A 8TRKKT railway superintendent in Reading, Pa., has issued an order requiring all employes to shave off their beards and mustaches. The people of Reading ought to issue a "general order" refusing patronage to an institution allowing such fool orders interfering with a man's personal habits as the one in question.

Thk Supreme court of the United States has sustained the Sherman anti-trust law, and it has caused great consternation among the railroads, which are the first to be affected by the decision. It has already caused the partial dissolution of several of the freight traffic associations. An attempt is now being made to have the provisions of the law applied to labor organizations connected with railroads.

MK. BRYAN is making a good thing out of his book, "The First Battle." It is announced from Lincoln that the first month's sales of the book brought him $16,0()0 royalties, and he proposes to spend one-half of this furthering the cause of what ho is pleased to term bimetallism, giving $4,600 to the Democratic national committee, $1,500 to the National Bimetallio Union, $1,500 to the Populists and $500 to the Silver Republicans. He bases this division of the $8,000 on the fact that he received 4,500,000 Democratic votes, 1,500000 Populist votes and 500,000 Republican Republican votes, recognizing at the same time the work done by the National Bimetallic Union as a non-partisan organization.

A MOST novel spectacle will be that to be furnished next week, when a train of cars, in charge of armed guards, and with car windows and doors barred like a prison, will leave JefTersonville en route to Michigan City, with the prisoners to be transferred to the latter place under the reform prison law passed by the last legislature. On the first of April the new law will take effect and the state's prison south will oease to exist, and will be known as a reformatory. The life prisoners and others of that class will be transferred to the prison north, while the milder criminals of the latter place will be transferred to Jeffersonville. The passage of this law is a long step towards prison reform, and the success of the experiment will do maoh towards leading to similar aotion in other states.

Inpiama

has fared pretty well at the

hands of previous administrations in the way of responsible offices at Washington. The Indianapolis Journal has been looking the matter up, and discovers that

Indiana was not without an assistant postmaster general from 1S50 to 1881, and part of the time she had two. General W. H. H. Terrill was third assistant from 18W to 1878 James N. Tyner waa second assistant from 1875 to 1878 and first assistant from 1876 to 1881 Thomas J. Brady was eecond assistant from 1858 to 1881. She has had one assistant secretary of the treasury, John C. New, from 1888 to 1885, and one assistant secretary of the interior. William T. Otto, from 1888 to 1871. Of Cabinet officers she has had John W. Fob ter, secretary of state from 1898 to 1888. Hugh McCulloch, secretary of the treasury from 15W5 to 18®. and again from October. 18&4, to March, 18W Walter Q. Gresham. from Oct. 84 to Oct. 88. 1884 secretary of the interior, Caleb B. Smith, from 1881 to 186$, and John P. Usher, from 1863 to 18181 secretary of the navy. Richard W. Thompson, from 1877 to 1881 postmaster general. Jamas N. Tyner, from 187* to 1877, and Walter Q- Gresham from 1888 to 1884 attorney general, W. H. H. Miller from 1886

isfifilSlMSii

to 1893." It is notable that of the cabinet positions that Indiana has held two of them, Secretaiy of the interior and Secretary of the navy, were filled by citizens of the state of Terre Haute, John P. Usher and Richard W. Thompson, respectively.

In addition to these positions of responsibility, Indiana has had since the date first named, 1861, one president Benjamin Harrison, two vice-presidents. Schuyler Colfax and Thomas A. Hendricks, and one speaker of the honse, Michael C. Kerr. Great, indeed, is the state of Indiana

One

of the chief peculiarities of reformers is a strong desire to reform everybody and everything bnt themselves. One of these sweeping reformers has just received a set-back in Michigan, where the Supreme court has decided that Governor Pingree cannot hold that office and continue to hold the office of mayor of Detroit, which he asserted his purpose of doing, even to being a candidate for re-election as Mayor while holding the other office. Having failed to hold on to both offices he has dictated the nomination of the Republican who desires to be his successor in Detroit, and we shall see whether or not Pingreeism is such a popular thing as it is represented to be. The theory of grabbing everything in sight and holding on to it, is not anew or unusual thing, but it is a remarkable thing to mark a reformer. The only peculiar thing about the Pingree case is that the Governor didn't abolish the court that decided against him.

