To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Intllanaixlis Is attracting wiuV;rcail attention and Rainlncr notoriety in public mittcra of moment to h? worM by the acts' and utterances of her notable citizens. When tho 'witches' cauldron was sitting in Chicago and the turbulent spirits who were fomenting anarchy, repudiation, dishonor and dishonesty were in the midst of their incantations, it was an Indianapolis man who calmly stood in the sulphuryus glare ot their poisonous exhalations, and, in the face of threats of personal violence, demanded a hearing. Given u few brief moments, wherein he delivered a fchort address based on common sense,, he was thenceforth derided and ignored: but he departed bearing the wizard 'talisman which eventually dispelled all meshes woven by tho conspirators. The lndianaohs sound-money Democrat convention was one of the prim factors In scotching the frcc-stlver yerpont. and V. V. Hynum smiled serenely whib the ambulance corps gathered up the shattered fraprmrffs of the lxteen-to-one party after the November Waterloo. International bimetallism In reality will Ih hs delusive as the water In Tautulus's cup. The trained financiers of the mlKhty nations of the world will be very chary of committing themselves to a chimerical ar.d visionary scheme. The financial laws of the world are bv natural attrition adjusting themselves slowly, but with an unerring certainty to a time and a system, when and by which there will be but two substances that will represent the circulating medium, called money, of the world, and those two substamt-s will be gold and paper gold to be the medium of exchange between nations, when o stipulated, and paper to do the universal business of all civilized nations within their own borders. Silver, as subsidiary coin, may even be replad by fractional currency. Silver Is slowly but urely gnvitating to Its position us th finest and l-.U among the baser metals, and its steadily declining value will make it of commoner ue in thearts. For art purposes there will be a steady dem-tnd for silver bullion at its commercial value, whatever that may eventually be. it is not the desire of foreign nations to enhance the value of silver as a commodity, neither Is it to the advantage of the ordinary citizen of the L'nitd States to force the price- of silver up. uuIcms he Is the owner of a silver mine. Who can foresee the danger in store for us with u treasury stored full of silver dollars that are not dollars? The United States has long since passil the danger line in th coinage of silver dollars containing only cents worth of value. It la time to call a halt, for the time is not far in the future when the silver structure we are -r-etlng will tecone so top-heavy that it will work our destruction by falling upon us. This i a self-evM-nt fact, and yet we as a nation are blindly going ahead coining two millions a. month, fictitious value, ani leistering it up with what? Comparatively nothing. It 1-oks like the currency-reform congress would do well to consider the elimination of silver from our circulating mediumH altogether. SOX OF A VETERAN. I&dlnapoU4, Jan. t. i

IMPROVEMENTS IN 1897

so .mi: or tiiosi: covniPLvrnn nv TIIK I'EXXSYLVAM.t COM I' A XV Liindlnsr Cirnln Slenmrrw from Hlevnlora In rvr York Speculation liecvrdlnic the Ilrlce Lines. General Manager Lorec, of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg, and John F. Miller, general superintendent of the Southwestern system, were in the city yesterday on official business. Mr. Loree, when asked what was to be done in the way of improvements on the lines of which ho is general manager, said they would lay some 23.CM) tons of new heavy-weight steel rail, put in several hundred thousand new ties and give brides any attention required. "The company," said he. 'will probably purchase a dozen or more new ten-wheel consolidated locomotives for use on heavy express freight trains, and will likely spend a handsome sum of money in improvements at Indianapolis. The company did not purchase the Sinker-Davis property and pay E--0.0)0 for it simply to have the privilege of laying a few additional tracks across Delaware street, but to handle its business more expeditiously and to better accommodate the business men of Indianapolis. The Pennsylvania Company has always observed a liberal policy in making Improvements at this point, as shown by its shops r?i o:iat,ern art of the c,t' and the Lnion Station. The latter building and its surroundings would never have been secured but for the active part the Pennsylvania lines in connection with the Big Four, took in the matter. The buildings the i ennsylvania Company proposes to erect on the union tracks between Delaware street and Pennsylvania street will be a credit to any city, as they will be built on plans of so extensive a character as to answer the company for many years, capacity and convenience being the things most sought for regardless of cost. In othf,rWifh'Khe ,mPrvenienta will be on a iofthose the nsylvania Companyhas in late years carried out." rnln Kxpurt YIaXew York. The New York Produce Exchange for months has been laboring to bring about a change which would reclaim at least a portion of Its export grain traffic, hoping to influence the Joint Traffic Association to order such a change In differentials or other advantages which Baltimore and Newport News possess, and by which thse ports were doing such an enormous export business, which would benefit New Y'ork. The New York Produce Exchange is now much elated. The first steamer in fifteen years was loaded from a New York elevator on Monday. The grain men in the exchange announced with a great deal cf satisfaction that H. U. Herbert & Co. had purchased for Grinnell.