BAllOYECA, State of Sonora, Mexico, Jan. 7. A case of terrible revenge by a dishonored woman has been discovered here. Under promise of marriage, Diego onzales betrayed a young woman of good family, named Velazquez. The deceiver kept putting off his promises In Its fulfillment until tho dishonored woman, becoming desperate, dei fied to take her revenge. Taking her mother into her conJldence, the two women enticed their intended victim into their house and there tabbed him to death. Removing the stones from the floor of one' of tho rooms they excavated a shallow grave into which they placed the body and then relald the flags of the floor. By reason of the earth being hard it had been impossible to . dig the grave deeper and the result was that the process of decay caused the discovery to bo made by one of the neighbors. The two women are in tho hands of the authorities. WAIF FROM THE CHICORA. A Trniny Dk from the Lost Boat Swim Ashore. BENTON HARBOR, . Mich., Jan. 27. "When the Chicora went out of St. Joseph' on Its last trip there was a dog aboard. Yesterday the dog was brought into the city alive. Tuesday night the dog was heard whining at the door of a road house at Pottowattomle Park. It Is a snuffcolored sky terrier. It was covered with Ice. The finder connected the visit of the strange dog,, which bad evidently just come out of the cold water, with the loss of the Chicora, and. brought it . to this city yesterday,' where it was Immediately recognized hy tho stevedoren who work on tho Graham docks and by the crews of the Petoskey as the , animal aboard the Chicora when it left. It has been tramp passenger on the Graham alid Morton Transportation, Company's boats for several months. The return of the animal indicates that the Chicora was within half a mile of the east shore Tuesday evening, the Becond night out. The dog. it is believed, could not swim more than a quarter of a mile. The plare where tho dog came ashore, Pottomattomie. Park, la eight miles north of here. . .. lee Fields Iteturn. : BENTON HARBOR, Mich., Jan. 27. The heavy snow and windstorm which spread over this section last Friday night is still raging In all its' fury. ' Four passenger trains and 'one freight train on , the Big Four ailway were stuck in the drift about live miles this side of ' Niles for twentyfour hours. It is reported that the early fruit has been damaged by the gale, as the early peach buds had gained a slight growth during the recent open weather. The late fruit has not been injured. The southwesterly winds have brought the large Ice llelds, which went out Into the lake Fridliy, back to this shore. This harbor, which had Just been opened by blasting the Ice with dynamite, is again piled with a wall of huge banks of solid ice., The ice fields along the shore near South Haven are reported to havo returned, and Just as soon as the blinding snowstorm ceases another party of searchers will be set to work looking for the steamer Chicora' s wreck. AMUSEMENTS. ' Grand 'Mane." The story of a spendthrift young man, wbo receives remittances from a rich uncle to support an imaginary wife, and who calls on his clever housemaid to impersonate the fictitious spouse, Is very cleverly told In "Jane." which opens at the Grand to-night for three nights and a Wednesday matinee. Those who saw "Jane" last season will remember it as one of the most amusing light comedies extant. Enttllb.' "la the Tenderloin." In "In he Tonderloin" one of the many thrilling scenes !s Tom Gould's Sans Soucl, reproduced , with strict accuracy and with Gould himself, his big negro, Morris Grant, almost as , famous, and ' with a . first class vaudeville entertainment. There Is a real bar with real glass ware and Gould's Iden-. tlcal bartenders. Beer, whisky, champagne and cigars are bought and sold, the same as in the original place, und all the types of Tenderloin characters are seen at the tables and In the boxes. - Park "Lost lu Kcw.York" To-Duy. The first half of this week the Park Theater will have Lemara Grover's popular "tank" drama, "Lost In "ew York." The company is said to be the cleverest that has' ever appeared in; the play, especially MIsa Lilly B. Sinclair, who plays the leading role of Jennie the "Waif, fend Mr. Charles E. Edwards, who has made a grand success as the "tramp." The river of real water is Ktlll a feature of the show, of course. The opeclal scenery requires two cars in it transportation, and is from the brush of Arthur Voegtlen, of the Madison Square Theater, New York. Tho most prominent scenes are the East river by moonlight, Orammercy square, Randall's Island Insane Asylum. Madism Square Garden illuminated and New York harbor at" night, showing tli shipping at anchor in the foreground and the city in the distance, with its myriads of twinkling lights. Mutineer Fennensy'N Company. Manager Fennessy's company arrived in the city yesterday morning, and will open a week's engagement at tho Empire Theater with a rratinee to-duy.

