THURSDAY. JUNE 18, 1889,

Trk venerable Judge Thurman takes great comfort in smoking. The cigars he prefers are large and strong. |

A sYNDICATE of Philadelphia capitalists has purchased the graphophone rights for all countries outside of the United States and Canada, for $500,000.

THE YEARLY SALES of Phil Armour’s great packing house in Chicago now amount on an average to $55,000,000. They have at times reached as high as $60,000,000 a year. . o

Sir JULIAN PAUNCEFOOT, the new English minister at Washington; is a magnificent specimen of physical manhood.. He stands oyer six feet in height and looks more like a professional athlete than a diplomat. *

* SULLIVAN is an ancient and heretofore honored name, but with John E. of Boston, the huckster: defaulter Sullivan, of Indiahapolis-Canada; the_ ice dealer Sullivan indicted and lawyer Sullivan under suspicion for parficipating in the murder of Dr. Cronim, at Chicago, the name seems to be getting somewhat off color. = . Tar. New Albany Ledgér administers a well deserved rebuke to the Indianapolis Sentinel for its presumption and dictatorial treatment of Democrats who claim the right to do their own thinking in regard to the tanff, and decline to accept the free trade notions of certain noisy theorists. The Ledger doesn’t propose to be muzzled. .= GENERAL Tmomas EwING told the graduating law class of the University of New York to “‘be like Roscoe Conkling—too proud to do a mean thing.” This is about as high a compliment as could be paid a man who was in public life as long as the chivalrous states‘man of New York—especially:- when coming from one who was politically opposed to him. i :

" SoME of the cities and towns of Indiana have already begun preparations for the celebration of the 4th of July. The coming Fourth has: centennial memories attached ‘to it, it being the one hundredth since we were really a nation. There ought to be a rousing celebration in every town of any size, this year. The spirit of" patriotism ought to be kept alive. e

Tue Detroit Free Press-says it ‘‘has no special admiration for Gov. Hill, but it is simply justice to say that he dealt fairly and frankly with the Saxton bill.”” There is no doubt about the governor having given very strong reasons for vetoing the alleged ‘‘ballot reform bill.”’ It was full 6f defective and objectionable provisions, and seems to have been passed more for the purpose of ‘‘putting the governor in a hole”’ than anything else. =~ New York legislators are abad lot. -~ ,

WHEN THE SCHEME to adopt new rules placing the minority - entirely in the hands of the majority, and the additional republican plan. of placing 'the elections in the states in the hands of the federal authorities are sprung at the next session of congress, the New Albany Ledger says, sengible Democrats will have reason to rejoice that Samuel J. Randall was not ‘‘read out” of the "party by the whipper-snapper hobby riders who jumped into the saddle last fall. i e ;

“Pur Yourself in His Place,” & nowerful story by Charles Reade, had a wide circle of readers some years ago. Its argument was against strikes and it made a strong one. The most graphic chapter in the story, a piece of word painting rarely equalled, was a description of a flood caused by the bursting of a dam and the wreck of a town, the seat of a large manufacturing establishment. It was considered an extravagant piece of imagination and severely criticised at the time of the appearance of the book. That it was not overdrawn, Bro. Applegate says, is shown by the recent similar scene at Johnstown, where the old saying that “truth is stranger than fiction,” was so fully and frightfully verified. =

THE BANNER takes pleasure 1n transferring to its columns the following timely observations by the -Michigan City Dispatch: ‘“There are some people in this world who delight to say mean ' things about their neighbors. = The mail this morning brought us an anonymous communication, giving us the details of a scandal in our little city, swhere a married man was making himself quite familiar with a young lady in good standing. The writer was too. cowardly to sign his name to his communication, hence it was consigned to the waste basket, torn into bits. It would never have gone into the col-'f - umns of the Dispatch, even if the writer wag responsible and had signed his name toit, The intention of this management is to make a clean family newspaper, and nothing shall go in its’ columns not appropriate for family reading. Dirty scandals are not appro~priate reading for young people, and - should not be placed before them by the local paper. It is true, however, - that some people are constantly Jooking for something of alow and vicious ehafacter, or wanting o read personal sll suoh readrs of tho Dispatch will be disappointed. s ’%fi“”fi%

~ ONE of the most singular cases lately brought to the attention of the public is that of a young clergymannamed Sehorr, who committed suicide in the city of Baltimore a short time since. In a communication to the New York World, sent jast before he took his life, he charged that a puddle-aged widow named Smith, a lady of blameless character, had infatuated and then refused to marry him. Therefore he publicly arraigned her and then shot out his diseased brains. * For diseased, it now appears, the man’s mind must haye been. Mrs. Smith, who appearsl to have been most unfairly treated, ‘admits that she conceived a liking for the youth—he ‘was but twenty-three—-but affirms that marriage was out of the question, for she isa woman of forty, and Schorr, to her, appeared merely as a boy. Furthermore it seems that Schorr did not confine his attentions to Mrs. Smith. He appears to have been exquisitely sensitive to female allurements, and made love to eyery woman who would ‘consent to listen to him. The singular part of the story is that in going out of the world he should have sought, in the cowardly way he did, to smirch the reputation of an estimable woman. In doing that, he showed himself to be a dangerous man. So, perhaps, the best service he ever performed for the public was when he put a pistol to his head A

