solidated. Prior TO the consolidation however the
Lafayette Bloomington s. Western gave two
mortgages to the Central Trust Company, one
of which was for 81 500 900 and another for 81,
600, 0OO The payment of interest on these
mortgages was defaulted on May l. The United
States Express Company is the holder of bonds
under both mortgages, and it brings the suit for
their foreclosure in tho interest of all the bond
holders The complaint alleges that the Central
Trust Company is disqualified from bringing the
suit ms trustee for the bondholders because it
Is also the trustee under four other mortgages
ln other parts of the road. and the interests of
he bondhol6ers under the several mortgages

competent TO perform the duties it has
assumed. 1t is further claimed that the earn
.ngs of the Lafayette Bloomington & Muncie
division have been diverted to pay the interest

The City of London is the most
wonderful place in the world, and its
frequenters the most wonderful peo-
pie. 1t is the smallest Of cities, but
the most valuable. 1t has an area of
one square mile, but that one square
mile produces rent of four millions
per annum, and its inhabitants pay
one seventh of the general rates of
the whole metropolis, which has an
area of 100 square miles. Land is
now sometimes sold in the country at
about clio per acre, which is equal to
one-half penny per square yard. 1t
has been sold in the city at f640 per
square yard, which is equal to over
$4,000, 900 per acre. In other words,
the price of square yard of land in
Lombard street has realized sum
that would purchase a nice little free
hold estate in Berkshire of not less
than sixty-four acres. It's calculated
that 10000 people enter the city dali

ing money without "toiling or spin

The death Of Vice President Hen
drlcks leaves the Senate without a
presiding officer, state of affairs
which has occurred rather frequently
in the last hundred years. The fol-
lowing are the instances:
The first vacancy was in 1915, when
Elbridge Gerry, Vice President under
Madison, died and John Gaillard was
elected to the Office Of President Of
the Senate.
When President Harrison died,
John Tyler, the Vice President, be-
came President, and the Senate elect.
ed William P. Mangum Vice Presi-
dent in 1912. When President Tay-
lor died, Vice President Fillmore be-
came President and in 1850 the Sen
ate elected w. r. King, Vice Presi-
dent, but in the next year ID. Il. At
Gibson succeeded King. Atchison
was elected Vice President under
Pierce, and dying in office, the Sen
ate in 1855 elected Jessie ID. Bright,
OF Indiana.
The deaf Of Lincoln brought Vice
President Johnson to the Presidency
and the vacancy in the Office of the
President of the Senate was first fill
ed by the election of Lafayette S.
Foster, Of Indiana, and afterward by
Ben Wade.
The death Of Henry Wilson, Vice
President during Grants second term
created vacancy that was filled by
the Senate electing Thomas w. Fer
ry, Of Michigan in 1876.
The death of Garfield brought Ar
thur to the Presidency and the SEN
ate elected David Davis, President Of
the Senate. His term expiring, the
Democrats took advantage of a tenn
porary majority and elected Thomas
+. Bayard President of the Senate.
On the opening Of Congress in
1884, the Republicans displaced him
by Geo. F. Edmunds the presiding
officer Of the last Senate. 1t is usual
for the Senate to elect President
pro tempore before abjourning, but
the last one failed to do SO, owing to
some quarrels INDUCED IN Colum-
bus Times.

The Wine Crop.

