CI;

That the Democrats of he Sixth District are in favor of the Rev. T. 11. Kuhn of thin city, for the next Democratic candidate for Governor has been evidenced in the past by the prompt response the Democratic press has made, to the suggestion. In several cases the Republican papers of the 'district have commented favorably on Rev. Kuhn's candidacy, while state papers of both parties have given the idea considerable attention,. Xow District Chairman Meek, comes to the front with a letter to "The Hoosier," the Democratic organ of the state and highly commends the candidacy of Dr. Kuhn, and the growing sentiment among the Democrats of the state. In favor of the preacher politician, who made such an excellent., race .for Congress against James K. Watson, in the campaign just closed. Mr. Meek's letter follows: Editor The Hooaier, Indiana polity Iud. Dear Sir: , The sentiment coming to me from all sections of the Cth district seems spontaneous and unanimous that Rev. Thos. II. Kuhn who made such a clean, valiant and aggressive race in this old burnt district, against one of the stand pat Representatives with all the help that the President could give the Hon. James E. Watson, j would be worthy of honor and would j make a winning man for the head of

the Democratic ticket for Governor in 1903. I heartily endorse the sentiment of the people of this district and recommend the Rev. Thomas II. Kuhn to

the people cf the State as one worthy of our confidence.

We'ean " find no more capable,

cleaner, worthier man to head our

State ticket. He Is an orator second

io none, an ideal campaigner, high

ninded .educated christian gentleman,

who makjes. friends with all classes,

is he Is a man of the people; and .vould make a Governor of whom

Indiana would be proud.

VON ZEPPELIN'S MAMMOTH AIRSHIP, WHICH CARRIES NINE PERSONS. The most powerful airship ever snccessfully operated is Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin's latest model, in which he h:s made remarkable trial trips, carry ing nine persons. The ship was built chiefly with a view to its use in war Count von Zeppelin formerly was a lieutenant general in the German army This ship is 430 feet long. The great aluminium cylinder of this length incloses fifteen balloons In separate compartments. Carriages for passengers, ballast and machinery are suspended both forward and aft below the cylinder. Each carriage contains a powerful motor. A speed of from eighteen to thirty mile.an hour was maintained on the trial flights, and the ship was brought back and alighted on the ffoat from which it had risen.

BOARD MAY APPOINT MORE PATROLMEN

Indications are that within a comparatively . short time . the Police Commissioners will take steps toward the appointment of the additional number of patrolmen allowed Richmond under the law and also devise means for more speedy assembling of the men in cases of emergency. It is also suggested that a special policeman should bo kept about the building to be sent out when there is call for an officer and none is within notifying distance of the sergeant.'

It Traveled Hound tlie World

Caused Lots of Anxiety. One of the silliest lies ever told was the famous invention of Sailor Man John Drenn.in of Sligo. It was made out of whole cloth. There wasn't the shadow of foundation for it, but there was so much that might have been true about it that it was tabled round the world wherever men go down to the sea in ships, and for several hours it kept hundreds of penjple on the rack of anxiety. About 3 o'clock on the afternoon of Oct. 14, 1891. a bulletin was posted at the New York Maritime Exchange that the City of Home had foundered off St. Shorts, off the coast of New foundland. About the same time the' newspaper offices got a dispatch from St. John'.-;, X. P., saying that Sailor Man John Brennan of Sligo. Ireland, had got in!-o the little town of Trepasay that morning from Peter's river and had declared that he was probably the only survivor of the City of Iiome, which had struck oa the rocks and gone down. He was in such a condition of exhaustion that nothing more could be got out of him until he had had rest and nourishment. That story was cabled and telegraphed everywhere, and at once the newspapers began to strive for furthor details. The first eiTort was to get confirmation or denial. It was found

! at once that the City of Iiome had . sailed from New York rt such, a time

that she must have bee 1 near St. Shotts when Brennan said she was there. That looked like conlirmatlon. The evening papers got out extras, with lists of the passengers and crew, pictures of the ship and her history. The offices of the Anchor Line agents were crowded with persons eager for news. But there was no news. Friends

of the passengers flocked about the place. The Maritime and Lloyd registers were searched for reports of other ships with names similar to that of the City of Rome. An Italian Citta di Roma' was found, but when she was tracked it was found she was all right. Then the newspapers began to prepare to send men to the scene of the wreck. Ko-ton papers got men off for Halifax, there to take ocean tugs for St. Shotts. All the time the telegraph and cable were worked for further news from Newfoundland. At last there came a dispatch from the cable statfon at Cape Race to the Anchor Line acents hero:

-Your City of Rome passed here on Tuesday. All well, it said." That w?.s all. For the next twentyfour Lours the truth hustled to overtake the lie. It succeeded, but it was a Lard chase. Brennan had absolutely nothing on which to go in making up his story, lie couldn't have known even that the 'City of Rome was in New Y'ork or had soiled. He just fired in the air, nrl, as mny happen once in ten million times: he hit the mark.

The Cliolr He Wnnted. John Fiske, the American historian, was an ardent lover of music an 1 him

self no mean musician. Furthermore, ' he was extrem-ly corpulent and felt j theMiot weather painfully. lie was ! once delivering a course of lectures nt j a summer school la a small city of the j middle w"est. Tin; heat was .terrific, i and adjoining the house where the lec-

j turer stayed was a "church where an

ill matched. but zealous "quartet" prac

I ticcd and performed during all hours

I of the torrid afternoons and evenings

; One evening, seeing the famous man sit for a time unoccupied and apparent

ly oppressed by this combined affile

tion, the young daughter of his hostess

attempted to divert him by offering him a new novel, then just becoming

popular. "I think 'The Choir Invisible' is perfectly splendid, Mr. Fiske," saJd she. "Wouldn't you like to read It?" The historian put the book aside. "My dear young lady," said he, "the only

choir in the world in which I could feel any interest at this moment would

be the choir inaudible."

Tlie Next Step.

The schoolmaster of a small village

asked his pupils the following ques

tion:

, "In a family there are five; children, and the mother has only four potatoes between them. She wants to give every child an equal share. What is

she going to do?"

Silence reigned while everybody thought hard till a little boy stood up

and gave to the great surprise of the

master the following answer:

"Mash the potatoes, sir." Judge's

The Board of Public Works is seriously contemplating an improvement at the Municipal Light and Power company, that it is estimated will save the city at least $1,000 each year. The improvement is not a new one in the city but has never been used at the light plant. It is the intention of the Board to have the present coal sheds greatly enlarged, and after covers have been placed upon them, the Board will then have automatic stokers installed. The entire handling of the coal at the plant will then be done automatically and the services of stokers and coal handlers at the plant will be dispensed with. President C. W. Merrill of the Board went to Dayton yesterday to consult with Meade & Company, which has charge of the installation of the new engine and other improvements in the local light pla The Board of Public Works is not satisfied with the delays that have been encountered during the past few

weeks, and President Merrill went to ascertain the exact reasons wh the work is not progressing more rapidly. The huge turbin engine will be ready for shipment in the course of the next few weeks, and will then be installed. However before the installation can be made a cement foundation must be laid and as yet no work towards this end has been done. The Board of Works deems it advisable that this be placed in form before the engine ar-Vves, so that the engine can be set up immediately. The plant will then be able to meet the greatly increasing business.
