' A VETERAN’S VERDICT.

The War is Over. A Well-known Sol-
dier, Correspondent and Journal-
ist Makes a Disclosure.

Indiana contributed her thousands of brave
soldiers to the war, and no state bears a bet-
ter record in that respect. than it does. In

literature it is rapidly acquiring an
enVIable lace. In war and literature
Solomon ewell, well known as a writer as

”Sol,” has won an honorable position. Dur-
ing the late war he was amember of CO. M,
2d. N. Y. Cavalry and of the 13th Indiana In-
fantry Volunteers. .Regardin an important
circumstance he writes as fol ows:

“Several of us old veterans here are using
Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine, Heart Cure
and Nerve and Liver Pills, all of them giving
splendid satisfaction. In fact, we have never
used remedies that compare with them. Of
the Pills we muSt say they are the best com-
bination of the qualities re uired in a. prep-
aration Of their nature we ave ever know-n.
We have none but words of praise for gem.
They are the outgrowth of a new princi e in
medicine, and tone up th system wonder-
fully. We say to all, try these remedies."
—-Solomon Yewell, Marion, Ind., Dec. 5,1892.

These remedies are sold by all druggists on
a positive uarantee, or sent direct by the
Dr. Miles edical 00., Elkhart, Ind.. on re.-
ceipt of price, 21 per bottle, six bottles 55, ex-
press prepaid. They positively contain neither
opiates nor dangerous drugs. "

THE PARIS DECISION.

Canada Thinks England Cracked :3 m
of Which the United States
. Got the Kernel. ‘

LONDON, Aug. l7.-—The Pall Mall Ga.-
zette, commenting editorially upon the de-
cision of the Behring sea tribunal of arbi-
tration, says:

“The award is satisfactory to Enghnd
and need not be regretted by the United
It ratifies the inalienable right of
vessels to sail the high seas free and un-
disturbed. The stability Of this primary

canon law of'nations is of more value to.

the United States than many sealskins.
The decision, which will result in the
preservation of the seals, is wise, humane
and farreaching. It may cause a present
falling off in the income Of certain sealers,

but it will secure to the world a regular,

supply of this precious luxury.”

The St. James Gazette ridicules the idea
that the award is a triumph for Great
Britain or for international arbitration.
The American people, it says, would never
have gone to war for such an absurdity as
the claim that Behring sea was a mare
clausem. All that the award has done,
the paper adds, is to give the sgnction of
the tribunal ‘to a set of regulations that
would probably have been better framed
by a commission of British, Canadian and
American representatives.

A Nut Cracking Simile.

, OTTAWA, Aug. 17. — Hon. Mackenzie
Bowell, acting premier, has received the
following cable from the premier, Sir John
Thompson: “Behring sea arbitration con-
cluded. All questions of right decided in
favor of Britain. Future sealing prohibit-
ed in May, June and July, and firearms
forbidden in Behring sea.”

Asked if he thought the decision satis-
factory, Mr. Bowell replied that he had no
comment to make until the full text of
the award was received.

Hon. Mr. Bowell’s reticence is emulated
by the other members of the cabinet, but
there is a reason to believe that the outline
of the award does not give much satisfac-
tion in official circles here. The feeling
seems to be that Great Britain has cracked
a nut of which Canada gets the shell and
the United States the kernal.

\VILD \VITH EXCITEMENT.

A Lynching and a Race War Imminent In
an Ohio Town. -

YELLOW SPRINGS, 0., Aug. 17.-—'I‘his vil-
lage is wild with excitement over the mo-
mentary expectation Of a lynching, if not
burning at the stake.

William Whaley, the colored desperado
who so foully murdered a farmer named
Hopping yesterday, was traced to a stone
quarry near the town late last night. The
quarry was surrounded by several hundred
armed men, but in the darkness Whaley
escaped to the woods with the mob at his
heels. Sheriff Doge arrived here with a
posse of deputies. but he will not be able
to cope with the desperate mob.

Nearly one-half of the town’s population
are colored people. They are armed with
rifles and shotguns, and they declare that
Whaley must be given a fair trial. They
organized last night, and if Whaley is
lynched a bloody race war is feared.

The Cholera Spreading.

VIENNA. Aug. 17.—A despatch from

Leger-domain That Failed to Work.

The bright young man—who isn’t so
very young either—was fortunate enough
to secure a seat right ' in the midst of
' Deacon Huggum‘s young ladies’ Bible
class and by their arch manners was so
far decoyed from his usual staid indiffer-
ence as to try and make himself agreea-
ble.‘

The speaker of the evening pleaded
most earnestly the cause of sweet chari-
ty and made the last remaining quarter
and. nickel burn in the scribe’s pocket-

When the deadly contribution box be-
gan its gyrations in his isle, the news-
paper representative began to chuckle
under the mellowing influence of a hap-
py thought. He would execute a neat
little piece of legerdemain with that
quarter and 5 cent piece, and while
properly impressing his fair neighbors
with the larger coin would really drop
in the smaller.

