Sheltou, a well known j minister in Little lioek, Arkansas, in a recent sermon made use ot the fol lowing language: "Laboring men will remember that duiing tbe strike j in ISSS I predicted from the pulpit j tho present turn in the warfare for! the recognition of the rights of the I individual. Again, in 1800, I proph- j csied every movement that has taken i place since and all that will he, in a general way, until 1900. The pres- j ent movement is a fermentation of j conflicting thoughts. Look out for hell and fury in the next six months, with mure to follow until 1899. The women of New York have re cently awakened to the idea that they ought to have tbe right of suffrage, and in that opinion are backed by a large number of influential men. They make their appeal for tho light on the ground that large numbers of them pay taxes and should therefore be entitled to have a voice in the selection of public officers. The de maud is a reasonable one and though it is hardly probable that this effort in New York will be successful, there will be such a demonstration of pub lic sentiment in its behalf as to leave no doubt that eventually the demand will be complied with. The senate on Friday came veiy near treating the country to a genu ine sens:.;ion. In accepting the chal lenge of the Republicans to put the tariff hill to the test of a vote, in order that tin- measure might be at once referred to a committee of conference of tho two houses, the Democrats rose to a true appreciation of tho de mands of the people of the country for immediate action on this long do laved subject. The inglorious back down of Senator Aldrich ami a num ber of his party associates, however, afforded fresh evidence of the iu- Bincerity of the Republicans in their profession of a willingness to dispose of the question before tho senato. —l'hUa.

Coxe would make ono of tho strongest can didates the Democracy could produce.

The Democratic county committee at their meeting on Saturday made a most excellent choice for chairman in the person of J. itidgway Wright. Tbe new leader of tlio county Demo cracy is no stranger to tho rank ami file of tbe party. Ho led the Demo cratic hosts to victory in a forme: campaign, and with proper suppor and co-operation, he can land tin party nominees, this fall, winners. Air. Wright is a man of magnetic in fluence, considerable executive ability, and popular with the masses as well as the classes. He is an ideal Demo cratic leader, and if the party cannot win under ldm, then there must be something wrong with tbe party, not with the leader.— Ntv •On tier.

Nadly Mixed. The recent death of Mrs. Mary Ann Adams at North Manchester recalls to the Indianapolis Journal an interest- | ing. romance. Uer first husband was Ernsperger, and slic had three chll j dren, two girls and a boy. Henry J. ' Adams and wife were neighbors of the Ernspcrgers, and their children were the same in number, but two of them were boys. They resided in Darke county, 0., at the time. By mutual agreement the two husbands traded wives, the women being very well ( I pleased to do so. The children were P 1 equally divided, the fathers choosing i the sons and the mothers the daugh -3 tors. In 1847 Adams moved to this county, and later to Miami county. A , few years later the Ernspergcr family moved to Fulton county. Being near neighbors, the two families still re tained friendly relations as long as j they lived. After the death of the sec ond Mrs. Ernsperger, who had been .Mrs. Adams, Miss Ernsperger, then a young lady living with her mother, went hack and kept house for her fa ther. While there she took typhoid f fever. Her mother, Mrs. Adams, who 1 had been the first Mrs. Ernspergcr, went to Ernsperger's and nursed her daughter until she died. Mrs. Adams i was the mother of four children by her second husband, Henry Adams. Sev eral members of the peculiarly made up family still reside in Wabash county. A Novel Sower Project. Philadelphia is going to give the world an excellent object lesson in sewer building. They are building a large sewer on piles, and if they suc ceed in their undertaking, which is to cost one and a half million dollars, they will have done a great deal toward solving a very difficult problem. This new sewer runs along the bed of the Aramingo canal, which is too soft to hold the great weight. To get over this difficulty piles of yellow pine twelve inches square are to be driven down to rock bottom about three feet apart. At the top of them a heavy plank floor will be placed, and on this a nine-foot sewer will be built. The undertaking has been discussed by engineers throughout the state, and opinions differ very much as to the result of the undertaking, which in several features appears to be daring in the extreme. In this age of en gineering advancement it is absurd to say that anything is impossible, and the men in charge of this singular work are likely to be able to convince the world that after all there is some thing new under the sun. THE inquisitiveness of a boy in Al lentown the other day resulted in the finding of six hundred dollars and will cause a lawsuit. The personal estate of a rich old bachelor, who died a short time ago, was sold at auction. Among the goods disposed of was an old safe, which was knocked down for three dollars and a half. The safe had been used by the owner, but after his death it was opened by his relatives, and everything of value was taken out, as they supposed. Before the purchas ers had an opportunity to take it away, however, a small boy worked the com bination and opened the door. While examining the interior he pulled out a private drawer and out rolled a pile of gold pieces. When counted they were found to amount to nearly six hundred | dollars. The money was taken in | charge by relatives under the protests of the new owners, who threaten to I bring suit for the gold. J THE business engrossing the atten tion of Haskell county (Texas) solans is counting scalps. At the last sitting of the commissioners' court something over fifty-one thousand scalps were counted. In February they counted twenty-three thousand; so in the last sixty days—or in February and March— I hunters have destroyed about seventy -1 five thousand prairie dogs, costing the I I county treasury something over three thousand dollars. i- As BUOWINQ the thorough systemati -1 zation of stove manufacturers it is as ) serted that a resident of Sharon, Pa., r ordered a stove at n foundry there, t The pig iron was melted and cast, the 0 frame put together, polished, set up in . the purchaser's house, and a fire start - ed in it in less than three hours from , the time he gave the order.

