THE STATE WOOL GROWERS. The Restoration of the W r ool Tariff Favored —A PJea for Better Dog Laws. The annual meeting of the Indiana Wool-grow-ers Association began yesterday afternoon. President C. T. Xixcn, of Greenfield, being absent by reason of illness, Fielding Beeler, of Indianapolis, was called to the chair, with I. J. Farquliar, of Winchester, secretary. A committee consisting of S. W. Dungan, Fi*ankiin, J. B. Harkless, Knightstovvn; Nixon Henley, Monrovia; I. J. Farquhar, Winchester; C. A. Allen, Indianapolis, and M. Levering, Lafayette, was chosen to draft a bill for a dog law to present to the Legislature. Robert Mitchell. Princeton, and Charles Howland, Indianapolis, were chosen to wait upon the Governor, and invite him to address the association this forenoon. 8. W. Dungan read a paper on “Cotswold sheep; their origin, together with their adaptation to the wants of the sheep raisers of Indiana.” He showed that the Cotswold has an ancient origin or history. It is said to have been introduced in England from Spain by Eleanora, Queen of Henry 11. of England iu twelfth century. Although there is nothing more than tradition to support this, yet there is some corroboration of it in the fact that in Spain there has long existed, and is now, a breed of coarse, long-wooled sheep not unlike the original Cotswold in some respects. It is known, however, that, in fifty years after this early date, the wool of Cotswold sheep was a source of material wealth, and they were justly guarded by law. Three centuries after this, in 1467, permission was granted by the English King, Edward IV, as a royal favor, to export some of these sheep to Spain. They were originally very coarse animals with thick, heavy fleeces, well adapted to this home upon the bleak, exposed Cotswold hills. So valuable and staple a breed could not Jong remain without improvement. :* L 1 ~ .<ie sweet, nutritious herbage of the limestone soil covering these hills favored this improvement and as the pastures become inclosed and agriculture improved in character the flocks improved with it. When the leicesters became the most popular sheep of England it was made to assist in improving tho Cotswolds. It gave to the breed a better quality and smoothness while it did not lesson its natural hardiness of constitution. This breed has become so common in the United States and has been bred so extensively without fresh importations of new blood that it may well be adopted as a native sheep. Many excellent flocks are now self-sustaining and under their American nativity lose nothiug of their original excellence. The paper was discussed at considerable length. Messrs. Darnall, Howland, Nelson. Dungan, Farquhar, Goodwin. Ging, Henley, Remy, Robe, Wiley, Tomlinson, Quick, Conkle, Conner, Smiley, Aikrnan aud others taking part in the discussion. Mr. Mitchell, of Princeton, moved that a committee be appointed to draft a petition to be sent to Indiana's senators and representatives in Congress, asking as wool-growers, the restoration of the tariff on wool. Charles Howland, of Indianapolis, said he opposed any such course. He was opposed to pleading the baby act; did not believe this country needed any protection and that it could compete with any country in the world. Mr. Mitchell said to carry a hundred pounds from some places in the West to the seaboard, a freightage of thirty-three cents was charged. That hundred pounds made the sea voyage to England at six cents, or it coaid be taken for less. England is not the market for our wool anyway. The wool-grower in the United States cannot compete with the South American. Here lands are worth from S3O to SIOO an acre, and labor from seventy-live