- Minturn & l'U8hls of old No. 2 corn, and iPi.1, lhis corn was ns loaded into the Ur.tlsh .steamship Edwin from the Erie's elevators at Pavonia ferry. In other words, the corn was being taken into the hold of the Edwin directly from the Erie Hallway elevator. Mr. Herbert said the Edwin was the first steamboat to load at a railroad company's elevator In the harbor of New York since JSsi. lie explained that by an arrangement some of the terminal charges which have been demanded by the railroad companies, and which have made it unprofitable for the New Y'ork grain men to load at the railroad elevators, had been done away with. Mr. Herbert went on to say that daylight had at last appeared, and that, according to the present arrangement of rates grain could now o neju. ana ue tumniea into tne steamships from the railroad elevators at this port as in the old days. Br lee' Latent Actiuinltioii. Now that thc.Brice syndicate has secured control of the Cincinnati. Jackson Sc. Mackinaw the question is asked, what can they do with it? It is really three hundred miles of track without an important terminal. It strikes a few good cities and towns in Ohio and Michigan, but owns very meager terminals. A Toledo paper says: "Before tho C, J. & M. was able to land any business in Cincinnati. Toledo, or on the lake, it has been compelled to give up such a large proportion of its rates to the terminal lines that the property has never been a profitable investment, liefore Mr. Brice or his people can reasonably expect to make it a dividend-paying road the C. J. & M. must have some terminal property, and it would seem that this is the reason why the road has been taken out of the hands of the receiver. Senator Brice now has an ordinance granting right of way pending before the Cincinnati Coui cil. which, with property already purchased there, will virtually give the C. J. & M. an independent entrance Into that city. In order to give the property termin.il facilities at the northern end the senator's plan is to build an extension to Benton Harbor, on Lake Michigan. From Benton Harbor a line of car ferries will run across the lake to Chicago. Milwaukee and several other minor ports." An I nexpected Opposition. Some of the Vanderbilt lines decline to participate in the interchangeable .'.OuO-mile ticket, a matter which Is causing a great deal of annoyance to the Central Passenger Committee. It is probable that the matter and the granting of a differential to the Nickel-plate will be referred to the loard of managers of the Joint Traffic Association. The Lake Shore's legal department Is of the opinion that the sale of such tickets virtually amounts to a violation of the law, as it is a discrimination in favor of a certain class of people, and for this reason the company hesitates to put these tickets on -ale. The Michigan Central refused to become a party to this agreement providing for the sale of such tickets be cause it takes the position that it cannot do so under the laws of Michigan without running the risk of being forced to sell regular tickets at 2 cents per rnlle. " Central PitMsenger Committee. Tho roads of the Central Passenger Committee finished their work at Chicago yes terday and took an adjournment until the 3d of February, when the meeting of the committee will be held in Buffalo. Two other meetings will follow this meeting of the committee lines, a tourist meeting be ing held on the 4th and a joint meeting of the Eastern roads and those of the Central Passenger Committee being held on the 5th. At the meeting yesterday the principal matter uisposed of was tne application oj the Nickel-plate for a differential on the Interchangeable five-thou sand-mile tickets which have been adopted by the committee. The Nickel-plate m.de a strong tight for its differential, but the best it cculd get was that the matter should be referred to arbitration. 