Several hundred z citizens gathered to hear the address. The ' meeting was a grand one. and after it was over a large crowd got on the train and went to Kokomo. State Line Rally. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CO Li LEGE CORNER, O., Oct. 3. This little city, in two States and' three counties, entertained the largest turnout of Republicans at any meeting yet held in this part of the State. The day was warm and pleasant and the delegations from Liberty, Eaton, Brookville, Oxford and Hamilton arrived early in the morning and made a great parade through the streets. The tpeaking began at 10 o'clock and was continued in the afternoon and evening. Hon. James E., Watson, the eloquent Congressman fromthe Fourth Indiana, district, was the principal orator of the day, together with Hon. John A.' Caldwell, Mayor of Cincinnati, and Hon. Robert M. Kevin, of Dayton, candidate for Congresa on the Ohio side. The crowd was immense, some plac- , ing it at lO.OuO. The speaking was held in Stephenson's beautiful grove, where the , people were packed closely and listened in-, tently to sound money and protection. Fands, drum corps and glee clubs were out, and the gathering, for enthusiasm, rivaled any irreeting ever he'd here. The rival free- " silver rally at Liberty was a tame and small affair compared to this monster demonstration. The night meeting was almost as large as the one held during the day. Owen's Crowd Vah the Largest. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MARTINSVILLE, Ind., Oct. 3. This has been a banner day for the Republicans of Morgary county.

Delegations with drum- , corps-attachments arrived from all parts of the county, accompanied by the best giee clubs ever heard here. The Democrats held a counter attraction on the south side of the courthouse yard, using Alba Heywood, the comedian and facial contortionist, to interest the crowd. He was moderately successful in this only. It was perfectly apparent at all times during the speaking that the Republicans had the best of the occasion in point of attendance and enthusiasm. There was much evidence of rivalry and excitement. Mr. Owen was carefully listened to and made a most favorable impression on his hearers by his argument tor a gold standard and protection. The meeting was attended by twice as many peop.e as at any previous meeting this campaign. ( ' UlK' Barbecue Tuesday. Special to tho Indianapolis Journal. GREENFIELD, Ind., Oct. 3.

WILL LET THE AEGItOES VOTE. Mayor Bonie Explains the Situation in Southern Lonisianu. Kansas City Star. Mayor G. M. Bowie, of Whitecastle, south Louisiana, is at the Coates to-day. He is the only member of the famous Bowie family now living in Louisiana. The old Bowie homestead is within ten miles of Whitecastle. The mansion is now in ruins. Mayor Bowie, when a young man, resembled the redoubtable Col. Jim Bowie, who carried his ''Bowie knife" in his neckband, so closely that in Texas and Louisiana he was freauently accosted as Mr. Bowie by strangers who had never seen him before. The modern representative of the famous and historic Southern family of the romantic days of the "Bowie knife" told a story that sounds strange to Northern ears. "Major McKinley," says Mayor Bowie, "has as much cnance to carry Louisiana as Mr. . Bryan. The wealthiest and most important part of the State is the southern. It is overwhelmingly for McKinley. -North Louisiana is equally redhot for Bryan and free coinage." "Are you a Republican, Mr. Bowie?" "I am," he replied. "Along with thousands of Democrats in south Louisiana. I changed my politics a few years ago. We consider that the old Republican and Democratic party lines Have been wiped out. NTo use the words of one of my friends down there in a po itical meeting: " 'There is no Republican party and no Democratic party. Our interests and sympathies are with the organization that is now galled the Republican party. We are Republicans.' " Mayor Bowie became frank. "It is our bread and butter," he said. "We are protectionists, our prosperity is bound up with protection, and we have to be Republicans or vote against ourselves." "How about the negro vote?" The Mayor's eyes twinkled. , "Well." said he. "up north, in the freesilver district, they will vote, but their votes won't be counted. In the south they will vote, and you can bet upon it every vote will be counted. I have four hundred men working for me in my cypress lumber mills. Most of them are negroes. "I notified them some time ago." added the Mayor, significantly, "that I would be a judge of election. "There's no use talking," Mavor Bowie continued, "the South is taking care of her negro problem in the same way as the