[Copyright, 1894, by Mary Springer.] EII A I) encamped at the foot of the Ch i mbo razo, that huge snow-topped -yj) mountain I' conceals j£zearly history of ||. Ecuador. ' ' 11/ l 1 had arrived '/£ """—" dlf there just as ' twilight was 1 casting its shadows over the arid skirts of Colossus, while its white crest stood iboldly out against the sky. I was filled with admiration at the magnificent view, and as soon as 1 dis mounted I hastened to climb to tho top of a hill in order to enjoy that marvelous work of creation. The humble inn, which was called the Tambo do Chuguipogio, was to shel ter us that night, and I and my com panions intended to remain there until daybreak in order to escape the high winds which prevail in that region and are so trying to travelers. That vast solitude has an indescriba ble charm, and appeals strongly to the imagination, while the picture one bo holds never can fade from one's mem ory, it is so beautiful. The Andes aro seen on every side in all their impos ing majesty, with their snowy crests, volcanoes casting forth lire and thick volumes of smoke, and hillsides where many generations of natives sleep in their hidden tombs. Many traditions abound about the treasures concealed in the bosom of the earth, and at the foot of the mountain are the Indians' humble huts, in which tlie natives dream of their lost liberties. I could hear the roaring of the vol cano, Sangay, where I was standing, and felt my own insignificance as a mite of creation in the midst of all that grandeur, for what is a human being compared with the grand crea tion of the Almighty? What is glory, which the greater part of the human race so auxiously longs for, but an ephemeral shadow compared with the wonders of the earth—the colossal mountains which look down disdain fully on man as a mere pygmy, who can only gaze on their heights from afar? There have been two exceptions, however, Uolivnr and Humboldt, who ventured to ascend its steep sides, and to win immortal fame by this achieve ment. I was engaged in these reflections when an agonizing cry broke on my car I rapidly descended the hill and joined Maj. Montenegro, who was ac companying me, together with several other gentlemen, and wo all hastened to the inn to find out what had oc curred. It was a terrible sight which met our eyes. Stretched on the floor of the room in which the guests usually con gregate was a young, beautiful Indian woman, the blood oozing from a deep wound in her side, while the knife that had done the deed was close by. She had arrived that same afternoon, ac companied by a middle-aged man, also an Indian, but who had evidently run off to escape the consequences of his crime. The victim was still breathing. She was carefully lifted from the floor and placed on a pallet. Every traveler is provided with blankets and mattresses, which he carries on a mule, and thus can easily make up a bed wherever he may bo. One of the soldiers of our convoy rushed off to the nearest village after a doctor, although wo thought it would be no use, for the poor woman was in her death throes. We were greatly impressed; and after bandaging the wound endeavored to restore the dying woman to conscious ness by giving her some brandy. Suddenly she trembled and tried to raise herself, while she fixed on us her beautiful black eyes, already glazed by death. We gathered around the un happy woman, and, as I was quite near m WHII.E THE KNIFE THAT HAD DONE THE DEED WAS CLOSE UY. to her, she clasped my hand convul sively, while she murmured a few words in a low tone. Her gaze wan dered around the room and stopped at the door, while a startled expre sion overspread her face. I turned to see what had alarmed her, and there stood the assassin. It was he, without doubt, for his victim's look denounced him. The man's face did not look cruel nor bad, nor did it express any fear; but a deep melancholy and desperate resolve seemed stamped on his countenance. Slowly, as though drawn by thoso eyes, now glazed and dim with ap proaching death, he came forward, without apparently noticing any of those standing around the bed, and kneeling down he took lier hand, which feebly tried to repulse him, and ex claimed in an agonized tone: "Itosariol Rosariol forgive roc. I was beside myselfl" The dying one fixed an indescribable A?ok on the ludian, in which were i blended love, compassion and fear, and, loosening- her hold on my