The distance by road Is

about ninety-two miles and in order to make a century run he finished the loO miles on the paved street of this city. He deserves a medal for pluck and endurance.

As an example of how interest grows: A small manufacturing establishment of this city, which was started many years ago, did not do a prosperous business at the start, and about twenty-one years ago borrowed J.I.OuO.

He sent at midnight for Dr. Keglcy, who pronounced it oxalic acid. McCarty drank some tweet milk as soon as he found he had taken a danperous drug and this probably saved his life. Franklin Democrat.

Conductor Hank Creason of the Wabash did a thing the other day which deserves mention. Wednesday Misses Lethla and Mabel FlrtU h started for an extended vLsit with friends in Kansas. Amid farewells to father and mother the luneh that had been packed for their long journey was forgotten at the depot. When the train wad gone their mother discovered the mishap and a hurried discussion as to how the basket could bo gotten to Danville in time to Intercept them was being held, when a whistle was heard, and behold there came Conductor Creason back with his train after the basket.

The eat was chased around the room and female cuss words rolled out like pumpkins in a corn row, until the children ran out of the house screaming", and the police crime, when matters were soon quieted and peace again reigns. Columbus Times. The larpre flourlnjr mill of Ft. C. Newsom of Blizabethtown was sold by Auctioneer Frank Snyder Tuesday for 51,200. The mill and real estate Is worth about $3.000. There was but one bid and that was made by Charles HIgbee of California, who happened to bo present at the time and who was ready to comply wiih the terms of the sale. Assignee Will springer will at the coming term of court repot t the sale, which, it is believed, will not be approved. Under other circumstances the sale would have to stand, but as this one Is subject to the approval of the court, and as there are numerous creditors, it is believed that Judge Ilord will not approve of the sale, and order the property readvertlsed and sold. Columbus Republican. Three weeks ago a young man of good appearance, named Edward Wolf, came her and eanvassM a few days for the Eawreneeburg picture house of Miss Anna Rabe. He put tip at the St. Charles hotel and seemed to be doing a flouiisbLng business. He was fond of sport and mixed freely with our sportin? people. Monday night three weeks ago he walked down the street about 8 p. in. with some new-made companions and that wis the last seen or heard of liJm. He left his clothes and sample pictures at his hotel and the strange disappearance la puzzling our people. It may seem plausible to some that he flea for unknown reasons, and others hint foul play.

Negotiations are pending with a view of the Fletcher place beinpr purchased by the National traveling men's association to be used rs a headquarters for traveling men and their families. Should the? d-al be made a larsre hotel will be rected and hundreds of men will build bouses and make it a place of residence a part if not all the year. A home for superannuated traveling men would also be located there and many other things would follow, the result being that hundreds of people would be located here much of the time. We trust the deal will be made, for should It be ft would be of great benefit to the town in numberless ways. It will be known definitely in a phort time what will be done. In Indianapolis alone there are 1,000 traveling Falesmen, which will give pome idea of the magnitude an Institution of this kind might grow to Owen County Democrat.

Finally Mr. All got loose from the boy's grasp, but was caught by the legs. Roth the boy and man were drowning wh?n Ike All, a brother of the drowning man, rushed into the water and rescued both of them. The boy was Insensible when taken out and had to be rolled for some time before he recovered. John All was also unconscious when taken out. Terre Haute Express. So much h is been aald In regard to an electrical railway of some kind between Indianapolis and Marlon that every link