North would" under the same circumstances. We can't let the negroes- be judges and sheriffs and county officers. If their votes were allowed to be counted that would be the result. Yet we want them. I would fight rather than have our negroes taken from us. In my mi. Is they are my best workmen. The negro is a specialist. Just like the mule. If he irf broken to do a certain piece of work he will beat a white man doing it. They work hard, are strong as mules, and. if tirmly dealt with, are food citizens. In my town they are all employed. They earn $1.25 a day, and when you meet one on the road he will politely tip his hat. "When a negro gets bad there is no use locking him up. He takes It as a joke. But when taken out at night and given a dose of b'acksnake whip he turns over a new leaf and becomes a good citizen. "A great and serious problem," said Mayor Bowie, "is the 'Dago.' as they are called down there. The "Dagoes' are Sicilians. They are coming to Louisiana in gwarrns. Clannish and utterly without any comprehension of law and order, they commit crimes and then swear to alibis in Hocks, so that no one can be legally convicted. , In cases where one 'Dago' shoots another, the dying man will claim that he did it himself accidentallv. What can we do? Our young men are beginning to simply lynch them right and left. International complications will result, but we can't help it. "We have settled the negro problem our negroes are now industrious and law-abidingbut we can do nothing with these Mafia fellows except lynch them. Do they vate? Well, they vote as many times as you will let them. They have a mania for 'voting. " , ''However, that does not trouble ua down la south Louisiana." .

The revenue cutter Hamilton followed the Laurada down the Delaware river and put into the breakwater, at 7 o'clock to-night. She 'Hollered" Just tlie Same. , New York Evening Sun. As eveybody knows, the Christian Scientist is an individual impervious to pain. When she has toothache, or sore throat, or a sprained ankle, as the case may be, she doesn't call these ailments by their longtstabMshed names. They are simpiy "error5 in the throat, the ankle cr the tooth, as the case may be. Nothing apparently can convince her of the contrary. Still there are times when the "imperviousness" is just a little less, comprehensible than at others. For instance, a weil-known dentist of this city says that an equally wellknown Christian Scientist came to hits the other day with what, to,, all appearances, was a painful toothache. He face was swollen, her jaw inflamed, and. upon examination, the tooth proved, to be badly decayed. "Madam," satd the dentist, "you must have suflered very much, " ; "Oh, nn at all," Interrupted the Scientist. "It's
merely a ; little dentals error, you know,, that's all. 4t hasn't hurt me one mite." "Well, raadam.'.resHwned the dentist, "it will probably hurt you very much, indeed, to have the tooth pulled, but that is what 1 should advise you to do, and at once." "'Oh. of course,", said th Scientist, "pull It right off . -if you advice Uf Ae for Its hurting me, it can'trVdirTKnow. Nothing can hurt a Scientist. We are impervious to Min."- Thus encouraged, the dentist seized
f his forceps and set to work. "But heavens!" he" said in recounting the Incident later. "Such yells as the woman let forth! You might have supposed her head was coming eff, at least. I never heard a patient make rrtre nofse, and coming from one who was impervious to pain, .it, was the, more remarkable.1 But what was' sfill more remarkable, after it was all over and the jeHs had subsided, the womain had the face to observe placidly. Yqu see. you were mistaken. 1 am impers-fous to ptiin and It really didn't hurt nij" on mite not one mite. " A J rFLORIDA ASKS -FOR AID. Many People Ha-ve Been Made Destitute ly the Reeent Hurricane. JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Oct. 3. No Important additions to the list of deaths in Florida from the hurricane are reported to-day. In ninety-one towns so far heard from the killed number seventy and the injured 164. The destruction, of property is altogther beyond estimate. The belt of country that was devastated, extending across the State from Cedar Keys, on the Gulf of Mexico, to.the St. Mary's river, is about 110 miles long by twenty miles wide on the gulf and sixty miles wide on the Georgia boundary. On a, large part of this area most of the buildings were destroyed and the people are shelterless and on the verge of starvation. Measures have been taken In various places to organize relief committees, and appeals for aid will be sent out to the people of the United States. At a public meeting in Gainesville $250 was subscribed and a resolution was -passed calling for help from the State treasury. Similar action, is reported at Bronson, MaeClenny and other places. In this city a call has been issued for a meeting on Monday to adopt relief measures. The call is signed by Mayor Bostwick, D. G, Ambler, gold-standard Democratic candidate for Congress; Collector Wilson and other leading citizens. Thousands of people resided in the devastated region, and it will require a greater amount that the State can raise to feed them all, to say nothing of helping them to erect houses. & l SECURED NO MONEY. The Conductor's Story of the Attempt to Hob u Train in New Mexico. ALBUQUERQUE, Nf. ; M., Oct. 3. Conductor Samuel Heady, of the "held-up" passenger train -from fthe ' west, tells the following story of the affair: "When the train reached the Rio Puerco water tank engineer Ross said a pin in the engine was out of gear, but he thought he could go up the divide. The conductor thought not, and just ae the engineer was about to fix the pin three masked - men jumped on the engine.. Then the shooting commenced. A lantern was shot out of the hands of the brakeman, after which the engineer was told to uncouple the engine and express car from the train. Deputy United States Marshal Loomis. who has been down in Arizona on the trail of southern New Mexico bandits, was on his return to this city. He left the smoking car when the first shot was fired and took. deliberate aim at one of the robbers,, shoot ing him through the head. The man' ran tor a hundred yards and dropped dead. The other robbers retreated to the Malpais, where their voices calling for their comrades could be heard." Conductor Heady states that Loomis remained behind, as he expected the robbers to return for their dead companion, while Selvy met the posse of officers at the Atlantic & Pacific junction and returned with the party to Rio Puerco. The hold-up was a failure financially, the robbers securing no money. It is thought the bandits are members of the same gang that robbed the Separ pc-stofnee a few weeks ago and have been terrorizing the southern part of New Mexico, and that the man who was killed, and whose name was Young, was the leader. - - . .

MACHINERY VS. - MUSCULAR POWER. I r . Man's Efforts Puny . Compared tvlth the Results of MeelianUm. Cassier's Magazine. , Speaking of prime movers before the Association for the Advancement of Science, at London severpi years ago, Sir Frederick Bramwell drew an interesting picture of the puny thing that muscular power, whether animal or human, really was when compared with the vast efforts exerted nowadays by machinery. . Contrasting a galley, for example a vessel propelled by oars with a modern Atlantic liner and assuming that prims movers were nonexlstant and that this vessel was to be propelled after galley fashion, he proceeded tlics: Take the' length of the vessel at 600 feet, and assume that place could be found for as many as 400 oars on each side, each oar worked by three men. or 2.400 men, and allow that six men under these conditions could develop work equal to one horse power. We should then have. 400 horse power. Double the number of men and we should have 800 horse power, with 4,800 men at work, and at least the same number in reserve if the journey is to be carried on continuously. Contrast the puny results thus obtained with 19,500 horse power given forth by a large prime mover of the present day, such a power requiring, on the above mode of calculation, 117.000 men at work and 117,000 in reserve, and these to be carried in a vessel less than 600 feet in length. Even if It were possible to carry this number of men in such a vessel, by no conceivable means could their power be utiized so as to impart to it a peed of twenty knots an hour. This illustrates how- a prime mover may noUonlv be a mere substitute for muscu'ar work, 'but may afford the means of attaining an end that could not by any possibility be attained by muscular exertion, no matter what money was expended or what galley slave suffering Jiwas Inflicted. Take aerain the case of & -railroad locomotive, in which we have 'from 400 to 609 horse power developed in an implement which, even including its tender, does n5t occupy an area of more than fifty square yards and that can draw us at sixty miles an hour. Here again the prime mover succeeds in doing that which no expenditure of money or of life could enable us to obtain from muscular effort. ' - " Hayes's Hobby. ' Akron (O.) Journal.

WASTES OF A GREAT CITY
THE DISPOSAL OF OARDAGU A VERY PROFITABLE BUSINESS. Nothing' Really Allowed to Go tc Waste, but Everything: Utilised in Some Way Handling; Rubbish.
