THE IUNACY OF LOVE.
Bulwer Lytton's Letters to His Own
"AdOred Poodle"


To Miss Louise Dewey, the former
friend and the executrix of Lady Lyt-
ton had been confided packet of 29S
letters, representing the correspond
ence of Bulwer Lytton with Miss
Wheeler in the days Of their early
courtship. Miss Dewey published these
with a preface, stating that she took
this action in order to vindicate the
memory Of her dead friend. In what
manner the letters could be regarded
as vindication 1t is difficult to see,
though they serve as remarkable con-
tribution to the literature of epistolary
lovemaking. The extravagant absurdi-
ty of some of them is almost beyond
belief. and two passages may be quot
ed as illustrative of many others. In
the letters Bulwer Lytton addresses
Miss Wheeler as Poodle" and signs
himself Puppy" or "Puppo."

WON SUIT
T. H., |. & E. Will Have to
Pay Part of Cost of
Street Improvement.
STORY OF THE CASE.

New Castle, Ind, Mar. 2.--The pro-
perty owners of South Fourteenth
street have won the first skirmish in
their fight to compel the Terre Haute
Indianapolis & Eastern Traction com
pany to pay a share of the cost of paw
ing the street, on which the traction
company has tracks. When the as
eSsment roll was made for the i'm
provement the property owners were
made to bear all of it and brought suit
in the circuit court The original
franchise of the company provided
for a payment of share of paving all
several years after it was granted the
council, at the company'S request,
struck out this clause
The action saddled upon the prop
erty owners of the street a cost of
about $4,000 which they object to pay
ing and claim the council had no right
to amend the franchise in this man
ner. The hearing was before Judge
Jackson, who, after having the case
under consideration for several weeks
rendered a decision in favor of the
property owners. The suit was orig
inally filed against the city of New
Castle, the council, the council mem
bers individually and the Western
Construction company, but finally
summed down to an individual action
against the city.

Will Refuse to Interchange
Freight With c., c. &
L. Railroad.
CASE OF LOCAL INTEREST.

Muncie, Ind, March I'm addition
to orders given by Judge Joseph G..
Leffler on Friday afternoon, in which
the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago &
ST. Louis and the Lake Erie IL West
ern Railroad companies are restrained
from refusing to interchange traffic
with the Chicago, Cincinnati q Louis
VILE company in this city, the court
has also enjoined the two New York
Central lines from refusing to inter
switch with the C., c. & L., at any 9th
er Indiana points after a final hearing
of the injunction proceedings that was
instituted by the Indiana Railroad com
mission.
As counsel for the Railroad com
mission Attorney General James Bng
ham came to Muncie Friday and filed
5njunction proceedings against the c.,
C.. G. & st. L. and the l.. T.. s; w. COM
panes to restrain their contemplated
action to discontinue intercourse with
the c., {. & l.. in the city of Muncie.
Later the attorney general filed
second paragraph to each of the COM
plants, in which action was directed
against the respondent companies from
severing their connections with the c.,
G.. and l.. at other Indiana cities, par
ticularly Marion and Peru.
1t is charged that the Vanderbilt
Zines in these cities as well as Muncie,
will threaten to discontinue inter
switching with the c., c. & L.. and that
the Railroad commission did not re-
ceive information of this contemplated
action until Feb. 26, a date that was
too late for it to serve notice on the
railroads before the service would have
been cut off, thereby causing the ship
pers and the general public to suffer
Judge Leffler has designated March
10 as the date when he will hear argu-
ments for a temporary injunction.

REMONSTRANCE S|GNERS
GET PART OF STOCK
New Castle SaIoonist Sold His
Outfit.

New Castle, Ind, Mar. 2.-Another
saloon closed it's doors in this city
Saturday as the result of the blanket
emonstrance, which is pending a
hearing in the Rush circuit court. The
saloon which closed is the third in the
past two months on account of the lie
ense expiring. The license of Will
liam Pipher expired Saturday at II
o'clock, that night the doors were clos
ed, perhaps not to open again, unless
the court holds the blanket remon-
STRANGE illegal. In order to get rid of
his stock Pipher widely advertised a
''one day closing out sale, with all
goods at cost
The result was surprising. Whisky,
beer, rum, wines, etc, disappeared in
large quantities, the amount of liqu-
ors. etc, sold being over 500 quarts
Besides this half a car load of beer
was sold and a number of persons
who signed the remonstrance came in
and secured quantities of the wine at
cost price.

Shelbyville, Ind, March 2-Leap
year gives the young women an op-
portunity for giving many entertain
ments for the young men, but very
few Of them would have the courage
to go miles after their lovers, as did
one young woman who is considered
one of the prettiest and the most pop
ular in her social set.
The latest entertainment given by
the leap year girls was a dance at
which there were over 100 people
from this and the neighboring cities
present. Miss Lena Stine. who has
been keeping company" with Ira De
Weese of Greensburg, selected him
as her choice for the dance. In the
afternoon she went to Greensburg,
called at Mr.. DeWeese's home for
him; brought him to Shelbyville, a dis
tance of twenty-five miles, and they at
tended the dance together.

AN UNklNGLY KING.

The Lion Is . Low, Crafty Brute and
Good Deal of = Coward.
The king of beasts" declares a writ
er upon the lions Of Africa in the Met

nuisance. The stock owner loathes him
for the havoc he causes among the
herds. There is no security against
of lions may find a spot where game is
easily obtainable and make a consid-
erable stay thare, but their real home
is the whole weld.
If the lion slew only as much as he
could eat he would be less hateful, but
he will often kill four or five oxen and
content himself with devouring only
the entrails of one.
He is a low, crafty brute, one that
takes no risks, for, unlike the leopard,
he will never leap wall unless he can
see what is on the other side. A paper
fence would keep him away from =
herd of cattle. provided they did not
break out through terror of his growl-
ing and his smell.
other fiction. Not that he is incapable
OF making the most terrible, awe in
spring sound emitted by any living
thing, but because when he is roaring
he is harmless. 1t is the lion which
keeps quiet that is to be feared, for as
a rule the male and female work in
couples, AMI the one that makes the
noise is merely driving the game down
the wind to the silent partner.

drag a large bullock over rough ground
with the greatest ease; he can carry a

seven years experience in the lion

at least so far as his alleged nobility

His regal attributes lose some a
