Mommsen stin Working Away.

Professor Theodore Mommsen, who
has Just celebrated his eighty-third
birthday, is still hard at work He is
completing a new study on Roman
Criminal Law as a supplement to his
welI-known political treatise. 1t is pos
sible too, that the missing volume of
his Roman History" may yet be given
u.s. The first three volumes of his great
work were published in 1854-'55, and
brought the history down to the year 46
B. C. A supplementary volume, deal
ing with the latter empire, was added in
1885 The professor hopes now to at
tack the intervening period of the early

A CLOAK to Cost $4,000.

AT the present moment there is being
made in London to the order of an
English nobleman a cloak upon which
$25, 900 will be spent for the sables. What
this truly imperial robe will be worth
when the work in it, the silken Innings,
the frills of lace and tewelled clasps are
taken into consideration, it would, be
rash to speculate. Beside it three orders
lately given in Paris, in which London
is also strongly interested, for sable
cloaks of SO, 900 each seem almost in
significant, but it appears that $1,000
mantles in this most coveted fur are far
from uncommon.-New York CONNER

Deal in Oil Lands.

NEW YORK, July 15.-Count c.. F. q.
Carracristi, a mining and oil expert, ar
rived to-day on the steamer st. Paul. The
count is returning to this country after
having been instrumental in getting through
a deal in oil lands involving 100000. Count
Carracristi was summoned to London about
a month ago to consult with Profs. W. Z.
Galloway and Beaverton Redwood, experts in
oil. The deal on which the count was called
from this country for consultation was
the purchase Of oil lands in Ohio
and West Virginia. The count had
Investigated the property and he advised
that the purchase be made. This was done
and 100000 changed hands. Count Cara
cristi said: II was consulted with q view
of deciding whether IL would be advan-
tageous for British investors TO purchase
petroleum producing sections In America.
Professor Redwood, who is the chemist to
the British Parliament, came to this coun-
try in the interest of an English syndicate
in February. and as a result OF his inspec-
ton English capital is invested in pc
troleum lands owned by the Cherokee
nation. This was the foundation OF a
new field of English investment. and I have
no doubt that in a short time the American
petroleum will be as much the fashion in
London as Russian oil has been for some
years past. The British public have begun
10 awaken 10 the fact that the Russian
government offers but little protection to
foreign investors in petroleum lands. For
eigners and Jews are not allowed TO hold
property and the lands cannot be held in
trust. as there is no trustee law"

Flint GIa.. Men Picnic.

MUNCIE. Ind. July 15.-The flint glass
workers international convention did little
work to-day, adjourning at noon. after a
morning session, at which no action or Inn
portance was taken. The convention is still
waiting for committee reports. At noon
there was an adjournment made until Mon
day morning. A picnic was INDUCED in this
afternoon at West-side Park by the dele
gates. There was dancing during the after
noon and evening. The baseball game be-
tween East and West delegates. with Presi-
dent Smith as umpire, resulted in a tie,
8 to 5. with the game called on account of
darkness in the tenth. inning. Following
this there were tub and boat races, Presi-
dent Smith besting Vice President Hinckley
in a boat race. This was followed by sack
races. donkey races and other sports. Presi-
dent Smith announces tonight that the del
egates will not get away from Muncie be-
fore Friday of next week. The report from
the green glass workers international meet
ing at Atlantic City last night, to the effect
that It had voted not to amalgamate with
the other trades. caused a sensation in the
meeting here. and kilograms were exchanged
between Presidents Smith and Hayes. TO the
effect that the matter had not yet been
acted on. and the report made an erroneous
impression.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
In all counties where either party has
such a decided majority Of the voters that a
nomination is equivalent to an election, and
where no investigation is ever had as TO the
conduct OF the officials, there is great dam
ger that extravaganza, looseness of meth
DDS and sometimes criminality will be the
result. That such has been the case in
many counties in this State is manifest.
The people demanded some protection and
better safeguards, and the last Legislature
and unusual legislation to reform these
abuses. How effective the law will be can
not now be foreseen. That IL will accom-
plish something in correcting the evils at
which il is aimed cannot be doubted. But
it seems to me that If the people who pay
the taxes in all counties where there is
OF count officials would demand of the
County Commissioners q thorough and
business methods by a competent expert it
would be more effective than the present
law. Such an Investigation occasionally
currence Of these evils in our county af-
fairs. 1t would be a standing menace TO
careless or dishonest officials. As IL is now,
the books and business of a county, are
handed over TO a successor who nay have
been a deputy in the same office. The depu-
ty in many cases is largely indebted to his
predecessor for his nomination and election
and is a willing instrument to cover up any
mistakes or wrong of his predecessor. Thus
year AFTER year the wrongs 20 OH anu the
people who have to bear the burdens OF
high taxation know nothing about how
their business is being done. The anxiety
for party success in the future is a potent
force TO hush up all complaints, but the
enormous expense Of transacting county
business and the consequent increase in
taxation has produced a general feeling OF
unrest and suspicion. Many an honest and
faithful official is looked upon with dis
trust An investigation would remove all
that, and only those who deserve con-
demnation would suffer. 1t is, therefore.
due to the men who have done and are do
ing their duty that the truth should come
out. Party pride, as well as partisan in
terest and policy, would promp the nomi-
nation of capable and honest men, the in
vestigation of whose official conduct would
strengthen and not disgrace and defeat the
party in the future. 1t is bad politics for
any party to attempt to defend or cover up
a wrong. Party ties are not strong enough
TO hold the voters to support of dishonest
officials. In private business the employe
Is under the constant scrutiny and investi-
cation Of his employer. He should be so
In our public business. II 1t were so defal-
cations and embeZzlements would be less
frequent. The Indifference of the people is
largely TO blame for the dishonesty of coun-
ty officials. WILL CUMBACK.

or which has not been announced, but which
will be in the nature of general arbitrator
for the leading roads OF the country-espe-
cially the Vanderbilts. the Pennsylvania and
the Morgan interests. 1t is said. upon APP
p~arently reliable authority, that the matter
was decided upon some time ago, but for
obvious reasons II has been kept from the
knowledge OF the public. Whether the re-
port be true or not-and IL has been impos-
sible TO verify il, for the reason that Mr..
ingalls, is away from home and could not
be located yesterday-it is extremely prob
able. Mr.. ingalls, has not only shown
marked ability as a railroad manager, but
his previous experience as a railroad attor-
ney eminently fits him for a position OF the
character indicated. 1t is said the salary
attached 10 the new position he is 10 FIJI
will be $4,000 a year. The retirement OF
Mr.. ingalls, from the Big Four and the
c. & o.. will lead. no doubt, 20 many changes

from the choosing of a new head or heads for
the two systems. There Is no indication as

these positions.
