speaks before a great assembly. Accompanied by a chaperon, she' seats herself In a retired seat before the orator and marks with intelligent appreciation or criticism every word and gesture of her famous sire. From Ann Arbor Mr. Reed will go to Chicago by. invitation. There he expects to address an audience as great as that which he faced in the Cooper Union in this city on Saturday night. OBITUARY. Henry If. Green, n Went Point .Classmate of General Grant. LAS VEGAS, N. M., Oct. 14. Henry II. Green died at Mora last night. Mr. Green came to this country in 1834. He was a classmate of General Grant at West Point and the General appointed him internal revenue collector In 1SC8. He was a war veteran with a proud record and was connected with the army in New Mexico for a great many years, chiefly In the quartermaster's department. He was seventy-one years of age at the time of his death. Hon. Ornn Follet. SANDUSKY. O., Oct. 14. Hon. Oran Follet. of this city, died this afternoon in his ninety-fifth year. When a boy he learned the printer's trade, edited a paper at Batavia. X. Y.. for some years, was a member of the New York Legislature and an associate of Thurlow Weed. After removing to Ohio he was the editor of the OMo State Journal, a member of the Board of Public Works and president of the Sandusky, Dayton &. Cincinnati railroad. He retired to private life in 1S0S. He was an intimate friend of William Cullen Bryant. OXE RICH MAX. A Few Timely Remarks Concerning; Levi I. Morton imtl the Demoprntn. Kate Field. It is suddenly discovered by the enemy that Mr. Morton is highly objectionable because he is a banker; not only is he a banker but he is rich. These are strange facts for Democracy to advance as reasons why Mr. Morton should not be elected Governor of New York. Is not every business mn striving to be rich? Is not Mr. Morton indebted to his own ability for hlsf success? Has he injured anyone in attaining it? Do wrecked railroads and bankrupt schemes lie in ' his wake? When failure once overtook him. did he not pay dollar for dollar with interest as soon as fortune permitted? Did he not settle this old score in a - charming ;ind original fashion? Inviting his creditors to a banquet, Mr. Morton prepared the firt v-jre on the menu with' his own hands. Under every plate lay a check for the. amount due every guest with interest to date. Was not Mr. Samuel J. Tilden rich? Is not Governor Flower rich, and a banker withal? Has any human beins. Democrat or Republican, objected to him on this sear?? Is not that able man. William C. Whitney, rich? Moreover, is not hi3 wealth partially due to a much abused monopoly? Did not Democracy wait breathlessly for h'.a arrival from Europe and send a delegation down the bay to board his ship and beg him to accept the nomination for Governor? For reasons of his own Mr. Whitney refused to fill an abhorred vacuum r.r.t named D. B. Hill as the candidate. Senator Hill Is neither rich nor poor; that clever man. Hon. Daniel N. Lockwojd. is rich. General Saxton Is poor. Sa we have thn spectacle of a rich man at one or the otr-.o-- end of both Republican ana Democratic tickets and a poor man at the other. Pots are very s;lly to call kettles black. The people of the Empire State' do not object to rich men who have won their fortunes honestly. On the contrary, they recognize the ability needed to acquire wealth and the advantages It gives. Could Mr. Morton spend thousands of dollars on a model farm and exhibit the best Imported stock at Duchess county fairs had he not money to spend on experiments from which less well-to-do farmers must surely profit? Is not that man a valuable citizen who take? the money made In business and puts It into the soil of his country? People are not fools. The cry of the Dress against wealth per se is hypocritical and raised solely for partisan purposes. Mr. Morton Is rich without the offensive characteristlce of many rich men. In his charities he resembles Peter Cooper. Few vainly appeal to him for aid. and the delicacy of his generosity is its greatest virtue. Seeing in the Republican nominations nt Saratoga the best chances for reform in New York", I hope for their election. Women can do much if they will. JAPAXESE COSTUMES.

