The crime tor wfilcli Morgan was convicted
Is itill fresh In th3 public mind. It oc
curred on the evening of November 3. At
11:45 : on that night Mrs. Onsklll reported to
the police that her 11-year-old daughter , Ida
was mining. A search was Instituted by
the police and the body of the little girl was
found In n small closet In the center of an
old unoccupied bouse near Eighteenth and
Half Howard streets , almost directly oupo-
sltu the residence of the Gaskllla. The boii >
showed plainly that the girl had been crim-

The starch for the murderer resulted In
the urrest of three men. Olio of them was
Martin Hooker. .Ivlng at Klgbtesnth street
and SI. Mary's avenue , to whose house the
mother of the murdered girl bad last sent
her. The two others were Kd Sanford and
George Morgan , who occupied rooms In the
same house with the Gaskllls. A search ol
the rooms developed evidence which almost
unquestionably connected Morgan with the
crime. Ills shirt , hat and pants were found
stained with blood , and at the time of his
arrest one hand was also bloodstained.
It was learned from Wllllo Gnsklll that late
In the afternoon Morgan sent him to tell
Ida that he wanted to see her. At the same
tlmo Morgan charged Wllllo that he should
tell no one that he had made this request or
him. Willie did as ha was told , and Ida Is
supposed to have responded by going.
Tor some days after the arrest of Morgan
popular feeling was so strong against jijm
that It was found expedient to remove hjm
from this city to the penitentiary at Lincoln.
Ho remained there for n number of days and
was then brought back. Ills trial began on
Friday , November 0.

