Columbus played thirteen games of chess simultaneously and won eight of them. That is considerable of an achievement in itself but when the fact is taken into consideration that Mr. Cooper now has plenty of time on his hands there is nothing so very remarkable about It. He hasn't so much fencing to look after m this year. Is it because Mr. Mark of the poor farm is a relative of one of the county commissioners that he was put in the place of Mr. Shoptaugh? The peoole of Putnam county should petition for a change back to the old management. Two indictments in one term of the grand jury form a record that is a decidedly had start tor the new superintendent.

REPUBLICANS, ATTENTION! Mm». Meeting (ailed for I iiiliniinpolin for Wefltifuthiy, Nov. 20. Republican State Com. Rooms, Indianapolis, Nov. <i, 1N95. Following their usual custom the republicans of Indiana will gather in mass conference at Indianapolis on Wednesday, Nov. 20, to exchange views and talk over the fu tore of the part}’. No special invitations for the meeting have been issued, but ail republicans are cordially invited to come to the capital and join with their brethren from other sections of the state in giving and receiving advice and information for the good of the cause. The recent elections throughout the country have amply demonstrated that this is not a year when republicans stay at home and we confidently expect » large attendance from each county in the state.

A Yount; l.udy h View. A young lady of Greencastle re cently took the editor of this paper into her confidence and told him a story which, while not given as a complaint, states some things that she says can be backed up by ob servation. Her talk was the society young men of the city. “It is a noticeable fact” said the young lady, -‘that the average young society man of this city is a trifie selfish. He calls to see us all right enough and spends his evenings at our homes in cards or other amus< • ments, attends our parties and occasionally takes us out to private dances. But. did you ever notice how few of our young men take young ladies out to entertainments, ■hows and concerts when there is u dollar or two involved?” The writer hadn’t given the thought much attention and said so. “Well,” continued the young lady, “just put on your specs some Highland count the young men of this city who, when a real good entertainment comes our way, go down into their cash boxes and produce the neces sary amount of Uncle Sam’s coin to take himself and company to the show.” The young lady gave a saucy toss of her head as she left the writer, which indicated that, she hadn’t needed any spectacles to observe. The Banner Times gives the above interview as it heard it, and, while not down on the young men, prints it for their “observa-

tion.”

An Karly Warning. rniwt'ordHvUlc* Journal.

The newspapees have this early begun to warn the ladies of marriageable age that 1890 will be the last leap year for eight years, and that if their only hope is in their own aggressiveness, they must begin to prepare for the final campaign. They add that in another eight years some of their charms will fade away. It will also he well to say that the unprecented number of divorces may teud to

overstock the market.

The skipping of a leap year in 1900 is due to the fact that even hundred years are not leap years, unless exactly divided by 400. The extra day in February is omitted in those years, which open the centuries, in order to keep the calendar correct. By the present arrangement it will require thousands w ars to lose or gain a day.

Gutlirie-Moyer Concert.

A fair sized audience heard the Guthrie—Moyer concert in Meharry hall Wednesday evening. In some respects the entertainment was not up to the standard expectedconside ingits press notices. The vocalists did not bring out much enthusiasm, Mdme. Moyer not excepted. The solo from the “Queen of Sheba” was Madame Moyer’s best number and she gave it in an artistic man ner, overcoming its difficulties and sustaining its high notes admirably. Her Saint-Saens selection, “My heart at thy dear voice” did not meet with the approval it has received at the hands of other singers here, as it was suag too slowly and with too much effort. Mdme. Moyer was recalled in the second part of the program and sang as an encore a waltz song. The pinging of Mr. Stow was fair, only, while that of Sig. Svedelius was better and met with more applause. Miss Losey was pleasing as a violiniste and met with a recall. She has an unaffected and pleasing stage presence that adds greatly to her work. Mr. Schmall, the pianist, gave the most satisfactory work of the program. His salos were well given and were of a variety to please all. He is a brilliant player with much fire and has good execution. Faulty use of the peddles in the Chopin polonaise, however, marred the opening chords ot that selection. As an accompanist his work was admirable and he snowed true sympathetic feeling

with the soloists.

l>(*lraonico*» at Six.