ELECTRIC HEADLIGHT

GEOKCB PY.LE HAS REDtCED THE .. . WEIGHT GOO POUNDS. D. M. Parry Sees a Brighter Prospect In the Future and Hope for . Revival. George C. Byte, of this city, has Invented a new electric headlight for locomotives which he thinks will entirely eradicate the many objections heretofore existing which has prevented its. general adoption on the railroads. His new engine for driving the dynamos i3 a compound steam turbine and capable of very high speed. It i3 exceedingly simple, compact and light and there is nothing to get 6ut of order about it, nor is there . anything to wear out . "except the bearings and they run in oil. The force of the steam is used over and over again, some five or six times before It is exhausted into the atmosphere; in fact the expansive force of the steam is used to its utmost limit. The dynamos and the engine are cast together and the armature is mounted directly on the engine shaft, which runs at 2,000 revolutions per minute. The design of the plant is very ingenious and neat and forms a very compact piece of mechanism. It is eighteen inches long, fourteen. Inches wide and fifteen inches high and the combined weight Is only 200 pounds, about 600 pounds lighter than the plant now In use. " Mr.: Pyle thlnkB his new lamp is the climax of perfection for locomotive use. He feeds tho carbon in a new and novel manner, having no gears nor clutches about it. This and the reflector will be mounted on an independent base which will be secured to the sliding lamp board, allowing the. lamp and the reflector to be properly adjusted, thus removing the possibility of the rays of light crossing before striking the track, a feature which will be appreciated by those using tho light. -A company will be organized at once to placo the light on the market. Mr. Pyle was offered inducements to go to Philadelphia to manufacture his new plant, but he decided to remain here, thinking this the bts location for such an enterprise. . Business Prospects Brighter. D.. M. Parry, president of the Parry Manufacturing Company, has just returned from an extended Western trip. For fifteen years past he has been In the habit of visiting Western business centers and taking soundings of business. He says when he left home he had been reading the Dun and Bradstreet reports, and felt a little shaky about the future of trade. At Kansas City he met five hundred or moremanufacturers in convention, and he says the tenor of their remarks was more encouraging than he had looked for. Manufacturers, whom he met last year, when asked about business, would answer that it was about aa bad as could be. This year the same manufacturers would smile and say the sky is ciearlng and prospects brightening, and, while none claimed that their business would equal that of 1S90, 1S91 and 1892, almost without exception t&ey said it was an improvement over 1893 and early 1894. These remarks were based on the manner in which orders for future delivery are coming In. Aa to his own business Mr. Parry states that his company now has 25 per cent, more orders booked than it had the last week in January, 1894. Indlaiiapolio Cabinet Work. John T. Dickson, president of the Indianapolis cabinet works, i3 one of the busiest men in the city. . He Is determined to have the business of these works reach Its old time volume. He has now employed one hundred and forty-five men and Is receiving orders from all parts of the country for desks and is greatly encouraged over the outlook. There are no desk works in the country which has as extensive advertisement as this establishment. It is literally true that there is hardly a government on the earth which has no desks manufactured by the Indianapolis cabinet works.. These works (have quite an advantage in that they ere the best equipped in tba wav of modern machinery of any . in the country. , Then again In purchasing tho stock of lumber from the old works the new company secured some of the choicest that is cut and in a perfect condition. Mr. Dickson says thev are feeling their way cautiously and by the time basiness assumes its old time volume they will have the works in every department runnlrg at the fullest capicity. Loss ot Reciprocity Treaties. Nordye & Marmon Company has about the usual . force at work, but are not so sanguine of a revival of business in their line as had been hoped, a few months ago, the first of the new year would warrant. Some few; orders are toeing secured, and there Is some business in -sight which may develop favorably as spring opens up. The abrogation of the reciprocity treaties is being felt by them. as the flour which would have been exported by the large mills Is being thrown on the home market, the result being that those who would have built new mills have found the prospect unfavorable, and even those mills in operation which would have been improved, If this outlet for their product had not been cut off. are running alortg with as little outlay for repairs as possible. Growth of Mantel Building. M. S. Huey & Son five years ago began the manufacture of wooden mantels on a limited scale, employing a few men who were competent an designers and finishers, and from this small beginning have built up one of the most prosperous of this city's industries. They now have sixty-five men at work, and expect to increase the number to one hundred men in the near future, so handsomely has their business increased in the last