VENDETTA,

OB,

The Story of One Forgotten, BT MARIE CORELLL

THE VEKDETTA Is founded on an actual occurrence which took place In Naples daring the lattccathing visitation of the cholera in M84- It 1« ft a lory of an outraged husband's vengence In Italy, where the verbosity and red tape of the law, and the hesitating verdict of special Juries, are not considered jiufflclently efficacious to sooth a man's damaged honor and ruined name. It Is an Illustration that whether right or wrong strange and awful deeds are perpetrated of which the world knows nothing, and which when brought to light at last, are received with surprise and lncredulety. Itshows that the romances planned by the brain of the novelist ordramatlst are poor In comparison with the romances of real 11 fo life wrongly termed common place but which, In tact, teems with tragedies as great and dark and soul torturing as any hertoforedevised. It Is a story most Intensely Interesting from begin! ng t6 end, and no one who opce commences it will want to lay It down until the end is reached.

SOME NEW FEATURES

A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

THKRK IS absolutely no truth in the report that John Sherman is going to retire from the senate to engage in the ice business with Benjamin Harrison.

FRKDEIUCK DOUGLASS has handed in his resignation minister to Hayti. It is thought there are still a few Indiana men unproylded for from whom bis successor could be selected.

JOITN S. CI»AKK80N visited the presi dent at the latter's seaside resort this week. Following came the cool breeze of Tuesday evening. Mr. Clarkson should cal^frequently during the heated term. __________

TUB present season will go down Into history as one noted for the great number and fatality of its aooidenta, and in nearly every case the yictlms have been people away from home on pleasure excursions. ____________________

TUB highly colored word painting used by the California artists in describing their earthquake last Sunday has been cutout, pasted in their scrap books and oarefuily laid away by the Evans villo newspaper men, who are patiently looking for another shook,

MARION county, this state, has disposed of $150,000 in jail bonds at par, the purchaser being an Indianapolis bank This is a sign of prosperity of which the county may well feel proud. It is an evidence that the banks have plenty of money and that few people want to borrow,

A IIRKH war which threatens disaster to the breweries is in progress in India napolitrf The home producers are fighting against the imported article, but as they cannot protect themselves they are likely to go to the wall. It is a free trade light all around and the foreigner is likely to get the best of it in this case.

TIIK fellow who set himself up in Ohio in the rain producing business has proven himself to be a dire, disgusting failure. The more he has tried to have it rain tho hotter has it become, and thero is reason to believe that it will be much hotter still in his locality if be undertakes to humbug the people any more.

FIVK patients from Texas were received at the Pasteur institute in New York this week, all of whom had been bitten by the same dog. Heretofore it has generally been considered that the Texan (eared nothing «o Insignificant as a dog bite, andj|at he was proof against anything but Winchester rifle* and the Democratic party.

Ttis people of Kansas City, Kansas, are up in arms against their city council because of a proposition to purchase an electric light plant for 1340,000. Talk of corruption la heard on every band, and the proof in strong enough to create the suspicion that even In municipal affiUrs the Kansas statesman Is not out in thatoountry for his health.

Tins new* comes from Utah that the Mormon church Is about to split wide open, and that the headqoartera of Joseph Smith, jr., who hi at present the head of the Mormon faith, will be removed to Ogdco. The telegram was sent oat from Qgden. Severn! yea** ago when the Weatern Kansas boom collapsed a number of the principal boom* «rs of that section move* to Ogden, whew they have since been operating. They have been unable to unload their Ogdeu property, and a Mormon split with a settlement In their town weald

lift them out. The Kansas boomer is a great schemer, and this is doubtless one of his projects. The boomer should be prohibited by law. He is a drawback to any country, and rain and desolation follow wherever he goes.

EX-8KXATOB INGALLS packed up hie nerve with his dictionary and. went down to Kentucky this week to lecture the people of that state on "The Problems of our Second Century." He was introduced at Lexington by Senator Blackburn. The noted Kansan Is somewhat of a curiosity in Kentucky, and as such will doubtless draw large crowds.

THE first woman admitted, to practice law in Massachusetts died in Boston this week. She graduated from the Boston law school in 1881, but the courts closed their doors against her until the legislature took the matter up and enacted a law making women eligible. Her name was Mrs. Lilia Robinson 8*wtelle, and she was a vigorous, speaker and forcible writer.

THE Boston superintendent of streets professes to have been greatly shocked the other day by the offer of a contractor to pay him ten per cent, commission on all city wprk which should be allotted to him, and there are threats of a prosecution. It is said that "every man has his price," and in this case the contractor evidently guessed away below the figure. Next time he should investigate before making an offer.

