A (Rfidte, we shall nol stay you long. Tis now eke nigh unto the proper season vrhen in the papers you shall perceive the mighty advertisements of advertising mites. ifeTis in Organs a wondrous trade they promise you, but when your eye is on the trade they do send, you shall spell it not trade, but tirade, c Exceeding angry shall you wax, and you would, nothing loth, put whacka upon the dealer were he by. Buy of another dealer and he will not so deal by you. Beseech you trade - with Estey of Brattleboro, Vt., and you shall dance with joy, the Organ playing your accompaniment.

WANTED TO BUT COULDN'T BECAUSE OUR FLAG WAS THERE. The German Mab Light of the American awy, Bat Ar Kot Very Aggressive When the Stars and Stripes Are Wared in Their Faces The Samoan s. St. Louis, March IS. J. C. Klein, the correspondent of the rort THrptUch and New York TVorld, who so recently became a conspicuous figure in the Samoan trouble, passed through the city this morning on his way east, going from here directly to Chicago, where he will remain for a few days. After recitine Lis experiences in Samoa, which have already been related in Associated Tress dispatcher, Mr. Klein said: "The Germans make light of the American navy, but I teil you they were not very aggressive when the Mars and stripes were waved in their faces. "Why, w hen they took Oillan off the Richmond, on the ground that he was a spy, Capt. Goetioson and Capt. Hand sent word that if be was not returned at onco they would board the Adler with an armed force and täte him, and Oillan was promptly restored. Dr. Xnappe. the German consul, used to walk up and down the beach every day and inspect Mataafa's boats. Oh, how they wanted to blow them up, but they did rot dare to. They were in neutral waters, and they knew that to touch those boat meant a right Their manner toward every one and everything that was not German or allied to the Germans was as offensive as it could be. They would scowl at any one they saw about the American consulate and make all sorts of offensive remarks about tbera." "What sort of people are the Samoans?" "They are a kind, good-natured people, and, unlike many of the nations on the islands, they will fight against the Europeans. Most of the islanders acknowledge without question European supremacy, and whatever white men want they may have for the taking, but you know American and European vessels have been there so much, and they have done so rmtch trading with the resident foreigners that they have obtained a slight idea of civilization. Like all the people of the tropics, they are indolent, but ihey do work enough to prosper, and if the civilized nations which can exercise an influence over them would treat thcia justly, they wonld develop into a worthy people. Bat the Germans take their land for a 003 and their labor for almost nothing, so they have n chance to improve their condition." HE WAS JUDGE FOLLETT. Thf Mwi Arrested In Helena, M. T., and Released, Proves to he the One Wanted. St. P.ri March 17. A man was arrested at Helena, M. T., March 5, on strong suspicion of bx'ing Lyman D. Follett, ex-judge of probate of Kent county, Michigan. Judsre Follett waa n of the most prominent politicians of Grand Rapids. He was probate judge of Kent county until A pril of last year, when he created a sreat sensation by decamping, taking with him money to the tune of looo, which was in his keeping as judge of probate. He aNo borrowed large snms of every one around town and forred the name of the present judge to a che k. H falsified records and deeds in the most reckless manner, and after his departure reward of t ,t w,n olV red lor his capture. Jle was traced to New York, but eluded the detectives there and went to New Orleans, taking a steamer there for Honduras, where he worked for the I, M. Western syndicate. After while he wa lost track of. Some months ago a man in Helena aroused tb suspicions of the detectives there by bis striking resernhlan.ee to Judge Follett. He was arrested and a picture sent tt Grand Lapids was reco?ni.ed by his wife. The Keut county sheriff went to Helena after him, but so well did the prisoner act that he was released as remarkably like, but not Judge Follett J'e made tracks for the coat as fast &s possible thinking he would be safer in a country where he would not be worth $l.i""irt. A private dispatch received in St, Paul last night from Tacoma, W. T., states that the fugitive sailed from there yesterday on a ship lumber laden for Sydney, N. S. ., and that he confessed to the pilot before the latter left the vessel that ke wag Follett. "OUR MARY" SERIOUSLY ILL. The Doctors Refuse to Affirm or Deny a Rumor That She Is Insane.

