All Indians greatly dislike what
they call the white mans smell, and
can detect it with perfect ease. Il
have" says a Western man, "en-
tered tepees of the Utes filled with
Indians who had not bathed for a
year, and whose aroma rose to heav-
en-, and every one of them would
complain of the odor that brought
in with me. The same feeling is
manifested by the Chinese, who
themselves have a very marked
odor that is intensely disagreeable
to whites. As a matter of fact,
each race has its peculiar odor,
which is not perceptible by people
of similar origin. but which is plain
ly noticeable by those of different
blood"

his happiest home-is about to be

Shipped to Chicago. where it will be

wide, and is divided into four rooms.

Denson's remarkable administra-
ton of justice was that he usually
managed to get at the truth of a
case, and never allowed any legal
technicalities to influence his de-
cisions. If a man was guilty he was
punished in some way, and if inno-
cent he was discharged. True, the
Judge decided a great many cases
over which the laws of the State
gave him no jurisdiction, and in
many ways he violated the letter of
the statutes, but as his decisions
were usually just from a moral
standpoint, they were allowed to
stand.
Several times dissatisfied parties
to civil suits and lawyers called the
attention of the Governor or the
grand jury to Denson's methods OF
doing business, but every investi-
CATION resulted in a vindication for
the Judge. Once he was called be-
fore a grand jury and asked if be
knew what law was.
eyes, he answered. Law Is a
lot of stuff put in books by lawyers
to keep honest people out of their
rights
"The jury thought this definition
was so near the truth that they
allowed the Judge to go. After
eighteen years. service he declined
to accept the Office again, to the
regret of his friends"

Italy's Project.

The Halv, Roman newspaper.
says that the Italian governments
about to address circular to the
European powers submitting the
conduct of the United States gov
ernment in the New Orleans affair
to their judgment. In this way It.
ally will be the initiator of an inter-
national agreement to compel the
United States to find means to guar
antee the protection of foreign
subjects.
It is not very likely that Italy in
tends to take such q step, and it is
extremely unlikely that she could
elicit from the European powers
response which would be favorable
to the plan she proposes. No ma
tion in Europe will be eager to assent
to plan which has as its object the
compelling of, the United States to
do anything. Our limitless resour-
ces and our ability to defend our
selves are thoroughly well known
in Europe, even though we have at
the present time only the nucleus
of navy and skeleton army, and
any combination of European ma
tions that could be imagined would
think twice before attempting to ap-
ply compulsion to the United States.
But suppose that Italy should
send out this circular letter, and
that all the powers of Europe should
agree to compel the United States
to find means to guarantee the pro.
lection of foreign subjects, what
would happen2 Simply this, that
the United States would at once
provide against any trouble on ac-
count of foreign subjects by rigor-
ously excluding all aliens except
such as should come here with the
intent of becoming American citi-
zens. Laws would be passed at
once which should require all i'm
migrants except transitory guests
travellers, and aliens who come here
in some official capacity, to renounce
their allegiance to their native coun
try the moment they set foot or
American soil, or to 60 back to the
country whence they came. Tht
line would be drawn sharply anc
clearly, and the United States woule
flatly refuse to guarantee the pro
lection of aliens who retained thei
foreign citizenship.
To such a measure of self-pro
lection as this no exception coult
be taken. We have allowed tn
asylum idea to pass unchallenget
for century, but if Europe under
takes to compel us to give alien
greater rights and privileges thar
native-born citizens have or claim
we will shut the doors of the asylum
and bar them on the inside. w

rights as sovereign nation, ant

The Coming Conflict Between Pow

ATE STONES FOR BREAD.
Remarkable Abnormal Appetite of a
Colored insane Patient.
Ero,,, tho Pb iIndeL,1hio Prose


