How the Ohio Statesman Attempted to Re-
lieve George A. Sheridan.

How the Ohio Statesman Attempted to Re-
lieve George A. Sheridan.
Carp" In Cleveland Leader.
There Is q good story about Senator Shermans
private flask. which has never been, to my
knowledge, in print before. Several years ago
the Senator aud General Sheridan, the cele-
brated Louisiana stump orator, were campaign
ing together. Sheridan likes good liquor, and
always samples the brands kept at the towns he
Visits. One night Sherman and he spoke in a
small. order-loving village, and when the meet
ing was over he attempted to get drink of
whisky. He learned, to his dismay that there
was not q saloon in the town, and that the drug
gists even refused to sell without physicians
prescription. Sheridan stormed from one end
OF the hamlet to the other in quest of citizen
midnight he returned to the hotel and raped up
Sherman. The Senator. on learning who it was.
opened his door and admitted the thirsty and
excited Southerner.
'"This is the most God-forsaken hole have
ever been in," said he, as he strode across the
floor I've been looking for something to drink
for two hours he continued, 'but I'll be blanked
if can find drop of anything, not even cider.
l have walked all over the town and have asked
hundred people. men, women and children,
just for a smell of whisky. but they told me that
there. was none to be had for love or money.
Now, Sherman" he asked. almost piteously,
what am / to do2n
The Senator's surprise equaled the Generals
disgust. He could not improve the situation.
and he informed Sheridan to that effect.
Look here, Sherman" said the wretched
Louisianian; you must surely have a bottle.
No Sane man should travel without supply of
good whisky or brandy, and know you have a
snug little bottle in your bag. Give me taste
of it, and will get the flask reflled at the next
place we stop"
The appeal was delivered in such pathetic
spirit that Sherman weakened. He went to his
valse and took from it an ounce vial and a
spoon, both of which he handed Sheridan with
the remark: Here. General. help yourself
sometimes carry a little whiskey for medicinal
purposes. You are welcome to some if you
really need it."
Sheridan mechanically took the vial and
spoon. His amazement for the time nearly
made him speeches.. He looked at the spoon
and bottle for while, and then took in Sherman
Great euns!' he exclaimed, at last this short
bottle for that long mani" With that he flung
the vial across the room and rushed out.

League Club for Indianapolis.

The officers Of the Indianapolis Base Ball As
ISOLATION met last night and subscribed $40, 900
to engage players and arrange for a club in this
city for next season. This action was taken
on the strength of assurances from the
officers of the National League that Indianapolis
would be admitted as the eighth club in that or
ganization. The other League clubs, if the ar
rangement goes through, promise to assist this
club in securing competent players. and,
if necessary, will lend indianapolis the
men to start in with. The League
committee having matters in charge meet in
New York tomorrow, when Indianapolis will
doubtless be admitted to membership.

An Apostle Of the Faith Cure Fails to Heal a
Blind Street AIendicant.
Philadelphia Times.


Blind Street AIendicant.
Philadelphia Times.
A long, lean, lank cadaverousooking man,
with long gray hair and beard and very thin
clothes, yesterday. approached blind man at
the southwest corner of Thirteenth and Market
streets who was peddling lead pencils. The
stranger scanned the features of the blind man
for some time. and at length said:
Brother, art thou totally biindl'
"Yes," answered the pencil merchant
"Hast never tried to be healedE"
mo use" replied the other MY eyes were
burnt out in powder-mill explosion"
IF thou hast faith thou canst be healed" said
the stranger. Let pray"
By this time crowd had gathered round the
pair, and lively interest was manifested in the
proceedings. The apostle of faith cure knelt
down and offered a long PRAYER for the blind
man, while the crowd kept increasing until il
nearly blocked up Thirteenth street. After
prayer the ancient arose and went
through a series of gyrations similar to a
mesmerist. He made all manner of passes in
the air with his hands, and finally took hold of
the man, rubbed his eyes, slapped his back,
pnched his cheeks and asked him il he could
see. To the great disappointment of the audi
ence he replied that he could not. The faith
cure man was about TO begin his performances
again, when policeman came up and ordered
him to move on. The apostle went off bemoan-
ing the lack Of faith in Israel, while the crowd
took pity on the blind man. and purchased his
entire stock of pencils.
"Cranks are of some use, anyway muttered
the blind man, as he went off to purchase a new
stock of merchandise

