HORACE SCOTT DEAD
IDENTIFIED WITH INDIANA RAIL-
WAYS FOR MANY YEARS.
Long Connected with the "JeH'-Priv-
MIA Not Abused by Ministers.

Col. Horace Scott died. on Thursday
night. at his room In the Victoria Hotel, at
louisville. The Colonel had been identified
with railroads in this section for thirty
years. He begun railroading in New Eng
land and filled nearly every position In the
service before reaching an official place
AT the time OF his death he was president
OF the Louisville Transfer Company In the
West he first came into prominence as gen.
eral superintendent of the Jeffersonvile
Madison & Indianapolis When he first took
charge of the management of this road the
terminus was at Jeffersonville; there was
no bridge across the Ohio. and the freight
In its transit north and south was ferried
There were no competing lines then, and
this roads business was almost as large
then as it is now. He helped build the track
out Fourteenth street, and made an effort
TO have the bridge built where the Jeffer-
sonville bridge is now, but was defeated by
property owners. and the bridge was built
at Fourteenth street. He secured valuable
franchises, which the Pennsylvania Com
pany now hold. He seemed to know every
man under his management. He had great
personal charm and was noted for his sue
cessful efforts among the Legislatures and
councils in Indiana and Kentucky. Colonel
Scott resigned his position with the j., M.
d /. In 1879. The Pennsylvania road had alb
sorbed the smaller line, and the big COR
poration wanted to retain him. but he re-
signed. Then he began to fight this COM
pany and built the Columbus, Hope &
Greensburg road, which is now a part Of the
Big Four Later the differences were sat
isfactorily arranged, and he ceased his OPP
position. Colonel Scott formed a partner
ship, In 1852, with John Lyle editor of the
Columbus, Ind, Democrat, and they built
two short railroads, one in Florida, and
the other, which IS at present a branch of
the Airline. which runs to Cannelton, Ind.
These enterprises did not prove successful

Scott engaged proved unsuccessful In 1874

position three years. He was also vice

THE Heart" is the title of an excellent
paper lately published. Not until we
read this instructive treatise did we have
the true conception of how wonderful
is the work OF the human heart. We
quote by special permission Of the author
the following from the preface;
very few people have ever given the
attention to their hearts that this mpor-
tant organ warrants. This wonderful
little machine which is not much larger
than your hand, and only about two
and half inches thick, labors day and
night without rest, performing such an
enormous amount OF work as to be al
most beyond belief. Psychologists say
each pulsation, or contraction of the
heart exerts so pounds OF force, which
amounts to 3 900 minute, $4,000 ar

THIS WILL HELP VERMONT.

Secretary Spear OF the Vermont
Board of Agriculture has written the
Burlington Free Press what the
boards doing to help summer travel
and bring money back into the state,
Here is his letter;
Ia response 10 your request Tor an
outline Of the work proposed by our
board for this season in the line OF
advertising Vermonts resources, |
will say that theline Of work adopted
in the past in issuing catalogues de-
scribing some OF the cheap farms OF the
state will be continued CHS season !;
and a revised list OF these farms is
now in preparation. No list of this
kind has been issued since 1893, when
catalogue describing nearly 200
farms then unoccupied was published.
have just completed the returns Of
the sales and Withdrawals from sale
of this list to date, and find that 10
of these farms have been sold and is
withdrawn from market since the list
was published.
In addition to the farm list the cat
alogue this year will contain list OF
all the hotels and homes in Vermont,
so far as they can be secured, that
are to be open to summer travel this
season. Their of board and num-
Der that can be accommodated and
location OF house will be given. The
book will also contain some descrip-
tive matter with reference to both
Vermont agriculture and its natural
and scenic attractions. II any per-
sons who want summer boarders do
not receive from our board blank
to be filled before April l, they are in
vited to apply to me for blanks, as it
is likely some who would like to en-
terrain travel, have been omitted
from our list. Moreover, any person
in the state who owns and wishes to
sell an unoccupied farm, with build
ings suitable for occupancy, but does
not receive blank asking for a de-
scription and terms OF sale before
April /, is also requested to send to
me for a blank on which to furnish
description.
The description of unoccupied farms
and summer homes are inserted free
of expense, and these books will be
sent out to all who apply for them.
These descriptive and illustrated cat
alogues will be advertised in city and
Western publica tons to some extent,
and the resultin the past shows that
the circulation secured by our board
has been valuable to those whose
property has been advertised. 1t is
possible that list of farms that are
occupied and for sale will be added;
the owners paying the cost of the
space taken.
The book is expected to contain
from 1875 to $50 pages. A few cuts
will be used and it is intended to
make it tasteful and attractive. The
size of the edition is not yet determine
ed, but it will probably be about
5000 This, believe, embraces our
plans in this direction to date.

hour, and the uncomfortable number of
5,1S4,000 in a single day. Now, it IS
necessary that all this vast amount OF
work should be done. and well done
every day. The health will surely suffer
in consequence of the least failure on the
part of the heart TO properly perform IFS
duties. When it is weak or dcranged 1t
directly affects every organ in the human
body and they are unable to perform
their duties from lack of blood and nerve
force Those organs that are more in
timately associated with the heart are
usually first to feel the effects when it is
irregular and fails to perform its proper
functions"

There was a curious little incident
at Saturdays Pop. 1t was a struggle
between pianist and a muffin man.
The pianist was on the platform; the
muffin man was in the street. The
name of the former was Sauer; the
muffin mans name has not appeared.
Herr Sauer went in first and led off
with the opening bars of Chopin fan
tasia. Then the muffin man began and
continued. His note was monotonous
but penetrating, and in the presence of
a very large audience the German
frankly admitted defeat by taking his
hand from the keyboard. A few more
peals from the bell just emphasized vic
tory; the sound grew feebler and more
distant and then the fantasia was re-
sumed. Some people like music and
others like mullins. Certainly it should
be arranged between this and next Sat-
urday which is to have the dominion
at st. James hall.
