Indiana sheriffs met at Indianapolis the other day and declared that owing to the prevalence of prosperity their fees had been reduced well toward the vanishing point. The sheriff's sale is one American industry tbat republican legislation does not foster. It is said the members of the president's cabinet are as much perlexed over what to get him for a Christmas present as the ordinary woman is to decide upon the kind of a gift to get her husbaud.

Columbia City east, Wabash south, and Plymouth west have paved streets and are preparing

Ullery, of South Bend, who built a church of his own, endowed the same and made provision that no member could belong to a secret society, has been declared in valid.

Baker, publisher of the Columbia City Commercial, has dis covered that the attempt to issue a daily paper at less than two cent is a snare and a delusion.

At Fulton, Michigan, a new hotel was built and the landlord was going to open a bar. There was no saloon in in the little town and the anti-saloon people purchased a vacant lot across the street and at once converted it in to a cemetery. The law of Michigan prohibits saloons within 80 rods of a cemetery, and there will be no bar in the hotel. According to statistics compiled from the last United States census, the claim is made by the New York World that this country leads the civ ilized world in longevity, and it is shown that the United States, with a population cf 76,000,0o0 has more than twice as many centenarians as are in Germany, France, England, Scotland and Servia, with a combined population of 133,250,000.. There are more ""mysteries at Laporte than the hairs of Eusa would number. Mysterious deaths, mysterious murders, mysterious attempts to poison, mysterious disappearances all seek record from Laporte almost daily. It is a wonder that Laporte is not the center of the chaldron for the eternal fires of torment. And it is all due to the over-active brain of a correspondent. Elkhart Review.. A committee from the no ward county agricultural society has drafted a bill which will be presented to the legislature asking for special laws empowering counties and towns to build and maintain market houses and public halls. The society has found that, though cities are empowered to set aside money for this purpose, counties do not have the power. The proposed measure does not make such an institution compulsory. As the result of an official inquiry instituted by the Hungarian government with regard to the use of the typewriter for official documents, it has ben" established that such documents cannot be depended on for more than eight or ten years, at the end of which time the characters become invisible. The orphan courts have therefore been directed to discontinue the use of the typewriter for documents requiring to be kept a long time. The state board of education has ordered that the text-books now used in the schools of the state shall be thoroughly revised.

T LA GUAYhA

Sent There by Orders of Secretary Moody, So Says a Porto Rico Dispatch. NOT PE0BABLY ON A WAR CRUISE Advices from Washington Are cf a Pacific Character. Allies Accept the Arbitration Principle, but Have Views German Editor Melancholy Over a Gotham Dispatch. .J San Juan, Torto Rico, Dec 20. The United States cruiser Albany has been ordered to La Guayra. She will return here Immediately from that port. This step is taken in accordance with instructions frorj Secretary Moody, transmitted through Admiral Dewey. Washington, Dec. 20. The explanation of the visit of the cruiser Albany to La Guayra made here is that she is taking a naval officer to assist Minister Bowen in the discharge of the numerous duties suddenly devolved upon him. Washington, Dec. 20. The official day yesterday closed without further developments here respecting the Venezuelan complications. The status of the arbitration proposition, on which every one waits, was that with a willingness to accept such a solution in principle none of the allies was ready to submit unreservedly to arbitration; in each case there were reservations or conditions insisted upon. Respecting the method of arbitration if It should come to that form of adjustment it is noted that the feeling Is growing th:it The nague tribunal should undertake the case. Bowen, it is reported, wishes to come to Washington In order personally to effect an adjustment with the resident ambassadors of the allies, but while the state department makes no statement upon the point it is believed that It doea not regard this plan with favor. .1 Thins Nt To Be Arbitrated. " It Is pointed out here In connec toion with the project to refer the matter to The Hague tribunal that n some phases the disputes will not admit of arbitration. Such is the case, for instance, where attacks Vn British and German subjects and the German legation at Caracas, and arrests of consular officers have made the Venezuelan offeiise equivalent to cttacLs on the national honor of the allies, and as such to be atoned for only by an ample apology. The Ilague tribunal could not arbitrate such Issues, but it is pointed out at tlie state department that the claims are divisible, and that If President Castro chooses to render the necessary apologies the remaining questions can properly go to The Hague. Guarantee Not Neceasarj. It is beliered that the United States government Inclines to the view that there Is a disposition to Insist needlessly on guarantees for the payment by Venezuela of any Judgment that might be rendered against her by the arbitration. It believes that the force of enlightened public opinion would absolutely ensure a settlement of any judgment rendered by the august tribunal, and that President Castro would not be sustained by a single American country In defaulting. SPECIAL. FRO SI NEW YORK Paints to tha German Eye In Blood-Bad thm feeling' There. Berlin, Dec. 20. A semi-official statement in The Nord Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung says: "A local paper has published a cablegram from New Xork saying: The greatest excitement prevails here. The entire press holds Germany to be responsible for the present situation. Germany is attacked in hostile articles, while Great Britain is praised. The newspapers insist that Germany intends to acquire colonies in Venezuela and Brazil. "We have noticed similar telegrams in English papers, and if these state ments are representative of the feeling in the United States with even approximate correctness .we would have sincerely to depltre that the American pret?s shows itself accessible to wholly unfounded suspicions of German policy. The government of the United States long ago was categorically informed that Germany is seeking nothing In Venezuela beyond satisfaction for just claims and compensation, "The Anglo-German cooperation H based upon the similarity of the interests affected, and only wilfull prejudice could detect a difference in he proceedings of the two countries. The course of events will demonstrate that the intentions of the German government are free from adventurous motives." The answer of Germany to the arbitration In behalf of Venezuela, received through the United States government is its acceptance. The delivery of this reply to the United States for transmission to Minister Bowen is delayed for a day or two for tactical reasons, probably through the expectation that another solution may be found, possibly by President Castro yielding. Will Not Quit-Claim HU Claim. Venice, Dec, 20. The report that Don Carlos purposes to abdicate his claim to the Spanish throne In favor of his son. Don Jaime. Is untrue. He Wm After the President. Chelsea, Mass., Dec. 20. "I want a warrant for President Roosevelt," said Charles C. White, a well-to-do citizen, yesterday at the Central police station. He said the president had hired a man to assault him, and superintended the job. He was arrested and a revolver found on him. Will Take Dr. Marti n't Place. Louisville, Dec 20.
