BERLIN, March 5.-According to the
Frankfurter Zeitung, the government has
abandoned the intention to ask the

Pennsyivanta Militiamen Decline to Vacate
the Postofice Building.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-The clerks in
the Postoffice Department did very little
business to-day. The building was given
up for a dOrmitOry for the Fifth, Tenth and
Fourteenth regiments of the Pennsylvania
Home Guards, who were to sleep there last
night, but they did not do much sleeping
until toward morning, and at 8 o'clock,
when the clerks came in to their ac-
custOmed labors, they found the lounges
and tables and floors covered with wet,
half-drunken and sleepy m%ilitiamen. who
refused to vaeate. The chief clerk called
upon Col. Hawkins, of the Tenth Regiment,
who appeared to be in charge, and told him
that he must remOve his men. Col. Hawk
ms declined to do so. The chief
clerk told him they had been given the use
of the department for one night only, with
the understanding that they should leave
before business hours in the morning, but
the Colonel remarked that they had con-
Guided to stay another day. The chief
clerk then threatened to bring in the pO-
lice; at which suggestion the Colonel
smiled and said there were not police,
marines or regularsoldiers enOughin Wash
ington to drive his men out of that depart
ment, and the boys have occupied it all
day. These same soldiers are the ones who
caused the riots in Washington at the in
auguratiOn of President Cleveland, four
years ago, and cost the State of Pennsyl-
vania several thousand dollars to settle the
damages. While they have not committed
any depredatiOns of a serious nature to-
day, they have been engaged in a good deal
of mischief. and have frightened a good
many old colored people almost to death.

Twelve Thousand Tickets Sold.

WASHINGTON, March5.-Twelye thousand
insuguraLball tickets were sold. making
the receipts from that source, $4,000. Col.
Britton, chairman of the inaugural COM
mittee on arrangements, says that the sale
of tickets was continued after the point
had been reached when the expenses were
covered, so that the public could not be
imposed upon by spectators. The sale of
tickets was continued up to 10 O'clock,
when the applications for admission had
ceased. In reference to alleged sale of tick
cts at fancy prices by outsiders, Mr.. Brit
ton says that if the public was imposed
upon in this way it was not the fault of the
committee, as at no time was the sale of
tickets stopped. Some who bought tickets
at the window, last night, were so eager to
get inside the ballroom that they grabbed
up their tickets and went off without wait
ing for their souvenirs. Afterward they
came back and wanted to get their souye-

Why Mrs. Harrison Was Detained.

Special 20 Inc IndlanaPOns JOufhaL
WASHINGTON. March Sit appears that
the delay in the proceedings in the Senate
yesterday was caused by the stupidity of a
special policeman. who had prevented the
carriage in which Mrs. Harrison, her son
and daughter were riding. from entering
the Capitol grounds. By some confusion
this carriage became separated from the
rest of the presidential party, and when it
attempted to approach the Capitol. a police
man who was employed for that day, halted
the driver. Assistant Sergeant-at-arms
Reynolds, of the Senate, was in charge of
the party, and explained to the policeman
that the carriage contained the President
elects wife and family, but he suspected
that they were trying to deceive him, and
told them that they could not play that
game on him Asergeant of the police was
finally summoned and released Mrs. Harri-
sons party from the grasp of the law.

Riotous Pennsylvania NIilitiamen.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The Pennsyl-

might be serious trouble. A crowd of the
Pennsylvania militiamen had congregated
on + street. between Eighth and Ninth
streets, completely blocking the thor

A patrol OF police several times dis

found necessary to appeal to General
Hastings, who ordered Colonel Crawford,
of the Tenth Pennsylvania, to clear the
street and keep it clear. The Colonel
detailed a company to charge up and down

way the mob was broken up. Most of the

cereal in European markets.

Homeward Bound.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The strains of
martial music filed the air, to-day, as the
numerous organizations marched down
Pennsylvania avenue homeward bound.
The sun which ever and amor shed its rays
through a heavy sky, FURNISHED swords,
muskets, helmets and military ~trappings,
and restored to the flags and bunting the
brilliancy of which yesterdays rain had
temporarily deprived them. The streets
were thronged. A steady stream of
humanity flowed along the wide avenues.

Gilmore'sB Band pleased the ears of the street
audience. as it headed the John j. O'brien
Association, of New York, OIL its march to
the station. Every man in line carried &
small valise, and all dotted their hats in
unison in response to the applause with
which they were greeted on their way.
Wait Till the Clouds Roll By" was a fav-
orite air with many of the bands, and it
was especially appropriate when. late in
the afternoon, the sun shone forth brightly.