HOW Ill'V. .lollll WIlllllMIN S1'H I'll
Colonel liiicri'Niill.
In the Introductory to his address deliv
ered at St. Barnabas yesterday , on the tnib-
Ject , "Inger.'oll and the Bible , " Hov. John
Williams said that the occasion was the second
end Sunday in Advent , the day when everj
pjrson'p attention was called to the inspira
tion of the holy scriptures , and tint It became
hla duty to defend them against n man oi
brilliant mind who bad but recently lectured
In the city.
" 1 consider Mr. Ingcrsoll a coarse , shallow
Ignorant , blatant egollat. Many people con
tend that Mr. Ingersoll , being such a brilliant
man , cannot possibly be sincere In his declara
tions , that It | s only for mercenary motive ?
that ha blaspliemes the 'bible. I can hardly
think this of him , for there ore many traits
in his character outflde of his infidelity that
are admirable. I can hardly conceive of any
one who would willingly throw away his own
soul and those of thousands of others for
a mere monetary consideration. Ho mutt
necessarily , therefore , be honest In his con
victions. Any one who would willfully mis
lead the minds of men In such a manner that
their souls should everlastingly bo lost there
Is no penalty In ( bat same lower world Into
which they bhould bo cast sudldently terri
ble to punish the authors. "
Mr. Williams added that In thes ? degenerate
days In which the followers of Christ were
jirono to bo hx In their moral duties , their
minds presented a fertile field for the growtl
of Infidelity from the seeds of discontent
thrown broadcast over the land by Mr. Inger-
soll. "Should nny one rob me of that pure
faith that has ever been a shining light to me
In days of tribulation that are past , a polaci
In th ? decrepitude of ngc to come , I tilioul
pause ns I stood upon the brink of my grave
and as my soul wavered before taking IU flna !
flight I should curse the man that hud robbed
mo of my moral bhthrlght. "
Mr. Ingcrsnli bad stated In bis lecture that
bo considered It an Impossibility , according
to the laws of nature , for any book to have
bfon Inspired at nny other period ; that science
had proven tlila. Mr. Williams contended that
It would also have been un imporvlblllty for
MDSCS or any of the prophets of the blbio
to emmioralp even the barest rudiments of the
sciences during tholr natural lives , and , there
fore. Itv.tw not attempted. The bible was
merely an 'nspired ' guide book without any
attempt having been made to discuss the
pclcnrii. Tim fact that Mr. IngenmU was
wofully Ignorant of the exact tcaolilng § of the
bible was easily proved by the narrow family
ciicle In which ho was reared. The bible
to any person of an unbiased mind wns n
collection of Inspired books , the proof of Its
niithi'iitlrlty b-lng the unbroken tests which
linil supports ! It through HID pint nies. If
not Inspired , It bad truly proved Itself to bo
the most inexplicable work ever written on
this plnnct.
Admitted that Deuteronomy was not entirely
written by Moans , the causes that brought It
Into existence were unquestionably qf the
iwro't character , und why attempt to dlrputo
Its heaven-boni origin , whoever had been the
author ? Mr. Ingersoll contend.d th.it there
were n < > miracles. There m'glit ' have been
none In noino Instance * wherp they were a I
leged , us In the case of the passage of tha
Isiaolltes through the Red sea. The bible ox
prcifly Plated that the great wave which made
possible the miracle was cauped by a "great
woit wln.I. " Tha miracle of the quails could
be accounted for In the KUIIO mnnu r , but
the particular and appropriate time'
for these occurrence could only be
accounted for by the theory of divine
Interposition. 11 ml God ben seen by Moses
on Mount Slual ? The great book had not
saidso , but had stated In a beautiful meta
phor that the spirits of the two hid met In
a holy communion far the benefit of the people
ple In whom Moses was In charge1.
Mr. Ingt'reoll had paid that he had " "taken
out a brief of Inlldellty and that he Intended
to stick to bis client. " Tlilx statement Mr.
Wllllanii thought explained his present posi
tion. The mere trivial details picked up by
him u lliwi in the bible , cuc'i ' aa the names of
cities In I'Jleolliio being wrongfully stated ,
uul many otlrr technical point % that were
made possible on account of mistakes In
translations from a now almost obsolete lan
guage , was lhi only material used by the
lecturer far accoiiipltfhlng liU ends , Ho was
not a Hebrew scholar , a historian. ncr an eth
nologist , and many of hit statements along
thli line of argument oftentimes lacked the
virtues of truth.
In conclusion , Mr. Williams suld that ho
considered the person who lived without a
belief In Immortality an object pitiful In the
extreme. Hl future must Indeed seem dark ,
Christianity had plercnl the utmost parts of
the world , It had thrown light Into Hi dark
est corners , freed elives and advanced civil
ization , It had taken core of the sick , fed the
hungry , aided the fallen. ven t' ' . art Its
noblest eoneeptloni , and advanced th *

Was It not better for every one to hold to
the more beautiful faith and go down to

