One Of the best known men about the In
diAnapolis Board of Trade is Carlos I. Shep-
ari, who for several years has been con-
nscted w;tn the house of ". l.. Kinney, grain
broker. Mr.. Shepard is q bluff. hearty, old
gentleman Of medium height, gray-headod

subjects and is especially orthodox in poll

ness in his convictions ard the viyor with
which he maintains them ne is a man of many
friends for manly men, even though some
times obstinate in their opinions, have the
force of character that win admiration and
friendship.
So a few months ago when the news came
b. his old associates on the Board of Trade
that Mr.. Shepard had received q stroke of
paralysis and that the probabilities were that
his days of usefulness were over, and that
perhaps, his hours were numbered, the deep
est sympathy went out to the smitten man
and his family. 1t seemed to all his friends
almost impossible that this rugged old man,

MINERAL PRODUCTION.

United states Largely Increased It's Gold
Output for the Year.
NEW YORK. Jan. 4.-The Engineer.
ing and Mining Journal contains sta
tistics of the mine productions OF the
United States during 1896. In none OF
the chief articles was there any marked
decrease, while III several there were
considerable increases, notably copper.
The gold production of the United
States for 1896 reached the total Of
So, 900, 900, a gain Owe 1895 of no less
than $40, 100, 500. This extraordinary
advance, which thus far surpasses the
gain reported from any other country in
the world, puts the United States in
the lead of the producing countries.
The output of gold was no less than rs
per cent of the total of the entire world.
Silver Held It's Own.
The production of silver from do
nestle ore reached a total Of 45, 400. l13
fine ounces, showing a decrease from
that of 1896 amounting to S56. O62
ounces only. The silver production
has thus been maintained better than
has been anticipated. Moreover, there
were produced or refined from foreign
lres and bullion by our SHELTERS and
other works no less than 40, OOO, 900 fine
ounces of silver, making the total guam
tity refined o. put into final
marketable form in this coun
try IS, 465, l73 fine ounces This large
production was almost entirely alb
sorbed by the markets and the average
price Of silver for the year shows an
actual advance, having been 81 cents,
although towards the close of the year
it fell about z per cent below that point.
OF the silver obtained from foreign
ores it ia estimated that 3S, 600 ,OOC
ounces came from Mexican ores and
bullion and 2,OO0,O 600 ounces from
materials brought into this country
from Canada, chiefly from British
Columbia.

The C~naccOuntable Inactivity in Cuba
Arousing the Populace.
LONDON, Jan. 5.-The correspondent
at Madrid Of The Times telegraphs to
his paper:
The country is becoming impatient
at the u~naccountable inactivity Of the
executive in Cuba, which is mex Pile
able, considering the favorable circum-
etances-the oppOrtune death of Ma
Geo, the complete breakdown of the at
tempt of the American filibusters,
aided by certain adventurous and SYM
pathizing senators to induce the United
States government to adopt an active
policy and the consequent reaction Of
public opinion throughout Europe in
favor of Spain. All of this points to
one or two crying evils. Either the
home government is deplorably lacking
IN initiative. or the military chiefs in
Cuba are
Incapable and Unworthy Of Confidence.
Perhaps there is a little of both. Any
way, public opinion is unanimous re.
garding the latter. Private advices
reveal that a state of maladministru.
ton is prevailing i'll the island of a
most scandalous character. Even the
government organs do not altogether
deny this and say nothing of the liberal
papers which are being prosecuted Cior
demanding reforms Ill the administra-
ton in Cuba.
This prosecution is an OminOuS sign
and a dangerous action OH the part of
the government while public feeling is
as 1t Is. Possibly Senior Canovas' deci-
SION as to the reforms III Porto Rico is a
taclt recognition that he cannot longer
run counter to public opinion.

RECALL WEYLER
Cuban Junta Has News That
Spain Has Positively Decided
on That Step.
Also Stated That General Rivera
Will Succeed Him in
Cuba.
RumOr Via Madrid That Gomez
and Other Leaders May
Surrender.

New YORK, Jan. News has been
received by Il Cuban junta from
Washington TO the effect thar ,he
Spanish government has positively de-
clded to recall Captain General Weyler.
General Primo de Rivera, it is said,
will succeed General Weyler in Cuba.
He is captain general III the Spanish
army and in favor with the CanOvas
government.
Minister Taylor, it is said, informed
Secretary Olhey several days ago that
the authorities at Madrid were on the
point of relieving General Weyler OF
his command in Cuba. and of appoint
ing as his successor Captain General
Rivera. Reasons We're given in brief
why a change was deemed advisable,
and a statement was made as to the
probable time when the orders would
be promulgated.
Success Was Required.
II is learned that the Madrid gov
eminent Is d~iSp!eased at the fact that
ent raj Weyler. with about 200 900
troops has not put down the Cuban re-
volt. He has expended large sums of
money, but so far has made no decided
Roadway i'll accomplishing his main OBJ
ject, that of quelhng the insurrection
and restoring peace and good order III
Cuba. His troops have been victorious
on occasions. But they have also met
defeat, and the total result, considering
SPANS outlay in life and treasure, is
far from satisfactory Two mach may
have been expected of Weyler, just as
the eXaction Was too great in the case
of Campos. Still the one great re-
misunderstanding not been full
filled, and Weyler has consequently
fallen in official @ steem in Madrid.

Il FORMER VIRGINIA GoFERNoB.
Ercellent Work. of Art by baltimore
Painter.

| Theportrait of ex- Governor of Virgins
F.W. II. Holiday, painted by Mr. Thom&.
G. Corner, Baltimore artist, and now on
exhibition in the art gallery of Myers &
Hedian, on North Charles street, is a
beautiful illustration of the art and power
welded by the portrait painter. The
painting is life-size, and the effect OF the
old Confederate soldier, as portrayed by
Mr.. Corner, with his military bearing and
judicial features is unusually forceful, and
the strong, fine face of the man in the
picture concentrates the thoughts of the
most casual observer
Admiration for the ability of the artist
is forgotten in admiration for the charAc-
ter of the man he has painted As a
character study this picture of Governor
Holiday could hardly be surpassed. The
fearless brown eyes that look deep into
those of the beholder; the sturdy, power
fuI frame; the high forehead, from which
flows his fine. snowy white hair, the
heavy white mustache and beard-all
combine to make up the picture of man,
brave, fearless and true and incapable OF
an ungenerous or ungentlemanly act
Mr.. Corner went down to the home of the
ex-governor in Winchester, Va, to paint
the picture, and has just completed it
Governor Holiday was elected govern
or of Virginia in 1873, and for many
years was leader of his party in the State.
He has now retired from active life, and
spends all his time at home with his fam
lily. He served throughout the war un-
der the Confederate flag, and lost his
right arm while fighting for the Lost
Cause" In the Portait he is represented
as standing, with his hand resting upon
a book on table by his side. The emp
ty coat sleeve is arranged so ingeniously
hat he has the appearance of having his
right hand behind him. Every one who
has seen the portrait of the ex-governor
has been struck with its resemblance to
Andrew Jackson.-Bdito.A ARiericaH.
This portrait was painted by Mr. Cor
ner for Mrs. DIR. G. F. Mason of this
town-the sister of ex. Governor Holli-
day, who will present it to the Common
wealth of Yirginia.-Ed. Free Press.

similar improvement has been in progress
for months and it will be completed and
ready for trains next Sunday Several re-

Myers Hole, at Tablers, the alignment of
the track is being materially changed and as

and sharp. annoying curves are being re-
moved This part OF the work will be done
in sixty days and then a series of very dan
