Ipeclal to the Indianapolis Journal Washington, Oct. 3. The handsome and most appropriate floral design placed in the middle of the lunch table at the White Hoii6 reception yesterday was designed by Mrs. Harrison. The idea of having half the globe represented, with tho North and and South American continents embossed in flowers, was an original one. She had the piece made and placed on the table, and the tirat the President and Secretary Blaine knew of it was when they saw it on tue table. The water of the globe was represented by the 6mooth, deep-green leaves of tbe laurel or hoi1- giving almost the color ofthe8ea.au , laud, of flowers, gave the exact outlin the two continents.

FAN-AMERICAN EXCURSION

Delegates to the International Congress Start on Their Sight-Seeing Trip. rieasant and Fast Bide from Washington to New York, Durimr Which the Excursionists Get Acquainted with Each Other. Eeception and Military Display at West Point in Honor of the Nation's Guests. Portraits of Generals Grant, Sheridan and Sherman Unveiled The Latter's Feeling Remarks Gen. Harrison's Letter of Keg ret SIGHT-SEEING DELEGATES. Begluulngof the Long; Tilxcurslon Trip in Honor of Our South American Visitors. Washington, Oct. a The delegates to the International Amciican Congress wero astir at an early hour this morning to prepare for the long trip arranged for them by tho Department of State. The delegates partook of an early breakfast and then mado their way to the Pennsylvania railroad station, where, for fully three-quarters of an hour before tho scheduled time for starting the train, an nnnsual stir and activity wa& noticeable. Tho vestibule train wa9 early an object of admiration by a great crowd of sight-seers. Before 8 o'clock tho delegatesbegan to arrive, and were received at the station by William E. Curtiss, the special agent of the State Department in charge of the excursion. There was no formal leave-taking between the government officials and the delegate's. Many friends of the delegates' accompanied them to the station, and for half an hour before tho train started the scene was an animated one. At a quarter past 8 the warning "All aboard" was given, and promptly on scheduletimo tho train started on its long journey. Just as those who had been bidding farewell to' the excursionists wero leaving the gates at the station they met the Hon. John 13. Henderson, the president pro temtore of the congress, lie arrived about thiee minutes after the train had taken its departure. Ho was very much surprised when ho found the train had gone, believing, as he said, that it would not start promptly. He was evidently very much mortitied at having been left behind. An official of tho Department of State, however, undertook to arrange matters for him, and he took the 9 o'clock train. The Hide to New York. New Youk, Oct. 3. The pan-American excursion train reached Jersey City at 3:15 o'clock this afternoon, havingboen delayed by hot boxes. The run as far as Baltimore was unmarked by any notable event. One of the attaches .of the congress had been assigned to each of the cars composing the train, and these gentlemen used their best etlorts to make the statesmen gathered together trom the confines of the two continents acquainted with one another. Their efforts were attended with great success, and by the time Baltimore was reached, the delegates wero chatting together in groups, expressing their hopes and anticipations for the trip, and commenting upon the appearance of the country through which the train was running. The day was clear and cool, a tin?e of frost lingered in the air from over l .ight, the maples had begun to turn scarlet, and altogether tho scene, familiar enough to American eyes, presented a charmingly novel effect to the great mass of the delegates who come from the tropical and semi-tropical climates, and are accustomed to the Right of the spring .cactus and dark evergreen foliage of South American jun gles. .Mr. Henderson caught the train at Baltimore, where Dr. Sternberg was also taken on tho special train. This would not have been possible had not a delay occurred through the necessity for cutting oft" the sleeping-car "Russia." As tho party was somewhat smaller in numberthan had been expected, it was possible to cut off cne car and render tho train lighter withont discommoding the excursionists. At this point it was also discovered that tho new engine which had been provided to haul the train over the entire route had heated a bearing. A short time was spent in an ineffectual effort to get this in order, when another engine was substituted and the train proceeded on its way. The new engine will pick up the tram later in the day. Secretary Proctor occunied a seat in tho car "Columbus," having decided at the last moment to accompany the party as far as West Point, where he will view the mil itary parades. There have been some changes in the list of excursionists. Tho delegates from the Argentine Republic wero absent. Messrs. Estee and Hanson, American delegates, who had intended to ioin tho party later on. concluded to embark at Washington. Delegates Pereira of Brazil, Navarro and Limantour of Mexico, Guzman of Nicaragua and Andrado of Venezuela, who were set down as of the party, declined to go at the last moment. It appears that many of the delegates to tho congress, presumably unacquainted with the luxurious surroundings and conveniences of the modern American palace car, were fearful of the fatigues in store for them during a tour lasting forty days. AT WEST TOINT. The Visitors "Witness the Unveiling of the For trait of Grant, Sherman and Sheridan West Point. N. Y., Oct. a West Point, to-day, was the scene of some imposing ceremonies which are destined to become memorable in its annals, and to mark the occasion as a red-letter day in ;ts history. The visit of the International American Congress and the unveiling of the portraits of Grant, Sheridan and Sherman were the principal features. The United States steamship Yorktown, which arrived last night, was welcomed with military courtesies. To-day the officers of the ship and of the academy have been exchanging calls, and hundreds of people have visited the vessel. Mr. G. W. Childs and his guests, numbering thirty-five, arrived at 2 o'clock, in a special train, from Philadelphia. The special train containing thed6legates to the International American Congress did not arrive till 5 o'clock, an hour later than scheduled time. Tho run frotn Weehawken to West Point (forty-eight miles), was mado in fifty minutes. Carriages awaited the delegates and they were driven to the residence of Superintendent Wilson, where a distinguished company had assembled to welcome them. The battalion of cadets had been assembled half an hour previously, and was drawn up in line on the plain. The booming of cannon announced the arrival at the post of tho distinguished and special guests. The Secretary of War was tho first to alight from the carriage and ttep upon the veranda of the superintendent's quarters. He was warmly greeted by General Sherman, Gen. Horace Porter, General Van Vliet, Mr. Geo. W. Childs, Wayne MacVeaeh and the academic and. military stafl of the post. There was an immense crowd of spectators congregated under the trees on the edge of the plain. The battalion of cadets marched in review before the visitors. The machine-like precision of movement and soldierly appearance of the cadets elicited from the foreigners many complimentary remarks. The battalion marched to Grant Hall, the crowd quickly following, and in a twinkling tho hall was jammed with people. A platform had been erected at the north end of the room, where the portraits of three great generals Grant. Sherman and Sheridan hung on the wall, each veiled in a United States flag. These magnificent paintings were the gift of Mr. George W. Childs, of Philadelphia, to the Military Academy. The gathering was probably the most notable that has assembled in many years at the historic academy. Among the'note-

