AMUSEMENTS. Park—“On the Snwanee River,” The Park Theater had an agreeable change of bill at the matinee yesterday afternoon, when the bright comedy-dram?, "On the Suwanee River," opened for three days. Since this play was here last season It has -undergone a number of changes, both In the lines and in the cast. There has been a general ovehauling, new lines and situations added, and, on the whole, changes to the advantage of the production. The same does not quite hold true with regard to the people in the company. Callahan made quite a hit in the character of Caleb Croc, the miser, last year, but Willard Newell does not give quite so finished a portrayal. Stella Mayhew takes the place of Mrs. Milt Barlow in the role of Aunt Lindy, tho old colored servant, and the production suffers nothing in consequence. Miss Mayhew makes a good Aunty, and by her clever singing of anew coon song. "I Wonder Wot s Dat Coon's Game.” elicited hearty applause and an encore, to which she responded with another fetching negro melody. Polly Stockwell, as blind Dora Clayton, displayed considerable talent. Alien H. Bailey, as Jack Torrence. a young planter, and Earl Atkinson, as Judge Hawk, a sort of village "knowall,” were w'ell received, partly because they are former residents of Indianapolis and partly because thev deserved it. I* red Truesdeil, as Frank Clayton, the colonel ai son. drew applause by his excellent rendition of a love song in a high baritone voice of remarkable sweetness and purity. The feature of the whole show is the singing of plantation melodies by a quartet of real darkies, composed of Messrs. T. R. Glover. T. Tennette. W. S. Green and A. Brown. These dispensers of natural harmony we back again and again until the audience took pity on their weariness and allowed Aunt Lindy to "shoo” them off. Mr. Brown possesses much native ability as a fun-maker, in addition to a tenor voice of great flexibility. “On the Suwanee River” is put on the statge with scenery and accessories above expectations. The engagement continues the remainder of the week with usual matinees. Empire—“Rone Hill.” The Rose Hill English Folly Company opened at the Empire yesterday afternoon to a big house, presenting two well-staged and handsomely-costumed burlesques, with a number of specialties and a vaudeville olio. Blanche Newcomb has revived her “M-ha-ha” song, about the cutest thing :he ever did, John E. Cain’s negro delineation made the old-time variety farce, "Treat Her Kindly,” the hit of the entertainment. Bailey and Mae Dawson do a clever roller skating act, or. rather. Bailey does the skating. Including somersaults and skating on stilts. Jeanetta Elliott, "England's Vital Spark,” does a very graceful acrobatic dance and some skillful contortionist work. Cunningham and Grant, erstwhile "the brutal brothers," are billed this vear as "the society knockabouts,” hut there is nothing in their assault and battery representation that would call up images of pink teas. The company will remain the rest of the week, giving the usual daily matinees. The Gay Masqueraders will open Monday for three days. The lie Pnsqunll Operatic Stars. Tho D Pasquali graud operutic stars will epen the Y. M. C. A. lecture course at English's Opera House on Monday evening. In addition to the usual concert programme, the company will give the second act of Flotow's opera, "Martha,” In costume. Signor De Pasquali and his wife are the posaessors of tine voices. She is a native of Boston and a graduate of the National Conrervatory of Music, New York city. She Is the possessor of a coloratura soprano. Signor De Pasquaii was formerly tenor of the Royal Theater of Palermo, Italy. His first appearance in tho United States was with the Danirosch Symphony Orchestra in New York, since which time he has been heard In opera and concerts with such organizations as the Heinrich and Tavary Grand Opera companies, Schlermvr-Mapleson Company, Sehalchl and others. Signor and Big. nora De Pasquali supported Mme. Schaichl on her concert tour last season. Miss Margaret Crawford, contralto, sings the part of Nancy in "Martha.” Mr. Ernest Gamble, baaeo profundo, is known in oratorio and grand concert, and has also been soloist

