trio go to meet iter on her return and led the children to the bridge where Barbara was sent back home. Mrs. Skaggs continued on her way with Alice and meeting with one of her neighbors,

called out, "Well. I've got her now and will keep her." The child grasped the situation at once when these words were spoken and began to yell with all her might that she was being stolen. Mrs. Skaggs at once picked her up and galloped off with her to her stronghold on east Franklin 6treet. On the way she encountered little Harry Moran, (he whose head stopped the freight train six weeks ago) and he tried to stojJ her. Nothing daunted she charged, and completely vanquishing him, proceeded on her way routing and scouting all opposition with no trouble whatever. When Mrs. Moran returned there were wailing and gnashing of teeth, a donning of sack cloth and asken, and a girdling tip of loins, such as is rarely seen on the contemplated boulevard. The signs being consulted and the auspices proving favorable Mrs. Moran lost no time but seconded by the vanquished Harry she at once proceeded against Castle Skaggs. .As she approached there was a hurrying to and fro. The neighbors leaned over their fences and lustily cheered the charging cohorts on. Mrs. Skaggs grabbed up Alice from her peaceful construction of mud pies her inside the castle walls. was hard upon her heels, before she imcl time to raise the draw bridge or close the postern gate the claws of Moran had charged across the moat, entered the castle, seized sweet Alice, and Harry, assuming the role of young Locliinvar. retired in good order without the loss of a single life or limb. The wide border land along the Motion railroad was crossed in safety and before Alice knew what was the matter she was reinstated in Moran manor much to her joy.

The Sunday School Convention Turns In and Roasts Society Sharks. June 12 was a great day in Isreal and the Sunday School convention, while the attendance was small was an enthusiastic and stirring one. The discussions were all animated and some remarkable interest. In the afternoon the subect of social amusemei ts came up and if the young society people of Crawfordsville did not feel their left ears burning, the old old manner of telling when some one is speaking evil of you is simply no good. Card playing "and dancing were roastedunmerciftiily anddeclared to be among the giant evils of the time. The gay commencement season was severely criticized and the dancer and card player were both well nigh ex-communicated. Several good parents who were present twisted about uneasyily when the homes which tolerated these practices were roundly roasted and a number of others looked pale about the gills. Rev. G. W. Switzer led discussion and all the speakers seemed to be of one mind. Card jilaying and dancing were relegated by the convenvention to the gallery of unpardonable fains. A number of persons present got quite happy and loud "aniens" were frequent when a good point was scored. jL'he election of oilicers which was held shortly before the adjournment resulted resulted as follows: Pres. J. A. Mount, sec. and treas., T. N. Myers: district vice-pres., L. J. Coppage. 1st. T. C. Shanklin. 2nd George Seybold, 3rd Franklin Cox, 4th: township vice-pres., Thomas Bowles, Coal Creek: Vela Westfall, Wayne Charles Rountree, Ripley J. B. Evans, Brown W. R. Childers, Scott Daniel Remley, Walnut A. M. Scott, Clark W. D. Peebles, Franklin Garret Snyder, Sugar Creek James Wilson. Madison. J. A. Mount was elected representative to the State Convention and David Harter alternate.

Elder 0. P. Badger.

The following resolution was j^assed at the Christian Missionary Convention of the 11th Indiana District held in Crawfordsville lastweek:

lii'solved:

That it is with feelings of

sad and sincerd regret this convention has heard of the death of our estimable, devoted and worthy brother, Oliver P. Badger, of Greencastle. whose life was consecrated to the service of his Lord and Master, and the vigor of his manhood sj^ent in proclaiming the pure, sweet, saving gospel of Jesus Christ to his fellowmen, yet we bow in humble submission to the will of Him who doeth all things well, and our hearts go out in sympathy to his bereaved family." ."

nished by the college orchestra. It was the first appearance of this organization I in public and the impression they left with the audience was one calculated to give them a big house to-night. A gang of unruly preps out in the corridor also furnished considerable amusement to the audience during the dreary wait for the decision. They gave all the yells known to Wabash students from the college yell down to the tiny squeal of '96. They also improvised one bringing in the name of Prof. Kritz which created some merriment but the genial professor, nothing daunted, came back at them and created another big laugh.

The preps deserve some credit for the novel manner in which they got up their programmes.

They were tied with the ribons of the class colors, crimson and cream for "95 and light blue and old rose for *96. The class officers of each class and also the class yells were also printed.

TEE COMMENCEMENT SEASON.