RELIEF IS NECESSARY

. Gen. Benjamin Harrison entered the presidential office in fine physical condition, but the short period of three months in the White House has so drawn upon his vital powers that he feels the necessity of every now and then seeking rest by tearing himself 'away from the cares of his high office. An ex-cabinet officer recently said to a newspaper representative:. ‘“The president does not seem to be looking very well. He evidently needsrest. He has the appearance of-a man who is thoroughly tired. He, necessarily, must be so. The American people put too much strain on their presidents. ' The work ought to be delegated, and the time is

near at hand when it will have to be.” The ex-cabinet office who spoke thas is doubtless correct in saying that too

much strain is put upon the president under existing usage. The unseemly scramble that is witnessed in Washington at the incoming of an administration is not creditable to an intelligent people. The heads of the administration are forced to devote nearly all their time for months to filling the offices, and in such a state of affairs the publie interestfor the health of government officers is bound to suffer. Gen. Artbur-went into the executive office a picture of physical manhood, and came out broken in body. Secretaries Folger and Manning were killed by the exactions of their great office, and a few months in private life are said to have wonderfully improved even a man of such phlegmatic constitution as Grover Cleveland. : .

The cares of the presidency in any ievent must be heavy and wearing, and ‘therefore any reasonable device that will alleviate the burden which the chief magistrate assumes when he goes into offiee, should be adopted. It is obvious that the presidency should be something more than a tribunal for determining rival claims to office, but as things are now, the most urgent work the president is called upon to perform is to distribute the patronage. Until that is done, everything waits. The national capital is inyested by a “hungry and thirsty”’ army; the lives of department chiefs are made miserable; the wheels of goyernment are checked and general demoralization is caused. - Only robust men like Hayes and Cleveland long survive the‘expira-i tion of their terms in the presidential office, but until a few more presidentsl and great cabinet officers are killed, no change is likely to be made. :

i Compiimentary. The following resolutions were passed at the M. E. chkurch Sundayschool, Sunday, June 9: b WHEREAS, One of our Sunday scheol teachers, Mrs. Alla Clark, is about to leave our town and thereby sever her connection with our school ; and, WHEREAS, She having been one of our most punctual, faithful and earnest teachers, therefore - : Resolyed, That we hereby express our most sincere sorrow and regret that.circumstances cause her removal from our midst. : : Resolved, That we do most highly appreciate her laborsin our school and will always cherish the most pleasant remembrance.of her as a sincere and steadfast friend. : - - Resolved, That if at any time in the future she should return to make our town her home we will gladly welcome her return. ° o 5 G

Too Premature.

J. L. Ohlwine, who has been at college at Ann Ann Arbor, Mich., for some time, was in .town on Tuesday and gave us a pleasant call.—Albion New Era, June 6. i The above item" appears to have got into type prematurely. Mr. Ohlwine was not a candidate when it was printed; he was county superintendenteleet. Perhaps the New Era counted on his defeat. It looks that way; and certainly such a supposition does no diseredit to that paper’s good judgment. But the county seat papers cannot be too particular about matters of this kind. They are looked up to as aso of official oracles. i ee R T _ At fhe home of Mr. Russell, ono mile west of Brimfield, June 6, 1889, Mrs. Julia Ann Lindsey; aged 67 years. - The funeral was held from Brimfield chureh. ‘nd the interment took place SR LG TG s T s RRO

Additional Local.

—Avyilla will celebrate the Fourth of July in grand style. —Summer may get here yet before the katy-dids begin to warble. ' —Miss Mollie Wolf will open her select school next Monday, June 17.

—The Northern lndiana Editorial Association will be in session at Kendallville to-day and to-morrow, June 13th and 14th. ‘ ‘ —Trimmed hats for children at half price, ‘and all goods at cost for the next two weeks. Must reduce stock before moving. Mgs. C. R. GRAVES. —Schlictenmyer, a Kendallville saloon keeper, was tried before a jury in the circuit court on Thursday last, for violation of the liquor law in selling intoxicants to minors, and fined $75. —There was an error in Dr. Fruth’s advertisement, as it appeared in THE BANNER last week. Hisdate for being in Ligonier should have been giyen as June 18, insterd of May 31st. Read his advertisement on last page. ~ —The county commissioners have made an order that hereafter all who ‘have or may hereafter beeome permanent county charges shall be cared for at the county infirmary, and jonly such as require temporary aid given relief at their homes. :

—The well-known gallantry of Dr. Parker, of the Kendallville News, appears to be occasionally put to a seyvere. test. In the last issue of the News he says: “‘Stuffed impudence was amplified in the News office yesterday, by two girls who were obtaining signatures to photograph orders.” —The latest fad and the really proper way to serve strawberries, says an exchange, is with the stems on. A small saucer should have a little powdered sugar poured into it, and on the other side the choicest berries obtainable should be heaped up. Each berry is taken up by the stem, dipped into the sugar and eaten from the fingers.

