THE POINT OF VIEW.
Mr.. Lindley and Senator Bowers Look
at Things Differently,


Hervey Lindley stood in front OF the
Nadeau yesterday afternoon and said in
reply to HERALD mans greeting, "Get
there, of course l will. What do you
suppose am in the fight for? Talk to
the Doctor about it."
DIR. Lindley, who stood just back of
the group, said, II am satisfied with
Hervey's prospects,, and think he will
be nominated, surely. If was a bet
ting man would be willing to risk a
good deal of money on it. One thing
you can be sure Of, that is that there
will be no dark horse business. One or
the other will get it,"
Senator Bowers then plunged into
sight on the sidewalk, and the reporter
queried him:
"Get there? OF course 1 will; l shall
start off with eighty votes and l will be
nominated. If didn't think SO I'd GO
right home. Dark horse? No sir. Not
bit of one. The three men who have
worked for the nomination will furnish
the successful one. The delegates will
not permit any dark horse business"
''There's Lindley right in the hotel Of
flee there you can see him through the
window" said the reporter. 'Now tc
settle this matter, come in and match
dollars to see which will retire in favor
of the other?"
"My dear boy, I've eighty votes, 1 tell
you; what would / gain? No, sir, l am
in the fight to stay, and win if 1 can
It's nice, clean, hard fight, and it's al
right"
The two candidates smiled at each
other through the Nadeau's front win
dow, but that was as close as they
got to each other.

Big Connecticut Pumpkins.

Some farmers go away from Connecti-
cut and settle in the west, saying that
the old state is played out in an agri-
cultural way, but tho Nutmeg state is
still somewhat on pumpkins, or else
Walter Crissey, of Southington, is mis-
taken. Crissey set out to raise pump
hns this year and succeeded. He planted
eight acres with field corn and in every
other hill dropped a pumpkin seed. He
has just harvested the pumpkin crop,
and there are 5000 of them, as big and
round and yellow and mellow as the full
harvest moon looked to be week ago.
Having gathered the 5000 pumpkins
Crissey hardly knows what to do with
them, unless he builds them into yellow
pyramid like Cheops. The village arith-
metic man of Southington has done some
figuring, and computes that each one of
Walter Crissey's pumpkins will make
five ordinary pumpkin pies, and five
pies multiplied by 5000 pumpkins ought
to yield pies enough to pave the whole
main street of Southington. If the pies
were strung along the country in single
file, tin touching tin, there ought to be
more than four miles of pumpkin pies,
so the mathematician calculates. Cor.

Indians Getting Restless.

Capt. Trimbleton, of the Seventh Unit
ed States cavalry, passed through Pitts
burg few days ago on his way from Fort
Sill, /. T., to New York, and conversed
with Chronicle Telegraph reporter on
the outlook in the Indian section. He
said: ''No one who is not in the Indian
reservations can comprehend the almost
magical spread among them of the i'm
preston that the Great Medicine Man is
once more about to visit the earth. Thou
sands Of Indians are forsaking their
plows and agricultural occupations to
sulk in solitude when they are not con-
Quoting wild orgies to welcome the
Great Medicine Man
The effect Of the fanatical preachings
Of certain tribal leaders is proving a
source Of grave alarm. One part Of
their religious exercises is a daily wash
in the Washita river. On the banks of
that stream they expect the Medicine
Man to appear, who is to cover the world
with thirty feet Of soil, exterminate the
white race, and once again apportion
the country out for the tribes of Indians
/ believe that there win be serious out
break among the Indians as result Of
this religious excitement The sight Of
10000 Indian braves and squaws flock
ing to the Washita river every morning
to bathe and chant wild dirges is calcu-
lated to excite apprehension among army
officials and white settlers alike"

The Cut of the FAN Coat.

