- THE REPUBLICAN. x Geore E. Marshall, Editor. ' - RENSSELAER - INDIANA

A large number of people will read of the wearing out of a number of Senator's throats with a great deal of indifference, if not positive satisfaction. A jewfish was caught on the Pacific coast at Avalon, Cal., recently by a Mr. Lindley, that tipped the beam at 300 pounds, being the largest of the species ever captured. The latest evolution of the slot machine gives your weight, plays a strain of the latest popular song, and tells your fortune, all for a nickle. And yet some people talk about hard times and grinding monopolies. The Washington City real estate boom seems to have collapsed, or at least shrunk to a remarkable degree. It is estimated that there are 10,000 vacant houses in that town and real estate values barely hold to last year’s figures in cases where a large advance was confidently predicted. Dr. Talmage occasionally grows witty in his Sunday sermons. In one of his recent efforts, in speaking of Theosophists and their alleged miraculous performances, he said the most remarkable achievement of these mysterious devotees was their success in keeping out of the insane asylum. That will strike the average uninitiated man as a pretty good hit. ____________ There was a great deal of betting in New York on the outcome of the races between the Vigilant and the Valkyrie. Those who lost, as usual, knew that they would lose, but bet as they did against their better judgment. That is generally the way. Men who bet on elections and lose always do so from a patriotic motive, and not for the money they hope to gain. We all know such men, and the subterfuges they invent to cover their losses and chagrin are not the least amusing feature of a hot campaign. The Viking ship will probably be “presented” to the United States government, and will oe removed from Chicago to Washington City to serve as a memorial and an attraction at the Smithsonian Institution or the navy yard. Capt. Andersen, of the Viking ship, has been in Washington on this business for some time: It is understood that a subscription, amount not stated, is necessary before the plan of “presentation” can be carried out. Those foreigners do not appear to have been in this exposition business for their health any more than the “selfsacrificing” Chicagoites. Three great battle ships have been lost within the last three months. The Victoria, of the English navy, went down because pf a mistake of her commander, The Haytien crusier Alexander Petion and’the Russian ship Pousalka succumbed to the ordinary perils of navigation. Peace seems to be more dangerous than war —to the modern castles of iron that try to float the waves in modern times. Safety has been sacrificed to solidity and strength. The thickness of their armor has increased in proportion to the weight of guns and powers of projectiles until the battle ship of the day seem to be more dangerous to its crew than to the enemy it is constructed to exterminate.

A New York philanthropist spends thousands of dollars every year to aid the poor, but is careful to never give the beneficiaries of his bounty a cent of money. His theory is that ready cash demoralizes people in urgent need. This good man will go to almost any trouble to help a person ho considers worthy by supplying him with groceries, paying his rent, or securing him employment. As soon as employment Is secured for the object of his charity, he inwardly asks for the repayment of the sums paid out by him, stating to the poor man that he is under moral obligations to refund at any convenient season the sums expended for his benefit. If the party pays, the philanthropist regards the case as a triumph of self-respect and of more benefit to the poor man than to himself. If the poor man fails to pay it is all the same with the rich philanthropist—he keeps on giving to .persons who succeed in enlisting bis sympathies. This benevolent man allows himself, an income of 16,000, and devotes all the balance of the large profits from his mercantile business to charity. “Hibtobv repeats itself.” In olden times great public characters

listened to the sibyl’s tale, or the seer's warning. Who has not read ‘‘Txjchiel, Lochiel, beware of the day when the lowlands shall meet thee in battle array?” Great warriors never embarked in a new venture without consulting oracles, and the Witch of Endor is quite as prominent a character in Holy Writ as some people of more canny reputation. Men in all ages have dabbled in the mysterious and sought to “catch on” to events of the future before they become due at their station. Probably a great many distinguished persons would be ashamed to confess to their faith in the superhuman. The latest exhibition of a public character of this nature was the visit of a fortune teller from Wisconsin to ex-President Harrison at Indianapolis. The retired statesman was not at home, but the modern “seer” delivered her message from the ‘‘Great Beyond” to his private secretary, to the effect that Mr. Harrison was down in the Book of Fate for re-nomination and re-elec-tion, but that many misfortunes and pitfalls lay in the paiit of his further triumphal progress. It was all revealedto herein a dream, and she felt in conscience bound to warn Mr. Harrison of the triumphs and tribulations that awaited him, so that he could be prepared to thwart his enemies and avert to a great degree the misfortunes while holding fast to the rewards that follow well laid plans.

