The twentieth annual meeting of the National Temperance Society was held yes terday In New York. Tns Prohibitionists of Kansas received a et back recently, when the State Sapreme Court decided that the law granting unusual powers to the County Attorney wa3 unconBtitational. Ex'Fbzsidekt Roberts, ol the recently broken bank of Augusta, Ga., cnt hia throat yesterday. His wounds are ver7 ugly bat rosy not prove fatal. His recent troubles In connection with the bank havo rendered him partially ineane. "William Wrioiit, the alleged cxpresi robber and almost a murderer, would probably Lave bea lynched yesterday at Bloom ingtcn had ha been identified. He will have a further hearing on Friday. He says he can establish an alibi. It is reported that tho President recently eaid: "I wish that the newspapars would let me know these things before the appointments are made." It depend? npon what sort of things the President refers t3. A good many thing" which the newspapers publish especially the "rot" that is made up by Bourbon Republican correspondents at Washington are clear cat Ilea, Thbee has been an attempt recently In some quarters to blame the administration with the recent defeat of the Democratic candidate for the Iliincis Legislature. In referring to it, the New York San ssya: "It is not of Grovcr Cleveland and his policy that the Democrats complain, but it :s of WilPam R. Morrison and tho narrow, incapable and absurd management of the Illinois Democracy which has d'sgustetf the Thirty-fourth District Nothing, in our judgment, can be mora unfair or unwise than to attribute this remarkable political manifestation to any cause existing at Washington. The causa exists in Illinois and the focus of its action is in the Legislature at Springfield." Toe Chicago Tribune keep3 hammering away at the rotten old canal claims which are being prepared to hoist upon the Illinois Legislature. It said yesterday: "Ihe old canal claims have been before the Legislature, State commissions and the courts several times, and they were fioally adjudicated in 1855 by a ccmmiEsIon of tbree eminent citizens, who made an award of nearly 150,000, which was accepted by the claimants in full settlement. That of itself Is a bar against all claimants who submitted their claims to that tribunal. On this and on all other occasions when the merits of the canal claims bate been Investigated, thejdemand for indemnification on account of the depreciation of the scrip has been dieallowed, for the reasons given." An English evangelist recently asserted that St, Louis was about the wickedest city in the world. Paris would probably be proud of the distinction, but not so St. Louiy. The papers of tho latter denied the charge emphatically. Tbe following figures will prcbably aid one in deciding tho matter: Whilo the aggregate attendance at the churches last Sunday was not mere than 10.C00. 40,000 witnesced a cawboy exhibition at the fair grounds, 20,000 attended various r:ne ball games, 20,000 spent the day In beer gardens, and 5.0C0 heard two lictores by Bob Ingersoll. The newspapers want tho people to have the freedom of tbo city, and probably do not think that the foregoing figures show anything as to the city's wickedness one way or the other. TnERK Is some excitement in Washington over reports that the water supplies of the city are polluted and fnll of impurities. A special aaya that General Biyntoo, who recently vltiied the (in at Falls of the Potomac, from which the city is supplied with its drinking water, fays that about seventyüve yards above the head cf the conduit a break occurred in the canal sometime ago. Instead of repairing It the Casal Company set in soma timber, erected gates and constructed a regular sluiceway throngh which all the filth and excrement which collect on that entire level pour down into the river and are carried right down to the very hrad of the conduit. He s!d also that there are numerous dirty stable, fool hog pens and priviei along the canal there, and that all the filth from thsa is washed through the sluiceway into tho river at the head of the conduit. The overflow from the canal at that point wu criminally constructed below the head of tha ccndult, but the Canal Company found it oore convenient and cheaper to utilizs ths

break for a sluice way, and did eo regardless cf consequence to the health of Washingten from Impure water. A city must have pure water to drink, or be visited with dtath or disease. The ravages of the typhoid fever at Plymouth, Fenn.. are doubtless the mult of polluted water supplies.

