DUNCAN'S ADMINISTRATION

UP-TO-DATE, OB BEHIND THE TIMES TAKE lODK CHOICE.

Do Our Citizens Prefer Progress and Enterprise? or do They Want to Return to til? Old Flat Bar Style ot Doing Business?

G. T. Randall, of this city, has paid this year, for sidewalks and streets built by his property, the sun of $637.50. This amount does not include his sewer tax. The Duncan administration is becoming very expensive, to say the least, to cur taxpayers, and it is not likely it will be continued long.—Hancock Democrat.

The Democrat for some reason seems desirous of convincing its readers that Greenfield is not a good town. That we are being dragged down by a bad and unwise city government and many other evils too numerous to mention. It is not necessary to state the motives of the Democrat for such a course. Most people understand them. They are not getting the city printing and advertising. The Democrat takes its medicine manfully from the county commissioners and never whimpers—all know the reason why.

Let us candidly consider whether Mr. Randall has been benefitted or injured by the Duncan Administration. We take his case because it is the one brought under consideration bythe Democrat.

When the Duncan regime came in Mr. Randall owned a nice brick block where he was doing business, and an old tumble down, rickety frame£building known as the Dunbar corner, which was an eyesore to the city and very unsuitable to its location. The City Council condemned the building and ordered its removal. Mr. Randall very promptly removed the building, taking one section on S. State street and the other to Springjand Grant streets, where he had vacant lots. These sections were remodeled and thoroughly rebuilt, so that they make fine appearances and are a credit to the cicy and their owner. Their jrents about equal that of the old building from which they were built. Mr. Randall.then proceeded to erect on the Dunbar corner a brick block which is not only the handsomest in our city, but is said to have no equal, for its size, in the State, so far as beauty, arrangement and fconvenience is concerned. It is a model building and will be a monument to its builder for years to come and mark him as a man of public spirit and enterprise. He is proud of the building and so is every loyal Greenfieldian. This building's rental value is $2,400 a year. Having heard of tke enterprise, progress and prosperity of Greenfield under the Duncan regime, and the desirability of business blocks here as an investment, a man from Ohio swapped Mr. R. one of the nuest farms in Indiana, 275 acres near Pendleton for his brick block, 20 and 22 W. Main street, which building is occupied by a number of excellent and prosperous ..tenants, including White et Service, boots, shoes and furnishing goods J. Kraus, the Star Clothier W. B. Cayler, the photographer Carr & Carr, real ^estate and loans, aud Mrs. S. Oftkerson. dressmaking. The Ohio man is well pleased with his investment and the Duncan administration. It is true Mr. Randall has had to pay something for sidewalks and streets, but when the amount of property he owns and the income he derives from it is considered, the umount is not so great. Cement sidewalks have been constructed around his fine brick block, two streets, Main and State, along his South State street property, by his residence and a rental property on East street almost a square, and a new gravel street, a concrete sidewalk aud sewer built by his property on Spring street, all of which is included iu the above bill. Mr. Randall is not kicking, and he would not have the improvements removed and take to the mud and slush again for $1,000. That shows whether he is pleased or not with the Duncan administration. Some people may prefer mud, slush or dust, but Mr. R. and the Dnncan administration do not. Neither do the people of Greenfield. Under the Duncan administration many new streets have been built, miles of cem«nt sidewalk put in, the new High School building, conceded to be the handsomest in the State, and the City Building erected, a fire department added, and our citizens so inspired with the spirit of improvement by the Duncan administration that we are securing.a $35,000 Masonic Temple, a $30,000 brick Hotel, brick business blocks by H. B. Thayer, LeeC. Thayer, J. H. Rottman, M. T. Smith, W. S. 5ant, G. B. Ramsey, L. A. Davis, Henry Gates and others, a fine new Christian church and scores of fine residences, with a fine M. E. church and a new Court House next year. Who wants to turn backward and stop the progress made under the Duncan administration, during which time our reputation for progress and enterprise has increased the city's business more than 50 per cent, and given us a reputation all over Indiana and adjoining States as a pushing, enterprising and successful city, the best in the State.

We could name the new sanitary sewer. the improvements in the electrie light plant, the water works and many other things, but we believe they are known and appreciated by all our people, except

a few. If you do not like the improvements you had better keep still though, because the people do, who believe in the greatest good to the greatest number. In after years Mayor George W. Duncan, Treasurer William G. Smith, Clerk William R. McKown, Marshal Scott, the appointive officers and Councilmen, Banker, Beecher, Eagan, Morford, Moulden and Vaughn, who have all been praciically unanimous for improvements, will be proud to say, "I was a member of the Duncan administration and helped to improve our loved city."

