As this question n frequently asked. we
will simply say that she Is lady who for
upwards OF forty years has untiringly de-
voted her time and talents as q female ply
sician and nurse. principally among chill
dren. She has especially studied the con-
stltution and wants OF this numerous class.
and as a result Of this effort and practical
knowiedg obtained in q lifetime spent as
a nurse and physician, abe has compounded
a SOOTHING SYRUP for children teething.

Mrs. Winslow Is becoming world renowned
as q benefaetor OF her race. Children eer-
tsinly do RISE Up and bless her. Especially
IL this the case In this city. Vast quantities
OF the SOOTHING SYRUP are DAILY sold

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WAsHTNGToN, Oct. 13.-It is believed by many
Indianians here that the nomination of Charles
Forester, of Indianapolis, to be consul-general to
Calcutta will be defeated in the Senate on
charges relating to his career in this city.
G. NJ. Miller, of Indianapolis, a railway mail
employee, has preferred additional charges against
Superintendent Burt, of Cincinnati. Among
other things, he alleges that during Mr.. Blaine's
visit to Indiana, in the campaign of last year, a
postal clerk named d. w. Knefer decorated a
mail car at Richmond, one day, with Blaine flags,
banners, bunting, etc, and that when it was re-
ported to Superintendent Burt the latter ap-
proved Kefer's act, and Knefler said, upon hear
ing about the charges, that he didn't care. and
that if he had it to do over again, he would do
no different, which remark was also approved
by Burt The Jefferson Democratic Club, of
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1885-10-14

mortally offended the great powers by his action
in annexing Eastern Roumelia without asking
their permission. He has forgotten that he was
q puppet, and has acted as though he We're really
a king Whatever may be the fate of the Bull
garian union, Prince Alexander must be dis
ciplined. and the most probable form of punish
1nent is dethronement. His throne is wanted for
Prince Waldemar, despite the denials from PAN
Slavist sources. The rumor is general and por-
sistent at St. Petersburg that the young DANISH
prince will soon succeed Alexander as the King
of united Bulgaria. The King of Denmark Is
known to have greatinfuence over his son-ln-!aw.
the Car, and it is positively asserted by certain
wellinformed diplomates that the former has
secured from the Gar the reversion of the Bull
garian throne for Prince Waldemar. The Car
has now been visiting for several weeks at the
court of his father-inlaw. and there has beer
ample time and opportunity for perfecting
this arrangement. 1t is natural to suppose
that King George. Of Greece, is also thoroughly
In favor or providing a throne for his brother,
Prince Wa!demar, and recent events in Greece
exactly fit this theory. There was a probability
that Turkey and the powers would accept the
bulgarian union. Under Alexanders rule, as a
fait accomrli. This would not suit those who
are seeking Alexander's throne for Waldemar.
10 prevent ii, it was necessary that there should
be real or pretended outbreaks in the western
and southern portions of the Balkan peninsula.
These would call for the Intervention of the
powers to prevent a general confiagration in
European Turkey. Then, when it was found
that everybody would be pacified by the depo-
sition of Alexander and the elevation of Waldo
mar, that change could easily be made. This
programme seems now to be in process of full
fllment. The lead has been taken by Greece
and Servia. Either of them could be crushed
by Turkey, but their Simultaneous action, to-
gether with fears for the peace of Albania and
Macedonia, demands Intervention. Many inter
ests would be served by the elevation of Prince
Waldemar to the Bulgarian throne, and it is
quite possible that this may be, at least for the
present, the solution of the whole problem.

Justice Miller Will Not Retire.

Washington Special.
The statement published that Justice Miller,
of the Supreme Court, intended retiring this
winter on account of i'll health, has no founda-
ton whatever. Judge Miller is one of the most
vigorous and healthy men on the Supreme
bench, and has not been in better health for
fifteen years than he is to-day. Hecould not retire
before next April if he desired, as he is not old
enough to retire under the law. He has given
no intimation to anyone of mis- iakention to
retire at that time. He is one of the most rad
ical Republicans on the bench, and has been
prominent in all the leading decisions of a polit-
ical nature since the legal-tender case. He
wrote the opinion of the court in the celebrated
slaughter-house cases, and has written a large
proportion of the consolidated opinion of the
court.

AFFAIRS AT THE CAPITAL.
Virginia Politicians Far from Pleased
with the Appointment Of Curry.
Anxiety of Acting Superintendent Thorn to
Succeed llilgard in the Coast Survey
0ffice-The Public Printing Office.
The appointment of Mr.. Curry Will Cause
Hard Feeling.

Washington Special.
Mr.. Curry, the new minister to Spain, was not
recommended by any of the Virginia delegation
in Congress. He has been out of politics for a
number of years. He is a tall, angular man,
with the air of reserve of a college professor.
He dislikes society, and is not at eass except in
his study. None of the Virginians consider him
a true representative of that State any more
than was Mr.. Kelley. He did not come to Vir-
ginia to reside until after the late war. He
married, soon after taking up his residence in
Richmond, a Miss Thomas of that city. The
Thomas family was very rich. His wife, since
the marriage. has inherited a very large fortune.
The family was very religious. Mr.. Curry has
always been considered a religious man, but IL is
understood that he became ordained as a minis
ter out of compliment to the wishes of his wife.
1t is said that he has never had a regular charge
and has never preached. Several years ago the
rich friends of the Thomas family pushed him
forward for the secretaryship and agency of the
Peabody trust fund. The salary of this place is
s., 5000 a year. In addition to this, he has been
president of the Richmond University, which is
a theological institute.
Everybody from Virginia is of the opinion that
Mr.. Curry is an able man, and has high character
and sufficient ability to discharge the duties of
his new position respectfully. Outside Of politi-
cal considerations they say that there is very lit
tie to ~criticise in the appointment. Mr.. Curry
has been an admirer of Mr.. Bayards for some
years, as was Mr.. Kelley. They think that if Mr..
Bayard wished to compliment Virginia he should
have taken some representative Virginian, some
one of the old families that have been long
identified with her history. If he had desired to
go outside of the politicians and recognize the
educational institutions of Virginia, they think
he would have done well to have taken GUSTS
Lee, the son of zen. Robert E. Lee and the
president of the Washington and Lee Univer-
sity. AS one very well known Virginian said to
me last night, Il like Mr.. Curry. know him
to be an honorable, upright man. But it is very
hard for our leading men, who have fought for
so many years in Virginia to save that State
from hell in the shape of Malone and his
crowd, to be ignored. Most of our Vir-
ginia leaders are poor. Such an Office as
the Spanish mission would have been very
grateful to at least a dozen of our represent
atlve men. To take a man who was rich
already. and in a most comfortable position in a
State where poverty is the rule, will also cause
hard feeling. Mr.. Curry never took part in any
of the campaigns in Virginia, except once. That
was when the McCulloch bill for funding the
debt was up as an issue in the State. Mr.. Curry
then made one or two speeches on the side Of
the debt-payers."