cents to $1 a day; in South America labor was almost nothing, and thousands upon thousands of acres of sheep-lands were to be bad at from one rent to one and a half cents an acre—about as cheap as air in this country. The motion carried, only Mr. Howland voting in the negative. Messrs. Mitchell, Wilson and Tomlinson were chosen as the committee. A discussion of the dog law and its insufficiency sprang up, and some personal experience was given. Air. Mitchell gave testimony to the efficiency of tho bird-dog as a sheep killer, and gave a graphic description of summary vengeance meted out to two noble specimens of the tribe in Gibson county. C. F. Darnell said he had recently spoken to Senator Willard, the foremost champion of the present pernicious dog law. “I spoke to him,” said Mr. Darnell, “of the urgent need of an effective dog law. lie said he wouldn't do anything. I then told him he did not stand very well now w ith the sheep-raisers of Indiana, and their influence would be exerted against him, when ho said to me —well. I don’t care to say what he did say.” Mr. Howland—“He consigned them, didn’t he?” Mr. Darnell—“ Yes, that’s just what he did do.” A gentleman here murmured that he understood that Senator Willard is a sportsman, that is, he is a frog-shooter, and perhaps had a dog. Messrs. Dungan, Herkless and Nelson were appointed a committee on programme. The meeting thou adjourned to meet at 9 o’clock this morning. AMUSEMENTS, ENGLISH OPERA-HOUSE —“A MIDNIGHT MARRIAGE.” “A Midnight Marriage,” which had its first presentation before an Indianapolis audience at English's, last night, is not, as its title would seem to indicate, a trashy, sensational society play, but a dignified, strongly-written, romantic drama, with a semi-historical story, treated in a manner that is suggestive of recognized classical dramatic composition. The scene is laid in Franco in the Sixteenth century, and the plot is made partially dependent upon the political condition of that, time and country. It is a story of love and tragedy, suffering and ultimate happiness, and the dramatist has made such skillful use of these various elements that the result is a play of thoroughly sustained interest* effective climaxes and marked literary excellence. Its sombreness is unrelieved by any comedy, and the popular taste may consider this a fault. The play was put on the stage with scenery and costumes Historically accurate and consistent, and well acted. Mr. William ltedmund. the leading man, played the Count de Laught with marked dignity and force, and Mrs. Thomas Barry, a thoroughly intelligeut and natural actress, gave a very striking impersonation of the part of Hortense de Guise. The cast otherwise was capable, the wirk of Mr, Owen, Mr. Sprague and Miss Van Loren being especially noteworthy. There was a large and ap Sreeiative audience in attendance. “A Midnight tarriage” will continue to be the attraction during the remainder of the week. THE LYRA CONCERT. A large and fashionably-attired audience attended the third regular concert given by the Lyra Society, at their hall last night. The programme was exceedingly interesting and well rendered, but it was somewhat too long. The overtures by the orchestra, which were given with marked*precision and expression, and the choruses, were the most notable features, although the other numbers were vry creditable. Mrs. Barmeier. who was in wry good voice, sang a solo, and took a part in luc quartette “Morning,” with Miss Jessie Meek Mr .\ Smith and Mr. Fred Loomis, which ••** -eived with various enthusiastic demonstration* Tho piano selection, “La Concordiuncu” (Archer), for eight hands, by Missess Nettio Diet*, ah, Euielio Klein.