is carefully watched. It is a well known fact that Anderson parties have for some time been thinking of extending their line to Alexandria and with the Marlon company's line at Fairmou.it only about ten miles of road would need to be built to connect the two towns. Superintendent MeWhlnney in speaking of the extension to Fairmount said it would comp, It was bound to be a go and prophesied thit Marlon would be connected with the state cjpital by electric cars in two years. "The line will go by the way of Anderson of course," he remarked, "with through cars made especially for long distance riding, comfortable in every way and built with the idea of speed. A person can men get a car and ride to Anderson or Indianapolis nearly a.s fa?t as one can on the steam cars. Then the cars will go a great deal oftenr-r and if a person should miss one he will not have to wait a hair a day before he takes another." Marlon Chronicle. It rarely happens that a man lives to see and enjoy the society of four generations of his descendants, but such ha been the experience of P. West of Charlestown township, in Clark county, Indiana. Mr. West is ninety-two year of age, and today he is a prominent figure, at the twelfth annual reunion of the old settlers at Charlestown. Lookinglike a man of sixty years of aj?e. he In physically and mentally the superior of many even younsrer than that age. .There is not a race track in the country where Mr. West and the We-st horses are , not known. While leading the life of a. turfman and breeder of fine horses, Mr. "West has always been very alwtemious in his habits. An occasional toddy with h':.s closest friends constitutes the extent of his Indulgences in Intoxicants. He never used tobacco in any form. Mr. West is now engaged In erecting for himself a handsome honfe at Charlestown. He declares his intention to have it arrangtd Just to his taste, if it takes him ten years to complete it. Louisville Post. Many stories reach the public and as many may be regarded us untrue. Miss Cohee is the only person that might be regarded as interested that holds the key to the situation, and she calls occasionally for Reck. She called for him a inl made a statement that relieves him from any liability in a criminal acton. She demands his constant care, and while to outsiders and thoe who do not understand the situation, Reck may have been wrongfully accused of evil latent, his story is not an unreasonable one as time wlil demonstrate. He denies the ntory that he w;:s at Elizabethtown on the day of the shooting or that lie was tinder tin.' in!!um-i of liquor at any time during thai day. The eot.dition of Miss Cohee still remains critical and until all the facts are arrived at the arrest of Ret k cannot be regarded as unreasonable. If lit is innocent no bad results can follow though he may be put to much inconvenience. The required bond of J.t.iWM was furnished by defendant Reek, Mayor Joseph Craham becoming surety. Columbus Republican. A big deal that has been long in progress was consummated on the 2Sth inst. The deal was managed throughout by Dr. W. L.

Louisville Past. From a. gentleman of this city who was in Colfax Tuesday 'he Argus News gets the following particulars concerning a tap row that occurred there Saturday niirht between EiPearl's men and the Colfax toughs. It seems that the trouble bernn whrya Sam Horn of Lafayette, who Is there buying grain for his father, entered the show. He Insulted Mrs. LaPearl as he went into the show and she called her husband, who returned Rom his money and ordered him out. He refused to go when LaPearl called an assistant and the. two put him out. During; the struggle younir Rom got a blow behind his ear that raised a knot as big as a cocoanut. He was half drunk at the time and going out called his following of young Colfax toughs about him and a general assault on the show was begun- LaPearl kept the people comparatively qu:-t, but the performance had to. stop. Finally the toughs began shooting and the fire was returned by the show people. The latter labottil at a disadvantage, however, as they were in the light and the terrors of Colfax hl l in the 1 ep ditches long the railroad tracks about the circus grounds. One showman was shot in the hand and another la the ankle. Young Rorn was hit with a stake and Ids arm broken. The people finally left the teni and then the ntb became more furious and began cutting the ropes. Had it not been for the odd fellows LaPearl would have fared very badly Indeed. He was unable to get all of his paraphernalia out of town before Monday when he

showed at Frankfort. The bettfr element of the Colfax people are indignant at the outrage. Cra wfordsville An.usNews.

Grandma Gross, as every one calls her, is past ninety-eight and lives with her son Wesley, who is seventy-six, and often, remurks, "Mammy will outlive me yet." The old lady is remarkably well preserved, and only a short time since declared she had "not an ache nor a pain." Last winter she fell from a step and broke an arm below the elbow, and the local physicians advised amputation as the only thing to save her, but she would not hear of it and had the arm put In a plaster of parls mold and the bones hrm'.y united. Uncle .Samuel Williams, another resident, was born January 7, 17:: (St. Jackson's day), but is a str ng republican, is aow past ninety-five, md hla desire Is to live until 1900 bo It can

be said "he had lived in three centuries." There are a number of other old settlers, and when they have a "meeting" an extra large platform is erected for their accommodation.

Another and quite different version of the unfortunate shotting affair at Newbern, besides further details not yet mentioned, Teached the Herald sines Monday's issue. This version puts Dr. Reck in a very bad lirfht. ami Is the one credited a true by a large number of people, and by these much indignation is felt against him. The story is as follows: At about the time in the evening as Ftated Monday, while the couple wer together, the doctor grew drowsy, and the lady left the room, as she did so throwing a breakfast shawl over her head. She went to a rear room on ome errand, and was returning on the out.-! le of the house, evidently Intending to enter the mom by the front door. A door opens out upon a small portico In front from the room in which they had been sitting. As she mounted the step leading up to the portico. Dr. Reck was standing in this door. Je called out "halt." and she raised her hands, took hold of the shawl which partly concealed her face and threw It bark so as to reeal It. Just as she did so he fired two !iots at her In quick succession one them taking effect as yesterday statrd. She screamed and fell. What he sal 1 or did at the moment is not reported, b it soon after he put her into his bug;y and drove with her to the residence of Mr. Holland, whose wife is the mother of the young lady, and the family aroused. She was carried in and placed upon a bed. Ml.-s Cohee's grandfather, who Is quite deaf, was sleeping in the second story of his home, where th shooting took place, but he heard nothing of It. Very saangely it was not until 3 o'clock Sunday morning, more than four hours after the shootlnar, that some of those who had been aroused by the affair bethontrh them of Mr. Jones and carried th news of the terrible event to him.

