A NEGRO NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE BEST INTEREST OF THE COLORED PEOPLE OF INDIANA The nomenclature of the ninety-two counties into which Indiana is divided is a subject to which propably not one Hoosier in a thousand has ever given any consideration whatever. Familiar as these names are as household words there are few who ever take the pains to inquire into there derivation, and yet such an investigation opens a most interesting field of research. The names of the counties in this state were severally designated and fixed by public law at the time of their organization respectively. A very large number of the counties were named from eminent statesman and warriors of the revolutionary era. Among these are Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison' Monroe, Hamilton, Hancock, Henry, Jay, Knox, Marshall, Rush, Allen, Bartholomew w, Carroll. Dearborn Franklin, Greene, Maron, Jasper, Newton, Montgomery, Morgan, Putman, Starke, Sullivan, Warren, Wayne Pulaski, DeKalb, Steuben; and Kosiuskio. The following counties derive their names from distinguished officers or soldiers in the war of 1812 and in the Indian wars occurring about that period upon the frontier of the northwast, and from distinguished statesman and WILLIAM M'KINLEY. civilians of the same period succeeding the era of the revolution; Brown, Boone Davis, Dubois, Floyd, Grant, Johnson Pike, Porter, Ripley, Scott, Shelby, Spencer, Wells, Whitley, White, Owen Warrick, Jackson. Benton. Clay, Randolph, Cass, Clinton and Crawford, names of quite a considerable group of our counties have a distinct local color being derived from those of notable men resident in our own borders, well known in the earlier history of the territory and state of Indiana and distinguished by services either civil or military rendered to our people. Among these are the following: Clark, Vigo, Vandorburg, Posy, Harri Six of the counties in our state are named from rivers which either bound M. B. or traverse their territorial limits, these are: Ohio, Elkhart, Tippecanoe, St. Joseph, Wabash and Vermillion. There is a small number of counties which were named after counties in other and older states whence the INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1900 Recorder.

Among these are Orange, Huntington, Martin, Union, Fulton, Fayette and Fountain. The following counties were named from Indian tribes formerly living in the region of country where they are situate: Miami and Delaware. Three of our counties perpetuate the memoroy and heroism of distinguished officers in the old navy of the United States during the last war with Great Britian, Perry, Lawrence and Decatur Lake county is named from Lake Michigan, by which it is bounded on the north. The county of Switzerland is named from the republic of Switzerland, whence the large number of the first settlers of the county emigrated to the United States. Lagrange county was named in honor of the country seat and residence of Gen. Lafayette in France. The county of Laporte was named from a certain prairie lying in it, a tract of country long and well known for its beauty anc fertility, which was in the language of the early French explorers of that region, called 'Laport' that is "the door". Although the nomenclature of our counties is, in any historic view, very recent, yet in a few instances differences of opinion have arisen in respect to the origin of the name. In the foregoing classification regard has been given in such instances to the weight of opinion derived from what has been conceived to be the most authentic sources. T. H. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Now, the people of a certain locality were troubled grievously with plantains, which persisted in growing on the lawns in front of their houses. "Why seek to exterminate them?" asked a stranger who passed that way. "Do you not know that it is now good form to cultivate plantains instead of lawn grass? Many of our best people are doing it. When properly trimmed, they look much more luxuriant than grass, and the precise shade of green they present is the height of fashion." So the people quit trying to raise grass on their lawns and devoted themselves to the cultivation of the plantain instead. But such is the perversity of what we call inanimate things that the plantains at once became sickly and feeble, while the unfashionable and undesirable grass began to grow with such extraordinary zeal and persistency that it soon took entire possession, and the people were compelled, with great reluctance, to give up the struggle and abandon their lawns to the grassy enemy with the old fashioned tint.—Chicago Tribune. Indiana's Best Negro Newspaper M. SENATOR FAIRBANKS. A Presidential Possibility in 1904. The hotel waiter of 1900 is a far different man than some described in the Whitehead Stewards' Handbook of years ago. Education, higher influences, a desire to excel in dress or deportment, all have had a tendency to elevate and make better the colored waiter of to-day. The tough character—the really bad men—dish throwers, razor flingers and crap shooters are disappearing from the dining rooms and men of neat appearance, with bright, clean costumes, freshly shaven, close cut finger nails, snowy linen, shoes in good repair (if old and easy); men of pleasant countenance, willing and sprightly, are the ones found in the first-class houses. In the history of my hotel service I have found that a winner at all times in a waiter is a pleasant, agreeable countenance, a sunny disposition, and if the few who are not so inclined would take their facial appearance into consideration, the guest, always appreciating a pleasant servant, will have confidence in him; will feel confident of good service and reward accordingly. Waiters of Ibianapolis, besides being of a better class, are gaining the confidence of their employers, evidenced by the fact that all waiters in the first class hotels received (without striking or trouble of any kind) an increase of wages during the summer months. My advice to waiters is: do not keep late hours, get plenty of rest, which will enable you to put vim and vigor in to your work; be temperate, never let the liquor (called niggar whiskey) pass your liPs; obey the rules of your hotel carefully, look for new ideas in your calling; study to serve the guest's order just as it is given to you, and above all, place the dishes before the one served in their proper arrangement I have seen waiters who thought they knew their business, take a man's crer, fill it quickly, and set the dishes before him in such a manner that he would have to spend considerable time rearranging them before commending his meal. That's hash slinging for sure and it's getting rid of a mau in a hurry, and probably getting rid of him for the hotel. The trend of events is towr ad a la carte service, which means more careful work from the waiter and his only salvation, if he wants to continue in the business, is to keep up with the times. "O. K." Passed on by the Court. After certain business differences the Davis Paint Manufacturing company and the Metzger Linseed Oil company came to an agreement. Their lawyers drafted in concert a judicial decree satisfactory all around, marked it "O. K." and appended their signatures. Subsequently one of the companies wanted to back out. It set up the contention that the letters O. K. in such a use are mere slang and not binding. An appellate court in Illinois pronounces this contention no good. The judges quote from the Century Dictionary the attempts to account for "O. K." by tracing it back to Andrew Jackson and (still further back) to Old Keokuk, whose name is borne by an Iowa city unto this day. They quote the dictionary definition, "All right; correct; now commonly used as an indorsement, as on a bill." They remark: "The definition undoubtedly gives that which is the universal conception and understanding. That is no doubt the sense in which the court understood it and the meaning the counsel intended to express."-Hartford Courant. What Democracy Would Do. If the Democrats were in power they would: Withdraw our troops from Luzon, giving the natives independence, and throw the $20,000,000 purchase price away. Send no troops nor warships to China. Whip England for its friendliness during the Spanish-American war. Smash every trust, except those in which Jones and other Democrats are interested. Abolish the regular army. Free Cuba and Porto Rico without regard to possible results. Repeal the sound money law and Madame McAlairdee. Clairvoyant Madame McNaidee has on file in her office, letters from persons all over the United States congratulating her wonderful mediumistic power. Don't delay calling on her. If husband is cross or gone, if bad luck surrounds you if sweetheart has changed, if you have been seen or if you think that you are under the influence of witchcraft, if you can't collect money due you, give her a call. Ladies money due men call for she, has done thousands good and what she has done for others she will do for you. A call will convince you that she possesses unspet able power. THE YAQUIS. Facts About the Tribe Which Mexi- co Has Been Fighting for ‘Conturies. The Mexican authorities have an. nounced a war of extermination against the Yaqui Indians of Sonora. General Torres, in command of the dis trict, warned them at the time of thei last outbreak that no quarter would be shown them if they broke the peace again. ‘The Yaquis have never een con: quered and have given the Mextean government a great deal of trouble The region inhabited by the Yaquis Hes in the sonthern portion of the state of Kouora. It is a country eminently fitted for the natural pursuits and warlike impulses of the tribe which people It fnvolving, as it does, league upon league of rich farming and grazing fand along the Ifo Yaqui, and leagues more of razged territory in the fastness of the great Sierra Madres, alike un- known and inaccessible to any saye their own followers. x While even more fierce in their na- tures than the Indians of other tribes, the Yaquis are intellectually far above the ordinary, to which fact is doubtless due their characteristic success in bat- tle. ‘Three centuries ago the Yaquis were the strongest and most formi¢- able of all the tribes of Mexico. In Cortez's time their number was esti- mated at 350,000, and thelr haunts ex- tended from Durango, in the south, throughout the entire northwestera part of Mexico, and all that portion oi the United States as far north as Colo- rado. ‘The first war with the Yaquis dates back to the period when Coronado in- vadied this territory. ‘The entrance of che Spanifirds into their domain was viewed by the Indians as trespass, and was met with violent opposition on their part. ‘The superior arms of the Invaders, however, prevailed, and in one year the Yaquis lost over 20,000 of their tribe. Since that early date they have cherished the most bitter hatred for the Spaniards, and certain customs and encroachments originating with them and subsequently handed down to the Mexieans have been the cause of the abuost perpetual warfare throughout the ensuing years. It is this continual strife that has proved so isastrous to the ranks of the Yaquis. In the early part of the present century their numbers had decreased to less than 37,000, while to-day there remains only about 15,000 of the once powerful tribe, Of this latter number there are ‘about 5,000 able-bodied warriors.