New York Times. Some peculiar items if revenue have, accrued to the city of New . York through other channels than the tax collector's office, but none more so than the receipts from the sale of "scow-trimming" prlvi-. leges an item, by the way, which will cease scon to be reported. ' Formerly these scow trimmers received wages from the city; , but after a while there were men . asking to be allowed to do the work without pay, when the fact was revealed that there had been occasional valuable "finds" in the contents of ash cans and garbage barrels. It was but a step farther when the city began to receive a bonus for the trimming privileges, In addition to having much necessary work performed free. A city official stated publicly a year or two ago that the value of the labor thus secured was $30,000 a year, and that the cash income amounted to $90,000. The business is about to come to an end, however, for the reason that the contents of the garbage cans will belong to the contractors, who are now erecting works on Barren island for the reduction of the garbage into commercially valuable products grease ind materials for fertilizers. The well regulated scow trimmer allows nothing to escape his practiced eye that is salable at any price, for any purpose. His activity is an effective answer to the charge that we are a .wasteful people in our domestic economy. Can we be lacking in economy when millions of beer and soda bottles, and even milk bottles, are recovered yearly from the garbage dumps and returnedfor a price to the owners whose names are blown in the glass, to be used again? The oftener such bottles can be reused, the greater the profits , of the bottlers, and this is true of the rubber stoppers on beer .bottles as Well as of the glass. Bottles not marked with the name of the owner the scow trimmer is free- to dispose of at his pleasure, and not one of these is wasted. Prescription bottles cast into garbage recertacles on Fifth avenue find their way into east side apothecaries' shops; whisky flasks from any avenue or street may in time return to their last user, via the garbage collector's route; . perfume bottles, pickle bottles, and nursing bottles all figure In the second hand bottle dealer's stock after having been purified from their contact with the refuse from the table, the kitchen and the ash pan. Even the rubber stoppers sometimes used in medicine bottles are washed and' again made marketable. Rags and paper go to the paper manufacturers; old rubber to the concerns which make "reclaimed rubber," bones to fertilizer works, fat to the soapmakers. and the various kinds of metal to the trades haviner use for them. The tin cans, even, have a value. They are' about 97 per cent. Iron, and wnen melted together form the 'cheapest metal in the market. The most extensive use made of them is in the manufacture of sash weights for windows, though sometimes the cans are flattened out and cut into straps for trunkmakers' use. or into the peculiarly shaped metal "ears" with which the corners of book covers are sometimes protected against injury in the mails. SECOND HAND TRADE. Q It is not from the garbage dumps alone that the second-hand trade is enriched with the wastes of the households', hostelries, stores and factories of this great city. There ate the licensed pushcarts, with their jangling bells, to be heard up and down every street in the city, in quest of rubbish which has been considered too valuable for the ash can. , Two hundred such carts are owned in the quarter far up on the east side known as -"Little Italy," and toward the close of the day, as the heads of nearly all the families in that quarter, weary with long tramping behind their carts, slowly wend their wa homeward, turning one after another, as if forming a procession, into One Hundred and Twelfth street, the women of the colony stand in expectant rows on the sidewalks, scarcely able to await a chance to see what has been the day's reward, .Fortunes are still being made in old paper alone, although, on account of the recent competition of wood pulp, prices of paper have declined so that it is no longer wanted at the junkshops. But the immigrant fresh from sunny Italy, without an influential friend here to secure a paying job for him, starts on his own . account by picking up every 'scrap of paper to be seen on the streets. Early in the morning he watches at the front. cf office buildings for the output of paper from the nightly sweepings, and he manages somehow to lili a tiA bag, which he carries on his back to Crosby or to Wooster street, where a compatriot engaged in the paper trade, in a celler will pay him 5 or 10 cents for the lpt. Eventually this paper will find its way to half a dozen different mills, after hiving been assorted into classes and packed into as many different bales. There are a hundred grades of old paper in the market, with varying prices, and as many different kinds of people engaged in the trade. There are wholesale dealers who handle single lots of five hundred tons of old newspapers there's the secret -of large "circulations" and there are small gleaners whose incomes are eked out byrthe sale of the postage stamps saved from the envelopes swept out from business offices. SPECIAL DEALERS. , The gathering of wastes, is still further specialized. For instance, , thre is on the west side of New York an old hat dealer, long