Yvette Ouilbert Is to have an American topical song built to order. She la going to sing it when she gets back to Paris to give the French people a suggestion of a distinctly American type. The "cash" girl In the big New York stores suggested the Idea to Yvette, for she says she has found nothing else distinctly American In the big town. "As soon as I get home I'm going to nave ro me body write a eong whlcix I have already planned," she sail to a rejorter for the New York Sun. "The refrain of every verse Is to be 'Cash! and in the first stanza I will explain 1iow in the American shops the girls all cry 'Cash! In the second verse It will be a little girl that cries Cash! and so on until wlien she becomes older and Is no longer a good shop girl, she still continues to call Cash! The shop girls and that cry of 'Cash! are the only really American features of the shops. The rest of it is all German." When Yvette Guilbert sang in London before e!ie came to this country it was Announced that she was to marry a rich stock broker named Ilirsch. in an interview published before she left she was quoted as having said that h would marry Hirsch as soon as he had made a fortune of 12.000,000. Thts is Yvette's own statement of the situation: I never expect to marry Mr. Ilirsoh or anybody else, and shall I tell you why?" she asked with a smile which plainly showed that nhe knew how calm and splendidly egotistical ber next speech ws to be. "Because I never expect to find a man good enough for me. If I ever did marry, I should want a man who was my superior in every quality. lie would have to Le superior ta me in strength, mind, imagination, letrnlng and I don't believe that I could And that man. I would never remain on ths stage after I had married, and there is no person for whom it would be worth while for me to give up so much. No, I shall never marry. I have no doubts on that point. I know the cleverest men in Paris, and can find enough in their society. A good-looking man Is tolerable. Beauty plays no role in a man's attractiveness. I never liked one. and turn away on the street if I see one coming." "What are your opinions on marriage and divorce for other people?" asked the reporter. I should make this observation on the subject for everybody; Marriage never, divorce always. Divorce would be the one perfect human institution If it were not so closely connected with matrimony." "What do you think of American women?" "They are charming. JAKe tie French, not the English. They have the trulv feminine quality that appeals to one, and while they may not be so regularly beautiful a-n the English women, they are rpore attractive.- and they dress better. They look like Parisians." "What do you think of your audiences?" I can hardly keep my face straight when they laugh at tho wrong time, and they do It continually. In the middle of the most rathetlo parts of Ia oularde and 'La Piprreusc' they giggle. The other night, in naire oe n iine," they were laughing i ii a inouRn me song were one or the funniest in my repertory. It's one of the most sexious. There's one song which they never make any mistake over. That's 'Ca Fait Toujour Plalsir and the tuno is so lively that there can't be any mistake made about it. They can lauch richt through that and It's all right. The finesse or my art lies in the fact that I am alwavs lU'et and delicate. Here I have to exagKcrme pveryininu to maKe any Impression at all. Hut I suppose that's always necessary when one Is playing in a foreign language." "Why have you never acted In comedy?" "because I am unique In a peculiar field. Nobody dispute .my position. . I have seen women make successes In comedy who could not act any more than that chair there. Possibly I would be taking a risk lr i attempted to play in cor;edv. although I have not the least intention of undertake ing it. sardou and Meiihac both offered to write plays for me. Catulle Mendls told me J wa a born tragedienne. Which of these was right? I prefer anyhow to remain ab fcoltely unique, besides that the French people will not allow rne to change myself to the slightest extent. If I should change tne coior or my nair now. after the fashion of my costumes, and leave off my long gloves they would say, 'No! no! That is not lvette. I must remain always the same Yvette red-headed, black-gloved and with my low-cut bail gowns. If I want to keep m tne anrections or Fans and I do. I am a queen there, in my own way. Everybody knows my face, and when I go out half the time l carry no money with me. Then, if I want any, I tell my coachman to drive to a shop and I go in and get as much money I need. Sometimes I offer my card, out tney always know me. So am never going to do anything which will loso ror me my place in the hearts of the Paris ians." "What sort of impression do you expect to make cn your time?" "I represent to