He Defends tho Presidents Administra-
tion In his Speech.
MITCHELL, Ind >, Oct. 12.---Governor
Hill Of New York inaugurated his canvass
of Indiana at this place to-day. He was
met at the depot by Governor Gray and
others and escorted to an adjacent grove

HILLS SPEECH.
FELLOW CITIZENS: Your state seems
to be alive with enthusiasm and true de-
mocracy. come to add my testimony in
favor of the wisdom and benefit which we
have received from democratic admins
tration of national affairs. To-day all
over this land our people are engaged in
the discussion of economic and industrial
questions. Four years ago we were en-
gagged in considering other questions
growing out of sectional animosity be-
tween various sections of our country, and
to-day, my friends, we are permitted to
discuss these economic and industrial
questions because, under the wise and
statesman.like administration of Grover
Cleveland, the country has been entirely
and completely pacifed applausel. The
first point that make In favor of the
democratic party in this election is that
the opportunity for a discussion of the
questions that concern every citizen at his
own home, is due to three and half
years of national democratic administra-
tion. The democratic party proposes a
revival of the tariff. II does not propose
destruction of the tariff, but IL proposes
simply modification of it. We believe
the time has arrived when the excessive
revenues Of the government should be di.
minished. We believe the best and truest
interests of our country will be subserved
bv reduction Of the present high rate of
taxation. Need state before an intelli.

A DoMEsTlCATED DOE.
The Rare Pet Reared by a Pennsylvania
farmers Family.

Farmers Family.
Ayro Tipple, a farmer living near
Scranton, Pa, has a tame doe that was
caught in a spring brook forest when
she was very young fawn. Her name
is Kate, and she is as tame as a kitten
She scampers with the sheep and lambs
when she feels like it; grazes with the
cattle, runs about the yard, and has
the freedom of the farm generally.
Whenever she gets lonesome or be-
comes tired of associating with the
other animals on the farla she marches
right into the house and silently, yet
understandingly, coaxes members of
the family to notice and pet her. II any
OF the folks speak cross to her, and tell
her to clear out, she instantly leaves
the room with the air of an injured
innocent, but she will return at once if
kind word is spoken to her. and al
low her handsome head to be rubbed
and her sleek hide to be stroked. Kate
is very sensitive, for she has been
tenderly reared. and harsh. unkind
word seems to hurt her feelings as much
as violent slap on the cheek. She is
never treated in this way except when
some member of Mr. Tipple's family
desires to show the visitor how sensi-
tive handsome Kate is. but she has
never been spoiled, and she is as kind
and obedient now as she was when she
was a pretty fawn five years ago.
During the summer and fall Kate
rambles far enough into the forest to
find companions of her own genus, but
she never remains with them for more
than day or two at a time. Until two
years ago she had not stayed away over
night, but she did not put in an appear

as if she was delighted to see Mr.. and
Mrs. Tipple and all of the children.
She makes frequent visits to the woods,
and once last summer when she ran
down the glade into the clearing at the
top of the hill three gallant bucks were
following her. They came no further

LITERARY WOMEN.
Some of Their Pecuiarittes and Why They
Neglect Their Millinery.

Some of Their Peculiarities and Why They
| Neglect Their Millinery.
| 1t has been ofttimes said. and the
saying has gone uncontradicted, that
the great ma jority Of our literary
women acquire that valuable acquisi-
! ton, talent. at the price of feminine
charm. Their passiveness on this par
tlcular point makes the story all the
moro worthy of credence. If these re-
marks are in any way applicable to the
great army of prose and fiction writer's,
they are far more closely allied in their
slgnlticatiOn to the chosen few who in
woke the muses. aid. OF these New
York City and State claims the largest
number: but of their idiosyncrasies it
can also lay first claim with especial
pride. Many of them are not unat-
tractive, and not a few are gifted with
rare personal charm. But it does not
require microscopical survey of
their garb. head gear and other arti-
cles OF feminine wardrobe to be-
hold the utter lack of care bestowed
on this branch of millinery Can it
be possible that they neglect all self
attention in the eXuberance of their
imagination. or that other causes are
not found wanting? know not of one
literary woman throughout the length
and breadth of this continent whose
attire and general makeup is not some
thing more or less ludicrous or motor
s0x.H Z q
their originality and ingenuity Take
for instance Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox
She is fair representation of the class
of which l write; is pretty, courteous
and charitable to a fault, and though
gifted with great deal Of social acumen
and lore, still her manner and style of
dress is as unbecoming as it is gro
tesque. Not that she is adverse to ap-
pearing to her best advantage in pub
lie, for several of her friends assure me
that to attain this end is the all-absorb-
ing ambition of her life But it either
arises in each instance from a unique
and perhaps circumspect opinion, or
the product of an abnormal brain, in
turn the victim of genius, the noblest
of natures laws; for it has been asserted
by eminent medical experts that pro-
ductions from the pen of female pos
sessed of real genius are not and can
not be the outcome Of healthy brain.
The homes of many of our literary
women strongly point in favor of this
assumption; but when the question of
prevailing style most in usage is con.
sidered it will be found that our literary
female friends are far below the average
shop girl, and many beneath the plane
of others in humber spheres of life. A
wonderful inconsistency, isn't it2-

The Washington lobbyist. Ne is
nothing like he's represented. He is
not what he used to be. The French
artist for Harper's represents man
leaning back in his chair, with his hat
on one side, and gar held carelessly
between his fingers, while he coolly
blows curls of smoke up to the ceiling.
A diamond sparkles on his shirt front,

it. 1t suits the popular idea. but sus-

The lobbyist ofto-day don't wear dia-
monds. He don't swagger and puff
smoke in members faces. If he drinks
champagne, it is on the quiet. 1t is a
mistake to think that his pockets are
bursting with money, which he spends
with lavish hand. Gracious! this is
no more like the lobbyist OF to-day
than the stage detective is like the
genuine article.
The typical lobbyist see every day
at the Capitol is plain man. He is
unassuming, poorly dressed, and,
withal, meek and lowly. He does not
slap members on the shoulders and ask
them to drink. He does not treat them
to champagne suppers or champagne
lunches. He makes no display of
wealth. He does not come upon the
floor of the House to talk with men,
bers much, nor does he walk through
the corridors of the Capitol with an air
of ownership. He is granger, from
tiersman-looking fellow. His trousers
are bagged at the knees and wrin1led
at the bottom, from having been Worn
in the tops of his cowhide boots. If he
wears ''biled shirt" it is soiled. and

THE HoME-BouNo HOST.

The sound Of host advancing,
Tramp: tramp! tramp!
Under the windy flicker
And fare Of the evening lamp.
Under the steady whiteness
OF the clear electric light,
The sound OF an army marching
Is in the streets tonight.
Not to the clamor Of bugles.
Nor the stormy beat OF drums,
Not to the battles tocsin,
The juhilant army comes.
A sweeter music summons
And thrills along the line,
Though each for himself may hear it
And make to the next no sign.
The patter OF tiny FOOTBALLS
That run to an open door,
The mothers tender singing.
Her step on the nursery floor,
The boyish shout OF welcome,
The g.rlish ripple OF glee,
At the click in the guarded portal
I OF the home bound fathers key.
This is the army's music:
Cheerily calls goodnight
The merry voice of the comrade
AS he passes out of sight
Into the heart of the household
When the days long work is done
And wife and BARNS are waiting
With a kiss for their dearest one.
Uuder the windy flicker
And fare Of the evening lamp,
/ hear a host advancing
With steady and resolute tramp
A host Of the strong and gentle,
A throng Of the brave and true,
Dear little wives and mothers,
Fastening home to you,
