Ylslt to the Theater The Tip ping Abomination, fppeci&l Correspondence of the Sentinel. Edinburgh, May 1. Since writing my last letter ire have left our worthy host of the Royal Hotel and gone to housekeeping in our new home at Clarendon Crescent, Where our little familv will permanently reside hereafter while the head of the hon3ehold looks af ter the interests of the American eagle. We are delightfully situated just OTtr the Dean Bridge, which crosses the rippling "water of Leith," and our windows front upon a lovely park. By the way. a peculiarity of many of the parks of Edinburgh is that they are kept inclosed, and only those who have paid a yearly fee therefor are permitted to enter tbem. We are located in the best part of the city and have for our near neighbors several very distinguished personages, among tbem a well-known nobleman and leader of the Liberal party. Party feeling runs very high here, and even more bitterness is displayed than with us, if such a thins is posnole. The country is all excitement now oyer the Irish coercion bill, which has been proposed by the Z Salisbury Ministry. In America we seldom interfere with the gatherings of the opposite party, allowing each side to hold its meetings without molestation from the other; but here it is frequently the contrary, and the opposition often make it a point to be present in large numbers and mar the proceedings by hootings, hisses, interruption?, ugly questions, and other annoyances, and sometimes wind up with a free fight all round. The leaders of the Liberal Union party (bolters from the Liberals), Chamberlain, Goecben and Lord Hartiogton, spoke here on Friday nicht to a large audience and were frequently and noisily interrupted by their Liberal opponents with cheers for Gladstone, and cries of "renegades, trat 01 s" ana similar pleasantries, an 1 the intarruptions and exclamations from the speakers' own partisan?, intended for encouragement, could have been hardly less annoy ing to an American orator than were thee marks of disapproval. Politicians here are used to these things, however, and don't seem to mind them, bat struggle along with their speechei through ah this noise and confusion. Bat politicians in all countries have tough hides and limitless cheek, as I know by experience. A few nights since a well known M. P., near here, was addressing his constituents when his Liberal opponents, who seemed to be largely in the majority in the audience, entertained him by singing "When Johnnie Comes Marching Home," ana "God Save Ireland," and greeted his speech with such encouraging remarks as "chuck him out of the window," "duck him in the river' etc. Not content with these intimations, a number of the more enthusiastic made a dash for the stage with the intention of literally carrying out these kindly suggestions, and our friend, the M. P., who had been speaking throughout all this bedlam, gathered up his notes with all speed and incontinently fled by the back door, leaving a howling and fighting mob behind him. The scene was so natnral that I felt quite at home in it, and bad only to close my eyes to imagine myself in a Seventh District Democratic Congress'onal Convention. I find it hard to keep out of politics even here, and having always been a devout worshiper at the shrine of Wm. E. Gladatone, the greatest mind the century has produced, I have, elnce arriving here and observing his glorious championship of oppressed Ireland, developed into a most intense partisan of his cause. I read all the parliamentary debates, attend all Liberal meetings, read only Liberal papers and, upon the slightest provocation, shout loud and long far "The Grand OH Man and Home Rule for Ireland." If I keep on I will be carrying a banner in the next Liberal procession. Last night "wa Liberals" had a glorious meeting at the Mosic Hall to receive the Iiight Hon. Hngh C. E. Childers, "our" member of Parliament for the Edinburgh Eonth Division. Mr. Childers is one of the leaders of the Liberal party In Great Britain, an ex-member of the Cabinet and one of the confidential advisers of Mr. Gladstone. The hall was packed to the doors with an enthusiastic audience that greeted every good point of the speakers with hearty cheers and exclamations of 'Hear! Hear!" etc I had the honor of an invitation to a seat on the platform, and at the first mention of Mr. Gladstone's name the audience rose to their feet climbed upon the seats, threw their hats to the ceiling and cheered themselves hoarse for Gladstone and Parnell. in which I joined with all the fervency of an