BROTHER AND SISTER.
A Romantic Story Stirs Brownsville
Long Lost, now Found.

Monongahela Republican
About sixteen years ago two small
children, boy and a girl, lost their
parents and were placed in the In
dustrial House at Cleveland, Ohio,
to be cared for until homes could
be procured. Shortly after the boy
was adopted by well to do farmer
near Pennington, Ohio, but now a
resident of Brownsville, and an en-
graver at L. S. Wright's marble
works. AT the time the girl was ia
ken by Mr.. and Mrs. McCracken, she
was only four years old, and being
the youngest of the two, soon lost
all memory of her brother. The boy
was ten years of age when separated
from his sister, yet old enough to
have the memory of lost sister
clearly fixed in his mind, and during
all the intervening years, desire to
find the sister kept growing until he
went back to the Industrial Home at
Cleveland, thinking he might yet
find some trace. Gaining no infor-
nation, he requested the manage
ment of the Home to communicate
to him any information they might
chance to gain of the long lost sis
ter Time rolled on, the boy grew to
manhood, yet no information came.
The girl, under the guardianship
of Mr.. and Mrs. McCracken,
reached womanhood and about
five years ago became the wife of c.
10y Snowden, now proprietor of
the Central meat market near
j. D. Armstrong; drug store. The
Monitor says that some time ago,
Mr.. and Mrs. McCracken, firing of
of loneliness and the absence of the
cheerfulness of youth, decided to
again apply to the Industrial Home
for another girl to adopt. By this
means the missing link was found,
and the young man notified. Imme.
diately on receiving this intelligence
he left his home in Cleveland, where
he had resided since arriving at the
age Of manhood, and came to
Brownsville, arriving here Friday
last. He at once singled out the
residence of Mr.. McCracken and
was gladly received. He was told of
his sisters marriage to Mr.. Snowden,
a meeting was arranged, and after
many long years of separation, Rob
ert Durbin and his sister Eta, for
whom he had searched so diligently
were happily united. Mr.. Durbin,
who is a very pleasant as well as
fine looking gentleman, is now the
happy guest of his long lost sister,
Mrs. G. 10y Snowden.

surplus has to be exported, and the
producers cannot form combination
so as to secure higher rates on that
which is sold in the home market
than on that which is exported, the
tariff has no effect on the price what
ever.
Hence our tariff on wheat has not
the least effect on the price of wheat
Where the producers of an article
cannot-combine and the purchasers
can, the producers usually get but
little of the benefit of the tariff.
Hence, Notwithstanding the state
ments of the Ohio State Journal, the
farmers do not generally get the ben
eft of more than one fourth to one
half of the tariff rate The wool buy
ers can combine and refuse to pay
price sufficient to cover the tariff,
but the farmers cannot effect com
bination that would compel the buy
ers to pay that rate.
Where'the producers can combine
they will always fix the price of their
product just enough below the for
eign price to prevent importation,
and they will gain and the consum-
ers will lose very nearly the full
amount OF the tariff.
A very large proportion of all the
protected articles which the farmer
has to buy is controlled by combina-
tions which enable the producers to
obtain and compel the farmer to pay
very nearly the full amount of the
tariff.
Hence, of all the staple products
of the farm, wool is the only one on
which the price is advanced by the
tariff, and on this the advance is u.s.
ually but a fourth to a half of the
amount of the duty. But the price
of nearly every article the farmer
has to buy is advanced by the tariff,
and the advance usually amounts to
very nearly the whole of the duty.
And this is the way in which the
tariff benefits the farmer-Spring

Worlds Fair Notes.

More than 100000 feet of lum-
Der will be used in the construction
of the huge building for Manufactur.
es and Liberal Arts.
A reproduction Of Independence
Hall is now proposed as Pennsyl-
vania's building at the Exposition.
Prizes of $1,000, $500 and $500 have
been offered for the best plans for a
state building but it is thought the
state commission will seriously con
slider rejecting them all and repro
ducing Independence Hall instead.
The Association of Civil En-
gineers of the City of Mexico has
voted unanimously to attend the
Exposition in body.
American Jewellers are contem-
plating the project of massing their
exhibits at the Exposition, believing
that more effective showing can be
made in that manner. The matter
is not yet decided. Foreign jewellers
are preparing to make an exhibit of
unprecedented extent and value.
The Agricultural and Arts Asso-
citation and the Stock Breeders As
sociation of Toronto have voted to
urge the officials and government of
Ontario to take measures to have
the province properly represented at
the Exposition.
New South Wales, Australia, has
decided to participate in the EXPOSE
ton, and has appointed commission
of twelve to collect exhibits.
The Department of Transportation
is offered one Of the most valuable
relice of the early days of railroad
ing in this country and will doutless
secure it for an exhibit. The old
locomotive Samson" build in En-
gland in "the thirties" by the cele-
brated Timothy Hackworth and
brought Of this country in 1888, is
still in existence and in working or

