VINcENNEs Nov. 5-Caris,e. in Sullivan
county, is considerably exercised over an in
famous affair which occurred several days ago,
which has eliminated in the arrest of four young
hoodlums One night recently e young girl got
off at the Evansville s. Terre Haute railroad
depot at Carlisle, twenty five miles north of this
city. She had intended to 60 to New Carlisle,
St Joseph county, but by a mistake in her di-
rections, and being unaccustomed to travel she
was sent to Carlisle, Sullivan county, small
place. When the girl left the train and inquired
for her friends she found that she had arrived
at the wrong town. She waited alone in the
depot all day for reply to a message she had
sent to her uncle in the northern part of the
State. No reply came. When night came she
asked that the waitingroom be lighted up at
the same time appealing to some person In the
station agents Office for protection against the
insults of several hoodlums who made it very
dsagreeable. When she asked the way to a res
taurant; young man stepped up and officiously
offered to take her to store where she could get
a lunch, and they were soon joined by another
y
place down the railroad track, to an old frame
building near coal-shaft. Two or three other
hoodlums joined them. bringing quantity of
whisky. The girl begged piteously to be let
alone, offering to give up what money she had,
but was informed that they were not after her
money. They took her by force back down the
railroad not needing her appeals to be let alone,
breaking open her valse and otherwise mistreat
ing her, to hay-press and kept her there AL
night. When released she was bruised and bleed
ing, and her clothes badly torn. She made her
way to neighboring house, made known her
situation, and was cared for. During the morn
ing she received word from Mr.. braves. at New
Carlisle, Ind, saying he had sent her money and
to come on home, whittier she went as soon as
she was able. She gave her name as Augusta
Folske.
The affair created great excitement in the viii
lage when it was known, and the young scound-
drels fed They remained away until they
thought the affair had been forgotten, when they
returned and Sheriff Willis, on Tuesday, arrest
ed them and placed them in Jail. The names of
the ruffians are William Tinsley, Samuel Fisk,
Samuel Trout, jr., and Alonzo Davidson. Fisk
released $500 bail, furnished by his
father. The rest are now in the Sullivan Jail,
and the case demands the most vigorous prose
cution.

To tho Western Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-The President this
afternoon appointed Mr.. Dorman B. Eaton to be
q member Of the Civil-service Commission in
place of MIR. Thoman, whose resignation was ac-
septed TO take effect March l. The Appointment

posed to appoint permanent successor to Judge
Thoman in a short time. Mr.. Eaton consented
to serve on the Commission for few weeks, in
order to assist the newly appointed Commission
ers in famiarlzing themselves with their du-
ties, and also to close up certain unfinished mat
tiers in which he is greatly interested. 1t is not
known who will succeed Mr.. Eaton, beyond the
fact that the new appointee will be Republican,
in full sympathy with civil-service reform.

Mexican Funeral Etiquette.

Funeral etiquette is vigorously ob- served to the minutcst particular by all classes in Mexico, and death in the family has been the financial ruin of many a man. Black garments must be worn for at least two years by every fe- male relative, even to remote cousins and little children, while male relatives, however distantly connected, must for an equal length of lime, wear broad bands of black flannel upon their straw or felt hats, black silk nechties and black gloves. not to mention the scarf of crape, with flowing ends, which IS kept tied above the elbow of the right coat sleeve for not less than six weeks after the funeral. Upon no account whatever must the ladies of the house. hold be seen anywhere in public during the two years of mourning. Jewelry and all adornmentS must be laid aside, letter paper and envelopes must con SpicuoGsly advertise the family atfilc- tion, and all the smallest signs of woe must be faithfully employed-even by those who could have had little interes in the deceased, or when, as sometimes happens, death could have brought nothing but welcome relief to all con
 cerned. = WaShington Repu6hcGaa.

