ldleness is at the bottom Of the
drunkenness, gluttony and sensuality
which compass the destruction of one
section Of the community at the present
time. 1t is at the bottom of that par,ic-
ular form of heartache which is the
plague of women-the heartache of a
purposeless. miserable existence. Such
women often look forward to marriage
to cure them. but when they are mar
rsed and settled the old malady recurs,
and in our own day we see them run
ming hither and thither after that elu-
sive something. Others try to find a
cure in the suffrage and others again in
cigarettes.-Sarah Grand.

Irving and the Imprecntion

Irving was always severely accurate.
Shortly before he put on the "NIerchant
of Venice" he inquired of brother
actor if he could supply some stage
business" for the part of Shylock.
The actor being, like Shylock. Jew,
thought he might, and asked Irving
how he meant to do the ''imprecation
scene" which occurs upon Shylock din.
covering that Jessica has fled with
Lorenzo and the jewelry of her late
mother, Mrs. Shylock.
Irving knelt, held his hands prayer
like and rehearsed the terrible impreca-
ton, Il would my daughter We're dead
at my feet and the jewels in her ears. y
Upon the actors saying he was
wrong, Irving rejoined that he had fol
lowed the stage direction in the book,
and that all the best Shylocks so did it,
as the Keans, Brooke, Fechter and
Phelps.
YES" said the actor, "but they were
all Christians. A Jew in .imprecating
never llneels, but stands upright, pass
ing his open hand over his face"
Irving adopted the hint.
Soon afterward a well known London
solicitor, also Jew, who had seen the
new version, told the actor in question
that he had not before been aware that
Irving was zone of U.S." and he refused
to believe the contrary.-Ledger Month

MANLY AND TRUSTWORTHY.

TIL Chicago Chronicle is an o~ut-and-out
Democratic newspaper. In 1896 it supported
General Palmer for President, but in 1900 no
Bryan man could with reason find fault with
its support of the party candidates. 1t holds
tenaciously TO certain beliefs to which the
Democratic party adhered years ago when
Mr.. Cleveland was elected, and it makes
war continually upon Republican policies.
In its comments, however, upon topics
which should not be treated as partisan the
Chronicle is always frank. Consequently
it treats the refusal of Governor Durbin to
honor the acquisitions Of the Governor of
Kentucky as an act outside of politics, as
follows:
Governor Durbin says he exercises the
discretionary power of refusal Ito the
end that the purposes OF persecution, which
seem to be the conspicuous feature Of this
ferring to Ex-Governor Taylor and Charles
Finleyl before a court partisan to the
very extreme of vindictiveness and a Jury
organized for conviction in its personnel
and impeachment"
These are severe words, but he would be
q careless reader of contemporary events in
the Bluegrass State who would say they
are not justified. The orderly processes of
law are the foundation stones of our form
of government. and If these indicted men
had prospect of fair trial neither Governor
Mount nor Governor Durbin could make
just excuse in refusing extradition papers.
That the reverse is unfortunately true
most fair-minded men, regardless OF party
affiliations. believe. At least, Governor Dur
bin has so convinced himself, and. acting
on such belief, his course is manly and
praiseworthy.
There is good reason TO believe that
most fair-minded men. regardless of party
affiliations" who have followed the pro-
ceedings of Judge CantriH's court through
out the last trial Of Powers must concede
that Governor Durbin had more reasons
upon which TO base his decision than had
the late Governor Mount. because of the
additional outrages which characterized the
last trial.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. Laura Bullion. who,
with Harry L~ongbaugh, is in custody here
on suspicion of being connected in the rob-
berry of the Great Northern express train at
Wagner, Mont, was to-day identified by
a merchant who formerly knew the wom-
an when she lived in Texas. She said TO
the police: 81 have known the prisoner
whom you call Longbaugh since last April.
1 met him in Fort Worth, Tex, and we
have lived under assumed names in various
cities" She said she had lived with Bill
Carver, the train robber. who, she said, was
killed in Sonora, Tex, last April. She said
Longbaugh had plenty of money and she
never had asked any questions about il.
She disclaimed any knowledge OF the Mon
tana train robbery.
AT 4 o'clock this afternoon Laura Bullion
began to make admissions TO Chief esmOn
which he says amount to a confession that
her male companion is the bandit Henry

one Of the Great Northern train robbers.