with Soldi'* Orchestra. Signor do Macchi. concert pianist and director, recently came to this country from Italy. There has been quite a large sale of season tickets, and also of the reserved seats for the De PasquaJi Company. William A. Barrow* Dead. NEW YORK, Nov. 10.—William A. Burrows, once a prominent actor, is dead in this city from accidental gas asphyxiation, aged fifty-eight years. He was a native of Akron, 0., and a graduate of Columbia College. He became a law student, but soon abandoned the law for the dramatic profession and secured a wide reputation, traveling over the country, appearing in “Hamlet.” “Othello” and other Shakspearean plays. During his career he assisted Mine. Mcdjeska when she first came here and also appeared with Mary Anderson. Claud Burrows, his brother, lost his life in the Brooklyn Theater fire in 1878 while appearing with Kate Claxton in the “Two Orphans.” After his brother's death he practically gave up his profession, appearing only at intervals. Xotf* of the Stage. English's will be dark the rest of this week. Roland Reed, supported by Isadore Rush, will appear next Monday and Tuesday nights. George Irish is here in advance of Lincoln J. Carter’s “Chattanooga,” which will be at the Park the first three days of next week, with the numerous new war features devised by Mr. Carter’s fertile brain. H. B. Warner, representing Charles Frohman. Is here In advance of Henry Miller, who makes hiss first appearance in thi.s city since he became a star, in “Heartsease” and “The Master” the last three days of next week at English's. A femur*} of “A Social Highwayman,” at the G :d this week, which it is probable the audu s do not observe, is that the actors on tne stage use real money in that first act scene. It is a real SSO-ibill which Mr. Jaffrey incloses in a note to Mr. Remsen, and the bill which Hanby steals and subsequently tries to return to his master is also genuine. As the public understands, it is, as a general thing customary to use merely stage money in such scenes, but it is Mr. Beilows's rule to make the productions as realistic in every detail and as natural as possible. “A Social Highwayman” will be given for the last times to-night and to-morrow* matinee and night. “The Lost Paradise,” which follows it next week, will give the stock company more work than any previous production. It will enlist the services of the largest cast yet seen during the stock season, and It requires a wider range of action than usual. WRECKS ON THE LAKES ♦ - SEVERAL VESSELS LOST AND A NUMBER OF SAILORS DROWNED. . Schooner Pounded to Piece* Near Chicago and None of the Crew Saved—Storm In Michigan. ♦ CHICAGO, Nov. 10.—Water-logged and unfit to weather a storm upon the lakes, the S. Thai, a tramp two-masted schooner, foundered off Glencoe in the gale of Wednesday night and went to pieces in the surf. This morning the wreckage was cast up on the beach, but no trace of the crew has been found, and it is thought that all went down after cutting loose from the wreck, in the ship’s dory. The schooner is a total wreck. There are scarcely two timbers left together to indicate her dimensions. That she foundered, and went to pieces on the sandbars some distance out in the lake is evidenced by the wreckage which covers the shore from Ravinia to Wilmette, a distance of nearly seven miles. The hull has disappeared and is supposed to be resting on the burs just in shoi’e from where the schooner was seen to drop anchor shortly before the storm broke Wednesday afternoon. The storm to-day was even worse than that of Oct. 25 and 28. The wind blew sixty miles an hour. The schooner Iron Clift broke from her anchorage and was blown out to sea. The life savers at once went to the rescue of the crew. The lifeboat was nearly swamped several times, but after a long and hard struggle the crew succeeded in getting her under the lee of the Iron Ciifi, which by this time was nearly waterlogged and evidently sinking. One by one the seven men composing the crew of the Iron Cliff jumped into the waves and w'ere dragged inro tne lifeboat. Some of the men were unconscious when rescued. Soon after the Iron Cliff sank in shallow water. She will probably be a total loss. Huge waves are tearing great holes in the sea wall and the paved beach along the lake front. The Lincoln Park commissioners had just got well under way repairing the serious damage done by the storm of Oct. 25, but the heavy breakers have now put the whole shore line in a worse shape than ever. The action of the waves has undermined the outer driveway in Lincoln Park after washing and displacing the heavy granite blocks with which the beach is paved. Along the north shore drive from Byron street south the water ran across the roadway and made it impassable. The surf played havoc with the sea wall on the lake shore drive and ate its way into the dirt embankment.