—Rest easy! the democratic members of the town board will settle the matter as to who will succeed the editor of the Leader upon the school board. A man will be elected who will act for the bestinterests of the schools, who has no ax to grind, either political or in any other sonse, and who will be satisfactory to at least a majority of the people of the community.

—The saloon license in Mishawaka has been increased to $l5O, and the saloon keepers of that thriving town, in consequence thetreof, give notice to their patrons, by printed placards, that. no more s:cent whiskey nor free lunches will be dispensed by them. And now the hard-up Mishawaka toper will have to travel to South Bend to appease his hunger and thirst. —ln the case of Stephen Bennett, indicted for a deadly assault on William Gawthrop, .by stabbing him with a pocket-knife, while both were returning home in a wagon from .Columbia City, a jury m the circuit court last week, acquitted Bennett. The fracas was simply a drunken row, it was doubtful who the aggressor was, and the jury gave Bennett the benefit of the doubt. —The Old Settlers met at Albion last Thursday and had an interesting time. Brief biographical sketches of the old pioneers who have dropped off during the past vear were read by Hon. Nelson Prentiss. . Hon. A. F. Wilden, of (Goshen, was the orator of the day, and his address was an able, eloquent and interesting one. The following named gentlemen were chosen officers of the association for the ensuing year: President—Dr. Norman Teal, Kendallville; Secretary—Merritt C. Skinner, Albion; Biographer—Hon. Nelson Prentiss, Albion. : B

—A few days ago a villainous attempt was made to wreck the limited train on the Lake Shore road at Swanton, Ohio. The perpetrators—three respectable farmer’s sons—have been arrested by a Toledo detective, and locked up. Last week another attempt to wreck a train was made between Goshen and Millersburg. The rails were spiked at a joint and besides a large pile of stones:and timber were placed on the track. It was discovered by section men shortly before fast * train 5 was due. The work was performed in broad daylight. —The editor of the Steuben Republican must have beentaking a promenade around this town Jately, which accounts for his talking in this strain: ““People going along the sidewalks of a town are supposed to have other employment for thougzhts and eyes than to be. constantly watching for holes, loose ends of planks and pieces nailed on to cover up holes, that might give one a broken leg or an untimely fall. There is no good in.laws unless they are enforced. We: call upon those whose business it is to attend to it, to see that bad sidewalks are repaired.””

—We called at the Ligonier mills yesterday and while there had the pleasure of making the acquaintence of Mr. J. K. Howie, the new head miller, who took charge of the mills Monday last. Mr. Howie comes highly recommended as a thorough, practical wmiller, having been connected with some of the best mills in the country — in Minneapolis, Minn., Bloomington, 111., and lastly at Detroit, Mich. 'The Ligonier Milling Co. are working up an enviable reputation for their product and their whole aim is to get the best possible results. They propose to pay considerable more attention to the local trade than heretofore and extend their line of trade into locations not now reached. f ’

What Stupid Nonsense!

It is not expected that THE BANNER will have any favorable criticism to make upon the Latin valedictory delivered by Miss Anna Blunt at the Commencement exercises. For a few years the word Latin has grated harshly upon their ears, and of course a Latin address upon such an occasion would seem to them entirely out of place. Never having witness (sic) anything of the kind here before they eannot be in harmony with the new order of things. The audience, however, though unable to understand the language, appreciated and enjoved the Latin, and many have been the favorable comments. It is shown t#@t the Latin so recently added to the course in our schools is not a farce but a reality, and is taught just the same ag it is taught in colleges and elsewhere.—Leader.

} Here is richness for you! as the sa‘pient Mr. Squeers was wont to remark. ‘How an audience could ‘‘appreciate and enjoy’’ a language they did not understand—except in the case of an opera—will puzzle any less as-tute linguist than the editor of the Leader. Latin is a dcad language, and there is nothing very surprising in the editor of the Leader ‘“enjoying” it.. His knowledge of it is about on a par with his knowledge of English, which he tries to convert into a dead language every week of his life, by mereilessly murdering it, and he could not resist the temptation even in the above paragraph of giving it a few stabs. That Latin is taught in our High School ‘just as it is taught elsewhere’ is a bit of information that can secarcely fail to be highly relished by a benighted public. :

Bchool Fund Loans.

Wbhen loans of school funds are fipplied for the law requires that the lands upon whiech mortgages are to be placed to secure the loan must be first appraised by persons appointed by the commissioners, and in view of this fact each of the county board at the June term appointed three appraisers for that purpose.
