MIR. CLEVELAND WILL
NOT BE A CANDIDATE.
Thanks Editor of the Eagle for His
Friendly Advocacy, but Declines
Absolutely to Accept Nomination.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-Grover Cleveland
has sent the following letter to st. Clair
McKelway, editor of the Brooklyn Daily
Eagle, under date of Princeton. Nov. 25:
Il have wanted for a long time to say
something which l think should be said to
you before others.
You can never know how grateful / am
for the manifestation Of kindly feeling to-
ward me on the part of my countrymen
which your initiative has brought about.
Your advocacy In the Eagle of my nomina-
ton for the presidency came to me as a
great surprise; and it has been seconded in
such a manner by Democratic sentiment
that conflicting thoughts of gratitude and
duty have caused me to hesitate as to the
time and manner OF a declaration on my
part concerning the subject-if such de-
claration should seem necessary or proper.
In the midst of 1t all and in full view or
every consideration presented / have not
for moment been able, nor am 1 now able
to open my mind to the thought that in any
circumstances or upon any consideration
/ should ever again become the nominee OF
my party for the presidency.
My determination not TO do so Is unalter-
able and conclusive. This you at least
ought TO know from me and i should be
glad IL the Eagle were made the medium
of its conveyance to the public
The Brooklyn Eagle announced to-day
that the support 1t had given Mr. Cleveiand
for the Democratic presidential nomination
would now be given to Alton b. Parker, at
present chief judge of the Court Of Appeals
of this State.

FORMER PREACHER WILL RE RE-
TURNED TO THE STATE PRISON.
He Was Allowed to Visit His Sick
Mother in Danville-Statement
from Governors Office.

Dispatches from Laporte to Chicago and
Indiana papers yesterday stated that the
Rev. William E. Hinshaw. after serving
eight years of life sentence for the MUIR
der of his wife. mad been released from the
State Prison at Michigan City and had re-
turned to his former home at Danville.
where his boyhood was spent, and where
he received his education and married the
woman of whose death he was accused.
The further statement was made that Hin
shaw had been liberated by a pardon
granted by the State Board of Pardons
and approved by the Governor.
At the Governors Office yesterday it was
stated that Hinshaw had merely been re-
leased on parole in order that he might
go to the bedside of his aged mother. who
is said to be lying at the point of death.
His release will be but for a few davs.
and then he will be returned to the prison
at Michigan City. Hinshaw has not been
pardoned, 1t was stated, nor released on
indefinite parole

all the saloons along the 'levee."
The mind book system is said to be
beyond the reach of the strong arm of the

bets, gives no tickets to his customers and
trusts solely to his memory. The player
tells Ramsey that he wishes to bet a certain
amount on a certain horse at a certain
track, and indicates whether he wants TO
place the money at the opening or closing
odds. Ramsey records the bet mentally.
The next morning the sporting papers give
the winner of all races, and many of them

men-Harrington Tells a Diff

While hunting birds with young COM
panion yesterday afternoon, Albert Mich
olas, a twelve-year-old boy living at 234
East Morris street. was shot in the abb
domen with a flobert rifle bullet and prob
ably fatally injured. Early yesterday aft
ernoon, with mis- younger brother and Mar
shall Harrington, who lives but few
doors from the home of the Nicholas fami-
ly. he went into an alley in the rear Of
their homes to shoot birds with rifle be-
longing to the Harrington lad, who is three
years older than young Nicholas. Har-
rington, being the owner of the weapon,
did the shooting, and the two Nicholas boys
accompanied him to pick up whatever game
he might kill. Albert Nicholas persisted
in running in front of the gun and Har-
rington warned him several times to be
careful. adding that he might be shot IL he
did not heed the advice. They continued
their hunting until they had exhausted all
their ammunition except one cartridge,
which was in the gun. sparrow hap
pened to alight in the alley and Harring-
ton leveled the gun to fire. warning young
Nicholas at the same time to stay out of
the way or he would likely be shot. Mich
olas, in spite of the advice, ran in front
of the gun, in his desire to get the bird.
Harrington called to him and Nicholas
turned just in time to receive the bullet in
his abdomen. He was carried to his home
and Drs. G.. o. Durham and Stanfield
Keeney were called. After a brief exami-
nation they found that the intestines had
been penetrated by the leaden ball, and
the shock suffered by the boy made his
case a desperate one.
BARE FIGHTING CHANCE.
Early this morning DR.. Keeney said that
while the boy had fighting chance for his
life little hope could be held out for his re-
covery. His parents do not desire the doc
tors to perform an operation unless it il
necessary and the doctors do not feel that
an operation would at the present time aid
the boys case in the least.
Bicyclemen Askins and Duncan were sent
out on the case as soon as 1t was reported
to the police and they arrested young Har-
rington on a charge of shooting with intent
to commit murder. 1t was reported at the
time of the shooting that Harrington told
young Nicholas that he intended to shoot
him and suggested that IL he shut his eyes
he would not be hurt so much. Young Har-
rington was deeply grieved over the unfor-
tunate affair and said there was not a word
of truth In the story that he Intentionally
shot his friend. I'VE had no quarrel" he
said as the tears streamed down his cheeks
land ii was all accidental. The police are
inclined to believe the story told by Har-
rington as the younger brother of Nicholas
was so excited that he could scarcely tell
how IL happened and related several differ
ent stories of the accident. The parents OF
Nicholas feel that their sons injury was
due to carelessness, but they do not believe
he did II Intentionally.