Eleventh Ward primary. Mr. Childers made an able address, and was followed by Munro Ferguson, the Member of Parliament for Leith, quite a young man, who male a bright little speech, and the meeting concluded with a very creditable effort by Herbert Gladstone, son of "the old man," and himself also an M. P. He made an excellent speech and satisfactorily sustained the family reputation, and the audience showed their hearty appreciation by approving cries of "Bonnie lad," "Well done, Herbert," 'Three cheers for your feytherand your fey ther's son." etc I had the pleasure of an introduction to Mr. Childers and Mr. Gladstone after the adjournment, and enjoyed a pleasant chat With both the distinguished gentlemen. Edinburgh is a Liberal stronghold and the elder Gladstone himself represents the Midlothian District of this county in Parliament. What s crowning glory it will be to his well-spent life when be gives, as he t jet will, freedom to long-suffering Ireland. A glorious cause and a grand and mighty champion to give it victory. Comingevents cast their shadows before, and there is more behind this than liberty for Ireland alone. Already a strong movement is on foot here for home rule and a Scottish Parliament for Scotland. The thinking, reasoning democracy of Great Britain is at wort. They are coming, Father Gladstone, ten hundred thousand more. They are looking with longing eyes toward the example of the free and mighty republic across the sea. After Ireland, home -rule for Scotland. After Scotland comes the disestablishment of the church. Next must go the hateful laws of primogeniture and entail. Then the titles of the lords and nobles, and finally all the pomp and circumstance of royalty. And peacefully and without bloodshed, without a struggle, Great Britain will, I predict, gently glide Into a great, mighty and lasting republic, a worthy companion to her young and vigorous daughter beyond the sea. The powerful mind that is nhapisg events for these glorious results will not be there to see the birth of the new republic, but his name will go down the ages as the great statesman that made it possible; the forerunner of that which ras to come: the modern John the Baptist preaching in the r wilderness. When I et on the subject of Gladstone I am inclined to let my enthusiasm ran away with me, to the exclusion of all other subjects, and I started out to write of

F.dlnburghJ'and not to give an "English" dissertation on English politics. Sjwj will return to EdinDurgh slant-seeing one mora, and bend our footsteps to the ' Old Town" and stop .first at the ancient Cathedral of St. Giles, named in honor of the patron saint of "Edinboro' Town." It was founded in the ninth century, and was made ftmous during the reformation as the church where John Knox thundered against "the dell and all his works." John thundered to some purpose, too, for he built up a powerful following, which hts withstood the fierce assault of all its enemies and is now the ruling church of Scotland. St. Giles has many interesting associations connected with its history. It was here that the redoubted Jennr Geddes assailed the dean, when, by order of the King, he attempted to read the Collect from the offensive Liturgy of Archbishop Lsui. "The deil colie the warne of ye," said the excited Jenny, "Wad ye say mass at my log." and with that she threw her stool violently at the poor dean's head, Jenny threw her stcol with goad e fleet, for the dean not only dodged then, but King Charles, at his palace in London, also dodged, for the storm of popular indignation that followed admonished him that it was useless to further attempt to force episcopacy upoa the Scottish people. The stool of Jenny Geddes is religiously preserved in the Edinburgh Museum of Antiquity. In this church are buried the remains of the great Marquis Montrose and the "Good Regent" Moray, half brother of Mary Qu-en of Scots. James VL took leave of his people here before departing to assume the crown of England, and here are deposited the tattered battle flags of the veteran 8cottish regiments. The old "tolbooth," or jail, made celebrated by Scott as the "Heart of Midlothian," stood at the northwest corner of St. Giles, but has long since been removed. Outside the church, a little further along the street, is the celebrated "Old Cross of Edinburgh." At its base, from time immemorial, all royal proclamations have been read, and it was the meeting or gathering place on all occasions of trouble or festivity. Here Prince Charles Edward was proclaimed Regent in 174"), and near by