BOOSIER REPUBLICANS.
They are Told that Doodle Carried Indiana
for Harrison.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. The Repub-
lican conference here was very lively
affair. It was intended to be secret,
but the secrets are out. The meeting
composed of the district committeeman,
together with advisory members and
prominent Republicans from all over
the State, was the largest one held here
for years, but it was the most dismal
affair that ever took place in the city.
The object of this assembly was to
choose chairman in place Of Mich
ener and to agree upon some plan of
campaign. The Gresham men had the
power to name the chairman, but they
could not find prominent man to ac-
cept the place. The Harrison element
were in a worse predicament. They
had an enemy inside their own camp.
Michener, although not present,
| showed his hostility to the Harrison
Administration.
C. W. Fairbanks Of this city made an
earnest appeal for harmony, which was
| well received. He was followed by Al
Wishard, who said that Harrison was
the cause of the whole trouble. STAN
ton J. Peele said there were too many
issues in the Republican party. The
G. o. P. had been conducted in Pres
byterianism lines long enough. More
liberalism was what the party wanted.
Judge Chapin of Fort Wayne there
upon jumped up and stopped Mr.. Peele
from abusing his church.
When the Eighth district was called
for views on the deplorable state Of the
party, w. T. Brush, lawyer Of Craw-
fordsville, created sensation. He said:
"Gentlemen you can talk about har-
mony and more cheap newspapers and
organization, but that will not restore
US to power in Indiana. It is no use
to deceive ourselves. There are more
Democrats in this State than Republi-
cans. The only way we can win IS oy
inducing Democrats to vote our ticket.
Can We induce them to vote the Re
publican ticket with Republican news
papers and lots of harmony? No. But
Doodle will do it! Doodle did it in 1880
and 1888 and Doodle can do it in 1892.
Gentlemen, if you can, devise some
scheme to evade the Australian elec-
ton law which the Democrats adopted
to protect themselves against our effec-
tive methods"
"Ain'tyou givin' it to US pretty raw?"
interrupted a Gresham man.
"Oh, what is the use of denying it,
gentlemen. You all know that In
diana was carried for Harrison by boo,
ble," answered Brush.

The Defaulters of Last Year.

\ Chicago paper has complied some
very interesting statistics, showing how
much money the defaulters of the coun-
try appropriated to their own use the
last year. The total amount stolen by
bank officials, administrators, clerks,
ETC., was sS,6222, 955. Pennsylvania suf-
fered most from defalcations, losing
- 33226, ,S377, and New York made good
second with S1,s2e, ,27O. The Indian
Territory had very few defaulters, and
they embezzied only $500. Georgia and
South Carolina lost very little, the
former State losing only $l6,1OO, and
South Carolina only $4,000. Missls-
sippi headed the list of the Southern
States with $315,S12. November was
the most dishonest month of the year.
During that month the defaulters
scooped 81 ,550,SOO. June was serenely
moral, with defalcations amounting to
only 1891, ,31S.

Several small fry members concurred
in Mr.. Brush's view.
A member from the natural gas belt
then roasted the journal, John G..
News paper, in a five-minute speech.
He said the Sentinel had been raising
hades with the Republican party, and
some new thing ought to be done to
counteract it. A number of speeches
were made by pronounced Michener
men, showing that the late Chairman
was hostile to the Administration.
Gov. Steele of Oklahoma and Russell
B. Harrison tried to restore harmony,
but without success. Crumpacker Of
Laporte was made to use a mild ex-
preston. He denounced Harrison and
the whole gang supporting him.

POOR BLIND TOM.
The Colored Musical Prodigy Insane aud
Sinking Fast.

