THE ATflEJSIAH

Moots ana Proposes an Organization Tor Systematic Philanthropy.

A postponed uieetiDg of the Athenian uiet at the home of Mrs. T. H. B. MoCain yesterday afternoon and the pleasant day brought out a full attendance. A paper on Sociology was read by MiBS Mary Binford, followed by a conversation on l'resent Day Charities led by Mrs. Ooss. Tne discussion cn theso subjects seemed quite opp rtune after the severe trial of strength, patience and generosity through which many have just passed in relieving the distress of the poor, and a disposition was shown to take the initiatory steps in forming an organization by means of which they can be attended to systematically. A meeting of all thoee interested in the matter will soon be called for the purpose and it is hoped that plans will unfold for a successful organization. Snch an organization, similar to the one which accomplished so much good in Indianapolis under the leadership of the late Key. O. C. McOulloch, would prevent any misapplications of funds which heretofore have been unavoidable. The nest meeting

of the olub will be S. C-. Campbell.

A Ridiculous Bill.

into the

A bill has been introduced legislature declaring that after 1894 no one shall be eligible to the office of county superintendent who does not hold a professional teachers' license from the State board of education, or a license of higher character in the eyes of the Slfite board. The bill is ridiculous on the face of it. Take this county for example. There are only two persons in this co iuty who hold the required license. Good superintendents by the score would be barred by it and -duchtiooiil matters turned topsy turvev all over the State. The bill was prepared in the interest of the very few who hold the licenses mentioned and who are no bettor qualified as a rule than scores of others.

Deny the Soft Impeachment. The reported marriage of C. A. Elliott and Miss Jennie Kyle proves to have been a fake of the first water. Both evening papers published the marriage notice, but this morning received notice from both alleged bride and groom that there is nothing in it. The Jocknal takes pleasure in setting the thing right. The report had been in circulation for some days previous to publication and no publication was made until it was ^warranted by one who seemed to be, and who certainly should have been, an authority on the subject The whole thing now appear! to have been a joke.

Dr. Ooulter After Gore.

The State University asked the legislature for $150,000 this year and the committee has reported favoring the ontting down of the request to a mere 350,000. Purdue's request is cut down only half. Dr. Coulter received word of the state of affairs at noon to-day and left at once for Indianapolis to protest. There is but little doubt now that he will forsake the sinking ship at Bloomington for Lake Forest University, where some inducements are offered to men of brain. Wrestling with aHooBier legislature is lige wrestling^with a mule.

Heavily Pined.

Last night two small boys were discjvered by Mayor Bandel on the streets in un intoxicated condition. Ho had them arrested and this morning they were brought up before his milk white throne.and asked to state where they obtained their liquor. They complied with the request and in less than half an hour Charley Peters, of the notorious Market street joint, was under arrest. He was fined 820 and costs in each case amounting in all to $58.80. This will be a warning to those who persist in selling to Illinois.

Freshman-Sophomore Entertainment Everybody will be pleased to hear that the Freshman and Sophomore classes have so far asserted their manliness and good sense as to abolish their predecessors, semi-barbaric manner of of celebration. Former classes have greatly harmed the reputation of Wabash by their lawlessness upon the 22d and this step which the classes of '95 and '96 have taken deserves the hearty snpport of every one. This new custom should be greeted at Music Hall by a crowded house.

The Fiskeville Case.

Siipt. Zuck this morning gave his decision in the case of Elmer Hobson, the teacher of the Fiskeville school, against whom complaint wns made by L. J. Coppage on the ground of incompetency and cruelty. Mr. Zuck retained Mr. Hobson, stating that he had the ability and would doubtlees in future conduct a good school. It is a dangerous precedent for a teacher to be dismissed except for the gravest reasons. Mr. Hobson was, however, censured for some of his conduot, particularly for refusing to allow children to go out during school hours. Also for his rough treatment of Master Joe Coppage, contrary to his father's expressed wishes. Mr. Zuck held that Mr. Coppage was free from blame in the matter and that Clay and Joe Coppage were as good as the average school children. He found that

Glenn was troublesome but should have b?rn suspended instead of chokrri f,)r Lis misdemeanors.

