Robert Downing.

Mr. Robert Downing comes to Music Hall next Wednesday, Oct. 16, presenting for the firet time in this city, Victorien Sardou's masterpiece, "Helena," which is a most vivid and picturesque story of life in Italy during the time when the civil warfare between the Ouelphs and GhibelineB made that country a scene of constant strife and carnage. The story as told by the gifted French author is a most delight* fully fascinating one, and as interpreted by Mr. Downing and his company is as realistic as it is possible for art and genius coupled with adaptability to make it. It is the strongest play that Mr. Downing has ever been seen in, and its ideality is above that of any character drawing that Sardou has ever attempted. True, it is on the order of his celebrated "Oismonda," which Fanny Davenport has immortalized, and yet it is far different in moral, in (construction and in language. In fact so different, that therein lies its chiefest charm, its most absorbing interest. Mr. Downing plays the part of Orso, chief of the Guelphs, and he gives the character a treatment that shows him to be a most versatile actor and a most studious producer and stage manager. Miss Eugenie Blair plays "Helena," a most difficult role, requiring as it does the strongest emotional acting and severest physical strain, and Miss Blair does the part most 'beautifully. The play is given with every scenic accessory and is costumed in a charming manner, in fact, the dresses worn by Miss Blair, as well as the magnificent jewels, that apatrician would naturally wear, represent in themselves fortunes.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.

What Work the County Organization Has JHone and la Doing.

On the 4th day o2 last February a meeting in the interest of Sunday school work was held in the parlors of the Y. M. C. A. building. State Superintendent of Sunday schools, Charles D. Meigs, was present and addressed the company, which was composed of our county and township Sunday school officers and others active in Sunday school work. It was decided there that during the coming year these things were to be accomplished: "House to House Visitation." "Thorough Organization." "Home Class Work."

Under the first head, "House to House Visitation," every house in our county was to be visited in order to find out our actual condition from a Sunday school standpoint.. This has been done and it has developed the fact that more than twenty thousand people in our county never go to Sunday school and that 216 families have no Bibles.

Under the next head, "Thorough Organization," we want to place ourselves in a position to reach these people, and as a means to this end a series of township conventions are being held, to which all persons interested in Sunday school work are invited, beginning Thursday at Alamo, in |Ripley township on the 17th at Otterbein churtih, in Union township on the 18th at Waynetown, in Wayne township on the 10th at New Boss, in Walnut township on the 24th at Kingsley's Chapel, in Franklin township on the 26th at Linden, in Madison township on Nov. 2d at New Richmond, in Coal Creek township and these will soon be followed by conventions in Sugar Creek, Brown, Scott and Clark townships, which will complete the list. These will be followed by a county convention at Wingate on November 22. when all the forces will be consolidated and will have the best convention in the history of the organization.

Under the last head, "Home Class Work," the Sunday school is being taken into the home where the home cannot go to the School. This is being pfeshed in our city and all over the county at the present time, and it is expected that before the end of the year at least five thousand persons not now in the Sunday schools will either be brought into them or into the home class department, which is essentially the same thing. Our latest census has developed the fact that in our city and its suburbs there are more than eight thousand .persons who never go to Sunday school. Surely "the harvest is great and the laoorers are few": "Out in the highways, out in the byways,

Out in the dark paths of sin ofor" And

Oo forth, go forth, with a loving heart I gather the wanderers in.

Sunday School Convention.

Surprise Party Surprised,

Bobert Jackson of the Crawfordsville Business College, lives out near Campbell's Chapel and the other day celebrated his twenty-first birthday. His friends planned to give him a grand masque surprise party at his home that evening and grand preparations were made. Now a young lady friend of Bobert gave him a tip and he counter-plotted. He procured a masque that was a perfect disguise and joined the rest of the party at the place ef meeting. He marched with them to his home and had more fun than anybody. He made monkeys of all who expected to make a monkey of him and did not make his identity known until late in the evening when all the guests had given him up and started to remove their masques. In spite of the sell out of the party however the evening was one of mirth and merriment.