young France the spirit or me end or tne century. My picture has been put in the Lycee at Paris alongside Rachel's. I shall always be looked uoon In French art as having been the typical figure f my day. Rachel represented its earlier periods. I represent the France of the last years of the century. Its attitude, its phll oiophy. Its life, as these things can be ex pressed In art." "What do you think has been the secret of your success V "I attribute It to my voice. Verdi to!d m that I possessed rnoro than anybody else he had ever heard sing the highest art or tne ringer, mat u the power of cultl vating the voice to express th feelings of the lines, tho sentiment of the song. SalntKaens. Gounod and Theme have told me the same thing. It's especially interesting because I haven't any voice to speak or ana never $tuaiea music. "Are you coming to AmerlcRgaln?" "Yes. but not to a music hall. I shall take my own company and sing in the theaters. It seems to be Impossible over here for anybody to realize that a woman who sings In a music hall can be an artist and a woman of the world who has associated with the brightest people in Europe. They think that I ought to come down to the theater In a cable car and when I am thrcugh get a car and go home." These opinions of Yvette's. like the ex rressions of some other celebrities when they are In tyre, sound as If she might have a high opinion of hrself. This im pression is not due to the type. She has. The Tuber To-XIht. The Tabers have selected as their opening bill at the Grand to-night the play which has done more to build up Mrs. Taber's artistic reputation than any other. The lovable, girlish Impersonation of Juliet in "Romeo and Juliet" is generally conceded her best. Mr. Tabcr, however, has hardly done his bent work In the character of Homeo. To-morrow nlht "The J lunchtack" will be given and on Wednesday n!ht "As Ycu Like It." Their new production of "Henry XV" will be presented Thursday ani FrlJay night., with special scenery r.nd costumes. The matinee 1)111 will be "Th Lady of Lyons" orvl for Satjrdav nijht "Twelfth Night." The Tabers have made rom chango in their company since la3t seen here and the support la said to bo adfouatn to the pretensions of the several productions'. ote of the Stag. Musical people are looking forward with no little pleasure to tho lectures of Dam-

TWENTY-FIVE TALKS ROL1I.NO TEMPERANCE MEETING AT MASOMC HALL. LAST NIGHT. Concluding Affair of the Serlew Under the Auspices of the Knights of Father Slathevr. The seventh and conclullng temperance entertainment of the series given under the auspices of the Knights of Father Mathew took place at Masonic Hall last night. The seating capactiy of the hall was taxed and the crowd was co largo that a great many people stood up, and others, not being able to get seats, returned to their homes. Nearly every prominent temperance orator in the city was present. A number of the members of the Murphy League sat on the stage with the orators. Large portraits of the late Father Mathew and Itev. Father Bessonles occupied easels on the stage. The portrait of Father Bessonles was framed in by the American flag and tho good priest sat near it. P. J. Kelleher presided over the meeting. Besides the speeches there was entertainment by tho Regal trioMisses Alice Halpin, Jennie Briggs and Mr. George V. Hess; zither and guitar music by Fremont Frey and Willis Scudder and quartets and eolos by other artists. Twenty-five men made brief but eloquent temperance speeches during tho evening. One of the most earnest appeals for the cause was by Mrs. Lena Beck, of Bloomington, Ind. She brought the greetings of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of her city. Mrs. Beck paid a high tribute to the holy life of Father Mathew, who organized a temperance crusade and died with the knowledge that over two million men and women had eigned his pledge and wore his badge. Mrs. Beck saw In the women of the country the salvation of the men. "The secret of this temperance work lies with our girls," she said. "They have It in . their power to purify the lives of the men, and we mothers believe they will do it." Mrs. Beck illustrated her Interesting .talk, with word pictures that were plain and each held its lesson. Col. Ell Bitter,, in a five minutes speech, told of the temperance work here In Indianapolis. He said that every man in the Murphy, League was a mtmber of a life-saving crew whose duty it Is to save those who are sinking to the depths of intemperance. Rev. Father Gavlsk. of St. John's Church, talked of the earnest work which the Knights of Father Mathew have taken up. Ho spoke of the devastation made by strong drink and the awful effects of liquor on the intellect. "God has given man reason," he said, "and when man deprives himself of that reason he is guilty of a sin." Luther Benson