close to the gas jet that served for a light

the sesquipedalian ON account of his big

Well, if my olfactory nerves are not de-

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal
| am often puzzled as L read the Journal
I have been for years reader Of the daily
Journal--to understand why so much space
is given to what appears to me to be such
trivial matters. and this was forcibly
brought to my notice as 1 read in the Jour
nal a few days ago, and to-day again, an
other article on the same subject from "a
member of a euchre club" The first article
gives every detail, apparently, of the NAM
ing of the euchre club, and if one was not
somewhat acquainted with the literary
world he would be led to think that the two
little words composing the classic name
"Quo Vadis" of the said euchre club, were
never placed in the same relation to each
other before, and it would be understood
to be coined by a member of this club. Then
"A Member" thinking perhaps that thou
sands of the readers of the Journal We're
dying to know its meaning in English vol
unteers his time between plays to "show
his hand in trapslating it. OF course it is
very interesting to know that this partic-
ular euchre club does exist, and if the
christening could have been done in honor
of the author of "Quo Vadis' it might have
given an impetus to the cause Of literary
research and some good might have been
done in a twelve or fifteen-line announce
ment in the Journal instead of nearly
column in two issues. G. G. NJ.

Temper and Rascality.
(Holston Methodist.O

Strange as it is, it is true that i'll
temper goes further towards max
ing man unpopular, than bad char.
acter otherwise. A good d-natured
rascal often has many aud warm
ftiends, but churl, be he over so
honest, is avoided by everybody.
A reason for this is, that a man s
rascalities usually cause us incon-
yeinence only occasionally, while an
ill-tempered associate or neighbor
jaggers us frequently with his porcu
pine qnills. The mosquito is more
dreaded than the rattlesnake for
we have usually to to a disance to
find the latter, and find it only occa
sionally; but the former comes TO ms
and serenades us again and again,
all night long.
Indeed the love of ease with too
many of US is stronger passion than
the love of right.

BARRl0S WAS SHOT.
Details Of the Assassination OF the President
OF Guatemala

Details of the assassination of
President Barrios, of Guatemala,
has just reached here from Qua.
temala c,ty. These advices state
that President Barrios was shot
and killed ut s o'clock on Tuesday
night. The shooting took place
near the palace, while the President
was walking. accompanied by five
guards. The assassin met the party
and stepped off the sidewalk, appar-
entity to let the President pass.
Then he pushed aside the two men
nearest Sonor Barrios, thrust a re
volver against the Presidents face
and shot him in the mouth and then
in the stomach. The murderer then
ran, but was shot to death by the
guards who chased him. Senior
Barris died in few minutes.
President Barrios' assassin was
twenty-tnree yeaas old. For years
he was an employee of Senior Don
Jnan Aparicio, well.known finan.
cier, who was killed by govern
ment soldier during tho revolution
aay outbreak last September, while
he was held prisoner The assassin
name is Oscar Zollidger. He was n
British subject.
Senor Aparic!o was wealthy and
pnpular. His death caused great
feeling against President Barrios
and Zollinger's act was the result.
He came tc Guatemala three weeks
ago, and has resumably been
watching for an opportunity TO kill
Senior Barrios siucd his arrival.
Zollinger was heavy and muscular,
and he acted SO suddenly that the
gnards could do nothing.
After the assassination the foreign
ministers in Guatemala callde at the
palace and expressed their regret.
There is little excitement in Guate-
mala.

ready answer is simply this: The
energetic Republicans in Virginia
are numbered by thousands, but the
Republican leaders are known to be
Judge Waddill, Col Brady, Mr.. Ag.

soever these gentlemen say goes

Congressman Young, of the Nor
folk district, called on Secretary
Gage today and discussed with that
gentleman the wrong that would be
done to Norfolk if that itel> in his
bill now before Congress, merging
the Norfolk district with Newport
News, were to be enacted into law
Norfolk is too old and important a
port to be wiped out, Congressman
Young thinks. Secretary Gage said
he would look into the matter, but
the bill as whole, he says, should
be passed. Congressman Epes will
see the Secretary to morrow and pro
test against the Petersburg Office
being merged into the Richmond
district.
Collector Bethel's income is now
only about 5000 per annum accord

emoluments of his district, regard

himself about lodging protest
