President Elect HarrisOn's Big Mail

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Nov. 49,
The President-elect passed the day
very quietly at his residence, re.
celving goodly number of neigh
bors and home friends who called
and reading his letters and East
ern papers. Since the day of the
election General HsCrisOn's mail
has steadily increased until it has
now reached mammoth proportions.
This morning it required an ex.
press wagon to haul the bundles of
letters and bags of newspapers
that bad arrived since Saturday.
About 1000 letters and several
bags OF newspapers comprised to-
days mail. Something like eighty
telegrams were also received to-day
mostly of congratulatOry charac-
er, as are also his letters.
Heretofore General Harrison has
aimed to reply to every letter, if
only to acknowledge its receipt,
but with such an extraordinary in
crease, he now finds that the task
of replying to each letter will be
too great for him to undertake, as
it would more than occupy his en-
tire time.
Among the Generals kilograms
and letters withheld from the pub.
lie out of considerations of propri
ETY. and refreshing mOdesty are
many Of prime interest at this time
notably letters from such celebri.
ties as General Sherman, Senator
HiscOck, Joseph Medill and others.
Owing to the size of his mail today
General Harrison, up to this even.
ing, had only read about one-third
of the letters.
Numerous little presents came
by tO-day's mail, but the one most
priced came by express from Mo.
bile, Ala, from VIM. Henry Harri
son Mlnge. 1t was a floral log
cabin, constructed of reeds and
rooted with white and yellow chry-
santhemums, daisies and rosebuds,
while around it was a miniature
garden filed with ferns and wild
grass, the whole presenting a
unique effect IN striking contrast
to the several PLAIN log cabins
found in the house.

Strange Fish Caught Near Boston,

Boston, Nov. ia very pc.
culiar looking fish was caught at
Revere Beach yesterday morning,
near the Revere House, by Messrs.
Collier aud Denyer, employees OF
the hotel, who experienced some
difficulty in landing it. The mon.
ster looks more like a skate than
anything else. 1t is all head, how
ever.
1t has two hand shaped fms, with
five fingers on the under part Of its
body. From the mouth 10 the tip
OF the tail it measures four feet;
the width of It's mouth is fourteen
inches. Upon cutting open the
fish a large sea. gull was found,
which it could not digest, so death
soon followed after landing upon
the beach.

THE VICTORY.

The campaign is over and the
cause OF Protection to American
Industry has triumphed. The re-
suit should give sincere grati6ca'
ton to every lover of this Repub.
lie. 1t proves that the majority of
the American people are determ-
ined that henceforth American
ideas and principles shall prevail
on this soil. 1t shows that foreign
theories and foreign influences can
not sway the minds of Americans
from the path pointed out by duty
and patriotism and of enlightened
self.lnterest.
The Jealous enemies of this Re.
public and its prosperity may
gnash their teeth in impotent rage
over this defeat of their hopes and
anticipatiOns. The sickly syco-
plants here who aped their man.
ners. adopted their maxims, and
sought to persuade us to be.
come their lmita tors 10 every way,
NAV bewal their failure. But the
great mass OF Americans, and es'
pecially our workingmen, will re-
ioice and exult over this peaceful
victory which assures them pro-
| lection from a degrading and de-
moralizing competition with the
pauper lands where the classes rule
and the masses are regarded as
serls.
The voice of the majority of the
people has pronounced the con-
demnation of free trade. They
have wisely resolved to protect
their own interests and promote
the welfare of their own country,
and their decision Will be fruitful
OF good to themselves and to those
who come after them. We con-
graduate them upon the victory
they hvae achieved, and confident
| ly anticipate that it will result in
greater prosperity at home and in
creased respect abroad.

FIFTEEN HUNDRED TAKEN FROM
TREASURY BAGS AND REPLACED

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-Some
crooked business has been discOv
cred in connection with the trans
fer of silver dollars from the mint
at New Orleans to Washington fol-
storage in the large new vault in
the Ourt.yard of the treasury
building, which has resulted IN the
loss of 81 800. The loss was dis
covered last week, but did not be
come known outside the depart
ment until today. Treasury Off
Gals refuse to speak of the matter,
and very little is known beyond
the facts already stated. The sill
yer is shipped by Adams Express
Company, and the loss will prOb9-
bly, fall upon it unless it can be
proved that the packages contain
ing the money were tempered with
before they came into its possession.
The money is shipped in wooden
boxes containing two canvas bags,
with $1,000 in each bag, The
boxes are carefully sealed before
they leave the mint for delivery to
the express company, and are
carefully guarded from that time
until their delivery at the Treasury
Department. They are, therefore,
un1er surveillance from the time
they leave the mint until they are
delivered to the agents OF the
United States treasurer. The ship
ments average 100000 a day, and
the silver already placed IN the
vault amounts to over 100000, 900.
All this coin was brought from
Philadelphia and New Orleans,
but mostly from the 6rst-named
city.
The shipments from New Orleans
were begun only few weeks ago,
and it Is in these that the discrep-
am occurred. SO far as known
only two boxes were tempered
with. In one of them the entire
contents of one bag amounting to

Treatment of Painting.

The common practice of raising
tainting persons to a sitting or up
right position is often sufficient to
destroy the spark of life which
remains. The death of an eminent
English statesman a short time ago
gave opportunity to the coro'
ner tor emphasizing this fact, and
OF pointing out how much more
reasonable and sound it is to keep
such persons in the prone position,
while restoratlves and local means
are adopted to enable them ii pos
sible, to regain consciousness.