delivered a five minutes speech. The good that tho Knights of Father Mathew have done and will do he said, will never go out with time. The best time in the world to save a drunkard is when he first begins to drink. Statistics show that one drinking man in every thousand quit). "If you ever do save a drunkard," cried the speaker in his thrilling voice, "it will be with love, with charity, with patlenco and with kindness. Never Fay that a man 'won't stick. Let us make thia our motto: 'Live to do good that wo may die to be missed. " Rev. Father Iiessolnes, much of whose life work has been in the interest of tho temperance cause, received an ovation when he stepped to tho front or tne platform. Ho talked but a few minutes, but nearly every sentence he uttered was punctuated with aprlause. He advocated the building and loan association as the sareguaru against the saloon. He believed that the savings invested weeKiy in tnese associations were the means of saving many men from drink. Other speeches were made by Itev. Mr. Rondthaler, Dev. Mr. 'arstensen. George L. Knox, Kamuel Johnston. P. T. McWhirter, Joseph Tagsart, Frank McGinnif and President Cleveland, of the Murphy Lieague. WILL STAND BY HARDIN. The Diamond Robber's Wife Denies Storlca of Mistreatment. Mrs. Annie Adorns, as she calls herself. wife of Charles A. Ketchum, alias C. A. Hardin, arrested here for stealing a tray of diamonds, refused yesterday to discuss her past life. She aald, however, that the sto ries told by Chicago detectives as to her husband having abused her are groundless She tays they (have always lived happily to gether, and she married hJn for better or worse and means to stand by him. When it was suggested to her she would not have been arrested if her husband had not piloted the officers to her room she replied that was true, but if ho had not gone to her she would have followed him to the station house. As to whether che had visited the Pinkertons, she aid that she preferred to say nothing. "I have never admitted being a shop-lifter. If I were to say I went to see them, that would bo an admission that I am dishonest. I prefer to nay nothing of the past. This Is dreaarui. it is awrui io ds nere in jan among strangers and with no friends near." She refused to say whether tne stones published as to her husband's record are cor reel- "I don't want to appear discour teous, said she, "but I must refuse to talk about our case. Mrs. Adams is a very in telligent woman and has apparently been very attractive, although her face Is considerably disfigured by a burn. She said they havo no children living, but refused to say whose children the photographs found in her trunk were taken from. Mrs. Adams said the police had treated her very kindly, especially Superintendent coiDsrt. ECCLESIASTICAL HOME. An Aliraya Present Influence That Given the City Its Importance. Marion Crawford, in the Century. Kcclcslastlc Rome Is tho stronghold of a most tremendous fact, from whatever point of view Christianity miy be considered. If one could, in Imagination, detach the head of the Catholic Church from the church, one would be, obliged to admit that no single living man possesses tho farreaching, and lasting power which In each succeeding papal reign belongs to the Pope. Behind the I'cpe stands the fact which con fers, maintains and extends that power from century to century a power which is one of the hurest elements of the world's moral acitvlty, both in Its own di rect action and in the counteraction and antagonism which It calls forth continually It Is the all-pervaiing presence of this greatest fact, literally, in Christendom which has carried on Rome's importance from the days of the Caesara, across the chasm of the dark ages, to the days of the modem Pones, and it is this really enor mous Importance which continually throws forward into cruel relief the puerilities am1 Inanities of the dally outward world. It is the consciousness of that importance which makes old Roman society what it is. with its virtues, its re-. its prejuiices and its strange, old-fashioned, closeftsted kindliness, which makes the contrast between the Saturnalia of throve Tuesday niht and the cross signed with ashes upon the forehead on Ash Wednesday morning, between the careless lauqhter of tho Roman beauty in carnival, and the tragic earnestness of the same lovely face when the great lady knoels in Lent before the confessional to receive upon her bent hend the liht ouch of the penitentiary's wand, taking her turn perhaps, with a score of women of the peoX!e. It is the knowledge of an always present power, active throughout the whole world, which throws deep, straight shaJow. as it were, through the Roman character. Just as In certain ancient families there is a secret that makes grave the lives of those who know it. Ail Hits set by experts. Jno. M. Lilly.

