Mrs. Mnr.v D. Travis, Department President of the Woman's Relief Corps, returned last Thursday from lvnightstown where she attended the commencement exercises of the State Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home on Thursday. She reports that institution in splendid condition. There are over six hundred orphan children in the Home, being taught the various trades to lit them for useful lives. The Home admits the children at. any age uuder bixteen years, and keeps them until they reach that age, and then, so far as possible, secures positions for them, that they may support themselves. Hundreds of little homeless children have been equipped for useful and and honorable lives by the splendid physical, intellectual and moral training they received at the Home. Prof. A. H. Graham, the Superintendent, and his corps of able assistants, are devoted to their work, and the amount of good they have done and are doing cannot be over-esti-mated. Indeed, the great State of Indiana may well be proud of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home.

BARN BURNED.

Last Fridav the lurn of A F. Ramsey took lire, presumably from a spark from a Monon engine, and was quickly amass of llames. An alarm of tire was turned in and the department responded quickly and by hard work was able to save the barn of I'. C. Somerville close by and also one of his tenement houses, both of which took tire. The Ramsey barn was almost a total loss but was fully insured

Henry Arnold, the colored man who works for Mr. Ramsey, worked valiantly to save the contents of the barn and succeeded in getting about everything out except the feed. He was overcome by his exertions and fainted away. He did not suffer serious inconvenience, however, and was soon himself again.

(JamMiee I.aw Oucsl lowed. An appeal was last week filed in the Supreme Court in the case of Samuel H. Pomeroy against Mary L. Reach, in which the Circuit Court of Porter county gave judgment against Pomeroy and the Chicago it Grand Rapids Railway Company, under the new garnishment law for all wages due Pomeroy, except S25. The Circuit Court decided that the railroad company should pay the plain ti 11 all of Pomeroy's wages butS25, and gave judgment against it for S.J0.77. This is the fiial of the numerous suits brought under the new garnishment law to reach the Supreme Court. The provision of this law which declares that the wages of householders shall be exempt, "not exceeding t25 at any one time, and no exemption shall be allowed as against garnishment." except this, has been held unconstitutional by the judges of several circuit courts in the State, and has been construed by others not to authorize the wages of a person to be taken for a debt, when he was entitle*! to exemption under the general statute.

A number of workingmen have combined to carry the question, whether their wages can legally be garnisheed in this manner, to the Supreme Court.

Dr. \V. T. (lOtt, of the State Medical Hoard, reports that the work of licensing the physicians is progressing slowly. So far about 3,700 have been declared as qualified and the number will be raibed to 5,000 or more within the next few weeks. Dr. Gott reports that an unexpectedly large number of non-graduates are found to be engaged in the practice of medicine in this State. They will be cut oil' by the new law, which Dr. Gott regards as quite eilicacious.

A NOISY AND BUSY PLACE.

Last Thursday was visitnrs'dav at the factory of the Indiana Wire Pence Company, and quite a number of the citizens including ladies availed themselves of the opportunity to look in on this most interesting place. To those who had not before visited this factory it was in the nature of a revelation and there are doubtless many of our citizens who have but little idea of the extent of these works. The buildings cover almost two acres of ground, every foot of which is occupied, either in machinery or in stock. The plant manufactures barb wire, woven wire, wire nails and fence staples. It has 3: barb wire machines with a capacity of 15,000 tons annually. 30 wire nail machines with a capacity for 75,000 kegs a year. Lately a woven wire machine has been introduced which turns out 2-10 rods a day. This is made from 2 1 inches to 00 inches wide and is used for field, lawn, railroad, stock and poultry fencing. The cooper shop has a capacity of 400 kegs and 500 reels a day. The plant is well equipped with a machine department. Anything that can be made from iron or steel can be made there. The company has a splendid trade throughout the Central West and Southwest which extends into Mexico. The barb wire is made of steel wire andsold both painted and galvanized. The mam wire is two strands with ttie barb twisted so it is held secure, a fencing wire that answers every purpose, is light, has strength and durability. The nails and staples are also good sellers, not surpassed in quality by anything put on the market. The Wire Fence Company deal in plain wire,lawn an ornamental feucing, the Eureka post hole diggers and tlie 101 wood wire stretcher. These agencies have been accepted only after the articles, after a severe test, have been declared meritorious. The company employes 10 to 00 men and its pay roll approximately is 53,000 monthly. This manufacturing establishment has become a potent factor in the commercial interests of the city and the company has in the sixteen years of business had no reason to feel other than well pleased as it has been attended with great success.

