A WHITE MANS CITY.
Another case that came before the de-
partment was that of "The White City,
in Florida. This is an ideal spot on the
eastern coast not named after the Chicago
white City," but so-called because its
founders have made 1t a white mans
city, no negro being allowed 10 come
within its precincts. No colored laborers
were employed in its building, and none but
whites are allowed to hold land within
the wide limits OF the city. Application for
the establishment of an Office at that
place was made before the ruling cited
partment would only compromise on
white City," and that concession was
granted only after Senator Pasco had Wis
in the interest of the name originally Sc
lected. The, Bourbon department officials
sSgges5ed that no more appropriate name
founders were modest and declined 10 ac-
cept the suggestion, as they themselves
were to live I'm the place.
TT men who are building the new sum-
mer resort at Chesapeake Beach are urg-
ing the people at the Postoffice Department
TO make an exception in this case. Quite a
town is being built down there on the
shores of Chesapeake bay, and as the place
has been known as Chesapeake Beach ever
since the COnceptlOn Oh pno lOed OF a Town
there, the projectors of the enterprise are
naturally anxious that the department
should so designate the postoffice TO be 10
Gated there. Assistant Postmaster-general
Maxwell has the case under consideration
at present, and is not inclined to grant the
request, which he thinks would be a breach
IN the rule that would open a way for 9TH
ers. The gentlemen In charge of the enter
prise contend that the name was officially
bestowed before the ruling of Mr.. Maxwell
went into effect and that the ruling should
not hold in this case.
An application was recently filed at the
department asking the establishment of an
office with a prohibited name. Several of
the applicants called at the department and
stated that they were not welded to the
name suggested. but did want a postoff1ce
and wanted it in a hurry. Never mind
the name" said one. "let the department
select what il pleases."

Maxwell, something distinctive or pc
culiar."

slender girl with blonde hair, blue eyes and
a fair complexion. When one remembers
1t has been twenty years since Nellie

of affectation and as quiet and unassum-
ing as those of her mother.
Mrs. Sartoris will be in Washington until
Tune l. when she leaves for the summer
She has expressed her intention of living
at the capital. and Mrs. General Grant
will reside with her here. There Is no
desire TO make a display on the part of Mrs.
and saws she dislikes TO see her name in
print. Yet, appreciating the interest all
Americans take in her family, she kindly
consented to allow her children's pictures
To be published.
Mr. Sartoris. who was an Englishman,
father was, and the young couple after the
marriage lived on the paternal estate. The
death OF her husband and father-in-law
leaves Mrs. SartoTiS very comfortably off,
with an income that will enable her to live
in the style to which she has been accus-
toned. There Is no one who will be more
eagerly welcomed by all Washingtonians
than Nellie Grant.

Rev. Sweeney an Important Witness
in the Murder Trial.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
GREENSBURG, Ind, May 1.-THE attor-
neys for the defense in the Drake murder
trial began the introduction of testimony
this morning tending to show that Drake
was insane at the time he killed Mrs. Ida
Ward at Columbus. 1t was shown that
Drake was dissipating and had taken ten
drinks Of whisky. At one time he had been
to Dwight. Several physicians testified that
Drake was Of unsound mind at the time
of the shooting. Rev. Y. #. Sweeney, of
Columbus, was well acquainted with the
defendant and talked TO him a great many
times about his spiritual welfare and had
invited him to become a member of his
church. In the minister's testimony ne
said he believed Drake at times did not
know right from wrong. and that he was
a person of unsound mind.
Prosecuting. Attorney Myers wanted TO
know IL he took persons In his church that
did know right from wrong, and his re
ply was: Not my church." The tilt be-
tween the attorney and the divine greatly
amused those in the court room. The de-
tense also showed that insanity had pre-
vailed In the Drake family for three gen
eratiOnS.

WHY BROWN is OPPOSED.
Congressman Once FIOpped and

SEYMOUR, Ind, May 16.-Congressman
Jason Il. Brown, who has been confined
to his home in this city for the past three
weeks with epitheloma of the lower lin,
has returned TO Washington. The lip is

Mr.. Brown, before leaving for Washing

his opponent, Hon. s.. NJ. Stockslager, who
is almost sure of the nomination. Brown.
in an interview with a representative of
a local paper. pictured Stockslager as a
chronic place hunter. and told of the many
offices TO which he aspired, but failed TO
reach. He first wanted his old place as
Commissioner of the General Land Office.
Brown recommended him for the place.
but Cleveland would not appoint him.
Stockslager next made application for a
place on the Indian commission. Failing
in that, he made application for Is place
on the Mississippi river commission. All

FRANKLIN. Ind. May 16.-The closing
scene in the Parker-McAfee trial took place
at 8 o'clock when the prisoners were SEN
fenced TO life in States prison. The con-
yicted men appeared very much uncon-
cerned and manifested a stubborn indiffer-
ence. Their mothers were both present but
received little attention from their sons. At
torney Healing was present, but did not
press the matter for a new trial. When
John Parker was asked if he had anything
TO say he replied that he was innocent and
said ii would appear some day. Edward
McAfee made much the same statement.
Before pronouncing sentence Judge john
son spoke to the prisoners as follows:
John Parker and Edward McAfee, / for
the first time in this case. am at liberty
TO express my convictions as to your guilt
or innocense. / believe, from the potion
of my heart. that you, both OF you. are
guilty of the awful crime charged against
you. ] believe that you deliberately muir
dered Charles Eyster. l have no hesitan-
cy in saying that. in my Judgment, If pro-
per punishment had been melted out to you
the judgment rendered against you this
morning would be that you be hanged In
stead of imprisoned for life. The killing
of Charles Eyster was one OF the most
dastardly crimes ever committed in the
State of Indiana. You will, in all proDapil-
ity, spend the remainder OF your lives
within the walls of the penitentiary of this
State. Whether that confinement Will work
any reformation in your lives and charac-
tiers / cannot say. But that Is one or the
purposes of the law. Another object in
your punishment is the protection of the
community at large from any further
crimes which you might be disposed 10 COM
NIT. and that result will at least be ac-
complished. 1 again assert my positive con-
viction hat you are both guilty and l
trust that your fate, the awfulness OF
which / do not beIeve either or you real
ize, may be comprehended by others OF
YOUR class, and that thereby they may be
deferred from following your xample
Should this be a result of this trial then
the law will have been in a measure vim
dicated and society protected"
In q few brief words the court pro-
nounced sentence on the two men, after
Mr.. Healing had questioned the court in re-
gard to which prison Parker and McAfee
were TO be assigned. Judge Johnson re-
ferred TO the law in such cases, under
which convicted persons are TO be sent
from the county in which they are con-
yicted, which will cause them to be sent to
Jacksonville. A large crowd of curious
people were in the court room during the
proceedings, which did not occupy more
than ten minutes. Parker n McAfee
received little sympathy from those In at
tendance. They were returned to jail and
will be taken to the southern prison
tomorrow, unless steps are taken to have
them returned to the northern peniten-
tiary at Michigan City.
