While it has been heralded throughout the leiigt ii a d breadth of the land, that the silver enze is living out, jet "".ate in a gie.it while" an article will appear showing thft there are a few wlm still i:dhere to this dtctrino of V to 1. For several weeks past a young man, to tho. world unknown, has been picj -nring himself lor a campaign under the inspires of the National lh-me;ul:c Unit :i. YYluther the unknown will prod.yje the ehect looked forward to, is yet to in- Iari:ed; but cards are out an nounci ig the opening of this Cti:i"s Fiinnt ial School in Life," which Will take place at Kimball's Hall, in Chicago, next Wednesday evening. The Sunday Inter Ocean, in speaking of the prodigy, s.iys: From indications it seen.s certain that the 'Unknown" will have a great deal to do in shaping the free silver campaign." This 'Unknown" uses stereoptieon views during his lectures, and the meeting to be held Wednesday night is attracting considerable attention. Whether this youth is a crank or not can tasiiy be seen in the following, which .ere his utterances given a short time ago. He said: "The merits of bimetallism scarcely need any elaborate treatment at my hands. Older and wiser heads have gore into that question and settled it as fairly as any question was ever settled; but what I shall plead for, with all the strength that (od has given me, is American patriotism. "Why should we, now that we have reared the mightiest national fabric ever erected on the broad highway of nations, turn to Europe for its gracious consent that we do our simple duty by ourselves' Why have we honored as one of the cardinal doctrines of American enterprise 'protection to our institutions if we are now, after the operation of that principle for years, and utter we have grown to m itarity, to confers that after all the United States of America count for no more than anv of the so-called 'civilized nations?' If we are to be a to'onv oi.

Yts, let us take them from the book wheie appear other names that bring the bluth of shame to our faces, and at least place them in the bojk of 'Men Who Have Loved and Labored for Mankind. If we as a mtion are ashamed of them, we can honor them as mm and give their faces a place m grateful hearts.' I'KKMIH.NT CLKVIXAN! did not make, a ! o:;g stay at All ml a. He has returned, not to (Jray (Jables, but to Washington. Thk number of railroad wrecks recer tly reported is above the average. In some eases carelessness is presumed as the cause, in others presumption is not necessary because carelessness on the part of employes is evident. In railroad affairs carelessness is a sin not to be condoned and should be so regarded by the general public. Aoitatoi: Ki:n: IIakdii: is preparing to depart from this country. A most remarkable and surprising thing about Mr. Hardie's visit to America is that unlike his countryman, Stead, he has no plan of reform to offer, but it is not likelv that the country will go into mourning over the fact. Captain' JStuektkk, of Chicago, has been prominently before the public on various occasions for some time. His manipulation of affairs along the Lake Front has finally gotten him into serious troublo and lie is now under indict ment for the alleged forgery of a certi lied copy of a land warrant record. Captain Streeter will probably soon have plenty of time in which to meditate and repent at leisure. Women's perverse impulses are no more to be understood by men than her alleged peculiar intuition. It is difficult for ordinary mankind to satisfactorily assign a reason why a woman should leave her husband because lie would not read to her the full stenographic report in a case like that of Durrant, in SanFrancisco. JJut such a woman has developed to the chagrin and dissatis faction of her husband, her sister and ( Ler sister's husband.

Shout appropriations in congress have lead to an almost complete suspension of work on the Hennepin Canal, in Illinois. It is poor economy that will make a break in the work of such great improvements as this. Such a project can not be put under way ana stopped short of its completion without financial and other saeiiiiees by the public and such forethought should be applied in matters of this kind as to insure a steady continuance of work until it is completed.

It is said of Terell, our minister to Turkey, that he has placed himself in a very bad light. In speaking of.the Armenian trouble he is quoted as saying that the Christian subjects are "fanatics," ami ascribes their revolt against, the unjust oppression as the result of undue religious fervor. These utterances combined with the inability of securing any clews tnat would be of material aid in bringing to justice those who are responsible for tho state of I airaiS hi that coutry the illlIirt.ss. ion that he is under the intluence of the ;tJtiin AN AITI MN IDVI,.

We notice through the exchanges that a Mrs. Will Walters, of Albany this state, was awakened the other morning at an early hour, by some one pulling at her hair. She at once arose and after lighting a lamp she found that one-half of her beautiful tresses had been cut away. An unknown man was seen to leave the house, by a neighbor. Mrs. Walters cannot account for the act and notified the police of that city but no clew has been obtained. Some one must be starting a hair watch cha factory in this state. Lieensed to Wel. Neal X.

EARTHQUAKE SHOCK.