Poor "Blind Ton," the cratic musi-
cal genius of a decade ago, is driveling;
away the remaining months of an
eventful life at q private retreat in ST.
Marks place. He has been there for.
some time an idiot, and now oonsump-
ton has set its iron grasp upon his
once tough frame, and his days are:
numbered.
Blind Tom" earned in his day some
thing like s5Oo,o0o. To-day he is conn.
paratiVeiy a pauper and the wonder is
what has become Of the fortune he.
made, as he was always in charge ofa
guardian, and was never allowed to
spend it.
Judge Andrews Of the SupremeCour
yesterday confirmed a report of Referee.
Jerome Buck, allowing the estate Of
Daniel P. Holland $1,000 for services
rendered and pecessaries furnished The
mad musician during the lifetime of
Holland
The Judge observed that it was sad
ly apparent that there would be moth
ing left for the maintenance Of the.
poor idiot after all claims were paid.
When Col. Bethune died few years
ago he left Tom to the care Of his wife:
Elsie. She in time was appointed a.
committee by the court to maintain
Tom. Soon, however, he broke down.
in health, became dangerously insane
and was placed under restraint. His
frame has shrunken to a mere shadow
his fingers have become palsied and he
cannot evolve the sweet strains which
have enchanted thousands.
The wonder is what has become OF
+ the money which Col. Bethune was
obliged, by mandate Of the court, to
| deposit for Toms maintenance. Itwas.
supposed to be 25 per cent. of the NET
| proceeds of the entertainments given.
That would give Tom at least S125, 600
in his own right.
There is now, it IS authoritatively
stated, less than $1,000 in the exche-
quer. The $1,000 judgment entered yes.
terday will make an awful cash in the
fund. Present indications are that
Blind Tom, who earned over half q
million dollars, will die in the poor
house and be buried in the potter's
field.

THE CLEMSON COLLEGE.
The Agricultural Department to beBrought
Closer to the People.
[From the Anderson Peoples Advo-
cate.7


In the course of a personal interview
with Col. R. w. Simpson, the Presi-
dent of the Board of Trustees of the
Clemson College, he said that it is the
purpose of the board to bring the Agri-
cultural Department in more direct
contact with the people, and make it a
medium O. communication with the
people, in Keeping them posted on all
|'matters pertaining to agriculture and
Che experiments of that nature con-
Quoted at the college, and that it will
be the aim of this department to putt
self in close touch with the people by
holding farmers Institutes during the
summer vacation.
It is 8 we'll known fact that the items
of board and tuition is what debars
many a poor youth of ability from en-
tering college, and it is on this line that
Clemson proposes to offer superior ad-
vantages to the sons of poor men by
reason of it's handsome income ofabout
$4,000, not a dollar Of which is raised
by taxation, and the handsome real
estate property which it owns, consist
ing of an immense body of the finest
lands in the Piedmont belt, upon which
it is proposed to raise the larger part of
the supplies of the mess hall table and
thus furnish board 10 the students at a
minimum cost, it is thought not to ex-
ceed So or 81 per month.
In addition to this, provision will be
made for students to pay part Of this
by laboring certain number of hours
daily in the field, and furthermore it is
proposed to keep large number Of
sheep on the farm, from the sale Of the
wool of which it is proposed to furnish
a clothing fund to aid poor young men
in supplying themselves with clothing.
Ne young man who wishes to acquire
a chronological training will be per-
mitted to leave the college without
having his education developed along
other lines which 60 to make up well
rounded, practical man.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Board is somewhat embarrassed, by
reason of the failure of the Legislature
to appropriate the $4,000 asked for to
complete the building at once, it is con-
templated to fill the faculty in June
and open the college for students on
the first of october, using class rooms
and dormitories such buildings as will
then be completed, and erect the main
building during the following year.
Col. Simpson also stated to us that
despite certain publications to the con-
trary not a single member of the board
has received or will receive a single
cent as compensation for services rem
dered, they being entirely gratuitous,
and it is matter of grest surprise that
the statement should have been made
in certain papers that the Board Of
Trustees had voted to- pay the three
| members Of the Board Of Control a
salary of $4,000 each. There is not
syllable of truth in the entire statement,
as they give their services to the COL
lege.

