MAN ABOUT TOWN,

The Alaska boundary dispute brought about, by England's claim for more territory for British Columbia coocerns the line established under the direction of Dr. Mendenhall, formerly president of the Hose Polytechnic institute, while be was chief of the bureau of geodetic survey at Washington. His report is under* stood to place the territory in which gold has been found inside of the Alaskan line and it remains for the United States to insist upon the proprietorship of the property.

The Terre Haute plan of defeating the efforts of citizens to enforce the Nicholson law has been adopted in a number of places in the state. It works well in cities and small towns, but in the country districts it has no efleot. It is to intimidate merchants who are usually outspoken and pronounced temperance and law and order men. In Greencastle, for instance, when the movement first started a few days ago to secure signa tures to remonstrances against saloon licenses, it was confidently expeoted the required majority would be easily se cured. In "counting noses" enough temperance men were found in the respective wards, and about all of them had expressed a willingness to sign the remonstrances. Then the screws were put on, threats made, and the number oJ signers fell far short of a majority.

From what I learned of the inside facts about Gougb, who has occupied considerable space in the dally papers as attempting to kill his wife, he was something of a victim of the enemies of the A P. A. at the time, some months ago, when be was reported to have at tempted to commit suicide. He was said to be an organizer of the secret order, and tho opponents of that organization sought to throw disgrace on it by making it appear that Gough was the head man and a representative of the order, and that he was a particularly despicable fellow. Whatever may have been the facts as to bis domestic trouble, the truth is that those persons who were soon at his side, and who were not wrought up over the fact that he was an A. A said that there was no indication that he bad attempted to commit suicide. The cfflcers of the law, who were soon there, and others who mys terlously seemed to be near by as soon as the alleged attempt at suicide was made, first devoted themselves to searching his personal effects. If be was thought to be dying they gave no heed to his condition. They were after possi ble secrets of the A. P. A., and some of his letters were taken despite his protest. He wtu not a prisoner, and would have been justified In defending his property, had he been able, by the use of a weapon. Some gentlemen who were there soon afterward bore out Gcugh's statement that he had not attempted suicide, but that be had been drugged. From that time to the present no occasion has been overlooked to ••roast" him. First it is reported that he bad committed suicide in some other olty and then that he had met with his deserts at the hands of the law. This week be was arrested on a charge that he had sought a meeting with his wife and that she is afraid he will kill her. While I do not believe in such secret orders as the A. P. A., and for that matter in the secresy of the priest's confessional, yet I do know that in a oertain degree an injnstice was done Gongh In the first instanoe, and that the surrounding clroumstanoes looked very much as If a conspiracy had been formed to get possession of his private papers. I don't know anything about him as a man, but members of the A. P. A. who are men of standing in the community have told me that the persistent effort to make It appear that he was the ohief spirit of the organization was a plain case of misrepresentation. No doubt he was an A. P. A. jast as he was a Moose and a Red Man, but he was not prominent in the order. _____

Major Crawford has a blizzard story. He was coming out of the theater In St. Louis that night, and found the street oars blockaded in directions and men trying to start them by putting their shoulders to the end of a car. As he stood watching the proceeding a woman wrapped in furs came alongside of himself and a gentleman with him, and, as

if utterly oblivious of their presenoe, looked at the men trying to push the cars, As if amused at the speotaole she remarked to herself: "Good thing, push it along 1" and passed on in the storm.

Judge Baker, of the United States court at Indianapolis, has been "talked of" as a Republican candidate for the senate. He days he is not a oandidate. The probability is that some lawyers who would curry favor with the judge are doing the talking. When Gresham was judge his booms were started in the same manner. ______

Miss Maud Hosford, formerly of this city, who is in the Mrs. Potter-Kyrle Bellew company had a funny experience the other night in Chicago. The play was "The Queen's Lace Handkerchief." The Chroniole says that apart of the scenery distinguished Itself by falling fiat on the stage, very nearly annihilating before her time the Countess De La Motte, Miss Hosford. The curtain had to be lowered while the wall of the palace chamber was put up again. Miss Hosford, who played the counters with no little dramatic power and discretion, showed remarkable courage when this earthquake occurred, sitting quite still, although urged by the audience to jump, and finishing the scene with perfect calmness when the curtain was raised.

The bar oommittee expects to get through with its investigation next week. The members will not talk about what it has learned or the oharac ter of the report it will make. One member said it would not be a whitewashing report nor would it reoommend action in any case. Its duty, he said, will be to submit the result of its investigation. A lawyer who has observed the proceedings says that though no action be taken the appointment of the committee will have served a good purpose.

Senator Voorhees has returned to Washington after a remarkable experience—for him. From the time he came home last spring until his return to Washington he avoided discussion, for the public, of all political questions. When he left Washington it was his purpose to enter the Kentucky campaign and make free silver speeches but on second thought he remained away from the state. Nor would ho be interviewed on the silver or auy other question. Never before wa9 the senator as discreet for so long a time.