three months. Borne of their designs are novel and very attractive. Mr. Huey says there is hardly a State in the Union to which they ars not shipping mantels, and eventually this promises to become one' of this city's largest manufacturing interests. Must Have More Room. President Condultt, of the Indiana Coffee Company, says their business has reached such a volume that they must have more room, and thatamdoubtedly at the annual meeting of the stockholders In April steps will be taken to at once erect a building suitable for their purpose. He savs that each year their business doubles in volume. A. M. McCleary, general manager. Is pushing energetically every department, and the goods are now handled by every wholesale grocer of note. Some idea of the business they are doing may be formed in the fact that since the 1st of January they have imported $30,000 worth of coffees. Ucnn Brothers Eurovrased, Dean Brothers are now well settled In their new shops, corner of First street and the Big Four tracks, and are working a force of about 130 men. The last few days they have received a number of good orders, an lust week chipped three of their new pattern of ammonia pumps to New York city and one to" White Flalns. N. Y. Among other shipments last week were two duplex pumps for quarries to Waterly, R. I., and a largo duplex water supply pump to Manchester, N. II. TndnKtrial Notes. "During the recent fix days of good sleighing one firm in this city sold 10S sleighs. . The starch works are funning to their full capacity, converting four thousand bushel of corn per day into starch. General Manager Pell reports a decided Improvement in export orders. Fisher fc Co., of Racine, Wis., large manufacturers of wagons, have established a branch house here and put G. H. Shover in charge of it. it is their intention to make Indianapolis a distributing point for their product. The low price for bread has increased the demand to such an extent that the bakers are experiencing busy times to keep up the supply. The last ten days Tarrott & Tsggart have been converting W to 1S1 barrels of Hour Into bread, crackers and cakes daily, working large day and night forces. P.. M. Tierce, who has quite a reputation for toning violins, has decided to commence the manufacture of them. anc'. lias leased room and power in the Wright & Wright building, where he expects to employ a number of skilled workmen. There has been an increased demand for violins of late years, while, manufacturers of this class of instrument are very few.-.-The Tenor n Kicker. Detroit Free Press..

COLD WEATHER STORIES. - The conductor on a s North Illinois street car was stamping his feet and slapping his hands yesterday -afternoon endeavoring to keep up a good circulation and thereby obtain warmth. The car stopped to take on a woman passenger. She was apparently thinly clad for she had nothing about her shoulders but a loose wrap. She took her seat near the door and the conductor watched" her enviously. She had not . the least appearnce of being cold, but sat as quietly and, apparently comfortably, as if she had been by a warm gas tire. Her hand didn't shake when she handed out her fare. "It is a funny thing to me," remarked tha conductor, as he pulled on his three pair of gloves, "how some of these women can stand the cold. Now that woman doesn't know it Is cold, at least she doesn't show it. This is the first car that has been along here for twenty minutes and she must have stood on the corner waiting for some time. You see that little woman sitting in the corner? Well, she had to wait too. You see she has a very light cloak on which does not button up close in front. She' doesn't look cold, but that big felVow on, the other side, wearing a fur ca and an ulster, is shaking liko a leaf. Look at his nose and eyes and then look at those women. I can't for the life of me see how they stand it. A woman never kicks about having to wait a day like this for a car. If we are siow about stopping or start up too quick she complains, but she says nothing about the weather. The men all kick and say they are frozen stiff waiting and then they set in and abuse us because there are not more cars and the ones we have are not heated." Yesterday struck the average individual as being a very cold day. But when the population of this vicinity is united in t opinion of the weather the weather man comes forward and says 4t is not so very cold. '" Yesterday 75,000 people could be found in the city who would have taken oath that the mercury, in the thermometer was way down below zero, but the infallible weather man says the lowest point reacned was live above. A sharp and biting west wind made the cold more intense. It moderated some during the day, according to the instruments at the weather shop, -but the population was not willing to concede this. Last evening the thermometer registered fifteen degrees above. .The indications are for clear weather - and some warmer temperature with emphasis on the "some." Notwithstanding the severe weather hun-" dreds of people had their skates on yesterday. The ice upon the canal was solid and firm. Large fires were kept burning on the banks and they were as popular as tho ice, but scores of small boys didn't have to go to the canal for skating. They made use of the ice on the sidewalks and streets. It was not the finest skating imaginable, but the boys seemed to enjoy it. IXSt'RAXCE NEWS AND XOTES.

