CRAWFOKDSVILLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, A 1MML

A LARGE RECEPTION.

Mr. and Ml*. Tom Nohin :ml the Misses Johnson I.ntertain l.nsl livening.

Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Nolan and Misses Kate. Hannah and Madge .lolmson were at home Wednesday to a I largo number of guests at the resideuce of the Misses Johnson, on west Main street. The guests were received in divisions—at 8:00 and 8:30 I o'clock, and during the hours of recep- I tion over two hundred were handsomely entertained. The rooms were lighted entirely by candles and the soft light set off the floral decorations to excellent advantgage. In floral adornment 110 pains had been spared and the decorations were both beautiful and extensive. The entertainers were assisted in the duty of l-eception by the guest of honor, Miss Ella Golden, of Indianapolis. The Music Hall orchestra was present throughout the evening, rendering the occasion all the the more pleasurable by its excellent inspiration to dancing which was frely indulged in by the devotees of the popular amusement. In the dining room, where the decorations appeared to special advantage, an elaborate supper was served by professional waiters. The reception was certainly a very charming and successful affair and the entertainers are to be congratulated on its perfect pleasure.

AVe^Are Not Married.

1 see some one lias been very busy telling things that are positively falsehoods. If I was not a lady I would say it plainer than that. 1 can tell the public in general that there is not a word of the whole thing so. In the first place that is not my name. My name nowadays is Miss Clara Ilurd. That one thing is not so to begin with. In regard to our age there is not a word of that true, and that would be nobody else's business any way,for it is but a little difference. And so far as the clerk is concerned he does not issue licenses when there are none issued. Now whoever that person is that put that lie in the paper had better mend their ways and attend to their own business, and they will have all they can attend to. I consider that they can't be much or they could not make up such lies. i.aka Hunu.

The La?t Kxamina*ion.

The result of the last teachers' examination for license brought tears to many eager eyes. There were 17 teachers made a stab for permits to the pie counter and only 18 succeeded in capturing tham. The result was as follows: 1 for 24 months. 13 for 12 months. 4 for ti months.

T. Y. llall was the lucky man who shook the persimmon tree for a 24 months' exemption from examination nightmares.

Miriam Harlan 11 utton was born noar Darlington. Ind.. April 3. ls-.'Ci. She was united in marriage to Samuel M. lint Ion Pel). !i. ISPS. Died April 14, l.s'.U, aged (is years and eleven days. Funeral services were conducted at the residence Sunday afternoon. April 15. by Kev. T. J. Shuey, of Waveland. The minister said in part:

This in brief is a sketch of Mrs. Hutton's life, a life which was spent in your midst, Being the first white female born in Franklin township she has been closely connected with the history of our county. She has witnessed the great changes that have taken place during the last sixty years: seen the dense forest give way before the woodsman's ax: the rude hut give place to the elegant homes that now dot the face of our beautiful county. In her childhood she was often the companion of the dusky mates of the red men and grew to womanhood amid such surrounding as usually characterized the homes of Montgomery county's early settlers. She was of a family of thirteen children, one brother, William Harlan, who lives near Darlington, being the only surviving member of the family. Mrs. Hutton tinited with the Christian church at the age of sixteen and lived a devoted and* godly life. During the three years I have served as her pastor she has never lost an opportunity to encourage every one to make preparations for the future. She said to me during her last sickness: "I have many friends here who are doing all that can be done for me, yet I want to join my friends who have gone on before. 1 .am anxious to go." And permit me to say that never waa a mother, wife or neighbor more tenderly cared for than was she. Her every want was supplied, her every wish granted. She was the mother of nine children, six of whom survive her, three sons and three daughters, who are left with their aged father to mourn her loss. Mrs. Ilutton was married more than a half century ago and hand in hand they have fought life's battles. For more than fifty years they have shared life's conflicts, its joys and sorrows. In prosperity and in adversity they have stood shoulder to shoulder. No wonder the parting was a bitter one. No wonder her aged companion feels now that he is alone in the world, like a lone mariner lingering near the shore only waiting for the same pale boatman to bear him too to the great beyond. Time would fail me were I to attempt to extol her virtues. Her life work is done and she has gone to her reward. '"Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord."

To the Editor Tiik Journal.