Secondly, tiey are better armed, being equipped with Winchest- er rifles, whereas the standart Mextean art is the Pemington, and lastly, the:t stronghold in the Sierra Madre Moun- tains is practically invincible. Hence, to conaier those 5,000 Yaqui braves, provided the entire tribe has taken to the warpath, is a serious undertaking. The Mexican governnrent doubtless realizes this only too well. From Feb. rnary, 1848, the date of the Guadaloupe Hidalgo treaty. until the treaty at Or- tin in July, 1897, there Was searcely a year that. the troops. were not en- gaged fighting the Yaquis. And finally, after the Mexican government had sac- Fificed over 35,000 soldiers and many muillions-of dollars in its vain endeavor to vuiqnishthis restless foe. it was ‘obliged to make overtures with terms satisfactory to the Indians before the latter wonld come down ont of the mountains and return to their former peaceful pursuits in the valley of the Yaqui river. rs : ‘The manner in which this treaty was Hrought about involves the. following story. relatedsby one of the Inte Gen: eral Torres’s staff: “In one 6f the many forays of 1896 and 188%, a young Yaqui warrior was wounded 2nd eaptured. Instead of 0+ dering him shot, Colonel Pinado, the ofticer In command, directed that he should have the ‘kindest treatment. When the Indian recovered, Colone! Pinado set him free and asked him ta Hoar a message to Chief Tetablate, the Yaqui leader. In+ this message th: Colonel proposed a conference to ter minate the long war. Tetablate, how: ever, returned word that the fate of ‘a former chief. Cajemf, who had been Iiged down the mountains on a similar pretext and shot. was too fresh tm ls memory, and that he did not care to Teaye his defenses to mect any Mexican officers in conference. He moreove: stated bluntly that if Colonel Pinadc wanted to see him he would have t¢ some into the mountains, attended only oy the Indian messenger. He conclud .ed with hie assurance of personal safe- ‘ty to the Colonel, and promised that no attempt would be made to avenge Ca. fecal's death by breaking faith, as the Mexican general had done. “Under the peculiar condition of af- tairs, Jt took a man of grest courage to accept Tetabiate’s invitation. Colonel Pinado, however, was thoroughly fa- miliar with the Yaqui character. He knew also that there was extraordin- ary provocation to break it in this in- stance. His brother officers were all ‘opposed to the step, but when the mat- ter was reported to General Torres, he ordered Pinado to proceed to the monn- tains and open negotiations with the Yaqui chief. ‘The daring Mexican obeyed, and, departing with his soli- tary guide, penetrated the mountains for several miles. At length they came to a little valley, where stood the Yaqui chieftain surrovhded by a dozen of his braves. After the betrayal of Chiet Cajemi, the trive decreed that thelr chief should always be attended by not fewer than twelve warriors as a body- guard. As he approached: the grour of Yaqnis, Colonel Pinado handed biz rifte to one brave and his revolver tc another. ‘Then he held out his hand te Tetabiate. ‘The chief took it, and par- ting the Colonel on the shoulder, said: “Colonel Pinado, I thought I was a brave man and a soldier, but by this act you have surpassed even a Yaqut's bravery.” . “Colonel Pinado’s mission proved en tirely satisfactory to both the Yaquis and the Mexican government, and ay rangements were made for the~ final signing of the peace treaty, which sub- sequently took place at Ortiz. That was two years ago and the Yaquis have from that time until theix recent re- newal of hostilities manifested but ona inclination to go to war. That was when, at the commencement of the late Spanish-American conflict, they dis patened a courier across the bordes with word that thelr tribe would es teem it a privilege to furnish a regi- ment of picked warriors to assist. the Yankees in administering a drubbing to their old enemies, the Spaniards.”— Louisville Courier-Journal. . A Timely Protest. The gifted wife of Gen. Lew Wal- luce, the author, has created a stir in educational circles by charging the schools of the country with ofer edu- cution of children. Here are a few of the ideas of Mrs. Wallace concerning the education of the young, published in the Texas-Colorado Chautauqva Journal: “Few are born great, and 4{ greatness is to be achieved it will not be by piling books at the top of one's head till the brains can not move.

Haye decision of charact Dr. Talmage’s Sermon, ee On ARPS COC m0 OL. Chanact This discourse of Dr. Talmage is ap- propriate for all seasons, but especial- ly in these times of great political ag- itation, ‘The text is, Daniel vi. 16, “hen the king commanded, and they brought Daniel and cast him into the den of lions.” Darius was king of Babylon, and the young man Daniel was so much of 2 favorite with him that he made him prime minister, or secretary of state. But no man could gain such a high position without exciting the envy and Jealousy of the people. ‘There’ were demagogues in Babylon who were so “appreciative of their own abilities that they were affronted at the elevation of this young man, Old Babylon was afraid of young Babylon, ‘The taller the cedar the more apt it is to be riven of the lightning. ‘These demagogues asked the king to make a decree that anybody that made a petition to any one except the king during a period of thirty days should be put to death. King Darius, not suspecting any foul play, makes ‘the decree. ‘The dema- gogues have accomplished all. they Want, because they kuow that no one ean keep Daniel from sending peti- tions before God for thirty days, So far from being afraid. Daniel goes on with his supplications three times a day and is found on bis bousetop making prayer. He ts caught in the act. He is condemned to be devoured by the lions. Rongh executioners of the law seize him and hasten shim to the cavern. I hear the growl of the wild beasts, and I see them pawing the dust, and as they put their mouths to the ground the solid earth’ quakes with their bellowing, I see thelr eyes roll, and I almost hear the fiery eye- bas snap in the darkness. ‘These mon- sters approach Daniel. ‘They have an appetite keen with hunger. With one stroke of thelr paw or one snatch of their teeth they may leave him dead at the bottom of the cavern, But what a strange welcome Daniel receives from these hungry monsters! ‘They fawn around him; they lick his hand; they bury his feet in their long manes, ‘That night he has calm sleep with his head pillowed on the warm necks of the tamed lions. But not so well does Darius the king sleep. He has an attack of terrific in- sonia, He loves Daniel and hates this stratagem by which he has been condemned. All night long the king walks the floor. He can not sleep. At the least ‘sound he starts, and his flesh creeps with horror, He is impa- tient for the dawning of the morning, At the first streak of the daylight Da: rius hastens forth to see the fate of Daniel. ‘The heavy palace doors open and clang shut long before the people of the city waken. Darius goes to the den of lions. He looks in. All is silent. His heart stops. He feels that the very worst has happ-sed; but, gach. “Se all his strength, le shouts through ‘he rifts of the rock, “O Dan- fel, is thy God whom thou scrvest con tinvally able to deliver thee?” ‘There comes rolling up from the deep dark- ness a voice which says: "“O king, live forever. My God has sent his angel to shut the lions’ mouths that they have not hurt me.” ‘Then Daniel is brought out from the den. ‘The dema- gogues are hurled into It, and no soon- er have they struck the bottom of the den than their flesh was rent, and their bones cracked, and their’ jplood spurted through the rifts of the rock, and as the lions muke the rocks trem: ‘Mle with their roar they announce to all ages that while God will defend ‘his people the way of the ungodly shall perish, | Lear first from this subject that the greatest crime that you can com- mit in the eyes of many is the jerime of success. = What had Daniel done that he — should ‘be flung to the ons? He had become [prime infnister. ‘They could not for- give him for that, and behold in that ‘a touch of unsanctified human nature jas seen in all ages of the world. So long as you are pinched in poverty, so long as you are runuing the gauntlet between landlord and taxgatherer, so long as you find it bard work to edu- cate your children, there are people who will say: “Poor man. I am sorry for him. Te ought to succeed, poor man.” But after awhile the tide turns in his favor. ‘That was a profitable in- vestment you made. You bought just at the right tine. — Fortune becames good humored and smiles upon you. Now you are in some department suc- cessful, and your success chills xome one. Those men who used to sympa- thize with you stand along the street, and they scowl at you from under the tim of their hats.” Young merchants, young lawyers, young doctors, young mechanics, young artists, young farm: ers, at certain times there ire those to sympathize with you, but now that you are becoming a master of your partienlar occupation or profession, how Is it now, young lawyers, young doctors. young artists, young farmers —how is it now? The greatest crime that you can commit ix the crime of success. Again, my subject impresses me with the value of decision of character in any department. Daniel knew that if he continued his adherence to the religion of the Lord he would be hurled to the lions, but, haying set his compass well, he sailed right on. For the lack of that element of decision of character so eminent in Daniel