SATURDAY, DECEMBERS 1896.

MEMORANDUM for the historian in recording the events for the week ending December 5, 189&—Mr. Bryan made no speeches this week.

HENRY WATTKHSO.N is back from Europe and the "star eyed goddess of reform" will have a chance to find out what is the matter with the Democracy of Kentucky.

THE funny men who make a specialty of writing jokes about boarding houses, can now take a new lease on life. A Seymour jury this week rendered a verdict against a man who had slandered his boarding house.

THE next house of representatives, elected in November, will consist of 304 Republicans, 124 Democrats, 13 Fusionists, and 3 Silver!tes. This gives the Republicans a clear majority of 74 over the combined opposition.

SENATOR

"HIM,"

CIIANDI.KR has been

talking for publication again, in which he says that the recent election was a triumph for protection and not a victory against bimetalism. If the senator wants to be talked about, a better way would be to have his diamonds stolen.

The author of "Ben Hur" announced this week that he was not a candidate for United States senator, that is, unless the legislature was willing to give it to him without an effort on his part, which is equivalent to saying that he is not a candidate. Such important positions are not given out in these times to those who expect them on silver salvers.

SOME Evansviile men, anxious for questionable notoriety, have given it out that they are negotiating for the Corbett-Fitz-simmons prize flght to take place in that city. Their negotiations will give them the advertising they crave, but not the flght. The Indiana law prevents an exhibition of that kind, and Governor Matthews has enforced it. It is not likely that Gov-er-elect Mount will be any less decisive about prohibiting such an exhibition.

SHARKEY, who came near defeating James J. Corbett. In a glove contest in San Francisco last spring, was given the fight between himself and Robert Fitzsinuuons in the same city Wednesday night, on a foul. This puts Sharkey in line to be a pugilistic champion, a question that can never 1H» settled until Corbett, Fiszsimmons and Sharkey are looked up together in a mom to flght it out, the championship to be given the man who lives the longest. This would be a most, satisfactory way of settling the question.

A

MOST

effective answer to the state-

ments frequently made, and more frequent ly than ever during the recent campaign, that, the courts were run solely in the interests of the rich, was that by the Supreme court this week as a result of which a stock broker will be compelled to serve a sentence in the Washington jail for refusing to answer quest ions propounded him by a senate committee. The broker, Chapman by name, was asked some questions by the committee investigating the scandals growiug out of the passage of the tariff bill of ISM, and he refused to answer them. The district court found him guilty of contempt, and It is this sentence that the Supreme court has upheld. The point to the declsiou is that Havemayer, the sugar trust king, and others of equal prominence, will also be compelled *to submit themselves to trial in the district court on indictments similar to tha* on which Chapman has been convicted. It is to be hoped that they will all be punished as they deserve If we were to believe, however, *11 that Tillman and his Ilk have said about the Supreme court, these millionaire sugar kings would not have been punished at all.

TUKRK is much conjecture as to what President Cleveland will say In his message to congress when it convenes on Monday. The last message he sent to congress before the end of his first term, tn December. 1887. was a notable one, and started the crusade in favor of free trade that finally resulted in his election In IS®. He was the ftret instigator of the phrases that were much used in succeeding campaigns about the "rich robbing the poor," that caused much of the wild talk by his successor as a Democratic candidate in the last campaign. He did not support such theories when they were osed in favor of another candidate, but he in* dnlged in them freely when they promoted his own success. About the only new thing be can refer to in his forthcoming message is in regard to the Cuban situation, and fo» that reason there is won derful interest to know what he will say about the cau*e of free Cuba. It is said to be a matter of fact that the administration believes there iskwsraasoo for recognising the belligerent rights erf the Cubans now |K»«» there was a year ago, and that. as matters now stand, the worst thing that oould happen the island would be the sw Otis of Generol Macao. The agents of the government have impressed on the president the view that the revolution has taken .the form of a race war, which would le-

come a struggle between the white and black survivors in the event of the success of the present movement, a struggle which could have but one ending—the extinguishment of one side or the other. Both the president and Secretary Olney oppose the annexation, purchase or conquest of Cuba, and, feeling, as they do, that the revolution is along lines which, if successful, would overwhelm the people of the island with dreadful consequences, they naturally lean toward Spain. At the same time neither the president nor his premier can be blind to the atrocities committed by the Spanish butchers, or deaf to the strong American sentiment in favor of the adoption of measures that will restore peace to the blood-drenched land and make it possible to rehabilitate its commerce. It is understood that the president will take the safest and most conservative coarse of briefly reciting known facts with regard to the loss of life, property and trade due to the continuance of the war, deplore the atrocities being committed and express the hope that peace be soon restored. Such treatment of a very delicate situation will, it is believed in administration quarters, be a satisfactory solution of the bothersome issue. There does not seem to be any question but that the majority of the American people are in favor of some action on the part of the government that will dead to an end to the struggle in progress in Cuba, providing it can be done without involving the United States in a war with Spain. But what diplomacy may do in this direction is Greek to tlie average citizen, and he can only trust to the judgment of the administration. One thing can certainly be said for the president. He will do what he thinks is the right thing, no matter if every other man, woman and child in the whole United States refused to agree with him.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O. Sold by Druggists, 75c. Six Cents a Week. The election of Mr. McKinley was the occasion of the most rapid and wide-spread business revival ever known in this country. There is a certainty that good times will prevail and that people will earn money and have money to spend. The Independent, of New York, was foremost in upholding the principles for which Mr. McKinley stands, and rejoices in the better outlook for every man, woman and child in the country.