1 he general opinion is that the differential will not be allowed . Greedy HIk Fellow n." A meeting of the lines between Chicago and the Ohio river was held in Chicago yesterday for the purpose of injecting soiae starch into the. agreement for the maintenance of rates that is supposed to exist J between the lines. For a long time this traffic has been light and ino rates have been badly demoralized. The small lines have Ik en complaining that the btg Uilcws have been gomg after business that properly belonged to them, as the weaker lines are for the most part behind in their agreed percentages under the agreement adopted. T7tey nave teen making a strong fiKht for a larger part of tne tranic. After talking throughout the afternoon the roads renewed their promises to ob serve the agreement, and it was decided to sponge the slate and take a fresh start all around. Pernonnl. Lorul mid General ote, G. I. Peck, superintendent of the Pitts burg division of the Panhandle, has, with his family, gone to. .Florida. Alexander Graydon has been appointed paymaster of th St. l-ouis & San Fran Cisco, vice S. F. Randolph resigned. The Ballroad Men's Building and Ioan Association has voted to increase its capi tal stock from ji.rico.uoo to Fj.'a'O.u'A'. The Chicago & Eastern Illinois earned in December $3vi.IN. against $;:0.".. in De cember. lKo. and against $.lJ,".tk)7 in 1KH. It is settled that the Lima Northern will make NapoUon, O.. an important point on the line, having extensive sidetracks and shops at that point. The general superintendent of the Grand Trunk wrmounces that the company will give a free pass on its lines once a year to every employe wno requests it. John It.-Williams died at Scranton on Tuesday, aged eighty-one years. He had been a resident of that city since IMG. and

rolled the first rail turned out In the rolling

mill at that place, which is the oldest plant in this country. ' Through its traffic alliance with the Bal timore K: Ohio the Wheeling & Lake Erie will have the short line between Wheeling and Cleveland, the distance being 110 miles. The general manager of the Illinois steel rail mills states that the company has not reduced wages of its ordinary employes. Tne reductions affects those receiving over J100 a month. The Pennsylvania lines have a consider able Quantity of export grain yet at West ern points, and are holding it back on ac count of the crowded condition of things at Baltimore. W. A. Todd, superintendent of the docks of the Columbus & Hocking Valley road at Toledo for. several years, has resigned. He has consented to remain in charge until his place can be tilled. J. R. Cavanagh. superintendent of car service of the Big Four, and a number of other railroad men. are agitating the form ation of a Railway Club at Indianapolis similar to that at St. Louis. E. B. G. Collidge has been appointed manager of the Wheeling & Lake Erie Coal Company, with headquarters at To ledo. He was formerly general agent or the Wheeling & Lake Erie at Detroit. It Is stated that D. B. Robinson, president of the St. Ixuis & San Francisco, who has already taken George Nicholson from the Santa Fe, as his general passenger agent, will take some others for other important positions on the 'Frisco. The earnings of the Toledo. St. Iouis & Kansas City for the week ending Dec. 31 were tt0.3&94: S29.841.&0: increase. $2."27.14: month ending Dec. 31. ISM. $191,242.0$: JM)3.

The Panhandle will to-day complete the work of filling up the washout near Steuben ville, which occurred some weeks ago. A new bridge and a good deal of filling was necessary, the work costing $20,000. Trains will on Sunday commence running over that portion of the road on schedule time. Rev. R. V. Hunter, pastor of the Seventh Presbyterian Church, is arranging with James Burwich, the Panhandle evangelist, and Conductor Gray, of the Big Four, to address his congregation on two Sunday evenings In the near future. This church has a !argo attendance of railroad men and their families. Though the Milwaukee. Lake Shore & Western, by purchase, became the property oi" the Chicago & Northwestern, there has never been any actual union of the lines; now It is proposed to unite the lines by building a connecting road twenty miles in lerngth from Allenville to the Chicago & Northwestern main line. Tho Baltimore & Ohio has let down the bars on 1. 000-mile tickets, under a recent order instructing conductors to honor the mileage if presented by any person regard less of the name the book bears. This rule is meeting with hearty approval, as ladies can use their husband's mileage, or any other person of a family or firm. A committee of the Western Passenger Association, which has for seme time had the matter under consideration, has filed a report on the proportion of the value of round-the-world tourist tickets which should accrue to the American roads. The report says that the old basis of $94.73 for the American rail rate should be continued. Of this amount the roads between Chicago and New York should receive $22.25, $12.50 between Chicago and the Missouri river and $G0 from the Missouri river -to the Pacific ccast. Jan. 15 has been fixed upon as the date to remove the ticket office of the Indiana, Decatur & Western from South Illinois street to the room at the corner of Wash ington and Meridian streets, consolidating it with the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton and the Monon offices. The next step will probably be tho closing of the Big Four, the Pennsylvania and Vandalia offices, near the Union Station, as the closing of the I.. D. & W. has removed what has been claimed