many men are ruined for this world and ru- who starts to build a house in the Corinthian style and changes it tc Dorie, and then completes it in the Tonie, the curse of all styles of archi tecture. Young man, start right and keep on. Have decision of character. Character is like the goldfinch of Ton. quip. It is magnificent while stand. ing firm, but loses all its beauty. in flight. How much decision of charac ter in order that these young men may be Christians! ‘Thelr’ old associates make sarcastic fings at them, They go on excursions, and they do not in. vite them. They prophesy that he will give out. They wonder if he is not getting wings. As he passed they grimace and wink and chuckle and say “There goes @ saint.” O young man, have decision of character! You can afford in this matter of religion to be laughed at. What do you can for the scoffs of these men, who Are affronted because you will not go to ruin with them’ When the grave cracks open under their feet, and grim messengers push them Into it, and eternity comes down hard upon their spirit, and con- science ‘stings, and hopeless ruin lifts them up to hurl them down, will they laugh then? I learn also from my subject that men nay take religion Into thelr world- ly business, ‘This is a most appropriate thought at this season of the year, when so many men are starting out in new enterprises. Daniel had enough work to do to occupy six men. ‘All the affairs of state were in his hands; questions of finance, questions of war, of peace; all international questions were for his settlement or adjustment. He must have had a correspondence vast beyond all computation. ‘There was not a man in all the earth who had more to do than Daniel, the secre- tary of state, and yet we find him three times a day bowing before God in prayer. ‘There are men in our day who have not a hundredth part of Date iel's engagements who say they are too busy to be religious. ‘They have an idea somehow that religion will spoil their worldly occupation, that It will trip the accountant's pen or dull the carpenter's saw or confuse the lawyer's brief or disarrange the mer- chant’s store shelf, ‘They think relig- ion is impertinent. ‘They would like to have, it very well seated beside them in church on’ the Sabbath, to find the place in the psalmbook or to nudge them awake when they get sleepy une der the didactic discourse, or they would like to leave It in the pew on Sabbath evening as they go out, clos- ing the door, saying, “Good night, re- ligion: TM be back next Sunday!” But to have religion to go right along by them all through life, to have religion looking over their shoulder when they are making a bargain, to have relig- ion take wm a bag of dishonest gold and shake it and say. “Where did you get that?” ‘They think that is an im- pertinent religion. They would like to have a religion to help them when they are sick, and when the shadow of death comes over them they. would like to have religion as a sort of night- key with which to open the door of heaven, but religion under other cir- cun:stances they take to be imperti- nenee. Now, my friends, religion never robbed a man of ‘a dollar. Other things being equal, a mason will build a better wall, a cabinet maker will make a better chair, a plumber will make a better pipe, a merchant will sell a better bill of goods. I say, other things being equal. Of course’ when religion gives a man a new heart, it does not propose to give him a new heail or to intellectualize him or to change a man's condition when his or- dinary state isan overthrow of the philosophical theory that a total vacu- um fs impossible, but the more letters you have to write, the more burdens you have to carty, the more miles you have to travel. the more burdens you have to lift, the more engagements you have to meet, the more disputes you lave to settle, the more opportu- nity you have of being a Christian. If yout have a thousand irons in the fire, you have a thousand more opportuni- Hes of serving God than if you only had one iron in the fire. Who so busy as Christ.? And yet who a millionth part as holy? ‘Phe busiest men are the est men, Again [learn from this subject that A man may take religion into his poli- tics. Daniel had all the affairs of state in hand, yet was a servant of God. He could not have Kept his elevated posi- tion unless he had heen a thorough politician, and yet all the thrusts of officials and all the danger of disgrace aid not make him yield one iota of his high-toned religious principle. He stood before that age, he stands before all ages, a specimen of a godly politi- cian, So there have been in our day and in the days of our fathers men as eniinent In the service of God as in the time of your fathers. Such was John MeLean of the supreme court of the United States. Such was George Briggs of Massachusetts. Such was Theodore Frelinghuysen of New Jer- sey—men faithful to the state, at the same time faithfal to God. It is ab- surd to expect that men who have een immersed In political wickedness for thirty or forty years shall come to reforr:ation, and our hope is in the Young men who are coming up, that they have patriotic principle and tarry our religion into our politics. Bu: there are a great many men who arc in favor of talking religion into nation al politics, who do not see the impor tance of taking it into elty’ politics, as though a°man were intelligent about the weWare of his neighbor and had no concern about his own home. My subject also impresses me with the fact that lions can not hurt a good man, No man ever got into worse com- pany than Daniel got into when he was thrown into the den. What a rare morsel that fair young man would have been for the hungry mon- sters! If they had plunged at him, he could not have climbed into a niche beyond the reach of their paw or the snatch of their tooth. They came, pleased, all around about him, as hunters’ hounds at the well known whistle come bounding to his feet. You need not go to Numidia to get many lions. You alt have had them after yYou—the lion of financial distress, the lon of sickness, the lion of persecu- tion, You saw that lion of financial panic putting his mouth down to the earth, and ‘he roared until all the banks and all the insurance compa- nies quaked. With his nostril he scat- tered the ashes on the domestic hearth, You have had trial after trial, misfortune after misfortune, lion atter lion, and yet they have never hurt you if you put your trust in God, and they never will hurt you. They did net hurt. Daniel, and ‘they can not hurt you. The Persians used to think chat spring rain falling into sea-snells would turn into pearls, and I have to tell you that the tears of sorrow tarn into precious gems when they drop into God’s bottle. You need he afraid of nothing, putting your trust ia God. Even death, that monster lion whose den is the world’s sepulchre, and who puts his paw down amid thousands of millions of the dead, can not affright you. When in olden'thies a man was to get the honors of knighthood, he was compelled to go fully armed the night before among the tombs of the dead, carrying a sort of Spear, and then when the day broke, he would come forth, and, amid the sound of cornet and great parade, he wouid get the honors of knighthood. And so it will be with the Christian in the night before heaven, as, fully armed with spear and helmet of salvation, hie will wait and watch through the darkhess until the morning dawns, and then he will t2ke the honors of heaven amid that great throng with snowy rob-s, ea - seiner gemniMinrasten: Mrs. “Rut.” Mrs. “But” is our next-door nelgh- bor. Her real name is Green, but Jonas, whenever he sees ner marching up the walk, remarks, “My dear, here cames Mrs. “But” He is not given to calling people names; he says it merely to put me on my guard, for he knows our neighbor's failing. She is a bright, breezy little woman. and as long as the conversation is con- fined to the weather and household af- falrs I quite enjoy cbatting with her, but the moment that a human being, living or dead, chances to be men- tioned, I begin to quake. The first time she called—it was soon after we moved into the neigh- borhood—I happened to say that Mrs. Goodwin, from the opposite side of the street, had been im to see me, and that she Impressed me as a very lovely character. “Oh, she Is Indeed,” said Mrs. “But.” heartily, “she is such a devoted wife and so good to the poor. But,” she went on, lowering her voice. “there used to be a good deal of talk about her when she was a girl, and though I don’t suppose half the things that were said were true, people don’t seem to forget it.” What necessity there was for this @rop of poison to be instilled into my mind I could not see. Mrs. Goodwin's youth was in the far past, and in the gossip concerning her in that remote perfod I had no interest whatever. I Was quite willing to take her as she was in her sweet, ripe womanhood. One day when Mrs. “But” dropped in she found my little fiend, Nellie Gray, at the piano. Nell is a shy, brown-eyed girl of fifteen, gifted with @ wonderful ear for melody, and, a3 the Grays had no piano, I had offered her mine. “I can’t help loving the child, she is such a warm-hearted lit- tle ereature, and so eager for music,” I said, as the door closed behind her. My\visitor gave a searcely pereepti- ble shrug. “Yes, Nellie seems to be a very nice girl,” she admitted, “but 1 suppose you know that she is a poorhouse walt.” “No,” I sald. “1 knew nothing of the kind. Mrs, Gray had introduced Nellie to me as her eldest daughter, and the information volunteered by Mis. “But” was utterly unealled for.

