St. Joseph County Independent, Volume 19, Number 21, Walkerton, St. Joseph County, 9 December 1893 — Page 4

(kl)e JniJcpciDcnt. WALKERTON, INDIANA, DEC. 9, 1893, W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. Carter Harrison left a fortune estimated at about $950,000. Prendergast is making a fool of himself in trying to appear crazy. The campaign of 1894 has begunWe are having too much politics. President Cleveland’s message appears on another page of the Independent. Jasper E. Lewis, of South Bend, has received his commission as United States commissioner, vice Alfred B Miller, deceased. The Corbett-Mitchell fight is booked -Mww&jn Florida, but Gov. Mitchell that, Russel Sage,Ttiie—^ew York multimillionaire, has just given a $2 contribution to charity. There is news in this. Congress met in regular session last Monday. Particulars of the proceedings of that body will be found on the inside pages of the Independent. The postoflice at Locke, Elkhart county, has been discontinued, for the second thne within two years. It will probably not be re-established soon. A brewing company at Terre Haute is giving away every Wednesday 2,000 loaves of bread to the poor of that city, and will continue to do so as long as it is considered necessary. The Independent never steals from its exchanges but always gives due credit. That is more than can be said of a number of other papers published not a thousand miles away. Editor Holdeman, of the Nappanee Advance, who has been conducting a hotel in Chicago during the world's fair, has returned to his sanctum and is putting renewed vim into his paper. It is argued by many that the present wave of depression will tend to place business upon more of a cash basis. Should such a happy result follow, the panic will have been to some purpose. Look out for the bogus telegram scheme which swindlers are now working over the country^., j f ;.. "deb Versa telegram at your door with two or three dollars charges be in no hurry to hand out the money. .. ' - 1 < Hawaiian is pronounced Ha-wi-yan, with long i and accent on second sylable. Queen Liliuokalani’s name is , pronounced thus: Lil-i-wo-kah-lah-nee, with the accent on the penult. . This, says the South Bend Times, is according to professors who are supposed to be authority. An exchange is authority for the <- statement that prominent capitalists have organized a company for the purpose of building and operating an ele- ' vated electric railroad between New ' York and Chicago. They propose to * make the distance of 1,000 miles in 1 ten hours. It will take $100,000,000 1 to construct the line. Republican papers in the southern 1 part of the state are advocating quite ; strongly Gen. Jasper Packard, of the i New Albany Tribune, for the repub- < Ucan nomination for secretary of state ’ next year. The general deserves well < at the hands of his party, and the i office in question would be none too good for him. At Terre Haute men are being re- ’ tired irom the street force who have ' property and means of subsistence, to make way for the more unfortunate ’ men who are in destitute circumstances. It seems strange that this plan is not more generally adoptad-La- v^re^Trur^ <fl^!ie present period of depression, as much distress could thereby be prevented. J. J. VanAlen, of New York, declines to go to Italy as ambassador. He acknowledges having subscribed not $50,000 but a large sum to the campaign fund He thinks that a man who subserves the interests of his party in this way is just as much entitled to reward in case of the success of his party as the man who aids it vAth voice or pen. And in taking this view of the matter he is undoubtedly right in a measure. Mr. VauAlen declines to serve because “as an honorable man he can not be placed in the position of receiving an appointment which has been made to appear to have been bestowed, not on account of the merit of the nominee, but simply as a matter of barter and sale.”

Joseph A. Beane has been appointed postmaster at Goshen. He is editor : of the Democrat and son of the late , William A. Beane. Governor Fennoyer, of Oregon, . named his Thanksgiving as Nov. 23 instead of the 30th, and he thus fnrthe.- demonstrated the mulish proclivities with which he is credited. The Indianaopolis News is authority for the statement that Congressman . Conn will introduce a bill appropriating $75,000 additional for the new public building at South Bend. If reports are to be credited, all republicans in the department at Washington not protected by civil service 5 rules will be invited to take a trip 1 down the toboggan between this and January 1. Judge Howard, of South Bend, has I been elected chief justice of the state 1 j supreme court. The judge is a good 4»nd an able man, and his rapid would seem to be well meriv ed The report which h’i^SlW^oingthe rounds of the press to the effect that Major William H. Calkins, formerly republican congressman for this district, but now of Tacoma, Wash., had democratic leanings, has been exploded. The major writes to a friend in La Forte that there is nothing in the report, and says that he is surprised that such a rumor should gain publicity. Queen Liliuokalani, of Hawaii, says she will sell all right, title and interest to her throne for the sum of $500,000. Cash in hand or in installments, purchaser giving his note with approved security, without interest if paid when due; if not so paid interest will be charged from date until paid, with attorney’s fees. No property to be removed until terms of sale are complied with. The Century magazine says: “A merchant may not hold ten sovereigns, but he may have capital and credit for ten millions. The tendency of the age is to use continually less and less coin in the transaction of business; and so far from there being any scarcity of gold there never was a period in the world's commercial history when the existing quantity was so large as at present, in proportion to the necessity for its use or for the purposes it has to serve.” Charles A. Batem an advaUHuw wttf;tnapolis, says: “A great deal about advertising is uncertain. Some things I know. I know them so well that I wonder how anybody ever doubted them. One thing is, that the highest priced paper is likely to be the cheapest. Another thing is, that ad vertising in dull season and on ‘off days’ pays, and pays big. Advertising is the only medicine for sick business, and it gives immediate relief if taken properly. I believe it will make business on any day in any year in any civilized community.” Here is some “fool figuring” forl you: “A man who lives to the limit of three score and ten, if in fairly good health and of average appetite, will have eaten in that time about 13,000 pounds of meat, about 10,000 pounds of vegetables, about 25,000 eggs, and 5,000 pounds of fish, chicken and game. He will have consumed about 12,000 gallons of various liquids or enough to make a lake covering four blocks in extent and two feet deep. In other words he will have eaten fourteen tons of solids and drank three hundred barrels of liquid refreshments.” The newspaper fraternity of northern Indiana has suffered another notable loss in the death of Quincy A. Hossler, of the Warsaw Times, which occurred last Wednesday. His death was caused by liver trouble and dropsy with which he had been ill for about ■wrr-munlhs. Mr. Hossler was a wellknown newspaper man and a leading member of the Northern Indiana Editorial Association. He was 51 years old, and leaves a wife but no children. He was associated with Gen. Reub Williams almost continuously in the newspaper business since 1858. Mr. Hossler is the fifth member of the Northern Indiana Editorial association to be cut down by death within the past two years and a half, they being Harry Francis, Dr. J. F. Endley, Alfred B. Miller, William A. Beane and Quincy A. Hossler. An Honest Thief. A thief at South Bend has just returned by mail a gold watch he stole from Airs. George Mclvor about two weeks ago.
