MILLIONAIRE DAVID HARUM.
How William III. Vanderbilt Enjoyed

right.

he wrote to Mr.. Vanderbilt that he had
promised TO give Blair, the trainer of Maud
S, $1,000 as a honorarium. and he thought
Mr.. Vanderbilt ought TO add this TO what
he ought to pay. The presumption is that
Stone thought this marking up Of the price
would break the bargain. One thousand
dollars wasn't much for 4 man like Mr..
Vanderbilt. but that little ruse made him
just as mad as IL IL had taken the last cent
he had on earth. But he was something

is that Mr.. Vanderbilt was willing TO sacri-

for Mr.. Vanderbilt, IL was even more ex-

HARTFORD CITY, Ind, April 2o.-A Sc
rious problem is arising in the ranks of L.
A. $780,, which includes the window-glass
blowers and gatherers of the country. Nine
out of every ten blowers and gatherers
are aliens, and there is a stringent rule In
the organization that only the sons and
brothers of the members of the organiza-
ton are eligible to apprenticeship and ad-
mission to the union. The Americans ar
mostly young men without families. For
this reason the French and Belgian mem

large families, keep increasing the men,

frequently sending back to their nativt
country for a brother. Many American ap-
prentice boys are employed In the window

ing advanced to a gatherer or blower, n
matter how efficient, owing to the law of
quitting and aver that the Americans have
practically no chance of making Roadway
In the industry owing to the lack of oppor.
tunity.
This is one reason why there is such a
great scarcity of blowers and gatherers In
the country now. Not over two-thirds o.
the window-glass capacity of the United
States Is in operation now, owing to the
lack or men In these two skilled trades. A
well-known glass manufactures said yes
terday that, no matter how many new fac
tories are opened, the capacity could not be
increased for the reason that there are not
enough workmen now to fill all the places.

Declares She Wants Nothing to Do

Washington Special to Philadelphia Press.
A little incident occurred in this city a
few days ago which possibly will throw
some light on the future political pros
poets of the admiral of the navy. When
Admiral Dewey determined TO announce
his candidacy for the nomination for Pres

need some pictures TO distribute among
his admirers. Consequently he sent an or

pher in this city TO come out TO his country
home, Beauvoir, where amid scenes of syl-
van simplicity the prospective President
might reveal his features and personality
TO the enthusiastic multitudes. The sum-

he would come 20 Beauvoir with his ap-
paratus and make the plates for the de-
sired pictures. He arrived promptly on
time and was met at the portal of the
beautiful suburban mansion by Mrs.
Dewey. The photographer then tells the
story:

that she had determined TO have nothing

RUSHVILLE. Ind, April 25.-"Colonel'
William p. Hargitt, the veteran tramp
printer. and former editor of the Rush
Vile J~acksonian. is dying at the home of
his sister, Mrs. DR.. Hunter, in Wyoming,
a suburb Of Cincinnati.
Colonel Hargitt is seventy-six years
BID, and probably the most widely known
tramp printer in the country Almost
every printing Office from Maine to Cali
fornia and from the Canadian boundary
to the gulf has at some time in his career
been visited by Colonel Hargitt. He
has been reported dead at least a dozen
times, but always turned up again, as full
of life as ever. The old man, however.
will cash in his last string before many
days, as his nephew says he is gradually
dying from exhaustion and lack of nour-
ishment, which he fails TO take.
Colonel Hargitt left Rushville. last
August, with the intention OF making his
way to the Childs-Drexel Home for Aged
Printers at Colorado Springs. Col. He
proceeded as far as indianapolis, where
he stayed with acquaintance for several
months until he became i'll. The Indian
apolis Typographical Union, to which
Colonel" Hargitt belongs, provided for his
wants during his illness, and saw that he
was carefully nursed at a hospital. Five
weeks ago MIS-. nuIttI tOOh lHC NSSNioh
printer to her home at Wyoming.
Colonel" Hargitt is a native of Ken
lucky. He learned TO set type at Cincin-
natl i'm the forties, and drifted into Indiana.
In 1853, with his brother, George w. Har-
gift, he purchased the nushville Jackson
ian, which they conducted together until
1856, when George w. Hargitt died.
In 1857 he CAV up a position of consid-
cradle Importance to begin the unsettled
life of a tramp printer. which he has fol-
lowed to this day.
Colonel Hargitt and the late George
w. Bates, Of. Rushviile, were intimate
friends. One morning the papers reported
that the colonel was found frozen TO death
i'm one of the northern counties of the
State, and Bates inscribed on the wall of
the Jacksonian Office: "Died-Colonel
William p. Hargitt. Jan. 10, 1885, Two
years later the colonel came along on his
biennial pilgrimage and CHANGED to notice
the inscription on the wall, giving the date
OF mis- death.
Hargitt wrote underneath his obituary
these words: FEB. Is, 1SS7-Ressurrected
and still roaming" Hargitt Is a ripe
Shakspearean scholar, and can quote the
works of Shakespeare from beginning to
end. He Is also well versed In all the
poets.