was an obstacle to closing the of fices named. The case of the Interstate-commerce Commission against ex-Traffic Manager Hanley. of the Santa Fe road, was con tinued at Chicago yesterday; the government rested its case without having pro duced any more strong evidence against Hanley. and the defense promptly asKeo that the case be dismissed. This the court refused and a number of witnesses were introduced, nearly all of them contradict ing the testimony of John G. Taylor in re gard to his denials of ill-feeling against Mr. Hanley. It is expected that tne arguments will be made to-day. In the year S there were l.OTtG passenger trains of the Louisville. New Albany & Chicago ariving at Indianapolis, and of these trains but four were over an hour late, and 09.20 per cent, of its trains arrived on sched uled time, or practically so. as in some cases the trains may have been delayed a few minutes after reaching the Lnion tracks. General Passenger Agent Reed is pleased with the time record the Monon has made, not only on the Indianapolis di vision, but on its main line, and it is the more creditable from the fact that trains were scheduled faster than in any rormer year. Last week a test was made of speed on the New York Central, under the direction of Superintendent of Motive Power Buchanan, to ascertain how much the speed of trains could be increased, and wnat tne extra increase in expense would be. Engine No. 123 and a train of eight cars were used in the test and two engineers, A. Lippincott and F. H. Ely, made the trip, riding on the front of the engine and protected by a shield. It was found that 512 horsepower was eleveiopeu on eacn sme oi me engine. A speed of seventy-eight miles an hour was made just above Hudson and kept up for twenty miles. In several places along the division a speed of 83.7 miles per hour was attained. s R. C Wright, one of the veteran mechanics in the shops of the Pittsburg. F'ort Wavne cc Chicago, who has invented a number of Improvements to rolling stock, has Invented a metallic car truck, which is considered by an expert as the best yet constructed. There is not a single rivet hole in the angles, and tnis ieaturt aione will commend it to all practical railroad men. R. C. Wright is one of the oldest railroad mechanics in the country. He was formerly head draftsman for the Baldwin locomotive works, and later on connectea with the Brooks works at Dunkirk, N. Y. At one time he was superintendent of the Witherow & Gordon works at New Castle. r una had a fierce tiftht with the Knights of Iabor. causing a long and severely con tested strike. He laid out ana assistea in the construction of the Kent shops of the Erie Railroad, which was then known as the Atlantic & Great Western. The t'ourtlionse Terrace. To the LMitor of the Indianapolis Journal: I see by the papers that postal ci.ds have leen sent to different persons to get their opinion in regard to cutting down the courthouse yard. If this has been done 1 have failed to see any of the cards. I pre sume they were sent to persons who were known to be in favor of it. Such a job would cost not less than $20,000. and what have you got for your money? 1 sup pose it will be done to give the city officers better accemmodatlons at least that is one of the pleas; then the basement can be entered from the ground line and avoid going down the steps. They don't think they would have to climb additional steps to get to the upper floors of the main build ing. Every one knows that the underground foundation stones of a bulldlr.g are rough, and these, as well as all the sewer pipes and other connections, would be brought to view, and would have to be low ered. True, the rough foundation stones could Ik coated with cement, but It would nJt stand the weather. But there is one improvement that could and should be made, and that Is to put some sham-too cap-stones on the low wall that surrounds the building, so that it would not be so comfortable for the loafers that congre gate there on nne nays and spit all over everything in slc:ht. After the yard is cut down, what will we have? Nothing; the city would hue to pay rent for it just the same. Let the city put up a building of Its own. and the $2a.oou spent on spoiling the present leautiful yarel would go far to wards paying Tor a new city builellng. and if that is not enough, take some that we propose spending for the removal of the Blind Asylum and putting up that big centennial building. A building of Its own is what tho city needs. The city may le a little bigger some day and may need it. ami now is the time to get It. I see nothing in. the way of putting it in the rear of the courthouse yarel. fronting on .Market street, occupying tho space formerly occupied by the Jail. The rear of the courthouse yard is anything but a thing of beauty us it now is. If that site should not be desirable, there are others not far off that mls;ht be. By all means let the city have a building of its own, with a basement sufficiently large .o put in Its own electric . light plant. BENJAMIN F. H ETHER INGTON. Indianapolis, Jan. 7.