In the district court today , Jimmy Ish will
be placed on trial , charged with the murder
of William II. Chappie.
It was on Sunday evening , June 0 , last , that
the crime wjs committed. At 7:30 : o'clock
on the evening of that date William H.
Ch-ipple called at the residence of Mr. Ish.
8-17 South Twenty-ninth strret , presumably by
appointment , to fix a sewing machine which
he had sold to Mrs. Ish. The first report ol
the affair to the police ns that Chappl ? had
attempted to outrage Mr * . Ish , and that she
shot him , first with his revolver and then
with her htlsba.id's.
The tragedy created a tremendous sensa
tion In the city , owing chiefly to the fact
that Isii was known to almost every citizen
of Omaha and was a man of considerable
wealth. When arrested Mrs. Ish told the
story of thn crime , ass'rtlng that Chappie
called to fix the sewing machine and at
tempted an af.nult upon her while her hus
band was In the cellar after kindling. Her
husband heard the shots a'ld ran to the room.
She seized his revolver anJ completed the
killing which Vie bad commenced with a re
volver matched by her from the hand of
Chappie , Hut notes were found In Chappie's
pockets , apparently written by Mrs. Ih ,
which indicated that she and Chappie bad
been criminally Intimate. '
Thi > following day It devclopjd that Ish
fired tha shots which caused the death of the
lowing machine agent. lih and bis wife had
both been arrested and had bpsn confined In
different cells and had told different and con
flicting stories of the crime , Finally Ish was
taken by the detectives Into a private room
and after having t > ; en shown that hi ? story
of the killing did not tally with that told by
his wife' , he broke down nnd made a con
fession that he himself killed Chappie.
ISII'S KIiVAL STORY.
He said that he had learned on Saturday
that Chappie had been Intimate with Mrs.
h'li. When Chapplo called on Sunday night
to llx the sewing machine he expressed sur
prise at finding Ish at home and said that he
would call the next day to llx the machine.
Ish , however , Insisted that he come in then
and do the work.
As soon as Chappie was seated , according
to h'h's story , Mrs. Ish sent her husband to
the collar to get some kindling. He left
the room and Instead of going to th ? cellar
got his revolver and returned to the bed
room. Ho found Mrs. lyh sitting on Chap-
plo's lap will ) her arms around his neck.
Chappie saw Ish and drew hla revolver , firing
thro ? or four shots at him , none of which took
effect. Ish says that he then drew his re
volver and llred four shots at Chappie , all
of which tcok effect.
When Mrs. Ish learned that her husband
had made a statement she modiflnd her story
of the crime and made It correspond as
nearly as possible with that told by ncr
husband. She aild that when Ish left the
room Chappie seized her nnd drew her to
him. She resisted' unsuccessfully and was
being held in the man's arms when her
husband entered the room and shot him.
At the coroner's Inquiry n number of sen
sational features In the case were developed.
It was shown that Chappie had been on fa
miliar terms with Mrs. Ish and had been a
frequent vloltor at her homo during her hus
band's absence. Ho Bold her a sewing ma
chine , for which he was agent , and vlslteil
her quite often under the pretense of making
needed repair * on the machine. It was
shown that Mrs. Ish had received notes and
letters from Chapplo and had answered them.
The most startling fact In relation to this
Intimacy was the discovery on the person of
Chapplo of n written memorandum of agree
ment by the terms of which Mrs. Ish was
bound to meet Chapplo once a week , alone ,
for the period of three months. Mrs. Ish
denied that she wrote or signed any such
agreement , but the handwriting has been
positively Identified as hers. It was also
shown that Mrs , Ish made Chappie a present
of a ring ; and wanted to give htm $100 with
which to buy clothes.
HAD HEEN HUNTING FOR CIIAIM'LE.
Ono of the worst features of the casa as
against Ish was brought out on the core
ner's hearing. Witnesses wer ? Introduced
who swore that Ish was looking for Chappie
the day bef&ro the tragedy and on the mornIng -
Ing of the day of the murder. It was also
shown nt the Inquest , by the physicians who
made the autopsy , that Chappie was killed by
a shot fired from behind and the direction of
the bullet was evidence conclusive that he
wns shot while sitting down. There were
thrco bullet wounds , on ; that entered from
the back of the li = ad and must have caused
instant death and two cthurs that passed
through the neck. '
One of the witnesses at the Inquest testified
that , ho entered the houtu immediately after
the shooting and told Ish that Chapplo was
dead. Ish replied that be was glad of It.
Another wltnecs testified that Ish made a
motion as If to kick the dead body of Chap-
pip and paid ; "The got Just what he de
served. " Then a lot of evidence was Intro
duced to show that Chapplu liacl been visitIng -
Ing Mrs. Ish frequently under pre.enao of
calling to fix th ? sewingmachine. . . Friends
of Qhapplc testified tiut | lie told them that
Mrs. Ish. wau Infatuated with him and a
servant who was employed nt the Ish resi
dence testified that she had taken notes to
Chapple'u place of business for Chappie and
from Mrs. Ish , Mrs. Chapplo testified that
her husband had told her that Mrs. I.li was
In love with him and had tried to indue ? him
to clopo with her nnd had promised to se
cure' ' $1,000 to give him If he would run
away from Omaha with her.
After hearing a great deal of evidence the
coroner's Jury returned a verdict that Chap
pie was killed by Ish and hit ) wife and both
of them wcrp held for trial , ami on the- order
of County Attorney Haldrlge were admitted
to ball , Ibh In the sum of $20,000 and his
wifeIn th- ' sum of $5,000. After Ish nnd
his wife had bon cut on ball for a week or
two the report was circulated that they hail
left the city and Judge Scott took the matter
In hand and after a somewhat sensational
hearing of the cas decided to hold both Uh
anil his wlfo without ball , and they have
slurf been confined in the county Jail. Mre.
Ish has been allowed the privilege of taking
an airing each day and Is sent out for a
rldo on the motor cars , accompanlel by u
deputy sheriff especially appointed for the
purpose. Her little child , n girl of 3 years ,
is with her In the county Jail ,

