A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

MAN ABOUT TOWN.

Judge Taylor ha» decided the liquor law cases, and in the way It was expected he would decide them. The judge's opinion bears strong evidence that he was impressed with the belief that people thought he would decide against the law, and devotes most of the two columns and a half to scolding the legislature and meeting anticipated criticism by "laymen"—as be calls those who are in the habit (much justified) of criticising courts for nullifying the laws made by tht people through their representative*. Incidentally the judge s*.vs that there in need of more rtstrict ve laws regarding the saloon business, and that he hold# that the legislature has the power to legislate in that direction, which doesn't at all consist with the Democratic howl set up by the party leaders at the time the measure was passed that it was "sumptuary legislation" and infringed on Individual lib erty, etc etc. So, altogether, his honor may be said to be "all right on the stock law." tt is a very good guess that the Su preme court will sustain the Nicholson law. It will di so on the gHoorai principal that If the people want, that kind of a law they ought to have it. Some years ago the courts passed upon laws more as if judges were expected to find technical faults rather than to perform ihe duty imposed by our form of government on the courts as a co-ordinate branch. The judge who could set aside the most laws was the ablbst jurist. But the practice was carried too far and public sentiment called a halt. Judges who were constantly defeating the will of the people by finding technical flaws were objeots of public censure, and that is what Judge Taylor had in mind, no dr ubt, when be refered to the "laymen" wbo might "stand and abuse the courts." The pendulum has swung the other way and the courts are hunting excuses to let bad laws stand instead of technical faults on which to base adverse decisions. There isn't a particle of doubt that the Nichol son law is a botch in the sense of rhetorical construction but the intent of the lawmakers is very plain. It might be said that the judge's dictum in his opinion is much involved but if you want to understand him you can. The Supreme court will probably say it is plain enough to be enforced and there isn't a particle of doubt that it could be enforced before any judge in the state who would waut to have it enforced. Still there is no excuse for suoh bungling legislation. The penalty section clause in the fourth section could have been made to read, as Judge Taylor says, "upon conviction for the violation of any of the provisions of •'this or the foregoing sections" quite as easily as "upon conviction for the violation of this or either of the foregoing sections." Each of the foregoing sections defines more than one offense and the judge held that unless it were undertaken to prove a person to be guilty of ail the offenses in a section an Indict ment could not be properly drawn. Of oourse everyone, and the judge, knows that the penalty is intended for either of the offenses. The judge shows that he knows that to be the fact by using language such as would have been more expliolt. As I have said, I think the tsupreme court will deoide that as It understands the meaning of the law, as did the honorable court from which the appeal was taken, the law may stand. There be persons, too, who have an idea that the supreme court will want to knockout the apportionment law later on. Thus the Democratic court would establish, by the law of averages, a firstclass reputation for nonpartisanship on the bench. The Dmocratlc managers would prefer two to one to have the Nicholson law held valid and the ap portionment law declared invalid than vice versa. They know they can count on the liquor interests being with them in any event and on much more vigorous assistance with the Nicholson law menacing the business than if it had been knocked out ten months before the election and bad become a chestnut as a campaign issue. If the law should be In force In November next year the objecting saloonkeeper would convert himself into a Democratic election worker, and be would contribute freely of his money toward the election of

Democrats to the legislator®. By the way, there Is nothing encouraging tn the outlook for Republicans in th# issue, because the party managers will not take a stand on either side. Assuming that the supreme oourt will hold the law good, the decision by Judge Taylor will eerve the liquor lotewel but

a-

purpose of setting a precedent for other judges In the state where there may be a desire to enforce the law. The de cision will tend to discourage effort* to that direction, and so the law may be treated as a dead letter, as it would have been here anyway

It is beginning to be suspected that Andrew J. Crawford i« waiting for a real dark night to build his street railway. He wants it to be a oomplete surprise to the people some fine morning.

A Chicago man who lives In a hotel and has an office in one of the big offloe buildings was in Mr, J. Smith Talley's offloe a few days ago. He sat looking out of the back windows which open upon one of the prettiest little yards I the city, where there Is some shade, perfect lawn and flower bushes. The Chioagoan was enjoying it and thinking of his own stone and briok surround logs. Finally he turned away from the view and with a sigh remarked, "It nice to have your offloe out on a farm.