RAILROAD SHOPS BUSY

THE YEAR 1S0S WAS A DAXXER OXE I. INDIANAPOLIS. Packing llonsea Doing "WellHow the Lnamlrr Business lias Crown With the Millers. ?ot in many years, takln? the entire twelve months, have the local railroad shops been busier than in 1S3C. At the Brlghtwood shops a number of practically new engines were turned out : and a large number of cars, both for freight and passenger service, were rebuilt- at the sffiops, and those of the Big Four at Dillon street. Five hundred and fifty men were employed most of the year full time. At the Panhandle shop3, 450 men have been employed most of the time, and the shops have made an average of five days and a half a week, mostly on repair of locomotives and cars. So heavy has business been on the Panhandle lines that an unusual amount of work has been done in 1895 in the way of repairs. At the P. & E. thops. West Side, about seventy men have been employed. largely on repair work; at the Indianapolis, Decatur & Western shops, most of the time 100 men were employed, doing their own repair work and rebuilding three of the I., D. &. W. locomotives. Several engines of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Day ton were rebuilt there. The Belt road shops kept about thirty men busy during ths year. Beside general repair work two of their engines were thoroughly rebuilt. It 13 stated that more money was paid out at the local shops in 18DG than in any year since 1S32. Growth of Laundry Dnslness. Seldom is anything said about the development of the laundry business at Indianapolis and a history of growth since the first steam laundry was established will be read with interest. The first steam laundry was the Excelsior, established by Major Taylor in 1S78. Previous to that year all the persons who wanted their laundry work done in the best style were compelled to send it to Troy, N. Y., and it was two or three years before many could become convinced that Just as good laundry work was dono in Indianapolis as in Troy, N. Y. The express companies were making a good thing out of it and employes of the express companies encouraged the belief that work done by Indianapolis laundries was Inferior. The second steam laundry was established in 1S80 by W. M. B,eed, who died soma years ago and who for some years was a sharp rival of Major Taylor, which tended to Improve tho work of both. as each invested money liberally in their plants, purchaamng the latest machinery for doing good work. To-day Indianapolis has thirteen steam laundries of different grades and capacity, none inferior plants. The year around these thirteen laundries give employment to 350 people and in the busier season to four hundred or more, ana of that number fully 90 per cent are women. It is stated that fully $100,000 is now invested in laundry plants In this city. The business of these laundries is by no means confined to Indianapolis, as there Is not an Important city or town in the State that laundry work Is not done for and some work is sent to cities and towns of ad joining States. A large amount of work is done for manufacturers of shirts. One establishment in Richmond last week contracted with one of the Indianapolis laun dries to do up one thousand dozen of colored shirts. There is no laundry work which cannot be done a well to-day In Indianapolis as In any plaeo In this country. The work done by Indianapolis laundries has an excellent reputation at home and at a distance. - At each laundry from ten thousand to twenty-five thousand pieces are laundried weekly. The weekly puy rolls are about $2,60 or about .V) per cent, of the gros receipts. The business is not now as profitable as a few years ago, as prices are lower and help more expensive. Then it requires fifty or more wagons to gather up tho laundry work and return It to the owner. Originally everybody brought in their laundry and then came after - it. More attention is clven to sanitary arrangements. Several of the laundries have the best ventilated, best lighted and most comfortable temperatured rooms to be found In any line of business, consequently the work Is vry appropriate for women and the women employed make better wagea than they could at other occupa tions. A Ttnl Tear for Local Millers. Not in many years havo the millers experienced so bad a year of business as in 1833, the several mills turning out but 541,501 barrels of flour, against CW.09C in JS9I, against 670,106 in 1S03. and agulnst 638,543 barrels in 1S92. During the entire year it was quite difficult to get wheat In quantities desired and when the millers did get lv prlcea wero relatively higher than was flour, and during the year the mills did not run to more than two-thirds their largest capacity. The early part of tho year ex port demand was light, but improved after Julv 1 somewhat. At no time wan it at its maximum In demand. Domestic trade was about aa usual, but low prices prevailed. The last three months a large per cent, of the wheat used has been purchased in ChU cago and shipped here, and the outlook for the next six months or until the wheat crop of 183 comes on tne marnet, is not very promising. The rackers Are Ilasy. Since Nov. 1, the beginning of the win ter packing season at Indiaapolif packing houses, there have been killed 218,000 hogs, against 191,000 In the - corresponding two months of 1894. At the twenty-two packing points which report there wero killed 3,920.000 hogs, against 3,890.000 in 1S31, Indianapolis and Chicago were the only points where more hogs were killed in November and December than in the corresponding period of 1894. Indianapolis now ranks as the fourth packing point in number of (hogs killed, Cincinnati having taken the fifth place. Docal packers say that the quality of the hoes killed this season has been the best lh several years, the nogs being better fatted and healthier than usual. .Shipments have fallen off somewhat, but next week will likely pecome neavy again, as It Is said there is a large number of hogs yet to be marketed. Where the Flonr Goes. In the year 1SS5 parrott & Taggart con verted 37,560 barrel of flour into bread, crackers and cakes. During the year the establishment employed the largest number of neople since it has been in operation. and turned out the largest quantity of articles tne establishment manufactures.

