The excavations made at Herculaneum. the fated
Italian city that buried beneath volcanic ashes in
the year A. D. 49, show that city life eighteen hundred
years ago very similar to what it is now. There
theaters, gymnasiums, public baths libraries
etc., same as have now. A base ball ground has
recently been discovered, and the remains of man
supposed to have been umpire of close game
were found buried under the home base. The score
of the last game played between the Pompean Red
Stockings and the Herculaneum Sockdolagers was
discovered chaked upon the blackboard, with note
appended to the effect that the Pompeans were the
worst kickers in the world We learn that telephone

The Nipigon,s violation of Law.

CHICAGO, June 5.-Regarding the seizure of
the Canadian schooner Nipigon at this port for
infraction of United States laws, the Inter
Ocean says: Collector Seberger expects to
hear from the Secretary of the Treasury to-day,
but he has no idea what action the department
will take. The custom house officials are in
clned to regard the violation of the law
by the Nipigon as serious matter
because of the arbitrary attitude of
the Canadian government toward Ameri-
can vessels which violate Canadian laws
The wholesale seizure of American tugs on the
Detroit river for no reason but that they en-.
deavored to assist American vessels in distress in
Canadian waters, and the recent seizure of
American fishing vessels on the Atlantic coast
by a revenue captain whose rank was too ex-
alted to submit to any argument from plain
American skipper, have created good deal of
feeling among vessel men, and many of them
threaten to exert themselves to have the depart
ment enforce the law If this Is
done the Nipigon will be forfeited to
the United States and sold to the
highest bidder. The same disposition will be
made of the cargo Similar violations of the
entry law are on record in the custom house.
but they have always been generously over
looked by the Secretary of the Treasury, and
the vessels were saved to their owners Captain
Canlan. in his affidavit explaining his negligence
In not running into CheDoygan, to obtain from
the collector there the necessary permit to enter
Lake Michigan, says he could not have done so
without endangering the lives of his crew. and
the safety of his vessel He says the wind was
blowing hard, a big sea was running, and a
thick fog shut out a view of the land
The vessel was leaking badly, in fact
all her pumps were required 20 keep her afioat
at all. Several members of the crew yesterday
filed affidavits to this same effect and they will
all be forwarded to Washington by Collector
Seeberger The Nipigon is not exactly under
seizure, but she will not be permitted to leave
port until Acting Secretary Fairchild has rem
dered decision in her case. 1t seldom happens
that Canadian is mulcted DELAYED for
violation of American laws, and it is thought the
Nipigon may escape this time"

Logansporrs laundering Council.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
LoGANsPoRT, Ind. June 5.-This city has the
prize Democratic Council and, if it keeps up It's
gait there is no telling where it will land itself
and the city. 1t is composed of new members,
all unskilled in the tactics usually employed in a
municipal legislature. They grew wild and reck-
less Thursday night, and. in falling and stumb-
ling around, did something never before heard
of in Democratic municipal government-voted
away their own salaries, and did not know it un-
til after it was done and Council adjourned
One week ago the salaries of all the city off,
cials were fixed, and the city treasurer's salary
fixed at 81, 600. In view of the fact that he is
compelled to hire deputy. this was not thought
sufficient by the Republican members of the
Council. and. with the assistance of one Demo
cratic member-the others being soured on the
treasurer-the vote fixing his salary was recon
sidered, and the same was raised $780,
THIS made the other Democratic members
angry, and they reconsidered all votes fixing
salaries separately and raised them indiscrm-
inately. When the councilmen's salaries were
reached, the vote fixing them at last meeting
was reconsidered and motion made to place
them at $3.50 in cash. Before the vote could be
taken some one made motion to adjourn,
which was carried They had abolished their
salaries, and as they cannot be fixed after the
first month, the members will have to serve the
city for nothing the next year. 1t is con-
sidered the prize blunder in the history of the

Not Moral Reformers.

