The Cautious Husband 'Who Got the Wrong Shoe. A story "which illustrates how frequently things go wrong was told at the New Denison, yesterday, concerning a prominent citizen who was overtaken by a recent accident of hospitality at a dinner given, by the survivors of the hattlo of Poguc's Run, and who had some difliculty in reaching his own domicile. Once inside, however, h had less trouble, and with the exception of getting slightly tangled in tho hall chairs, reached his room in safety. Unfortunately. wh;n he came to set his shoes outside the door he got hold of one of his wife's gaiters and put it with one of his ovrn broKan- where tho colored porter found the ill-assorted pair and blacked 'both with great liberality. In the mornins; the good lady hunting for her lost footwear finally found it in tho hallway, and being a woman of great resources woke up her licgn lord and held before him her wellpolished shoo. The gentleman was not very wide awake, but ho grasped the situation promptly and firmly. "Go and get yourself a new dress or anything you like," Lo said, "and keep your mouth shut." Delirium Tremens Tatients. "Wo have all sorts of cases to look after," paid Dr. Oliver, of the City Hospital, to a Journal reporter yesterday. "Fortunately we have tho appliances to take care of them. The man who drives our ambulance is an adept at holding deliruin tremens patients, and when the surgeon sent .ifcer them is not stout enough to manage them, he gets on the box and drives while the regular driver holds down the cargo. Once inside, we have tho usual appliances for keeping patient in this condition from hurting himself and other jeople. They range from wristlets to straight jackets, and from tadded rooms to a crib, uot unlike a baly'a crib, with a cover over it, in which a crazy man can bo managed as easily aa an infant; Sometimes such cases can be handled by coaxing and petting, and fcnmetimes it requires heroic measures. It all depends ou the character of the particular case." TlAllartl Smith's CWIl Service. Ballard Smith, of tho New York World, who came here partly on business and partly to see his old friend and classmate. Colonel Millard, is stopping at the New Denison House. Mi.

Dr. Mcleod Tells Church Members that Too Many Help Support Saloons. He Urges Them to Meet the Question of Temperance with Bravery and Sincerity Dr. Day's Sermon to the Tippecanoe Club. Dr. McLeod's subject at the Second Presbyterian Church last night was, "The Monster of Modern Intemperance," his text being taken from Esther iv, 14. After describing the surrounding? of Esther, leading to her perilous deed, the Doctor continued. "Yon will not find, despite all this, the name of God in the book of Esther, though this book is in tho Bible. The name of God is not in the Constitution of the United States, although Uis presence is manifest in its provisions. Now there is just as much 6cnse in our appointing a committee to put the name of God in tho book of Esther as in the national Constitution, as proposed. Ilaman evolved a bloody plot, by jvhich Esther's husband, we have rea"son to know, while under tho influence of wine, issued an edict over his own name for tho annihilation of her race and friends. The tragedy was momentarily imminent of execution. Ahasucrus. in his drunken stupor, had signed the warrant for the destruction of his beautiful Esther, and Or if?taL.I,rido prevented his relenting, if this woman shall take some extraordinary means to crush this tVTant who shall blame her? There is a Uespot in our land to-day, more tyrannical far than Ahasuerus, who has sent his orders out in every direction to sacrifice tens of thousands of our peoplo annually. AY hat shall stay his merciless hand? C5UB11 we woilder at tho wives and mothers if the try to secure the elective franchise, or attempt any other extraordinary means to crush this tyrant? f 8 I Tvould defend Esther. I will defend the lathers, mothers, sons and brothers of this country in any effort to overthrow tho liquor traflic. How often the drunkard is a iiebauche, from whose horrid vices generations to come shall suffer. See that once lovely but now desolate and heart-broken wife whom he vowed before God to cherish and protect forever! She is being slowly murdered. God help her! And her childrenpoor, blighted, withered flowers jvho cannot, who dare not smile in that beastly father's presence. Is it any wonder UUMia, xwu m iiugiuv wrain, anu in uio name of God, light this monster in this landf It appears to some people unseemly to put tho ballot in the hands of theso wives -tho queens of America. . It was an unheard-of thing, in all tho history of tho East, for Esther, the Queen p ersla, to enter her lord's presence unbidden. If there be no other way to crush this monster than to give women the ballot, I say, Let them have it, and use it, and God bless them in the use of it.' I justify any measure whatsoever which has been adopted in this country honestly for the overthrow of the liquor traflic, on tho ground of self-defense ami patriotism. Esther's mind was fixed. I will go in and if I perish. I perish.' T his was no timo for etiquette. It is no time now for tradition or ceremony. Can any one hnd fault with theso American queens in their heroic measures to def eat the army of the evil one? And if our wives and daughters visit our legislative halls and uso their influence with our representatives to secure this great end, who shall condemn them? It for one, cannot. I am in favor of the securing of high license or local option, or any measure which it can be shown will crush this traflic. That is what we are all determined to do. If such measures of legislation will not do it, let our legislators tell us what will, or hold their peace and stop their criticisms. During the past ten years millions upon millions of dollars have been spent in this land for liquor. Tho generals and armies of this hideous tyrant are crrrying on a far more skillful campaign before our very eyes than ever Xerxes planned or his hosts executed. They aro introducing to-day bills in some of our legislatures to allow perfect immunity from all punishment for tho sale of liquor on Sunday wanting privileges, I say, that are not even granted to those who sell food and clothing for the people; to carry on the work of the prince of evil in our midst. They want permission to tempt with open door to damnation men who may bo on their way to the church of God. And our legislators bow gracefully and say: Certainly; you voted to put me here, and you will vote for me again; pass your bill in; and tho whole matter is arranged. A shipwreck at sea, and fifty people go down. The Nation hears the account with ; weeping and distress. An earthquake in China and two thousand die. The whole world read of it with inexpressible horror. But 00.000 die from strong drink, my friends, ana scarcely a voice is raised to stop itl Still it continues its merciless course! It has turned the innocent into the vile. It has turned fathers into fiends and mothers into furies. Men who, when sober, would shrink from murder, when drunk would wield the dagger without a tremor. It has caused girls, once modest and virtuous, to walk our streets with the brazen stamp of depravity upon their countenances, flaunting with impunity their vices before us. Young men, who once cherished the hope of honorablo, honored citizenship have, through strong desires, become besotted beforethey have scarce attained tho fullness of manhood. T he church has more than mere moral reasons for doing her part to crush out this traffic. No drunkard shall enter the kingdom of heaven. It is a terrible thing to fill a drunkard's grave. It is an infinitely more terrible fate to fall into a drunkard s helL There is in my judgment no nobler act of heroism in all history than Esther's approach to her husband in that hour of peril. If the Christian peoplo of this country would approach with such bravery, the determination to destroy tho liquor traflic. they would find some party ready not merely to hear, but to grant tho wholo of their demands. The weakness is with ourselves. Toj many Christians are moderate drinkers. I know whereof 1 affirm when I say that if the support of our many church members was entirely withdrawn from tho saloons, they would be materially cut short in their receipts. It is not drunkenness that supports the saloons. It is moderate induifence. Church members, 6top drinking! f jou would pray at y?;ur family altar for the temperance cause every morning, you would not bo bo apt to patronize tho saloons during the day. Before you attack the saloon-keeper, look to tho desire you moderately encourage in yourselves. Attack those who drink first. The sale of linuor cannot bo stopped until you stop the demand. I would like to ston it at the source if I thought it possible. I do not. I am free to Ray I am in favor of local option or high license, but everything is dependent on the osition Christians maintain to the traffic, .et all chirrch members at such a time as this become total abstainers. That is one thing. The next thing is to remember and toach that tho one supremo remedy for all drunkness is conversion to Christ. The man who loves Christ is the strongest man of all." A Sermon to Old Men. The services at Grace 31. E. Church yesterday morning were attended by more than forty members of the Tinnecanoe Club, who came upon special invitation, the sermon being preached by Rev. Dr. Henry Day, one of their number. The lesson the 00th Psalm was read by Mr. J. G. Smith, a member of the club. Dr. Day took his text from tho seventh verse, thirty-second chapter of tho Book of Job, reading in connection therewith tho first six verses of the chapter: "Days should speak and multitudes of years should teach wisdom." Dr. Day, commenting upon tho text, said that great men aro not alwayswise, neither do the aged always understand wisdom. But the old men to whom in the text reference is fittingly made, are those who havo had an ordinary endowment of intellect, and going through life have had their heads mado more level and their hearts kent freshened all tho years through. In this class is tho old man who has the courtesy and suavity, tho right flavor and mellowness of age about him; who has had a right knowledge of life, has heard the calls of duty and has heard, too, the call of tempta

tion, but has thrown off the danger and come out a stronger and a wiser man. The text refers to him who has felt the sharp tooth of envy and malice, and waiting the time when no is vindicated stands up again erect, lie has borne the burden and heat of the day, and borne them cheerfully, glad that God has given him something to do. Ho has come out from tho midst of responsibilities with clean hands and heart unstained and unchanged. "I mean, said the Doctor, "men like those who havo been commissioned to build tho Statehouse of Indiana, have handled millions of money, and came out without a shadow of suspicion about them; men whom tho State of Indiana is proud to honor and the Nation wonders to hear about, because such men are rare in the land." There are men, ho continued, who havo homo great sorrows. They have bowed beneath the power of affliction, but havo risen up again and rejoiced that tho Lord God Almightv reigned. These men have a right to spealc. They are able to teach. They know something. They have been there. In fact, we know little we have not experienced. What can we know in regard to ecstatic music if we have never heard itf What can wo know in regard to the highest and holiest sentiments simply from hearing people talk about them? What do wo know about repentance if we have never been through it? What about faith in God unless tho arm has reached up and gotten hold of Him? A boy flying a kite may not be able to see the kite, it is so far away, but he knows it is there. Ho feels the pull on the string. It is something to feel the pull, to have the

grip oi iaim, to Know it is lasieueu upon tho Almighty arm. What does a man know about love who never looked up and saw tho face of his Father in heaven? We know very little about what people tell us, tho Doctor said. Wo know there is such a city as Canton in China, as Paris in France, asRoine; but we could know them better had wo seen them, had we walked upon their streets. But old men know a thousand things that others, younger persons, do not know. They know that for the maturing of a beautiful earthly life it does not need largo wealth and important place, but that it does need the aid of an arm and a grace stronger and richer than earth can furnish. Wealth is very convenient. We can accomplish mnch good by it, when it is in the hands of those who become almoners of the Almighty giver; but wealth is not essential, not very important. Who cares, for instance, whether George H. Stuart, of Philadelphia, was a wealthy man or not? He was president of the Christian Association during the war, carrying food for tho soul to our 6oldier boys in the field. Ho afterward failed in business, but it was an honorable failure, for there are such, and his friends put him into thejpresidency of a bank, so that in his declining years he might have a competency. Who cares whether he was a rich man or a poor man? Would it raise. Abraham Lincoln in our opinion to know him a rich man? He was worth millions and millions in time of need, and is worth millions now for tho inspiration of his life. As to place, the Doctor continued, look over the men who havo been officeholders. Are they more honorable thnn those here who never held office? Arc their lives better rounded out? Not a bit. Indeed, tho very best men aro those who havo never sought office and whom tho office has sought. The only men fit for office are the men whom office is seeking: whom the office is calling for. In concluding, the Doctor said to the members of tho club th'it the 3'oungest of them had reached the three score and ten. The traditional rounded-out life is past. There is little left. "We havo lived to be seventy," he continued, "and are clear in heart and inteUect. Some of yon have gotten through the other ten. Let us make these last years tho most beautiful. We can no longer live for ambition. Wo can no longer live for gain. Let ns give these last years to God and humanity. Let these last years be the best and noblest, and let our leave of earth be bright and beautf ul, like the rays of an October sunset." Paul's Remedy for Care. The Kcv. M. A. S. Coates, of Rochester, N. Y., filled the pulpit of the First Baptist Church yesterday morning, taking as his subject "Paul's Remedy for Care." He read his text from Philippians iv, 0: "Bo careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving let your reqnests be made known nnto God." The preacher opened his discourse by dwelling forcibly upon tho causes, evils and ultimate habit of care-bearing. He described morbid sorrow, which, he said, is inconsistent with all tho higher phases of Christian character and experience. " Tt is easy for Paul,' you say," ho continued, " to write those words of good advice to the Philippians, but it is very hard for ordinary mortals to heed them.' Christians are not ordinary mortals. Remember the strength of your high calling in Jesus Christ. Too many of us, through .all the duties and privileges of life, have hugged sorrow until it has become a part of our whole spiritual nature. Anxiousness is opposed to the peace of God, from whatever point you view it. Probably the world does not contain a single man or woman who has not at some time or in sonio way prayed, but how many who belong to Christ, and whose privilege it is, have tried prayer as the great remedy for sorrow? Donotsav: Tt is no use; the burden cannot be lifted,' but tell God about it. And do not offer anxious supplications. Paul says thankful praj'er, not anxious prayer, is tho remedy for sotrow. Paul never dreamed that a man could exist who could not find anything to bo thankful for. Most of the good things in this world come to us indirectly. If wo would get at tho rights of things, think about better things, think of the virtues and beauties of religion. Paul, yet conscious that his instruction may seem indefinite to the Philippians, adds: Those things which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do.'. That is, his life should bo the type for theirs. Happy is the teacher who can say with Paul: Mf you do not understand mv thought, stndy my life. There you will find portrayed iu living deeds the teachings I have given you.' 'What care I what you say?' says Emerson, What I say to you hangs over my head and thunders in my cars so that I care not what you say.' " There is one calling, that of teaching, the preacher said, that has in its ranks all the membership of mankind, and yet it is not overcrowded. Parents should remember that they are the open book where their children study. The things that make parents what they are. are copied by their children. In the school, home, office, wise or unwise, for good or for evil, every ono is teacher. The trouble with too many peoplo is that they give themselves np to a contemplation of Christian virtues, and forget that the way to enjoy them is to seek tho truth as it is in Christ. There is a good deal of divine philosophy and human com mon sense in Paul's letter to ians. the PhilippRcvival at Roberts Park. Tho congregation in the morning at Roberts Park Church was very largo. Dr. Keen, the pastor, preached on "Tho Highway of Holiness." A deep religious feeling prevailed, and there were several accessions to the church. The Sabbath-school had an attendance of COS. Miss Jeroino Smith held a salvation service with the school. Many aroso for prayer. At night sho gave a most effective address to an immense audience, and good results followed. Revival meetings will occur every night this week, except Wednesday and Saturday nights. A lloosler Victory In Florida. A letter to tho Journal from San ford, a lively little town on the south sidt of Lake Monroe, Orange county, Florida, says that place went Republican last Monday for the first timo in its history. All the offices were carried by majorities ranging from seven to fifty. The new Mayor, Dr. W. H. Evans, is a Hoosier, having iormerly been a resident of Richmond. The writer claims that the State was carried for the Republican ticket last November by at least b.OOO majority, but that under the Democratic returning boards it was an easy matter to reverse the verdict of the people. Orange countv is almost a Hoosier settlement, as over half tho people from the North who have made their homes there in the past ten years are from Indiana, Sanford, Orlando, Longwood aud Palm Springs being their special strongholds. - - , . . .. Meeting to Occur, The regular Monday meeting of the ministers of tho city will bo held in the Second Presbyterian Church this morning. The Ladies' Auxiliary of the Y. M. C. A. will meet to-morrow afternoon at 2:30 at the Y. M. C. A. hall

WHAT MR. PEXXA SAID. His Speech on Arbitration at the Convention of Coal Operators and Miners. At the convention of coal operators and miners, Thursday last, P. H. Penna, a rejrescntativo of the Progressive Union, spoke at some length in favor of continuing those conditions that have materially assisted tho operators and miners of this State. He referred to the system of arbitration and conciliation between the employer and employe, both of whom have observed it for nearly four years without strikes on the part of the miners or loss by the operators. His position was, it is claimed, willfully misrepresented in the Sentinel's report of the action of disagreement on the wage scale. What Mr. Penna said at that time is given by tho stenographer of the convention. Gentlemen of tho Convention There is one matter to which I desire to address myself for a lew minutes. I do It because there are present all of the operators from Indiana, the operators from Ohio, tho operators from Pennsylvania, and the miners from those States, and especially from our own State of Indiana. It is with reference to the attitude assumed in this convention br tho Indiana operators. The position taken by those gentlemen is not, in my estimation, the result of a momentary thought. It is not the result of any reason given by them, but

the result oi action they took some nve or six months ago. I think about last Ausrast the miners and operators commenced hostilities in tho State of Indiana, and that with other matters has caused these men to taxe this staud in this convention to-day. It has been stated to mo and to the miners that one of tho thines that has caused these men to take the position that they have assumed is the question of legislation in this State, and to this I want ta direct your attention for a few mimues. With the miners of Indiana they have leen doing business for three years on the principles of arbitration and conciliation; they have been doing it fairly and frankly, and honestly. The conduct of tho Indiana operators has been equal to the best in the United States; the best in this whole organization in tho treatment of the miners durins the last three years. They have not onlv lived up to the 6caie, out exemplified the spirit of every agreement we have made . . . . - . 1 i t -1 t 11 1 1 L1. witn mem. xue resiui iu muutui win euuw iiub. Their claim is that while they have been doing business with us , the miners of tho State have been clandestinely stabbing them in the back. While we have met them face to face, with a disposition apparently to treat them fairly, they say we have stabbed them in tho back through a demagogic Legisla ture. Applause. As a representative of tho organization with whom they have been doiutr business, I deny the charge blankly. It is a fact, to some extent, that this lias been done, but let me suggest that on investigation it might appear that instead of the miners of the federation doinrr this, it will turn out to be shyster lawyers and political bums. To some extent the operators of the State of Indiana are responsible for this state of affairs. The organiza tion I represent proposes to deal fairlv with them. and it has been handicapped by their own will and their own action to a very great extent Wo tried to get a uniform screen in the State of Indiana, and the operators refused to meet us. Hence, these people have resorted to a measure in the Legislature that is distasteful to them. Last August we aked the operators of the State of Indiana to select two or three men to co-operate witn us, and they refused to do that. That has been the cause of this wrong they claim, and, to some extent, I Indorse their claim, which is hostile to this vicious legislation. Let me further state that the gentlemen who ore favorable to the arrangement pushed in tho Legislature are not the gentlemen who aro favorable to our joint arrangement. The man who dug coal be tore he went to the Legislature, a miner of thirty-six years experience, is not the man that introduced these measures, but they came from one who never dug coal in his lifo nor did he ever see a coal mine except in nassinff it on the train, nrobably. Cheers.1 I make theso statements in the interest of har mony, in the interest of fair play and honesty for our organ ization and at the sam e time gi ving credit to the operators of Indiana for the position they have taken. The whole thing, summefl up in a nutshell, is this: These people presume upon the ignorance of the miners. They present a bill, no matter whft its provisions may be, and think the miners know iiotbing about it. They are simply catering to the votes of the miners irrespective of tho miners interests, and I firmly believe that anything the Legislature would be asked to do by the miners of Indiana, barring the confiscation of one-half their own property to the miners, that very Legislature would, do it. Applause. Col. Yeoman To whom do you refer when you say 'MIso people" presume upon the ignorance of the miners! Mr. Penna I refer to the IIou? e and Senate. Mr. Dempster What is to hinder those men who have been acting in such harmony in the past to say to that Legislature, 4We want none of that, and wo don't thank you for proposing it!" Mr. Penna There was a stage in our proceedings when that could" have been brought up and acted upon, but, contrary to the advice of tho miners, some of the operators refused to bring that matter to their notice, until several of the miners had so far committed themselves that wo are- here to-day to arrange a scale without anv power or authority to act in such a position as'that On the contrary, had the operators taken the miners advice a short time ago, it would only have required a few minutes' work and very little expense, a sheet of paper, and a two-cent stamp, and the delegates hereto-day might Just as easily have been here with the power to act, as they are now here handicapped, because the operators of Indiana have neglected this matter. Chairman Dempster Now don't be afraid to acknowledge the error of your ways, If you operators have made one, but come out and say we are now willing to do right; don't be afraid because you have erred and been indifferent to your duty in the past, that you are now able to act It is better to act right late than never. Mr. Yeoman I wish to say this: that in my judgment the fault in not agreeing upon a stand ard screen mat wouin do accepiauie uom 10 xno miners and operators of Indiana, is the operators fault; and that we now do not have a payday that would havo been as convenient and agreeable both to the miners and operators of Indiana, and that we now have this vicious legislation as against the tnterest of both operators and miners, attempted to be forced upon them, is largely and in a great measure due to tho fact that the operators have not met these issues squarely. Mr. Penna "Open confession is good for the soul." I don't wish to be understood as saying that the miners of Indiana do not need any legislation. There aro certain measures in regard to miners now before that body to which my remarks in no way relate. Mr. Dempster If the case is as yon have both stated it, why not then go together.handinhand, and say to these legislators, we don't want this and we will not nave itl Such a course Is surely bound to result in your joint claims being justly and rightly acceded to. The convention then adjourned, upon motion of Colonel Yeoman. HE. BRUSH'S ACKNOWLEDGMENT. His Letter to Mr. Young Calls from that Gentleman a Hearty Indorsement. President Brush gets a hearty indorsement from President Young, of the National League, in connection with the recent transfer of the Indianapolis franchise to the organization which Mr. Brush represents. In that connection the Washington Post of yesterday says: "President Young, of the League, yesterday received a letter from President Brush, of the Indianapolis club, in which the following appears: Your very welcome letter announcing that the Indianapolis ball club had been unanimously elected to till the vacancy in the National League caused by the retirement of tho Indianapolis Base-ball Association is received. This action on the part of the Leagne is more fully appreciated from tho fact that there were other applications for this membership. At the March meeting I hope to express to you and others personally what time will not at this writing permit Thanking yon for your kindly interest in our success, I am, etc., The Indianapolis deal was thoroughly honest and fair," said Mr. Young, yesterday. 'Mr. Brush is a thoroughly honorable man, and the manner in wheh he comes back to tho League shows the affair was not prearranged." This Week's Amusements. The engagement of tho Bostonians will begin at the Grand to-night, with that tuneful opera 'Dorothy," which will be given a very strong cast. To-morrow night "Mignon" will be given, with "Don Pasqualc" for the Wednesday matinee, and 'Pygmalion and Galatea" Wednesday n ight. The company is larger and stronger than ever this year, and carries epecial scenery and orchestra. There is a good advance sa le. English Opera-house will be closed until Thurday night, when John Wild will appear in the new musical comedy "Running Wild;" and during the rest of the week Evans and Hoey will present that hilarious farce, "A Parlor Match." Atkinson's Comedy Company, an organization that is well spoken of. will begin a week's engagement at the Park this afternoon, in 'Teck'a Bad Boy," a piece that has

mado large audiences laugh nrhereTcr presented. In spite of the already large advance sale of seats for Mary Anderson's engagement there are yet excellent seats on sale lor both performances at tho box-olbee of English's, and they can be obtained at the advertised prices without paying a premium to scalers. The . sale will continue from day to day this week. HAKPJSQy AND CABINET GOSSIP. The Purpose of Senator-Elect McMillan's Itecnt Visit. - General Harrison went to church in tho forenoon yesterday, the remainder of tho day being spent at home with his family, lie attended Meridian-street Chnrch, and heard the Rev. Dr. Cleveland. There was but littlo Cabinet speculation during tho day among the gossipers, aside from references to the recent visit of Senator-elect McMillan, of Michigan. That visit is said to have been in the interest of Senator Palmer, who has been proposed as the head of tho new Department of Agriculture. 3Ir. Dudley's Mission. D. A. Dudley, of Americns, Ga., arrived in the city yesterday. Mr. Dudley is a very intelligent colored man, twenty-eight years old, a blacksmith by trade, and was one of tho two Harrison delegates from Georgia in tho Chicago convention, tho other A. J. Taylor, of Smithville-having since died. "Yes," said Mr. Dudley last night at the New Denison, T have come to see General Harrison, and will probably call upon him to-morrow. The general feeling of the Republican party in my State is that the colored people of the South deserve recognition from the incoming administration. This recognition is necessary to party organization. The young men especially need encouragement. I have no special name to mention to the General, without it be that of CoL A. E. Buck, of Atlanta, Ga., whom our people favor for a Cabinet position of some kind, or Hon. W. O. Bradley, of Kentucky, who would be acceptable to us as Attorneygeneral. My conversation with the President-elect will be shaped by the occasion, and of course I cannot now say what direction it will take." Invited to Visit General Harrison Sharon (ra.) Special to Pittsburg Dispatch. William Clark, aged ninety-five years, and a veteran of the war of 1812, has received an invitation from President-elect Harrison to visit him at his home in Indianapolis, or, after March 4, at Washington. Clark, in the campaign against tho Indians of the Northwest in 1811, served under William Henry H arrison, and was intimately acquainted with his General, beinat the memorable conference between Harrison and Tecumseh, on the Wabash river, seventy-nine years ago. Clark will probably accept the invitation from the grandson of his old chief. An Exhibit of Etchings. The annual exhibit of etchings by the Indianapolis Art Association will be opened on Tuesday afternoon, at 3 o'clock, and continue through Wednesday and Thursday, the hours being from 10 o'clock A. ar. to 9 o'clock p. M. The exhibit will be held at tho residence of Mr. and Mrs. T. L. Sewall, No. S13 North Pennsylvania street. The collection includes a largo number of the finest modern. etchings of the English, French and American schools, and also a very interesting selection of one hundred original Durers recently on exhibition in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and probably the best illustration of Durer's work ever seen in Indianapolis. Mrs. Sewall will read a paper on etchings at 3 o'clock Tuesday.