There is considerable opposition manifested to the confirmation of 1-wis WolHy to be governor of Arizona, and it is said charges have been made against him for presentation to the committee on territories. The pature of these charce, if they exi-d, cannot be learned, but it is expected that at th'e next meeting of the committee a favorable report will be ordered on his nomination. A tiood Paper 1'or Democrats, Columbia City Post. Wc are oftcu asked by democrats to recommend some metropolitan paper that can be relied upon for its advocacy and devotion to the principles and interests of the democratic party. Such city papers are not plentiful, and r great many papers that pretend to bo democratic are such from policy and not from principle. 'Ihe party in Indiana, however, is fortunate in having a paper to lead it whose position and doctrine and attitude upon all public questions can not be questioned. We refer to The I vpianapolis Daily and Wkeki.y Skntinel. During the late campaign The SENTINEL was acknowledged to be the best democratic paper in the AVest. It was democratic through and through, and the fight it made against tne party of raonojoly was vigorous and able and inspiring to the democratic hosts. Almost all the wholesome legislation enacted by the present legislature was forestalled by the agitation and advocacy of it through the columns of The Sentinel, and the people of the state must thank that journal for the public sentiment built up by it which made possible the good work that has been done. We believe The Sentinel is entitled to the credit of having stamped out Dudleyism in Indiana, and we know that wc place the credit rightly when we say that the school-book trust wps smashed by The Sentinel. To our democratic friends we can say that if they want a democratic paper with democracy sticking out nil over it, The Indianapolis Sentinel will fill the bill, and aa a general newspaper it is equal to the best. A Disreputable Sheet. To the Editor Sit: The Cincinnati Fvquinr, of the 12th inst., asserts that the few democrats in ofiice will speedily be turned out by the present administration. Thereupon it says: "The people of Yn country will know how to vote for congressmen next fall and everybody will know how to vote for a president in 1SIJ." Yes, they will know how to vote, provided always the Cincinnati Kn'ji'ircr caunot debnueh them into voting the republican ticket, 'Gath." its principal and almost its sole political writer, never loses any occasion to stab the de!iiecracy, or attempt to do so, and to laud the g. o. p. And yet, this paper pretends to be democratic. It niasouerades tinder false colors for pay, and is enabled the more effectively to stab the democracy. Greensburgh, Ind., March 1G. Intian.t Is Already Orfranlrins;. To THE EPlTon Sir: I see there has been organized in Indianapolis a Carlisle tariff reform club. This suggested the idea to me if we could only organize a national Carlisle club on tbe plan of the old Cobdeti club we might be able to accomplish in America what the Cobdcn club accomplished in England. If the people can be fully educated on the tariffquestion, there can be no doubt of the success of taritr reform, and I believe that this wonld be an efficient way to do it. It would be a capital way to distribute literature on the subject, and would serve to keep the party together. What do yon think about it? Chakles' a. Wayxe. Cincinnati, March 16.

FIVE W0RKIXGJIEX KILLED.

A TERRIFIC EXPLOSION OF BOILERS. The West Toint Boiler Works of K. Monroe & Sons at Pittsburgh Totally Demolished Cause of the Accident Unknown Thirteen Persons Injured. Pitts BV KG, March 14. A battery of boilers at the West Point boiler works of It. Monroe & Sons, on the corner of Twenty-third and Small-man-sts., exploded shortly after 12 o'clock this afternoon, completely wrecking the plant and burying a numkr of men in the ruins. The explosion occurred just as the noon whistle had sounded, and many of the workmen had left the works to get their dinners. The concussion shook buildings for several squares. Ina few minutes a large crowd had gathered about the wreck and the scene was most agonising. Wives, mothers and children ran about wringing their hands and crying, eagerly searching for their loved ones. The work of rescue was concluded late this afternoon. Ali the employes have been ac corntedfor. Of the sixty-five workmen, five were killed and thirteen injured, a number of them quite seriously. Stephen Carter, however, is the only one in a dangerous condition. He will probably die. The following is a list of the killed: GUS LINNEBAU, engineer, twenty-five years old, single. JAMES CARTED, boiler-maker, thirty years old, married. JACOB BIIEIXHEIMEK, ' boiler-maker, twentv-eicht year old, married. CHAKLES: A I ' L UN BACHE, boiler-maker, forty-five years old, married. DANIEL CLARK, boiler-maker, thirtyyears old, single. A list of the injured is as follows: Stephen Carter, skull fractured in two places, bands badly burned, will probably die. Ma F.TIN C'oNNEn, painfully injured about the head and legs. Frank Manesky, boy, scalp wound and shoulder-blade broken. Frank Smith, boy, injured about the head and legs. Peter Toner, a boy, was buried underneath some timbers and was painfully injured about the head and legs, but will recover. James Mt Cool. William Kelly. Harvey Barr. William Kroner. William Brkcker. James McKfk. John Forest. B. F. Lea. The