His Conscience Disturbs Him.
Special to the Globe

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. IA
well-dressed man, apparently 40 years of
age, 0entered the governors Office last
evening, and, presenting a ticket to Jeffer-
sonville, said he intended returning at once
to prison. The Governor was very much
surprised and asked the stranger what h,
meant. The man said his name
was Coleman, and that he had escaped from
the Southern prison four years ago. He
lived at Evansville, and with others, was
convicted of attempting to swim
die an assurance company and SEN
fenced to three years at hard labor.
He was soon taken i'll and was sent to the
hospital, where he escaped in short time
He said to-day that he had travelled in sew
eral counties and had been engaged in
lucrative business, but he had seen his
family but two or three times since his es-
cape from prison, and then only as felon.
Il have determined to return to prison and
serve out my time, and then l can live in
peace" he said. The governor relied upon
Coleman's word and made no effort to have
him arrested here. He left Tonight for
Jacksonville to surrender himself.

New YORK, Aug. IA peculiar i'm

of the summer resorts. She is the wife of
a stationery dealer in this city, where she
lives in all comfort and considerable lux
ury, but during the months of July and Au-
gust of every recent year she has visited
Long Branch. Saratoga, Newport and the
Catskills in the guise of the authoress of
the novels written by an Irish lady whose
nom de plume is 1.-The Duchess" These
Stories though despised by the critics and
almost unknown to masculine readers, are
extensively dotted on by women, and they
sell so we'll that all the American publish
ers of cheap libraries pirate them prOftably.
OF course if the author were an American
her works could be protected here by copy
right. and her income in that case would
be, it is estimated, not less than $4,000 a
year; but as it is, she receives only trihing
sums for the advance proofs, the purchaser
thus getting the advantage of day or two

lions. The New York woman fits

1.-THE Duchess" secludes herself for two
hours day in supposed literary labor,
patronizes the susceptible girls, assures
them individually that they shall be heroines
of her future romances and is therefore
socially lionized. Her habit is to listen at
tentively to some sentimental episode, and
then declare it to be so thrillingly dramatic
that she really must transfer it to fiction.
This week she is in New York. Last week
she staid at the hotel Seabright, Long
Branch. Previously she figured at the
West End. She was extensively exposed
in the newspapers last year, but here she is
again as placidly audacious as ever Her
strong point this season is to read up the
opening chapters of Duchess" story that
is appearing in London as a serial, then
talk contidentially about it as work on
which she is still engaged in manuscript,
and finally, when it comes out here in a
complete form, present copies to her ac
quaintances. Her husband and a pretty
daughter are with her, and her imposture
does not, so far as can be learned. ever
take on the character of money swindle.

Congress to Adjourn on Wednesday

WASHINGTON, Aug 1.-The conferrees
on the sundry civil appropriation bill met
in the room in one of the senate commit
tees on appropriation at 10 o'clock this
morning. and remained together until 10
o'clock this evening, when they adjourned
to reassemble at 9 tomorrow morn
ing. The meeting of to-day was unex-
pectedly harmonious, the last previous
meeting having been characterized by OBJ
stinate assertions of determination on both
sides not to surrender the points at issue,
and by many emphatic and somewhat per-
sonal expression of opinion. The impress
sion prevails tonight that a brief session
tomorrow morning will result either in an
agreement upon all the points of differ
ences, or a conclusion to report back dis
agreement upon few reserved points for
further instructions. with probabilities in
favor of an entire agreement. The most
troublesome of the remaining points of diff
ference is found in the provisions for the
coast survey. The concessions made by
the respective sides to-day are said to be
about equal to each other in amount The

Several ball players talk Of getting up a
nine composed of Nelson of River Falls,
Sam Mcdowell of Hudson and Louis Moran,
John Noonan, Thomas Mccarthy, Sam
Register and other Saltwater men to play
the Red Caps at Saltwater next Sunday.
Moran would pitch and Nelson would catch.
No Saltwater boys can take Moran's balls
and it is believed that Nelson can do it.
If game is played between these two
clubs it will be very interesting. A good
female battery will appear at Saltwater

The Record.
Red Cans Victorious.

The Red Caps of ST. Paul defeated the
Saltwater club yesterday by score of
81 to 5. The game was almost as rank as
the game last season between the Saltwater
and female clubs. The game was called at
4 p M, and lasted two hours and twenty
minutes. The Saltwater nine made enough
errors to make picket fence around the
grounds. The Red Caps are the heaviest
men, and are entirely too much for the
home nine, especially the battery. At
many practice games the Saltwater boys
played much better than yesterday. When
the game was called about 800 spectators
were present, the majority of whom left
disguised before the game was half over.
Pat Eagan of the st. Paul club made two
home runs and would have made the third
had he not missed the third base. Will
Eagan made the longest hit on the ground
this season, and earned a home run. Myler
of this club also made home run. There
was considerable smuggling. Devlin of St.
Paul, who acted as umpire. gave entire
satisfaction. The positions were as fol-
lows:

patriots League"