The Metropolitan Life wrote J3O8.00O.00O of new business last year. The annual statement will eoon be made public, giving the details of the year's work. The new building of the Manhattan Life Insurance Company, of New York, . was recently insured lor $1,000,000. 'ine risk was placed by the Citizens' Fire at 20 cents for three years with the 80 per cent, co-insurance clause. , The fourteenth annual meetins of the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association was held at the home office in New York on the 23d instant, when it was officially announced that the new business received in 1894 exceeded 581,000,000. Judge Barrett, of New York, has granted an order dissolving the ComMercial Alliance Life Insurance Company, on the application of the Attorney-general, and making W. T. Gilbert, tho temporary receiver, permanent receiver. A valued policy bill Is now up before the North Carolina Legislature and likely to be adopted. It reads that all fire insurance companies doing business in that State shall be liable for the full value of the policies Insured on which a premium is paid. . Edward O. Gay, who was charged with ; violating . the insurance laws of Michigan by soliciting business for the Manufacturers' Lloyds, was found guilty in-the Circuit Court at Kalamazoo. The case will , be appealed to the Supreme Court on a bill of exceptions. . Charles T. Hopper will succeed "William Bro Smith as secretary of the United States Mutual Accident Association Feb. 1. Mr. Hopper is now the (assistant secretary. Mr. Smith, as has been announced, will enter the service of the Travelers', of Hartford, as assistant secretary at the same time. The New York Life has loaned $400,000 on the building which is erecting at West Broadway and Beach streets, to be known as the Wool Exchange. Mayor William L. Strong is the president of the New York Wool Warehouse Company, which owns the Exchange Building, and is also a trustee of the New York Life. The suit of the ITnion Insurance Company, of Philadelphia, against the Continental Fire Insurance Company, of New York, to recover $101,201, which was decided in favor of the Union, but appealed to the United States Supreme Court try the Continental, was finally settled on the 11th instant, the Union receiving the amount in full. This suit is the result of the fraudulent dealings of the notorious Lorenro Dimlck, of Buffalo, who died a f u"gutive in Canada in 18S5. A writ of habeas corpus was secured by ex-President Midgley, of the defunct American Casualty Insurance and Security Company, from Judge Barrett, of the New York Supreme Court, for the purpose or being brought Into court and having the legality of his arrest determined. He claimed that his detention was unjustified. Ow Monday last he grand jury of the Court of General Sessions found additional indictments against Midgley for larceny of funds- belonging to the defunct . eotmpany. The executors of the estate of the late William M. Runk; who carries upwards of $000,000 insurance on his life, have brought suits asainst the Mutual Life and Home Life companies of Now York, the former for $75,C0O and the latter for $50,000. Both policies were taken out only a few months before Runk killed himself. The companies refuse to pay and allege that Runk insured his life with fraudulent intent to commit suicide in order that the proceeds might be applied to the liquidation of his debt: and providing for his family. By the fiftieth annual statement of the New York Life, just made public, it appears that the company Issued 81,324 new policies in 1894, representing $200,086,248. This does not include old policies revived, pa.'d-up insurance granted for old policies surrendered or the excess portion on installment policies over the sum payable if discontinued, immediately after death. Including revived and additions the figures are 51,524 policies, representing $206,545,392. There are 277.00- policies in force for $$813,294,160. The gross assets of tho company now reach the sum of $162,011,770. The surplus was increased by $3,200,009 and now figures up to $20,249,307. The Amsterdam, (N. Y.), Democrat tells this somewhat misty tale: "A gigantic swindling scheme to defraud several leading life insurance companies of $109,000 is being unearthed by detectives representing the companies interested. The case when brought fully to light will be of more or less interest, the parties implicated having performed a portion of their operations in - this vicinity. The plan, which will be brought to a sudden termination shortly, was to do away with an idiotic relative whom two women had Insured for $10J,f!00, which they intended securing after the demise of the unfortunate individual, who had been banished from a. southern section of the country to a point not far distant from Amsterdam, tho intention being to evade the detectives who have been working up the matter." About two hundred policy holders of the United States Mutual Accident Association attended a somewhat breesy meeting on the ISth to take steps to reincorporate the organization as a stock company. A resolution was adopted in favor of changing from a mutual to a stock plan, and a commmlttee consisting of J. C. Barrows, of St. Louis; George T. French, of Chicago: G. R. Sutherland, of New York; J. W. Hlnkley. of Pousrhkeepsie; -. R. Josselyn, of Detroit: George C. Knobbe, of New York; J. B. Phillips, of Baltimore, and R. J. Arnold, of New York, appointed to consider the details of organization and the methods of obtaining this end tinder the law. An assertion by a dissatisfied member that the call for the meeting was not prop rly signed and issued wa met by the affidavit of Clerk Lauenttein, which declared that he had personally mailed lu the general postofflce lS.O'X) notice or calls to the meeting. These were properly enveloped, addressed and stamped, and carried down to tho postofliee on a truck. On the same day Judffe Lacombe. of the United States Circuit t?ourt. issued 'aa injunction, restraining the association from ic incorporating or reorganzing until a los of $13.0W has oeen paid to Hattie S. Flbble for the death of her husband. The-annual meeting ot the association will; be held Feb. 27 ... ......