It was unfortunate for Judge Taylor that Crawford Fairbanks should have been quoted in Indianapolis as saying the Vigo oourt would deoide the Nlohol son law all right for the saloon interest The fact that Lamb A Beasley are Fairbanks' attorneys and appeared before Judge Taylor makes the coincidence all the more embarrassing. I said Lamb A Beasley appeared. That is a mistake. Beasley appeared. As a matter of faot it was remarked that Lamb was not around the oourt room, which was quite as odd as anything connected with the ca*e.

Cbunty Assessor Hoff says the Indianapolis newspaper's report of the scene before the state tax board wa9 much exaggerated. There was no attempt to fight by anyone. It issaid thatthe most hostile demonstration wan on the train coining home. Speaking of th« county tax board's work the fact seems to have escaped attention that the county board did not go over the list of corporations us was done iu all other counties in the etate with the result of an increased assesscneut. Under the law the county board takes the initiative in assessing corporations and it therefore r^qu'res some little time to consider them but here the matter was l«ft until the last minute when it was decided to leave all of the corporations st ind listed as they were a year ago. None of the corporation objected to this, it may be re. marked. It also m»y be said th*t in very few localities would such action escape comment. The chances are that political oapital would be made out of it by the minority party on the board.

Mr. Long, who was prevailed upon to bring bis base ball team to Terre Haute, does not seem to be caring whether he wins games or not, but goes right along taking in his share of gate receipts in the larger cities in the league, where the attendance runs up into the thousands. He has a good thing, and is going around the country with it. It needs no push» ing. If he should sell a good player, like Hartman for instance, his season's profits are all the larger. Mr. Long brought to Terre Haute the lowest salaried ball club in the league, and be has not improved it. On the contrary, it has become weaker. It is not surprising that Toledo had that tired feeling. The most aggravating phase of the situation is that Terre Haute is now being decried as a ball town. Manager Watkins, of the Indianapolis team, says so.&It isn't fair to judge of us when we haven't a ball team worth the salary limit. It is to bo hoped that Mr. Long will make sufficient money on the trip away from home to make him content to forego collecting the $200 a month guarantee from Terre Haute.

Soap Babbles.

1

M. Izarn has communicated to the Academy of Sciences a new method for obtaining soap bubbles lusting a much longer time than those obtained from the soap water generally used. He has recourse to a resinous soap mado by the following formula: Pulverize together 10 grams of pure rosiu and 10 parts of carbonate of potash add 100 parts of water and boil until complete solution. We obtain in this way a thick solution which maybe kept in stock to be diluted for use with from four to five times its volume of water. It can be kept indefinitely even when exposed to the air. The bubbles produced are very persistent and consequently can be made useful iu the study of phenomena relating to thin laminse and in making photographs in which soap bubbles play a part.

The Director's Fee.

Nearly all the great financial oonoems here pay the directors who attend board meetings $10 for each sitting, not counting lunch and cigars. Some men in this way pick up all the way from $5,000 to $10,000 a year, they being of the directory of several institutions or corporations. A bank president whom services ate in demand as a director is authority tot the statement that the fee is paid in gold and is given to the director the moment he enters the boardroom. And directors don't always direct at thatNew York Letter.

Whittier begged to borrow the book, which was almost the fljrat poetry he had ever read. It was this volume of Bums which set Whittier to making verses himself, serving both as the inspiration and the model of his earlier poetic efforts. The Soottish poet, with his homely pictures of a life as bare and aa hardy as that of New England then, first revealed to the American poet what poetry really was and how it might be made out of the actual facts of his own life.

That book of Burns' poems had an even stronger influence on Whittier than the odd volume of The Spectator which fell into the hands of Franklin had on the American author whose boyhood is most like Whittier's. Franklin also was born in a humble and hardworking family, doing early his share of the labor and having but a meager education, although always longing f|r learning. It is true that Irving and Cooper and Bryant did not graduate from college, but they could have done so had they persevered, and Emerson and Longfellow and Hawthorne did get as much of the higher education as was then possible in America. But neither Franklin nor Whittier ever had the chance it was as much aa they could do to pick up the merest elements of an education.—Professor Brander Matthew^ in St. Nicholas.

Tides In the Atmosphere.

