ARBOR DAY PROCLAMATION.

A a O a

a a a

Thanks to the general public agitation of the subject of forestry and the enthusiastic interest shown by the public schools, Arbor day has become fairly well observed in Indiana. Governor Mount Wednesday issued a proclamation designating October 20 aB the day for planting trees this year, and in doiDg so took occasion to express his sentimentB upon this subject, in which he is deeply interested. The proclamation is as follows: "In accordance with the sentiment of our people, and agreeable to commendable custom, with a desire to encourage the manifestly increasing interest in the adornment of our homes, public grounds and high ways by the cultivation of trees, vines and flowers, I hereby designate Friday, October 29, A. D. 1897, to be observed as Arbor day in Indiana. The rapidity with which our native forests are being destroyed should cause deep concern. Many of the nations of the old world have realized the disaster that has attended the destruction of timber, and by the paBsage of wise economic laws are now encouraging the planting of trees.

Many of the States of the Union now recognize the necessity of planting trees, and the observance of Arbor day is becoming general. "It seems eminently wise and proper that a day be designated which tlie people of our Commonwealth should be urged to observe by the planting of trees, vin^s and flowers. Homes should be made more attractive through the beauty of these natural ornaments, to which is added the pleasure of refreshing shade. Fruit trees and vines should be cultivated, both for their beauty and for their fruit. Towns and cities should lay the foundation of future beauty and attractiveness through the location of parks and the planting of trees, shrubs and vines. The children of the public bchools, by appropriate exercises, should observe the day in thus beautifying school grounds. Many barren spots in the country may be made attractive and made the basis of future profit by putting into effect practical examples of this honored custom. "Let us all appropriately observe this day, and I trust that the work of individuals may be supplemented by the efforts of societies, communities and especially by the teachers and pupils in our schools

I-'or An Holiest AVheat Tost. The time is here when the new law regulating the testing of grain has a special interest for Montgomery COUDty farmers—that is assuming that it will be lespected at all by grain buyers. The provisions of the iaw are as follows: "It is unlawful for any person, commission agent, miller, dealer in grain, inspector, firm or association, either by himself, otlicer, agent or employe, when purchasing wheat or receiving it in barter or exchange for flour or otherwise, from the owner, his agent or employe to use for the purpose of testing or determining the weight, grade, milling or market value of wheat, any measure other than the standard half bushel measure furnished this State by the United States, and the use of any fractional part of Baid standard half bushel measure for such purpose will be a violation of such section. "It is unlawful to use any thing other than a straight stick with the edges square for leveling the wheat in said half-bushes measure, for the purpose of testing the market value of wheat. "The penalty for violation is a fine of not more than ten dollars to which may be added six months in jail."

Col. Harget, the tramp printer, is to quit the road. He spent 50 years of his life in tramping about the country and is known to nearly every newspaperman and printer in Indiana and Illinois. He is now 78 years of age. The Colonel will go to Colorado Springs and enter the home for aged printers. He should certainly be denied admission at the home, however. He has been a drunken impostor for years and has not a creditable feature in his whole mishap. He has kept soaked in whisky for years by begging money from men who work and haB done practically nothing ejse. He is a frouzy old fraud and the printers' home was not built for the accommodation of BUCll.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LETTER. TRINITY'S NEW PASTOR.

Marion Lawrence, that prince of Sunday school superintendents, who was with us during the State convention held here last year, and to whose addresses we all listened to with so much pleasure and profit, gives the following hints to superintendents: "Keep your eyes and ears always open, but not your mouth. "It is a 6in for any Sunday school to be small when it can be large. "Keep your lines we'll in hand, and always know what you mean to do next. "Aim first to have a good school and the chances are it will become a large school. "As the Sunday school conventions are held from time to time be sure that your school is represented by regularly appointed delegates.

Have a specific programme made out for each session of your school, and make it the subject of prayer the same as you do the lesson. "Always review in your mind each session of the school after it is over for the purpose of detecting defects and correcting them. "No superintendent who understands himself will ever allow himself to be upset by any unusual occurrence during the school session. "A wise driwr with a spirited animal plans to turn a corner before he gets to it. A superintendent of a Sunday school should do likewise. "Train your own teachers: from your own Sunday school:'for your own Sunday school in your own Sunday school. Iu other words, start a normal class.

i.v.V

"Allow no waste of time in passing from one exercise to another. Enough time is wasted at this point in many schools to add a splendid feature to the session. "Keep clothe to your teachers. Fill the place of absent teachers early in the session. "Manage your school or your school will manage you. "Do not preach to your school. You are superintendent. "A Sunday school will not run itself only when it inns down hill. "Have the necessary machinery in your Sunday school, but keep it oiled and out of sight. "Make your giving a feature of worship, offering a prayer each Sunday over the money contributed. "See that your pastor has something to do in the opening or closing services and occupies a place on the platform. "The Sunday school worker who gets all his help from lesson helps will soon need held which the lesson helps cannot give. "Commend in public any specially meritorious act you know to have been performed during the week by any of your scholars. "Five minutes of the closing exercises might well be spent, occasionally at least, in hearing short testimonials from young Christians. "It takes as much grace to run a Sunday s-chool as it does a bank Stock up in this desirable commodity if you would succeed C. R.

