A Pretty Home Weddina 011 South Washington Street Last Evening. About sixty invited guests assembled at the home of Mr. and Mrs. N. E. Myers,on soutliWaphington street, Wednesday to witness the marriage of Miss Mary May Myers and Mr. Charles S. Kritz, of Waveland. The rooms of the residence were elaborately and becomingly decorated with potted plants of various varities and cut flowers, the effect produced being beautiful and artistic. It was 8:30 o'clock when Prof. Eddie Brandkamp, who presided at the piano, began playing the Lohengrin wedding march, to which the bride and groom, unattended, entered by the east door into the back parlor, where the marriage ceremony wus performed by Rev. Everett I?. Thomson. The bride, a very pretty and eugaging young lady, was moBt becomingly arrayed in an Empire gown of blue crepe dechene, en traine. The gown was trimmed with ribbons of a corresponding color. The ceremony was beautifully impressive and was the simple form of the Westminster ritual. Immediately upon the conclusion of the ceremony the guests proceeded to the dining room, where an elaborate and delicious collation was served. The decorations in the dining room were profuse and beautiful. The tables were adorned with candelabra and bowls -of exquisite flowers, violets, roses and carnations predominating. From the chandeliers broad bands of heavy white ribbon extended to the several corners where they were caught in loops and fastened with bunches of violets. The favors to the guests were violets tied with dainty ribbons. After the refreshments were served congratulations were extended and the remainder of the evening passed in a very delightful manner. The presents were very rare and costly ones and included some very exquisite and useful articles. Mr. and Mrs. Kritz leave for their future home in Waveland this evening, where

Mr. Kritz is engaged in a large and lucrative business. They take with them the best wishes of a host of friends and acquaintances. Mr. Ivritz is an exemplary young man, and is more than well acquainted here, having served some time as principal of thecitv high schools when he endeared himself to many hearts. The young lady whom he won as his wife has been one of Crawfordsville's most fascinating young ladies and will prove a most desirable acquisition to Waveland society. Those from out of the city attending the wedding were, W. O. Myers and- wife, Indianapolis Rev. R. V. Hunter and wife, Terre Haute A. J. Kleiser and wife, 0. H. Johnson and wife, J. W.

Murphy, the Lafayette Rioter Given His Medicine This Morning. Special to the Journal

LAFAYETTE, Iud., April 5.—The jury in the case of Bartholomew Murphy, accused of the attempted assassination of the ex-Priest Rudolph, was found guilty by the jury which rendered its verdict to the court this morning. Murphy was given two years in the Northern penitentiary and fined $1,000. The verdict is considered, by the law abiding element, a just one. On the first ballot the jury stood 10 to 2 for conviction and all agreed on guilty on the second ballot. Several ballots were ta&en on the question of punishment, some wanting to send him up for eight years. It was 0 o'clock this morning before the verdict was finally decided ujjon.

Views of Engineer W^ugh. A short time ago we interviewed City Engineer Waugh on the subject of a sanitary survey and sewerage. Ho is heartily in favor of them. "Of course," said he, ':\ve need paved streets but then we can live without them a little longer as wo have done in the past. But the sewerage question is going to be a serious mattar long before street paving ip. If something is not done in the direction of a radical change in the disposition of sewerage this town will be in an awful shape within a very few vears. As it is now I wouldn't drink water from the average Crawfordsville well. There is too much liability of contamnation from cess pools and ciry wells, nil of which go to the layer of gravel which underlies the town. If w?.d not for the water works water we would have an immense amount of sickness here."

We hope soon to publish an article from Mr. Waugh setting forth his views more in detail. We shall also have the pleasure of placing before our readers the views of Dr. J. N. Taylor, of the State Board of Health, Dr. R. J. Cunningham, Prof. J. L. Campbell, Dr. E. H. Cowan and many others whose opinions are always interesting.

Death of Samuel 8. Harris.

The remains were taken to New Ross Wednesday where the funeral ooourred Thursday morning at ten o'clock. Interment at Union. Mr. Harris leaves two daughters and three sons to mourn his loss. He was a good old gentleman and his death is one to be regretted.

NICH0LS0N-KENY0N.

The Marriage of Mr. T. ±5. Nicholson and Miss Anna Kenyon Solemnized at Center Ohuroh To-day

B. Johnston and A. A. McCain on the east side and Messrs. Bert Ramsey and J. A. Greene on the west. Promptly at the appointed time Mrs. A. B. Anderson, who olliciated at the pipe organ, began playing the Mendelssohn wedding march to which the wedding party en'ered. The bride entered by the east door and was preceded by Messrs. Johnson and McCain. By the west door Mr. Ramsey entered and was followed to the altar by the groom who was attended by Mr. Greene. The bride and groom took thoir stations directly before the altar while the ushers ranged themselves on either side. During the ceremony the Lohengrin wedding march was played softly. The bride looked unusually beautiful in gown of gray crepe trimmed with two shades of purple violets. She wore a copote of violets but carried no flowers. The groom and ushers wore the customary black suits and white rose buds. The ceremony was performed by Dr. R. J. Cunningham in a most solemn and impressive manner, the Westminster ritual being used throughout. Immediately upon the conclusion of tLe ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Nicholson turned and passed out at the west aisle followed by the ushers.

