Harper Loses a Game.

Rochester. N. Y, Aug. 1.-THE To-
ronto team took Harper's measure and
hit him at will all through the game.
The Californian was wild, and his de-
livery lacked speed. Luck was all on
the Toronto side. and by placing their
hits at timely intervals, they ran up a
score too large for the Rochesters to
successfully combat. Gray pitched
good ball. The fielding Of both teams
was fair In the main. Toronto's three
double plays told against the locals,
and a stupid bit OF base running on
O'Brien part in the third retired the
side. when prospects were bright for
many tallies. Rochester has signed Joe
Mulvey, late of Brooklyn and Allen

Public Funds, the Supreme Court Says
Must Not be Loaned.

Judge Howard Of the Indiana Su-
lprcme Curt recently handed down
a decision in the case of the Win
chester Electric Light Co., againS
George w. Veale, which will at
tract great deal Of attention from
the county trcaSurerS, clerks, town
ship trustees and other officers
The Judge decided that it is mis-.
appropriation, under the law, for {
public officer to lend public fund.
in his own interest.
The opinion also held that no
such officer can sue to recover mo-
ney thus illegally loaned. Veal was
a county treasurer and loaned sum
OF money to the electric light COM
pany, taking the notes Of the COM
pany as security. For some cause
the notes We're not taken up at the
proper time, and Veal brought suit
To recover the amount loaned by
him. The court decided that mas
much a. he had no right TO loan
money which did not belong to him
he had no right to bring suit for the
amount involved. Veal's attorney
appealed the ease to the supreme
Court and Judge Howard affirmed
the decision Of the lower court.
The loaning of money bv these
prescribed officials is common
throughout the STATE. The legisla-
ture OF 1891 passed an act making
il an offense for county or state
Officers to lend public money, they
have continued to do 50 in violation
Of the law. The practice is not
confined alone to county treasurers,
but to other officers who handle
large sums of money. The loans
are made with no intention of being
dishonest and good security is al
ways demanded AID given, vet the
transaction i not legal one.
The point in Judge Howard's de-
cision that will attract the most at
tention is where he says that no
officer can bring suit to recover
money lost in this way. 1t means
that if the officer lends the money
he does 80 on his own responsibility
and if the man who borrows chooses
To be dishonest the officer will be
forced to lose it. He has no right
to bring suit, and if he does the
Judge will be compelled to rule in
accordance with the decision Of the
Supreme Court.

The number of grains OF coine'
silver equal to one grain OF coine'
gold is called the ratio. This is al
arbitrary enactment Of law. Tn,
original ratio 5000 years befor,
Christ was 10 TO / julius Caesar,
emperor Of Rome, in the year i5 B
G. fixed the ratio at II To | Thi,
ratio was maintained for 1,249 year
throughout the civilized world unit

l2Oi. The ratio fixed by the act 0
the United States congress of 119-
was ID to /. The French ratio al
that time was IL = to /. In 1881
congress changed the ratio to Is to |
The reason for monetizing silver
at that ratio now is that it would be
in accordance with existing law and
would not require the calling in and

silver coins now in circulation

From the Huutingburg News.


And now Huntingburg is also to
be blessed CD with a so-called
Good Citizens League, presum-
tbly TO enforce the Nicholson law.
The News ventures the assertion
without fear of successful contra
diction, that there is no town in
Indiana Of equal population in
which the liquor laws are as well
obeyed az in Huntingburg. But,
evidently, the organizers OF this
league are not satisfied with the
way things are going, and propose
to take the enforcement of the laws
out of the hands of the proper city
officials, and set themselves up a.
sneaking hypocritcs, prowling about
seeking whom they can find violat-
ing the liquor laws. "Jedes Thier-
chen hat sein Plae-irchen." F."
Briarlield bridge two miles north
OF Huntingburg on the Jasper road,
was recently covered with new
shingle roof and otherwise repaired
This bridge j. one of the Oldest cov-
cred bridges in the county and has
been considered weak long
time. Ex-trustee Bambcrger in
forms us that the old board of com
missioners instructed him not tc
have any repairs made on thi.
bridge. as il would have to he re-
placed by new one soon anyway
The present board Of Commission
toners, however, ordered trustee
Bchrens to make the repairs.
You may perhaps not have
thought Of it, but it is true all the
same. The president, vice -presi-
dent, general superintendent and
chief marshal of the Fair Associa
ton have each had a boy baby at
their homes during the past year,
and ut least one director is the proud
father OF girl baby. Our Fair has
been great success this year, in
more ways than one.

pei were awarded the contract last

LINCOLNS HESITANCY TO MARRY.


