Will Confine His Speeches to Gold Stand
ard Advocacy.
INDIANAPOLIS, July 1.-The statement
is made by friends OF ex-President Harri.
son that he will make a number OF
speeches for the gold standard in the com
ing campaign, and that he will enter upon
his labors as soon as he returns from his
eastern trip. According to these state
IN ents he will confine his speeches solely
to the money question, will avoid every
thing of a partisan character, and will
permit no demonstrations whatever in
his honor. Although he viii be under the
directions of the Republicans national
committee and will speak at places de-
signated by that body. he will not speak
rs Republican, but as gold standard
man. and his appeals will be to'that class
alone.
The plan of his campaign includes
speeches only in the border southern
states, such as Kentucky Maryland, Mis-
souri,, West Virginia and one or two 9th
ers where the Democrats have majorities,
but where there is a pronounced gold
sentiment. His friends recall the fact
that he refused to indicate what he would
do earlier in the campaign because he
wished to wait until the issues were made
| up by the two national conventions.

CHAMPION scuLLeR OF THE WORLD
An Australian Wins That Title on the
Thames at London.

An Australian Wins That Title ON the
Thames at London.
LONDON, July Thames Stanbury, the
Australian, defeated "Wag'' Harding in
a sculling race on the Thames for the
worlds championship. The race attracted
great crowds to Putncy and Mortlake
Notwithstanding the intense heat of the
day. Watermen along the Thames We're
especially interested in the contest and
with them Harding was n strong favorite.
In their opinion Stanbury had neglected
to allow himself reasonable time to pre-
pare for the race and had not undergone
n strict training at any time during the
last three years. Thus the Australian had
n terrible task to reduce his weight. He
indulsed day after day in the most violent
| exercise and frequently brought on severe
illness before he left his boat. Latterly
his work had been better systematized.
At the twenty-second stroke Stanbury
Led by a length and at 800 yards from the
start was two lengths in the lad, and
| took Harding's water. At Hammersmith h
| the Australian had increased to six
| lengths The race from this point to the
finish was n mere procession, Stanbury
rowing easily and frequently looking
around to view the course. Barnes
bridge was reached in 1877, Stanbury
being eight lengths in front of his com
| petit0r. Stanbury won what appeared tC
be very easy victory. Time, 2l:5I.

The Guaraunos are to be found all

little and wear less. Many authorities
claim that they subsist on the moriche
palm tree alone. Whether this be true

doubt an Indispensable factor III the

a safe elevation for home, but gives a

A missionary at Uganda. referring to
the women recently sent out to that post
by the Church Missionary society, says
"Their arrival caused great joy to the
natives, especially to the women, and
no small amount of comment. The
waists Of the English ladies attracted
great attention. The natives instantly
gave the ladies the name of slender
middled. The king asked various cool
questions-hCw old they were, etc-and
they told him. He then said, On motto
ing their ample sleeves, that they mus,
put all their food up their sleeves, as il
evidently did rot go inside. ~

LONG AND SHORT MAN At CHICAGO.
Police Believe They Have at Last Got the
Bold Bandits.

CHICAGO, July 14.-Although the police
are satisfied that they have under arrest
ut least part Of the long and short hold
up gang. they have been partly bafiied in
their work. William. alias Red" Sulli-
van, was in the ''sweatbox" in Inspector
Fitzpatrick's Office from l o'clock Sum
day afternoon until o'clock yesterday
morning, and from $50 O'Clock yesterday
morning until noon, without making any
damaging admissions. For all that the
police connect the following with tho
gang: - Collins; William, alias Red"
Sullivan; 'Clem,' who is possibly George
Douglas Ciendennin; William Condon
and Thomas McGowen.
The short man" is supposed to be either
Sullivan or Glen" or these, the first
three are believed to be directly connected
with the long series of hold-ups which
has been startling the community. All
of them, with the possible exception of
"Clem.' are said to have some connection
with the shooting of Patrol Sergeant
William Sauer, Of the East Chicago ave-
nue. police station, last Saturday night.
There Is more TO connect Sullivan with
the shooting Of Sergeant Saucr than with
the New York Biscuit and other hold ups
Chief Badenoch and Inspector Fitzpat-
rick laborcd with sullivan incessantly.
They promised, threatened, cajoled They
told him of Thomas McGowcn'S confes-
sion to Inspector Setback that Sullivan
was one OF the men in the buggy who shot
the sergeant. They brought every posi-.
BILE pressure to bear on him. but Red
laughed at them and refused to incrimi-
| nate himself. Several Of the men who
have been held up recently We're brought
in to identify him, but none of the vic.
tins recognized him. His brother, James
| sullivan, and his attorney, John Heron,
were finally admitted to see him about
noon, but he insisted to them that he had
nothing to do with the recent crimes.

Ohio river bridge at Parkersburg, from
Ohio River railroad trains much clearer
and palmer. and of course from the
decks of the river steamers. A splen-
did view of the Island is also had from
the Point at Parkersburg, and from
grim old Fort Foreman just across the
Kanawha from that city. 1t consists
of $50 acres Of fine land, divided into
two farms. now owned, the upper half
by Mr.. Amos w. Gordon, and the lower
by Col. ]. NJ. Johnson, of war fame.
Mr.. Gordon, the proprietor of the upper
farm. has made a noted resort of it, and
many are the pilgrimages made there
in the summer season by parties from
all over the country
The names of many noted person
ages are connected with historic Blen-
nerhassett and have visited its classic
precincts-kings, statesmen, soldiers,
poets and historians. George Wash
ington, the Father of his country is
known to have visited the Island when
a young surveyor and before he was
known to fame. He surveyed a tract Of
country south of the Little Kanawha
and several thousand acres of beauti-
full. level land just below Blennerhas-
sett on the Virginia side Of the OHIO Is
still known and called by the name Of
WashingtOn's Bottom. Louis Philippe,
King of the French, during his cele-
brated voyage down the Ohio in the
wear 1896. landed at the Island and re-
marked upon its beauty and loveliness.
La Sale. the great French discoverer
and his historian father Hennepin. in
their voyage down the Ohio in 1869
made a landing at Blennerhassett and
took possession Of it in the name of the
King of France. From the reports Of
the Indians La Sale thought the Ohio
emptied into the Pacific ocean and that
China could eventually be reached by
drifting down its waters. Walt Whit
man. the good gray poet once visit
ed the spot and wrote a poem on the
Island. of which more hereafter. And
as every one knows, il was the home of
an exiled member of the Irish Paria-
ment. the last of the Blennerhassetts,
and the scene Of the Vaccinations of
Aaron Burr. the noted statesman. who
at one time in the history of this repub-
lie lacked but one vote Of becoming its
President, and who afterward sought
10 destroy his county, second Bene-
dict Arnold.
The original name of the Island was
Backus, from an old grantee of Gov.
Dunmore, of Virginia, who lived on il
for while, but it has been known by
its present title since its purchase by
