THAT FAMOUS LETTER.

Jerry Simpson tried to explain his
famous remark about men selling their
honor, women their virtue, ETC., by say
ing that he had reference to New York
and Boston. Let's see how this is. Re-
cent investigation has shown that there
are $50, 1873 depositors in the savings
banks of New York, and their deposits
aggregate S610,560,0 31. These men are
mechanics and laborers for the most
part, which proves that even in that
great aggregation of people where much
poverty and distress is naturally expect
ed to exist the conditions do not bear
out the aspersion attempted to be put
upon them. But this is not the only
proof of Jerry's duplicity in the matter.
In answer to letter of inquiry from one
of Mr.. Simpsons constituents the editor
of the Waterman, in which paper the
Simpson article first appeared, states
that the letter was written by Ar. Simp-
son in response to a request for a article
setting forth the condition Of the people
of his simpsons district, and that the
article was published with that under
standing.

CALAMITY AND THE FORCE BILL.

The Calamityites in this state have
been joining the Democratic chorus of
denounciatIon of the so-called force bill.
1t is needless to say their conception of
the measure which they stigmatize as
the force bill is about as visionary as
their political notions in general. They,
with the Democrats, have made light of
the outrages on free elections in the
south. They have pointed out that the
charge of intimidating voters in the
south was but keeping alive sectional
issues and Haunting the bloody shirt.
But the election in Alabama brings with
it series Of practical lessons-practical
lessons, worth more than mere assertion
and theorizing. Kolb. the Peoples
party candidate for governor, but
lately a regular Democrat, versed
in all the methods of his party in carry
ing elections and still claiming to be an
Alliance Democrat, makes as bold
charges outrages on free elections
committed by the Alabama Democracy
as Republicans ever made. The Peoples
party must believe these charges or re-
pudiate Kolb.
Kolb says he was elected governor and
that he was counted out; that in order to
do this certain precincts returned a
larger Democratic majority than the
precincts had votes. If this is true the
south stands as firm against invasion by
the Peoples party as by the Republican
party. 1t will maintain its solidity
against either party by force and fraud.
If the Kolb indictment is a true bill
and it is very specific, then some meas
ure designed to promote free, fair and
untimidated voting is not only justified
but may be regarded as quite neces-
sary.
What remedy does the Peoples party
propose for the election outrage whereby
1t loses the state of Alabama? We will
hear less about the force bill from this
quarter.

"OLD TIPPECANOE'S" WooING,
The Kentucky Girl Whom He Loved But
Who Preferred Another.

The Kentucky Girl Whom He Loved But
Who Preferred Another.
Mr. F. B. Bosworth, brother to Mrs
Mary L. Todd, tells the following in
teresting story:
Gen. William Henry Harrison, the
grandfather of our chief executive, Wis
tied Frankfort, KY, when 90 years of
age, and there surrendered his heart to
the bright eyes of Miss Monarchy Fen
wick, one of the bewitching maidens of
the infant city. He did not prosper in
his wooing, but the impression was, to
tender degree, lasting. Upon taking
his leave he put ring upon her finger
with these unconsciously prophetic
words: Monarchy, when I am presi-
dent of the United States send this ring
to me with any request you may have
to make, and will grant whatever you
ask if it is in my power" Smiling at
the Jest she took the valuable circlet
and placed it among her treasures.
When she next saw her old admirer she
was the wife of Judge Samuel Todd,
wealthy and prominent citizen, and
had become a famous housekeeper of
wide hospitality. He had been elected
president of the United States, and was
en- route, via Frankfort, to his inaug-
ural ceremonies. Accepting her invita-
ton to dine the distinguished guest
was seen at his best The presidential
suite comprised twelve persons, some
in carriages, others on horseback, and
the village was stirred throughout at
the invasion.
Among other good things on the
table was molasses-cured ham which
had been buried for nine years in wood
ashes President Harrison partook
freely of this ham, and pronounced it
the sweetest he had ever tasted Call
ing her two boys to his side, he put an
arm around each and said: Monarchy,
here are your boys, but where are your
girls?" She had no girls Her hus-
bands daughter by a previous marriage
was in after years known as "Sister
Gabrielle" of st. GATHERINGS Acadamy
at Lexington. The ring which is a
cluster of seven garnet stones set in
gold, is now in the possession of Mrs.
Mary L. Todd, daughter-in-law of the
NJ onarchy who was the sweetheart of
the first President Harrison.
The house where the dinner was given
is on Belle Point, the spot being known
as Lake Park, and is in sight of the
place where Gen. Frank p. 3 lair and
Montgomery Blair were born. On an
old tree may still be seen the initials of
William Henry Harrison, cut by him