BRICKS THROWN A.T MR. CLEVELAND. To the Editor of the Sentinel: In jcur Issue of the Olh Inst you have an editorial maded, "Uphold the Administration," ia ttblch you feeexn to ridicule the idea ol a caacge cl Government officers and employes, asrtin that tbo ciiticl&rcs on tfco tardiiusi of tbeadtntnIs ration como from dhappoluted pi ace-seek en. I Tilth to inform you that there is not an apniicnt in this township for any position: tnat Cleveland's majority wai 12S. find that should the election cccur next Tuesday he wouli not get City vote, all told, in the to tig!ilp. We did not t oo for Cleveland as a an ; wo voted for a Daciooatlc administration. Lut the Cleveland policy is i ct Tat we voted lor. We would rather trat ovt candlcate had been defeated than to have the ?Av.j;h on us, as it now I. We tea th3 men. woo hare oppressed us and who opposed us to the bitter trod, retained in oftice and we rea l, now aid then, of a Ilepablcan reviving appointment. Wo are told by the heads o! department tat n nay uke yean to rem ve tnc K?pabltrans. on the plea that the business o! the Goverrment would be endangered by pitting Jn democrats at ore?. ir. we Democrats have pride In our party. We know tfc at we bate as well educated end, judzing by toe pasr, XDoie honest men in our petty tbau are in tne Republican party men fully competent to manage tid operate ihe ailalrs of the Government to dy, and we feel that further delay by the administration iä making chance is unntce&sir andunjcut. Republican oliiclals have violated the.r trust, but It appears they innst ill bo proven criminals before the administration will remove them. l' l I ,. . ...

We are not able to namo tho men who did it, bat we do know theyvreie Republicans. We are proud of our 8'ate administration, but tor the present va r disappointed in theotioraU lioplai: foraonutbitig better Yours truly, Mn v Voterj. Deerfield, Ind., Miy 12. The foregoing communication was not written for Iub. The writer of it ia a Demccrtt no mistaie about that. We frankly admit, too, that his is not an isolated complaint.' Beyond any question conslderabla discatisfacticn hes sprung np in the Indiana Democratic ranks with the tardiness of the cdminiatratioa in rraking changes. The letter under comment is a condensation of xnest of tho criticisms preferred. Ono other, net included therein, is tho point made th&t Indiana has been tbo leztt recognized of any important State. Our correspondent points 'to the gallant conduct of the Indiana Democracy throughout all theso years of Republican misrule; that Indiana was the first of the States to wheel into the Democratic column after the war, ia which her Democratic soldiery covered themselves with glory in fighting for the Union; that she has teen more to the Union In war nnd'to tha Nation and Democratic party in peace, than nas other States which have been favored by tbo administralicn, albalt she has Dsmocratic Bons full as able and honest, while mora renowned than many of tbo selections for high pJacss by the administration. Another correspondent complains 'that not only havo Indiana Demccrata been siightf d in the Washington ofilces, but that they are not even given the offices within tho State: that tha United 8tates District Attorney, an 'oilensive partisan' if there over was one, atill holds his place; eo with the United States Marshal; eo with all, save one of the Revenue Collectors; eo with hundreds of Pcstmasters, a dozsn or so excepted, and so with the many other Republican place holders." We give these criticisms without reservation, as they have been made by men whom we know to be loyal to the Union, the S'ate and the party. The communication printed herewith dees the Sentinel injustice when saying we "seem to ridicule the idea of a change of government officers and employes." Wa have distinctly stated our eager desire to tee tho entire machinery of the Government tranaftred into Democratic bands. We are in full accord with the spirit for having this cbange made at tho earliest practicable day. But we have recognized that the administration las had hnd still has a Herculean task on its hands in attempting to consummate an entire revolution in the cilice holdings in a day. Sixty eight days havo passed since the 4th of Mercbv of which ten have besn 8andaje. It was some two weeks after the inauguration before the administration could be considered in working trim. The Tcsident and his cabinet officers needed to learn their own bearings. The total num&er of efficers and employes of the Government is estimated at 120,000, To have changed all these by the present date more than 2,000 removals and appointments per day must have been made. It is ncedlee3 to say to any eane person that euch a ft-at