mal wind direction for the coming month at each of the Weather Bureau stations and about the number of foggy days that may be expected on different portions of the several lakes as determined by the records of the past twenty-seven years. The. text printed on the back of the chart shows the location of all the danger signals of the Weather Bureau (about 125 in number) and much other information useful to vessel masters. A typical cyclonic storm is shown in one corner of the chart with the converging of the winds towards the center, ard a wind barometer table of the lake region is included in the text. A little study of the diagram of the storm center in connection with the wind barometer table will enable captains who have left port to determine the probable course* of storm centers last noted on the Weather Bureau charts on shore. On tho average five storms pass directly over the lake region in October, a majority of which, however, can be safely weathered by the larger crafts. Occasionally an October storm of unusual severity sweeps over the lakes, endangering the safety of the strongest vessels. In the last twenty years not more than a half dozen such storms have occurred in the month above named. The storm of Oct. 23-24, 1887, was probably one of the most widespread and severe for the Beason that has occurred within recent years. October is a month of transition from warm to cold—generally one of the most pleasant in the year. The change to winter conditions is first noticeable on Lake Superior, where light snowstorms may occur at any time after the 15th. Snow' falls in the vicinity of Marquette a little earlier than at other points to the westward. It has been observed as early as Sept. 13, both at Marquette and Sault Ste. Marie. On lower Lake Michigan snow has fallen as early as Oct. 6. but the average date for snow there Is about a month .later. The average date of snow at the eastern end of Lake Erie—that is, Oct. 28— is about ten days earlier than at the western end. boundary-line: dispute. Sen or Calvo on the Rights of Costa Rlea In the San Juan Delta. WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.—Senor Calvo, the Costa Rican minister, to-day called attention to a publication regarding the rights of Costa Rica in the delta of the San Juan river, a. matter which has a strong bearing on the future of the Nicaraguan canal project. The published statement was as follows: “General Alexander decides that the boundary between the two republics shall commence at the extremity of Punta de Castilla, at the mouth of the riven San Juan, and shall continue following the right bank—that is to say, the Costa Rica bank—of said river until a point is reached three miles from Castillo Viejo. He located this point, according to the treaty stipulations, at & place that puts the San Juan river and its delta wholly within the territory of Nicarauga. Nicaragua owns the river Summo Imperio as part of her domain and exercises over it all rights of sovereignty and domain. Greytown, instead of being on Costa Rican soil, as was contended, is determined to be in Nicaragua Tne whole claim of the Costa Ricans thus falls to the ground.” In this connection Senor Calvo said: “This statement not being correct, I deem it convenient to present the facts as they arfe. The limits between Costa Rica and Nicaragua were settled by a treaty between the two countries, dated April 15, 1858. Questions having been raised by Nicaragua, thirteen years after this treaty was in existence and respected by the two countries, a long contention followed, and sixteen years afterwards the subject was submitted to the decision of President Cleveland as arbitrator, who, by his award of March 22. 1888, declared the treaty to be valid, as Costa Rica claimed. Although the award was accepted by both parties, and notwithstanding the friendly efforts of the government of Costa Rica to have the oundary line marked by monuments, this work remained unfinished, not on account of any omission on the part of Costa Rica. The government of Salvador offered last year its ‘fraternal mediation,’ and through its good offices a convention was signed in order to establish the form in which the boundary line will be materially marked. According with the pre ,'isions of this convention, the two governments requested the appointment by the President, of the United States of an engineer to act as an arbitrator in any cast? of disagreement between the two respective surveying commissions from the two countries, and President Cleveland appointed Gen. A. P. Alexander, of Georgetown, S. C.” Senor Calvo reviews the work of this commission and concludes: “In regard to the river San Juan and the canal projected, I want but to remind you that Costa Rica has always maintained the validity of the treaty limits, and, as stated in President Cleveland’s award: ‘The republic of Costa Rica can deny to the republic of Nicara- • gua the right of deviating the waters of the river San Juan, in case such deviation will result in the destruction or serious impairment of the navigation of the said river, or any of its branches, at any point where Costa Rica is entitled to navigate the same.’ Finally, besides the natural rights of Costa Rica, and as defined in the same award: ‘The republic of Nicaragua remains bound not to make any grants for canal purposes across her territory without first asking the opinion of the republic of Costa Rica, as provided in Article 8 of the treaty of limits of the 15th of April. 1858. The natural rights of the republic of Costa Rica, alluded to in the said stipulation, arc the rights which, in view of the boundaries ilxed by the said treaty of limits she possesses in the soil thereby recognized as belonging exclusively to her the rights which she possesses in the harbors of San Juan del Norte and Salinas bay, etc.’ ” _ FOR CARRYING GRAIN. Steel Barge Line to Be Established on the Mississippi. ST. LOUIS, Oct. 3.— Stockholders of the Consolidated Elevator Company have practically decided to organize a company to build steel barges of light draught, in which it is expected grain can bfe shipped to New Orleans for 3 cents a bushel. Webb M. Samuel, general manager of the company, had this to say on the subject: “A steel barge line will be running on the Mississippi the early part of 1898. There is a movement on foot to build steel barges of the latest construction that will draw but fourteen or eighteen inches of water and carry SUO tons of freight. That will make them capable of running during the lowest stages of water in the river, and they can carry grain the year round to New Orleans for 3 eents per bushel. One of tne oest known ship builders in :he country will establish a shipyard in Sl. Louis and construct these barges. By the Ist of next March we will have a boat and four or live steel barges ready for the spring traue. These steel barges can be operated far cheaper than the wooden barges can Only 2 per cent, of the cost of a steel barge win pay for its annual repairs, whereas t lequires from S to 10 per cent, to keep a wooden barge in good shape. Owing to tnis low cost of operating steel barges a very low freight rate can be offered the public.” WHEAT AND* CORN CROPS. ONIMMMMMMi 1 IlnslielN of the Former anil 1,75V,000,04M of the Latter. CHICAGO, Oct. 3.—The Orange Judd Farmer, in its final estimate of tho year’s wheat crop, says that figures based on actual threshing returns indicate a total yield of 589,000,000 bushels, of which 373,630,000 is winter and 215.470,000 bushels spring wheat. With the exception of Illinois and Missouri, the winter wheat yield represents the full capacity of the soil. The spring w-heat yield in Minnesota and the Dakotas has proven a disappointment, the aggregate being only 129,000,000 bushels. The shortage there is in a measure counterbalanced by the good yield in Nebraska. Oregon and Washington. The report says the corn crop is exceedingly disappointing at an outside estimate of 1,750,0y0,000 bushels. Drought during the past two months reduced the average condition from 82.3 a month ago, to 78.9 on Oct. 1. An averuge of oats yield of 28.7 bushels per acre suggests a crop of 814,000,000 bushels, 100,000,GW more than last year. Fuiiernl of tin Authoress. CHICAGO, Oct. 3.—The funeral of Mrs. Katharine Hodges, the well-known authoress, took place to-day.

TWO FATALLY STABBED a AND TWO MEN BADLY INJURED IN A FIGHT AT BRAZIL, IND. Long-Missing Glass W'orkers* Agreement Found—The Jackson County Court-House Removal Campaign. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BRAZIL Ind., Oct. 3.—A bloody fight occurred in Samuel Pyrah’s saloon at a late hour last night, in which Emery Reffett and John Brann were fatally stabbed, and Edward Reffett and *>rant Olds badly injured. Emery Reffett attacked Brann with a dirk knife and stabbed him three times, inflicting a wound just below the heart, one in the right side and one on the shoulder. Brann, it is claimed, threw Reffett and he fell on his own knife, burying its blade in the small of his back and penetrating one lung, inflicting a wound that the attending physician pronounced fatal, Reffett’s life is now hanging in the balance. Brann is also suffering great agony. Olds and Edward Reffett, brother of Emery, have been arrested. The injured Reffett is a desperate character, having just returned frum Prison South, where he served five years for grand larceny. DE PAUW UNIVERSITY. The Fouthull Squabble and Other Mutters—( roquet Probably Tabooed. Special to the ir.Uianapolis Journal. GREENCASTLE, Ind., Oct. B.—Sandwiched in with the usual Sunday sermons at De Pauw to-day was the absorbing topic of football and the speculation as to whether or not De Pauw would have a representative team this fall. Knots of students and not a few citizens were to be seen on the street corners, in hotel lobbies and other public places discussing the sensational incidents of the past twenty-four hours. The students are thoroughly aroused on the subject and are of the opinion that the university should have a team of football players that would bring fame and credit to the institution. When the scores of Saturday's games arrived in the Sunday papers and it was seen that Purdue had only defeated the State Normal by 28 to 0, and Indiana University had by hard work managed to merely tie Rose Polytechnic, the boys of De Pauw felt that with such a team as they had in view they could easily win the championship, or at least make a better showing than they had for years.

