U. FBAUK HAULY AGAII1 REPORTED AS AJAIIDIDATE rvill Pompous Solon of Lafayette Enter the Lists to Wrest the Senatorial Toga From Beveridge? IAN INTIMATE FRIEND MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT

J. Frank Is Now Out on Temperance Lecturing Tour and So His Views on Matter Are Not Known. Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 30 Once more the story that J. Frank Hanly twill be a candidate for United States 'Senator against Senator Beveridge ihas bobbed up. though diligent search I fails to disclose anyone willing to assume the responsibility of having ! started it Even from the time that ithe Hanly story first started several months ago, no one has claimed its authorship or even admitted that he started it or that he knew anything about it except what he had heard. The party leaders in the state, or, at least those republicans who have in ithe past been leaders, say they know ! nothing at all about it. This time, however, there seems to i be more indications of truth in the ; story than there has ever been before, It is now said" that a man who was appointed to an office by Hanly while he ! was governor has made the statement j that within the last sixty days Hanly told him that he proposes to be a candidate for Senator against Beveridge. The man who is said to have made this statement is now out cf the city and will not return for some time, so it is not possible at this time t. ascertain the truth of the story. Mr. Hanly, also is out of the city on a temperance lecturing tour, so he cannot be asked about It until he returns. And even if he is asked as to the truth of the story when he gets back home it is not likely that the former governor will give out any statement on the subject He seldom talks for publication. By Good Authority. This, renewed talk about Hanly as a senatorial candidate was printed a day or so ago in a 'Cincinnati paper, having been written by a correspondent who ought to know what he Is talking about, and for this reason it has attracted some attention. But it Beems to be the general opinion among the political lights here that the story has no foundation. They do not believe that Hanly will be a senatorial candldrte, but some of them are of the opinion that he may be holding the matter in abeyance in order to use It as a club to force the republican state convention next year to make a v declaration in favor of state wide pro hibition. Hanly is well known to be the bitterest enemy the saloon has in ' Indiana, and he is a state wide prohibitionist, pure and simple. He will not regard his life's work as finished until he has seen a state wide prohibltlon law written on the statute books that will make it impossible to get liquor to drink in Indiana. Bit of History. It is well remembered that last year when there was talk about the repeal of the local option law by the legislature, in which the republicans were to take part, Hanly, then governor, declared that if the republicans failed to sustain the law, and if they repealed it he would take the stump the next time against the party. That's the kind of a temperance man he ' is. Whether this threat of Hanly's had any effect or not, the local option law was not repealed. Only a few republican members of the legislature voted for repeal, and they were members who could not help doing so. The fact that the local option law was placed on the statute books is due to Hanly, and there are many who believe that the fact that it was not repealed is also due to his influence.

Business Review of The Past Week by Henry Clews

A marked change has taken place In speculative sentiment. This was brought about by the disappointing condition of Mr. Harriman's health after a trip abroad, the special purpose of which was its restoration. The reaction began in Union Pacific and quickly extended to the remainder of the, market. Stocks which suffered most were those that previously led the advance. It was evident that the market was ripe for a reaction, and this fact had as much to do with the declines as Mr. Harriman's health, concerning which there was really nothing new to the well informed). Nevertheless, the importance of, Mr. Harriman as a factor in the stock market cannot be disputed. For a long time he has been the dominating element In the speculative arena, but his operations in this Held are now undoubtedly closed, and it is in this quarter that his withdrawal from active affairs will be most noticeable in the public eye. As to the policies regarding his great railroad systems, these are already well established, and will probably be continued with but slight modifications by thoroughly competent successors. Some of these plans may he incomplete, or they may require readjustment to changed circumstances; and the fact that his judgment and attention cannot be

available at such a time must affect! j market just now pays little attention, the value of his securities, particularly continue favorable. The volume of where they have been inflated to ri- j business is steadily expanding. Rediculous figeres by exaggerated expec-1 cent crop reports have not been quite tations as to what Mr. Harriman's ' as satisfactory as last month. August

