Har rison’s retirement from the presidency he had devoted himself almost entirely to his law practice, his only public service being his appearance in 189S as counsel for Venezuela in the South American re public’s dispute with England over her boundary line. Notwithstanding his large law practice Gen. Harrison has devoted much time since retiring from the pres idency to amusement and social intercourse. He attended the theater, receptions, was a great diner-out, and was at ai isoeial gatherings one of those most thoroughly entertained and happy. He attended local musical concerts, was president of the University Club, which he assisted in organizing three, years, was a member of the Indianapolis Dra matic Club, and made many informal so cial calls. In all these affairs he was attended by Mrs. Harrison. Gen. Harrison loved a good dinner and a bright social atmosphere of witty con versation to go with it. He acoepted in vitations to dine out freely and little dinner parties at his own home in honor of intimate friends were frequent. MEMOIRS OF HARRISON. English Papers Speak Highly of Dead Ex-President. London, March 14.—A1l the morning papers publish long memoirs of the late Gen. Benjamin Harrison, and articles dealing with his career. The Daily Chronicle says: “It may be long before America finds another President as capable, honorable and conservative.” The Standard expresses the opinion that Gen. Harrison has not left a deep mark in tpe history of the country, but like all the papers, it pays a tribute to his high personal character. Condolence From Cleveland. Indianapolis.

THE DEAD STATESMAN. A Prominent Figure In National Af fairs Since Civil AVar. Benjamin Harrison, twenty-third Presi dent of the United States, was born at North Bend, 0., on Aug. 20, 1833. His father, John Scott Harrison, was third son of Gen. William Henry Harrison, ninth President of the United States, and who was a son of one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. John Scott Harrison was twicte married, his son, Benjamin, being the second son of his second marriage. Benjamin was gradu ated from Miami College, Oxford, 0., in 1852. He married in 1853 Caroline Scott, daughter of John W. Scott, who was then president of Oxford Female Seminary. After studying law under Storer & Gwynne in Cincinnati, he was admitted to the bar in 1854, and began the practice of his profession at Indianapolis, Ind., which city has sincte been his home. His first public office was that of court crier in Indianapolis, at $2.50 a day'. This was the first money he ever earned. In 1860 Mr. Harri son was c'hosen reporter for the Supreme Court of Indiana on a Republican ticket; and this was his first political appear ance. When the War Between the States began he assisted in raising the Seventh Indiana Regiment of volunteers, became of that regiment, the lieutenant colonel having declined the colonelcy. Subsequently he succeeded to the com mand of the regiment, and later to the command of a brigade under Hooker. Col. Harrison took a conspicuous part in the campaign against Atlanta, and when that city had been token by Sherman (in Sep tember, 1864) he received his first furlough home. He did not remain long inactive, but was ordered to join Sherman at Sa vannah. He was stricken with scarlet fever, however, and was unable to join Sherman until the latter had reached Goldsboro. At that place he resumed com. mand of his old brigade, at the head of which, at the end of the war, he went to Washington to take part in a grand army review. In Washington he was mustered out, jin June, 1865; not, however, until he had received a commission as brevet brigadier general, signed by Abraham Din coin. Returning to Indianapolis he re sumed the office of reporter of -the Su preme Court. In 1868 and 1872 he took part in the presidential campaigns, sup porting the nomination of Gen. Grant. In 1876 he declined a nomination for Governor of Indiana. In 1880 he was chairman of the Indiana delegation to the Nat ional Republican convention and cast nearly the entire vote of the state for James A. Garfield for President. President Garfield offered him a place in the cabinet, but he de clined. preferring the United States sena torship from Indiana, to which he was chosen from 1881 to 1887. In the Senate he advocated the Republican party’s tariff doctrine, opiiosed Cleveland’s pension ve toes, and was in favor of civil service e form. He was deligate at large to the Re publican National Convention of 1884, and again in 1868. In the latter convention he was nominated for the presidency, and in the November following he was elected President, receiving 233 votes in the Elec toral College, to 168 for Mr. Cleveland. He was inaugurated March 4, 1869. The sal ient features of the Harrison administra tion were the Bering Sea controversy, the Pan-American Congress, the admission of the two Dakotas, Washington. Idaho, Montana and Wyoming into the I’nion, the Indian outbreak in 1880-91, the 'Mafia lynchings In New Orleans In the same year, the luldltlon of a number of first class ships to the new navy, the reciproc ity treaties with Germany, France, Aus tria and certain South Arnerlcun stat'-s, In 1882 Gen. Harrison was nominated to succeed himself, Grover Cleveland t* mg the candidate of the Democratic party. Mr, Cleveland was elected. Gen. Harrison Ihru returned to lluManapolis, where he ret) tuned the practice of law.

