The Hottest thing hereabouts this season is the taste of the average cantaloupe or muskmelon. The melons are plentiful but the taste is missing. The Indianapolis News has issued a column on the democratic city election and has said nothing. Seems as if the News will support both Trusler and Taggart.

Some of the Indiana cities are congratulating over the fact of the late rains, claiming they will put a stop to fever epidemics. Greencastle is so well drained naturally there is no fever here.

Some of the smaller cities in the state are improving their mail service by having an all night clerk in the postotflce. The clerk goes on duty at seven o’clock, when the day clerks leave and takes care of all the mail that is dropped in after that hour. He sorts it and gets it out by the first train. This practically gives the office a night ser vice as well as a day. This clerk also opens the mails as they arrive, and at seven o’clock in the morn ,ing the mails are ready for the public. This is done in cities having fewer trains than Greencastle and

works well anti entails less labor on Lite day clerks. The Greencastle office has a large number of night mails but they are made up at the close of the day’s work. The hotels, however, sends out night mails. Whether the new system will he placed in operation here is not known, nor do we claim is is necessary. It is given as a pointer as to how some of the other cities the size of Greencastle are experimenting, and they claim it is a good thing. The mails are taken from and delivered to the office the same as in day time. At last, the pension roll of the revolution is closed farever, as the last pensioner has died. The pension office has been notified of the death of Mary Brown, of Knoxville, Tenn., at the of 91 years. This woman became a revolutionary pen sioner from the fact that she was the widow of Joe Brown, a revolutionary soldier, whom she married in 1*24, at the age of 20 years. Her pension amounted to $12 per month. A rush of saloon keepers in New York to voluntarily pay fines, was one of the funnv scenes in the metropolis yesterday. The court told the saloonists if they would plead guilty by Sept. 1, that they would be let off with $25 fine, but if they delayed they would lie fined $300. The rush was like a foot hall scramble and the scene was a queer pro feeding where Tammany has so long held sway. The saloons of New York will have to obey laws just as they will elsewhere.

Tlie Coming IloraeleH* Carriage. Of tins horseless carriage, whieli will be in as general use some day as the bicycle, several things arealready settled. It will be like the safety bicycle, low and close to the ground, so as to make an eas}’ step from it, and this will greatly reduce serious accidents. It will no longer be necessary to place the driver high up in the air, so that he can look over and so control his horse. For a somewhat similar reason, the new carriage will be far lighter than its predecessor, which was made heavy, largely to protect it from the horses, from hi ing kicked or pulled to pieces by them. The pneumatic tire may be used for light vehicles, hut for rougher work a strong cushion tire will probably he needed. ChriHiian Church.

for the very good reason that there will he none to elect. The Supreme court of Indiana on yesterday held that the law passed by the late legislature, which changed the time of electing county school superintendents from June to August, was decidedly unconstitutional. The law was regarded by some as unconstitutional and in some counties elections were held under the old law in June. These it seems were all right. In Putnam count} - no election was held and several candidates were grooming for the fray next Monday. These were F. M. Lyon. S. A. Harris, John Sinclair and J. Q. Vermillion and each had some votes pledged. The republicans had six votes and would have had some say in the result had there been one. The calculations were all knocked crooked today by the news of the Supreme court’s decision, which is noteti in our telegraph columns today. Mr. F. M. Lyon, the present incumbent of the office will hold over to the next term, until June 1897. He has the position handed to him, as it were, as a silver platter for he gets it without the formality or a struggle. He received a telegram last night informing him of the decision and it wasn't bad news to him. The trustees therefore on next Monday will have nothing to do in the election line.

Dr. tVolin'N Plan*. Special to the liidhumpoliH Journal. Terre Haute, Ind., Aug. xO.—It is stated on good authority that ex-President John, of DePauw Un iversity, will not accept the call to the pastorate of Trinity M. E. Church, Chicago. Dr. John once before declined an offer of this pulpit, and is now in Chicago giv ing trustees of the church his rea sons for not accepting their urgent call. Ex-President John is meeting with great success in his new lecture, which is a reply to Ingersoll. In October he is to deliver the lecture at English’s Opera House. Indianapolis, under the auspices of all the young people’s Christian societies of that city. This will mark the formal entrance of Dr. John into the regular lecture field, where he will probably remain un til opportunity offers for resuming his chosen work in the field of education.

interesting, enlisting fewer men, and allowing much less scope for the cultivation of moral traits.” He believes that -‘a perfectly adequate remedy for the evils alleged lies in better work by umpires and referees.” He cities authorities, and concludes that “for those in perfect health are trained to it, football is safer than either rowing, yaching, gunning or riding to

Ladoga Leader.

At the home of the bride’s par ents in Raccoon, James F. Foster, of Ladoga, and Birdie M. Ridlen, of Raccoon, were united in marriage Wednesday, August 2 s , at seven p. m , Rev. A. W. Wood, of the M. E. church, officiating. Only the parents ami a few near relatives

were present.

The bride is an accomplished young lad}’, a leader in the social and religious circles of her native town, and held in high esteem by a host of friends. She is in every wtiy qualified its the mistress of a happy home, and to such a home she comes. Ladoga society will

welcome her.

Mr. Foster is a popular young druggist, and a business man of brightest prospects. He came here over a year ago from the home farm near Parkersburg, and has constantly grown in favor among our people. He is worthy of the woman who is now his wife, and capable of earing for her in such a way as to make her life a happy one. The young couple will make their home in Ladoga, where the groom had a pleasant cottage remodeled and completely furnished before his wedding day. This home is on east Main street, and is one of the many attractive resi dences in that part of town. Our people extend congratulations and wish for Mr. Fister and wife a long and happy married life.

There is it story of uu English curate who, having been instituted in his new office, went about the parish to make acquaintance with his congregation. One day he called on an honest farmer, who asked him how he liked Devonshire. ‘‘Oh, I like it exceedingly,” said the curate, ‘‘but I find it rather muddy. I notice, however,” he continued, pointing to the fanner’s boot, which had a prodigiously thick sole, ‘‘that you take a very sensible precaution to keep out

of the wet. ”

“Well, you see, Mr. S said the farmer, “I have a club foot. ” The curate, who was tho shiest and most sensitive of men, fled from the house, so much was he grieved over the unintentional cruelty of his speech. James Payn says he always considered this story very humorous, and once told it in his “best manner” at a largo dinner party in a house where he had never dined before. During the narration he received a violent kick under the table from his next neighbor, but supposing it to be accidental went on talking. Tho tale was received in total silence, and it was some time before general conversation was resumed. “That was a very amusing story,” whispered his neighbor. Mr. Payn was a little indignant at tho want of appreciation shown by the others and rejoined quickly, “But exceedingly stupid people to tell it to!” “No, my dear fellow, it isn’t that Our host has a club foot. ’’—Argonaut.
