HOUSEHOLD CLUB
How
Warsaw People Have Solved the Servant Problem.
General E. R. Niles, for many years
a resident of Laportc and Valparaiso,
but for the past two years a resident
of Goshen, where he has been trying 1 1 I J 1 -
io practice law, nus ueen aajuogeti in-j sane. He has been noted for his
eccentricities and his mind has been
unbalanced for manv years. The
Gosben Democrat savs the old gentle
man, who has been confined in the
Goshen jail for several days, is very
melancholy.
WONDERFUL PEACHES
Several months ago publicity was
given to the effort of the Warsaw
housewives to solve the servant girl
question, always very exasperating in
that city, and particularly so in the
summer months, when the great Winona resort is crowded with guests. The neighborhood housekeeping club
idea is a success. The scheme was put into effect May 1, when thj annual trouble with the house help was starting, and it has proven so successful that it will be continued, not only through the succeeding summers, but during the winters as well. It will work equally as well in other Indiana towns and cities. The Household Club is in fact in Warsaw a protective organization against house help of all kinds, and especially against cooks. A company, organized according to usual process, rented the Lightfoot residence, one of the largest and best houses in the city, within two squares of the business section. There is a yard taking up a fourth of a block, and good, roomy porches, making it an ideal retreat. The entire lower floor was converted into one big dining room, and the kitchen was enlarged. Each of the twenty families was assigned a room or part of a room, and they furnished it complete, from matting to toothpicks1 using their
own dishes and silver and table, chairs
and table cloths. Home life has been worth living this year, and it costs less than $2.50
a week forcach person, allowing, at that, half fare rates to children that
hrve not fully matured appetits.
All bother of kitchen work at home
is not only removed, but for the seven dollars that Warsaw families would be
compelled to pay their cook during the summer months, a man and his wife and his mother-in-law or two
children can be fed. The expense will be increased somewhat in winter be
cause of fuel, but at present a re
spectable surplus is on hand, that will provide for elaborate spreads on
Thanksgiving and other holiday oc
casions,

The second story of the house is
given over to the help, who in return serve as janitors and custodians of the
entire property. The chef has put
up enough fruit and oth?r winter sup
plies to run his household, the same as
any housewife would.
FIRE LADDIES
Reunion of Present and Former Mem
bers at Engine House.
The reunir n of the fire department,
including ex-members, held at the city building last night was a complete success. It was of the nature of a celebration of the recent improve
ments in the engine house and recall
ed the grand ball with which the same structure was opened twenty-
six years ago, said to have been one of the most successful balls ever held
in the city. - Music, recitations and sparkling ad
dresses followed rapidly through a
long evening and light refreshments were served by the ladies to the delight of the Inner man. Chief Kuhn presided over the intellectual feast and kept the corner of his eye on the refreshment tables at the same time, while the assistant chief, - Arthur Underwood, looked after the comfort and welfare of the guests. It was a time for reminiscense, congratulation, and delicate suggestions to the city dads. The history of the fire department in Plymouth is a history of almost uninterrupted conquest over the destructive clement and its present condition and equipment is a monument to the far-sighted liberality of successive city administrations. It should not be forgotten
that the long strides toward perfection made in late years should be
credited to the present chief, who,
after seventeen years of faithful service in his position, is still satisfied to
jump at the tap of the bell, day or
night, to use his own horses and bug
gico, to risk the ruin of his clothes, to
subscribe and pay for books and
periodicals pertinent to the work of
firemen, to attend at his own expense the conventions of chiefs, to give a heavy bond to the city, and to accept as remuneration for all that the ridiculous sum of fifty dollars a year. The men in the department have always stood enthusiastically withChicf Kuhn and have responded to his efforts toward improvement because they knew of his labors to perfect himself in the art of fire fighting, and the result has been and is a tire force par excellence, commanding the confidence of the citizeus.
A FOUL OUTRAGE
Little
Five-Year-Old Azelia Stein the Victim of a Brute's Lust.
Wednesday afternoon at about 5
o'clock little Azelia Stein, the 5-year-old daughter of Joseph Stein, was accosted on the bridge approach near
the Windsor Hotel by a man who
grasped her by the throat and dragged
her back of the high billboard standing there. Before he could accomplish his purpose, but after he had unmistakably disclosed it, the child es
caped and ran screaming to her home
near by. A stranger here, giving his name
as William Campbell and claiming to be from South Bend, working on the
Pennsylvania grade as a shoveler, was
arrested by Marshal Chancy shortly
after and was identified by the girl as her assailant. Justice Molter ordered his commitment in-default of a $300 bond and he spent the night in jail. He was very drunk and very insolent but asserted his ignorance of the crime. Th'ii morning the man was given a preliminary hearing in Justice Molter's court and the circumstances of
the assault, the arrest and the identification were put in evidence. The little victim told her story cleirly and
positively and her recital filled the
audience in the court room with hor or and indignation. The act she des
cribed was too loathsome and repulsive
to be told in print. Four other children had been ac
costcd by a stransrc man during the
afternoon, but none of these could

