JOHN T. M’CUTCHEON ENGAGED

Famous Cartoonist To Be Married Before Christmas. The announcement of the engagement of John Tinney McCutcheon, the famous Chicago Tribune .cartoonist, and Miss Evelyn Shaw, daughter of Howard Shaw of Ragsdale, Lake Forest, comes with much surprise to Mr. McCutcheon’s many friends in Indiana. It is said that the wedding will take place this winter, some time before Christmas. Mr. McCutcheon was born and reared in Tippecanoe county, and is a graduate of Purdue university. Following so closely upon his purchase of Salt Cay, an island of the Bahamas, also called Treasure island the events are allied, and further en hanced by Mr. McCutcheon’s intention to make his first visit to the island on his honeymoon journey. Mr. McCutcheon, who has long been listed in the hard and fast Freemasonry of bachelorhood, mentioned his engagement in connection with his account of the purchase of Salt Cay.

“I didn’t purchase the island because of my engagement,’’ he said, “although that also was a contributing reason. I have never been on the island. Mv first visit to it will be during the honeymoon; which we plan to spend there.” Mr. McCutcheon declared that the date for the Wedding has not been set, but he said it would take place some time this winter—probably before Chistmas.

PARADE OF COUNTIES FRIDAY

Centennial Celebration at Indianapolis On This Week. The centennial celebration at Indianapolis is in full swing this w r eek. Elaborate preparations have been made and the affair promises to be a grand success. One of the features of the celebration will be the “Parade of Counties” next Friday, October 6. Each county is expected to prepare as many floats representing that county as possible and also send a delegation to participate in the parade. Committees were appointed in each county to make arrangements for this event.

The Democrat is in receipt of a letter from J. M. Milner of Indianapolis, a former resident of Jasper county, who is chairman of the committee of former residents of Jasper county, and among other things he says:

“I am the chairman of the committee of former residents of Jasper county, and was indeed very much surprised to learn that Jasper county had made absolutely no effort to have a celebration of its own, as other counties are doing, and then send a delegation to represent the county in a great parade to be given here on the date as mentioned above. “I am reliably informed that Jasper county will have no centennial celebration, because of the fact that those who were asked to take charge in your county have not done what they were asked to do, and they are still ‘asleep at the sw-itch.’

‘‘As a former resident of Jasper county, I wish through your columns to voice my protest and disapproval (and in 30 doing I speak for all former residents) of the way the parties in charge handled or rather did not handle the affair.

‘‘Jasper county certainly ought to have enough pride and patriotism

within its borders to keep up with what other counties are doing. There are no reasons or valid excuses for old Jasper not celebrating, and it looks very much like someone is lacking in public spirit. “I will be pleased to meet all from the county who will come prepared to take some part in the ‘Parade of Counties’ to be held here on October 6, which is Friday, at 10 o’clock a. m. @ “lf I am in error regarding this matter I stand ready to be corrected.”

The efficiency and economy of the steamship Mjolner, in which turbo-electric propulsion is adopted, were recently commented on by the Motor Ship. The main machinery consists of two double-flow turbines, each driving a 400-k. w. generator and delivering power to a single motor, which drives the propeller shaft through reduction gearing at 90 revolutions a minute. It is reported in the Electrician that there are about twenty or twenty-five steamboats under construction in which similar machinery is to be used mostly of a low-powered type, usually of about 1,000 horsepower.