FOR WOMEN'S READING

A Fi:V AltTISTfC fmA!IK.TS I1KTTEIt TIIAX MANY POOR ONES. eetletl Ilounelinlri Convenience Should lie' rnieiife'd' ly Women. What In Worn ! the FnNlilonnbles. What to do with your present collection of horrors In the way of tawdry bric-a-brac is quite a problem, 'say a'writer In Decorator and Furnisher. The shabbiest may be consigned at once to the ash barrel, and other articles may be wisely bestowed upon small children who have a happy faculty of destructiveness. If you wish to learn a valuable lesson as to the difference between buying a thing and celling it, you may try to dispose of your bric-a-brac for cash. M ike a good clearance, at all events, and then try to powers your soul in patience while you accumulate 90 Plowly, as it sems to you a Good Tast Fend. The litter once out of it, your room will ct least be more restful. Y'ou will learn, happily, the need of clear space as a part of all artistic effect. Eyes, brain and nerves are tired by a multiplicity of objects; a simple, unincumbered background teaches one of the first principles of all art-repose. And then think of all that you escape In the way of "dusting the ornaments!" Therefore, when you begin to redecorate, you may find that you need but one article for ten that you have discarded. This is a direct saving In outlay, and you can afford to get a much higher grade article into the bargain. One more bit of advice: get the best of what you get, but do not confuse the idea of artistic excellence with mere costliness of material. A first-rate marble statuette is more expensive than an equally artistic Plaster cait; tut a first-rate plaster cast is far better worth having than a second-rate Image in marble. Grace of contour, subtlety of line, fineness. Jn proportion these are the essential things; and though the finer materials may have greater possibilities for their perfection, it is better to have them frankly modified by the nature of the substance than o have the more costly material that lacks the artistic touch. All material that closely resembles the more costly substance is best avoided; the comparison that it suggests is bound to be unlavorable. This principle applies to all your belongings. Good ash. birch, whitewood or spruce serviceably put together. all save the first may be painted or stained, though the stain is best which does not imitate more costly woods make more satisfactory and more tasteful furniture than does oak or mahogany joined shakily and overlaid by moldings and headings turned out at the rate of a yard a minute. Chintz, in a good design, is preferable to sleazy cotton plush, .and if you cannot afford draperies of expensive lace you can at least compass graceful lines, curves and folds in muslin or in cheese cloth. Moreover. If you desire the effect to be truly artistic do not undertake to manufacture your ornaments yourself unless you have made art decoration your business. There is no harm in having a hobby, but the fruit of a hobby is usually more curious than successful. Do not waste your time and energy If you are a first-rate typewriter give the main part of your time and attention to that, and use a part of vour pay for the purchase of artistic productions from your neighbor who has taken a course in decoration 'and can paint a picture frame while you' "'are, wondering whether you need oil or water colors and arc hopelessly at sea as to a suitable design. You are certain thit she would come to grief and probably take the machine with her if she tried to operate your typewriter without due Instruction Whir shmilrl hope for better success if you attempt her work without having technical training for it? Buy fewer things; : buy letter things; think more of the art displayed than of the value of the material, and you may find that taste and economy are not Incompatible. AYIiat I Worn. New Y'ork Evening -PosL The empire or saclt-bac'k coat has gained much ground in favor this winter, and is found to be at least a very easy and useful garment. The cutters have greatly improved on the shape we were first familiar with, smartness and a sack-back coat being a few seasons ago quite irreconcilable. Though fashion favors coats of this style, if greatly shortened, in length, it is neverelegant even worrr by the most admirable figures. A woman has only to put on a loose dressing sack that just reaches the hips to partially judge of the unbecoming effect of this particular model. The various fanciful accessories Involved In many of the new fashions are well calculated to fulfill their mission, which is to give variety without material change in the dress. Lsually interesting and artistic concelts are shoAn. and they are most lavishly used the effect of excess being easily Mlt,ed $y pood tasle and r-ever disposal With other fancy waists it is always weil to have a black satin tmdlce plain, stylish and close-litting. w ith a skirt to match This may be quite high in the. neck or otherwise cut square with one or two semi-transparent chemisettes provided-black and white severally, for instance, also one of black satin trimmed in some pretty fashion. A majority of the new neck trimmings are made to simulate a square neck or very broad, deep yoke' bordered with lace or pleated chiffon frills: and these, worn with a high-necked bodice, can be varied intlefinltely.