worthy citizens of the United States present were General Horace Porter, Gen.

Fitz John Porter. Collector Krhardt, of New York, General Hastiugs, tho Secretary of War, General Sherman. Gen. VajiVliet, Judge Horace Russell, Senator Pierce and Wavne MacVeagh. These were supplemented by the distinguished foreign representatives. The exercises were opened with nraver by the chaplain of the post, Rev. Mr. Postlethwaite. The superintendent then said that tho next step was tho unveiling of tho portraits presented to the academy by Mr. Childs. He raised his hand, the tap of a drum followed, the flags fell from the pictures, and they stood revealed in all their beauty. The battalion presented arms, the band played "Hail Columbia," and the audience sprang to their feet and cheered. Gen. Horace Porter was then introduced, and "made tho presentation address. The address was followed by "lhe starspangled Banner," played by the band, the audience standing. Superintendent Wilson, in a short address, accepted the portraits. The Secretary of War then made a few remarks. General Sherman, who, dnring all these ceremonies, had sat on the platform with folded Lauds and tear-dimmed and downcast eyes, in response to many calls, was next introduced. As the General arose the assemblage broke forth into wild cheering. Tho remarks of the old warrior were few, but every word he "uttered was eagerly caught by his hearers. He said it was by one of those strangelyappointed accidents of life that he was permitted to bo the sole survivor of what General Porter had termed the great trio of generals of tho late war. "I was older than Grant or Sheridan," ho said. "No three men ever lived on this earth so diflercnt from each other as the three men whoso Sortraits you are looking at. They were i tie rent m all respects save one, and that was in their devotion to their country of whatever talents they possessed. They were joined together in the true-hearted service of their country." His remarks were mainly addressed to the cadets, advising them to love and serve their country and obey the laws and those in authority over them. By the country he said he meant the whole country, no political party. The band played "Marching through Georgia," and "Old Tecumseh" joined in the laughter it caused. The benediction was pronounced by Rev. John Brown, D. D.. of New York. The guests of the government were then driven to the Cranster Hotel, where dinner was served, and at 9 o'clock this evening a reception was held at the quarters of Col. Wilson, superintendent of West Point, in honor of the international delegates. Tho following is President Harrison's letter to Mr. Childs, expressing his inability to attend: ' , Executive Maxsioxi . Washington, Sept. 30. George W. Childs, Philadelphia: My Dear Sir I am Just in receipt of your kind Invitation to attend tho exercises at est l'oint on the 3d proximo, in connection with presentation by you to toe academy of the portraits of Generals Grant, Sherman and Sheridan. Let me assure you that I decline tho invitation with regret. But my engagements here are "feuch aa to make an acceptance impossible. The observation by the cadets of the portraits of these great captains and patriots cannot fail to be a source of inspiration and, encouragement. Very sincerely yours, Benjamin Haebisoj?. Mr. Illalne's Speech Praised. City of Mexico, Oct. 3. The great interest taken here in the international American congress is shown. by the fact that several papers held open in order to publish Secretary Blaine's speech to tho delegates. This was a most unusual proceeding, as some of the morning papers go to press as early as noon, and all before 8 o'clock at night. President Diaz, when shown the speech of the American Secretary of State, said it was admirable. Finance Minister .Dnblaiue, Minister of Justice Baranda and Minister of the Interior Romero Rubio all praised the speech. Hope They Will Not Become Satellites. Madrid, Oct. 3. All tho leading Spanish newspapers, in commenting upon tho international American congress at Washington, unite in expressing the hope that the Spanish-American republics will not allow themselves to be made satellites of tho United States. Obituary. ' .' . t NAsrmiXE.Tenn., Oct. 3. Casimir Zdanowicz, M. A., professor of modern languages in Vanderbilt University.. died this morning.