Mr. Glen MacDonough's farce comedy in three laughable acts entitled “Delmouico’s at 6.” under the management of Mr. J. M. Ward, will appear at the opera house on Wednesday evening, Nov. 20. “Delimonioo’s at 0” is pleasing and praiseworthy in its freedom from horse play and slang. In Mr. MaeDonough’s fun making there is no temptation to search for tlaws in his work, even Irom critical dis sections of unpretentious force. Mr. Glen MacDonough who gave us sample of his ability in “Prod'gal Father'’ lias done even better in his late play “Delmonico’s at 8.” vV ith all of the well known people ManaI gcr Ward has engaged for the sea- | son of 1895 1896, including Miss I Nellie Dunbar, Miss Ollie Evans, !

has given to the public through his paper. The public has been un duly prejudiced against foot ball by wild and baseless statements of this sort made either by [persons who are deceived by others, or who are so blind in their opposition to the game that they do not care to investigate the faets m the case. Many times correspondents who send accounts of the game to the press associations exaggerate the circumstances in order to make news of them. Two or three years ago, through an error of this sort, the physical director of the Y. M. C. A. at Columbus, Ind., was re ported to have been killed in a foot hall match and the circumstance formed the basis of a frantic phi lippic against foot ball by a minis ter in a neighboring town. It turned out that the man was not even dangerously injured. “Several thousand young men are playing foot ball this season and so far but two eases of serious injury have been reported. Not one of the several hundred young men who have been playing the game in Indiana this season has been hurt to amount to anything. Certainly cycling has resulted in more injuries, and is fully as dangerous. It is about time for those who have been making foolish and reckless statements about things concerning which they know noth ing to begin to have more regard for their reputation as men of veracity and good judgment.” Look Plennant. Wear a sunny face. It is ycur privilege to do so and you can if you will. It will do you good and it will do good to those about you. It has the quality of mercy; it is twice blessed. It blesses its possessor, and all who come under its benign influence; it is a daily boon to him who wears it, and a constant, over flowing benediction to all his friends. Men and women, youth and children seek the friendship of the sunny-faced. All doors arc open to them that smile. All social circles welcome cheeriness. A sunny (ace is an open sesame to heart and home. By it burdens are lightened, cares dispelled, sorrows vanished, and hope made to reign triumphant, where fear, doubt and despondemy held high carnival.

This wash-stand | is arranged so that it is really a receptacle for hats, bonnets and small arti-1 eles; also containing a clothes brush. | hair brush, comb, etc., and by pulling down the metal handle a large silver wash basin is brought into position, and J right above the basin are two faucets, I one for hot and the other for cold water. In addition to this is a faucet connecting with a drinking fountain of ice water. In the other corner of the room is a handsomely cushioned seat which can be turned to one side, exposing the closet.

l.lt.mry Not* from Th« Ccnturj Co. In the spring of 1894 M. James Tissot exhibited in the Champ de Mara a portion of his magnificent illustrations for the “Life of Christ,” shortly to be published Their effect upon those who saw them is said to have been curious. People went away weeping, and women made the tour of the room on their knees. Many came from the provinces in groups, with return tickets, and at the end the exhibition partook of the nature of a pilgrimage. The pictures have little of the familiar religious symbolism, being, as Theodore Stanton says, “pure realism tempered by sincere faith.” Twelve of the most notable of the pictures, including the Crucifixion and Christ before Pilate, will be reproduced in the Christmas Century.

you first take home an

alarm clock you chuckle to yourself and think that the alarm is loud enough to wake the dead, and that you will never be late to otHce again on account of over-sleeping. The first morning, or two or three mornings, perhaps, it works like a charm, but after that you don’t hear it at all, and sleep on as serenely as before. Now we have often thought that if a man hud an alarm clock that would make a different noise every morning, a clock for instance, that would yell “fire” one morning, “murder” the next, “what’ll it he, gentlemen v ” the next, and soon, he would never fail to wake up. It’s the same wav with an advertisement. It works the fiist time all right; if it is sufficiently loud and strong, perhaps it will work a time or two more hut after the public sleeps on as serenely as before. Make it say a different thing every

dav, and watch the result.