Conrad Pflum, a laborer, aged about thirtyfive, committed suicide sometime during Wednesday night by taking poison. He had been out of work for some time, and bad been drinking heavily. About a week ago he went to his wife’s home, No. 28 Wisconsin streot, beat and abused her, and cut one of the children on the arm with a knife. He loafed about town at various places since then, and about 8 o’clock on Wednesday evening he went to tho California House, on South Illinois street, and engaged a room, registering as “John Beck, Kokomo, lud.,” which, by the way, was the name of his wife’s first husband. Yesterday morning, when the chambermaid entered the room, she found him dead in bed, partially undressed, and with an empty morphine bottle by his side, the contents of which he had evidently swallowed early in the night In a pocket was found a note, written in German, of which the followiug is X tion: Indianapolis, Jan. 27. Dear Children and Wife: Should anything unusual come to your ears don’t get scared about it. Good-bye. ami don’t forget me. May the German papers hold nothing back. Goodbye, all. Conrad P?lum. Pflum leaves his wife and two children, and she has besides four other children by her first husband, to support. The Exhibition Drill. The Indianapolis Light Infantry, the Itichardon Zouaves, and the Indianapolis Light Artillery will give an exhibition drill at Masonic Hall Armory, this evening, for the benefit of the members of the Legislature who may have an interest in such matters, and an invitation is extended to the general public to be present. The militia men while freely expressing their disappointment at the refusal of the House to pass their bill, say they are not going to pout over it, and will accept whatever the can get from the Legislature thankfully. State Normal School Trustees. The Governor yesterday sent in to tho Senate for confirmation the following appointments of trustees of the State Normal School at Terre Haute: Murray Briggs, of Sullivan; William E. McLean, of Terre Haute; Benjamin F. Spann, of Anderson; Barnabas C. Hobbs, of Bloomiugdale. . Knew the Queen. Harper’s Bazar. It is said that the Queen is a most considerate visitor, always being pleased with whatever is done for her; but sometimes, from her fondness for going about in tho country, especially in Scotland, with almost no special attendant, awkward or amusing incideuts occur. On one occasion, while staying at the house of a Scotch nobleman, she was walking about the park with only the Princess Beatrice, and encountering an old woman, enterod into conversation with her. The dame asked her almost at once whether she had seen her Majesty, and, on the Queen’s replying, “Yes, I see her every morning before breakfast,” the old woman inquired, eagerly—“Oh, but is she as good as she looks in the prints I used to see of her when I was younger?” The Queen laughed and replied that Her Majesty was rather flattered in her pictures; and the woman again urged her to say what she looded like. •‘Well,” said the Queen, still much amused, “she and I are said to look so much alike you would hardly know us apart.” “Well, you are not so very ill-favored yourself,” was the dame’s considerate answer, which so entertained Her Majesty that she bade the woman come to the castle that afternoon, promising her that she should not only see but speak to the Queen herself. The sequel may be imagined. Dressed in her very best, the old Scotch woman presented herself at Castle R at the appointed time, was conducted through endless condors, and up and down, to a room iu which soon after she entered, the Queen appeared. “Eh! so you are here, too!” the old woman exclaimed; but almost immediately it was made known to her in whose presence she was standing. As may be inferred, tho visit resulted iu much profit to tho good womau and considerable amusement to the Queen and Princess Beatrice. He Kecited a Verse. New York Commercial Advertiser. A lively little boy of five years was taken to Sunday-school for the first time. He sang the hymns with the infant dap with much spirit, but became very weary o’ the recitations. At length the teacher asked tho little fellow it he would say a verse. H* at once recited to the astonished"class tho history of “The Wolf and the Seven Kids,” adding, “J wish I was a sly old fox, for I would eat you all up,” and, suiting the action to tho word, so frightched the infante that he had to be taken from the room, and it was some.time before order could bo restored iu the class.'

