Describing Indiana't Citizens. “The citizens of Indiana,’ 9 says the Gazetteer, “exhibit the different traits and manners of all parts of the Union. The great mass of the population is composed of emigrants from different parts of America and from various European countries, who have not resided together a sufficient length of time to form a compos assimilation of manners; but they are gradually approximating to a unltormlty; while, among the citizens generally, there is evidently an increasing taste for the more refined and ornamental accomplishments which enhance the enjoyments of social Intercourse. • • * The Citizens have not embarked extensively In the manufacturing business, but domeatic fabrics, both cotton and woolen, are manufactured In families In great abundance in all parts of the State.” Alas, the very class of manufactures of which the Gazetteer boaster are no more and innumerable manufactures of which the author, John Scott, never dreamed ase-in every part of the State. Some descriptions of the towns of that day are Interesting: "Brookvllle was established In 1808 and now contains about 800 inhabitants, two grinding mills, a saw mill, a cotton factory and a carding machine, five stores, three taverns, four lawyers, three doctors and a large number of artisans industriously engaged in the pursuit of the various mechanical arts. Indianapolis aa It was Then. "Indianapolis was located as the State seat of government in 1820. The ground on which It la located, together with the suburbs, embracing altogether- the amount of four sections of land, was secured to this State for a permanent seat of government, by a compact with the United States at the time -when Indiana became a State. In the spring of 1821 the town was laid out and in the early part of October following, a sale of the lots took place at public vendue. The lots, with the exception of those on the Governor’s square, contain a third of an acre, being sixty-seven and one-half feet In front and extending back 196 feet. Those on the square mentioned contain & quarter of an acre. • * • The original plat of the town was a mile square. • * • Pogue’s run, peszlng through the southern part of the town, constantly affords a supply of running water. The soil of the town and environs is exceedingly rich and productive. Garden vegetables grow most luxuriously and there Is a commendable degree of taste and industry displayed In the cultivation of them. • * * The area being so large, and the improvements extending over so considerable a space, the town does not present, to the casual observer, as splendid an appearance as if it were more compact. It has about 300 houses, generally of brick and frame. There are three large and convenient meeting houses, one for the Methodists. one for ihe Presbyterians and one

for the Baptists. • • • v The Public Buildings.

“Among the public buildings is a court hruse, 00 by 46 feet, two stories high, with a lofty cupola, belonging to the State and county jointly, In which the Legislature and the superior and inferior courts hold their sessions. A very large and splendid Btate House is Just commenced. It will be 180 feet long and W feet wide and 45 feet from the foundation to the cornice, with an appropriate dome. It is on the model of the Parthenon at Athens. The architect is Ithiyl Town, of New York. A handsome bridge, costing at out 825,'JOO. is oeing erected across White river, to connect the Cumberland read, which, according to contract, is to be finished during the present

season 0888)."

[Some years ago. deeming the old bridge Insufficient for travel and fearing it would soon be untafe, a bridge was built .at Washington street, tpanning the river. This latter bridge, showing signs of feebleness, is to be replaced with a stone ttructure to cost 8150.U0C. If Comptroller Dunn can find the money. The sturdy old bridge, after sixty-eight years of

service, still stands.]

Crown Hill in 1833.

Following la a description of what is now wrown Hill: "Mt. McCormack Is a curious and singular hill In Marlon county, on the Michigan road, about four miles Northwest from IndUnapollo. It stands on the level lands between Fall creek and White river. The general elevation cf the surrounding country may be estimated at from eighty to one hundred feet above the beds of the streams on each side, and the elevation of the hill is estimated at from 120 to 160 feet above the surrounding lands. It Is irregularly circular, and the average diameter of its base is about fifty poles, covering an area of 10 or 12 acres. • • • From Its summit

mirer of nature’s works. This hill has been called Dorsey’s Knob, after the name of a former occupant. It Is now (1882) named after the present owner, who

resides on the premises."

[Previous to passing Into the ownership of the Crown Hill Cemetery Association, about 1863, the place was owned by Martin Williams, and was cultivated as a fruit farm. The hill was then famous for the strawberries grown upon it.] Miami county: Organized in 1832 with perhaps 600 white population, chiefly residing at the differetn Indian villages and engaged In the Indian trade. A considerable nortion of Miami county lies within the bounds of the Miami reservation, and the Indian population within the county Is estimated at 600 or 700. The counties of Cass, Miami, Wabash and Grant include a part of the Miami reserve, still claimed and occupied by the Miami Indians. There is still a part of it not included within the prescribed limits of any county. The reserve contains 576,000

acres.