A dull, throbbing pain, accompanied by a sense of tenderness and heat low down in the side, with an occasional shooting pain, indicates inflammation. On examination it will be found that the region of pain shows some swell ing. This is the first stage of ovaritis, inflammation of the ovary. If the roof of your house leaks, my sister, you have it fixed at once ; why not pay the same respect to your own body ? You need not, you ought not to let yourself go, when one of your own sex holds out the helping hand to you, and will advise you without money, and without price.

Disfranchises Voters. Annapolis, Md., March 13.—The Demo cratic leaders are breathing more freely to-night, for when the Senate adjourned at 11 o'clock it was practically certain that the new election bill, popularly known as the "disfranchisement bill” will become a law. Nothing but an acci dent which canr.ot be foreseen can now prevent its adoption, and in such form as to fully carry out the purpose of its pro moters which is to make it almost, if not quite impossible for an illiterate vot er in Maryland to cast his ballot intelli gently. Up to to-night it has been con sidered doubtful if Senator Applegarth of Dorchester, a Democrat, would vote for the bill. Without his vote it would be imiKxssibio to pass the bill finally, unless the presence of Senator Claggett of Prince George's could be secured. This seems impossible as that gentleman is seriously ill in Philadelphia, and his phy sicians forbid his removal at this time. It was therefore a source of intense sat isfaction to the leaders when Senator Applegarth to-night voted with his fel low Democrats to order the bill engrossed for its third reading and final passage. The bill, in Us amended form, will prob ably be put upon its final passage through the Senate to-morrow, after which It will go back to the House of Delegates for ac tion on the Senate amendments. That the House will concur in these there is little doubt, and the enactment of the bill into a law at an early day seems a certainty. The bill to provide for a census of the people of the state, to be taken by state enumerators, passed the House to-day by a vote of 57 to 23, one Democrat voting against it. AMERICAN TOBACCO CO.

This, with the surplus of $2,575,429 at the close of 1899 brought the surplus up to $7,578,003. Out of this was paid! $3,270,000 6 per cent, dividend on common stock, leaving a surplus of $4,- 308,091. This did not Include net earnings in some of the companies in which the American company is at present interest ed. Of these earnings the company’s share Is about SBOO,OOO, which it was deemed advisable not to declare as divi dend's, but to let it remain at present as surplus on the books of these companies. FOB COMMISSIONER OF PENSIONS. Gen. John Palmer of New York Pre sented by Senator Depew. Washington, March IS.—Senator Depew to-day presented to the President the name of Gen.