Furious Storm In Michigan. DETROIT, Nov. 10.—Dispatches from various points indicate a general and furious storm throughout Michigan to-day, particularly the southwestern part of the State. In this portion from two to ten Inches of snow are reported, and it is still falling. At Grand Rapids and at Decatur fully ten inches is reported. The telegraph service is seriously impaired and reliable news is scarce. Telegraph and telephone poles have been blown down for twelve miles south of Saginaw', according to un account sent from Saginaw' by train to Flint and wired from there. All trains in the southwestern portion of the State are delayed, as well as many in other imrts. Two Ve**el and Crew* Ml**lti|g. PORT HURON, Mich., Nov. 10.-The steamer C. F. Curtis and three consorts, bound down, were struck by the gale on Lake Huron near Sand Beach this morning. The Fassett finally w'ent ashore near Sand Beach and the life saving crew from that point succeeded in getting all the men off without loss of life. The Fassett is in good condition and will weather the gale. The Holland and Reed have not reached here at a late hour to-night and fears are felt for their crews. Tugs have been sent to search for the missing boats. The captain of the Curtis, which has arrived here, reports the worst storm he has ever experienced. Four Men lo**lbly I.o*t. MICHIGAN CITY, Ind., Nov. 10.—A schooner went ashore this afternoon five miles north of New Buffalo, Mich. Just before dark four men were seen hanging on the rigging, where they had been driven hy the seas which were washing over the craft. The life-saving crew from St. Joseph was then making an effort to rescue them. The vessel Is supposed to be the M. Netlson. lumber laden from Ludington, for Chicago. SEIZED BY CANADIANS. Dawson Authorities \llegeri to Have Taken American Steamer*. SEATTLE. Wash., Nov. 10.—A report comes from Dawson lhat the Canadian government has seized two steamers and two barges of the Yukon river fleet of the Boston and Alaska Transportation Company for breach of contract. The company, it is claimed, contracted to deliver the government goods in July, but did not fulfill the contract until September. Captain Blakely, of one of the barks, is reported to be in jail at Dawson, charged with broaching cargoes. He is accused of making away with a quantity of whisky belonging to Donohue & Cos. Return of Surveyor*. SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 10.—Capt. W. B. Abercrombie, U. S. A., and his surveying party arrived to-day on the steam schooner Excelsior from Copper river. Alaska. The party claim to have cut a trail from Valdes to Copper river, which does away with the dangtrous trip over the glacier and shortens the distance sixty miles. Captain Abercrombie reports rich gold finds in the interior.

