THE ENDOF THE DAY

The Day in gorgeous travelling dress goes
through the Sunsets door;
And many days my eyes may see, but see this
Day no more.
1t goes to make report to God of all that we have
done,
Since. first to light it on its way He lit its lamp,
the Sun.
1t fingers on the Threshold still while parting
gifts 1t throws
To all it leaves behind-unto the orient clouds, a
rose,
Its purple to the crowding hills that hushed in
homage stand,
And gold unto the leaping sea and gauze unto
the land.
Yes. wait. kind Day, before you go to find the by
gone days.
And, to my heavenly Father take my love and
thanks and praise
For all the blessings that He sent by you anew to
me;
The sight of those love the best and busy life
and glee,
And beg him day by day to me His best of gifts
TO send,
A heart to love him more and more till all my
days shall end.

THE LAWS DELAY.
The Annoyances Which Supreme Court Liti-
giants Will Probably Experience.

The period for which the Supreme Court
Commission was created ends tomorrow. The
I'VE Supreme Judges win then be without any
assistance in performing the work of the court.
They will be left to do what was too much
Tor ten men. In consequence cases will accu-
mulate twice as fast as they can be disposed OF.
II think Supreme Court Clerk Sheerin stated
to Journal reporter yesterday, shat, in year
from now, instead of there being $50 cases on
the docket, as there are now, there will be about
1,2OOn
'sWhat is the average number of cases appealed
in years"
"From 700 to 800 Last year there were 697
new cases. The Supreme Judges decide about 400
cases year. The number can be increased to
about 500, but that is more work than they
ought to try to do. OF course new cases will
accumulate rapidly and persons concerned will
experience much annoyance and evaporation
from the delay"
Since the commission was created the docket
has been gradually diminished, but there yet re-
mains more business, with the new cases that
will be appealed, than both the judges and com
missioners could entirely dispose of within
the next two years. The failure OF
the Legislature therefore, to create an appellate
court to supply the place filled temporarily by
the commission, will entail an incalculable
amount of annoyance and trouble, and the laws
justice will be melted out to litigants only after
hong delay.

A Forger Apprehended.

A few days since young man assuming the
name CT Julius Schmidt, and claiming to be a
relative Of Schmidt Bros. brewers, presented
o check for $500 at the Indiana National Bank,
with the Schmidts as indorsers, and
by judicious talking succeeded in
having it cashed. He said that he
had been unsuccessful in several business
ventures, and that his cousins were aiding him
In starting anew. After getting the money, the
bogus Schmidt purchased of Levi Munter span
of horses for 1925, paying down $500, and prom
tsing to settle the balance in few days.
YESTERDAY he obtained possession Of the
team under the pretense of desiring
purchase harness for them, and then attempted
to pass another check for 5000 at the same
bank, but in forging the name of the indorsers,
made fatal mistake in spelling the name
Schmid. This led to his detection, and his ar
rest was made by Officer Lang and Detective
McMillen. At the police station he gave as
his true name James Jeske. residing on
English avenue, and formerly employed as a
freight truckman on the Big -Four railroad He
endeavored to palliate his offense by claiming
that the original forgery was committed by man
in Chicago, but admits that the fellow was paid
for his services by him. The bank has taken
possession Of the horses. and the original owner
threatens to replevy them to satisfy the remain
ing claim OF indebtedness of $25

INTERIOR DECORATIONS.
How TO Provide Against Botch- Work-Mr.
Carl MOller as an Artist
and Expert,

The vernal season is here with its opening
buds, its green grass and waving trees, and the
thoughts of housekeepers, glad that the long
winter has passed, lightly turn to interior
decoration. They wish to bring their homes in
accordance with the brighter and pleasanter face
of nature outside.
With many this is hazardous experiment
In buying Wallpapers and decorations they not
unfrequentiy make the mistake of bringing to-
gether the most inharmonious colors, and then
what was to have been light and attractive
room, turns out to be- through it's dismal ar
rangement Of color, perfect cave of gloom.
Sucn, however. is not the experience of those
who place their orders in the hands of Carl
Moller, of No 161 East Washington street Mr..
Moler has studied his business as fine art,
which in reality it is, and the city abounds with
homes which show the skill Of his handiwork
and the taste and good Judgment of his selec-
ton.
Mr.. Moller has the idea of treating each room
as picture, and with due attention to all sur
roundings and accessories. In this way, when
he selects the paper for customer, he sees that
there are no inharmonious intrusons, and the
consequence is that whatever comes from his es-
tablishment never fails to please.