Colombia Ready (o Bring Vliout nn Arrangement for Constructing the Canal. Washington, March 13.—Senor Martinez Silva, Minister of Foreign Affairs for the republic of Colombia and at present ac credited as Colombian minister to Wash ington, had a conference with Secretary Hay to-day, in connection with the in formal discussion concerning the Panama canal route lying within Colombia. It cannot be said that any formal negotia tions are under way, or are even open, but the presence of Senor Silva here at this time gives assurance that if there is any disposition on the part of the American authorities to take up the canal question with the Colombian gov ernment, the latter government is now disposed to remove any obstacles on tier part in the way of the adoption of Unit route. Thus far the discussion has been of a preliminary character tending to bring out what the respective parties de sire. It is recognized that there are three parties to any negotiations which would be undertaken, namely Ihe United Slates government, the Colombian government and the French company which holds the concession to bunld the canal. The pur pose is to see if there is any means of reconciling the interests and desires of all three parties. Dr. Silva said to-day that the French projectors had u conces sion which had been renewed fog six years, but if the AmeriJan government desires to consider the Panama route, lie said, there can be an arrangement effect ed to meet the requirements set forlh in the recent report of the Walker commis sion. For the present no definite propo sition has been submitted by the Colom bian authorities, nor are they prepared yet to indicate just what form a propo sition might take. THE _ bT& (^DIRECTORS. Chnlrmnn Sn lonian to Retire and Pennsylvnnia Knilrnnd to Have Mnjorily. New York, March 13.—The Evening Post says: Chairman William Saloman of the Bal timore and Ohio Railway is to retire from that position, and from active par ticipation in the management of the com pany. He will shortly leave this country for an extended trip in Europe. The Baltimore and Ohio Railway voting trust is to be abolished, or entirely reconsti tuted in the interests of the Pennsylvani i Railroad, which now controls the Balti more and Ohio. Additional Pennsylvania officers will be elected to the Baltimore and Ohio board as soon as the Pennsyl vania directors themselves make up thelv minds just what representation they want. At present only two officers, Vice Presidents S. M. Prevost and J. P. Green, are on the B. & O. Board out of the eleven directors elected by Mie share holders. They will probably have a ma jority of the board. The Pennsylvania now controls about $40,000,000 par value of B. & O. stock, about equally divided be tween preferred and common stock. Practically it is already in control of the affairs of the Baltimore and Ohio, though this controlling voice has only been secured since the recent issue of convertible debenture bonds by the B. & O. The Pennsylvania as a stockholder in the company subscribed for its full al lotment of these bonds. NAVAL EXAMINATIONS.

Washington, March 13.—Mr. Rockhill. special United States commissioner at Pekin, has not yet been able to inform the State Department of the character of the agreement said to have been reached by the foreign ministers relative to the basis of indemnity claims, though he has been in communication with the department on the general subject. It is apprehended that the final agreement Is still distant. The pursuance of the pun itive expeditions and the Insistence of some of the ministers upon designating more Chinese notables for execution 1- regarded here as surq to result In the failure of the negotiations if persisted in, and Mr. Rockhill is using all of his pow ers, by express direction of the depart ment, to induce the ministers and mil itary powers to cease what are regarded as ruthless and bloody measures.

AUGUSTA AND THE SEABOARD t ii lon Depot question Hnineil Asrntn and Seaboard's Petition for Time Refused. Augusta, March 13.—The papers publish a story that the long deferred union depot is about to be built. No facts or figures are given. Simply a general and indefi nite assertion that something is about to lie done. To-night James U. Jackson, general agent of the Seaboard Air Line, and Chas. S. Heard, vice, president of the Chattanooga. Augusta and Charleston Air Lino Railway, appeared before Council asking a years' extension of the grant of privileges made to the Seaboard Air Line a year ago. The union depot and Seaboard Air Line always come up togeth er, and apparently in antagonism. The other railroads claim the Seaboard is standing in the way of Augusta's union depot, and the Seaboard people claim the union depot scheme is projected to block its entrance to Augusta. A year ago Augusta granted the Sea board all if asked for in depot privileges and use of streets, and gave until March 15. 1901. lo begin work. To-night's petition asked an extension of these privileges to March 15. 190?. The petition waa opposed by Mayor Phlnizy, and on motion was received as information by a vote of 7 to 4. It is reported to-night that the Sea board will pul hands to work to-morrow on Harrison block, laying track with a view to clinching its grant from the city before expiration. Railroad men, when questioned about the Union depot, say that is is practically assured ami work will soon begin, but will make no definite statement.