Lincoln and Rancnliou er. W. W. Danenhower, the father of Lieut. Danenhower of Arctic fame, who died the other day, up to the day of his death preserved in a little glass-covered frame a brief note written to him by Lincoln n the day of his first Inauguration, March 4, lStil. Danenhower, who was a close friend of Lincoln, had called to see him that morning and bad been refused admittance. The president, hearing of it. in spite of his many cares took time to pen a note of apology, telling his friend not to think he was "putting on airs" because he was "In the white house," and asking him to call again and he would see that he was admitted. Danenhower, according to the Philadelphia Record. wa3 the first to announce to Lincoln the decision of the national convention committee of conference to recommend Lincoln to the national convention. Lincoln's look of surprise, he fald, wax genuine. He laughed a deep inward ripple, and. dropping his hands and removing his legs from a table before which he was seated, he arose and paced the room, saying: "Why, Danenhower, this shows how political parties are degenerating. You and I can remember when we thought no one was fit for the presidency but Harry Clay. Now you are seriously considering me for the position. It's absurd." Roston Traveler. Anlitiitta Thut Sleep Tlironjth Summer When the heat of a trophieal or semitrophleal summer dries up every pool and parches the ground to such an extent that it is dilllcult for animals not endowed with great powers of locomotion to obtain water, they compromise with nature by sleeping off the season of heat and scarcity. The winter sleepel's ure all pretty well known, but, owing to the summer sleepers being for the most part inhabitants of trophieal countries, far removed from the path of trained observers, we are less acquainted with the species practicing that means of escaping the heat and drought of summer. Indeed, at present only one mammal, the tenec, a hedgehog-like beast of Madagascar, is known to do so. In South America and Africa various reptiles estivate. In the plains of Venezuela the alligator, the land and fresh water tortoise, the boa constrictor and several sorts of the smaller kinds of serpent lie motionless during the hottest period of the tropical summer. Rut their dormancy Is not so perfect as that of pome hiberna'tors. In RrazU, Australia and Cape Colony lizards, frogs, tortoises and insects pass months of the rainless season inclosed In hard earth, and in India many species of fishes live durlnsj the hot peason in a. torpid condition, Imlodded In the hardened clay.

