THE BASE BALL TOURNAilENT Has Been Postponed Until August 32t! and 23d. In last Friday's issuo wo announced the prospects for a base ball tournament at the Fair grounds about the 30th and 31st of the present month. Such arrangements had been made by our club management, but, owing to the date made by the Wild West show next week, and the close proximity of the Humum A: llaily circus, it was thought advisable to postpone the tournament until next month. The management here went to a a, deal of trouble to make this one of the greatest gatherings of the kind ever held in the state. Thev have corresponded with a number of clubs, and have received favorable answers . from a great number. The date for this event is the Aug. 22d ami 23d, and probably will include the 21st. The desire of the management is to devote one day to the clubs of Marshall county alone," but to do this successfully necessitates the co-operation of the business men of our city. In a two days' tournament the club lias arranged to give purses amounting to Sino, besides the cost of the balls, which will amount to .10. If the event continues three days, it will be necessary for the home elub to raise at least 23) to devote to prizes and furnish balls. The Plymouth ball club desires the business men to furnish the necessary means to pay the actual expenses connected with this three days' sport, such as paying the board of the visiting teams while here, preparing the ground, which, after the Jtarnum show, will be in a bad condition, and paying the necessary advertising bills which will accrue in properly presenting matter in adjoining towns. This, we are informed will amount to near j?300. We have taken upon ourselves the responsibility of appealing to the business men of our city, to make this meet a grand success. Such an event has never taken place in our state, and, with the reputation our city has previously held in the way of entertaining visiting guests, there is not the slightest doubt they will give, our boys this encouragement. Outside of the amount of money necessary to conduct this notable event in a proper manner, the returns received in the large gathering from not only all portions of this state, but Chicago and other points, will more than repay the money contributed. We hope our merchants will give our ball club this encouragement by contributing liberally toward this, one of the greatest events that has ever taken place in base ball circles in the state of Indiana. A Suggestion. Ki. Indkcfndfxt: In looking over the columns of your valuable paper I notice that you advocate the purchase of land in the city for a public park. Now, that is a good idea; and I would advise you to stick to the text. As you are, to put it modestly, not posted as to the various plats that could be had for that purpose, I would suggest that you use your pencil in describing the Hoham grove, on South street, and the Packard grove, near the corporation line, west on Harrison street. The latter has a large growth of timber, which would take from thirty-live to forty years to get on the ground on South Michigan street that . you refer to in your issue of the 12th. X

TiHLy in The Circus. ( i.anh'ng little Trilby, the pretty lieroifu of Manner's, that has set half the world longing to know her as fihe was pictured by the novelist, is now to be seen in the circus. I'arnum N; Uailey, with the up to -da;e ideas of the only progressive showmen m the country, have reproduced tin- exouisi'n little lady and placed her on horseback, making one of the most chic and delightful equestrian acts ever conceived. Concurrently with this are two more novel, chaste and elegant riding acts, which are nothing less than the famous Skirt dance and well known Serpentine dance, all three of which equestrian acts are given at once. And there are other acts equally as wonderful which arc performed by other ladies and gentlemen riders: in fact twelve champion riders appear at various times during the exhibition, all of whom do novel and daring feats. The grand Water carnival is still another great feature, and contains all kinds of aquatic exhibition, for which purpose one of the four rings is filled with water to a depth of live feet. A thrilling and perilous head-foremost live is made from the roof of the canvas into this poo! oIake,and the wonder is great al each performancethatthe tlaring diver is not in