The Prince Albert coat has not realized
the promise that its infrequent appear
Rnce in light summer fabrics gave of its
probable reinstatement in the fall. In
fact, this coat of demi-dress has been
superseded by the four button black
thibet cutaway-the fourth button not
intended to close in front. The lapel of
this coat has an unskimped appearance,
and buttons low enough to favor three
inch Ascot or De Joinville scarf, upon
which the best tailors now do their reck-
oning for waistcoat openings.
The collar is also cut so as to be ample,
and to achieve this effect is wider at that
point Immediately in the middle line Of
the back Of the coat. There is slant
pocket for the 'kerchief and change
pocket with flap. The coat is cut well
in to the figure, and the cutaway not too
sharply made, the skirts being of good
length. The buttons are of silk braid,
and there is a narrow row Of stitching
running as close as possible to the edge
of the garment. It is an agreeably suave
and most useful garment to the man
fortunate enough to be able to possess
one.-Clothier and Furnisher

musical leader was conceived by him.

Returned After Many Year.

William Lanark, wealthy old farmer
of Lanark county, died fourteen years
ago, leaving $4,000, the distribution Of
which was made the occasion Of a law
suit by some of the surviving members
of his family. Among the male heirs
was Stephen Holiday, a married son.
who in 1854 left his wife and two chill
dren and went sailing on the lakes in
the schooner Ada Drake, which was lost
in a heavy storm off Cleveland, and Hol-
iday's family supposed he went down
with the vessel. His widow subsequent
ly married q Toronto man named De-
rusha, and secured an order for the pay
.ment of Stephens share of his fathers
money to her and her two sons. This
was followed by an orderthat the money
should remain in the court.
Four years ago Mrs. Derusha, Ste
phen's wife, died, and lately Stephen re-
turned to Canada and told of his mirac-
ulous escape from the wreck after being
washed about the lake for hours lashed
to a spar, and of being picked up by a
propeller, after which he went to Hondur-
as and Central America. He has been
identified by his only surviving son and
a neighbor who knew him years ago,
and Mr.. Justice Armour has made an or.
der for the payment of his share of his
fathers estate. Toronto Globe.

Handwriting on the wan.

A Louisville merchant has q son who
is-or was-Tather wild. and who came
home often much the worse for liquor.
The father TO check the young mans
career Of dissipation, says the Louis
vile Commercial, got a stick Of phos-
phorous and wrote on the wall opposite
the boys bed: "Prepare to meet thy
God" The letters were Of course visi-
bic only In the dark, and the old man
was careful to have the room well light
ed when his son came home the next
night pretty well loaded as usual. He
and companion turned in with the
gas turned up full, and soon they were
sound asleep. The old man went in
and put out the light. He then made
a noise sufficient to wake the boy out
Of his drunken sleep, and as he sat up
In bed his eyes caught the handwriting
on the wall. With bound he sprang
out of bed, and striking light, he be
gan an examination of the wall, but ii
was blank In the light. The gas burn
ed all night, and the next morning the
young man was very quiet and solemn.
The old gentleman erased the warning
from the wall, and is pleased to know
where bis boy is at night. The father
says that he learned the trick from q
prominent preacher Of the city, who
was frightened out Of his naughtiness
in this way.

He Ia an Old Timer.

The hawk that breakfasts up on Q
cable of the East river bridge near the
New York tower was a little early yes
terday morning. This made him the
more deliberate in his movements. As
usual he had his pigeon with him, and
as usual he devoured it and picked the
bones. Several hundred people watched
this early morning meal with an inter-
est born of extensive newspaper COM
ment. When he had finished he flew
slowly away toward his home in Staten
Island.
This hawk is an ancient inhabitant Of
this part of the country. In the autumn
eleven years ago he was noticed day
after day lowering about the scaffold-
ing. Sometimes he would sit there in
the forenoon and breakfast on pigeon
or some other bird. Sometimes he would
fold his wings about him and gaze
dreamily out ON the harbor, oblivious Of
the noise Of bridge building beneath
him. Every fall since then the employees
of the bridge have noted his return.
When the scaffoldings fell away he Sc
lected perch ON the cables. With nat
ural taste he chose the New York end Of
the bridge. He has never been known
to alight on the Brooklyn tower or in its
vicinity.
He is rather large for pigeon hawk,
but often brings with him breakfast
larger than himself. His brown plumage
is as fresh and his fight as steady as it
was eleven years ago. This year he ap-
peared week ago. He sometimes pro-
longs his stay until nearly spring. John
O'Brien, who is well known about the
docks under the bridge, has shot at him
many a time in former years, and
numerous other attempts upon his life
have been made. But nothing seems to
disturb his serenity, and his love for the
bracing air and fine scenery has over
balanced all considerations Of prudence.

