NBW ORI.KANS, the sleepy old southern

city, is again attracting attention. In this instance two gentlemen of muscle are to battwr each other's heads in the prize ring. New Orle«ns only becomes famous by ring encounters, or the assassination of such a man as Chief Hennessy. But the greatest knock out that ever occurred in Now Orleans death blow to the lottery.

Mn.'Brush, member of the republican state committee from this district, quotes his speech delivered at Indianapolis Tuesday as follows:

Tho fact 1» tl»er® arc mora democrat* than re* publiciuiH In Indiana, mid a larger proportion ot

them vntod lost fall. Any pull of the stato made within the lam twenty year* which shown it to fee anything but democratic 1* wrong. That being tho cise. anybody can ace that we have j'lther to convort democrat# to onr faith or Iniluoo thorn to vote our ticket. Heretofore when tho right kind of inducement® were u»e*l we suococdotl. ant when not we got left we always will. The means o( convcraton and the inducementt held out in tho la*t campaign, it neoma, were not aufflclont. The detnor raU attribute their late victory to the oxlatcDM! of tho AUHtrallau election law, and perhaps they tare right about that, but I can't toll whether It mado more derooerataor l«wen«jt the number of republican*. If it did either we want to work «OOJO

Mr. Brush very frankly admits that he believes in corruption as a means of carrying elections. He attributes tho defeat last fall to the absence of proper "inducements," which being literally translated means "boodle" or "corruption." T'itea Mr. Brush wants to work some plan "circumvent the Australian system," Mr. Brush does not hesitate to say that lu ivors violating the law if it is possible to do so and gain votes by it

But the Eighth congressional district rwenta the insult offered by Brush, when he says tiu*t this district asks, and stronger still, demands the p'ana u«ed in 1880 and 1888. Tho Eighth district does not demand any snch plans. Respectable republicans and decent democrats will resent the assertion. The Eighth district is respectable and refits to be mis* represented or controlled by an advocate of corruption from Montgomery county. Mr. Brush has branded himself as an advocate of unlawful and unfair means in carrying elections, lie has placed him' eeU on a par with Wm. Wade Dudley.

acter in the person of an old lady, of probably 50 years, who was engaged in selecting a ticket to the next drawing of the lottery. When questioned as to the frequency of Mich purchases, she said that she had been a regular purchaser of a one dollar ticket for a number of years. As a parting sally she ejaculated: "Well,

What may prove a lesson to some of the young men who smoke the cigarette is herewith presented. A certain young youag man, very well known about town, for he comes of well known wealthy parents, has long been addicted to these brain destroyers. Up to yesterday afternoon it had shown no serious results. While walking out Main street at that time smoking a cigarette, he suddenly felt a very strange and painful sensation in his head, especially in the nasal passages, accompanied by a rushing of blood to the head. Slipping into a phyaicianl&rQ^cc Up ^plained his symptoms to*^ra- i-», who, after slopping the flow of blood, made an examination of the fellow's mouth and nose. He found the blood vessels there, from inhalation of cigarette smoke, to be much dilated and several of them were brokeD, this causing the fio" of blood. When consulted as to the seriousness of the injuty, the physician stated that, if continued, the cigarettee smoking would in a short time cause the sudden death of the young man, but if he should quit it en-

Well, the boy& with elaborate lunches all prepared, mounted that car and started up toward Rosedale. They landed—they were, in fact, compelled to land about four uiiles this side of their destination. They were done for—they were literally knocked silly. Each was suffering the tortures of the damned with hands as raw as afresh beefstsak. They couldn't go hunting after nuts. That was a sure thing. Oonroy's ancient hand car had ruined them. Now what do you suppose they did? Thsv went down in their pockets and pooled stakes. Tney had just $7 between them. With this they hired a trmer to haul that cursed hand car back to Terre Haute and they walked. I tell you, Lew, your little tramp in from Ellsworth the other morning isn't a circumstance to that hickory nutting expedition."

WANT IT SETTLED-

The Water Work* Company IK not Satisfied With the Ordinance. L. L. Williamson has sent the following communication to Mayor Danaldson.

C. IkinaUkon, Mayor of Terre Hants, Indiana: DKARSIH: We are Informed ty the Illinois Trust and Savings bank, tru*t« c, that your city has sent them in payment of hydrant rental for part of October and tho m'Quth of Novesnbor, a itim considerably less than this company is entitled te according to its flgnrcs. We presume the citv of Terre uaute has made the ordinance passed in October In favor of this company the basts of Its figures. This company has not however, accepted the October ordinance, nor surrendered tho old ordinance under which its works were constructed and have since been operated, and has no lateatton of doing so.

