the education of girls and who lament that there
Is place made for this study in the present

HARDER BROUGHT HERE.


Tells Of His Almost Miraculous Escape
from Death.
Joseph C. Harder, a collection agent of
this city, who was injured in the Vandalia
wreck near Terre Haute on April 49, was
transferred yesterday from st. Anthony's
Hospital. in Terre Haute, to the Protestant
Deaconesses' Hospital. of this city. Mr.
Harder's home is in Indianapolis. at so
Bradshaw street, and he was brought to the
city in order to relieve the fears Of his
family and friends. who believed him to be
much more severely hurt than he was. Mrs.
Harder is confined to her home still suf-
fering from an attack of. nervous prostra-
ton as a result of the news of her nus
bands injury.
The first report of Mr.. Harder's injuries
was exaggerated somewhat, as the internal
injuries were said to be fatal. His left
leg was broken In three places, the right ear
partially torn from the head and more than
one hundred scratches and abrasons of the
skin of his body. His leg has been set in a
plaster mold aid his ear has healed, while
the other injured parts of his body have
nearly healed. Mr.. Harder will be confined
to the hospital for at least six weeks, but
will fully recover and his broken leg will not
disable him.
Mr. Harder, in describing the manner of
his injury, said he was sitting in the first
coach back of the engine, a combination
day coach and buffet car. when the col
lision occurred. He was seated with his
brother-in-law, Nicholas A. Lutz, of this
city. the baggagemaster of the train, who
was instantly killed. Mr. Harder was bur-
led beneath the debris of the wreck. and
when he was taken out by the rescuing
party was unconscious and thought to be
suffering from internal injuries that would
result fatally. He says he can now claim
to be one of the luckiest men in the city.
as his escape fl ON instant death was little
short OF miraculous.

Contracts Are Late and the Chicago
Market Holds Steady.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, May S.-The Black Dia-
mond, reviewing the Western coal market.
this week, will say
Except for the continued pronounced &C.
tivity in anthracite, the coal market is
very quiet and comparatively dull. Prices on
bituminous have not sagged TO an import
ant extent, although occasionally some low
er figures may be noted on spot coal that is
drawing car charges. but the demand Is not
active. This is largely due TO the advent of
summer conditions which have resulted in
a quiet consuming demand and have. Of
course. influenced the movement of coal TO
the consuming trade. Operating interests
continue to take firm view of the situation
and are not making any sacrifices 10 move
their tonnage. They prefer that their mines
should remain idle or that coal should
move into storage rather than il be sold at
figures which are lower than the contract
basis
Movement of Eastern Goals to the West
is largely confined to the great lakes. Yes
sells are in fair supply at Ohio and Penn
sylvania loading ports and freight rates are
fairly equitable, causes which contribute to
a much heavier movement than a year ago.
This movement is further accelerated by
the fact that northwestern docks were bare
at the commencement of the season and the
docks interests prefer that there shall be an
oversupply for next winters use rather
than an under supply. To create normal
stock at principal lake ports. IL will be nee
essary that all previous records in the
movement OF bituminous coal shall be brok-
en-, and this Is what the operating interests
are attempting to do.
I'm the Chicago spot market the prices are
fairly steady. Occasionally IL is noted that
Pittsburg Goals sold on the spot at from
10 to 25 cents below the established price.
but in such instances the lower figures are
named by the smaller interests who have
no dock capacity and who must ship their
tonnage all-rail. Such operators. OF course.
look to Chicago and the West as a market
and are inclined to reduce their prices in an
effort to force the movement. However.

that it should have been reached in such a
comparatively short period. To quote from
a preface to the catalogue of pictures ex-

In the beginning was the wilderness, and
the wilderness was but a little while ago,
and now what was once the wilderness is

it's stead teeming population and litera-

we prove We have an art as well.
The demonstration has been made, and
Indianians have reason to be proud of it.
If our native artists should make as rapid
progress in the future as they have in the
past, another exhibit of their works will
be in order before long, when it is to be
hoped public appreciation will be even
more pronounced.

NOT AVERSE TO COMING BACK.
Thad NJ. TalcOtt, of South Bend, on
Legislative Experiences.

Thad NJ. Talcott, of South Bend. who was
one of the representatives from st. Joseph
county in the House during the recent ses-
sion of the Legislature, was yesterday a
guest at the English. Mr.. Talcott was
averse to discussing politics last evening.
He said he has been trying for two months
to forget that subject and get back into
the practice of law. However. when the
question of seeking reelection to the Legis-
lature was preached, he admitted that he
would probably be a candidate next year,
and that he might seek promotion and try
for the seat in the upper branch OF the
General Assembly made vacant by the
death of Senator Albert M. Burns. of South
Bend.
Some of my friends have been talking
Senate to me-" he said, but while / must
admit that 1 listened with interest 1 am
not sure that / would not prefer another
bash, said last winter that he considered
the House the most desirable branch; that
he had begun in the Senate and had been
promoted to the House. / believe that a
man has more opportunities to do good
work in the House. but. of course, there is
considerable more distinction in being a
senator"
Mr. Talcott introduced a bill late in the
session last winter that threatened at one
time to precipitate bitter fight. 1t was
the measure amending the charter of the
city of South Bend so that the appointing
of the police board should be vested in the
Governor instead Of the mayor. There was
a considerable sentiment in South Bend
back of the bill, but there was opposition.
too, of such a character that after due
consideration the friends of the measure
decided to drop it and 1T was allowed to die
a peaceful death in committee. Mr.. Tai
colt says that there has been no discus
sion of the question In South Bend since
it was dropped during the Legislature.

pany. In the actions which the attorney
general has caused to be brought against

rates. the meat-packing companies and the
Northern Securities Company ii has been
demonstrated that there is now sufficient
law to suppress all monopolistic combina-
tions Indeed. the organs of Wall street
declare that there is too much law.
Such being the situation. it must be seen
that the trusts cannot be made a prominent
issue in 1904. OF course. it will be tried. but
1t will fail. II an Eastern Democrat like
Mr.. Cleveland. Judge Parker or Mr.. Olney
should be nominated the trust plank will be
placed alongside of the declaration against
sumptuary laws or the declaration in favor
of nonsectarian public school. For. what
ever else the leaders of the Cleveland and
Eastern Democracy may be. they are not
men who would make indiscriminate war
upon corporations or combinations of cor
porations. If the attempt should be made to
push the trust to the front issue no
intelligent man could be deceived, since 1t
is now known, and will be better known
a year hence, that the Sherman antitrust
law is ample for the restraining of would-be
lawless combinations. In 1900 and in 1902 1t
was discovered that the party which tried
to make hostility to our policy with the
Philippines an issue would fail. He is a
dull politician who has not discovered that
there is political capital in slandering
American soldiers or in declaring that the
people of the United States cannot govern
outside lands to their advantage. Under
these conditions a tariff for revenue only
seems to be the one issue left to Democracy.
Naturally IT does not excite unbounded en-
thusiasm with the party generally.