Advertising that Pays.

Philadelphia North American. It. has been rightly said “the time to advertise is all the time.” The most successful' merchants o 2 the country are those who have been the most persistent in keeping their business before the public. Experience of more than a century has shown that newspaper advertising is pre-eminently the best, quickest and cheapest method. Reference to the files of the North American of more than a hundred years ago shows that tho wide awake business men in those days were, as now, the men whose names appeared most frequently in its advertising columns. It has been conservatively estimated that the merchants of the United States are spending more than $60,000.000 annually for newspaper advertising. A recognized factor in business since the beginning of journalism, it has only been within the last decade that advertising has reached such proportions and become such a lever in the commercial world. The shoppers of to-day no more think of miking a purchase without consulting the columns of their newspaper than they do of going to a place of amusement without first reading the newspaper criticism or notice of the attraction. The life of business is advertising, and there is no more profitable season for newspaper advertising than during a general business depression, when the great majority of people feel compelled to economize in every possible way. The paper to advertise in is, of course, the paper that reaches the buyers.

A Glimpse of the Orient.

New York Sun “Traveling up the Rio Grande valley last month,” said a tourist just returned from New Mexico, “some of the scenes that I saw seemed to be rather of Syria than of a Western territory of the United States. The little patches of wheat and barley about the Indian and Mexican villages had been reaped,and the natives were threshing grain by the primi tive means used in scriptural times. In the open fields was the threshing floor of clay, leveled and beaten hard. Upon this the grain in the straw was stacked, and around the edge of the heap sheep or goats were driven in a circle at top speed. As they ran the grain continually worked down from the center under their feet, which quickly threshed it from the straw. The hurrying animals; the darkskinned, picturesquely clad Mexicans and Indians, shouting, gesticulating and cracking whips to urge them on: the brown, bare-armed women winnowing grain by tossing it high in blankets, made a picture full of color and motion. In its setting of arid landscape, bounded by distant mountains, with a foreground diversified by a few flat-roofed mud houses, standing amid tiny vineyards, cornfields and orchards, and a few towering cottonwoods marking the course of the Rio Grande, the spectacle seemed an antique passage from the Orient.”

It Failed.

Indianapolis Journal. “Stranger," said the young .man with the white hair and the Hyed mustache to the photographer, “I am here to get my picture took, and I’ll tell you how it is. I've jist the question to a widder down our way, with forty acres of as good ground as ever a hog stuck his nose into, and lam now goin’ to read her answer. When you see the pleasant smile stealin’ over my face, I want you to fire off your ole machine and let 'er go.” “Ail right.” The young man took his position, but he didn't get his photograph taken. Instead, he rose to go without a word. “What’s the matter?” asked the photographer. “There ain’t nothin' the matter, ’ceptin’ that she says she's stuck on a preacher, and that I ain’t got the B ense I was borned with, that’s aIV”

ASSASSINATION FOUL.

•11 EDER OF MAYOR HARRISON OF CHICAGO. Shot Dov.-n in His Own House Without Warning. The A»!uts4lii Surrender* to the Police World'* Fair City In Mourning— A lloart-lCendlng Crime. Carter 11. Harrison, Mayor of Chicago, was assassinated at liis own home in that city. Saturday evening. Three of the four shots fired by the assassin tookeffcctrirthe body of the Mayor. One bullet entered the abdomen, another pierced his body to the right of the right nipple, plowing its way through the axillary region, and a third lodged in the palm of the left hand. After the assassin had completed his work he turned back to the door, the butler of the Harrison household at his heels, .. lied -across the law n-and out of the gatcway leading io Ashland boulevard, north on that thoroughfare to Adams stret, and east on Adams street out of sight. Forty-five minutes later Patrick Eugene Prendegrasc, excited, out of breath, and

CARTER H. HARRISON.

panting from his Jong run, bounded up the steps of Desplaines Street station, and, handing a revolver across the desk to Serieant Barber, admitted the crime and was locked up for it. Shortly after dinner, Saturday night, the Mayor, feeling fatigued, laid down on an ottoman in the dining room of the mansion. There had attended him at the meal William Preston Harrison, Miss Harrison, bis daughter, and Miss Annie Howard, his affianced wife.