Vincennes Age, Madison's Prosperity. Of Vincennes the Gazetteer says that town is by far the oldest town In the State, established by Frenchmen about 1680, and was until within a few years the largest and most Important. • • • The present population consists of 1,600 inhabitants, about one-sixth of whom are French. The most prosperous town of that day was Madison, with a population of 2,500. The Gazetteer says: “It is estimated that within the months of March and April last an amount of not less than 8120,000 in merchandise was imported to this town, which was chiefly sold to country merchants at wholesale on terms as fair as could be had at Cincinnati or Louisville. One mercantile house Imported froih the low country (New Orleans) 300 bags of coffee, 100 hogsheads of sugar, fifty hogsheads of molasses and other articles in large quantities.” Newspapers and Publishers. Following is a list of all the newspapers then published in Indiana, of which the oldest is the Western Sun, of Vincennes, together with the names of- the publishers: Indiana Journal. 1 Indianapolis, Douglass A Maguire; Indiana Democrat, Indianapolis, Morrison & Bolton; Western Times, Centerville, Hall A Boon; Ft.

A Slight Injury on July 4 Followed by, Death. George W. Andrews, thirty-six years old, died yesterday afternoon at hie home, 2400 North New Jersey street, of lockjaw, the result of a slight accident on the Fourth. Mr Andrews was shooting a toy pistol on that day. In loading the pistol It wag accidentally discharged, the wad and some powder entering his right hand near the little finger. ‘ Dr. Long dressed the woupd shortly after the accident and told Andrews to come back the next day, but Andrews failed to do this and as a result blood poisoning set in. Not much attention w«s paid to the hand until Wednesday, when he suffered great pain. Wednesday night his jaws became firmly locked and this was followed by convulsions. Drs. B. E. Earp and E. F. Hodges were called and made every effort to save his life, but the blood; poisoning had got beyond the skill of the physicians.

St. Paul’s Dogmas. [London Spectator.] Many religious men In the present day have no interest In polemics; they want a religion on which to build their lives and their hopes; they do not desire to build a theology—In the general sense of the word. But did St. Paul consider the magnificent superstructure which he raised upon the primitive teachings of Christ to be an essential part of the faith? If so, why did he say: “Other foundation can no man lay than that which Is laid even Jesus Christ,” adding that on that foundation a man may build in “gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, stubble,” and declaring that such work may "abide" or may "be burned”? If he believed his developments of Christian dogma to be essential to salvation, why did he not always preach them? Even if he did so believe. are other Christians bound to agree with him? We can not see that they are. St. Paul never claimed the infallibility which the churches have thrust upon him. If so how could he have said that he "saw in a glass darkly" and "knew in

part"?

If what Is called the plan of salvation was to him a matter of arithmetical certainty. what did he mean by saying: "We fcre saved by hope, but hope that is seen is not hope, for what a man seeth now why doth he yet hope for?” And again, who that for one moment dreamed of his own Infallibility could declare, as St. Paul did, that he counted all gains but loss, “if by any means I might attain to the resurrection of the dead, not as t

Management Hopes to Help Waary Working Women to Recover Strength—How the Babies Thrive at the Mission.

"One of the things ws hope to do this year,” said Mrs. Ella B. McCoy, manager of the Freeh Air Mission, "is to make our place popular with delicate, weary working women, as well aa to continue to give children an outing. Whenever we hear of a sick, overworked mother, pining away in close, hot rooms, we try to persuade her to come out here and gain strength under the trees. On* would be surprised to see bow hardworking mothers snjoy a day’s rsst hers with the children. They say it makes them better able- to do the weekly washings. A week out here in the fresh air, surrounded by trees and flowers, will do as much good as a trip out of town for a ijoor soul cooped up in a little west

front room ”

The Formal Opening Next Week. The formal opening of the mission this year will occur July 19. That will be the day when the place is dressed in Its best attire, to welcome its friends. The children arc already out there, and the improvements completed. This year a creche has been added to the little bark cottage, where mothers may warm milk and care for their babies. Dressing rooms have been added to the bath bouse, and the water heated for the pool. The swings have a fresh coat of red paint, which adds to their gayety, and the sand pile is in prime condition. It is hard to put into black and whit* all the good done by the mission. To fully appreciate its blessings, .one must imagine himself to be a little sick baby, about a year old, with legs very weak and wobbly, and only a faint idea of what it’s all about, anyway. When first carried cut to the mission, all the baby can do is to lie ln*the hammock under a fly net, and try to figure out what all the green means. In three or four days, or perhaps a week, this same little weak baby finds that his legs are strong enough to carry him about; and he soon finds himself sitting contentedly In the soft, warm sand, smiling at the antics oi

the other children. No Medicine Needed.