Near by the Indiana Wire Fence Company's plant is the Crawfordsville Pottery. The process of manufacturing clay into fine pottery is but little less interesting that making nails or barb wire. The machinery is less intricate and less noisy, but for all that the visitor watches the various processes through whien the clay is taken before it assumes the form of jar. and erocits and jugs with absorbing interest. Although the plant is in the hands of a receiver yet fifteen hands are employed and so far a ready market has been found for all the product turned out The managers have found that by mixing Otlield creek clay with the clays from Hrazil and Illinois that excellent wares are produced. The piant needs capital for development.

Some fire insurance adjusters were here last week endeavoring to settle a loss on a country residence, which with all its contents, was destroyed. From the testimony of the occupants it was certainly one of the most elegantly and completely equipped mansions in the West. The climax '"iine, however, when the kitchen was reached. Among the articles of furniture enumerated for this room were four extension tables, a mahogany sofa, tnree pairs of lace curtains and a forty dollar clock. Seven bushels of beans were also destroyed in this room.

While Mr. anil Mrs Robinson were entertaining a number of friends on their front porch sneak thieves entered via. the back door and at once set out 011 an exploring expedition. The dining room and one sleeping room were rummaged, si\ erware and various trinkets were hauled out for inspection, but the marauders were evidently looking for nothing but money as the only article taken was a pocketbook containing three dollars in silver. Three tramps were seen in the. vicinity just prior to the discovery of the theft by Mr. and Mrs. Robinson, and it is thought that they did the work. Residents hereafter would perhaps find it advantageous and likewise remunerative to barricade their rear doors and nail down the windows when taking to the front part of the house for the evening

he Kditor of The Journal. In your issue of June sth appears an article entitled "Two Cases of Consumption," which, though not intended 10 do harm, yet by its zealous and unwise statements has inspired false hopes in some, and caused others to make great sacrifices which will surely prove in vain. I say it with regret but it is true these consumption cures aie periodical fads that appear at more or less irregular intervals to invariably sink quickly into oblivion along with the blasted hopes of their votaries An all-inspiring yet unreasonable hope is peculiar to the minds of those who suller from disease of the lungs It is also a well known fact that tuberculosis is a disease in which apparant improvements quite frequently occur irrespective of the kind of treatment used. The remedy use at the time of the temporary improvement receives the credit and at once the patient's fond hopes build for him an air castle of restored health 011 this flimsy foundation. These facts explain the frequent, uLqualitied endorsement given by reliable men to these delusive cures that thrive alone on human credulity and misfortune. For centuries past the medical profession lias been vainly searching with all the scientific re"sourcesat, its command lor a consumpto cure. Millions of money and many human lives have been spent without avail. How idle it sounos in scientific ears, ana how misleading to the hopes of those who suller, to hear the declaration that some mediocre individual dabbling along the shores of science haB given to the people of Crawfordsville this world sought boon If such a cure was an accomplished fact to day, the homage of half the earth would be laid at the discoverer's feet to-morrow, and honor beyond that which any nation has ever bestowed would be his proud rew-'-d.

Consumption is a common term, but it is not generally well understood. '1 he name was given many years ago 10 •'consuming disease of ye lungs." 'lhe proper name is tuberculosis, and it depends upon or is caused by a small rod-like living germ called the tuoercle bacillus. This little enemy of the human race gains entrance into our bi dies usually by being carried into the lungs with the air which we breathe. When once there the warmth and moisture cause it to rapidly multiply, and if the vital forces of our bodies are not power! ill enough to limit its progress it pursues its destructive work until we can not longer survive. It is not confined to the lungs alone, but through the blood and lymph it is carried to all parts of the body, attacking the various organs and tissues.