For forty-nine years The Independent has held the first position among the great religious, literary and family weeklies of this country, and it proposes to All that position in the future. It has adopted several new, interesting and important features, two of which are: "The Survey of the World," which gives in a concise form all of the important events that have happened in the world during the week, and "Work Indoor and Out," which tells men, women, boys and girls how to earn money in a variety of ways. In general the paper is particularly fitted for professional men, business men, merchants, farmers and families. It costs but six cents a week— $3.00 a year—or at that rate for any part cf a year. A specimen copy will be sent to any person free by addressing The Independent, New York City.

Good Coal Cheap.

You can get more heat for the money out of a ton of coal from the Broadhurst mines across the river than from a ton of any other coal sold in the market. It is cheaper, too, than any other coal in the market, the price being but $1.65 per ton delivered. The over-the-river coal has always had a good reputation in this market, and the coal from the mines of J. N. & Geo. Broadhurst stands at the head. If you have never used any of the Broadhurst coal give it a trial and be convinced that it is in every way equal to representations. Orders can be sent by mail, or left at the city office, 110 south Third street, St. Charles Hotel, and they will receive prompt attention. Patronise a Vigo county industry, and try the Broadhurst coal.

The season will soon be at hand when slippery sidewalks will make walking dangerous, wad now is a good time to take out an accident policy. There is no better place to get one than at J. A.

He has also some interesting bargains in real estate, no matter whether yon are looking for a home, or an investment in real estate.

William Morris and Music.

Some idiot, says a writer in The Saturday Review, takes it on himself to assure the world that William Morris had no musical sense. As a matter of fact he had a perfect ear, a most musi singing voice, and so fine a sen beauty in sound (as in everything that be could not endure the cla the pianoforte or the sqnallin shouting of the average singer. told him that the Amsterdam brought over here by M. de Lt discovered the secret of the mediaeval music and sang in wit passing excellence, he was full of for having missed it, and the viol concerts of M. Dolmetsch pleased him greatly. Indeed, once dnring his ilness, when M. Dolmetsch played him some really beautiful music on a really beautiful instrument, he was quite overcome by it

I once urged him to revive the manufacture of musical instruments and rescue us from the vulgar handsomeness of the trade articles with whioh our orchestras are equipped, and he was by no means averse to the idea, having always, he avowed, thought he should like to make a good fiddle. Only neither in music nor in auything else could yOd engage him in any sort of intellectual dilettantism. He would not waste his time and energy on the curiosities and fashions of art, but went straight to ffa highest point in the direct and simple production of beauty. .f-'i

The CMld of a Tillage.

All the scenes and atmosphere of one's native village—if one is fortunate enough to have been born in such a locality—lie abound the memory like the horizon line, unreachable, impassable. Even a socalled cosmopolitan man has never seemed to me a very happy being, and a cosmopolitan child is above all things to be pitied. To be identified in early memories with some limited and therefore characteristic region—that ia happiness. No child is old enough to be a citizen of the world. What denationalized Americans hasten to stamp as provincial is, for children at least, a saving grace. You do not call a nest provincial. All this is particularly true of those marked out by temperament for a literary carcer. Literature needs for its material orly men, nature and books, and of these the first two are everywhere and the last are easily transportable, siucoyou cau pile the few supreme authors of the world in a little corner of the smallest log cabin. The Cambridge of my boyhood afforded me all that human heart oould ask for its elementary training. Those who doubt ic might perchance have been the gainers if they had shared it. "Ho despises me,'' said Ben Jonson, "because I live in an alley. Tell him his soul lives in an alley."—Colonel T. W. Higginson iu Atlantio.

Madame's QtUet Answer.

It would not do to specify therestanrant. It is enough to say that it happened in French restaurant well patronized by those whose French consists of "garcon," "ouiV and ''demi-tasse."

Tho place was well filled, and madame' at the reoeipt of custom was busy—making change, smiling to the customers, frowning deep French frowns at the waiters and shrugging her shoulders and eyebrov. 3 at M. le Mari.