is an absolute Impossibility. This Government has j?rown enormously tines tho last previous Democratic administration was in power. Its political machinery is immense and complicated. It is no child's play to organize intelligently a new force of foremen and operatives. What vre havo asked of our party friends and what we now ak is, Walt! Give the administration more time before decrying it. Under all the circumstances, is not this wise? THE PARTY OF SPOILS. A Democrat and a Republican, both without umbrellas, took refuge under a corner store awning from a shower yesterday, when tbey fell into a political controversy. In the wind-np the. Democrat asVed his colloluist what objection he now had against Democracy. "I object to it,M ws replied, "becausa it la a party of spot's " Is not your objection to it more because its tuccess ehuts olT your party from further epolls?" was the prompt retort. "Nowloak here, gcod neighbor," the Democrat continued, jou are a fair man in your personal and builnet8 affairs, be as honest in your discussion of this question. Could any party practice vrhat you are condemning more strongly than your party has done ince 18C5? "Can you give an Instance within the last twenty years ct Its reign ot its making a division of office with any other party, or of any offices being filled with other than known Republican part Leans? From the

White Houea and the department offices down to the most insignificant I'ostofficei, is it cot true that partisanship was requisite to preferment under Republican administration? , 'But in all these twenty years was there as much whining by Democrats to get into efhees nnder Republican administrations as there has been on tbe part of Republicans, since the 4th of March, to be permitted to remain in places under the Democratic reign? Then have not the Republicans shown a greater greed for spoils than . Deaio crata ever have?'

A QCEEit suit is reported from Cohoes, N. Y., in a special to the Chicago Tribune. It seems to be the suit of a man to recover posEe8ion of his own wife. Jesse Lord is the plaintiff and William Chapman the defendant. The former Charge that while he was lining with his wife, Marthana, as her husband, defendant contrived to live with her with intent to injure plaintiff, and enticed Marthana away from her home to a separa'e residence in Rensselaerville, and has since detained and harbored her against consant ofjthe plaintiff and in opposition to his efforts to obtain her from the defendant's custody and influence; that the2Gthof September, 1S79, and on various other occasions, the defendant and Marthana were intimate, and htr eflectiois were alienated from plaintiff and dtMrojed, causing him to suffer great disirers of body and mind, etc. Tho plaintirl ho alleges that tho parties, when they eloped, took aay with them considerable houEthcld proper1 y. . lie asked for $2,000 datD8gea and costs. The defendant est np an answer tVat the property belonged to MartbarjH. and that it was carried away at h?r request. Wei-ler who was recently connected with the murder of a grandson of Henry Clay and tenlenced to two year3 in tbe Kentucky penitentiary, was taken there yesterday. When about to enter upon his term o imprisonment he exclaimed: To:r Clay, CDuld ha arise from his grave, I am certain ho would have demanded my acquittal by the jnry that convicted me. If not, my pardon by the Governor before trial. I regret to leave ray wife and three children, but they will be here on Saturday. Iam going to bo a giod prisoner, and when I come out my mind is made up never to touch a drop of intoxicating liquor." The New York 8un says: The President is reno-ted a3 taking a peculiar view of Mr. Boyd Winchester's appointment to Switzerland at tha request of Mr. Watterson. A friend of the President indicates tbe White House idea by Baying: Of couree, that pays Watterson off and disposes of him eo far es tho President is concerned, and c'oses finally an account with the able editor, which might otberwtes have run a long time, ard be of a good l?al of bother. Of the two I gaees the President is . better pleassd then Watterson will be when he comes to think about it." Iff formation from Washington gives the cheerful intelligence that the seventeen and thirteen-year locusts havo somehow or another pooled their issues, as It were, and will make a combined assault on the fruit of the country aa soon as it appears. The visitation will be prolonged into the month of July. We will baye an opportunity of trying some locusts and wild honey. The wild honey will be not so plentlf"' locusts. THE WUITB 1I0Ü8E. Tho New Kegiine at the Executive iluusiou. Romarhablo Contrast With tho Old Manner of Doing Things. Cleveland Very Methodical, Orderly