CHICAGO, Dec. Cat n meeting
held yesterday afternoon to set on
foot a movement to cOuntcract the in
fiuence of the socialists and their
teachings, the name Patriots League"
was adopted. Gen. john l.. Thomp-
son was elected president and Col. ii.
w. Jackson treasurer. An executive
committee and committee on publica-
ton were appointed, and the following
platform and declaration of principles
and purpose were adopted:
"The primary objects Of this league
shall be
/. To support and defend the con-
stitution and the institutions OF the
national. state and municipal govern
ments, as administered through the
three necessary and well defined legis-
lative, executive and judicial depart
ments, which furnish channel through
which the order-loving and law-hon-
oring sentiment of the country can at
all times express itself and make its
convictions and strength known.
2. To oppose anarchy, socialism,
communism, mormonism and despot-
ism of all kinda, and all kindred social
and political hercsy that tend to de-
stroy the peace Of society and the au-
thority of the government, the sane
ton of law, rights of property, the
liberty of citizens and the sacredness
of the family; to serve due notice on
anarchists, socialists, and all similar
lists" and "isms," that human liberty,
as represented and protected by the
American free institutions. has cost
too much, and is too valuable, and Is
too sacred to allow it to be over
thrown. undermined, endangered or
desecrated by foreign agitators and
revolutionists, or demagO2ues of any
creed or description.
8. To disseminate sound views ana
practical and accurate information on
political, social and economic subjects
by ,reans of carefully prepared hooks
and pamphlets, to be published and
sold at bare cost of production and
distribution, and thus place means OF
political education within the reach OF
all. and promote and encourage the
study and rational discussion of social,
political aud economic questions by
the whole body of American citizens"

THE PRESS AND PUBLIC.

The letter from Mr.. Chacc pub
lished in this paper Saturday, COM
mending the course of the HERALD in
excluding certain indecent and de-
moralizing Geographic news reports,
suggests some thoughts on the rela-
ton of the press and public each with
the other, the sum and substance OF
which is that the press as a rule is
what the people make it. True, as Mr..
Chace says, the press is a power
which should be exertcd for good ;
il "shouid be the conservator of pub
lie morals. and not lend its influence
and facilities TO the dissemination of
demoralizing and positively injurious
literature"

GALVESTON, Dec. 6.-What is re-
garded here as an important test in
telephone inventions was made to-day
aud proved great success. The new
instrument is known rs the Bartlett

of S. II. Bartlett and w. w. helms,

The articula' ion was far more distinct
and perfect than over an ordinary

phone. Some dozen of the leading
citizens talked over to-day's circuit
and all agreed they had never held
more satisfactory conversations. The
new invention differs from the Bell,

ton coil and the helix of a

The Patronage issue.

ST.. LOUIS, Dec. 6.-llon. Jas. III.
Jones. of Henderson, Tex, who now
represents the third congressional dis
trict of Texas, but who was defeated
for the denomination by Capt. Kilgore,
was in the city yesterday on his way
to Washington. Mr.. Jones says he
was defeated because of dissatisfaction
in his district upon the patronage
question. lie said:
"The patronage issue was what de-
feated me, and it will be found that it
was the patronage issue that defeated
Mr.. Morrison, of Illinois. The pro-
tectionists merely combined the dissat-
isfled element against him.. Mr.. Will
lis, of Louisville, also was defeated by
the Couricr-Jo Journals opposition, be-
cause of the same issue"

construction all of us would put upon

and believes that Democrats
ought to occupy the offices. but
this is big country. and it would not

pended for disobeying the order with

thizer. Carlisle is u good man and

A GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.

The Fort Worth Gazette says great
deal in these few words:
Coal in Texas means great good 10

In Palo Pinto. Montague. Vice ana

diamonds are busy these days.
Nothing is needed in Texas more
than an abundant, ready and cheap
supply of good fuel; and the develop
nicnt of coal mines indhe State would
be the Inauguration of an era OF pros
perity in mandatory and railroad
building unprecedented in any State.
There are several cities in Texas
which would excel the far-famed Biz
mingham in industrial growth and the
rivalry of our own enterprising cities,
for the advantage in the beginning
would induce the investment in Texas
Of millions Of capital from the north
and east. The truth Of these remarks
will be acknowledged by oil, but the
question is how to bring it about how
the search for and development Of coal
saav be quickest prom oted.
The HERALD thinks that the mineral
wealth of Texas, believed by SO many
to be immense, can be positively de-
termined quickest by geological sur
vey by the State government. We have
such confidence in the magnitude of
the mineral wealth hidden in the rug
Qed hills of western Texas. and the
rocky regions of the east, that it be-
lievcs the tax income on increased val
ne and new wealth the first few years
after the discoveries of geological
survey would alone pay the expense
of the survey: and the other advan-
tagcs of cheap fuel, manufactures, and
better and cheaper transportation ia
cilities, would be incalculable. The
cost OF such survey would be from
six to twenty thousand dollars; that is,

Texas has grown and prospered
wonderfully on the development of
its agricultural and grazing re-
sources; and with these sources of
wealth the State needs only the de-

of progressive and wealth-producing
States. A geological survey would
be the first step i'm that direction.

Bob and Alf are familiar names in every house

1t has transpired that while Alf Taylor was in
Memphis he met a number of leading republicans

Since that consultation ALT has said every day upon