ThU Morning Between 4 and 5 o'clockTwo Diktrict Shocks Were I'elt Note from Other Point. A number of our citizens noted the slight earthquake that visited this section of the country. The tirst shock was noted between 4 and 5 o'clock. A second vibration was felt about 0:12. It was hardly strong enough here to accurately state its direction, but was supposed to travel from easd to west. At Ilremen tha sho;;k was felt very distinctly, and mihu of the people left their beds, believing an explosion had taken place in the immediate vicinity. At Donoidson, the vibration was utv light and only a very few noted it. At Argos it was noted by a few, but so light was the- shock, that it was not given credence oy u large number. At Jiurboii it was ieit by a number, but m such a light form that l. was given very little credit as earthquake. being an Marniout sterns to have lceeived a more distinctive sh ck than d.d this locality, the citizens being aware of the disturbances by two very distinct shocks. J'y speei als to the 1npi:pi;nii:.-t we learn that the disturbances became more mlent south and east of us. At Logansport it is learned the greatest vibrations wire felt, the shock lasting longer and considerable damage being done. At that point chimneys were shaken down, and a number of plate glass windows were shattered, but nothing serious reported. At It. Wayne it is reported about the same as at Logansport. HALLOW E'EN. The Vigil of If .ill'w-Ha or All .Viints 1).V. To-night is ha'Iow ecn which, in its degeneracy, has been debased from a sacred festival and an offering to the benign fairies to an occasion for mischievous licenso on the part of America's rising sons. The origin of Hallow e'en is a matter of great antiquity and its beginning is shrouded hi some obscuiity but there is on doubt that it was celebrated in Scotland, Germany and Ireland many centuries ago. Tne ritualistic observances of Hallow e'en seem to have generally preceded Hallow-mass day whicn was observed at various seasons of the year but mainly, as best known in its early nistory on May 1st and Xovember 1st, seasons in which tho fairies were considered as being unusually active and propit ous. Fires were kindled in front of nearly all houses as a means of propitiating the good will ami benign influence of tbe fairies. Scotland had its Hallow e'en which appears to have been identical with the (lerrnaii (Mertener and the Cehic Bealfine. In its original form Hallow e'en was ready a pretty sentimental cviuett the revival of which would be an excellent improvement over its present fo ni of observance which lias nothing to commend and everything to condemn it.

Icals there appears a picture of an exceptionally beautiful woman in evening gown, who possesses an unmistakably artistic air. "Why this particular beauty Is thus depicted one cannot help wondering until their wonder is mastered by surprise by finding "that the original was a gentlewoman hotelkeeper." The hotel, it seems, was one 0! England's ancestral homes in one of the loveliest shires, and, being unable to either support the mansion In its dsBerving style or let or sell it, the owners determined to utilize it in that way. So the wife became "secretary of the interior," and besides most ably managing the house ami staff of servants, made a most delightful hostess. The husband superintended the stables and looked after the outdoor attractions of fishing, driving, hunting, etc. The guests were thus able to enjoy an independent stay at an aristocratic, well-appointed and thoroughly managed establishment. The success of the venture emphasizes the fact that a woman who can conduct an elegant home is tho proper person to be at tho head of a high-class hotel or boarding A Disastrous Kentucky Duel. The Chino-Japanese war has pro duced something like a camphor famine, for the substance now costs from 7 to 8 a hundreweight, and the Celestial finds it dearer than the Londoner. It is reassuring to know that Izal is even more effective than camphor in arresting and preventing disease, and that, at present quotations, it is much cheaper.

AUTOMATIC TELEPHONES.

Callender't System, Which Connects Without the Aid of the "Hello" ;irl. Romaine Callender, an electrical engineer, who has his office and laboratory in the Decker Building, Union Square, the other day exhibited and save a working demonstration there of an entirely new system of telepho.no exchange which he has invented and patented here and Abroad, says thq New York Tribune. The apparatus exhibited forms a complete telephone exchange in working order, of a kind intended for u?e in a small city. To explain in detail the method o: communication between subseriLers, a number of ordinary telephone transmitter and receivers have been placed cn the valla of the room in which the apparatus i.j shown, and these instruments are connected with the apparatus of the exchange proper, in the center of tlia room. The whole system of interconnection at th. exchrui.e is auto mat!-?, jthe services of operate', s there not 1 oj ing rce.uired. Subscribers make their j own connections automatically ly tha j U: e of a sir-ipk vovkc attr.ehed to their trr.iK-niitting and receiving instruments. I'y this device whoa a mbeeriler desire:? to connect himself wiih another subscriber he turns two knobi, movirg indicator arms ever two numbered dials, forming the proper combination of figures. For instance, if lo were tho number desf.red, the subscriber would move yno indicator r.rm to 1 and the othrr ,- 3, and within twelve seconds, lr. Calender says, the Lcll on the calling subscriber's instrument would ring to announce the connection with the subscriber at 1",. Tho apparatus in which the connection i3 mado at the central station consists of a circuit selector fcr receiving calls and individualizing portions of the apparatus to the calling subscriber; a nu nicrical receiver for registering the number of the telephone with which connection is desired; a numerical separator for automatically classifying the "impulses" of the call; a numeralizcr for totalizing the numbers registered by the receivers and for selecting the telephone with which connection is jVsired; a signaling track for signaling subscribers when a connection is made or a telephone is in use; progressiva switches, mechanisms held under tho control of a signing subscriber until the connection has been effected, and a connector, by which subscribers are interconnected. All this mechanism ap. pears as an oidcrly arrangement of wires, keys, brushes and various other parts, which are minutely adjusted and bcwilderingly numerous. Mr. Callender, who is an Englishman, hopes that a stock company will he formed to manufacture the apparatus and operate it. He says lie has already had negotiations tending toward that result. The exhibition of the apparatus will continue for a mouth. LOVE AT GREAT ALTITUDE. I .aily Who flimlM Moimi KmU'l V.; ni l'p ly M:rryiig; Her (iu'ule. ihniy Carter, the famous Mount 'ü'icv guide, !k:j fallen in love under romantic circumsLmccs, and will be mnrrio.l by Kev.

