Small Chance For Tom’s Release.

The following is from the Saturday Michigan City News; “The McCoy habeas corpus care against Warden Reid has been brought before Judge Tuthill in the superior court. Attorneys John F. McHugh and Charles A. Burnett cf Lafayette arrived this morning with the papers in the case and after summoning Judge Tuthiil home from Laporte, where he was on court matters, filed the case before him this afternoon. The habeas corpus proceedings Are for the purpose of securing the release of Tom McCoy. Today’s action brings to a focus the Controversy between Warden Reid and Attorney General Bingham as to whether the “good behavior” act is applicable to prisoners serving an indeterminate sentence. Bingham con* tends that it does apply, and Warden Reid contends it does not. “The habeas corpus case will not only decide whether McCoy shall go free, but the ruling of the court will have general application to all such cases, although the Tuthill ruling will be appealed and the final ruling will come from the supreme court. "Judge Tuthill issued the writ and the case Is returnable at 9 o’clock Saturday morning, Feb. 20, a which time McCoy will appear in the superior court and the case will be argued.” Governor Marshall has evidently hrd a tip from Rensselaer as to what he should do In the premises, for he has now informed Warden Reid, according to the Friday Michigan City News, to stand pat, and let the McCoy attorneys bring the acion for release. As the ease will be taken to the supreme court, no matter Who wins in the habeas corpus i hearing before Judge Tuthill it is certain that McCoy’s maximum sentence will expire before a decision from that tribunal could be rendered. Thus, will Pass the tot ‘chance of securing McCoy's release short Of the completion of his mntanoe.

RIVALS OF AMERICAN GIRLS

Are Growing Up in the Transvaal and will be Dangerous. The day of the South African girl has hardly arrived yet; but when it ; comes, says a writer in the Queen, let Americans see to their laurels, for they will have dangerous competitors in the field. The Dutch women of the Transvaal are tall and splendidly developed, and there are the two distinct types, the purely Dutch with golden brown hair, gray or hazel eyes and creamy skin and the brunette of French descent with dark eyes and hair and rich dark coloring. But both types are on a larger scale than their European antecedents. The sun of South Africa is a great vltalizer," and the children of that land of vast spaces have more room to grow and develop in, and they lead from their infancy such an out of doors life that they are bound to be an improvement physically on their sisters of the northern hemisphere. Dutch women of South Africa always accompanied their husbands in their large hooded, slow moving wagons. Their nomadic existence tended to carelessness of habits and dress, but it developed in them an infinite capacity for persevering effort, a strength of character, & stubbornness, as well as •great vitality, all of which excellent qualities go to the making of a stroqg nation. The present generation can~be divided into two distinct classes, the inhabitants of the veld and those of the:towns and villages, ; and while the fundamental characteristics are the same—grit, tenacity, levelheadedness, independence—still, there is a wide difference between the Boer woman of the country and the educated Dutch woman of the towns. The former on reaching the age Of 30 are large, fat and heavy. They marry very young and have 1 patriarchial families, and over husband and children they wield a great sway, an influence very much greater than that of the English woman. To a stranger the Boer vrouw appears stupid and silent; she shuts her mouth determinedly and sits stolidly through his visit; but in reality she is taking a detailed memorandum of his appearance, ways, and manners and nothing escapes her notice. If she is .persuaded of his friendliness and good intentions she may relax a little, but the Dutch never by any chance tell you anything more than they wish you to know. The Boer women have always been accustomed to a good supply of Fafir servants on their farms and they are not quite the energetic housewives one Imagines but they generally prevail on their servants to get the work done to their satisfaction and there is one branch of housewifery in which they excel —the making of “komfyt” or preserves, whether jam-making of the ordinary kind or a more elaborate v method of preserving the delicious fruit of the land. Wide as the poles asunder are the educated Dutch women of the towns or those Indeed of the country who have been sent to Cape Colony or to Europe to school. As adaptable as the Americans, with decided mental ability, they are full of common sense, of good tempered gayety and an inherent sense of savoir vivre.

A girl who has been to a good school In South Africa and afterwards In Europe has something most charming and fascinating about her. Handsome, vivacious, capable, with a clear Idea of what she wants and how to get it, she carves a pleasant and useful way for herself through life. Her out of doors life has made her strong and healthy and she sees the advantage of a certain amount of exSince the war, if not before, she has taken a gr«at interest in politics as well as in the work of her father or husband and in philanthropical matters she displays strong organizing ability She has not yet developed the “female bachelor” ways of Independent English womanhood, for In South Africa in every colony there is a large surplus of men and the Dutch girl Invariably marries young and rules husband and family ever after.

