Turning an Honest Penny BIZ Circulating
Campaign Documents.
Special to tue Indianapolis JournaE.
WASHINGTON, March 6-Pages in the Senate
and House have begun to reap their little harvest
of speculation in the way of placing prominent
political speeches. When a member delivers a
speech that attracts a good deal of attention and
contains desirable sentiment to be indicted into
a campaign a page Is sure to 60 around to that
member and secure the privilege of disposing of
the speech to other members who want it for
distribution in their district For instance, the
speech delivered by Colonel Henderson, of
Iowa, in the House. a few days ago, on pension
legislation, was considered by the Republican
members as a capital thing to send out into close
districts, so a page solicited the Republican
members until he had orders for manv thousand
copies of IL. They took from 500 to 5. 900 copies.
The speech can be franked. giving it free distri-
button. and will be read by more than 100, 900
voters, in all probability.
The Government Printer furnishes copies of
speeches, reports. ETC., for III per cent above actual
cost Of paper and press work. The pages charge
the members subscribing for the speech or re-
port o slight advance from this. look after the
delivery of the copies. and thereby make money.
A page told me the other day that he made $40
in one day off orders for one speech. Some
times, when the orders are very large, the work
is taken by a private printer, who does it cheaper
than the government.

SHIT against the A. r. stewart Estate.

NEW YORK. March 6-Alexander Stewart,
the Vermont farmer who claims TO be an heir of
the dead millionaire of the same name, has filed
a complaint in equity in the United States Court

Convict Laborers Ordered Away from Coal
-Mines-Troops Ordered to the Scene.
LOUISVILLE, KY, March GA special to the
Times says: Governor Knott sent a special
message to the Legislature at Frankfort this
morning. stating that he has just received Motif
cation from Louis Craig State inspector, in
charge of the convict camp at Greenwood, Pu-
aski county, telling of the desperate state Of
affairs in the mines. The convicts arc worked
there, and yesterday 200 orderly, armed. free
miners. in a body. informed the inspector and
Mr.. cambridge, one of the convict
.essees, that that they would be given
two hours to take the convicts and
property away. as they intended to burn all the
buildings in the camp. They said they did not
desire to resort to violence. but would 10 so if
necessary. The inspector asked for two days,
and his request was granted. The inspector tel
egraphed the Governor to either send troops at
once or order the removal of the eonvicts before
Sunday noon. as the free miners were desperate
and determined. At 2 o'clock the Governor or
dered five companies of State militia to the
Greenwood mines, to protect the c~onvicts and
State property.
Governor Knott this afternoon issued a proc
lamation commanding the people OF Pulaski
county to keep the peace and ordering the mob
to dispense. Two hundred convicts are employed
in the mines. Trouble is expected tomorrow,
when. the free miners swear, they will destroy
the convict camp. The ~convicts are at present
guarded in their quarters. The Greenwood
mines are six miles from the Cincinnati South
ern road. and are owned by capitalists in Lon
don. Cincinnati, Lexington and Danville.

LYNCHING IN NEW JERSEY.
a Brutal Outrage on q Woman Followed by
Speedy and Terribly Punishment.

EAToNTowN, N. j., March 6-Sam johnson, a
negro, aged sixty-fve, was lynched last night
for assaulting and outraging a young white girl,
the nineteen-year-old daughter of Henry Her
bert. The young woman was returning home,
last evening, about dusk. On arriving near her
home. at Maps Mills, about a mile out of town,
she passed the negro. He turned and struck her
a severe blow on the head with an axe which he
carried. He then brutally outraged her, and left
her unconscious and nearly dead. She was
found half an hour later and taken to
her home near by. The neighborhood was
soon aroused, and every abie-bodied man in the
vicinity turned out to hunt for the criminal. He
ran into the woods. and from thence ventured to
go to his home in South Eatontown, where he
has a wife and four grown children. The
Wheeler boys, strong and active men. of Eaton
town, went to his home about 8 o'clock last
night, and after a severe struggle, bound the
negro and proceeded toward the town Jail In
Eatontown. While on their way they met a big
crowd of citizens. who could barely be prevented
from killing the culprit then and there. but his
captors succeeded in locking him up, though not
until he had been terribly beaten with clubs.
Later he was taken from the Jail and hanged to
the grating over the Jail door.

THE PET OF THE HOUSE.

A Beautiful Page Whose Hair Is Being Dis-
placed by the Caresses He Receives
Specia! to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-There is a sunny
haired little page in tho House of Representa-
tives who has become quite a pet among the
members. He is a little tot of a fellow, with a
bright. open face, large blue eyes and sunny
blonde head of hair. He wearg little knee
breeches, and is as lively as a cricket at all times.
When the members want an errand done fast
and we'll they always try to get this little fellow
to do it. His very politeness and good manners
have brought many little tramps to his feet. be-
cause the members ali want him. But he does
not mind an extra run. and goes as chirpy and
as happily on a new GRAND as possible. He
never seems to grow weary, and always is po-
lite. But this is not the worst part of Lis troub-
les. His very appearance is pleasing. and every
time anyone secures him. they tap him on the
head, or run their hand over his hair. Now for
three or four people to do this would not amount
to much, but to have 325 members and as many
more strangers to rub his head only once a day,
it is not only tiresome but is having q serious
effect. When the little boy came here his hair
was long and thick, but this continual patting
and rubbing is wearing his hair off. He begins
to fear that before the session ends, if this thing
keeps up, he will be bald. His very size is so
convenient that ones hand naturally falls on his
head. / did it to-day. and noticed at once how
thin his hair was getting.

