HUNTING THE RAINCROW.
A Short and Pointed Story Printed for
the Benefit of Tariff Reformers."

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
Almost all Indianians who have been
reared in the country know something OF
the raincrow. To those who have not been
so favored i will explain that the raincrow
is a bird, much in appearance like the whip
poor will. whose habitat is in the thick
woods and whose mournful call may be
heard from its hiding place among the foli-
age OF the trees. but which is seldom seen

Professors idea of "a great wave" will be

would be apt to compare the very mild Ibsen

Rev. smi,h's Judgment.

Rev. j. l.. Smith yesterday recovered
judgment against DePauw University for
s1,SS5 on a peculiar claim. The claim was
based upon a contract with the trustees OF
the university wherein they agreed TO pay
Mr.. Smith per cent. of any bequest which
he might induce August Swisher to leave
to the university. Swisher and Smith were
personal friends, and the latter did induce
his friend to leave TO the university, by
his will, the sum of $4,000. The trustees
refused to pay the per cent. commission
which they agreed TO pay Mr. Smith be-
cause Mr.. Swisher made a will subsequent
to the one drawn up at the advice OF Mr..
Smith. The second will, however, contained
the bequeSt to the university, and the
court held that the trustees were liable

SOMEBODY said the other day
there was but one vacant seat in
the United States Senate. There
are practically four. sOne caused
by Senator Stantord's death, one
each from Montana, Wyoming and
Washington. These latter are
held to have been irregularly filled
by Gnbernatoral appointments, the
Legislature failing to elect. These
cases are pigeon-holed, and they
are knotty; likely to cause lengthy
discussion when the Senate meets
in extra session.

NOBLE A

One of the most interesting pa
pers in the North american Re01eU
for July is that Of the Duke OF
Veragua, entitled 1.-THE Family OF
Columbus" It is interesting not
only in the facts which it contains,
but also for the dispassionate way
in which the writer treats of the
wrongs inflicted on his great ances
tor. Even Ferdinand is excused
for@his lack OF gratitude to Oolum-
bus, because che was not willing
that the grandeur acquired by
CASTLE should cause public bust
ness to be directed into channels
that he deemed dangerous and OF
but eight benefit to the interests
of Aragon." Recognizing with
Spanish courtesy the hospitality
and honors accorded him in this
country, he d~isclaims, with the hu-
mility of the old Spanish Christian,
any glory for himself therein, cay
ing
"These honors, however, will not
arouse in my heart feelings Of van
ity. On the contrary, | hope that
the remembrance of this important
period will increase in me a sense
of the immense responsibility of
those who bear honored names, and
who are under the moral obligation
to transmit them, at least unfair
nished, to their succt S sors; and l
trust that G ID will enable me to
carry out this object"
Since the Dukes departure it
has t%ranspired that the whole Of
his property has been lost by the
decline of securities in which he
had invested on the Paris Bourse.
The Spanish Royal Commissioners
General to the Columbian Exposis
ton is quoted as saying
"Yes, it is true that the Duke of
Veragua has lost his whole for"
tune, His broker in Paris has not
handled his money wisely. and it
has all been sunk IN the Bourse.
The Duke while in Chicago was
much worried about his affairs. He
often told me that he had nothing,
and felt very badly that his wife
and children would be left almost
penniless in case of his death. The
fortune of the Duchess is CONS
promised, and the family absolute-
ly has nothing left.
shear a fund has beenproposed for
him. The Duke would. | doubt
not, accept a gift from the Ameri-
cans in the name of his children.
The palace at Madrid is a museum
of American antiquities and should
not be divided or broken up. l
hope that it will be redeemed for
the Duke and the posterity of the
Veragua family. His fortune, all
told, was about $50O,0OO several
years ago. He has lost every cent
of it, and I really do not know
what he is to do. l am heartily in
sympathy with any movement
tending toward raising a fund for
him. 1t would be a very graceful
act upon the part of the people of
the United States"
The people OF North and South
America could well afford to assess
themselves in a handsome sum to
provide q competency for the des-
cendant of the man who opened
the Western Hemisphere to the
world, and We are glad to see that
MI. Palmer, of the Worlds Fair
Commission, has taken STEPS to
start such contribution.