Tims we have with consumption complications of stomach, liver and bowels that no infrequently the patient considers the greatest and prime trouble. Tuberculosis is a contagious disease. We get it in no other way except from those who have it. It is not transmitted from parent to child, as was formerly supposed, but the adaptability of the system to the growth of the germ is inherited. For this reason children of consumptive parents are more likely to contract the disease than others, and precautions to save them are very effectual. Change of climate, unless directed by the most careful exercise of skilled judgment, i6 usually productive of more harm than good. Medicines which are inhaled may soothe and heal sore surfaces, but cannot be taken intp the lungs powerful enough to destroy the disease germs, therefore they cannot cure.

In regard to statistics, it is not true that forty per cent of all deaths are due to consumption. The proportion is but twelve per cent, but this is bad enough for it means that every eighth person whom you meet must surely die of consumption. No one can wish for a consumption cure more earnestly than the writer, but the actual truth and a better general knowledge of the subject should be desired by all. v.. MOI:K A.N'HV,

MISS KROUT'S IDEAS.

Mil- Willi- an I Iilei-I'st illy I.i-Hit to ht l.oiidiiii st u,i|, ||,,. \niic\aI i•»11 ol Hawaii.

In the London Sitnultirl of Juue IS apuears the following letter from Miss Mary Hannah Krout: "To THI KDITOK OK I UI: STAXHAUH— ^ir:—Will you kindly permit to correct a triling inaccuracy in your Laukr of this morning relating to the annexation of Hawaii by the United States'.' I hail the honor to be the special correspondent of the Chicago Daily Inter(ham in the Islands during the Revolution of 1x1:1, and again in lS'.i-l, when an attempt was made by Mr. Cleveland to restore the Jueeu. You attribute the ditliculty between Hawaii and Japan to the "American filibusters who have been running the Islands in the interests of the sugar trust." Of the members of the recent—or perhaps it should still be written present—Republican government, President Dole, Mr. S. M. Damon, Minister of Finance Mr. W. 0. Smith. Attorney General Mr. L. M. Thurston, formerly Minister to the United States and Mr. A. F. Judd, Chief Justice, were all born and reared in the Islands, and have never been American citizens. "Annexation to the United States has been strenuously opposed by the sugar planters, because under its laws contract labor could not be imported, which was necessary to make sugar raising profitable. Under the contract with Japan a man could be hired for sixteen dollars per month, and a woman for less —women being employed in various capacities about the mills. Without cheap labor the Hawaiian planters could not compete with the cane growing States where negro labor is hired. One of the strongest opponents, not only of annexation, but of the Provisional Government and the Republic, was Mr. Claus Spreckles, the San Francisco millionaire, who owned enormously valuable plantations on the Island of

Maui, and whose son warmly supported the ueen in her elVorts to regain her throne. During the reign o£ Kalukua there were seven revolutions, which very naturally shook pablic confidence in the stability of the government, and had a disastrous effect upon trade and commerce and the moral aud material condition of the people. "There were not half a dozen residents 111 the Islands, even after the turbulent reign of Kalukua, who advocated annexation. They upheld und endorsed the autonomy of liawai until they were forced to admit that this was 110 longer compatible with public safety, or the just administration of the laws. When the ex-',ueen Liliuokalani came to the throne, she had the entire good will of her subjects. Rut blie had bitterly resented concessions granted the white men of the Islands, and the amendment of the constitution in her brother's reign. She went to the throne with the fixed determination to take away those privileges, and attempted to abrogate the constitution which she had taken the uath to support in that which she endeavored to promulgate t.lie white men of the Islands, who were paying ninety-seven per cent, of the taxes, were to be disfranchised, the only exception being made in the case o£ those being married to native women. In addition to this act of high treason she bigned a bill legalizing the establishment of a State lottery in Honolulu, and another permitting the free sale and use of opium. When all this came to pass the peop'.e of all the nationalities. including the ICnglish, Scotch and Germans, united and declared the monarchy at an end. They had Imped and waited for reform in vain for twenty-five years.

I'ho organization of the provisional government was effected publicly and openly by unarmed men, who had neither police nor soldiers at their backs, both the troops and the constabulary being servants of the Crown. The men who assumed control were chosen by the people of all nationalities because of their high character and tested integrity, und, without an exception, they accepted the posts assigned them at the serious sacrifice of their personal welfare. They have held the government together, never ceasing to hope that the United States would finally take tlie Islands under the shelter of its authority. These men having done what they believed to be their duty, will retire into private life, glad to be relieved of a responsibility which they never sought. "I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
