A Milk White IT lag

It is pretty well known that author Charles H. Hoyt never wrote a play in to which he did not introduce some characters from real life. In "A Milk White Flag" the Ransom Guards are pretty faithful copies of a saciety regiment by the same name which existed for years in St. Albans, Vermont. The Guards were named after a General Ransom, who was killed in 1847 in the Mexican war, and who made this famous speech a few minutes before he was killed on riding into battle: "Men of New England, your chance awaits you, accept it." The Guards were organized in 1S5G, and were the pets of St. Albans. During the engagment of the piece at th*i Boston theatre a number of the old ex-mcinbers of the Ransom Guards formed an excursion party and went to Boston to see the production, and while they declared that some of their company had been a trifle exaggerated, all agreed that Mr. Hoyt had not drawn too much on his imagination.

Uy Easy Stages.

Indianapolis News: Mr. and Mrs. Henry Lane Wilson, who are on their way to Chile, are taking the journey leisurely, by way of the Pacific coast, and stopping for a few days at interesting seaports. Many of their friends who did not know this, have supposed that they had arrived in Chile some time ago. But as yet, the cable message expected by relatives in this city, announcing this fact, has not come.

Death of Lida Guthiie.

Box Elder News: There was a large attendance at the funeral of Miss Lida Guthrie last Friday. Only the Sunday before this young lady bad come to her brother's in this city, hoping that the change to the mountain climate would stay that dred enemy, consump tion, but the disease bad too strong a grasp and the frail body succumbed to the angel of death. The deceased was 21 years old, was an accomplished and well educated young lady, a graduate of the Crawfordsville, Ind., High School. The News joins in the nniver 6al expressions of sympathy for the be reaved family, in this their sadened visited to our city.

Ogden Standard: Lida Guthrie,' sister of Robert Guthrie, of Corinne, and niece to J. W. Guthrie, of this city,died at Corinne this morning. The lady has been an invalid for about a year and arrived at Corinne last Sunday with her mother from the East. Time of funeral will ba announced later.

Sunday School Notes of Interest. There will be a special meeting in the interest of the home department of the Sunday school at Linden next Sunday. In the morning at the Methodist church and in the afternoon at the Christian. This township leads the county in this particular line of work, and one of its schools, Fairview at Kirkpatrick, almost leads the State. It occupies third place—two large city schools only have a greater number of members.

It might be interesting while we are talking home department just to note the progress that has been made during the past year. The gain is very gratifying indeed. Every county association has adopted it as a branch of their work, and have elected one or two persons whose duty it is to promote it. Sixty-seven counties have each one or more departments. The State superintendent's annual report shows that 479 schools have adopted it and have thus added 11,184 members to their enrollment. The following is a list of nine counties containing fifteen or more departments—and our county, as usual, leads them all: Montgomery 34, Elkhart 28, Knox 25, Wayne 22, Fountain, Tippecanoe 10, Cass 15, Clark 15, Benton 15. Elkhart county has the greatest number of members 1,205, then comes Knox 050 St. Joseph 495: Clark 470, Wayne 408, Floyd 102, Tippecanoe 458, Montgomery 4 10, Marion 402. The importance of weekly teacher's meetings for the study of the Sunday schools lesson and for business has also been emphasized by the

T^OLLAR WHEAT and Dry Goods still down to zero start the ball rolling toward Graham's Trade Palace for another season's business. The success of our Grand Dissolution Sale was unprecedented. Thousands of dollars' worth of goods were turned into money, and thousands of dollars' worth of new Fall Fabrics now grace our shelves in their stead. There are many lines yet to close. And these we will continue to sacrifice.

STRONG PREPARATIONS FOR THE FALL BUYERS.

Confident of the merits and desirableness of the various lines of merchandise we have secured for Fall patrons, we hope to make our Fall sales the largest in the history. To do this we will make this month a month of hustling, bustling merchandising. We will be satisfied with short profits and long sales, for we want to make more new customers at the TRADE PALACE —a lot of them. Respectfully yours,

the State workers during the past year and much progress has been made. The State superintendent's report shows again of 31 per cent over last year and even yet about 88 per cent of the Sunday schools of Indiana are without teachers' meetings. Elkhart county county takes the lead with 28 teachers meetings, then comes Tippecanoe with 24, Wayne 23, Marion 23, Deleware 18, Floyd 17, Montgomery 17, St. Joseph 16, Cass 15, Knox 17,. Ten county reports show not a single teachers meeting.

During the past year 10,385 persons have been received directly from the Sunday school into church membership, an average'of 315 per Sunday. Tippecanoe county leads in number of conversons, 089. Reckoning from census taken in 1890, because we have no later one, we find that 24 per cent, of the population of our State are enrolled in Sunday schools. Our population, especially in the oil and gas belts, has increased considerably since 1890, and, we doubt not that could we get at the actual facts, that not more than 21 or possibly 22 per cent, of jour population are enrolled. This is not as it should be. Last year 510 schools observed rally day with very gratifying results. This year many more will join mat number. It is reasonably correct to reckon that in the average Sunday school about three-fifths of the enrollment are children and two-fifths adults, including the teachers and officers. On this basis the State of Indiana has 304,302 children in Sunday school and 445,558 out, or 41 per cent, in and 59 per cent. out. One county has but 17 per cent, of the children in Sunday school. Where the spirit of co-operation and association rules the percentage of children in Sunday school increases, and vice versa.

It might be interesting to our Sunday school workers to know where some of our largest schools are situated, We will mention five tchools, each of which enrolls over 800 members:

Disciples of Christ, Valparaiso—M. E. Bogart, superintendent, enrollment

1,111. Methodist Episcopal, Kokomo—G. 0. Roach, superintendent, enrollment 910.

Methodist Episcopal, Frankfort,— Dr. Oliver Gard, superintendent, enrollment 900.

Centenary M. E Terre Haute—W. S. Roney, superintendent, enrollment 900.

Trinity M. E Elkhart—Mrs W.

Thomas, superintendent, enrollment 820. Four of these five schools have Home Departments, of course. The other one could easily add one to two hundred to its enrollment by adopting it.
