The collece is well known throughout the country, former students having gone into all parts of the world.

A reporter recently called at this famous .seat of learning and was shown into the room of the president, I'rof. Aivin I'. Barnaby. When last seen by the reiwrter l'rof. Barnaby was iu delicate health. To-day he was apparently in the best of health. In response to an inquiry the I'rofessor said: -Oh. yes, I am much better than for some time. I am now in perfect bculrli:

about in rather a peculiar way.'' "Tell me about it," said the reporter. "Well, to begin at the beginning," said the l'rofessor, "I studied too hard when at school, endeavoring to educate myself for the professions. After completing the common course I came here, and graduated from the theological course. I ente"ed the ministry, and accepted the charge of a United Bretihren Church at a small place in Kent County, Michigan. Being of an ambitious nature, I applied myself diligently to my work and studies. In time I noticed that my health was fulling. My trouble was indigestion, and

this with other troubles^brought on nerTousness. "My physician prescribed for me for •ouie time, and advised me to take a change of climate. I did as he requested a.nd was some improved. Soon after, I came here as professor in physics and chemistry, and later was tinancial agent of this college. The change agreed with me, and for awhile my health was better, but my duties were heavy, and again I found my trouble returning. This time it was more severe, and in the winter I became completely prostrated. I tried various medicines and different physicians. Finally, I was able to return to my duties. Last spring I was elected president of the college. Again I had considerable work, and the trouble, which had not been entirely cured, began to nffeet me, and last fall I collapsed. I had different doctors, but none did me any good, l'rof. Bowman, who is professor of natural science, told me of liis experience with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and urged me to give tiean a trial, because they had benefited him in a similar case, und I concluded to try them. "The first box helped me, and the second gave great relief, such as I had never experienced from the treatment of any physician. After usiug six boxes of the medicine I was entirely cured. Today I am perfectly well. I feel better and stronger than for years. I certainly recommend this medicine."

l'n sidenl Mi'KHnley Monday :,ent tin following lllry.s:ii 'c to Coilgres "To th Senate nd House of Heprcsc-n-tatives ol' tin- i'nited Slates: "Official information from our consuls in Cuba establishes the fact that a large I number of American citizens in the island I are in a state of destitution, suffering for want of food and medicines. This applies particularly to the rural districts of the central and eastern parts. "The agricultural classes have been forced from their farms into the nearest towns, where they are without work or money. The local authorities of the several towns, however kindly disposed, are unable to relieve the needs of their own people, and are altogether powerless to help our citizens. "The latest report of Consul- .^neral bee estimates six to eight hundred Americans are without means of support. 1 have assured him that provision would be made at once to relieve them. To that end I recommend that Congress make an appropriation of not less than $50,000 to be immediately available for use unuer the direction of the Secretary of State. "it is desirable that a part of the sum which may be appropriated by Congress should in tlv discretion of the Secretary of State, also be used for the transportation of American citizens who, desiring to return to the United States, are without means to do so.

WILLIAM M'KINLEY.

"Executive Mansion, May 17, 189i." Following the reading of the message in the Senate Mr. Davis introduced the following resolution: "Resolved, By the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States in Congress assembled, that the sum of $50,000 be and the same is hereby appropriated out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated for the relief of destitute citizens of the United States in the island of Cuba, said money to be expended at the discretion and under the direction of the President of the United States in purchasing and furnishing of food, clothing and medicines to such citizens. and for transporting to the United States such of them as so desire and who are without means to transport themselves."

Mr. Davis asked for immediate considera re so on a re a ho objection. The only speech made was that of Mr. Oallinger, who spoke briefly.

The resolution was then put on its I passage, and, without division, it passed unanimously there being no response to the call for the nays. It had taken exictiy eighteen minutes for the reading of 'he message, the presentation of the eommittce report, the brief speeches, the final passage of the resolution.

In the House. Mr: Mitt, of Illinois, asked for the immediate consideration of 1 bill to appropriate $50,000 for the relief of the destitute Americans in Cuba, but Mr. Bailey, of Texas, said that he must object. unless an amendment, embodying Senator Morgan's resolution for recognition of the insurgents, be added. Mr. Dingley objected to the amendment, whereupon Mr. Bailey objected to the bill, and the Cuban question was sidetracked.

IVantfl Big Money For Whipping the Creeks and Asks For Annexation of Thessaly.