HUMOR OF THE DAY. No Symptoms. New York Sun. Mother—Are you quite sure, dear, that young Featherly is not fond of you? He certainly seemed very devoted last night when he buttoned your glove. Daughter—Ah, yes, mother, but hi.s hand never trembled. Hard on the Doll. Hartford Post. The real true blue orthodoxy seems to get hold of some of the little foiks with a fascinating sor,c . o / B r *P- Heaven and the “other place” are realities to them. Said Johnnie, the other day, as he picked up his sister's doll and looked at it earnestly: “I’ll kill you and then you’ll go “Johnnie, Johnnie!” said his mother. “That’s very wicked. You shouldn't send the dolly to the bad place.” “She’s chuck full o’ cotton, and she’d burn, anyhow.” God be with Us— Except tlie Cook. Brunswick (Ga.) Appeal. The cabin of the ill-fated German bark Cosmo, which foundered on Wolf Island last week, came ashore on St. Simon's beach about half way between St. Simon’s Light Station and Retreat last Friday. On a beam on one side of the cabin, in large black German text is the name Cosmo. On tho inside of the cabin on top is the motto, “Gott mit uns" (God be with us). Directly under the motto is, in pencil, plainly written, “Except the cook.” Evidently upon some voyage during the existence of this bark some poor unfortunate cook had called down upon his devoted head the displeasure of the inmates of this cabin. Brides in Washington. New York Sun. “No, there are not so many brides in the house at present as earlier in the season, but there are a number—a dozen or so.” This was said by tho chief clerk of a large Washington hotel. “B ow many brides have we had at any one time?” “A while ago there were something like twenty, but they have rather slacked off lately.” “Does AVashington possess peculiar attractions for newly married persons?” “I should, say so, for Washington is taking the lead in this respect. It used to be Niagara, but that has fallen off for some reason.” A Particular Husband. Kentucky State Journal. “See here, Mr. Man, I hear that you are flirting with my wife, and if you don’t stop it I’ll break your neck.” “Flirting with your wife! I’m neither flirting with her nor want to do so. I don’t like her well enough for that ” “You don’t? I’d like to know why you don’t. She's just as nice a woman as there is in town, and I don’t want you to be tellin’ me that she hain’t good enough for you to like. You’ve got to like her just ae well as any other woman, or I’ll know why, and don’t you forget it” The angry husband then walked away, swearing vengeance because Mr. Man didn’t like his wife. Some men cau't be pleased any way. An Even Thing. Wall Street News. He was the attendant of a railroad lunch counter at a station in Indiana. The other day, as a stranger called for a cup of coffee, the attendant glared at him for a moment, and then began to spit on his hands. “What’s up?” “Going to have revenge on you.” “\\ r hat for?” “A\*e were in Wall street together ten years ago. You advised me to buy railroad stock, and then unloaded on me, and brought me down to S4O per month. ” “Well, don’t get mad about that. It wasn’t a year before a chap unloaded coal oil on me, and I’m braking on this train out here for $1 a day.” They kissed, and called it an even thing. THE RICHE9 OF THE GARRETTS. The Estate of the Late Head of tlie Family Foots Up Thirty-Five Millions. “Gath’s” New York Letter. A man of business having strong relations with Baltimore said to me yesterday: “It would be an interesting matter for you to go into the will of John W. Garrett.” Said I: “How much did he leave?” “The estate amounts to $35,000,000,” said my friend. “Nobody had the least idea of it. It is the largest estate ever accumulated in Maryland—very much more than that of Johns Hopkins, and is three times greater thai* many people considered it would bo.” “What is it invested in?” I asked. “Chiefly in the Baltimore & Ohio railroad and its extensions and branches, and some of it is in real estate.” Said I: “AVhat do you desire to call my attention to in Mr. Garrett’s life?” “To its singular methods. He had hardly a friend in the world but his wife. He was at,war with everybody and everything. The moment he stepped out of liis door he seemed to enter the domain of hostility. He was in conflict with the politicians, with the city of Baltimore, with the Maryland Legislature, with the authorities at AVashiugton, with the city government at Washington, with his contemporaries of all kinds, and with nearly all the parallel railroads. After he had lost his wife there seemed to be hardly a spot for him to look for shade and rest. Yet he turns out to have been true to his purpose of riches. He saved himself enormous commissions by keeping up a banking-house of his own, which liis sons controlled. Robert Garrett he designed to take executive charge of his estate, and his other son, Henry, who was a man of cultivation, too. he kept at the head of the banking-house. In the banking-house all the transactions of Mr. Garrett were concealed. If he had operated through any other house his secrets would have leaked out. He has left Henry Garrett, the head of the house, worth $10,000,000. His