He Is fable. If he is given time and plenty of room, to go up to the gay pink geraniums and the other flowers mingled with the vines in the garden boxes and sniff the fragrance. He tries to pull the nasturtiums that help to make a fence. All this he does without having bad any nasty medicine poked down his little throat—just fresh air, and good milk. This Is what happened to one little sick baby Yhls week, and It happens every week. So, tpo, the mother who lies In the hammock the first day, goes home at night and gets a good, restful sleep, and soon finds irerself viewing life and work with new Interest, for the breeze, the sunshine, the flowers, and the good food make the body strong and the mind cieax. There are plenty of cases where the mission has done a world of good for mothers and entire families. One case In point is that of the family of a laboring man who had lost everything in a fire. His family had no place to go until the mission took them in and clothed, fed

and cared for them.

Interest in the Children.

But somehow It is the children that one likes best to hear about. Passengers on the Fairvlew cars always watch out for tho McCulloch cottage, with Its white walls, green blinds, and wide verandas, and the playground surrounding It. Faces grow softer, and if there happens to be a glimpse of a sick baby in the nurse’s arms on the porch, everyone says, "Oh, poor little thing"; aad everyone means to give something right away for the support of

the mission.

There is always & pet baby at the mission. Last year it was little Glen— this year It Is John. He is a one-year-old, so active and full of cunning ways and bright tricks that Mrs. McCoy and her assistant. Miss Sarah Smith, are kept busy relating his wonderful doings. Failed to Bounce Back. Politeness reigns among the babies at the mission. The visitor frequently sees a small boy of fom or five years, staggering about under the weight of a baby brother or sister, and being truly sorry to find, when he drops the baby on the ground or board walk, that. Instead of bouncing back Into his arms, like a rubber ball, the baby flattens out on the ground and thinks it worth crying about. The other day. Mrs. McCoy called to a very little shaver, who was dangerously near the fountain, telling him he would fall In. He came gravely over and stood before her. *

The Day’s Program.

Mr. Andrews was a brick contractor The day’s program Is a very simple one.

The street cars running to the park from 6:10 to 9 a. m., take the children out. The long ride, for some of them come great distances, and the fresh air, give them good appetites, so at 10 o’clock a lunch, consisting of plenty of fresh milk and crackers, is given them. Ten gallons of milk are used dally. Warm days between 10 and 11 o'clock, the children all go Into the pool for fifteen minutes. Bathing suits are furnished and the temperature of the water makes it possible for the weakest children to enjoy the bath. They do enjoy It, too, and the air rings with their shouts and splatters. The regular dinner is served at 12:30 o’clock. The mission has a fine cook and the menu is an attractive one. It consists always of one good meat, two vegetables. pudding, tea for the mothers, and milk for the children. Sometimes there Is fiult, graham crackers and other things, to give variety. In the afternoon the children play in the swings or sand pile, take naps in the hammocks or enjoy themselves any way they please. At 8 o’clock the cars take them home. BUTLER COLLEGE OPTION. On Proparty Fronting th* Campus

The directors of Butler Collage have accepted an option from the Collett estate on ten lots fronting the college campus on the east, in Irvington. The lots will afford a fine outlook and will protect the college property in the future from any chance undesirable neighbor*. It will also practically unite the campus and the site of the Bona Thompson library.

The day was hot and two little street urchins found It refreshing to sit on the edge of the fountain in University park and dangle their feet in the cool water. Their eyes were casting about for some new diversion just as a neatly-dressed boy with a library book under one arm happened along, and they suggested to him that they have a water fight. Before he could decline the street boys had splashed him from head to foot. Making his escape, the little chap found his way to a seat some distance away and surveyed his enemies with hatred. The two urchins, finding no other victim near at hand, boldly mounted the rim of the basin and began rsilng around on it. This furnished a new source of

amusement, and the loungers in the park watched the youngsters In expectation of still greater sport. They were not dieappointed. for one of the boys became dizzy and made a misstep, throwing him into the pool. There was a great splash and a very wet and very frightened youngster was pulled out by his equally frightened companion. A hurried glance about the park disclosed a policeman approaching and the boys were not long in deciding to move on. As they passed out one of the entrances the boy in the good clothe* whom they had mistreated called after them. “Say, won’t you have a water fight, kid*?” And with the bluecoat striding down the walk, the wet urchins could only hurry away. The boy in good clothes wore a grin expressive of satisfaction and safety. ♦ + ♦ A man leaned against one of the steam radiators in a cigar store in one of the down-town office buildings yesterday, when the summer was coming down the atretch on itz second great heat. The man said things that were lurid in them reive* and seemed to convey eoine veiled hint as to warmth, " ’Course it’s hot," said one of the clerks, “but it ain’t as hot here aa it is some, places. Now, down in Washington street—’’ but he ♦as rudely interrupted by the heated one with, "Well that’s all right about Washington street, but they don’t have steam heat there, anyway.’’ “We don’t either.” said the aggrieved clerk, “and if I were you I’d stop smoking those fancy cigarettes. “Yeh ain’t got steam, eh?” snorted the heated one. who was large and husky. ‘•Well, I’ll give you some.” And ho ironed the clerk op the radiator until there was an odor of singeing cloth-

ing.

The test was convincing. There was undoubtedly steam In the radiator, and more than enough of it. The engineer- was carefully approached, for he wa* a truculent-looking man, and was asked if it were warm enough for him. He preserved a dignified silence, not even asking what “it” wa*. “Sort of limbering things up for cold weather?" wa* next asked, and the question brought forth some remarks that were not nearly as dignified as the silence. “Maybe you had some steam left over from last winter, and - was afraid it wouldn’t be good when cold weather comes, or maybe you think you can improve cn nature and steam-heat the whole building better, than she can, but Isn’t such a thing rather unusual, and mightn’t it establish a bad precedent -for other engineers?”’was next suggested. The engineer was attacked out of hie element. There were no wrenches nor other such bric-a-brac at hand, and so he made verbal answer. “I don’t know as It Is any uv yer durn business, an’ I don’t know as Us anything unusur&l. but I wux Just burnln’ some trash in the furnace. What’s It to yeh,

anyway?"

islands of the blest.

The real grounds for the strong attraction of the possession of an island lie in the necessary difference of life there from everyday existence elsewhere. It is impossible to get entirely away from the natural and primitive conditions of life in such surroundings. By the nature of things something of the difficulty which prehistoric man had to encounter in the struggle with natural forces reasserts itself. Over-civilIzed people, or minds tired with the "painful ease” of modern life, find a freshness and a new Joy In life in the enforced naturalness of island sursoundlngs. They cheerfully exchange the more complex conveniences for the satisfaction of encountering the breezy and primitive problems whicn our prehistoric or alratical ancestors had to solve with very different means. An island estate makes its owner become maritime in spite of himself. He finds all kinds of new Interests in the mere business of getting to, from, and around his property. Instead of locomotion by means of organization and a timetable, he discovers that he must time his visits by reference to wind and tide. This alone enlarges his views of life, because he will before long discover in going to and fro that to people who live on islands, time, as it is understood elsewhere, does not particularly matter. Half-hours do not count, much less minutes, when goings and comings depend on the gain or loss of a tide. He soon finds himself the possessor of many forms of property of which he perhaps never contemplated the ownership, and which few people regard In the light

of individual possessions.

He builds or finds built a pier or jetty. That is Indispensable if landings are to be safe and possible at all seasons. He becomes gradually and of necessity the owner of boats; probably of what pur Viking ancestors would have called ships. In their use he becomes more or less of an exoert. and as he must emplov other people to manage and sail them in his absence, he finds that in addition to becoming lord of bis Island he Is also the commodore of a squaaron. Quite a world of possibilities, and of necessary responsibilities of the lighter kind, open to view. Instead of a luggage-cart he owns a lug-gage-boat, and as he must import his own stores and provisions, this will probably be a largo and strong sailing-boat, able to carry a few tons of coal or potatoes or bricks, or to take cattle and sheep across the mainland. Instead of a carriage he will have his sailing pleasure-

How Mail Beats Passe

[Osnton’s Magazine.]

The vaat difference between th* mail service and the passenger is well illustrated by the following fact: One of the Pacific railroad* hauls a combination train, mail and passenger, over the mountains. When the level country Is reached the mall cars are out off and sent on ahead. A passenger leaving the coast may mail a letter in one of these cars on his own train, and by the time he has reached Chicago he will find that th# letter has already gone through the Chicago postofflee, been delivered and is waiting for aim at his hotel.

to own an Island is one which will enlist general sympathy. There are. Indeed, very few minds to which some such idea has not occurred. Some, no doubt, entertain It from an egotistical desire to be monarchs of all they survey, and, to own a place in which they can be a law to themselves, if not to other people. But apart from this aspect of the fancy for islands—one which might perhaps be gratified by paying the Sultan £200,000 in cash for the right to be hospodar, or hereditary prince, of some islet in the ^Egean, with a picturesque population 02 currant growers and sponge fishers-, there is much to be said for an island

domain as a residence.

Fancy and imagination do not err in investing these sea-girt acres with exceptional charm. It is not for nothing that nearly all the Islands of Europe lie on the west of the lands which they adjoin. They all seem fragments that have left the land and straggled seaward toward the setting sun. In warm climates they are generally homes of cool breezes and of running waters, for the sea winds and vapor* temper the sun’s heat and moisten the hill-tope. Trinidad and Dominica are the realization of Atlantis and Avalon—the living sunset Islands, set in the Wsetern