old passenger car built in imitation
of a stage coach, both standing on
some OF the old scolloped or fish
rails. The engineer who first ran
the locomotive is still alive, and if
still living at the time Of the World
Fair may accompany the venerable
engine.
No japanese goods or exhibitions
will be permitted at the Exposition
unless they have first received the
approval of the japanese officials in
charge of their government exhibit.
The Exposition Directory rendered
this decision at the request of Japa-
nese Minister Mutsu, who is the
japanese imperial commissioner of
the Fair. A similar rule will be en-
forced in the case of other foreign
nations.

Methods Of Advertising.

An organization known as the
Business Writer'S Association" met
in Cincinnati and canvassed the
merits of the different mediums af-
forded for gaining publicity. 1t
was the unanimous opinion of those
present that the newspapers gave
the retailers the best and most di-
rect returns, and that well establish
ed trade journals and magazines
were of worth for the wholesalers
and manufacturers of wearing ap-
parel, toilet and proprietary articles.
Snap publications were condemned.

Attract and Convince.

There are two things successful
advertisement must do-attract and
convince. In other words, it must
be read and leave good impression.
In order to attract attention it must
not be simply noticeable, for that
might be on account of its shocking
and ridiculous appearance. 1t
should look new to the reader--like
something he has not read before.

Those who have been trying to
keep up with the times by reading
the press dispatches concerning the
Holy coat recently put on exhibition
at Treves, the old town in Rhenish
Prussia, have failed, of course, in
finding the information that would
naturally be most interesting, viz:
How and where the sacred garment
has been kept during the past nine
teen centuries. The purpose of this
note is to enlighten our readers on
this important point.
The coat is said to have been
spun by the Virgin Mary herself
from the wool of lamb and woven
into gray coat by St. Helena, on
the Mount of Olives. 1t came into
the hands of Jew soon after the
crucifixion, who threw it into the
sea because the blood stains would
not wash out. A whale swallowed
it. The whale was caught by a
fisherman and the gray coat found
in its belly. 1t was next sold to
Orendel, son of Eygel, Christian
King of Treves, for thirty pieces OF
silver. Orendel deposited it in a
stone coffin. Being discovered it be-
came sacred relic and has since
been Ike pit at the Cathedral Of Treves

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 23.-Gen. Alvin P.
Hovey, governor of Indiana, died this
afternoon at II 20 p. M, of heart failure.
About three weeks ago Governor Hovey
started on pleasure trip through the
west and Mexico. When the trip was
about half completed the governor was
taken suddenly i'll and had to return
home.
Governor Hovey was born in Posey
county, near Mount Vernon, Ind, in
1921. He served one term in congress
and was elected governor in 1886.
He was twice married. His first wife
died in 1862. His second wife was a
daughter of the late Caleb Smith,
secretary of the interior under President
Lincoln, and she died in 1866, two
weeks after her marriage, in New York,
while en- route to Peru, to which coun-
try General Hovey had been appointed
minister.
When the war broke out he enlisted
as a colonel in the Twenty-fourth Indi-
ana volunteers, was commissioned
brigadier-general for gallantry at Shiloh,
and he won his major-generalship at
Champion hills, At the close of the
war he was military governor of Indiana,
and upon him devolved the RESPONSE
bility of the celebrated treason trials in
which Milligan, Bowles and Humphrey
were convicted. The latter was par
doned by President Harrison.
Two children survive the governor.

at Modesto.
MODESTO, CAL, Nov. 23.-The trial OF
J. F. Blanchard, charged with COM
mitting perjury in the August Olsen
murder case at Merced in May last,
commenced in the superior court this
morning. The day was occupied in
selecting jury, and nine were secured,
when the panel was exhausted, and a
special venire was made returnable at
10 a. m. tomorrow. The defendant is
represented by Goula and McCabe,
of Merced; Samuel Hamilton, Of
Los Angeles, and w. II.
Hatton, of this city. The
prosecution is represented by the dis
trict attorney, B. F. Fowler, OF Merced,
and Gen r. j. Kittrell, of this city. The
case was transferred from Merced on
change of venue, on account of alleged
bias and feeling in that community over
the acquittal of Olsen. A large number
of witnesses from Los Angeles, Blanch-
ards home, and La Grange and Smell
ing, near the scene of the murder ol
Ivett, are in attendance. The jury have
been ordered locked up. The case will
probably be long one. and hotly con-
tested.