established, who doeg a large business. He is not in the trade Which flourishes on the east side, where you can buy at second hand for 25 cents possibly your own last season's hat, handed out one day at vour basement door to .a peripatetic ragman. But he handles hats no longer wearable hats which have been knocked about the streets by horses' hoofs and under carriage wheels, or have lain all winter under the snow beside a New England highwayhats scarcely longer recognized as such, but fit only to be ground up for making shoddy. In this merchant's dingy basement the old hats are received dally by tons, not only from New .York and its vicinity, but from every State in the Union, and a visitor to the place may see a dozen or more men and women seated on the floor in the middle of the" place, pulling out the linings and assorting the hats according to the materials of which they are made, and wearing heavy veils to protect themselves from the clouds of dust which fill the room. The hats, after being assorted, are packed into bales and shipped to the factories. . . Not everything handled in the various branches of trade referred to m this arti-Ie is properly described as waste. The tinsmith who has cuttings left from his work, or the bookbinder with trimmings of margins, or the paper box manufacturer with remnants of cardboard, all carefully go over the scraps and sell them for a consideration. In more than . one dry goods store in New York, where the paper accumulated in the daily sweepings is sold for cash, the receipts amount to more than $l.CO0 a year. Most of tte Li ycle ifcres ustd in this country are buiTt up with cotton fabrics woven on Manhattan, island, and such is the economy practiced at this large factory that all the waste combed from the raw cotton before spinning is carefully saved for .sale to the papermakers. From many of the hotels there is no actual waste. ;.. One house derives a cash income of $2 0)0 a vear from tats sold to a soap factory. One of the most famous hotels In town saves its fats for the manufacture under its own roof of softsoap for its laundry; the steward cf a third hotel provides for his own salary by the sale of stale bread, bottles found in guests rooms, and other materials which under less economical management in former days were regard ed as waste. It has at last been learned that plain ashes, if kept dry and free of garbage, have a value es building material, and they are beginning to be used on a large 7

scale in New York. WHhln a year builders have paid from 50 to 60 cents a load for such ashes in large quantities. The street sweenings have a value for filling in low lands or as a top dressing: for farming lands. ; As the utilization of wastes becomes better systematized, it likewise begins to be carried on under conditions less offensive to the community. The tendencyis in the direction of absolute cleanliness, which cannot be without a beneficial effect, from the standpoints of hygiene and morals. Hence we doubtless shall learn to regard with respect every class of scavenger as a person who is not only engaged in an honest and profitable business, but is adding to the general comfort and rendering our surroundings more beautiful. POLITICAL HEADGEAR. Campaign Hat In a Wonrter nnd a Joy to Those AVho Wear It. Atlanta Journal. The campaign hat is the fad of the hour. It is made for wear in the political parades of all parties. It is this year in red. white and blue the symbols of patriotism but is no respecter of persons. It is made to fit the head without reference to the heart, and the Democrat. Republican or Populist can feel equally at home beneath its shining colors. The styles this year are more picturesque than ever.' In making fur derby or soft hats the fur is 'first brought together as a hat body upon a metal cone about two feet high and having many perforations. This cone 'standing upon its base, is made to revolve slowly within a taller glass box; there is produced from below a constant draft downward through the perforation. The fur of which the hat is to be formed, sheared from tho skin and light and nutry. is fed into the upper part of the chamber, where it floats about in separated fibers and is generally drawn down to the cone. It does' nof go through the perforations, but ledges across them and all over the cone in a uniform thickness. It is a very simple, but a very wonderful operation. The hat body thus formed goes through various processes of shrinking, felting and shaping, until finally it is finished as a smooth, hardfinished derby, or a smooth or rough-finished felt or soft hat. The red-white-arid-blue campaign hat is made of furs dyed in these colors, fed into the cone chamber and mixed on the cone. The finished hat is a soft felt, rough-finished, and more or less of the colored fiber ends free, after the manner of rough-finished soft hats. Aside from tne general design there are especial hats for especial clubs and fact'ons. The Napoleonic is a hat designed, of course, for Republicans only. It is a wool soft hat, with the sides turned up In the style of the chapeau worn by Napoleon. It is made with brims in different widths, so that when the sides are turned up there is some variation in the length of the projecting points, one style having longer points, another shorter. It is worn plain or with a badge upon one side or with a narrow ribbon laid diagonWlly across