 A sewer is being built through the center of Southport, About five hun dred pounds of dynamite sticks. to be used in blasting, were placed in the closed roadway near the sewer A butchers lad, ignoring the signs of Street Closed" drove through the roadway for a short cut.
 Workmen attempted with shovels and sticks to prevent the butcher boy from driving over the dynamite, but he whipped up his horse and sped on. The workmen scattered in every direction. Boy and wagon went on over the five hundred pounds of dynamite in the roadway. An inspection of the sticks of powder showed that they had been ground into the soft earth, and some of them had been smashed by the horses hoofs.

STUDENT HONOR.
An Interesting Consideration of the
 Matter.

An Interesting Consiaefat1on or the
 Matter.
 Is the American student lacking in honor? The question is inevitably sug- gested by Princetons wholesale rejec- tion for "cribbing" of candidates for admission prepared at Andover. It Is evident that the "cribbing" spirit was prevalent in that particular class of bows, and they came from one of the hest preparatory schools and from families which might be expected to produce the highest type of American vouth. This may be rare and isolated instance of cheating in examinations, but we fear it is rare only in having been found out. Observers of college affairs have not infrequently complain ed of the low standard of student opin- ion on this question, and not great while ago an eminent teacher publicly expressed doubts of the success of the so-called "honor system" owing to the habit of the boys of beating" the fac ultv whenever they had the opportun- ity.
 More or less "cribbing' probably goes on in every school and college, and the extent and wickedness of it depend very much on the traditions of the par ticuiar place and it's artificial code of honor: for no body of persons, not even duelists, have more artificial code of honor than students. Conven- tionalities may change, but it is not likely that healthy American boys are any less manly than their fathers were. Most of those fathers who went to col lege and have memories can recall q time when ''cribbing" was considered breach of minor morals. It was smart to beat a professor. He was a natural enemy, and all was fair in love and war A Yale graduate recently, speak ing of sentiment on this subject 30 years ago, said that 'cribbing" did not make a man lose caste if it was merely an ex- pedient to stay in college or avoid the penalties of forgetting ones books for some college sport. It was considered

KENTUCKY COUNTY ALARMED
Judges Refuse to Act in Murder Trial

LEXINGTON, KY, June g
John Fl. Johns, an attorney of
this city, returned today from
Jackson, KY, whittier he went
to defend Thomas Cockrell,
charged with numbering Ben
Hargis several months ago.
Johns says the court and bar of
Jackson are in terror over threats
on both sides of the Cockrell and
Hargis factions, that Judge Red
wine refused to act on the appli-
cation for change of venue be-
cause of fear of his own life and
the lives of others.
Two other attorneys were elect

but each refused to act for fear
of his life. Governor Beckham
has been appealed to and has the
matter under Amusement. Johns
says the county is bordering on
revolution and bloodshed is ex-
pected.

STEAM MEAT WAGONS
Chicago Packers Announce that Modern

CHICAGO, June THE packing
houses of Chicago are preparing
to introduce more modern meth

use the railway lines. During
the recent strike of the teamsters
the scheme, it is said, was thor

Once in effect. the packers will
require but one-fourth of the
present force of drivers.
So Anticipated is the use of
teams and drivers, the packers
say, that they placed each of

packers had not attempted seri-
ously to carry out tLeir plans.

GRATIFYING COMPARISONS

The progress which Indiana is max
ing in the economy of managing its
charitable and correctional institu-
tons may be noted in part by COM
pairing the statistics presented by the
bulletin issued by the board of state
charities at the close of fiscal years
considerably wide apart in point of
time. The number giving the Stats
tics of expenditure during the year
ending Oct 81, 1901, was published
last week, thus affording a comparison
of some items of cost and financial
statistics with those of the fiscal year
which ended Oct. 81, 1891. Take the
hospitals for the insane: The average
cost of maintenance per capita during
the year which ended Oct 81, 1891 was
$227.3S, while the same for the fiscal
year ending Oct. 81, 1901, was S173.S1
"a decrease in 10 years OF $53.51.
This marked decrease cannot be at
tributed to lower range of prices
during the year 1901 than prevailed 10
years earlier, since for many lines of
goods consumed by such institutions
the market prices were higher during
1901. If it had cost as much per cap
tia during the fiscal year which closed
last October to support the inmates
of the insane asylums as it did ten
years earlier the bills would have been
$193,010.57 more than they were. II
need not be observed that $193.01O.57
is a good lot of money to save in the
expenses of one series of institutions

CANNOT INTERFERE
President pOwerIess to Act In Anthracite
Miners Strike.