Letters from Lincoln to his closest
friend, Joshua Fry Speed, subse-
Iuent to the latter's marriage, be-
tray an anxious and impatient de-
sire to learn if marriage is a path
way of flowers and sunlight, and
not of darkness and pain the two
lad morbidly feared it to be. John
iilm,r Speed presents these hither-
to unpublished letters bearing upon
Lincoln's Hesitancy to Marry" in
the October Ladies' Home Journal.
In one Lincoln says:
1T cannot be told how it now
thrills me with Joy to hear you say
you are far happier than you ever
expected to be. (" That much know
is enough. | know you too we'll to
suppose your expectations were not,
at least sometimes. extravagant,
and if the reality exceeds them all,
| say, enough, dear Lord. | am
not going beyond the truth when |
tell you that the short space it took
me to read your last letter gave me
more pleasure than the sum total
Of all have enjoyed since the fatal
lst of January, 1S41. Since then,
it seems to me, should have been
entirely happy but for the never-ab-
sent idea that there is one (referring
to Miss Mary Todd) who is still un-
happy, whom ! have contributed to
make 50. That still kills my soul.
| cannot but reproach myself for
even wishes to be happy while she
is otherwise. She accompanied
large party in the railroad cars to
jacksonville last Monday, and on
her return spoke so that heard OF
it, Of having enjoyed the trip ex-
ceedingly God be praised fol that.
One thing ! can tell you which |
know you will be glad to hear, and
that is that | have seen Mary and
scrutinized her feelings as well As |
could, and am fully convinced she
is far happier now than she has
been for the last fifteen months
past. =
Eight months after Speed had
married Mr.. Lincoln wrote him:
"But | want to ask close ques-
ton Are you now in feeling as
well as judgment glad that you are
married as you are?' From any
body but me this would be an i'm
pudent question not to be tolerated,
but | know you will pardon me.
Please answer it quickly, as ! am
impatient to know
Mr.Lincoln's object in asking the
"close question" is manifest. Mr..
Speed gave the answer quickly and
sat. ifactorily, and on the 4th of
November GS42), one month ex-
actly after the question had been
submitted, Mr.. Lincoln was mar
ried.

The Rochester, n. T., banks,
which recently shipped $3.50, 900 in
gold to the sub-treasury in New
York, are out 81, 800. The govern
ment stamp on this coin Indicated
that there were 25.S grains of stand
ard gold in each dollar But when
they were weighed they we're found
wanting. The government stamp
could not prevent the metal from
wearing away, and the holder Of the
coin had to stand the loss when
turned into the treasury, because
light weight coin when it cones to
the treasury is put into the reco in
ing box and shipped to the mint to
be made over into full weight dol
lars. This actual occurrence, which
is the second during the last two
weeks, shows that the claim Of the
|goldtes that the metal in a gold
dollar is always worth 100 cents is
an error. The metal in a gold dol
lar is only worth 100 cents when il
weighs fully up to the amount fixed
by the law Of the American Congress
rs necessary to constitute a gold dol
lar. There is another lesson tolearn
from it and that is that il is not as
reliable metal for domestic cur
rency as silver, because it wears
away SO much faster and ceases to
he money when it becomes light
weight. Evansville Courier.

An interesting experiment of turn.
ing large farms into small holdings,
which may help to solve the agri'
cultural problem in England, was
recently completed in Dorsctshire.
Sir Robert Edgecombe, seven years
ago, bought farm of 343 acres,
spent money in building roads and
wells, divided it up into twenty-five
holdings of from two to thirty-three
acres, and offered them for sale,
payments to be made in ten equal
annual installments. Purchasers
were readily found Of all trades and
classes, eight only being agricultural
laborers, and all the installments,
with slight exceptions, have already
been paid Off Instead Of farmer
and three laborcrs, there are now
twenty families Of sevcnty-iive
persons on the land, which has
Increased in value from ilIO t.
