Louis, the' looking aroud to see what'kind -of a show there would.be" consolidate It is said that a'subsidy of something like Testing for Color The eyesight of the trainmen on the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg is being tested and the work on the divisions centering here began yesterday. The work is in charge of Trainmaster Greenan, of Indianapolis, and Road Foreman of Engines Pontius. The tests are very simple, but effective. On a chart are printed the letters of the alphabet in various sizes, and the trainman is placed on one side of the room and the chart moved toward him until he is able to read the letters and the sentences they form. This is the "distance test." In colors it is different.

A lot of colored yarns are placed in a box, each color being a variety of shades. The trainman must be able not only to name the color, but to designate the different shades, and his ability in this line has much to do with his retaining his position. As a rule the men are able to distinguish the colors with great rapidity. This is the first general test in this direction that has been made here for two years. The action of the Council Wednesday evening in placing two Republicans on the police force was the subject of much comment yesterday.

It was commended by a large number of Democrats. Many were the inquiries and theories as to how it was done. One thought that the two Republicans in the council had voted eight times each for one man, while another was of the opinion that in the confusion of balloting for so many names the Republicans were unintentionally voted for. Citizens of Irish descent were angry that Murphy and Barret were knocked out, while many Germans were pleased with the selection of Fidler. The result, which the Pharos headlines calls the Democratic majority bowing to the Republican minority, was not accidental, nor the result of a trade.

It was the commendable and deliberate action of Democratic members of the council. Republicans pay part of the taxes and were entitled to representation. In Hard Linen. The East India Kemedy Company which has been giving tented exhibitions in this city for the past ten days, is stranded on the ro ck of adversity, and the five capable actors who have been amusing the crowds nightly are in need of the wherewith to get out of town. Several of these gentlemen have been known here before, and their friends are arranging to give them a benefit performance Saturday evening at the tent.

The company will be assisted by local talent, including the Carieton Quartete and the K. P. band. It is said that the death of Vlr, Lovie, manager of the company temporarily demoalized the finances of the party but that there is money ahead for them. Kev.

Hawklus Recalled. The recalling of Rev. A. W. Hawkins to the pulpit of the Cumberland Presbyterian church.in this city is the unanimous and spontaneous -wish of each member of that congregation an the return of the reverend gentleman and bis.excellent family to Logansport 'yesterday after an absence of some years is welcomed by every citizen.

Daring Rev. Hawkins' former pastorate here he endeared himself to the community at large and his departure was regretted. In the same degree is his return now welcomed. Rev. Hawkins preached his farewell sermon to his late charge at Knoxville, on Sunday.

The Knoxville Daily Journal gives a synopsis of this sermon and says editorially of the gentleman: "The name of Rev. A. W. Hawkins, the excellent pastor of the Cumberland Presbyterian church of this city, is one so well known to the public that it may be truly said of him on his departure, our people sustain a great loss in his'departing from our midst, as by his courteous manner, his decided stand on all occasions for the right, and his earnest endeavors, at all times, to show himself a true servant of the master, he has won a place in, their hearts and affections. It may be truthfully said that no minister in any of our churches, in so short a time, has won so many true friends as has this eminent Christian divine.

His parting from us is one that is greatly regretted, and if public sentiment were to express itself, it would undoubtedly wish him God speed oa his mission of love in his home at Logansport, where, after an absence of several years he again returns to serve the people he has served in acceptable manner for several years will no doubt be rejoicing on the return of so good a man and the accession to their midst of such an agreeable and pleasant family as they have proven themselves to be while in our city." Happy Hoonlers. Wm. Timmons. postmaster of Idaville, writes: "Electric Bitteis has done more for me than -all other medicines combined, for that bad feeling arising from kidney and liver trouble." John Leslie, farmer and stockman, of same place, says: "Find Electric Bitters to be the best kidney and liver medicine, made me feel like a new man." Gardner, hardware merchant, same town, says: "Electric Bitters is just the thing for a man who is all run down and don't care whether he lives or dies; he found new strength, good appetite acid felt just ike he had a new lease on life.

Plenty of This Year.

The Allegan Michigan Journal, published in the midst of-the great fruit belt of Michigan, is authority for the statement that there wfll be plenty of peaches this season. It "The husks have all dropped from the young peaches now, and it can be seen beyond a doubt what percentage of the fruit is uninjured. The appearance of the orchards now confirms the previously 'published reports to the effect that there is much more fruit on the trees than they can bear One grower tells us that he would be better satisfied if his trees bore but half the quantity they do." Notice of McetlnKof Board of Review: Notice is hereby- given that the. Board.of. Review of'Cass county, Indiana, "will meet' at the Auditor's office, in.

Captain Morrisey placed his men in their respective stations last evening. Officers Fiddler and Austin, the two new men, are stationed in the East End, and Officer Cronin is down in the Second ward. Otherwise the force keeps.on the old beats.

Items from the Noie-Book of Our Railway Pcr- soiuil stiitl OtliCJ'ivisc, The Order of Railway Telegraphers has received a communication from the Brotherhood of Telegraphers, setting forth the latter's proposition to amalgamate. In it they state emphatically that the protective clause is necessary, and intimate strongly, that without it amalgamation would be almost useless. The officers of the brotherhood' will be admitted to the meeting to-day and both sides will discuss the matter thoroughly. There- port of the insurance committee recommends that the insurance feature be made obligatory upon all members. In the report of the grand executive eommitiee, referenence is made to amalgamation and protection.

It is stated on good authority that the order will eliminate the non-striking, and the protective clause will be adopted. The longest and most expensive bridge built in this country is now under construction in the newest portion of the United Slates, it being the new steel bridge which the Union Pacific is building over the Columbia river at Vancouver, Wash. The length from the Washington to the Oregon shore is six thousand feet; the draw-pier is four hundred feet long. The structure complete will cost over $4,000,000. The federated railway men at Lafayette had a very pleasant time on Sunday last in Castle Hall in that city.

They were addressed by George Howard, grand chief of the Brotherhood of Railway Conductors; Mayor McGinley, of Lafayette and 0. H. Brown, of Arkansas City. A New Secret Order. A new secret order has sprung into existence in Logansport.

It is not strange to relate, either, that said order has its home down at the city offices. It is not long since the Ancient and Honorable Order of Soap Shunners was instituted in the city offices and the story of its rise, progress and ultimate downfall would make a big book, could sufficiently courageous be found to chronicle the thrilling events connected with this brilliant, though short lived order. Alas, none such can be found, and the peculiar doings and wonderful sayings of the A. H. 0.

S. S. are destined to die out with the present, or at most, the next generation, never to find a place in imperishable history. After all, however it may be well that such is the case. No evil example is thus set for posterity to blindly and foolishly follow.

But this is digression. It was of the new secret order that this article would deal. This order, which is destined to lend its mite toward forming history, is known by the plain and unostentatious name of the League of Liars. The qualifications for membership in this order are so simple that it promises to soon have the largest membership of any lodge in the city. For the present the sessions will be held daily from 2 p.

m.to 4 p. in the city clerk's office. Competent -judges -are on hand at each metting- to pass on the qualifications of candidates. The pass word is a csmbination of such dire portent that members are only allowed to repeat it at certain hours of the day and under certain atmospheric conditions. Tne new league is not limited as to membership.
