THE PEOPLE’S PILOT, RENSSELAER, IND., THURSDAY. JAN. 30, IM6.

An Educational Event.

An educational meeting, conducted by Dr. Charles A. McMurry of Normal, Illinois, and Mr. F. A. Cotton, deputy state superintendent, Indianapolis, Indinana, at the high school building in Rensselaer, February 1,1896. The following is the program: 10 a. m.—“ The township high school,” Cotton. 11 a. m.—“ Concentration (1.) Meaning of the termand related terms,” McMurry. Noon intermission. 1:15 p. m.—(2.) Principles of, and proofs of its value in the mental life of children, McMurry. 2p. m.—“ Hawthorne and the Scarlet Letter,” Cotton. Intermission. 2:50 p. m.—“ Concentration (3.)

Again there has been a summons to call from this earthly abode to a heavenly domain one tender in years. Mary Clark, daughter of H. B. and Lillie Clark was born near Attica, Ind., Apr. 23,1893, died Jan, 26, '96 at the home of Mr. Henry Mackey, Rensselaer, Ind., where she had been making her home. She suffered for several weeks from a complication of diseases until death released her from all pain that she might enter “the home not made with hands.” Mary was of a gentle, affectionate disposition whom to »know was but to love. While relatives and friends mourn her loss and realize that all which human hands might do could not keep her with them, they are reminded in the language of the poet: "There is areaper whose name is death And with his sickle keen, He reaps the bearded grain at a breath. And the flowers that grow between.”

The Arena for February.

The February Arena is probably the most attractive issue of this great reformative and progressive review that has yet appeared. In its 176 pages are found notable papers by Forbes Winslow, D. C. L., of the Royal College of Physicians of London, on “Madness as Portrayed by Shakespeare.’’ “The Land of the Noonday Sun.” by Justice Walter Clark, LL. D., of the Supreme Bench of North Carolina (profusely illustrated). Justice Clark has visited Mexico under the auspices of The Arena to study our sister republic, and this issue contains the opening paper of a series which will be magnificently illustrated, and which we predict will prove exceedingly interesting to all persons interested in travels and history, as well as social and economic problems. “The Bond and the Dollar,” by John Clark Ridpath, LL. D.; the second paper of a most notable series by America's most popular living historian. “Bryant, the Poet and Politician, by Frank B. Sanborn. “Personal Reminiscences of Whittier," by his friend, the Rev. Christopher Coffin Hussey (with full-page half-tone illustration of the old Whittier homestead and portrait of Mr Hussey). “The Government and the Telegraph Monoply,” by Prof. Frank Parsons of Boston University School of Law, and containing a vast array of indisputable facts of unquestionable value to students of social problems. “A half Century of Progress,” by Professor Mary Lowe Dickins m, President of the National Council of Women (with full-page half-tone portrait of Elizabeth Cady Stanton). “Scientific Theosophy,” by Prof. Joseph Rodes Buchanan. M. D.; a scholarly discussion of a problem engaging the attention of a large number of the most thoughtful people at the present time. “The Utopiaof Sir Thomas More (Part II) by the editor of the Arena; in this issue Mr.'Flower concludes his series of papers (so far as the Arena is concerned) on “The Century of Sir Thomas More.” Is Woman Embodied Obstruction?” by Helen Campbell. “A New System of State Warrants," by the Hon. Howard L. Weed, member of the legislature of the state of Washington; a very thoughtful and suggestive contribution, which will prove of special interest to independent thinkers who are interested in financial problems and who desire to restore prosperity to all wealth-creators. The Arena's two serials "The Valley Path,” by Will Allen Dromgoole, and “Between Two Worlds,” by Mrs. Calvin Kryder Reifsnider—gain greatly in interest with each succeeding issue. They are widely different in character, but both are striking works—one a story of real life in the mountains of East Tennessee, and the other a most fascinating romance dealing with the higher phases of metaphysical and physical thought, which are so profoundly stirring many of the best minds of our times. The book reviews also are a strong feature of this issue, occupying twenty-seven pages. No dealer in town is so well qualified to select good shoes as Judge Healy, |he veteran shoemaker. Examine his stock.

Obituary.

The Park Enterprise.

To the Editor of the People’s Pilot. I understand it is proposed, or at least it has, in certain circles, been hinted at, that as the court house is to be built for the glory and adornment of Rensselaer, that every string should be pulled that can possibly be gotten hold of. The esthetical and public-spirited of the capital city have long been asking for a city park where those of leisure and cultivated tastes can while away their much spare time amid beautiful flowers and singing birds, ’neath shady bowers and,upon glassy lakes; so it is now proposed, by some, to buy a plot of ground on the south side of the city (?)and park it. It is said that the dirt excavated for the park lake (and what is a park without a lake) can be sold to the county, for filling on the court house square, for money enough to pay for the ground. Jasper county will never build another court house, never will there be another chance for a court house grab, so argue those who expect to work it for what it is worth. We, up this way, think there is already enough “dirt” about that court house square without buying any more. Tip of Tefft.

FARMERS INSTITUTE

Will be held at the court house, Feb. 5, 1896. A program has been made out and will be supplied freely.

This will include all occupations, the invitation being not to farmers alone; ministers, lawyers, doctors, merchants, tradesmen, laboring people of all kinds, are invited to attend and take part. Other counties are making this institute work profitable, why can’t we? The speakers engaged to lead, on the subjects named in the program, are highly recommended as thoroughly practical men.

Local Events at Mt. Ayr.

Correspondence of People’s Pilot. Weather cooler. Rev. Austin was called away to preach a funeral sermon Friday, but returned this week to continue his meetings. George Royster of Morocco was on our streets the fore part of the week. N. C. Pumphrey spent Saturday and Sunday in Rensselaer. L. C. Lyons made a trip to the Hub Saturday. A crokinole party at Miss Gertrude Parks, Tuesday evening, Jan., 28. Supt. W. W. Pfrimmer was among some of his teachers in Jackson township last week. He found thfe schools in good condition. Rensselaer is howling for a new court house, but does not look at the sad condition of the hitch racks around the square. There are a’ -great many things needed before a court house. The farmers come into town and either have to put their teams in a livery barn or stand their horses on their heads in water and mud. A little time and money would make a great deal more comfort. Even our little town is weil supplied with hitching racks. People will leave your town and go where they can secure better accomidations to do their trading.

ARMENIA.

A meeting called in the name of the local Churches, to give formal expression of sympathy for the suffering people of Armenia, and protesting against their further oppression, was held in Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church, Jan. 19, 1896,1. B. W&shburn, M. D., in the chair’ Five churches were represented. The meeting adopted the following Resolutions: Whereas, The government of the Sultan of Turkey has deprived the Armenian people of their unalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; Whereas, He has not only refused to carry out his oft repeated promises to reform the evils from which Armenia has long suffered, but has perfidiously increased its burdens of tyranny and oppression; Whereas, He is at the present time waging an inhuman Warfare against Armenia, permitting, inciting, and encouraging Kurdish savages to plunder the country, burn its towns, and destroy * without mercy, and with unparalleled cruelty, all ages, sexes, and conditions; therefore, Resolved, That we heartily endorse the resolutions adopted by the great mass meeting at Chickering Hall. New York, in November last, to wit: “That in our opinion the Sultan of Turkey has forfeited all right to rule over the Armenian people; That we respectfully urge our govern ment to make every possible effort to induce the governments of Christendom to rouse themselves from their apathy and put an end to this intolerable state of affairs, which threatens with extermination thousands and thousands of our fellow Christians; That we urge upon our government also to do everything in its power to pre serve the fruits of American missionary toil;
