A ROusing Convention In Indiana
Deals Fearlessly with the Great
Topics of the Day.

Indianapolis, Aug. Is. - The largest

the benefit of the few"
1t approves of the efforts of Cleveland
and the house of representatives and the
majority of the Democratic senators,

The great financier who founded the
English branch Of the famous Roths-

lines marked out by this coat of arms.
Among his clients" was one of the
Chosen people," a young broker. One
day the business he had to transact
was on so small scale that he took
it to a less famous house.
Rothschild soon heard Of the transac-
tion-he had q way of hearing of every

he met the broker, he rebuked him for
not coming to the house of Rothschild.

a Prince Disnppcnrs.

BERLIN, Special-Military and social
circles here are discussing a sensation
which has been caused by the complete
disappearance of Prince Assiz Hassam, a
young Egyptian nobleman who was serv-
ing in the First dragons in garrison in
this city. Prince Hassam, it appears,
has been living in a very extravigant
style, employing number of servants
and having a number of horses and car
riages. At the opera, the theaters and
at several clubs the young prince was
we'll known and was much remarked for
his stylish appearance and extreme iber-
ality. According to one story, recogniz-
ing that public disgrace was inevitable,
and that his colonel would soon demand
his withdrawal from the army, the prince
committed suicide in some manner and
in some place not known at present. Ac-
cording to another story the prince in
despair fed from Berlin with q young
lady known in theatrical circles, and
upon whom Prince Hassam is reported
to have lavished much money and at.

Little Hamstede.

A kindly, honest and simple little
man was Frederick William Hanstede,
originally city clerk of London, and
a versifer who concocted worthless
doggerel, for love and not reward, at
a rate which would surprise most poet
asters. Yet his claim to remembrance
lies now In the fact that Thackeray
called him dear little Hamstede," and
loved and protected him from banter
with a strange and touching chivalry.
If any one laughed at the great nov
elists attachment to so insignificant q
protege, Thackeray would exclaim:
mo one shall say word against lit
tie Hamstede in my hearing! I love
little Hamstede. ! tell you love little
Hamstede, and as for his verses over
which you have been making merry,
all that 1 care to say is that / take
more pleasure in reading his poetry
than do in reading your prose-
The secret of this large-hearted pro-
lection was not far to seek. Ham
stede was a dwarf and a hunchback; !;
he had been crippled by falling from a
nurses arms in infancy, and could not
get about without cane. Thackeray,
the giant, loved him for the sufferings
he had undergone.

A Fact to Remember When You Meet
a Rather.
The writer saw an Indian kill rat
tlesnake in a very peculiar manner re-
Gently. The rattler was about ten feet
from the Indian, who was resting his
rifle on his knee, apparently taking
aim. Whenever he moved the weapon
a few inches the snake would move
around and get exactly in line with it.
Then, to show how the thing was done,
the Indian moved about the snake in a
circle, and the reptile moved as If his
tail was a pivot, always keeping his
head and body in line with the gun.
The Indian then agreed to bandage
his eyes and shoot the snake in the
mouth. The writer bandaged the In
dams eyes, and, holding the gun at
arms length, the latter pulled the trig-
ger and the ball entered the snakes
mouth.
"How did you take aim?" was the
query.
"The snake he take afm" was the re-
ply.
We have talked with an old hunter
on this proposition, and he claims that
a rattlesnake will always range direct,
ly in line with gun or stick pointed at
it.-Carson (Nev) Appeal.

TICKET CANCELLING

Ingenious Devices for Dating and
Registering, and Their Advan-
tages.
The exigencies of railway passenger
traffic have led to the invention Of most
ingenious machines for the cancella-
ton, dating and registering Of tickets
In one machine, designed for turning
out tickets rapidly for street railways,
ferries, etc. the individual tickets in Il
large roll of paper Of the required
width and thickness arc divided from
one another by a pertoratiOn and a
pair of notches, which are also used for
maintaining the registering during
printing. The strip Of paper then
passes over a series Of wheels, which
regulate the frictionaI tension, to the
printing cylinder, from whence it is
turned out ready for use, says the Pitts
burg Dispatch.
In other machines tickets can be
numbered consecutively from one to
any given number. For instance, there
Is a special ticket holder and regis
ter" by which web Of tickets can be
cut up and dated, each ticket being
counted and marked as it is being with
drawn, to prevent fraud. The tape is
drawn through feed rollers, by turning
handle, and passes between a print
ing cylinder and bed cylinder. Upon
the printing cylinder is a knife which
cuts off the tickets as it delivers them
through slot. A counting device is
geared to the printing cylinder, and
keeps a register of the operation. 1t is
enclosed in a case, which is normally
closed by a locked door. by the use
of this machine all troubI esome count
ing Of the stock of tickets is avoided,
while dishonest officials find an exact
account kept against them.