McKINLEY RE-ELECTED WILL HAVE TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-FOUR VOTES IN ELECTORAL COLLEGE Indiana Gives a Republican Plurality of Over 30,000-New York Gives McKinley Over 100,000 Majority The Returns. The following table of the McKinley pluralities and electoral votes, compiled by the Indianapolis Journal from returns up to 7 o'clock Wednesday morning, is believed to be a conservative statement: States. Pluralities. Votes. California 10,000 9 Connecticut 23,000 -6 Delaware 2,500 3 Ethnols 75,000 24 Indiana 25,000 15 Iowa 100,000 13 Kansas 20,000 10 Maline 25,000 6 Maryland 10,000 8 Massachusetts 80,000 15 Michigan 80,000 14 Minnesota 60,000 9 New Hampshire 20,000 4 New Jersey 25,000 10 New York 135,000 36 North Dakota 12,000 3 Ohio 50,000 23 Oregon 10,000 4 Pennsylvania 200,000 32 Rhode Island 12,000 4 South Dakota 10,000 4 Utah 3 Vermont 30,000 4 Washington 8,000 4 West Virginia 8,000 6 Wisconsin 105,000 12 Wyoming 3,000 3 Total 234 Special dispatches to the Indianapolis Journal, based on the election returns, Wednesday morning, from 569 precincts complete, partial returns from several hundred others and careful estimates by county and district chairmen and party leaders thoroughly conversant with the situation, indicate that McKinley has carried Indiana by not less than 30,000. The Indianapolis Sentinel Wednesday morning says: The State is Republican, from present indications, by a large plurality. The returns were slow in coming in last night, and those which were first received were so meager as to leave the result in the State in doubt. Later returns were favorable to the Republicans, and judging from the returns received after midnight the State will give McKinley a majority of 25,000. New York, Nov. 6.—It became evident at a very early hour Tuesday evening that the election of McKinley and Roosevelt was assured. At half past 8 o'clock returns from nearly two-thirds of the election districts of Greater New York had been received, indicating beyond question that Bryan and Stevenson could not expect more than 25,000 or 30,000 plurality in this Democratic stronghold, and unless there was a landslide in the outside counties beyond all reasonable expectation, the pivotal State of New York had declared in unmistakable*terms, although by a greatly reduced majority, for the Republican candidates. New York, Nov. 6.—The following telegram was sent to W. J. Bryan at Lincoln: "As you no doubt already know, the State has gone heavily against us, but whereas this county in 1896 gave McKinley 23,000 majority it gives you today 33,000, a gain of 56,000. We are defeated but not discouraged. "RICHARD CROKER." Columbus, O., Nov. 6.—McKinley has carried his own State without doubt by an increased plurality, but at midnight it is impossible to give the figures, owing to the unusually meager returns received. The Democrats have gained about 3,000 in Cleveland and as much in Cincinnati, and less in some other cities. The Republicans have gained in the rural districts and in this city, in Canton, in Aykron, the home of Chairman Dick, and a few other cities. Democratic State Chairman Long concedes the State to the Republicans and expects a gain of one Congressman. Omaha, Neb., Nov. 6. -At midnight 2:20 predicts out of 1,611 in the State had returned results of to-day's election, thirty of these being from Omaha and Douglass county. A majority of them give Republican gains, which, if they hold good throughout the State, would indicate a Republican plurality of from 2,000 to 5,000. However, the fusionists say these returns are not significant of the real results, that the outlying districts will overcome these gains and give the State to Bryan by from 5,000 to 8,000. Chicago, Nov. 7, 3 a.m. - Complete returns from fifteen counties in the State and partial returns from the others, including the full vote of Chicago, in Cook county, indicate a plurality for William McKinley that will probably exceed 90,000. Chairman Watson, of the Democratic State central committee, at that hour conceded the State to McKinley by 50,000. Returns also indicate the election of the full Republican State ticket by majorities considerably under the presidential figures. Louisville, Ky., Nov. 6.—At midnight the result of the election in Kentucky was in doubt, with both sides claiming the State and presidential tickets. The Democrats may be considered to have a trite the better of the argument. Ex-Governor J. B. McCreary, chairman of the Democratic State campaign committee, said: "Bryan and Beckham have carried Kentucky by safe majorities. The Democrats have elected nine out of eleven Congressmen, including Gilbert of the Eighth, Kehoe of the Ninth, and Rhea of the Third district." INDIANA NEW YORK. OHIO NEBRASKA ILLINOIS KENTUCKY. Stoux Falls, S. D., Nov. 6.—No doubt remains that the Republicans have won a complete victory in South Dakota. Returns received at fusion and Republican State headquarters show Republican gains in this city in every precinct reporting. Frank Crane, cha:man of the Republican State committee, who has persistently refused to be quoted during the present campaign on the probable outcome of the election, at midnight said: "We have secured sufficient returns from the counties to conclusively show that we have carried the State for McKinley by a plurality of from 10,000 to 12,000 and that we have elected our two nominees for Congress and our entire State ticket. We will have a majority of forty on joint bailout in the Legislature, insuring the election of a Republican to succeed Senator Pettigrew." Baltimore, Nov. 6.—President McKinley carries Baltimore city by a majority of 6,995. The returns from the country are meager, but official advices from eighty-one scattered precincts out of 354 give him 18,285 as against 16,197 for Bryan, thus assuring him a majority of at least 10,600 in the State. The defeat of the Democrats has been thorough and surprising, it being certain that they have lost five out of the six Congressmen, with the probabilities in favor of a clean sweep by the loss of the other. PENNSYLVANIA. Philadelphia, Nov. 6.—Estimate from ten of the sixty-seven counties of Pennsylvania show a slight gain for Bryan, as compared with 1886, when McKinley's plurality in the state was 335,072. New Haven, Conn., Nov. 6.—Connecticut decided to-day that her electoral vote of six should be placed to the McKinley column; the entire Republican State ticket was handsomely indorsed, the four Congressmen were re-elected, and a General Assembly overwhelming Republican was chosen. The plurality for McKinley, with practically all of the returns in, is fixed at about 23,000. Boston, Mass., Nov. 6.—President McKinley has carried Massachusetts by about 80,000 plurality, a reduction of nearly 100,000 from that of four years ago. The Republicans have elected possibly eleven of the Congressmen, a few by an increased plurality over 1996, but in the majority of the districts the candidates ran behind those of four years ago. Concord, N. H., Nov. 6.-Secretary Thos. H. Madigan, jr., of the Democratic State committee, concedes that the Republicans have carried the State by a plurality of 15,000. He places the plurality of that party in the Second congressional district at 8,000. St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 6.-At midnight the result of the election in Minnesota was settled, so far as the presidential vote is concerned, but the figures on the head of the State ticket are still too meager to make any final statement possible. McKinley presidential electors have carried the State by over 60,000 plurality, some estimates and claims going far beyond that figure. The incomplete reports thus far received up to midnight seem to indicate that Van Sant, Republican, may have carried the State by a small figure, but the Democrats are claiming the election of Lind, fusion, by over 25,000 plurality, while the Republican managers will give no figures, although not admitting the election of Lind. San Francisco, Nov. 6. While the returns from the State at large and the city are very incomplete, enough are at hand to warrant the prediction that McKinley has carried California by a plurality of 10,000. McKinley's plurality in this city will probably reach 7,000. Detroit, Mich. Nov. 6.—There has been a veritable Republican landslide in Michigan to-day, and President McKinley . . . carried the State by a majority variously estimated from 75,000 to 100,000. Des Moines, Ia., Nov. 7—At 1:30 a.m., m. it is apparent that Iowa is Republican by 100,000, and a solid delegation of eleven Republicans will be sent to Washington. Because of the late closing of the polls all over the State—7 o'clock—but 523 out of 2,137 precincts in the State have been heard from. These give McKinley 299,707 and Bryan 205,482, a net Republican gain of 20 to a precinct. If this ratio is maintained, and there is little doubt it will be McKinley's plurality will be 164,000, the largest on record in the State. In 1896 McKinley's plurality in Iowa was 65,532. Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 6-At midnight the returns indicate a falling off of 29,000 to +0,000 votes in the State, about equally divided among the two parties, many negroes, especially in cities, remaining away from the polls. Bryan's plurality in the State will fail short of that of Governor McMillin by 3,000 or 4,000 votes. McMillin being re-elected by from 12,000 to 15,000. GEORGIA. Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 6.—Bryan's majority in Georgia will be required of 40,000, which is 28,000 less than that given Governor Candler one month ago. The major for SOUTH DAKOTA MARYLAND. PENNSYLVANIA CONNECTICUT MASSACHUSETTS NEW HAMPSHIRE MINNESOTA CALIFORNIA MICHIGAN TENNESSEE THE RECORDER, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA Bryan shows an apparent increase over that four years ago of about 4,000. But little interest was manifested and a very light vote was polled. The Georgia delegation to Washington remains solidly Democratic. MAINE Portland, Me., Nov. 6. All through the State, according to reports at hand to-night, there was considerable falling off in the Republican plurality from four years ago, and a corresponding gain in the Democratic column. Up to midnight returns had been received from about 210 cities, towns and plantations in the State showing a Republican plurality of 18,431 as against 21,983 for the same towns in 1896. VERMONT. White River Junction, Vt., Nov. 7.—At 1:45 a.m. m. returns had been received from all but sixty-three towns in the State, mostly small agricultural places. Those will probably give additions to the Republican majority. From the towns which returns have been made at this hour Bryan received 11,601 and McKinley 33,795. This will give a Republican plurality estimated at 30,000. WISCONSIN La Crosse, Wis., Nov. 6.—The Republican State central committee claims the State by 100,000. Democratic Chairman Warden concedes that McKinley will carry the State by 40,000, but claims that Bohrmich, Democratic candidate for Governor, will carry State by 10,000. NORTH CAROLINA Raleigh, N. C., Nov. 6. —The election in North Carolina was very quiet. Returns indicate that Bryan's majority will not be less than 30,000. Seven Democratic congressmen are elected, with two in doubt, the Eighth and Ninth districts. NORTH DAKOTA Fargo, N. D., Nov. 6.—Returns are coming very slowly, but earlier figures of 20,000 for McKinley and 10,000 for the Republican State ticket, including Congressmen, are very nearly correct, with the possible exception of Attorney-General, for which office the Fusionists claim the election of John Carmody. Ninety-seven precincts give McKinley a majority of 2,814, against the majority of 1896 of 1,784. DELAWARE Wilmington, Del., Nov. 6.