The theory of scientists in regard to
the cholera epidemic is that the disease
is contracted, not by coming in contact
with person afflicted with it, but by
swallowing something-food or drink
that contains the cholera germ. The
germ theory is no doubt correct as to the
origin or cause of the disease, but it is
hard to believe that cholera is an excep-
tional case as to the process of. commu-
nication. All other communicable dis
eases are infectious and may be taken by
inhalation, and cholera being blood
disease, and the blood being affected
most quickly through the action of the
lungs, it seems reasonable that that dis
ease might be communicated through
the lungs as well as through the stom-
ach. This idea is borne out by the stress
that is laid upon the admonition given
by health officers to clean up and thor
oughly disinfect premises, streets and
alleys. Dietetic precautions are impor-
tant but TO our notion not more SO than
other hygienic regulations, and espec-
tally those pertaining to cleanliness.

Ingenious Method Of Rope Climbing.

straps, which can be fastened % the

AN INDIAN MOTHERS BOY.
The Pathos of the Change That Educa-
ton Made In Him.

The Pathos OF the Change That Educa-
ton Made In Him.
Some of the Indian parents are very
proud of their children's progress. and
on beef-issue days visit the schools and
listen with great satisfaction to their
children speaking in the unknown
tongue.
There were several in one OF the
school-rooms while / was there. and the
teacher turned them out of their chairs
to make room for us, remarking pleas
antly that the Indians were accustomed
to sitting around on the ground She
afterward added to this by telling US
that there was no sentiment in her and
that she taught Indians for the fifty
dollars there was in it
The mother of one of the little boys
was already crouching on the floor as
we came in. or squatting on her heels,
as they seem to be able to do without
fatigue for any length of time. During
the half-hour we were there she never
changed her position or turned her head
to look at US, but kept her eyes fixed on
her son, sitting on the bench above her.
He was very plump, clean and ex-
cited little Indian, with his hair cut
short, and dressed in very fine pair of
trousers and jacket, and with shoes and
stockings. He was very keen to show
the white visitors how well he knew
their talk, and read his book with
masterful shaking of the head, as though
it had no terrors for him.
His mother, kneeling at his side on
the floor, wore a single garment and
over that a dirty blanket strapped
round her waist with a beaded belt.
Her feet were bare and her coarse hair
hung down over her face and down her
back almost to her waist in an I'M
kempt mass She supported her chin
on one hand, and with the other hand,
black and wrinkled and with nails
broken by cutting wood and Harvesting
horses and blowing in the fields,
brushed her hair back from before her
eyes and then touched her sons arm
wistfully, as a dog tries to draw his
masters eyes, as though he were some
thing fragile and fine. But he paid no
attention to her whatsoever; he was
very much interested in the lesson.
She was the only thing saw in the
schoolroom. 1 wondered if she were
thinking of the days when she carried
his weight on her back as she went
about her cooking or foraging for wood
or swung him from the limb of tree
and of the first leather leggin she made
for him when he was able to walk and
of the necklace of elk teeth and the
arrows which he used to fire bravely at
the prairie dogs.
He was a very different child now
and very far away from the dog-like
figure crouching by his side and gazing
up patiently into his face, as if looking
for something she had lost.-Richard
Harding Davis, in Harper's Weekly.

HOW TO SWEEP A ROOM,
Hints as to the General and Thorough

First, thoroughly dust and brush
every article in the room. What can be
removed, take out of the room; what
cannot be removed must be well COW
cred. Don't forget the backs of pict-
ures; give them a good brushing. If
there is stove in the room see that the
ashes are taken out of it.
Following these preliminaries, the
first thing in order is to brush the walls
and ceiling. This is best done by COW
ering broom (which should be fresh
and clean), with soft, clean cotton
cloth; colored will 90 providing the
colors will not stain. If convenient
take down the curtains, poles and all,
from the windows and lay them care
fully in another room. The same with
the portieres, if you have them. Take
the broom and go carefully over every
part of the carpet and floor, not forget
ting the corners and edges. Don't dig
and push with the broom as though you
were cleaning cattle stall, but bring
1t gently toward you After going over
the room in this way, if the carpet is
much soiled sprinkle salt over it and
give it second sweeping. Never ap-
ply corn meal, as some housekeepers
have been known to do, as that will call
moths Some people claim that corn
meal used on carpets will breed moths