Recent official reports show how enor-
nous has been the increase of wine pro-
duction in this country III recent years.
The average annual production from 1877
to 1885 was Is, 954 459 gallons, or more than
IS per cent. of the whole wine consump-
ton. From 1870 to 1876 the country's con-
sumption was almost equally divided be-
tween the imported and the domestic
wines, but the latter are rapidly driving the
foreign wines out of the American market.
In 1910 the total import of foreign wines
was AIS 362 gallons, or ga per cent. of
the whole consumption of the country. In
1880 the total import of foreign wines
amounted to 5000, COL gallons. or less than
is per cent. of the whole consumption.
While the country consumption of wine
has increased 400 per cent. since 1910, the
foreign import of wine has increased only
III per cent in that period. In 1880 the
total area devoted to wine culture was 49,
6S3 acres, and the total wine production of
that year amounted to %, i53, 827 gallons,
valued at $13, 426,175.
One reason of the rapid growth of the
wine production in this country is The
liberal policy of the Government While
spirits are taxed ninety cents q gallon and
malt liquors one dollar barrel, the pro-
duction of domestic wines is not subject to
taxation. Domestic wines are favored at
the same time by heavy import duties on
| foreign wines averaging more than sixty
per cent. While heavy taxation has greatly
checked the consumption of spirits for
drink, the exemption Of domestic wine
! from tax has encouraged its consumption
in still greater proportion. The statistics
of the consumption of spirits, malt liquors
and wines mark the great change for the
| better that is going on in the drinking
hol 70 of nt |
| Prohibitionists would do well TO observe
that their policy has done nothing to pro
| mote this reform. So far from promoting
it, the chief effect of prohibitory legislation
is to arrest its progress.-[Philadelphig

GREELEY's RIDE WITH HANK MONK.

The following poem was read by Jca-
quin Miller at the Fourth of July celebra-
ton at Woodstock, Conn:
The old stage drivers of the brave old days!
The old stage drivers with their dash and
trust
These old stage drivers, they have gone their
ways
But their deeds live on, though their bones
And still many campfire tale is told
OF these daring men in the days of gold.
Of honest old Monk and his tally-ho
climb
The high Sierras with the peaks of snow,
And cross TO Nevada. and come in on
But the canyons below were so deep-oh SO
And the summit above was so steep-oh so
The horses were foaming. The summit ahead
Was as steep as the stars on a still, clear
night,
And sleeper and sleeper the narrow route led,
But the faithful old Monk, with his face to the
snow,
Sat silent and stern on his tally-ho.
Sat silent and still, and sat faithful and true
To the great, good man in his charge that
day;
Sat vowing the man and the mail must " go
through
On time" though he bursted both trace and
Sat, silently vowing, i'll face of the snow;
But the way was so steep, and so slow-oh! so
slow.
The bleak pines were black; the bright silver
peaks
Were silver worlds singing of heaven and
Great eagles swooped by with bright, shiny
beakS;
The far waters called from their canyons of
foam
Thpn suddpn olIt-nonninua head sr,ou-v white
Mr.. Monk, 1 must lecture in Nevada tonight -
With just one thought that the mail must go
through;
With just one word to the great, good man
But weary-so weary-the stage wheels drew
As only the weary old stage wheels can
When again shot the head, anu it shrieked out
right:
Mr.. Monk, l MUST lecture in Nevada to-
nightr'
Just then came the summit And the world
below.
1t was Hank Monks world But he no word
sDake.
He pushed back his hat from the high peaks of
He threw out his foot to the great, strong
brake
He threw out his silk He threw out his reins
And the great wheels reeled as if Keeling of
skelns.
The eagles were lost in the crags up above.
The horses, flew swift as the swift light of
The mail must go through with its message of
love.
The miners were waiting his bright bugle
horn.
The man must go through And Monk made a
vow
As he never had failed, why he wouldn't fail
now
How his stage spun the peaks like fair spider
web,
Il. was spider and fly in the heavens up there;
And the swift swirling wheels made the blood
flow and ebb,
For twas death in the breadth of wheel or
a hair.
And so out popped the head, and the piping
voice cried:
Mr.. Monk Mr.. Monk p But no Monk re-
piled.
Then the great stage swung as if swung from
the sky;
Then ii dipped like ship in the deep jaws OF
DEATH.
Then the. good man he gasped, as man gasping
of breath,
When they deem it is coming their time to
die.
And again came the head, like battering ram,
And the face it was red and the words they
were hot:
" Mr.. Monk Mr.. Monk I don't care -
Whether lecture tonight in Nevada or not ~

Human Eve-Bans as Ornaments.