HOLIDAY AIR TO STORES * NOVELTIES IN SILKS, TRIMMINGS, GLOVES AND DAINTIES. ♦ A Handsome Gown for an Anderson Woman—Ba*q ue* Are Again Worn. * -WW The merchants were not a little disappointed in the trade during the chrysanthemum show. They looked forward to it as a week when outside people would take advantage of the low railroad rates and come to Indianapolis to purchase winter clothing, as well as do their holiday shopping. Had the weather been fine, there is no doubt but the results would have been favorable, but as yet very few railroad fares have been refunded to purchasers of twenty-five dollars’ worth or more. The different stores in Indianapolis are beginning to take on a holiday air and the novelties of the season are displayed in various fabrics, silks, trimmings, gloves, etc. The dress-goods counter and dressmaking departments are perhaps the busiest places right now, except the ready-made-garments department. Dame Fashion has decreed that the cloth-tfinished material, whether called broad, ladies’, Venetian or covert doth, is exceedingly stylish, and it is not only to be made up for street gowns, but for carriage, reception, theater or house gowns as well. A novelty velour shown would make up handsomely. It is a combination of blue and black, with a zigzag design in souffle. Another stylish thing is a frisse, In turquoise and black, with a bayadere strip. Novelties in red goods are exceedingly stylish, and the demand is almost greater than the manufacturers can supply. All the new reds are shown in combination with black, in the souffle or serpentine effects. A velour in black, w'ith just a dash of green, or a souffle crepon with Chartreux silk on a black background, makes a lovely costume. Cote de Cheval is an entirely new fabric shown in Indianapolis this season. It is similar to the Bedford cord worn some time ago, only the wale is wider and it comes in mixed colors, in electric green, olive green, brown, navy blue and beige. Another thing showji here tor the first time is a red brllilaruine or mohair for waists. Koval blue is also new in this material. Basques will be worn considerably this season with the long tail effects in the back. At first the Indianapolis people were in doubt about them, but they are so fashionable in New r York and P rls and London, where people go to the extreme with them, that they have been adopted here by some society people, who are satisfied that they do not look so bad after all. The round waists, however, are still popular. In spite of all the delightfully new effects of the long backs. At the coming horse show in New York, where every one dresses elaborately, it is predicted that two distinct styles will be seen—that of the strictly English tailor-made and the more elaborate gown of French ideas. DRESSY SILK WAISTS. The new’ silk waists now being displayed are very dressy and are shown in all the new r color effects, for both evening and day wear. The polka-dotted taffeta and Liberty satin are pretty. Black, navy and nationul blue, bright and nut browns, grass and Russian green, mauve and purple or scarlet and deeper red are fashionable colors. A.l odd silk waists are worn with a belt, and many lines of stitching are shown as a trimming, and the lining fits snug, although the outside fronts are loose, but not baggy. Black satin belts, with brill ant buckles, are the rage, as they make the waistline look rounder and smaller. All the dress waists, except the tailor-made, have some soft and gracefully arranged front or guimp of plisse or devunts. These plisse assortments are really amazing in their variety and point of delicacy. They are of dainty eordings, tuckmgs, snirrings and hemstitching, combined with lace, ribbon or chenille. A trimming which will be worn considerably this season is an imitation of fur. The trimming is sometimes encircled by an edging of narrow pearl, chenille or gold bordering, and is used on evening waists. A trimming which is always popular is silk or wool galloon An improvement on the old is the thread running down the center of the galloon left loose, so the braid may be put on in fancy designs. Tne millinery departments in the Indianapolis stores this week look exceedingly gay. Whatever else a woman wears, her hut must be a thing of taste and elegance. At one of the midseason's openings immense roses are one of the additions to the earlier autumn openings and come in all the new shades. In some of the hats the entire crown is made of these roses. One handsome imported hat was of black velvet, with the under rim of antitque velvet and the outer edge of slitter jet The French crown of velvet folds was very high and trimmed in the pompadour effect with ostrich feathers and white roses. Another hat of black velvet was a color schbme in autumn leaves and large shaded roses. Others are trimmed in soft breasts Many felt or velvet hats are bordered with sable, mink chinchilla, beaver or other furs. Heavy metal or pearl ornaments are used on all the hats. The Amazon plume is predicted to be the thing for the coming weeks, and the demand for fancy feathers is undiminished. MISS LIPMAN’S GOWNS. A few new gowns, being made for Clara Llpman, in the “Telephone Girl” company, are very handsome. One is a ball gown and is made of heavy white satin, embroidered in white silk and rhinestones in a delicate tracery of bow-knot effects, with dainty sprays and tendrills of a conventional vine intertwined. This embroidery radiates from the waist, spreading to larger proportions towards the slight flare that marks the skirt. This skirt is one of the latest cuts, fitting like a sheath over the hips and clinging to the form to below’ the knee, when it spreads slightly outward. There is a demitrain richly ornamented with embroidery, and interspersed with white tufted ribbon knots. A visiting costume of gray antique, embroidered in dark gray, tufted roses and cream-colored sprays, is very handsome. A large scarf of artistically knotted silk marks the gown as a distinct princesse design. W ith this costume, a Gainsborough hat is worn, trimmed in large ostrich feathers of gray. Another gown is a daringly original creation, dlrectoire in style. It is of satin antique, of the new capuchin tints, which can be best described as a shaded name color. It is embroidered in old gold and rhinestone sunburst ornaments. One sleeve is formed entirely of beautifully arranged capuchins, while the other ‘is a small velvet band. A_ costume just completed for an Anderson society woman was a color scheme in gray and white. The dress was made of moleskin broaucloth, elaborately trimmed in a .combination of white and gray braid, formed in bow knots and white taffeta silk with silk applique over it. It was lined throughout in turquoise blue taffeta the skirt being made over a drop skirt of the tttlietft.

