THE SAME is DONE IN SALEM
How a Wheelbarrow is Used to Garry
the Mail.

A citizen of Gainesville, Indiana,
writing to the editor of the paper pub
lished in that town, says:
''This city has now the most unique
mail vehicle in existence. a wheel
barrow w2s probably never before
used in this capacity. A day or so
ago Frank L. Bass, a colored man,
got the contract as mail messenger to
carry the mails from the g. III. & d.
depot to the postoffice, a distance of
two-thirds of mile. Bass has neith-
er horse nor wagon, but unexpectedly
got the contract. and now he trundles
barrow six times day on the round
trip of one and one-third miles 1t is
rule of the department that post
office inspectors are privileged to ride
with the messenger, and our citizens
are eagerly watching every day to see
some Government official astride Of
three or four mail bags on a wheel
barrow coming down the street. and
the motive being Il colored man"
The same state of affairs exists in
Salem. Alexander Toombs, colored,
delivers the mail in a wheelbarrow
between the postoffice and the depot.
1t is hardly probable. however, that
either Inspectors Shultz or Conrad
will ever attempt to impose on Alex
ander by asking him to allow them
free transportation so long as he runs
the present vehicle.

THE REPUBLICAN LEAGUE.
The Currency and All Other Issues
Left With the National Convention.

hclt w Itn tno NaC1Onal convention.
CLEVELAND, O., June 2O.-A few
minutes after the convention adjourn
ed the committee on resolutions COM
pleted it's labors and was ready to re-
port. The report was not surprise.
AS was predicted, it leaves everything
to the next national convention.
Neither the money question nor the
tariff question is even remotely re-
ferred to. The report is based on an
old article of the national league of
Republican clubs, which provides that
the leagues shall not meddle in any
way with affairs which come properly
within the province of the party con-
yention. This rule is No. 13 and
reads as follows:
ner endeav0r to influence the action
of any national, State, county or
municipal convention, nor shall it in
dlcate, as league, any preference for
any candidate before any political
convention, nor shall it, as league,
recommend any person as an applicant
for any official position"
So much for what the leagueshould
not do. AS to what the league should
do, which practically directs what it
should not do, article three was quot
ed. 1t is as follows:
"The objects of the league are to
encourage and assist in the formation
of permanent Republican clubs and
State leagues for effective and organ
lied work, and generally to advance
the principles of the Republican par
ty." On these two old rules the en-
tire resolution is based.
1t will be presented to the conven-
tiOn tomorrow morning. The com.
mittee went into session at 2 o'clock
this afternoon and for four solid hours
the lffty-six members talked. They
came together peaceably when Senator
John Patton, Jr.. called attention to
article 3D. One of the longest speeches
for silver was made by Senator
Dubois, of Idaho.

VERY CHARMING AFFAIR.
THURSDAY NIGHT AT BROWNS
OPERA HOUSE.
Delightful Music and Artistic EIocu-
tiou Please a Large and APP
preciative Audience.

The entertainment at Browns
Opera House, Thursday night, for the
benefit of the Episcopal church, was
one OF the most charming Of the sea-
son.
The audience was larger than we
expected to see upon such a warm
evening and that all were highly
pleased was attested by the hearty
applause which followed each number
So little time was spent in prepara-
tlon and such short notice was given
OF the event that it may almost be
termed an imprOmptu affair and yet it
scored decided success. This is to
be accounted for by reason of the
superior talent engaged and the mod
crate charge for admission.
The programme of the evening was
as follows:
Quartet from Knickerbockers DeKoyen
Misses Antoinette Glenn and Mary Bux-
Brown October Ale. DeKoyen.
DIR. Chas Summers.
Recitation. The Rescue d Bride
Mrs. Anna Randall-Diehl.
Miss Alta CoZart
Dusky Night now Spreads her Pinions
Misses Glenn and Buxton.
With Newer Strings my Mandolin, Gounod.
Mr.. Huyck.
Polonaise op: 81, Moszkowski
Miss Antoinette Glenn.
PART II.
Nymphs and Fauns. Bemberg.
Miss Antoinette Glenn.
Recitation. Selected
Miss Cozart.
Nearest and Dearest. Caracciola
Misses Glenn and Buxton.
Armourer's Song DeKoven.
Mr.. McClement.
Where the Lindens Bloom. Buck.
Miss Buxton.
The Freckled Frog. Leslie
Misses Glenn and Buxton. Messrs.
Huyck and McClement
Miss Anderson, Accompanist.
The strong and clear soprano of Miss
Antoinette Glenn; the rich and musi-
cal contralto of Miss Mary Buxton;
the ringing and pathetic tenor of Mr..
Huyck: the deep and mellow baritone
of Mr.. McClement; the resonant and
melodious soprano Of DR.. Summers;
the pleasing and artistic elocution OF
Miss CoZart, and the correct and
graceful accOmpaniments of Miss
Anderson, combined to give an en-
tertainment of superior excellence.
Miss CoZart was taken suddenly i'll
during the evening and was unable to
render the second number assigned
her. The vacancy was supplied by a
sole by Mr.. Huyck.
The "Freckled Frog" was decidedly
humorous, but full of charming music
and made pleasing finale TO the en-
tertainment.

ELEPHANTS DO BATTLE.
They Fall Out Over a Peanut in a
Circus Parade.

