Phillip D. Armour, of Chicago, is a very wealthy man, but of quite a different “meke-up” from Jay Gould, jthe Vanderbilts and the Astors. He has given away millions for charitable purposes, and only a few days ago gave in one sum $1,400,000 to endow a mission and a manual training school, which he had previously established. Andrew Carnegie is another man whose public benefactions mount into several millions, and so to is Rockefeller, the Standard Oil magnate. But none of them has, for their wealth, a better record for philanthropy than Ges. W. Childs, founder and proprietor of the Philadelphia Ledger.

The Lafayette Courier, while' it professes to be in favor of opening the World’s fair on Sundays, nevertheless criticises the fair directors very' savagely, and accuses ] them of bad faith, because after | accepting the government’s 5.000, j 000 half dollar coins, with their I contingent requirement's a closed' Sunday, they are now asking j Congress to relax tue Sunday j closing law, to seme extent. We j can not see any fairness or good ' sens<-in thb. view o£ thfi Courier. I If tbe fair directors, who are sup-, posed 11 b ■ a- •' we Q'i'ik are, 1 acting in the interests of the pub- ‘ lie nt large, thought it better for the interests of the fair to accept ' thea^p.o i ■■■ihtyia i ■ F.G’ ; requirements, it was their fluty so l to do. Andiuc”', if they tlti ik if would be fir the public good to have the Sunday closing law modi-, fied or repealed, it is agvin ttiijir duty to ask Congress to modify or. repeal it Io violate the law, ■would be acting in bad faith; to .ask j iiave it repealed it> quite another' thing, and not an act of had faith, ' 'J"2 . ./l—l-AUJMg ■’ The Indiana Caprca.v Court, has declared the Gerrymander act! uncorptitutipnnl, and the state isj mow withuuthlegislutive apportion- ( meni law, and hill l*c »*♦ until IL present legislature, which meets the first Monday in January, enacts a new law. It is probable ihat, the C9SB* of honest, pnvern- 1 men* will -nnt gain much by this ’ decision. The Democratic legislature will enact a new law which will be nenr'v or quite as unfair as the oue jnst set a J.h, :.lu will 1 rely upon its t>eing sustained by the Supreme Oonrt, which will be Democratic when the new judges

take their seats. The Court, in its decision, holds that the present legislature, although elected under an illegal law, is a legislature in fact if not of right, and as such enttlqd to act.. The decision does not affect the legality of the acts of former 1-gislal tires, as no one, in fact, ever supposed such a decision would, although previous to the election the Democratic papers and orators, under the lead of the Indianapolis Sentinel, tried tQ..make political capital by claiming that a decision agaiust the Gerrymander would invalidate the acts of all legislatures chosen under its provisions;

A Former Resident Shot.

Jacob Kdser. wh j many_years ago was a resided t of Rensselaer, and later edited the Winamac Republican for many years, and wks at one time a state Senator, but who removed to Clinton, Mo., a number of years ago, was shot and badly wounded at that place, on Tuesday of last week. The following account of the affair appeared in the Chicago papers, last Wednesday. Clinton, Mo , Dec. 13.—Levi Hartley, a veteran of ttye war of the rebellion and recently an inmate of the soldiers’ home, made a desperate and prob:. success!'til attempt to assnsmate Postmaster J. Keiser here | today.. About noon Mr. Keiser stood jat the general delivery window, his back to the opening, trying to deciphera signature; —Hartley walked to within six feet of him and fired three shots in rapid succwssioH. ; T. H. Bates, a bystander, sprang forward and wrested the pistol from Hartley’s hand. ,_Twonttb» shoisi teak effect,, one tin- below the right shoulder, the other two inches loxver. Hartley calmly rmosikcd; “I.did it IJuul uulu it-’.’ He was placed in j-.ii brtjr.e yearsrtgo Hartley was de-ck-red of unsound mind and was sent to the soldicrj’ home. During his absence his wife secured a divorce and married Keiser, whose attentions to her had caused much scandal. Hartlev returned home a short time ago, and has repeatedly made threats against the postmaster. The doctors are of the opinion that Keiser can not live. ■ ~~

Willis McColly handles his stable bedding with a long-handled fork, now days. A short time back he warpnlling old straw out of a banana barrel, when a spider about as large as a Nubbin Ridge bull frog ran out of the straw and bit him on the finger. The bite hurt worse, Willis says, than when he was hit on the hind leg once by a number nine rattle-snake. He promptly applied one of nature’s remedies in the form of a hot poultice obtained without going out of his cow stable, and the pain ceased almost immediately, and the bite gave him no more trouble. Dr. Loughridge afterwards told him that no doubt the phompt applrcatKHY “Of the allopathic poultice saved his life, as the big spider was probably a tarantula.

The first installment of the five million Columbian half dollar world’s fair coins, 50,000 in number, was not delivered to the fair officials until last Monday morning, but by noon of Tuesday, 5 of the coins had reached Renssei.-MT,t tv. property of T. J. McCoy, and one of them" is now* on exhibition at McCoy’s bank. They are a very handsome, piece of money, with a picture of Columbus on one side and of his celebrated Santa Maria ship, on the other. The established price of the coins is one dollar, and they may be ordered at McCoy’s, the Citizens’ or the Rensselaer bank. All of which already have orders in for the coins to the number, in the aggregate, of 275, -nd which orders will probably be much increased. Bargains m Wool Blankets, at Ellis & Murray’s.

The Town Board ordinance prohibiting the running at large of cows in Rensselaer will probably come up for final action at the next regular Board meeting night. In view of the facts that there is now but comparatively little uninclosed land inside the corporation, and what little there is left is fast disappearing, and of the great expense caused to the town and to the people individually in reparing side walks and fences; and of the further fact that, in spite of all that can be said in favor of “the poor man’s cow” that the great majority of cows that run the streets are owned by people who are not poor, it would seem that the time had now arrrived when cows and other domestic animals ought no longer to run at large in the town. If any of our readers think! otherwise, they onght to bring their objections to the hearing of the Town Board previous to the evening of the second Monday of next month, or “forever after hold heir peace.”

Zugbaum Has Another Fire.

Last Satnrd-iy morning a small building in Camden, owned by Dr. Snyder and occupied by Fred Zugbaum tailor, was discovered on fire. The Cauutui nr«? company were promptly at work and finally subdued the flames but not until the building and most of the stock it contained were di^irov' 1 '! It is supposed the fireorigif iWd firom 8 defective Hue, The building and stock were fully covered by insurance.—Delphi Citizen. The insurance people ought to fully investigate that fire. Zugbaum ■is the fellow that had two “viry mysterious” fires start in his shop while at Rensselaer, and in portions of the town where had the fires not been discovered .early, a large part of the business portion of the town would have been burned. The people of Rensselaer spent seveital hundred dollars having the origin of the fires investigated,by professiondetectives, and while no evidence sufficient to convict was obtained, sufficient was learned to leave little room to doubt but that the fires were simply attempts to “sell out to the insurance tomp<»ui<.b.'’ The sentence in the above from the Citizen: “The building and stock were fully covered by insurance," probably means a great deal. Zugbaum is the fellow who went down to New York, from, Montipel 10, a few months ago, and lost several hundred dollars in an attempt to buy counterfeit money. /