A FREAK PRISONER. Refused to Speak for Six Yenrs, and Hair Grew to Fifty-Four Inches. San Francisco Chronicle. Edward J. Cunningham was released from San Quentin yesterday after serving a sentence of six years for burglary committed in Orange county, and with his liberation there passed from the prison walls one of the strangest characters that ever wore the striped garb of the penitentiary. When Cunningham was landed within the walls of San Quentin Prison he turned to the sheriff who had conducted him thither from the southern of the State and swore a heavily solemn oath that no word would escape his lips during the period of his incarceration. Little attention was paid to his strange declaration at the time. A man’s despondency takes peculiar forms at times, ana the prison attaches confidently expected Cunningham to regain his normal attitude toward the rest of his small world when he recovered from the momentary pangs that come to an offender when the prison gates close behind him. But. Cunningham stood by his oath through the long, weary years of his sentence, and his tongue never loosened until he stepped without the prison walls yesterday, a free man. Whenever it became necessary for Cunningham to communicate his needs or wants to others, he did so in writing or by motions. After being confined in the prison a short time he was thought to be insane, and was sent to the Ukiah Asyltlm. Here he was confined but a short time, for it was soon ascertained he was in his right mind and merely acting in a stubborn manner. Word w'as sent to the prison officials, and Guard Miller was sent to the asylum to bring the prisoner back. When near Santa Rosa he jumped through a car window. but was captured after a hard chase. After his return he still preserved an inviolable silence, and was put into what is known as crank alley. Here all kinds of influence was brought to bear upon him to cause him to speak, but without avail. He also refused to have his hair cut, and when released yesterday morning his hair was measured and was found to be fifty-four inches in length. When relieved of his prison garb a smile overspread his countenance. Several people spoke to him. but he only grinned. Once outside the prison gate Cunningham made up for lost time. He condemned every one around the prison for his confinement. When asked how he managed to control himself and preserve an unbroken silence for so many years, he angrily replied that he had no explanations to make. As usual Cunningham was given money enough to carry him to whatever part of the State he desired to go. He asked for a ticket to San Francisco, where he claimed he would beg for a living. Slie Wa* Impressed. New York Sun. “Really the most delicious thing I’ve seen In New York.” remarked a visiting lady from the West, "was a fine-looking policeman at Fiftv-third street and Eighth avenue the other day. meeting a pretty young lady. I’ve seen polite policemen and I have seen them how and nod and even speak to a. ladv on the street, but not as this one did. The voung woman was pretty and refined looking, and the policeman smiled as he saw her approaching. He met her near the curb, and without raising his helmet ho extended his hand with the regulation high reach and met hers extended the same way. He seemed to he pleased Immensely and the girl not less so. Having shaken hands they stopped to chat a moment, and presently the girl passed on, and the incident was dosed as far as I w'as concerned. It was the first time. too. that I ever saw' a woman shake hands with a policeman on duty and talk to him. Did you ever see anything like that?” , . The other woman, being a New York woman, nodded affirmatively and did not seem to be greatly surprised. Street RnllwvHy Tleil I p by n Strike. DALLAS.

