That was the first home in Philadelphia

BOULANGER's ENGLISH FRIENDS.

Z
People Who Gave Him Money, and Others
Who Lionized Him ~ Another Napoleon.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
LONDON, Oct. 12.-The anxiety which
General Boulanger has always shown to
to induced the British public to take fa-
vorable view of his prospects, ,notwithstand-
ing the almost unanimous hostility of the
British press to his pretension. may be ex-
planned on very material grounds. There
is no doubt that very considerable por-
tion of the funds which have been put to SO
many questionable uses in the recent French
elections were subscribed In London, pre-
sumably to a great extent by members of
the French colony in the English capital,
but by no means wholly. If ever a full list
of the subscribers shall be disclosed. it will
be found to include not few London spec
ulators and fnanciers, at least one English
peer and several members of the House of
commons, of whom no one would ever
dream as being likely to interest them
selves actively in French politics. Gen.
Boulanger owes a great deal to the
romantic liberality of women. One French
lady of rank residing in London sold her
Jewels In order to make him q present of
the proceeds, and another cOnfesses to have
run herself into dept to swell the G eneraps
hnances. Until the result. of the second
elections of last Sunday became definitely
known, Boulanger continued to be ionized
in certain quarters. Visions of another
Napoleon III seem to have filled the heads
of many English hostesses. They were
proud to meet the General. and acknowl-
edged him in public with evident pleasure
at his condescension in recognizing them.
and seemed to believe that they would be
bright stars at his court when he rebuilt
the Tnilleries. The people of France have
dispelled the illusion and the would-be
asteroids have become asterisks.

BLACKED BOOTS AND SOLD PAPERS.
How Wealthy Student of Harvard Earned His
Right to Enter Secret Society.

BOsToN, Oct. 12-The secret societies at

to the great enjoyment of the members ana
the mental distress of the victims. There
is one young fellow who feels that he has
fairly earned his membership. He is the
son of a wealthy Cbicagoan, and when he
entered Harvard this fall he engaged the
most expensive suite of rooms in Beck Hall
and fitted them up regardless of expense.
The furnishings and draperies were OF
the costliest fabric, and the high-priced
bric-a-brac showed that there was
plenty of money at the disposal of the
the lap of luxury and ignorant of want,
made application for membership in Har-
wards most popular secret society, and
pledged himself to obey all the orders that
might be imposed. When he learned the
given half of his wealth to have backed
out. IL was decreed that he should sell
papers and black boots in the public square
in Cambridge for the space of one week. 1t
was tough job. but the applicant showed
letter. Every day for week. after leaving
the recitation-room. he went to his palatial
suite of rooms, exchanged his good clothes
for an old suit, daubed some blacking on
his face and hands as partial protection
against the scrutiny of passers-by, and
carried out the stern decree of the order.
He blacked the books of the professors and
sold them papers without revealing his
identity, and sauntered along the street
with his kit over his shoulder and his
papers under his arm. with as much sang
froid as though he was a genuine street
gamin. He worked his way into the order.
and now the blacking kit occupies promi-
his rooms.

LONDON. Oct. 12.-The prevailing epidemic of
strikes Is becoming alarmingly serious. Over a
dozen of the leading trades are already affected,
and dozen more are likely to be drawn into the
whirlpool at any moment. The Tory papers
ascribe the situation TO the preachings Of liberal
Ism and socialism, and call upon the government
to use all legal means to prevent the spread of
the revolutionary spirit fomented by irresponsi-
BILE agitators. Numerous trades-union meetings
are scheduled for to morrow at Clerkenwell
Green, Victoria Park and elsewhere, which will
be addressed by Burns, Tfllett, Champion, Mrs.
Aveling, and other radical Socialist orators.

English Tories Would Like the United States
to "Gobble" the Sandwich Islands.
LONDON, Oct. 12.-The Times says that in
view of the amount of English capital in
vested in the Sandwich Islands England
could not see them pass into the hands of
any foreign power with indifference; but
that their acquisition by the United States
would be regarded with more equanimity
than their spoliation by any European
power. to which the British government
would never submit. The whole tone of
the article points to desir, that. the
United States government may see it's way
clear to gobble up the islands, and the
writer's intention is evidently to encourage
Uncle Sam to adopt such course. If the
present Tory government, of which the
Times is to some extent the mouth-picce,
has any AK to grind by inducing the United
States to depart from its traditional policy
of minding its own business few people on
this side of the water expect to see it sue
ceed. Well-informed men here understand
that q scheme for the acquisition of terri
tory thousands of miles distant from its
shores is not likely to find favor in America.

When VIM. Shockey, a Iahorer, aged
about twenty-six, is working or exercis-
ing, the right side of his body perspires
so freely that his clothing becomes as
completely saturated as if water had
been poured upon him, while the left
side remains perfectly dry. The line Of
demarcation is as exactly drawn as if he
had been surveyed by an expert. The
line comes across the scalp, forehead
and nose, extending down the breast
and abdomen, dividing him exactly in
halves. On one side of the forehead
on one side of the nose and the whole
right half sweats most freely, while the
other half remains in feverish dryness
never even becoming moist. He at.
tributes the phenomenon to illness
from which he suffered some time ago.

A Queer Old Chap.

Perhaps the .oddest obituary ever
written was that by Husselton Comp.
ton, who died at st. Joseph, Mo-, last
week, at the age of 10l years. 1t was
dictated by himself on his 96th BIRTH
day. Here it is as it will appear on his
monument:
"Husselton Compton lived to a very
great age, and when he died no one
could point finger at him and say,
that man did not try to be honest. He
was honest, if his deeds looked to peo-
pie what his intentions looked to his
own mind, and no man can do better
than that. He suffered many wrongs
owing to the confounded civil war and
other things, but, though he was robbed
and maltreated, by maltreating some
one else he would have scorned such
low-lived, thievish tricks.
"He married good woman and
raised a large family of girls and boys
good provlder for them, as we'll as for
grandchildren that came after them.
He taught them all what was right,
just as his parents did him and his
brothers and sisters, and if any of them
should ever vote the abolition ticket he
wouldn't be to blame.

honorable marriage on May llth, 1888,
