.SATURDAY. OCTOBER 21. 1«W.

Johx G. Cakmslk is paying the penalty, in Kentucky, allotted a man who goes back on his party. He was rotten-egged in his own home the other night for making a speech against free silver.

As the Chicago Record very well says, in two weeks we shall have time to think of something besides Wall street and Lom bard street and calamity howlers and cor rupt syndicates and boy orators and persons owned by trusts and slave-drivers and barn rats and party wreckers and decoy ducks—and those other things which go to make an election in these United States thing glorious.

innovation in church services

throughout the country will be inaugurated to-morrow, which is to be known as "Prison Sunday." The day is so called because ministers in the pulpits preach a sermon relating to prisons, crime and allied subjects. In this way the people are brought to think about prisons and crimi nals and to have some opinions as to the proper treatment of that class of our population.

body of ministers met in New

York in 1881 and decided to recommend the scheme to the churches of the United States. The custom has been observed by several states but has not been followed in Indiana. The Board of State Charities has concluded to try to start the custom in Indiana, and to that end all the ministers of the state have been invited to give a sermon on a prison subject, on the fourth Sunday in October, to-morrow.

The recently published rumor that President Cleveland intended to Recognize the Cuban insurgents is denied at Washington, from which point the rumor emanated. It is said that no such policy is contemplated,by the president, and if anything of that kind is doue it will be by Mr. Cleveland's successor. As is well known, the sympthles of the administration as individuals, in a large measure, are with the insurgents, but if they gain their iiulepend ence, it will be without intervention, other than amicable, on the part of Mr. Cleveland. From the inception of the present difficulties in Cuba, the administration has used nil reasonable diligence in preventing the fitting out in this country of hostile expeditions against the Spanish authority in Cuba, and this vigilance will be continued to the end. The government has taken this course for the purpose of showing the world that international law Is held sacred in the United States, and also for the purpose of making it impossible for Spain to successfully prosecute any claims against the United States for damages growing out of filibustering expeditions.

Tiik commercial travelers who are interesting themselves in an effort to secure geueral legislation in favor of two cent a mile railroad fares will find something vital concerning the subject in a recent decision of the New York Supreme court. A statute enacted in 181)5 imposes a penalty of $50 upon railroad companies for reftwing to issue a mileage book to any person applying therefor, at a rate not exceeding two cents per mile. In a suit against the Erie Railway company to recover the penalty under this statute, the constitutionality of the enactment was attacked, particularly on the ground that it applied to railroads running from one State into another, and thus interfered with the power of Congress to regulate inter-State commerce. The court, however, holds that it should not be so construed, but should be deemed only to require the acceptance of the mileage ticket for transportation between points in the State of New York. He also declares that the requirement thatthe corporation shall issue a mileage Aook is not so unreasonable as to amount to an un lawful interference with the rights of the company to transact business tinder its charter.

Thk recent rise in the cash value of wheat and corn has increased the wealth of the farmers of the country 1134,391,015 within the last sixty days. Of this amount the advance in the price of wheat in the markets of the world has contributed no less than ($0,636,851, and the rise in corn has enriched the United States #43,754,664. These encouraging figures are likely to be greatly increased before the entire crop of wheat and corn produced on the broad Acres of the middle ami western states can be marketed. They mean increased com fort and greater prosperity, better clothing and more luxury to farmers, and they af fowl the surest indication of the better iini« that are coming.

During the last six weeks the rash v»lu« of wheat lias Increase! tfcie per busht! i» round figure*. The reason for this v\ ?vnuce, as is well known, is the eomptmtively short crops raised by Asia and 3o.ith

America. The supply being limited in the markets of the world, the dem*uv1 for the wheat of the United States has in -r«vv*M. and there is no (citing when the consequent rise in price will stop. The Australian crop and a part of that of Argentina is vet to reach the market, but both are small, and the United States is now shipping wheat by the ship load to feed th hnngrjr of British India, and also to Australia. "Dollar wheat" Is now the cry for the first

time in years. The United States produced 411,963,416 bushels of wheat this year, according to the latest and best estimates obtainable at the department of agriculture. More than half of this amount is believed to be still in the hands of the farmers themselves. A great deal of it, in fact, has yet to be threshed. On October 10 only 72,145,000 bushels of the total crop had reached the primary markets. But even that had already felt the impulse of the upward tendency, and the farmers had benefited, by the increased price. They will realize on the balance of the crop not yet marketed practically the full benefit of the advance and will be enriched thereby. Their profit already rans high up into the millions. How the farmers in the great wheat producing states of the country will benefit by the increased cash value of their crops is shown in the appended table, which shows the profit made by the advance in the price of wheat in the last six weeks:

is quite evident that Mr. Bryan, in his journeys through the several states, is awakening to a realization of the fact that all of those who gather to bear him speak are not going to vote for him. He acts like a man who had become desperate, and especially has this been true in his speeches in Indiana this week. In Richmond, the county seat of the strongest Republican county in the state, he said that a man who wore a Republican sound money badge should also wear a card on his breast bearing the inscription, "We are American citizens, but we think this nation is not big enough to attend to its own business." He also declared that no man ought to vote the Republican ticket unless he was willing to go back on the Declaration of Independence. At Lafayette he attacked General Harrison, and at Crawfordsville, the home of Gen. Lew Wallace, be made slighting remarks concerning that distinguished gentleman. After Mr. Bryan has become seasoned in politics he will learn one thing that all who aspire to office should be familiar with, and that is, that a candidate makes no votes for himself by abusing those who do not happen to agree with him. This seems to be the most important lesson he has to learn.

For Weak Men Wltli Nervous Debility tills is Certainly the Chance of a Lifetime.

Weak men suffering from nervous debility, weakened powers and exhausted vigor, can now take new hope. Here is something which will powerfully interest them. It is a fact that until now stifferers have been debarred from seeking a cure by the great specialists in these complaints owing to the cost of travel to the large city and the high fees charged by these eminent physicians.

Here, therefore, is a chance for weak men our community which should not be lo9t. Dr. Greene, of 35 west Fourteenth street, New York City, who has the largest practice in the world, and who is without doubt the most successful specialist in curing this class of disease offers to give free consultation by mail to all weakened, igorless and nerve-exhausted men. You have the privilege of consulting Dr. Greene by letter describing your complaint and he will, after carefully considering your condition, send you a letter fully explaining all your symptoms, telling you everything about your complaint so plainly that you will understand exactly what ails you. He will also give you his advice, based upon his vast experience and "wonderful success in treating and curing such (cases, as to just what to do to get cured. All this will cost you nothing and you can thus have consultation with the bestknown physician and acknowledged most successful specialist in the world, without leaving home and at no expense whatever. The doctor is the discoverer of that! greatest of medicines, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and he has discovered many other most valuable remedies. Write to him now, for this is the chance of a lifetime to get cured which you may never have again.

The Fact That Doctors

frequently advise change of air and climate to those suffering from catarrh is proof that catarrh is a local and climatic disease. Therefore, nnless you can leave home and business, you should use Ely's Cream Balm. Applied directly to the seat of the disease it effects instant relief and a satisfactory cure after short continuance. No mercury nor injurious drug is contained in the Balm.

Wanton Sailors.

A Scandinavian correspondent write* to (be Berliu Tageblatt that in Denmark, Norway and Finland the employment of women as sailors is a matter of daily experience. In the smaller sailing ship*, where there is a woman on board, whether ahe be the stewardess or the Wife of the skipper, she is expected tc take her turn at the ordinary work of the sailors, not even excluding the duties of the n.an at the wheel or of tfc« night watch. In Denmark several wo men are employed at sea as state officials and prHicularly in the pilot sort ice. "They go far out to sea to meet the coaaing ships. They clam bar n* nimbly out

their boat* They shew

their official diploma and steer the newcomer safely into the harbor." It is tb* same in Fit land. Experienced cap fa say that women often make omutrni sailors and that they an equal to mc^t seaman in dexterity and endurance.