COUNT IS MADE SLOWLY • ♦ CAW ASS OF ELECTION RETURNS WILL BE COMPLETED TO-DAY. Gains Over the Estimate* on Anilltor Smith** Plurality—The Township Reitultei. * The official canvass of the election returns is being made in Room 1 Superior Court by the election inspectors, who constitute the canvassing board. The work began yesterday morning with the election of Harry Sheets, inspector of the fourth precinct of the Sixth ward, as chairman. There was an effort to have the out townships called first, but it was voted down, and the canvass began with the first precinct of the First ward. At 1 o’clock this morning the canvass of the vote of the first six wards was completed, with the exception of the twelfth precinct of the Sixth ward. At that time the clerks had not been able to make the footings, but the indications were that there would not be a great change in the unofficial figures published in the Journal. There were gains over the estimates made of the plurality of Col. Harry B. Smith and it was estimated his plurality would be between 900 and 1,000, based on the gains over the unofficial figures. Following are revised estimates made partially on the official returns that were obtainable last night: FOR SECRETARY OF STATE. Hunt (R) 24.65S Ralston (D) - 22,088 Hunt’s plurality 2,600 FOR CONGRESS. Overstreet (R) 24,646 Bailey (D) 21,313 Overstreet’s plurality 3,3,13 FOR COUNTY CLERK Elliott (R) 23.324 Maguire (D) 21,663 Elliott’s plurality 1,671 FOR COUNTY AUDITOR. Smith (R) 22,861 Johnson (.D) 21,'j02 Smith’s plurality 969 FOR COUNTY TREASURER. ICoehne (R) 22,5% Sindlinger (D) 19,972 Koehne’s plurality 2,624 FOR THE LEGISLATURE. Glossbrenner (R) 22,960 Ayres (D) 20,356 Glossbrenner’s plurality 2,604 AUDITOR OF STATE. Hart (R) 22,985 Minor (D) 20,600 Hart’s plurality 2,385 FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL. Taylor <R) 23,326 McNutt <D) 20,213 Taylor’s plurality 3,111 FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER. McGregor (R) 22,762 Moore (.D) 21,450 McGregor’s plurality 1,312 FOR JUDGE SUPERIOR COURT. Leathers (R) ....20,392 Sullivan (D) 18,964 Leathers’s plurality 1,408 But for the fact that not enough inspectors were on hand with their returns last night greater progress would have been made in the official canvass. Deputy Clerk C. L. Hare last night asked the newspapers to urge the inspectors to appear at the courtroom this morning instead of waiting until the time they were told to come back, when the plan to be pursued was determined on yesterday. It is hoped to have the work completed by this eveniug early, and all inspectors who made th£tr returns last night were directed to return at 7:30 o’clock this evening to sign the final reports. The day passed monotonously. Col. Harry B. Smith and two or three of the other candidates had representatives present to watch the canvass and ascertain what changes it made in the unofficial ligures. Colonel Smith’s brother, Horace Smith, was looking after his interests. Mr. Smith said last night he had discovered but few changes in the figures. Representatives of the Democratic county committee were watching the tally sheets made up by the committee and comparing them with the inspectors’ returns. At no time wa.s there more than eight or ten of the 229 inspectors in the courtroom while the canvass was being made. Mr. Hare found it necessary to send messengers for the inspectors to come in so that the work might not be retarded. At 1 o’clock this morning no precincts of the Twelfth, Fourteenth or Fifteenth wards had reported, and but one from the Thirteenth. C. L. Hare and Harry B. Royse recorded the votes on the tally sheets as they were read by Messrs. Beeler, Hilligoss and other clerks who performed the monotonous work of calling off the votes, which were verified by the inspectors from their poll books as they were read.