Distinct tides in the atmosphere, corresponding to those of the sea and produced twice daily by lunar attraction, have been traced by M. Bouquet de la Grye in the barometric records of stations removed from powerful local disturbances. The recorded observations of Brest, St. Helena, Cape Horn, Batavia and Singapore give positive evidence of a regular ebb and flow according to the moon's position. The effect is slight, but measurable, the greatest atmospheric tide at Brest being shown by a movement of one-quarter of an inch in a water barometer, which is equivalent to about one-fiftieth of an inch in the mercury barometer. 'The tide seems to bear about the same ratio to the weight of the atmosphere that the sea tide bears to the depth of the ocean.

|fjg| Three Books. A leading literary light in one of the best known woman's colleges says that there are just three books that everybody should know by heart—"The Arabian Nights," "Alice In Wonderland" and "Mother Goose." "A thorough knowledge of those masterpieces," she says, "will do more toward cultivating the imagination than any other process that I know of. And 1 regard imagination as the most important of all mental faculties. This is in direct and significant opposition to the ideas held by many parents and teachers that fairy tales ace injurious reading far the young.—New York Sun. ^.v,,„

WHITtliH'a BOYHOOD.

«h« Quaker Poet Had hot Scant lustra* lion in Bis Youth. In his boyhood WWttiar had scant in* struction, for ihe district school was open only a few weeks in winter. He had but few books there were scarcely 80 in the house. The one book he read and read again until he had it by heart almost was the Bible, and the Bible was always the book which exerted the strongest literary influence upon him. But when he was 14 a teacher came who lent him books of travel and opened anew world to him. It was this teacher who brought to the Whittiers one evening a volume of Burns and read aloud some of the poems, after explaining the Scottish dialect.

OUTNIMRODS OLD NIM.

The I'etajuma Pot Hunter Tells a .Story of a WondroaH Chase.

Frank Timins, the Petaluxna pot hunter, had the floor, and the crowd breathlessly awaited a thrilling story of the chase. "You want a story of the chase, eh?" repeated Timins. "Well, I'll tell you about the greatest bit of chasin I ever did in my life. I wuz out hnutin one day fer quail with my ole muzzle loadin shotgun, when three quail jumped up out of a bush right ahead of nae. 0"e flew to the right, one to the left and the other straight ahead, but I got 'em all three." "Killed three quail going in different directions with a muzzle loading shotgun?" repeated one of his listeners incredulously. v|| "Yep that's what I dona "Your gun must have had three bar-

"Nop only two." gjH "How did you do it?" A "Well, I killed the one that went to the right with the right barrel then, quick as a flash, I killed the one that went to the left with the other barrel then I took after the one that went straight ahead and knocked the stmffin out of it with the ramrod." "I wouldn't believe that if I told it myself," declared one of the assemblage. "Huh I That ain't nothin. I killed six quail with one barrel once, and they wuz all flyin in different directions.'' "Bun 'em all down?" "Nop never moved out o' my tracks. When they all started out o' the same bunch of grass, I held the gun away over to the right, and as it went off I swep'. it aroun to the left. The result was that I slung shot in every direction, same as you can sling water outen a pan, and a little of the shot ketched ev'ry one."— San Francisco Post.

PLAN*T

COIMSIONS,

•bonld Stan Knook Together the 11M Would Be Indescribable. Professor Ledger of London, whose series of Gresham astronomy lectures on "Knocks In Their Relation to Astronomy" has been oompleted, in his last discourse pointed out that the universe, instead of being fixed, is alive with motion, each star with its attendant planets hurrying through space, If star were to knock against star the intense heat and fierce fire generated by the enormous velocity and vast momentum of the two masses would be snch as to pass human conception.

It maybe that the sun was formed by the collision of two stars. The effect of two suoh bodies attracting each Other and meeting would be to reduce them to a violently agitated gaseous mass, which would oscillate, first inward, producing inconceivable heat, and then outward again, ultimately assuming the condition of the sun. The general result would be that the two bodies would revolve around their common center of gravity—that is to say, around each other—creating a double star. Lord Kelvin has calculated that if 29,000,000 solid globes, each of the mass of the moon, should be scattered over a spherical surface 100 times the radius of the earth's orbit, they would come together and be raised to a temperature of 100,000 degrees. They would oscillate outward and inward, reaching to a less distance each time, and ultimately settling down into a sphere.

The nebulas we see around us may, Professor Ledger suggests, have been produced by the knocking together of two great bodies rather than by the aggregation of many smaller ones. The collision of two huge suns would thus lead to rejuvenescence and the formation of new systems. Phenomena indicating that something very much in the nature of a collision had occurred are the outbursts of temporary stars such HS those observed by Tyci:o Brahe in 1572, by Kepler in 1004 and those of 1848, 1866, 1876, 1885 and 1892, the last being the new star Auriga, which declined through ten magnitudes, or became 100,000 times less bright in two months. The great increase in tlio light of a comet as it approaches tho sun may be due to a tidal disturbance in the bodies forming it, causing them to knock against each other, and thus generate heat and light.