A Sample Literary Club at Which Washing
ton People Seek to Improve Themselves.
Letter in Pttsburg Dispatch.
One of them, which discussed French His
tory" the other evening, was such fair sample
of the majority of Washington clubs that it de-
serves complete report. 1t has twenty mem
bers, and meets twice month TO push along it's
studies Five members read papers at each
meeting. and the balance are supposed to listen
or criticise the next meeting another detail of
FIVE do the work, and so on until the end Of the
fourth meeting when the number is exhausted
and the original FIVE have to commence
the series again. On this occa-
sion the proceedings opened formally and
solemy, as If great deal of the bureau of his
tory was resting on the shoulders OF the unfortu-
mates who were going to make the remarks.
They were scattered throughout the room to
give them courage, and eyed the first reader in a
way that must have made her blood run cold.
Nobody made interruption by talking. The la
dies seemed to afectNthe right side of the room.
and the gentlemen the left, and naturally there
was nothing to be said. One gentleman no.
ticed trying to smile across at a pretty young
lady with wavy brown hair, but the return he
got was such chilling glance from the presiding
lady that even the standard historic jokes failed
to move him from his melancholy for the bal
ance of the evening.
1t is hardly necessary to reproduce the French
history contained in the papers. Though some
of it was positively new, and much was start
ling. the tendency on the part of everybody was
to stick to some author unfnchingiy, and give
out his statements as their own without qualifi-
cation or objection; and as everybody seemed
to have read some different authors, there was
enough conflict of opinions TO have made war if
anybody had listened to them. This fortunate
~, nobody had done, and the evening ended
very pleasantly around big table in the dining
room. One of the members told me afterwards
that it was not so much what they said as what
they read in finding it out which made up the
benefit of the society, and was not disposed to
argue the point with him.

Shelby Times tDem.l

When the good and decent people of "Old
Shelby county" come to find out why there is
opposition to Murphy and Lang at Indianapolis
and why that opposition should originate and be
fostered in Shelbvville. and be made a promi-
neut feature in their county papers. then there
will be food for reflection. We haven't much
time to waste on this fruitless topic, but we are
loaded with facts. and have proof most positive
that there is dog in the we'll. We are in pos
session of sufficient material, furnished us by a
resident of the Capital City. to make the recital
of this subject rich, rare and very race. 1t will
be published as serial story, interlarded and
sandwiched with many facts that will let ray
of sunshine into the true animus of the business.
The whole story can be told and embellished in
such manner as to make somebody howl with
pain and remorse. Every dog has his day.

washington Letter.
This Kansas senator. not content with striking
at gambling in the army, has prepared an
amendment to the Constitution of the United
States which forever prohibits the manufacture,
importation and sale of all distilled and fer
mented intoxicating liquors as beverage in any
portion of thu United States and the Territories
thereof. / can imagine the grim smile upon
Senator Plumbs face when he wrote out this
amendment to the Constitution for Kansas con-
sumption. He has gone further shan even the
most extreme of the temperance senators. Sena-
tor Frye, of Maine. who hopes to be nominated
for the presidency upon a temperance platform,
has not got beyond asking for a commission to
investigate the liquor traffic. But Plumb goes
so far beyond him in his proposition to wipe out
at one fell swoop one of the greatest industries
of the country that it is extremely doubtful
whether even the Name senator would follow
him. One of Plumb's friends in the Senate said
to him. after he had introduced his amendment

The Story of a Scent-Bottle.
, San Francisco Chronicle.

Undertones In san francisco Cnr0n1cle.
There's one girl in town who will not carry a
scentbottle any more. 1t was her little brother
who did it. She was going out to the theater
with her best beau. Several tendernesses had
passed between them. and they were reaching
that stage when he began to Inadvertently begin
his notes my Deare Miss -" and then scratch
out the .'e" She, of course, never noticed it,
but she had occasionally, quite accidentally,
underlined the Yours" at the end It is
lovely to watch the growing boldness of
young love. Dear Miss -" my Dear Miss

must always get your work in in the beginning.
The address tells everything. and a man could
no more persuade woman he loved her if he
began with formal address than he could per-
suade her he didn't love her by telling her
So But anyhow these two young hearts
had a desk in the same Office. They were gradu-
ally working toward copartnership on the
usual arrangemenu-the woman to look after the
Office and the man to do the outdoor work. He
was going to take her to the theater. She was
decked out most handsomely. and her lovely
scent bottle lay tempting young brother who
was looking about for mischief He picked it MP
and disappeared with it. Then he carefully
poured out the fragrant perfume and filled
it with whisky. Then the happy couple
departed, and Mephisto junior chuckled
to himself with fendish glee. They sat en-
tranced in one another, fondy believing they
were enjoying the ballet. He, in kind Of
dream, reached over and took her scent bottle
She let it go. He unscrewed the top and took
long sniff. His dream was dispelled. He did not
say wond. The love died from his eyes, from
his heart. and she did not find out till she had
gone to her room, fearful and sad. what had
caused the change She has told him since of
her young brothers joke. He smiles sadly. He
believes her. But the smell of that whisky for
ever comes between him and her.