Infest the Chiltern hills. After the death of the late lord chief Justice, Lord Coleridge, a good deal of comment was excited when. In the case of the Hon. Rernard Coleridge, his successor, who represented the Attercllffe division of Shefie'.d in Parliament, the chancellor of the exchequer moved "that Mr. Speaker do issue his warrant to the clerk of the crown to make out a new writ for the election of a member to serve in the present parliament in place of the Hon. Rernard Coleridge, who, since his election, has accepted the offlce of .tewart of the Chiltern Hundreds." The surprise created by the fact of the writ being moved in this form was not unnatural, seeing that there wa-s no precedent for it. If a member of ptrliament heeomes a peer by descent a writ is usually moved soon after the death of his ancestor Is known, though occasionally some delay occurs In obtaining the writ of summons to the hou-e of lords, which ought s-trlmly to precede the issue of the writ, this proceeding being founded upon the alleged fact that the member has been ca'.lcd up to the house of lords. The sanie rule, however, does not extend to a Scottish peer, to whom no writ of tummons is issued. If a member of parliament be created a peer his seat is not vacated until the letters patent conferring the dignity have passed the ftreat seal: tut. according to Sir Erskine May, when delay in the case of a member who is a peer, and it is doubtful whether bis seat In the house of commons be legally vacated, a member accepts the Chiltern Hundreds before his patent is made out. In view, however, of the doubt and uncertainty existing as to the proper course to adopt, it will be remembered that, on the motion of Mr. Chamberlain, a committee was appointed to "Inquire and report on the circumstances attending the issue of the writ for the Attereliffe division of Shenaeld on June 26 last, and also to inquire Into the law and practice of parliament In reference to the vacating of seats in the house of commons, and whether any, and, if so, what changes it is desirable should be made therein." This committee, which consists of Mr. Asqulth (chairman), Sir J. Rlgby, Mr. A. J. Ralfour, Mr. Rlake. Mr. Chamberlain. Mr. Curzon, Sir Charles Dilke, Mr. Maurice liealy. Mr. Hunter, Sir Henry James, Mr. Grant Lawson, Sir George O. Morgan, Sir John Mowbray. Sir Joseph Pt-use and Viscount Wolmer. met yesterday, for the first time, to take evidence, when all the members were present with the exception of Mr. Healy. Kir "William Harcourt, who was the first witness, stated that he had granted the Chiltern Hundreds to Mr. Bernard (Joleridg-e under the following circumstances. On June 25 he received a letter In these terms: "My Dear Sir William Harcourt I desire to apply for the Chiltern Hundreds. Yours faithfully, "RERNARD COLERIDGE" In accordance with what he (Sir Willlam) regarded as the universal practice in such cases, he gave instructions for making out the appointment to Bernard Coleridge. Mr. Asquith "You did not receive any statement from Mr. Rernard Coleridge that his father had died, or that he had succeeded ?" Sir W. Harcourt "No; I had no official knowledge who his father was, or that he claimed to be a peer, or that there was any grant to him of a peerage. My personal knowledge was very imperfect. I should like to state what I regard as the principles applicable to the grant of the Chiltern Hundreds. For the last 150 years the Chiltern Jlundreds has been a form of resignation for members of the house of commons, and the act of resignation has been likened to the legal fiction under the old system of fines and recoveries. The action of the chancellor of the exchequer is purely ministerial, and he has no right to refuse to grant the Chiltern Hundreds except for some well-established cause. I considered this matter very carefully in the case of Jabez Balfour, and I had a memorandum drawn up on the subject which lays down: 1) That it Is the duty of the chancellor of the Exchequer to grant Chiltern Hundreds immediately they are asked for unless there Is some lawful reason to the contrary; (2) the grant has no reference to the character or fitness of the applicant. It is not the duty or the right of the chancellor of the exchequer to investigate cases of suspicion; (3) there are no exceptions to these rules, except In cases where, as in Sadloir's case, criminal proceedings aie in progress in a court of law. It is not enough that an action should be pending. None of these causes were present to my mind when I received the letter from 'Rernard Coleridge applying for the Chiltern Hundreds, and 1 granted them to Rernard Coleridge en nominee. I understand it to be alleged that Mr. Rernard Coleridge, the member for the Atterliffe division- of Sheltleld, had previously to that time become a peer on the death of Lord Chief Justice ColerldK14. He certainly had not become a peer of parliament. He could not sit or vote in the house of lords until he had obtained the writ of summons, and it is alleged that, although that was the case, he could not sit or vote in the house of commons. That is a question upon which I do not desire to offer any opinion, but if it be the case, as is alleged. Rernard Coleridge was in a state of imperfect beatitude he had ceased, as it were, to be an earthly being, like 'the sheeted dead, who did squeak and gibber in the Roman streets.' (Laughter). He had to wait on the banks of the Styx until he was summoned to the Elyslan fields. Or he might be compared to the larva or pupa who. before he became a full-fledged butterfly, had to spin himself a cocoon. Others might say that he answered the description of the amphibious animal who could not live in the water and died the moment he came on land." Mr. Chamberlain "Would he not rather occupy the position of Mohammed's colfin, between heaven and earth?" Sir W. Harcourt "These are mysteries which I am not able to unravel. I must be allowed to be considered an agnostic, and as being in a state of philosophic doubt as to the political status of an Improved or dummy peer. Rut this, at all events, is clear, that his seat cannot le vacated until a writ of summons is issued, and as the writ of summons may be delayed for various reasons, the voice of the constituency would be nullified if a member still retains his seat but cannot vote. In all cases where doubt or delay attaches to a disqualification the remedy Is clear and simple, and In the interests, not so much of the members as of the constituency, I lay it down as a general proposition that where there is an antecedent disqualification, if any dispute arises in regard to the disqualification, or there is any delay in proving It. th Chiltern Hundred hould

be given as a superadded disqualification, as to which there Is no doubt and no delay." Mr. Balfour "Has any case occurred within i our knowledge in which doubts arising on the succession to a peerage have been solved by the granting of the Chiltern Hundreds?" Sir W. Harcourt "No, there has not." Mr- Ralfour "Is It not remarkable that this particular mode of solving the difficulty has never previously been adopted?" Sir W. Harcourt "It rests with the members of parliament to apply for the Chiltern Hundreds; but I must confess to a personal predilection that the writ should be so modified as not to Imply that a person who receives the Chiltern Hundreds Is a member of the house when he Is not a member of the house." Mr. Chamberlain "Supposing it were laid down that a murderer should rot it in the house of common, would you say that the seat was vacated when the murder was committed or when the man was convioted?" Sir W. Harcourt "The house of commons would assume the man to be innocent until be was proved to be guilty. The disqualification would date from the time when the murder was committed, but not the vacation of the seat." London Telegraph. W'lZ AVANT THE EARTII.

