NEW BOOK, DAVID HARUM.
A new book published by Dappleton &
Co. of New York, is David Harum, a
story Of American life by Edward Noyes
West cctt Born September q, 1877. died
of consumption March 81, of last year.
One has but TO die but 10 be praised
may well be applied TO the case OF the
author of David Harum. The book was
his first and only work. Had he lived
the story would perhaps have had little
attention, and he would have realized
little from it. But now that the hand
that wrote il is Dulseless every one is anx-
ious TO read the story that was finished
on a death bed. In the introduction writ
ten by Forbes Wermans Of Syracuse,
where Westcott spent most Of his life,
Wermans says: "One Of the most con-
spicuous characteristics OF our contem-
dency to subordinate plot or story 10 the
bold and realistic portrayal of some Of the
types of American life and manners"
Westcott has proved himself most exped-
lent in this line Although devoting his
time TO the banking business and not 10
authorship, his attention was constantly
directed to the study Of peculiar types
Living in Syracuse So long he became
thoroughly saturated with the environ
ments and Drovincialsms of a class Of
people that existed in the rival districts
of central New York. Coming in close con-
tact with these he was able to create his
David Harum. A unique and original
character. although iliiterate. possessing
a wonderful amount of knowledge, and be-
lieving there is nothing wholly bad or
useless in this world, and he says: "a
reasonable amount of feas is good for a
dog; they keep him I'm broodin' on bein'
a dog" He tells his ''hoss stories in a
quaint droll way. which has a magical
fascination for the reader. His horse
trading experiences are alone worth read
ing. Throughout the book runs a love
story, an excellent illustration of 'fthe
course of true love never did run
smooth" with the usual happy termina-
ton. David Harum is sold by Goldsmith

Anything worth doing in this world
is hard to do.
Hope paints beautiful pictures and

In some cases even matrimony is not
an absolute cure for old maidishness.
There is nothing so irritating as the
constitutional patience of intolerably

The energy which some expend to

A CORNER in IRON ORE
IN SESSION AT THE
BATES, PROBABLY PLANNING ONE.
Twenty Representatives who Didn't
Even RCsIsier-Shipments Before
Lake Navigation Closes.

Twenty men. representing the iron and
steel manufacturers of the country. met at
the Bates House yesterday and last night.
No one was allowed to visit them ard the
clerks were instructed TO refuse informa-
ton, even as to the fact of the meeting, 10
every one No one registered, but it was
learned that among those present were the
members of the firm of Brown. Ketcham &
Co., w. S. Simpson, of st. Louis, and Rob-
ert Vierling. of Chicago.
That the meeting had to 90 with the price
of iron and steel was suspected, but one
could not even surmise what details were
under discussion. Late at night one of the
members was asked what the object of
the meeting was and ne replied evasively,
but when suggestions were offered admitted
the present price Of the two commodities
was satisfactory and the principal business
I'm hand was to devise means for securing
more and better shipments of ore and to
maintain the present prices. 1t is apparent
to the iron and steel men that the major
part of the ore shipments from the great
lake region will stop when navigation closes
and all are satisfied that there is plenty
of ore already mined and waiting transpor-
tation.
1t was suggested that concerted effort
was to be made to secure all available lake
vessels as soon as possible and put them in
the ore-carrying trade before cold weather
sets in. but, when asked If that had been
decided on. the iron man refused to COM
nit himself. Judging from what he said,
however, there is plan on foot TO corner
as much of the ore as possible and get
il on the way to the mills, and this will
enable the firms to carry out profitable
contracts at stable prices.

THIRTY YEARSAPRIV
FRANK ALLEN, OF THIS CITY. THE
OLDEST IN THE REGULAR ARMY.
Left Last Night for Fort Brady to BE
Retfred-Hc Always Refused
an Office.

Frank Allen. the oldest private soldier in
the regular army i'm both service and age,
left this city last night for Fort Brady. In
the upper peninsula of Michigan, wnere
his regiment is now located. He came to
this city on recruiting duty with Captain
Black two years ago and has but thirty
days more TO serve until he will be retired
by limitation of service. His hair is nearly
white. Although he has seen almost thirty
two years of continuous service in all sorts
of climates he is still erect and able to do
duty of any kind.
He enlisted the first time at Lancaster,
Pa. in 1861. and would have been eligible to
retire two years ago after thirty
years of service had he not secured his
release soon after his first enlistment and
stayed out of the service long enough to
disqualify him from claiming continu-
Gus service. He re-enlisted. however, in
1869. and next month will have served
thirty years continuously. He has always
refused to accept any noncommissioned
office and is still a private. He will not
remain so. however, more than few days
more. as 1t Is always customary in retiring
a soldier to give him the benefit of the
highest pay a noncommissioned officer can
draw, and, therefore, Allen will be made
first sergeant of his company at once and
carry the dignity for a month. he Will
draw $50 a month for the rest of his life.

LACK A WHISKY STANDARD.
Reason City Health Board Is Not Pros
ecutinE BarreI-HOusc Keepers.