speculative operations mi.Kht or might not accomplish. Railroad affairs are just now passing through a remarkable change of development in the section of the country served by the Harriman lines, anJ in view of the growing rivalry of other systems, the diminution of Mr. Harriman's activities

will, of course, unfavorably affect his though buyers are wisely pursuing a specialties. Nevertheless, Union Pa-, conservative course in view of the precific and Southern PnHfin must rvn- vailing high level of prices. The iron

so, that he wishes the republican party at its next state convention to make a declaration in favor of state wide prohibition, and this is pointed to as a reason why he might possibly be talking about the senatorship. Undoubtedly Senator Beveridge himself will be the issue in the next State campaign. The Tariff question, as the matter stands now, is the topic that is most in the minds of the people, and Senator. Beveridge will be called en in the next campaign to justify his course in opposing the Aldrich tariff measure in the special session of congress. This will make him the issue, unless something else turns up before the campaign opens. And, inasmuch as Senator Beveridge will be up for re-election, in case the republicans control the next legislature, it is not likely that his followers will wish to have the situation clouded with anything like another liquor fight, similar to the one of last year. In fact, none of the leaders are looking for that kind of a fight and they are all doing their level best to avoid having It. They are willing to let the matter rest, as it is now, with the local option law in force and no further legisla tion on the subject of liquor. Both ' parties are in that same fix. But the iemierance people wish to go further, and it is almost certain that an effort will be made to get the republicans, at least, to adopt a prohibition plank in their platform. They Realized. The republicans realize that if they are to win next year in Indiana they must go into the fight with a united front and not be torn with factional troubles as they were In the campaign last year. The democrats are going into the next campaign with the flush of last year's victory still on their cheeks, and they will put up a fight. So the republicans have got to be together. This is the main reason why so many of them hoDe to keep the liquor question out of the campaign. They point out that to bring it to the front again will have the same effect as last year, when the party lost a vast number of liberal votes because of its stand on the liquor question. They want to hold the liberal as well as all other votes next year, and they feel that this can be done only by leaving out the saloon question. It is also pointed out that this talk about Hanly as a candidate for senator may have been started by democrats who hope thus to drive liberal votes out of the republican ranks and Into the ranks of the opposition. Th9 reason given for this belief is that if it becomes known that Hanly really intends to be a candidate for senator the liberal republicans will help to elect liberal members of the legislature who would oppose Hanly. And the danger that lies in this possibility is that it would probably mean also the repeal of the county option law. So the Hanly story is about the most Important proposition In the political field in Indiana just now. It is fraught with great possibilities in its effect on the next campaign. There is one thing certain. If Hanly does let It be known that he wished to be elected United States senator it will mean the hottest campaign next year that Indiana ever witnessed. Hanly is a fighter. A hard fight puts fat on him. Senator Beveridge is the same way. He is fuller of fire and ginger when he gets through with a hard fight than he was at the beginning. In addition to this the democrats, aided by the liberals of other parties, would certainly put up the fight of their lives. So the prospect for next year is looking up. It look 8 like there may be something doing.

tag fair market prices strictly on their merits and free of the fantasies and mysteries associated with the Harriman regime. It is, of course, Inevita ble that, in due time, Mr. Harriman's directive abilities must entirely cease, a.nd when that contingency arrives it will, no doubt, be found that it has been fully discounted. As previously intimated in these advices, the market has been subjected to violent fluctuations. The fact that prices were much too high has at last been recognized, and the failure of the big holders to successfully unload any considerable portion of their surplus securities cannot be concealed. The public was well advised and did not come into the market to any important extent, so that recent 'losses will chiefly fall upon the professional traders. As to how far the decline will go it is not possible at this writing to .suggest. The market is still in a very feverish state and exposed to further sharp breaks. At the same time the big men have the situation well under

control, and it is within their power to arrest the downward movement whenever it best suits their purposes. A market so largely under the control of artificial influences is necessarily a dangerous one for the average operator, althogh less so than before the decline set in.