Upon stylishly attired young women in afternoon dress at th? various picture galleries in the city are. noted gowns of cloth soft India cashmere. or drap d'ete In black or colors, dark or pale, the costume consisting merely of the gown lined with silk and a little toy bolero Jacket on velvet brocade or moire, edged with fur. with a girdle to match, a. huge empire muff, a spreading picture hat with a witchlike crown, and any number of disjointed-looking feathers apparently fastened on with one stitch and a promise and blown hither and yon over the "picture" creation. The wearers of these jackets.ln spite of their big muffs and big hats and merely ornamental fur trimmings. ;ook cold and long-skirted and short-waisted. their abnormal hats and muffs out of all sort of proportion to their insufficient little twelve-Inch jackets. Certainly until one, has become accustomed to this mode of dress it scarcely appeals to one's sense of the appropriate or becoming for winter wear on the street. However, it is considered "the height of style;" therefore what further need be said against it or in its favor? Some Novel Sandwiches. The Household.

Perwonnl lleiiuty. Philadelphia Times. Personal beauty has always been a letter of credit which the world has hastened to honor. Those who have come to us with goodly forms and beautiful faces and high spirits we have received with open arms, asking very little else of them in the way of credentials or performances. We have never judged them by the strict laws that obtain for the less well favored. The misdeeds of the attractive child are passed over with an indulgent smile. The beauti ful woman and handsome man are for given many things that another might not do with Impunity. In sober moments of reflection we repudi ate this beauty worship and say that all Is vanity. We speak of admiration for intelligent minds and noble souls, but this is merely a makeshift to salve over our own wounded vanity. It is not for the saint or for the elderly and intelligent college professor that the smile springs unbidden to our lips, and our hearts warm even when A .... Htney are personally unnnown io us. csave that fdr beauty, she of the rose-leaf skin and starry eyes. It is nature's own tribute to nature. No woman, at least, ever reaches a icint of philosophy when she is reconcile-el to being ugly. J t is no comfort to her to near that beauty is only skin deep, when the skin is the perfect complexion of another woman. 1o her the marvels of tne rairy tales of modern science have brought nothing more worthv of gratitude than the hope that they hold out to homely women of bettering their looks. In olden times tne ugly duckling remained the ugly duckling to the end of the chapter. Now we know that while the ugly woman can never be come a radiant beauty, much may bo done to Improve matters. Intelligence and care in nreuxT fcod. exercise, masseurs and u careful and discriminating taste in dress are all potent factors in developing gooel looks and in giving an Impression of beauty where none exists. Many a woman who is calleel handsome is admired for he"r clothes, and not herself. Aside from these merely physical consid erations. It is an interesting fact to note how much the mind affects not only the expression, but the actual contour of the face. Sometimes It seems to chisel narsn and coarse features into a kind of spiritual beauty. The dull person Is rarely beautiful. Poets and romancers have sung the won drous loveliness of Indian maids, and of the uncouth mountain girls, who plow the fields and make moonshine whisky. Those of us who have been brought face to face with these children of nature have looked in vain for the extolled beauty, and felt that another idol had been shattered when we saw only heavy features and lack-luster eyes. It is owing to this mental refining that we see many people, homely and plain in youth, who in middle life blossom out into a kind of Indian summer loveliness. Ennobling ideals and thoughts grave lines of beauty on many a face that but for them must he hopelessly ugly, l ney are nae trie light set behind an alabaster vase that glorifies it. A .Needed Convenience. Home Magazine. Why does not some woman with a little money to invest patent a compartment fruit or vegetable pan and get it on the market? Only she who has pealed potatoes, snapped beans, or stoned cherries, sitting with arms stralneel over pans or crocks on the table in front of her, and with the water of fruit juice trickling comfortably down to her elbows, can appreciate the Im patience in the above question, unless, indeed, she, who may have done what is worse yet, unsteadily balanced pan No. 1 on her knees and lifted the dripping contents up to the re-ceivlng pan on the table. Even that misguided housewife who "stands" to everything, who bends forwarel in her eagerness to get from one task to another in the hope seemingly of her head accomplishing nart of the work before her hands catch ui, would, probably, of shown Its advantages; gladly use a double pan, say 12x14 Inches in rim measure-ment. made good ami eleep, where the transferring would be over the shortest possible space, a thin middle partition, and the arms could rest comportably on the edges cf the pan. Her only verbal comment might be that "It saves time." but as before remarked, she, too. would probably use It, and add her proof of its desirability. One compartment, of course, would have to be fitteel with a removable pan. to be taken out before the ctmtents of the other were emptied. If any woman be in doubt about the solid comfort of this pan. let her order a trial one from her tinner and be convinced. FiiHlilonn In C'hnndelier.H. Eadies Home Companion. There is fashion in lights as in every other feature of house furnishing, and fashions are rooteel and grounded in common sense far oftener than we are in the habit of thinking. A blaze of light is out ef fashion, and deserves to be, for it is as trying to the eyes as to the complexion, and emphasizes worn ami faded furnishings as well as hollows and wrinkles. Overhead lights are under the same ban. and with equally goed and sufficient reasons. In short, chandeliers are out and brackets are in; lamps are the perfection of beauty and lighting power, and candlesticks handsomer and more popular than ever before.