AMUSEMENTS.
Two larg' aiidienres at the Crelghton yco
tnday demonstrated the exlstcnc among u
i f a numerous class of star-gszcrs , whose
attention Is by no means monopolized b >
the real stars which twinkle In the celcs
Hal firnumtnt. The temptation to punning
refer. nc = s to Mr. Jos Oil's performance is
lee strong to bt- resisted and so obvious as
In some measure to shield the punt'tcr fron
the consequents of his crimes ; wherefore
? nc hopes to be forgiven for the as
sertlons above and for IhJ further
statement that Mr. Ott , whose magnitude
augments from year to year , was gazed a
yesterday by a very considerable number o
these visionary folk , to their apparent pitas
ure and unalloy.d enjoyment , the occaslot
being the prssenlntlon , for the second tlma
In Omaha , of that mass of good naturei
nonstnse , "The Star Gazer. "
The plccc > deals with the- trials of Mrs
Orbit , who agrcEs to pay n very comfort
able sum of money to one Prof. Jupltsr
Mars for the discovery of a comet which
shall bo all her own. The man of sclenc ;
leads her to believe that he has discovered
parts of a cornel's tall , and collects money
on account. A doctor Interested In hydrn-
ger.lzonlc gas bsciiue mixed up In the deal ,
and after many complications and dlay ,
which give the members of the company
such chances ns they might not otherwise
enjoy to appear in specialties , i rs. urou
weJs the profecsxir , a consummation doubt
less already forisecn by the close student
of farce comedy.
Joe Ott Is ns funny as ever In his own
peculiar saturnine way. He dances with his
urual animation , slugs new and old songs
In his husky volcff , and makes his lugubrious
Jokes with never n break In his solemn face ,
Ths company Is the customary galaxy ot
Phils , Mats , Toms , Joes and Dans , who con
tribute fully as much to the pleasure of
their audiences as If they were set down
as Philip , Matthew , etc. , and there Is a
swarm of well looking girls , same of whom
sing , others dance , and all do their lust ,
There are- several excellent voices , notably
those of Dorothy Grey nnd Bertrand Bedell ,
and Phil Ott , Joe Harrington , May Jordan
and Mat Carroll are clever In spsclaltlss.

A theatrical treat is promised the Crelghton
patrons" " In the near future , when Frank
Mayo will offer to local playgoers , his phe
nomenally successful dramatization of Mark
Twain's novel , "Pudd'nhead Wilson. " Mr.
Mayo , in his characterization of the cllentless
lawyer , has created a type entirely new to ths
stage , and the press of every cily In which
the play has be = n presented , has been unani

company and elaborate scenic and stage
effects as during Its 'ong ' end successful run

which , for clean , wliol.njino and legltlmati
comedy , is said to comp.ire favorably wltl
"Charley's Aunt , " "Too Much Johnson" nni
other productions of the same school.
Louis James , who will be seen here shortlj
represents the school of Kemble. McCulIough
and the elder Booth on the American stage
today. The gift of fitting his characters It
peculiar to Mr. James. Ho has a rare sus
ceptibility of temperament , by which he
assimilates not only the most pronounced
characteristics of the nersjiaxe he is to rep

They were dlscus&lng recently at a

a similar nature were brought up In which
the Injured men recovered nnd wereas hearty

