EoNpoN, April %. business circles are
surprised at dispatch received from
the United States stating that England
has intimated her readiness to join u
conference to bring about an enlarged
use of silver. That part of the report
which states that the basis of confer

unworthy of belief The Times Satur-
day said it was not easy TO see what
enlarged use" can mean.
The Times remarks: "a decided ma
jority of those competent to Judge re-
gard the issue of notes based on silver
with great disfavor. A certain amount
of silver could be employed to increase
the value of our token currency, which,
at the present price of the metal. is
overvalued TO an extent considerably
greater than necessary or desirable but
the general sense of the community is
steadfastly opposed to anything like an
attempt to rehabilitate silver.

Whitcsidc. She was accused of va
grancy. The colored people were
brought into the public square at II

gathered. The whites made fun of the
poor victims, and the blacks freely
expressed their displcasure at the
scene that so cruelty brought to
their minds the days of actual
slavery The woman was put up
first. She brought ten dollars for the
sixty days work that the county fined
her. The men sold for ten, twelve and

VICTORY FOR THE PRESS.
The Indiana Supreme Court Makes An
Important Decision.

INDIANAPOLIS, April 23.-The supreme
w. o. Fishback, of the Terre Haute
Express, from the Vigo county Jail,
where they were sent by Judge Taylor
for twenty and thirty days, respective
ly, for contempt The decision, which
was written by Judge Olds, is concurred
in by the entire bench. The court holds
that it is Legitimate and proper for the
press to call the attention of the Judge,
and grand jury, and officers of
the law to violations of law, believed to
have been committed, and ask that an
investigation be made. This, the court
said, had been done by the Tcrre Haute
papers in this instance. The
court then reviewed the articles
which had been printed in the
Express, and held that they did
not cast any reflection upon the court.
They were rather in the nature of
criticism of the grand jury. Farther
along in the opinion Judge Olds says
that it ought to be understood that the
public press has rights with which
courts have no power to interfere. 1t is
also recognized by him that there is
limit beyond which self-respecting
newspapers should not pass. In sum-
ming up, the court holds that the de-
PENDANTS We're entitled to acquittal on
their answer, and the decision is there
fore reversed, and the case remanded
back for a rehearing.

CINCINNATI, April 25.-The agents in
this city of the New Orleans Insurance
Co. were Saturday morning notified by
the home office to discontinue doing
business for them, and to wind up the
compauy's affairs as speedily as posi-
bic, as they had decided to rein
sure and go out of business. The
reason for this action is that the late
heavy losses by the cotton fires at New
Orleans, Memphis, Vicllsburg and other
southern cities has almost impoverished
it's capital stock of 81 .OC0 goo. and. after
winding mp its affairs, there viii be
hardly more than - cents on the
dollar to pay over to their stocIihold-
ers. The California Insurance Co.
represented in Cincinnati by Bament e

policies and closed its entire business to
the Home Insurance Co. of New York
and the Pacific business of the company
to the Firemcn's Fund Insurance Co. of

POT PoURRI OF ROSES.

A Delicate Perfume That Is q Joy For
Sver.
Gather the rose petals in the early
morning, and place them in a cool,
shady place for an hour to dry. Toss
them lightly, and then put layers, with
salt sprinkled freely between, in large
covered glass dish. You may add fresh
petals to this every morning. When
you have a sufficient quantity, let the
whole stand ten days, shaking thor
oughly every morning. Now, in the
bottom of q glass fruit jar place two
ounces of whole allspice, crushed, and
two ounces of stick cinnamon, broken
coarsely. Fill the jar with rose petals
and salt. This must now stand six
weeks, or even longer, when it may be
prepared for the permanent jar. Dur
ing these six weeks the jar should be
perfectly air tight.
Mix together one ounce each of
groud cloves, allspice, cinnamon and
mace; one ounce Of orris root, shredded
and bruised; two ounces of lavender
flowers. These are the proportions to
be used to one quart of the rose petals.
Place this mixture in alternate layers
with the contents of the glass fruit
jar, in the more ornamental jar that is
to be used permanently. If you choose
you may add few drops of the oil of
your favorite flower, rose, geranium or
violet, and pour over the whole one
quarter of a pint of good cologne. This
pot-pourri will last for years. From
time to timO you may add a little laven-
er water or any nice perfume. The
fragrant odor from a rose jar filled with
leaves and fragrant spices is very pene-
trating, and is particularly pleasant in
large drawing-rooms and halls. The
odor is not only refreshing, but delight
full as well. A rose jar filled with
good stock should never be
allowed to remain constantly open;
if the covers are removed for
an hour at time twice day, your
rooms will become permeated with a
sweet, reviving odor, that will be de-
| light to all who enter your home
Now, one word When you select
your rose jar, the best are those with
double covers without perforaUions in
| either cover. You will find them with
| a single cover; with double cover, the
| outer one perforated; and the best of
all is the one which have mentioned.
My jar is of imported Japanese ware
with such a cover, and the Japanese
people may be said to be conRoisseurs
in all things that delight the olfac-
tories. In conclusion, let me say, if you
own q rose bush, by all means have a
rose jar. 1t is not only a delightful
thing to prepare, but once prepared,
you will find it
IA thing OF beauty, and joy forever"