v-" 1k* Baft-Keg*. The toigr hat will be the rage this win. feer, says a New York fashion writer. The new Pari* shapes are conspicuously huge as to brim and ridiculously high as to crown. After experiments and benevolent resolutions in favor of perma nently abolishing the wide hat, vanity proves triumphant Headgear broad, lofty and aspiring has oome promptly back into popular wear. Last spring, in all good faith, an effort was made to establish a smaller hat turned up at the back and tilted over the face, bringing the nose and the hat brim in familiar proximity. To a certain type of women, with fine eyes and pretty cheeks and chins, this hat was becoming one and the compromise rather pleasing. But it did not fascinate and flatter, as did the big, wide, eccentric "picture" hat. Under the shadow of one of these glorified mushrooms, every woman sits as serenely as did Jonah beneath the gourd vine. Its plumes and drum major aigrets impart dignity, and the halo of the brim lends a charming background, therefore the Parisian milliners have provided the ample headgear that their patrons most desire. Designers of hats, it is said, desire to give us a taste of the first end of our ceptury, especially the date when Queen Victoria was young, and they propose to continue this Vnode right on through the winter. The Viotorian hat is a most picturesque affair. In black chip or Milan it is astutely wired and then bent into broad wavy lines, while the crown is heaped with tulle, fall flowers and waving plumes. Tucked under the brim, just over the ear, are soft rosettes of velvet ribbon in cerise or rose oolor, dahlia shaped knots of pink and white ^felvet, or velvet petaled wallflowers, nasturtiums or roses. This arrangement is calculated to take the place of the caohe peigne at the back and the large cluster of flowers there massed, and undeniably the effect given to most faoes is novel and becoming.

The Faff on the Sleeve.

A favorite sleeve for the plain oloth gown, which admits of little garniture, has the arm fitted quite snugly almost to the shoulder, narrowing down to absolute tightness at the wrist, where it spreads over the hand in two deep points. The only fullness of the sleeve puffs out at the shoulder, smartly, not at all in a drooping way, but aggressively stiff, as if making up for theTack of quantity. Often this style of sleeve is made up in velvet fof a oloth gown and finished at the wrist by a soft frill of yellow laoe. A far more dressy sleeve is shown in a style suitable for a handsome dinner or reception gown, where more or less elaborateness is employed Over a tight lining of silk is puckered tbin mousseline de soie in black or white from the puff which tops the shoulder to the frill finishing the wrist. The puff is made of the dress material and is made to stand out as stiffly as possible, finished oddly by a huge loop and long end of the silk stuff oaught at the top of the shoulder by a fancy button and allowed to flutter away at (he back. Twists of velvet fastened with fanoy buttons finish the bottom of the shoulder puff and the wrist.—Hew YorkJ^ommercial.

Dr. Bebeeca Hallowell.

Dr. Rebecca HalJowell, the medical missionary supported at Agtia Caliente, in southern California, by the New York city Indian association, finds her hands more than filled by ber work among the Indian women and children in the various mission villages. When Dr. Hallowell, who is a Philadelphian, assumed her present post, she was subjected to more or less persecution by the people among whom she labored, and even now many of the patients over whom she has worked faithfully send for the witch dootor if they fancy their oures do not progress rapidly enough. Dr. Hallowell's work is not oonflned to treatment of the siok, for she instructs the women in oooking, sewing, housekeeping and the duties of cleanliness and does besides what she can to help the men, both physically and spiritaally. These, however, look upon her with much distrust—Philadelphia Ledger.

Children Chaperons.

In these days, when well educated, refined women are searching new fields for oongenial employment, the idea of a "children's chaperon" as set forth in an English paper is decidedly apropos. A cultivated lady for a child's companion would surely be a vast improvement on the average nursegirl who is usually the constant attendant, and there are many rich mothers who would gladly give more thought to the companions of their little ones if they oould get the desired qualifications by paying for tbem. The "children'8 ohaperon" must accompany them on their walks and "interpret nature with speoial referenbe to botany, birds and the common objects around them and amuse them at home." Certainly the requirements are modest enough, but the atmosphere of refinement thrown about the children would be invaluable to many a society lady.

Two Sacocifal Women.

In the town of Medina, K. Y., the leading dry goods store is owned and personally conducted by two women .a partnership. The establishment was started on a small scale a number years ago, and, through the excellent basinet maus^eziuit of i:. proprietors it soon became the leading store of its kind in Mer.ina. These two women have made and are making a distinct succose, and they own, besides their stove, otie of the prettiest homes in their town. There inspiration in this for other women.

He has been a Republican worker since early manhood, and this is the first time he has- ever asked for an office. He is recognized as a man whose loyalty, integrity and frugality well fit him for the responsible position ,to which he aspires.1??,

FOR CONSTABLES.

Voters in Harrison township will be called upon to elect two constables this fall, to fill vacancies caused by the resignations of George Palmateer and Donn Glick. Two well known old soldiers have been selected for these positions, in the persons of Andrew J. Thompson, formerly city marshall, and John A. Anderson. They were gallant soldiers in their country's service, are popular with their comrades, and will have the most enthusiastic support from them, as well as from the mass of voters. They are both deserving, and are entitled to the full support of their party, which will no doubt be freely given them.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it Incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address