JONES AND HIS LOVES.

A Boston Girl who Was Driven from the
Capital. by the Senator's opportunities.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-Now that all the
world is laughing at Senator Jones, of Florida,
and his unsuccessful attempt at winning a bride,
it may be interesting to know that this is his Sec
ond attempt at laying siege to a young lady's
heart by storm. l was talking to a Bostonian
the other day, and he told me about a similar ex-
plot to the present one at Detroit in which the
Florida Senator figured. There happened to be
a very pretty young lady. of Boston, who visited
this city several years ago. and she met Senator
Jones, of Florida He fell in love with her, and
grew quite attentive. The young lady, however.
did not care for him, and told him so when he
asked her If she did. So persistent did he become
that she left the city and went home. Several
days after her arrival he turned up in Boston.
She first learned Of his presence by receiving an
immense bouquet of f~orgetme-nots and his card.
Then he called. For days he continued hisde-
votion. She tried every means to get rid of him,
but he persisted. 1t was during the recess of
the Senate. and his absence was not missed.
Finally the young lady went AWAY to the sea-

THE GALVESTON BOYCOTT.

Tho Railway Companies Discharge Knights
Who Refuse to Handle Mallory Freight.
GALVESTON, Tex. March 6.-The Knights of
Labor at the Gulf, Colorado g Santa Fe railroad
freight depot refused to handle Mallory freight,
an9 were displaced this morning by colored la
borers. At the Missouri Pacific yard, very few
Knights observed the boycott. and none were
discharged. Both companies have a number of
colored men selected, with a view of replacing
the Knights as fast as they depart. Such
changes will be permanent. Rumors of an inn
pending general strike of the Knights through
out Texas are current here and elsewhere
in the State. Indications point to an understand
ing on the part of the Knights TO quit work gen
orally on Monday morning on all railroads car
rying Mallory freight. There is considerable
dissatisfaction in the ranks of the local Knights,
especially those employed in the great compress
establishments. Master Workman Golden, of
:his tthe Seventy-eighth] district assembly,

They Subscribe One Million Dollars to Fight
the Knights of Labor.
Providence Or. ID Special.
The Knights of Labor have only recently ac-
CURED formidable strength in Rhode Island. and
their influence has led to the formation of an or
ganization of the manufacturer of textile goods.
The recent introduction of a bill in the State
Legislature which prohibits the infection of fines
and penalties by manufacturer for bad work by
employees has been attributed to the Knights,
and has aroused the already dissatisfied employ
ers. There is no probability of the bill passing,
but the manufacturers both of cotton and wooden
goods, representing over $75. 900, 900 capital. took
the alarm and resolved. as one prominent gentle
man said to-day, ito fight fire with fire." Sew
eral informal meeting have been held, but this
morning a gathering took place in this city
which was unequaled in point of financial
strength and personal influence by any business
conclave ever known here. The condition of af-
fairs was discussed, and then the representatives
Of the manufacturing concerns of the entire
State signed a paper pledging each corporation,
or employer, to the amount of 5 per cent. of the
pay-rolls; the fund to be used to maintain the
interests and we'll being of Rhode Island manu-
facturers." Payments are to be made in re-

total amount subscribed. calculated from a close
estimate of the aggregate of the pay-rolls. is up

q picture Of his return from Florida In my hear
ing this afternoon that would have made Tom
Ochiltree feel unhappy 1t would need a column
to do that tale justice He begins with a descrip-
ton of the pale. sad-faced invalids at Jackson

start to ones eyes. Then he boards the train
for the North. He helps the invalids of various
degrees into the cars. For forty hours no lives
stantly being sent ahead for collins and ice-boxes.
He consoles this one. and by sheer vital force
keeps another hopeless invalid alive till Rich
mond is reached. The temperature in the car is
maintained at eighty degrees, but the train
strikes q cold wave in Virginia, and two of the
most promising cases expire on his hands. The
fight becomes a stampede. Hope vanishes. and
he finally crosses Long Bridge with a car full of
corpses. So many messages. trinkets and locks
of hair have been given him that he fears he
has forgotten or mislaid some of them. He is
threatened with insomnia, and. therefore, hates
to 90 to bed.

WASHINGTON SOCIETY MEN.

A Business That Can Be Conducted ON a Sur
prisingly Small Capital.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
W~AsHINGToN, March cit doesn't require
much capital to be an ordinary society man in
Washington. The furnisher's and the tailor's
outfits afford the greatest hardships. I have
seen scores of young men here who make 81, 200
to $1,000 a y ear who can show nothing but a
dress suit and some linen, a variety of walking
sticks and few pairs of pointed shoes as the re-
suit of years of toll. I have seen, too. able
bodied young men, with soft dreamy eyes and a
soft, empty head, who have the same outfit and
who share the income made by their mother and
sister in a department-an income far below that
named for the society man who works instead of
his mother or sister. So there is little difference
in them.
There are hundreds of society dudes here who
60 OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES there is no expense at
tached-and look like the sons of noblemen, who
do not earn fifty dollars in a year, but who live
off the income of a relative and make a display
on $40 or 500 a month. This is pin money" but
it is all they have. In society in Washington
one does not know. by appearance or by words,
the sons of millionaires and the sons of the
INDECENT apart. They all look. talk and act
alike.