The Forte lias replied officially to the note of the powers and declines to agree to an armistice until the following condilions are accepted: The annexation of Thessaly an indemnity of £10,000,000 Turkish, ami the abolition of the capitulations. The I'orts proposes that the plenipotentiaries of the powers should meet at Pharsala to disci,ss the terms of peace, and declares that if these conditions are declined the Turkish army will rontinue to advance. The demand for the annexation of Thessaly is based on the fact that the province was originally ceded to Greece on the advice of the powers, with the object of ending brigandage and Greek incursions into Ottoman territory, the Porte believing at the time that, the cession would attain these objects, but the recent incursions of '.reek bunds and the events immediately preceding the war 1 have proved to the contrary. The ambassadors met at Constantinople yesterday to consider the Porte's answer, which is re a a a is in a re el a issue, it is beieved that representations will be made to the Sultan personally to iftduce a modification of tln-so terms, but it is foreseen that this will be very difficult, owing to the attitude of the powerful old Turk war party.

And the Spaniards Rooted Willi Heavy LoKKes.

A special cable dispatch to the New York Sun from Havana, says: The most Important battle of the Cuban war is believed to be the one which was fought, last week, near Manzanillo, Santiago de Cuba province.

Col. Ruiz was the commander of the Spaniards, who numbered 2,000 men. The Cubans were led by Gen. Rabl and Carlos Garcia. The battle was fought two miles from the town of Manzanillo, and after a whole day's fighting the Spaniards were unable to retire by land to Manzanillo, and had to embark on the steamer Reina do Los Angeles, making their escape by sea. Only 1,300 soldiers were able to catch the steamer under the fire of the insurgents. The rest of the column of Col. Ruiz was killed, wounded or captured. The sensation produced by this news in Havana Is very great.

Reports to the Bureau from all sections of Indiana confirm the reports of last November, that the growing wheat plant was seriously injured in that month. The first severe freezing weather at that time caught wheat in a very tender and growing condition und did it about all the damage it has received. Most of the area during the remainder of the past winter, during periods of hard freezing, was covered with snow. The greatest damage is usually done in March, but that month was a very favorable one for the plant. 1 ho Bureai: has reports on seven crops, the report:-, on the first live being as to the present condition, 100 being a full average the report on area of corn planted, and the same an oats. These reports show the following:

Northern Division- Wheat, 50: Rye, 67.G."! Barley. fiO Meadows S0.2 Pastures, SI.01 Area to corn 100.70 Area to oats, 90.'I7.

Central Division—Wheat, 61.G Rye. 85.06: Barley. 65 Meadows. 'JO.31 Pastures, f0.7S Area to corn, 95.68 Area to oats, 91.57.

Stale Average—Wheat, 60.2 Rye, 72.9 Barley, S5.25 Pastures, 87.47 Area to corn, 96.97 Area to oats, 85.05. 1 he condition of wheat is a few points better than at the same date last year, which was as follows:

Northern Division, 57.9 Central, 52.3 Southern, fd.4 the State average then being 53.8.

Many of the reporters state that in the past week or two wheat has improved rapidly, and that if the balance of the season is favorable, and the plant heads and fills well, several points may yet be recovered, and that the yield may be much better than it now promises, though there can not be a full average iop, for in some sections whole fields I.J\G been plowed and put to other crops.

Itiitaln Buying Argentine Horson. Ine bureau of the American Republics has received reliable information that in the latter part of April a commission composed of fifteen cavalry officers and six veterinary surgeons left England for the city of Buenos Ayres for the purpose of buying a large number of horses in the Argentine Republic to be used in the cavalry service of the English army. The circumstance is regarded as significant only iii the fact of showing the development in that part of the world. It is the first time that any European country has had recourse to the markets of South America for such a purpose. Heretofore the British army has been supplied with horses from the United States and Canada. and to a limited extent from the continent of Europe.

,'rant's Opinion of Butler. licncral Horace Porter, in his "Campaigning With Grant," in the May "Century, says: As a coinn.umdcr General Butler hat! not been General Grant's choice. The Rencral-in-chiel, when lie assumed command of the armies. found Butler in charge of the Department of Virginia and North Carolina, and utilized him to the best advantage possible, lie had always found him subordinate, prompt to obey orders, possessed of great mental activity, and clear in his conception of the instructions given him. He was a good administrative officer, though often given to severe and unusual methods in enforcing discipline, and in dealing with the dissatisfied clement of the population living within his department yet he did not possess the elements necessary to make an efficient officer in the field. As he was inexperienced in fighting battles. Grant felt reluctant to give him charge of any important military movement. One embarrassment was that he was the senior officer in rank in Virginia, and if General Grant should be called away temporarily, Butler would be in supreme command of the operations against Petersburg. The General struggled along under this embarrassment by keeping matters under his own direction when Butler's forces were employed in actual battle, and by sending an experienced corps commander to handle the troops in the immediate presence of the enemy.