stantly killed. Inhibitions of champion log rolling, fancy swimming, several subaqueous acts and many comic episodes are engaged in. upon and under the water, so that the aquatic entertainment is one of a grand character. Twenty-four elephants are in the menagerie, with fifty cages of wild -beasts and the giantess gorilla, .Johanna. The ethnological congress of strange and savage people contains representatives of nearly every kind of human being known to exist, some of whom, like the dwarf Cottas, have existed as a separate race since the days of Ftolomy. It is a grand and glorious exhibition, and will come here on sixty-four railroad cars, with UK horses, twenty four elephants, twenty-six tents, live advertising cars and a stupendous advance corps, and will exhibit its thousand features in three rings, two elevated stages, a water ring, animal arenea and hippodrome race track -or what is equivalent to eight rings. The big parade will take place en the morning of August T, the date fixed for exhibition in this city. Give Us the News. While the conductingof a daily newspaper is laborious, yet it is made a great deal more so when attempting to compile all the happenings of our community. Those.who, by a little effort, could give us important information regarding affairs that might seem insignificant to them, but to the general public would be of great interest, would confer a favor on the publishers by so doing. We hope our readers will assist us along this line, and helpmakethe 1nm:i i:mf.nt a needed adjunct to every liome. llemember, if we omit to menti r. meetings of societies, sociables, church gatherings, concerts, etc.. it is not altogether our fault. We endeavor to gather all the news we can, but we cannot know what you know unless you let us know--don't you know. We ought to know more than we do know, but Hod knows we can't under the circumstances. Xow, if there is anything going on in your particular society that you would like to have reported, write it up you can write or tell us the facts, and we will do your thinking in that direction for you. Just so with the news. A Peculiar People. The city council of 1 Jochester refused to grant the Plymouth Telephone company a franchise to put in a telephone plant, with charges of S21 per year rent for business houses and sis for residences, claiming that this rental was too high, and for the further reason that they desired connection with other parts of the world besides Argos, Plymouth, Premen and Mackenkuckee.--Argos Ketlector. The above gives a faint conception of what some people actually know about telephone service. What in the world do the people of 1 lochest er want ? Don't they want to be connected by phone service with such villages as Chicago V Well, if they do, they should hook on to the Plymouth service; for we are reaching out toward the city of Chicago, and if telephone service ever comes out of the city eastward it will make Plymouth one of its objective points. Wild Lettuce. "The people of Delaware county are taking vigorous measures to destroy the wild lettuce plant, and the commissioners have issued an order compelling its destruction wherever found. It is considered one of the most troublesome weeds that farmers have to contend with." Monticello Democrat. The Indiickndfxt several weeks ago called the attention of its readers to this dangerous plant, giving information of its rapid spread, and of its location on a number of farms in our immediate vicinity. Since that time, and no later than last week, we were informed that this same dangerous plant was to be found in numerous places inside the city limits of Plymouth. We desire to call the attention of the citizens, not only of Plymouth, but the surrounding country to this plant, which in some respects is a great deal harder to eradicate than the Canada thistle. Farmers especially should give this iest close attention.

The l air. According to the ensus of is;.i . Mm -shall county had at that time a popula

tion of 23ci. In loiiiid numbers we t mav sav lhat Marshall onintv has 2".n;o inhabitants. Plunouth. tue county ! s'cit. is vi!hn: jiMir ir I;vp tniirs ni its i geographical center, wi: !i excellent rail- ! wav facilities bv w Inch it can l.e reached I from al! parts of the county. It. there- ! fore, has every natural adanta.'.c f" r ; the local io-j of o;ie ;;rst-e!ass county ! fair, which, i: all the adyaniaires in ils i iavor arc utilised, can be made highly j creditable to the whole people of Marshall county. j The present fair grounds a this point ! arc biautifuüy situated. Water and ; shade are plentiful. The race track. I with some improvements, can be made sec -ond to no one-half mile t r ick ;n this ! section. The mam exhibition building, the grand and band stands and the new bam. with sixteen bos!aiiseail:twelve feet square, are in every way creditable strm tures. Hut, with four fairs in the county, it is not expected that any one can ever realize the success which would be certain if the interests oi the various lair associat ions ot t hecouni were con solidated and centralized. Insuch con j