THE PAY OF A POET.
Encouraging Circumstances Expe-
rienced by the Author of Cur
few Must Not Ring Tonight"

The editor of the Eagle, published in
Fremont, Ind, having discovered that
Mrs. Rose Hartwick Thorpe, author of
"Curfew Must Not Ring Tonight"
once lived where the Eagle office now
stands. asked her to write some Thing
about her life in Fremont. Her reply
shows the discouraging circumstances
under which literature is sometimes
produced. 1t also throws an informing
light on the price of poetry. Part of
it follows:
Those Fremont days were not the
happiest of my life, by any means, and
perhaps have been only too willing to
forget them. My young husband was
carriagemaker at that time, inexperi-
enced in many things, and l was very
homesick for my old home, my mother
and the companionship of friends from
whom l had never been separated be-
fore.
Then, too, my two babies were care
and prevented me from forming new
acquaintance. My memories of Ere
mont are mostly confined to four small
rooms at the back of the carriage shop
and cemetery which we were obliged
to pass on our way to andlfrom the sta
lion. Not very pleasant memory, you
will say.
At that time my "Curfew Must Nat
Ring Tonight" was finding its way into
every corner of the world (this was in
1S73-4-5, the poem was first published
in 1870 and newspaper people were
asking continuously for its author.

Rest Things Grow Furthest North.

The interesting fact has lately come
to the attention of the government
scientists that the frog (the edible va
riety) attains its greatest and best de-
velopment, not, as one would imagine,
in the semi-tropical swamps of Florida
and Louisiana, but in far northern
Canada, on the extreme northern limit
at which these reptiles are found. This
bears out an old and pretty safe rule
that both plants and animals attain
their best development at the north
ernmost point of their habitat. Thus
the diamond-back terrapin of the Ches-
apeake brings nearly eight times the
price of the diamond-back of Louisi-
ana, and the best oranges are grown,
not in tropical Cuba (people of the old
err generation still remember the
coarse grained, sourish Havana
Dranges), but in northern Florida,
where the trees are frequently cut
down by the hard frosts and cold
weather. Washington Post.

The peninsula of India is famous for
the excellence of its mica deposits. On
account of its delicacy mica quickly
suffers from the crushing effects of
earth movements, and the superiority
of the Indian deposits is ascribed to
the geologically long and perfect
quiescence that the great peninsula has
enjoyed. In the Nellore district crys-
tails, or "books," of muscovite-mica
have been obtained, measuring ten feet
across the basal planes. Usually they
are much smaller, and even in India the
stability of the earth has not been suf-
ficiently continuous to prevent the de-
struction of large quantities of this
delicate and valuable mineral.-Sci'

NEXT YEAR MAY BE Dull
BUILDING OPERATIONS MAY BE
GENERALLY SUSPENDED.
Large Corporations Anxious for the
Labor situation to Settle Before
Investing More Money.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Sept. 5.-The Post to-
morrow will say: According to well-ma-
tured plans, not only of the great railroad
corporations of the country, but Of the
larger investors of capital in building OPP
erations, there is likely to be a general
cessation of building operations during 1904,
which will make that year memorable to
the trades interested. The statement. OF
one of the largest contracting concern. in
the country connected with railroad con-
struction work is the basis for the asser-
ton that at least $50, 900, coo worth of build
ing operations proposed for 1904 have ac-
tually been called off, and plans have been
recalled from architects and engineers.
1t is also said by the same authority, so
far as known, there will be nothing in the
shape of new work undertaken the coming
year and when the present contracts are
completed a period of waiting will ensue.
situation to settle down, and the end of
the factional wars and strikes that have
almost destroyed confidence in building.
1.-The same informant says that the Penn
s~ylvania Railroad, which now has $4,000
600 worth of improvements under way and
in contemplation during 1904, has decided to
withdraw all of these plans and do nothing
further with them until there is a more
placid condition of the labor market.
Information given out shows that in New
York alone there is at least So, 000,0 900 of
new building for 1904 involved in the gen
eral plan of withdrawal. In Chicago where
labor troubles have been continuous for
months it is said that more than $40, 600, 900
of new work has been abandoned"

FEATURES OF OPENING OF KEN
lucky DEMOCRACY's CAMPAIGN.
Mixture That Pleased About 1000 Per-
sOns-Speeches by Governor Beck

WINCHESTER, KY, Sept. 5.-A crowd
from seven to ten thousand was
present at the opening of the Democratic
State campaign here to-day. Speeches
were made by Gov. Beckham, Senators Nc
Creary and Blackburn and Congressman Oh
lie James. Several brass bands discoursed
music and thousands of gallons of bur
goo" were dispensed. Attorney Robert
Franklin, of Frankfort, fresh from the trial
of the Goebel murder cases. attracted much
attention.
Governor Beckham said in part: 81 in

sive, not a defensive one, that the people
shall be thoroughly acquainted with the
issues involved, and that in the full light
of public view the Democratic party, will

ly, must stand upon their respective records.
and let the people judge between them.
This is the policy which we seek, which we
demand. and We intend to drag our reluc-
tant adversaries from the dark recesses
of a 'gum-shoe campaign and make them
fight us. if they will, in the open light of
day. While they seem to have determined
upon q quiet and secret campaign. reIyink
upon the power of a big corruption fund
and hoping that the Democrats may be
IuIled INTO a sense OF oVerconfidence, We
are determined to compel them to stand
up and assume entire responsibility for the
evil record they have made in this State.
"Tha the Democratic officials have done
everything in their power to put an end
to the troubles in Breathitt county no one
disputes. They were purely local, and
not half so serious as the feudal outbreak
in Clay county during the last administra-
ton. If the Republicans had shown the
same desire to punish the assassins of Will
liam Goebel that the Democrats did to pun
ish Marcum's assassins, both crimes would
now be avenged"

