The archaeological Thief.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
Mr.. Wickersham, your correspondent from
Anderson, is evidently another victim of the
notorious and well-known scientific thief, Roy
M. Cameron, alias w. Rush Taggert, alias S. r.
Douglas.
This is the man who under the name of Tag
gert duped Professor Collett in December, 1883,
out of his 'Paleontologie Vegetale" and "Creta-
ceous and Pumian Flora" books worth over $3.50.
He has also gone through the cabinets of Pro
fessor Nelson, of Delaware, o., Samuel b.
Shoup and George Caswell, Dayton, O., and
Colonel Robertson, of TT. Wayne, Ind, with
varying success.
He is not deaf and dumb, as he represents,
but usually uses this method in his exploits. He
is generally we'll supplied with fine fossils and
relies, probably the gleanings of number OF
cabinets.
When last heard from he was near Kansas
City. He has been published time and time
again in all the scientific papers, and he will
probably be captured some day and given his
just deserts. FLETCHER NJ NoE

Is John Caven Losing His Gripf

For forty or fifty years. more or less | have

ONeal nor witty, like Dick Ryan, nor poetic,
like Major Gordon, nor profound like Judge Nor

of good, hard horse sense; hence it is with much
regret that l am tempted to believe that
the old man is losing his grip. For a
year or more he has been preparing to erect
towers for lighting the city by electricity, and
has invested large amount of his money in the
necessary material, not imagining that anybody
would attempt to prevent his carrying out so
philanthropic an enterprise when all at once he

The Dangerous Cleveland Light Men.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
Your correspondent Tax payer" in this morn
ing's paper raises a wall over the danger of al
loving the Brush Electric light Company the
privilege of eratuitously erecting its towers and
furnishing light to portion of our city. He
warns us against those Cleveland fellows. That
music is old, and was successfully sung by the
Only Streetcar Company. 1t seems to me that
it would be good thing to have a little more
light, with our streets and alleys filed with tee
graph and telephone poles, lumber piles, broken
and worn-out machinery, disabled wagons agri
cultural implements, store boxes, and the princi-
pal street In the city permanently oostructed by
a transfer street car and appurtenances. We
certainly need all the light we can get to enable
belated citizens make their way through these
labyrnths without breaking their necks Be
sides, let us have a change. We now have a
street railroad company, gas company and
water company, which have a monopoly their
respective businesses, and appear to own the city
at least, they run it. / am in favor Of drawing
the line monopOlies, and beginning with the
electric light companies. Let the bad Cleveland
crowd go ahead with the Brush light company's
towers, and furnish us light for nothing. Let
them come, say, though every member of the
Board of Alderman and Council be manager or
officer IN the Jenney system. JUSTICE.

Wheat Will Advance.
st. Louis Globe Democrat.

1t seems to be accepted now as fact that the
wheat crop Of this country will be much less
than in any other year since 1879, yet the price
continues low. Spectators complain bitterly at
the disposition manifested by farmers to hold
their wheat until the price advances
What else can a farmer do il ne has
just consideration for his own interests 1t is
true he may be compelled to sell because of
debts, but If he is able to hold when the price is
below cost of production. that is the wise course
A farmer in one of the best wheat counties of
this State remarked few years ago, when he
had two or three crops of wheat on hand, that
the price would be a dollar and half at least
once in three years and he made it his practice
to hold his crops for that price. His generaliz-
ing, however, was sound, and will be
supported In years 10 come by prices that
will always 60 higher after long period
of depression The very fact that wheat sold
low continuously for three years and more is an
argument favoring advance because low
prices have lessened the area of production
while at the same time they have increased CON
sumption, thus bringing nearer approach to that
even balance between supply and demand which
makes healthful trade. Careful observers of
the situation have now settled to the conclusion
that wheat will advance within the present
year. 1t may not go to high fgures-it proba-
bly, will not-nevertheless an advance is almost
as sure as the harvest

The Worlds Largest Galvanometer.

Ithaca, N Y, Special.
There has just been completed at Cornell Uni
versity the largest galvanometer in the world
1t was built under the direction of Prof VIM A.
Anthony, of the department of physics, and over
year was spent in the construction The in
strument contains all the accessories that are
necessary for making the most complete and ac-
curate measurements of any kind of electrical
apparatus, and is valued at several thousand
dollars There four circles, each two metres
in diameter Dr. Guyter, of the Stevens 1nsti-
tute of Technology, and several electrical engn-
GERS from "a distance, together with Profs An
thony and Moler, of Cornell are at present en-
gagged in making tests, by the aid of the galvan-
ometer, on the strength of the current of pow
erful dynamo sent here for that purpose, which
is run at 200 revolutions a minute. The in
strument has been mounted and placed in the
physical and chemical laboratory building and
will prove valuable addition to the electrical
engineering department of the university.

The Negro in the South.
To the Editor OF the indianapolis Journal:


I'VE don't want the negro to ride in the cars with
our wives and daughters. We don't want him to 90
to the same hotel wthus to eat at the same table
We don't want him to come in houses except as
servants. We don't him in our churches. If
meet the sidewalks want him to give
way for rs to pass | could mention many others of
similar nature but consider this enough"
The above clipping is from letter written to
the New York Herald and republished by the
Journal of Monday. The likes and dislikes of
the average Southerner are somewhat curious to
tho people of the North. That a child, which is
very susceptible to evil influences, should be
brought up by colored nurse, is nothing to a
Southerner. But for his wife and daughter.
who ought to be able to take care of themselves,
to sit in the same car with negro, is worse
than associating with ''publicans and sinners"
Everything in Its own place is the Southerner's
motto and the place for the thing sometimes
called negro is ont on the platform. in the
hot sun or drenching rain. At church the negro
is expected to stay outside and hold the horses,
while the white man goes in and renders thanks
that he is mot as other men are" Perhaps this
is his way of fulfilling the Scripture which speaks
of ''outer darkness. for is not the neighing of
horses and the champing of bits what is meant
by weeping and crashing of teethf'

Miscellaneous Notes.

The cattle traffic on the Northern Pacific in
either direction is reported to be growing larger
every day.
There are indications that the English holders
have got pretty well over their scare and are not
inclined to dispose of their railroad stock as
much as they were.
There is no improvement in West Shore
finances, and it is reported that, to say
nothing of the employees not being paid their
June wages, the company is in debt for it's Office
rent
The Boston and Albany is experimenting with
coke on one of its passenger engines. 1t re-
qutres less attention, throws less smoke and
cnders and costs more than coal but it is said
to make steam better.
The Scranton Steel-rail Mill Company in
order Ito encourage continuous, faithful work"
will make monthly presents" to its employees of
bonus of half of one per cent of their monthly
due bills for every six months they have worked
for the company continuously over and above
one years services.

the South Pennsylvania railroad scheme to

surs that shall represent interest upon the
amount absolutely expended upon the construc-

to be fixed BY the decision of referees selected
by each party to the contract. The rate of in

mands per cent. and chance favors adjust

In return fer the turning over Of the above
property in the manner mentioned the Penn
syvana railroad is to withdraw all the facili
ties which it has heretofore extended to the
West Shore and to refuse to carry freight
from it or to it. 1t is also to allow the New
York Central to make any arrangement
to secure control of the West Shore that
may seem satisfactory to Mr.. Vanderbilt or
his representatives. The Pennsylvania agrees
to make no proposition for the management of
the West Shore in any way or upon any terms,
but will refuse to compete with the New York
Central or their representatives in the matter.