A WATER FAMINE.
Brooklyn Left in q Dry Condition by the
Bursting of Conduit.

Brooklyn Left in q Dry Condition by the
Bursting of Conduit.
New York, Nov. 23.-As the result of
a big break in conduit in East New
York, Saturday afternoon, by which
four men were killed, Brooklyn is on the
verge of a water famine. There is
scarcely water enough in Ridgewood
reservoir to last, even with the utmost
care, over twelve to fifteen hours. The
situation will be serious by this after
noon unless something is done before
then to remedy it. Heroic measures
have been adopted to make the present
supply of water last as long as possible,
or until relief comes, and a number of
great industries will be at standstill
for at least one day. All the factories
using the city's water have been ordered
shut down. so as to save the water for
the necessities of the general public.
The great engine which runs the cable on
Brooklyn bridge has been stopped, and
as many people as possible are showed
across the bridge by locomotives. All
the fires under the boilers at the Brook
lyn navy yard have been drawn and
work is entirely suspended. The water
has been shut off from the boilers in all
the hotels and Office buildings, and as a
consequence not an elevator in the whole
city is running this morning. Work in
every factory where steam is depended
on for motive power has been suspended,
and the number of those thrown out Of
work runs far above $4,000. 1t is hoped
the repairs can be completed tonight,
but well-informed persons say work can
not be finished before tomorrow noon at
the earliest.

SWEEPING CHARGES.
Federal Grand Jury After the Missouri
Pacific Railroad.

CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-United States
Marshal Hitchcock today received sub
penas from the United States district
court at Omaha for j. w. Midgley, J. N.
Frithorne, B. L. Carman and d. G.
Bridges to appear before the federal
grand jury, in Omaha, November 30th.
Midgley is directed to bring the records
of weights of stone shipped by Hugh
Murphy from Lyon, Colo, to Omaha
all reports, records of billing, documents
and papers pertaining to shipments
from South Omaha and Nebraska City,
showing of what the shipments
consisted. Midgley is also required
to produce all tie figures of
the tariff in effect covering shipments
from those points on the Missouri
Pacific road from January l, 1890, to the
18th of the present month; also any
further records that apply more especi-
ally to the same subject, and all way
bills of certain dates. From this it
would appear that the Omaha grand
jury is after the Missouri Pacific with a
sharp stick. 1t is asserted that the
charges preferred against that road are
sweeping, and there is certainly an indi-
cation of this. In fact the subpoena
calls for the records covering twenty
three months of the company's business.

A SERIES OF Fires.
Several Lives Lost BY the Burning of a
Hotel.

HotSks
JAMESTOWN, N. Y, Nov. 2S.-Fire
broke out in the kitchen OF the Old
Homestead hotel, three story brick
structure, early this morning and the
whole building was soon ablaze. 1t
was rumored that several persons were
in the burning building. As the fire
was driven back the fremen explored
the structure, and as they reached
the second story they found at the foot
of the stairs leading to the floor
above, the horribly burned body OF
Maggie Wilson, a waiter. Mrs. Buchan-
an, pastry cook, with her little son
and Mrs. Marsh, a dishwasher, were
found dead in room above, having
been suffocated. Several other inmates
escaped from the hotel in their night
clothing, not having time to dress. The
| financial loss is small.
| New YORK, Nov. 23.-Just before noon
fire broke out in three-story and base
ment brownstone house at 239 Carroll
street, Brooklyn. The fremen had no
water, and they had to resort to tearing
down houses on either side to prevent
the spread of the flames. Before much
headway was made in the tearing down
of buildings the fire was extinguished
with the aid of chemical engines.
PARAGoULD, Ark, Nov. 23.-Fire late
last night destroyed number of busi-
ness blocks and stores. A heavy snow
storm probably saved the town from
destruction. The loss is estimated at
$100, 600.
MIDDLEBURY, VT, Nov. 23.-Half the
business portion of the town was burned
last night. The loss will probably reach
| SI5O. 900.