hand, she Bank back with a groan. ! ltosario, you will not die without pardoning- me!" he cried, and as he spoke ho aroso and threw his arms i around her neck. Hut she made no response, and her j C3*es were fixed and glassy. She was j de ad. Just then my attention was attracted by the sounds of horses' hoofs, and a short time after I saw four men enter the room, the doctor from Mocha, the ! village magistrate and two policemen. Me looked at the murderer, but he I made no attempt to escape* 11c sceineil overwhelmed with grief. | and still clasped the hand of the dea 1 1 woman in both of his, his h ad half J hidden in the bedclothes, while he ap peared indifferent to all that was going on around him. As the doctor drew near the bed, not knowing who he was, he said: *'Get up, my good man, for I want to , examine this young woman to see 1 whether she is still alive. Hut alas, '■ she is dead!" he added, as he looked at j her more closely. "Oh! sir, perhaps she is still alive, for j it is not possible that she has died with out pardoning me." So saying, the assassin withdrew to 5 a corner of the room, and waited to hear what the physician would say. The blow had been dealt hy a skillful hand, and death had quickly ensued. When the assassin saw that she was really dead, he turned- deathly pale, and fell on his knees by the side of tin pallet where the dead woman was ly ing, and began to sob bitterly. "Who is this man?" the magistrate then inquired. Wo all kept silent, for wo felt averse to denounce him, as his grief was so in tense. Iut he raised his head, and had evi dently heard the question, and under stood our repugnance to speak. "My name is Hautista Perez," lie said in a faint voice, "and I—l haye lulled that woman, who was 1113' wife!" The magistrate uttered an exclama tion of surprise, and, with a look, or dered his men to guard the door. Hautista understood this move, and sadly but firmly ad led: "I do not want to make 1113' escape, sir. I am reauy to confess my crime, and I was led away by jealousy. "Was Rosario innocent or guilty? 1 do not know. We lived in Ambato' and I have been suffering torture for j: I ij|j' | "I ST-APiiEI) IIEB." some time past, and finally resolved to talcc her away from the man whom I thought was my rival, and bring her to (fiiuraiuia. She wept and begged me not to leave Auibuto; ball forced her to come with m •, and my rage increased on the way, as I thought I saw the villain who had wrecked my happiness as we arrived at Mocha, and that Rosario only feigned that she was re signed in order to deceive me and run away with liim." liautista then kept silent, while he fixed his glittering eyes on the dead woman with a mingled expression of love and hatred. "And what happened afterward?" inquired the magistrate, who was interested in this do .ws ie drama. "On our way i'rn-.n Moeh i to the inn I threatened to seek the villain and kill him; i confess 1 did not intend to mala away with li*r then, lint she drove me wild with her despair, and 1 fan cied she was weeping on his account, that she loved him and despised me; or, perhaps, her fear w.i> duo to the terrible expre-..don on my face. That is the doubt wh; -h now tortures me. \\ hen we re :eh" I this place, after dis mounting, J. he did not want to come in, and attempted to esca >o, but I saw tliroug.i her purpose 11 call on the men in ti 10 barn; trd i >r help. Then I do not know u hat In ppened. I force 1 her t come in here, and she struggled and screamed, an I then, unhappy m :n, 1 stabbed her -an 1 yet 1 lov • I her! My dear Ito ,ario, how could I kill you? Pardon me, pardon me!" The unlmppy R. ulista covered his face with bot!i li::::ds, and his sobs re galed th.' i.i ... heartrending grief. '1 i:e ma i s Irate c.dl • I us to one end of the r > >m. and a: ued us to toll him all we had seen. The knife with which the deed had been done was slill ly ing on the floor. Suddenly Ruut'stu se /. 1 it and plunged it into his heart, crying as lie fell: "Forgive me, Rosario. lam going to follow you!" We all ran toward the unfortunate man, but he only lived a few moments, and his tragic death made all legal pro ceeding* useless. After the usual for malities hud been gone through, and j we had given our evidence, we proceed- I ed on our journey. Rosario, whether she be guilty or in- j noeent, now sleeps by Rautisla's side, ! while her secret is buried in the tomb. J Why Mho Was Sorry.