"The most remarkable case , though , that I
ever heard of , " said Jerry Harrlgan , "was
that of Pat Mulligan , with whom I worked
for many a year. In Juno , 1881 , Mulligan
was working at ths Gray Rock , when the
shaft on that property was about 225 fett
deep. Mulligan was ono of the sinking
crew , and one day the bucket which was
used for taking out the waste and water was
being hoisted to the surface. The bucket
was almost filled with water and the shaft
men , unknown to the top man , put six dull
drills In the bucket to bo sent on top to
be sharpened. The top man dumped thf
wnrvr lu a trough at the collar of the shaft
without closing the trap doors on top and
one ot the drills rolled out , struck the
trough , and fell off down the. shaft. It was
an inch drill about two feet long und weighed
about six pounds. Mulligan was In a stoopIng -
Ing position when the drill struck him. It
hit him back of the shoulder blade , passed
clean through the body , narrowly missing
his heart , and partly emerged from between
theribs. . Mulligan's horror-stricken com
rades In the shaft rushed to his assistance
ami were about to pull the drill out from
his back , when Mulligan calmly seized the
lower end ot the drill from where It protruded
and by a great effort pulled It through hla
body and threw It down at his feet. It was
a wonderful exhibition of strength and forti
tude , but everybody who heard of the acci
dent was confident that bo could not survive ,
Ho hovered between life and death for about
three weeks , and finally got apparently &i
well us over. He worked for ten years In
the mlnet of Butte and Granite , but finally
met with a horrible death at the Anaconda
mine on November 4 , 1831 , by falling with
eight others from the -cage while being
hoisted from the mine. "

passerby. At the reception on the evening o
December 10 the regents and Chancellor Mac
Lean will welcome Governor Holcomb , the
executive- officers of the state , and a large
representation of prominent publicists am
business men of t'nc state. Quite a largo
number of Invl a lon hav loin s nt to People
living outsldo the city cf Lincoln , but the-
Invitation to attend the opening of this splen
did addition to the architecture of the capita
city Is general and applies to each and evcrj
walk of life. There will bo no set program
of exercises , but the affair will he entirely
Informal. 1'ractlcally the nsw library buildIng -
Ing Is competed in every detail. Iltit , In an
ticipation cf thei reception , workmen nro now
busy adding finishing touches to the furniture
of the Interior. Additions are being made to
the hundreds of Incandescent electric lights
and the heating and ventilating apparatus
Is being advanced to completion.
The total con of the Building Is $110.000.
Appearances Indicate that every cent of the
money has been economically expended. This
fact Is In marked contrast to almost every
other publics Institution In the state , wh re
slovenly workmanship and Incompetent hand
ling of materials are the rule. This building
Is not , as many have supposed , the result of
the appropriation of $73,000 by the last leg
islature. It was begun In 1&92. In that ycnr
was laid fie ) foundation of the north wing ,
which was completed In 1S94 at a cost of
$37,000. There still remained , however , great
pressure for more room to equal the demands
jf class work. Since the appropriation by the
twenty-fourth session of the legislature of
$73,000 to complete nnd furnish the library
building the work has been rapidly pushed
forward.