and iU galfir, Whilt) Arthur Wna Altvuy llohlod-tf and and Alwajs ltushlug. IW&AhlnKton Epccial.l The "Evening Star publishes the following reading tho systematic life of President Cleveland in the White House: Anyone who has bsen in the White House often since the 4th of last Maroh and has observed at all clceely cannot fall to have noticed how differently things are done there now from what they they were during the last administration. President Arthur was proverbially procrastinating, both inofficial and private matiors. He never made up his mind nniil tbe last minute and then he wanted everything done in a rash and the least delay worried him greatly. He couldn't decido upon an appointment until it was absolutely necessary that it should be mado. He took a great interot in all social matters connected with his office, and all his entertainments were ot tbo most hospitable and lavish character. Nothing was too good for his table. Yet in making arrangement for a dinner thobe who bad the details ia their charge were always at a Ions how or where to begin. The steward wonld learn that thnre was to be a dinner and perhai a this would be the extent of his informtioo. He would make inceatant itqulrics to learn thedav end the number of guepts, and when these two points wer fixed everything else wai plain nailing. When the dinner cam off it wonld be yeiy unfortunate if everything wai not just as it should bo IRRIfiULAR. President Arthur bad no regular business cr private hours, and this fact necessitated his tettiDg apart Mondayas his private day or oles non, as it was known about the White House. Ha retired at any hour and rose when it best suited him, often not until a'ter bfihncoD. The meals at the White House consequently very Irregular. Often the breakfast table wai kept waiting for him for four bonis. Ha nearly always had one or rvrTe gute (a at dinner, and as frequently intimste callers in tbe evening who always staid until a late hour. Juvt as likely as not a luptcr would be ordered at nearly midnight, and Chef Fortiu was constantly on the qui vlve. In the evenings Pietidet Arthur atwava ordered op wine and cigars, and particularly riessiig the latter upon his gutsts, urging thtm to take another, or tu put a couple ia

their pockets. As his c'gara were of the best imported brands, the ctgr bills were nretty steep. He neyer onjected to the table ex-penr-es of the White fiouee, however lAre. bot ho couldn't understand why his c gir bills footed up so mccb. He delighted to licgfr with his guests at the table after tbe coccluion of the me al and njoy a smofc after tbe English fashion. In this way an hour or mere was often passed. President Arthur was always rashed; he ws invariably tebindhand in keeplDg appointments, and Ihe most importaat delegations wero often kept waiting for hitu for an hoar. DIFFERENT. President Cleveland ii a very short time showed himself methodical and systematic, toth officially and privately. He has soarrapped his time and his affdirs that tber is no cla hing. He has his houia.for worxing and when they are over be stops work. iu this way be is enabled to Keep nis appointments promptly and to k-cp himself in g vjd worklrjg condition. Ho rises at a reasonably early hour, and ia always ready for breakfast, which Is fixed for ! o'clock. He has never missed his morning's meal, nor bean Jate to it since ho ha oeen in thä White House, and he expects tie saroe punctuality fiom thoss who sit at ire table with him. Almost immediately afterward he is ready to bfgin tha businesj of the day, and after attending to important letters er other matters which are brought to nis attention ho begins to receive callers. Before 1 o'clock he hai his rooms pretty well cleared, having disposed of visitors. This is about the ncur when his predecessor began re-jelviig callers. President Cleveland then gaes dowrPetal'S and gives an audfence to the general visitor who may be waiting in the east room. At l:'ö) o clock lurch is eervtd, and no one i3 nf erÄuiü odmitted to his presence except by fptcial appointment. Thus he has t me at his disr cial to tee special delegation c to hnt himttlf in nia office for the consideration of important matters requiring his vlei.tun ard to take his customary atternoon drive. Dinner is served promptly at 7 o'clock, fhe evenings are devoted ti the re luxation of couverf&tlon or to cocsideritton of business, jast as it bappers. Tbe above is the regular dally routine at the White House, and from it thre la no deviation. As a consequence, everybody connected with the houwa knows ynt wh.t to do and when to da it. IX GOOD HEALTH. Tbe President himself has been ab!e-to stand tbe Etrain upon hlrn for the pat few months remarkably well. He is looking