TOWNSHIP TRUSTEES. THEY RESOLVE IN FAVOR OF BETTER PAY AND RE-ELECTION The twelfth annual meeting of the Indiana Trustees’ association was held at Indianafioiis. The most important business of the sesions was transacted late in the afternoon where the reports of committees were read and acted upon. The committees on resolutions, schools, ditches and salaries of trsutees made important reports, which were concurred in by the association. The committee on salaries of trustees made a report as fol- | lows: “ That this bod f instruct its legislative committee to use all honorable means tc have the law so amended that the per diem be increased from 52 to 53 per day. That the lawrelating to tenuie of office of the trustee be so amended that the trustee be made eligible to re-election; that the law relative to the time of making the annual settlements be so amended that the making of township tax levy and the annual settlement be changed to the first Tuesday in August of each year, thereby making the year end on July 31.” the committee on resolutions submitted a report somewhat similar to the foregoing report. Death ot Mrs William R. Corwin. Mrs. Sadie J. Corwin, for many years a teacher here, died Wednesday, December 3, at 1 a. m.,at Fulton, Mo., from a stroke of paralysis. Her remains were brought to Greencastle, Ind., on the day following, for interment. Her sister, Miss Mary Corw-in, Mr. and Mrs. Utten E. Read, and Messrs. N. Field Marrow, August Jutt and Henry Bierbaus. went to Greencastle to attend the funeral. Sarah Jane Crabbs was born April 26, 1852, and at the age of ten years lost her hearing from congestion of the brain. She was admitted to this Institution as a pupil from Decatur. Adams county, in 1869 at the ageof seventeen and in 1871 was appointed a teacher. She held her position until 1877, when she resigned to be married to Mr. William R. Corwin, also deaf, who taught here from 1874 to 1877. In 1880 Mrs. Corwin again accepted an appointment as teacher, where she remained till 1896, when she and Mr. Corwin took positions in the Missouri school for the deaf, at Fulton. Mrs. Corwin, during the long term of service she gave to the deaf, actuated by a deep, underlying principle. She’did not teach because the teaching had to be done and she might as well lie the one to do it as another; nor did she work merely for the reward that came for such service. With a strong character, and unusual native ability fully ripened by ten years of experience, she taught because of her love for the stricken multitude to all of whom she was full sister through her deafness. The world needed her, and of her

best she gave until, with the fires of life still burning brightly she fell at her post. Truly a reward awaits those like her to whom Duty looms large, and who, from the richness of their own lives, give to those not only less endowed, bereft of part of their birthright, the five physical senses. Words can add nothing to the glory of deeds done nor to the beauty of her character.- Indianapolis Silent Hoosier. Mrs. Corwin was reared in this county and a number of her relatives and old friends still live here. Free Libraries. Everybody in Indiana should understand that provision has been made by the law by which the people in any locality in the state can have the benefit of free circulating libraries, and that the work to supply them is being carried on by the Public Library Commission of Indiana, room 85, state house. Indianapolis. to which all betters concerning the matter should be addressed. The libraries are absolutely free.

The libraries are of two classes as follows: General libraries, composed of forty volumes, ' fiction, history, biography, poetry, | science, etc. Study libraries of four-i teen volumes on special topics, agri-1 culture, music, art, literature etc. Especial attenion has been given to the selection of books for young people. Lists of the contents of the libraries and any other information desired can be hail bv addressing the Commission as above directed, also application blanks and rules. Local libraries, literary and other clubs, granges, societies, institutes, colleges, seminaries. etc., rank as library associations on making applications. Revolution imminent.

NEEDED IN MANILA Chaffee and Smith Wanted to Testify In Glenn,, Case. Manila, Dec. court martial which is to try Major Edwin F. Glenn of the Fifth infantry has dec'ded to summon Generals Chaffee and Smith from the United States to testify as to orders given during the conduct of the campaign on the Island of Samar and as to the character of the campaign waged there. The court martial was organized yesterday and Major Glenn arraigned. The formal charge against the major Is that he unlawfully and willfully killed seven prisoners of war, to the prejudice of good order and military discipline and in violation of the 62nd article of war. Major Glenn first entered a special plea denying the jurisdiction of the court on the ground that it lacked power to try a prisoner charged with murder in times of peace. Judge Advocate Godier denied that Major Glenn was charged with murder, and the court overruled the objection. Major Glenn then pleaded not guilty. The defense submitted a request asking the court to summon four witnesses including Generals Chaffee and Smith from the United States. This request was granted. Bank Robbers Worsted.

To the woman who must buy her husband's cravats I want to say a word byway of advice—don't do it, says a writer in the Haberdasher. If you really must buy your husband’s cravats, do ,iot try to get a cravat so warm that it will feel like a mustard plaster on his chest. That might be good for his bronchial tubes, but it might endanger liis chances of ultimate redemption. It would perhaps stave off throat trouble, but it would be apt to produce family trouble, which is a good deal worse. Let him pick out his own cravats, and then he alone will be to blame for them. He may not know much aliout the harmony of colors, but be is not likely, nevi rtheless, to pick out a cravat that will hurt the eyes of the spectators like a limelight at a championship glove contest. He may not know what he wants, but he knows what he does not want, and ten to one. if you have seen something at the cravat counter that you think is perfectly love- | ly, that is it. A Supposition. “Yes." said the wise guy, "I am thor- ] ough!y convinced that honesty is the ; best policy." “1 suppose you have reached that conclusion after having tried both.” murmured the simple mug.—PhiladelDenperatlon.