Groe of Eaton ville, set Ml Tuesday wiih Carter, the most trusted of all the mountain guides, to a. rn I Mount Hauler. At Gibraltar vnck, which corresponds to the "shoulder'' of the Mattcrhorn, 4,000 feet from the summit, Mrs. Groc became exhausted. Miss Beachman declared ner intention to reach the summit at all hazards. Carter led the way, but sooi. lost his ice ax, and in scaling difficult passes they were compelled to rely solely on their alpenstocks. They did not reach the summit until G p. ni., too late to attempt the descent that night They had left Paradise Valley, below the snow "ine, without wraps, and only a lemon and one sandwich each in the way of provisions. Carter selected a sheltered ice cave formed by jets cf Bteam from the crater, and there they passed a sleepless night, discussing all sorts of topics, and before they left the summit, at 9 a. m. Wednesday, Misa Beachman had promised to marry tha guide. The instant they left the steam of the ice cave their clothes were frozen stiff, and they suffered great hardships in descending. A rescue party organized during the day, ame to their relief late in the afternoon, after they had been without food over twenty-four hours. Merltt f.rt Down Kislty. AI. Clay Merriti, the game dealer of. Kewanee, 111., whose troubles with tho law on account of having in his possession game birds out of season, has been found guilty of 1C1 counts in a total of 27,000, and fined $S03. Had the maximum fine been Imposed upon Merritt on the total number of counts in the indictment he would have been mulcted ?675,000. State Game Warden Charles II. Blow has taken possession of Merritt's warehouse and will hold it until the circuit court meets. He charges the assistant state's ' attorney with crooked work and will contest the result of Saturday's trial. lie Understood-! The young man had asked for a horsa that was gentle and safe. As he drovo out of the stable tho liveryman said, "The spring on the right side of the buggy is the stronger;" and the youna man blushed until his ears looked like a sunset in a chromo.

The Street I';ikir. Thnrsdav about 7 o'clock p.m. cur attention was called to the fact that s-rr.e one was attracting a great deal of attention on the corner of Michigan and Garro streets, an I upon investigation a jovial joker and fakir was found. And he had the crowd who could hardly wait until he could tell them that he did not want their money. Hut he was giving away the goods and not selling. He commenced the how by getting a youth into the buggy and making a dunce of him and so entertained a few until he had the crowd worked up to the right pitch, then the fun began. He would sell spoons at "2" cents each, and then would give buyers their money back and enough to buy a good cigar. Well, nothing funny about that, but he had got a nibble and he intended to play his line all he could. he sold them at a dollar a set. and would give another set with them, and when about S3S.(K)had been received he promised presents to them and a nice neat ring was given each one, netting the seller about 33.00 profit. Hut that's not much. It will pay better, though, to buy spoons at the stores. A iooil Thin;. Bluffton, Ind., has instituted a course of treatment for intoxicated persons who came under the jurisdiction of the city police court. All "drunks" who enter a plea of guilty are given a sentence of thirty days in jail, and during their term of imprisonment the gold cure is administered by physicians employed by the W. C. T. U. sanitarium, an institution under the direction of a local organization, That plan ought to be adopted every where. Rochester Kepublican. New Clues. The l't.

A Delicate Operation. Itev. Father Delaney, pastor of tha St Patrick's church at Ft. Wayne, has been suffering with that new and dread desease appendicitis and finally necessitated an operation wh'ch was performed last Sunday afternoon. Chicago physicians did the work, and tho price, 62,500 was not considered to be very high.

England and the Unite 1 States are at variance over the Monroe doctrin, and matters are at a critical stage. Japan and Russia covertly arming and watching each other. Italy and Portugal are reported to have ceased diplomatic relations. Spain is not so occupied with Cuba but that she j can threaten the United States. Yenj ezuela is arrayed against Kngland; France turns from her Madagascar victories to remark that England's view of the Monroe question is correct, and that she herself will have to imitate the British course in order to secure an equitable settlement of several points, (lermany is drilling and drilling and waiting for a chance to assert her supremacy. The cause of the general peace, Figaro says, is prejudiced by the ultimatum sent out to Venezuela by England. The French paper is right.
