SHELBURN MINES.

Superintendent Helsen Says They Will Not Pay Miners' Scale. In an (Interview iwith on© of the dele'g'atefs in attoyadApc© art the miners' convention heme msFWeek, the miner, in discussing the siitiua'tkm said to an Eacpress reporter that the inline operators of Shelbarn bad given as&unance that they would continue wwTfc at the Old price, 60 cents a ton for mining. Tb$ reporter did not question the (miner's authority for making the ^taltesneat but supposed he knew what he was talking about. Mr. C. C. Heisen, suiperintenden't of the SheKbum mines, who reSikies at Chicago, denies the statement to the following rater to the Express:

Dear Sir—1 nto'tice in a recent dssue of your pamper the following: "The operattoxls at Shelbum have also armounloed that they "have contracts that they oanno|t well abandon and will continue ait the 60 oeoit scale, as well ais those

Knox ad Greene feoun'tjes." As the above statement is erroneous and unau'thlairized, I think lit (proper that you shouild correct it in your nrSt issue. Owntag a majority of the .Stock in the Shelburn •Ooal Mining Co., I am fn a poteiitio n'tto say, that the mtin6 has no contract beyond the 1st of M!oy. I hWve repatedly stated to the miners at SJielburn, that we cannot market ooal in Chicago prdfltojbVy while paying a ralte in

exQ&9e

of tliat now in vxgaie in

the Clfnton distriic't, with Which we come tin competition, toiwtt: 55 cents. And as the SheJbusm

Octal

Mini rug Co. does not

wish tJo d!f business for glory any longer it will be cotnipe'lled to shut down on May tet unless the miners will agree to the Clinton rate. Yoatrs truly,

The company has thousands off -bushels along the river south and the shipment to the mills here by river is much 'cheaper than it could ibe moved by raill. When the boats land here they gifve temporary empioyment to all the idle lailfor lin the "city and gives the river the appearance of oldn times when Terre Haute Was a boatnig town. There is dorn enough south to keep both boats busy during the entire summer, but there is no likelihood that the river wjU be in condition sufctalble for boating more thn mlonth or six weeks.

A DETECTIVE'S STORY

(Continued from First Page.) son saiJf 'Fred is ail right-* WaHimfg said, 'I wonder how they are going to take us over the river?' Jackson said, 'Any old way.* Jaicfcscm said, 'You're all right, old boy. Stand pat You have played your part well/ Then, th% prisoners talked low and I could not htear them. Jackson also told "Walling to stand pat when he got over the river."

Continuing the Witness said: "I satw Dr. M'oGee hand Will Wood 'a letter." An objection was made to the continuation of the testimony along this line The Objection was sustained, and the witness was then handed over to the defense. Colonel Crawford had the testimony of the witness belfore the coroner. He questioned him as to one or two discrepancies in the two statements. The witness was then excused. He was stopped by Juror Scharstein, who sysiked him: "Hafve you identified those ladies' andkerdh efs found' in the trunk?" The witness h®d hot. The articles were produced and identified. T!he witness* was then espoused.

Saloonkeeper Ligner Testifies. John W. Digner was then called. He said: "I used to keejp a saJoon at 229 West Ninth street. I kneiw Jackson and Walling. I knoiw Fred Albion. I have seen Jaickson .five or six times. He came in and "dran'k beer. He oaane in one Saturday night and asked Mm to take care of a satchel for him. He left it there until aJbout 10 o'clock Sunday evening, when he came and got it.* On the following Monday night he brought it agialxu and left "-in a few hours. I did not handle the valise."

Witness identified itlhe valise. He said tfur.liher^ 'iMirs. iMo-fDeven's house, where Jaickison and!' Wailling roomed), was right across t'he street, from any iplaoe. Jackson was at my saloon' the ndgihit olf arrest. (He came i® for a 'pitcher of 'beer.'" Tlhe witness wae not crossexamiinedL

The witness whose tesit&aony. is most •eagerly Jooked forward to now S* Geo. •H. Jackson-, itihe Walnut ih'ill coachman. It is not 'kntowirt yet wihien ihe will be put on the stand. M. R. iLpckhard, com imoin wealth attorney, said after 'the court ttihiis an'oming: "I airt un-aWe .to tell.1 you, sir, when we will mil the coachmian, Jaokson. I tonow, ibut 1 do not think it proper for ime to- say at tihds t:im'e." He also stated "tihat 'he ibhou'ghit t'hiet caise otf the state Would last danger than at tfirst thought, and lit would prdbolbly mot 'be .concluded until Wednesday eventog. :It is expecstedi that Jackson's te»td jtip%y Wftll tpTotve sen. sational.

