tent, and knowing be had served in the
army on one side during the late "un-
pleasantness," we asked him one day as
to whether we should address him as
colonel" "major," or "captain. !"
Coming close up to us he said IN a low,
persuasive tone of voice, "Call me judge,
please. e."-Brookville Democrat.
That pleasant fiction that somebody
nobody seems to know who-will give
$500 for 100000 cancelled postage
stamps, has again been exploded. A Bal
timore woman who was anxious to get
the $500 to pay for berth in home for
an INDECENT friend, collected the million
stamps and is now looking for the party
with the $500. If she had spent the time
collecting the $500 from friends she might
have had her INDECENT friend in the home
long ago. It takes more than $500 worth
of time and patience to collect a million
postage stamps.
"Do you know that when your shoes
glisten with polish that they are really
covered with diamonds2" asked the shoe
maker the other day of one of his pat
rons. "This is true he continued, and I
will show you why. Bone dust which is
the principal ingredient in the shoe
backing, is almost pure carbon. When
this paste has been smeared over your
shoes the frictionof polishing brush crys-
tallizes the blacking and converts it into
millions of infnitesimally small dia-
monds, and every man with shine on
his shoes may revel in the knowledge
that he wears cluster of diamonds on
his feet.-Philiadelph Record.
An Oil City genius is engaged in the
invention of an electric machine which,
if completed according to his ideas, will
knock the spots off anything Edison ever
attempted. He styles it an "Electric
Mind Writer" and says he will soon .as-
tonish the world. According TO his
statement an electric band is placed
around the wrist which is connected
with an electric wire to his machine. As
rapidly as thoughts enter the mind of
the person in harness they are transmit
ted to the machine, which is arranged to
print the aforesaid thoughts instantane-
ously. This will prove beneficial to
many who abhor writing, as no labor is
necessary. Where a letter is written
and finished the machine will fold the
same, place it in envelope, seal it and
throw it at the first letter carrier who
comes along. By means of this inven-
tion a man can sit on the roof of forty
story building in New York and write a
letter to himself from San Francisco, or
he can lie down and print letters of ad-
miration to his best girls, depending on
his good wrist to accomplish the desired
end. May he make a success of it.

A Correction.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
In my article on Hicks, in last Sunday
Journal, an omission occurs in one rather
long-winded sentence that is apt to change
the dizziness of the average reader to mild
form of Mysteries. The printer-or possibly
myself, in copying-broke in the middle of
straight pace and galloped over about
two lines in the "last quarter, causing the
writer to lose at least one point, amounting
to a handicap. The corrected paragraph
reads follows:
"Those who have calmly and conscien-
tiously noted the capers of the weather
during the past summer, and then compared
the record with Ira Hicks's foregone pre-
dictions, will observe discrepancies that
would dislodge any faith not located too
anteriorly in the subjects brain; predic-
tons whose best scores could be duplicated
in any almanac whose publisher-appreci-
ating a well-known weakness among his
countrymen-waS considerable enough TO i'm
pose on his stale-joke editor the additional
task of dashing off a few dozen weather
p; edictions.
The correction may not be essential TO
preserve the unity Of the article, but 1t
will at least prevent it from standing open
to the charge il prefers against the ma
jority of Hicks's monthly augurs-that of
incoherency. j. c. OCHILTREE.

ON THE SOUTH SIDE.

BuiIdOzes Fourteenth Ward Voters.

George Kinney, an Ex-Crap Shooter,
BuIIdOzes Fourteenth Ward Voters.
Such an election day as was yesterday
was never seen the South Side. There
were few persons loafing about the voting
places as is usually the case in this por-
ton of the city, and in many OF the pre-
cincts the vote was light when the hour for
closing the polls arrived. The absent vo-
tiers were mostly Democrats, and a number
of them, whose stanch Democracy would
not permit them to vote the Republican
ticket, stayed away rather than vote for
the continuance of the policy which has dis
graced the city under Democratic rule.
Very early in the day Democratic cleo
ton officers gave abundant evidence of
their intention of preventing the casting
of ballots by any manner of disgraceful and
corrupt methods. The climax of corrup-
ton was reached in the Northumberland
fortieth precinct, of the Fourteenth ward
The practices here went to the extent of
an utter disregard of the law. The Repub-
lican election officers were men who lacked
the courage to insist upon the strict obedi-
ence to the letter of the law, and the Dem
ocrats were not slow to take advantage of
it, and the legal rights of the voters were
deliberately set aside, and bulldozing tao
tics took precedence of law, order and re-
spectability. They were well equipped for
the work of bulldozing by the selection of
George Kinney Democratic challenger.
Kinney is a huge brazen bully, with an i'm
pudent swagger which he knows well how TO
affect in order to intimidate small man.
Whenever a Republican whom Kinney
thought he could bulldoZe presented him
self at the polling place to vote Kinney
sought some fimsy preteXt upon which
TO challenge the vote. The vote
being challenged the Democrats in total
disregard OF the law, refused TO permit the
voter TO cast the ballot until he had Sc
cured the affidavit of some householder that
he was entitled to vote. Under the provis-
ions of the law a man, when challenged, is
entitled TO make affidavit that he is a legal
voter, and the vote must be accepted, unless
the party challenging the vote make affi-
davit that the voter IS not entitled to vote;
then, in that case, counter affidavit must
be made; If the counter affidavit is filed the
vote must be accepted. a few minutes be-
fore o'clock yesterday evening colored

The Speed of Trains.

There has never baen time" said a
railway superintendent, when 50 much in
terest has been taken in the speed of trains
as now. No longer does England hold the
prestige in this respect The facts collected
prove that with the exception of the Great
Northern road the English roads are ex-
celled by American lines as regards the
average speed maintained for long distances.
and that it is rare, indeed, for an English
train TO make such time as is usually reach
ed by the fast Chicago express on the New
York Central or the Congressional limited on
the Pennsylvania line. The Great Northern
is exception among English roads, but
In making its run does not attain any higher
speed than do some of the American roads.
1t Is true that the Great Northern makes
d, greater number of runs of fifty miles an
hour in going over the road than do the reg
ular scheduled trains of this country. Care
fully prepared statistics of the time made
by English express trains show that there
IS no ground for the belief that any ex-
press trains in that country exhibit speed
OF sixty miles an hour, inclusive Of stops.
The fastest scheduled train on the London &
Northwestern is foTty-five miles hour. It

sides of the Atlantic that both the New

The freight men at this point are dis
posed to make light of the eastbound rate
war which was inaugurated at st. Louis and
is spreading to other points. While admit
ting that there may be some shading of
rates going on at this and other Western
points, they are of opinion that the position
the Pennsylvania Company has taken in
the matter will prevent any serious out
break in eastbound rates. Shippers at In
dianapolis have felt for some months that
IT was an injustice that freight should be
carried through here from st. Louis to the
seaboard at the same rate given Indianap-
oils shippers, but the moment that the mat
ter was agitated by indianapolis shippers
the statement was made that this was
part rail and part water route rate which
they were Obliged to give ST Louis ship
and the Toledo, ST. Louis & Kansas City
lines, both of which carried business part
rail and part water route, and there
seemed to be no remedy for shippers at
this point, although 1t has been the impress
sion that some of the business billed part
rail and part water route went through all
rail- The Indianapolis shippers are now
determined to have fair a show in east
bound rates as do points further west,
which they are confident would improve
eastbound business from Indianapolis and
we'll as Indianapolis by the part-rail-and-
part-water rates the roads east from St
Louis have been granting TO ST. Louis
shippers for some weeks.
