The little town of Macy, Ind., is in a state of excitement because a men named Andrew Oliver has secured a li- | cense to open a saloon there. For 30 years the place has been without a suloon. though hundreds of attempts have been made to start such places. Recently Oliver advertised in the usual way, but put his notice in a paper pub- lished 60 miles away in the most re- mote pert of the county. It escaped the observation of Macy people and the county commissioners, finding no opposition. granted .his application.

We do pet think that seuatorial expe- neuce has ever been e oxideted as a very necessary prerequisite tor the thru- ing out of a good congressinan.

Y'et those men, without that sena- torial experience, have made pretty good representatives of the old hay state. Gen Draper went ta congress and became am- bassador lu Italy without ever being a member of the great and general court. Denatur Lodge served only in the lower brauch of the state legislature, ami sea- ator Huar attained emmence without any state legislative tralning. Eveu to altaju so high a position of honor and trust as the governorship of the state does not weem to have demanded that legislative training. Gov. Wolcott served ju the lower branch, never in the senate; Gov. Greenhalge did likewise; Gov. Russell, as the present incumheut, was never a member of the general court.

The "locality" argument is a most atrong one. It obtains in national, state and city politics. To say that it should not be taken into account in this instance ur in any other would argue a very slight knowledge of political institutions and traditious in this state.

Dear friends, we have a very mixed cargo-four missionaries. 20,000 hun- dred weight of gunpowder, and barrels and casks of gin without number. Our ship's surgeon, a very wicked man, said to me, pointing derisively to the gin and rum that were being unloaded at every point along the African coast: ""There are the Ribles and hymp books Christian America is sending over to civilize heathen Africa."

At a meeting in London a few years ago Baboo Chunder Sin said: "What was India 30 or 40 years ago, and what is she to-day? The whole atmosphere of India seems to be rending with the cries of belpless widows and orphans, who often go the length of cursing the British government for having in- troduced intoxicating drink."

at At. the Parliament of Religions Chicago, Narasima Charya, a Brah- min of Madras, said with an outburst of feeling: "Our friends of Brahmo-Somaj have been picturing to you Christianity standing with a Bible in one band and the wizard's wand of civilization in the other; hut there Is another side, and that is the god- dess of civilization with a bottle of rum in her hand. I know of a hundred people in my native land who are ad- dieted to the drink hahit. Of course we have ourselves to blame; but re- member that to ape the conqueror, is one of the vices of the conquered, and that the fashionable habit of drink- ing is borrowed by the Hindus from the English. Oh, that the English had never set foot in India! Oh, that we had never seen a single European face! Oh, that we had never tasted the bit- ter sweets of your civilization, rather than it should make us a nation of drunkards and hrutes!"

As a result of the introduction of intoxieating drinks into these coun- tries by Christian nations, the beathen are prejudiced against the Gospel and its missionaries. They see the same nations that send the Gospel of peace or the waters of life to the children of darkness, send also the spirit of evll or fire water, and, in too many cases, the same vessels that carry mis- sionaries of light in the cabin carry casks and barrels of darkness in the hold

True, they who send out mission- aries are a different class from those who send out rum, but in the minds of the heathen it is all the same. The only opportunity they have of judg- ing the people of Christian countries Is when sailors and travelers land in their midst, and traders do business with them. They say, these are Amer- ican Christians or English Christians, and see what their religion does. Hence, when missionaries from Chris- tian lands go among the heathen to propagate the Gospel, pot infrequent- ly they are accosted thus: "Why do you come here? Why do you not try to teach and reform your country- men? Would you have us adopt such a religion as yours, to abandon the systems of our fathers, to become . drunkards and blasphemers? You tell us if we remain heathen we shall cer- tainly perish, but it is better that we should suffer than embrace a religion like yours."-James B. Dunn, D. D., in Union Signal.

HE IS LEGALLY DEAD

Estate of Missing Man Adminis- tered and Insurance Paid.

Absent Sixteen Years, Is Given I'p for Dead and Wife Marries Again- Modern Envch Arden Case at Gloucester, Mass.

A romance in real life, similar to that of Enoch Arden, but with more complications, has come to light ir Gloucester, Mass. News of a former resident, who has not been heard from for 16 years, and who was sup- posed to be dead, hls estate having been administered upon and his for- mer wife baving remarried, have been received. Howard A. Saville, of Little Rock. Ark., a descendant of a well- known Gloucester family, is the party in interest. and his identity and loca- tion have been discovered as the re- sult of an advertisement inserted in a St. Louis paper, asking for informa- tion concerning him, which was want- ed to settle an estate in probate. By mere accident the paper fell into his hands and a correspondence ensued. resulting in his attorney visiting this city und bringing the news of his con- tinued existence.

After going west Mr. Saville con- cluded to make a new start in life, cutting away from all former asso. ciations. He settled in Arkansas, where he again began life and in time rose to considerable local prominence. being at one time postmaster of Simp- son, a town in Bradley county, Ark. Not hearing from her husband for some ten years, and a report coming to Gloucester that he had died in a hospital while undergoing a surgical operation, Mrs. Saville made a claim upon a life insurance company for the amount of a policy upon his life, which, after investigation. was paid by the company, and his estate passerl through the prohate court for settle- ment.