the great Lords of Montrose and Argyle were both executed, and the famous "maiden," tbe rude guillotine used in their execution, and tbat of so many others, is still preserved in the Edinburgh Museum cf antiquity. Royal proclamations are still read from the 4 Old Cro33," and only a few days since an imping procession of heralds, pursuivant?, trumpeters, etc., marched there with much pomp rnd ceremony to read a proclamation of (jneen Victoria declaring a bank holiday. On the opposite bids of the street is the Royal Exchange, conta'ning the offices of the Lord Provost ( Major), the Municipal Council and otber city officials, and h little farther along on the other side again is the Parliament House, built in ltl2, and which was the former place of meeting for the Scottish Parliament. It is now uied by the Court of Session, or Sapreme Court of Scotland, presided over by Lord President Inglis. I might mention here that the terms "plaintiff and defendant" axe not used in the courts of Scotland, the words "pursuer and defender" being substituted. The Parliament Square contains a handsome bronzs statue of Charles IL, and is surrounded by law buildings on all sides. It was in former times the old churchyard of St. Gilee, and here are buried many ancient Scotlishmen, among them sturdy John Kcox, whose grave is indicated by a small f-lab in the pavement simply marked "J. K." A short distance further down tbe old Btreet is ths home of Knox, jast as when occupied by the great reformer. Over the door is the following inscription: "Lufe God abufe all, and yi nychtbour a yi self." The house is one of the oldest in the city and was built in the fifteenth century, long before Knox's occupancy. All these ancient landmarks I have so far mentioned are located on "the High street," in what is known as the "old town," to distinguish it from the modern part of the city. Bat it is hardly necessary to so denominate it to convey that information, the quaint oldfashioned streets and still more quaint oldfashioned houses, with their high gables and turrets, speaking for themselves of ancient and chivalric days. One long street runs the entire length of the old town from the castle to Holyrood, the main outlet for the numerous little narrow "wynds" and "closes" tbat intersect it. In the old days it waa occupied by the palaces of the aristocracy that now serve as the tenements of the poor and humble. Over many doors are still to be seen traces of faded armorial bearings. This street is called High street until it reaches the ancient bounds of the abbey authority, where it then becomes the "Canongate." A ramble through this venerable thoroughfare, little changed since the days of the Stuarts, carries one back to scenes of antiquity loDg since departed, and all around is thrown the glamour of the past At nearly every step is some old landmark recalling some interesting historical reminiscence. Entering the Canongate, after leaving the house of John Knox, we pass numerous tall tenement houses, formerly the residences of the old nobility, and come to "Moray House,'' now a normal Bchool, but which was for two hundred years the palace of the Earls of Moray. Here Oliver Cromwell made his headquarters after his capture of Edinburgh, in 1C43. and upon the balcony in front of the house stood the wedding party of the Marquis of Argyle, and jibed and mocked the great Montrose as he was drugged by to the place of execution. Bat it was not long until "the poisoned chalice" was presented to the lips of Argyle in return, and he passed the same road to his own execution. A little farther along, on the opposite side of the street, is the old "Canongate Tolbooth," or jail, built in lö'Jl. Over the entrance is the motto, "Sic itur ad astra" (this is the path to heaven), not exactly appropriate for a place of this character. At tbe east end of the building la an old stone pillar, to which scolds and slanderers were .formally fastened by an iron "jouk," or collar. Adjacent to the tolbooth is the venerable Canongate Church, built inlGSS. and in the churchyard here are buried Dagald Stewart, the poet Ferguson, Adam Smith, and many other once famous citizens of Edinburgh. Now passing out of the Canongate and leaving Holyrood on the right, we torn In the opposite direction and soon enter a broad street known as the Regent Itoad. A short walk brings us to the Barns monument, a circular memorial, containing a number of relics of the poet, and a lit'.'e further on we ascend the Calton Hill, familiar to all who have visited Edinburgh, and whence is a beautiful