He answered that ho would. Sho replied: "AU right, I will do it. but you must kiss me good-bye." He did so, and she deliberately 6prang out of the window. She vas instantly killed. Marital unhappiness was tho cause. Lumber Company Attached. CriATTAXOOOA, Tenn.. Oct. C The North Alabama Lumber Company, of Bridgeport, Ala.', recently organized with a capital stock of $73,000 fully paid up, was attached by creditors to-day. Delay in the commencement of operations is thought to have caused the embarrassment. The liabilities are about $100,000, and the assets are estimated to be nearly $200,000. The assets consist very largely of logs awaiting high water in the river, four saw-mi lis; one plan-ing-mill and other accessories of tho lumber business, large tracts of coal and mineral land, and nearly tho whole town-sito of Bridgeport. To Be Whipped for Wife-Beating. Baltimore, Oct. S. John Eisenbergcr, thirty-bve years of age, a man of slender build, was convicted to-day of brutal wifebeating. Jndge Phelps sentenced him to fifteen lashes and thirty days in jail. The sentence took tho prisoner's breath, for it is most unusual to inflict punishment by tho lash; but his treatment of a frail wife was more than inhuman. Eisenbergcr is the fourth man sentenced to the lash for wife-beating since tho enactment of tho law in 1S8C The Same Old Story. Boston Qlobe. The real tug-of-war now confronts New York in the problem of raising the vast funds, necessary for the world's fair. It is rather unfortunate that this gTeat project has been thus far localized instead of nationalized. None the less is New York tho proper place for the fair, and the wholo Nation ought now to take hold and raise the f nnd3. 0 Died for Ilia Principles. Chicago Tiroes.

A Richmond Man of Good Family and Once a Successful Lawyer Dies a Tramp. Special to the Iiidianapoll Journal. Elkhart, Oct. S.

Montague, of this city, has filed suit against Hon. B. W. Hanna, ex-minister to tho Argentine Republic, to recover $202. Mr. M6ntaguo alleges that shortly after Cleveland was elected he gave Hanna $200 to go to Washington to secure (for Montague) the appointment to an Indian acencv. Bnt it seems that Hanna did more wire-pulling for himself than Tor Montague, and consequently tho latter got left, while Hanna went on his foreign mission. Montague also claims to have paid $62 for market bills during the time that Hanna was "sugaring" Clevelandin his own favor. Montague is willing to compromise, and the caso will thus stand until Mr. Hanna returns from West Baden springs and makes a proper settlement. Horse-Thief Neatly Caught.