last eight named were more or less cut and bruised, but not seriously hurt. The cause of the explosion has not been learned. The building was a large one-story brick structure and was formerly occupied by William Smith A Sons, pipe makers. The plant was a valuable one and will prove a complete los. Nothing remains but a mass of brick, mortar and timbers. The tirm was unable to approximate the loss, but it is sale to say that it will reach f fcyxx). The concussion shattered windows and damaged houses for three blocks, and it is a miracle that more people were not killed or injured. The boilers had been in use eight years. COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY. Some Pregnant Texts in President Harrison's Inaueura.1. To THE Editor Sir: In the inaugural address of President Harrison, delivered the 4th inst., I find the following: A psrty success that is achieved by unfair methods, or by prac tices that partake of revoi'iiion, is hurtful and eranescent, eveu from a party standpoint. Further on we read: No political party can Ion? pursue ndvantn:; at tbo exciiM- of puolie honor, or bv rulo nl indecent methods without protest and fatal disallcLtion in its owu body. How do the Blaines, the Stanfords, the Quays aud the Dudleys relish such outspoken truths from the man they helped to place in his present position? What a pity that he did not impress these truths upon the minds of his satellites six months nyo. I have no doubt every true American citizeu who has read the above will remember aud ponder well their import for years to come. And the enemies of free institutions will have cause to remember the words so prophetic of coming events. And the time is soon coming when the men who love party and partisan success more than country will seek to hide themselves from the gaze of honest men. They will realize ere long that the way of transgressors is hard. Men are beginning to understand that it pays to follow the advice of our noble ex-presiileut, "Tell the truth." Dishonesty has delayed just legislation for a time, but truth is mighty and must ultimately triumph. tiod speed TllK SENTINEL iu its noble work of spreading truth broadcast among the people. Knowing that our cause is just, we shall not falter. We realize Truth crushed to earth slnll rise azain, The eternal yoars of (iod are her: AVhilc error, wounded, writhes in pain And die? &mid hrr wortdiicrx. The reaction has already commenced. Thine for the right. Dr. I PlKE. Terre Haute, Ind., March 17. MARY NOT INSANE. A Baltimore Physician Denies That Miss Anderson's Mind Is AfTected. Baltimore. March 1 Dr. John Yanbibber, who attended Mary Anderson during her st iy in Baltimore last week, denies emphatically that her mind is affected. "I am always very averse," said he, "to say anything about the symptoms of my patients, as such matters are confidential; but in the face of these absurd reports aout Miss Anderson, I am glad to enter an emphatio denial. Miss Anderson is in an abnormal nervous condition from overwork and insomnia, and is suffering from a nervous trouble that has given her great pain. She is not suffering from any mental ailment whatever, nor has she bhown any symptoms of such trouble. She ia weak and nervous and unable to stand the severe strain of her part in the play she is in this season, and it is better that she should take an extended rest." Philadelphia, March IS. Miss Mary Anderson is reported to-night to be steadily improving. Her brother says that tbe reports as to her mental condition are altogether wrong, and that at no time bas his sister's mind been afl'ected by her illness. Now that the worry, he says, about her professional engagements has been removed by the cancellation of all dates, she is much better and a steady gain is looked for from this time lorward. AFTER THE NEW YORK PLAN. Changes to ISe Made in Two Congressional Districts of Tennessee. Nashville, March IS. Tbe democratic legislative caucus to-night decided to change the Third and Fourth congressional districts of this state. Two republican counties will be taken :fl" the Third district (which is always very close, and would be represented in the. Fifty-tirst congress by H. Cloy Evans, republican,) and added to the Fourth, now represented by Benton McMillin, and which gives P,H)U democratic majority. Two democratic counties are to be taken oft tbe Fourth district and attached to the 'I bird, making the latter district ilemocratic beyond question. SHERMAN DID NOT PAY. The Ohio Senator U Sued For I' n paid Railroad Mock Taxes. Manskield, O., March IS. Senator Sherman waa made a defendant this afternoon when the county treasurer began two actions against him for unpaid railroad stock taxes. The first caie is for $1, 74.1-5 due on his personal stock since and the second on stock held by him as trustee. The property is Pittsburg, Fort Wayne A; Chicago railroad stock which, by a recent decision of tbe supreme court, is made taxable the same as any other stock. The senator agreed to pay should the test case be decided against him, and he has failed to do so. Profits From the Dall. Washington, March 13. Chairman Britlon of the inaugural committee to-day handed to the commissioners ot the district a check for Kvi.OOO, this being the amount received from the inauguration over and above all expenses. The fund is to be invested and the interest devoted to relieving the distress of the poor in the city.