He held the quarter daintily between
his thumb and finger and pressed the
5-cent piece between his third finger and
his palm._ There was a click Of a coin
in the bottom of the box, a rather un-
usual twist of a large cuff and a bland
smile on the reporter’s face.

A second later the young man started
as if he had been shot and turned ex-
citedly toward the deacon. who was now
two seats behind him.

He had dropped in the quarter!

The deacon mistook the gesture as a
sign that the young man had been over-
looked, and again he thrust the box un-.
der the reporter’s nose. '

What did he do?

Just what you would.

He put in the nickel.

And walked home—Boston Herald.

Curiosities of Glycerin;

One of the great advantages of glycer-

in in its chemical employment .is the
fact that it neither freezes nor evaporates
under any ordinary temperature. N o
perceptible loss by evaporation has been
detected at a temperature less than 200
degrees F., but, if heated intensely
it decomposes with a smell that few
persons find themselves able to endure.
It burns with a pale flame, similar to
that from alcohol, if heated to about
300 degrees and then ignited. Its non.
evaporativev qualities make the com-
pound of much use as a vehicle for hold-
ing pigments and colors, as in stamping
and typewriter ribbons, carbon papers
and the like. ..
g If the pure glycerine be exposed for a
long time to a freezing temperature, it
crystallizes with the appearance of sugar-
candy, but these crystals being once
melted it is almost an impossibility to
get them again into the congealed state.
If a little water be added to .the glycer-
in, no crystallization will take place,
though under a sufficient degree of cold
the water will separate and form crys-
tals, amid which the glycerin will re-
main in its natural state of fluidity. If
suddenly subjected to intense cold, pure
glycerin will form a gummy mass
which cannot be entirely hardened or
crystallized. Altogether it is quite a
peculiar substance—Good HouSekeep-
Ing.

 

Foreworned of Her Child's Death.

A few months after my father's death
the infant son, who had been pining him-
self ill for “papa,” was lying one night
in his mother’s arms. On the next
morning she said to her sister, “Alfis
going to die.” The child had no definite
disease, but was wasting away, and it
was argued to her that the returning
spring would restore the health lost dur-
ing the winter. - "No,” was her answer.
"He was lying asleep in my arms last
night, and William (her husband) came
to me and said that he wanted Alf with
him, but that I, might keep the other
two.” In vain she was assured that she
had been dreaming; that it was quite
natural that she should dream about her
husband, and that her anxiety for the
child had given the dream its shape.'
Nothing would persuade her that she
had not seen her husband or that the in-
formation hehad given her was not true.
So it was no matter of surprise to her
when in the following March her arms
were empty and a waxen form lay life-
less in the: baby’s cot—Mrs. Annie Be-
sant.

THE AFTER TIME.

fliele somcth time for laughter ,
And joy for the days and year;
But ever more cometh after
A time and a place for tears.
Weary of revel and riot,
Sick of the worldly strife, .
Cometh the peace-the quiet-w .
That quickens the founts of lifb v—

And the spirit is disenchanted
With joys that are bitter sweet,
And the soul which for rest had painted
Falls down at the Master’s feet.
The world and its ways seem lonely,
And love at the best seems loss—-
What help is there then. but only ‘
To cling to the crimson cross?

To cling to the cross that blossoms
With blood for the erring shed:
On the tenderest of tender bosoms
To pillow the weary head:
To feel the love that is glowing
From the heart that is quick to beat
With even the harsh nails going
In the beautiful scarred white feet.

0 bird, by the storm winds driven
Where never a sweet bird sings,
From the wild and angry heaven
Fly homeward with weary wings,
And ye that are worn and weary.
Who faint by the way and fall,
Fly fast from the darkness dreary
To the Rock that was cleft for all!

“Thank you, Mr. Cardiac. It’s no joke

“I had made up my mind that if he

“That was kind of‘ you. What Were
you going to tell me, Mr. Cardiac?”

“Well, I wanted to express 'my appre-
ciation of him, and lots of sympathy and

Wanted Them to Swim for It.

One evening last week a deacon of a
N orwich church and the Sunday school
superintendent were sitting upon the

 

piazza of one of the Vail cotta es,Block

Island. when they were sud enly ac-
costed by a lady With streaming hair
and disordered dress, who cried :—
“Oh l Can anybody here swim ?”
The two gentlemen sprang up and
followed her half a mile over rocks,
sea-weed and drift-wood to a spot used
by the guests for bathing. Then their

guide pointed out over the moon-lit

waters, and exclaimed :—

“Oh! I’ve lost my bathing suit, and
I can’t ever get it again.”

Butthe hard-hearted Sunday school
superintendent told her she had better
advertise the missing propert in the
Bordeaux, France. papers, an then he
and the deacon and the owner Of the
bathing suit went silently home—Nor-

THE LITTLE DOG UNDER THE WAGON.

“Come, wife,” said good old Farmer Gray,
“Put on your things, ’tis market day—-
And we’ll be off to the nearest town,
There and back ere the sun goes down.
Spot? No, we’ll leave old Spot behind.”
But Spot he barked, and Spot he whined.
And soon made up, his doggish mind

To follow under the wagon.