sojidatioii there is an opportunity be ion 'us tiie people of this county to or gunize and maintain an annual county fair which will be second to none in the state. As it is now exhibitors, to l.e in any W'ay assured of having their goods exhibited to the people of all sect ions of the count v, must make entries at tour places to lourd liferent fair associations, and must arrange four separate displays at different times. To them it is a great deal of trouble and many desirable exhibitors are haned from one or mort and some from ail the lairs now being conducted in this county. The result is thai none of the present fairs can give as much satisfactionto the people or render as much service to the county as might be done if ail wer' consolidated in -ne grand exhibition of the county's industries, products and resources at the county seat, which would be liberally enhanced in value and einbellisheil, by products of mechanical industries and the arts by exhibitors from a listauce. Spicy Sparklers. Platterv is food totheavarice of fools. A man's best friend is a fat pocket - boi k. Time is the surgeon who sets brokenhearts. Noble women often do gn at deeds in humbleness. .V woman never loses faith in a man who treats her well. Jlegin slow; it is the pace at the end of the race that wins. There is a vast lilVerem-e between fust iaysand fast nights. Pleasure is very often merely a mask of pain; happiness never is. A man thinks he knows it all, until a woman begins to enlighten him. The meanest man is the one who lets himself be bougat at a low price. The ideal husband and the ideal wife are purely creations of the brain. You cannot tell by the size of a man's haml what kind d' a heart he has. (Joifs bank can stand cny run. Its assests will exceed its liabilites. A woman isa bride as long as her husband takes her along to a show. It is a, pity that a man cannot ea: food advice;he gets so much d" it free. Pulling in love is as hur I on the system as having a long spell of sickness, 1 letter adinnerof herbs where love is than a stalled ox and hatred then with. The only kiiul of misery that loves company is the kind we bring on ourselves. It is easier to wish than to work, and there's I'ss m lt.and more people doing it. A Narrow Escap'. On Tuesday forenoon about b o'clock, while Mrs. Charles Neal was cooking on her gasoline stove the Maze was blown out by a gust id" wind. Mrs. Neal was in another part d" the house at the time, but Sam Cowan w ho was fixing a door in th" back part of the house smelletl the odor of escaping gasoline, and going to the stove turned off the burner and called Mrs. Neal. She wiped the gasoline from th top of the stove and re-lighted it, not noticing that the gasoline had leaked all over the bottom of the stove. A Hume immediately shot up as high as the ceiling and the stove was soon all ablaze and the room filled with smoke and lire. Mr. Cowan ruslud to the stove, threw it ut doors and called for something to smother the lire. A carpet was found anil he soon had the lire out, but not until lis had been burned severely about the face and hands, bis clothing also taking tire three r four times. The walls and woodwork of the room were badly scourched. Walkerton Independent. Leg Cut. Prank Miller, a carpenter at work on the Corbin building while working with a draw knife this morning received quite a severe cut just below the knee. He was not able to resume his work. Wild cherry Phosphate, a perfect nerve tonic at the La Porte street Uakery. A twenty-live cent bottle for fifteen cents.

HENRY CLAY.

Gen. YVaile Hampton .Memory ttf Him as an Intix'c:it WhUt l'layt-r "Ono of my boyhood recollections," said Con. Wade Hampton, "refers to j Henry Clay. Ho was it fivqutnt visitor ! at my father's house in South Carolina. ! Both Clay and my father were ardent J whist players, and nothing was more ; to their mine's than the collection of a brace of Ktntlemen equally addicted to whist, and then the (paartet would play for hours. While the name of whist may serve to imply a gaine where silence reigned, my father and Clay didn't play whist that way. They exulted audibly over a sucee.;?, and did not hesitate when they were playing as partners to violently point out mistakes the other had made, and attributed defeat to the other s ignorance and utter lack of natural iritt Iliuence. Indeed, on occasions particularly trying they wort even known to apply hard names to one another. This they did in no slan-.erous spirit, but to brighten up and sharpen the wits of the other to the improvement of his play. As they were sitting down to a game as partners ono evening Clay remarked: " 'It's a great outrage the w, we talk to each other, and my Idea now, at the outset, is for eaeli 1 us to