He said the Roman Catholic Church is in

forty-five thousand members. The Catholic
Church, he said is doing q great work for
the poor class OF people. The Presbyterian
Church, with its thirty thousand members,
is among the first in the missionary work.
The Conversational Church in Japan is the

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
The question of electing county super
intendent in Montgomery county is begin
ming to be brought to the surface in it's true
light. J. S. Turk the present incumbent,
has been in office eight years, and is
Democrat. In this county there are six
Republican to five Democratic township
trustees. This will insure the election of a
Republican, unless one of the Republican
trustees should vote with the Democrats
1t now seems that Mr.. Turk has been en-
cheering a scheme to be reelected himself.
On the face of reports Ward Walkup,
Republican candidate of Walnut township,
claims to be able to secure the five Demo-
cratic trustees, which, with the Republican
trustee, AIinnick, of the same township,
would elect him on the second ballot This
does not seem to please Trustee Lewis Re
publican, of Franklin township. who threat
ems to vote for Mr.. Turk on the first ballot
being the same ballot which the five Dem
ocrats intend to give Mr.. Turk as a COM
)limentary. This would, of course, elect
Mr.. Turk, and the entire affair is clearly
sly scheme of Mr.. Turk 70 get the office
again. AS some of the Republican trustees
ire not favorable toward a caucus thero
remains no cause why one of them should
vote for. a Democrat. nor why a Republican

old pioneer prospector and his younger

adopted In Germany it is not unlikely that in few years more we shall drive our chief competitor, Russia, out of the German market. particularly as the price at which American caviare is sold is very much less than that coming from Russia, which sells at from $2 to $3 a pound. One singular fact in con nection with American caviare made for the German market is that it is salted with German salt, which is sent to the United States for that purpose, as 1t Is claimed-though we imagine without any real ground for the asser- tion-that for the purpose intended Ger man salt possesses superior preserva- tive properties as compared with our own. So strong is this opinion that German salt is sent even as far as the caviare factories on the banks of the Columbia river in Oregon.

ANorHER BOMB IN PARIS.

Uneasy lies the head that wears crown, and crown that wears live head in these days is in luck When President Faure started away on his grand tour he was unpleasantly re- minded of one of the dangers of power by the explosion of a bomb sufficiently near him, and on his return to Paris yesterday he was greeted by similar reminder. Considering what has hap pened he will be fortunate if he goes out of office naturally. Yesterdays bomb, like the one exploded when he started for Russia, does not appear to have been intended as direct assault upon him, but rather to show him and the people of France that there are an- archists around, and loaded ones, too. It is terrible state of affairs and one very difficult to deal adequately with. Recent events in several parts of Flu rope have revealed revival of anarch- istic activity and though there is also an increase of police activity, there is well-founded anxiety lest the enemies of civilization may do other terrible deeds.

ASPHALI'.

New Haven having joined the asphalt pavement brotherhood or sisterhood, or whatever it is, it is interesting to read that Buffalo leads all American cities in the amount of asphalt pavement, and Washington, D. C., comes next. The following are the figures in mileage and square yards of ten cities: Buff falo, 3,O05,645 square yards, two hun dred miles; Washington, 2,761,755 square yards, 120.53 miles; New York, 7,467 square yards, f1fty-eight miles; Kansas City, 695,2O4 square yards, forty-six miles; Chicago, 5O2167 square yards, thirty-three miles; Omaha, 469,- 700 square yards, thirty-one miles;
 Newark, N. J., 2S3, ,467 square yards, nineteen miles; New Orleans, 251 1923 square yards, seventeen miles; St
 Louis, 199,053 square yards. thirteen miles; Topeka, Kansas, 194, ,633, thirteen miles. Washingtons figures include asphalt, asphalt blocks, and coal tar. While New Haven doesn't cut very conspicuous figure in asphalt square yards and miles there is no city in the | country, and probably none In the world, that has a dirtier asphalt pave nent, or that has any such distin- guished street cleaners as some of those who are now doing duty here.