DETAILS OF THE STRUCTURE.
Practically the structure Is thrc-e stories In
lielght. Including the flrst floor , or basement ,
Jttllt of the best quality of pressed brick , Im
ported from St. Louis. It is of Che composite
style of architecture , carrying a largo pro-
iiortlon of Queen Anne effects. The main
building Is In size 130xC5 ; the north wing
50x75 feet.
Iy ! the courtesy of Jay Amos Harrett , II-
irarlan of the Nebraska State Historical so
ciety , the correspondent of The lieo was
shown through every room and annex of the
: hree doors. The flrst entrance of a stranger
lo the spacltviis niilhvay , from the cast , gives
: ilm the Impression of exquisite finish com
bined with inasfslvo'ness of detail. One Is
prompted to sayi. "No Bhain here. "
The reception halls , ns well as some of the
lecture rootris' anrt laboratories , are In full
quarter-sawed' ' onk wainscoting , rides and
celling complete" . ' The largsr rooms are
wainscoted half way up the sides , with n
broad strip of white wail , banded with oak ,
meeting nboVft a heavy oak frieze. The cell
ing is antique-oak , paneled. There Is not a
drop of paint on the Interior woodwork.
Everything fls' -finished In natural woods ,
oiled. Somc'-of-the closets and ante rooms
are wainscoted and paneled in yellow pine ,
natural sraln.
'The floors- fire iVery thick , deadened , and
as impervious to1 water as the deck of an
ocean liner. > If not a fireproof building , the
library Is slow-burning , with- two absolutely
fireproof vaults. The library proper Is on
the second floor , and no damage could result
to the books from water were the entire
third story and attic 'flooded In case of lire.
Floors are supported by large terra cotta
pillars ; In the center of which are eight-Inch
Iron cylinders. The two Iron vaults , one on
the flrat floor , or basement , for the use of
the state historical library , and one on the
sscond or main floor , ore In size 20x20. The
basement floor Is an completely and hand
somely finished as any of the Ilporn above.
'
Here are houied the books and 'archives of
the historical library. In charge of Mr. Bar
rett. Theoa. rooms are in the north wing ,
and have been occupied for several years. On
this floor. In-the main building , are various
lecture rooms for classes In philosophy , his
tory , physics , etc. On this floor , also , Is an
extremely modern system of steam radiation
for heating -the edifice. It comprises a large
room for the storage of steam-heated air ,
whence It Is radiated through the building
jy a system of piping. There are but a very
.evr common steam radiators in the struc
ture , the steam heat from the storage room
jolng distributed to the various apartments
by means of registers. In the attic an Im-
nense revolving fan wheel exhausts Impure
air from the rooms below and affords a most
lerfect system of ventilation.
On the second , or main floor. Is the library
proper and , the spacious reading room. There
are now In the library about 10.000 volumes ,
with book rocm for over 100,000 , At pres
ent there Is adjustable shelving for S.I.COO
) ook , but this capacity can easily be
loubled within the same floor space. Event
ually the whole north wing will afford space
for 200,000 volumes. At the north end of
this book room Is Iccited the other fireproof
vault for the safe storage of valuable MSS.
and rare volumes. In the reading room to
he south of the book room 250 persons can
bo comfortably accommodated at once. This
room is supplied with long reading tables ,
llumlnated by ovur 200 incandescent chc-
trlc lights , ths wires for which run through
the legs of the tables and are invisible.
Around the. wall Is considerable shelving
'or the temporary accommodation of such
books , treating on special subjects , that the
chancellor may from time to time order Into
this room. There Is a book elevator run
ning from the flrst to the third floor. All
ho rooms are remarkably well lighted and
celled.
IN THE ART STUDIO.
On the third floor lo the art- studio , figure
and mechanical drawing room , together with
a number of literary and scientific labora-
torlra. The art , studio Is 50x75 feet In size ,
irllllantly lighted by an ample skylight ,
vhlch can bo shaded by curtains on garish
lays. There are , also , several hundred elec-
rio lights handsomely mounted In globes , in
ho celling' .o'f ] this ream. As The Heo cor
espondent DOAV It' ' today there were but a few
casts and Specimens of modeling In the
apartment , ind po pictures. Hut the hang-
Ug ground , , and sky line were ample , and
ho necessary Complement of pictures nnd
rawlngs , the. yprk of advanced students ,
will likely f niCj In time.
One of thOjijicyit striking features of this
lulldlng. In njljfs departments , Is Hi cheer-
ul appearance , , There is not a gloomy or
epellent nook , lnutlie edifice. Even up In the
ow-celled attlpwltli Its quaint little dormer
windows , owning on the south , there are
everal snug coppers that could bo easily
ransposcd Into a quiet retreat from the
lurly burly Incident to colleglate > animation.
Chancellor" MAcLean , who has visited
umerous notrd "library buildings , says of
Ills one that Its distinguishing feature Is Its
noiiern alr'M towrastcd with the antique , or
monastic atmosphere of other similar Instl-
utlons. Alll llUl * tlmo and experience have