geyjT is a good plan for every bather to know
well-founded objection to using a floor-cleaning soap upon the human body. Ivory Soap
is the bather's soap. It costs more than common soaps, but the difference is in the ingredients and making. Why not treat yourself with a little respect. Is not the human skin with its marvellous delicacy entitled to pure soap? Ivory Soap it floats.

With five years of untiring efforts
and Dainstakinsr care. Mr. Abe F.
Wilden, jr., has developed a peach or
chard of which he may well be proud.
Stretching away from the eastern boundary of Goshen a sandy knoll on
the Wilden farm is gradually maturing its first great crop of wooly fruit.
For fifty years this fertile hill was
known as a "worthless" pile of land.
Today those six acres are studded
with seven hundred fifty thrifty peach
trees, of which six hundred thirty-two are bending low to the ground under the enormous weight of many tons of
delicious fruit. The average height of these trees is not quite eight feet and so heavy is their burden of fruit
that Mr. Wilden has been obhjrcd to
supply props and rests to prevent
wholesale breaking down of tender
limbs. Thesandy soil of Mr. Wilden 's j
bonanza hill is loose and porous, extending to a depth of from fourto six feet. The fruit yielded is particularly smooth and free from imperfections. The most important varieties are Albertas, Crawfords and New Prolifics the latter ndy being picked by a large foree of pickers. The 2scw Prolifics are very plump and juicy, have delicious, fine flavor and Mr. Wilden pronounces them excellent for canning.
Albertas will be ripe in a week or ten days. In all Mr. Wilden anticipates a harvest of more than fittecn hundred bushels and has appointed Messrs. Sa
linger Bros, as exclusive agents for the marketing of his immense crop. Those
who have hitherto been prejudiced
against Indiana grown peaches need
only a taste of fruit to convince them
that it will compare favorably with
the sweetest of fruit, no matter where
grown. Goshen News.
0. N. T. Give a Farewell. A dance was given by the O. N. T.
Club, at Hill's Cafe, as a farewell to
Roy Corbly. The music was furnish
ed by Miss Harris and Mr. Jenkie, the
refreshments were served during the intermission reserved for them on the programs. A very enjoyable time was had though all regret the going of one who has been a good companion, schoolmate and friend to those he leaves behind him.
Progressing Nicely. Drilling at the new oil well on the
fair ground is progressing satisfactorily. The drill is now down to a depth
of 225 feet and in a heavy stratum of
slate. So far no trouble is experienced
with water at the new well. Andrew
Baney, foreman of the work, is well pleased with the new location, and
has good hopes of completing the well in a couple weeks. IJremen Enquirer.

Traction Line Under Way. The final arrangments for building
the Goshen & Indiana electrical rail
way were completed last week in Chicago and W. W. Hatch returned to
Goshen yesterday to get the work under wav. The force now employed
will be largely increased and the construction will go forward rapidly. The extension of this road through
Plymouth and Knox is included in the
plans for next season and is practically assured as a part of the agree
ment with the Chicago house that is
financing the project. The present
contract covers the division from Goshen to Angola. Samuel Tote & Co., Chicago bankers, are handling the bonds and are prepared to complete the enterprise according to the plans of the promoters;
A Successful Entertainment by the Ladies
of the Maccabees. The entertainment given last even
ing by the Ladies of the Maccabees
was a success from every point of viewartistically, socially and finan
cially. The opera house was packed
to its utmost capacity, there being in
cluded in the audience many persons
drawn from a distance. The curtainraiser, Cox and Box, presented by three of Plymouth's bright young lads, was so full of sparkle and rollicking fun of the Gilbert and Sullivan style that the audience was at once put in the best of humor to enjoy the excellent performance of Trial by Jury. There may have been sonething lacking in the dramatic action but whatever the shortcomings they were overlooked because of the uniform excellence of the musical performance. All who participated in the enterprise, whether as directors, managers or performers, are entitled to warm congratulations for their success. The entertainment was followed by
a dance gicn under the management
of some of the Blue Ribbon club, ad
vantage being taken of the fact that many young people were here from abroad.