Der of the South Carolina Club, I had
pursued the course did upon toe broad
ground that an anonymous slanderer
was not fit to enter an association of
gentlemen. Mr.. Legare then inquired
whether l would
MEET TILLEAN OUT OF THE STATE
TO settle the matter. I replied that I
had once before allowed myself to be
placed in & false position by stating in
advance whether I would or would not
accept challenge, and that I did not
intend to be caught in ! trap again. I
said to him: 'IfMr. Jim Tillman wants
to challenge me let him 60 ahead and
do it, and will take whatever course
l may deem proper Mr.. Legare an
sWered that
TILLMAN DID NOT WISH
10 send a formal challenge because it
was against the law. I told him that
it was against the law to fight duel.
He then said that it was proposed to
fight outside Of the State, and that this
invitation was to be taken in lieu of a
challenge. To this I said: "Tell Mr..
jim lillman that if he proposes to ap-
peal to the Code Duello he will have to
conform to the requirements of the
Code, and tie Code prescribes very
definitely the methods by which
challenge is to be made and presented.
| do dot propose to post him in advance
as to my intentions. Let him make
bis challenge according to the Code if
he is 50 anxious to fight, and I will
make my reply according to the Code.'
With this left him and have been
since expecting genuine challenge,
but have, so far, received none. From
the announcements made in Augusta,
whittier, I am informed, young Till
man went after leaving Columbia, it is
evident to me that
HE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPORTS
there set afloat. I cannot conceive
that Mr.. Legare could have lent him
self knowingly to so paltry a trick as
that which this fellow Tillman seems
disposed to play at my expense. Ger
tainly do not consider that he has
challenged me, and yet it seems that
be is posing as challenger whose
gauntlet has not been accepted.
IF he had had any real idea of fight
ing, it seems 10 me that he would have
sent definite challenge, would have
kept his brother-in-law, O. w. Buch-
anan, from circulating in Columbia the
report that challenge had been given,
and would himself have refrained from
gaseonading to the same effect in Au-
gusta. People who want to fight don't
run to newspaper offices and notify the
public and police that they are going
to have deadly encounter at Sand
Bar Ferry, so that the officers can ef-
fectually prevent the possibility Of
meeting. I regret having to make so
long statement aboutso contemplate
an object as this callow braggart."
The whole affair seems to be now at
rest. VI. F. F.

Rearing Turkeys.

Turkeys have the name of being delicate
and difficult to raise, in consequence of
which they are not often kept where they
might be with advantage. In a suitable
place turkeys are among the most protta-
bic of all domestic poultry. They are un-
doubtedly delicate if kept on damp soil,
but where the ground is dry and the posi-
ton not too exposed they will do we'll. A
necessity to securing success is the provi-
sion of shelter for the young birds during
that critical period known as shooting the
red.' When about two months old, how
ever, the chicks are as hardy as other
fowls, and can brave the weather without
injury. The prices obtained for prime
turkeys and the heavy weights to which
they can be forced to grow render them
exceedingly profitable, and we'll repay the
extra care attendant on the chicks during
the first two months of their lives.
The varieties of turkeys recognized by
the American standard of perfection are
bronze, Narragansett, buff, slate, black
and white. Tho black turkeys approaches
most nearly to the wild bird, but fattens
more readily. The bronze, which mo-. t
closely resembles the wild bird in color, is
the most rapid in growth, quickest to fat
ten, and according to some authorities, the
heaviest of all. The N~arragansetts and
whites are the most domestic.

A Serene Spirit.

Our text, this Sunday morning, breth-
rem, is "A Serene Spirit" OF all the forces
at work upon "this mundane sphere" one
of the grandest, not to say most powerful,
is a serene spirit, or to slightly para
phrase scripture, possessing ones soul in
patience"
Not. that the possessor thereof is sure OF
prosperity and success lin the ordinary &C.
ceptance of those words). On the con
trary, he is often unfortunate-apt o have
more than his share of disappointments
and failures, in business plans and finan
cial undertakings, but when the crisis OF
defeat comes, he meets it calmly, coura.
geously, resolutely. His heart being "aizy
co it's in the right place." he does not get
excited, irritable and impatient, but heroi'
cally views the situation, and if there is
any modifying aspect of the disaster, he is
sure to see it and get all the comfort out
of it he can. His serenity sustains him
while the impulsive and nervous would Fly
off on a tangent" and do rash, defiant
things they would have to feel sorry for all
the rest of their lives, or worry themselves
sick, all to no purpose.
But the serene spirit is not always ap-
preciated-that is, not till "a%fterwards.'
His friends find fault with him because he
stakes things so easy" us they say. They
wish he would show proper resentment
and righteous Indignation" and all that
as if resentment and Indignation could set
things right! But in the retrospect, how
admirable, and sublime, even, does his at
titude of self-reliance appear!
The serene spirit has a higher vision
than ordinary mortals. That is his secret.
In times of great public agitation, polite
al disturbance, and national unrest, what
q strength and stay is the serene spirit!
Without really being a controlling force, he
uncOnsciously influences all around him.
His very presence assures them. They
may not admit that his outlook is above
and beyond them, but that is it. They
trust his good sense and judgment and
somewhere catch something of his cheer
full, hopeful, spirit. If you know his abid-
ing place, brethren, seek the serene spirit,
even though it make you ashamed that
you have idly fretted and fumed and wor-
ried, and may the sweetness md peace of
the serenity enter your own hearts and
abide there-Amen.-Grand Forks Plain