—The count is so close in Kent and Sussex counties that detailed results of the legislative elections there can not be given, but the Democrats say nothing has transpired to destroy their confidence in the election of a Democratic Legislature. It will probably be 10 o'clock in the morning before the result can be definitely announced. McKinley's plurality in the State may reach 2,500. ARKANSAS. Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 6. At 11:30 tonight, the returns show a little falling off in the vote in the large counties which may reduce Bryan's majority to 50,000. In the cities Bryan runs a trifle behind the Democratic nominees for Congress. A very small vote was received by the Populist electors, and the Prohibition vote in the State will not exceed 1,000. COLORADO. Denver, Col., Nov. 7. -Returns received up to 4 a. m. indicate that Bryan has carried Colorado by 35,000 plurality, at least. This is over 100,000 less than in 1896. The Fusionists' State ticket is elected by between 25,000 and 30,000, a reduction of nearly half of the vote for Governor two years ago. The leaders of the Fusionists will concede but twelve of the legislative ticket to the Republicans, which, if correct, will eliminate Senator E. O. Wolcott from the race. TEXAS Houston, Tex., Nov. 6.—The Democratic State ticket, headed by Joseph D. Sayers for Governor, is elected by a majority in excess of 100,000. The Legislature is almost solidly Democratic. It will elect Joseph W. Bailey United States Senator to succeed Horace Chilton. It is estimated that the majority of the State electors will not fall short of 175,000, and may go beyond that figure. FLORIDA Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 6. At midnight the result in Florida can be summarized as follows: Bryan's majority over McKinley is 22,000. Jennings, Democrat, for Governor, is elected by 21,000 majority. The State Legislature is unanimously Democratic. WEST VIRGINIA Parkersburg, W. Va., Nov. 8.—Republican State committee says partial return from three counties show a gain of 5,000 for McKinley over 1896. Chairman Dawson, State Republican committeeman, claims the State for McKinley by 17,000 plurality. NEVADA Reno, Nev. Nov. 6.—Present indications point to Bryan by anywhere between 500 and 1,000, and Newlands, Democrat, for Congress, by about 500. Legislative ticket not yet canvassed. LOUISIANA New Orleans, La., Nov. 6 - Bryan's major in the city will be about 12,000 and in the city will be about 12,000 and in the State 30,000. All the Democratic nominees for Congress in Louisiana are elected. KANSAS Topeka, Kan. Nov. 6.-Based on scattering returns so far received, Republicans claim a plurality of 3,000 for McKinley in this city and county. VIRGINIA Richmond, Va., Nov. 6. -Virginia is safe for Bryan by a good majority. Voted For In So-Called District of Lake Michigan. Chicago special: An election was held Tuesday in the so-called district of Lake Michigan, a portion of the lake front claimed by Capt. George W. Streeter, over which there has been much contention with the city authorities. Streeter was elected district representative by his followers, and declares that on March 4 he will go before the committee on privileges and elections in the national House of Representatives and that he will endeavor to be seated as the legitimate representative of the district in Congress. LURED TO AN AMBUSH A NATIVE ORCHESTRA USED TO BETRAY OUR TROOPS. Continued Activity of Insurgents—Many Ex-Insurgents Sign an Expression of Loyalty—Native Store Destroyed. Manila cable: Last week was devoted to active scouting. The insurgents, having failed to crush a single garrison, are now experiencing a reaction. Lieutenants Wilson and Dorrity, of the Forty-fifth Volunteer Infantry, destroyed large stores of rice, four granaries and a barracks near Bato. Captain Atkinson, with thirty-four men of the Thirty-seventh Volunteer Infantry, attacked 190 insurgents under Colonel Valencia, recovering two American prisoners and capturing a considerable quantity of ammunition and supplies. A native orchestra lured the United States troops from their quarters near Dagupan, while the insurgents attacked the rear, killing two Americans and wounding three. Sunday Senor Benucamino, representing the principal ex-insurgents in Manila, requested Judge Taft to forward to Washington a signed expression of their loyalty. TOD SLOAN TURNED DOWN. The Prince of Wales Dismisses the Famous American Jockey Because of Popular Clamor. London cable: The Prince of Wales' dismissal of "Tod" Sloan is received with joy by the racing world of England as a significant indication of the feeling against American jockeys and trainers. The Prince of Wales yielded to the popular clamor. While the methods and manners of a number of self-advertising American owners have undoubtedly given the jockey club an excuse for its present attitude, there is little doubt that jealousy of the continued American success had more than anything else to do with the matter. There are many indications, too, that the campaign against the American horsemen was not undertaken without plenty of premeditation. This is evidenced by the sporting columns of almost every daily paper in England and many of the best weekiles, who are reveling in the chance of a slur at American jockeys. Truth can not find words of vituperation enough wherewith to denounce Sloan and all others it can reach. But the greatest glee of all prevails in the London sporting clubs and cafes, where the English turf gamblers assemble to settle betting here. The gamblers who for years have had the English turf by the throat, and who finally found all their calculations smashed by the American successes, hope to be able to resume their trade. Sloan is much chagrined. His retainer was to have been £5,000. He had other offers of like amount, but now the Prince of Wales has thrown him over, no English owner is likely to employ him as first jockey. Sloan returns to the United States November 14, but the story that he does not intend to apply for a license here in 1901 is regarded as being at least premature. A LINER INJURED Great Atlantic Steamer St. Paul Strikes a Derrell With Disastrous Results. New York special: The American line steamer St. Paul limped into port Sunday morning under her port engine, after having incurred the most serious experience of her career. On Oct. 31 the St. Paul struck a submerged wreck, carrying away the starboard propeller, causing the engines to race so fiercely that the shaft broke and all connections snapped. The starboard engines were so severely wrecked that they are useless and it will take six months to replace them with a new set. The after outboard shaft tubing was carried away. The ship is leaking considerably. The St. Paul left Southampton and Cherbourg Oct. 27, with a full cargo, 310 cabin passengers and 245 in the steerage. About 8 o'clock on the evening of Wednesday last, while some of the saloon passengers were still at dinner and other passengers promenading, a sudden shock was felt all over the ship, although it was not sufficiently severe to cause a panic. The engines were stopped in a few seconds after the shock, but it is said that during that brief time the whirling machinery, free of the weight of the propeller, wrought havoc in the engine room, which the officials of the steamship refused to allow anyone to enter. FOR NEW R AILROADS IN CHINA. Wu Ting Fang Seeks Data in Pittsburgh on Improvements Contemplated. Pittsburg, Pa., special: Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese minister at Washington, Saturday afternoon inspected the Carnegie armor-plate and other mills and was the guest of honor at a dinner given by the Carnegie Steel Company. While at dinner he said he came to Pittsburgh to get data for the chief engineer of the Chinese empire, who contemplates large improvements on railroads and other industries. He asked for data from the Westinghouse people on railroad brakes. He said the Chinese empire was going to rebuild railroads and wanted some new improvements. He thought he could get lots of them from Pittsburg. "Of course, it does not mean that you will get any orders," he said, "because in all probability we can find somebody else who can do the work better and cheaper." Student Accidentally Killed Jackson, Tenn. special: Laster Parrot, a student of the Southwestern Baptist University, of this city, was killed Sunday evening on the Illinois Central railroad while en route to his home near Paducah, Ky. He was passing from one car to another while the train was running and fell between the cars and was trussed to death. BRISK FIGHTING IN CHINA. Anglo-German Force Storms the Tsching Kung Pass. London cable: The Pall Mall Gazette Sunday afternoon publishes a dispatch from Ichow, dated October 28, which says heavy fighting has occurred in the mountains on the Shansi frontier. An Anglo-German force of 1,500 men, commanded by Col. von Norman, stormed the Tsching Kung Pass. The Chinese occupied a strong position on the crest and stubbornly resisted. They poured a hot enflashing fire on the advance party of eighty Germans, under Major von Forresteer, but the British Bengal Cavalry and mounted sappers, dismounted, scaled the heights, turned the enemy's flanks and relieved the Germans. The following dispatch has been received from Gen. Horne Campbell by the Secretary of State for India, Lord George Hamilton: "Arrived at Ronchu on October 31 from Pao Ting Fu. Took a circuitous course, destroying four large Boxer intrenchments and a large amount of arms and ammunition. Captured a large number of mules. "Col. Retallick, commanding the river column, captured nine armed junks at Bao Ple Kou." BOERS REDIVIVIUS BOERS REDIVIVIUS STARTLING ACTIVITY OF BUR-GHER FORCES. Lord Roberts Reports Eight Fights at Different Points—The British Forces Constantly Harrassed. London cable: Lord Roberts, in a dispatch from Johannesburg, dated Nov. 2, reports no less than eight fights at different points, all unimportant but significant of the activity of the Boers. London cable: The striking, revival of the Boer war is well timed with President Kruger's arrival in Europe. The position in South Africa of the British forces is decidedly worse than when they first occupied Pretoria in June. The fact that the Boers no longer have an important fixed position to be attacked has left them free to indulge in the ubiquitous, roving warfare which they are prosecuting with such extraordinary success. The British no longer have any definite objective for heavy operations and are as far as ever from acquiring equal nimbleness with the Boers at scattered fighting. The burghers are now masters of the country in the western Transvaal around Vryburg. They also hold all the keys to the Southern Free State, and have repeatedly held the main railway from Pretoria to Capa Town, above the Orange river. They have held up four trains there this week and have taken supplies. They have also compelled the small British garrisons at Reddersburg and Ventersburg to surrender. They took the arms and supplies, but liberated those who surrendered, not wishing to have them to feed. This unbroken list of successes has had a natural sequel in increasing the activity of all the commandos. The net result is that Generals Botha, Dew and Delarey were all as strong as they were four months ago. When supplies are short they swoop down on some village which the British hold and which they know is well filled and help themselves, leaving checks on the Transvaal or the Free State government. The unreconcilable bitterness of the Boer women is extraordinary. Everything is drifting into an impracticable war race, involving everybody living in the country. When President Kruger sailed from