Since the first announcement that the
Board of Health was making analyses of
samples of whisky sold in barrel houses
throughout the city, there has been ill-con-
cealed anxiety among the keepers of these
places as to what might be expected.
Henchmen have been sent from time to
time to make inquiries, as private citizens.
as 10 whom, If any, the board intended to
prosecute. DIR. Clark has always said in
such cases that he had had no time in which
TO make the analysis and that as soon as
lie did so he would know what to do.
The analyses were made two months ago,
and at the time a summary was published
in the Journal. The real cause of delay in
action against vendors of the alleged
whisky, according TO DR.. Clark. is that the
State Board of Health has not yet fixed a
standard of purity of spirits, and, conse-
oUently, the board feels that, in view of
folly to take any steps until the State
board establishes the standards by which
the cheap whisky can be measured. DIR.
Clark says he has talked the matter over
with Dr.. Hurry, and that the latter has as
sured HIM that the inadequacy of the state
boards appropriation is alone responsible
for the fact that the standards of purity
OF all food products have not been estab-
lished and promulgated throughout the
State. As soon as the State board has re-
ceived a new appropriation and has publicly
defined the standards of purity for foods,
the city board will begin prosecutions at

PRESERVING THE SUBJECTS.
Medical College of Indiana Will
Probably Have a Ccld-Storage Room.

A member of the faculty OF the Indiana
Medical College said last night that among
the principal improvements contemplated as
soon as the college is free from debt is the
introduction of a new process Of preserving
subjects for dissection. At present the COL
lege, like nearly all other similar institutions
in the country, uses vat into which, when
IL is filled with chemical fluids. are immersed
the subjects kept for the winter classes. The
preservation is made necessary for the fact
that the supply is often precarious, and, in
order that there may be no interruption In
class work, the watts are resorted to and
sometimes as many as 80 are kept at one
time. This, IL has been found by the leading
colleges, is not altogether satisfactory, as 1t
discolors and in many cases destroys the
tissues. One of the leading medicals col
leges of the country recently introduced a
cold storage system for preserving sub
jectS. Ii requires less space ana is less
offensive than the watts. 1t is a large cooling
room like those used in the packing houses
and from the ceiling are suspended hooks
that look like ice tongs, with blunt points.
These points are inserted In the ears OF SUBJ
jects and by them they are hung up in rows
until used BY this system the skin ana
flesh are kept white and firm and none OF
the tissues is discolored. While IL is some
what more expensive than the watts, Ii gives
better results and will be introduced. II Is
hoped, before the class begins work in 1900.

THE COUNCILS PRUNING KNIFE
Used Yesterday on the Sheriff's and
the County Assessors Offices.

The County Council did some more cut
ting yesterday in the estimates submitted
by county officers for 1900. The sheriffs es-
innate of 81, 400 for removing prisoners to
penal institutions and for taking persons TO
the different benevolent institutions of the
State, was cut down TO 81 500 His estimate
of $3.50 for books and stationery. ETC.. was
reduced 10 $50. In the estimates for Crimi-
nal Court expenses the council eliminated
one item of $685.. sheriff's fees for attend
ing court. This was done on the recommen-
dation of Judge Afford. The council decided
that SEQ would be sufficient for extra coun-
sci TO assist the pauper attorney. The esti-
mated cost of such assistance was 81 coo.
The estimate of clerks per diem and fees
In the Criminal Court was reduced from
$500 TO $725.
The estimate of the county assessor was
considered. and $3.50 was allowed for deputy
hire. The assessor had asked for $500. The
total estimate of sS.lO5.65. submitted by the
assessor, was cut down TO $3.50 The county
recorders estimate OF 81 $50 for supplies
was reduced to 81 200. Ii was decided TO dis
allow the recorders request for $1,000 for
reminding old records and his estimate of
$500 for recopying records and doing spe-
cial indexing. The council is of opinion that
the recorder should perform index work
without extra charge. The other items will
be considered In the estimate OF the County
Commissioners. To-day the council will con-
slider the expenses of the county auditor

THE PANHANDLE WRECK.


The collision between Passenger Train Al
and an extra freight train on the Pan
handle near Cambridge City Sunday night
resulted more seriously in personal injuries
and damage to property than was at first
reported. Head Freight Brakeman Clark
son, of Scipio. was killed and his body was
not found until yesterday morning The In
jured all of this city, are: A. F. Hicks
baggagemaster, dslocated arm and internal
injuries: Warren Gipe. passenger engineer.
seriously bruised and scalded; III. l.. War
rick. freight fireman, arm broken and other
slight injuries; John Pugh, passenger fire.
man, scalded and badly cut on head; c. c.
Jenkins, freight engineer, rib broken and
ankles bruised; Frank Doll, passenger con-
ductor, slight bruises and cuts. Jenkins,
Pugh. Hicks and warrick were taken to
st. Stephens Hospital, at Richmond, for
treatment.
The condition of A. F. Hicks is the most
serious and IL is thought on account of his
age he may not recover. Both trains were
running at high speed and came together
with terrific force. The passenger engine
reared up until II stood on end and the
freight engine was thrown across the track
Both engines were torn almost to scrap iron
and are almost wholly useless. Five loaded
freight cars were destroyed and the bag
gage car badly wrecked. The property loss
was estimated yesterday at $4,000.
GARRISON, the dead brakeman, was MAKING
his first run, though he had been out
about two weeks as student. he did
not jump, but started back from the engine
cab over the tender and was caught. Jenk-
ins, the engineer of the freight. was found
about 800 feet away and was unable to tell
whether he had been thrown that distance
or had wandered away. He acknowledges
he was at fault for the wreck. forgetting
about Train AZ. He had orders TO take the
siding at Jackson's Hill for train No. and
was running fast in order To get in the
clear" Railroad men in the city, after
learning full details. expressed much sur
prise that the train crew escaped with so
few injuries. None of the passengers were
injured beyond a slight shaking UP.
John IT. Butler, son of G. NJ. Butler, OF
Knightstown, was one of the passengers.
He was shaken up and bruised. The first
jar of ths train threw him against the seat
in front Then he moved into the aisle of
the car when instantly a flying projectile
smashed the seat he had just left. Butler
lives in indianapolis and is a drug clerk.