West cott, among the most prominent people of the city, to Mr. Roland De Weese, of Dayton, O., has been announced. The wedding will probably occur In February. Hooker linn Xnthlnir to Say. Alonzo Rocker will be placed on trial for the murder of his wife Maggie In the Crim inal Court this morning. Since the tragedy Hooker has steadily refused to discuss the affair. Yesterday he was found pacing rapidly to and fro in his cell. For tho most part, he had been morose and Inclined to quietude, but yesterday he appeared considerably excited. He refusM to uiscusa the killing and said he had no recollection of how it occurred or of the trouble leading to it. "i have no state. menta to make to reporters," said he. "I don't know anthlng about the trouble. I

may have something to say to you later on. but I don't care to say anything now." Hooker's attorneys, it Is understood, will set up the plea of temporary aberration of

mind as grounds ror his- acqulttaL Alter declining to say anything. Hooker said he was not excited or anxious as to the outcome of the trial and believed he would be acquitted. He did not know what defense his attorneys would make, he said. THE INSTRUCTIONS A BLUFF. Some of the Down-Town Saloons Even llntl the Front Doors Open. Saturday night Superintendent Colbert called attention to the instructions to patrol men to watch saloons yesterday and make reports of all violations or attempted viola tions of the liquor laws observed by them. The superintendent was not at roll call last night, and It could not be learned what the reports from tho patrolmen disclosed. Up to 11 o'clock last night, however, no arrests for violations of the law had been made. A trip through the down-town district yesterday showed that liquor was being sold In at least thirteen places, all within less than half a dozen blocks from police headquarters. Between the Park Theater and Illinois street three saloons did a big business, customers being admitted to one through the front door. At another, en trance is gained iroro ine aiiey, customers il r ir fx-imnollori t r wn c t h Tni l eVi the I ) 1 1 - Hard room in the rear to the front bar. In these three places aDout twenty-uve people were being served shortly alter dark. At John Huegele s saloon and restaurant, customers were ad mitted througu tne rront door, "ine Dar occupies the front end of the room, the rodtanrant hln locatp.1 4n the rear. A large blue curtain, reaching from the floor to the celling, was siretcneu across ine room Immediately back of the bar yesterday. A policeman walking in through the open door must have noticed this circum stance. Customers were served in tne resimirant Khln.l the curtain, tha beer and liquors being carried from the bar. At Monnlngers place, corner or Illinois ana Ohio streets, the curtains of the windows were all down, ani on looking into the room it was -noticed a large curtain shut one corner of the room off from view. The curtain la never eeen hanging there on week-days. Men desiring to get into this saloon entered tne side waiv next ine livorv ctnhlo nnd walked through a hall to a door that opened into the corner of the large bar-room, behind the curtain.

At Orstendorfs, on North Illinois street, the usual signs were observed. A light was burning in the back yard last night and men were seen going in and out. On Massachusetts avenue, above the headquarters' of the fire department, one saloon was entered through tlie back door.

NO OFFICIAL ASTROLOGER. JIayor Tngrsrart Soya He Will Wot Cre ate This Ofttce. Mayor Taggart said last night, In response to a Journal reporter's query, that no offi cial astrologer has been appointed for the city administration; at least, one is not yet on the pay roll, neither has one passed the civil service examination. An interview with an astrologer was printed yesterday in which the Boothsayer Is quoted as having said, among other things, that Mayor Taggart will be the next Governor-of Indiana Mr, Tuggart was asked about the matter last night and made tho statement as given above. Ho did not seem particularly put out by the fact that an astrologer should have made this prediction, but said he did not see how, under! the charter, he. could create the office ofastrologer to the admin istration. He was asked what effect the ordlnanco that Superintendent Colbert is so anxious to have passed, licensing fortune-tellers. would have on the office of official astrol oger. This seemed to be a poser to him. Ho did not say so in as many words, but seemed to think there might be something incompatible in having an official astrologer and then placing a prohibitory license on rorrunc tellers. Tho exact position of the official star gazer has not yet been determined, but this official may examine tho stars to decide whether the improvements) this year shall bo confined to the original mile square or will extend to the outlying districts. As there are no stars that Rovern street improvements, thosH controling elections may be Drought into play, and if the indlcat ons are that the Democratic party can be suc cessful without confining the Improvements to the mile square, the poor man on North Delaware street may be