All of these, Save the. Mayor himself, had repaired to rooms above. There were two servants in attendance, Mary Hansen and Maggie French, when, as near as any one can approximate the time, at 7:15 Fclock the door bell rang and the former sf the two servants named went to the loor. Standing between the glass and norm doors, his hat pulled down pretty well over Iris eyes, was a stranger. “I want to "see Mayor Harrison.” he mid, in response to the servant’s inquiry.. “Mr. Harrison is sleeping,” answered the girl, "and cannot be disturbed.” “But,” insisted the caller," I must see nim. I have important business with the Mayor and cannot be put off.” The girl insisted that she could not »rouse the Mayor, but advanced the opinion that lie would of his own volition iwaken in half an hour or so. The caller had barely gone before tiro Mayor did awake and began to walk about the room and around the dining table, with his hands folded behind him, as was his habit when in : a meditative mood. In answering the bell the second time Mary found the same stranger, and again inside the storm-door inclosure. She bade him enter, and, as she, admitted him across the threshold and turned to call the Mayor, she states that the latter had already walked into the hall and was approaching the door. The stranger doffed ais hat and with extended hand was walking toward the Mayor. The latter had accepted the proffered greeting as the girl closed the door of tho servants’ room in tho far end of the hail after her. Five minutes must have elapsed after the stranger had been admitted, Mary states, when she heard three shots in rapid succession. An instant latter a fourth shot was fired. This shot was discharged on the lawn, and was aimed at Mayor Harrison’s butler, who, after the first shot was fired, divined the truth, and grabbing

PRENDERGAST—THE ASSASSIN.

his own revolver made for the hall just as the assassin had leaped out of the house and was making for the street. Seeing that ho was being pursued, the murderer turned about on the butler and fired one shot. The bullet flew wide of its mark, as it was dark under the shadow of the trees and shrubbery, but the butler returned the fire, which proved equally ineffective. Preston Harrison, son of the Mayor, was soon at the side of his wounded father, who said “I’m shot, get a doctor.” Dr. Foster, who Ilves a half square distant, was hastily summoned and made an examination, during which the patient boro up heroically butsaid ho was doomed to die and called for his aflianced wife, Miss Annie Howard, but that lady had already become irresponsible frqm grief and excitement and the Mayor shortly .expired without seeing the one fur whom

he was most solicitous in his last moments. *' The assassin is a news carrier, aged about twenty-five. He claims that the Mayor had promised him a position as corporation counsel as a reward for his influence in his ward, as he had always been for Harrison, and that the position had beer, given to another. He shot the Mayor in revenge for what, he considered unfair treatment. Close questioning by the police would, seem to indicate that Prendergast is mentally unsound, but not sufficiently unbalanced" to escape the law’s avenging hand. Corporation Counsel Kraus said in an interview, Sunday; ‘T have had some experience with this man Prendergast. I regard him as crazy, but not too crazy to hang for what he has done. Shortly after I was appointed corporation counsel this Prendergast began writing me threatening letters in red ink. He warned me that 1 had better get out of mv office, as he wanted the place foi himself. At first I paid no attention to the man. as he seemed about half crazy, and I did not. give his letters a second thought. One day. recently, Prendergast came to my office and took a seat just outside my private office. 1 heard he was out there, and thought I might as well go out and send him away. He then told roc that I must resign as corporation counsel so he could get the place. To humor him I told him that a good lawyer could not afford to give up a lucrative practice for the position, but ho insisted that he wanted the place Then I told him all .righty he could have it. and asked him if he wanted me to resign right off. ‘Oh, no.’ he replied, ‘you seem to4>e a-protty good fellow, so don't be in any hurry about resigning.’ Carter Henry Harrison was born near Lexington. Ky., on Feb. 15,1835, and may be said to have inherited his taste for political life. His great-great-grandfather was tho ancestor of President William Henry Harrison, his grandfather a cousin of Thomas Jefferson, and he himself a cousin of John C. Breckinridge. His political career has been confined to one term in Congress and he was serving his fifth term as Mayor of Chicago at the time of his death.

