E TOO OLD.

Five Years Added to Man's Age in One Day.

Innocently on our part five years were added to the age of our genial friend Ed Hart in this paper yesterday. The writer had "no evil designs on Mr. Hart's future prospects, but caught his remark about being born on the site of the present postoffice building as sixty-nine years ago. He said "sixty four." The balance of the story was correct. His brother, Andrew T., is 69 years old and is now an invalid after an honorable official career. He was formerly deputy United States Marshal and was bailiff of the United States court at Indianapolis until his affliction forced his resignation.

The Hart family is closely connected with the history of this city, and columns of interesting stories could be written of the family and their connections. John B. Hart, father of Ed and Andrew, came to this county with his brother, Andrew, in 1833, and located in this city, conducting the hotel on the corner ot State and Main streets, when the pond in the court house yard was used to wash the horses and stage coaches of that day. He sold the corner to the Goodings who still own the property and have made of it a business block and residence.

The Methodists at Knightstown are in the midst of a big revival meeting and with each succeeding night the general interest is'..* increasing. Rev. Reed, the evangelist, who is conducting the meetings, was greeted with a crowded house last night to hear his discourse on "The Dance.'" Rev. Reed is forceful speaker and held the attention of his audience very closely for one hour and a half, while he poured volley after volley of leaden shotinto the dance and the many vices to which it is akin. During his -talk he made an earnest appeal to the mother to keep a careful watch over the young girls and especially should the mother know her daughter's whereabouts and who she is with after nightfall. He criticized the denominations that permit dancing and card playing and other worldly amusements within the membership in no uncertain tones. In the course of his remarks the evangelist said, among other things, that a high school graduation exercise that wound up with a

danGe did

more harm in

a community than a saloon would do in six months. The revival gives promise of becom ing well heated up before the end of the week.

Under the reign of the new marshal, Joseph Mogul, of New Castle the Sunday closing law was rigidly enforced. The saloons were closed Saturday night promptly at 11 o'clock. Mogul promises to enf?rce the law to the letter. New Castle does not enjoy the distinction of being a city, but is governed without a mayor.

Several Greenfield men have been experimenting recently on an easy scheme for building a fire in base burner. All admit it is an aggravating proceeding to get the fire going once it has gone out in one of these monstrosities. Charles F. Reeves, court reporter, has solved the problen. He has made a pile of brick out of clay and sawdust which he saturated with coaloil. He lays one in the stove, covers it with hard coal, strikes a match and sits and smiles and points at himself as it burns. He says to his friends "try it." ,,

'J-

E. E. Bush, of Chicago, a representative of Prang & Co., was in this city yesterday. The patrons of the city schools have heard something recently no doubt of Prang's paints, for this firm manufactures the high grade water colors that are used in tlie best class of work.

Carey and Bert Walton and Mrs. John Scott of this city were notified last night of the death of their cousin Frank Walton at Rushville. They and their fam ilies will attend the funeral Services which will probably occur tomorrow'. Mr. Walton was a prominent resident of Rushville and was about 50 years old.

After the meeting at New Castle, in which F. B. Sapp will assist L. C. Howe, of the Christian church, Rev. Howe will return the service at Greeufield. Last winter Mr. Howe held a meeting resulting in 217 additions. He is a splendid man and a fine preacher. So the Christian church may look forward hopefully to a good meeting, possibly to begin in February.

& Dliraeli'i Gorgeous Costum*.

When Disraeli was a young man he once went on a vacation trip to Corfu in this extraordinary costume: "A blood red shirt with silver buttons as big as shillings, an immense scarf fot girdle, full of pistols and daggers, red cap, red slippers, broad blue striped jacket and trousers. His servant", engaged for the occasion, wore a Mameluke dress of crimson and gold, with a white turban thirty yards long and a saber glittering like a rainbow."

Ancient Preservation of the Dead.

Herodotus gives a good description of the manner in which the early Ethiopians preserved their dead. Having thoroughly dried the corpse, they plastered it over with a paste made of gypsum and then painted the face and exposed parts so as to make them look as natural as possible. Dead bodies served In this manner remained intact for hundreds of years.