SIGNING THE WINNERS

MAXAGER WATKIXS .COXFIDEXT OF. SECIRIXG THE PEXAXT. Grnnd Stand and.Bleachers at the Park "Will Be .Overhauled and Additions 3Inde. Manager Watkins was still confined to his bed at the Grand Hotel yesterday and has been ordered by his physician not to venture out until to-morrow. He is laid up with neuralgia in the face,, and the suffering became 60 intense night before last that the doctor yesterday extracted three teeth aa the only means of relief. This had the effect to reduce the swelling and to restore to his accustomed peace of mind the suave and level-headed manager, for whose brow Confidence has selected the wreath of victory in the season of 1835 He repeated successes of the past in training leaders and in forging losing .teams., to .'.tho front keeps him in the eye of the baseball people of the country and . gives trood omen of a 'winning place for , the Hoosier team this seasort. This 13 evidenced by. a squib in the Enquirer yesterday which said: "Watkins is very liable, to. give Indianapolis a very strong team next season. In. 1S85 he had a very strong aggregation in the Hoosier capital. He is not loading up with experiments now, but is laying back to sign what Cincinnati and other league cluos turn loose. Some of the talent tnat is not quite strong enough for the major league may prove cracker-jacks in the minors, a bearing out of the old saying of 'little fish in a big puddle, but big -fish in a small puddle.' " - - . " Mr.-Watkins, It may be added, appears to be a good judge of. ball players as well as what constitutes good . balL: The secret of his success with teams In the past seems to lie In his infatuation for what he calls "the. almighty run." Star playing is not his style of playing, because it covers one player with glory, where scattered over the team would bring victory and the pennant. He hopes to push Indianapolis to the first place this year and then there is a vision of a successful future in the, .National League. This is so probable that there is a disposition among aspiring players, anxious for the higher salary limit and the glory of the master league, to play. in Indianapolis this year. This is what makes the following, also from the Enquirer, a significant remark: "Jack Chapman, of Rochester, has put in a claim for Motz, McCarthy and Cross, but, as they are under reservation to Cincinnati in the National League and Indianapolis In the Western. League, Jack cannot get them with a dark lantern and a jimmy." Mr. Watkins differs from the Indianapolis public in his estimation of the vaJue of Cross, who, while he demonstrated here several times last season that he could play ball, yet seldom seemed to want to do so. The manager says that Cross layed at a disadvantage, and should not e judged by the work wltn the Indianapolis team last summer. He felt that he had not been treated with much consideration and was unhappy in hl3 disappoint ment; but that if he should begin the season with the Indianapolis club and was made to realize that bis future In the league lies in good work here, he would play with the same energy and power as Motz, whosesituation was much the same and whose disposition is evidently much more agreeable. Manager Watkins will secure Cross if he can, thinking him one of the most brilliant of last season's Wrestern League players in the box, but he "says that no friendship can withhold the ax if work is not satisfactory. Enough was eeen of Cross's work in the box. here last year to realize his ability, "and the only doubt about him lies in his willingness to do his best at anv arid all times. This is enough. howJwer, to make it necessary for Cross, in comhig here, first to remove unfavorable Impressions and not only do earnest work, but to do it cheerfully. Pastorious, another pitcher, signed by Manager Watkins, ended the season last year in bad physical form, but that, it is said, was due to thej fact' that Toledo worked him so hard .at .the xipeoing of the season that his arm yaVTiiJured. requiring' him to rest the balance of the season. Pastorius is known, pjs "the Barnesville wonder." Chaomeey Fisher, of Anderson, is a third pitcher in whom Manager Watkins has great confidence, and it is altogether probable that if Cincinnati releases him he wil play alongside Motz, CroBs and McCarthy. The