. "Henry S. Lane was one of the best stamp speakers that Indlana.cver produced." said a gentleman the other day who haa resided In this state for over 60 years. "He was essentially a stump speaker, using that term In the old time sense of the word, and I am sure that sending him to the United {States senate was equivalent to putting him in a coffin, as far as display of his peculiar oratorical ability was concerned. He was especially brilliant at repartee, and his ability In this respect might me likened to the play of a mas-

BIG FORTUNE IN REFUSE. THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS THROWN AWAY IN NEW YORK WASTE. facts OUanad Fr«i by lt» City authorities I Pspor. It as* and Jaak — Old Skua* Make a Vary Prominent bhowlng. There Is $ fortune thrown away annually in the waste of New York city, writes a correspondent of the Philadelphia Record. The poor of Paris could be well housed, fed and clothed with tha proceeds from the waste of this city. This statement Is not based on mere supposition, but upon facts gleaned from an experiment which was tried by the city authorities last year in caring tor a certain portion of the city's waste. For a period of 12 months the refuse and waste gathered from street cleaning districts Nos. 12, 14 and 16 was delivered at a special station, where it was carafulty separated into Its constituent parts and such as could utilized for any good purpose was sold for what It would bring and the balance was destroyed. The area covered Included a population, according to the census returns, of 116.525. Every class of house, shop, store and a few factories are to be found within the districts, so that the results of the year's work would form a fair basis for estimating the value of the' waste of the whole city. During the year 12,947 loads of separated refuse from carta holding four

There was a total of 576,812 pounds of rags, classified as follows: Woolen. 18.617; white. 41.450; mixed. 116.550: black. 195.825; bagging. 48.055; twine. 21.070; softback carpel 18.795; hardback carpel 79.820; wool carpet. 2918; Unsey carpel 7180; old coata, 20.945; stockings, 4590. Among other articles there were found 80,840 pounds of old iron; 494 ’pounds of copper. 2090 pounds of zinc. 1607 pounds of brass. 303 pounds of lead. 9769 pounds of old rubber, 36,100 pounds of oldahoes. 400 ppunds of hair cloth. 766 pounds of curled hair, 2100 old bats, 12 loads of tin cans, 40 mattresses. 2890 barrels and 29.205 proprietary bottles. Beside all this, it must be remembered there was an Immense amount of matter of all classes gathered by the countleas number of rag and garbage collectors who do a business Independent of the city de-

lected from the boroughs of Manhattan apd Bronx for this year, at the same time allowing for. the natural Increase. It would amount to 112.000 tons for 12 months. About 32 percent, or 36,840 tons', represents the paper and rags. It Is Interesting to note, that the dally newspapers In New York' consume 350 tons of paper per day, of which. It Is estimated, one-half remains in the city and is no sent Into ulatlon through the malls. This -half will amount to 63.870 tons storing the year. To this vast paper heap must be added the Immense stack of printed matter, such as circulars, posters, advertising letters, etc., and the refuse from the weekly and monthly publicationa. About-one-half of this vast total of waste paper finds its way back'to the manufacturer through private channels while much of It is consumed In the furnaces of office buildings. Institutions. and the like, with most un-satisfactory-xgffiilta. For example, the federal authorities In their building down town undertake to destroy large quantities of paper, and oaring to the fierce draft due to the tall chimneys and the poor combustion, half-burnt paper Is distributed Impartially over the neighborhood. For weeks together last summer the atmosphere of a section. including parts of Broad, Wall and Exchange street was, at certain hours, loaded with floating ashes and half-burned scraps of paper, and an several days In particular .the walks and pavements In the vicinity of the custom house were literally carpeted with charred fragments of burned gov-

has been demonstrated that this class of garbage, In the modernized furnace for Its combustion and for utilizing the heat units for the creation of steam, has In it one-tenth the value of coal. This means that New York city towed out to sea last year more than 5600 tons of coal, which had a money value of 185,000. This rubbish was worse than wasted, for after being dumped Into the sea It was blown, drifted and tossed about by wind, tide and wavt much of It landing on the shores beaches of the health resorts, there to become a nuisance and menace to huWHEN PERIL COMES.