LONDON, March 5.-Mr. Labouchere has
written a letter suggesting that a fund be
started for the benefit of Piggott's poverty
stricken children, and accompanies the
suggestion with a personal subscription of
ESQ. Several other gentlemen have signi-

object. and it is likely that a considerable
sum will be raised. In his letter, Mr..
Labouchere facetiously remarks that his

usually reserved by nature for morality,

marked by a more or less pronounced

PANAMA, March 4.-Chance has led to the
discovery of a cure for by drophobia. In
A~ayacucho, Peru, a man was bitten by a
mad dog. and shortly after the dreaded dis
ease developed. In his madness the man
rushed from his house, and, falling among
a lot of "peuca' plants, some of the juice of
the plants entered his mouth and he swal-
lowed it. A moment of reason seems to
have followed. during which he seized
some of the leaves, broke them and drank
of the milk and glutinous sap with which
they are generally saturated. When his
friends found him he was senseless, with
the .'peuca" or imagine" leaves clutched in
his hands. He was carried to his home and
soon regained his health. Experience has
long since taught the Indians that 'peuca"

He Lost the Roubles.

The Emperor of Russia, when upon
n tour of inspection in the provinces,
passed the night in the simple hut of
a toll-taker. Before retiring he was
pleased, as head of the church, to see
the old man take up his Bible and read
chapter. "Do you read often, my
son?" he asked. "Yes, your ma ajesty,
every day." elbow much of the Bible
have you read, my SOM" "During the
past year the Old Testament and part
of Matthew. your majesty" Thinking
to reward him, the Gar placed 500
roubles between the leaves of the book
of Mark on the following morning, un-
known to the toll-keeper, whom he babe
farewell. Several months passed away
and the Emperor returned, upon q seS-
ond tour, to the toll l-keeper's hut. TAX
ing the Bible in his hands, he was sur
prised to find the 500 roubles intact
Again, interrogating the toll-keeper as
to his diligence in reading, he received
an affirmative answer and the statement
that he had finished the chapters of
Luke. Lying, my son, is n great sin,"
replied his majesty; "give me the Bible
till see." Opening the book, he point
ed to the money, which the man had
not seen. "Thou hast not sought the

GLOVES OF HUMAN SKIN.
They Are Palmed Off Abroad as
Being the Best Kid.

"Gloves which are sold as kid are
often made of human skin," said DIR.
Mark L. Nardyz, the Greek physician,
of Pine street, yesterday. "Thhe skin on
the breast" continued the physician,
sis soft and plable, and may be used in
the making of gloves. When people
buy gloves they never stop to question
about the material of which they are
made. The shop-kecper himself may be
in ignorance, and the purchaser has no
means of ascertaining whether the ma
terial is human skin or not. The fact
is, the tanning of human skin is ex-
tensively carried on in France and
Switzerland. The product is manufac-
tured into gloves, and these are import
ed into this country. Thus, you see, a
person may be wearing part of distant
relatives body and not know it."
Then the doctor drew from drawer
brand new pair of black gloves.
"There," he said, sis a fine article
made from the skin of q child. As the
hide of kid compares with that of
goat, so, of course, does the skin of
child compare with that of an adult,
and it is much sought in France for
glove purposes.
1.-The skin of mans back makes
good sole leather" said the doctor.
"Nature has protected mans S spine by
skin which is much heavier than that
on other parts of the body. Here is
piece of well-tanned skin from the calf
of mans leg" And the doctor dis
played n bit of white leather, strong and
thick.
In museum in Belgium are the bod
les of six members of one family. They
were all buried in tan yard, and when
they were exhumed, years afterward,
the skin, flesh and even the bones were
well preserved, so thoroughly tanned
were all the parts. These specimens are
in Il better state of preservation than are
the Egyptian mummies.
A few years ago General Ben Butler
effectually checked the tanning of
human skins i'll Massachusetts,, and
since that time the business has ceased.
The few samples of tanned human skin
now obtainable were made by scientists
as an experiment.
DIR. NardyZ formerly possessed n fine
pair of slippers made out of the skin of
a member of the genus homo, but his
wife did not like the idea of her husband
literally wearing dead mans Shoes
and so one day they vanished. The
doctor does not say word, but he
thinks he knows who is responsible for
their disappearance. - Philadelphia

Philip found himself in very large

Philip would have gladly taken a
more lingering look at the old portraits
peering down at him from the walls,
some of them with dark, searching eyes
SO like those of his lovely protegee, but a
feeling of delicacy prompted him to
make his way through her rooms as

He hastened down the stairs, lifted
the latch, and admitted the two wo-

familiar old portraits looked down as if