The more puff paste is handled the better. says a cook, so long as it is managed as carefully as if it were made of tulle, and so long as the one principle to keep the air in, not to press it out is borne in mind. Hut -ihe less plain piecrust is touched the better it is. The same cook advises that the undercrust common to a custard pie need not be soggy, if. before pouring the custard in. the lower crust is brushed over with the white of an egg beaten up with a little water. For a "five dot game" articles required are: . Lead pencils and scraps of paper. Each Dlaver beinc provided with the above. he or she draws five dots on his or her piece of paper in any order or arrangement. They may be all in a line, or scattered about. At a given signal each player passes on his or her sheet of paper, ana then en deavors on the niece he or she receives to draw a human figure in such a way that there is a dot on each hand, each foot, and on the forehead of the same. At the end of one or two minutes "time" is called, and the drawings compared. The results, especially when the players are not very gifted, are sometimes exceptionally funny. An exceedingly pretty lamp shade which looks like a great, deep-hued aster, is made up entirely of finely pressed frills of thin gauze of purple and crimson in alternate rows, from edge to top. The light this odd, rich shade gives is warm and passionate in its deep tolor. This Is in marked contrast to a shade made in pure white tulle, to be used on a lamp with a tinted china vase for a stand. Any ordinary lamp" may be set into a deep china vase, and if the top is covered by a large and deep shade, a hand some table ornament may be brougnt into existence at little cost. The light which comes through violet or lavender rhades is very becoming to most complexions; it imparts a rosy and delicate effect to the skin, and softens and beautifies everything within its radius. ANDREW JACKSON. II In Anrentry, IIIn Service and the Work of W omen in Honoring; Illm. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Several months ago the Journal stated that a sister of General Andrew Jackson was in the city in a destitute condition, soliciting funds to enable her to reach her friends. The same item uppearefi in the Evansville papers. She may have been a sister of Andrew Jackson, but of the one and only General Andrew Jackson it was impossible. General Jackson had two brothers, lads of fifteen and seventeen, when they perished in the border warfare of the revolution. It is Just as well to say here that he had no Children. A nephew of his wife he adopted and reared as his own. Andrew Jackson v.as the name of a poor Irish immigrant who died in his early manhood from hard work and exposure incurred in trying to provide a home for his small family in the wilderness of South' Carolina. A few days after his death, March 13. 1767, his distinguished son was born. "Good Aunt Hetty." as she was known for miles around, and little Andrew lived for years with an Invalid sister of Mrs. Jackson's. When the horrors of war reached the Wax haw settlement It was Aunt Betty who went to Camden and effected a change of prisoners. Among them was her son Andrew, a delicate child Of thirteen, who was ill of smallpox. When he was convalescent she went to Charleston, fort; miles away, on a similar mission to relieve and rescue relatives and neighbors boys who were suffering the tortures of hell in the prison hulks lying in Charleston harbor. She never returned. It as learned that she reached her destination ami delivered to .the ffver-stricken. homesick boys the presents she carried from the (Uar on-s at home. She died of prison fever within a few days, hut her last resting place was never known, although dillgent inquiries were made then and in after yea rs. General Andrew Jackson was a descendant of a long line of iirdent Irish patriots. .t li'.s motht-r's kr.ee he heard eloquent recitals of the oppression of the Irl.n pt-ople in the beautiful island beyond the seas. In his bereaved and helpless childhood he fell the same relentless hand that his parent had not escaped after privations and suffeiihg endured by immigration to an almost unknown wilderness. At the Waxhaw Church, where his young father slept in the desolate churchyard, he saw unarmed n.u and innocent boys cut down by the Etitish troopers under the fiendish Lord II. don of Infamous fame. What cause for wonder, then, with such an environment in childhood, that in his mature manhood patriotism coursed as celestial lire through his veins as lie defied nature in the ct useless vigilance of days and nights when he slept not and ate his frugal meals on horseback in the midst of desperate preparations which he devised and superintended everywhere, in the city and out, to drive the Invader from lxuisiana. Truly, it was a tlesperute situation a thousand miles of jrulf coast to dend. Men conversant with

