INDIANAPOLIS, May 3O-The following
peculiar circular, marked "conhdential,p

Central Committee.
President Harrison has had no political
managers, no conferences, no workers in
the field, no personal plan Of campaign, and
all the generalship, all the scheming and all
the enterprise has been on the side Of his
political opponents. No president ever fol
lowed a more dignifed course, and no presi
dent suspected Of wishing a denomination
ever entered a national convention with d
following so disorganized, so chaotic and SC
uncertain in numbers. Even the presi

FInridn for Hnrrlson.

WASHINGTON, May 3O.-Judge John G..
Long, Of Florida, and a delegate at large 70
the Minneapolis convention, is here. He
says his delegation will vote solidly for
Harrison as long as his name is before the
convention. He says he has always been a
Blaine man, but Blaine's letter left his
friends no alternative but choice between
other candidates. Mr.. Blaiues timely
declaration on this important question
should be accepted in good faith. Anything
short of this would be a reflection upon Mr.
Blaine.

WASHINGTON, May SO.-The return Of

from New Yorklto the national capital the
center of interest in the presidential cam
paign.s There were all sorts Of rumors cur
rent respecting the intentions Of the secre-
J tary Of state and 80 far as could be learned
they were all without foundation. One
was that he had determined to resign from
the cabinet; another was that he had pre-
pared a statement setting forth his inten-
tions with respect to the nomination; a
third was that with friends he was holding
conference to determine upon a course Of
action. The gossip was considerably augu-
mented at late hour last night by the un-
expected arrival in the city Of ex-senator

latest journey from Zanzibar to the African
interior, written by Dr. Stuhlmann, have

wa.hip~ton.s First Love Affair.

George Fairfax was the companion of
Washington on his surveying tour for
Lord Fairfax. Washington first met
Mrs. Fairfax at Belvoir. near Mount
Vernon, when she was brought home as
the bride of George William Fairfax.
Miss Mary Cary accompanied her sister
Sarah to Belvoir, and there met George
Washington. She was then but four
teen years of age. Washington was
only sixteen. He had never visited the
low country near Williamsburg prior to
this, and therefore could not have met
Sarah Cary until her marriage. 1t is
said that he fell in love at sight with
Mary Cary, and went SO far on his first
visit to Williamsburg as to ask Colonel
Cary for the hand of his daughter.
The big rawboned lad found scant
favor IN the eyes of the patrician planter.
He was dismissed in terms so curt that
we must bear in mind paternal pride
and other extenuating circumstances if
we would keep intact our idea of fine
old Virginia gentleman.
"If that ia your business here, sir, ]
wish you to leave the housel My daugh-
ter"-the swelling emphasis rumbles
down the corridor of years-''has been
accustomed to ride in her own coach"
Tradition asserts that the chagrined
suitor took the choleric parent at his
word, and that the next time he looked
upon the face of his early love was when
he passed through Williamsburg on his
return from Yorktown after the surren-
der of CORVALLIS. is.-Marion Harland in

Wash Fruit BEFORE Eating If

The following curious instance is re-
ported by NJ. Schnirer of the ease with
which consumption germs may be dis
seminated. While at work one day in
the laboratory of Weichselbaum, he
sent for some grapes to eat. The fruit
had been kept for some time in basket
outside the lavatory and was covered
with dust, so that the wafer in which it
was washed was black. On examining
it he reflected that, inasmuch as the
neighboring street was traversed by con-
sumptive patients going to the clinic.
the dust probably was charged with
tubercle bacilli. To settle this. M.
Schnirer injected into three guinea pigs
ten cubic centilneters of water in which
the grapes had been washed. One ami
NAL died in two days from peritonitis,
the two others died on the forty eighth
and fifty-eighth days. respectively, pre-
senting marked tuberculous LESSONS,
especially at the place of injection.
The water in which the grapes had
been washed was taken from the faucet,
and the glass containing it had been
sterilized; neither the boy who had
bought the grapes, nor the merchant
who had sold them, was consumptiye.
The cause of the infection was, beyond
doubt, the dust on the grapes. This ex-
pertinent illustrates the danger arising
from the dissemination of desiccated
tuberculous sputa in the air. Halls

Such q wantic Affair.

She was a convalescent from La grippe
and as she leaned back in the depths OF
her easy chair she played with the roses
in her lap, which had been brought her
by the first caller she had been able to
receive, and smiled over some stories he
was telling her of summer at-well,
We'll only say at a certain fashionable
watering place on Narragansett bay.
"One of the beauties whom used to see
at the casino," said he, "was a young
married belle about twenty-three or
four, should think, and her husband
was about sixty, and it was great fun
watching them. There was such a good
story. bona tide truth it was, too. about
their engagement. He called at her
home one evening and offered his heart.
hand and fortune in correct style.
Pretty Miss Bud said she must ask
mamma and coyly tripped up stairs to
mamma, who told her that every girl
did not get such chance as that, and of
course she was to accept him.
Down she went. picturing the ardent
lover awaiting her return with anxious,
throbbing heart and found the old gen.
tleman comfortably asleep in the big
gest armchair, while an occasional snore
attested to the depth of his slumbers. ,"
81 hope she didn't wake the poor old
thing up" said the. convalescent, when
she got her breath again after her laugh.
''Oh, yes she did. Catch her losing that
chance! She woke him up and told him
it was all right and she'd have him.

Beautv "a a National Trait.

Is there any handsome people on the
face of the globe? Now, we may set
aside the black and yellow and poly
chrome races in general, many of whom
are well shaped and like bronze statues
to look upon, but who do not come up
to the Aryan standard in features and
color. Leaving these children of nature
out of the question, it may be confessed
that there is no race among whom beau
ty is common. IF the ancient Greeks
were like their statues, then there once
was a beautiful race, but it is not so
certain that they did not idealize them
selves good deal. There is the more
reason to guess this, as when they have
to represent barbarian, say a Gaul or
German or professional prize fighter.
they make these people as handsome as
themselves, though in a rougher way.
There is famous bronze statue of a
boxer, who might be taken for an orator
or poet were it not for his heavy metal
studded gloves. Thus it may be deemed
that there is a great proportion of the
ideal in these statues, vases, coins and fig
ures, where every one is so graceful and
goodly. Every nation has high opin-
ion of its own charms. The French
pride themselves on small feet, and it is
certain that their women walk very lit
tie, and have cunning bootmakers.-
