valuable iiositaier nropertici In tin

rit'i'-.Iournal could never have been what
it is without the brilliant editorial pell
of Henry Watler.-on; it would havo been
quite as much of an impossibility with
out the eneiKetio and sagacious unmade
incut of Walter Newman Jlaldenian.
Though well known anionic newspaper
publishers everywhere, and to all people
of his native statu, Mr. Haldeman's life
of business has made him less familiar
ly known to the general public than his
colaborer, Mr. Watterson, but he is n
mail of remarkable character and with a
career as full of interest as it is of suc
cess. April U7 Mr. Ilaldeinan celebrated hi
seventy-first birthday. His years vM
well upon him, and in spite of them lie i
btill a constant and tireless worker. H"
is a native of Maysville, Ky. His father
was of Swiss origin, but both his par
ents came to Kentucky from Pennsyl
vania. Ho began life as clerk in a Louis;
villo business house, having received hi
education in the schools at Maysvillo.
General Grant was his schoolmate, dur
ing part of the time. In 181(1 ho joined
tlio nevspap-r workers as bookkeeper
for the Louisville Journal, edited by
tlio brilliant George D. Prentice. In
18 It ho became owner of The Daily
pime a paper which had been unsuc
cessfully run for about eleven months,
and which ho took to tecuro a debt. He
thus began by accident his career as u
newspaper publisher.
In June, is, he enlarged The Dunn
and changed its uamo to The Morning
Courier, a paper whose name is still pro
nerved in that of Tlio Courier-Journal.
During thu ne.t ten years he took in nr
different times a number of partners,
but always bought back tlio interest ho
had bold. The la-k of establishing tlio
paper required patience and hard work,
and only one of his indomitable pluel:
would havo Muck to it. By 1H5I ho had
it on a paying basis, and in 18511 he in
corporated a publication company. Mr.
Haldeniaifs time was mainly devoted to
tlio business interests of the paper,
though he wrote ti great deal and wroto
well. There are few bet terpar.igraphcrs,
and his close supervision of every pare
of tlio paper ami his energy and liberal
ity in gathering news ui.r.cr thu dillicul;
conditions then prevailing in tlio west
won success.
In 18(11 Tlio Courier, which sided with
tlio south, was suppressed by General
Hubert Anderson and tho oflico seized.
Mr. Haldeinan avoided arrest through
the timely wavniug of ouo of his employ
ees, who overheard two Federal ollicera
fisciissiug tlio plans for capturing him.
lo made his way to General IJuckner'a
headquarters at Howling Green, Ky., in
September, lHtll, and soon after, at the
direction of the Confederate authorities,
began thu publication of Tho Courier
within tho Confederate lines. Hu es
tablished an otlice and an associate ed
itor at Howling Green and went himself
to Nashville, where thu paper was set
up and printed, because of the impossi
bility of securing tho necessary out tit at
tho smaller place. Tho paper retained
its Kentucky identity by its Bowling
Green date line, and the Louisville-Howling
Greeii-Xashville Courier furnished
tunny a merry jest to thu Federals and
tho northern papers.
Tho paper, which was issued wholly
from Nashvillo after the Confederate
evacuation of Kentucky, was a success
from tho first. It became instantly a
favorite with tlio army and tho people
of tho south, and attained a circulation
limited only by its mechanical facilities,
Securing reliable news from tho north
was u diilicult matter, but that was
what was wanted within tho Confeder
ate Hues, and Mr. Haldemau met tho
demand. He gained in those trying
times an experience both of the value of
iiowb and of tho possibilities of an or
ganized nows service which has bince
been valuable to him. A number of no
tivo men were employed in the danger
ous service ot procuring liles of northern
newspapers for The Courier, and so per
fect and regular was the service that
tlio military authorities relied on The
Courier for iiifoimatioti. Tho adven
tures of these messengers iii passing
through thu lines in seaich of news were
often exciting.
After tho war Mr. Iliildeiiiaii re
sumed the publication of The Couru
at Louisville, and in IN1S it was consoli
dated with Tho Journal, which had
then passed from the control of Mr.
Prentice to that of Mr. Watt'i-'ii. Thu