The distracted people v aited in anxious, breathless -suspense. Were the privileges gained for them by the, bloody agonies of Valley Forge and Brandywine to be lost to them Yorever? What woitld' bo the future of the great, boundless West if tho Vtritlsh were successful at Xew Orleans? The Americans could have no faith in the integrity of the British ministry that were false enough to send out a secret expedition to I'Mlsiana while their representatives were discussing terms of a treaty of peace with commissioners of the United States at Ghent. Napoleon could not continue to hold the territory so long coveted by Great Britain, and. therefore, sold it. to prevent its falling 1 no their possession. At the time of the invasion he who had been conqueror of Europe lay a captive and Wellington's heroes were advancing on defenseless New Orleans. Their fdans of action wcr. all mapped out, and so iopeful were they, so sure of tho success or the expedition, that the pet of the ministry. Sir Edward Packenham. was named governor of the to-bo-acquired, long-coveted territory. A full set of civil officers were on board the fleet to take charge of the new government, and they had their families on board and were anticipating a gay time in tho crescent cits'. A printing press and an editor to expound the regulations of the new government were part and parcel, of the occupation outfit. "New Orleans subjugated, the army would ascend the Mississippi and join forces with the army of Canada to hem in the beggarly Aneiicans.' announced a Ixmdon ministerial jaier of the time. Wellington's heroes tried conclusions with the unknown Indian fighter on the plains of Chalmetto and threw down their laurels for the cypress of Louisiana. In the darkness of night and dfat they silently, sorrowfully stole away from their dear comrades soundly sleeping in the marshes; silently stole avuy from their s'eepless aiul Invincible foe. Meanwhile, to deceive th watch, fires were kept brightly burning. General Lambert was knighted by the British government for his masterly conduct of the retreat of the lemnantK of British valor that were not sacrlticed by the greed, of the unprincipled ministry. When mounted messengers after weary days of wailing carried to the despairing people the almost incredible news of the glorious vindication of the national honor the popular heart was won. "Jackson! Jarkson! Jackson!" was the cry that echoed and re-echod .'.II over the county. Every honor a grateful people could o?stow was heaped upon him. And now, after more than half a century has elapsed since he retired to the rest he t?o much needed in the little temple-like structure In the southwest corner of the Hemitago garden, patriotism recounts annually th matchless, unexampled defense of native iand at New Orleans. The log cabin home of Jackson in 113. the by no means spacious house of a later date, the little brick church that he built for his wife that he loved so well, and who lies by his side in the Hermitage garden, all. with twenty-five acres of land, are cared for by the patriotic Indies Hermitage Association. By act of the legislature in S," a charter was given them to act through a board of trustees to preserve, and perpetuate the Hermitage as a memorial of a Nation's grateful remembrance of the Invaluable services of Jackson to the Nation. The small revenues received by the association have leen applied to redeem tho home of Jaekson from half century's decay that was deplorable. A very small contribution sent to treasurers of the association, the I'nlon Bank and Trust Company, Nashville. Tenn.. from every patriot in this glorious country will form an endowment fund that will insure the preservation of the Hermitage to future generations. COLUMBIA PAXTON WOOD.

Quackery is always discovering remedies which will act upon the germs of disease directly and kill them. But no discovery has ever yet been approved by doctors which' will cure consumption that way. Germs can only be killed by making the body strong enough to overcome them, and the early use of such a remedy as Scott's Emulsion is one of the helps. In the daily warfare man keeps up, he wins best, who is provided with the needed strength, such as Scott's Emulsion supplies. i