one side. The Napoleonic is made in black, in white and in other colors. There are a gold hat and a silver hat. which are identical in shape. The gold hat is gold-colored and trimmed with a gold cord. The silver hat is gray in color and trimmed with a silver cord. A campaign hat that is intended for everyday use, as well as for wear in political parades, is a smooth-finished felt in the sty'e of a tourist hat, creased on the top The tip or lining is printed with a party device, and the hat is worn with or without a campaign button in the band. MANNERS OF WRENCH CHILDREN. They Lack the Preeoeton Ansnranee of Ameriean Children. Th. Bentzon. in the Century. Physically the French baby resembles the American much more than the English baby. Ours are not magnificent lumps of pink and white flesh dimpled all over, being agile, wideawake and mischievous. They are not as shy as English children: still, thev lack the precocious, assurance of the American child, who is afraid of nothing. No one goes into ecstaeies over them, although, in fact, they are adored; they do not feel that they are the rulers of the household. They soon learn to keep their place, and seem ta understand that though their mama may give herself up to them entirely, they are not equally interesting to the remainder of the world. If called to the drawing room they come In washed and combed. low politely and leave before becoming tiresome. They are not allowed to come to the tab'.e. even in the strictest intimacy, until they can behave proierly, be silent and commit no awkward blunders. They are forblGden to ask for anything, but this does not prevent them from getting whatever they want. It is needless to say that we teach our children not to sop up their sauce with bits cf bread, not to gulp down their soup audibly and not to eat with their knife; but we sneciahy require that they should not leave anything on their plate after having accepted it from the dish. It is not the waste alone; it is the absolute impoliteness of the act, which consists in a guest leaving half (of what he has been hetped to untouched und-r the anxious raze of the hostess, who natura'ly supposes that nothing is to his taste. From the moment our children know how, to handle a knife and fork they are told never to exprtfs an opinion, favorable or the reverse, us to what they are eating and to1 eat everything put before them. The habit clings through life. In general they do not try. to attract attention, do not express opinions, are not as loud and noisy as American children. ' Their sayings, thlr clever tricks are not quoted, and whit ii feared more than all is to make them consider themselves important. Altheugh their health Is carefully watched, yet their g-uardians do not constantly experiment upon them with the newest hygienic methods, instead ol trjr-

Passive obedience Is indispensable without questioning the command, and extreme politeness toward servants is strictly enforced. Needless to say, there are many breaches of the law, but there are also many punishments, which, 1 must admit, they sometimes take with a certain amount of cynicism. Here Is a quite recent example. A young gentleman of five followed his mother, who was looking at an apart-, ment with the view of hiring it. "1 think." said the lay after examination, "that this will suit me." "Oh, no, mama." said the little boy, breaking in, "it's Impossible; there's no dark closet. Where could you put me when I'm naughty?" For Amateur Photographer. Harper's Round Table. ' When printing a vignetted picture. It Is better to print in the shade than in the direct sunlight, as. if printed in the sunlight, the frame must be adjusted so that the light will enter the opening in a straight line. If the frame Is placed la such a position that the rays enter in a slanting direction, the vignetted portion of the picture will not be in the place designed. Instead of pasting tissue paper over the opening, a piece of ground glass 1 can be placed over the cover during thj process of printing. To produce a very soft effect between the picture and the white part of the paper, take a piece of cotton wadding the size of the cover used for vignetting, tear a hole in the wadding a little smaller than that in the cover, and print as directed. Sometimes one has a negative with fins clouds in the sky; but In order to make a print of them the rest of the picture must be masked in some way or else It will be very much overprinted. One way of masking the part which prints too quickly is to cut out of opaque paper a piece which will cover the landscape part, following the outline along the horizon as carefully as possible, and place it over the landscape till the sky is printed: then remove and print the landscape part. Unless this mask is adjusted with the greatest care, there will either be a white, line along the horizon or else a heavy black one, according: whether the paper overlapped or did not quite cover the line. A much easier way to make th two printings is to take a plate-box cover the size of the negative, mark the outline of the horizon on it ard cut away the pasteboard, and print with, this over the negative in the same way as for the vignetting. When the sky Is printed deep enough, remove the cover and print the rest of the picture. The openings for vignetting may be cut in any shape desired oval, pear-shape, round, triangle, etc. In Boston.