As to who the itlwo are ojtly speau'lation. is possible.

Wood's Letters In Evidence.

Olf the new testimony there was that of Charles Rogers, nig-ht clerk of Header's .Ho.tel, that Walling came there after 8 o'clock in the morning of February 1st with his clothes wringing wet and rushed to 'bed without registering. He had never before or since stayed over night at the hotel-

Harry Hays of Greencastle, Ind., testified that he sold shoes to Pearl Bryan November 18, 1896. He described them minutely. Lieutenant Sefferans of Ft. Thomas gave a most minute and intelligent description of the immediate surroundings of the corpse early after it was found. He and Detective MoDermott agree in testifying to an imprint in the slope 'like that made by some one forced to sit down heavily. He testified to seeing tracks above the slope and to discovering a glove trodden 'in the ground which had already been identified as that of Pearl Bryan.

The defense brought IWill Wood on the stand to interrogate about two vile letters written by him to Scott Jackson on [February 1st and 3d. Here it was that the women were required to retire. These letters are too coarse and indedent 'to be printed.

The -points of greatest importance, as bearing on the case in Will Woods' letters to Jackson was that in that dated Plymouth, Ind., February 1st, were the following sentences: "Doc, if you have let a chance go by 'I'll give you 1," also "If you have 'grown chicken 'hearted yiou aught to be shot."

The rest of the letters were paade up of innuendoes and personal allusions intelligible to the writer and Jackson, 'but riddiles to all others. Wood was detained to give the defense opportunity to offer this testimony.

Dr. Mataln's Nervine Coffee Makes a De licious Cup at Half the Usual Expense. The taste of this new health drink is peculiar to itself, yet so much like genuine coffee that many prefer it to Mocha and Java. If you are an invalid and a victim of coffee or tea—both very injurious—and cannot quit, mix a small quantity with Nervine Coffee and break away gradually. Why throw money away for medicine while fhe Cause of the disease remains. Nervine Coffee cures hea'dache, nervousness, etc. Saves doctor bills and coffee expense.

WAR AND COMMERCE.

The Lesson Taught by the Conflict Be^ween JFmnoe and Rngland. War with France opened in 1793 and was protracted, with the exception of the Bbort break due to the peace of Amiens, for 23 years. We started with 16,073 ships, of 1,540,600 tons, manned by 118,000 m^n, and with a navy of 141 ships of the lino, 155 frigates and' 139 small vessels. Wo had to deal with a thoroughly inefficient enemy, disorganized by revolution and distracted by intestinal quarrels. From the first hour of war our military superiority was unchallenged. The declaration of war, however, causod a very sorious contraction of trade. There were many failures, and a temporary loan of £5,000,000 was necessary to avert panic. This measure had a most salutziry effect, and only £3,855,000 was applied for. Early in the struggle tho attack upon our commerce bogan. Ships of war and privateers of all sorts fell upon it. Rowboats put off to merchantmen lying becalmed in the channel or under the Forelands and. carried them by boarding. Surcouf in tho East Indies swept into his net not only helpless sailing ships, but also large and- heavily armed Tndiainon. In 1805 the Rochefort squadron got to sea and took in five months 4 warships and 42 merchantmen. "In 1810," says The Naval Chronicle, quoted by Captain Malian, "signals were out almost every day at Dover on account of the enomy's privateers appearing in sight." In 1800, the sarao authority tolls us, thero were 87 large French privateers in tho channel ports of France alone. From first to last tb'e French captured 11,000 ships, with their cargoes, worth £200,000,000, atoll of 2K per oent at the very least on our trado.

At first sight this loss does not look particularly heavy, and it certainly had no effect upon tbe issue of the war. It was only so much property destroyed that might, if spared, havo addod to our wealth. We annihilated French trado, so that Napoleon could not even sond a cockle boat io sea, as ho himself confessed, and we captured no less than 1,031 privateers, carrying 9,400 guns, manned by 69,000 iusn. Thus we lost ah avorage of 650 ships a year and took loss than 55 a year of tbe depredators. Neutrals, it will be observed, Tost by peace and gained by war. From 1790 to 1793 tho avbrage clearance of neutral shipping was under 200,000 tonB.—Nineteenth Centory.

