HUSHES To Lecture Ecfore tho Historical Society on February 27. Ono of the really great orators of Indiana will Le heard on Saturday, February 27, at 10 a. m., in the person of Dr. Edwin Holt Hughes, the newy inaugurated president of De Pauw University, who will speak before the Wayne' County Historical society at the court house. Dr. Hughes is a fine orator, and it is a pleasure to hear him. His Eng lish, is pure, his distinct articulation and general good qualities are pleasing. He won the state oratorical contest for De Pauw in 1889, and is thought by many to be the equal of Senator Beveridge in many respects. However that may be, Dr. Hughes is an eloquent, forcible speaker and the public is invited to hear what will probably be the best oration here this winter. HORSE AND RIG RECOVERED. Last September Albert W. Wag ner, of Greenville, Ohio, had a horse and rig stolen from him at Greenville, and, up to yesterday; had not recovered the same. Yesterday a man named Day was arrested by New Castle officers and the missing horse and rig was in his possession. . . ' -

THE WRONG- HAT

Judge Abbott Felt Like the Republican County Chairman. Judge Abbott was about as near being a Republican yesterday as he ever will be. He was attending court in the morning with' the other members of the Wayne County bar, and after giving the court all the advice he thought it needed, retired f rora the room, picket! up attorney A. M. Gardner's hat and putting it upon his head proceeded on his wTay. It Avasn't long until Mr. Gardner missed his hat and following after the genial judge found him in the county clerk's office and exchanged hats. The judge said he thought he felt rather peculiar and couldn't tell what the matter was until Mr. Gardner approached him, and then the fact dawned upon him that Mr. Gardner's hat made him . feel like the chairman of the Republican county central committee. He said he knew it was a man's hat, but it felt rather small. olFsoidTsr Summarily Disposed of Superintendent of Police Gormon. Levi Ridgby was arrested by the police last ni.uht and taken to the police station. He is an old soldier, and carriers an honorable discharge. Asa Uhl, of north eighteenth street, has befriended the ohl fellow and cared for him ,although no relation, but the old fellow does not seem to reciprocate the favor. Superintendent Gormon thought the best thing to do with him would be to send him to the Soldiers' Home at Dayton, and loaded him on an interurban car and sent him to that institution, without ceremony. When they arrive there he will be turned loose upon the authorities, and it will be up to them to dispose of him. empbessofTchina Report in Official Circles That She is Dead. London, Feb. 19. A Canton dispatch says it is reported in official circles that the Dowager Empress of China is dead. SLEET AND SNOW. Lexington, y., Feb. 19. The sleet and snow damaged the fruit trees, and stock is suffering. Japanese Arelier. In Japan archers test their arrows by balancing them on the nails of the second and third fingers of the left hand and rapidly twirling them by the feathered end with the lingers of the right. If the arrow makes a whirling sound, it is crooked and must be straightened. Florida Orane. Florida produces tifty-six varieties of oranges and has a crop of from 4,000,000 to 7,000,000 boxes a year. Labrador.'' There are few trees to be seen throughout the 700 miles. of seaboard of Labrador, between the strait of Belle Isle and Cape Chudleigh. and absolutely none above 58 degrees north latitude. Sponfres. To keep a sponge in good condition wash it occasionally with warm water containing a little tartaric acid; rinse afterward with clean warm water. DangrerM of Divers. One of the greatest dangers a diver has to face is that of falling asleep on a hot day owing to the contrast between the boat above and the coolness below water. A diver states that he once slept for half an hour at the bottom of a wreck where he was at work. Tutty . and Soft Sonp. To remove panes of glass lay soft i soap over the putty which holds them, j and after a few hours the putty, however hard, will become soft and easy to scrape away. The Heliotrope. The heliotrope has been described as a quick tempered plant because, like all half shrubby plants, if it is allowed to wilt for want of water it does not recover so readily as do the succulent plants. It may recover for the moment, but many of the leaves will turn black and fall off. A Town In a Mine. There is a quicksilver mine in Peru in which are streets, squares and' a chapel. Slolt Leflvesi. It has been calculated that the loss from illness averages 20.000,000 weeks of work In a year, or 2'2 per cent of the work done by the whole population between fifteen and sixty-five years of age.

HURRYING OCEAN MAIL.

