F;-.pciaI to the lifliar.a;olis Jrr.al. PORTLAND, Ind.. March 31.-Fifteen h:indred people were at the railway station this evening to witness the arrival of Lucy Haven, of La port e, the four-hundred-pound fat girl, who came here to meet Dr. Deeter, of Union City. They were to have been married at Fnion City in the opera house this afternoon, but the girl took the wrong route and was stranded until mney was sent her. Deeter Is seventy-six .years old. He Is a Dunkard, and has not shaved or had his hair cut for fifty years. He met his monster bride as she stepped from the coach and saluted her while the crowd cheered, everybody on the train taking a hand in the proceedings. The girl is about twenty-eight years old and is as wide as she is tall. She was. finally got in an omnibus and taken to the home of Deeter's son-in-law. L. Sherburn. They will remain until 1 o'clock in the morning, going then to Union City. Deeter made a speech at the station, in which he said: "Curiosity led Columbus to discover America, Franklin to discover bottled lightning, Fulton the power of steam and a crowd to lose Its senses." Hundreds of people visited the Sherburn home during the afternoon and evening, and viewed the strangely assorted pair, who will soon be man and wife. 3IIM:itS MAY -NOT IMG COAL. Effect of n Report That Work Would . lie Stopped Tlii Week. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAFTE. Ind., March St. There is a probability that work will not be continued In many of the mines In the State this week notwithstanding that an Informal agreement was arrived at by the nearly one hundred miners delegates and the operators to continue work pending final settlement, when an adjournment of the joint convention was had last Wednesday until next Tuesday. Both the operators and miners, who had been in perfect good humor, decided that It would be better for the men to continue at work, the terms for their labor to be on the basis of the contract as finally agreed on. It was remarked that one clause In the wages contract of last year, and which had been accepted for this year, provided that whenever there should be a dispute at a mine, or In a particular field, that work shouli not be suspended pending a final settlement by arbitration. On that principle the miners and operators thought that work should be continued this week. The agreement was informal, but the delegates were to report it on their arrival home. The trouble was first caused by the publication in the Terre Haute papers that as the Joint convention had adjourned over the first of the month there would be a suspension of operations at the end of th scale year, which was with tho month of March. Then the Associated Press sent out a report from here that work would be suspended. The result has been that ir. some fields In the; State the men do not accept the agreement and have announcd that thy will not work until the annual contract is signed. President Van Horn says he hopes and believes that the agreement will be respected in most of the fields In the State. To make the effort more difficult the Evening Gazette of yesterday quoted him as saying he had heard from all parts of the State and that there would be no work, whereas he says he told tho reporter that he thought the agreement would be generally adhered to. To-morrow is the eight-hour-day holiday. There will be no work anywhere, and it will not be known until Tuesday how many places the miners-will work pending the final settlement. SALOON KEEPER'S STORY. Machine That Timely Played "I'll Leave My Happy Home for Yon." Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind., March 31. One of the stipulations in the remonstrance presented to the city authorities by the "Good Citizens' League" Inthe recent moral reform movement established In this city was the removal of the slot machines from the saloons and cigar stores, and as a consequence many attractive and expensive machines became worthless. The proprietor of a large saloon on Main street had an experience while he was removing the machines from his place that was astonishing to himself and amusing to his patrons watching the proceedings. When he had taken out all the small ones he came to the last machine to which he had become very much attached and innocently remarked that he regretted (very much) to part with It. The machine was of a fine pattern and very expensive, so constructed that it would execute a charming musical selection when the innocent party failed to strike the lucky number, giving as it were, some consolation. He picked up the machine and carried It to a room in the rear of his place, and in setting it down with ii (sudfleni jar, caused the mechanism to move anil he was startled to hear the familiar strains of "I'll Leave my Happy Home for You." Tin? proprietor is of the opinion that the machine has also reformed. I'nrokt in .Mexico. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WABASH. Ind., March 31: Dr. Helen Mcllvaine. daughter of Major M. H.