in fine condition and ssems perfectly well. Since he has been an cccapant of the White he hae not been sick once, and has not evo.i teen a heavy" day. He expend lots of steam, but he keeps a good lire under tha boiler. He is a good, etrong eater; is fond of a good table, and hi3 digestion is parfect. Preeident Cleveland is fond of inviting an intimate personal friend or a Cabinet officer to stay to dinner with httc, hut as yet he ha3 rot given either a state or a private dinner party, and probably will not until next season. Wine is served at the table, and the President enjoys it in moderation. As soon as ihe meal is concluded, the table is deserted, and the President with his ?uest, if thf re hapceca to be one present, ces up-Etaira to enjoy an after-dinner saioie in prif ate. The Pe3fdent likes a cUar, bcit he is a light smoker, and no oneabontthe house hai yet seen htm with a cigar ia his mouth during the day. His Cigars, like President Arihur's, are all imported, but they kst logger. ACCESSIBLE. It is comparatively easy to secure an audience wnh President Cieveiand. He is wining to give tverybody a chance. All who approach him are pleased with the cordiality and esse of manner with which they are received. He is always ready to listen to what is said to him, particularly with reference to tbe aflairs cf the house, and this is pleasant to the employes. A great deal of credit for this systematizing of affairs at the While House is dae to Colonel Lamont, his Private Secretary, who worked himsell sick In a couple of months. It was only a few days ago that he a;aiu trade his appearance at his office desk, looking 8cm8what pale. His ways are the President's ways, and the two understand each other perfectly. Before Colonel Lamont was taken sick those about him had learned his ways and methods, so that when he was no longer fitforduty, they knew how he wanted things done, and that way suited tho President, 80 that everything ran smoothly. THE EL frV O'OIOCK LAW. The Supreme Court Holds That It U Constitutional.

The cae of C. O. Heddnch, appealed from the Criminal Cjurt, was decided by the full Bench of the Saprome Court yesterday. Heddrich was arrested and convicted of selling liqocrs sfter 11 o'clock, and was fiotd 70 and ten days in jail. Ho appealed to the 8opreme Court, and. tbe Court has decided that the law nnder which he was convicted is constitutional, and therefore his sentencs Is legal. The point made in the appeal was that tbe Legislature transcended its powers, because such a law encroaches upon the natural rights of the citizen. Judge Klliott delivered the opinion and tbe remaining Jodges concurred. After referring to the point made in the appeal, tho Court says: "This argument finds no support from authority and has none in principle Whether tho statute is or is not a reapcnable one is a legislative and uot a judicial qccation, and whether a statute d jes or does not unjustly deprive the citizens of natural rigbla ia a quoitlon for the Legislates and not the courts, for there ta no certain standard for determining what are or whot are not tho natural rights of tha citizen." Tbe decision farther covers the following points: (1) It is clear in our mind j, both upon reafon una authority, that the statute is a valid cxercisA of the police powers vestfd in the Leg'slatnie. (2) The title of the act is sufficiently comprehensive to include all offenses of a public nature. (.) The contention that the clause of tho law .bf tween the hours of 11 o'clock p. m. and 5 o'clcca: a. m.," refers only to Sundays, holidays nd election dftje, can not be maintained. (4) What the atatut prohibits under tbe penalty of fine and imprissnment is unlawful. Ex Governor Garcelcn, of Maine, In the City. Dr. Alonzo Garcelon, wife and daughter, of Maine, visited Dr. C. C Burgess and family at their home, 162 North Pennsylvania street, last Monday. Dr. Garcebn is an emineat physician and a prominent and successful politician, as he now wears th title of ex Governor of Maine. He was on his way home to Maine, having been with his family to New Orleans to visit tbe expedition and at'ead the convention ox the National Medical Aseocifttion, a body which he has not failed to meet with for a cood many year. The ex Governor and family were obliged to cat short their visit here owing to the fact that their passes would expire Inafewdajs, giving them only time t) reech Maine. Dr. Garcelon and ßenator Frje, of the earue State, are brothers in-law.

OLD SCHOOL PHYSICIANS. Commencement of the Thirty-Fifth annual MeetingReports and Dldcu9lona.

The thirty-fifth annual betsion of the Indiana State Medical Society convened yesterday morning at Plymouth Church, about 10) delegates being In at'eudance. Bsv.