American Liners neat the Brltlsk Record With Oar Letters. f Letters to Europe lu the? year 1901 probably will be better and more expeditiously handled than in any period since the United States bus bad a postomee department. This is due largely to the recent change of the sailing day of the American line steamers from Wednesday morning to Saturday. These vessels formerly carried the Wednesday mails, which are now being carried by White Star vessels, and tho change has enabled them to take charge of the end-of-the-week mail, which is very much the larger. How large it is may be judged from the fact that every week from 5,000 to 7,000 lags of mail leave New York for Europe, each bag containing from 4,000 to 5,000 letters and from 200 to 400 papers. During the Christmas rush, for example, the steamship Philadelphia carried 2,000 bags of mail matter on a single voyage. , Under the older arrangements the Saturday mail to Europe reached 'London too late for Saturday distribution, and, as there Is no distribution of mails on Sunday ia ; London, the American letters remained an entire day in the English postoflice before going onward toward their destination. The American line vessels, however, get the mail to London in time for Saturday distribution. This distribution is very much facilitated by the fact that the vessels carry anocean branch of the United States posfoffice. From the time a ship steams out of New York harbor until the mail bags are to be forwarded to the London office the postal clerks on board the ship are busily sorting and arranging letters. . The change in sailing time of the American line was made by arrangement with the United States postoffice officials, and aside from other facts it Is interesting to note that it places a large amount of the United States foreign mail under the United States flag. Unlike the English government, Uncle Sam, however, has always had a way of choosing the most convenient and quickest vessels for forwarding his letters, and even now a letter posted in England must be marked "Via American packet" if the writer wishes it to take.the first ship for America. A Use For Muffs. "What a pretty little dog!" " ;' "I'm glad you like him." ! "Where did you get him?" "Well, I don't mind telling you that I adopted him one evening last week. I was walking up North Tearl street with A. when the puppy came out of one of the hallways and ran toward us eager to play. She dared me to pick it up and take it home, and I would not be dared. I lifted the little love and placed him inside this big muff, and, feeling decidedly guilty, we both hurried uptown. When near Orange street we heard footsteps behind us and turned to see a man running toward us. Instinctively we grabbed our skirts and increased our speed, and I tell you we were greatly relieved when the man behind boarded a motor car, which proved to be the object of his hurry. I have grown attached to Fido, but I wouldn't want to go through that experience again for the whole world." j This , was a conversation I overheard on a trolley car the other evening, which proves that other things besides dainty hands' can be concealed In a muff. Albany Journal. Profits In Pecan Raisins. Some of the finest pecans in the world are said to be raised in Florida, where the industry is becoming important. A long time, eleven years, is required for a pecan grove to come to maturity, so that it requires patience to wait for the profits, but there are records of single trees yielding as much as $16 worth of nuts in a single season. In Jacksonville twenty-six trees lining an avenue yielded 800 pounds of nuts that sold for $160 in cash. And at the same time the trees adorned the avenue and added greatly to Its attractiveness. Jacksonville Times-Union. i Bleat Eat I iik and Appendicitis. Recent investigations made by surgeons in the French army in all parts of the world demonstrate, to their satisfaction at least, that the prevalence of appendicitis is in exact proportion to the prevalence of meat eating. This may or may not be true, but a person W7ho is suffering from appendicitis or any other disease will not lose anything by abstaining from the use of meat for a time and noticing the effect on his complaint. This much may be said even if vegetarianism is a delusion. Chicago Chronicle. Fnrs and the Throat. Mine. Antoinette Sterling was a great advocate of fresh air. Not only $id she regularly patronize the tops of buses, but even when in a cab she sat in the . back seat and kept both windows .open. Furthermore, she always declined to wear any fur or wrap round her neck and used to declare that people who coddled their throats often caught colds, but that she never did. A celebrated example like this Is worth quoting since all the medical teaching Is entirely in accord with her theory. London Chronicle. The Marconi Stamps. The ' painter Miehetti, who designed the new Italian postage stamps, devised an ingenious detail for the two centosirni stamps which are in honor of Marconi, a telegraph pole from which the wires hang down useless. All the stamps were made at the desire of the king, who had come to the conclusion that Italy's stamps were no better than those of France, England and Germany and did not reflect honor on a country kuown as the home of classical art. .
