THE BALDWINS AT MACE.
An Kxccllcnl Kiilcrlniimirnt jinil a Well Pleased Audience—At 1.:KIOI SI .•••••• ••.Ci-iwTliis lOveniiiK*
The Baldwin Concert Company, under the management of Harry Maxwell, gave another excellent entertainment at Mace Wednesday in the handsome new Methodist church at that place. The church was well tilled with an interested and attentive audience. The male quartette sang three selections with good effect, and responded to an encore with the ever beautiful plantation song, "Kentucky Home,'' harmonized by Leslie. The ladies' quartette was very warmly received as they well deserved to be. There is nothing prettier than the rich harmonies of "The Swanee River" and "Last Night," as rendered by them. Their voices are well balanced-and they sing with much feeling and animation. There are few elocutionists to equal Miss Mary Wilhite. She captured the audience both at Darlington and Mace without difficulty and had to
respond to encores at every appearance. As usual the solo work of Harry Maxwell was a feature. His wonderful voice and the ease with which he uses it never fails to please as it did at Darlington and Mace. Miss Edna Dice, the contralto of the Baldwin Ladies' Quartette, sang a solo last evening showing the rich quality of her low tones. The quartette is fortunate in having Miss Dice as such contraltos are rare. The following programme which is to be given at Ladoga Friday evening is substantially the same as was given at Darlington and Mace:

Old Soldiers in County Asylums. Indianapolis Journal: There are about five hundred old soldiers in the county infirmaries of this State and George W. Steele, manager of the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, jat Marion, has written to Governor Matthews asking him to notify the county officials that where there are soldiers in the infirmaries application can be made to the National Home, and if the applicants are entitled to admission they will be received within a reasonable time. Mr. Steele says there have been more soldiers in the home recently than there was appropriation to take care of. An appeal for additional funds has been made to Congress through Senator Voorhees, and it is thought that the financial aid will soon be extended. The home at Marion is one of seven in the United States.

Thus when you secure the four series you will have 48 elegant works of art at a total cost of 60 cents, less than 2 cents a piece. In the meantime remember that there are six more of the World's Fair Portfolios yet to come and the two schemes will in no way interfere with one another.

lie v. T. F. Drake's Marriage. '1 he Lafayette Courier, speaking of the approaching marriage of Itev. T. F. Drake, says:
After the ceremony the contracting parties will cotne immediately to this city, huating at Rev. Drake's new and elegant resilience on the north side. Dr. and Mrs. W. It. Moliitt will tender them a reception at their home, 121 State street, on Wednesday evening, May 2:s. and it is safe to surmise that they will be royally received from the youngest to the oldest of the popular divine's friends. The announcement this morning caused quite a surprise, although it has been known for some time that the popular pastor of the Methodist church certainly contemplated such an event, but all were kept in ignorance of the name of the prospective bride, and society in Methodist circles will be on the tip-toe of expectations until the arrival of the head of the congregation who will be received with the best congratulations and in the high degree of hospitality that has made the church famous.
A Diamond Prince.
Wednesday Fred Summers, a bottle nosed tramp, was locked up on a charge of intoxication. A large satchel belonging to him was searched in the Mayor's office this morning and found to contain quite a large number of valuable pieces of jewelry. There were several watches and gold rings— one ring containing a fine diamond set worth about 8100. When asked where he had obtained this Summers replied that he had traded a shot gun for it .to a fellow hobo who "had found it." The satchel also contained some fine razors, knives and other miscellaneous articles of value. He had the money to pay his fine and was released.

