The Red Gross Estate in Indiana for the
Benefit Of Suffering Humanity.

Benefit Of Suffering Humanity.
MITCHELL, Ind, May 16.-Miss Clara
Barton, president, and Mr.. ]. B. Hub
bell, secretary of the American Red
Cross association, accompanied by DR..
Joseph Gardner. the donor of the large
tract of land of which the society is the
beneficiary, are here on tour of inspec-
ton to the Red Cross station, located
four miles north of Mitchell. Residence
building, stables and warehouses are
erected or in course of construction.
The farm will be stocked with herd
of fine horges and ocattle, fitted with
most improved agricultural inventions
and appliances, cultivated in a
thorough and scientific manner, har-
vests aud products applied to the alievi-
alton of suffering and unfortunate hu-
manity in times Of famine, fire, food
or other public disasters. Railroad and
telegraphic connection will be estab-
lished, insuring prompt notification of
calamities occurring, and securing i'm
mediate and direct transportation fa-
cilities to the afflicted community.
Valuable deposits of the famous Law
renee county oolitic limestone are To-
Gated within the boundaries, which will
be quarried, and contribute greatly to
the resources of the association.
This plot of earth, to which the re-
nowned and charitable president is
making her first visit, possesses the
only righteous claim to strict neutrality
in the universe, granted and guaran-
teed by 46 nations and governments un-
der sealed compact. 1t is near the ex-
act center Of population of the United

wise interested in the exposition. Since
the time usually set for the breaking OF
winters backbone there have not been
a dozen sea6onable pleasant days for
the fair. The elements have put STUN.
bling blocks N the way of its compile
uon for the last three months and since
the opening there have only been two
or three warm pleasant days such as
visitors coming from all parts of the
world expect in order to enter their
outdoor viewing of the exposition. The
effect is seen on all sides.
BaLds Play Incognito.
All the bands that play about the fair
grounds wear uniforms designed by the
fair directory, but they do not bear
names. They operate strictly incognito.
As to Future Exhibits.
Saturday, at midnight, President Hig-
inbothan's recent order to exhibitors
and concessionaries went into effect. It
provided that after May 13, neither
goods for exhibition nor supplies for
daily consumption would be permitted
to be brought into the grounds in the
day time, and that if exhibits were
brought in at night after that date their
introduction ''would be attended by
greatly increased expense" This means
that the directory is taking measures to
have the fair declared finished in the
near future, and that they propose to
shut off the laggards and get along
without their exhibits rather than to
rest longer under the allegation that
the fair is not done, and that it will not
be before closing time comes.
Lots of Dust and Dirt.
The foreigners, especially in the liberal
arts building. are waiting for the dust
and dirt to be removed from the incom-
plete section before they will expose
their costly works of art and some ex-
hibitors have removed their goods from
the cases and berths temporarily be-
cause of the dust and dirt which accu-
mulates.

BANGOR, Me-, May 16.-At midnight
Monday night John L. Sullivan was in
a cell in the Penobscot county Jail, in
this city, awaiting the deputy sheriff
with warrant from Diddeford.
On Pullman car Sunday night. on
which Sullivan and Lawyer Max L.
Lizotte of this city were passengers, the
lawyer reached in front of the ex-
champion to shake hands with John
Sheehan, a member of the Sullivan
party. AS he did 80, Sullivan gave
him kick in the groin, which sent the
lawyer across the car. The lawyer
is a powerful man, though he has
only one arm, and he rallied and
went at Sullivan, clinching with him and
turning him over car seat. They were
separated, but were hardly parted be-
fore another member of the company
struck the lawyer in the face, cutting his
lips and making his nose bleed. Sulli-
van took advantage of the situation and
choked the plucky lawyer, leaving his
finger marks on his throat,

High Boot. No Longer wo-A.

One of the most significant evidences
Of the settlement of the West and South
is to be found In the rapidly decreasing
percentage of boots and shoes in the
manufactures both OF the East n
West. Twelve or fifteen years ago
there were quite a number o. houses in
the East which made boots exclusively,
but their number is rapidly diminishing.
and almost every month one hears OF
the output of the high boot being either
closed altogether or greatly eurtailed to
make more space for the Manufacturing
of the low cut shoe or the regulation
Congress OF other makes OF modern
footwear. In the old days. when farm
ing was farming, and when high boots
were worn as protection against the
bites of rattlesnakes, the demand from
the West and South was wholly, or IN
great part, for boots. but now 1t Is not
at all unusual when on a trip through
the Western States to get ordcrs for
shoes exclusively, and to have the re.
tsiler complain of the very slow sale OF
the very grade OF boots he used to bank
on almost entirely. The fashions seem
to change a little slower In the
South, but even there the demand for
high or top boots il getting less ard less
every journey.

Camels Have Been Used In America.

About 1852 the problem of transport
ing army supplies on the Western plains
became so serious that the War Depart
ment recommended the experiment OF
trying camels. Some time elapsed be-
fore the necessary animals could be
secured, and their first successful en-
ployment, SO far as can be learned, a
In 1857, when q train OF camels con-
veyed the stores and baggage of a sur
veying party locating o wagon road be-
tween Santa Fc and California. This
first trial was attended With such good
results that some time after leo eamels
were imported for use in the Southwest,
and as late ne 1876 a camel train was in
operation between Yuma and Tucson,
Ariz. The camels throve we'll and did
their work satisfactorily, but the hos
tility OF the transfers soon thinncd
their number, and their use was further
rendered unnecessary by the spread OF
the railroads.

The supreme Court Vacancy.

President Harrison Is not likely to
be kept from doing his duty by Bour-
bon and Mugwump clamor. At pres
ent this clamor is particularly loud,
and Its burden Ia that the President
ought to leave to his successor the
appointment OF a Justice OF the SUI
preme Court In the place OF Lamar,
deceased. President Harrison was
elected to serve until the 18th Of
March, 1893, and he does not need,
and probably he does not desire,
Bourbon or Mugwump advice as to the
performance Of his duty during his
term Of Office. He will doubtless act
In this matter with the discretion,
caution and good Judgment that
characterize all his official acts and
that have won a reluctant indorsc!
ment even from political opponents.
There is not ever the slightest ex-
cuse for Democratic criticism OF the
President for making an appointment
near the close OF his administration.
Mr.. Cleveland appointed no less than
nincty-eight Presidential postmasters
In the last month Of his term. Presi-
dent Harrison signed their commits
sions, as he did those OF other officers
appointed by the retiring President.
President Harrison, therefore, has a
high Democratic example for making
any appointment that falls within
his period OF Office.

The First BolloOnist,

The first aeronaut who fell victim
to his desire of exploring the upper
air was Piiatre de Rozler, who, a few
months after the balloon had been in-
vented, declared his purpose OF
ascending in one and allowing it to
take him whittier it would. The
French King, however, frowned upon
the project and sent Pilatre word
that the experiment should be made
by sending two condemned criminals.
But Pilatre Indignantly refused this
offer.
"What!p said he, 'shall vile criuh
inals have the glory of being the first
to navigate the fields OF air? Never,
while PiIatre de Rozier draws BREATH"
He agitated this subject until tho
entire Court became interested in his
favor, and then at last the King
yielded, and Pilatre, in November,
1888, made q perfectly successful as
cent. Benjamin Franklin was a wit
ness Of the spectacle, and said, when
some asked his opinion of it,
II have seen a child born which
may one day be a man"
Two years after, another aeronaU.
crossed the channel from Dover 20
Calais, aud rilatre spurred on by
jealousy, declared his purpose Of cross
ing it in the opposite direction.
His friends e~ndeavored to dissuade
him from the project, believing that
the machine had not been sufficiently
perfected, but nothing could calm HE
enthusiasm. In June a balloon vas
ready, hut it may easily be seen that
Pilatre was not very confident OF sue
Cess, since he pushed back an army
officer who would have stepped into
the car with him, saying gently
Monsieur, in u present enter
prise We are sure OF nothing. / cam
not accept you. il l would have INV
conscience at peace"
The balloon rose maiestically and
tended at once toward the sea. Pres
entlysit turned. but again drifted
back III the direction OF the water.
Then 10 is probable that Pllatre en-
deav@sed to descend. In order to reach
Q moto Favorable current Of air, but
IN o1aping the valve, according to
enc account, he unfortunately made
q rentslp the balloon itself. Instantly
he was dashed to the ground, q dis
tsnce NJ several thousand feet, and
vas found There. dead and frightfully
mutifaa6d.
He Js still one OF the heroes OF
France and an Inscription to his
memory may be read on the spot
where no made his fatal attempt.