Combination.

For a bedroom lilac and green will be an attractive change from the usual pink and white, or blue and white scheme. Have the wall paper in a lilac pattern on a white ground:; a white celling and thin while muslin curtains at the windows, with a border of cretonne to match the paper., For the white enameled bedstead use a cretonne spread and a French bolster. This may be of plain white dimity, with a border of the cretonne or made entirely of the cretonne. On a hardwobd floor have two or three white wnd Hlac rag nigß. A comfort able white enameled chair upholstered in the flowered cretonne will tbe pretty and the bureau covers can also be of the same material.

Nursery furniture should never he upholstered, as It creates and holds dust. A rug is almost an unnecessary article, and an endless source of Alls. Have the corners ..of the table, well rounded off, place the lamp in a high bracket and have a high fender if you wish your children to escgpe mkhy df the ushal nursery accidents. It ip not generally known, but to prevent cakes from buttling, place a ‘ little -biWn at the bottom 'of the -tins. This Will save a lot of grumbling and

Celebrate die Lincoln Centenary.

About 125 people, old soldiers, their wives afi4 soldiers’ widows, -members of the Ladies of the G. A. R, and members of the families of all, enjoyed a fine supper prepared by the G. A. R. ladies Fiiday night and spent a most enjoyable evening in commemoration cf the life of Abraham Lincoln, whose birth occurred a hundred years before. A number of those present discussed the life of America’s foremost man of all generations, and the review of the great life and wonderful accomplishments of Abraham Lincoln prove very interesting and before tie tlpae for adjournment almost every person present had contributed to the praise of Lincoln either by reciting some incident of his life or by quoing from sqlme of his speeches. During the course cf tie i e-parks of one of the speakers it was requested that all those prerent who had ever seen Abraham Lincoln r?ise to their feet. John Kresler, Join Zimmerman, J. M. Wasson, Thos. Crockett and Mrs. Katie Lee responded. Mr. Kresler had first seen .Lincoln as he reviewed the Army of the Potomac for the first time on. Nov. 7, 1861. McClelland was in command of the army and the President and his son “Tad” road beside the general Other occasions. John Zimmerman saw Lincoln at Lancaster, Pa. In • 1861, as he was on his way to Washington to be inaugurated. Cap f . J. M. Wasson was a prisoner s>t war “for a considerable length of time, and it was at the close of the war, on April 5, 1865, that he saw Lincoln

on the wharf at Cedar Pointy below Washington. ’This was just nire days before his assassination. Thos. Crockett was net quite distinct about the occasion that he saw Lincoln. He was a soldier and is su e that some time during the'r campaign a train bearing Lincoln went thi ough some place where his regiment was stationed, but he is unable to distinctly recall the place. Mrs. Lee saw him when she was a little girl, ■at Bloomington, 111., at a big republican rally. Mrs. S. R. Nichols saw the body of Lincoln as it laid in state at Indianapolis, as it was being brought back to Springfield, 111., for burial. J. C. Thompson, of Fair Oaks, was present, and spoke of some lecollections of the war period, in a most pleasing way. Capt. Wasscn, John Kresler, Henry Wood, Mrs. E. P. Honan, Mrs. A. L. Padgitt, Mrs. Julia A. Healey, Mrs. J. *C. Porter, Mrs. M. E Spitler and others contributed to the enjoyment of the evening by short speeches. Several of the older men present had voted for Lincoln, some in the field and some when home on a furlough. The evening was both pleasurable and profitable and was a worthy tribute to the "man of the hour” during the crises that threateded to overthrow our nation.

Beat Brookston at Basket Ball.

The Rensselaer militia company basket ball team surprised the small crowd that witnessed the game with the Brookston athletic association Saturday night by defeating their adversaries. It was the first game the locals had ever played and they were anticipating defeat. The vislors took the lead in the first part of the game, scoring two field and one foul goals before the local team got the hang of things, but at the end of the first half the soldiers had overcome the lead and the score stood, Company M 13; Brookston 10. In the second half the visiters we e unable to make, a f eld basket and score only two points on free throws, but the soldiers’ aim had improved, they had readjusted their wind gauges, increased their elevation and were making bulls eyes with every throw, and succeeded in making 24 points during the half. The final soore was Brookston 12; Company M 36. Prof. Garlough, of the Brookston schools accompanied the visitors, and in company with Louis Nageleisen, of St. Joseph’s College, officiate at the game. It was a very pleasant event soelally, and the work of both officials gave the utmost satisfaction. The Brookston boys are planning a return game for the looais, and will probably have the soldiers down there in. about three weeks.