JOINT HIGH COMMISSION. Three Absentees at the Preliminary Session In Washington. WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.—The AngloAmerican joint high commission began its sessions here to-day, having adjourned its early sessions at Quebec to meet at Washington after the elections. It was the first gathering of tna commissioners, collectively, In Washington. The absentees to-day were Sir Wilfred Laurler and Sir Louis Davies, who are detained at Quebec, and Mr. T. J. Cooiidge, of Massachusetts. The preliminary gathering to-day was in the diplomatic room of the State Department, where, after an exchange of greetings, the commission was welcomed by Secretary Hay, who accompanied the members to the White House, where they were presented to the President. The business session followed at the commission’s commodious quarters, which comprise a floor of the Arlington Hotel annex. The meeting to-day was mainly for the purpose of adopting the general plan of business to be followed here. The commission did not hold an afternoon session, but a committee consisting of Lord Hersehel. Sir Richard Cartwright and Messrs. Dingley and Kasson was in session. Owing to Mr. Kasson’s official position as reciprocity commissioner, and the prominence of Mr. Dingley in tariff affairs, it was inferred that this committee was working on questions of reciprocity. No announcement was made as to the committee work. MAY START UP SUNDAY WINDOW-GLASS WORKERS’ DISPUTE ABOUT TO lIE SETTLED. Man from Indianapolis Insane Asylum in Jail at Madison—Other Indiana Sewi. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MU NCI E, lnd., Nov. 10.—Thomas F. Hart, vice president of the American Windowglass Manufacturers’ Association, went to Pittsburg to-day to attend a meeting of the directors of the company.

Galtnglier to Be HenrreMted. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCIE, lnd., Nov. 10.—Steps are being taken to rearrest Francis Gallagher, when his sentence for the murder of James Dugan expires. Gallagher stabbed Dugan and Joseph Reed to death two and a half years ago, when a crowd of young men was fighting in the dark. He was tried first for the murder of Reed and was sentenced to twenty-one years. He was granted a newtrial and was then tried for the Dugan killing, and was sentenced to two years. The Reed charge still holds good, and the movement to rearrest him is principally the result of his bad conduct in prison. It was shown that Gallagher was taking the part of an old man in the fight, when a crowd of glass workers pounced on him In the woods. He pulled a Barlow knife and did the work. The trials attracted a great deal of attention, as Gallagher was employed in the Whiteley malleable iron works, nonunion, and the other men were union glassworkers.

Disappointed in Love. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PRINCETON, Ind., Nov. 10.—Asbury Johnson, a young man living southwest of this city, attempted to commit suicide last night by cutting his throat. He lives by himself, and was found in the attic nearly dead. A physician was sent for. but could do little for him. He will not recover.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.—The annual report of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow shows that tthere were at the close of the fiscal year 73,570 postoffices in the United States, 3,816 presidential and 69,754 fourth-class. The net increase in the number of postoffiees for the fiscal year was 2,548. The largest number of presidential postoffices is in New York, with 330, followed by Pennsylvania, with 284, Illinois 257, lowa 212 and Ohio 208. The greatest number of fourth-class postoffices are in Pennsylvania, 4,871, New York 3,394, Virginia 3,297, Ohio 3,175 and North Carolina 2,898. In compensation Massachusetts heads the list, showing an average compensation for her fourth-class postmasters of $336 per annum, followed by Rhode Island, $319, and Connecticut $283. In the amount expended per capita in the use of the mails by the people of the various States, Massachusetts stands first, with $2.30 per capita; New' York second, expending $2.27; District of Columbia, third, $2.16; Colorado fourth, $1.93, and Connecticut fifth, SI.BO, Lowest in this table are South Carolina, 25 cents, and Mississippi, 34 cents. The total number of appointments made during tne fiscal year was 25,653. An interesting feature of the report relates to the postal facilities for Alaska. Inspectors were detailed to reorganize the mail service in this Territory, which resulted in the establishment of a line of postoffices from the Canadian borders to the Bering sea, a distance of about 2,000 miles, and many other needed improvements were made in the mail service of Alaska upon the recommendation of these inspectors. Among the recommendations are that a severe penalty be provided for employes embezzling or destroying newspaper