Delagoa bay it was immediately declared that he was a mere private, harmless refuge, embarrassing only to the country which he visited. It is impossible to maintain that belief now. He is at Dae marseilles on November 10, and unless the Boer activity is materially suppressed within the week, which is not to be expected, it is seriously possible that some power may seek to advise England to arrange a settlement. that that advice will be rejected is certain, but the offering of it will continue the Boer belief that their struggle for independence is not hopeless yet. Meanwhile the Uttlanders are becoming a menace to the British authorities. Sir Alfred Milner, by refusing to allow passes for any poor Jews to return to Johannesburg, has made an occasion for agitation, the Uttlanders accusing him of a scheme to plant the Transvaal with British families to the exclusion of its previous foreign population. His dislike for the Polish and Austrian Jews is extreme and unconcealed. Fortunately for him, they never fight, but the wealthier men of their race are encouraging them openly in intriguing against Milner's authority. The mining magnates are uneasy over the statement that the cost of the war is be paid by assessment, the imperial exchequer paying only the cost of defending the colonial frontiers. FIGHT ON LACE-MAKERS Labor Organizations Propose to Oppos Dowle's Importations. New York special: Instructions have been received at the barge office to detain Zionite Dowie and twenty-five lace makers under his charge as soon as they land on American soil. The labor organizations have already intimated that they will fight the admission of workmen to the last ditch, while the Treasury Department has given Dowie a provisional promise to admit them. Before Dowie left for the other side he called at the Treasury Department in Washington and told the officials that he wished to inaugurate the industry of Nottingham lacemaking in this country. No workmen able to make this kind of lace were in the country, he assured the officials, and he painted a glowing picture of a great industry springing up from the few lacemakers as intended to hire in Europe. He was told that if there were none of the guild he spoke of in the United States he would have no trouble in landing them. Now the labor unions claim that there are lacemakers in plenty right here who can make just as good lace as Dowie's coming men. General Leonard Wood, commander of the Department of Cuba, and Lieutenant McCoy, of his personal staff, sailed from Miami, Fla., Thursday for Havana. The limited train on the St. Paul & Duluth road ran into an open switch, near Hinckley, Minn., and the engine and two cars were derailed. Brakeman William Rapp, of St. Paul was killed. General William Booth, commander-in-chief of the Salvation Army, is coming to New York next September to take practically the control of the Salvation Army in the United States for at least six months. It is announced that prices of anthracite coal have been advanced 50 cents a ton over the nominal price of the July circular by the anthracite mining and carrying companies. The change covers the whole country. Colonel William L. Haskin, of the Second United States Artillery, stationed near Havana, Cuba, is suffering, it is reported, from yellow fever, in a light form. Two privates of the regiment have also been attacked. The Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce has voted not to join with the Chicago Board of Trade in the proposed New Exchange Telephone Company, which would erect wires and connect all the important exchanges. The body of Wray Torrney Carr, drowned in Lake Washington, near Seattle, Sunday, while duck hunting, has been recovered. The body of his companion, Clark C. Carr, Galesburg, Ill., has not yet been found. The United States transport Sherman sailed from San Francisco Thursday for Manila, via Honolulu, with about 260 soldiers and a large number of cabin passengers, mostly wives and children of officers stationed in the Philippines. The residence of the Rev. J. B. Wheatley, at Wheatley, Ky., was burned Thursday. Mrs. Wheatley's aged mother, Mrs. A. J. Alexander, perished, and Mr. and Mrs. Wheatley, were seriously injured while escaping from the burning building. As a result of a Halloween prank two men were shot at Shelby, O., and both may die. Floyd Armstrong and Mo's Brower placed cannon crackers in the spouting at Roscoe McCormick's house. McCormick fired both barrels of a shotgun with deadly effect. Reports from northern and north central Texas, show Tuesday night's storm to have been very destructive. Houses were wrecked in Kaufman, Ellis, Hill, Collin and Grayson counties. Three persons killed and several seriously injured. Craps suffered severely. MEXICO PLANS DEFENSES To Fortify All Gulf and Pacific Harbors and Create a Navy. Monterey, Mexico, special: Secretary of War Bernardo Beyes will soon lay before the Mexican Congress plans for extensive coast defenses, the construction of which will require the expenditure of a vast amount of money. These plans include strong harbor defense works at the mouth of the Río Grande, Tampico, Tuxpan, Vera Cruz, Propreso and Coatsacoalco, all on the gulf coast, and at Saline Cruz, Acapulco, Mazatlan, Manzanillo, Port Stilwell and Guaymas on the Pacific coast. While the details of the plans are not yet known, it is reported that they will carry with them the recommendation for a large increased standing army and the creation of a navy. IMPORTANT DECISION Railways Responsible for Safety of Passengers While In Stations. Chicago special: According to a decision handed down by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals in the case of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad Company against Nancy A. Woods, railroads are responsible for the safety of their passengers while in their stations for a reasonable time after descending from trains, and the relations of carrier and passenger continue until a passenger quits the station or depot. Suit was brought by Mrs. Wood in the lower United States court to recover damages for bodily injuries she received while in a railroad station belonging to the Rock Island, just after leaving a train. She won the suit in the lower court and an appeal was taken on a writ of error. ALMOST EVERY MINER AT WORK The Great Anthracite Strike Appears to be Wholly Over. Hazleton, Pa., special: The strike of the anthracite mines can be said to be a thing of the past. Nearly every man who went out was at work Saturday, and in many mines enough coal was mined to warrant the starting of the breakers. The outbreak at Cranberry is settled, and at Milnerville, where it was expected there would be a long fight, an agreement was reached and the strippings are being worked. It is not likely that President Mitchell will return to Hazleton. Young Negro Lynched Birmingham, Ala., special: At Duke, on the Louisville & Nashville railroad, sixteen miles north of Aniston, an eight-year-old negro youth, named Amernathy, attempted a criminal assault on the fourteen-year-old daughter of W. N. Thompson, a section foreman on the Louisville & Nashville road. The negro was captured three hours after the attempt and was identified and lynched. # INDIANAPOLIS.

STEWART, Publisher SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1900 VICTORY! The American voter has concluded to let well enough alone. Hnrrah for the old flag and McKinley. The "second battle has been fought, and Mr. Bryan is yet a young man. The American voter has expressed his sentiments in no uncertain tone this time. Rryan said he stood on the silver question, exactly where he stood four years ago. The country stands ditto. Out of the 200 Afro-American newspapers in the country, but six supported the Democratic ticket. The young man, Absoqum has been tried and found wanting. Bryanism; Crokerism, Taggartism and a few other "isms" have been justly repudiated. 'The Negro vote is a purchasable or ee--Senitor Tillman. We have heard a large number of omission and commission charged against the colored man but it's first time that the race has ever been accused of possessing that commercialism that has made Croker a rich man. Well, whether it be true or untrue there's consultation in the fact that the Democrats money must have given out, as the colored vote remained true to the party of Lincoln. There has been a time in the history of the colored mah, when money would not purchase liberty, The Negro has forgiven but cannot forget. One of the gratifying signs of the time is the commercial aggressiveness of the Afro-American. On every side we hear favorable comment on the large number of Negro business enterprises and if this is gratifying to the white race why should it not be doubly so to us. Aside from the higher rating which is given the race there are many minor features that are pleasant to behold if not so remunerative. Such as the employing of our boys and girls the pride and satisfaction of having the opportunity to spend your money within the race, the business know- ```markdown ``` "I know nothing about other states, but I acknowledge openly and boldly in the sight of God that we did our level best to keep every negro in our state from voting."

We know nothing about other states, but we are positive that the Afro-American voters of Indiana did their level best to throttle Tillmanism and to teach the Democratic party that, men and measures of that stripe are dangerous, not only to any organization but to the country at large. edge that is gained, and above all, the knowledge that the success of the colored man in business helps you to a certain extent. REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE. WESTERN HEADQUARTERS. Chicago, Ill., day after election. Geo. P. Stewart, Editor, Indianaapolis, Ind. Dear Friend: A traveler returning from Siberia says: "The prisoners are not chained. They eat at the same table with their guards. The government provides a pension of $6 a month to the family of each prisoner. At the expiration of his sentence the prisoner can take up his home in Siberia and the government will assist him. It allows him a home and implements with which to work." An English school board has prepared a circular on the evils of cigarette smoking, which is to be distributed among the parents of the school children. It points out that smoking by It's all over now. The most roaring force, the most exuberant display of idiocy, the grandest exhibit of ignorance, fraud and impudence that was ever paraded before, the astonished gaze of the world has at last come to an end and the political bunco man, false prophet, charlatan, humbug and fakir, has beeu retired to the background. The old flag still waves in triumph The country is safe. We are redeemed. Bryan and Anarchy are defeated and all classes can breath free again. What fearful disasters we have escaped! A debased currency; a dishonest country; poverty and misery for the poor; discouragement and disaster for the well-to-do in life. The strong common sense of the common people has averted the calamity. While many were deceived and misled, the great body was open to reason, saw the danger to our country and benign institutions and built up an impregnable citadel with their votes against the enemies of liberty, law and order, honest money and the honor of business men. With their votes, they smashed the most dangerous conspiracy since the overthrow of the slaveholders' rebellion. Popocracy, Rotteneggeracy, Mobocracy, Bryan, Debbs, Altgeld, Croker, Waite, Céchran, Coxey, Jones and Tillman-omnis (The curtain falls). You have been one of the important factors in producing the good results. Accept conglutations. Yours faithfully, C F. Adams, Member National Advisory Committee. THE STATE TICKET.

