Robert Shiftier, while playingball Saturday in Philadelphia, was struck on the temple with the ball and died yesterday from the effects of the blow. . General John II. Stibbs, the chief pension examiner at Chicago, has just unearthed a large pension fraud. It appears that Dr. John S Taylor was a surgeon in the Twen ty-third Illinois volunteer infantry. He lost his health in the service of his country and in March, 18G9, made an application for a pension. Two months later Dr. Taylor was ad judged insane and sent to the asy lum at Jacksonville, Illinois. Since then he has beec hopelessly insane and has been by turns confined as a pauper in the asylums at Dunning and Kankakee, where he now is, a man sixty-seven years of age. His wife, Mrs. Alice L. Taylor, who lives at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, and who has been prominent as a lecturer and writer on temperance, has been drawing her husband's pension of $72 a month since 187-4, notone penny of which has been spent for the ben efit of the insane man. In all she has received from the government $16,1564. Mrs. Taylor invested it in securities and at the advice of Dis trict Attornev Milchnst. she re turned $8,1G0 to be spent for the ben efit of Mr. Taylor. The' reported surcess of Mel bourne, the rain wizard, in Colorado has induced the efforts to bring him to Lincoln, or a near-by locali ty. Correspondence the last week culminated in an agreement by Mel bourne to sprinkle five Nebraska counties with a good showerof rain. If he succeeds he is to get $25,000, to be paid in subscriptions. The counties selected for operation are Lancaster, Seward, York, Hamilton and Fillmore, situated in a line from west to east in the order named Details of the test have not been fully arranged, but it is to occur within a week, at a point yet to be designated in one ol the counties named. V. J. Campbell of Illinois was elected chairman of the republican national committee in place of J. S. Clarkson, who refused to be a can didate for renomination, and De Young of California was chosen vice president. Carter of Montana was elected secretary. The republican national commit tee is reorganized and ready for the campaign. The Mississippi river is reported as e"ing higher than was ever known before, and a fuel famine is threatened at Rock Island, Daven port and other towns along the river, as all of the coal roads are underwater. ' Mrs. John Skillman of Phillips- burg, N. J., while playing with a flobert rifle yesterday, accidentally discharged he weapon, the ball passing through the heart of her eleven-year-old daughter, killing her instantly. A Mormon bishop named Lot Smith, who used to be a Danite chief during the overland route days, and who fled to Arizona when the government got after the polygs is reported killed by the Indians, From his ancient reputation one would judge that the Navajoes got the right man. He is generally be lieved to have been a major in the Norman battalion that perpetrated the Mountain Meadow massacre. Lincoln Journal. The quiet little village of Central City is all broken up over a church trial wherein Hon. N. R. Persinger figured quite promiscuously with having too much freedom with a certain young lady. It is under stood that he will be churched. BEFORE HE THOUGHT. The Poor Fellow Was Really Hungry aod Spoke Ills Mind Too Frankly. Tom De Witt, Jack Fonl and Ed Still- man had been living on cigars and hoie for two days and were nearly starved to death. They had decided to honor some of their Vassar friends with a visit, at the time of the commencement, when the college discipline is somewhat relaxed; but a short stay in the place had con vinced them that the fare of the Pough keepsie boarding house was inadequate to satisfy Murray Hill appetites. So whon, after a morning drive, the girls announced that they intended to effectually silence the current feeble sneer at the cooking abilities of fair col legians by giving the party a lunch pre pared by themselves, there was joy in the hearts of the men. At the word "lunch" Tom looked at Ed and Ed look ed at Tom, and" Jack looked straight into the face of the prettiest girl and said most felicitously, "Oh, thank you! It was to be served in one of the rooms at 2 o'clock; "in" the meantime they would stroll about the grounds and get up an appetite." At last the lunch came. It was a 'pink" one. The table was artistically and tastefully decorated. Big pink bows and bunches of roses covered the cloth, and elaborately painted dinner cards directed the guests to their seats. As course succeeded course the men began to wonder where the substan tial were coming in, and to realize that a third disappointment had fallen to their lot. The little tubs of deviled salmon, the impalpable croquettes with tender as paragus tips, the tiny dabs of shrimp salad in the center of eool, green lettuce leaves, the salted almonds, the olives, the meringues glace and the strawberry sherbet were all very dainty and deli cate, but not particularly satisfying to earthly mortals whose thoughts were running on thick, 3uicy English chops and big pewter mugs the size of an in fant's bathtub. And when as a finishing touch cute little packages of tutti frutti, cunningly tied up in pink ribbons, were passed around on a silver plate, the men felt unequal to further conversational effort. A few hours after the feast Tom De Witt remarked that it was time for them to be starting, as thejT expected to catch the 7:50 train for New York. "Oh, you'd better stay over until the 10:10," remonstrated a sweet sophomore; "you will just spoil your evening. What will you do when you get back to the city?" Here was the great opportunity of Jack's life, and unconsciously he rose to it. "Oh," he said earnestly, "we'll go straight to a hotel and get something to eat, for we haven't had a square meal since we have been in this town!" For a moment three girls stared blankly at each other, and then the young men gathered their hats and canes together and, saying hurried "good nights," sped, with horizontal coat tails, in the direction of the depot. Harry Bomaine in Homemaker. How the Cobra Gives 'Warning:. The most dangerous reptiles of India and Africa are the cobras. No snakes, not even rattlesnakes, are more dreaded, and with reason. As the rattlesnake warns the ear by its significant "rattle," so the cobras warn the eye by the mode in which they expand the upper part of the body when irritated. This expan sion is produced by a sudden movement of the ribs of that region of the body. Usually they incline backward, but the animal, when irritated, makes them stand out at right angles to the body, nd so, of course, forces outward the 6kin which covers them. Thus the neck, or part just behind the head, becomes greatly expanded and flattened, as ib also does, though in a less degree, in the Australian