I,mw Suit -State ItOlllN.

Oil Men Combining.

Alexandria special: Natural gas men are disturbed over a report that James Boyce, of this city, representing the oil men. has formed a Junction, so to speak, with the Chicago Pipe-line Company, by which the latter company will extend their mains into this vicinity, and will pipe the surplus gas to Chi^-igo. To do this the company will erect separators at the oil wells, and in this way relieve the oil men of possible conflict with the law against waste of gas. The Chicago company is said to be anxious to get into this territory, but until the present time the manufacturers and the gas companies supplying homo needs have ueen successful in keeping it out. Concerning this possible combination of oil men with the Chicago company the Anderson News bitterly expresses itself as follows:

It has Just begun to dawn upon the Indianapolis pipe-line companies that they have committed an egregious blunder in the Ill-conceived plan they have set on foot to bulldoze the oil operators around Alexandria. Instead of acting like intelligent and fair-minded men and recognizing that some one else had a right to be on earth besides the gas men, they have attempted to use the police power contained in a questionable statute to bulldoze the oil speculators into a complete abandonment of the Alexandria field. This act is now recoiling upon the Indianapolis magnates, and as matters begin to unfold themselves it is clear that the oil men have completely outgeneraled them."

Another Wonderful Oil Well. Montpelier special: The Acme Oil Company has brought in a phenomenal well, two miles north of here. It was shot last Friday, and had to be closed until tankage could be procured. On Sunday it was opened again. The roar of escaping gas was so deafening that men could not work about the well. Yesterday a fif-teen-barrel tank was located close at hand, and a donkey pump was placed in

th.t

the derrick, to empty the tank into a larger one. The well made fifteen barrels in ten minutes, or at the rate of ninety barrels an hour.

The great flow of oil continues for a time, and then it is overpowered by the tremendous gas pressure. The gas is blowing into the air through a two-inch pipe. It whistles until it can be heard for two miles. The well is good for four hundred barrels of oil daily. The farmers iu the neighborhood have abandoned work in the fields and spend their time around the new wonder.

».

Lticky Niin Carver.

Alexandria special: Nim Carver owns the farm in Monroe township where the big oil well was recently drilled, and he is one of the defendants in the suit recently instituted to prevent the needless waste of natural gas. Mr. Carver has no doubt but that the law will be declared unconstitutional. Mr. Carver purchased the farm from Major I^ovett, of Anderson, some five years ago, agreeing to pay $7,200. He paid J2.200 cash and gave a mortgage for the remainder. The mortgage fell due one year ago, but owing to the depresseu financial condition of affairs, the holder of the mortgage did not press for payment, and Mr. Carver is now. felicitating himself that the oil will carry him through. Ilis income therefrom already is $25 per day.

A Pauper Sold.

Delphi special: A peculiar sale in the early days of this county was discovered, the other day, in looking over the twenty-second record of the county commissioners' court. On page 118 of the musty old record is found the following: "Sale of pauper. I do hereby certify that on the first day of May, 1843, I sold to William Hains a pauper named Greenberry Applegate for the term of one year, at two dollars and twenty-five cents a week, the county to furnish said pauper with sufficient clothing during said year. R. C. Green, observer of the poor." And then is entered: "Ordered that R. C. Green be allowed for printing notice of sale of pauper one dollar." The Board of commissioners at that time was made up of Barney Davis, David Martin and John Calvert. There are numerous other orders that sales be made, but up to May 1. 1843, this is the only man actually sold. There are few people in the county today who knew of this sale, but it is a fact that Greenberry Applegate was sold on the steps of the old court house at Delphi. »'t,

STATE ENCAMPMENT.

GItANI) AHMY VISTKIt^XS" PAKAI)K AT H1CHMOND A GKKAT KVKNT.

Ciov. Mount and Staff In Kull niform, With the Culver CadetK. Were I'eat nrow of IntereHt.