view of the whole city. Here are located the Royal Obseivatory, Nation. Monument, Nelson's mono men t and monuments to Dagald Stewart and Professor Playfalr. Leaving Calton Hill and turning to the right we boob enter Leith Walk, the street leading down to Leith, the seaport of Edinburg. A short distance and we come to the Registry office, in front of which stands an equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington, and where we enter rrincess street, the principal thoroughfare of the city. Just inside the beautiful Princess Gardens is the magnificent memorial to Sir Walter Scott, and along the park front are monuments to the explorer Livingston, Sir Janes Simpson, the discoverer of chloroform : Adam Black, Dean Ramsay, Professor Wilson and Allen Ramsay, the poet. In the west gardens is an ancient monument, brought from Sweden In 1737, bfaiiDg this inscription in Ranic: "Arl erected this stone for Hi aim, his father; God help bis soul." Here, on what is called the "Mound," is lecatel tbe Royal institution, containing the antiquarian museum, a sculpture gallery and a school of d sign. Adjoining this is the national gallery, an Imposing bnilding, containing a large collection ot valuable painting by tbe old masters. Leaving Prlnc ss and going next into George street, aBtroll through, it from Charlotte Square to St. Andrew's Square, and we parsed handsome monu

ments to the Prince Consort, William Pitt, Dr. Chalmers, George IV., Viscount Melville and the Earl of Hopetown, and see the houses in which Sir Walter Scott, David Home and Lord Brougham at one time lived. Returning to Princess street we go to the "old town" again, and crossing the "George IV. Bridge" come into the "Grassmarket" and the "Cowgate," now the poorest portion of the city, out once the residence of lords and nobles. The east end of the Grasmarket was for a long time the place of execution in Edinburgh, and here "half hangit Maggie Dickson' was supposed to have been hanged daring the religious prosecutions, but after being declared dead by the authorities was cat down and carried away by her friends, and after a time greatly astonished them allby opening her eyes and finally becoming completely restored. She wa for a long time one of the celebreties of Edinburgh. At the southwest corner of the Grassmarket is the "West Port," and here is shown the house in which Barke, who originated tbe detested crime of "Barking," enticed his victims before killing them for the dissecting table. A short walk from this point is the old "Grey friars Church," originally erected in 1G12, and it was here that the National Covenant was first signed in 1G33, many of the covenanters writing their signatures in their own blood. In the churchyard is the "martyrs monument," erected to those who fell in defense of that cause, and near by is the monument to Sir George MacKenzie, the bitter foe of the covenant, who, in his unrelenting pursuit of its followers, won for himself the name Of 'Bluldy MacKenzie." However, he rests quietly enough now. side by side with bis ancient enemy. After a pleasant Btroll through the bye-ways of this part of the old town, we turn into Nicolson street and come to the well-known Edinburgh University, originally founded in 152, and having thirty-three professorships, with an average attendance of over 2.000 students. The Chancellor of the University is the Iiight Hon. John Inglis. Part of the building is upon ground where stood the house in which S.r Walter Ssott was born, and part is upon the spot where once stood the "Kirk of Field,", the scene of the murder of Darnley by Bothwell and his fellow assassins. Near by is the Moss Varieties, the principal variety theater or Music Ilall of Edinburgh, where American performers are frequently to be seen. Edinburgh, with its S(tO,000 inhabitants, has but two legitimate theaters, the Lyceum and the Royal, and, naturally, I visit them quite frequently. The highest priced seats are up stairs in the "dress circle," which corresponds with our cheap teats in the "family circle ' at English's Opera-house, and the "parquette," where our best seats are located, is tbe "pit" here, or cheap part of the theater. Ladies and gentle aien occupying reserved seats in the dress circle are compelled to go in fall dress, and ladies wearing hats are not admitted to this section of the house. These have been the customs always here, and there is nothing to which the average "Britisher" clings like the habits and customs of his forefathers, and nothing strikes one so forcibly in Edinburgh as this