daughter Mary is the richest single woman in America. Worth $12,000,000, it is believed. Robert Garrett is worth $12,000,000 or more.” Said I: “How old is Miss Garrett?” “She is 'still a youner woman, not more than twenty-six'or twenty-eight, I should think, or thereabout. She has never married, and did a good deal of her father’s correspondence and particular work. She is a woman of cultivation, and rumor in Baltimore has said that she is going to marry a physician there.” ELOPED WITH A CHRISTIAN. A Hebrew Girl Who Disregarded Her Mother’s Wishes and Was Arrested. New York Herald. A handsome young woman, with sparkling black eyes, a clear complexion and a pretty figure, stood with an arch expression before Justice Gorman, at Jefferson Market, yesterday morning. On one side of the prisoner wa3 the complainant, her mother, aud on the other (the cause of .ill the trouble) a good-looking young man of twenty three years. The young people were Miss Hattie Rosen field, who is a Hebrew, and Mr. Charles Applefiehl, of Providence, R. 1. They eloped on Monday and arrived iu this city iu the afternoon, only to find Detective Mulleu waiting for them at the Grand Central Depot. Miss Ro.senfield passed tho night at police headquarters in care of Matron Webb. Mr. Apple field offered Sergeant Brooks SSO to perform the marriage ceremony, and went away disconsolate when told that it was impossible. He stopped at a neighboring hotel, and was waiting at the conrt-i*oom doors when they were opened yesterday morning. The mother, Mrs. Annie Roseufield, who is a widow, made a charge of juvenile delinquency agaiust her daughter. “She is an ungrateful girl,” said Mrs. Rosenfteld with feeling, “and after all my care, has left home to marry against my wishes. Everything that I could afford she has had. She has never had to lift her finger to sunport herself, and this is my return; sho would disgrace us all. I implore her, in the name of her dead father, to give up this man, I—” “Excuse me,” interrupted the justice,who saw that tears would soon choke Mrs, Rosenfield’s utterance; “have you any serious objection to this young man?” “Yes,” replied the mother emphatically; “I have one that cannot be removed. He is a Christian,” The girl looked sad for a moment and shrank toward her lover. Then, brightening up, she said in a low voice: “May it please Your Honor, I think that under the laws of this State 1 am old enough to choose for myself. Within a month I shall be twenty - oiic. My mother is wrong when she says I am

only nineteen. Under the laws of Rhode Island I cannot marry under twenty-one without the consent of my parents, but here it is different, is it not?” The Justice nodded his head. ‘•Well, I am a Hebrew,” continued the girl, proudly, “and I love this man, who is a Christian. We have loved each other for four years, but not openly, because my mother forbade it. He is of age aria anxious to marry me, and we will te married in snite of the world. You have no right to detain me on this silly charge of juvenile delinquency,” and the girl’s lip curled with scorn. “No,” said the court, “I have no power to hold you; but, young man, are you able to support a wife?” “Yes, sir, answered Applefield quickly, lam a clerk in a clothing store in Providence at a salary of sl6 a week, which is ample there. I have a house all furnished for my wife, where I propose to take her as soon as we can get marired. We came here for that purpose. We have bec-n watched for four years, but when I got everythirg ready I told Miss Rosenfield on Sunday to take the 10 o’clock morning train quietly and alone. I jumped on just as the last car left the depot, and hoped that before now Hattie would be my wife.” “She never will!” exelairaed the mother. “I will curse her with a widowed mother’s curse! She shall never see us again. Her sister shall never speak to her. Her dead father ” “Stop!” ordered the Court, sternly. “You cannot prevent this marriage, madam. If you take my advice you will help it along by gracefully consenting. Miss Rosenfield. you are discharged.” “Now, sir,” stammered the young man, “will you be so kind as to marry us?” “Eh? What? Oh, no; I can't,” said the Justice, a little confused. “That is, you had better go to some minister. I’ll congi'atulate you, though, beforehand.” The young couple laughingly thanked the Justice and went out, saying they would be married just as soon as they could find a minister. Who Will Have the Combination? Providence Journal. Mr. John C. Eno is about to build a summer hotel near Quebec. Out of delicacy we may assume that guests will not be requested to deposit their valuables in the safe. A better plan for removing grease spots than by applying a hot iron is to rub in some spirit of wine with the hand until the grease is brought to powder, and there will be no trace of it. .
