though the other knew there was little
probability of his ever being repaid, he
could not refuse the request
Here's the money; keep your book, and
repay me when you can.
The grateful lad went away in such
haste that he lett the book behind. The
kind youth, with curiosity, examined the
volume. 1t was work on astronomy
by Dick, and it so fascinated him that he
sat up all night studying it. He had
never seen anything which $50 filled him
with delight. He determined to learn all
that he could about the wonders OF the
heavens. He began thenceforth to read
everything he could obtain relating to
astronomy.
The next step was to buy small spy
glass; and night alter night he spent
most of the hours on the roof Of his
house, studying the stars. He secured,
second hand, the tube of larger spy
glass, into which he fitted an eye piece,
and sent to Philadelphia for an object
glass. BY and by he obtained a fve-inch
glass, which, as you know, is an nstru-

shop of the photographer; but his nights
brought him rare delight, tor he never
wearied of tracing out the wonders and
marvels OF the worlds around us. With
the aid OF his large spy.glass, he discov-
cred two comets before they were seen by
any of the professional astronomers,
whose superior instruments were contin-
ually roaming the heavens in search OF
the celestial wanderers. This exploit,
YOU may well suppose, made the boy
famous. He was invited by the profess
sors in Vanderbilt university to go hither,
and see what he could do with their six
inch telescope. In the course of the fol
lowing four years he discovered six
comets.
He was next engaged by the Lick OBJ
servatory in California. With the aid Of
that magnificent thirty-six inch refract-
ing telescope, the largest ever made, he
discovered eight comets, and last sum-
mer astonished the world by discovering
the fifth satellite ofJupiter. He invented
a new method of photographing the
nebulae in the Milky Way, and has shown
an originality approaching genius in his
work in star photography.
Perhaps you have already guessed the
name Of this famous astronomer, who is
Prot. E. E. Barnard of the Lick Observa-
tory; and this is the story of how he
worked up Chicago Record.

There are three periods in all life the
time of the bud, OF the flower and of the
perfect fruit. 1t is thus that girlhood
energies into womanhood and womanhood
into motherhood. Almost all of the ills
from which women suffer have their incep-
ton in weakness and disease of the femi-
nine organism, which bears the burdens of
wifehood and motherhood. These disor-
ders usually begin with puberty, childbirth
or with the turn of life" Thousands of
women suffer silently for years in this way,
rather than undergo the examinations and
local treatment insisted upon by the major
ity of physicians. This is unnecessary.
An eminent and skillful specialist, DR..
r. v. Pierce, for thirty years chief consult
ing physician TO the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y, long
since discovered a wonderful medicine
that will cure all troubles of this nature
In the privacy of the home. This medi-
clue Is known as DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. II acts directly on the delicate
and important organs that make wifehood
and motherhood possible. It makes them
strong, healthy and vigorous. II allays in
Illumination, heals liberation, soothes pain
and tones up the nerves. II banishes the
indispositions of the period of impending
maternity and makes baby's advent easy
and almost painless. II transforms weak,
sickly, nervous invalids into happy, healthy
wives and mothers. All good medicine

The window-GIass Scale.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind, Aug. 2.-The news
from Cleveland last night that the glass
workers had split among themselves and
that the wage conference had amounted to
worse than nothing, in fact, that 1T was
indefinitely postponed until the workers
could get together and patch up their dill
ferences, causes a great deal of disappoint-
ment in this city and throughout the en-
tire gas belt. Those who are in touch
with the situation and can trace the
trouble among the workers back to the
beginning a few years ago can see noth-
ing in the future. 1t looks very much ike
the plants will remain closed for weeks
and 1t is not unlikely that il will be De-
cember, or even January, before an agree
ment is signed by all parties. If this is
the case window glass will go up. The de-
mand now is fair and the warehouses are
showing the effects. 1t is announced from
agency headquarters that many manu-
facturers cannot at present fill orders for
difference between the United Workers
last demands and the manufacturers last
concession, which was to pay the highest
wage under the Mckinley tariff, is about
Y per cent. The misfortune is magnited
by the state of affairs throughout the
country and the gas belt All other trades
are getting to work at full time and full
pay.