peculiarity of the natives. The Scotchman still likes the music of the bag-pi pes, as did his father before him, and the Highland costume is frequently to be seen upon the streets. The Tartan plaid, short kilt and bare knees hardly impress one as a suitable habit for the" cold weather so prevalent here about this time of year. The Gaelec language is yet spoken mach more generally than I had imagined, and in one of the churches here the sermon and entire f ervice is in Gaelec In the Highlands, of course, it is still more in use. The national games ot Scotland seem to be "football" and "golf," and the foot-ball matches excite as much attention aa do our baseball contests. On match days the "trams" (street cars) are packed with people, bound for the foot-ball grounds. The street cars are two story affairs, with a stairway leading up to the outside, with as many seats on the top as there are on the inside. The fares on the "trams" vary according to the distance traveled, but a penny "tip" to the conductor, discreetly given, enables one to ride to the end of the Tine for a short-distance fare. One of the most disagreeable features cf European travel is this constant and continuous "tipping" necessary In hotels, cars and everywhere else. Many of the hotels pay merely nominal wages to their employes, expecting them to be paid by gratuities at the hands of the traveling public. They are not Blow to remind you oi that fact, and the departing guest is ct repelled to run a perfect gauntlet of expectant Eeryants. w. E. E.

SPRING AND WINTER WHBÄf. Weekly Crop Sommary of the Farmers' Review, of Chicago. Chic ago, May 15. The following is the weekly crop summary printed by the Farmers' Review: Our reports for the past week show that while some localities were favored with seaonable rains, others and the greater number are needing rain, and that in its continued absence crops will suffer seriously. Reports on the condition of winter wheat continue favorable. Fourteen counties in Illinois report an average condition ot IK) per cent; Marion and Williamson report injured by chinch bugs, and Boreay from drought. In Indiana, Clay, Laporte and Crawford Counties report at 100 per cen t ; Hendricks, St. Joseph and Parke as good ; Ohio as fair, aud Nob.'e as poor. In Ohio the average condition in six counties reporting by percentages is 83 per cent Brown County reports condition fair and good, And Clinton good. In Michigan six counties report an average condition of 90 per cent and Montcalm reports above the average. From Kentucky, Muhlenburg, Nelson and Trimble Counties report the condition at 103 per cent.; Whitley County, 95 per cent; Crittenden and Lawrence, fair, and WebBter good.. From seven counties in Missouri it is reported an average condition of 108 per cent,, three report good and one below the average. From Kansas eight counties report an average condition of 70 per cent. Chautaqua and Graham report condition good, Nesse reports poor, and Cherokee damaged by chinchbugs. Reports from the winter wheat counties in Wisconsin Indicate a condition of 75 to 80 per cent. The spring wheat-growing territory gives the following figures: Ten Iowa counties report an average condition of 00 per cent. ; two report good, one above the average and one below. From Minnesota nine connties report the condition fair to goad. Seven counties in Dakota report a full average condition, and the same is true of six countlea reporting from Nebraska. While the showing on the whole is fairly good for the time these reports were forwarded, it remains a fact that continued dry weather will materially reduce these percentages of condition. Throughout almost the entire territory covered by our reports, tbe meadows and pastures are reported as needing rain. The New Albany Federal Building. New Albahy, May 1G. Hon. S. M. Stocksls per, Assistant Commissioner of the General Land Ollice, Washington City, and Hon. A. P. Charles, past grand master of the Grand Lodge of Marens of Indiana, will deliver addresses at the laying of the cornerBtone of tbe Government bnilding in this city, on the 21st. Mr. Stockslager, while a member of Congress from this district, got the bill for the appropriation for the Government building here through Congress. "Caveat Emptor," the phrase It is Latin, it means "let the buyer beware," A maxim in law which comes rather pat, in Tbe truth that I wish to declare; Whene'er an invention that's good for prevention Or pain has a popular fame. You'll find, in all nations, arise Imitations Palmed off "just as good," or "the same."