Ichly endowed for hundreds of years ,
The work on this attractive structure has
ot been hurriedly planned nor hastily ox-

A Man \Vlio Mmlr Thirty Pro | > enl %
Innlilr of Tno ln ) ,
According to a special dispatch from
Crawfordsvllle , Ind. , a wealth ? widower , 70
years of age , has caused a flutter In femi
nine circles In that city latelv by his
bald and original methods of attempting to
secure options In the marriage market.
The gentleman Is a resident of Danville ,
Ind. , and , though three-score years nnd
ten , Is determined to be married ngaln.
Presumably ho could not find what he wanted
In the Danville market , and lie went to
Crawfordsvllle to look for It. IJolug .1 man
of buplneM habits , he decided to waste no
time In sentimental circumlocution , but to
go about the affair In a straightforward busi
ness way. Accordingly , says the dispatch ,
"ho employed n man to stand on n street
corner with him and put down the names of
all the marriageable women who struck his
fancy. He teen had fifty names on the list ,
graded according to his friend's recommenda
tion , Ho then started out to call on
the eligible list nnd propose marriage. So
far he has not met with success , though he I
Is confident that he will get some onn before )
ho leaves. Ho proposed to thirty women and I
girls In two days. At ono place he made a I
favorable Impression , but the young woman
time consider. has found i '
asked for to . She
out that she. was not his flrst choice , and '
when he cnnic back for an answer ho had
tha door slummed In h'.s face. He employed
an attornpy to help him with a wealthy
widow , but she heard of his many proposals ,
and ordered him out of her house and , '
threatened to shoot him If he returned. " : l
The old fellow's failure to secure a wife , ,
at once In this way should not b : considered
as conclusive evidence that his method of j
courtship can not he made practical and sue- ,
ccBsful. U Is true that In two days ho was
refused by thirty women and girls , but It Is
likely that by this time ho has obtained an
option on the kind of goods he was In quest
of. He went to Crawfordsvllle last week nnd
even If he should not conclude his negotia
tions nt once he will certainly
lave brought the transaction to a close In a
remarkably short time. If ho had gone
about It In the ordinary style he might have
wasted six months on one girl , which would
not have answered In his casa , as time with
ilm Is worth more than money. Very many
men consume two or three years In finding
out that one woman will not have him ,
whereas the Indiana widower has only taken
two days to discover that thirty don't want
ilm. Jacob was considered a very shrewd
man In his day , and It took him fourteen
rears to get the woman he desired. If the
Indiana wife-hunter gets his In five days he
can claim to be a rearanably successful mat
rimonial negotiator. His method of courting
s really bawd on sound business principles ,
and , It would seem to practical men , should |
m attended with satisfactory results , If
10 had wanted to buy a line horse in
3rawfordsvlllo he would have employed an
expert horseman to post him as to the best
animals In the market and to give him all
.ho obtainable points about them. Then
10 would hsvc had them trotted out to
show off their best paces , and would have
nade .1 list of those that pleased him , and ,
Inally , would have made on offer for that
ono In tho' lot which he liked best. If he
could not get that one , he would , as n sen
sible man. take the next best. This is
what tills old tradesman did In regard to a
wife , and yet at least thirty ladles of Craw
fordsvllle do not appear to have been com-
illmcntcd by It. and one even went so far as [
: o threaten to shoot him ! Nevertheless , as
wo have said , we have no doubt that by this
tlmo his plain , honest , straightforward
ncthods have been crowned with success. A
nan of line business instincts , great energy
ind perseverance will not appeal In vain to
the feminine heart. Seventy years go for
lothlng where these qualities exist. Many
women would rather be an old man's dar
ing than a young man's slave. And whether
\ man Is old or not depends not on his years ,
jut on ho ! feelings. This one Is evidently
still feeling well. Why , then , should ho not
marry. If he Is 70 years of age , and why
should anybody laugh because ho courted
thirty glrla In two days. He is a man of
grit and determination. Go In and win , old
boy. _ _ _ _ _ _