At the church door they took a carriage and were driven to the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wiley Kenyon, where a wedding dinner was served to the immediate families of the bride and groom. At five o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Nicholson left for Fort Wayne via Indianapolis. They

vwill

remain in

Fort Wayne for at least three months, Mr. Nicholson's business calling him to that place temporarily. Although the wedding was a church wedding the presents to the happy couple were both numerous and beautiful, including many valuaole and costly articles. The con gratulations of a large circle of warm friendB attend Mr. and Mrs. Nicholson, Both are extremely popular and their union can be considered but as a happy one in any light in which it may be viewed. THE JOURNAL takes great pleasure in extending its best wishes and congratulations.

Returned to Hoosierdom.

Lew Wallace and his wife returned to Indianapolis at noon to-day from Ashe ville, N. C., where they have been spend ing the winter. Mr. Wallace appears to be a picture of rugged health. He says that he never felt better in his life, and that now that his book is off his hands, he is beginning to appreciate the value ioned college—has a of re

He did not care to talk much about his new work, "The Princc of India, Why Constantinople Fell," but said that it, WHS about 1 '20 pages larger than "Ben Hur." The work has demanded exten sive research and has occupied all of his time 01 the past five years. The book do«H not depend for its interest upon re ligiouu history, except in the parts where it explains the separation of the Greek and Latin churches, which in the jolot as

necessary incidents whole. Mr. Wallace is extremely glad to return to Indianapolis, where he says he will remain all summer, unless called East by his publishers. He is now employed in rending and correcting the proofs of his book, which will probably issue from the press of Harper Bros, in about two months.—Indianapolis Neivs

iJunkin-Ooon,

At (he residence of the bride's mother, near Wingate, Montgomery county, on the evening of March 30, Joseph L. Dunkin and Ida M. Coon were united in marriage by Rev. R. J. Zuck. The rooms were handsomelv decorated with flowers and evergreens. Loving hands had transformed one corner of a room into a bower, where the young couple stood during the ceremonv. Above their heads the decorations consisted of two hearts blended together. A large number of guests were present and after the knot was securely tied all were served with a bountiful supper. The favors were daisies and rose buds tied with white ribbon. Many warm congratulations followed during the evening and all went "merry as a marriage bell." On the following evening a host of friends were entertained at the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Dunkin, parents of the groom, in Fountain county. Here the young couple are to make their home. The groom is an industrious farmer, and his bride is held in high esteem by her associates. Long may they live to enjoy happiness and prosperity. z.

In this address Dr. Burroughs gives

nnrl i/iniiln nn/i isl I rmtAnlt mn rt

and ideals, and plainly foreshadows the

admirable the root of the matter is in Dr. Bur roughs' confession of theory and promise of practice that it embodies wise conservatism and sensible progress in purpose and method.

The key-note of the whole address iB the power of personal contact in education, and disciplined character as the chief end in view of all school and college training. The teacher makes the school and makes the college not textbooks, apparatus, laboratories and museums. These are only implements and helps to the hand of the master thoy are only the dry bones, till the teacher makes them the means of life. James A. Garfield once said that his idea of a college was President Mark Hopkins at one end of a log and a young man at the other. That was reducing the idea of a college to its simplest necessary elements a true teaoher and a willing student. Dr. Hopkins was rich in the knowledge and experience, and great in the power, that go to the making of a man. His purpose was not so much to make students scholars aB to make them wholesome men scholarship was not uu end in itself, it was a means to an end. The end was a disciplined mind, a wellbalanced and well-anchored character, a manly and courageous self-control.

President Anderson of Rochester (now gone to his reward), wrought on the same lines, and no sincere young man ever bade adieu to his class-room without bearing the impress of his noble molding in permanent effect upon his character. So all truly great teachers from Socrates down have taught more by the weight of their character, by the force of the genuine manhood in them, than by reason of their profound special erudition or vast resources of general information. Marcus Aurelius, in speaking of his tutors, recalls not what knowledge they gave him, but what moral quality of theirs most impressed him. l)r. Burroughs is in harmony, therefore, with the best thought of the ages when he emphasizes the personal quality in the teacher- Not infrequently this has been slighted not infrequently trustees and school committees act on the theory that any one who knows can teach, knowledge is only one part of the true teacher's equipment. There must be character there must be the quality that develops character in others.

uu..u

Dr. Burroughs does well in insisting that the American college—the old fashright to live, has still a large place in our educational economy. He has no sympathy, we are glad to see, with those who would Germanize it. Let it develop, he says, and so say we, on American lines so doing it will be in harmony with American needs. He sees clearly that its danger is from the specialist, who is wholly ab sorbed in his own work who believes enthusiastically that the world has no other work quite so important. There is not much room for the ppocialist in the college his work should be subordinated to the main purpose. The college is not to make specialists, but to give all-round culture.

