Surprise aa IndIana.

For the next wear the Indiana House bar
will be the only place in Indiana, outside
the drug stores and speakeasies. where the
bibulous citizen will be able to quench his
fiery thirst or load up with a jag. says the
Blairsville Courier. Joseph w. Clements
is the lucky monOpOlist. Clements has a
lead pipe cinch on the business, for Judge
White turned down mine host Earhart. of
the American House, and likewise Claw
son, formerly proprietor of the Clawson
House. peremp.orily refusing their appli
cations. Judge Whites reason for refus-
these two applications is on account of
some very damaging testimony against
them being presented to the court. il being
alleged that they sold to persons of intem-
perate habits and otherwise failed TO obey
the law and the restrictions laid upon
them by Judge White.

THE LATE DR. L. J. SANFORD.

pr. Leonard J. Sanford, late profes-
 sor of anatomy at the Yale medical
 school, and one of the oldest and most
 prominent physicians in this city, died
 at his residence on Crown street Sat
 urday morning, little after o'clock.
 He had been suffering for weeks from
 heart trouble and his condition had
 been critical for some time. The at
 tack of cardiac prostration that siezed
 him @ week ago was a for of acute an-
 gina pectoris.
 During his illness he retained con-
 sciousness throughout and from med ical point of view took intense interest
 in his own case, at one time consulting with his physician and debating coolly it's phases.
 His brother, Nathan H. Sanford, died suddenly last week at the New Haven house.
 Dr. Sanford was born November IS, 1888, and belonged to one of the oldest
 families in the state. The late F. I. Sanford, judge of the superior court, was also a brother. A son, pr. l.. I. 'odllluIu, uL IIllS Clly, dAu lWO uduSu- ters, survive him.
 Dr. l.. J. Sanford was member of the American Medical association and of the American Academy of Medicine. To American literature he contributed many pamphlets on anatomical sub | jects.
 For many years he was the lecturer on physiology and hygiene in both the academic and scientific departments of Yale university. He was In late years for a long period senior deacon of Cen | ter church. His studies in preparation | for his profession were made at Yale medical college and afterwards at the Jefferson medical college of Philadel- | phia. From the latter he obtained his | degree of doctor of medicine. Yale con- | ferred upon him the degree of M. A. in | 1858. He had been a professor at the Yale medical college since 1863, officiat- l ing until quite recently In April, 1866, Dr. Sanford married | Miss Anne M, daughter of the late | William Cutler of this city. Mrs. San | ford died several months ago Three | children survive, the Misses Adeline
 and Susan Sanford, and Dr. Leonard c. Sanford of this city,

INTERESTING LITERARY EXER-
 CISES.

Very interesting literary exercises were held at Mrs. Cady's school, Hill house avenue, on Friday evening, The exercises comprised music recitatiOns in French, German and English, the reading of original sketches and es- says.
 The piano duets performed by Miss Cheney and Miss Katharine Brown were very enjoyable. both being selec- tions from Rubinstein.
 There were two notable essays by members of the senior class, one upon David Garrick," the actor, and the other upon Alexander Pope" There was a pleasing and graceful recitation by another senior of the German poem by Goethe, "Mignonne.' There was also a very successful paraphrase of Browning's poem, 'Pheidippides, written and well presented by another young lady of the senior class.
 The program occupied an hour and a half. having fourteen numbers. It closed with a chorus by the school un- der the leadership of Miss Griggs. the

SIGNAL CORPS.
New Code Recently Issued by Adju-
 tant General

New Code Recently Issued by Adju-
 tant General.
 The adjutant general has recently is- sued an order in which he declares the old army signal code to be obsolete, and prescribes that the members of the brigade signal corps, c. N. G., shall hereafter use the code recently adopt ed by the United States army and known as the Meyer system for United States army and United States navy signalling. The new code is construct ed on radically different lines from the old one, which was simply the regular telegraph code. All space letters are abolished, and in place of dots and dashes the alphabet is formed of com- binations of the numbers i and 2. In signalling with a flag l is represented by a wave to the left; similarly, in using the heliograph 1 is a short flash and a long one A number has been added to represent the letters t-i-o-n, and twelve ahbreviations are used to represent the common words, such as A for after, T for the, and Y for yes. This one point alone is a most impor- tant change, as formerly it was neces- sary to spell out all these words, an iron-clad rule being never to use an abbreviation in the body of a message. Punctuation marks are abolished, but instead of the comma, period, etc, there are numbers which indicate the end of word, sentence or message. The conventional signals are greatly cut down, and all useless ones, such as accept compliments" are abolished. It is claimed for this new system that it is much easier to learn and it is said that even inexperienced signalmen can send and receive by the telegraph with it. which only experts could do by the old code.

A HISTORIC CANNON



Almost the only relic i'll existence of
the battery that was established III this
city during the Mexican war is an old
cannon that is at present doing duty as
a curbstone fender. AT the time the bat
terry was constructed it was on the edge
of the bay and near where the Orncr of
Broadway and Sansomc street now is.
When peace was declared, the battery
was dismantlcd and the material of any
use was carried away For some reason
one cannon was left behind, carriage
and all. There appeared To be nothing
the matter with it, and it was even used
several times to fire Fourth of July sa-
lutcs.
Asthc years went by tn" carriage was
moved away and remained lying on the
ground for Il time. When Battery street
was cut through, it received its name
from the old fort, and the cannon was
rolled down 10 the edge Of the curb as a
reminder of the old days.
How long it lay there is II question
that nobody can answer for those who
might have done so are all dead. At
any rate it is known that a patriotic
drayman concluded that the cannon
should be taken care of. He got II num-
Der Of volrSltCCrs, and when the curb
stone was put in the crowd carried it to
the corner and pokcd its muZZlc down
into Il hole. 1t has remained there ever
since. San Francisco Call.

Pettigrew of South Dakota, who fol-

St. Louis, has resigned as a member of
the republican congressional commit
tee. The vacancy has not yet been
filled. There are a number of avowed
advocates Of the gold standard OF the
democratic congressional committee
standing practically as much in oppo-
sition to the platform and ticket as
Senator Pettigrew did but no resigna-
tions have been reported up to this date
from the democratic committee.
1t is said when the democratic ma

been nominated as presidential electors
on the democratic ticket prior to the
Chicago convention, have since repudi-