Rev. It. S. lnglis. pastor of the First Presbyterian church, has decided to resign his charge in this city to accept an offer of the Presbyterian church at Jackson. Michigan. While not altogether a surprise this action on his part will be a matter of sincere regret to his many friends and especially to the 'members of his congregation to whom he aud his charming wife have become very much attached during the almost three years of their residence here. For quite a number of weeks past the Presbyterians of .lacksonhave been urging Mr. Inglis to come there. He at first declined to consider the -matter at all, preferring to carry out his original intention of staying in Crawfordsville live years at least. But the Jackson people were persistent and finally asked him if he would accept a direct c'lll. He telegraphed that he could.

not consider it. In spite of this they made out a formal call coupling with it an invitation to preach there last Sunday. The matter was in such shape that Mr. Inglis was forced to pay some attention to it, so he and Mrs. Inglis spent last Sunday there. They made such a tempting offer that he decided to accept. The salary is $1,500 with an increase after the first year, a parsonage is soon to be built and also a new 830,000 church. It is the only Presbyterian church in Jackson, a city of twenty-five thousand inhabitants and consequently there is splendid opening for an energetic pastor. fcThe church was established ten years ago has a membership of 200 and occupies a uhapel. The members are nearly all young married folks and as five of the officers are commercial travelers 3'ou may be sure there is plenty of push in the church. One week from next Sundaj the congregation of First church will meet to act on Mr. Inglis' resignation. In all probability his successor will have been chosen by that time so that there will be no break in the work of the church.
Another Pioneer (Join
Mary L. .Mote, widow of the late Enoch Mote, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. .1. C. Beebe, near Sliannondale Monday, April '.'A), in her 78th year. Her maiden name was Mary L. Jones. She was born in Butler county, Ohio, Oct. 10, 1810, and removed to Montgomery county with her parents in 1831.' She was united in marriage with Enoch Mote, Sept. I f, I.S33. She reared a large family of children, seven of whom survive to mourn her loss, also 18 grand children and 10 great grandchildren. She was brought to her old home near Garfield Wednesday, May 2, and after a short religious service by Rev. J. C. Maxwell, of Crawfordsville, the remains were laid to rest in the I. O. O. F. cemetery at Darlington. She had been a sufferer from paralysis for over four years, not being able to walk a step in all that time. Her life was one that taught us the beauty of the Christian religion, being ever patient and hopeful, putting all her trust in a Saviour's love. She never tired of life, yet was ever willing to go, and always endeavored to lead all those around her to a higher and nobler life. It is true her friends mourn her loss but not without the hope of meeting her again.

01'ARAMINE AGAINST CHICAGO.
MoHiny of Mui Slat«» Hoard of ITcalth—-* Mnaltpox Prevalent.
The State Board of Health met at Indianapolis Wednesday to consider :i proposition to quarantine Indiana against Chicago on account of the smallpox there. The State Board has information that the disease is much more prevalent there than the Chicago newspapers have been willing to admit, and some action by Indiana is deemed necessary. The Board is disposed to quarantine against the city and cites the appropriation of 850,000 at the Governor's disposal to enforce the quarantine. The Board will present the case to the Governor, who feels that the affair is of such importance that the utmost care should be exercised.
1'ublic Sentiment, oil the New Franchise The new franchise asked by "the Citizens Water Company" is certainly meeting with the. endorsement of public sentiment and the citizens of all classes are clamoring for its hasty inauguration. There are probably not a dozen people in town who would not hasten to sign a contract with the new company before its plant was in if the books were opened. The men at the head of the movement are reliable and, well known and from present prospects it will be a clear case of freeze out for the present company. The question of the city bolting the contract with the syndicate and accepting the proposition of the new company is being freely agitated. Mr. Ramsey states that there would be no trouble experienced in proving the legality of such a step on the city's part as llagrant violations of the agreement have been made by the present water company and can be easily proved.
Mr. Nuckolls, the syndicate's acting agent here, states that his people would bitterly oppose any such action on the part of the city and would fight it to the death in the courts.

Planting is about done and the thrifty housewife begins to consider what she will wear during the coming season. It is important to have a pretty serviceable dress of course but the article that -needs the most care and attention is the bonnet. An unbecoming bonnet will spoil the effect of an entire costume. Mrs. Harlan, the milliner, makes a study of harmonizing bonnets to the figure, Miss Edna Nicholson is with her. it