A SEANCE EXPOSURE.

Ludicrous Situation cf a Bjgus Epiritmliatic Medium at Kokorno. Yirioui Special Dispatches From All Qurt;ra of tho St&tf. Implied on a Red in Ohio Doctor Bacomes Iisins at Anderson. Bitten by a Copperhead-Toe Army Worm Death of a Yoasg- Lady Donation to WariMMh College. Kok-Omo, May 15. It has been some two years since Dr. D. Hulbert came here from Battle Creek, Mich., and opened the "Kokorno Medical Dispensary," at his dwelling on North Main street. The Doctor is quite an old man, and his wife is a middle-aed lady. Since living here they have each written occasional articles of strong spiritualistic tone for the local press. They aie intelligent people and their productions quite readable. For tbe past few months private seances have been held in an upper room of the Hulbert mansion, from time to time, as a medium could be procured. At each meeting a few persons were invited to attend and pay an admission fee at the door. A few people, of more or less prominence, gradually became interested, and finally, converted to spiritualism, became frequent attendants at the seances, fully believing that the epirits of their departed friends materialized 'n their presence and that they were permitted to shake hands and engage in conversation with them. To these innocent believers in the delusion this was a pleasure well worth the paltry dollar it cost to gain admittance to the charmed circle. At different times the wonderful things being done in that mysterious upper chamber would become noised about town, cause a little ripple of a sensation, arouse a few more curious ones who would go and "see for themselves," and the thir g was soon forgotten sgain. Meantime the circle grew in numerical strength and faith. To the doctor this meant converts and cash. The seances became frequent and well attended. Bat now comes the culmination of the whole matter. Two weeks ago a man of perhaps thirty-five or forty years of age appeared on tbe scene, and announced himself as C. E. Win ans, clairvoyant and test medium, and hailing from Eiinburg, Ind. He held materializing seances almost nightly up to Friday evening, at the Hulbert house. The manifestations, if genuine, were truly wonderful. The most incredulous were mystified at what they beheld. Their skepticism almost vanished for the time. But Friday J. W. Barnes, County Superintendent; H. E. Henderson, of the Dispatch; Sherman McCune, Charley Havens and James Crilley made up their minds to obtain admittance and test the genuinen?: of the whole matter. Accordingly they were all on hand at the appointed time. Mr. Winan's clothing was sown last to the chair in which he sat, his pants stitched together at the knees, his bands filled with cornmeal and tightly closed. Then the curtains were drawn and the lights extinguished, save a very dim light, arranged to give certain e 2 eels. After several manifestions Mr. Barnes struck a match and Mr. McCune made a rush for the medium, who tried to keep him out and struck him a blow with his fst. The medium had removed Iiis pants and his shirt was tied around his waif t. When he found he was caught he sank down and laid in a state of apparant unconsciousness until he was arrested. He is now la jail awaiting his trial this evening on the charge of fraud. When the affair became known on the streets this morning it was soon the topic of conversation all over town. The 11 Ulberts admit to-day that the thing is fraudulent, but how they could go on from day to day for months assisting in deluding others aud not sooner detect its true character is what puzzles the community. Mr. Winans. the prisoner, is of a good familv, and has formerly borne a fair reputation. He says this is the second time he I L... mnnhl in hlO VQV STIfl npnifl lias ur' ii tauuo iu ling i uj , uv vwahe will qnlt the business. The Chtlsiiat. iftinlgterial Association. Wabash, May 15. The Northern Indiana Christian