We would like to notice a few paragraphs that appeared in he ournal in the last mouth in reference to freethought lectures, and the good people of New Ross. The first says that the lectures were disgusting and that the lecturer ought to be treated to dose of ancient eggs in case he returned. Next comes a correction by a church member which is in the main correct. The reporter Hew in, denounces the church member and reiterates that what he said were facts, that the man ought to be ancient egged in case he returned and that four-fifths of the people were disgusted. Next we notice in the New Ross items that Adkins Hall was well filled Tuesday night to hear a freethought lecture by Franklin Steiner. He unveiled some ancient history and pleased his admirers by telling some fairy jokes. Can the New Ross scribe name more than two jokes told in the whole discourse'.' What must people think who do not live near New Ross and who are not acquainted with the facts'.' Will they think it is possible that the good people of New Ross have such a fondness to be disgusted that after being disgusted with three lectures in succession, that in three weeks later they are ready and so anxious to be disgusted that they are willing to face a snow storm to fill Adkins Hall. In the last item of Thk Jouknai, the scribe jumps to the conclusion, with a shout of triumph. Now I know him, but, nevertheless, the facts are the very article in question watt written by a church mcmhi r.

WllILi: THEY SI.KPT.

Several Athenians Toueheil For Their l'ile-i During the Slate OinvetiUon.

Charley Miller. Tude Hamilton and T. II. B. M'.-tain all came home Irom the State convention shy of funds. They went over Tuesday afternoon rejoicing their youth and Sunday clothes but they met as sad a fate as the young lady who sat down in the salad at the commencement ball. Arrived in the big town they, with others, resolved to patronize Montgomery county enterprize and marched in line to the hotel of Arch Stubbins, where they were received with great eclat and a request to pay in advance. All went lovely Tuesday and Tuesday night. Messrs. Miller and McCain occupied abed in one room, while the sweet school girl face of the beatific Tude decorated the pillow on abed in the adjoining room. It was about (i o'clock on Wednesday morning when Messrs. Miller and McCain were awakened by the unusual clatter of a street sweep on on the pavement below. Mr. Miller opened his eyes just in time to witness the departure of a young gentleman who had been rifling his pantaloon pockets. The pantaloon of both hung on the same door and were easily aeessible. With a wild and revengeful whoop Charles started in charming dishabille down the hall after the miscreant, who managed to escape. Giving up the pursuit he returned and an invoice of stock was instituted. Each of them were shy about six "plunks" but their watches and diamonds were safe.

Poor Tude, however, had not fared so well. He was touched for $19 and a gold watch. The hat was passed by sympathizing' friends and enough realized to keep the wolf from the door until the victims could return to the Hoosier Athens. The Indianapolis police are now shadowing a suspected man, and expect to secure Mr. Hamilton's watch.

Gus Landis and his brother, Walter, met a similar fatsAat the Denison on Monday night. Tlreir room was entered and Gus was robbed of $30, and Walter S55.

How to Vote.

At every election numbers of people lose their vote on account of mistakes in stamping their ballots. The manner of stamping the ballot is very simple and it is to be hoped that the voter will soon become familiar with it. It is simply this: If the voter desires to vote his full party ticket he should stamp in the large square at the top of the ticket, and give but one stroke with stamp. Or the voter can vote for each candidate by stamping the square preceding each name. If the latter method is preferable the stamp in square at the head of the ticket must be omitted.

Remember this next Tuesday, Mr. Republican.

A Shyster Itehukeri.

Rockville Tribune: The Crawfordsville Star is against the re-nomination of Brookshire. If we all followed personal inclination or were controlled by dissatisfaction with Mr. Brookshire regarding the distribution of federal appointments, there is no doubt he would be defeated in the convention, lie has refused to bow before the White House Baal and is therefore not in the swim like Senator Voorhees: but this only makes him stronger with those who want nothing but the platform.

Crawforlsville Circuit.

The pastor, Rev. John M. Stafford, will preach at Roberts Chapel Sunday, April 29th, at 10:1)0 a. in. and at Mt. Olivet at 3:00 p. m. The appointments for May fith will be, Wesley, 10:.'i0 a. m., and Waynetown at 3 p. m. The third quarterly meeting will be held at Mt. Olivet May 3d and .4th. Rev. Middleton will preach Thursday at 1:30 p. m. and Friday at 10:30 a. m. and 7:30 p. m. The quarterly conference will follow the Friday morning sermon.