HARRISBURG, June 5-The attendance at the
sixteenth annual international Conference of
Young Mems Christian Associations is increas-
ing. the number of delegates having swollen to
25O. New York. Pennsylvania, Illinois, Massa-
chusetts and Ohio are particularly well repre-
sented. To-day resolution offered by I. E.
that while they recognized the conference as a
great necessity. there is room for persistent
effort to promote personal purity among the
body and they deem IL unwise and contrary to
the well-establshed principles formulated for
the guidance of Young Mems Christian Associa-
tions by the international conventions of the as
sociations as such. to adopt the methods of the
White Cross Army and other societies, and that
while the conference sympathized with all efforts
for the improvement of the moral condition of
men, it is still of the opinion that it is unadvsa
Bile for the associations to engage in any organ
lied efforts for moral reforms.

the West, yesterday, that said that Sullivan had
been roaring drunk all the week. and that his
conduct was shameful No ordinary man could
have stood such dissipation and have lived TO tell

with Mitchell will take place this month, or at
any time. Sullivan is willing of course. to have

and, for that matter so is Mitchell. But Sullivan
does not trust Mitchell. He Is willing to
have settled number of rounds with him
providing that Mitchell will consent to be pounded
just little and to popndsa little in return.
Mitchell will agree to the scheme, too. But that
is not all. Mitchell is the vainest man in the
pugilistic ranks, and the one dream of his life
was to down Sullivan. Heis the only man who
ever stood up to Sullivan. when Sullivan was at
his best. and the only man who ever foored him.
Mitchell is brainy fighter. and is heavier than
he used to be, and cleverer, too as far as that is
concerned. In training for fight with Sulli-
he would devote his whole time to getting
into shape, and would face the big one in prime
condition. Then, Mitchell is tricky. IL he saw
chance of beating Sullivan he would take 1t
lovingly, agreement or no agreement, and make
his dream a reality. In fight to finish with
hard gloves, believe that Mitchell would stand
good chance of whipping Sullivan. and then,

HENRY WARD BEECHER.

He VIII Go Abroad for Recreation, and Will
Tender His Services to Gladstone.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
New YORK, June 5-Henry Ward Beecher is
seriously ill, and he will preach week from to-
morrow what he firmly believes will be his last
sermon in Plymouth Church. He expects to die
of an apoplectic stroke before long. That has
been his conviction for year, and he has talked
it to his intimate friends repeatedly In 80
thinking he has been influenced by his physical
temperament, his failing health, his old age and
his family tendencies. In conversation on tine
subject he has been cool, calm and cheerful, but
utterly hopeless of surviving the year. Deacon
John Howard, his closest personal friend and
constant companion, recently called meeting
of the Plymouth deacons and spoke to them of
their pastors feebleness. 1t had been Beechers
annual custom to continue preaching until the
end of July, and then take a vacation extending
we'll into September, on account OF recur-
renee of hay fever early in the autumn.
But Deacon Howard represented that the
venerable clergyman would have to stop work at
once or break down at it. His naturally strong
constitution was evidently giving way to ages
iafrmties, and premonitions of apoplexy were
manifest. The deacons voted unanimously that
VI vacation ought to begin at once, and last until
October The trustees in whom the power re-
ally rests, have now agreed to that proposition,
and last evening the matter was laid before the
congregation for approval. Mr.. Beecher has de-
cided to go to Europe on June IL, accompanied
by his wife, He hopes that Gladstone will ap-
peal to the voters of England in an election for
Endorsement of his home rule for Ireland policy
in which case he will take the stump for him.
His advisers abjure him to do no speaking
abroad but to rest entirely but ne says that
political oratory in England would be recreation
and he has already written to Gladstone-with
whom he has for twenty years been in occasional
spondence-tendering his services should
they be desired. He thinks that such employ
ment would help rather than hinder him in
health, and he is thought to be ambitious to
make his mark once more as an orator before he
dies
About noon to-day a rumor became current in
the city that Mr.. Beecher had died during the
morning, but investigation revealed that the re-
port was baseless.

believe that it has been the financial ruin
of more men than-perhaps all-other
causes. 1 think that our young men, es-
pecially, should study the matter carefully
in all its bearings, and adopt some settled
policy to govern their conduct, so as to be
ready to answer the man who asks them
to sign his note. What responsibility does
one assume when he indorses note ?
Simply this: He is held for the payment
of the amount in full, principal and interest,
if the maker of the note, through misfor-
tune, Encouragement or rascality fails to
pay it. Notice, the indorser assumes all
this responsibility, with no voice in the
management of the business, and no share
in the profits of the transaction if it prove
profitable; but with certainty of loss if
for any reasons stated the principal fails to
pay the note.

The Local Newspaper.

The new year is good time to consider
the generally overlooked claims of the local
newspaper. 1t is the most useful and the
least compensated and appreciated of all
the agencies which stamp the impress of
progress upon the villages and inland cities.
Without the local newspaper local towns
are, as a rule, thriftless and tend to decay.
The local newspaper is the life of its local
ity, and the measure of its support, as a
rule, measures the advancement of the peo-
pie. Begin the new year by not only sub
scribing but paying for your local news