SURF4CE BURT4I-

If MT. F. Seymour Haden, an English investigator, is right some old theories will have to be revised He says that for eleven years he has been burying in the grounds attached to his house animals of every kind and size with the object of ascertaining not only the depth at which interment may be safe ly made, but the time at which com- plete resolution of the buried body may be looked for. Beginning with a depth of 4 fit. 6 in.-the depth prescribed by the local government board-for in stance, he has found that a period of something more than four years (de- pending mainly on the size of the ani- mai burieD is necessary to complete resolution, and, speaking roundly, that for every foot of depth below the sur face year or thereabouts is necessary to insure this end that at a depth of three feet three years are necessary, of two feet two years, and of one foot one year; in a word, that resolution is rapid in proportion as the grave is shall low and the soil porous. Nor is this all For the last two years he has not been burying the body at all, but simply lay ing it on the ground and covering it in every direction with a single foot of earth, and has found that at the end of year every trace of animal tissue has vanished, the bones alone being left. He says that anyone disposed to make a pilgrimage to his house may see one or more of the surface parallelograms a foot thick in every direction, and if a year has elapsed since the interment he may break up the whole of it, when he will find nothing but the bones. The whole process, moreover, takes place without the slightest appreciable effect on the small portion of soil employed or on the purity of the earth beneath or on the sweetness and freshness of the air around. MT. Haden, in a word, appears to demonstrate that the whole system of modern burial is unscientific and wasteful to an extraordinary de-

zation has averted, with the result of concluding that the action taken In 1893 was wise and cannot be reconsid- cred. India remits yearly to England in interest on railroad loans, etc., as much as $S2, 800, ,0OO and the losses in cured in buying gold for this purpose with silver rupees that were constant ly declining in value had already in 1893 become very great. The value of the rupee varied with the market price of silver, so that the Indian treasury was constantly concerned to know whether existing taxes would have to be increased to bring in rupees enough The rupee when the hints were closed was worth 30 cents. If the hints had not been closed the rupee would be worth to-day, at the market price of silver, but 1874 cents Evidently the loss the Indian government suffered in 1893 in buying exchange on London with rupees worth 30 cents, great as 1t was, was small compared with what the loss would be now if it had to be bought with rupees worth but 1874 cents. But as a matter of fact, the suspension of the coinage of rupees has held up their price, as was expected, and the rupee, owing to the closing of the hints, is worth more now in India and London than it was four years ago. It has not fallen with silver, but has sustained value, owing to the gov
 ernment's action, far above its intrinsic value. The phenomenon is one with which we are familiar in the United States. The silver dollar of the United States, though worth now intrinsically but 39& cents, passes among us, owing
 to the suspension of the coinage of such
 dollars and the maintenance of the gold reserve, at 100 cents.

 So the swells of London are going to festoon their gowns with diamonds. just because some success attended such extravaganza at jubilee time Really the idea isn't worthy copying It would be very vulgar to use your diamonds that way; a true lady would hardly do it. It is all very we'll to wear a simple little tiara, stylish little crown and belt or two, with perhaps a dash of sunbursts or so at the cor sage but anything like display of diamonds is not the best taste. Dia- mond buttons on your night-dress are chaste and elegant, and are recom- mended as a cure for sleeplessness, but no true woman will wear diamond studded skirt binding except in the privacy of her own apartment. Don't you care what the Duchess of Thing umbob is doing. Just remember what your mother taught you at her knee long ago about the care and the use of diamonds. Then act accordingly.

FASHION NOTES,
Preparing Fine Feathers

Cool weather will bring renewed in- terest in rich and elaborate gowns for distinctly dressy wear, and already new ideas are put forward for them. They do not seem at all like radical changes, but analysis shows points of marked difference from what has recently been stylish, so the conclusion is inevitable that tasteful planning has disguised the striking newness of these features. Princess reception gowns are to be much worn, and that means trials for the wearers' figures and for the mak- CTS skill. A beautiful model of this sort is shown here.