The question of football is the all-absorb-ing one. On the one side it is alleged by those of the faculty opposed to Williamson, the player in dispute, that he last year received money for his work and thus violated a rule of the Athletic Association which condemns such transaction; but on the other hand the Athletic Association claims that Williamson has not been paid a cent by the association for his work. Fraternity matters cut some figure in the ease, as some of the fraternity men are proud of a brother who is an athlete, and, while some of the football men may have received assistance from this or that society, the denial is made strong and positive that the Athletic Association has never put up a cent of expenses for football material at De Pauw. There are, of course, two sides to this question. A prominent trustee states that there is considerable feeling among the Methodists of the State against football, and that some of the prospective donors to the funds that will have to be raised this year to supply the deficit in the finances are opposed to giving money if football is to be encouraged. When the argument is made that the State University and Purdue lose no opportunity to secure good football material, the old question of denominational schools and state institutions bobs up, and the reply is that De Pauw, being of the former class, and the latter are of the variety that is answerable to the Legislature alone, is sprung, and there the matter again is in a hitch. The question means the life or the death of athletics at De Pauw and is a question that has to be settled now for all time. It has been smoldering along for several years, and now the crisis is thought to be at hand. Athletics at De Pauw have many strong admirers among the faculty, as well as among the students and the citizens, and the glittering success of the baseball team of last year, which team won the state championship, added greatly to that zeal. A story afloat to-day that borders on the ridiculous is to the effect that croquet, which was formerly a popular game at the theological dormitory, had been tabooed and squelched on the ground that it looked too much like the game of billiards. This is merely a rumor, however, but the balls are not rolling these days on the green sward surrounding Florence Hall. Among the social events of last week at De Pauw was an informal party given by the Alpha Chi Omega Society, at the residence of Miss Elizabeth Lockridge. and another was a progressive cycle party given by the Kappa Alpha Thetas, on Friday evening. About forty ladies and their gentlemen escorts were in line, and at a given signal would exchange partners without a break In the procession. The novel entertainment was greatly enjoyed. The De Pauw Weekly Board has elected officers for the ensuing year. Charles Beard is to be editor-in-chief, Jack Webster business manager and Charles Culp local editor. These wore empowered to appoint the rest of the members of the board. Mr. Beard has had extensive experience in newspaper w’ork, and under his guidance the paper is expected to take a high rank in college journalism this year. As yet the football team lias been unable to secure an opening date. Manager Hamrick has been scouring the State for an opposition team, but the warm weather, it is thought, has prevented the men from getting into shape. Football practice is going on at a lively pace here, but some good brisk weather is needed to nut the' men on their mottle. I>e Pauw will have a good team in the field this season. One of the novelties of the social season was a slumber party by the Kappa Gamma girls to their friends. Thursday evening. The Mirage board has decided to issue an annual this year and will make an effort to get up an extra good publication. But one style of binding will be issued, and that sold at SI. , Among tho now mombors of tho Alphn J nl fraternity are Misses Blanch Clark. Edith O'Dell. Dorina Wil’iamson, Dema Martin, Mae Hemphill and Elma Patton. The Music School sent a delegation to Montieello Saturday evening to give a concert. , The Phi Delta Thetas gave a party at their hall on Friday evening to a number of Tfe Mathias has been elected De Pauw representative in the Northwestern Athletic Association. His headquarters are in ChiC ‘President Gobin spent Sunday in Russellville, where he occupied the M. E. pulpit. FOR BREACH OF PROMISE. Miss Halite- Herndon Sues Otto Ebclmtftor for $20,000. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NEW ALBANY, Ind., Oct., 3.—Miss Hallle Herndon, of Shoals, has filed suit against Otto Ebelsisor, of this city, for $20,000 for breach of promise to marry. Ebelsisor was married to Miss Lonett Eckert, of this city. Sept. 13. at Trinity Springs, Marion county. He denies having made any promise to Miss Herndon. His mother was one of the heirs of the Williamson estate at Philadelphia, valued at several million dollars, and her share was nearly SIOO,OOO. Three Damage Stilts nt Kokomo. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. KOKOMO, Ind., Oct. 3.—Adam Catron, a young farmer west of here, has instituted a flve-thousand-dollar damage suit against Marion Miller, a druggist of Mlchigantown. Some weeks ago, Catron says, he went to Miller’s store and asked for 20 cents’ worth of quinine, but the clerk made a mistake and gave him strychnine instead. He took a dose of the poison, and claims the shock permanently injured his system. Saturday Mrs. Mabel Reed, wife of Edward Reed, of Flora, west of here, tiled i two-thousand-dollar damage suit against ner husband's grandmother, Mrs. Anna Bane. The complaint, filed by Attorney M. A. Ryan, alleges that Reed sent his wife to ive with Ills grandmother, and on Mrs. Reed's refusal to take drugs for her deli*ate condition the old lady struck her, intiding permanent bodily injury. Simon Spurrier, a Burrows saloon keep•r, was sued for $2,G00 damages Saturday by Mrs. Flora Cohee, widow of James Cohee,

