The following will be of interest to the Richmond people who went to Wyandotte Cave on the High School excursion and who viewed the famous "Constitutional Elm," of which the article is descriptive. The News had a fine picture of the elm : New Albany, Ind., July 24. The State of Indiana and the picturesque town of Corydon, William Henry Harrison county, are threatened with the irreparable loss of the grand old ("constitutional elm," under whose leafy branches, in June, 1816, the constitution of Indiana was drafted by the hardy pioneer delegates from Clark, Dearborn, Franklin, Gibson, Harrison, Jefferson, Knox, Perry, Posey, Switzerland, Washington and Wayne counties, who preferred outdoor air and breezy comfort in midsummer to the more imposing official halls of the stone capitol erected in 1811. A destructive insect has attacked the old elms of Corydon, and has killed several historic trees in the court house yard. The "constitutional elm" has survived one visitation of the elm-tree pest, but it is again denuded of its foliage, and it is claimed that one more attack of the insect will destroy this honored and venerable memorial of early Indiana statehood. The old elm tree, which has been the chief pride of Corydon since territorial Indiana was made a State by the adoption of its open-air constitution after eighteen days' labor and discussion "on the twenty-ninth day of June, in the year of our Lord, eighteen hundred and sixteen and of the independence of the United States, the fortieth," is a tree of beautiful and magnificent proportions having a trunk five feet in diameter, a hight of sixty feet, a width measurement of 135 feet from tip to tip and covers with its dense shade a space of 150 feet square.

From indications there was from 100 to 150 feet of oil in the well and 100 feet of salt water. The oil is of a good quality, and will no ddubt be a big boom for Knightstown. TBS Iff BOOK Thirty Years in Washington by Mrs. General John A. Logan. This magnificently illustrated volume is published with the consent and aid of the United States government, and this fact alone is evidence of its sterling merit and of the great care that has been bestowed upon it. It is said that all roads lead to Washington just as they did to ancient Rome. Certain it is that the eyes of millions who cannot behold the marvels and glories of our National Capital in person are constantly turned towards it. I The book is a complete panorama of the countless interests of the National Capital as seen by a famous woman who, as the wife of an influential Senator, a society leader, and the close friend of every mistress of the White House from Lincoln to the 1 present time, has been in close touch with the inner life of Washington, and enjoyed rare privileges for studying the mighty activities of the Government, such as no other person has ever before been able to command. Many distinguished men and women have long urged Mrs. Logan to give this volume to the world. She has received letters from thousands 1 unknown to her, expressing the hope that it would be written. In her preface she says : "My first introduction to life in the city of Washington was in 1858, General Logan then being a member of Congress, and for more than thirty years I have lived there almost ! continuously, an interested observer of passing events. As the wife of a Senator, I may. say that I enjoyed unusual privileges and opportunities to see and know the inner life and activities of the Capital City. I have had my share of the favor of the powers that were, and the honor of being included among the distinguished guests at both private and official entertainments; and I have known the pleasure of personal acquaintance with prominent statesmen, courtly diplomats, and beautiful, winning, and gifted women, filling with grace and dignity the highest social positions that the people could bestow, v, "It has been my aim to show my readers, both by . word and pictorial art, the wonders and the workings of

the elaborate machinery of the Government in motion, by leading them through the great departments and explaining what the army of busy men and women workers do and how they do it; to show them the works of art, the wonderful collections of relics and curiosities jfrom every part of the world, and the architectural glories and priceless treasures of the Capital; to describe and explain its giant 'activities; to take them through the White House from the attic to the cellar, through every forbidden room, 'and to portray not only its daily life, past and present, but its brilliant social and official functions as well; to tell the story of every president, and of every woman who has ever reigned in the White House; to visit the Treasury, the Dead Letter office, and to solve the marvels and mysteries of every government in

dustry ; in short, the present every interesting prase of life and scenes in Washington." Its illustrations are a triumph of American art. It is worth the price of the book just to look at these 50 magnificent full-page plates, from photographs taken with government consent and aid exclusively for this volume. They portray wonderfully interesting scenes. The government generously waived all "rules and regulations" in order that this book by a woman of Mrs. Logan's standing and influence should be as perfect and coplete as possible. One can linger a lopg time over these beautiful plates, and though he turns from each with regret he is pretty sure to find the next one of still more absorbing interest. We do not know when 740 pages have given us more genuine pleasure. If we speak warmly of the book, it is because it richly deserves it. It is sold only by agents, and all who introduce such a work ought to be cordially welcomed. Put it into your homes. To own it is to prize it; to read it is to obtain a liberal education. We believe that the best way to keep out poor books is by introducing good ones, and a better one than this has never been brought to our notice. The book is published by the old and well konwn firm of A. D. Worthington & Co., Hartford, Conn., whose imprint is sufficient guarantee of the excellence of this first-class volume. They want more agents for it. An agency for a book so popular as this offers to men and women an unusually good opportunity to do well. OLD SETTLERS Meeting to be Held at Economy and Centerbille. The Old Settlers' Association of Wayne and Henry Counties will hold its tenth annual meeting on August 2 at Osborn's Lake, near Economy Ind.

A In the Pulpit at The Tirst Presbyterian Church. Kev. W. I. Davenport, of Rocky Ford, Colo., occupied the pulpit at the First Presbyterian church yesterday. He took for his text the 5Sth verse of the loth chapter of First Corinthians and pfeached a carefully prepared sermon. He seemed to please his audience and held their attention from the moment he began to speak. He placed particular stress on steadfastness in both faith and works and thought the race was justified in this from the teachings of Paul in the entire chapter from which the text was taken. He spoke of two great hindrances to the Gospel today. One is the formalism of some churches and the other is the rationalism prevailing throughout Germany. A lai-ge congregation heard the sermon.
