That Queer Address.

Americans are an unlimited source of
wonderlnent to relatives whom they
may not sven know, but who, having
remained behind in the old country, do
not forget those who have emigrated,
nor their children, nor their children's
children, especially if they have become
wealthy. Often quaint stories come
showing ignorance of the land Of prom
Use. Thus once a man was asked by q
small E~hopkeeper in Ems what New
York city--he pronounced 1t "sighty"
meant. For he had been accustomed

GOVERNOR MATTHEWS.

The earnest efforts which have been in.
augurated BY Indiana Democrats to Sc.
cure the presidential nomination for Gov
Matthews are bearing such fruit that his
friends are looking forward with conf.
dencs to his triumph at Chicago.
Gov. Claude Matthews is Kentuckian
by birth. He was born in Bath county
in 1S45. He is we'll preserved, and would
ordinarily be regarded as much younger,
for the years have dealt kindly with him.
His hair is slightly tinged with gray, his
step ls elastic, his movements quick and
energetic, and his manner animated. He
weighs about ITO pounds, has a round,
full face, a cordial grasp of the hand and
pleasant smile. The governor was
reared upon farm, and when Is years
of age entered Center college at Danville,
KY, from which he was graduated in
1868. In the meantime be met his wife,
Miss Martha Whitcomb, daughter of Gov.
and later United States Senator Whit

million county, Ind, to live. From that
time till 1890, when he came to Indian
apolis as secretary of state, he resided
upon farm of several hundred acres
near Clinton and devoted himself to its
culture and to stock raising.
la 1873 Gov. Matthews was elected to the
house of representatives from Clinton
county, and in 1890 he was nominated
for state senator in the same district
The supposed necessity of nominating a
farmer to lead the state ticket in the same
year called attention to him as the most
available man for secretary of state, and
he was nominated by the state convention
Tor that office. He made an energetic
campaign, speaking in nearly all the
counties in the state, and was elected by
the phenomenal majority for Indiana of
2l,o0O. Two years later he was asked to
enter the race for the governorship. but
withheld his consent until the ey, of the
state convention. Many of the counties
had refused to instruct for the other can
didates, and when the delegates reached
the city and found Matthews actively in
the race there was hegira to his stand
ard, and he was nominated on the first
ballot. Matthews had been almost unani-
mously nominated in two conventions,
and the ease with which he won inspired
confidence and generated enthusiasm
among his friends. While not an elo-
luent speaker, he proved greater sue

preceding campaign. The campaign was

$60,000,000. but the legislature passed
a new law and it was determined to bring
the corporate property to the basis Of
assessment which obtained in other
cases. The board at once added nearly
$l00,000,000 to the railroad valuation, and
this has stood since 1890 with but few
notifications. The railroads united in
resisting the assessment, but the United
States supreme court sustained it at every
point - Chicago Times Herald

y Great Camps Promise.

For the purpose of discovering the
actual condition of mining In the Cripple
Creek district the Mechem Investment
company has correspondent with over 400
mining companies and mine owners in
that district and has had about forty of
the mines inspected by competent en-
gineers in the employ of the mpany
and the reports exceed the expectations
of those interested in the investigation.
Reports have been received from eighty
five of the companies besides those in
apected by the company's engineers aud
the estimate arrived at is that the product
of the district, if continued as progressed
30 far, will not fall short of $l3,OOO,OOO
for '96.
During the month of March the ore
shipments amounted to value of 1885,
600, to which, if the usual product of the
Independence and Portland mines were
added, would make the ore value reach a
sum of $s23,6OO.
During the first quarter sixty three
steam hoists have been placed on mines
and 800 patents have been obtained as
against seventy-four for the correspond
ing time last year.
The number of paying mines has been
enlarged by so per cent and twice as much
development is going on in the district as
there was one year ago.
The average value of the ore produced
in the district is placed at $65 per ton.--
