In very comprehensive sketch of the life
of Major O. M. Wilson, of this city, who
is a candidate for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS on the
Republican State ticket, the Greenfield Republic
an says:
'Maior Wilson is one of the best stump
speakers in Indiana, and, if placed second on the
ticket, will do in a very effective way far more
than his part of the arduous campaign work. AS
a lawyer he stands a counsellor in jurispru-
dence and constitutional law, or. properly speak
ing, the laws of governments, the peer of any
man at the bar of Indiana His life has been
that of student and as author and writer,
his research aud methods, as in the law, are
clear concise and scholarly. But the place in
which he will show to the best advantage will be
as president of the Senate His unbounded
knowledge of parliamentary law and the Gus
toms and practices of parliamentary bodies will
make him shining light as president of the
Indiana Senate. And, while we do not wish to
disparage the claims of any other of the many
gentlemen who are candidates for this position,
we believe that Major Wilson's claims upon his
party and State are sufficient to Justify the
State convention in giving him the nomination.
Let it be remembered that his three most prom
inent claims are: First, his faithful services to
his country as a soldier; second, his ability as a
political speaker; and third, his eminent qualifi
cations for the position he seeks"

AMONG the numerous suicides which are oc-
curing every day, that of Miss Heintz, of
Baltimore, is noticeable only from the fact that
the cause was not disappointment in love, nor
had she been dealing in margins 1t was be-
cause she could not get chance to die of love
that Miss Heintz killed herself. She is repre-
scented as having been q young woman of an
extremely sensitive nature, and also possessed of
a very pretty face, which attracted admirers.
The admirers never got inside the front door,
however, owing to the vigilance of the paternal
Heintz. The sensitive young woman thereupon
concluded that her parents hated her, and de-
cided to destroy herself, which she did by means
of morphine Parents cannot be too careful in the
management of their sensitive offspring By
letting them have their own way, they will not
commit suicide SO soon as they may otherwise do.

To the Editor of the Press:
Twice within six weeks, has my little house
hold been invaded, once by lady and once by
gentleman for the purpose of stealing my
cook. OF course it is qualification to me,
painful as the results may be, to think that
my good wife can educate the common run Of
servant girls to be so desirable that pirates enter
my house to capture such prizes. But when ii
comes to nothing to eat, and the clothes not in
the wash on a Monday morning, one has burn
ing thoughts concerning this contemplate sort
Of work.
The only satisfaction that have had was
that when the gentleman called on my cook at
my front door ID he was sent via the back door
into the kitchen where in whispers and under
tones he succeeded in his theft. know that
II should enter this gentleman's Office and
entice away his trusted clerk, he would feel
like kicking me out. certainly should de-
serve sucn treatment, but not more so than he
for stealing my cook.
So two persons now have my carefully
trained cooks. They also have my inexpressible
contempt for their thieyishness, as inexcusabls
as it is despicable. M. ID.

Robert Shuttle worth went to England from
Illinois some years ago. The first of last De-
cember he returned to this country from Lin
colnshire, England, and went to Lincoln, ILL.,,
where he told the clerk of the hotel that he
fell asleep in railroad station in this city and
lost his valise and overcoat. AS he was
known to have owned great deal of land in
this city before he went to England, and was
also known to never record deed, it is
thought the deeds to his property may have
been in the valise stolen from him in Portland.
His widow is very poor and resides at Lincoln,
and if anyone found the valise with the papers
a just and righteous act will be performed by
restoring them to Mrs. Robert Shuttleworth
at Lincoln, Ill.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
THE MONUMENT rA1R CONCERT


The low rice of tickets TO the concert to lie
given at City Hall on Wednesday evening,
should pack the house. Those who are in a
way to know say that better concert has
not been heard here this past season than the
Monument Fair concert will be. The Haydn
Association has been drilling on the numbers
they will present for long time back, and
several of the selections possesses more than
ordinary attractions for a miscellaneous audi
en3e. The ladies of the Rossini Gu are rare
ly heard outside of their own hall, and this fact
will draw large number of the unsteady in
clined. The Weber Club are great favorites
in Portland, and in addition to their selections
will, with chorus of rich voices from the
Haydns, render Finland love song in man
ner that cannot fail to create enthusiasm. The
solos will be by our best singers. The object
OF the concert appeals to everybody, and seats
should be secured at Stockbridge's at once.
NOTES.
Miss Mary Anderson's success in Manchester
has been without precedent in theatrical an
mails. Her receipts during the past week
amounted to $4,000, which is a larger sum
than was ever before taken by any dramatic
attraction in the same length of time in that
city.