mail, covering the transmission of "green goods’’ and obscene matter through the malts, and that a special strong stamped 10-cent envelope of superior material be adopted in lieu of the present system of registering letters. Many losses occur in the malls because of the poor quality of the envelope in which the articles are inclosed. It is also recommended that all money-or-der offices be inspected annually’, which would be a radical extension of the inspection system, and it is stated would doubtless be of great advantage to the service. HOBSON’S II It OTHER HAZED. West Pointers Made Him Recite the Hero’s Exploits. New York Journal. To a modest man nothing is more dreadful than the recital of his own or his family’s merits. Young James Marceilus Hobson, jr., is modest, and, therefore, when the West Pointers sought the most painful form of hazing to inflict on him they made him read the newspaper articles that recounted his brother's exploits aloud to the assembled classes. When the name "Hobson” occurred they made him point with his Index finger to his breast and say, "That is me!” Then, too, he must memorize the article and be ready to recite It with appropriate gestures upon the first call. Roses do not strew the path of younger brothers of great men. The American is against giving credit that ieu't earned and

Cadet Hobson, of the fourth class, known among their fellows as the “plebes,” is now engaged In expiating the unpardonable sin of having a brother who is distinguished before ho himself has had an opportunity to do anything. James Hobson entered the academy on June 29 last, just about the time Richmond •Pearson Hobson was jumping into fame. The "plebe” knew that It is the fate of his kind to be hazed and expected It, but ho was not expecting the precise new phase of the time-honored custom that came his way. It all happened in camp during the summer months, as, by custom, hazing ceases in barracks. Young Hobson, judging from his appearance, is not the easiest mark in the world for such attentions as the upper class men bestow on the innocents. He is nearly six feet tall, broad-shouldered, with dark, strong features and a square chin. There Is resolution expressed in his face that should act as a danger signal to the overconfident. He comes from Alabama, and his volte and manner are typical of the Southerner. When he carne in yesterday from the Infantry skirmish drill that.the fourth class men have to undergo, among other humiliations, he was asked about his hazing experience. He. spoke of it gravely, for thers is a certain notable seriousness attached to such things at West Point. “So they say that I was singled out sos harsh treatment,” he commenced. ‘‘l wish you’d contradict this report that created such a wrong Impression. Os course I went through the usual Initiation with the rest, I received no more attention at the hand* of the upper class men, though, than was my share. “Whatever notice I got the others got, and I am certain my family connections had no influence in the matter whatever. I must say that the men of the higher classes did nothing in their treatment of me that was not perfectly gentlemanly.”

MAKING A KING’S BED. Fussy Methods Pursued In Henry VIPS Reign. Baltimore Herald. Every one knows the famous tale of the princess who could not sleep because under her many mattresses a pea was lodged. In reality the ancient royalties were just as fussy, to judge from the strange rules of etiquette which surrounded the most trivial objects. The following is a truo account of the way his Majesty Henry VII had his royal bed made. It is taken from an old manuscript and it is* certainly amusing: "The curtains must be drawn and a gentleman usher must hold the curtains together; then must two squires of the body stand at the bed's head and two yeomen of the crown at the bed’s feet, and uJI the stuff be laid safe at the bed s feet on a carpet till the contents of the palliasse be remade. Then a yeoman to leap upon the bed and roll him up and down and array the litter; then to lay down the canvua again, then the feather bed, and beat it well and make it even and smooth. Then take the fustian (underblanket) and east It upon the bed without any wrinkles, and the sheet In the same wise.” The sheet is now stroked smooth, tucked under the feather bed and over it is laid “t’other stuff,” that Is to say, the upper sheet blankets and fustian and the covering of marten's fur ar.d ermine. A sheet of rennes was laid on the spot destined for the pillows, and a largo run of ermine was placed over the bed, and the bed clothed were brought up to the edge of the pillow and neatly turned down. Finally “a yeoman wes required to beat the pillows and to throw’ them up to ’squires to lay them on the bed head, as pleased the King’s grace." No wonder that 'squires, gentlemen and yeomen retired after these efforts and, aa the chronicler assures us, had a good drink.