A correspondent in Peru, writing TO the
Toledo Blade, says: 1t is still fashionable
to go on resurrection expeditions to dig in
the Inca burying grounds for mummies
and things that were placed in their graves
The IncaS had the same mode OF preserv-
ing the dead as the ancient Egyptians, and
in each grave were placed articles of decor
alton, as well as utensils required by the
spirits to set up housekeeping in the happy
land. Rings and other ornaments of gold
and silver cups and platters of both metals
in quaint designs, copper articles, strings
Of beads, weaving and cooking appara-
tus, water jugs, pots and jars, and all
sorts of things were placed in the
graves, as well as weapons of war and
other curiosities that interest antigua
rians nowadays. Prof. Romandi, a dis
tinguished French scientist in Lima
has collection of Inca relics for which he
was offered 100000 gold by the London
Museum. He is writing q voluminous
work on the antiquities of Peru, under the
patronage of the Government, three vol
umes of which have been published and
five more are vet coming. Any one can dig
up all the relics he wants by hiring a cou-
pie of men and going out into the rims
which cover the whole country along the
coast. There are millions of graves yet
untouched. The most curious things are
mummles' eyes-petrified eyebaIls-which
are usually to be found in the graves if one
is careful in digging. The Incas had a
way of preserving the eyes of the dead from
decay--some process which modern science
cannot comprehend; and the eyeballs make
very pretty settings for pins. They are yell
low, and hold light like an opal.

Three New Ideas in Styles.

Said the barber " The imperial is going
out Of style and is now never worn by
young men except to lengthen moon face
or hide deformity. Even the elderly men
are having them cut off. The fashion for
perfectly smooth faces is constantly getting
foothoId. The style was set by actors and
kept in motion by esthetic school girls, who
complain that the nustache tickles. As a
rule, the growth of hair on a light-com-
plexioned person is more luxuriant than
on the dark skin. The rage for banging
the hair in front of the ears has lost favor
in dude circles
Said the shoemaker: Young men are
wearing shoes with much thinner soles
than formerly. Many of them prefer what
is known as the paper SOLE so long in
vogue among women to shop in of an af-
ternoon. The fashion is coming around
gradually to pointed toes again. Patent leath-
er is not so much used for street shoes
Yellow pink and maroon-Colored kid is
liked better The yellow shoestrings are
seldom called for except by colored persons
or rustics.'
Said the notion dealer: Bright cOlors
in cravats will be most sought for. The
fashion will be plaids of black and yellow
and crimson, or purple and pink. The
coming cravat will be of the pattern worn
by our forefathers-the kind that ties in
front III knot and falls down carelessly
over the shirt bosom. The shirt hider is
in exile. = Baltimore Herald.

Gold may be said to be everlasting, indie
Structible. The pure acids have no effect
upon it. Air and water are alike prohib-
tied rom working its destruction while
to baser metals they are decay. to gold they
are innocuous. Bury it through long ages,
and when the rude tool of the excavator
again brings it to light, while everything
around it, and originally associated with
it, has returned to dust from which it
sprang; while the delicate form which it
adorned has become a powder so impalpa-
bic as to be inappreciable; while the strong
bone of che mighty warrior crumbles as
you gaze upon it; while his truSty sword
lies a mass of shale rust, the delicate ira
Gerry in gold which adorned it, OF the finely
wrought tiara which encircled the lofty
brow of the fair damsel is there in its pris-
tine beauty, perfect as when it left the
workman's hands and became the Joy of
her tieeting moments Yes, DAYS, years
centuries upon centuries have rolled by,
mighty empires have risen and fallen
dynastes that dreamed their power was to
be everlasting have passed away armies
have marched, conquered and become
nerveless with decrepit old age; cities tenn
ing with population and commerce have
become the dwelling place OF the owl and
the bat; the very pyramids themselves
raised IL the pride of power, and destined
to be forever have Crumbled and Crumb-
ling; and yet that thin tilament of gold has
stood unchanged through all these mighty
changes; it has withstood triumphantly
the destroying hand of time; it is to-day
what it was 5000 years ago. Surely it IS a
noble metal worthy of all admiration