At the same time Dr. Burroughs recognizes that the day of the single hard and fast course of "study has gone by. The college and the school must have many courses just because there are all kinds of minds. What is best for one iB not best for another. But the end and purpose of all courses is the same, to produco trained minds, instructed minds, and above all disciplined wills, educated self-control—in a word, men and women. And in all things, Dr. Burroughs urges, let UB be honest with ourselves, with our pupils, with the world. It we have short cuts, let us not pretend they are anything else. If we give degrees, let them mean just what thev sav thev mean.

Honesty, sincerity! This is good wholesome doctrine good not for colleges and schools only but for all the world. If it is the informing principle of work at Wabash, we shall haye no fear that the future of the college will fail to realize the promise its past justifies, no doubt but that it will grow constantly into greater usefulness and power.

Married.

Wednesday at the residence of Dr. Boraker Clinton A. Williams and Miss Letitia Roult were quietly married by Rev. J. W. Stafford. Both are worthy and popular young people and their many friends extend congratulations. They will go to housekeeping at once on the farm of tho groom.

GEN. WALLACE IN OINUINNATI.

Talks Shy of His New Book—He Discusses Bavard's Position as Ambassador, The Cincinnati Tribune announces that Gen. Lew Wallace arrived at the Grand Hotel last night, en route to his home in Crawfordsville, from a winter's sojourn at Asheville, N. C. He war accompanied by hiB wife. The two left early this morning for their home. The Tribune says the last days of the General's stay at Asheville were occupied by reading the proof of his forthcoming

novel, "The Prince of India or, Why Constantinople Fell." The work is to bo issued in two volumes, and will be ready for sale about midsummer. Authors are said to regard their latest productions much as a father does his youngest child—with just a little deeper affection than iB manifested toward the older offspring—but Gen. Wallace is disposed to think an author incapable of property judging his own work, consequently lie declines to express an opinion of "The Prince of India."

A query diverting the conversation to another channel, General Wallace said: "The elevation of the rank of the United States' representatives in foreign countries without a corresponding increase in salary, as has been effeoted, is a most ridiculous proceeding. While the official duties of a Minister and an Ambassador are identical, it is incumbent on an Ambassador t,o discharge obligations not expected of a Minister. For instance, an Ambassador entertains frequently and elaborately and the remuneration of suoh officials should be fixed in contemplation of the enormous expense of suoh pastimes. The European Ambassadors at Constantinople command very large salaries and are allowed entertainment funds by their respective Governments, which are equal to three times the BalarieB of American

Ministers. Apart from this, Ambassadors are provided with two palaces each—one in the country, the other in the Capital. Think of the figure an American Ambassador would cut with the salary ho draws in the midst of men whose Government settles all bills. Unless Ambassador Bayard opens his private purse, as Whitelaw Reid did at Paris, he will wish he had never heard of an Ambassador before he quits England. He will be subjected to infinite humiliation if he depends on his salary.

General Wallace remarked, near the end of the interview, that he had in his mind the groundwork of six novels yet unwritten,

Democrut, living at Kirk-

But pitrick, came over here a few days ago armed with the proper implements of his office and his appointment aB postmaster at Kirkpatrick. After skirmishing he Bucceedded in getting the necessary sureties for a bond of $500, then took the oath as postmaster. He then appointed a good true blue Republican,

L. L. Brown, aa his assistant. Just then he discovered the fact that he certainly had left the party,as his assistant, sureties and notary were Republicans. Wes said ho supposed there would be a kick at Kirkpatrick but he was Burprised when ho received a letter from Bill Johnston informing him that he must take back his appointment. He says if anybody takes back it will be the other side, for unless he can run the office he won't have it. Now, Wes thinks about as much of the office as Cieveland does of Orin Stingley or Campbell. We will bet them' that as Kirkpatrick owns the town and all adr joining he has his way of it. So waris certain at Kirkpatrick.

Jacobs' Libel Case Dismissed. F. W. Jacobs became angry in the circuit court Thursday and dismissed tho libel ouit, for $2,000 which he had brought against the Fellowship committee of the Univeraalist church of Indiana. Tho case resulted in some lively epats between Mesbers Ballard and Jacobs who called each other liars until the court had to interfere. Baliard accused Jacobs of changing the date of an important letter and Jacobs accusea^Ballard of all sorts of crookedness. it was nuts for tho attornevs who sat about and chuckled at the unique manner in which the scripture was expounded and the witnesses impeached. The case had no general importance, however, and had already absorbed too much time before it was dismissed.

The Tracy Estate Again.

Mrs. Malinda Biddle, one of the plaintiffs in the late suit among the heirs of the late Bazil Tracy, has brought suit against the other heirs and Crane

Anderson for a fourth share of the 87,000 cash to be distributed among the heirs. When the other suit was compromised it was decided that the money should be divided among the heirs in proportion to what each one had received from Bazil Tracy prior to his death. This would out down the share of Mrs. Biddle very materially and she now sues to have the money divided otherwise.