WHIMS the Denver newspapers have been making war on each other for the past two years, and accusations of every kind have been flying thick and fast, some of the city officials have very quietly got in their work on the treasury to the extent of more than $26,000, another evidence that the press should devote its attention to the people it professes to represent, rather than indulge in the contemptible abuse of professional rivals

EDITOR GEORGE JONES, of the New York Times, died on Wednesday morning at the age of 80 years. His life is the life of thepaper which he controlled, and on whioh he has done such good work. Born poor he steadily worked his way up to the peBition whioh he held at his death, and his life is a shining example of the possibilities in this country to any young man who possesses the qualities of energy, perseverance and honesty.

HON. JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL died at his home in Cambridge, Mass., last Wednesday morning, aged 72 years. He was descended from a family noted for its eminent lawyers and ministers. He was the most scholarly product of American civilization, a man of diversified genius, and while not conspicuously brilliant in any particular line, he was such a man who is very Beldem found, and whose loss the country can ill aflord.

IN a letter written Dy Senator Gordon of Georgia, this week, that gentleman deprecates any movement by.the Democrats to break down the Alliance, whioh he characterizes as "the most powerful arm raised or that can be raised for our defense." Of the downfall of the A1 liance he says: "It would postpone for along period the possibility of securing the relief we seek, and which wise, just and conservative Democratic legislation will bring to the agricultural interests and to the masses of the American peo pie." The letter is a very good campaign document for the Republicans, and they will take out of It all they can, to the discomfiture of the Allit nee.

DOWN in Bibb, county, Alabama, the law and order people seem to have an extremely hard time of it. A short time ago a man was murdered there because he was a witness for the prosecution in a murder trial. Five persons charged with his assassination have been arrested and the people are compelled to stand guard over them to prevent' a rescue. Guards have also been placed over the witnesses for the state to prevent them from being murdered. The existence of such a state of afifcirs in "Darkest Africa" would cause no surprise, but certainly something better is expected of the people of Alabama, where the white man considers himself so much the superior of his colored brother that the latter has no rights which the former is bound to respect.

YKARS ago when the dranger movement sprung into existence In this country co-operative stores were opened by the farmers, and goods were sold to membexv of the organisation at cost. The venture was disastrous, and thoee who went into it lost their money. With the granger movement the co-op-era tive store was revived, and is turning out just as it did before. It is only a lew weeks since a large number of farmers in Texas were called upon to pay a lot of notes which they had endorsed for the purchase of a stock of goods, and from which they had never derived the benefit of a cent. This week word comes from Georgia that the business agent of the Alliance Exchange of that state Is abort from $35,000 to #40,000. Thoee who tone money by such experience doubtleae profit by it, but no amount of warning will deter others from following in their foetstepe and doing precisely the same thing.

I* addition to being the literary and seetheUc copter of the oniveree, Boston aspires to set the fashions tor the women of America and others throughout the world who may choose to follow. It is announced that on the first rainy day of October three hundred ladies o? the Hub will appear on the streets in abort waterproof akirta and long gaiters. The skirts are to be of heavy waterproof material, kilted, and attractive as poMt» ble, the oaetunte to be completed with long boots. Boston always has been the

SATURDAY

seat of radicalism in this conntiy, and if the date of that rainy October day could only be aimouuced a short time In ad-' ancfe the rush of bald heads to the Massachusetts

Metropolis

would be some­

thing enormous. The innovation is ridiculed by business women generally, who, while they admit that many of their sex are willing to make a laughing stock of themselves, are net prepared to believe that any considerable number of them will do so. But the women who have gone into the movementinsist that it is no momentary craze, and that they will persist in wearing the strange apparel until It becomes popular with the sex. Doubtless they think they will, but before they can meet with any degree of success they must first overcome the disgusting folly, or inebecility, of would be fashionable Americans who can see nothing good in their own country, and who will adopt nothing until they are thoroughly satisfied that "it's English you know."

THE FAIR.

Lt

About the busiest place in Indiana at the present time is the fair grounds east of the city, which are being prepared in better style than ever before for the grand event of the year, commencing on Monday, August 24th. There are over a hundred men hard at work on the new amphitheater, whioh will be finished by Wednesday next. Though not as large as some other buildings which aould be mentioned, it is said to be the handsomest and best of its kind in the country, and it certainly does add much to the appearance of the grounds. The spleadid mile track has also been put in excellent condition, and is smooth as a dancing floor while firm as rock.

The exibition in all rings promises to be by far the best which has ever been seen on these grounds, or, for that matter, on any other grounds in the state. The largest addition to the display is a flock 200 registered Shropshire sheep, brought all the way from Canada, and kept In a large tent on the grounds. Entries in all classes are already being made, and the directors are feeling very proud of the flattering prospects of suocess.^_________________
