John R. McLean'S
Great Newspaper.

Without a single exception, there
is beyond doubt no greater or more
popular newspaper in the United
States than the Cincinnati Enquirer
or a more successful publisher than
its proprietor, Mr.. John r. Mclean.
The old-time prices for the Daily
Enquirer have been maintained, and
its circulation largely increased each
year; hard times and cheaper jour-
mails failing to arrest its onward march
and high appreciation of the public
for its true worth and merit.
The Weekly Enquirer at beginning
of the campaign year was offered at
so cents year, and its circulation
increased by the addition of over
200, 900 new subscribers; the most
substantial and coveted testimonial a
publisher could desire.
When asked for the secret of such
success, Mr.. Mclean frankly answers: /:
The Enquirer has no opinions to force
upon its patrons, it simply prints the
facts and tells the truth that the reader
may form his own opinions. by
maintaining the price of the paper,
more news and greater variety can be
furnished, and every class of business
interests catered to, which a cheaper
journal cannot afford.
The very liberal support given the
Enquirer by the public at large, makes
1t incumbent upon the management
to serve it faithfully with zeal and en-
terprise in minor matters as well as
those of greater magnitude.

Rebekah Hines.

Mr. Philip Hines, one of the subjects
OF this sketch, was one hundred and six
years old, August 18th, 1890. He Is con-
sdered the oldest resident of Ohio and
beyond a doubt the Oldest husband in
the United States. He was born in
Maryland. In early boyhood he took a
fancy to the boots and shoss made bv
his uncle, Philip Hlnea. whose name he
bears. His uncle thinking that he would
make success OF the trade, taught 1t
to him, and In few years he found him
self making foot-sear for the sterner sex
and bellies of the ne!ghborhood.
Then in the prime of his youth he
moved to Knox county, Ohio and OPEN
ed a shop. He was the youngest son of
a family OF five and was considered ono
OF the most industrious men of the
neishborhood. When he located In Knox
county, he was surrounded by Indian
camps and with Wild beasts he came In
contact almost constantly. He made
friends with the Indians, whose favor he
won not only for himself but for his
sweetheart, Rsbekah Keckler. They
seemed to be the guardians for the cop
per race. Philip enjoyed their compan-
ionship and at his off-tlmes took part
In thelt amusements, playing ball and
running foot races.
when the war broke out Philip laid
down his hammer and psggng awl,
came to Delaware, Joined the Elgh-
teenth regulars, U. s, A., when he was
Il years old. He Joined Camp Chase at
Columbus and served in the capacity OF
cook. He was not discharged until nine
years ago, and Is doubtless the last old
veteran discharged. When the war
drums ceased and the golden music OF
the bugle was hushed, he was homo on
furlough and thought that was all But
In order to draw his allowance he was
compelled 10 get his discharge In regu-
lar order, as these funds are only given
TO soldiers hoac rabiy discharged. Com

Origin of Tho s,ea m whl.iin.

An old locomotive engineer gives this
account Of the way the whistle came to
be put ON the locomotives More than
fifty years ago an engineer ON an Eng
lish road saw crossing the track an old
farmer with load of country produce.
The engineer blew his tin horn, but the
farmer did not hear IT, The locomotive
struck the wagon and mixed eggs and
butter thoroughly. The company had
TO pay the damages and the directors
employed George Stephenson to devise
some better arrangement for sounding
tn locomotives approach. Stephenson.
the next day devised a rude steam
whistle which was considered the very
thing by the company.

It is surprising in this enlightened age that anybody should talk of nat ural law in connection with financial matters, but Senator Gray of Delaware did it. He spoke of gold as the nat ural standard of value and said natural law cannot be changed. Everybody else knows, if the gentleman from Del aware does not, that gold does not fall below a certain fixed value because the Bank of England is compelled by law to purchase all the gold offered and pay for it at it's fixed valuation. The law which compels this is not a nat ural law, but a law enacte9a by the British parliament
