All good citizens who are interested in “higher education” will be gratified to know that Yale beat Har vard in the recent boat races. . v . 47f " ■ . .. After this campaign is over it may be well for candidates who desire to decline a nomination before it is offered them to do so in plain and unmistakable English. f ■ -3 ■ ———— — Elzea Nixon, of Elizabethtown, Ind.,was fined SSOO for selling liquor without a license. It would have been cheaper for Mr* Nixon to have observed the law in the first place.— Thos. M. Bedford, of Danville, Ind., has been an Odd Fellow in good standing for sixty-three years, and Samuel Foreman, of Greensburg, Ind., sixty years. Evidently Odd Fellowship must have earnest attractions to bold men so long.

A number of the candidates for the British Parliament in the elections now going on. says the N. Y. Sun, are championed by their wives, who deliver vehement'speeches from tne hustings in their interest. , The most notable cases of this kind are those of the wives of M*. Henry M. Stan-' ley and the Hon. Richard Chamberlain. Mrs. Chamberlain has within a short time won fame as a public speaker in behalf of her husband. For his sake she has mounted the platform, blazed away at bis adversaries, vaunted his merits, and squelched the uproarious Tory rowdies who tried to break up the meetings. Mrs. Stanley has been less successful in he!* oratorical battles for her husband. The Radical rowdies got the advantage of her s 6 often while she was speechifying that she . has been compelled to give up outdoor meetings, and now speaks for Stanley in halls, to which admission can be obtained only by ticket. Mr. Gladstone’s good and fraithful wife does not make speeches for him when he is out electioneering, but she always takes a seat near him on the platform when he addresses a popular audience. She was beside him in Edinburg and in Glasgow last week when be spoke to the electors there; and all those who have ever seen her on such an occasion will know how her venerable face shone while her ever lively, nimble and ardent husband, the, “Grand Old - Man, ’- made —the speeches that, stirred the very souls of the perfervid Scotch, and that sounded finer in her ears than any speech he ever delivered in the olden times of long ago, when the twain were halt a century younger -than they are now, younger in years but less mellow, and not more pleased with the triumphs of life.

The Russian Government is displaying much energy in its effort to prevent the spread of the Asiatic cholera, which has reached Russia from Persia. The Sanitary Commission, whieh is a government institution, is exercising its full authority in cooperation with the provincial end municipal functionaries of the region'dying between thf Caspian Sea and the Black. Agents have been sent out in all directions upon special duty, funds are supplied for the neeessaryaervice, a rigid quarantine is enforced at all points of danger, disinfectants are distributed l wherever needed, travel and traffic | have been suspended in some localities, and sanitary measures of vari'—ouskrndsareapplted.asfarastbey can be applied, upon shorty notice under difficult circumstances. We do not remember that the Russian Government and its functionaries have ever before displayed as much energy in presence of the dreaded plague, or in striving to keep it out of the country, or in adopting scientific means of presenting its ravages. Russia has been far behind all the countries of western Europe in the enforcement of laws, aDd t3hf"jpjeseist action ortho Caar'nGovrjr|4#nt i* serious evidence of progress. It is of grave importance to mankind. , . the great object at this timfli iS to prevent the plague from crossing the Caucasus Mountain&to the northward. It is at Baku on the Caspian and at TjjfHs, both of which places are south pf th£ mountains, and there has been a report of its aprr pearance in the Crimea but this re- ’ port is not sustained by the latest dispatches.

H. C. FRICK SHOT.

Tllo Carnegie Manager the Victim \ of an Anarchist’s Gun. Intcnif EiettomenTciaill by the Crime— F*ll Detail*—The Situation at Homestead, -j’ Mr. n.~<X Frick, chairman of the Carnegie Steel Company, limited, was shot at l:45o clock on the U3d, at Homestead, by Alexander Burgman, aged twenty-one, a printer by trade, who says he lives on Forty second street, New York. He is a Russian Jew. Four bullets were fired, three taking effect. The assassin then used a knife, inflicting one wound with it. All morning a man of medium height had been calling at Mr. Frick’s'office. He stated his business was of a private nature. Mr. Prick was too busy to see callers, but finally the man gained admission. No one excepting Mr.Eriek and the stranger were in the office at the time. The first bullet entered Mr. Frick’s neck, the other two lodged in the back. llr. Lltch-' field says that he cannot tell whether the wounds are fatal. Evidently some words were exchanged between Mr. Frick* and the stranger, and as the pistol was displayed Mr. Frick

turned around the table. This Is why all the shots took effect in the back and back of the neck. i( David Fortney, the young man who --operates the eievator.aavs that the wouldbe assassin has been in and about the building for six days. Six or eight times he has taken tho man up in the elevators. Each time he asked to see Mr. Bosworth, of the Frick company. Fortney says he never liked the looks of the man, whom he describes as a Hebrew, with a mean, sneaking look. The shooting was done with a Hopkins & Allen thirty eight-caliber revolver. Four chambers of it are empty. Burgman said he was a Russian Jew, and had been in this country four years. He came here from New York only s few days ago. He worked, so ho said, for the Singer Machine Company. While here he stopped at the Merchants’ hotel. “What did you do this for?” asked inspector McKelvy, of the prison. ~~ “I guess you knotty’’.was the answer. The excitement over the shooting is intense. The news spread like wild fire,and in a few minutes Fifth avenue, in the vicinity of the Carnegie offices, which are located in the! same uullding as the Associated Presii offices w.ts thronged with an excited crowd. The building was quickly closed and officers stationed at the entrance to prevent the passage of any one. * Indignation was generally expressed 4 at the cowardly crime, and the perpetrator was denounced on all sider and by all classes. As he was escorted to the station a large crowd followed, shouting: “Shoot him!’’ “Hang him!” etc.

