National Convention at Indianapolis to Cor
slider the Situation

National Convention at Indianapolis to Con-
slider the situation
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug 29-The Ma
tional Greenback convention began here
yesterday, but the number present was
only about enough to fill country
school house. About fifty people as
sembled on the front seats of the hall.
Outside OF Indiana New York sent the
largest delegation, sixteen in number.
The remainder were scattered pretty
evenly over the United States.
Colonel Jones, who took charge of the
convention, pointed out the dangers of
sectionalism and scored both of the
great parties for both what they had
and had not done. He advocated a
financial policy based on fixed volume
of paper money, regulated by law. lie
said the business OF the convention was
to prepare series of questions to pat
to candidates OF the old parties in dis
tricts where the Greenback party had
none, and lastly to bring about COM
plete reorganization of the National
Greenback party throughout the whole
country.
Mayor Middleburg, of Delphi, was ap-
pointed chairman and made a vigorous
protest against the uonopolies and all
forms of trusts. A love feast followed.
The reports of the committees on res
oiutions was the signal for several
scrambles- The majority report was
the only one of Importance adopted. 1t
was in substance that the money COM
ing into the Treasury from tariff and
internal revenue should be used in the
payment of public debts until the cir
culation should reach $50 per capita
and that the Government expenses
should be paid in full in greenbacks
1t also favored united action with all
third parties that should agree on the
fundamental principles that Greenback
policies were the speedy and practical
way of providing good money

Another Tragic sorror Reported From


Another Tragic n0rfor Reported From
siberia
New YORK. Aug. 2a-Details have
been received in this city of the Staying
of number of Russian political UNI
fortunates" at Tumen, in Western ST.
IBERIA. A Russian, Alexander Kwiat-
kowski, arrived here on Monday direct
from St Petersburg and brought with
him the first account of the Tiumen
tragedy. he had gained his news al
most at first hand from q relative of one
Of the victims, beautiful young girl.
the Princess Elene oginska
The exiles, 100 in number, left Ekat-
erinburg about the end Of May and the
Journey TO Tfumen was one of indescrib-
able hardship The heat was intense
and for fifteen days the exiles were COM
PEELED to walk along the roads half foot
deep in dust The sufferings of the frail
Princess Elene were intense, arousing
even the sympathy of the Cossack
guards. She was the youngest of the
group Of exiles, but much as she suf-
fere6 herself she was never heard to
complain ALI her companions were in
a similar pitiable condition of exhaust
ion from the journey.
They appealed to the guard in vain,
however. For an answer they were
cruelty beaten by the soldiers with the
stocks of their guns and ordered to get
up and march on.
These scenes happened frequently on
the journey, always with the same re-
suits in cruelty. But at last when
within only few stations of Tiumen
the small band of exiles, driven to
despair, turned fercely upon their
guards and began to fight for
their freedom. But it was q
very unequal fight for the soldiers
who made the journey with loaded rifles
Immediately began firing on the crowd.
The result was horrifying. The first
victim was the beautiful young Princess.
Her head was pierced by a bullet and
she fell dead without uttering word
Still the soldiers kept up the firing
and out of the small band of hum
dred political exiles who left Ekaterin-
burg twenty were shot dead and twelve
were wounded As nearly all the exiles
in the group participated in the rebel
lion" TO greater or less degree, it is
feared that the remainder will be Sc
verely punished if not hanged.

Habits of Reading


DR.. Lyman Abbott, counselor Of the Chati-
tauqua Literary and Scientific Circle, gives this
souni advice to those who ale pursuing the
circle this autumn:
Make time for reading. For this pur pose
utilize the now wasted fragments. Have Il
book in the dining room and read while Vou
waiting for your meal; have a book in your
overcOat pocket and read While YOU are riding
in the horse ears to business. NriemaW did

the partisan editorials. which tell You only
what you thought before. Waste no time before
the intellectual lo0king-g ass which gives you
back reflection Of your own image. lead the
newspaper with the pencil IN hand, mark what
is worth preserving and cut il out. Doing this
will fasten the item in your memory, whether
you paste it in a Scrap-book atterward or not.
(3) Extend this pencil habit Make notes
of all that you read. A good place for such
notes in your own books is on the lly-leat at the
end of the volume. In reading borrowed books
make the notes on half sheet of note paper
and file it away. Be careful how you vitiate
your memory by reading what is not worth re-
membering. but do not discourage yourself
from reading because you cannot remember all
you read. All food does not 20 into tissue

ing has suggested to you. keepa journal. not
of your feelings, but of your thinking Doing
this will make you think. No one fully possess
es thought until he has expressed it. SeIf-eX-
preston fastens it in the mind.
(5) Avoid long courses of readin-. Begin
| undertakings which you can have reasonable
hope of finishing, and measure your reading
not by the amount of ground you have cover
ed but by the amount Of thought stimulated
and produced.
(Gj Finally, remember that perseverance i.
the mother of habit, and the only way to form
a habit of reading is to keep on reading until il
has become habit.