Minlsteral Association closed it3 twenty-third annual meeting in thi3city yesterday. Many prominent workers la the Christian denomination have been in attendance. The address of the president, Rev. E. W. Darst. of Noblesville, on "The Preacher and His Word" was full of good thought. L. J. H. 0. Smith, of Indianapolis, State Sunday-school evangelist, gave a line address on "The Present Oprortunity." E. J. Gantz, of Indian polis, pastor of the Central Church, discussed the relations that existed between the pastor and Church Board, and insisted upon harmonious action between them. Proftssor Benton, president of Butler University, at Irvington, presented the subject of "Bible Study" in a masterly manner. L. Ii. Norton, of Colorado Springs, Col., addressed tbe association on the subject of "Church Organization." A. McLean, of Cincinnati, secretary of the Foreign Missionary Society, delivered a fme addressed on the subject of "Foreign Missions." The committee on time and place of the neit meeting reported May 11, 12 and K., 1883, as tue time and Kokomo as the place. Adopted. Dr. Charles Orr. of Salem, Mad. Anderson, May 11. Last evening a fine looking gentleman got ofT the Bichmond accommodation. At the Griffith House he registered as Dr. Charles Orr, Salem, Ohio. The doctor's strange actions soon attracted the attention ot the hotel guests. Orr's delusion led him to believe that someone was trying to elope with his wife, aud he accordingly appealed to the authorities to have some one arrested. At the telegraph office he deposited a check of $150 on the Salem, Ohio, bank, with Manager Rhodes. Mrs. Orr aud daughter arrived on the night train from North Manchester, Ind., and it was not until late that night that the doctor gave vent to his queer hallucination, when he began cursing and heaping a tirade of abuse on his wife. Finally the Deputy Sheriff took charge of the maniac. Mrs. Orr attributes her husband's insanity to overwork. Orr has been at Cincinnati under treatment. Fifteen Tears In the Penitentiary. Mario, May 15. This (Sunday) morning at 11 o'clock the jury In the case of the State vs. Blair Mock, being tried here on a change of venue from Huntington County, charged with murder in the first degree for the killing of Harry Vandeventer on the night of the 1st day of November last, after being out seventeen hours, brought in a verdict of fifteen years in the State Prison. The agony of young Mock's father on hearing the verdict was heart-rending. This is the second trial he has had in this county, the jury at the former term of court having disagreed. An Old-Timer from Ohio. Eichmokd, May It T. H. Baker and T. B. Barkley, of Oxford, Ohio, wer in the city to-day to see John Maxwell, who was arrested a few days ago and sent to jail in default of $1,000 ball to await trial on the charge of stealing Peter Beeler's horse two week's ago to-night. They are members of

an Ohio Vigilance Association, and he proved to be the ma? they suspected. They tay be originally belonged at Hamilton, and was a member of a gang who have Btolen hundreds of horee, including three from Barkley. Their purpose is to snatch him if he is not convicted on the present charge, saying they have a sure trip for him. The police say that they have his record, sho ring that thirty of the sixty-four years he has lived have been spent within prison walls. Gas at Lafoontaine. Special to the Sentinel. Wabash, May 15. Wabash County has its first successful natural gas well. At an early hour this morning gas was struck at Lafontaine, ten miles south of this city, at a depth of about OOO feet. The drill penetrated Trenton rock to the depth of six feet. Flames from the gaa shot twenty feet in the air, showing the flow to be remarkable for the distance drilled ia the Trenton. A large number of peop'e from this city visited the well, and everybody is happy over the prospect. A Colored Man Drowned. Evansville, May 1G.