AT last, but, of course, a minister has been found to say a good word for the prize fighter. While nearly every minister in the country last Sunday was condemning the noble art, a Chicago preacher found time to say this concerning it: "The prize fighter is a finely developed animal. He is one of the logical results of materialistic philosophy. He is superior to the soft-headed epicure whose god is his stomach. He is superior to the bloodsucking schemer of business and politics. He is far superior to the libertine, whether refined or rough. Therefore, many who throw stones at the prize fighter live in glass houses. Would to God all men would go into training for a good fight for high morality and noble manhood as the athlete and the prize fighter train for their contests. What self-denial and discipline, what temperate and well-ordered lives, what curbing of passions and appetites, what perfect self-control these prize fighters have, and all for so small a reward."

Tiik National Merchants' and Travellers' Association held a meeting in Chicago this week, at which a speech was delivered part of which at least should be cut out and "pasted in the hat" of every business man in the land. The address was on "The Business Outlook," and among other things the speaker said: "Now is the time and this is the hour to begin. We have all been waiting for the adjustment of the money question, the regulation of tariff, the settlement of foreign complications, and in the excitement our own business has been neglected. Let us not stand still until it gets around to our way, but go and meet it. If every man ceases crying •hard times,' and knuckles down to business, hard times will vanish. We have spent too much time listening to the harangues of socialists and of all-round creation menders, who have a legislative pill for every ailment—paternalism, 50-cent dollars and a hundred other quack nostrums to make every man prosperous by act of government. Let us break away from them and strike out for ourselves. As Longfellow says, 'Look not mournful into the past. It comes not back. Wisely improve the present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future without fear and with a manly heart.'"

A great many persons who profess to be civil service reformers, but are not, will enjoy reading the account of the onslaught on civil service in the senate this week. A number of prominent senators expressed themselves as being opposed to the system, and willing to vote to abolish it, and a committee was appointed to examine into the system. Several hundred thousand men who are looking for jobs under the new administration will be pleased to learn that the so-called "system" is to stand a chance of being done away with.

The small dealers of Chicago have progressed so far in their fight against the big department stores there that they have secured the promise of Governor Tanner to sign a bill legislating the stores out of existence, providing it is constitutional and properly enacted. The law applies only to cities having a population of over 50,000.

A London periodical recently offered a prize for the best collection of unintentionally amusing advertisements. Here is a part of one list. It embodies illustrations of the curious effect which the misplacing of a comma, or a word or trwo, often. has upon the meaning of a sentence: "Respectable tailor wants washing on Tuesday" "Wanted, an organist and a boy to blow the same." "A boy Wanted Vho can open oysters with a reference." "Bulldog for sale, will eat anything very fond of children." "Wanted, a boy to be partly outside and partly behind the counter." "Widow in comfortable circumstances wishes to marry two sons." "Wanted, a room for two gentlemen about 30feet long and 20 feet broad." "A lady wants to sell her piano, as she is going abroad in a strong iron frame." 'Annual sale now going on. Don't go elsewhere to be cheated—come in here."'

At tlie Afternoon Card Club.

In Terre Haute, where there are more ladies' card clubs in proportion to population than in any other city in the country, the following description of an afternoon card club in Chicago will be much appreciated: "Jane," said Maria, "it is your lead." "Why, no," answered Jane, "it is Ida's." "No," spoke up Ida, "it is not my lead Susan dealt the- cards.'' "Why, then it .DDPist be my lead," said Maria. "What's, trumps 'Hearts IV shouted three young voices in unison. "Well, there's jny »lead," said Maria, playing the deuce of clubs. "But you must lead a trump card, my dear," cried Jane. "Yes, and lead the biggest trump you have in your hand," put in Ida, Jane's partner. "Well, then, here is the queen of hearts," said Maria. "O, you mean thing, you!" exclaimed Jane "that takes my king." "But I will take the trick, for I have the ace," said Ida. "But," remarked Susan, "that's the ace of diamonds." won' "I've got the ace of hearts," purred Susan. "Does that take the trick »sy,* "Of course it does," answered Jane..