New York Car Conductor Who I an Expert Yentrilociuitrt. New York Press. It was in a late Saturday night "electric," as they call trolley cars In Boston. Among the few passengers was one who was taking his Jag home with him, and he seemed determined to make as much of a nuisance of himself In the car as he would a little later at home. An old man got on with a market basket and sat down next to the befuddled fellow, placing the basket between them. There was plenty of room for the basket, but "His Jaglets" didn't like it, and he looked and acteel as if he intended to make trouble for the old man. bolstering himself up on the seat with one hand, he began to poke at the basket with tho other, when a beautiful bass growl arose from the depths of the basket. Tho inquisitive man looked scared and Jerked his hand back. Just then the conductor Herbert Cross Catchpole was his name came In to collect the fare from the old man. As Catchpole put out his hand to take the nickel a fiercer growl than ever came from the basket. Catchpole didn't seem to be afraid, and he lifted the cover of the basket a little, when there was barking and growling, lly this time the curiosity of the drunken man was well under way. and he lurched toward the conductor, remarking: "Thash dog in there?" "Yes. and you'd better look out' answered the conductor. Hut with a recklessness born of too many drinks the' man rrado two or three passes at the basket with his fist, and finally ucceedetl in knocking It off to the floor. The cover rolled ort. and-nothlng came out of the basket. The passengers roared with laughter, and the man, after a look of stupid astonishment, turned up his collar and went out on the front platform, where he rode for the rest of the trip. The secret of those growls lay with Catchpole, who is a ventriloquist, and who had used his powers for the protection of the ohl man. who was going to market, late though in the evening as it w.m Catchpole had given the wink to the old ! man. wno understood tne game. So did most of the other passengers, for Catchpole's knack of "tnrowing" his voice is well known to those who regularly ride on his line. A few days afterward a fuse burned out on the car. and the motorman got down under the car to replace It. While he was there Catchpole got a stick and began to poke under the ear. Immediately were heard the yelps of a dog. A crowd gathered, and all sorts of suggestions were made as how best to pet that dog out. Finally, the motorman. having replaced the fuse, came out from uneler, and he and the conductor startetl to return to the car, whereupon several women who were In th" crowd protested vigorously that the cir ought not to be started until the dog had been taken out. him go under the car, and the motorman turned on the current, the car started forward, and several agonizing yelps were heard. Hut when the car had passed the space no hide- nor hair of the dog could be seen, and the crowd realized that it had Leen "sohl." Ice Plleel In HuKe l'vra mid,. LA CROSSE. Wis.. March 31.

INTEREST IN ELECTIONS

OHIO'S MI MCIPAL CONTESTS OF I .- L'Sl'AL I.MIMIHTAXCI-:. State and .National Poll ties Involved The Finlit at Cleveland MlehiKnmlerw to Vote. CINCINNATI, March SI. Municipal and township elections will be held all over Ohio to-morrow. The' most notable excepti on is that of Cincinnati, where a full ticket was elected one year ago for thre-e years. Considerable interest, however, is taken here in the suburban elections as these places have persistently opposed annexation. These local elections have quite a bearing on State and national politics, !n which Governor Nash und Senator Foraker, who . are both candidates for re-election, are taking an active part. In some counties nominations for members of the Legislature are made by popular vote at the April election. The Legislature that is selected next November will choose a successor to Foraker. At the same election Governor Nash will be a candidate for a second term, and especial interest is beins taken at Columbus on this account. Taylor and Hlnkle are candidates for mayor at Columbus. H. C. Taylor is a lifelong personal friend of Governor Nash and presented the name of Nash to the state convention two years ;;go when he was nominated. On the result at Columbus to-morrow may depend results for the Democrats also, as Hinkle is the special filend'-of ex-Congressman l.ientz, who aspires to the governorship. In Cleveland ex-Congressman Tom L. Johnson ls making his start for the senatorship by running for mayor, and in Toledo Mayor Sam Jones is running for a third term. State Election In Michigan. DETROIT, Mich., March 31.-The state election for justice of the Michigan Supreme Court and two regents of the State University will be held to-morrow. Neither Judge Allen A.

