After Judge Thoman's Scalp.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON Oct 5-There seems to be 8
determined effort on the part OF the local press,
a large number of Ohioans here, and people from
other States to crowd Judge Thoman off the
Civil-service Commission. All interest in the
affairs Of the Commission seems to be conferred
in seeing Thoman CO. No special reason is as
signed for the apparent antipathy to him. There
is a general impression, however, that both
Thoman and Gregory will be retained until Mr..
Eatons successor, who will likely be appointed
by Nov l. has mastered the service, and then
the old Commissioners will go at one time.

Fraudulent Land Entries.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.--The Commissioner of
the Land Office has been informed that the
operations of r. g. Bloo6eld. an Englishman,
manager of the Arkansas Cattle Company, re-
Gently convicted at Denver of procuring fraud
ulent entries upon public lands, were of the most
audacious character. All of the cowboys in his
employ were forced to make entries in his be-
half, and then he set up paper men" or, in
other words, made entries in the names of per-
sons who had no existence. His conviction it is
believed, will have wholesome effect on others
who have been guilty of like practices

Lvncbers in Pursuit. OF a Criminal.

CLAYTON, Del. Oct. 5.-A number of men,
well supplied with ropes and tackle, are securing
the country in this vicinity in search of Chas.
Robinson, negro who committed felonious
assault on Mrs. Orson Gardner, respectable
white woman The remembrance of the Neal
case Of four years ago, in which the perpetrator
of similar crime in the same neighborhood was
finally acquitted, is an incentive to resort to
lynch law in this case.

to reach the reservation he deserted to supply
himself with women, bucks and ammunition. A

Turkish Raids in Russian Territory.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct 5.-The continued raids
of Turkish marauders led by Turkish officers,
into transcaucasa have caused the Russian
newspapers to advocate the sending of a large

vent such incursions. The government of Err

Mid-Atlantic Stations.
London Graphic .

Once more the world hears of pre-
ject to establish stations in the Allan
tic where ships could stop, either to
take IN stores erto report by telegraph
to their owners, or to receive later or
ders as to destination. No one will
contest the usefulness OF such hating
places; the main question is whether
they would pay. Considerable diff
Guilty might be experienced, we imag-
1Re, Ia anchorlng at such enormous
depths, while it would require iul-
mensely strong vessels to stand the
blows of the great Atlantic pillows.
All this could be managed, however,
nor would there be much trouble in
inducing sailors to man the station
ships. But the outlay under one head
and another would needs be very
large, and we doubt whether the re-
ceiets would ever pay fair rate of in
terest. Perhaps some profit might be
made during the summer months by
allowing invalids to put up at the sta
tons. They would be sure to get an
abundance Of ozone and other whole
some products of the briny ocean.
while as there would be no postoffice,
no daily papers, no political speechi-
flying, and no organ grinders, their
minds would be at peace. If the pre-
motors Of the new undertaking think
well of the suggestion they cannot do
better than secure the Great Eastern,
which has just found purchaser, for
their principal oceanic sanitarium.
AS Brunel's gigantic ship is about the
size OF Heligoland, there would be
plenty OF elbow room for visitors,
even if they ''csme in their thous-
ands." There might be some Difficult
ty in anchoring the huge craft, but
that, as politicians say when they
wish to get over fatal difficulty, is
"a mere detail"

Street-CarS in Paris,
st. Louis Republican.

st. Louis Republican
The street Car system of Paris is as
nearly perfect as human ingenuity
can make it. The cars run on T irons,
about eight inches high, placed GA
concrete. This keeps them always
even. Hence, riding on a Paris car
is SO nOiseless that one can talk in a
whisper, and you can read your paper
without having your heart bounced
into your hat every now and then.
From the platform a steep stairway
leads to the top, where sixteen people
can find seats, an iron railing serving
as protection. AS soon as passenger
steps on the platform the fact is reg
istered by the conductor, When
every seat is full siga, Complete, u
is turned down, and no more will be
admitted. Hence, 40 one ever rides in
Paris car without a seat. It makes
no difference whether you have been
late through following dear Lambs
advice, to digest your dreams, you
have to wait. You may swear that
your house is on fire or your bull pup
has the mumps. You will just have
to wait. Of course, in such case one
of the fifteen thousand cabs in the city
will soon acccmm odate you for 25
cents. The fare is cents inside and
3 cents on top Of the cars. Every
half mile there is q station, where the
car stops. When the weather is bad
the cars become quickly crowded, and
you may see three or four of them go
by with the tantalizing sign Com
plete" hanging out. Then you go to
the station and take a ticket with
your number on it, When the car
comes the conductor calls one, two,
three, etc, according to the number
of places he has unoccupied. The re-
mainder eff passengers have to wait
for the next. There is NJ crowding,
no fussir e, and no left-handed Eng
llsh Haunted about. All goes serene
as Izaak Walton's fishing. Every
Frecnhman knows and obeys the
rules, and the American has to obey,
even though he may fire at the CON
ductor with Capt. Corcoran's "dam-
nit"
Paris has any quantity of fat wom-
en-. Fat9 They just roll! Talk about
your Billinsgate women; they are big,
but the women of the "Halles," the
great union market of Paris, can go
them one bigger. Well it's crying
funny to see one of these oily, fish
perfumed, cheese-streaked market
women get into car with bag of
live Holsters. With her face moribund
with fat and character" her little
beady eye sparkling with ready wit
and SNAP" she is just triumphantly
funny.

The PigtaII as a Brain Regulator.
Atlanta Constitution.