President Tuttle Delivers the Baccalaureate Sermon-Other Matters of Interest. Sunday was a scorcher but long before ten o'clock people began to wend their way toward Center church and when the hour for services had arrived both the lecture room and chapel were filled. The rustle of fans and shrill whispers, the commingled perfumes of about fifty brands of French scents, the new bonnets, the light fleecy costumes of the ladies, and the black suffocating costumes of th1 agonized seniors who were on dress parade, all went to make up the customary scene of Baccalaureate Sunday, and while everybody panted and perspired, everybody was good natured and stretched their necks frantically. Promptly at 10:30 o'clock the twenty-three seniors armed with palm leaf fans and looking real sweet marchcd down to the front seats which had been reserved for them. The choir furnished some choice music including a solo by G. F. Hughes, and after the scriptural lesson had been read by Dr. S. E. Wishard, *03, of Ogden, Utah, Dr. Tuttle arose to preach his thirtiethBaccalaureate sermon,his theme being 1st Corinthians, ii', 13. "The fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is."' Dr. Tuttle has the reputation of preaching extraordinarily appropriate and eloquent Baccalaureate sermons and that of Sunday was no exception. The address to the class was particularly touching and each member realized as never before that he stood on the threshold of life with a mighty power in his hand for evil or good. The sermon and addresss were concluded shortly before twelve o'clock and the congregation was dismissed with prayer and benediction by Dr. II. S. Little, '63, of Dennison, Texas. In the evening another large audience assembled to hear the commencement sermon by Rev. Arthur C. McGiffert, Ph. D., of Lane Seminary, Cincinnati. His subject was "The Obligations of Educated Men and Women" and he treated it in a masterly ma nner holding his auditors in spi'te of the heat. He is a young man and seems to thoroughly imbued with modern ideas. At one time he referred to the late Presbyterian assembly at Detroit and without saying so in so many words he left everyone with the impression that he was in hearty sympathy with Dr. Briggs. But the main lesson of the address, that the educated men and women,whether Christian or not, have a duty to perform for their fellow men of the laboring clatses, was strongly presented. Rev. H. S. Inglis closed with prayer and the benediction.

Anniversary Dinner.

The children of Sanford Gray, of Waynetown, takes turns in celebrating his birthday by giving large anniversary dinners. Mr. Gray was 81 years old Sunday and John K. Gray entertained about 200 guests in honor of the event. The occasion was a most happy one and a much larger number of old folks enjoyed the royal feast which was spread before them. The average age of those at the first table was 69 years and of those at the second table 58 years. In the afternoon the guests were made to enjoy themselves in the best possible manner. Speeches were made by Elder Scott and Supt. Ztick and were made happy in their application and nature. The occasion was one of the greatest celebrations ever given in Waynetown and a success in every particular.

A PURITAN SABBATH.

Is Observed at Darlington-Saloons and Stores of All Kinds Closed. Spefial to The Journal.

DARLINGTON. June 15.—For the past y( ar some of the business men of this place including the saloon keepers, have been keeping open every Sunday all day so that it would be difficult in some parts of town to tell what day of the week it was without an almanac. But at the last meeting of the town board that body, backed by a healthy public sentiment, passed an ordinance requiring all business houses to be closed on Sunday. An exception was made of the meat shop which was allowed to dispense its wares to the hungry until eight o'clock. Yesterday this ordinance was strictly observed and the result was a good old-fashioned Puritan Sunday with its quieu and rest, a pleasant relief from the cares of the week. The ordinance further provided that all screens, blinds or curtains should be removed so that no back door business could go on It being the first Sunday a great manv forgot to lay in their supply of eatables on Saturday night so they were a little short on Sunday dinner.

The Grand Concert.

The grand concert given bv the College Glee Club and orchestra at the chapel Saturday night was well attended. The selections of the Glee Club were good and well rendered, the song by the quartette and the solo by Mr. McNutt being especially fine. The orI chestra gave its first entertainment and it should be stated in their behalf that the light was so poor that they were seriously hampered by being unable to read the notes. The music, however, was ravishing. The commingled notes of the stringed instruments and brass horns drew one very near the gates of paradise, and the musty walls of the old chapel spread out before the entranced listeners' vision into lofty battle--lents of gold and pearl over which seemed to float the divine meiody of angel harps, Mr. Gary taking the part of arch angel and Henry Little and the

Glee Club the part of Cherubim and Seraphim. After the concert the Glee Club got into a picnic wagon and driving around the city serenaded a number of young ladies and were treated every place. The following is the list of young ladies favored: Mis Anna Milligan Miss Bertha Marshall and guest: .Miss Kittie Campbell Misses Maude Cowan and Maynette Wolfe: Miss Anna H. Kent, of Shelbyville Miss Anna Willson and guest Miss Lyde Roberts, of Charleston, 111., Miss Randal, of Logansport Miss Maude McMechan Miss Jessie Thompson the Misses Binford Miss Mayme Somerville and guest, Miss Bertha Crouse, of Lafayette: Miss Gallic Travis, of Grand Rapids Miss Nellie Con tan t: Miss Mayme Smith and Miss Grace Dtinlap, of Danville, 111.