The number of bicycles being manufactured to-day Is greater than ever before since it came Into popular use. Fortunately, It is no longer a fad of the idle and the excessively rich, or the victim of the crank. It is no longer ridden for notoriety and foolish display, nor to serve the purpose of self-advertisement of those who were born not many removes from their gibbering prototypes. The silly and vain specimens of ill-constructed humanity no longer use It as a method of slow suicide which will, be described in detail In the dally press, or to win a bag of vulgar prize money, offeretl in the Interest of vulgar advertisement and personal greyed. It has success fully withstood and nobly survived all theo obstacles to its popular adoption, and stands to-day the best beloved and most loyally supported contribution to the needs, the health and the happiness of modern life. No one can say any longer that vanity, pride or vulgarity monopolize It, for It has gloriously delivered itself from all contact with these, and receives Its patronage to-day from those who use it because they need it and love it, and honor It by their sensible appreciation and reasonable enthusiasm. We congratulate the sensible men and women of this country that the time has come, and so speedily, when coarseness in, any form or expression is no longer connected with this splendid Invention, which is so well adapted to meet the needs and to add to the health and pleasure of the people. Cnrgoew That Kill. New York Herald. "You elon't know how much you can detest the smell of coffee until you have been on board a cargo steamer laden with the green berry," said the captain of a trading vessel, quoted In Answers. "For a week or ten elays it isn't so bad in fact, it's rather a pleasant smell, that of the green berry; but after that it begins to worry you. In damp weather, if it's a long voyage, it's something terrible. I've seen a whole ship's crew nearly crazy, and unable to touch any food, simply because of the coffee, which se-ems to Impregnate everything on board. "Some other cargoes are Just as bad. Sugar, for Instance. Didn't suppose there was any smell in sugar, eh? Well, you take it In a bowl, and there isn't. But take a cargo of it. and let it steam in a temperature of from VO to 110. and It's worse than coffee. I've felt sometimes as if I could drink a gallon of vinegar flavored

with lemon juice, just to ,take the sweet taste out of my mouth. "But pine lumber is the- worst. I remember one voyage when we had a cargo of pine, and before we had been out of port many days the resin from the wood seemed to have got Into everything. We could taste it in the water, and it was almost impossible to drink it at all, and we were all pirched with thirst. Three of the men died of fever, and when we got inti port again we were the worst looking set of men you ever set eyes upon. It wa3 months before I could get rid of the effects myself."

NEIGHBORHOOD VIEW. Nebraska Appreciation of FunMon's Worth and Achievements. Nebraska State Journal. The feat of the little general from Kansas, Fred Funston, explorer, Journalist, Cuban insurrector and volunteer soldier In the Spanish war will, as Governor Stanley suggests, lift the cloud from that long-suf-fcrins State and compensate her for the humiliations the cranks like Jerry Simpson and Mrs. JCatlon have put upon her for the past dozen years. Taking ten of his picked men and a squad of native scouts that he trusted, the enterprising general disappeared in the wilderness two or three weeks ago with the avowed intention of bringing Aguinaldo back to the reservation. Many Cassandras prophesied that the general would come to grief, that his plan was too complicated and uncertain to succeed, that the Filipinos who accompanied him as his alleged captors would sell him to the enemy, that his force was too small and he would be overpowered and destroyed with the halrbrained adventurers that went out with him. But in due course of time the little man with his followers comes back with the chief of the insurgents who has baffled all our ccmmamlers in hiding out in the mountains for so many months. The moral effect of Aguinaldo" s capture will be valuable, however little he has contributed to the strength of his cause on the battle field. He was no fighter himself, but he had faculty for promoting the fighting proclivities of his following which gave him an Importance far beyond his merits either as a commander or an organizer. He is an agitator, an utterer of sonorous phrases anil a Fhrewd liar ami has furnished a great deal of political pabulum to a certain class of agitators here in the United States.