He was smart enough to be able to run
a railroad through New 1ork'S beauti-
full state reservation in the Adirondack

THE INTERSTELLAR ETHER,
Ethereal Waves Which Affect the
Eye and the Photographic Plate.

Ethereal Waves Which Affect the
Eye and the Photographic Plate.
Our eye does not act by detecting
heat; In other words, 1t is not affected
by the whole range of ethereal culver
ings, but only by very minute and ap-
parently insignificant portion. 1t Who'll
ly ignores the ether waves whose fre-
quency Is comparable with that of
sound, and for 30 or 40 octaves above
this nothing about us responds; but high
up in a range Of vibration Of the incon-
ceivably high pitch of to 100000, 900
per seconds-a range which few acces-
sible bodies are able to emit, and which
1t requires some knowledge and skill
artiticially to produce-to those waves
the eye Is acutely, surprisingly and
most intelligently sensitive.
This little fragment of total radiation
Is in itself trivial and negligible. Were
1t not for men and glow worms and q
few other forms Of life hardly any Of
1t would ever occur on such moderate
sized lump of matter as the earth. tx
cept for an occasional volcano or a
flash of lightning, only gigantic bodies
Like the sun and stars have energy
enough to produce these higher flute
like notes, and they do it by sheer main
force and violence-the violence of their
graVitative energy-producing not only
these, but every other kind OF radiation
also. GlOWWormS, so far as / know,
alone have learned the secret Of emit
ting the physiOlogically useful waves,
and none other.
Why these waves are physiologically
useful, why they are not what is called
light" while other kinds of radiation
are dark" are questions to be asked,
but at present only tentatively answer
ed. The answer must ultimately be
given by the psychologist, for the dis
tinction between light and nonlight can
only be stated in terms of the eye and
its peculiar specialized seusitiveness,
but hint may be given him by the
physicist.
The eternal waves which affect the
eye and the Photographic plate are of a
size net wholly comparable with that
of atoms of matter. When a physical
phenomenon is concerned with the ulti-
mat atoms of matter, it is relegated-a at
present to the vaguer group Of knowl-
edge summarized under the head of
chemistry. Sight is probably chemi-
cal sense. In the retina may be COM

further countenanced except as work

President Curtis Guild. editor of the

1T is curious" he said, lin looking
over the records of Boston sixty years
ago, to note the difference between the
newspaper of that date and the great
metropolitan journal Of to-day. Then
there were no telegraph dispatches.
There were no market reports; the
old prices current once a week were
thought sufficient. There was no finan-
cial article, and no brokers board and
sale of stocks. There was only one rail-
road advertisement There were no
court reports. There was not single
leading article in the paper, and scarce
ly any local matter. There were no
interviews and no special correspond
| ence.
"Apropos to the prominence given to
interesting events to-day, as compared
! with then, may cite the following
paragraph from the same issue of the
1884 paper:
Miss Fanny Kemble was led to the
altar on Saturday morning, and changed
her name to Mrs. Pierce Butler. The
ceremony took place at Christ church,
/ Philadelphia, the service being read by
! the venerable Bishop White"

seventy-fve men are now at work on

run a well stocked store, and a large
number of dwelling houses will be erect

coal mines are prosecuted the coal seems
to improve and is far superior to any
found elsewhere in Montana. There is
a great scarcity of cars, however, thus
restricting the output. Cashiers old tun-
mel is now being retimbered, its length
being now 1000 feet. The name of the
pew town has not been decided upon.
The Great Northern railway has prom
sed three regular trains week right

production will admit, two coal trains

about sixteen cars. g