Hardly a week passes without the memtion by the newspapers of sadden deaths, and cf late the alarming frequency of the statement that death was caused by rheumatism or neuralgia of the heart can not fail to have been noticed. In all probability many deaths attributed to heart disease are caused by these terrible diseases, which are far more dangerous than is generally considered. Is tbero any positive cure? The best answer to tuch a question is given by those who have been cured by the use of Athlophoros. Evai8ville, Ind. I used one and a half bottles of Athlophoros for rheumatism and it entirely cured me. I was an intense sufferer and would recommend any one Buffering with rheumatism to give Athlophoros a trial. Adolph Wagseb, No. 510 Edgar SL Athlophoros has many friends in Terre Haute. Herewith names of three doing business in same block as ourselves: It A. Tiernan (millinery), cured of rheumatism of over one year's standing. Miss Fannie McFarland (clerk in Marshall's music store), cured of rheumatism. Richard Forster (furniture), after suffering ten years with facial neuralgia, finds great relief and hopes for a cure through perseverance. Oar confidence is such that we recommend Athlophoros. Gitlick fc Co., Druggists, Main and 4th Sts., Terre Haute, Ind. J. A. Wilson, photographer, 6 and 8 Main SL, New Albany, Ind., says: "I had rheumatism, but it has disappeared, and I used only one bottle of Athlophoros. It was in my arms. A friend recommended me to try Athlophoros. I bought a bottle on the strength of what he said. That was all I ncedtd. I used the medicine, one bottle, over six months ago, and have not had a pan nor ache from rheumatism since. Every druggist should keep Athlophoros and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can not be bought of the druggist the Athlophoros Company, 112 Wall street, New York, will send either (carriage paid) on receipt of regular price, which is $1 per bottle for Athlophoros and 50 cents for Pills. For liver and kidney diseases, dyspepsia, Indigestion, weakness, nervous debility, alencs of women, constipation, headache, lmpnro blool etc, AthloDhoroa lllls are uneauale-d.

INCREASED RAILROAD RATES.

Effects of the Inter-State Commerce Law Upon our Trade With Canada, Washington, May 1C The Department of State has received and transmitted to the Inter-State Commerce Commiesion for its information, a letter from United States Consul Twitchell, at Kingston, Canada, upon the eubjectof the Inter-State Commerce law. The Consul says: "Canada's high protective tariff, in which there is no Erospect of reduction, has made me appreensive from the first of the effect of the increased railroad rates en imports from the United States to this section of Canada. Since the 4th of April these rates as shown by freight bills here paid, have been increased from 25 to 100 per cent, with no change on Canada roads. After waiting thirty days for effects, I have made a partial canvas of the importers of the city of Kingston with the following results: Coal dealers are preparing to bring from Nova Scotia coal for all puaposea where the Nova Scotia coal can be used ; two factories which have always used American coal haye put in their orders for Nova Scotia coal. In hardware and pressed tinware I find orders have been changed from American to Canadian houses on account of freight. In groceries there is the same complaint; products of countries outside of the United States they now expect to by way of British Columbia and Halifax. The unpleasant feature in connection with my canvass has been the general expressed desire to find how and where they may make their purchases without coming in contact with American railroads. With the general national reaching out for trade it seems to me unnecessary to prophecy what will be the effect upon the American manufacturer, wholesale dealer and railroad by these general inquiries." Seemingly Eradicated With repeated and powerlul doses oi quinine, chills and fever, In some one of its various forms, springs Into active existence again, often without the Slightest apparent provocation. To extinguish the smoldering embers of this obstinate and recondite malady, no less than to ru hdue it when it rages fiercely in the system, Hostcttct's Stomach Bitten is all sufficient. When every resource of the pharmacopoeia has been cxhaus ted against it in vain , the Bitters conquer it-will remove every lingering vestige of it. Nay, more, the Bitters will protect those brought within the influence of the atmospheric poison that begets malarial disease, fiom its attacks. Disorders of the stomach, liver and boarelsare among the complaints to be apprehended from tbe use of miasma-tainted wat-r. Tbcw are both cured and prevented by the Hitters. Rheumatism, constipation and renal comphints j ield to its action. Measles and Scarlet Fever. Brazil, May 1C An epidemic of measles is prevalent in every townsohip in the county, ttere being from 200 to cases in this city. In localities the epidemic has been virulent, though few, if any, deaths have resulted therefrom. Perry Township, In the vicinity of Cory, has also been seriously tcorged with scarlet fever, several deaths having occurred. 87 50 Per Day can easily be made by any energetic person canvassing for our new and popular publications.
