Faust.

John Griffith is h ;Toorl devil: Paradoxical: Yes, but very correct, lie looks, speaks, moves and breathes the devil. It shines in the flash of his eye: echoes in the quiver of his \oiep; stirs in the ; stealth of every move and is re I vealed in the rise and fall of his chest. lie will hold the earthly audiences that may assemble at the opera house this coming Friday night, spell bound, and fell their senses into appreciativeness by the beauty of his art. The personal freshness of ‘ Faust" is not marred by repeated representations. Other have created the modern piece bv the adoption of elaborate scenic and spectacular accessories, but it remained for Griffith to create a part in Mephisto, which is equalled by none in the subtle dev ilishness of its conception and the thoroughness of its execution. In his version lie clearly follows that of Mr. Irving, he sticks close to the text of Goethe, and not the operatic fac simile, of many others. With scenic and electrical effects that are marvelous, this production should fill the opera house to the very door.

Of the Putnam County Historical Society on Tuesday Evening. There were about sixty people in at tlic second minor meeting of the Putnam County Historical society. The minutes of the previous meetings were read by Secretary Taylor, after which he was excused on account of illness at home, and Harry SI. Smith acted as secretary pro teui during the meeting. The exercises were opened with music by I the choir of the Christian church, after which L. 1*. Chapin led in

prayer.

A paper was reported by the piogram committee from Mr. J. E. M. O'Hair, also one by Mrs. D. E. Williamson. They were by vote of the society carried over to the April meeting, when the}' will he given special places on the program. Hon. W. II. Kagan had the first regular place on the program, his subject being “Other Reyolu tionuty Soldiers.” He prefaced his remarks by stating that his forI mer paper on Revolutionary solI (tiers had attracted considerable attention over the county, especially when the county papers circu lated, and he read two letters from Wm. Thornton Scott, of Holton, Kas., and Mrs. C. A. Hopkins, of Sarcoxie, Mo., former citizens of the county, and one from Isaac Cartngbt, of Fillmore. .Mr. Ragan then spoke as follows:

South C*r«*eucuMtle. Albert Rrowning is attending the funeral of an uncle at Clayton today. I). E. Watson, of Cloverdale, is in the city today. Farmers from south Putnam report wheat in good condition thus far.

Thekk is absolute necessity in choosing directors for the state prison south to have one local and resident director of the institution on the board. Not only is this customary, but necessary, from the fad that the management is then under the eye ol the local director, and there is very much less liability of crooked work being carried or,. Wher»- prison hoards are all non-residents it is a very easy mat-j ter for abuses to creep in. and when they are once in it is a very difli cult matter to correct them. A lo cal director would prevent any jobbery such as would be tempted by the absence of the entire board, which meets officially but once a month, and then only for routine business. Mr. John C. Zulautf, of Jeffersonville, is a candidate for a position on the board of directors of the prison south, and his executive ability, energy and watchfulness would make him a valuable man to the best interests of the state in that position. The appointments are to be made next Tuesday by the state officers.

John Whitted, Thomas Grider and William Cornwell were residents of

William Glazehrook, Isaac A rmstrong and Thomas Richardson were known as belonging in Warren township. James Khoten is claimed for Clinton

township.

George Hammer and John Walden died in the county, and their wives made application through the circuit court for widows’ pensions. These facts an* of record. George Black, Leaton and Stone have been suggested as names of Revolutionary soldiers haying lived and died in the county. It was resolved by vote of the °ociety that Mr. Ragan’s paper and the other papers which had been given at previous meetings and at present meeting should be filed in the archives of the society. Mr. Ragan’s paper wuis discussed by Dr. J. C. Ridpath, who in commenting on the thirty-one Revolutionary soldiers of Putnam said the number was remarkably large, and that ratio would show Indiana to have been the home of 3000 of the Rev< - lutionary settlers, and that the northwestern territory would at the same rate have harbored 30,000 of them! He predicted tha f there was uo parallel to the showing of Put nam county in any county west of the Alleghany mountains. Miss Nellie Matson sang • List Rose of Summer” beautifully, receiving lib-

desire of this society, in this way, to ultimately complete the roster (if all Revolutionary soldiers who have ever resided within the limits of our county. As far as I am now able, I have arranged the following list of names by townships, hut there are some of whom 1 have no data whatever further than the mere taniilv name. These I present, as already suggested, hoping thereby to call forth further facts in tlnj future. It will be seer, that this list is hv no means complete, since several of the townships are yet to hear from:

Arthur Mahorney, a b other of Ben-j s ar .n jamin. already referred to, resided in | ^

Greencastle. He subsequently moved

to Illinois.

Israel Perkins resided in the eastern portion of Greeneastie township. Was buried in the old city cemetery. John Cunningham also lived in this township, about two miles east of the ehy. He was buried on the farm now

owned by James Bryan.

Thomas Walls lived in Greencastle. Was interred at the old cemetery. Edward Talbott lived near the Junc-

command.

Dr. Ridpath and J. R. M. Allen gave interesting talks on the township and its early citizens. The society transacted some minor Imsiness. thanked the singers and ad-

journed.

“Historical Sketch of Marion Tow nsiiip.” Mr. Denny stated that his paper was not infallible nor fully comprehensive, as there were many things that should he introduced in a complete history of the township which tune and uncertain dates prevented him using. i!e said the