THE directors of the Pennsylvania Railroad have been assured by an electrical expert that they can save $5,000,000 a year in coal bills by using an electric motor fed with a current produced by a gas engine. As to the latest test, an electric engine drew the heaviest load ever drawn by a single locomotive, practical railroad men are beginning to think they may be a good deal closer to a revolution than they dreamed of a y«ar ago.

HQW TO PACK A TRUNK.

Not One Woman In a Hundred Understands This Common Task.

Great eoonomy of space in packing is always necessary, and it will be found much better for a woman with the average amount of dresses to have one small and one largo trunk. In packing all trunks begin by putting a linen towel in the bottom. The heavy cloth suits should go in first. It is well to have the body of each gown with its own skirt. Between each two costumes should be laid one or more sheets of tissue paper. It is far better to pack with the tissue paper than with towels, for it weighs less. If convenient, it is advisable to have a strap tray for each dress, but it is not essential. It is advisable to reserve one shallow tray for parasols, fichus, feather or lace boas and fans. The deep top tray should be arranged for hats and veils. Nothing else should be put in it. Here again the tissue paper should be used in abundance. Bows should be stuffed with it, and it should be crushed in ropelike pieces and twisted about aigrets and garnitures.

The small trunk should be packed with underclothes in the lower half. This trunk should have only one tray, which should be moderately deep and divided into compartments for shoes, gloves, handkerchiefs, stockings—in fact, all small accessories of a gentlewoman's toilet.

How to Make Venus Pudding.

Candied ginger, the yolks of 6 and whites of 3 eggs, a pint of cream and loaf sugar to taste, half an ounce gelatin dissolved in a gill of milk and a glass of sherry. Take a quart mold, butter it well and ornament with candied ginger. Make a custard of the eggs, cream and sugar. Stir over the fire until thick enough then dissolve the gelatin in the milk and add to the custard. Stir in the sherry and pour into the mold and stand aside to set. Dip your mold in cold water and do not dry it before pouring in the pudding. This will make it empty clean from the sides.

Bow an Onion May Be of Use.

The sweet Italian or the Bermuda onions are the ones to be eaten au naturel, the flavor being much more delicate than the common varieties. Onions are really sweeteners of the breath, after the local effects have passed away, as they correct stomach disorders and carry off the accumulated poisons of the system. They provide a blood purifier that all may freely use, aud do perfect work in constipation troubles. As a vermifuge the onion cannot be surpassed, and eaten raw will often check a violent cold in the head. One small onion eaten every night before retiring is a well known doctor's prescription for numerous affections of the head, and is highly recommended for sleeplessness. It acts on the nerves in a soothing way, without the injurious effects of the drugs often applied. The heart of the onion heated and placed in the ear will often relieve the agony of earache, while the sirup produced from sprinkling a sliced onion with sugar and baking in the oven is said to work wonders in a croupy child.

How to Prepare Eartli For House Plants.

To prepare earth for house plants put togther equal parts of the following: Soil from the sides of a barnyard, well rotted manure, and leaf mold from the woods or earth from the inside of an old tree or stump add a small quantity of sand.

For cactuses, put as much sand as of the other materials, and a little fine charcoal.

In selecting plants take those whose branches are close to the surface of tlie soil.

How to Hake Boston Beans AVitliout Meat.

Measure out a quart of white pea beans. Put them in to soak overnight in 3 quarts of cold water. The orthodox dish to bake them in is an unglazed pipkin of earthenware, with a handle and cover. In the morning drain them and rinse them thoroughly in clear cold water. Then put them back in the pipkin in which they have been soaked, add a tablespoonful of salt, an even tablespoon ful of molasses and a teaspoonful of mustard. Stir all thoroughly around in the pot. Put a heaping tablespoon of butter down in the center of the beans. Cover them with cold v/ater, so that it rises two inches above them. Put them in a hot oven at 8 o'clock in the morning and let them cook steadily until 5 in the afternoon, renewing the water as often as it boils off them. Let them brown down in the pot the last hour, and they will be done at 6 o'clock.

How to Bay Furs.

In buying furs, especially for trimming, go to a first class place. Frequently furs have not been taken care of during the summer, and the moth has made his home among the hairs. If a good effect is produced by an imitation fur, buy it, but examine it well. Mink is particularly well imitated, and as the real fur is quite expensive it may be taken. The imitations of ermine are never good, and therefore not to be thought of. Astrakhan is sufficiently low in price to permit any one getting a gown trimming to have the real article itself.

Bow to Make Cottage Pudding.

A cup of sugar (white), half cup of butter, a cup of milk, a pint of flour (sifted), an egg (beaten), a teaspoonful soda (baking), 2 teaspoonfuls cream of tartar. Bake half hour, trying with splint of broom until it comes out dry. Sauce—2 tablespoonfuls of butter, 2 tablespoonfuls flour. Brown wel^ add a pint of hot water, stirring well. Sugar to taste, and add half glass of best brandy.