ANDERSON, Ind., Oct. 3.—The articles of amalgamation of the Window-glass Blowers’ and Gatherers’ National Association and the Window-glass Cutters’ National Association, which have been lost ever since LBBO, when the amalgamation was effected, and on which the present bitter glass workers’ fight depends, were found yesterday and are now in the hands of the cutters. The cutters claim that the blowers and gatherers stole the articles. They were recovered through Paul St. Peter, a brother Os John St. Peter, who was charged last year with absconding with the association’s funds. It seems that officers of the cutters association performed some needed favor in consideration of a copy of the agreement, w hich was then in the hands of Paul St. Peter. In the present tight the trouble grew out of President Burns making demands for the blowers and gatherers 15 per cent, in excess of the cutters and flatteners. The latter withdrew from the wage conference and three weeks ago withdrew as a body from the association, claiming that In the original agreement of amalgamation the basis was that all should profit alike by a raise in wages, and all suffer alike by a fall. Burns and the blowers and gatherers denied that there was any section of this kind. The cutters and flatteners did not have any copy of the agreement to show them, all papers at the time being in the hands of the opposition. The agreement which they have now secured will create a sensation. It will be introduced in the suit for a receivership for the old association, which the cutters have brought and which will be tried in November. Struggle Between Factions. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. EL WOOD, Ind., Oct. 3.—President Simon Burns, of the National Window-glass Workers’ Association, announces that a number of other Indiana window-glass factories will start by the 10th of October. The struggle between the eutters and flutteners on one side and the gatherers and blowers, has been fiercely renewed. Presidents Cake and Sneelman, of the Cutters’ and Flatteners’ Unions, have taken up headquarters in the Indiana gas belt and are trying to induce manufacturers to sign their scale, but as they could furnish no gatherers or blowers the manufacturers can see no inducement to sign. COUNTY SEAT FIGHT. Seymour und Droniatoivn Forces Now In Buttle Array. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SEYMOUR, Ind., Oct. 3.—The campaign in behalf of the removal of the county seat from Brownstown to Seymour will begin i t earnest this week. Tuesday night there will be speaking in every township In the county. The anti-removaJists began their speaking last week, and have also started men out polling the various townships of the county. During the street fair here there was considerable button-holing done, there being a large number of Brow*nstownites on the ground all week. Seymour has had a large number of copies of the courthouse law printed in the English and German languages, and it is the intention to jilace a copy in the hands of every voter in the county, so that they can familiarize themselves with the provisions of the act. The light from now on will be a hard one, as both sides are determined to win. Ex-Con-gressman Jason B. Brown is marshaling the Seymour forces and Bart 11. Burrell the forces for Brownstown. Both sides are confident of success on Oct. 19, and as there are hut fifteen days left in which to work, business in both places will be neglected in order to talk courthouse. In order to change the county seat the removalists must have 60 per cent, of the total vote cast. The vote of the county at the election last year was 6.265, and if the same number of ballots are cast at the coming election it will require 3,761 votes favoring relocation before the county seat can be removed to this city.

ANDERSON, Ind., Oct. 3.—Allen Eschelman, a farmer of this county, has anew way of dealing with apple thieves. Yesterday Eschelman saw three men drive out of one of his orchards, some distance from the farm house. He rounded them up, made them drive to his home, carry all of the apples into the eellar and then put up their horse in his barn. After feeding their horse he returned to the house and, without reference to the incident which had brought their acquaintance, began entertaining them. He made them play croquet and look at the stock until dinner time. Then he gave them a feast of fried chicken and other delicacies. He insisted on entertaining them all afternoon and gave their horse another repast. At last, when darkness was coming on, he hitched up the horse wh ie the three men were occupying the parlor, and bidding them adieu, with the nope that they would call again, he started them back to the city. He is inclined to believe that they will not steal from his orchards again. Will to De Contested. Special to the India lapolis Journal. VALPARAISO, Ind., Oct. 3.—A. S.