CONTENTION BY TAYLOR
KENTUCkIAN'S CLAIM OUTLINED BY
SECRETARY TODD.
Spread of the GOebeI Infamy to Other
States FOrecasted - Change Of
Venue Asked i'm Four Cases.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
MADISON, Ind, April 25.-Mackenzie r.
Todd, private secretary of Governor Tay-
Tor, of Kentucky. arrived here last evening
from Frankfort TO Spend a few days with
his mother, who is the guest of Mrs. w.
p. Brown. Mr.. Todd said to a reporter
that he had come to Madison to enjoy
a much-needed rest. after three months of
turmoil at the Kentucky capital. He re-
ports everything quiet at Frankfort, pend
ing the ruling of the Supreme Court, which
is expected within the. next ten days. The
attorneys for Governor Taylor are very
hopeful of success and believe the Federal
Court will take jurisdiction. Mr.. Todd
says the kentucky case is different from
any that has ever been litigated before.
1--WE contend" he said. that the section
of the Federal Constitution, guaranteeing
TO every State a republican form Of gov
eminent, has been violated. The rights Of
the people to rule have been trampled
under foot, and to-day there exists in Ken
lucky a triumvirate, which disregards the
voice of the masses and exercises the
power of the executive, judicial and legis-
lative departments. Under the forms of
law the most outrageous acts have been
committed and sanctioned by the courts.
ton law. which was enacted for the ex-
press purpose of perpetuating a political
oligarchy in power. All the evils which
have resulted in Kentucky in the past few
months can be traced to this law. and until
it is erased from the statute books peace
canno reign in the State.
This de~ep-seated leprosy, which is af-
fecting the body polite in Kentucky, event
ually will spread to other States. To-day
nearly every Southern State is endeavoring
to disfranchise thousands of honest voters.
AS said by Mr.. Lincoln, this country could
not stand part slave and part free; that
IL must ultimately be all slave or all free
So 1t Is In Kentucky and other States. The
time is ripe for the Federal Court to pass
on this question. II a republican form OF
government does not exist in Kentucky,
then 1t is not in the power of the Legis-
lature nor the State courts to pass on the
question. Nor is that power lodged with
Congress or the chief executive. 1t neces-
sarily follows that the Supreme Court. the
highest tribunal in the land, must deter
mine the question. This question must be
settled. If the court decides that 1t cannot
interfere, the Republicans will quietly ac-
quiesce and refer the matter back to the
people. confident of an Overwhelming in
dorsement at the ballot box. We are anx-
ious for an early and peaceable settlement.
Whatever may be the outcome and who
ever may hold the offices, the fact that
w. 8. TAYLOR was elected by the legal
voters of Kentucky under the operation of
the Goebel law remains and will go down
in history, whenever the truth OF history
is known. Not by a majority of 2,4O0,
but by a majority of not less than 49,
Mr.. Todd will remain in Madison until
Saturday, when he will return to Frank
fort.

this afternoon that the 1850 coal miners
employed by the Spring Valley Coal Com
