A scheme of the II. & O.

A dispatch from Warsaw. last night,
says: THE Benton Harbor & Southeastern
railway, now under construction, will soon
be completed 10 Nappanee. which Is to be a
temporary terminus, and the announce
ment is made that train service will COM
mence not later than March ], 1897. As
soon as the Cincinnati. Union City & Hunt
ington railroad is built to Huntington, a
line will be constructed from that place to
Nappanee, a distance OF thirty-five miles,
via Warsaw and South Whitley, and the
two roads will be consolidated. The pro-
moters of the enterprise state that these
per- but they will soon be a reality. This
statement is corrJborated by the fact that
the work OF construction Is being vigor-
ously pushed ON both lines 1t is believed
here that the Baltimore a. Ohio is behind
the scheme. in order TO get a line between
Cincinnati and Chicago.

In railway and financial circles the i'm

United States Investor says In the last issue
Of that paper: II took trouble to make

penses are being pared down. This. of

up to that point where the property suffers;
thereby. Naturally the investor in the Sc
curities of any road is continually wanting
to know il this point has been reached. In
the period. July 1 to Sept. 80. the gross
earnings of the Wabash have fallen off

place, with'a watery flavor; has nc

and yet has nothing to do with boats.
The ice of Saginaw Bay is used as a

their families, who catch, clean and
pack whitefish and lake trout for
the market. 1t is built in the same
cove every winter, the houses being
constructed of rough pine boards.

In none Of his papers upon "This
Country Of Ours" has eI-President
Harrison delivered himself with such
vehemence and emphasis as he has
in the one in the March Ladies'
Home Journal, "The Presidents
Dutiea." Besides commencing one
Of Mr.. Cleyelsnd's acts, anu censur-
ing Ambassadors for making polit-
ical speeches, he talks Of President
ial appointments in q most feeling
and an almost pathetic way. Upon
the latter theme, in giving endorse
ment 10 Civil Service Reform, ne
say.: In spite Of all the difficulties
that beset the question Of removals
and appointments it must be conced-
ed that much progress in the direct
ion Of q betterment of the service has
been made. The Civil Service Rules
have removed q large number OF
minor offices in the departments At
Washington, and in the postal and
other services, from the scramble of
politics, and have given the Presi-
dent, the Cabinet officers and the
Members Of Congress great relief;
but it still remains true that in the
power of appointment to office the
President finds the most exacting,
unrelenting and distracting of his
duties In the nature of things he
begins to make enemies from the
start, and has no way of escape-it
is fate; and to q sensitive man in
wolves much distress of mind. His
only support is in the good opinion
of those who chiefly care that the
public business shall be we'll done,
and are not disturbed by the con-
sideration whether this man or that
man is doing it; but he hears very
little directly from this class. No
President can conduct a successful
administration without the support
of Congress, and this matter of ap-
pointments, do what he will, often
weakens that support. 1t is for him
always sort of compromise between
his ideal and the best attainable
thing"

THE PERSONAL SIDE OF WASHINGTON.

THE PERSONAL SIDE OF WASHINGTON.
General A. W. Greedy, Of Arctic
fame, begins in the March Ladies'
Home Journal, his articles On George
Washington, which ar. expected to
create considerable discussion. Gen
eral Greeley has read over 200 Of
Washington's private letters, and he
writes in a frank, unbissed way Of
the personal side Of Washington.
His first article will deal with the
loves and courtships of Washington
and his final marriage to the widow
Gusts. General Greeley's articles
are not likely to confirm the esti-
mate of those who regard Washing
ton in an ideal way. But they are
truthful and admirably portray the
man as he was-in reality.

Whaling Industry Centering at San
FranciscO.

Within the next few years San
Francisco will become not only the
whaling port of the world, but also
the centre of the whalebone manu-
featuring interests. Already q
whalebone factory has been estab-
lished in that city, and before long
the six other factories in the United
Staces-now located in the Eastern
States-will undoubtedly be moved
there. This proposition is almost
self-evident when it is considered
that at present five-sixths of all the
whalebOne manufactured in Amer
lea is shipped from San Francisco
across the continent before it is pre-
pared for the market. New Bed
ford, once the great whaling port of
the world, does not send out more
than one or two ships after the levi
athsn now, and all the rest of the
trade is centred at San Francisco.