Will Ask a Rehearing.

Brush & Snyder will ask of the Supreme Court a rehearing in the Wingate damage case. The Supreme Court holds that Mrs. Wingate was guilty of contributory negligence, so little hope is entertained of the victims ever realizing anything i'rom the road, which is now in the hands of a receiver. The reversal of the case causes much dissatisfaction and unfavorable comment here.

Will Try Iliin Over Here.

Said Prosecutor Mofl'ett Thursday: "Young Burrows will not be given up to the Logansport authorities until we try him again here. The Supreme Court holds that the only error was in che court instructing the jury as to the value of that check. We will convict him again without arty such instruction and give.i.t.,t.oJiim. worse than the first, lime."

Mrs. Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Wanl has written for the May Furuni an a.rtiele discussing the question, "Is Faith in a. Future Life Declining'.'" based largely on the evidence given b\- the letters she has received about "Gates A jar" during the twenty years or more nee it was published.

The rant has made steady progress: its circulation having increased during the panic, and it has necessarily been enlarged to one hundred and fortyfour pages. There is, also, in addition to this, the book of reviews, which over over twenty pages, making in all a magazine of over one hundred anil sixty pages.

The complete novel in the May number of Ll/)jiiiicitl\s is "The Autobiography of a Professional Beauty," by Elizabeth Pliipps Train, whose hand is light but firm and sure. This work of a little-known writer is remarkable for the freshness anil brightness of its style the heroine is conducted through manifold social and moral dangers to a safe heaven.

That the present is the era of cheap magazines and books is emphasized by the latest proposition made by lilac i)nl (h'tty, the distinctively patriotic American magazine published at Philadelphia. This publication recently redneed its prize from $2.50 to $| a year, and now announces a special new edition of General Grant "Memoirs," in one large cloth volume, which they will supply to their patrons for #2.00. including one year's subscription to I Slue anil, Gran.

Commissioner Theodore Roosevelt has written a letter on "The Common Sense of Civil Service Reform," which will appear in the May number of the Century. He expresses the wish that the plain, sensible people of the country, those who are interested in decent politics, and not in otHce-mongering and ofliee-jobbing, would make some of the Congressmen who declaim against the civil service, law understand that it is not safe always to pander to stupid or dishonest voters.

A great Grant number, in token of General Grant's birthday, April 27th, describes in a word McClure's Mitijttzlnc for May. General Horace Porter, a member of Grant's staff, his Assistant Secretary of War. and, during the first term of his Presidency, his private secretary, writes of his personal traits, particularly of his truth, courage modesty, generosity, and loyalty. Other articles concerning the great commander are by Col. Fred Grant. O. O. Howard, Gen. Ely S. Parker and T. C. Crawford.

Caspar W. Whitney, the "sporting pilgrim" of iiurfJCT'w Weekly, has returned from a prolonged trip abroad, where he has spent his time at athletic meeting, hunting meets, and shooting matches. He is writing a. series of articles for the Wt'elily on the impressions of an American on the sports of the mother country, the second of which, profusely illustrated will appear in the Weekly of April 2Xth. Mr. Anton Seidl has prepared an article on the Metropolitan Opera season, which will be printed in the same issue. It is illustrated with portraits and a double-page drawing by T. de ThulStl'ilp.

No matter what other magazines and papers the American woman buys, she subscribes to llurpcr's littzur for the information it contains about, fashions. It is her mentor not only regarding the costuming which has given her the reputation of being the best dressed woman in the world, but in those other matiers of mode which are not less important—the fashionable innovation in dinner-giving, in receiving, in furniture and decoration, anil in the thousand and one things which distinguish the cultivated American household. There is no other paper in this field. The Baziir has no rival it has not even a competitor.

Dr. Albert Shaw, in the April number of the Itevlew of Rcvicwx, shows in an interesting way what is being done for negro education in Alabama by the negroes themselves. His article, entitled "Negro Progress on the Tuskegee Plan," describes the remarkable work carried on at the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute under the direction of Mr. Booker T. Washington, a Hampton graduate who has chosen his field of labor in the "black belt" of Alabama. This work meets with warm commendation from Southern whites who have interested themselves in it and is worthy of study by all Americans who look forward to a solution of the race problem through educational agencies, and especially through the intelligent self-help on the part of the colored people.
