The Loyal Legion Anniversary. Those who attended tho third anniversary of the Indiana Commandery of the Loyal Legion at Terre Haute last night returned this morning. The Terre Haute Legioneers in their preparations for the entertainment of their guests placed their best foot foremost and both the meeting and the banquet were delightfully enjoyable. Tho toasts were responded to, with Gen. Wallace as toastmaster, by Col. Geo. R. Davis, Director General of tho World's Fair Col. R. W. Thompson, Governor Chase, Col. 1. N. Walker, Gen. Xelson A. Miles, of tho Regular Army, Major Paddock, of the Illinois Commandery. and Col. T. 11. Nelson, while Will C. David gave a most excellent rendition of a poem written by Col. J. B. Black. The speeches were all of a very high order and some of them truly eloquent. The menu was rare and choice while the song singing of the InUtanapolis boys was superb and loudly and most vociferously encored. The festivities were kept up until 3:30 this morniii"

Charitable Youngsters.

Thia being tho last clay of tho public schools tho scholars all brought Christmas offerings for the poor and at all of the buildings the halls are lined with their gifts. Elementary geographies and side meat, onion and plum jelly, knee breeches and canned corn, gifts of all sizes and description covered the floor. This evening the teachers are bupv making packages and to-morrow will bestow the same upon the worthy poor. It is a very pretty custom and not only teaches tho children a practical lcttson in charity but tills numerous homes with Christmas gladness.

EXCITEMENT RAN HIGH.

a Uoru Huskine at Somney Productive of Marvelous Bocods and Hi?h Bets. Tho farm of Dr. Wilkes, near Roiuney, presented nn animated scene yesterduv. There was a great com busking race on the string aid all the young men in that section of the country •were on hand to take part or back a favorite. Not only were the young men present but everyone else, up to the venerable granddad whose failing vision would not allow him to distinguish between a field of corn and a suite of parlor furniture. There were several champion huskers present and tho favorite among the betters was Charley Parker, who, as his backers fondly asserted, could husk more com in a day and kiss more girls in an evening than any young blade in Tippecanoe or Montgomery county. Charlie was feeling as blitlie as a morn in May and gave his principal opponent, Grant Lavton, what in common parlance is termed, tho horse laugh, when (1 rant's father stepped into tho ring and bet S20 against his hopeful 6on. 13ut Grant was as bullliended as his great name sake, and when time was called he sailed off down the long rows of that big corn fiold husking the golden ears with as great avidity as Samson slew the Philistines with the jaw bone of an ass. Charlie, the champion, was fairly wild and husked as he never husked before. The boys seemed at times almost even and betting ran high, over S300 going tip on the issue. The howls and cheers of the rival factions could be heard for a mile, and when the declining sun declined to shed more light all hands gathered around to hear tho result of the official count. The Layton faction fairly split tho blue canopy of heaven when it was declared, by tho official counter, from the bottom of an inverted sorghum barrel, that Grant Layton had husked 151 bushels and 08 pounds against Charlie Parker's 119 bushels and 4S pounds. To add to the discomforture of the Parker faction Grant also broke the short time record by husking 31 ears in one minute and throwing 30 of them in the wagon. This is the best work in the corn husking line ever done in this part of the State, and in fact old handB state that they know of no better record evef being made. Grant Layton is fairly woishiped up by Honiney and can have any pretty girl he wants.

An Exceedingly Interesting Paper. The meeting of the Century Club at the Denison last night wr.s, if possible, more enjoyable and instructive than usual, and was characterized by nearly a full attendance of the club. Mr. Walter H. Evans read an exceedingly intereating paper on

l-Our

Mexican Acquisi

tions." Mr. Evans was the botanist, who, by appointment from tho general government, accompanied the expedition led by President Coulter, which last summer devoted almost the entire sea son to an investigation of the multi varied growth of cacti, so thoroughly indigeonus to those sand plains of the Mexican territory, where the lack of irrigation has precluded a vegetable growth less tenacious anil hardy. Mr. Evan's paper last night was rich with descriptive power and illustration, and received a most hearty applause at conclusion. The subject was generally discussed after the reading of the paper, and the fact that several of the gentlemen present hid visited Mexico and Central American provinces added largely to the interest of the evening's con versation.—Indianapolis Sentinel.

Some Mistake.

The two young people who were re fused license to marry here the other day, because they were cousins, went to Crawfordsville yesterday morning, where they had no trouble in getting hitched. After their experience here, the young man and the girl's father kept their mouths shut about the cousinsbip of the young people.—La fay cite Call.

The two young people mentioned above are probably Ora and Lei ma Dazey Mr. .Tames Ackroyd, of Illinois, took oath before Clerk Hulet that they were not first cousins. Their possessing the same name, led Mr. Hulet to question closely into the matter but tho interested parties stated that they wcro only second cousins. There is probably some mistake, as the people are eminently respectable.

A Musicque.

A musicque will bo given at tho First Presbyterian church this oveniug by tho 1*. P. S. C. E. of that church. They will be assisted by Eddie Brandkamp, auorchestra of fourteen pieces, the K. K. K. club, and some of the best musical and literary talent in the city, l^oors open at 7:00. Enortaininont to begin at8:00. Admission 5 cents.
