MOUNT WINS.
The Jmlge. Award the Money to tlie Man from Shannondale.
The public never tires of a college oratorical eontest as was attested by the large number which attended the twenty-second Baldwin prize contest at Center church last evening. It was' necessary to open the Sunday school room to accommodate them. The music was furnished by Mrs. A. B. Anderson and Miss Josie Stihvell. The first speaker of the evening was II. B. llostetter, of this city, who put in "A Plea for Party Government,'' »s the only safe and conservative method of managing republics. C. A. Cloud, of Chili. Ind., followed him with au eloquent description of "The Ideal American Orator and Statesman." "The Future of American Government," was ably handled by the 'successful speaker, II. N. Mount, of Shannondale. who is a son of Hon. James A. Mount. F. M. Sliaukliu's subject was "America's War Claim," under which he made a bold stand against prodigality in pensions, using principally the arguments of Grover Cleveland. The last speaker was J. A. McKee, of Remington, whose subject, ."Personal Responsibility of City Government," gives an idea of the trend of his speech. lie thought the solution of bad city government lay in the active participation of the best men in politics. The name of G. T. Moore and his subject. "Saul of Tarsus," appeared on the programme but he was excused from speaking. Prof. Chapman presided over the exercises, announcing the speakers and during the absence of the judges amused the audience with a rendition of "A Winter Courtship." The decision of the judges, Hon. D. P. Baldwin, founder of the prize. Dr. C. L. Thomas and Judge E..C. Snyder, was received with applause and gave general satisfaction. The prize consists of the interest on SoOO, which heretofore has been $40, but owing to the lower rates which now prevail, it amounted to but S35 this year. An unusual feature of the contest was the absence of applause after each speaker.

The play of the "Irish Janitor." given in the aFiskville school last night was one of the best home talent performances in the history of the city. The place was jammed by an enthusiastic audience and Keplar's orchestra furnished the sweetest of music. The only disturbance was the giving away of the bench occupied by Manager Townslev, of Music Hall, who was present with an eye to booking the attraction. The performers were all excellent in their parts and the following is the cast of characters:
Jennie McWhack, "The Irish Janitor, with specialties GleuCoi Kate Hell, the school Miss. .Miss Bertha 1 Mrs. Grump, an irate and complaining parent. Eflie Elmore Mrs. Undertow, acquainted with her husband's affairs Miss Lena Elliott Marly Undertow, betweui love and duty

Scholars, supes, etc., by themselves. Miss Effie Elmore brought the house down as Mrs. Grump. and Joe Coppage as her little son Johnnie was too cute for anything. Miss Mattie Boraker sustained the part of Marley Undertow with characteristic expression and energy. (Ilen Coppage impersonated the Irish Janitor in his inimitable style and was generously encored on every specialty introduced. He also sustained the character of Harinon, and made some quick changes in costume. Miss Bertha Elliot as the school Miss, conducted her part with such success that that she would be taken as a first class school teacher. Joseph Courtney as ndertow, the principal member of the school board, was a strong character throughout. Chas. Burroughs as Cipher and William Misli as Trueblood added weight and dignity to the board and sustained a dignit}* far above their years. Miss Lena Elliott as Mrs. Undertow showed that she "knew all about her husband's affairs'5 in admirable style. Miss Annie Elliott played the character of Minnie Trueblood and proved a fine player as a friend of the school Miss. Miss Lula Kepler as Miss
Hulda'IIardwick was a fine character and a very "accurate pupil." Tab Bur roughs as Amelia Fattie had eaten specially large supper and was as fat as it was possible to be, and brought the house down when he smiled on llulka Hardwick.