That Mountain Mule.

"Knocks EN- all higher than Rocky m mountain
mule can kick
As was passing car stable between Twenty -eighth
and Twenty ninth streets, st. Louis, one day last
summer, the above remark caught my ear Turning,
saw two of the stable in earnest conversation.
Now confess to friendly feeling for the mule His
meek endurance of insults and lashwhps excites my
admiration To be sure he is homely but then he does
aspire shine in society, and presents
his claims to Office upon the more highly favored
politicians of his ward But when his soul is stirred
within him, he can and does. kick. 1t is his pro-
test against grinding despotsn. Why should vain
ridicule and asperse his only accomplishment
Filled with these reflections, / demanded of the
speaker why he too joined the thoughtless crowd in
talking lightly of the mule. He replied: MY name
is Charley Smith, and work in this stable meant
offense to the mule. was just telling Bill here
about that big attack of rheumatism had awhile ago,
and what cured it. told him nothing touched it till
struck Bensons Capcne Plasters and they soon fixed
me up all right"
.Plassers, Mr. Smith," said las Bret Harte sang
about the Mississippi steamboat engneers-are pretty
much all alike
Scarcely" said Smith; there's no end of odds be-
tween 'em. tried all they had in the drug stores

why when you first put EN- they warm up the

rest of the plasters don't do that. There's no use
talking; they just knock all the rest highern Rocky

Smith was ncoerigible and probably right, and in
mentioning the incident only regret that it gives
Bensons plaster people the benefit Of free advertise.

National Benefit Associations Affairs.

National Benefit Associations Affairs
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April a. 1885.
To the Board of Management of the National Benefit
Association, of Indianapolis. Ind:
The committee appointed at the last annual
meeting to thoroughly examine into the affairs
of the National Benefit Association beg leave to
submit the following
We have carefully examined the organization
of the association as set forth in its charter and
plans of business, and it's mode of conducting
the same, and find the method of business 20 be
the collection of two distinct funds from the
members; one called the indemnity fund.- which
is used solely to pay claims for weekly and death
benefits arising from accidental bodily injuries
to members and such fund can never be used for
any other purpose; the other, the expense fund,
from which all expenses Of every description
must be paid.
The expense fund is supplied by the payment,
in advance, OF fixed annual expense fee by each
member
The indemnity fund is the important one to
the membership, as it belongs to them exclu-
sively, and from it all claims for benefit must be
paid. We have. therefore, with great care, ex-
amined the mode of supplying and protecting
the same, and fully believe that the present
method of supplying the same by advance as
sessments paid in by the members upon the
present rates established. makes ample provis-
ion for the full and prompt payment of all just
claims to members because of accidental bodily
injuries, which protection and indemnity is
furnished at much less cost to the insured than
that charged by stock companies. We, there
fore, have no hesitation in commencing the as
ISOLATION to the confidence of the public.
The business and prudential affairs of the as
ISOLATION are being managed with commendable
care and ability.
We find the official management in the hands
of NJ. Henning president, and John A. Wilkens,
secretary and comptroller, under the advice and
direction of an executive committee of your own
selection.
dr. Henning is gentleman of large expert
ence in successful business affairs, and of we'll
known capacity and integrity.
Mr.. Wilkens has had much experience in the
affairs of the association, and is eminently quail
fled for the duties of the positions he fills.
Both of these gentlemen are devoting their
whole time and energy to the business of the
association, and their ability and sterling integ-
rity lead us to believe that all interests will be
fully protected under their management Re-
spectfully submitted.
