MRS. DEACON In AMERICA.
She Comes from Europe to Care for
Her Insane Husband,

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-It is stated here
on the authority of Mr.. Friends, that Mrs
Edward Parker Deacon arrived from Europe
week ago. 1t is also stated that when she
learned Mr.. Deacon is confined in an asylum
for the insane in Massachusetts, and had
begged to see her, she announced she would
visit him and administer to his wants if his
physicians will permit. 1t is said this rec
onciliation between the man and woman
who figured in one of the most sensational
of tragedies has been brought about by the
mothers love for her children.
Since the tragedy at Nice in which NJ
Emile Abeille lost his life at the hands of
Mr.. Deacon, the wife has held aloof from
her native land. Their three children were
awarded to the care of their father and
were under his protection until the mental
condition of Mr.. Deacon made him unfit for
guardian. The children were then taken
in charge by Mrs. Charles H. Baldwin, the
Stepmother of Mrs. Deacon. The widow of
the late Admiral Baldwin has always taken
practical interest in the family of her
stepdaughter, and the children had every adj
vantage.
Mrs Deacon is still an attractive woman
with plenty of money in her own right. Her
brother, Charles A. Baldwin, of San Fran
CISCO, remained loyal to her during the
trouble abroad, and he has been liberal
with his sister in money matters. Mrs.
Baldwin is immensely wealthy, and she also
aided Mrs. Deacon. During her sojourn on
the continent Mrs. Deacon is said to have
been favored with many offers of marriage.
Titled foreigners and Americans of wealth
laid siege to her heart but the proposals
were not seriously considered. Partisan So
cial circles were several times agog with ru-
mors to the effect that Mrs. Deacon had
consented to wed, but she denied them all.
Two individuals of long descent and titles,
to say nothing of their fortunes, are known
to have made offers, but these brilliant op-
portunities were allowed to pass.

shocked by the shooting of Abeile at the
Hotel Splendide, Nice, on Feb. IS, 1892. Mr.
Deacon found the Frenchman in his wife
apartments, and murder resulted. Deacon
served a year in a foreign prison for this
crime and returned to America at the ex-
piration of the sentence sadly broken in
health. His mentality remained unimpaired
until few months ago. when his mind gave
way. He is now confined in the Mclean
Hospital at Waverly Mass.
The couple were married in 1879 at the
home of Admiral Baldwin, No $50 Fifth
avenue. Mrs peacon,s father died prior to
the killing of Abeille leaving a large estate

CHEERFULNESS.
Right Within Ourselves, Its Birth
place.

Any day vet or cold, hot or dry, is pleas
ant TO the thoroughly healthy man or wom-
an. We have within ourselves the power
to make our days cheerful or diSagreeaDle.
We do not depend upon the condition or the
SKY or atmosphere, for when one IS per-
Tectly poised, physically and mentally, the
days go by as dream or comfort whether
they be dark or sunny.
Our goal should be health. Mental health
"a a strong element to bring about physical
health, but i'll health can be- and is, set up
BY the use of elements contained in food
and drink that do not conform TO the wants
OF nature.
We are inclined to the use of narcotics
and stimulants for their temporary dead
ening or quickening OF the nervous system
and the heart, but these unnatural things
bring about serious conditions; for instance,
the pulse of the coffee drinker or tobacco
great of the heart. This trouble is ordi-
narily coupled with stomach and some
other difficulties.
The ones who see clearly the advantage
in business, home and society, of a perfect
condition of mental and physical health,
will not require urging to have them aban-
don articles of food or drink that prevent
the accomplishment of the desired end.
The leaving off of coffee for ten days and
the use of Postum Food Coffee in its stead
will demonstrate the value of the above
suggestion and the fact that Postum fur
nishes brain and body with wel-seiected
food elements which go TO rebuild the daily
disintegratiOn. while at the same time Pos
tum furnishes a delicious beverage If one

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Acting Com
missioner Of Patents Greedy has made a
number of important amendments to the
rules governing the practice OF the Patent
Office and they have been approved by Sec
rotary Bliss. These rules will apply to all
cases filed after Jan. 1, all cases filed there
to being subject to the old rules. The new
rules provide that no invention submitted is
patentable if it has been described in printed
publications two or more years before the
filing OF the application. Heretofore, If a
foreign patent has been taken out before an
American patent, the term of the latter was
limited to the expiration of the foreign pat
ent which often resulted in the practical
loss of many valuable patents by giving
them very short life. The new rules do
not make this limitation but if the period
between the two patents is over seven
months, no American patent will be
granted. Heretofore preference in acting on
applications was given to inventions
deemed of special Importance to the gov
eminent, especially to the army and navy.
Now cases Will be made special only when
the department interested is personally rep
resented before the Patent Office and asks
for such preference One year is named as
the period within which failure to prosecute
will be held to constitute an abandonment
of the application for patent.

Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Banker Joseph
I. Irwin, of Columbus, Ind, has written
Secretary Gage to ascertain If there are
$4,000 in government bonds, any other
amount, registered in the name of John H.
Wilson. Mr.. Irwin recites that Wilson, an
old bachelor, died at Columbus in May, 1896;
that he owned a hundred-and-sixty-ac
farm in Brown county; that he pretended
to be in constant financial distress and
was continually borrowing small sums from
friends; that shortly before he died $9,24O
in cash was found sewed up in his clothing;
that recently young man claiming to be
a West Virginia lawyer and Wilson's heir
turned up, with the information that at the
time of his demise Wilson had $3.50 in
registered government bonds; that someone
had been collecting the interest, and last,
but not least, that the secretary had ad-
vised him (the alleged heir) to consult r.
win about the matter. To Mr.. Twins re-
quest for enlightenment Secretary Gage
wrote this evening that there were no
bonds registered at the treasury in Mr.. Will
young man from West Virginia that he
was aware of, and that he had certainly
given no one advice to consult the columbus
banker about any bonds. 1t is now up TO
the alleged heir, and he has a large-slzed
explanation to make before he can break
into Mr.. Twins confidence or nope TO get
any of the Wilson cash.

DR.. j. A. SKILTON DEAD
NOTED AS A SKILLED SURGEON DUR
ING THE CIVIL WAR,
And Later as a Newspaper Corre-
spOndent I'm Mexico, Where He
Participated in Stirring Scenes.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Dr. julius Angus
tus Skilton is dead at his home, in Brook
Ign, aged sixty-four years. He performed
distinguished service as a surgeon during
the war; later as a war correspondent and
as consul general in Mexico. AS surgeon of
the Eighty-seventh New York Volunteers,
he served under Gen. Philip Kearney in the
Peninsular campaign. He was through the
seven days fight and was left in charge of
the battlefield by General Sumner when the
army retreated to Malvern Hill. The
wounded were carried to Richmond as pris-
oners and Dr. Skilton was thrown into Lib
by prison. He was exchanged after a few
weeks, but reached New York broken in
health. He took part in the organization
of the Fourteenth New York Cavalry and
helped to suppress the riots in July, 1868.
He went with the regiment to New Orleans
and became medical director of the cav
airy of the gulf department, serving through
the desperate Red river compaign and re-
ceiving a serious wound. He made the first
successful amputation of the shoulder joint
at the battle of Williamsburg and was hon
ored by surgeons for the daring operation.
DR.. Skilton, in 1865, was sent by the New
York Herald to Vera Cruz, where the
french army WAS DSSleSSu ny IIlS 0nS@AiSo"Aio.
He had narrow escape from execution
as spy, but managed to reach the protec-
ton of foreign vessel. After the war he
was made medical officer of the escort
which took General Juarez and his fam
lily to Mexico and restored him to power.
He acted as a newspaper correspondent
until General Grants election as President,
when he was appointed consul general at
the City of Mexico, acting, also in special
matters for England, France and Austria.
1t was DIR. Skilton who exhumed the body
of the unfortunate Emperor Macmillan
and sent it to Austria at the request of
the ruler Of that country. and it was he
who obtained the release of Maximil-
lian's former prime minister, receiving as
a token Of gratitude the custody of the
personal effects of the dead Emperor. While
in Mexico DIR. Skilton made extensive
archaeological discoveries, and his collection
is now in Yale University Museum. AT the
close of General Grants second term he re-
manned in Mexico to engage in railroad
and mining enterprises until ten or twelve
years ago, when he came to New York,
where he has been interested in electrical
and other contracting work in Mexico, the
West Indies and South America.