A recent issue of The Transvaal Critic contained this suggestive bit of news: "The man Uys who thrashed two native servant girls to death in the Wakkerstroom district some months ago has sentenced to two years' hard labor. Mild as the sentence will appear to those who correctly estimate the value of human life, it has astounded the relatives and friends of the accused. It says a good deal for the jury that they did not decide on an acquittal, seeing that the state attorney stated in the rand not long ago that to thrash a native servant to death was not a dishonoring crime." Not a High Motive. The latest explanation of Bryan's advocacy of ratification of the treaty of peace with Spain is that he did so merely for the sake of scoring a political point and securing campaign material. No one ever credited him with higher motives—New York Tribune. --- +HE RECORDER, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA A traveler returning from Siberia says: "The prisoners are not chained. They eat at the same table with their guards. The government provides a pension of $a month to the family of each prisoner. At the expiration of his sentence the prisoner can take up his home in Siberia and the government will assist him. It allows him a home and implements with which to work." An English school board has prepared a circular on the evils of cigarette smoking, which is to be distributed among the parents of the school children. It points out that smoking by boys impairs the eyesight, upsets the nerves, disturbs the digestive organs and stunts growth. Local doctors are to be asked to go to the schools and address the boys on the evils of smoking. Choate and the Baby. Joseph H. Choate, American embassador to Great Britain, recently delivered an address on the occasion of the opening of a free library at Acton. In one of the back seats was a woman with a baby which persisted in distracting the attention of the audience by making its voice heard at the most inconvenient moments. The first interruption occurred early in the speech. Mr. Choate was saying. "There is a special provision for children in your library, and I think when men come to make a choice of a residence in Acton they will not forget that fact." Here the baby screamed in such a manner as to drown the words of the speaker. There was some disturbance, but Mr. Choate said: "Don't be disturbed by the baby. Nobody knows better than my lord bishop (who presided) that out of the mouths of babes and sucklings cometh wisdom." Things went fairly well after this, the baby appearing to be flattered by the reference, until Mr. Choate was saying. "There is a book with which all of you"—Here the baby wailed loudly. "Except, possibly the baby—are familiar," the embassador went on; "it is 'Ecclesiastes', and it says that of the making of books there is no end." Traits of the Khedive. Abbas II, the khedive of Egypt, who is visiting in England, is a splendid linguist, speaking English, French, German and Italian, in addition to Turkish and Arabic. The khedive is a hard worker, and his day usually begins at 5:30 in the morning. A story is rold which illustrates this side of his character. His brother, Mehemet Ali, and himself had the same tutor in their childhood, but Prince Mehemet was indolent. A task was set them, but the younger brother shirked it. "Come, prince," said the teacher; "it must be done." "Prince, indeed!" exclaimed Abbas. "My brother is no prince when idle; he is only a fellah!"—New York Tribune. Painted English Women. A woman who has just returned from London has not yet recovered from her astonishment at the extent to which English women are using paint. "I had heard so much of the beautiful English complexions," she says in the New York Sun, "that I was not prepared for the shock, and it was not easy to understand why the women used paint, for they seemed in reality to have very little need of it. The women I saw in the streets, the shops and the art galleries seemed to be entirely without it. They all had the high color I thought a peculiarity of the race and had no apparent need of paint. They had too much color for beauty according to my ideas, unless one accepted them as the out and out dairymaid type, and there was scarcely one of them who did not look as if she would be improved by the judicious use of a powder puff. They were free from cosmetics of any kind, however, and seemed natural. It was among the smart set of women that the use of paint seemed rampant. I say rampant because most of it looked as if it had been put on for its own sake and not as an aid to beauty. At the opera there was scarcely a woman to be seen who had not applied rouge with a liberality that suggested that she had taken into consideration the size of the building and wanted her cheeks to look as red from the box opposite her as to the persons seated with her. And the strangest thing about their cosmetics was that most of them would have looked better without them." "I am so glad, Harold, that you married me for my money." "What do you mean by that, Bella?" "Because you are going to be so beautifully left. Papa has failed"—Chicago Tribune. "It's pretty hard to tell what her rings are made of."—Chicago Times Herald.

Boston's tax collector reports $563. 422 of old and uncollectible accounts. The surplus of births over deaths in Switzerland amounted last year to 384,619. The demand for old, high back mahogany chairs with claw feet is now large. The 33 largest towns of England and Wales have a total population of nearly 12,000,000. The Bible was the best selling book of the past year. The American Bible society put out 1,400,801 copies. The German Shakespeare society offers a prize of $200 for an essay on Shakespeare's knowledge of literature. Cigarettes are smoked almost exclusively in Germany, Austria, Russia and Greece and generally throughout Europe. The city of Cleveland is the first to create a department whose sole object is the abatement of the smoke nuisance. A recent test of the salt water fire service of Boston gave abundant satisfaction. Fitted with the modern accessories it is no longer an experiment. The government stopped colling the old style of silver dollars and coined the first Bland dollar in 1878. The old style dollars are not available for public use. The enlarged use of crown fillings or complete gold teeth that has been developed in the last ten years has taken from our gold supply a very large quantity of the metal. The orange expert estimates Florida's orange crop for the season of 1900 1901_at 1,000,000 boxes. The average price for the coming season is approximated at $2 per box on the trees. The pie bakers of New York attribute the great demand lately for their product to a disappearance of the belief that pies are indigestible. Even athletes now eat pies in training. Half a century ago Belgium was scarcely known. Today its products and manufactures are in the markets of every known corner of the globe, and it ranks as the seventh industrial country of the world. Few houses in Uruguay are provided with stoves for heating purposes. No chimneys or fireplaces are provided as a rule, one house recently built at a cost of $14,000 having for its chimney a stovepipe from the kitchen. In many lines of trade there are practically no jobbing houses in Germany, and retailers obtain their supplies directly from the manufacturers, who employ traveling salesmen and give to their customers liberal discounts and credits. Scarcity of hemlock bark is reported to have caused the almost total extinction of the once prosperous tanning industry in Maine. Though there is a large growth of hemlock in the state it is so far from practicable tannery sites that the cost of hauling prohibits its use. Soda water fountains are unknown in Bahia, Brazil, ice cream is a luxury very seldom indulged in, and even when used it is always made to order, while the little water ice used by the whole city would not consume anywhere near 100 pounds of ice a day is its manufacture. The latest story of the intelligence of pet cats comes from London. Mme. Portier, who owns the champion Blue Boy, tells an incident which happened recently and which, if true, undoubtedly places her pet cat in the front rank for intelligence. While in Liverpool a short time ago she had occasion to speak to her sister in London through the telephone. Blue Boy heard her voice, recognized it and became most excited. She addressed him personally, and from that moment until her return he stuck close to the instrument. The Supreme Court. The United States supreme court, on adjournment recently for the summer, left 304 cases undisposed of on its docket. The same number were left undisposed of on its adjournment for the summer last year. Three hundred and seventy new cases were all dung during the term now finished, and in exactly the same number of cases the court heard arguments or accepted briefs. Glass Refuse Pavement. In Geneva glass refuse is pressed in paving blocks under a new invention that has recently been put into operation. Several streets have already been paved with this new contrivance, and it gives great satisfaction, not only in appearance, but also in durability. Several other cities in Europe have adopted the invention.

WEMYSS General Immigration and Industrial Agent, Louisville, Ky. BROKEN BRIC-A BRACS Mr. Major, the famous cement man. If New York, explains some very interesting facts about Major's Cement. The multitudes who use this standard article know that it is many hundred per cent, better than other cements for which similar claims are made, but a great many do not know the reason why. The simple reason is that Mr. Major uses the best materials ever discovered and other manufacturers do not use them, because they are too expensive and do not allow large profits. Mr. Major tells us that one of the elements of his cement costs $3.75 a pound and another costs $2.65 a gallon, while a large share of the so-called cements and liquid glue upon the market are nothing more than six teen-cent glue, dissolved in water or citric acid, and in some cases altered slightly in color and odor by the addition of cheap and useless materials. Major's cement retains at fifteen cents and twenty-five cents a bottle, and when a dealer tries to sell a substitute you can depend upon it that his only object is to make larger profit Insist on having Major's. Don't accept any offhand advice from a druggist. If you are at all handy (and you will be likely to find that you are a good deal more so than you imagine) you can repair your rubber boots and family shoes, and any other rubber and leather articles, with Major's Rubber Cement and Major's Leather Cement.