WATER MAIN BROKE.
Cut in Streets and Rapid
Transit Tunnel Flooded.

NEW YORK, Nov. IA thirty-six-inch
water main that supplies the high pressure
service for Columbia and Washington
Heights broke to-day and sent a flood of
swirling water down the hill TO the excava-
ton for the rapid transit tunnel. The
break occurred at Broadway and One-hun-
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS street. and was
caused by a blast in a nearby trench. The
water quickly filled the trench and sent the
laborers at work in it scurrying to higher
ground. The flood in it's rush down hill
made washouts ten feet deep in the streets.
Several teams were caught in the stream
and the drivers had to jump for safety. At
Observation-Disclosures street part
of the flood was diverted into a shaft Of
the rapid transit tunnel and the laborers
were quickly driven out. Before the water
was shut off at the pumping station dam
age that will. reach many thousands of dol
lars was done to the streets and tunnel.

POLITICAL LEADERS PRESENT.
Some Discussion of the General Situ-

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
~RUSHVILLE, Ind, Nov. 7.-Some of the
leading Republican politicians Of the Sixth
district were in Rushville to-day attending
the meeting of postmasters. Among them
were H. C. Starr, of Richmond; l.. p. New
by. of Knightstown; James p. Goodrich, of
Winchester, chairman Of the Republican
state central committee; Miles X. Moffett,
of Connersville, chairman of the Sixth
district; James NJ. Mcintosh, of Corners

Millikan, of New Castle, state bank eX-
aminer, and candidate for treasurer of
state; Col. f. z. Thayer and William 4.
Hough. of Greenfield; Z. L. Elliott, of Mid
dletown; Col. NJ. ID. Tackett, of Green's
burg; j. b. Thompson. of New Castle, and
ex-senator w. r. Pleake, of Greensburg.
Judge NJ. E. Forkner. E.. H. Bundy and
j. NJ. Morris, of New Castle, and E. j. Bin
ford, of Greenfield, were unable to be here
on account of being engaged in a lawsuit.
Nearly all the Republican newspaper
editors of the district were here.
1t was apparent that the Republican spirit
is very lively in the Sixth district and that
there is little opposition TO the candidacy
of Representative James E. Watson. The
names of one or two people have been men
toned as prospective candidates against
Mr.. Watson, but there has been no con-
certed action against his candidacy. The
name of Thomas Null, of Manila, has
been prominently mentioned in this connec-
ton. Mr.. Null did not attend the meeting
to-day, but a close personal friend of his
made the statement that he Is not a candi-
date. would not be a candidate and in fact
would not make the race for $4,000" Mr..
Watson is confident of his denomination.
There was more or less politics talked in
RushVille to-day and everybody appeared
to be cheerful and confident. Of course il
is always understood that the Sixth dis
trict Is all right for the Republicans, but
notwithstanding they feel that they have
a cinch' this year they expect to do some
hard work.

The hay men Of Indiana and other West
ern States are making a warm fight before
the Interstate-commerce Commission at
Chicago in favor Of a reduction of rail-
road rates on hay. which are now about
twice as high as the rate on grain. 1t is
said that as a result Of this nearly $1,000
600 worth of hay was imported from Canada
during the first nine months of 1900, while
for the whole year previous to that time
less than one-fourth Of that amount was
imported. Produce dealers say Western
hay has been practically forced out of dis
tant markets by the excessive rates the
railroads are charging. 1t is the duty OF
the Interstate-commerce Commission TO
prevent such determinations.

One of the things which the Journal
cannot understand is the hostility which
be permitted to enter the city. There does
not seem to be any good reason for the
other railroad companies to oppose the
project. AS for the people of Indianapolis,
it is probably the first case on record where
any part of them oppose the building of
railroads into the city. In these days. when
people must buy coal, it seems that the
opening Of new fields by a new road would
be regarded with favor by all the people.