MASTERS OF CARVING. Oar Ancestors llml a Vocabulary We Have Qallc Kur(otrn. What do we moderns know about carving? I say that I carve n pheasant when I divide it into two more or less equal portions. Not so our ancestors. Carving is an art. Let me r-iote from an old book on carving sjme oi the terms of that art: Uemember that there wore carving masters in those days, professors of the art. They were itinerants. They did not keep school. They went fr3iu house to house and tat:j;l:t the ladies. As for their social position. I have not ascertained it. Probably they were classed with the itinerant portrait painter. Certainly they did not sit at table with he gc-atlefolk. I fear that their place was the kitchen and that Lady Mary took her lessons in that roam surrounded by the admiring maids. But the only tiling she "carved" was mutton or beef. Yon had to '"break a deer, rear a poese, lift a swan, sauce a cupon, spoil a hen. frmti a chicken, unbrace a mallard, unlace a cony, dismount a heron. dis:l:iy si crime, disfigure a poacjek, unjoiut a bittern, untack a curlew, alr.ye a pheasant, wing a partridge or a quail, mince a plover, thigh a pigeon or any other small bird and border a imc pio." And the acquisition of these terms was only the beginning of knowledge. Loudon Queen. FUNNY LITTLE "FIDDLER." One of tbe Moat Interesting Member. of the trsb Family. One of the most interesting members of the crab family is the queer and grotesque little 'fiddler" which lives in burrows in tbe banks of creeks and estuaries back of the beach. Into these burrows the crab retires in autumn and composes itself for a long winter sleep. Tbe eye stalks are then folded down into sockets beneath the shell and the large claw rests closed and inert against the body, while the legs are folded up until the entire animal is snugly closed upon itself, and it remains in this dormant condition until tbe spring. Early in April the fiddlers awaken and immediately attend to clearing out their burrows. The large claw is useless for eating, only the small one being available for this purpose. It is amusing to see the delicacy with which this little claw feels about and picks up the particles of vegetable matter and places them in the mouth, while the eyes are all the time raised aloft on their stalks and apparently looking off into the distance. The female crabs have both claws small and of equal size, so they are both used in feeding, and she can satisfy her hunger Just twice as easily and quickly as the male. These fiddler crabs also gather food and store it In their burrows for future use. SL Nicholas. IMITATIVE FLOWERS. The Carleatare Plaat la One of Brs utVm Pecaltar Grawtha. The Brazilian flower known as the running antelope is so called because its white petals have a series of well defined, dark colored lines and dots In which the imagination can readily trace the form of an antelope, with its limbs outstretched and bead thrown back, seemingly Seeing for its life. In the "caricature plant" one species has the imitative form on tbe petals, another bas it o tit lined in the ribs and shading of the ribs. This last mentioned curiosity bears a remarkably well executed likeness of the Duke of Wellington and bas on that account been named Arthur and His Nose. Among the orchids the imitative form Is entirely different In character. being exhibited in the shape of the flower itself. Some are exact counter feits of bees, butterflies, moths, etc while others take upon themselves the form of worms and beetles. Natural ists believe that In the first instance It is nature's trap to rare other bees, moths and butterflies, but in the case of the worm and beetle orchids or 1 those that are exact counterparts of toads, lizards and huge spiders tbey do