The Senior Bereau Lesson for Sunday, November 11, 1900. THE RICH MAN AND LAZARUS.— Luke 16: 19-31. 19. There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day; 20. And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, rull or sores. 21. And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table; moreover the dogs came and hicked his sores. 22. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom; the rich man also died, and was buried: 23. And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham, afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. 27. Then he said, I pray thee, therefore, father, that thou wouldst send him to my father's house: 28. For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 30. And he said, Nay, Father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31. And he said unto him. If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. LIGHT ON THE TENT Connection.—We are still in the same place, and with the same audience, and on the same general subject. The Two Lessons.—In our last lesson we saw how to make this world a means of higher blessedness in the everlasting habitations. In this lesson we see the eternal loss from a misuse of this world and its good things. 19. Purple—A woolen robe, or outer garment, dyed in the costly Tyrian purple. Such as was worn by kings and princes. Fine linen. The under garment, or tunic, made of fine, soft, brilliantly white linen of Egypt, sometimes sold for more than its weight in gold. Fared sumptuously—Had splendid dinners and lived on the richest valleys. 21. The dogs came—The wild, untamed dogs of the East licked his sores. Even these seemed more tender-hearted than Dives. 22. The beggar died—He had no funeral pomp in this world, but his soul was cared for by the angels. Abraham's bosom—Abraham is pictured at the head of the table, and Lazarus next to him, as John was lying on Jesus' bosom at the last supper. It was the place of honor, of communion of souls. Lazarus was not rewarded for his poverty, but for his faith, and patience, and love in his poverty. Rich man...was buried—Had a splendid funeral. His crime was not his riches, but his selfishness, his neglect of all loving duties. He had none of the spirit of heaven. 23. In hell—In Hades, the place of the dead. It was divided into two parts: Gehenn, or hell, and Paradise, or heaven. Torments—By the flame. Not a physical flame: for his body was buried. Fire was a true type of his sufferings. 25. In thy lifetime...thy good things—You lived for the world, and so received your reward there. 26. A great gulf fired—The character becomes permanently good or bad, and cannot be changed. 27. Send....to my father's house, etc.—A natural feeling, and also an implied excuse for himself and reproach upon God, as if he had not had a fair chance. 31. If they hear not Moses—If men will not revert in their present circumstances, they would not in other circumstances. SUGGESTIVE QUESTIONS Subject: The Relation of This Life to the Future. Introductory.—What part of Christ's life are we now studying? Show how this was adapted to further Christ's enort to save the Jews. Scene 1. On earth; the worldly man at his earthly best (v. 19).—Describe the rich man of the parable. Why is his name not given? Did his sin consist in his riches? In what did it consist? (Luke 12: 21; John 2: 15, 16; Matt. 6: 21, 24; 13: 22). What duties had he probably neglected? (Matt. 25: 41, 46). What is "a root of all evil"?? (I Tim. 6: 10). Scene II. On earth; The Godly man at his earthly worst (vs. 20, 21).—Describe the condition of Lazarus. What reason have we to regard him as a good man? What promise to the righteous? (Matt. 6: 31-33). Why does God allow some saints to be very poor? (Job 2: 3-6; 2 Cor. 4: 17, 18; John 9: 3; 11: 4.) Was he even thus better off than the sinful rich man? (Psa. 84: 10). Were the dogs an alleviation of his misery, or an addition to it? Scene III. In the other world; the beggar in heaven (vs. 22, 23).—What change of scene now takes place? What difference between the death of Dives and Lazarus? Where was Lazarus? Meaning of "Abraham's bosom"? Was this the right result of his life? Does it prove that he had a good character? Scene IV. In the other world; the rich man in Hades (vs. 22-24).—To what place did Dives go? What was the 'punishment of his sin'? Was this the just result of his character and conduct? THE TURN OF LIFE. The Most Important Period in a Woman's Existence.—Mrs. Johnson Tells How She Was Helped Over the Trying Time. CHARLOTTE JOHNSON Owing to modern methods of living; not one woman in a thousand approaches this perfectly natural change without experiencing a train of very annoying, and sometimes painful symptoms. Those dreadful hot flashes, sending the blood surging to the heart until it seems ready to burst, and the faint feeling that follows, sometimes with chills, as if the heart were going to stop for good, are only a few of the symptoms of a heart attack or chest trouble. The nerves are crying out for assistance. The ary should be heeded, and the patient is prepared to meet the needs of her woman's system at this trying period of her life.

"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM: — I have been sick for a long time. I was taken sick with flooding. All my trouble seemed to be in the womb. I ache all the time at the lower part of the womb. The doctor says the womb is covered with ulcers. I suffer with a pain on the left side of my back over the kidney. I am fifty years old and passing through the change of life. Please advise me what to do to get relief. Would like to hear from you as soon as possible." — MRS. CHARLOTTE JOHNSON, Monclova, Ohio. Jan. 23, 1898. "I have been taking your remedies, and think they have helped me a great deal. I had been in bed for ten weeks when I began taking your Vegetable Compound, but after using it for a short time I was able to be up around the house. The aching in the lower part of womb has left me. The most that troubles me now is the flowing. That is not so bad, but still there is a little every day. I am not discouraged yet, and shall continue with your medicine, for I believe it will cure me." — MRS. CHARLOTTE JOHNSON, Monclova, Ohio. "I send you this letter to publish for the benefit of others. I was sick for nine years so that I could not do my work. For three months I could not sit up long enough to have my bed made. I had five different doctors, and all said there was no help for me. My trouble was change of life. I suffered with ulceration of the womb, pain in sides, kidney and stomach trouble, backache, headache, and dizziness. I am well and strong, and feel like a new person. My recovery is a perfect surprise to everybody that knew me. I owe all to Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I would not do without your medicine for anything. There is no need of women suffering so much if they would take your remedies, for they are a sure cure."—MRS. CHARLOTTE JOHNSON, Monclova, Ohio. When one stops to think about the good Mrs. Johnson derived from Mrs. Pinkham's advice and medicine; it seems almost beyond belief; yet it is all true as stated in her three letters published above at her own request. As a matter of positive fact Mrs. Pinkham has on file thousands of letters from women who have been safely carried through that danger period "Change of Life." Mrs. Johnson's cure is not an unusual one for Mrs. Pinkham's medicine to accomplish. $5000 REWARD.—We have deposited with the National City Bank of Lynn, $5000, which will be paid to any person who can find that the above testimonial letters and/or a questionnaire, or were published under the special mission. LYDIA E. PINKHAM MEDICINE CO. The learned Prince Granadu, heir to the Spanish throne, imprisoned by order of the crown for fear he should aspire to the throne, was kept in solitary confinement at the Place of Skulls in Madrid. After thirty-three years in this living tomb death came to his release, and the following remarkable researches, taken from the Bible and marked with an old nail on the rough walls of his cell, told how the brain sought employment through the weary years: In the Bible the word "Lord" is found 1,825 times. The word "reverend" but once, and that in the ninth verse of Psalm exil. The eighth verse of the 97th Psalm is the middle verse of the Bible. The ninth verse of the 8th chapter of Esther is the longest. The 35th verse of the 11th chapter of St. John is the shortest. In the 170th Psalm four verses are alike, the 8th, 15th, 21st and 31st. Ezra vill. 21, contains all the letters of the alphabet except "j." Each verse of the 136th Psalm ends allike. No names or words with more than six syllables are found in the Bible. The 27th chapter of Isaiah and 19th chapter of Second Kings are alike. The word "girl" occurs but once in the Bible, and that in the third verse of the third chapter of Joel. There are found in both books of the Bible 3,538,483 letters, 77,693 words, 31., 37 verses, 1,189 chapters and 60 books. The 26th chapter of the Acts of Apostles is the finest to read. The most beautiful chapter is the 23d Psalm. The four most inspiring promises are John xiv, 2; vl, 37; Matthew xl, 28; Psalm xxxvil, 4. The first verse of the 50th chapter of Isaiah is the one for a new convert. All who flatter themselves with vain boasting should read the sixth chapter of Matthew. All humanity should learn the sixth chapter of St. Luke from the 20th verse to its ending—Ex. Gongling leads to Consumption. Kemp's Balsam will stop the cough at once.

"Dogs As Newspaper Carriers. Tn Connecticut they are said to have news. dogs, who regularly perform the service of earrying the newspapers from the trains. On all ‘the Connecticut lines the trainmen throw newspapers off the cars at or near the houses of subscribers who live a long distance from the stations, and in many’ instances dogs have béen trained to watch for the train and get the papers. ‘One dog goes a mile and a half every morning for his paper. It was for- merly thrown by the brakeman from the last car, and there the dog. always watched for it. Lately the paper has been thrown from the baggage car. ‘This change did not please the dog. For some time he would bark furiously and wait at the last car before going on bis errand. Even now he is uot ‘reconciled. At another place a dog has acted for several years as ews agent for a number of families. The papers are thrown out while the ears are going at full speed, but whether one paner or a large bundle Onds its way to the ground, the dog never fails to. bring it away, making good time back ~ Another dog, who has‘become a vet eran agent, has grown too o!d and rheumatic to perform his task.