was jealous of his wife and forbade her WIS.,
iting the town His wife on Sunday even>
ing, disobeying his commands, came to the
village from their home at Garbutt's Mills,
some three miles from Lovett. Andrew pur-
sued her. On arriving at the station he
found her seated on some cross ties near
the depot, in conversation with another
woman and a negro man. Without a word
OF warning he opened fire with pistols
shooting wide of his mark. He fired three
times, two of the shots taking effect in
woman who happened to be in conversa-
ton with his wife. After seeing what he
had done and thinking he had killed his
Wife, he whipped up his mule and attempt

white citizen, seeing what the negro had
done, attempted to stop him just he
was crossing the railroad track. Green
turned his pistol on Mr.. Heath, who was
within few steps of him. The ball en-

eyes, killing him almost instantly. The ne

In a short time the people of the town
learned of the tragedy and q posse of fifty

GLASS FRUIT-JAR BLOWING MA
CHIMES IN OPERATION TODAY.
No Prospect of Gas-Belt window

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
MUNCIE, Ind, Aug 2z.-The trouble at
Ball Brothers fruit-jar works over the
patent blowing machine has been adjusted.
Tomorrow morning the firm will start nine
machines blowing fruit jars for the mar
ket, and in less than two weeks about
thirty in all will be at work. President
Hayes, of the Green-glass Workers Asso-
citation, was here most of last week, as
was G. n. Edmunds, representing the Flint
glass Workers, whose men had been called
by Ball Brothers to run the machines that
have taken the places of a hundred or
more blowers, whose wages ran from 81
to So or more a day. One machine Will
make as much glass as three men can blow
and at an expense not much greater than
the cost of one man, while it dispenses with
the clippers and hundreds Of men In the
grinding rooms, where it was necessary to
give each jar finishing touch The ma
chine makes the bottles ready for shipment.
The company decided on a list price for
the work and announced that members of
either the flint or green-glass organizations
could operate the machines The f1int-glass
workers who have been employed at Tifin,
O., will have the jobs This is considered
big victory for the fints. The green's com
pei their employers to close down two
months in the heated season, but because
of the strong nonunion competition the
flints permit the factories to run the year
round If their owners so desire AS a re-
suit of the new listing the machines can
be worked twelve months in the year, ana
they will be thus doing away with the an
nual vacation Of the men in the future.
This is why the machines will be started
before the remainder of the factory, Wmch
has not yet been equipped. The blowers
will hold their places one tank. The
firm will put two hundred people at work
tomorrow, and on Sept. will have 1900 in
the factory. This is a decreased number,
but it is claimed that the cheapness and
superiority of the machine-made lar Will
command for it larger sale and thus en-
able the company to soon double the num-
Der of employees. Last season the hrm

Near CharIestOwn.

Near CharlestOWn.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind, Aug. 22.-The
appearance of an article recently in the
Journal calling the attention of the loyal
Methodsts of the State to the old Robin
son meeting house near Charlestown, and
suggesting that it would be appropriate
to take charge of it and properly pre-
serve it seems to have borne fruit already.
The church was erected almost a century
ago and is the oldest church house in the
State. The article referred to was extern
sively copied and read, and the result is
that the Jeffersonville district of the Ep-
worth League has taken the matter in
hand. At the district meeting held at the
Deputy camp meeting grounds a few days
ago it was decided to remove the old
building from its present location to the
deputy camp grounds, 1t will be remod-
eled and put in good state of preSerVa-
ton, retaining it's interesting features
far as possible, and in the years to come
it will prove to be not only an object OF
interest, but also one of veneration to the
thousands of Methodists who annually
meet at the beautiful camp grounds. Presi-
dent A. r. SWartz. of the league, is taking
great interest in the matter.
To-day was practically the closing day
of the Deputy camp meetings, conducted
by the Methodist eVangelStS of Indiana
The meetings have been conducted daily
for the past two weeks, and some of the
most prominent, divines in the State and
in the country have preached. The camp
grounds are located in q beautiful grove
just outside the town of Deputy in the
edge of Jefferson county, The camp is
composed of three rows of neat and sub
stantial Whtewashed cottages, all facing
the large auditorium, where the meetings
lies have been camping there and there
hundreds of daily visitors. On Sun
days the number was swelled to thousands