FUTURE OF THE CUBANS

GEN. FITHIGH LEE SAYS THEY WILL tilVE SELF-MILE A TRIAL. If They Cannot Conduct n Stable Government Their Destiny Will lie S-'or-ccr Cared for by This Nation. OMAHA. Neb.. March Sl.-General Fitzhugh Lee for the first time since his retirement from the army has given expression to his views with regard to the future of Cuba. The occasion was the banquet given In his honor at the Omaha Club. After referring to Ids services as consul general and In the army in that Island, he said: "More than ever must there be an exercise of patriotism in its highest sense by the citizens of the Fnited States. The ship of state has extended its sailing, chart to parts of the world undreamed of until recently as being in its course. The Philippines are ours by treaty and their future, so far as the United States is concerned should be duly eletermined by Omgress after and not before, the armed resistance to the authority cf the United States has ceased. The splendid exploit of Funston throws a brilliant light upon the coming path of peace. "Porto Rico is ours by conquest, while Cuba has its status fixed by the Teller resolution in the act declaring war against Spain. Upon that resolution the United States disclaims any Intention of exercising sovereignty, jurisdiction or control over the island of Cuba, except for the pacification thereof and when that Is accomplished the government of the island should be turned over to Its own people. That solemn declaration is binding on our government and. in my opinion, will be and should be rigidly adhered to. "The expenditure of treasure and blood, the dead American soldie rs and sailors, the geographical location of the i3land. the large interests held by the Americans, Spanish, English. German. French and indeed the Cubans themselves demand that the island should not onlv be pacified, but be permanently pacified. The pleoge of the United States does not demand that American control eir supervision be absolutely withdrawn if the United States from evidence before the proper department believes that the Cubans will tight among themselves before or shortly after the American soldiers now in Cuba stack their muskets on American soil. "The war was waged to make Spain withdraw its land and naval forces from Cuba and relinquish its authority on the Island. That having been accomplished the United States is now concerned in upholding its solemn pledge of pacification in the interest of all. "Cuba will agree In time to the conditions imposed by the Piatt amendment in the interests of its own independence and in order that the United States can faithfully maintain the pledged pacification of the island. Thirty-one members were elected, or rather selected, from the whole Island to constitute a constitutional convention. When its work is completed the organization of a government should follow and when that ls accomplished the jurisdiction and control of the island will undoubtedly be turne! over to the Cubans. The foreign and other property-holders want protection and peace. The majority of Cubans, constituting the agriculturists, are apparently ignorant that a convention Is in session and It ls most difficult to make them vote on any eiuestion. Many portions of China did not know a war was In progress with Japan; so many Cubans pay no attention to the war of words of the convention. The ex-Cuban soldiers are active and more or less excited. When the time comes to fill the government offices they will be heard from 'often and early.' "Cuba's future will be determined by Cuba's statesmanship. Should the collective Cuban wisdom be sufficient to keep the craft afloat on the waters of prosperity and establish a stable government streng enough to protect life and property and give confidence to capital there will be no disposition on the part of the United States to Interfere; but If the government problem cannot be solved after a fair trial by the Cubans the future destiny of the Island will be forever confided to the care of the great American Republic." WITH THE GLASS EYES. Some TlilnRN Xot Generally Known About Them. Kansas City Journal. All of you probably have seen in passing along the main streets down town windows or show cases in which are exhibited glass eyes artificial organs of sight which are sightless but not unsightly. There are sometimes great quantities shown, and they are of all shades, from gray and pale blue to brown and hazel and black. And the variety seems endless; there are apparently no two alike. Perhaps you wonder where they come from and why they vary so much. It is a matter of fact that any dealer will assert that no two eyes are alike, and that the best ones come from Germany, with a few from France. But Germany is the great eye country, and the trade over there is a science. It is also a secret. It Involves certain methods which are jealously guarded and are transmitted from father to son. Without these secrets the vreat success In making a glass eye Is lacking-, and that is why the finest cannot be made here. Said one of these dealers chatting of his wares: "It is a fact that we have to Import the most of our eyes, because we cannot learn the secret of their making. There is something