The State Encampmonl G. A Tt convened at Richmond Tuesday, but not until Wednesday did the people of that city realize the contract they had undertaken to entertain the visiting veterans. The capacity of the hotels was 'tried to the utmost in spite of the lavish hospitality of the citizens of Richmond. The grand parade occurred Wednesday afternoon. Ihe weather was ideal and nothing occurred throughout to mar this annual feature of the encampment. It was acknowledged to bo one of the finest parades the Department of Indiana has ever made. There were several features that deserve special mention. One was Governor James A. Mount and his staff. Tills is a body of fine looking men. who appeared very easy and graceful riding. It': was their first time in the new uniforms, and they attracted much attention. The Governor rode at the head, but with as little ostentation as a private, except that the great repeated cheering compelled him to keep his hat In the air most of the way. The Governor made an excellent Impression. The cadets from Culver Military Academy, at Culver, Ind., which made up a portion of the staff, also won applause from the bystanders for the excellent way in which they handled their horses. The animals were the splendid black ones ridden at the McKlnley Inauguration by the body guard of the chiet executive.

Commander-in-chief Clarkson and his staff were in carriages also Mrs. Agnes Hitt, of Indianapolis, national president of the W. R. C. Past Commander-in-chief I. N. Walker, of Indianapolis Mrs. Mary Sims, president of the Indiana W. R. C. Mrs. Ktta Toby, president of the Indiana Ladies of the G. A. R., and General Lew Wallace and other prominent personages. Commander Caylor and his staff were mounted. It was Mr. Caylor'* desire to walk and touch elbows with the "boys," but he was not allowed to do so. Special conveyances were provided for those who were not able to walk, and the mothers of soldiers and members of the Sanitary Commission. The Hamilton (O.) Rifles, a crack military organization, was another feature of the parade, and the Portland Cadets were also in line

Wednesday night the campfires were held. They were four in number and were held in the four largest halls that could be secured, but which were not sufficient to accommodate the crowds that clamored for admission. At the Philips Opera House Commander Caylor presided at the High School building Past Department Commander A. O. Marsh, of Winchester, presided at the Bradley Opera House Past Department Comamnder James T. Johnston, of Rockvllle, presided, and at the Pythian Temple Comrade T. J. Charlton, of Plalnfield. presided. Especial programs were pro-, pared for each place and included music by the Marion Soldiers' Home Band, recitations by local volunteers, drum solos by W. H. Merslion of Marion, vocal solos by M. V. Strickland of Huntington, sinking by a chorus of twenty voices under the ieider:-hip

Lee T:. Nusbaum, slng-

ig bj- the chorus of the Maennerohor Society, drilis by the Portland High School cadets, songs by a number of little girls from the Knightstown Home and speeches by General AVallace, Governor Mount and others. Carriages were kept in waiting and when the performers were through at one place they were transferred to another.

Fighting In Kptruo.

Notwithstanding the overtures for peace on the part of Greece hostilities continued in Epirus. An all-day battle occurred on Friday in .vhich ti.e Greeks lost 400 men and were badly worsted. Tills is the seventh time the Greeks have attempted to advance to Janina and nave met with a repulse which the Turks have never followed up. Evidently there is something wrong with the Turkish forces at that point. The recent report that a number of officers were taken from Janina to Constantinople in chains may perhaps explain it, or possibly Turkey is holding her forces there through fear of a movement from Bulgaria.

Puerto Cortez Recaptured.

The New York Herald's correspondent in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, telegraphs that after a fierce battle yesterday the government troops succeeded in recapturing the town of Puerto Cortez, a seaport, from the rebels. In the engagement which took place in the city a large number of Insurgents were killed and a few of the government troops lost their lives. The, rebels had many wounded and forty of them were taken prisoners. When the leaders of the- rebellion, who were in Puerto Cortez, realized that they would be unable to hold the ctty, they deserted their troops and escaped to Guatemala.*

Nansen's Fram.

Nansen invented the model of the Fram, making her hull round and slippery, like an eel, with no corners ov sharp edges for the ice to seize upon. She is the strongest vessel ever used in arctic explorations. He said that pressure would simply lift her on the ice, and so her bottom, near the keel, was made almost flat in order that she might not capsize while on the ice surface, and her screw and rudder were also ingeniously protected. The many experts who said her design would not save the Fram from instant destruction were mistaken, for she met these resistless ice pressures, and they merely lifted her out of her cradle, and she rested safely on the surface.