PETER THE GREAT. JIUiory Shavra That the Old II ale of KassU Wt. a Mooter. Years aJ, wliea a low standard of moral j prevailed, t'.ie epithet -Great" was bestowed upon any monarch who won battles and enlarged the territory and resources of hi. kingdom. It mattered little then to the historian what might be a king's private character, provided lie made h'.s nation formidable by its brute strength au.l full treasury. Even if he was a bad man they eulogized him as a go:d rulr. Peter I. of Russia is called Peter tbe Great because he transformed a barbarous into a semibarbaious nation. But no one can now read the fallowing summary of his character without a feeling of disgust. Voltaire, in his "Philosophical Dictionary." says that "Peter was half boro and half tiser." Macaulay Coclarcs that "to the cud of bis life he lived iu bis palace like a bog in a sty, and when ha was entertained by other sovereigns never failed to leave unequivocal proof that a savage bad been there." Peter, when the fit was on him, literally e.uied everybody from his cook to his counselor, from the meanest peasant to the highest noble sparing neither age nor sex. He would get up from the table cad flcg the host who was entertaining hint. He would stand at the door of the senate house and flog each senator that went In. Lefort was an Intimate and trusted friend. yet ou slight provocation he was knocked down r.nd brutally kicked by his imperial mr.ster. But all this flog ging wc3 in the vrr.y of recreation.

THE DOG DAYS. la tbe Coarse ef Tlase Striae May Kits la Midwinter. Dog days begin, according to tbe tra ditions of boyhood in certain parts of the United States, when the green scum, algae, begins to appear on the surface of the lakes and rivers. Then it is supposed to be uusafe to go in swimming. And it Is then that, ac cording to the tradition of many adults as well as of boys, dogs most frequent ly go mad. All nations and races of civilization apparently bare bad a period during the summer known as dog days when many maladies were supposed to be common. But tbe madness of dogs, hydrophobia, was never associated with dog days by the ancients. Dog days are a rather Indefinite period, according to this green scum rule. but there Is a disagreement of authori ties as to when dog days really do be gin and end. According to the dictionary, "dog days are part of tbe year about the time of tbe heliacal rising of the dog star. Sirius" that is, when tbe dog star rises in conjunction with the sun or as nearly in conjunction as may be observed. Various dates from July S to Aug. 15 have been assigned for the beginning of dog days, and they are given various durations of from thirty to fifty days. It seems to have been from the heliacal rising of Sirius that the ancients most commonly reckoned the dog days. Thus at the present time dog days would begin July 3 and will end Aug. 11. Sirius Is the brightest star In the heavens, and it was easy to associate the mutual beat of the brightest star and of the sun with the hottest and most unkindly period of the year. Hip pocrates (400 B. C.) declared the dog da vs to be the most unhealthy part of tbe summer. Dog days are continually dropping farther back in the calendar. Now they are twelve days behind the sched ule to which they held In tbe period of tbe pbaraobs. In time Sirius may rise in the dead of winter. The Egyptians maintained tbat the first indication of the rise of tbe Nile took place on the morning of the longest day, when, as tbey said, the sun and Sotbls (Sirius) rose together. Tbey attributed the rise of the river entirely to the great beat generated by this star in conjunction with tbe sun. Sirius Is situated in the mouth of the constellation Canls Major (the "great dog"). The Latin name of dog days was "dies canlcularls. and from this comes the term "canicular year, which was known among the Egyptians and Ethiopians. It was computed from one heliacal rising of Sirius to the next and consisted ordinarily of 365 days, every fourth year having 366 days.-Cbicago News.

DULL SEASON NOT DULL Notwithstanding the fact that this is the dull season so far as the hotel business is concerned, it was stated by the proprietor of a local hostelry this morning that never in his experience had he witnessed such a phenomenal business during the hot summer months as was being conducted at the present time in this city. Practically every hotel in the city la "full to the brim," a very rare occurrence for August. The hotel keepers attribute this fact to the general prosperity of the coun try. As a rule the Influx of drummers does not start until the first of October or latter part of September, at least, but this year there has been a continual stream of traveling men and it has been a hard matter to accommodate all. The numerous automobile parties and tourists which have passed through this city this summer also are responsible in a great measure for the increasing business. Kept Him tm the Rules, Sir Frederick: Thesiger. while engaged in the conduct of a -case, objected to the irregularity of the counsel on tbe opposite side, who, in examining his witnesses, put leading questions. "I hare a right." answered the counsel, "to deal with any witnesses as I please." "To tbat I offer no ebJectJee," retorted Sir Frederick: rou may deal as you like, but you shan't lead."