With population of 800, 900, 900
China has not single insane asy-
Ium.
This fact does not prove that there
are no lunatics among the Chinese,
but it shows that they are not numer-
Gus enough to make an asylum nee
essary.
To what do the Chinese owe their
exemption from brain disease? Vari-
Gus explanations are given. 1t is
said that the Monaghan enjoys men
tai repose. He does not fret and
worry. As MS religion has been es-
tabiished for thousands of years, he
let's it alone. He cares nothing about
politics. There Is no competition to
stimulate him. All the business Of
life is regulated by the government.
Doubtless all these things are onduc-
i've TO mental sanity. but The China
mans equipoise is probably due to his
pigtail more than to anything else.
It takes good Judgment and nice
sense of proportion to make and keep
ia order pigtail. It must hang even
" from the shoulders. 1t acts as q
sort of balance weight. Some mental
concentration is required to keep a
pigtail in order, and selflove, pride,
and methodical habits are all involv-
ed IN it. This may seem trihe, but
the human mind is controlled by
trifes.
Our Chinese friends perhaps buiideo
wiser than they knew when they first
twisted their pigtail

A Nice Question of Propriety.
New York Tribune.

In his recent admirable paper,
''The Twilight of the poets" Mr..
Stedman refrains from any estimate
of the poet Glider. The accomplished
critic comments upon all the other
recognized auxiliary voices of our
American choir, but touching Mr..
Glider he simply observes: "Of Mr..
| Gllder [ cannot speak here" Mr..
Steadman was writing in The Century,
of which Mr.. Glider is the editor, and
the formers silence in regard to the
! latter is only explainable on the pre-
sum ption that the editor declined to
allow q reference to himself to appear
IN The Century because he was It's
editor.
Mr.. Howells is contributing a novel
to Harper's, and in one of the recent
instal1ments introduces himself-Mr.
Howells, the novelist.
This is deliciously mysterious.
said Mrs. Amsden. II feel that we

ern novel," suggested Colville, ''if

Don't you think we ought to be
rather more of the great world for
that? I hardly feel up to Mr.. James.
I should have said Howells. Only

mo, he's very particular when he's

rising.
T. is obvious that Mr., Howells and
Mr.. Glider do rot agree when 1t comes
to the non enumerated proprieties.
Mr.. Howells naay regard MIR. Glider
as unduly sensitive, while Mr.. Glider
may hold that Mr.. Howells has shat
tered canon OF taste. 1t is interest
ing TO note that when Mr., Howells
was himself an editor he actually de-
clined-so it was started on trust
worthy authority at an Atlantic din
ner-one of his own contributions to
the magazine which he edited. This
gallant feat of self repression goes to
show that Mr.. Howells believes taat
an editor may properly have an i'm
personal relation to himself in virtue
of which as an editor he can decline
or accept his own productions precise.
~ as if they were those Of any other
contributor, and as a novelist can
refer to his own works for praise or
depreciation precisely as if they were
those of any other novelist,
Who has the right Of the matter

Howells under-sensitive2 It is CAPT
tai question for the debating societies

FOR HUSBANDS ONLY.
BY II. G. DODGE.

Tom Brown was always IN a fret
Because, somehow, he kept in debt.
Yet he imagined he was wise
And knew how to economic.
He earned enough to live with pride,
And lay little up beside.
Although he nothing spent for sport,
He borrowed and was always short"
20 Tom,'' his wife would say, "a man
Can't manage like woman cam
t'Do try me oEce, and soon you'll be
From horrid debts and worries free"
Tom only laughed, mo woman can
Finances handle like man.
AT length his debts and worries grew
So big he knew not what to do.
Then he in time to save his life,
Gave all his earnings to his wife.
"Now, wife, ne groaned in woe complete,
'See if GU can both ends make meet
Bright years now passed. Tom, freed from care
Waxed fat upon his Wifes good fare.
His debts were paid and laid away
Was something for rainy day.
What had rom's burden been in life
Was pleasure to his careful wife.

Mans forte is earning god alone;
In spending is his weakness shown.
A woman's forte by Nature meant
is taking care Of every cent.
And he who lets his wife do this
Will riches have and live in bliss.

TRADE AND COMMERCE..

Backwardness the Chief Characteristic In
Business--Prices Continue Steady.
In general trade there is little to note except
'backwardness, slow movements andlow prices
The usualearly spring reports Of damage to winter
wheat put in prompt appearance, and the Sc
Serity of the season gives coloring of truth to
them. There is. however, q large supply of old
wheat in the country, and, should the injury to
fall-sown wheat prove to DO general, an increased
area Of spring grain will mo doubt be put in. The
grouping of the mercantile failures for the past
three months of the year, as made by Brad
streets, showed larger number than for a like
portion of any preceding year since the statistics
have been gathered. For the first quarter of
significant feature of the reports is that large
per cent of the failures have been those of small
dealers. The suspensions during the next three
months are expected TO show decline in the
failure rate. and to verify the anticipations of
sounder business conditions. 1t Is q good time
to remember, for encouragement, the old saws:
'Its long lane that has no turning, and 1T is
always darkest just before day." Locally there is
little new to note. The provision market con.
tnues somewhat depressed The receipts of
hogs have been heavier which tended to aug
ment the depression existing The home trade
has been reported as dragging slowly, and aside
from somewhat better request for lard for ex
port there were no new features bearing on the
consumption Of products. In groceries there is
a fair distribution at unchanged prices There
Is better tone To the coffee market The stock