same condition predicates the securing of these three players, who are engaged with Cincinnati. Perry Coughman, of Girard, Pa,, will play with the Indianapolis, having been signed last week. He is a young player, an enthusiast on the game,, and comes well recommended to the manager; by red Ely, the St. Louis shortstop,-,-who made a bet with Manager Watkins that .Coughman would he one of the stars at the closw of the season.' He is said to , be. fast and reliable, and plays second, third or-short with much ability, preferring third base. His playing heretofore has been of the semi-professional The local management has determined to make a number of changes at the ball park. The grand stand, which used to tremble in the hefivy storms, will be strengthened by a new underpinning and new chairs will be bought for it. The bleachers will be extended so as to seat a thousand more people. Separate entrances for patrons to the bleachers will be provided, thus dispensing with the use of coupon tickets at the grand stand entrance. The work will be done as soon as the weather settles in the spring. It is only six to eight weeks until the "fans" will be all excitement again, and work will grow heavy after 4 o'clock In the afternoon. The first games will occur in April for exhibition, the visiting teams including the Isatonal League clubs of-the West, and clubs in the Western Interstate League. Dates were arranged yesterday with the Terre Haute club for gamesin this city April U and 12, and in Terre Haute April 19. Cincinnati will play (here April 8 and 9, and tne"e two clubs will, play in Cincinnati April 22 and 23. , . . AMONG THE KKW BOOKS. t Crockett's latest "Work. (From the Bowen-Merrill Company.) The title of a new story toy S. R. Crockett, author of "The Stlcklt Minister," is "The Play-Actress." It does not fall within the category of short stories, and' yet it bears about the same relation to a novel that a-one-ict "melodrama .does to a fiveact tragedy. The story is full of movement, and has all the elements of a complete novel, yet It is so free from surplusage that it' occupies comparatively little space. On leaving church one Sunday after delivering an Impressive sermon a great Scotch preacher is met by a sweet-faced young woman, who asks him to take charge of a little girl whom she .holds by the hand. Tne preacher is sixty years cla, a wiiJower, and childless. The little girl is the daugh-. ter of his prodigal eon, now deceased, lier mother is a dissolute woman in London. The young ladv who has her in charge is her mother's sister, Aunt Bessie, an actress in London. She supports and takes care of her dissolute sister, and - she has come to Scotland to leave the child with its grandfather. After satisfying .himself . of the truii of the story the old man accepts the charge of the little . girl. His experience with the child girl Is pathetic and interesting. To his great surprise she proves to have had the best possible religious instruction, and is in every way a mopt winning and lovely child. Aunt Bessie has- left a lasting impression on-his mind, and final! y he goes to London to hunt her up. His experiences in the metropolis are very interesting. He finally goes to a theater, gets behin1 the scenes and finds Aunt Bessie. He also encounters the dissolute wifo of his dead son. He tells Aunt IleFfsic how the child longs to see her, and begs her to come to the country and live with his sister. Accident brings him into a party of revelers, where his daughter-in-law is leading a carouse, lie preaches a short sermon that dispels the party and touches the heart of his daughter-in-law. She repents and dies with her hand in the minister's. He returns to his country home. Aunt Bessie goes with him, and finally marries a tine young fellow who has loved her a long time, and who follows her from London. The story is beautifully written, full of pathos, and abounds with fine touches of characfer sketching. A charming and original story. New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons. - "Ethic of Literature." Under the title. "Ethics of Literature." John A. Kersey, a well known attorney of Marion, Ind., has issued a book containing twenty-three Independent chapters and 572 pages. The distinct treatment and limitations of each of the twenty-three "chapters" suggest a more intelligible division; that is to say. a division clearly Indicating the jpei;l character of the work. In "Ethics of Lkerature" the author takes the field against literary, scientific