Fashions in Table Llnon. Kew York World. The old-fashioned feminine pride in wellstocked linen closets is now reviving, and wedding presents to young couples of expensive towels, satin-like damask: and sets of hem-stitched sheets and pillow-cases are the most acceptable things that near friends and relatives can give. Dainty women aro not contented with towels -whose borders do not show an elaborately knotted fringe, an edge of drawn-work, a band of Irish Jiax needlework or her monogram in delicate and intricate embroideries. Of these there should be many dozens, and some housekeepers have 'sets of them for every bedroom, and these are not used elsewhere, the embroidery being made to match the decorations of each chamber. A pretty fashion of hanging the towels beside tho washstand is to pass broad ribbons, of Bome color that will hatmonize with the rest of the room, through the bra rings, and hang them above the stand, passing the towels through tho rincs. Besides the chamber towels there should be a distinct set for tho bath-room, including, big ones of fine Turkish toweling and Russian crash, with a big monogram worked in the corners in linen Uoss. The sheets should have hems two or three inches deep, with the edges hemstitched and a monogram worked in tho corner, and the pillowslips should be mado to match. These same dainty housekeepers bind their snowy . blankets with ribbons and work the monogram in the center in colored silks, but tho bed linen is never allowed a touch of color and is always kept immaculately white. Nearly all the table-linen is white also, the edges being hand hemmed and the monogram or single initial being embroidered upon them. There are also seta of cloths, and napkins for luncheon and tea which have fringed and pale-tinted borders in. these linen closets and a quantity of richlyembroidered scarfs to ran down tho center of tho table for use at dinnerparties. Others are of lace or drawn work with colored silk beneath them, and there should be three or four sets of embroidered doylies for tingcr-bowls. carving-cloths and fccaiis jui iuu Mueuuuru uuu siye i a Dies, as well as a pretty cloth to throw over the tablo when the 5 o'clock tea-tray is brought into tho drawing-room or tho library. Besides ail these, there will be found in the wellStocked linen closet a 6tcro of splashers, embroidered in quaint outline designs, and embroidered iscarfs for toilet. nH drpatni tables. A good housekeeper can never have too many of these belongings if they aro fine and good, and not only is it an excellent occupation fcr herself to provide them, bnt amy one in doubt and -wishing to give a gift will always be sure of satisfying her with some such purchase from the ehors wherework of this sort is kept. Farm Notes. No rule can be laid down for salting buttor to make it the most satisfactory to the consumer. Tastes differ. Some want a great deal of salt and others none. Unless you are supplying a private customer, therefore, salt at the rate of from three-quarrers to an ounce per pound. Small breeds of fowls lay as large eggs as do the large breeds. Tho black Spanish produces the largest eggs. The Leghorn. which is a small fowl, lays large white egss. lhe Brahma and Cochin; which are tho largest breeds of fowls, lay dark eggs. They are also excellent winter layer, but .re Blow in reaching maturity. It should be set down as a rule, and strictly adhered to, that no noxious plant should be permitted to maturo its seed on any part of the farm or along any roadsido contiguous to the farm. It is the bounden duty of every farmer to destroy aud nttorly exterminate the weeds on tho roads that pass through or along his farm. . Garden preparation should really becin in the fall. Gardens, as a rule, contain more weeds than any other hpoJ on tho faJm Viey should bo mowed down, raked ott and burned. The plot then should bo plowed, to remain in the rough condition for the frost to penetrate. It will render the cultivation easier in the spring. The proper management of the cream his more influence onthoqualily of putter than has the. pasture. The cows in the Elgin butter region have pastures inferior to those provided the animals in some other sections, while the milk is separated from the cream, and the churning performed in the same manner as elsewhere, bnt tho cream is carefully watched, and the butt r worked well. Nearly all of the cows in the Elgin region are Holsteins or Holsteia grades. u W-rcwflton tells in Hoard's Dairyman how he kills the horns on his calves. Ho says: Get a stick of caustic potash, then when tho calf is, say, ten days old. take it by both ears, stand straddle of it, then lefr an assistant have a little water, wet tho place where the horn would come, then, alter wrapping a rag around one end of tho caustic, rub the other end on the horn spot, it being wet will dissolve enough ot tha caustic to cause a dry scab to form. If thoroughly rubbed for. say. a minute, one operation is all-sullicient. Mr. Brazeltons calves six months old, thus treated, have not a si gn of a horn. t - m Didn't Talk Shop.