I was driving through the ao'untrv the other day with E L. Buchanon, a local druggist and a man who believes in advertising in newspapers, writes Willis B. l'owell. of the Lacon (111.) Journal. I asked why his name never appeared on the fences and dead walls through the country, when I know that a druggist can have his name put to the patent medicine posters and paint posters and other advertising matter with no cost to himself. "It is this way," said he. "Did you ever notice that over three-fourths of the names of firms you see on fences and on posters pasted on the barns are firms that have failed or gone out of business? I do not want to be classed with them. A stranger could not pick out the quick or the dead."—NCWHpapcrdom.

The (ireat International Kp worth Keagno Convent ion.

Rev. Dr. Leech speaks enthusiastically of the great convention of Epworth Leaguers at Toronto, Canada. He says 20,000 delegates were present, and four great auditoriums daily used, including Massey Hall, that seats ten thousand people. The Toronto citizens did everything possible to make their guests happy and their visit enjoyable. It is believed that 40,000 delegates will attend the International convention at Indianapolis* in 1899. Dr. Leech says that the Indiana delegates sang on the return trip in the cars: "Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna!

Three ringing cheers for Indiana. I Oh yes, it will be very line To welcomo Leaguers In ninety-nine."

It will be news to the members of the congregation of Trinity M. E. church to learn that their new pastor, Rev. C. D. Royse, is an inventor and they will read the following from the Indianapolis Journal with no little interest: "Next week there will be exhibited in this city a new method of telegraphing to and from moving railroad trains. This system is the joiut invention of Rev. Clarence D. Royse, of Crawfordsville, and Walter A. Royse, of this city. For two months they have been at work on an idea that has never heretofore been applied in this kind of work and have now completed it an'* are ready to offer it to the public. This system makes every train a telegraph office iu direct communication at all times with all other trains on the road and with all telegraph stations. The advantages of such a system, if perfected, are plain. The present somewhat complicated system of train orders through station telegraph offices would be very much simplified and it would be almost impossible for a collision to occur. This is a thing that many of the leading electricians of the country have sought for years, but all have failed to bring forth anything that is practical or cheap enough to be within reach, although it has been previously demonstrated as a scientific fact that communication might be had with a moving train. The inventors of this system say it is so simple and cheap that it seems almost impossible that it has not been discovered before. "The day for the exhibition has not been determined yet, but it will most likely be some time next week. A number of railroad men interested in the telegraph Jepartmeut will be invited to inspect the model apparatus that has been built. While the exhibition will not be a public display, any one interested in telegraphy will be welcomed."

The Rev. Mr. Royse stated yestreday

morning

to the JOUKNAI, that the in­

vention had already been tested with results which were eminently satisfactory. He is thoroughly convinced that the invention will prove the success he hopes and believes that it will result in great good.

The Crawfordsville friends of II. Li. Boudinot will be interested in the following extract from the Terre Haute Tribune: "An unusual incident occurred last night in Terre Haute. Prof. P. J. Breinig, the well known composer, has been at work for some, time upon a funeral march for H. II. Boudinot, the attorney. The work was completed a few days ago, and last nightafter their engagement at the Casino the Ringgold band, of which Professor Breinig is leader, repaired to Mr. Boudinot's residence on Eagle street, near Sixth. There the Colonel's own dirge was rendered is a most artistic manner, much to his satisfaction (real or assumed^ and to the great consternation of the residents of thai vicinity, who were aroused from their peaceful slumbers. Imagine their thoughts when they awake at midnight to hear one of the most impressive fureral marches ever rendered iu the city. The incident was novel in the extreme. At the conclusion of the music, Colonel Boudinot thanked the band heartily and the tnubio was then filed away, to be used no more until the occasion for which it was written. The rendition of one's own funeral march is certainly unique, but it was composed at Colonel Boudinot's special request.

Ward, the 4-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Evan Shelby, of Kokomo. formerly of Linden, met wfth a very sad accident on July 12. The little fellow was cutting cardboard with a pair of sharp pointed shears when one of the blades accidentally pierced his eye, destroying tne sight immediately. There is danger that the sight of the other eye may be lost through sympathy.

Special tn the Journal.

Ixdianai'dms, July 22.—Judge Showalter of the Federal court has sent down from Chicago an opinion sustaining his former decision in the three cent street car fare law. The law applies to this city alone. The State Supremo Court held it constitutional and the Federal court finds it unconstitutional and sticks to it. The State and city will not permit it to rest here, but have not yet decided upon a course. The officials are enjoined from enforcing the three cent law but citizens are not enjoined and the probabilities are that they will organize to decline to pay more than three cents.
