Our Doomed Forests.

Conceding. for the sake of argument, that
the orders creating thirteen new forest
reservations, with an aggregate area Of
over 20 ,0Oo, 900 acres, which were issued
inst before the close of the late Admins
tration, were ill-advised under all the cir
curnstances and conditions, it seems TO us
that the case is one for reform Of condi-
tions, rather than for a violent retrocession
from the new and necessary forest reserva-
ton policy. Given, proper scheme for
utilization OF the incremento of gro h, under
intelligent and scientific forest manage
ment, and arrangement for the legitimate
prosecution of prospecting and mining opera
ton within the reserved areas ,itwould seem
demonstrable that the good Of the people
would best be subserved by continuing the
present reservations, and Of adding to them
all the remaining timber lands of the con-
tinent stiE under control of the Government
The imperative necessity for such course
is emphasized by the danger of extinction
TO our forests in general, and its certainty
as related to our white pine forest areas, if

upon pine lumber. According to calculations

''Erminie'' will be played by the Castle
Square Company at the Lafayette next
week. "Ermnie'' presents strong and
varied collection of contrasts. The pres
ence of Cadeaux and Ravennes, the two
thieves in the midst of nobility, furnishes
an amusing time throug bout, but the transi-
tons in the scenes are almost as pleasing.
Opening with pretty exterior, represent
ing a rural fete in progress, the action
shifts quickly to the beautiful pink salon,
which has supplied such an artistic char
acter to the production. Presto! The
peasants OF the first act have vanished, AMI
we find the stage Respondent with cour-
tiers, noble ladies. laCkeys and coquettish
handfnaidehs. The harmony Of colors in
this scene is delightfully."- picturesque, and
the foreground never once shows dis
cordant shade against the hazy background
of delicate rose hue. The third act car
ries us to somber Gothic ball, displa ying
the massive old staircase, the oak chimney
piece, armorial bearings, the family pOT-
traits and the tapestry hangings, all in
tile glow of warm log fire. Not hing
could be more pleasing TO the artistic eye
than these striking contrasts. Add &c
these beautiful effects the charm Of a won
derfully drilled company Of capable sing
ers and actors, and the result is u produc
ton that must please the auditor.

Old Paper. Uncovered That May Civ

Old Papers Discovered That May Give
Title to Je7ersonville, Ind.
William Lift, of Arcola, ILL.,, was look
ing through some old family relics in
"cast-off' trunk, which had been stored
with numerous other articles in the
attic of his mothers house, recently,
when he discovered number of deeds
for tracts of land in Indiana, drawn in
favor of his father, Demarcus Lift, long
since dead. The deeds, three in num-
Der, call for three 40-acre tracts of land
located in Jennings county and near the
site of the present city of Jefferson
Vile, Ind. They are printed on sheep
skin, and Notwithstanding the fact
that the documents all bear dates of
August, 1888, are well preserved. The
papers all bear the government seal and
are signed by ex-President Martin Van
Buren,.
Mr.. Lift says neither himself or moth
er knew of the existence of the papers.
AS near as the location of the land can
lie figured, according to the description
in the deeds, it is believed that good
portion of the realty is covered by the
city of Jeffersonville.
Legal assistance has been employed
by the Lift heirs and a strong effort will
be made to recover possession Of the
property.

Strange Sequel to a Historic Enmity
In France.
Ferdinand Danton, great-grandson Of
Jaques Danton, who died on the guillo-

revolution, will wed Viviane Marat,
great-grandniece of Jean Paul Marat,
who died by the dagger of Charlotte
Corday. The engagement has been an
nounced and the wedding, they hope,
will take place in the spring.
Young Danton is poor artist, who

is rich. They met at the unwilling of
the statue erected recently by the mu-

other were enemies during the reign

its strange sequel in the love of the
young people.
There is still an obstacle. Ferdinand

MUST NOT FLlRT.
Bill Introduced in Missouri Legis-
lature to Restrain Trainmen.

ductors and Brakemen Threat

tive Females.

A bill, which has for it's object the
abolishing of one of the prerogatives
of the railroad men of the country, was
introduced in the Missouri legislature
by Representative Hood, who, having
many friends among the railroad men,
was careful to state that he introduced
the measure by request.
The bill, by provisions stronger than
the terms of a money loaner's chattel
mortgage, seeks to put q stop to the
flirting with female passengers by rail-
way conductors and brakemen, and to
make matters binding fine of $25 for
each and every separate move which
can be constructed into an attempt at
flirting is to be imposed upon the Of
fender. The company, corporation or
person owning the railroad upon which
the awful crime of flirting is committed
is held responsible for the good be-
havior of the employees and is liable for
the amount Of the fine in case the guilty
man does not pay it.
Should the bill become a. law any
woman who desires to make life bur-
den for a railroad man will only have
10 swear he has been flirting with her
and Immediately the poor fellow will
find himself within the grasp of the
law. 1t is said the bill was formulated
by woman who rode all over the state
some time ago and never once received
wink or smile from the handsome
fellows in charge of the various trains.

PRINT CLOTH INDUSTRY.
Big Sale Of 10000 Pieces Re-
neves the Decentralization.
Notwithstanding the Transactlon tho
Plan Already Agreed Upon to
Run Short Time Will
BE Carried Out.

The purchase of $50, 900 pieces of print
cloth by M. o. D. Borden at Fall River
is most important one. Although the
sale has just been announced it is prob
able that the arrangements under which
it was made were concluded at least
two weeks ago, while Fall River mill
men We're canvassing for signers to the
curtailment agreement now in force.
The stock of print cloths unsold and
held by the Fall River, Providence and
other eastern mills has been steadily
increasing. On January 1, this year,
the stock of weaves, known us Ga
squares, was nearly 100000 pieces. Late
ly the stock was said to have decreased
10 100000 pieces. Numerous plans We're
discussed for further reducing the sur
plus stock and finally partial curtail-
ment was agreed on. An arrangement
was signed by which 100000 spindles
are to remain idle two days in each
week for 10 weeks or their equivalent
Among the mills signing this was the
Fall River iron works company's mill,
controlled by the Borden interests. Be.
ing himself a party to the curtailment
plan, it is reasonable to suppose that
Mr.. Borden will now insist on it's being
carried out as arranged. His purchase
of 100000 pieces has therefore stimu-
lating effect on the market in which he
will participate TO a great extent.
The cloth purchased represents a
cash value of 1861, 900 tits understood
that the cloths have been purchased for
the use of the American Printing COM
pany's works, which have capacity Of
between $4,000 and $4,000 pieces per
week.
Mr.. Heineman, prominent print
cloth broker, said, in commenting on
the sale, that it had been of vast impor-
lance to the market. There had been
an instant rallying of the buyers in
eastern markets, and it was reasonable
to suppose that print cloths would ad-
vance very materially before March.
The sale provided ready relief for the
present stock embarrassment.

made the startling discovery that was

multitude. What awakened me was a
wife working night and day to get
along on scanty means, one little one
staying at home from school because he
had no shoes, another wearing clothes
that excited the ridicule of other chill
dren, the coal bin empty and very
short allowance In the larder. con-
cluded then and there that the rest of
the world would have to get along the
best it could until had created some
sunshine in my own home. I've been
kept very busy in this new line of work,
finding some time, however, to afford
relief where immediate relief was
