Miss Minnie Rush is an exceedingly
able young American business woman
She Is agent of tho Vandalia railroad at
Lakeville, Ind. She has charge of the
freight, telegraph and passenger offices,
being herself first class telegrapher.
About $40, 900 passes through her hands
every month. She is only 81 years old,
but she is looking out for the interests
OF that Vandalia line instead of spending
her off hours reading silly novels and
signing for the impossible hero who new.
er yet came to any girl. She last year
organized on her own account what she
named Harvest Home Excursions"
These were pleasure trips of town and
country people into interesting localities
in their own and neighboring states.
Thus she not only provided pleasant and
improving trips for her passengers by
showing them something of other places
than their own homes, but she netted a
neat sum for the Yandalia line besides.

supposes women to be SO passionately
devoted to clothes that they would even
read about auctions of castoff garments
rather than about no clothes at all. But
all his solicitude for our entertainment

Miss e. G. Jordan, n brilliant and sue
cessful young newspaper woman, has
written lately an able magazine paper
about the difficulties that beset the path
of the girl who would enter journalism.
She says it is the old story over again of
the cat climbing out of the well and
that the newspaper woman must have
above all an up again and take another
spirit. which no encouragement can
break. Miss Jordan is right. She is
right also in saying that the sex of a
woman hinders her in journalism n hun
dred times where it helps her once. A
good living in journalism is SO difficult
to achieve that only the strongest and
most determined succeed finally. unless
they are exceptionally fortunate. But

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is ut least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able TO cure in all it's stages and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being n
constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca

directly upon the blood and mucous

was broken only by the riso and fall
of the voices of the speakers as they
delivered their final notes of triumph

seeming to feel deeply that the result

people.
Voorhees, nnounced Saturday that
be w3uld call for final vote on the
repeal bill at Pm to-day, out as it
was known that the bill was still open
to amendment this morning there
was much speculation as to what
proposition might be launched at the
last moment by the silver meu, who
had nothing to lose and everything to
gam by sudden onslaughLs on the re-
peal forces.
The opening indications were not
promising for vote as early as Voor-
hees anticipated. Several western
Senators had expressed a desire to
speak, and as the time to be consumed
by each was rather indefinite, final
vote seemed more likoly to be delayed
until 4 or o'clock this afternoon
There was q manifest determination

speak only with pain and which he
could contemplate only with serious
approximations for the future welfare
OF the country. Morgan said the pas
sage of the bill would be the irrevoc-
able lrrender to the demands OF
most insolent and overbearing cor
porations. Morgan then read slowly

urday: ave were compelled 20 take

tor from Ohio has never had the pow
or to dictate terms to me as q Demo
crat. lie may have dictated them to

side, but he cannot dictate to me-"
Again quoting from Germans
speech Morgan read sentence as to
Sherman laying down conditions.

Democracy" said Morgan contempt
uously.
What is the Democratic party
worth To itself or to the country, or to
posterity," asked Morgan, when a
Senator from Ohio has tue key to the
situation and can lay down condi-
tions to it? What is your majority
here worth addressing the Demo
cratic Senators) to be thus trampled,
thus Geceived, thus overrun and H.
nally handed over TO the tender mer-
cies of the Senator from Ohio?"
Morgan said he had signed the pro-
posed compromise and had done SO In
order 70 have peace and fraternity in
the Democratic party.
Commit suicide" said Morgan
with much bitterness, "because you
cannot get chance to live on fair
and even terms with your friends and

The Colon and It's Uses.

A son of Horace Mann, who livesin Wash
ington, has an unusual fashion of signing
all documents. He is Mr.. b: Pickman
Mann and is well known as writer. Mr..
Mann is graduate of Harvard and holds
al important position in the patent office.
The colon which follows the first initial
would be Greek TO the wayfaring man, but
it is only q symbol for Benjamin. Some
years ago the American Librarian associa-
ton, of which Mr.. Mann Is a member, was
much exercised over some manner of alb
breviating names SO as TO decrease the
work OF cataloguing, which in large libra
ries is enormous. They adopted list of
common names of persons which should DO
abbreviated by using the first letter of the
name followed by colon. For the sake
Of consistency, and believing the custom
would be "a good one, they adopted the fash
ion.
The late Mr.. Ben: Perley Poore, known
30 long and SO favorably in Washington,
used this style long before the company Of
learned Librarians approved il. The list now
In use is large one. Some of the most COM
mon signs are w: for William; LII: for

Tho Word Vim.

According TO my opinion, the use OF this
word az synonym of energy, vigor, ETC.,
has arisen ia this way: Some pedantic jour
nalist, considering perhaps the AngloSax-
on noun strength" too vulgar, and wish
ing to overawe his readers with Latin ex-
preston, chose the word wis" probably
in connection with verb governing the
accusatiyc case, but reluctant to offend
against the sacred rules Of Latin grammar
he employed the accusative win"
This mode of expression may have been
repeated several times, and as the people
liked the sound of the word, even without
knowing what IL meant, they also en-
ployed IL in instances in which no accusa-
tive was required, and thus the msused
word became current expression. Notes

ALemon Luncheon.

One of tho prettiest luncheens we have
ever attended was also one OF the simplest.
1t was called lemon luncheon, and all
the decorations and dishes carried out the
form or color of lemon. In the center of
the table was small lemon tree in pot,
bearing couple of specimens of the fruit.
The center piece was of lemon colored silk.
The soup was cream of peas, with the
yolks of two eggs beaten and added just
before taking from the fire to give the
right color. Fillets of founder were served;
with egg sauce and garnished with slices
of lemon. The chicken n la supreme in
its sauce was Of the desired tint. Ices
were frozen in the form of lemons, and
the Roman punch was favored and col
ored with lemon. At each plate lay n SOU
venir in the form of a large lemon, tied with
yellow satin ribbon and lying on bank
of green lemon leaves. 1t was really a
lemon from which the inside had been
scooped and then filled with pale yellow
cotton batting, in which were concealed
tiny gold souvenir bins with lemon heads.
