Springer. of Anderson; Dwight Frazer, OF
Indianapolis, and John Montana, or Union
City. The pleasure of the visit in the South,
however, is due principally to the hospi-
tally Of the Mutual Lumber Company and
the three cypress lumber companies, all OF
whom did everything possible to make the
visit an enjoyable and interesting one Ine
lumbermen learned much concerning yellow
pine and cypress and many were the pre-
dictions that within short time these two
kinds will have a larger usage IN Inc
North. The Indianians were also reminded
that the supply of the South is limited TO
comparatively few years after which the
timber lands there will be much as those
OF Indiana are at present.
The lumbermen have one act or charity
connected with the trip which they can re-
member. They brought North a ffteen-
year-old boy who was picked up in the
swamp near Ruddock. He was running when
he thought to be an alligator. Finding
himself with friends the lad tod his story,
winch was TO the erect tnal ne ndu run
away from his Chicago home, having read
OF a wonderful country in the South. In
his pocket a sorrowful letter from
his mother, which begged him to return
home, and ended with the statement that
anxious mother was praying constantly
for her wandering son. The boy said his
name was Clarence Lavine and his mother
was a widow. The women of the party
were deeply interested in the boy, and 1t
was not three minutes after his arrival
when the edict went forth that the boy
should be taken home. He was made
member OF the party, and on the return
trip a collection was taken, SIG being
raised. The grateful boy went through the
train and thanked each and every one
for their kindness before Indianapolis was
reached. Reaching here he was taken in
charge by William Hoffman and G.. w.
Springer, of Anderson, who saw that he
got a bath and hair cut. After this opera
ton the boy was taken to the When and
fitted with a new suit, underwear, socks,
shirt, collar, cuffs, ties and an overcoat.
A ticket was purchased for Chicago and
the runaway boy was started homeward,
promising in thankful manner before he
left that he will henceforth remain with
his mother.
Just to think" he said, eff / had not
been put off the train near Ruddock

THE ELECTRIC ROAD.
The MOtOrman a Representative of

Charles Dudley Warner, in Harper's.
The hum of the trolley is in the air. II Is
everywhere. 1t has taken possession Of the
atmosphere of the country In the great
cities, where other, and Sharper, and more
strident noises contend with il, IL is less
felt than in villages and on country roads.
There is scarcely any escape now from its
whir and buzz on any of the principal high
ways. At the dead hour of the night the
reader In a secluded country house hears
1t call to him, dragging him out of his
world of poetry, out Of his medieval ro-
nance, out of his classic studies. dissipating
his dream of security and repose, insisting
that he should pay attention to the passing
by of the nineteenth century-nay, more,
to the arrival of the twentieth. 1t bids him
arise and grid his loins and go somewhere.
anywhere, indeed everywhere, and for moth
ing comparatively-for cents. The world is
in motion, the American world Is all in mo-
fleet, but TO go. The trolley calls, and We
must go. The whole air Is electric and we
can only have peace by putting ourselves in
the current and moving on with the whrr-
ing, whizzing world. Who rides so late

THE WOMAN IN THE CASE.
Nothing Would Have Happened but
for Her.

WHO is the woman in the case?'
Ii was Mr.. Mcbride who asked the ques-
ton and the query was directed to Nc
BRIDES friend, Mr. barley, as the two sat
and smoked in McBride's den after dinner
Mrs Mcbride was about to enter the room
at the time and she heard the inquiry and
resented il.
THE woman in the case" she repeated to
herself. The men always think there is a
woman at the bottom of it when man gets
into trouble. 1t was my husband who asked
the question and L am just going to read
him a Lecturer which l hope will also do
some good to Mr.. Darley."7
Mrs. Mcbride entered the room while
these thoughts were passing through her
mind and her presence prevented a prompt
answer, for the men arose she came in
as she seated herself II heard you ask
Mr.. barley who the woman was in the
case Now, l don't know what case il is

know. / merely wish to express my opinion
on the masculine idea-for think Ii is
distinctively masculine notion-that when
man dissraces himself or gets into diff
Guilty or trouble OF any sort there must
perorce be woman at the bottom of 1t.
Ever since Adam set the example in the
Garden Of Eden his initiative sons have
followed his example and with great una
nimity have thrown the blame upon the
woman: l protest against this cusi6m as a
fragrant injustice to my sex. 1t makes me
angry every time hear the insinuation,
and L hear 1t pretty often. The woman
that thou gayest me. said Adam she gave
me OF the fruit and l did eat Men Of
modern times are just like hiza There's
a woman at the bottom of it, say they.
and thus they attempt to shield themselves
and shift the consequences of their own
misdeeds. 1t is enough to make every
woman's blood boil in her veins. Now,
l don't know what case that you two
men were discussing when came in, about
which heard Ey husband ask Who is the
woman In the casey but I'll venture To say
that there is no woman connected with the
matter at all" ar
She looked from her husband to Mr.. OAR
ley and that individual said:

a very praiseworthy defense OF your sex
Don't you think Ii would be better to let the

which possibly might not help your ease?'
NO, l don't think so. Mr.. barley. I'm
so convinced Of the general truth Of what

we have come to call it, by some in the
method then in use Of choosing the German
Emperor, and by others in the method of
choosing Pope, by the College of Car
dinals Sir Henry Maine thinks that the
members of the convention were TO con-
siderable extent guided by the example of
the holy Roman empire" And as Maryland,
where the Electoral College was frst
used, was Catholic colony, the
suggestion seems plausible. But there was
this difference: Our electors are not
permanent body, but fresh men chosen
every four years. We are in the habit of
speaking of the presidential election as TAX
ing place on the first Tuesday after the first
Monday in every fourth year, but in fact
no vote Is given for President and Vice
President at that time at all. The names OF
the party nominees for President and Vice
President are printed the ballots, but,
in fact, no voter votes or can vote for them.
He votes for certain men whose names are
on the ticket as electors; and, by the act of
Feb. 3, 1887, these men. assemble in each
State at the capital on the second Monday
Of January and vote for President and
Vice President. These votes from each State
are sealed and sent in duplicate to the
President of the United States Senate, one
copy by mail and the other by special mes
senger. So that in fact our President is
elected on the second Monday of January
in every fourth year, though we not
in doubt as to who is to be chosen, be-
cause the electors are morally bound by
the nomination in convention.

INSANITY AND EARLY RISING.
A Physician Explains the PrevaIeuca
of Lunacy Among Farmers.


There is hardly any idea more thorough
ly rooted in tbs human breast than that
early to bed and early TO rise makes
man healthy, wealthy and WISE" and II Is
usually accepted truth whether con-
II. Talcott, OF the Middletown On. W State
Insane Asylum. with the theory that moth
ing conduces so much to insanity as early
rising. In proof Of this notion he points
out the relative frequency with which
farmers, their wives, sons and daughters
become insane, statistics showing that this
class are more subject TO mental disorders
than any other. Naturally, the farmer
ought to be the healthieSt and sanest OF
men; his life is tranquil, his food whole
some, he enjoys the continual benefit OF
the fresh air and has plenty TO do. He in
oulges in none OF the designations or city
life, and, therefore, above all other men.
should possess the mems sana in corpora
sano. But he doesn'ts and. as DR.. Talcott
thinks, the reason Is because he rises 50
early From his most youthful years he
begins the habit of turning out OF bed
before dawn, and. in the opinion OF this
physician, nothing could be worse for chill
dren than TO deprive them OF the morning
sleep, which he considers above all sleep
OF health and beauty. During the year 1894,
37e farmers were committed in Nav York
State as lunatics. a larger ratio than IN
any other class except laborers, who also
rise early. On the other hand. the Clergy,
professions, furnish only small con-
tingent TO the mad house-simply. the
doctor urges. because they sensibly take
their morning nap. This theory n a little
revolutionary, but IL will doubtless find
some warm advocates.

HER CHECK WAS A CINDER.
There Was Enough Left for Identffl-

creased from $ coo, 0co to $1,000 900. This
check was by Flood & O'Brien for 100000.
AS to the extreme, checks have been drawn

these Journeys checks have gone over grour

vast sums of money every day. They alsc
serve to minimize the loss OF money from
mistakes. thefts, or other causes.
But one of the greatest curiosities in the
check line has just come to light in this
city. A lady brought II to the Bank OF
California to be cdshed. II was IN a paper
box and had to be handled very carefully.
for it was in two pieces and both were burnt
to crisp. There was not decipherable

of crisp paper represented check for

She had removed the letter from the en-

the letter she found a reference to in

forwarded and the money was paid. The

Caucus.

Results Of the Republican Senatorial
Caucus.
WASHINGTON. June 1.-The Republi-
can senators held a caucus and decided
upon the order in which bills on the cal
endar should be taken up. There was
a general understanding that nothing
should interfere with the consideration
of conference reports OH the appropria-
tiOn bills and that no obstacle should
be placed in the way Of reaching vote
on the Butler bond bill. Other bills are
to be taken up and disposed of in the
following order: Filled cheese, alcohol
in the arts, fruit brandy. immigration.
per cent land bill, labor commission,
election Of senators by the people,
bankruptcy, contempt of courts, courts
in Indian Territory. reorganization of
the Northern Pacific Railway company,
Alabama election investigation, animal
industry. New Hampshire war claims.
1t is generally conceded that the list
will be by no means completed before
adjournment, and the prevailing opin
ion i'll the caucus was that it would be
impossible to dispose of more than a
few of the first named.