WASHINGTON, June AFTER a
conference with the members of
his cabinet yesterday President
Roosevelt decided there is no le--
gal ground for the interference
by him in the settlement of the
dispute between the coal opera
tors and striking miners. The
resolutions of the New York
Board of Trade and Transports
ton, requesting the president to
appoint commission to visit the
anthracite region and investigate
the situation, were discussed at
great length. but as the law of
1892, which conferred authority
on the president to appoint such
an officer, has been repealed, the
president has no desire to assume
the responsibility which the New
York Board of Trade suggested.
NEW YORK, June THE Board
of Trade and Transportation re-
ceived a telegram from President
Roosevelt yesterday apprising
them that he would be glad to
receive the committee appointed
by the board to ask the president
to appoint a commission to inves-
tigate and take steps looking to-
wards the settlement of the an
thracite coal miners strike. The
telegram, which was signed by
George B. Cortelyou, secretary
to the president, pointed out that
the law empowering the presi-
dent to act IN instances similar
to the anthracite miners strike
was repealed in 1898, but added
that the president would be glad
to see the committee if it was de-
cided to visit him. After con-
sidering the fact that the law had
been repealed the committee de-
cided not to visit the president.

NO POLITICS, SAYS HANNA
Ohio Senator Insists That Canal Problem
Is an Economic Plan.

WASHINGTON, June mo po-
litical considerations are involv-
ed in the isthmian canal prob
lem, said Senator Hanna of Ohio,
in continuing his address in fav-
or of the Panama canal, in the
senate yesterday.
The senator dwelt at length
on the many advantages he in
sisted the Panama route offers
over the Nicaragua route. and
pointed out in detail "the many
dangers and difficulties" of the
latter route.
He urged that the construction
of the Nicaragua canal was beset
with unknown difficulties, while
the construction of the Panama
canal was au ''open book"
He laid particular stress on
the danger to the Nicaragua
route from volcanoes, and urged
that it was not good business
policy to ignore these dangers in
a project involving an expendi-
ture of 5000, 600, 900.
Mr.. Hanna appealed to the
senate to consider the matter as
a business proposition. and with
some feeling repudiated the sug-
gestion that those favoring the
Panama route were not in favor
of any canal.
In conclusion, Mr.. Hanna pre-
scented the opinions of eighty
three shipmasters and pilots in
favor of the Panama route, for
many reasons, which they cited.

SOFT COAL MINERS STRIKE
Workers in the Virginias Will Aid the
Pennsylvania Men.

FAIRMONT, w. Va, June .
Nearly 10000 coal miners in the
two Virginias, known as District
No. II, will strike today. and in
a few days nearly 1000 more will
be added to the number.
The great coal strike in West
Virginia is now on in the fiat
Top Elkhorn, Tug River, and
Dingess fields. This evening
10, 900 miners, all members of
the United Mine Workers of
America, came from the mines
with pick on shoulder and declar-
ed their intention to remain out
until the operators make concess-
ions.
From Norfolk, Va, word comes
that all miners coming out of the
various mines are bringing their
tools withthem. Twenty thous-
and quit work last night. Bust
ness is at a standstill. Cases of
firearms are being received at he
company stores.
A telegram from Bramwell, w.
Va, says that during yerterday
afternoon from 1000 to 10000
miners quit work.

WHERE cHEAPNEss PREVAILS
Cheap Labor and Cheap Money Go
Hand in Hand in Mexico.