Away they went at a good round pace,
And joy came into the farmer’s face.
“Poor Spot.” said he, “did want to come,
But I’m awful glad he’s left at home.
He’ll guard the barn and guard the not
And keep the cattle out of the lot."
“I’m not so sure of that,” thought Spot,
The little dog under‘the wagon.

The farmer all his produce-sold
And got his pay in yellow gold,
Then started homeward after dark.
Home through the lonely forest. Hark!
A robber springs from behind a. tree—
“Your money or else your life.” says he.
The moon was up, but he didn’t see

The little dog under the wagon.

Spot ne’er barked, and Spot ne’er whined,

But quickly caught the thief behind.

He dragged him down in the mire and dirt

And tore his coat and tore his shirt,

Then. held him fast on the mix-y ground.

The robber uttered not a sound '

While his hands and feet the farmer bound
And tumbled him into the wagon.

SO Spot he saved the farmer’s life,
The farmer’s money, the farmer’s wife,
And now a hero grand and gay
A silver collar he Wears today.
Among his friends, among his foes,
And everywhere his master goes,
He follows on his horny toes.

The Directors Expect to Pay All' Floating
and Bonded Debts and a Stock —
Dividend as Well.

6‘

CHICAGO, Aug. 17.-1Auditor Ackerman
of the World’s fair has made'his Official
report showing the condition of exposition-
finance on Aug. 7. '

According to the statement, the exposi-
tion has expended for construction and ad-
ministration. s22,182,423.92. It still has.
outstanding liabilities‘ of $1,190,462.32, be-
sides $4,444,500 of. debenture bonds. The
total gate receipts to dateare $3,447,037.51,
and from concessions, $1,178,546.92. The
liabilities scheduled include $250,000 for

live stock premiums and stables, appro-

priated but unexpended. ‘_ _

One feature of interest to stockholders is
the item of receipts from concessions, '
which shows that collected revenue from
that source during July was over $600,000,
a total of $100,000 more than the returns
from the same 5 urce during May and June.

As near as ea be judged from the tabu-
lation, the receipts from all sources, in-
cluding admission, is ,about $80,000 a day.
The operating expenses are in the'neigh-
borhood of $15,000 and decreasing con-
stantly. This leaves a net revenue of about
$65,000 a day or somewhere near $4,000,000
for the remaining period of the fair.
, The attendance, however, is increasing
so steadily that the directors expect to real-
ize considerably more than the estimate
and clear up all bonded and floating in-
debtedness with a margin for stock divi-
dends besides. '

The striking chair pushers have issued
an appeal declaring they unanimously feel
that, rather than work at the reduced

wages proposed by the chair company, ,

they will return home. In case they do so,
the company, on the hypocritical plea of
interest in college boys and with the added
inducement of seeing the fair for nothing,
will endeavor to secure other college boys
who now have applications before the
company to supply the places of the strik-
ing boys. ~

To these prospective chairboys the pres-
ent rollers submit that it will be better at
present cheap rates for room and board
for such men to come here and pay their
expenses for a week .or more than it will
be if they come and pay $20 for chair roll-
er’s uniform and 83 more for a pass. For
$23 any bright college man can now see
the fair for three weeks.

BRITANNIA THE WINNER.

The Prince of Wales’ Yacht Again Outsails
the Yankee Navahoe.

LONDON, Aug. 17.-—The Royal Albert
Yacht club, the Duke of Edinburgh, com-
mOdore, had another ' race today, open to
yachts above 40 rating. The prize was a
cup valued at £90. The start was made
from Southsea, where the clubhouse is lo-
cated, and the course covered a distance of
46 miles, being sailed over twice. The
yachts that started were the Prince of
‘Vales’ Britannia, Mr. Royal Phelps Car-
roll’s N avahoe, Mr. P. Donaldson’s Cal-
luna and Mr. Clarke’s Satanita.

The Britannia got away first, the Cal-
luna second and the Navahoe third. When
the first round had been half sailed, the
Britannia had increased her lead to 2%
minutes from the Navahoe. The Calluna
was five minutes behind the American
yacht.

The Britannia finished first, Callunasec-
end, the Navahoe third and the Satanita
fourth.

mittee last night. The license is for five
years at $5,000 per year. The majority of
the committeemen were elecmd last full by

vote was cast against the license. The ac-

Chmploned by u Gnmin. ‘

A ragged, barefooted boy, 3. Mg
SWeeper, had defied his cap to the Duch-
ess «Sutherland in "the hope of . recog-
nition, when heobserved a well dressed
but rakish looking man following her
across the street, as if trying to force
upon her attentions that were evidently
obnoxious to her. There was a look of
distress on the duchess’ face.

“Sense me, lady,” said a boy’s voice
beside her, “shall I punch ’13 ’ead?’"

She turned, looked down angrily upon
the little sweeper, and then said, smiling:

“Why, it’s J emmie!”

She had remembered his name after
all, and at that moment the boy was here,
body and soul. Without waiting for
another word he dashed off and ed