The company's secured indebtedness is based upon that ordinance, and the hydrant rentals derived from the city have been assigned to the

trustee

with the consent of your city and arc paid b* the city to the trustee for application upon the company's bonded indebtedness. The*e rentals were assigned by this company to the trusteofor that purpose. If this company were willing to have the ordinance altered the consent of the tui«tee would .be sectttsary btfore any change could be made, and the trustee can only give that consent when directed to dIt so by the holders of all the bonded indebtedness of this company. "»of th npany has been willing at all times to aeet th- city of Terre Haute fairly and

liberally. Th* vstlon of the city, however, in voting to repeal that ordinance, l«sv« this company la doubt to whether the city now consider* that the com pany has any rights whatever* to deUver water to the citv of Terre Hant* er It* Inhabitants. 'If the action erf the council is legal In repealing this ordinance, then the company to-day has no ordinance and is not entitled to continue to deliver water. We think that this cannot be the position ot the city, but would like to know how the city considers the matter. As we have not accepted the ordinance passed in October and do not intend to accept it, of course vre claim ao rights under it but this company insists as above stated, that the action of the city in attempting to deprive thte cotr right to deliver water to the dor ot nd to its Inhabitant* is of no eSfed. «the city of the same opinion

THE HUMAN TARGET.

I like to examine the old showman's scrap-book, for it contains many curious clippings. Here is one of them: «*W anted—A man of nerve, to stand as a target for an expert knife thrower. Robinson's circus."

When 1 asked my old friend why he hac preserved the advertisement, he told the story which I am about to repeat "Pali Lancy was a jolly Irishman employed by the first circus that I belonget^), and his business was to irtg^rlntSEm. the erection and removal of the seats. But Pat was ambitious to become a performer, and several times went into training, but succeeded oniy in making bis companions laugh at his repeated failures He began too late in life to train his muscles for the accomplishment of difficult feats, ana, though he tried tumbling, riding, leaping, turning, and almost everything that he could think of, the result was only lameness, which occasionally kept him idle for a tew days. After many disappointments Pat had a bright idea, and, providing himself with a dozen dagger-like knives, he busied himself in throwing them at a wooden target about twenty feet distant. He had discovered his talent at last, for the success that followed his practice was really remarkable, and astonished even himself. After he was able to plant the knives in his wooden target at about the points he desired to hit, he drew the form of a man on it, and took delight in seeing how near he oould come to tne human outline without touching it For several months he kept up the practice, and at length oould follow the lines and fill it with bristling knives. Then a difficulty appeared, for Pat knew that his performance would be of no interest unless he had a living man to stand before the target and run the risk of being kjlled, and he could find no one in the troupe willing to play the part One day, after considerable coaxing, one of the hostlers agreed to go into practice with Pat and took his position with his back against the target Pat made ready to show bow very close be could fix the knife without injuring the man, but just as the knife left Pat's hand his assistant jumped away from the target, and nothing could induoe him to return. "Then the advertisement was published, and several weeks passed without anything being heard from it One day while we were in west* era Illinois it was answered in person by one of tho oddest-looking men 1 ever saw—a tall, pale, sunkencheeked, bright-eyed, nervous man, who said that his name was Juan. He at onoe aocepted the offer of our manager, and appeared anxious tc begin to play the part of a human targot "I was present at the first trial, and 1 nevar saw a man look so happy as Juan did when he stood before the target and faced Pat who had his hands full of the murderous-looking knives. When the first steel blade went whizzing through the air Juan smiled slightly, but otherwise did not move a muscle. The blade struck just over his head, and carried some of his hair with it into the board. Then came two more knives, one striking on each side of his neck, so close that light could not be seen between him and the steel. Knife after knife Fat threw until Juan waa literally fenced in with them and could not move until they were withdrawn. "Then Pat Lancv became Palancl, the great Roman knife thrower, and was billed to appear for the firsl time In America at Peoria. He did appear, proud and delighted, but no more so than Juan, who stood looking him. in the face as each shining blade glittered the air, and entered the board within a hairVbreadth of the human mark. Though the audience was perceptibly affected as each knife was making its journey, Juan never winced. This would have been remarkable in any one, but was particularly so in a man who appeared nervous at all other times. The knife* throwing act was a novelty then, and proved to be a good card for the show. Pat continued to improve in skill, and Juan was always perfectly willing that he should attempt any new feat no matter how dangerous it might be. In fact, the more dangerous the better Juan appeared to enjoy it He was always anxious for a performance, and the oniy time that he ever looked sad waa when one had closed. ••After the knife-thro wing act had been going on for a couple of weeka, and we had crossed the river into Iowa. Juan came to me, and maid •Do rou know that Pat will kill me so me dayP ••I hardly knew what to answer, for I had been fearing that a terrible accident might happen? yet I did not want to frighten Juan. So I evaded a direct answer by saying: «As Pai has not harmed yon yet, and seems so sure of his aim, there may be no great danger.* 'Wilt you take my place the day that we perform la Mount Pleasant? he asked. *1 have ray owa work.' 1 answered, wi would rather not iaisrfM with the part* of other performer*,'