NUN LOST; WIFE GAINED. Pretty Romance of a Young Novitiate In an Ottawa Convent. OTTAWA, Ont., Oct. 3.—ln spite of protests and entreaties of parents and religious superiors, one of the Gray nuns of Notre Dame of Ottawa has renounced her convent life and gone back into the world, enticed thither by the mischievous imp, Cupid, for whom the holts and bars of a convent are no more sacred than are the locksmith devices on mere secure secular buildings. Mile. Baudoin, who afterwards was known as Sister Bousecours, was only sixteen years old when she professed herself a postulate of the Order of the Gray Nuns. She was the daughter of a tradesman, who like many of his class among the French Canadians, imagined that to have a son or daughter in religious orders was to have a patent of nobility. Mile. Baudoin had imbibed her own share of the family superstition. She had some superficial accomplishments and a slight ground work of education. She had been a pupil in the convent. Os life and the world she knew nothing. So Mile. Baudoin started in on her probation—a probation of five years, the vows being made only from year to year. At first things went admirably. Everybody loved the girl—they couldn’t help it. She herself seemed happy. The pent-up sunshine in her nature had to find some outlet, and it bubbled out in music. The fame of Sister Bousecours’s skill and genius in music soon crept out beyond the convent walls. . But in the meantime something was happening to Sister Bousecours. It dated from the day when a handsome young physician called at the convent with his sister to see a friend. It was observed by the lynx-eyed sisters that the physician had occasion for a number of days after his visit to go by the convent, very frequently, and furthermore in connection wuth this fact a coincidence was observed. This was that whenever the physician was passing Sister Bousecours was always playing tne piano with a nerve and dash which was remarkable even in her, brilliant musician as she w*as. Besides, while Sister Bousecours was playing the’physician was not merely going by, he w*as conspicuously sauntering and even loitering. Os course the Gray Nuns were scandalized at this. As for the Mother Superior, she took Sister Bousecours severely to task. Moreover, she inflicted penances upon her and all this was very injudicious, for if Sister Bousecours was of devoted religious faith so was she also hign spirited. She met tho discipline with a declaration of independence. She announced that she would leave the convent at the expiration of the year; that she would not renew her vows for another year; would not become a Gray Nun and would return to the world and live in it. Then came entreaties, threats, appeals to the bishop. But it was all in vain until the aid of Sister Bousecours’s father. Baudoin, was called in. Baudoin in substance pronounced sentence of parental excommunication upon his daughter unless she renounced her profane purpose. He would have naught to do with her here or hereafter; she would die with his malediction upon her. Poor Sister Bousecours had braved all the artillery of the church; had endured all the humiliation and the disgusting penances that were heaped upon her without once shrinking In her resolution. But under the paternal wrath all her fine spirit gave way. She continued in the convent, dragging out an unhappy, wearisome life until liberty at last came with the death of her father. Then she shed the gray gown forever and fluttered away like a bird out of a cage. In Montreal she began giving music lessons, until by the strangest of strange chances that handsome physician reappeared on the scene. And—well, tney were married, and have been living happy ever afterwards. Pure, rich blood feeds the nerves. That Is w hy Hood's Sarsaparilla, the great blood purifier, cures nervousness.

CONCESSION TO SILVER FAVORED BY LORD AI DENHAM AND HENRY RIVERSDALE GRENFELL. Agitation Will Be Contlnaed, They Say, I’nleM n ConipromiKe 1 Effected—Artist Tortured in Thibet. LONDON, Oct. 3.—The Times published a letter this morning. signed by Lord Aldenham (Henry Hucks Gibbs) and Henry Riversdale Grenfell, in which the writers express the opinion that the time has passed for academical discussion of Jthe currency question, which become one of practical politics. Recalling the resolution adopted in Parliament after Mr. Balfour's speech during the debate on March 17, 1836. and the promise of Sir Michael Hicks-Beach. of the same date, that the government would do its utmost to secure by international agreement a stable par exchange between gold and silver, while preserving the gold standard the writers say: "The leaders of the bimetallic movement in London have recommended the acceptance of the KicksBeach compromise. If the negotiations are successful there would be no further bimetallic agitation, for though we believe the soundest and wisest course would be for Great Britain to co-operate with other nations and open her mints to both metals, we should be glad to see the compromise effected. It would have the important and desirable result of restoring par exchange between the gold using and silver using countries.” The letter predicts that unless this compromise is curried out, agitation will be continued on the basis of reopening the mints to the free coinage of both metals; but it expresses the belief that the great commercial nations are so alive to the dangers that would follow a failure in the negotiations that the compromise will be accepted. Mr. Grenfell, it is told, joined with Lord Aldenham in the publication last year of a collection of pamphlets on both sides of the question. TORTURED BY THIBETANS.

Finally the Thibetans arrested him by an act of treachery, sentenced him to death and, after torturing him with hot irons, actually carried him to the execution ground. At almost the last moment the execution was stopped by the Grand Llama, who commuted the sentence to torture by the "stretching log,” a species of rack, which greatly injured Mr. Landor’s spine and nmbs. After being chained for eight days he was released. Mr. Landor has no fewer than twenty-two wounds as the result of his torture.