Dr. Allison Maxwell, Chairman of tho Committee on Publication, reported that 1 400 copies cf the transactions of the lajst meeting had bf en printed, at a cost of $711 i0, and distributed among the various members, medical journals, various societies and public libraries. Dr. G. W. H. Kemper, of Marion, the Treasurer, reported receipt for th yeir $1 215 X and disburfemeuts ct" 1,191.73, leaviLg a balance of $51 17. The firs: pap r read was by Dr. V) c. Bryan, city, cn "The Human Panc-eas ' which was variously dhcused and icferred to the Committee on Pablfcition. Dr. Rnsrgle, of Stockton, Cal., was introduced to the aociety and briedy returned thanks, after whic he was formally invited to attend ths meetings. Dr. It A. Woods, of Seymour, read a pper on "Should Consultation be Eocoureged or Discouraged," arguing in favor of consultation, and various gentlemen discussed it. At tbe afternoon session Drs. William Lomcx, of Marion; J D Stiltson and E. A. Hcdley, of this citv; W'üson Hobbi. of Kniglmtowu, and W. B. Ryan, of Willow Biancb, read papers on various subjects, which wero referred. At the eveaiug gession Dr. Wocdburn read his annual address, bis subject being "Gave We Really Increased in Knowledge and Improved in Pactics? ' The subject was discussed at tome length, a number of the delegates taking part in th di$auion. The oocisty will meet at O o'clcck this morning. AXIUfcfcHENL'S. THEODORE TIIOMAS. The concert giyen by Theodore Thomas and his magnificent orchestra at the English Opera House last evening was a musical event which haa been looked forward to with a large measure of interest by the lovers of song of this city, and the realization more than justified tha bright anticipations which the event had etcited. The capacious building was seated in ail its parts, and the audience consisted of many besides the ordinary amusementgeers of tho city. The company as a whole possesses a messare of talent rarely fouid groupf d together, end the entertainment, in consequence, :s to full of meritorious features that the auditor finds it impossible to specify any particular part as more worthy of ctmmerdition than another. As the notes from ths orchestra of sixty pieces, every chord in perfect harmony, fait upon the ear of the listener he can appreciate the full force of their touching sweetness, but language fails when he attempts to convey these varying impressions and emotion) to others. The critic, schooled to fault-finding, lceea his identity in contemplating the heavenly unison cf the strains, now fast, now alow, and ever and anon rising from the aweet, mellow cadence to the fall power of music's melody and filling the yast bailding with one continuous but ever-changing sympbonv. In the rendition of "The Hunter's Bride" MI sä Hattie Clappor received much well merited applause and proved hereolf indeed a "sweet singer." She possesses an exquisitely musical voice and sings with a rU'pth of feeling that enlists the attention of her auditor and inspires him with tbe n otions which she herself appears to feel. With a voice naturally rich and musical, she gives evidence of having been perfectly trained in its management, and there Tare capable, as she certainly is, of producing the mcst marked effect. Msdam Forch-Madi delighted the audience with a selection from Froischutz entitled "S:ena and Aria." Her tone is rail and clear, but still feminine in richnes, aud Its intonation so perfect that every note can be distinctly distinguished without eQort. Her manner la impressive and pleasing, and that which she feels or affects to feel tbe audlenre ia made to experience in its fallen 6ene. She certainly possesses ahlghordr of talent and will be a most welcome visitor to Indiana's capital. The continued applause brought her upon the staxa three separate times, on each of which she acknowledged tho compliment with a how, bat the audience refuted to accept this for a eong. and on her fourth return they wera gratified. Mr. Winch is a tenor singer of rauch real merit, and his rendttiou of "Barcarolle" wai received with great applause and made tru occasion of favraDle comment. Like tho other ruembris cf the company be hai a rich voice, and he improved by assiduous training the fcift v ith which nature bano richly endowed Moj, MRsJncband Mr. Heinrich appeared together iu the reiiditiuu of tho "Flying Dutchman," and the piece .wai excellently executed in ail its parts, Mis Jncti wm soan Vfry popular with tbe aadlence, aud br petrK manners and upetb voce c..moineri to p'ftce rir second to none In their etem Mr. Heinrich was no lejs w'l re. ceive , aul Ms Ann baritone voice attracted mucN uvorallQ cumraent. r "USCLK 70M 8 CABIN" AT.TIIS GRAND.