From the Philadelphia Press.
New YORK, Oct. 22.-On the marble
nantelpiece in the Office of DR.. Fleming, in
the asylum for the insane at Fletbush,
stands glass jar containing a curious COL
lection of nails, chunks Of coal, buttons,
little pieces Of tinware, stones of various
sizes, and colors and fish vertehra.
Thereby hangs q tale.
John B. Woodley at one time owned them
He carried them around with him for sew
eral years until he died Then they were
taken away from him by DR.. Fleming aud
DR.. Smith, who performed the post mortem
examination and explored his stomach.
There they found the collection now in the
glass jars.
Woodley was a patient at the asylum.
He was colored, and when committed to
the institution gave his occupation as a la
borer. He was Al years old.
While working about the grounds his fell
low workmen noticed that he was almost
continually picking up stones and either
tossing them high up in the air or putting
them in his mouth to chew on. 1t is said
that Woodley could break an ordinary stone
with his teeth without apparent effort. He
often told his associates that if be were hun
CRY he could make a fair meal out of Jumps
Of coal, stones and other things, which to
the ordinary mortal would prove decidedly
indigestible.
On one occasion, about a year ago, it is
claimed that Woodley and a nurse named
Joseph Fitzpatrick had tussle over the
possession of a silver watch chain belonging
to the nurse. Woodley became frantic and,
finally capturing it. put the whole chain in
his mouth and began chewing vigorously.
That was the last seen Of the chain. Wood
ley died on Oct. 10.

A MANIAC
Makes Very Dangerous Counterfeit
Ten-DoIlar Bill.

Ten-DoIlar Bill.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct 25-Samuel Farley
and Charles Cooper employed as attendants
at the Central Indiana Insane Asylum were
arrested last night for passing counterfeit
$40 national bank bill on A. ]. Smith, a
street car conductor.
The arrest developed a singular fact The
bill was made by Franklin Bradley, for
many years patient under treatment at
the insane ASYLUM. He imagines he is a
daring and skillful counterfeiter, and years
ago he
BURNED OFF THE LITTLE FINGER
of his right hand, thinking that by so doing
it added to his skillsas an engraver. He
takes ordinary white paper, which he crum-
pies and gives an old aud soft appearance
by a process Of his own.
The execution OF the bill is all done by q
pen with common red and black ink The
back Of the bill is an exact fac-simile and
calculated to deceive. The front has an ex-
cellent portrait of Washington, but the
picture representing the landing OF Column
bus ia replaced with fantastic fancies, one of
which represents
PASSENGER TRAIN IN MOTION.
Some years ago Bradley made $50 bill,
which was seized by the secret service and
is on deposit at Washington.
The asylum authorities have permitted
him to exercise his peculiar talent TO divert
his mind, without thought that his work
was calculated TO deceive.
After his arrest Farley claimed that he
bought the bill of fellow-a ttendant for rs
cents and sold it to the conductor as a Gu.
riosity for 81. The conductor. however,
sets up that he gave change for its full
value.
Cooper and Farley we're appointed from
Shelby county, and bear excellent reputa-
tions. They will be prosecuted on the
double charge of passing counterfeit stuff
and having fraudulent money in their pos
session.

From, the Nelo York World
SHELBYvILLE, IND, Oct. 22.-Dr. John
w. Riley, prominent citizen of SARDINIA,
Decatur county, bought. three years ago,
at sherifF's sale, large farm house near
that village known as the old Clendenning
place.
Yesterday, while reroo1ng the house, car
penters found hanging to the rafters of a
oEe-story kitchen addition the skeleton OF a
human being wrapped in a sheet From
all appearances the skeleton has been there
for several years.
DR.. Riley began an investigation and
brought to light these facts: About fifteen
years ago John Clendenning, who owned
the farm, died, leaving $4,000 to his son
John, aud daughter Emma, then married
to man named Shank. In tue distribution
OF his estate the homestead fell to John, who
squandersd his property.
About the time of these reverses a fine
nay horse was found on Johns premises sad
died and bridled. Young ClendenninG adj
veftised it as stray horse. From that
TIRE young Clendenning became melau-
ohoiy and shortly afterward he disappeared
and has never been heard OF since.
Shortly before the disappearance of Glen

That when he left home he rode a horse