called upon to nay improvement awsessm'ents. Then again, the astraloger will be useful In determining how much new fire apparatus is needed and where It should be located. This appoint ment will also make a savlne for Hunerln tenuent uoibert. ho can simply call on the official astrologer when he wants to locate stolen properly and will not be compelled to pay 53 to a fortune teller. PROTECTION OF LIVE STOCK. Sogaentlons Which Farmers Will Find Iscfnl anil Valuable, Tha appended bulletin on winter protec Hon of live stock, has been Issued by the officers of the experiment station of Purdue University: A common winter sight is a herd of cattle exposed to severest kind of weather, browsing in corn fields or standing humped up' in chilling winds. Food Is fuel to the animal body. It requires more fuel to keep up steam In a boiler when the weather Is Intensely cold than it does when it is mild. In the same manner, other things being equal. It re quires more foci to sustain an animal freely exposed to the chilling blasts of win tr than it dees for one given protection. In experiments conducted at the Indiana Agricultural Experiment Station. milch cows exposed to all sorts of weather In winter, but provided with night shelter, made a very unfavorable showing as com Tared with these given the shelter of the stable, except for a brief airing when the weather was suitable. The exposed cows ate the most food, lost slightly In weight and also In milk yield. The sheltered ones gained in weight and otherwise made a bet ter showing than the exposed lot. At the Kansas Kxperlment Station. hos8 kept In condition cf winter ext osure did not produce pork so economically as those given reasonable shelter, although the same kind of fcod was id to each Jot. In reporting the feeding experiments with steers at the same station. Prof. GeorgeBon says that steer3 givd the best returns when being fed fcr beef shoull be provided with shelter. Warm, low. cpen shfds In the feed lot give eorr.fortable shelt r to steers. While live stock should be protected from Inclemency of the weather. It is Important that the stable should be well ventilated and not too warm. Disease propagates-easiest where the air is stagnant and Impure, hence special efforts should be made to keep the stable air pure. Without doubt, tuberculosis is mare prevalent among cattle closely confined In stables where the ventilation is bad, than where the air Is gcod. Live stock should certainly be a'lowad out door exercise when, the weather Is mild and comfortable, but If it snows or rains and the sir is chilling, the animals should be given stable protection. It Is also important that the stable should not b? too warm in winter. A temperature of 40 degrees is a very satisfactory one. When It is as high as CO degrees In a barn tock turned from this Into a freezing atmosphere to water are very apt to be severely chilled and take ecld. When the stable Is at 40 degrees animals are not so easily chilled when turned from the stable. Every stable should have a thermometer to guide one in. keeping the temperature of the room as uniform as possible. CITY NEWS NOTES. Dr. John J.

Fears of Xatural Gas Companies. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WABASH, Ind., Jan. 5. Some of the nat ural gas companies in counties east of here in the Indiana natural gas field are trying to put a check on Indiscriminate prospect ing for Oil In that locality. They allege that many wells 4iave been sunk in search of oil and when nitro glycerine was ex ploded in them the Trenton limestone was so broken up that , oil and salt water have driven the gas out of considerable areas of gas territory. In some districts farmers aro being urged not to lease their lands for oil to any parties under any circum stances on the ground that the gas supply Is in danger of being reduced if not de stroyed by oil drilling. Another oil gusher, the furthest west of any well In tho Huntington county terri tory, was drilled in on the Harrison Myers farm, in Jefferson township, Huntington county. It is now producing about two hundred barrels per day and there Is much excitement In the neighborhood over the strike. This Is taken to indicate that the oil field in Indiana Is gradually extending westward and the people or Larontaine, this county, are greatly elated over the prospect of discovering oil in that locality, about ten miles west 'of the Myers well. The new gusher Is owned by John Ruggles. of Mt. Etna, and Jacob Dick and Lewis Bush, of Huntington. WABASH IS FORTUNATE. So Shortage of tinn Dnrlng the Zerq Spell of Weather.

She had tho greatest confidence in her husband, and as she considered the probability of a burglar she thought of fcxr husband's conduct at one time previous under similar circumstances. Finally she did hear a noise at one of the parlor windows tho oae nearest the front steps. Then steps, more and more distinct, across the parlor lloor. The young woman sat straight up in her bed to determine Just what her husband would have done at such a time. Then she started for the top of the stairs, end a moment later called out an gruldy as the could: "Who in the h 1 Is down thereT' to which an answer.