V4 57 TACKKG IX THE SKY. A Woman Aeromiut Tell How Jh Called Home In Her Balloon. Utica Observer. v Carlotta (Mrs. Carl Myers), who made th sky voyage from Utica Park to the tal loon farm in Frankfort, on Thursday last, has consented tr tell some of ht-r experiences during ;he Interesting voyaga This is the way she does It: The vessel used by me was the one al ways selected from our large stock of balloons when I wished to travel from ths piace of ascent to any given xolnt fclectei. which this. time was my home, nine miles away. In a southeasterly direction. My reason for selecting this particular balloon is because it is the smallest and lightest hydrosren gas balloon in existence, and for that reason more easily managed in the air, responding to my will immediately a if part of myself. I left a friend at home who was unabie to go to Utica to see me ascend. I promised her I would land near enough to the home for her to see tha balloon when I emptied it of gas, which, as we manage It. is quite a sight "I think I may say that 1 made a beautiful asrension from l-tica park. Prof. Myers adjusted the weight of Fan! bil'.ast in s-nall bags so as to nearly balance tha lifting power of t ae gas. to make th ascent very slow. The balloon just Moated from his hands and quietly arose. Tha large crowd was too attentive to be enthusiastic and stood quietly watching tha balloon with eager, uplifted faces as it gradually arose to the height of a milo and began lloatlng off toward Frankfort Centre, far south of my route, and 1 sa that I would soon be In Litchfield. Now, this was not going home and so did not suit me. I noted on my barometer at what height I had encountered this current, taking me southwest. I thrn sprinkled out a little sand to lighten my balloon and hastened my rie through this current and presently reached two miles' elevation, where I found a wind blowing from west to east. All this time I had been siowly drifting along till I was over the center of Hunserford ..111 or, as I believe It Is called. Grafenburg. I slowly turned eastward. "You see, I was now in line for my home, but I knew that In landing I mut pas through the lower wind acaln. which would take me again southwest. So. still keerv lng my balloon two miles hih, I floated across the valley, across canal and river, till 1 stood over East Schuyler. Now, my home lay three miles air-line to the southwest of me, and I was just ready to u.a the lewer mile-high wind blowing towards the southwest. So I pulled on the valve cord running from my car up through tha bottom of the'lvilloon neck clear to the top, where It opened two little doors which let out gas enough to make Che balloon heavier than the air and cause it to settlt. slowly. The farmers under me, haying, smv the balloon was coming down, and Ugan to run under it and call to me, but I toil them I was not going to stop there; I was going home. One young man shouted: 'You mean you are going to land on your own farm? I said: 'Yes. If I can.' H silli Til be there, and he was. I watched my barometer as it marked one mile high, and looked anxiously for the wind I expected to meet me t?Te to escort me homeward. It was waiting for me, and we went on toccther across the river and the canal, and in the green fields of the pla-teau upon which the balloon farm is situated I brought mv little car to the ground within a feuT rods of my home in the western end of Franklin village." Xevr Benign for Currency. Harper's Weekly. The Treasury Department at Washington, is preparing to spend between EVD.O'iO and SICO.OOo to give the people of the United States a more artistic pap?r currency. Of course any estimate of the jmssible cost of the changes In design of the treasury notes and certificates is necessarily vague and unsatisfactory. And to a billion-dollar country the amount to be- spent is small. If it were f'.XXMO considering the results to be attained. But the great American public usually wants to know of any public work just what it cost: and as nearly as an estimate can be formed at the present time the reform inaugurated unJer Secretary Carlisle by Chief Johnson, of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, will cost at leart J.7,CO0. There are thirty-six designs to be changed eventually; though the vr a ent plan contemplates the experimental change of but six the designs for the s lv r certificates of th denominations of $1. 52. Jo. J10, J0 and $100. If these changes are acceptable to th? public, the others will follow. !VnvnI Yards nml Docks. WASHINGTON. Ot. 14. The annual report of Commodore E. O. Matthews to the Secretary of the Navy upon the navy yards and clocks estimates the expenditure for the next fiscal year at H.SG1.2&. whion Is a reduction of the estimates submitted, bv the commandants cf the yards of $o.6i'.fcl'O.

The leading feature of the report is the suggestion oy t:ia chief of the urgent need for at lea?t four new dry clocks, to le located at Ieagua Island, Pennsylvania, Boston, Norfolk and Mare Island, California.