Mr. Harrison spent the summers of 1874 and 1875 in Europe with his family. Ho was elected Mayor of Chicago in 1879,1881, 1883, and 1885. Against his own desire he was nominated for Governor of Illinois in 1884, and during the fall of that year conducted a most energetic and brilliant canvass which resulted in cutting down the Republican majority of 37,033, enjoyed by Governor Cullom to 13,500. Mr. Harrison was married on April 12, 1855, to Miss Sophy Preston, who came from a distinguished Southern family. Ills wife dying in Europe in 1876, he married in 1882 Miss Marguerite E. Stearns, daughter of one of Chicago’s oldest and most respected and wealthiest citizens. The second Mrs. Harrison died in 1886.

MUSEUM FOR CHICAGO.

Marshall Field Will Give *1.000,000 and George VI. Pullman *IOO,OOO. One million dollars cold money will be given by Marshall Field to the museum which is to be the outcome of the World’s Fair. Mr. Field names conditions which will jbe easily complied with. They are simply that $503,030 more be subscribed and that the stockholders of the World’s Exposition subscribe tfleir holdings, which represent an investment of $5,000,000 but are worth much less. The biggest stockholders never expected to realize anything on their investment, and they have already expressed a willingness to turn over all the stock they have. The trustees of the museum have no doubt that a majority of the $5,000,000 of the World’s Fair stock will be turned over to them. As to the $500,030 to be raised before Mr. Field’s munificent offer is secured, $100,003 has been unconditionally subscribed by George M. Pullman. Tho balance, it is said, will be raised in a few days.

Giving the Clerk a Tip.

Detroit Free Press. The swell hotel clerk felt that he had taken his guest’s measure very accurately as the newcomers set down his bag by the counter and reached for the register. “What are the prices of your rooms?” inquired the stranger. “Two dollars and upwards.” “Two dollars and downwards you you mean, don’t you?” inquired the guest meekly. “No, sir; it is just as I said. If you want cheaper rooms you will have to go elsewhere.” The guest was as serene as a May morning. “On what floor are your ?2 rooms?” he asked. “Top floor.” “Anything on the roof?’ The clerk looked surprised. “Of course not.” “Where are o»your high-priced rooms?” “On the lower floor.” “You don’t go up from the 12 rooms to get to them, do you?” “Certainly not.” “You go down from the $2 rooms to get to them, don’t you?” The clerk began to catch on. “Yes, sir,” he said. “If you—” “That is to say’” interrupted the guest, “your prices ares 2 and downwards. Give me the best you’ve got in the house,” and the clerk bowed so low that his diamond stud was thrown completely into the shadow.

The Handle on the Cap.

Kato Field’d Paper. It takes the “well-brought-up’’ child to discover the hidden meaning of things. The other evening, at Mrs. E—’s, in K street, somebody was showing a picture of an artistic loveing cup which had just been presented to a famous actor by his professional brethren. One of the party remarked that it had always been a marvel to him why a loving cup should have three handle. “I can account,” said he, “for one handle as belonging to the lover and the other as belonging to. the beloved; but the third handls— * The shrill voice of Mrs. E—’S youngest, who ha: seen two elder sisters pass through the marriageadle period, piped out: “That’s for the chaperon. ’

The Michigan City News, speaking of Pettit’s prison life’says that he never referred to his case, and he displayed anxiety only for a flew' trial, in which he was confident his innocence would be established. He seemed devoted to the memory of his wife, of whose murder he was accused, and greatly wrapped up in his only child, a girl twelve years old. who resides with his mother at Oswego, N. Y. At Rochester in the circuit court a question was decided of wide interest to Indiana people. An action was brought to restrain the auditor from placing on the duplicate for taxation what is knoym as paid up stock in building and loan associations, and the court held that such stock is exempt from taxation under the statute. The result of this decision, if upheld by the Supreme Gourt, will be farreaching, as there are millions of dollars invested in such stock. 3 A terrible accident occurred near Brooklyn, Tuesday, resulting in the death of one man and the serious injury of four others.

Land in Benton county advanced in price a year ago to from SSO to $75 per acre. It was thought at that time that such high prices could not long be maintained, and when tho country was swept by the pahie of 1893 real estate agents were of the opinion that these high prices must come down. But not so. The price* stay right there, and although but few farms have changed hands lately, excellent prices were paid in every instance. It seems evident that people at length begin to realize that no better farm land can be found than in this county, and an investment in any part of Benton is a safe one. Evidently good prices have come to stay.— Benton Review.
