1NDIANAPOLIs, Nov. 20.-Gov. Jas. D.
Williams died at 1890 this afternoon. He
was taken sick on the day of the presiden-
tlal election, but has not been considered
dangerous until the past three or four
days. His disease was Inflammation of
the bladder, with which he has been af-
ticted for the past fifteen years. His fu-
neral will take place al his home near
Whiteland, IN Knox county, where he has
TSSlueu LOT 1Orly years.
Governor Williams wife died only a
few months ago at his farm house in Knox
county. The public career of Governor
Williams has been long one, and with
the exception of his term in congress has
been exclusively identified with state af-
fairs. In 1889 he was elected to the office
of Justice of the peace, by his neighbors :;
in 1913 he was first elected to the state leg
islature, and he has served seven years in
the house and twelve years as a member of
the senate. In 1856 he was elected a mem
ber of the state board of agriculture, being
member for sixteen years, and for four
years served as president, which position
he filled with great acceptibility. In 1874
he was elected to congress from the second
congressional district, to succeed Hon.
VIM. Z. Niblack, and before his term ex-
pired was nominated by the democratic
party as its candidate for governor, as a
compromise between Franklin Landers
and 4. S. Holman, between whom the
convention was nearly divided. The con-
test between Mr.. Williams and Gov. Har-
rison resulted in the election of Gov. Will
liams by plurality of over 5000 votes,
and in January. 1877, he was inaugurated
in the grand opera house. Gov. Williams
was also the caucus nominee of his party
to succeed Senator Morton in the extra
session of the legislature in December,
1872. The last public appearance of Mr.
Williams was lust three weeks ago, when
he made an address at the dedication Of
the new dining hall of the house of refuge
at Plainfeld Gov. Williams was born In
Pickaway county, Ohio, January, 1908.
Lieut.. Governor Gray was telegraphed for
this morning, and will arrive tonight to
assume the duties OF governor.

THE social excitement which for the
past two weeks has stirred the village
Of Arlington, y. J., on account of
slight offered by literary and social
society to two young women employed
rs domestics in the town, has resulted
in complete victory for the champi-
ons Of the girls. The young women,
Miss Chevilitta Bolivar and Miss Hat
tie Dunnell, have been presented with
resolutions adopted at meeting of 40
citizens, protesting against the action
Of the society, and extending their
sympathy. That's right-gi give the poor
girls chance, if they behave themselves
as we'll as the rich ones.

JAPAN AND C0REA.
Our Enterprising Oriental Friends
Extending Their Dominion.
Pail Mall Gazette

The Japanese seem to have got their
feet firmly planted on the sacred soil
of Corea. Their settlement of Fusan,
founded on the south point Of the pen
insula in 1877, has already 1000 ia
panese inhabitants. A consul resides
IN the town for the protection of Japan
csc interests; a consular residence has
been built, as well as a school and a
hospital The rapid increase of trade
has made q chamber of commerce nee
essary, with a suitable house near the
consulate. Numerous restaurants have
been opened in which the Japanese can
refresh themselves after their native
fashions or, if of progressive propensi-
ties, in the European style. Building
is actively going on, and unless some
check comes from the side of the
COreans, Fusan will soon be a popu-
lOus and important town. The goods
imported are Only to small extent the
produce of Japan; they mostly come
from Europe and America. In 1879
ninety per cent. of the imports was
from Europe. 1t was stated the other
day that the Russian government was
sending a war ship to carefully survey
the coasts of Japan, but the Japanese
have already done this for themselves
and copy of the chart may, we be-
lieve, be easily obtained. Evidently
the Corean question, as between the
Coreans themselves and the Russians,
Chinese and japanese, must soon be
settled, and at present the Japanese
seem to be most favorably situated
for pouncing on and annexing the
forbidden Land" if they feel so in
clined.

over to Ireland to see friend of his

friend referred him to the village black

fellow. but who, he believed contem-

smith explained the wrongs of ireland.
Are we not, he said, suffering from
absentees taking from Ireland all the

THE bridegroom ola Waukegan we'd
ding was Baptist and the bride 4
Methodist. They had agreed that, inn
mediately after the ceremony, they
would decide by chance which should
embrace the others religion. The of
ticiating clergyman declined to toss up
a cent, partly because he would not
comtenance such proceeding, and
partly because. being a Metho-
dist he might be accused of fraud if
the bride won. The bride herself
finally threw the coin, and lost. When
she went to join the Baptists, however,
they rejected her because she did not
believe IN close communion. This
displeased the husband, and he went

So many tenants on the duke of
Marlborough's Oxfordshire property
have given up their farms, that he has
over 5000 acres unoccupied and
thrown on his own hands. Many other
large landlords in the country are in -
similar predicament, and in Warwick
shire, Worcestershire, and Wiltshire
things are even worse. In fact, the
number of acres now unoccupied in
England is almost incredible.

AT county court held in the
county Of Durham, England, the other

by the evidence; but such language is
scarcely indicative of mind of judi

4 Secret for llOusckcepers.

A sort Of trade-secret among uphol-
sters, it il said, is this recipe for Kidding
furniture of moths: A set of furniture
that seemed 10 be alive with Larvae, and
from which hundreds Of these pests had
been picked and brushed, was set into
room by itself Three gallons of bcnzino
were purchased, at 30 cents gallon re-
tail. Using small watering pot with
fine rose sprinkler, the whole upholstery
was saturated through with benzinc.
Result; Every moth, larvae and egg,
was killed. The benzine dried out in
few hours, and entire odordisappeared
in three or four days. Not the slightest
harm happened TO the varnish or wood,
or fabric, or hair-stulling. That was
months ago, and not II sign of moth has
since appeared The carpets were also
we'll sprinkled all round the sides Of the
room, with equally good effect For furs,
nanne!s-indeed all WOODEN articles con-
tanning Notwithstanding ismost valuable.
Put them in n box, sprinkle with benz
zine, close the box tightly, and in day
or two the pests will be cXterminated,
and the benzine will all eyaporaie on
opening. In using benzine great care
should be taken that no fire is neeT by,
as the stun, in fluid on yapor iuruI, Ia

The colors Of The sky at different times
are q wonderfully good guidance. Not
ONLY does clear sunset nresage fair
weather. but there are other tinis that
speak with iearness and accuracy. \
bright yellow in the evening indicates
wind; pale yellow, wet; neutral gray
color constitutes a favorable sign in the
evening, and an uniavorable one in the
morning. The clouds are full II mean