A few years later, having no fur- ther news of her husband, she again married, while Mr. Saville also took to himself a wife in his new western home. No children have resulted from either of these marriages, but Mr. and Mrs. Saville were the parents of three sons and a daughter, the eldest of whom is Prof. Marshall Saville, tbe well-known archaeologist, who has re- turned to New York, baving spent the winter in Mexico, where he made im- portant observations and discoveries relating to the Aztecs.

MORE SCHOOLS FOR EMPLOYES

The Educational Finn to Be Extend. ed to the Factories of Chlengu.

The plan of having schools estah- lished, in the large stores downtown for the benefit of the younger employes, as urged by W. Lester Bodine, super- intendent of compulsory education, Chicago, will be pushed still further. Members of the board of education he -. lieve that the plan can be utilized for the education of employes of factories who are unable to attend day school and are too tired to attend night schools. Vice President Thomas Gal- lagher, of the hoard, is an earnest ad- vocate of the method.

Superintendent Bodine is now ar- ranging with several of the large fac- tories to follow the example of "The Fair," Marshall Field and Siegel, Cooper & Co. in starting schools. The difficulty of placing schools in fac- tories is, however, greater than in stores.

After the schools in the different stores have been firmly established it is expected that prizes will be offered by the board of education for those who do their work the best.

The Whole Story in one letter about

Clothed with au Electrle Skin. Prof. Francis Gotch describes the electric fish of the Nile, of which the Egyptians made pictures thousands of years ago, and which still inhabits the waters of that river, as being provided with an electrical organ that Incloses the whole body. It is situated in the skin, and when . viewed with a micro- scope, is seen to be composed of about 2,000,000 beautifully formed little disks, superposed upon connected rows of minnte compartments in which are the terminals of nerves. The shock is pro- duced by an intense current which traverses the entire organ from the head to the tail of the fish. returning through the surroundings. It stuns small fish in the neighborhood, Prof. Gotch likens Its action to that of a self- loading and self-discharging gun. The electromotive force of the organ in a fish only eight inches long can, he as- serts, attain the surprising maximum uf 200 volts. A single giant nerve-cell at the head of the spinal column is the source of the impulses which discharge the organ.

The Cheapening Telegraph.

The increase in the use of the tele- graph for business purposes has been accompanied by a steady reduction in the cost of messages. When the first Atlantic cable was laid the price of 3 20-word message between London and New York was $100, of five dollars per word. Now the commercial rate be- tween the two cities is 25 cents per word. To telegraph ten words from Chicagoto New York in 1966 cost $2.05. Now it costs 40 cents. Telegraphing to distant parts of the world is still an expensive business. The rate per word for a message from San Fran- cisco to Auckland, for example, is $2.87. From New York to Manila the rate is $2.45. The charge is not al- ways in ratio to the distance. The rate from New York to South Amerl- can or West Indian ports is nearly two dollars per word, but in reaching these points the messages travel twice across the Atlantic .- Ainslee's Maga- ine.

Wretched Inenbator Bables, The incubator babies are great trials to the nurses who have them in charge, says the New York Times. They arc often healthy little creatures, and, except that they are small, look to the outside everything that a properly constructed baby should be, but they are not to be depended upon. They will be perfectly well one minute and thenext they have stepped off into eter- nity so quietly that no one has known it, and apparently for no reason at all. Why they don't die from very disgust at life. immediately, the novice in baby tending wonders, after once seeing them fed. They are fed directly into the stomach by means of rubber tubes, which are slipped down their unpro- testing little throats, They do not even have the pleasure of tasting the insipid diet given them, to say nothing of the discomfort of swallowing quarter of a yard or so of tnbing.

BATTLE WITH HAWKS.

Hen Are Painfully Injured

While Taking Egge from a Tall Tree.

Poll Woll Young and John Hauptby had a thrillng escape from death while robbinga chicken hawk's nest. They had been trout fishing at Black creek and while on their way home saw the hawk's nest in the top of a tall pine tree. llauptby armed himself with a club and climbed to the nest.

Just as he was ahout to tale the eggs he was attacked by six hawks. They struck him in the face with their beaks and beat him with their wings. Hauptby defended himself until he weakened and then when the birds made a fresh attack on hitn he fell. lodging in the lower branches of the tree.

Woll Young went to his compan- ion's assistance and thyn climbed up to the nest, only to receive the same treatment as Haupthy Both are full- grown men, but they were so cut and bruised about the face, eyes, hands and neck that they drag. ed thetn- selves home with extreme difficulty.

"I donno," said the clerk. "What

do you say your name is?" "Joseph Mefrau."

"Mee-frow, Mee-frow-how do you spell it ?"

The Canadian at the window looked through the bars at the clerk. and then with a disgust that I cannot put in words, he cried:
