CLOSE OF THE STATE FAIR. The Efforts to Draw a Large Crowd on the Last Day Prove Unsuccessful. Kesnlts of the Several Races YesterdayPresents to Officers of the Fair—Notes of the Closing Incidents. The attempt by the State fair management to make Saturday an attractive day was not within rifle range of being a success. Thursday and Friday appear to exhaust the elan of the patrons, and, when the last day of the week arrives, they fail to appear. This time the inducements for a Saturday attendance were but faintly rose-tinted and at an early hour in the morning the exhibiters were rapidly removing their goods from the grounds. By noon there was littlo remaining besides the lunch stands, the proprietors of which held on to the last to dispose of their perishable commodities. The races in the afternoon were not specially exciting. The first race was a stallion trot, stallions of all ages, for a purse of S2OO. The starters were Roscoe, b. g., owned by Tom Levi, Noblesviile; Royalmont, ch. g., owned by L. H. Cobb, Aurora; Principe, br. s., Robert Dickson, Henderson, Ky., beet three heats in five. In the first heat Roscoe led down the back stretch, with Royalmont lapping him, Principe four lengths behind. Reaching the half mile, Principe gained and down the back stretch outtrotted both, and at the three-quarters passed Roscoe, beating him home with several lengths to spare in 2:355. In the second beat, again, Roscoe led, with Royalmont second to the threequarters pole, where Principe passed Royalmont and made for the leader. Before the head of the homestretch was reached he had collared and passed Roscoe, trotting from there home steady and easy to himself, winning in 2:32i. Roscoe came in second but was put to third for running. In the third heat Principe led from ■trine to string, with Royalmount at his wheel, and Roscoo a very creditable third, Principe winning the heat and race in 2:37; Royalmont baking second and Roscoe third. . In the free-for-all trot, S2OO, the starters were Lady Preston, ch. m., owned by Mr. Haines, Paris, 111.; Bronze, b. m., Buck Dickerson, Greensburg; Lillian, ch. m., J. Dickerson, Greensburg; Mafrel, b. g., J. S. Ryan, Detroit, Mich. In the first heat Princess |ed to the tjifee-q”art?r2 pol?, nioseiy pressed by Marvel, where Princess was forced to break and Marvel took the pole, Jogging home slowly and winning the heat by half a dozen lengths, in 2:311; Lady Preston second, Bronze third and Lillian fourth. In the second heat Marvel led from one end to the other, with Bronze second, until they reached the second turn in the last half, when Preston passed to second place and Bronze dropped back to fourth. At the three-quarters pole Lillian came up and lapped Lady Preston and would have beaten to the head of the home stretch but she broke and Marvel continued in front to the wire. Time, 2:31f; Lady Preston second, Lillian third. Bronze fourth. In the third heat Marvel led all the way with Lillian lapped; Lady Preston third. It was a very close and pretty heat. Lillian did not lose her feet, and it was thought would win the heat, but Marvel out footed her, winning the heat and race in 2:304. Lady Preston was second. Lillian third and Bronze fourth. Tno pacing race was for $150; starters, Jack, b. g., owned by Archy Bowman, Indianapolis; ftelen Gougar, b. m., George H. Gifford, Tipton; hirleyD., Thomas Stewart, Orleans; Monon, George Ebeihard, Indianapolis; Sleepy Tom, owned by Samuel Johnson, Fisher’s Station. In the first heat Shirley D. led all the way, with Jack •econd to the head of the home stretch, and Monon thud. On entering the home stretch Jack broke, Monon gave him the go-by and came in Second. Time, 2:381. Shirley D. first, GouEar second, Jack third, Monon fourth—Monon eing put last for running; Sleepy Tom distanced

The second and third heats were easily taken by Shirley D. in 2:41* and 2:40; Gongar second money, Jack third, Monon fourth. ©ln recognition of her efficient management, the business firms on the upper floor yesterday morning presented Mrs. A. M. Noe. president of the Woman’s fair, ah elegant gold badge, Messrs. W. C. Vajen and J. T. Power making the presentation, with brief remarks expressive of appreciation of her efforts for the accommoaation of exbibiters, to which Mrs. Noe briefly responded. It was intended that this pleasant little affair should have been public, but the badge was not finished in time. The badge is of solid gold, in the form of a bar-pin, with a medal attached. The bar is engraved with the name. “Mrs. A. M. Noe, President,” while the medal bears the State seal and the inscription, “Presented by Exhibiters of Woman’s Department, 1886.” It is inclosed in an exquisite case of plush. The State Board returned thanks formally to $ number of exhibiters for their displays, among others R. M. and W. C. Lockhard, of DeKalb county, who had on exhibition the finest collections of fruits ever shown in Indiana, consisting of one hundred and seven varieties; and to the Indiana Photo-Enlarging Company, which had anoxceedingly fine art exhibit on display. The receipts during the week from the sale of admission tickets aggregated about $25,000, the largest amount ever taken in As the patrolmen and various other employes at the fair were taking their farewell look at the grounds and buildings, Mr. H. B. Stout, the general superintendent, was called into his private office, which was well filled, and presented with a handsome gold watch, in a neat speech by Assistant Superintendent J. H. Harlan, to which Mr. Stout, after some little time, in which to recover his wite, responded. The police Rad Harvey Stout, superintendent of the fair grop a Is, disagreed yesterday, which resulted in all the members of the Metropolitan foise being withdrawn from the grounds at noon. It has always been customary for the fair managers to furnish the police with dinner. Yesterday Sergeant Quigley applied to Mr. Stout for meal tickets, and was informed that fie could not have them, and Mr. Qnigley at once took the men, twelve in number, from the grounds. The officers detailed for the grounds were all men on night duty, and in consequence, were compelled to do double duty, for which they received no extra pay. The members of the State Board, when they heard of the affair, stated that if the police had applied $0 them, they would have paid for their dinners oat of their own pockets. The Largest Stove Display. Elder & Cos., of this city, made the largest •tove display at the State Fair. Their specialties are the Acorn ranges and base-burners, and the Westminster base-burners. They displayed thirty-five stoves of various designs. Prominent in the center ot their exhibit, strikipg in its conspicuity and ornamentation, was an Imperial Aocrn range, which is said to be just a little better than any other ranee manufactured. The Art Westminster, their crack base-burner, they are particularly proud of because of its great heating capacity. It is SO unlike the flashy, loud-looking heaters that it is really a refreshing sight to witness this innovation on the nickel craze. The Art Westminster has not an ounce of nickel on it, but instead a modest adornment of beaten brass and Cbelssa :iling. Messrs. Rider & Cos. are tc be congratulated on the intere.it they have added to the State fair by the excellence of their exhibit. Their success *w dealers who have come rapidly to the front in public esteem, within the past fouryears, is a good criterion of which to judge the character of the gbods they sell. Their headquarters in the city are at 63 North Illinois street. Speaking of the State Fair, Tile handsomest exhibit in the entire building Was that of the Model Clothing Company. As usual, the Model displayed both taste and enterprise in their display. It was called the Hotel de Model, and represented a large hotel with spacious grounds, eet out with flower-beds. Along the gravel walks were posed numerous forms, displaying to good advantage the latest Styles of fail suits and overcoats. £verybody is on the lookout for the wedding

to take place in the Model’s show-window. The offer of a handsome bedroom set to any couple willing to be married there still holds good. Berterman Bros., 37 to 43 Massachusetts avenue, this city, Friday, took two first premiums—one on the best general collection of all designs and another on the finest display of plants. At their conservatory they have an extra lar;;e supply of hyacinths, tulips, lilies, etc., besides a profusion .of flowers and plants of every kind and description. No visitor at the fair should go home without inspecting their establishment. ABRAHAM LINCOLN’S BIRTHPLACE. Where the Great Martyr President Was Born and Lived in the Bloody Ground. Louisville Commercial. Lincoln, as everybody knows, was of Kentucky birth. The Century people have sent artists to Larue county to make sketches of the site of his earliest home and other points of interest connected with it The Hodgenville Herald says: “The spot is located about three miles south of Hodgenville, and is often visited by his ‘admirers. Although the old house is now gone, and nothing of it remains to mark the site but the stones that were in the chimney, yet the exact spot where our war President was born is easily distinguished by other objects. Traces of the old orchard and garden yet remain. The apple and pear trees are standing, and the raspberry bushes and strawberry-bed have also stood the test of time. The strawberry-bed bears every spring, and the berries are particularly fine. A few steps from where the house was situated is the old spring, one of the finest in the State. Hidden in the ground about twenty feet, with a natural path leading down to it, and surrounded by a cluster of trees, it makes a most beautiful picture. * * * The friends of President Lincoln cut a cane from his old homestead, had it finished with a gold head, and on the day of his inauguration presented it to him. Ho ever afterward used this cane, and when he was assassinated in the theater at Washington it was in his hand. Canes from the spot have been sent all over the United States, and are highly treasured by many men of note.” A landmark in that locality is Austin Gollagher. an old gentleman who, m boyhood, was a playmate of Lincoln, and once rescued him from drowning while bathing in Knob creek. He is able to point out many objects of intorest concerning the Lincoln home. Relics of L'ncoln’g Kentucky life are numerous. The Hodgenville paper relates that William Goff, an old gentleman of Taylor county, has a cross-cut saw that was used" by the father of Abraham Lincoln when he occupied the old homestead on the Creal farm, in Larue county. It is yet in a good state of preservation, though time, with slow but persistent efforts, has left its mark. The saw has been sold under the hammer on tWO Q? and *be ZZ~~ nected therewith wfer6 known and stated by the auctioneer at both sales, which caused the saw at the last sale to have a more than actual value as a cutting tool. It was firs! sold at the Bale of Mr. Lincoln, when he moved to Illinois, and was bought by William Bayne, an old resident of this county. At his death it was sold to Mr. Goff, its present owner. It is treasured as a relic that will, in all probability, some day gain great notoriety. It is a matter of regret that the inhabitants of this section, now about to receive the attention of the whole world, have not been more appreciative of the honor of having among them the birthplace of so great a man. During the last session of Congress the Hon. Thomas A. Robertson, a native of the same county, introduced a bill for the erection of a memorial stone on the site of the old Lincoln house, which failed to get a hearing before the adjournment came. But it created agniust its author not a little prejudice, so that in some counties it helped to defeat him for the reuomination for Congress in the nrimary election a few days since. It seems that the ancient proverb about a prophet being without honor in his own country has many modern illustrations.