"Are bcarda lucrative , or , In other words ,
can ono make money by wearing them long ? "
said a young man about town to the Phila
delphia Call. "Upon the flrst thought , and
perhaps oven after one has evolved the ques
tion carefully In his mind , he would reply no.
But they arc wrong , as the following case of
an old artist will show. Ily 'old artist' Is not
meant a genius like Harnet , Angalo or men
of that class , but a painter who , besides
jelng noted for his superior work In portraits ,
s conspicuous for the quantity of hair which
sprouts from his chin. This gentleman , It Is
.said , has won many a wager on his beard ,
which is of such great length that he Is com
pelled to wear It underneath bis vest. No
one over sees the hirsute growth , except
when he exhibits It to settle n bet. To saunter
nto a saloon and get Into conversation with
some of the customers there has become a
hobby with him , for In doing so ho has an
object. He frequently gets a drink In com
sequence of betting with some other fellow
who has a fairly long beard as to whose U
the longest , and it IB seldom that he loses a
wager of this kind , for bis whiskers extend
o the bottom of his waltcoat. "

appointed a committee to represent ( lie club
In ths matter of certain charges made by the
call of Uunraven In ruferem-e to tbe recent
Amurlca'u clip races and published In the
London Field or November 9. ISM. This
article In question expressly charges that
after blng measured for the cup races In
September lust the yacht Defender
v.'a.s surreptitiously leaded so an to
sink her four Inches deeper In
the water : that she sailed In that
condition on thu first day's race , and that
Immediately after the lace the ballast so
loaded was secretly removed , so that when
measured the next day no discrepancy was
found to exist between the two mcasure-
menta. While Lord Dunraven Intimates
that the owners of the yacht were not per
sonally cognizant of the fraud , the chaigc
Is nonp the less explicit. It appears from
Lord Dunraven's article that tills state
ment aa published In the Field Is "mainly
extracted from n letter which he sent to
the secretary of tbe Royal Yacht squadron
on September 21 last. "
AH'ST 1313 INVESTIGATED.
Wo therefore bt-h to Inquire whether the
charges last mentioned huvc been laid be
fore the Royal Yacht squadron , und
whether any and what action has been
taken by the squadron upon the subject. In
view of the grave Imputations thus made
by the represpujatlvo of the Royal Yacht
sqradron in airlntermxtlonal race betwecMi
tbe two great yacht clubs , the New York
club feels that the most searching anil com
plete Investigation shou'.cl bo promptly be
gun. It Is our purpose to conduct such in
vestigation as to satisfy every falr-mlndod
man on either sldo of the Atlantic , and , to
that end , wo have already communicated

In this line , among tlicin ths reid looamotlvo
designed aii long ago as 17SG by William
Symington , one of the earliest pioneers In
steam engineering.
Symington's outfit consisted rf , \ earrings
with a locomotive behind , mounted on four
wheels. A cylindrical boiler was used for rais
ing steam , which was supplied to two hori
zontal cylinders. Considering the early dutn
of the Invention , the arr.ingcnu < nt showed
much Ingenuity though It was allowed to
sink Into forgetfulness. never to have an ,
awakening , wlillo the Inventor turned hU
thouglits to other projects.
Nearly half n century later In 1827--an-
other steam carriage made Its appearance In
England , and for a time created not a little
commotion. It was the invention of Mr Our-
ney , nnd the engine appears to have bpen
made up of several cylinders , transmitting
power to the hind axle. There wore , besides.
"propellers. " described as moving like the
hind legs of a horse , catching the ground and
thus forcing the machine forward. Like the
Symington carriage , however. Gurney's In
vention was shcrt-llvcd , and nothing more
seems to have been hoard of It after Its brief
newspaper career. As forerunners , liowcvcr.
of the horseless carriages of today , which
promlss to enjoy n more material existence ,
they are Interesting and Instructive.