consolidated paper, called The Courier
Journal, has enjoyed uninterrupted
prosperity, repaying its owners so hantl
souu'ly that Mr. Hahlemau has been en
abled to become a largo investor in
other enterprises and to acciimulato u
splendid fortune.
Personally Mr. Haldeinan is tho most
agreeable cf men. Business caresdo not
sour him. Ho is at his desk more hours
in tho day than his most faithful em
ployee, attending personally to a largo
correspondence, receiving at tho same
time a constant stream of callers and
suis'ivising every detail of Tho Courier
Journal. Every winter ho runs oil to
his southern residence at Naples, on the
Florida coast, for several months of rest
and tarpon fishing. Hu is modest and
unostentatious in his life and the most
approachable of men. Ho really enjoys
his work, and interruptions never annoy
him. His manifold interests in bus!
ness for no man is more ready to go
into a new enterprise his known lib
erality in giving to church and charitj ,
his political interests and his newspaper
work make him much sought after, but
he has always refused to iuterposu any
ceremony to prevent callers from coming
unannounced to his private olllce. Noth
ing in The Courier-Journal escapes his
eye, and ho is quick to note and reward
faithful service.
Mr. Haldeinan spends money lavishly
to procure news and to provide the latest
improved machinery for his papers, pub
lishing Tlio Evening Times in addition
to The Courier-Journal. Ho was ono of
tho first to try tlio typo sotting machines
and is largely interested in the Mergen
thaler. His papers, except advertise
ments and headlines, are entirely set up
by machines, and he lias the best of
presses in the basement of tho largo
Courier-Journal building. Ho always
head every stock subscription for tlio
benefit of his city and state, anil his
gifts to the cause of charity and religion
are munificent. He is held in tho great
est esteem and affection in his city, and
though his hair and beard are silvered
witli ago ho bids fair to be in the har
ness for many years longer.

Uahtiiaui:. Ills., Juno HI. "Wtten by
n mad dog!" is tho startling headline
that will soon b.-gln to attract tho eyes
of readers ol the dally press. It Is In
deed a horrible experience, mid the av
erage person shrinks distinctively from
the thoughts of such a fato. Is there i
cure for hydiophobia? It is said that
Pasteur has discoveied one, and if this
celebrated Paris physician has ically
succeeded ill providing it remedy for lli'i
I poisonous bite ol a rabid dog, lie will
certainly bo entitled to the thanks of all
liuinanklinl. It Is wild that few persons
bitten by dogs and who die in spasms
are really victims of rabies, but of itu
I agination. Ho this as it may, tho death
i of a person who imagines all he sees
anil who is evidently sullerlng all tint
I torments of the dunuied, is a most terrl
! bio one. Of all alleged cures for hydro
phobia tho "niadstoiie," so called, Is tho
I most noted.
j There is certainly a rcinarkablo mad-
stone in tho posses-ion of Thomas Ortop.
a pioneer farmer living in the little town
of Denver, Hancock county, Ills. Mr.
I Orion is u pioneer of "Olo Knintiick,"
and came to lllinoisalougin the thirties.

! stono which has been in tho possession
of his family for many years. Tho stono
has a history. It was found in an In

years ago by a voodoo Indian doctor,

ing snake anil dog bites with her life, a
blie was regarded as a witch. Thostona
fell into the possession of a minister
limned Homeland, who was a neighbor
of the Ortons in Kentucky. Hoagland's
boy was a schoolmate of ono of the Or
ton lsiys iiml traded tho stono to Orton'd
father, then a lad, for a jackknife.
While thii stono remained in Ken
tucky it was used in curing innumer
able cases of snake and dog bite. Since
it has been in the possession of Mr.
Thomas Orton, at Denver, fully 100 men.
women and children have tested its vir
tues, ami it is a matter of record that in
one instance only did the stone fail to
prevent tlio occurrence of tho horriblo
disease. Tho case in question was that
of a fanner living in Fulton comity,
Ills., who had Wen bitten by a mad dog,
ami who had neglected to havo tho
wound properly attended to, as stated.
He was in tlio incipient throes of tho
horrible malady when tho stono was ap
plied. Two others bitten by tho same
dog, who applied the loadstone at once,
Htiirercd no inconvenience from their
wounds. It is known that in a majority
of the cases treated the victims had been
bitten by dogs nfllictoil with rabies.
The accompanying illustrations are from
photographs of both sides of the Orton
loadstone.
Before applying the stone a physician
scarifies the wound. The stone is then
boiled for some time in milk ami water,
and becomes soft anil spongy. Th-3
smooth side of thu stone is then applied,
in every instance it adheres instantly
and remains clinging to tho wound for
several hours. Often the green, slimy
blood and water drawn from the wound
soaks through tho stone, running out
upon tlio floor tlrough the little pores,
or honeycombs, shown on ono side of
tho stone. All patients speak of ex
periencing a drawing sensation when
the stone is applied.