we in America have to learn and want to learn, but we can't do it. If we could we could make the finest eves on earth . and we wouldn't have to look to Germany or France, as we do now. I wish we could; we would make artificial eyes much cheaper. "It isn't that Americans can't make good eyes, for they do so far as they go. They get a good shape to them and an excellent coloring, but when It comes to the glaze they are off. The glaze we put on Is soft and without the luster that the foreign eyes have, and besides not being strictly natural it soon wears off. It might be impossible fe the difference between our eyes and tne foreign to be told at once, but time would soon show It." "Why don't Americans go over and learn this?" he was asked. "Ah. that's it. They have tried often, but they can't do it. You see, the method has become a .tradithn In certain families, and it is handed down through the generations and guarded most sedulously. It isn't possible to capture it. Of course, I suppose some day some of the possessors of the secret will come over here and go broke and sell it. but none has done so yet. And it is a trade secret It can't be obtained. I had a friend who wanted to learn it, and he went over there and even lived in the family of an eyernaker for two years, but do you suppose he learned? Not he. They never let out a word of their craft, ami though he spent lots of money, he couldn't catch on to the work. Father passes It on to son, and so It Is kept. They know Its vi,! ue.' The dealer took out a tray of eyes that looked uncannily up at the visitor and stared In ghostly fashion. Then he took another and another, dusting them lightly as he replaced them. "I have several thousand glass eyes in stock," he said, finally, "an el no two of them are exactly alke. In these trays ar. brown and blue and gray and black and hazel and violet and even green eyes. They scold and they weep, they smile and thty storm, and some of them are quiet and some fiery. The longer you biejk at them the jnore human they become. They are beauties, some of them, and they cost good money, too." "Rut why 'no two alike?" "Did you ever see two human eyes alike? No. of course you didn't. They don't come that way. No person has eyes like another's, and no person's two eyes are exactly alike. One Is smaller or deeper set, or something, than the other. Did yov ever nctice that? Well, we have to treat artificial eyes just as we would real enes; we must study the face, and the good eye, and note the difference, and work over a thousand sometimes before we find the one that exactly matches the other one, allowing for the difference that nature has made in the two eyes. AVe have to judge of this difference from our general knowledge of faces. "We work first for shape and expression. The matter of expression in an artificial eve is really the most important, and is what is the hardest to obtain. That Is why we must have so many varieties. The expression once stcured. and the siape following, the color is the least Important. That may strike you as queer, but it ls so. Of course. I do not mean that we put a green eye to match a gray one, for we k not. But the shades sometimes of the ram color are not exactly matched; we sacrifice

And few notice that there may be the least tinge of eiifferenct letwcen the good eye and the bad one. In fact, we coaie so close in nearly all cases that I. is hard for ew.c to tell which is the real and which the artificial eye." "Brown, eyes are the easiest to fit; they are unusually one shade with the pupil a darker shade. Grays and gray-haze!s and blue-grays are the hard ones. See how varied the markings are among this let, and how each differs from all ihe others. The eyes may be ef exactly the same shade, but If tiie markings are different they will appear neit to be. I have mn.'t trouble with gray eyes, and often I have to send abroad for them. "Most folks think glass eyes are- round like marbles. They are not; they .".re the merest shell of porcelain, except for the pupil and the iris. They are hollowed into the shajH? of the eyeball, with the iris blown in the center. Some of the most expensive have the white about the ir! painted by hand, with the delicate veina tracvd in red. "How long docs a glass eye last?" "That depends. Some wear them three years, and others not three months. If one is very particular the eye must be renewed the meire often, because they do grow elull after considerable wear. Tha dust Is bad for them; It grinds Into tho polished surf. -ice and scratches it. Sudden heat after cold will crack them. It would be impossible to Pet a general time for their life. Something must be allowed for the care given them at nipht: a glass eye should never be worn in sleep; it should be taken out and put uway. "The matter of working glass eye, and moving them so that they appear natural has been simplified lately by a trick fm' ployed when the real eye is taken out. Then, a tiny glass pellet Is sewn into the center of the socket, and the Ilesh drawn up about this. In time it becomes a little projectkm In the flesh, and the eye ls made to fit over It. This nftcr practice enables a person to move the glass eye In a very natural