TRAIN OF TROOPS

PASSED THROUGH TH E CITY rHIS AFTEBXDON En Routs to Indianapolis From Fort Wayns and Other Northern Points A Numbsr of Pscpls at tits Station to Sss Them Other Local War Nsws. This afternoon at 3:40 o'clock six passenger coaches and one baggage car were brought down on the O. K. & I. railroad and made into a special train at this city and taken to Indiana polia at 4 o'clock. The special ars were attached to the regular O. K. & I. train number 2-,-due in this eity at 3:40 o'clock. At this point the six eo aches were attached to a special engine as quickly as possible and a fast run was made to Indianapolis. The num ber of the men was between GOO and 700 and tiev came from points along the r. r W. & C. railroad and on tht O. B. & I. Plymouth, Columbia City, Decatur, Uenevaj and other towns in northern Indiana were represented by the soidurs There were twelve com panies, all of which are not regularil.', filled out as yet. There were a nnm ber of volunteers au I the men from Dacatur and Geneva belong to the National guard. It was not generally known that the train was to pass through the city today but the crowd at the station was large notwithstanding, and the boys in blue were given a hearty reception. TELEPHONE BUSINESS. There Are Great Possibilities In the Local Field at Present. The matter of the Cambridge City telephone company and its franchise asked for, did not come up at the las council meeting. It is understood tha' there are good reasons for the patience with which this company awaits the action of council, as there are other matters on hand intimately associated with local telephone business that wil.1 enter the consideration of the questioc of franchise unless present appearance)are very deceptive. Any possibilities now in eight, however, aae decidedly favorable to the incoming company,and so soon as anything may be released or may develop sufficiently to make it possible to give definite information. the public will perhaps be very agreeably surprised at the prospect for active competition with the Central Union company within a very slirt time, comparatively speaking. The chances for a local exchange in connection with, or independent of, the Cambridge City company are not as far away as the election of William J. Bryan to the presidency. Imbued With It. To show how much the public feel ing and interest turns toward the latest and the first American victory in the praent war the . following incident ia related by the proprietor of a 'good soda fountain: On the evening after the first news of the battle arrived in this city, a gangling youth walked into the con fectionery and asked for a glass of Manila" soda.

Norris was elected to succeed Brooks, who resigned on account of his removal from the ward, though he still had two years remaining cn his term for which he had been elected. Whelan was elected to succeed himself. However, it will be necessary to permit them to draw lots that they may determine whi"h is for the long and which for the short term. Hon, Gsrra W. Julian's Birthday. The eighty-first birthday of Hon. George W. Julian was observed yes terday afternoon and evening at his home in Irvington.

'GROWING UP" IN JAPAN.

Tfe Boy Ptom of Ag at riftB Tmu aad la Gtrea a New RMt In St. Nicholas there ie a paper on "Tbe Little Japanese at Home." Ly Ida Tigner Hodnett. Misa Hodnett t eays, in describing the "growing up" of a boy: n-v i - , i j i i : l i utru ue Mt d y trore oiu, ua unguis to wear tbe obi, a girdle three inches wide, whicb confines the kimono, a loose fort of garment and tbe main part of the Japanese national drese for both children and grown people. Tbe putting on of tbe obi is tbe occasion of another family feast, and a very important garment it is, for it corresponds to pockets in un American boy's first trousers. The front part of the kimono, above the obi, is also used as a pocket, and the long, wide sleeves, sewed up at the lower end, make two very big ones. When 15 years old, the boy become of age, and a third family festival occurs. Another name is given him, and bis hair is allowed to grow all over the bead, like a man's. Previous to this time tbe bead is shaved so as to allow the hair to grow only in spots or tufts, the place of tbe tufts varying up to the age of 10, when the crown only is shaved. At the festival celebrating bis majori ty tbe manner of friends and relatives changes toward him, and, while the day before he was still addressed as a child, now be is ad dressed in the ceremonious forms required by Japanese etiquette. Thr title of respect, san, is henceforth affixed to bis name, even by those nearest and dearest. These titles, san, sama, always follow the name and are never prefixed, as with our "Mr." For example, a boy whose name is Kiyoshi will be called Ki yoshi-san. In bis responses to thr kind speeches made to bim tbe boy hows that he understands the new nonors that have come upon hiir and that be is now ready to applj himself to tbe serious business oi Ufa It used to be a great thing to be born a samurai (sah-moo-ri) boy baby in Japan. The samurai were soldiers and scholars and wore er tirely apart from and above the ordinary people. They could noi engage in any business, nor could they marry into another clues. Thin has all been changed since the Japanese revolution of 1867-8. The people are now divided into two large classes the Lei ruin (ha-meen), or commoners, the shizoku (6hee-zo-koo), or gentry and all Lave equal rights under the law. The average lioy's success in life depends upon his own abilities and the use he makes of the teaching betray have. The first thing the samurai baby needed after he was put in his nurse's arms was a sword. Raher a queer , thing for a baby to have. g Tint tiian hnr No matter if the grasp the handle it for him, and when the obi became a part of bis dress the sword was fastened to it and hung by his side. To be sure, it was a wooden sword. But what of tbatt It was tbe badge of bis rank and must go whorever be did all day long, and when he went to bed it was laid close by. "The sword is the eoul of the samurai" is an old Japanese saying, and it was thus early fastened to bis side that le might become used te grasping i from infancy. When our young samurai reached the tge cf ?, it was a day of great rejoicing. At the family festival two real metal swords were fastened to the obi, one on , each side. The edges, however, were blunt, and accidents were further guarded against by having the swords so fastened in their sheaths that the young swordsman could not draw them out These were now his constant com panions until, at the age of 15, the weapons handed down in bis family took their place. - Wouldn't Boil Soft. When Mrs. Yeungwife began housekeeping among the bits of ad vice that her mother gave to the inexperienced young woman was this: As to boiling, remember tnat tne longer a thing boils the sotter it gets. Rice, hominy and cabbage are oftpn p noi led bv not being boiled enough. " Mrs. Youngwife assimilated tne words of wisdom, and the night before her first essay at breakfast she asked her hut-band what be would like. "My dear, eggs are simple and easv to TjreDare. Boil half a dozen and bo sure that they are soft boiled. A hard boiled eeg is worse than a cold mince pie." Mrs. Youngwife smiles sweetly and knowingly, and neit morning she was up early, and before George was awake she had the water boil ing. An hour later they sat down to the table, and George attempted to open an egg with his knife, but it resisted his efforts even as a thing that is ossified. "Dear," he said gently, but sorrowfully. "I told you I liked my eggs soft boiled." Mrs. Youngwife burst into tears. "I had them boiling 55 minutes by the clock," she soiibed, "but tbey wonldn't get soft!"' New York Journal.