GOULD AND MOROSINI. Fifteen Years of Confidential Relation Ending in Coldness. New York Special. For fifteen years or more Sig. G. P. Morosini was Jay Gould’s confidential secretary, and in those years Morosini made something like $3,000,000 by following Mr. Gould’s advice. Morosini was in the Erie railroad office on a starvation salary when he attracted Mr. Gould’s attention, and the stories about his being of noble Italian birth and of high education are fiction. The relations between Morosini and Gould were of the most confidential sort, and Morosini was as jealous of Gould’s friendships and confidences as is a lover of his sweetheart's glances. When, therefore, Gould began to coach his son George, and George began to do the work that Morosini had been doiDg, Morosini begat a hatred for George. Gould that his fiery Italian nature could not conceal. It brought on a quarrel, and when the brokerage firm of which Washington E. Connor, Morosini and Gould were members was dissolved Morosini did not follow the Goulds to their new offices. Indeed, the trouble has become so deep-seated that Morosini no longer speaks pleasantly of Jay Gould. Morosini was always jealous of Connor, but Connor contrived to avoid anything like a rupture. Morosini’s troubles with Gould and with his daughter have aged him very considerably, and have made him petulant and disagreeable. He still has a desk in Connor’s office, where he sits daily taking care or his $3,000,000. The Goulds have always taken special pains to disavow any knowledge of Morosini’s family affairs, and Mr. Washington E. Connor flew into a tdtrible rage the other day when the newspapers dragged him into an alleged attempt to smuggle the coachman’s bride to Europe. Air. Bynum and Mr. Hendricks. Indianapolis Now Record. Colonel J. B. Maynard, in an address delivered in the Criminal Court room, in this city, some months ago, charged that Wra. D. Bynum denounced Hendricks as a “damned old liar, sneak and hypocrite.” If Mr. Bynum will, over his own signature, deny the charge, we will, in our next issue, give the names of the prominent Democrats who have repeatedly said they heard him apply the foul epithets, to Mr. Hendricks. This statement means business, and Mr. Bynum can have a veracity matinee as soon as he demands the entertainment A “Felt Want” in Carolina. Charleston News. We need more schools and more teachers than we have, or are likely to have, under our present system, for a generation to come. It would “pay” the people of South Carolina, in every way, to found and support a college for the single purpose of educating teachers and sending them out into every district and neighborhood, as fast as they could be fitted for their work.

All Medical Authorities Agree that catarrh, in any and all its stages, is no more nor less than an inflammation of the lining membrane of the nasal air passages. It steadily tends to ulceration, but never develops in such a way as to call for constitutional tieatment, or what is called "physicking the blood.” The sooner all catarrh patients understand this, the sooner they will stop spending time and money uselessly and foolishly. Nasal catarrh and all catarrhal affections of the head are not diseases of the blood, and it is a serious mistake to treat them as such. No conscientious physician ever hopes or attempts to do so, yet patients are sometimes misled into purchasing and using certain advertised sarsaparilias, or other so-called blood medicines, in the persuasion that to purify the blood is to cure catarrh. Asa matter of course, they are always disappointed, and become more than ever despondent of finally getting well. -No words of condemnation can be too severe for the shallow charlatans who thus ignorantly or purposely deceive those who suffer from this most tedious and distressing complaint. “Proper local treatment,” says Dr. Rush, of Chicago. "is positively essential to success." He adds: ‘Although it starts as al disease, catarrh sooner or later affects the general health.” Yet this is a consequence, not a cause. The treatment for catarrh, then, must be purely local, but what kind of remedies must be employed? On this point Dr. P. W. Lopan, of Knoxville, Tenn., president of the American Rhinological Association, says: “In all diseases of the nasal mucous membrane the remedy used must be non-irri-tating. The medical profession has been slow to learn this. Nothing satisfactory can be accomplished with douches, snuffs, powders, syringes, mops, brushes, astringents or any similar applications, because they are all irritating, do not thoroughly reach the affected surfaces and should be abandoned as worse than failures.’’ This being true, and blood medicines being also useless, to what conclusion are we driven? Simply to this: That the successful remedy for nasal catarrh must be non-irritating, easy of application, and one that will, by its own action, reach all the remote sores and ulcerated surfaces. The history of the efforts to treat catarrh during the past few years obliges us to admit that only one remedy has completely met these conditions, and that is Ely’s Cream Balm, a preparation widely known. This safe and pleasant remedy has mastered catarrh as nothing elis has ever done, and both phjsioians and patients freelj-concede this fact. The more distressing symptoms quickly yield to it, and a multitude of persons who have for years borne all the worry and pain that catarrh can inflict testify to radical and permanent cures wrought by it. Ely’s Cream Balm is perfectly soothing and agreeable; excites no dread, dissolves the hardened accretions, lessens the extreme sensibility of the nerve centers to cold and all external irritants, and is followed by no reaction whatever. It is held by eminent medical men that sooner or later a specific will be found for every disease from which humanity suffers. Whether this be so or not, certainly the facts justify us in assuming that for catarrh at least a positive cure already exists in Ely’s Cream Balm.