Una Outgrown tlie T&tttag Period. The new woman is better educated than the old and along more practical lines. Instead of doii:g endless tatting and crochet work she has turned her attention to hygienic cookery, healthful dress, outdoor sports, remunerative employments and affairs of church and state. She is braver than the woman of old, for she will give the helping hand to a repentant fallen sister and repulse an unrepentant fallen man. She prefers to bo a self supporting entity rather than a clinging nonentity. She accepts marriage not as a means of support, as occasionally did her predecessor, but in order to complete the happiness and development of herself and the one she loves best When she manages a bank, or preaches the gospel, or writes books, or practices medicine or law, she is by just so much better prepared than an untrained woman to assume tho duties of wife and mother.—-Catharine Waugh McGulloch.

Physical Woman.

According to one writer, men will have to "watch out" if thpy do not mean to grow physically inferior to women. He says: "It is probabie that bo year ever witnessed such a general tendency on the part of women to avail themselves of every opportunity for outdoor exercise. She has played golf, orioket and lawn tennis more than ever before, and certainly such an army of whoelwoiuen as scoured the country highways and byways last summer was never seen before in this country. The result is that the coming generation of women bids fair to show points of physical development that will surpass the sex that has always enjoyed a monopoly of brawn."

ChicKffo'n Unique Society.

In Chicago there is a sew olub called "The Society For the Discouragement of Divorce." The sisterhood includes serious minded women who are grieved that while the sex has advanced in many respects the managing of husbands is often a lost art. Members are allowed to cite oases of conjugal differences which have come to their notice, and the case presented, with assumed names, is argued pro and con.—Chicago Letter.

Treatment of Song Bird by the Scrapple Eaters.

Philadelphia is the only city in the world where the reedbird can be found in a state of overrunning obesity, and the only plaoe where it can be cooked to perfection. In New York the French oooks conceal its delicate toothsomeness in rich dressing. There they know as little about reedbirds as they do about terrapin, scrapple and pepper pot There was given in this city one dinner in which reedbirds were served in 18 different forms. Among the courses were soup made from reedbirds, reedbirds stuffed with Blue Point oysters, reedbirds placed inside a hollowed potato and roasted, reedbirds stuffed with herb filling and baked, reedbirds stewed with fresh mushrooms, reedbirds split and broiled—an abominable practice, by the way reedbirds saute, and a seeming pie, from which, when the orust was lifted, two dozen reedbirds flew forth and around the room.

But, after all, there is only one way to cook and eat the succulent readies— saute! Select birds which have little clumps of yellow fat on both sides of the part last over the fenoe. Place them in a sauoepan—or, better still, a chafing dish—with plenty of the best butter, salt, blaok pepper, and a plentiful sprinkling of paprika—the sweet Hungarian pepper which nowadays can be found in any first olass grocery. They must not be split and their beads must not be removed. 'Cook them for five or six minutes, according to the size of the bird and the heat of the fire, but do not allow the yellow fat to become browned. Nothing could be simpler, and yet few, very few, cooks can prepare the reedbird without destroying its toothsomeness.

There is an art also in the eating of his daintiness, but it can only be applied to birds of the character and prepared in the manner described above. Wring off the head and sink your teeth into and absorb the brains. Then hold the little darling aloft by the protruding bones of both legs, and slipping him into a watering mouth orunch your way through his caroass until not a bit of him remains but the leg bones. Then cast your eyes above and say grace. Thai's eating reedbirds, that is.—Philadelphia Times.-

A Woman's Wit.

The women of California are always doing something out of the ordinary. One day recently Mrs. Catherine Momm, janitress of a publio school in the ra^ urbs of San Francisco, went to tue (iity to cash the pay orders of the tcacl-Rvs with whom she was employed,- Jj'hq money, $759. was placed inside of her corset Then she made up a bar.'.iio, which she carried in her bands. She lias long been fearful of an attack by robbers. When at a lonely spot, about two hundred yards from the schoolhouse, she was suddenly seized by two men, who had been lurking about the vicinity. She tnade a show of resistance. One of the men seized the bundle and both then jumped into a buggy whioh a confederate drove up with, and all three made their escape, while Mrs. Momru fled to the schoolhouse. The worthless contents of the dummy bundle were afterward found by the roadside, where the disgusted robbers had thrown them.

Miss Harvey's Exhibit.

Harvey, author of "The National Flower, or Valley Forge Arbutus," the original"natioual flower poem," has a unique exhibit in the Pennsylvania department of the Woman's building at the Atlanta exposition.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Contain Mercury,

As mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces. Such articles should never be usedexoept on prescriptions from reputable phyalcian^, hs the damage they will do ia ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheoey A Co., Toledo, O., contains no mercury, and is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.