Burgman was quickly taken to the central station and locked up. At first he refused to give his name, but afterward admitted that it was Burgman, and that he came from New York, It is believed that he is an anarchist. Ex-Sheriff Gray was%n the stand when the news reached tko court room that Mr. Frick had been shot three times in his office, and the news caused great excitement. Mr. O'Donnell waseVidentlv greatly shocked and said: that is terrible T v He was deeply and visibly affected and it was with the greatest effort that he could control himself. A dispatch from Homestead says; The report of the shooting of Chairman Frick spread like wildfire here. Persons are crowding the bulletin boards in front of the telegraph offices. The leaders de* plore it, but many of the strikers are sayiug: “Served him right. Wish ho was dead/' etc. The militia is ready to suppress any outbreak. “

When Burgman arrived at the central police station he presented a most desper--»4e-aoaea ran remand looked and actffl the anarchist he is said to be. His curly hair seemed to be standing on end and his sallow complexion Was bleached to ashen whiteness. He was covered from head to foot with blood and was very much excited, bat seemed proud of his deed. , Two physicians were in co'hsfant attend’ ance on Mr. Frick after the shooting. The surgeons extracted the bullet and after foil examination gave it as their opiuion that he would recover if blood poisoning did not occur. Mr. Frick acted very bravely, and by closing in on the assassin prevented not only the killing of himself but of Mr. Leishman, his assistant. and of the clerk whi bad come to his assistance. He U able to continue the direction of all the movenients or the mills as in the past -, . Burgman, the woold-be-mnrderer.shows no contrition for his crime. He gloats over the attempt he made and says Frick ought to die. He is sane, but an anarchist of the most radical type.-. After being placed in the cell it was discovered that he had two dynamite bomba in his month and intended to commit suicide by exploding them in his mouth, but the caps ieemed defective and would not explode. Before they could be taken from him he had to be choked until he was black in the face. Y * Y ! ' r ;‘Y ' DBTTMKD FROM THE CAMP. Xi Private Ijams, of K. Company, Tenth Regiment, shouted yesterday afternoon

sinaticn of Mr. Frick reached the provisional brigade for three cheeps for the assassin. Colonel Streetor, from hfs quarters. beard the incendiary shout. He hurried into camp, and ordered regiment to be paraded in double quick time. When his command was drawn up he recited to the soldiers the report'he had 1 hcardr j “I heard the voice distinctly,” the Colonel said. “I tfrrnk I recognized it. and I want the man who made the statement to adyauee twq paces.” The Colonel had recognized Ijam’s voice, and he was standing directly in front of the accused when he was talking. Immediately private Ijams boldly stepped to the front - “You offered three cheers*for the killing of Mr. Frick, did you not?” the Colonel asked, * Ijams nodded In the affirmative and was ordered to the guardhouse. ’The colone ; and his staff, including the surgeons, then went to the guard house. The officer ol ; the,day took charge of the criminal, and j at the CbloneI T s 6rders he was hung up by j the thumbs for thirty minutes.' The sufgeons remained with the unfortnnate durlngall his punishment; one of them kept wateb-cn his pulse while another looked after his heart, and at the end of thirty minutes Surgeon Neff ordered him taken down. When released Ijams was limp and apparently unconscious. The surgeons remained with him an hour, when he was taken to his quarters. The severity Of Ijam’s punishment was due to his refusal to take back or apologize for the expression. JTo-day one side of his head was Bhaved and the buttons cut from his uniform, of which he was then stripped. He was given a salt of cast off plain clothing, part being a pair of overalls, and was at once, dfrimqjed out of camp. The ceedings were aproved by General Suowden. Ijams lives at Waynesburg.

rr- - NOTES OF THE STRIKE. The 750 men employed In the Duquesno mills have quit work and declare they, will not resume until the Homestead matter shall have been settled and the Amal. gamated Association recognized. The mill until a few weeks ago had been non-union butat that time the Amalgamated Association iiad organized a lodge, and the strike is backed by that organization. A dark and most threatened story is in circulation, which causes much adverse comment, though denied by the advisory committee. Several engineers on freight trains over the Monongahela division o* the Pittsburg, McKeesport & Youghioghenry railroad have been approached anti warned by parties unknown that if they carried a pound of steel out of tho Munhall yards they would be shot. The engineers have been requested to furnish descriptions of the men conveying the threat and promised that arrests will be made. The soldiers have been supplanted in the police control of Hqsdbstead end special deputy sheriffs givdn their authority. The miHtary will be subject to the orders of the’ sheriffs, and will be called into ser- j vice whenever needed. Except on call of the sheriff's representatives the militia in Homestead are to restrict their operations to looking after their own members, such, for instance, as apprehending absconders from the ranks, if any, and enforcing an ! order issued prohibiting tho national guard ; from entering saloons.

One Use for the Onion.

St. Louis Globe-Democrat. A very convenient mucilage can be made out of onion juice by any one who wishes to use it. A good-sized , Spanish onion, after being boiled a short time, will yield, on freing press-1 ed, quite a large quantity of very ad- j hesive fluid. This is used quite ex- ; tensively in various trades for past-4 ing paper on tin or zinc, or seven glass, and the tenacity with which it holds would surprise any one-dh making the first attempt. It is the qheap- j est and best mucilage fpr. huch pur- | poses, and answers just as well a* many of the more costly and patent cements. Some of the cements sold by street fakirs at ten cents a bottle consist of nothing but onion juice and water, and, the bottle and cork cost \ a great deal ■more than the contents.