LADDABLE ENTERPRISE.

Tlie Horse Breeilevi of Montgomery Connty Organizing for Mutual ltenellt in the Improvement of Stock.

Montgomery county has more better bred horses than any county in Indiana and she will maintain her lead. Her people are awake to the fact that the horse of the future is the fine horse and that the day of barnyard Dobbin is past. A most enterprising and laudable movement is now on foot in the organization of horse breeders' associations, two of which have been already organized with many more to follow. It is the purpose of these organizations to secure the finest stallions to be had for breeding purposes and to bar all scrubs out. The flower of Lew Cochran's prize hackney and shire stallions have already been secured by the organizations named and Mr. Cochran will be obliged to import other blooded animals for his Crawfordsville and other stands next season. He retains, however, a half interest in all the horses secured by the association and will manage them as heretofore, although keeping them within the territory covered by the associations.

The first of these associations is styled "The Montgomery and Tippecanoe Counties Horse Breeders AssO' ciations," and it embraces the territory of southern Tippecanoe and northern Montgomery counties. This associa tion is composed of the following gentlemen so far: Henry Learning,Pres., Brent White, S. S. Kirkpatriok, Sec., Hiram Parker,

Thomas Wilkins, J. O. Fowler, J. W. McCardle, Robert H. Bon well, O. A. Mason, Thomas B. Miller, Evan Shelby. Stephen L. Wilson, Albert Lay ton, Wm. O. Davidson, E. W. Stevenson, James A. Bailey, Hod Newton, Jas. C. Vaugbu, O. D. Nichols, Thomas O. Bailey, Bobert Martin, J. C. Greenburg,

E. E. Miller.

They have secured "King of England, the famous Hackney that has won all the prizes he was ever shown for, (including the World's Fair honors, and whose colts have all been famous prize winners. The great shire stallion, •"Scarcliffe Stamper," has also been secured. This horse is one of a proud record and his colts have rivaled him in winning red ribbons. These horaes will stand at Colfax this fall for $10 and next Spring will stand successively at Linden and New Richmond. Thus the best breed of hackney and draft horses will be propagated in those sections.

The second organization, the Montgomery County Horse Breeders' Association, will embrace the southwest part of the county and the gentlemen composing it are:

H. H. Swindler, Pres., J. S. Fullenwlder, J. N. Fullenwlder, H. 0. Fullenwlder, Geo. S. Davis, Jas. S. GilUland, John W. Todd, I. 8. Todd, G.W.Todd, Larkln H. Branch,

beautiful animal is peerless. The shire horse secured is Wenona Cardinal, probably the best shire ever brought to Indiana. He is a young and beautiful horse with a famous pedigree. These horses will stand at Waveland this fall and will be at Waveland, New Market and Browns Valley. In this enterprise Montgomery county is pioneer although before next Spring similar associations will doubtless exist in many places. This county has secured the prize horses, however, and will maintain the enviable lead she nowpossesses. We already have a county of fine women and willBhortly have a county of fine horses that will discount Kentucky.

Would Not Accept the Challenge. To the Editor of The Journal*

Oct. 10th, 1895—Miss

Toodie Hurt, of the New Boss Schools, and representative of Walnut township oratorical contest, Sept. 10th, sent a challenge to Miss Grace Remley, of Wayne township, who it will be remembered won the first prize at Crawfordsville. The proposition was to meet outside of Montgomery county and contest for a cash prize leaving the decision to the audience, or to the teachers present. Miss Remley would not accept. [In this connection it is probably nothing more than fair to state that Miss Remley's health is not such as to admit of the contest suggested even if she should see fit to re-submit a decision awarded her unanimously by an unbiased committee to whom the contestants were all unknown.]

Birch Bros, have decided to rebuild their foundry. Work will begin soon and pushed to a finish.