Now when we look at our language, and that In the case of man is a f^ir test, we find how'strongly tbe oomparatlve faro* exhib-' ited by eaoh of the hahds has left its mark on ,our common expressions. Tbe right is the "ruling" hand, the left is the "worth' less" or the "weaker" hand, if we regard the derivative meanings of tho names. In words imported from the Latin ascertain ability is called "dexterity" or right hand edness, while that which has an evil or unsuccessful influence becomes "sinister or left handed. In like manner, if we look at words from a French souroe, we find that a clever person is "adroit" because he has right handed qualities, but clumsy person Is "gauche" because his work is left handed.

It is evident that when bur race became so far advanced as to frame words for ideas and things the rule was that the members of it were right handed. And if we examine other languages we find proofs that suoh a rule existed among the people using them. There is, however, good reason for jthinking that man originally oould nse either hand equally well. "This seems a hazardous statement to make about a remote ancestor in tbe age before the great glacial epoch had furrowed the mountains of northern Europe, but nevertheless it is striotly true and Btrictly demonstrable. Just try, as you Nad, to draw with the forefinger and thumb of your right hand an imaginary human profile oh the page on which these words are printed. Do you observe that (unless yOU are an artist, and therefore sophisticated) you naturally and instinctively draw it with the face turned toward your left shoulder? Try now to draw it with the profile to the right, and you will find it requires afar greater effort of tbe thumb and forefioger,

The .hand moves of its own accord from without in ward, not from within outward Then, again, draw with your left thumb and forefinger another imaginary profile, and you will find, for tbe same reason, that the face in this oase looks rlghftward. Existing savages and sur own young children, whenever they draw a figure in profile, be it of nan or beast, with their right hand, draw it almost always with the face or head turned to the left, in accordance with this natural instiuot. Their doing so is a test of their perfect right handedness. "But primitive man, or, at any rate, tbe xpost primitive men we know personally, tbe carvers of the figures from the French bone caves, drew men and beasts on bono or mammoth tusk turned either way indiscriminately. The inferenoe is obvious. They must have been ambidextrous. Only ambidoxtrous people draw so at the present day, and, ljideed,.to scrape a figure otherwise with a sharp fliut on a piece of bone or tooth or mammoth tusk would, even for a practioed hand, be comparatively difficult" (Allen). In conneotion with this passage it is interesting to examine the reports of the bureau of ethnology, where it will be seen that, although the majority of profiles executed by the North American Indians follow the rule, many faces also turn to the right, and it is found that left handedness, or rather ambidexterity, is very common among these tribes.

But doubtless the reader will notice that in writing his hand moves from left to right, and not from right to loft. Here is an apparent violation of the prinoiple laid down in the quotation given from Mr. Grant Allen. It is, however, moro apparent than real. If you study Egyptian hieroglyphics, you will find that profiles invariably look to the left. Hebrew, Arabic, Hindoos tan eo and other ancient languages read from right to left. In these, as in some modern tongues, we have to begin tho book at what is to us the wrong end. The reason of this is that the early languages were inscribed, not written. A tablet of marble or a brick formed the page. The right hand could, therefore,' carve or impress the symbol 16 the natural way, and pass on. With the introduction of wax tablets of papyrus and, in later times, of parchment and paperx a difficulty arose, for if the hand began at the right and worked leftward, it would obliterate its own work.

Honce tho habit of writing from left to right, so that not only may the writing be cloan, but also that it may be visible. With writing from left to right came also reading in the same direction, and one result of this is very curious. Wo have becomo so accustomed to move the eyes from left to right that we lnstinotively look at things in'that way. Close your eyes in a room and thon open them. You will find, unless you make a positive effort, that your eyes take in the objects on the loft hand first and then move to the right. This is tho way in which we view'a landscape or a picture. The painter follows tho habit of the writer and works from left to right to avoid "smudging" his work, and it has been remarked that when Boveral compositions enter into one picture, as in some of the undent altar picoes, the Chronological order runs from tho upper left hand corner to the lower right hand one.

Oddly Colored Squirrels.

Some oddly colored squirrels are said to havo been taken near Belleville, Out. A black squirrel with numerous white spots was killod by Hull Austin, and another man got a fox oolored black squirrel.