-lie ga^e me a queer look, a* said: 'ow voa hav* answered my Brat "That wm *2m oniy time that Joan ever spoke l» me on the safcjeot and I then feared Usat be wosld not perform again bat he did, "ami twice each da? mm ready. asd apparently fouaam to pta? bit f«l I ^'WHSiSSd' st1 gonial -axtA ext«m»»*»k«Bsn#ae tlitfl leh him

was planting the knives around him. •'When we roaohed the little city of Mount Pleasant Juan was quite sick and did not leave the tent and we feared that he would not be able to perform in the afternoon. In the morning a few of us took a walk about the town, and also visited the insane asvium. where the physician in charge kindly received us and showed us through the institution. In the afternoon Juan was out of bed and ready for his performance, looking pleased, as he always did at such times, and impatient to begin. After the performance he entered the dress-ing-tent where I was sitting, and prepared to change his clothing. In a few minutes the superintendent of the asylum entered with our manager.' '"That is the man,' said the doctor, pointing at Juan. "Juan appeared to recognize him, and asked: 'Must I go back with you?' "Yes,' answered the doctor and turning to our manager, he continued: *14 is a strange case, for that man you call Juan is intelligent and harmless, and has been confined only on account of bis belief that when he dies he will certainly be lost, uh£ess some one besides himself kills film with a knife, &nd he is continually beseeching his friends to stab him to the heart About two months ago he escaped from the asylum, and we could not learn nothing of him, until I saw him in the circus ring a lew minutes ago, making a target of himself in the evident hope that one of the knives would kill Mm.' •"Juan went back to tho asylum, where he died a natural death soon afterward."

BEATEN AT HIS OWN QAME.

How Tom Marshall Outwitted a Tricky

Opponent at the Bar.

An old but good story is told of Tom Marshall, the brilliant Kentucky lawyer, who flourished in the time of Henry Clay. One diy an old friend of Marshall got into some sort of trouble, and he was hauled up before the nearest justice of the piece—an old fellow who knew barely enough to make out a peace warrant But what he lacked in legal knowledge he made up in dignity and well-carried-out pomposity. Marshall took up the case for his friend and astonished the court with his clear reasoning. He was very young at the time, and the old lawyer who was pittec. against him grew indignant at the effrontery of such a youngster, ••Your honor," he said, after Tom had finished his argument "in Kent 267, you'll find that the Supreme court has held that the-very self-same evidence which I have offered is thoroughly proper, though this young man from the city assumes to deny it I have practiced law before he was born, and am thoroughly conversant with the many intricate points involved in the matter at issue. The Supreme court has held, I say, that the evidence I have offered is admissible, and in reference I quote you Kent 267.J'

Tom knew the old fellow had no grounds fo£ his citation, and,- in fact there was no such case before the Supremo court He had not brought his law booKS with him, nor did the old justice have anything but the statutes. It would not do to refute his adversary without an authority, for the d&urt would not believe him. He could readily see that the court was impressed with the shyster, and that he himself was looked upon as a presumptious young snob.

After a moment's thought he brightened up, and, rising, he bowed politely to the old lawyer and said to the court: "My learned old friend is correct in his citation. I know that there was suoh a oase before the Supreme court for I myself was engaged as council for the defence. But he does not go far enough. The case was ap^ pealed, and the Court of Appeals reversed the decision of the Supreme court, holding that the evidence as introduced was clearly inadmissible^*

This coup d'etat on Tom's part fairly knocked the old legal light out He knew he had lied in his quotation, but had depended on Tom's ignorance to let his legal authority go through, But he waa not prepared for Tom's ready wit He fairly raved as he jumped to his feet and cried out: "It's a liel There never was suoh a case before the Supreme court and 1 lied when I quoted it and you lied when you said the Court of Appeals had reversed the decision."

The old justice grew angry at being Imposed on, and not only did he decide in Tom Marshall's favor, but he fined the old shyster for contempt

GUMS NOW IN USE.

The Stillctto Xo Longer to Be Deed By the lUlita AsssMia The Italian assassin of New Or* leans has long: since abandoned til* stil lotto, says the Philadelphia Press. Occasionally the banana knife, a more effective weapon. Is used but the blunderbuss or sawod-off gun is the favorite. It is objectionable in this, that it makes a noise that alarms thd police, but it baa the merit that sever fails. The assassins take an old dou-ble-barrelled gun and file off the carrels, leaving them about fifteen rnchee is length. The stock is also removed and fitted to it with a hinge* The weapon, therefore, is like a claspknife. three feet or more ic length, bat when closed only fifteen inches. The Italian using it can eaaUy conceal the gun in hi# coat or pants, effectually hiding it When it is ready for use he opens it and he has a dou-ble-barrelled musket which wBi shoot further and better than a revolver. This is loaded to the muzzle with rough slug*, which scatter ia firing, and which tear the victim badly. Nearly all of the mm killed try ibm Stoftagherra bate toes found with from six to ten fatal wound*.
