ninety years of age. Captain Van SAINT
has operated a fleet of upper Mississippi
river boats for twenty years. He served
through the civil war with an Illinois regi-
ment. His education came from attend
ance at a business college at Hudson, ~.
Y, and in the district schools; he is iovial
and easy 10 reach. and has always been
more or less intimate with Mr.. Hill, though
they belong to different parties. During
the campaign OF two years ago. IL is said
that the Van SAINT campaign managers
tried TO get a campaign contribution from
the railroad magnate, but there was con-
siderable doubt as TO whether he or his
opponent, a Populist. would win, and Mr..
Hill omitted To send his check 10 either
committee. This is said to have angercd
the Governor, though he has never taken
any action that could be construed as an
tagonistic to Hill until the present time.
The Governor" is rather democratic in his
ways. and often delivers a singing rebuke
to those he thinks are stepping higher than
thelr station warrants. He knows j. j.
Hill as a coal merchant. a
agent, and, like almost every one else in
Minnesota, fails to see in him anything
but the man of former days. It is good
politics for Van SAINT TO call a halt In the
consolidation of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific. and he has the people
OF the State with him. However. many OF
them believe that the undertaking is moth
ing more than a bluff.

A correspondent who writes from New

about the late election says:

is best remembered for his jokes, some Of
the more elaborate of which were directed
towards the modification of the spirit of
his brother Leonard, who had the grand

be a leader of fashion. There used to be Il
story of Leonard driving home in a four

by Lawrence in "A donkey-cart. If Justice
Jerome has democratic feelings the proba-
bility is that he came honestly by them.
He may have been born with a presump-

dissipated, for from boyhood he made his
own way in the world, and got what he
got by hard work. 1t is an interesting cir

Mr.. Whistler began life as an engineers
apprentice. One day his employer asked
him to etch a map on copper.
The map was a great success, but by
way of amusing himself young Whistler
made a border around the plate of lu-
dicrOus little caricatures of members of
the firm. Next day he went off on a weeks
holiday, entirely forgetting that he had not
stopped out the terrible little pictures.
Meantime the plate was bitten in with acid
to the head of the firm, who flew into a
towering rage and dismissed Whistler.
Just as Whistler was leaving a delight

Equally amusing was the way in which
the great painter Holman Hunt took a

life as a clerk. His employer was an auc-

and leave him without books and with
very little to do. What was worse the

wings, and the resemblance was lifelike.
There were a hundred or more when the
chief came in. The auctioneer gazed

Split sides Won a
Game by One Pin-The Scores.


The second series of the Indianapolis
Bowling League opened last night and
there were many surprises. The Wash
ingtons furnished the biggest surprise by
taking six games from the Capital City
team and went into second place, forcing
Capital City to fourth place. The Wash
ingtons deserved to win as they rolled
high scores, but Capital City played in
poor luck by losing one game with a score
of SS3. The Marions bowled poorly and
not up to their usual standard. AS a re-
suit. the Ko-We-Ba team administered
three defeats, the largest number the
Marions have suffered in any one evening
this year. The Turner's and North Sides
had a battle royal at the Pastime alleys
and split even. The last game in the sec
ond division was won by North Side by
the narrow margin of one pin. The Ma
tionals and Chescents split even and the

Reciprocity Benefits All.
Reciprocity, in so far as it modi-

United States, is SO plainly for the
benefit of both the American producer
and the consumer that there can be

wisdom of giving the principle free
scope in these fields. Let us hold

We must not surrender home mar