Trees on the outside of an orchard are usually more prolific, there is more sunlight and air and the roots have a freer range.-Rurat NeD Yorker
 -One of the best ways to loosen a rusted screw, says an Eastern journal, is to apply heat to the head. A red-hot iron held at the head of the screw will render its withdrawal easy.
 Nursery carpets in which the designs represent tales in Mother Goose and fairy lore are supplements to the pie torial wall papers which have long been supplied to little ones.- Chicago Tunes.
 Railroad Cake: One cup each of sugar and flour, two tablespoonfuls each of melted butter and milk, three eggs, one teaspoonful of cream of tartar, and one half teaspoonful of soda. Flavor with lemon.-The Household.
 The whey that is left after making cheese is not sufficient food by itself for pigs or calves, but its deficiencies may be supplied by the addition of some bran or shipstuff; it is then passably good food for pigs or swine.-Troy Times.
 Veal Loaf for Lunch: Mince half pound of cold veal very fine, mix with it two ounces of bread crumbs that have been soaked in milk. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg and add beaten eggs. Put in buttered mould and boil for one hour. Serve cold.-T0tedo BlGde.
 The chief difficulty in teaching calves to drink from the pail arises from too great haste. Let the calf become hungry, warm the food to the tempera- ture of new milk, give it the finger to suck, but only far moment, and the calf is easily taught to drink.-Frdirie Farmer.
 A farmer in the oilregions of Penm- sylvania warns people against using petroleum on fruit trees and shrubbery. In the vicinity of flowing wells it kills all the trees; and an orchard in which the trees had been painted with it showed handsome bark and fine fruit the first year, but afterward declined.
 After washing and cleaning your bedstead, fill all the creviceS with com- mon bar soap, and rub it across the ends of the slats which are usually rough and make excellent nesting places. Put it also on any part of the wood or springs where bugs or eggs are found, and you will never find another in those places. Toronto Mail.
 On a portion of adulterated flour being placed in small quantity of chloroform the flour floats, while the alum or other mineral matter sinks to the bottom; so also, in similar way, alum in bread may be instantly detected by placing a small piece of the suspected loaf in solution of dog wood and am monia-the bread turning blue if any alum be contained in it.

 Many of the diseases of fruit trees may be due to lack of hardness on the part of special varieties. Formerly the old-time varieties were seldom attacked by disease. While many orchards oi Bartlett pears die out in few years, such is not the case with seedlings. There is q pear tree in Montgomery County, Georgia, now eighty-seven years old, which has not failed to bear g crop since it was seven years old. The tree is six feet in circumference, and its fruit resembles the sand pear in shape l and fiavor.-N r. Post.

A Valuable Discovery. -

Three statues have just been brough; to light from the cellars underneath the old Courts of Law at Guildhall, London, where they have been hidden for many years. They formerly stood in front oi GIiIdhall Chapel, and are life-size repre- sentations of King Edward VI, King Charles l., and his Consort Queen Hen rietta Maria. All three possess great artistic merit, the figure of Charles l. in armor being particularly effective. The statues are only slightly injured, and compare very ia, orably as works of arts with those -four in number) )removed from Temple Bar, which now stand close be- side them in the vacant ground behind the Guildhall.

American Seamen Ready to Risk Their
 Lives Without Reward.
 .I was crossing the North Atlantic once in mid-winter on a man-of-war, " said naval officer to reporter recent lv, swhen one stormy afternoon we sighted a Norwegian bark showing sig nals of distress. The most tremendous seas were running that 1 ever saw, but we lowered away a boat and sent her to the bark. She came back with the in- formation that the bark was loaded with grain and had sprung leak. The water had caused the grain to swell and had opened the seams of the vessel so that she was rapidly going to pieces. The Captain and crew wanted to be taken off. We sent two boats to the bark to take off the imperiled crew. It was most difficult and dan gerous task. Again and again it seemed as if the boats on the errand of mercy would be overwhelmed by the furious seas, but they were skillfully handled and after hours of toll and deadly peril, all except three of the sailors were taken off the bark. It was now growing dark. The storm was increasing in fury and it was evident the bark could not live the night out.
 "Our Captain called all hands ana made speech, telling them that three men were left on the bark. He said that he knew American sailors would never leave a fellow-being in distress, but that l.

Immediately there was rush for the boats by every officer and man aboard the man-of-war and the Captain had to call for volunteers to keep people from rushing into the boats and swamp ing them. A boats crew went of and brought the three sailors back in safety "-M Y. Tribune.

Men Who Have Sat CrosS-Legged anu
 Risen to Distinction.
 Tailors have been the butt of small wits and large wits for generations. It has come to be well-recognized fact on the stage that tailors have very red noses and very lean bodies. But the stage does not, in this respect, hold the mirror up to nature, for many tailors have fat bodies and fat purses.
 The village tailor who sits on his board and is popularly supposed to tie his legs up into a hard knot when working may be scorned by the rich, but the tailor who has the large store in the thoroughfare of a big city is mer- chant, and if he is wealthy is cordially welcomed by other wealthy men.
 There was & tailor Admiral in the En- glish navy and tailor Marshal in the German army. The latter had a wit as pointed as his needle A snobbish no- ble once asked:

As it is well known, there are two kinds ofwood fiber for paper-makers' use, viz: chemical, :" produced by chemical processes, and mechanical, or ground.