WHAT AN OUTSIDE PAPER
THINKS OF THE TWO CAM
DIDATEs.
Donovan One OF the Most Promising
Men of His Years In the
State,


The Delaware Herald, one Of the
leading and most influential newspa-
pers In Ohio, discourses as follows up
on the relative merits of the Democrat
ic and Republican members for Con-
gress In the Hoop Pole DISTRICT;
The Democracy of the Sixth Con-
gressional district are more than fortu-
nate in their nominee for Congress.
The Hon. Dennis ID. Donovan Is one of
the most promising men of his years In
this State. Leadinga a business life, he has
found time to thoroughly investigate
the economic questions which enters SO
largely into governmental affairs, and
has so familiarized himself with the
principles which underiie our institu-
tions as to fit him for the intelligent
discharge OF the highest legislative du-
ties. On entering the General Assem-
bly, of Ohio his qualities and abilities
were Immediately recognized, and he
was placed in the most important posi-
tions on the COMMITTEES. He was an
earnest intelligent worker, and made o
lasting reputation for fidelity and abil-
ity. He will deserve the higher honor
for which he has been nominated, and
we predict for him o most successful
Congressional career, honorable and
useful to the country, and creditable to
himself. His opponent, Hon. ]. II.
Brigham, has seen some official life, but
left nothing to impress any one that he
has the slightest comprehension Of po-
litical affairs. He is now masquerad-
ing under motley colors. He has long
INDUCED In Congressional aspirations,
but the people Of his district did not
need or appreciate him. He processes
to nonpartizanship. yet on every occas-
ion when opportunity has presented he
has exhibited strict partizan feeling.
In reality he is q dyed-in-the-wool Re-
publican, and nothing else. His pro-
fessions in any other path are the sheer
est pretense. If the Democrats Of the
Sixth district permit this chronic Office
seeker to pull the wool over their eyes
by wearing the foxes hide, they will
we'll deserve the modification which
will follow his election. Mr.. Brigham
Is Republican-nothing else-a pure
and simple Republican, favoring meas
ures inimical to any interest In Ohio.
There should be recognition of this
fact and then the result will be his
overwhelming defeat.

His Mind UnssttIed By Dog Bite.
A curious case presented itself at the

son Of q man who had received o slight
bite on the little finger Of his left hand.
The hand and forearm swelled to enor-
nous proportions and caused the man
sxcruciating pain The hydrophobia
question has been agitated 80 much late
ly that the man at once concluded that
he was becoming victim Of the dread
malady. Tuesday night, while he and
his wife were peacefully sleeping, he
suddenly awoke and almost bit piece
out Of her neck. This circumstance as
much as anything else put the man in a
distressing state Of mind. He deter
mined to apply for admission to the Pas
teur institute.
While waiting in the parlor his mind
suddenly became blank, his face as
sumed ghastly hue, and the eyes stuck
out in their sockets to much more than
their normal size He talked wildly,
and could remember nothing that had
happened. All at once he came out Of
his strange condition and talked natural
ly. he said he remembered losing his
senses, but further than that he knew
nothing. The dog that bit him is COM

The Wise Muskrat.

The muskrat has added bis prediction
to those already made concerning hard
winter. The Indians attach more i'm
portance to the muskrat sign than to any
other. They measure the probabilities
of the winter by the size of the muskrat's
hut. If he builds low it means an open
winter. If his house is over two feet
high it means severity Of winter
weather in proportion to the height. The
nusRrat is putting up seven story
