They held their romance back until late in the season when all the other liars had marketed their lies, then they came forward with this whaler. It's hard to tell what will become of Nick and Arty when they die, but it is pretty sure that they won't be fitted out with golden harps. A 104-pound fish caught in a small river with a trout line is too big a lie to be overlooked. Chicago Timet, Articles of Incorporation. William G.

THE LAW IN FORCE.

The School Book Trnst Can't Prevent the Use of the New Book. 'The Journal continues iu attack on the school book law," eaid a republican member of the legislature from the northern part of th state Wednesday. "Well, I think I can see what the Jovrnil and Van Antwerp. Bragg & Co. are up to. They have given rjp all hope of beating the law and don't expect to keep any considerable number of trustees from doing their duty and ordering the books, but they da hope to make things unpleasant for the Indiana school book company. They think that if th Journal keeps up its lies and blackguardism that it will contuse a large number of school officials and cause them to delay sending in their requisitions until the last moment and thus inconvenience the school book company and delay the delivery of the hooks. That's the scheme at present All this fuss is merely to annoy the school book company." At the ollice of the Indiana compeny yesterday there was little evidence of the success of the JovninPs scheme. The requisitions are arriving rapidly, the total so far received being seventy-eight seven cities, fifteen towns and fifty-six townships. The state superintendent received requisitions from the superintendents of the various counties yesterday as follows: Lagracga county, for niue townships; Boone county, ft-f twelve townships; l'osey county, for five townships; Marshall oourty, for three townships; AN biie county, f.-.r tviv townships; Parke county, for f:!t'.iMoar 'js; Switzerland county, for two tow r,hips; Wayne county, Clay county, Madison county, Cass county, Vigo county, each cue township. The county board of education met yesterday at the office of County Supt. Flick. Requisitions for the new school books were presented from all the townships and corporations, except West Indianapolis and Irvington. The fallowing resolutions in connection with the matter were adopted : Resolved, That we, a a county board, think we 1 nve no discretion whatrpr un.ipr the liw but to enforce its provisions as far as practicable. This "s adopted unanimously, as was tbe following: Hrsflred, That towuh:ps will hold their lnnitdtes the am Air as be:ore agreed upon (oa one t-aturday of each month. MARVEL STILL ALIVE. The Octogenarian Faster Shows " o Slg-a of Dissolution. Robert Marvel, the Tike county octogenarian, yesterday passed his sixtieth day withont food. It is, beyond all question, the most remarkable case of fasting known to medical history. The only nourishment taken by Marvel during all tbe time has been milk, and of that there has been an amazingly small quantity not over four or five quarts altogether at the most. Ir. IJasty visited Lin yesterday afternoon, and reports that the old man cannot possibly live much longer. "IIe is getting weaker and weaker all the time." 6aid the doctor, "although each time I seebim I imacrine he cannot degenerate further and live. His stomach and bowels are absolutely empty, and 60 cadaverous is be that you may feel his backbone almost as distinctly by placing your hand on his stomach, as by touching him on the back. In several places on his body boils have appeared. They are shriveled and ary, but are tumors nevertheless and are due to the fact tbat the bad matter in his system which fails of escape through the bowels returns into the blood. He has not had a single operation of tbe bowels in all the sixty days. It is certainly a most wonderful, wonderful case. Since 1 have become acquainted with it I do not lelieve I would starve half as soon aa I should if I bad cerer known of this case and should have been deprived of food." One of the most unreasonable things in connection with tne case of Marvel is that thera are many people who refuse to believe tb story. What possible ground there could b for deception no one attempts to say, but skeptics abound, nevertheless. Mary of the neighbors who have called upon Marvel SAT that if they did not personally know the family they would not believe the story of the wonderful and unprecedented fast. THE VINEGAK LAW. The Strict Interpretation of the Law by the Attorney UcneraL Atty.-Gen. Michener.who has just returned from the bosom of the administration at Washiutrton, yesterday rendered an opinion which will prove of iuterest to all dealears in vinegars. It was in reply to a question from Dr. Metcalf, secretary oi the state board of health, who asked an explanation of the law in regard to mixing vinegars. The attorney-generai's reply was as follows: "Sec. 4 of the act you refer to provides that 'all vinegars shall be without artificial coloring matters.' It will be noticed that the first provision is absolute, that all vinegars shall be without artificial coloring matter. In the next clause is the provision that if aDy vinegar contains any artiticial coloring matter it hall be declared adulterated. In view of these unqualified provisions there can be no doubt that it was the legislature's rurpose to prohibit tbe artificial coloring of all vinegars. "The last sentence of the section contains no implied permission to artificially color cider or fruit vinegar, for that part of the section has no reference to vinegar made of the materials mentioned, but its prohibition is charged to other vinegar changed by coloring or otherwise, to imitate cider or fruit vinegar. "The last sentence of the section contains the only provision in the act relating to the mixing of vinegar. Vinegars not made from cider r fruit cannot lawfully be mixed with cider or fruit vinegar. Such an act is prohibited absolutely because of the danger, whatever was tbe purpose in doins it, that the product will be-imDoi-ed upon the public as fruit or cider vinegar. Cideror fruit vineear may be mixed with each other. Malt and other vinegars made from harmless substances may be mixed together. It is the mixing of fruit or cider vinegars with other substances which is prohibited." XIL'RLINGTOX KOCTE. Throuch Sleepers Daily tn Texas Points. TheC, B.o; Q.