In the same way tho twinkling of the stars may be caused by the knocks of the molecules of the atmosphere on the ether, whose undulations carry their light to us. The excessively great and the exceedingly sm:.ll are all interdependent, and the past, present and probable future of nebulous bodies all hinge on the relations they bear to the knocks of the molecules of their gases, while the knocks of immense bodies depend ultimately on the knocks of their constituent atoms.

Book Bound In Gold and Silver. The only gold and silver bound, diamond incrusted book in the world was lately enshrined in the holy Mohammedan city of Isnan-JEtuza, Pei'sia. The book is of course a copy of the Alkoran and is a gift from Abd-ur-Rahman, ameer of Afghanistan. The covers of this unique volume, the sides of which are 9% by 4 inches, are of solid gold plates one-eighth of an inch in thickness, lined with silver sheets of the same thickness.

The centerpiece, as well as the corners, is a symbolic design wrought iu diamonds, rubies and pearls. The center figure is a crescent with a star between its points, the whole design being composed of 109 small diamonds, 167 pearls and 122 rubies. The diamonds on each corner, which are almost hidden in their golden setting, and the orange colored lacquer with which they are fastened, are each worth about $5,000. The book itself is on parchment, entirely written by hand. It is valued at $125,000. There are said to have been over 100,000 visitors present in Isnan-Ruza the day the holy relic was enshrined.—St. Louis Republic.

Dress Made of Cigar Bibbona. Mme. Ida Lane Ney of Vienna has discovered a new use for cigar ribbons. For the past five years she has collected the narrow, yellow bits of silk used in tying cigars together, and to each of these she has "joined" a strip of black dress silk of equal length and width. Lately she found that the piece of goods was large enough to make a dress, and acted accordingly. There are 8,000 cigar ribbons in the dress.

A Man with_a History.

His Body Covered with Lnmpi. Co aid not eat and Thought he was going to dry up. (From the Nashville, Term., Banner.) "j

Mr. John W. Thomas, Jr., of Theta, Tenn., is a man with a most interesting history. It was in '84," said he to a reporter who had asked him for the storv of his life, "when I waa working in the silver miues of New Mexico, that my troubles began.

From simple indigestion my malady developed into a chronic inability to take any substantial food, and at times I was prostrated by spells of heart palpitation. On the 11th ot April, 1893, I suddenly collapsed, and for days I was unconscious, in fact I was not lully myself until July. On September 1st I weighed but 70 pounds whereas my normal weight is 165 pounds. All over my body there were lumps from the size of a*grape to the size of a walnut, my fingers were cramped so that 1 could not more than half straighten them. I had entirely lost control of my lower limbs and my hand trembled so that I could not drink without spilling the liquid. Nothing would remain on ray stomach, and it seemed that I must dry up before many more days had

I

made another round of the plivsician?, calling in one after the other, and by the aid of morphine and other medicines they gave me, I managed to live though barely through the fall."

Here Mr. Thomas displayed his arms, and just above the elbow of each there was a large irregular stain as large as the palm of the hand and of a purple color, the space covered by the mark was sunken nearly to the bone. "That," said Mr. Thomas, "is what the doctors did by putting morphine into me.

On the 11th of December, 1893, just eight months after I took permanently to bed—I shall never forget the date—my cousin, Joe Foster, of Carters' Creek, called on me and gave me a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, saying they had oured him of partial paralysis, with which I knew he had all but died. I followed his directions and began taking the medicine, as a result I stand before you to-day the most surprised man on earth. Look at my hand, it is as steady as yours my face has a healthy look about it I have been attending to my duties for a month. Since I began, taking the pills I have gained SO pounds, and I am still gaining. All the knots have disap-

eared from my body except this little here in my palm. I have a good appetite and I am almost as strong as I ever was.

Yesterday I rode thirty-seven miles on horseback, I feel tired to^Gay but not sick. I used to have from two to four spells of heart palpitation every night, since I be^an the use of the pills I have had but four spells altogether.

I know positively that I was cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I believe firmly that it is the most wonderful remedy in existence to-day, and every fact I have presented to you is known to mjr neighbors as well as to myself, and they will certify to the truth of my remarkable cure."