Difficulties of Our Language. "H is unusual for a person who g-ocs into foreign country after he Ins grown to adult years to acquire the language of that country well enough to conceal his alien oripin, but there are exceptions. There is a (Jerman in Xew York," says the Sun of that city, "who has been here only six years who speaks English without a traeo of accent, although lie never studied the tongue until he arrived in America. A professor of French in this city says that Englishmen and Americans'betray themselves more by stress on the letter I when they try to talk his language than in any other way. Frenchmen arc more 'stumped' by the sound of th than by anything else in English. One nf them who declared that he could pronounce anything in our tongue, was asked to say "Theophilus Tliistlethwaite.' He threw up his hands and exclaimed: 'Ah, barbarian!' This sound Is trying to the Germans likewise, and one of the early things in Puck, when that was a German paper, was a series of pictures representing a Teutonic waiter twisting his neck and cracking his teeth in theattempt to bay 'thanks.'"

INSURANCE AGAINST BORES.

One Form of Imposition, ut I.east, Has Found Iveuiotly. From London comes news of the organ iza tion of aSocial Demands Insurance company. The society arises out of the question that each man and woman puts to himself: "How much can I give without seeming shabby?" when' asked to give money to objects for which they have no sympathy, but to which tradition or some sense of reciprocity obliges contribution.

There are always restless people about getting up statues, testimonials, anniversary gifts, from silver dinr.er services down to quill pens, whom one wishes in Jericho, but are impossible refuse. To thus lighten these needles burdens of life comcs the Social Demands Insurance company.

According to a writer in the London Times this society, on receipt of a ,,ubscription graduated according to li income and needs of the mc.r.meys, will transact for them the whole Ousinesson the cheapest possible scaie. Tne society will not be afraid of being called shabby, having no corporal delicacy of feeling.

Members (who have paid in their subscriptions) will merely send to the secretary each week thoir social begging letters. The society, doing a ready money business, can easily bu_v in bankrupt stock of clocks, epcrgnes, bric-a-brac, silver, books. Thus it will be aide to furnish suitable presents at reduced prices.

The London society goes far in engaging a staff of sculptors, ghosts, impressionist pail ters. in acquiring a collection of painters' misfits that can be easily altered to suit the occasion, and other artistic refuse that may be utilized at reasonable terms

The subscription of a duke, for example, to the Social Demands Insurance company is put at £10 !()s, while a person of letters would not be charged more than 0s. 8d.

In this country, until the tariff is reduced, the subscription-of the rich men ranking with the English dukes would be approximately $70, while write™ would bo pro]xrtionate]y charged not more than f'2 a year. These sums, however, are initiation fees, and engage only the services of the society. Moneys paid out would have to be subsequently reimbursed.

EXPLORATIONS IN THE ARCTIC.

Mason -sin i.'.tt yfiy usil1Liu "Liuverse' about as readily as almost any largo body of water lying southward, while its earliest seasonal passage can be predicated with a precision almost akin to mathematical calculation. The hard pack ice, which has accumulated as the result of the winter's frost, and has toan extent been held together through the large bergs which are here and there scattered through It., usually shows the fli-st'sign ol weakness between July 15 and

20.

Large cakes or pans of ice have

by that time succumbed to the powerful oceanic currents that are directed against them, and, detaching themselves from the parent mass, float off to find new havens of their own. The weakening process continues until most of the ice has been either removed or melted awav, and before the close of the fourth week of July little beyond shore ice (shore pan) remains to indicate the barrier which but a few days before rendered a passage all but impracticable. The trend of the ice is northwestward through the bay, then westward to the American side, and finally south to the open sea. It was the purpose of the relief expedition to reach the southern boundary of the Melville bay pack on or about the 2flth of the month, and there watch the movements of the ice until the opportunity for action arrived. An earlier traverse might possibly have been made through persistent "butting" of the ice, but the dangers incidenttothis form of navigation were such as to render slowness a prudent measure of safety.

RHODE ISLAND'S ODD CUSTOM.

Th« Election of Black Governor In the Old Colonial Days. A.rollicking time in Rhode Island in the old colonial days was the election of the "Black Governor," desciibed in the New England Magazine. After the white people had elected the governor of the state, the slaves had a curious custom of gathering together on the third Saturday in June and electing a black governor. To this election the negroes went in fr \. style, on Narragansett pacers, with their wives

When all 1' gathered together, the vote was takti by the opposing parties forming into two long lines, with the respective cand'riat the head the lines were then counted, and the longest line elected its w^ndidate. After the election a supper and dance were given, for which the white owner of the newly elected bin..: governor had to pay. The last election of a slave governor was held in IfeOO, but the custom of "Nigger 'Lection" day did not die out through New England until many years later.