and speculative charlatans -of all epochsif, indeed, there is such a thing as an epoch, which - Mr. 'Kersey denies on philosophical grounds. A tirief verbal description of the work might wholly mislead the average seeker after useful knowledge. The inference might be that the writer had devoted himself to a species of knight errantry, with a view of winning notoriety by censuring his betters. But those who will do him the justice to read any single "chapter" in his book will quickly decide that the writer is not only a master of diction but a deep student and clear, incisive reasoner and critic. The opening essay is devoted to an examination and merciless dissection of Butler's analogy, a work which for the past half century or more has been accepted by Christian scholars as a sort of metaphysical bridge between reason and revelation. The second chapter takes up Henry Drummond's "Natural Law in the Spiritual AVorld," and shows the logical relation of this work to ihat of Bishop Butler, inasmuch as the latter "argues that the mind may suppose an analogy : between the two existences" (natural and spiritual), while Drummond goes further and asserts "that the physical is a working model for the spiritual; and attempts to avert the consequences of the analogy by intensifying it into : identity." "These arguments, however," says Mr. Kersey, "are so nearly identical that the logical results will be found to he the same." , The succeeding chapters, or Installments, treat In consecutive order the following topics: "Epic Apologetics." "Divine Dispensation "Vindicated in Political Philosophy," "Poetical Parasitism." "Mysticism and Egotism," ("Ancient Philosophy in Modern Attire," "Nature's Poet" (Bryant), "Obscurity and Profusion sl3 Indications of Genius," (three chapters), Classification. Generalization and Metaphor," "Mystified Metaphysics," (three chapters), "Scientific Circumlocation," "Scientific Accountability," "Philosophy of Faust," "Comparative Apologetics," "Literary Sufism," "Substance of the Unsubstantial," "Piou3 Frauds in Literature," and "Scientific Socialism." Under these heads the critical author reviews tho works of Carlyle, Taine, Milton, Tennyson, Bryant, Kant, Spencer, Horatius, and others accepted by the world as intellectual guides. Ir: the lrst chapter Mr. Kr-r-. soy gives a scathing review of Kldd's recent and very popular work entitled, "Social Evolution." Uhe author engages with equal prowess in a sentimental tilt with Tennyson and a metaphysical . combat with Emmanual Kant. His learning is profoand and his methods fair and philosophical. 'Ethics of Literature" was carefully read in ' manuscript by the celebrated German traveler and scientist.

John Burroughs, In his preface to his latest work, says: "I have often said to myself, 'Why should one not name his books as he names his children, arbitrarily, and let the name come to mean much or little, as the case may be?' In the case of the present volume probably my last collection of out-of-door papers I have taken this course, and have given to the book tho name of my place here on the Hudson, 'Rlverby, by the river, where the sketches were written, and where for so mapy years' I have been an interested spectator of the life of nature, as, with the hanging seasons it has ebbed and flowed past my door." This introduces the reader to 'Riverby, by the river, where the sketches on different phases of nature and outdoor life.

In these days of women's clubs inquiry is often made for a treatise on parliamentary law and practice adapted to their use. Most works on the subject are too bulky and technical to be of use and contain a great deal of unnecessary matter. The want is well supplied by a little work entitled. "Parliamentary Usage for Women's Clubs," compiled 'by Maria Frances Prichard, of Cincinnati. The lady is a well-known club woman and knows by experience what the average woman wants in the way of parliamentary law. This little treatise is thoroughly practical and presents in small compass and clear, concise style all that the average- woman or man, either, needs to know of parliamentary law.