Remarkable Discovery on Disinter-
ring 1t from New York Cemetery.
HANNIBAL. n. Y, Nov. N.-Two bodies
which have recently been disinterred for re-
moval from the cemetery here have been
found to be petrified. The last body ex-
humed was that of Mrs. Rose Van Horn,
who died in 1896 When the sexton opened
the grave he found that the coffin had
fallen to pieces, but the wornan's body was
perfectly preserved, and the wide-open eyes
added to Its life-1fke appearance.
The doctor who issued the permit to open
the grave declared it a remarkable case of
petrifaction.
1.-THE preservation was just nearly per-
feet as 1t was possible for 1t to be- he said.
Every vein noticeable In life could be seen.
The finger nails were perfect. The most
peculiar feature was the eyes. They looked
precisely like those of living person.
1.-The body was of about the hardness of
chalk, but a few years more would have
made Il as hard as flint. / presume the
petrifaction is due to some peculiar quality
of the soil.'

Despite efforts of the city administration
and the police department to show that
public gambling has been stopped in In
dianapolis it is generally known among the
sporting fraternity that many big games
are running without any real interference
from the authorities. The gamblers them
selves laugh at the "raids" recently made
by the police.
The police have claimed that they could
do nothing with the game at the Lorraine
Hotel because they could not discover the
number of the room in which it is going
on. With little or no effort it was learned
last evening that poker game of the
dollar limit class has been run almost
constantly for the last two or three weeks
In Room 800, at the Lorraine. Part of the
time two games have been going in this
room. it is understood. and the patronage
has been unusually good.

is said, because of elaborate precautions
taken to guard against such catastrophe.
"A good. stiff game is going out at the
stockyards." was the tip passed around
town last evening. A man who came to
Indianapolis from Rushville about three
weeks ago is said TO be running this game
and it is understood that he has been doing
business ever since he arrived in the city.

fed and unconcerned over the recent raid
on his place. is dealing faro every after

emily unterrified by the raids that have
been made on his places. as his games are
still running. There is said to be good and
sufficient reason for Heier's composure un-
der seemingly trying circumstances, for a

South New Jersey street basement a crowd
of forty or fifty men and boys poured from

pearance of having worn silk stocking
and French-heeled shoe. The foot is about
a No. In size, with very tapering in
step. The amputation was ciumsily done
and not the work of a surgeon. There is
no surgical institute here and none of the
Kokomo doctors has knowledge of the

The officers do not think the murder
theory is plausible, yet cannot account for
the situation. No woman of this locality
is missing. The officers are continuing the
investigation.

TALL WOMEN ARE SCARCE.
Singular Rev elatiOns Drought Out By
an Advertisement for Young
Women Six Feet High.

The Professional Woman's league.
of New York city, brought out some
curious facts regarding the physical
proportions OF women. The league
advertised for 50 young women six feet
tall to act as policemen" at the wom-
ans exhibition in Madison Square gar
den last October Most of the women
who applied fell fully six inches below
the required standard, and not single
one has SO far qualified. One applicant
stood six feet high, but she was built
so much like a tape measure that the
secretary declined to furnish her with
mace. Another came forward with
the argument that. while she was only
five feet tall, her lateral proportions
were vast enough to make her an OBJ
1ect of terror to wrongdoers at the ex-
hibition. OF the other applicants the
secretary said: ''Most of them are thin
as shad and shaped like hop-poles-
awkward, ungainly, sour-faeed. It
does not seem to agree with most wom-
en- to be six feet tall. They get weedy
and are nervous from being stared at
so much" Have you any idea what a
slX-foot woman looks like? Well. she
Is as tall, relatively, as seven-foot
man. Give her pair Of high -heeled
boots and a picture hat and she can
get job in any dime museum.

CHINESE GIRLS STRATEGY.
" DeceivinE Her Lovers She Kent
Large Army Constantly at
Her Call.

The recurrence of disturbances in
southern China, reported in the tel
egraph dispatches, make interesting
some details of the personality OF
Lao kuan Yin, the beautiful wom-
an Boxer, who. during the first trou-
bles, acted as sort of Chinese Joan
OF Arc. She rallied to her standard
a large number of well-known des-
peradoes, until her followers num-
bered something like 10000 fighting
men, reports the Detroit Free Press.
She held the chiefs of these forces
faithful to her by making love to
them and permitting them, as many
as six at time, each to fancy that
ne was the chosen one. Soon, how
ever. her duplicity was revealed, and
when she showed special favor to the
youngest and handsomest of the six,
the five others, driven mad by jeal-
ously, passed their swords into the
favored ones body. The rivals then
began to fight among themselves,
with the result that three of them
We're killed. Next morning one of
the remaining chiefs, being old and
hldeous to look upon, packed up his
goods and chattels and departed. He
took away with him nearly all the
troops, and practically the whole of
the ammunition. Lao Kuan Yin now
found herself with one lover and
very few followers, and when the
government troops appeared on the
scene went into hiding.
She is now again in power, and has
more troops at her disposal, but she
has learned wisdom, and contents
herself with one lover.
