EX-SENATOR JOSEPH E. MDoNALD
PASSES AWAY.
A Dramatic Scene at the Hoosier States
mans Deathbed-He Bids His Friends
Goodbye and Lies Down to Sleep.

INDIANAPOLIS, June 2l.-Ex-Senator
Mcdonald died at IL :35 tonight. This
morning unfavorable symptoms ap-
peared, and during the day the patients
condition continued to grow worse.
This afternoon Rev. Mr.. Milburn was
sent for and administered the sacra-
.ment Then Mcdonald called his family
and intimate friends about him and
calmly gave the directions for his
funeral arrangements and the disposi-
ton of his personal affairs. In the
presence of all, he said he wished to
give testimony to his faith in, Gods
saving grace Then ne grasped each by
the hand and bade them good bye, say
ing he could see no more callers.
Joseph Ewing Mcdonald was born in
Butler county, Ohio, August 20, 1919.
He lost his father in infancy, and was
educated till his thirteenth year, by his
mother, when he was apprenticed to a
saddler. He entered Wabash college, at
Charlottesville, Ind, at the age OF IS,
supporting himself by working at his
trade at odd hours and between terms !;
was at Asbury university in 1840-'42,
and after leaving college studied law.
He was admitted to the bar in 1874, and
began practice at Charlottesville in .lS45.

PARIS, June 21.-The Comte de Mont
bello, who replaces De Laboulaye as
French ambassador at st. Petersburg,
will be specially charged to obtain
definite information from the czar as to
the action of Russia in the event OF war
between France and Germany. Ribot,
minister of foreign affairs, has learned
that De Laboulaye's failure to get pro-
posals for an alliance arose from the
czar's anger at the fact that the overture
was first submitted to De Giers, Russian
minister of foreign affairs, instead of to
him. The car ordered De Giers to ig-
more the proposals for negotiations, and
took the first occasion to snub De La
boulaye, who felt compelled to ask
Ribot to relieve him from his
duties. The withdrawal of Baron
Mohrrenheim, the Russian ambassador
at Paris, is imminent, as De Laboulaye
acted on his advice. During the visit of

THE QUEEN IN POLITICS.
VICTORIA LIKES TO BE ON THE
POPULAR SIDE.
Her Majesty Places Herself on Record
on the Irish Self f-Government Cues
tion In Very Clever Way.

LONDON, June 2l.-The position of the
queen in English politics is usually sup
posed 10 be generally passive. In for
eign politics she has been known to be
greatly interested; but with internal
English politics she has hitherto been
credited with interfering little. At the
opportune moment, when the Conserv
ative scheme for local self-gcvernment
for Ireland is about to be contrasted with
Gladstone's home rule, her majesty has
permitted the publication of confden-
tial communication which she sent to
the archbishop OF Canterbury on the
eve of another crisis in Irish political
history-the Introduction of bills for
the establishment of the church in Ire
land. The inference is that her ma
jesty desires to make Archbishop Tait's
memoirs the, medium of divulg-
ing what her attitude then
was, with view to the applica-
ton OF the information to the present
events. Her majesty did not approve of
the disestablishment policy, but she ac-
cepted the decision of the country and
the commons, and she used her influence
to induce the lords on the one hand to
accept the bill, and Gladstone to take
conciliatory methods with the lords.
The archbishop of Canterbury was her
mediator and go between. When the
bill went into the lords, the general ex-
pectation was that they would reject it,
and that another of those constitutional
crises would arise which threaten the
existence of the upper house, as now
constituted. Undoubtedly, if the peers
had rejected the disestablishment bill,
Gladstone would have been backed up
by the enraged country, and the always
impending agitation to disestablish the
peers as legislative body, would have
received dangerous momentum.
The queen wrote to the archbishop:
Concerning the circumstances under
which the measure has come to the
house of lords, the queen cannot regard
without the greatest alarm the proba-
BILE effect OF its absolute rejection in
| that house. Carried'as it has been, by
an overwhelming majority through
the commons, chosen expressly to speak
| the. feeling of the country ON the qnes-
| ton, there seems no reason to believe
that any fresh appeal to the people
would lead to a different result. The
rejection of the bill, therefore, would
only serve to bring the two houses into
collision,> and so prolong dangerous
agitation of the subject"
These words, pregnant of application
in the early future, are being quoted
throughout the liberal press as proof in
anticipation that the queen, accepting
the verdict Of the country on home rule,
will use all her power and personal in
fuence to prevent the lords from op-

since January. Perfect order reigns in
Chile and the army is well disc iplined
and anxious to go to Tarapaca and make

RED BLUFF, June 21.-About two

son of A. Walton, dairyman, drove
forty-fve head of choice milk cows to a
field of green corn. The cows COM

DON'T UNSEX.

The admonition of the great and good
man, Cardinal Gibbon, quoted below, is
commended to those women who sigh
for the privilege of entering the political
arena. The great church he represents
gives forth no uncertain sound in regard
to the debt which woman owes to Chris
tianity and the church, and as to her
sphere. This is what the cardinal said in
a recent Lenten sermon:
Christian wives and mothers, what
an immense debt of gratitude you owe to
Christ and his church for your emanci-
patton and the dignity which you enjoy
IN the commonwealth. If you are no
longer slaves of mans passions, like the
women of Asia, but his peer and his
equal; If you are no longer tenant at
will, like the wives of pagan Greece and
Rome. but the mistress of your house
hold; if you are no longer confronted bv
usurping rivals like Mohamedan and
Mormon wives, but if you are the queen
of the domestic kingdom, you are in
debted for this position to the church.
said you are the queen of the domes-
tic kingdom. If you would retain that
empire shun the political arena, avoid
the rostrum, beware of unsexing YOUR
self. If you become imbroiled in politi-
cal agitation the queenly aureole that
encircles your brow will fade away, and
the reverence that is paid to you will
disappear. If you have the vain ambi-
ton of reigning in public life your do
meStlc empire will be at an end"