How to Make Gobollnks.

Drop a little ink on a sheet of white paper, fold the paper in the center and press the ink spots together with the fingers. One must have a little praotice in making gobolinks to attain perfection. One way is to write your name with a thick pen and plenty of ink and follow the directions as to folding and pressing. Another is to draw an animal or creature of some kind and fold the sheet in the same way. A great deal of fun can be got from a bottle of gobol ink.

How to Clean Black Dress Goods. First remove the grease spots with naphtha, and remember that this fluid is very explosive when exposed to either light or fire. Make a lather cf warm soapsuds, using a good, not strong, soap and a teaspoonful of borax to every 2 quarts of water. Into this dip the goods tip and down and wash between the hands. Then wring gently and partly dry. Hang in the shade, and, when nearly dry, iron on the wrong side with a moderately warm iron. Always rinse onoe in lukewarm water and iron until the'material is perfectly dry. Never rub a fabric that is being renovated op the washboard, nor wring it tightly, and in using naphtha remember that it roughens the hands and that after using it it is well to put vaseline upon them and to wear old gloves. Wash alpaca in the same manner as cashmere, adding a little gum arabic to the rinsing water. If the blade goods are of a rusty color, restore them by sponging with ammonia and aloohoL Always use apiece of the same material or one near to it to sponge with.

SOME QUEER ADVERTISEMENTS.

'Wanted, by a respectable girl, her passage to New York, willing to take care of children and a good tailor." "Lost, a collie dog by a man on Saturday answering to Jim with a brass collar around his neck and a muzzle." 'To be disposed of, a mail phaeton, the property of a gentleman with a movable headpiece as good as new." 'Lost, near Highgate archway, an umbrella belonging to a gentleman with a bent rib and bone handle." "M. Brown, furrier, begs to announce that he will make up gown, capes, etc., for ladies out of their own skins."

FOUND AT LAST.

A Hot Air Furnace Practically ^Smokeless—That Means Slack Coal

That Will Hold Fire for Eighteen or More. Hours—The Great QojttonSmead Furnace.

At last a hot air furnace has been found which will accomplish two wonders. 1. It burns the poorest quality of slack. 8. It does not smoke, either i,n the house or through the flues.

There are many other things this wonderful furnace will do, but the two already mentioned are its chief claims.

The furnace was invented by Professor

George

H. Cotton, of Hiram College,

Hiram, Ohio. He tested it for several years, practically, and it was found to be so good that the great Smead Foundry Company, of Toledo, one of the largest institutions in the country, bought an interest in it and is pushing its sale. It is known as the "Cotton-Smead Furnace." In this city the C. C. Smith's Sons Co. is the agent. The furnace is operated upon an entirely novel principle. The slack coal, instead of being thrown on top of the fire where it smothers it for a time, or produces bad puffs in the house, and winds up with black clouds of smoke through the chimney, is pumped up from below. The fire on top burns brightly, consuming all the gases as they arise from the fresh coal, and there is no puffing and practically no smoke out of the chimney. And all this is done with the cheapest slack coal, that can be bought for about 70 cents per ton delivered at your house. The construction is perfect and the saving of fuel enormous. Moreover the heat is uniform and steady, and the furnace is not cracked by irregular expansion due to sudden and irregular heating.

This furnace is on exhibition at C. C. Smith's Sons Co.'s store, and ought to be inspected by every one who intends to build or to make any change in heating his house.

The inventor has solved the problem of perfect construction, and has shown the way that great batteries of boilers may be fired without the clouds of smoke which have come from them. The "under feed" tells the story.