The death of former President Benjamin Harrison has recalled to a few residents of this city, writes a Cincinnati correspondent of the New York Bun, a tragic Incident In bis career which happened here not long after the death of John Boott Harrison, bis father. In May, 1878. The man who was later to be president had accepted the nomination for governor a short time previously and although be ran 2000 ahead of bis ticket the Republicans were defeated. It was before be had been elected to the United States senate, although that possibility was already contemplated. General Harrison had returned to bis native town of North Bend, 16 miles from here, to visit his family and renew his old friendships In the place of his birth. He had gone there from Indianapolis, because It was already rumored that be might be called to Washington to serve his term as senator. During his visit to the little Ohio town he was made much of by the persons who had known him jn his youth and although his father had Just died he received many visits from the country people; one of those who came to see him was an old German woman, whose husband had been buried recently.

Her husband's body had been buried in the little churchyard of the village ami a few days afterward there were unmistakable evidences that his grave bad beta tampered with. Investigation showed that the body had been stolen. -There was Immediate suspicion that It bad been sold to one of the medical colleges In this city, and the woman wanted-bar husband's friend to help her to recover the body. "She told her story to General Harrison. who promised to do what he oould to help her. as he was coming to Cincinnati the next day on his v

body

bronght here and sold for the purpose of one of the clinics, and the first* thing he did on reaching Cincinnati was to consult with' the chief cf police. "The general and he agreed as to the best means of conducting the search. The chief got a warrant and sent a constable with him and his friends to all of the medical colleges here. The first institution they went there they found no signs of th’e body. General Harrison knew that he would be able to identify It and he spared no effort in making the search thorough. Every body In the dissecting room was shown to the party, and when General Harrison told us that be had failed to flnd any that looked like the old German we moved on to the three other colleges with dissecting rooms. In none of these was there any sign of the body for which we were searching, although General Harrison looked at every cadaver from those which had Just been brought In to those pickled in the cellars down atalrz. "Wc had about given up hope and only the general's suggestion that we return to the Ohio State college once more led the party back there again. We felt certain that there was no place we bad not seen, but when General Harrison thought that it might pay to look through the rooms again we all went back willingly. The dissecting room in the State college was on the top floor, and the cellar, In which the bodies were kept, was directly under this. The subjects were lifted from the cellar to the top floor by a pulley rope, which

flclal remained in the room, while we left It at General Harrison's requeaL These two remained alone with the college officials In the dissecting room up stairs while we awaited them down stairs, confident mat the missing body had been found. “It waa not until the constable came lo dismiss us that we learned the truth The body which so suddenly came Into view was that of General Harrison’s father. John Scott Harrlsou. the grandson of a signer of the Declaration of Independence; the son of a president of the United states, and a distinguished lawyer, soldier and statesman; but be was tbe prey of body snatchers just as the humble German In tbf end had been see the general again that nlghL He sent for a friend, and with him went to the newspaper offices in the city, explaining th« matter fully, and requesting that th« least possible notice be given to It As far as I can remember now. the incident was scarcely alluded to, and at all events its details never became public. Tbe body was returned quietly to the grave at North Bend, which had been robbed by ghouls from Cincinnati who had supplied tbe medical colleges during the entire winter. "The authorities In toe college where General Harrison found his father’s body supposed^that the cadaver on the dissecting table, when they learned the business of jour Investigating party, was that for which we were seeking. It was then lowered Into the cellar on the rope, and when we went down there to look It had been lifted to the .floor above. In that way It had been concealed until the sudden demand that the taut rope be drawn up was made on the janitor and Instructor within. "A party of us went out on tbe following day after wc bad’heard of the Incident to visit the c:metery of North Bend, and found John bcott Harrison's grave empty. The fresh earth had been removed, the upper part of the coffin lid cut away and tbe body taken. I ntver heard whether the body for which the search was originally started was ever found, but 1 know that the chief of police, who learned of the incident, raw 10 it that the dead In that little cemetery were protected in the future. "General Harrison confessed shortly after the incident that he had never in his life gone through an experience like that which followed his first discovery that It was his father's body hanging by the neck to a rope only a few days after he had been burled with all the honor that tbe region could show."
