Twelve More of His Banks Said to Be
About to Go Under.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 15.-There is a
papicky financial feeling throughout In
diana on account of the failure of the
banks in the Paris. Nav Dwiggins pool, but
the old line bankers and the other finan-
ciers of standing declare that there is no
occasion for a scare.
From all parts of the State money is re-
ported to be tight, but it seems to be only
the natural drawing in after a heavy scare.
There are ten or twelve other of the pool
banks in the State that are in a shaky con-
dition, but it is thought that most of them
will be able to pull through.
An inspection of the Dwiggins State
banks in Indiana was made in March when
the other State banks were examined
The reports were filed with the Auditor of
State, as required by law, and showed
them to be in good condition. 1t is be-
lieved by the State Auditors agents that
nearly all of the State banks in the Dwig-
gins pool are solvent, as the stockholders
are regarded as substantial men and with
the exception of Dwiggins live in the towns
where the banks are located.

The CURSE oE DRINK.
Objects of a Society to be Organized In
the Sacred Heart Parish.

Objects of q Society to be Organized In
the Sacred Heart Parish.
A society to be known as the Contra
ternity of Sacred Thirst and Agony of
Jesus and of the Dolors of Mary is to be
organized at once in the Sacred Heart
parish. Speaking of the confraternity,
yesterday, Rev Father Treanor said
that its object was to make of every
man a temperate man, not necessarily a
acter of many Of our young men, what
do we see p said Father Treanor. "How
many are there who lay aside little of
their earnings? Very few. And what
is the reason they do not save? Because
they are dissipated. OF the misery and
poverty, of the ruin and degradation
that is wrought even in temporal
things, I defy anyone to say that drink
is not at the bottom of it ALL"
Continuing he said: "Only within the
last few weeks, out of spirit of charity
months to serve before his time would
be up. Last week he was again locked
up. That man when sober is quiet and
peaceful, but when in drink is demon.
He has wife and children depending
upon him for support. There are other
families in this parish who are destitute
owing to the curse of drink.
81 speak OF the worst cases. 1 am
not speaking against what is lawful and
legal There are men I know in the
liquor business who do not violate the
law, who do not sell to children or to
drunkards, and who offer no extraordi-
nary inducements to make young men
become drunkards."
The members of the proposed CONTRA
ternity will take no total abstinence
pledge, but will promise to prevent in
temperance as much as possible, by ad-
vice and example.

:ANoTHER RAILWAY RELIC



OMAHA, Neb., May 15.-An interesting
relic Of old time railroading was this
morning taken to the Union Pacific shops
to undergo a thorough overhauling. 1t
was the private car in which the martyred
President, Abraham Lincoln, travelled
about the country back in the sixties 1t
is striking contrast to the palace on
wheels of to-day. Running along the top
of the car are the words Colorado Gem
trail Railroad" while beneath the window
the painted inscription "Work Train" but
SO worn with age as to be almost indis-
tinguishable.
The car was brought in from North
Platte, Saturday, where for years past it
has been used as a boarding car for section
men. 1t was built at Alexandria, Va,
about 30 years ago. A narrow aisle origin
ally ran along one side with doors opening
into the various compartments on the
other side.
1t will be put in the same condition as
when President Lincoln used 1t, and it will
afterwards be taken to Chicago for exhibit
ton at the Worlds Fair.

Came Back with His Cargo.

New York, May 15.-The steamship
Antonio Zambrana, Capt. Krogh, which
arrived yesterday, tells story of ill-treat
ment by the authorities at Savanilla, a
seaport of the United States of Colombia
1t seems that on arrival of his vessel at
that port he was ordered to proceed to
Baranquilla to discharge his cargo of coal
and resin. Owing 20 lack of sufficient
depth of water he refused to proceed and
was given much trouble by the authori-
ties After long detention he decided to
return to this port without discharging
any of his cargo.

To tho Public in General and
Customers in Particular:

1t is new ne trly three years since we
outgrew our present large quarters. The
great volume of business done is surprise
to ourselves..as we'll as to the public. That
such business could be done in a city of
this size is without precedent, 80 far as we
can learn. AND 1T IS NOT A MUSHROOM
GROWTH 1t has been built up step by step
and the outgrowth of sound business
principles. 1t Is the result of putting
console nee into business, quality into
goods and words into actions. In these
days, when nine-tenths of the men who
go into business believe that the people
must be humbugged in order to be success
full in dealing with them, it Is refreshing
as we'll as encouraging to the youth of our
land to be able to demonstrate that such
is not the truth. The old fashioned
truths taught at our mothers knee are
still the ones to follow.
We have been compelled to seek larger
quarters, but we will be in business at the
old stand for some mo; this to come, South
Main and Grand streets. Large bodies
move slowly and it will be so in our case
The weather of late has retarded our pro-
gress in the way of delivering goods, but
we have dons our best to satisfy our GUS
toners, and they have been kind in over
looking some delays that teased them a
great deal, and for which we are very
sorry. We have never had such variety
of goods before, and the low prices are
surprising everybody. But this is because
we buy in such large quantities. Our
Quaker Ranges continne to be the favor
lite; they burn less coal and bake the best
of any stove in the world, and we give a
guarantee with every one of them. Our
various lines, Carpets, Crockery, Stoves,
Ranges, Woodenware, Pictures and Fur
niture were never so complete, and prices
were never 80 low. Our undertaking de-
partment is a model of excellence, and
everybody is attended with great care
and consideration. Night calls are
answered at 80 Grand street, where two
night clerks are always in attendance.

Greece Soon to BE IN Island.

The scheme for cutting a canal across
the isthmus of Corinth has had its peri
DDS of trouble and depression, like other
and greater enterprises of the same char
acter, but it appears to be now rapidly
approaching completion. The concession
was originally granted by the Greek
government in May, 1881, to General
Turr, with whom was associated M. de
Lesseps.
After the original capital had been alb
sorbed and the operations for some time
suspended, the operations were taken up
by new company, who in 1890 entered
into contract with firm who under
took to complete the works on March 10,
1898, under penalty of 81, 900 per month
for any delay after that date, but unfor-
tunately about this time last year wa
terspout passed over the works, flooding
the excavations.
The disaster necessitated slight ex-
tension of the term, but the contractors
now promise that large steamer will
go through the canal on the 23d of April
next. Great efforts are being made to
render the system of lighthouses ade-
quate. The Corinth canal, which will
have cost from first to last 1880, 900,
will be lit by electricity, with two pow
erful lights at each end and row OF
lights through its entire length.-London

Shake the dust out when taking down,
then spread across two lines and brush
with q clean feather brush. Put the
curtains, one at time, in tub half
full Of milk warm water, with two
tablespoonfuls of ammonia added. Let
them remain about fifteen minutes,
squeezing them with the hands every
two or three minutes to loosen the dirt.
Continue this process until all have
been through three waters, or until the
last water looks clean. The ammonlx
need not be used for but two waters.
Then put the curtains in coarse white

tepid soapsuds made of pure soap, letting

Portable Pianos.

An invention, which would be q for

of six octaves, inclosed in q plain case

as the best pianoforte manufactured;

easel for the music to rest upon, the
other part of the top to open to allow Of
the instrument being tuned.
Such an article would be invaluable,
as it could be placed on writing table
or dressing table in o bedroom, and the
tone being faint its use could not annoy
other people when the amateur was prac-
ticing. It could be carried about in a
leather case as ordinary luggage, and
when not in use could stand in q corner