SWEET WILD ROSE.
lie u«u on' the Local Freight anil Into nil In the Short Spuce of Five Minute*.
This morning1 the police received word from Lafayette to arrest a young lady from Lafayette who would arrive here from Lafayette on the local Monon freight. When the freight came in a young lady got off who fairly took the breath of Marshal Brothers, who was there expecting to pull some red-uosed representative of the demimonde. The young lady alighting was richly but modestly dressed and decidedly "a beaut." She had soft brown hair and great big melting brown eyes. She was mighty pretty to be sure, and when the gallant Marshal arrested her he took off his hat and wiped a tear from his eye with a black bordered handkerchief he uses only at funerals and hangings. The oung lady collapsed when told she was "wanted," and allowed considerable of the briny to flow on the way to the jail. She was not locked up there in a cell, but kept in the. office where she was seen by TIIE JOURNAL before noon. She was told that she was wanted in Lafayette for hooking a dress and made the following hysterical statement, "Why. the horrid old thing! 1 mean Mrs. Beemer, the dressmaker. She was to make my dress for .".30 and I had paid her nearly all and called last night to pay the rest but she wasn't there. I couldn't wait but was going to mail it to her. I live in Jamestown and was visiting Rev. Webb and family in Lafayette. Mrs. lSeemer is a horrid old thing so she is. wrapped the dress up for me Thursday herself and said I could pay for it whenever I got ready."
The young lady was taken back to Lafayette this afternoon by a captain of police who said she was wanted for petit larceny. rV special to TUE JOUUNAI. from Lafayette this afternoon says: "A young lady giving the name of Rose Haywood Erbright went to the home of Mrs. Beemer. a well known dressmaker here, leaving material for a dress, to have it made. When the dress was finished yesterday the young lady called for it, sa3'ing she was a niece of George P. Haywood, the well known attorney, and that if Mrs. Beemer would send some one with her to Haywood's residence she would pay the charges, §10.95. Mr. Beemer accompanied her, and says that upon arriving at the house she rang the bell, was admitted by a young boy, leaving Mr. B. on the outside, walked straight through the house and escaped by the back door. It was also learned that she obtained a pair of slippers at Patrick Letley's shoe store, presenting an order signed by Mrs. 'Haywood, but which is pronounced a forgery.
HOW CON OFFENDED ODINCY.
He Intimated that the Almighty Knew More than the Massachusetts Man.
The Washington correspondent of the Chicago News tells the following: The newspapers announce that Con W. Cunningham, of Crawfordsville, Indiana, has been appointed imnii grant inspector at Port Huron, Mich, which is a source of gratification to his many friends. Mr. Cunningham is a native of Belfast. Ireland, and has a brogue as broad as the Irish channel. He is a Democrat from the soles of his boots up. He has made considerable money as a contractor and always divides what he gets with the Democratic campaign committees. He can be depended upon always to do anything that is required of him in the way of political service and does not have to be asked a second time. Shortly after March 4 Mr. Cunningham came to Washington with the ambition to go back to the old folks at his native place as consul of the United States, and a pocket full of recommendations. He first called upon Senator Voorhees, who received him cordially and instructed him to go to the State department and file his papers with Mr. Quincy. 'You tell him who you are and what you want," said the Senator, "and I'll go up this afternoon and talk to him myself."
Con started for the State department and in a counle of hours returned to Mr. Voorhees' room. "Well," said the Senator, "how did you get on with Quincy?"
Cunningham then descrioed what had occurred at the department, and in the course of his narration said: "I said to Mr. Quincy: 'God Almighty knows what I have done for the Democratic party.'" "Stop now," exclaimed Voorhees. "That settles it. You won't get the place. Go down to your hotel, get your grip, pay your bill and go home. You have given Qnincy mortal offense and he will never recognize you again He will never forgive the suggestion that even the Almighty knows more about politics than he does."
The Benefit ltecltal.

Bright Spring Days.
The spring should be pre-eminently a seasou of contentment, happiness and hope. In these bright and pleasant months the country should enjoy its highest degree of tranquility and pros perity. But spring it is well known is often a period of discomfort and disturbance in the ph3'sical system. Important organs of the body become torpid or irregular in their-action, and the fact Instantly reflected in the men tal condition of the individual, A disordered liver means disordered nerves and a dull and unsteady brain. Anything which will bring the physical system into harmony with budding Nature confers an enormous benefit upon the nation, besides the mere allaying of physical discomfort. Hood' Sarsaparilla does this, as thousands of grateful and happy men and women can testify, and increased use of this standaid spring medicine is of more real practical importance in promoting health and quiet in the busines worlti than reams of abstract theorizing.
Bilious Colic Prevented.
Persons who are subject to attacks of bilious colic can almost invariably tell, by their feelings, when to expect an attack. If Chamberlain'B Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy is taken as soon as these symptoms appear,they can ward off the disease. Such persons should always keep the Remedy at hand, ready for immediate use when needed. Two or three doses at the right time will save them much suffering.

Last evening in the county poor farm died poor old Tom Wells, whose life was lived in vain.
From all accounts he was born in Europe about 1810 but came an infant to this country with his parents who settled at Brattleboro, Vt. They were people of refinement and means and Tom was given the advantages of a liberal education. He was a brilliant student and was especially distinguished for oratory. He enjoyed the honor of having once defeated the afterwards distinguished statesman, Stephen A. Douglas in an oratorical contest at the academy which they were both attending. When the Mex ican war broke out young Wells en listed and served through it. He also served through the civil war. He had lived in Clarke township, this county, for many years, but he never rose to the eminence to which his genius entitled him. Strong drink was his ruin and the man of brilliant parts met his living death in the curse of the cup. He was polished, refined, educated. He was a gentleman of kindly heart and superior mind but he lived in the low estate to which a vicious appetite consigned him. ne was fond of books and could quote long passages from the standard authors. He was a brilliant conversationalist and a scholar. He never married but lived estrayed from the life and society for which he was fitted by instinct and education. His life is a warning.