blacksnake. This expansion io called a hood, and so the animals are called hooded 6nakes. In some of them there is on the back of the hood a dark mark, something like a pair of spec tacles, and they have therefore been called spectacle snakes. Quarterly Re view. How Hawthorne Wrote. We never think of local color in con nection with Hawthorne. Apparently he didn't need to put it on. Perhaps he would not have understood about it. He might have thought that the coun terpart of the literary term (local color) applied socially would refer to the women who paint, the term has such an artificial sound. One has an idea of a colored photograph; the local color is not a part of the substance, but is im posed. Hawthorne was not conscious of any necessity of giving local color to his creations. He wrote of that into which he was born, and his creations, even when they were in foreign settings, glowed with that internal personality which is never counterfeited by veneer ing. Charles Dudley Warner in Har per's. Definition of a Journalist. "A man of literature compelled by circumstances to be also a man of busi ness." That is the definition of a jour nalist, given by Mr. Sala. It is a good enough definition in its way, though it cannot be considered as invariably ac curate. There are a good many soi disant journalists who are certainly not "men of literature," and a good many more, whose claim to the title of jour nalist is unquestioned, who are certainly not "men of business." London Globe. Nearly 100.000,000 a Year. Mr. James Wright, scond vice pre.si dent of the Innian line, says that when the end of 192 come at least 100,000 people will have left for Europe from all parts of this country during the year. Half of them will sail during the fifteen weeks of the season, from April to August. Some travelers will carry hundreds of dollars in their pocketbooks to 8end where others carry thousands. Nine-tenths of those hundreds and thou sands will be transferred to foreign own ers before the tourists return. Even the money spent for passage and during the vo3ages must be counted in that which bids goodby to this land of lilerty, or the great steamship compa nies are, with one exception, foreign corjorations. Including tips and fees these corporations will take an average of $160 from each passenger for the round trip. The majority will pay less, b 't there will be enough rich men who who pay a good deal more to bring the mean amount up to that figure. The money which each tourist carries with him is harder to estimate. A for eign exchange clerk 6aid that the letters of credit issued by them to European travelers average about 600, or $3,000 each; but this is above the ordinary fig ure, and of course this in many cases covers a party of four or five. Eight hundred dollars is estimated as the aver age amount taken by each passenger in the cabin. This makes the total average expenditure of the average European traveler $960. When this is multiplied by the estimated total of these travelers the result is astounding. It is $96,000,000. Ninety-six millions of dollars carried from America to Europe in a single year by travelers alone! If this were saved for a few years Uncle Sam might buy a good slice of Europe and bring it over here . for exhibition purposes. New York Press. Lenten Offerings. The Lenten offerings of the Sunday 6chool children of the Protestant Episco pal church throughout the United States thus far received in behalf of the gener al board of missions are largely in excess of those for the same period in 1891. In the two weeks immediately succeeding Easter 1,137 Sunday schools sent in $ J6, 699, and it is believed a total of $100,000 will have been received when all of the 4,000 schools in the country shall have been heard from. This is double the gum donated last year. The Lenten Sunday school offering is a feature of the work of the lioard of missions. Just before Lent this year the board sent a package of folding paste board savings banks to each Sunday school superintendent for distribution among his pupils for the reception of the children's savings during the fasting sea son. No sooner had Easter passed than the little banks legan to arrive at the offices of the board in the Bible House. The twenty-five young women in Bish cp Leonard's school in Reno, Nev., sent $250. One school sent in 5,000 pennies and another 10,000 pennies. It will be July before all the returns will have been received. New York Herald. Macaulay's Uirthplace. Rothley Temple, Lord Macaulay's birthplace, is for sale by public auction. It is an old manor house, some six miles from Leicester, and there the historian was born at the end of the year 1800. It cannot be said that Rothley Temple de rived more than nominal luster from the association, for Macaulay left Leices tershire before he had left infancy, and Birchin Lane, in the city, was the home of his earliest childhood. Instead of a manorial park he had Drapers' gar dens for a playground, until he went tt live in the old High street at Clapham. The Leicestershire manor, however, has many historical interests besides this one, and a Thirteenth century chapel of the Knights Templars is attached to the estate. It is a wealthy manor, too, for 900 acres produce 2,000 of annual rent; and, moreover, it is at the headquarters of the famous Quorn Hunt, -and in the heart of some famous scenery. London Star. Cost of an Epidemic Dr. Thresh, the medical officer for the county of Essex, having obtained full returns of the late epidemic of influenza, estimates that no less than 540 persons died under the immediate attack, and that no fewer than 1,400 deaths occurred in the county from its direct or indirect influence. The monetary loss for th two months during which the epidemic prevailed he states at no less than 50, 000, on the basis of the loss of wages of adults calculated at twelve shillings a week. He adds: "I am, however, afraid that had the county suffered from an epidemic among cattle, causing in the time the same number of deaths and in dicating the same pecuniary loss, the alarm produced would have been greater and more permanent." British Medical Journal. A 100,000 Pound Chip of a Rock. A stone quarry company of Bedford, Ind., has shipped the largest single block of stone ever quarried and shipped in the United States. The block was 12 feet 8 inches long, 6 feet 3 inches high and 6 feet 3 inches wide, containing 500 cubic feet, and weighed 100,000 pounds. The car on which it was shipped had to be ordered specially for it, and was the car that was built for the purpose of transporting the thirty-foot cannon sent by the government to the Pacific coast a few months since. The stone is perfect, not having a flaw or defect, Indianapo lis Journal. . H " Parties "iiild lint (1(1 ln'1 T4T4 furniture, in the Bed Room set, cHtabiishnitMit. J. I.
