THE MONDAY MAUNDERER,

ATounub were women. one Is KNOWN as mary
Mullen, and she came from Cincinnati the po-
lice say, to WORK the fair. She is about thirty
years old, and rather ladyke in appearance.
Captain Campbell caught her with her hand in "a
woman's pocket. She had taken no money in
that case, and the intended victim was so fright
ened that she ran away, and so escaped beiag a
witness. I'm not kicking at this arrest" said
the amlable Miss Mullen 10 Captain Campbell.
I'm IN for IL but you can't identify anything
I've done. don't want TO act smart TO YOU peo-
pie; you're onto my racket. But want to get
ont as quick as can, as Pm losing money every
day | stay here. The other woman gives the
name OF Sophia Levi, who is not near
pleasant n tnlker AS Miss Mullen "aer hus-
band" says Captain Campbell, as in Sing slug
prison; but you ought to see the hloke vino is
here with her. He's very much injured In his
feelings about Sophie's arrest, winch he de-
nOunces as AN outrage. He's very stylish in
dividual, with sde-bar whiskers. Sophie did
some work here during the eneampnent.'
"Do You know2" said State fair exnibter,
"what brought about the manufacturers meet
ing the other night2 I'll tell you. 1t all grew
out of very little thing. An exhiDter had a
building on the fair grounds. During the en-
campment it was taken and used by the military
gentlemen who fourished at that time, who cut
number of holes in the floor to put timbers for
table legs, or something of that kind through,
and who on going away, failed to put it in as
Wrathful and sent postal card to the state
Board of Agrit ulture, asking why this
abused in this wav. The arricui-
tnrsts didn't answer tine card, laughed
at IL and showed it to a number of persons. The
card-writer got angrier on hearing of this, and
now "behold now great blaze little fire hath
Kindled."
"rhe ignorance shown by suicides" said a
medical friend, sis truly deplorable. Why don't
they inform themselves beforehand, ana not
make such wretched blunders2 They are shock
ingly inartistic, and cause themselves uuneces-
sary suffering. I'll pass by unworthy of no
tice the wretch who dies dogs death at the
end of rope or he who takes arsenic and goes
out like swelled rat. can't bear to think OF
the terrible agony that foll0ws the use of such
horrible lrritants corrosive sunllmate ana
Paris green, or the muscular misery that attends
sTryehnine. think I'll write u book, 'fhe sui
cide's GUIDE II would sell, but the same per-
son would never want n second copy"
The Supreme Council nf the Ancient and Ac-
cepted Scottish Rite Masons closed in Cincinnati,
conferred the $50 upon Austin II. Brown, of
this city, W. J. Roby, of Richmond, and John L.
Butler, of Vncennes. John t. Brush and Byron
K. Elliott have been elected to take the degree
next year. Nicholas +. Rucke, $50, has been
made an active member OF the Council, in plaa7
of n omas r. Austln, of Vinceunes, who retires
ON account of III health. Indiana's active menu
hers in the Supreme Council now are Ebrdge
G. Hamilton, Of Laporte, aud John CaVen and n.
K. Ruckie, OF indianapolis.
Theft ia sometimes terribly cruel. The other
day at the Fair ground, Malinda Long, woman
wrinkled and bent with age, cried ont that she
had been robbed. A thief had taken her pocket
book. "It was all the money l had in the
world" said the old woman, weeping bitterly,
land had been more than a year saving it for
a bad day, against sickness or accident. Oh,
how rOilrd and stinted myself to save it. II
tile thief only knew!" IL WAS only $50. but it
would not have been more cruel mad it been a
hundred times that amount.
"If you want pure spices," said the druggist 70
the woman buylng stuff for sweet pickles, "buy
them uDground. All ground spices sell cheaper
than when ungruund. Ground cinnamon and
cloves are adulteraJed with cocoandt, bells,
which are bought by the ship.load for the express
use of ground spice men. Black Pepper, when
ground, is largely adulterated. Ground mustard
is made chiefly of flour or corn meal, roOred
with curcuma. with sufficient cayenne pepper
added TO make II bite"
Indianapolis day didn't materiaze at the
State show. The encanpment of a year ago,
which Dlade nearly $1,000 clear profit, money
upon which Raper Commandery went to San
Francisco was managed by Indianapolis men,
and its patronage was nearly exclusively from
this city. That shows what indianapolis can
DO. II the State fair would give This city finger
IN the mana cement il would add at least $4,000
each year TO It's receipts.

Some innocent people wondered why it was
that the losing contestants in tine horse trot at
the fair took their defeat amiahly. Don't
know how it was IN the other races, but in the
troJ by Indianapolis road~t@rs il was II clear
hippodrome, The purse, $3.50, being evenly di-
vided among the owners.
="
Some queer things in connection with our
city politics." said observing Twelfth
warder. ''Tnis thing of moving into a ward
thirty days before election, aud then
running for tue Council. Isn't that ideu Trying
ones self with the interests of the ward with
vengeanceP'

Signor Eawsnda, the man with the iron jaw,
who exhibited on the Fair grounds last week AMI
held up l,I2O pounds by his teeth, has had an
additional burden laid unon him. On Friday he
received ii disnatch from Detroit that his wife
had made HIM the father of twins.

A thinking Democrat unhurdened himself TO
the nlaunderer yesterday: "From the tone OF
Mr.. Gabriel Schmuck's utterances I begin &c
think that virtue will not be allowed to beeaIn e
rampant III case he il elected"