A "oI)Ie Weakness Shared by Itolh Sexef,. "It's all very well," Kaid the college man In a tone which meant exactly the reverse, "to talk about women's rights and wrongs and things. The whole trouble Is that you folks want to te both men and women in other words, the earth." The collepe girl looked surprised as well she might, says the Chicago Times, and after assuring him with uncomplimentary haste that the last thing she ever thought of wanting was to be a man. and that merely btlng a woman kept her, hands quite full enough waited for the college man to go on and say: "Well, you want the privileges of both sexes, anyhow. Elrst thing a business girl grumbles about is that fhe isn't treated Just like a man; the next, that she Is. You want to vote and to get our seats in the street cars, both; to take our places in active commercial life and have us support you, too; you expect us to tranract business with you as if you were men, that is, giving you all their advantages, and at the same time deferring to you and granting you the perpetual discount which masculine chivalry gives to womanhood." "Pshaw!" said the college girl the only living thing that dares contradict the college man intent on explaining the universe. "Now Just listen to me awhile; there's something to be said on the other side. You're quite right about our wanting the earth; it's a general human weakness, shared without regard to age, sex, color or previous condition of servitude. I suppose you'll say you don't want the earth, too?" "Not In the way you do." The college girl gasped. "Angels and ministers of grace! but It's exactly the way in which you do want it! No. don't interrupt me; I've heard men talk. In business, for instance, you expect a woman to be smart as a steel trap and as quick to see an advantage and to look out for herself generally. And she musn't permit herself to be overreached: oh, no; or you won't respect her, let alone employ her. Will you?" "Well " "We'l, and don't you insist at the same time that she shall be gentle, yielding, shrinking, unselfish and everything els,j that Is Incompatible with being" a hustling business man? There's a beautiful fiction that a man respects a woman all the more for standing up for her rights, refusing- to be cheated, and so forth, hut on the contrary, he is dlsgaisted with her. As a girl I know says, 'When you strike for higher wa fires you convince your employer that business is making woman unwomanly.' And If she doesn't he complains of her lack of common business sense. "As to the votes and street car seats, or the independent career and the home support, either you'll find as many men who want the privilege of denytnir her both as women who want the privilege of petting: both. I'm not scolding; It's the most natural thing tn the world to expect everything of the other pex, and would be the most unnatural thing in the world to g?t it. Like you, we want the earth, and can you tell me who could make better use of it?" "Fshaw!" said the college man. A Iloiaiinre Spoiled. For more than 100 years Frendhrnen have wept over the sorrows of Latude, who was Imprisoned In the bastille for thirty-rive years. One of the most popular dramas ever written is called "Latude; or. Thirty-five Years of Captivity." There is no doubt that the story of Latudp's unmTlted Bufferings, as written by himself, had much to do with the popular feeling which led to th destruction it the bastille In 17S9. Hut. a la! the story, we are now told, must be relegated to the category of fictitious legends. A writer In the Matin has been led to look up the subject owing to the fact that a portrait of Latude and a ladder said to be the one by means of which the famous prisoner made hla escape have been added to the curiosities In the Hotel Carnavalet. The Chevalier de Latude, or La Tude, as he called himself, was. It seems, in reality named Danry, and hla narrative L? a pack of lies. He was a surgeon's assistant who was several times imprisoned for swindling. On one occasion he pent a mysterious powder to Mme. de Pompadour and then made overtures in order to obtain money for denouncing cer tain imaginary accomplices with whom he I was supposed to be conspiring against her life. Mme. de Pompadour did not fall Into the trap. That Danry was ever a political prisoner is confidently denied. London Telegraph. Tall llullditiKS In Xfw York. The erection of the numerous tall buildings in the lower part of New York has resulted in a remarkable change In the appearance of the city as seen from the decks of Incoming steamers. A few years ago Trinity church spire was pointed out to strangers as the steamer entered the Narrows, but today the tall steeple is overshadowed by the many lofty structures which have been built In that part of the city. Even the massive towers of the Brooklyn bridpe are dwarfed by the ta'.l office buildings. When the Western union building was erected at Broadway and Dey-st.. about twenty years ago, it was p-enera'.ly brlieved that the limit in hlght had been reached, and for a number of years n attempt was made to rival that structure. Then came the era of absolutely fireproof buildings, with iron and steel framework and swift passenger elevators, and now there appears to be practically no limit to the number of storKs in the new buildings that are under way.