Circus Parade.
People who saw the Wallace circus
in Winston several weeks ago will
read the following interesting story
which comes from Lawrenceburg,
Indiana:
'The $4,000 people here today, local
population included, which turned
out to see the Wallace circus parade
had day in which were combined fun
and fear. The two big elephants that
led the parade fell out over peanut
from a bystander and rushed at each
other trumpeting and screaming.
They beat each other with tusk and
trunk, and the noise of the contest
was heard squares away.
''The tigers, lions, hyenas, irenZied
by the noise, added their outcries and
fought the bars of their cages. The
elephant, Prince, knocked down his
mate, Diamond, and the noise and eX
citement became intense. Patsy Fore
paugh and Johnny Kelly, the elephant
keepers, rushed on the big beasts.
Diamond caught Forepaugh and threw
him 20 feet away against a box car,
rendering him unconscious and bruis-
ing him terribly. Kelly was knocked
down Oy prince.
''The four other elephants were then
called in to capture the two rebels.
They crowded upon them, and after a
terrible struggle knocked the offenders
down and held them until they were
chained. They were punished severely
for three hours before they cried for
relief
Several people were bruised and
knocked about in the melee. One
circus man had leg broken. and the
baby of Mrs. Arden was hurled 10
feet. In the afternoon the parade
took place. Prince and Diamond
walked at the head with discouraged
look and the blood still oozing from
their wOunds!'

DISPENSARY DOESN'T PAY.
1t Has Paid No Profits and Owes tn,
State $4,000.

COLUMBIA, S. c., June 2O.-The re-
port of Liquor Commissioner Nixon
shows that the State liquor dispen-
sary, although enjoying supposed
monopoly, backed by all the forces Of
the State courts and arms, and en-
forced with devoted energy by its
creators, the Tillman- Evans admins
trations, has in the nearly two years
of it's operation not only failed to pay
a profit, but lacks $4,000 OF re i'm
bursting the State the $4,000 it
advanced in 1892 to start the business.
Commissioner Nixon says, in his
report, that the large profits reported
by his predecessor in Office, Mr..
Traxler, as having been earned were
incorrectly estimated by counting in
unearned profits on unsold liquors
and making no allowance for pros
pective losses.

Two Suicides N ear Danville.

DANvILLE, Va, June e19.-Informa-
tion was received here yesterday of
two suicides in the county. One was
that of a young lady, Miss Blackwell,
daughter of Robert Blackwell, of Cas-
well county, N. G. The only informa-
tion received was that she shot herself
yesterday with a pistol. The other
suicide was young man named Har-
ry Smith, who lived six miles from
Chatham, in this county. He was
found dead in his room yesterday and
had evidently been dead two days. He
left some letters, simply saying he
was tired of life, and asked that his
effects be sent to his mother in Lun-
enburg county.

MARSHAL ALLISON CRITICIZED.
The Department of Justice May IDves-
tfgate Why Holland Went Free.

Correspondence of the Sentinel
WASHINGTON, June 2l.-The titi-
Zens of Washington severely criticised
Marshal Allison for coming here with
number of conVicts, the chief of
whom had on new suit of clothes
and was allowed perfect freedom,
while the minor offenders were heavily
handcuffed. Ex-cashier Holland mis-
appropriated about 800, 900 OF other
peoples money. The other convicts
were condemned to serve for much
shorter time in the Albany peniten-
tiary. 1t is possible that the Depart
ment OF Justice will inquire why
Holland was allowed to travel like
gentleman and the other convicts
heavily manaculed.
A competitive examination for con-
sular clerk will be held in the State
Department tomorrow. The place
only pays 81, 900 for the first two
years, but it is for life and the pay is
increased after having served cer-
tain time.
Capt. Howgate was declared guilty
by Washington jury today.

PROF. LEO'S CURES.
Are They Made Through Hypnotic
Influence?

1bnuenCe
The Evangelist, of which Rev. J. II
Jenkins is editor, prints the following
this week under the heading of "a
Sensation in Winston:'
Professor John Leo who is now hold
ing forth in Winston selling a medl-
cine which he claims was discovered
among the Indians, is doing some very
marvellous things. In fact he is COM
pletely battling the medical fraternity.
He is performing some cures of dis
eases of long standing and doing it in
a few minutes as to appear almost
miraculous, except it is done through
means instead of simply divine power
alone. HSrhas effected cures of in
fiamatory ~rheumatism and paralysis
and other % az t'ss-.ssk.
wonderful -1-orrprT -naCurf. Tt rs
charged blythe physicians that he
does it through hypnotic influence.
This he denies unless. as he says, it is
done unconsciously. His method of
effecting cures is to rub his patients
with his medicine to music, performed
by band which he carries with him.
There seems to be no question but
the hypnotic influence is eXerted
whether consciously, while there may
be also some virtue in his medicine.
HyDnotism is now well established
fact in medical science and as to its
possibilities and developments there
remains much to be learned. There
are persons who have discovered that
they possess this power and have
tested it on others. Mr.. A. B. Dan
gerfleld, of Winston, has a brother
who discovered that he possessed this
power to a very marked degree. There
are some very strange things which
can hardly be accounted for unless
scme power like this is eXertcd by one
person over another. 1t will be well
for persons who have any reason to
believe that they possess this strange
power to practically test it as they
can aid in the solution of this most
important question. The laws gov
erning the mind are not yet fully un-
derstood.

TOO FAR AND TOO FAST.
Tide of Trade and Industry Mounting
too High.

NEW YORK. June Pr. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade today
says:
From all parts of the United States
the best advices obtainable tell OF a
rising tide of trade and industry
which threatens here and there to
mount too far and too fast. The
volume of all business is by no means
equal to that of 1892 as yet, though in
some important branches larger than
in that Of any other year. Two influ-
ences of tremendous power contribute
to the rise-encouraging crop news
and confident replenishing of stocks
which have been for two years de-
pleted to the utmost.
Failures for the week have been 228
in the United States, against PA last
year and 81 in Canada, against 25 last
year.