A recent visitor to Indianapolis was
G. G. Hiatt, of Detroit, mining en-
gineer who came here to confer with
local men who have large interests in
Mexico. The Indianapolis Sentinel
quotes Mr.. Hyatt as SAYING
"One thing that makes Mexico an
advantageous place for the investment
of capital is that all work can be done
so cheaply. For example, in mining,
persons can be hired for 80 or 90 cents
a day in Mexican money, which means
about So or 40 cents in gold. In the
camps of Colorado wages for the same
work range from 81 a day upward.
In all other industries the same differ
ence prevails.
The tobacco trust illustrated the OPP
portunity for making money. On a
capitalization of $1,70000O the trust
last year transacted business to
the amount of SS,40O,000 and paid a
dividend on its stock of SO per cent.
The greatest price it received for Gig
arettes, which is it's big product, was
5 cents for Is handmade cigarettes.
In it's factories 22S machines with a
capacity of 100000 cigarettes an hour
each were kept in constant operation.
The cigarettes come out of the ma
chimes faster than they can be count
ed, so perfect is the machinery"
All this is interesting for several
reasons; first, because of the fact that
cheap money and cheap labor are in
timately associated in Mexico. Again,
testimony is borne to the fact that
without the parentage of our protect
i've tariff, there are trusts in Mexico
more grasping than our own, one in
particular which, if tobacco products
were put on tariff for revenue basis,
could readily destroy an industroy
which is local to every Indiana COM
munity.

SITUATION IN PENNSYLVANIA
Guard Committees Appointed to Keep
Children Away From Mines.

WILKESBARRE, June 1.-The
shooting affray at the Stanton
colliery at South Wilkesbarre
last night, in which thirteen
year-old boy was seriously
wounded by coal and iron police
men, has stirred up this commu-
nifty more than any other hap
pening since the coal strike be-
gan, nearly four weeks ago. Al
though the region was quiet to-
day, there is an ugly feeling
among the thousands of idle men.
The strikers have the utmost
contempt for the deputies and
coal and iron police. and. trouble
can be started at the least prov
ocation. The condition of the
boy remains critical.
Sheriff Jacobs. of this county,
had particularly busy time last
night. He was called upon by
several Of the companies to pro-
tect property. Mep were sent to
some localities where trouble was
looked for, prepared to read the
riot act, but this was not done.
The coal operator hereabout
deplore last nights occurrence,
but they feel that the coal and
iron police cannot be held re-
sponsible for what may take
place. There have been many
attempts made at arson. Humid
reds CT yards of fencing sur
rounding collieries have been
burned by boys and young men.
The coal companies officials hold
the mine workers responsible for
all the disturbances. They argue
that if the miners wish to keep
the peace they should prevent
their sons from starting trouble.
The sheriff called on President
Mitchell today for the purpose
of enlisting the aid of the nation
al strike leader in preventing
further overt acts upon the part
of the idle men and boys. Mr..
Mitchell assured the sheriff that
he would do all in his power to
have the men keep the peace
and that the striking miners
would be asked to help guard
the company property from de-
struction. Ali the local unions,
at the request of President
Mitchell, today appointed guard
committees, whose duty it will
be during the period of strike to
prevent persons from destroying
property, and more especially to
keep children away from the
collieries.

the slow shutting tread of age, and sub
ordinate duties and pleasures to the
capricious whims of second childhood.
The difference in these two old men is
simply difference of health. The one
old man is hale and hearty, enjoys his
food, sleeps soundly, and keeps his grip
on public affairs. The other old man is
weak and feeble, his appetite and diges-
ton are poor, his sleep is unsound, he
has no interest in life or affairs save as
his personal comfort may be affected.
Healthy old age, whether in man or
woman, is largely a question of sound
stomach and pure, rich blood. To pre-
serve this condition nature generally
needs some assistance, in order to get
rid of the accumulations of waste, effete
and poisonous substances which tend
to clog the body and impede the circu-
lation. 1t is also needful to keep the
stomach and digestive and nutritive
tracts in healthy condition, in order to
properly .nourish the body.
HEALTH IN OLD AGE
can, therefore, best be enjoyed by the
coyery. This medicine cupes diseases of
the stomach and other organs of diges-

Strange Freak Of Insanity Caused by Re.

was yesterday declared insane.
Some months ago a preacher be-
gan holding meetings in the
neighborhood in which she lives
and Mrs. Burke became a con-

belief made her i'll and she has
been growing worse ever since.
She believes she has died three
times to save the world and each
time was resurrected. She
thinks that it is now time to die
again. She does not want to
commit suicide, but threatens to
kill others.
