The XIII or Capiure Idea.

Capt. Willard Billiard, Health Inspector, had
many "reminiscences TO recount. Among them
was the following:
at the time Gen. sickles assumed command
OF the Second Division of the Third Corps
after the second Bull Run mo gave nm elaborate
dinner 10 the officers of his new Division
After winning and dining these, he sent for tho
officers Of hia old Excelsior Brigade, and said !:
Now, boys, we will have a family gathering
aud pointing TO tho table hes said, Treat il as
you would the enemy which the boys did.
Capt Byrnes, a typical Irishman, after
dinner, passed out, saying he was going to his
tent. Gen. Sickles sauntered out, aud caught
the Captain slowing away three bottles of
champagne in his saddle bags
What, WHAT gasped the General What
are you doing, Captain?'
'Obeying ORDERS responded the Captain, in
u firm voice.
80 How is that?' said the General sternly.
90 You told US to treat that dinner as we
would the enemy. and, you know, General,
what we can't kill we capture replied the
witty Irishman."

Shaking Hands.

1t would seem that GO years ago shaking
hands between persons of different sexes y
was hardly proper, and that 10 or 20 years
earlier ID was considered highly indicate.

oil, in giving Judgment, said that conduct
highly bamabe aud distressing to the feelings
of husband had been proved, but, although
80 witnesses had been examined, no indecent
familiarities had been proved beyond kiss.
The shaking of hands when they met was a
practice now so frequent between persons OF
different sexes, however opinions might differ
to it's delicacy, that no uniavorable inference
could be deduced thence"

RUSSIA FOR THE RUSSIANS.
Thorough Work Being Made OF Driving All the
Aliens from the q HOLY Empire


EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: You can have
little idea OF the thoroughness aud severity
with which the Pan Slavists, who are now
dominant in this country, are--carrying out
their policy OF Russia for the Russians" Tho
brunt of this policy falls ON the Germans aud
Jews, who are the most considerable bodies Of
aliens in the empire, and whose competition
Is most severely felt by the native Russians.
The plan now being put into operation con
templates tho expulsion Of more than 100000
jews. To do this law is being formulated
which contains Ga very severe regulations
against Hebrews, and which being enforced
will make IL impossible for them 10 live in the
country. First, tho Jews are prohibited from
dealing in most Of the chief commodities such
as wheat. -four and spirits. All Jews are 10 be
prohibited from settling in villages, aud those
who have so settled since 1882 are TO be ex-
PEELED at once. The work has already been
begun of expeling the Jews who live within
30 versts OF the Austrian frontier, and these
limits are next to DO extended to 100 yersts
The reason given for this Is that the Jews in
war time act as spies and aids TO the enemy and
their expulsion is necessary for military rea-
sons. All Jewish young men are compelled TO
serve In the army, and the old Communication
OF 300 rubles 10 escape the CONSUMPTION 10
repealed. In the case OF Jew deserving, the
district from which he came is fined 600 ru-
bles
The laws also contemplate such restrictions
upon the great numbers OF German physicians,
engineers, merchants and farmers who are in
the country as will compel them to speedily
quit it. Already the emigration of these out

Bill and Eight-Hour Measure Passed

Dinner to Newspaper Man Who is
Soon to Marry-Oficial Notes.
WASHINGTON CITY, Aug 29.-There was
a sort of echo in the house yesterday of
Wednesdays riot, but it did not develop
until season of peace that was almost
remarkable. Not sign of the 'ruction"
of the day before was visible in the faces
or demeanor of the members when bust
ness was begun. The speaker stated the
question TO be on sustaining his decision
giving the lard bill right of way Enloe
made the point of order that yesterday
had been assigned to the labor committee
he wanted to see whether it would knock
out the workingman; but the speaker de
clined to rule, saying that the point was
involved in the question before the house
The decision was sustained-130 to 49,
The business was soon disposed of after
that and the lard bill passed-l26 to 3l-a
quorum DelnS counted.
The Cannon Resolution.
The question of the Cannon resolution
naming certain members for absenting
themselves from roll-call came up, and
Williams of Illinois, one of the members
named, explained that he had been called
away from the house at 3 o'clock on that
day by Illness in his family. He was pro-
ceeding to comment on Cannon's action
Ms member of the committee on rules,
when he was called to order by the speak
er, and requested toconfine himself to the
question of personal privilege.
Cannon was willing that Williams
should proceed, as he could hurt nobody.
Williams thought Cannon could not be
easily hurt after the proceedings of
Wednesday.
Cannon resented the remark and said
that Wednesdays proceedings, so far as
he was concerned, appeared officially in
The Record, and he stood by it, He was
only afraid of lies outside the chamber
Didn't Like His Own Medicine.
T Boatner of Louisiana having stated that
he had absented himself for the specific
purpose of breaking quorum, and con-
sidered it his duty to his constituents,
Mason of Illinois said he had absented
himself several times for the same reason
and had no apology to make for it. He
had done all he could to defeat the bill,
but he had been defeated and he accepted
it as gracefully as he could He had
helped to make the rule under which he
had been defeated, but sometimes it was
hard to take ones own medicine. He had
kicked as hard as he could, and had no
apology to make for his course, except to
his constituents
Had No Explanations to Make.
Richardson of Tennessee suggested that
the gentlemen engaged IN Wednesday 5
scenes be given an opportunity for ex,

direction. The house then proceeded to

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug u. The Democratic
state convention was called to order at
1920 yesterday morning by Chairman
Jewett, of the state central committee A
permanent organization was effected by
| the election of Ex-Governor Isaac p Gray
as chairman, and John c. Nelson as sec
rotary. Upon taking the chair Governor
Gray spoke for half an hour on national
and state issues. He said that the Demo
cratic party favored a reduction of the
surplus and reduction of the tariff du-
ties. He argned that the state debt had
been created by both parties, the Repub-
licans having made fve-eighths of the
debt and the Democrats three -eighths
| and declared that the new institutions at
| Richmond, Evansville and Logansport,
the soldiers orphans home and the SOL
diers' monument stand as monuments to
testify what Democrats have done with
the 5000. 600 they expended, while moth.
ing could be shown for the 8, 600 900 spent
by Republicans.
The Platform of Principles.
The usual preliminaries having been
disposed of, business was begun by the
presentation of the report of the resolu-
tons committee by S. E. Morse, editor of
The Sentinel The platform charges the
, Republican administration with aiding
aud abetting the alleged corrupt practices
of W. w. Dudley in the last national
election "by which the state of Indiana
was stolen by the Republican party" de-
nounces the administration for ignoring
the provisions OF the civil service law;
condemns the alleged various gift en-
terprises" manipulated by the family of
President Harrison for private gain; con-
dennis what is called the theft of two
United States senators" from Montana;
favors tariff jor revenue only and opposes
Blaine's reciprocity idea. The remainder
of the platform is all good Democratic
doctrine, and plank is inserted opposing
interference of the state with private
schools.
Names of the Chosen Ones.
The ticket selected is as follows: Secre-
tary of state, Claude Matthews; treas urer,
| Albert CALI auditor of state,J. Oscar Hen.

| superintendent instruction, IL. ID. Worries;
director bureau geology, Professor 5 5.
| Gorby; chief bureau statistics, w A

| close and exciting, but that for secretary

was unanimous, all the other contestants
withdrawing and giving the Farmers Al
IIance candidate the right of WAY