Mr. Rnwte Thinks It Must Be Consld. ered in Treating of Finance. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: A permanent , solution of the financial question requires that it be done in conformity to the law of profits. The tremendous fall in the value of property of many kinds was preceded by a decline In profits. Values bear a relation to profits of about 20 to I on the average that Is to. say, average values in this country are on a 5 per cent, basis. A decline of prifits of one point means a decline of values of twenty points. The relation, therefore, of profits to values depending upon them is the allImportant relation, and the cause of a decline in profits Is the all-Important cause. The Ricardian theory makes profits the leavings of wages, meaning that a fall in price must first cut into profits, and that wages can suffer only when profits fall below, the average. When profits are too low production ceases. That theory gives the fact of the relation that profits bear to wages there 13 little room for doubt, but it does not rise to the dignity of a law. Ricardo does not take causes into account and explain in a satisfactory way the necessary variation of profits. Some industries, in order to maintain themselves, require a much higher rate of profit than others. Values which require a high rate of profit do not decline as rapidly nor as far as they do where rates of profit are lower. When values and profits are as five to one, or on a twenty per cent, basis, profits must lose four points before values will decline as much as they will with a loss of one point at a 5 per cent, basis. We know that rates of profit vary with the quantity and stability of value, that low rates of profit exis. when values are groat in quantity and have great stability. Higher rates are required where values are small and unstable. To draw a line and separate these classes of values Ricardo Invented . or applied definitions to them. He first separated wealth from value, then separated wages, profits and rents from wealth; next capital was separated from value, and it was divided Into fixed and circulating capital. Instead of this division of value clearing the ground it merely classified the facts and left fundamental principles aa remote as ever. Let us try and clear the ground of some of this mirplus verbiage and see if we cannot lay hold of fundamentals and keep to them. Let us consider value in the relation of its development. It is self-evident that values which are variable in quantity and unstable are values of primary production. This includes not only agricultural products of simple societies, but the Jhighly developed commodities of complex societies as well. Each class of products bears a similar relation in the society in which they are produced that is to say, that each is primary to some other values which they sustain. Primary value is, then, the first in the order of development, and would Include all that Ricardo includes in wages, in profits, in rents and in circulating capital. It is a fact, beyond question, that the laws of development apply us well to society as to physics. We know that the secondary develops or evolves from the primary, that the compound is made up from the simple. Secondary value is next, therefore, in. order of development. Secondary values are distinguished from primary values as compound from simple. Secondary values are those of greater quantity, greater stability and greater complexity than primary values. The law of development Is this: As primary values increase in quantity secondary values develop; as primary values continue in quantity secondary values will develop in stability. We now come to the law of profits naturally and without beating about the bush. Profits vary as the quantity and stability of value. Increasing or diminishing as quantity and . stability of value increases or diminishes. The relation of prcflt3 'is, therefore, the relation of primary values to secondary values. The rate of profit is the speed with Which primary values become secondary values. The most stable values have the lowest rate of profit and require the longest time to condense value. What has all this to do with the money question? you may ask. It has much to do with it. The finance question Is a question of money and securities, and these represent values. Money and securities bear the same relation to each other that primary and scondary values bear. Money is to primary veluei what securities are to secondary values. Money holds primary value in transit from a value in one thing to a value in another. Securities hold, or contain, secondary values in the same way. The stability of a currencv wili depend upon the quantity and stability of secondary value for which it may be exchanged, or into which It may be converted. The most stable Values are thosa that bear the lowest rate of profit. Government bonds of a low rate of interest are the ideal security, and a full legal tender convertible into them would give us the ideal currencv. A duscussion of gold would require too much space, but rhe greatest danger that confronts the financial world is a gold crisis that will follow as sure as nirrht follows day. Gold will some day, not far ustant. follow the lead of silver, and in Fpite of all our laws will lose most of it valim without glvlnar us warning. - HENRY RAWIE. Anderson.

To the Editor of the Irdianapolis Jo-irnal-: I have read with considerable interet tho articles of Mr. Sears, "M. B. F." and "M. W.

I desire to call attention to the fact that these articles and rec-nt events have coined a new word, "Overturfs." and I doubt if your readers not up in local history have the slightest conception of Its meaning and are wondering what it Is ell about. I mako bold to Kay that if all -the circumstances were placed before the lexicographers they would give the world the meaning of overturf mistresses of murderers; or, mistresses. This being a logical eonclui'oti established by obvious conditions, I assert,, that Overturfs cannot be reformed. An Overlurf is never needy; she Is always well fed, well clothed and comfortably habitated. She Is not to be fund in the brothrl or es an asociate of her sinters who are so unfortunsue a to occupy position In lower rlas. to which she will eventually fail.

' " A Presistcct Stomach Trouble, Which continued for years, gave me misery beyond power of words to describe. I tried th best physicians I could find and many remedies that were reconmended to me by sympathizing friends. No matter what I tried I could at best obtain only temporary relief, and following this relief the disease would seem to Return Wltii Redoubled Energy. I had lost all hope of enre when fortunately Lyon's Seven Wonders was recommended to me, nnd with little hope ot relief, I began taking it. The suddenness with wfiich my disease gave way under the use of this medicin was a great surprise to myself and to those who knew my eonditiou.