put up $lJ to belong to the one who is lirst called hard names by the other. If you assail me tho money is mine: if I forget myself, you take it. "My father readily agreed. He felt in a mild, agreeable mood. He was conlider.t he would never aain be a prey to the slightest impulse to sioak harshly to his dear friend Clay. And. besides, it was his recollection that Cijy was the man who raged and did tht loud talking. So my father cheerfully . laced the $J0 on top of Clay'a. lie thought it would be a good lesson to the blue grass orator to lose it. As they preeccded with th. game. Clay made some excessively thick-h;aded and ill-advised pay. He led the w:ong cardo: he trumped the wrong tricks; he did everything idiotic in whist that he well could. My father's blood begi.r. to boil. As he and Clay lost game after game his wrath ran hlghtr and higher. .Still he bit his lip and suffered in silence. It went on for hours, until Clay made some play of crowning Imbecility, which lost him and my father tho eleventh game. Flesh and blood could stand it no more. My father sternly pushed the $40 over to Clay. ' 'Why,' said Clay, opening his gray eyes with a look of innocence and amazement, 'why do you do that? You haven't said a word.' "Xo retorted my father, 'but I'm going to tell you, sir, that you are the most abject idiot, the most boundless Imbecile that ever dealt a hand at willst. Yes, sir, I repeat It, you are the fool I ever met in my life.' " Mary Had a Little Kam. Mollie had a little ram. fleece as black as rubber shoe, and everywhere Mollio went he emigrated too. He went l her to church one day the folks hiynoU3 grew, to see him walk demL,n(1 nto Deacon Allen's pew. The deacoihF--'.'?kly let his angry passion rise and' gave it an unchristian kick between the sad brown eyes. This landed ranimy in the aisle, the deacon followed fast, rn' aised his foot again, but oh, his lirst kick was his last. For Mr. Sheep walked back about a rod, 'tis said, und ere the deacon could retreat it landed him on his head. The congregation arose and went for that ere sheep, but several well-directed butts just piled them In a heap. Then rushed they straightway for the door, with curses long and loud, while rammy struck the hindmost man and shot him through the crowd. A Question of Collection. The rhetoric of the Utah constitutional convention is often amusing. For Instance, one of the delegates got this off the other day: "There Is an insurance company doing business here that has a building that coat more than $3,000,000, and has that much more !n assets. And there was a man in this town who paid that company over $3,000, who had been dead for more than two year?, and that man isn't able to collect th5 insurance." Then a delegate, evidently an Episcopalian, was so wicked as to respond cynically: "Certainly not; how could a dead man collect anything, unless it was the collect for the dead?" A German Custom. American mothers Mill wish a German custom was in vogue here. In that country, where children are much thought about, at ladies' luncheons there is a pretty little box set beside each place, and as the luncheon goes on little tidbits and dainties from the mother's servings are dropped into the box now a sweetmeat, then some salted almonds, a macaroon, a crisp, tender meringue, and so on till when the meal is over there is a goodly parcel of dainties to be carried home for tho babies. The mothers are as glad as the children, too. Accident Kovealcd by a I) ream. Two brothers named Hawk, who lived in a shanty near Madison, Pa., with two other men, went into a mine with them last Saturday morning to work. Tho brothers did not come out in tho afternoon, and that night one of their companions dreamed that they had been killed. lie descended into the mine Sunday afternoon and found that his dream was true. Under a great pile of fallen slate he found the brothers, one dead and tho other Jüst expiring. The latter died soon after being brought out. He had been under the slate for nearly 24 hours. Itowod for Cambridge In 1852. Lord Macnaghten, one of the lords of appeal, presided at the dinner to the Oxford and Cambridge crews after the race. Ho rowed in the Cambridge crew of 1S32, was stroke of the 1833 crew, while Justice Chitty stroked the Oxford boat, and won the diamond sculls at Henley. Ho was senior classic and won the chancellor's gold medal besides. One of this year's Cambridge crew, Mr. Adle, was senior wrangler last year. They Do. "Papa," said Sammy Snaggs, "we have been learning about trade winds at school." "Indoedl" "Yej. Say, Papa!" "Well. Sammy?" "Trao wind don't blow across th lands, do they?" ".My son, after you have met as many oomtnercial travelers as I have you wbn'l uif euch a qutstlon."