Bow to Extract Oil Spots.

To extract oil spots from finished goods, saturate the spot with benzine, then place two pieces of very soft blotting paper under and two upon it and press well with a hot iron, and the grease will be absorbed.

SPEECH OF SOUTHERN WOMEN.

An Author Who Thinks It Is the Most Pleasant In America.

Mr. Theodore H. Meade has published a little book on "Our Mother Tongue," in which he takes occasion to criticise the speech of American women, saying, among other things, that it is really a notable thing, a something that is instantly remarked, when an American woman in speaking has a pleasant voice and uses it with good modulation. "But," he continues, "there are women in America who, as a rule, even in conversatiDn, have quite sweet voices and a method of speaking which could be made at once pleasant and correct. I allude to the women of the southern states. This is due, no doubt, to the pure and more sonorous use of the vowels by southern women than by their northern sisters, and to the less harsh employment of the consonants. The useful but dangerous 'r,' which plays such sad havoc in the speech of the majority of Americans, is all but ignored by southern women, and many of them are as innocent of 'r's' as cockneys are of 'h's.' Probably, however, the musical effect comes to a greater extent from a proper use of the vowels—from giving its full significance for instance, to 'u' instead of giving that vowel the sound 'oo.' A southern woman would never speak of reading a 'Noo York noospaper she would not eat 'stoo,' nor would she go out in the 'doo.' She would, however, open the 'doe,' and walk over the 'floe.' She knows her 'u's' very well, but has little acquaintance with any 'r's.' But even the ignoring of the 'r's' entirely has not in it the offense of giving to them more than their due significance. A 'dore' and a 'flore,' where the 'r' in each word is long and somewhat rolling, seem something else than what we should be accustomed to, while the pleasant greeting from a friend, 'Good morning,' with a roll in the 'r,' has in it something of the sound of menace rather than friendliness. "I have often wondered why southern women should use these vowels and consonants more pleasantly than other Americans, and I have reached a conclusion which many southern women— my sisters and other kinsfolk among the rest—will, no doubt, fail to r^piiesce in. They certainly did not acuieve these pleasant results through training, because, if anything, they are not as carefully trained at school as girls in the northern states. Nor could it have been entirely by inheritance, for there is not a great difference between the ancestry of the north and the south, though in the latter section the people may be a trifle more homogeneously English. The difference, I am persuaded, is due in a very great measure, if not entirely, to the influence that the negroes have had in the speech of the southern people. Children, who start out in life with voices as sweet as the chirping birds and tones as pure as the notes of a flute, learn their first words from the nurses in whose charge they are, and southern children are universally reared by negro nurses. What they then learn gradually, and generation by generation, becomes easily a part of the speech of the mature man and woman. "And the woman, staying more at home and coming less in contact with the big world, preserves more of the lessons and habits of infancy than the man. Now the negro, by nature, by instinct, discards what is harsh, discordant and unmusical in speech, and for the same reason adopts that which is pleasant and musical to the ear. I think no one will contest this assumption who has ever beard the negroes speak and sing in those parts of the south where, on account of their numerical superiority, they are very little under any influence save that of their own race. African travelers have also assured me that one of the peculiarities of the savage of the jungle was his natural fondness for the soft sounding and the harmonious. If my theory be true, that negro influence has contributed to the soft, sweet voices of the southern women, then I am sure they have much to thank this race for besides the faithful service which has been rendered by them for so many generations."

Ailing Heirs to Thrones.

The Czarowitz is in the last stages of consumption and he is not expected to leave Copenhagen, where he now is, alive. Archduke Francis Ferdinand of Austria is in a very critical state from disease of the lungs. He has been given unlimited absence from the army and is under medical treatment in a remote health resort in the Tyrol.

The young crown prinec of Italy is also ailing to such a degree as to more than ever convince people that he will not live to succeed to his father's throne. The heir to the Grand Duke of Baden is consumptive and has no heir. Prince Albert of Flanders, unlike his elder brother, the lamented Prince Baldwin, who perished in such a mysterious manner, is extremely delicate, and so, too, is the little crown prince of Germany, whose health is a matter of grave anxiety to his parents. In fact, his second brother, Prince Eitel, his superior in stature, woight, cleverness and general health, is almost universally regarded as the real heir to the throne.

No one would dream of describing the Prince of Wales as a healthy man, while his son, the Duke of York, lias never entirely recovei'ed from the effects of the typhoid fever with which he was laid low just about the time of the death of his elder brother. In one word, ono may look all over Europe without finding a single heir to a throne in whoso health and physique his future subjects can place confidence.—Chicago Record.