fashion." How would you like to wear a glass eye, after this?. SOME FIRSTS AM) LASTS. CnfttialtlcK of the Opening and Oos I off of (he Civil War. New York Press. Some persons will not die in calmness and resignation until they know the names of the first men killed and wounded and tlu last killed and wounded in the civil war, and on that question controversies have waxed hot these thirty-live years. It seems pretty well settled that the first wound were received by Luther Laud and A. O. Whitney, in the Baltimore riot, though tho war did not officially begin until nearly three months later, when the Star of the West was fired on. Jacob Erwin, a' private In Company C, First New York (Lincoln) Cavalry, a Philac'.elphlan, was the first cavalryman, if not the first soldier killed In the civil war. It was in the fight at Pohick Church, Va.. on Aug. IS. pyll. In a charge on a squadron of Confederate cavalry. Captain W. H. Boyd, of Company C. commanded the Fnion side, and the Union men were victorious. There was a fight at SangMer's Station, Va., on March V). 1SG2, when a detachment of the First New York Cavalry, under First Lieutenant Harry B. Hidden, of Company H, on a reconnoltering expedition, charged a larger body of Confederate infantry. In attempting to "take" a fence over which some of the enemy had retreated. HIdden's horse refused the leap, and in running him again to the fence the lieutenant was shot in the shoulder, the wound proving mortal. Major Stevenson, in "Boots and Saddles." says: "Hidden was the first cavalry officer that fell in defense of the Union." Hidden came of a fine old New York family, and his body lies In Greenwood under a splendid monument. Major Stevenson has placed this on record: "Lee was trying to reach Lynchburg aheael of Sheridan, after the battle of Sailor's creek. Va. Custer's division had the lead of the Union forces, and that impetuous general made straight for Appomattox Station, and on the 8th of April he charged the enemy at that place. In the darkness of the night, scattering them to the winds, capturing four immense trains of cars loaded with provisions for Lee's hungry army. etc. In this charge Lieutenant Walter, First New York Cavalry, and Major Howe, First Virginia Cavalry, were killed. alter had fought his way up from the ranks, and was a brave and valuable officer." This was the last cavalry charge on the Union side, and Walter was tho last trooper killed. The last engagement of the civil wai wan at Palmetto Ranche. Tex., and the last man wounded by a. Confederate bullet was Sergeant Crocket. The first cannon was flred by Captain Abner C. Doubleday. Hypnotism nn n Dill Collector, Detroit Free Press. "There's a newspaper man in this town," said one of them the other evcnlr.;:. "cvho is a first rate fellow, but he ha fallen. Into the negligent ami nefarious cusrm of forgetting to pay what he borrows. ev.n borrow with more or less ease becau.-c 1, makes griod money, and is honest noagh. but he never thinks about paying his little debts until he has spent all his wad Thea lie only thinks of them, when some lender asks him for what is due. "One of his creditors read a storv i ot long ago that gave him a tip on wNe'i he acted, and now eight or ten of the fellows who had monej up on the negligent e.ie are all right, and the borrower is toa wary for the rest of us. "Am I one? Oh. yes, he has been owinr; me $6 for three years, but I was not en hand when the liquidation re-ferrd to occurred. But to the plan. The storv told of the powers of a hypnotist, and ope r.lght the crowd In the scheme got a hypnotist to come ti one of their offices nnd try his will on whitever subjects might offer. "It was only a chance, but among the sensatives was our negligent frlenj. ana he had cashed a good-slzeel check that day. Otherwise the meeting would have been set for another time. Well, the hypnotist had fun with his subjects for awh'!. and then the promoter of the scheme told h!m about the man who wouldn't pay. .nnd asked him to try his powers on that tdde of his character. "The hypnotist smiled and told hi? ruhject he was at a horse race and that there was a three to one shot that was a nir winner If he wanted to try a hundrd on it. "The subject was a dead game "port are! had his money out in a minute. Each creditor forthwith handed him a due bill as a ticket, and they cleaned up the hundred, all but about J2. Then the hypnotist got his mind on something else and after a lot more fun the srell was removed from all the subjects and the crowd went out to cet a drink. "The negligent eine had ether money In his pocket, but when he went down into Mi clothes and came out with a handful of due bills, he choked and gasped and left the crowd lined up to the counter wjth their tongues hanging out. The shock wai teo much for him, but he never eald a word afterwards." Hut Three Killed. GALLUP. N. M.. March 31. There were only three men in the Weaver mine at the time of the explosion yesterday. It was thought a number ef Japanese were entombed, hut this seems to have, been a mistake. The three men, as reported, tw.j white and one negro, were killed, and the workings of the mine were destroyed. Lest You Forget We Say It Yet Uneeda Biscuit