In a little lull a mail, evidently an habitue of tho place, walked up to madame. Iu one hand ho held a plate, in the other a napkin. "Look here, madame," he began. He held them up for inspection. The plate was shining, but the napkin, where he had used it to wipo the plate, was grimy, almost blaok.

Madame looked at him carelessly. "If monsieur would wash his hands before he came here," she said softly, with a shrug of her shoulders, "then pair-haps"—

But tho man had gone back to nis seat, and madame made change for some one else.—Philadelphia Ledger.

Guileless ILoie Fuller.

Loie Fulier has never worn a ooraet in all her life. Her figure is round, beautiful, firm. Her gowns are fashioned in tho empire style, her hats are immense and beglnmed, and her manners are gracious and altogether delightful. Her modesty is possibly her greatest charm. Sho told the writer recently: "I see posters about the street, and I think Loie Fuller must be some one else. I can't get used to tho fame part of my oareer. In Paris, where I became known, I was driven to the theater and home again without knowing how I was being talked about. One day I required some pocket handkerchiefs, und my mother and I walked into a short). 'See, mamma,' I cried, 'there are £»oie Fuller handkerchiefs, and there are silks nutted after that person too. I wonder who can have my name.' It turned .jjtit that I was the namesake of all manner of wearable articles of femininity."— New Orleans Times-Democrat. _______________

DRAWING BROWNIES.

Picture Which Won First Prii# In the Chicago inter Ocean Contest.

he Chicago Inter Ocean recently prises for pictures of brownies wn by children of 15 years or nnder. young artists had to furnish their ideas, and they were allowed full

Palmer Cox, the originator of the nie pictures, was judge of the conOver 1,000 sketches were submitmany of them being of exceptional merit First prize was awarded to Daisy Derby, a Chicago miss of 15 years. Her winning picture is herewith reproduced.

Mr. Cox said: "The task of aoting as judge in The Inter Ocean's contest has been to me a very pleasant one. I have often been amused as the familiar face of one of my cretSions peeped at me

from an envelope, bearing startling proof in every feature that the young artist had studied the character closely. Many sketches, of course, were copies of my own works, and it was remarkable to find how many boys and girls had chosen the same scene or grouping out of the largo variety I have made in the last 14 ye rs. There was a peculiar pleasuro to me in this because at the time I drew these identical pictures I felt that they were likely to make an impression. "Some ambitions young artists allowed their fancies to carry them beyond brownie limits and did not confine themselves to the old Scotoh tradition, wherein brownies are good natured little goblins 'who work and sport while weary households sleep and never allow themselves oo be seen by mortal eye.'

Got Around Grannie.

The little daughters of a member of the Duke of Connauglit's staff were recently incited to lunch with the daughters of the latter at Government House, Aldershot. After the meal the children adjourned to the grounds. "Do you know my grandmother?" asked Princess Margaret of one of her guests. "No," was the reply. "I am going to stay with her at Windsor tomorrow," continued the princess, "and she is going to have a company from London and some theatricals. I mean to get round grannie to let me sit up and see them. I always have to go to bed."

Evidently Princess Margaret did "get round grannie," for the day after the theatrical performance which she was so anxious to witness her name was among those of the spectators. During the absencoof their parents in India she and her sister were so much with tho queen that they probably know as well as any of tho royal grandchildren how to coax their august grandmother into giving them a wished for treat.—-Pear-son's Weekly.

Buy Fruit Instead of Candy.

"I wish," said a doctor the other day as he watched a group of school children troop out of a candy store, whore they had been spending their pennies, "that I could form a society among little folks in whioh each member would take a pledgo to spend all bis pocket money for fruit instead of candy." It seemed a funny way of putting it, didu't it? But the physician was very much in earnest, and at the moment it probably occurred to him that, as children like clubs, an anticandy club would be a very good one for them. He wanted to do two things—to stop their eating the unhealtbful sweet and to coax them to eat more fruit. An apple or a banana or an orange can usually, one or the other of them, be bought for the price of a little candy, and the fruit is much better in every way than the sweet.—New York Times. _____

Whence the Wind?

How many of our boys and girls know bow to find the direction of the wind? Of course, if it is blowing a gale, any one ooald tell. But suppose Oyly a gentle breeze is stirring—hardly enough to make the fickle weathercock decide which way to point—then what would you do? in such a case an old woodsman or hunter will thrust one finger into his month, wetting it well, and then hold it np in the air. The side which feels coldest shows which direction the wind oomes from. The reason of this is plain. The more rapid movement of the air frmn one direction oauses the moisture on that side of the finger to evaporate with greater rapidity, thus giving the of coolness. Try it and see.