In lib east side drtig store ob several oooadons I hate noticed a well dressed, gentlemanly looking, elderly man of flebrmio features. He always bade me a picasant good evening when he entered, passed on to the proprietor, reoeWed from him a nfthi gnd then left tbe plaos. The first

I saw him I thought he was probably collector of some kind, but his visits after business hours made that almost Impossible.

I was in another little store on the east side the other evening when tbe same fallow entered and repeated the drug store pttfbnnaaoe. "Who Is that fellow anyway?" I asked, the proprietor. "Who is he?" he repeated. ''Why, he's a professional sobnorrer." "A .professional what?" I asked. "Ob, you don't know what that means?" he then he explained the matter. "Sohnorrer," he continued, "is a Hebrew Word. A sohnotnir, translated into English, is a man who knows it all—-a kind of an all around, gbod, entertaining fellow, but one, by the way, who 1b opposed to work. This fellow you just saw is a professional sohnorrer. He dresses finely, is well thought of and enjoys life to the fullest extent, but to my knowledge he hasn't worked steadily In eight years. "He is a thoroughly honest and Well educated man and that is the reason for his success. "There are many dm all shopkeepers on the east side wbose profits will net enable them to employ olerks. This sohnorrer is well acquainted with these people and whenever one of them wants to leave his store for any purpose he notifies the sohnorrer beforehand. "Fully 100 east side storekeepers are his friends and he visits each one of them regularly every day or so. Sometimes eaoh one gives bfc a 10 cents, sometimes H5 cents and when business is extra good they often give him more. "This follow you just saW has made on an average $10 a day for the past five years and in all that time he hasn't done one good day's work. Some shopkeepers give him enough within a month to employ a good clerk, but as they give it a little at a time it is never missed."—New York Herald. /.

THE SPANISH CAMPAIGN.

Despite Constant Victories It \Was a Disastrous Failure. The French interests in Spain were left is a most deplorable oondltion. The populace of Madrid received the hero of the age with ooldfiess $Dd shut themselves up in their houses to avoid forming a crowd or creating any enthusiasm in the streets. Tbejr would not even oome out to see the gorgeous military parade which was arranged for their benefit. The gentry and nobility were alike distant and oold. It w&s dear that Spain oo.uld neither be wheedled, cajoled nor threatened into even passive acquiescence in the new conquest. It was essential, therefore, that another course should be tried.

On Deo. 4 Napoleon, in the role of re-former-statesman, pronounced and issticd from Chamartin a series of tho most' thoroughgoing edicts. All feudal privileges, all interprovincial oustoms dues, were swept away, the inquisition was abolished, and tbe number of convents was reduced to a thi|d. These measures were in themselves most salutary and struck at the very root of the upas tree under the baneful shade of which Spain had been slowiy perishing. But to do good they must be enforced. There must be a complete military conquest of the country and a capable administration.

There was neither. The Spanish army had been defeated, but, severe as had been its punishment, its resistanco was not destroyed. The occupation of tbe country was also 6odly incomplete, and it mads no difference whithor French soldiers marched or what strategic points they held, some kind of Spanish fighting force, no matter bow irregular, sprang up behind them and on their sides. The complete military centralization Of Prussia Jiad made Jena deolsive for the whole loose jointed territory of that kingdom. The compact territory of Spain and tho local independence of her peoples made regular viotories utterly fruitless so far as the open country was ooncerned.—"Life of Napoleon," by W. M. Sloane, in Century.

One Book Agent Exasperated. The agent for a handsomely illustrated book to be sold on long time credit—a feast to the intellect aud an adornment to any library—leaned against tbe side of the house, caught his breath, clinched his fist and looked skyward. 'What's the matter?" asked tho polioeman. "I've met the meanest man," he answered. '-I've heard of him, and I've read about him in tho p&pors, but I never expected to meet him face to face." 'Where is ho?" 'Up in that office building." 'How do you know he's the meanest man?"

By tbe way be actod. I showed him this work of art, leoturod on it for half an hour, showed tho engravings, and, whon I hinted that it would bo a good thing to order, what do you think ho said? Ho said he nover bought books. 'Ho didn't have to. lie just waited forsome fool agent to como along and toll him^all that was in em and turn over tho loavtawhile be looked at the pictures.