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind, Sept. 5.-On
Monday, for the first time on any legal
holiday. the stars and stripes will float from

NO REQUEST FOR MARINES.
Minister shin Evidently Does Not
Regard Situation as Serious.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Sit is evident
thu the United States government does not
share any apprehension that may be felt
in some quarters that there is danger for
the legations in Constantinople. The Ber-
lin dispatch regarding the action of the
Turkish government in notifying the for
eign representatives is taken to be the an
nouncement first made TO the ministers by
the Porte and which, as indicated in the
dispatch of Minister Leishman, meant that
the interior or personnel of the legations
could not be protected from those who
might gain entrance and commit some out
rage. Minister Leishman has not asked for
marines nor has he given any indication
that they will be needed.
The matter OF sending either the Brook
lyn or San Francisco TO a point nearer
the Dardanelles has not been considered and
the fact that Minister Leishman has made
no suggestion Is taken to mean that he does
not think such action necessary at pres
arrival at Beirut. he has not sent any COM
munication as to the conditions existing
there and the further movement of the
squadron depends entirely upon the reports
which Minister Leishman and Admiral Cot
ton max TO their respective departments.
Ii is known here that Russia and Aus
tria are two of the countries that have
landed marines TO guard their legations at
-Constantinople. Other countries nave sta
toned ships there and il is possible that
they have also sent additional guards to
the legations.

". R. SHIEL ASSAULTED
ATTACKED BY YOUNG AND
TERRIBLY BEATEN.
He Ordered Traspasscrs on His Farm,
and They Attacked Him-His =
Condition Serious.

William r. shiel. a stock dealer and a
brother of r. r. Shiel, of 1927 North Merid-
ian street. was brutality assaulted along
the tracks of the vandalia railroad just
west of Eagle creek at about Q o'clock last
night by a young man who has so far
eluded arrest, although his identity is
known to the police.
Mr.. Shiel owns a farm that borders On
the hanks of Eagle creek and when he went
to his home from the city last night he
found a number of young roughs chasing
over his land while another crowd was fish
ing the stream that flows through his prop
erty. He ordered the young men off but
they met his order by abuse. One word
led to another until several of the young
fellows became bold and commenced an
assault on the owner of the farm. The
young man who is badly wanted at the
present time by the police struck MIR. Shiel
in the head with some blunt instrument
and knocked him to the ground after which
he jumped on to the PROSTATE form OF his
victim and proceeded to beat him with his
fists. Had it not been for the timely ar
rival of one of Mr.. Shells neighbors, who
dragged the burly young man from the al
most unconscious figure, the assault might
have ended disastrously.
After the assault was committed the
crowd of young men made their escape,
and when the police arrived they We're all
some distance away from the scene OF their
brutality. Mr.. Shiel was picked up In an
unconscious condition and carried into his
house. DR.. Converse was summoned, and
it was some time before he brought the in
jured man back to consciousness. He SAID
last night that Mr.. Shiel is in a very seri-
Gus condition from the effects of his beat
ing, and fears that internal injuries might
have been sustained.
All the police in the city were last night
instructed TO be or the lookout for the
young man who made the assault and his
companions, aud, If caught, they Will be
arrested on a charge of assault and battery
with intent to kill.

HIGH OFFICIALS OPPOSE WAR.
Military Element and Many MussuI-
mans, However, Are Uneasy.

CONSTANTINOPLE. Sept. 5.-Although
in high Turkish official circles the tendency
is decidedly against war, the unrest among
the military element and in certain sections
of the Mussulman civil population has
markedly increased during the last few
days. Considerable significance is attached
to the Sultan's gift of wooden coats to the
troops and the appeal to the public for
similar contributions. The local papers are
further infiaming the Mussulmans by pub
fishing highly colored accounts of attacks
on Mussulmans by Bulgarian brigand
hands,
The opinion of foreign diplomats here is
divided regarding the issue. Great impor-
lance is attached to the coming meeting
between the Car and Emperor Francis
Joseph, which is expected to be followed
by decisive steps in the direction OF guar
anteeing the M~acedonians radical reforms.
Minister Leishman has received a tele-
gram from United States Consul avndal
at Beirut, saying that the authorities at
that place apparently have not yet secured
the mar who fired at Vice Consul Magels-
sen and adding that the arrest among
others, of a fifteen-year-old boy. seems to
indicate that they do not realize the gravity
of the situation. Mr.. Ravndal also refers
to the general state of insecurity at Beirut
and suggests that the assailant of Vice
Consul Magelssen was the same individual
who attacked Mr.. Magelssen one night
about a year ago with the object of robbing
him The man was imprisoned and re-
Gently was liberated.
