FORMAL OPENING OF FREE FAIR PLEASED Home Coming Event Is Now Under Full Headway at Cambridge City.

EXHIBITS VERY ATTRACTIVE The exercises of the first day were much enlivened by a special musical proGRAM. Cambridge City, Ind., Sept. 18. The grand opening of the free fair and home coming, which was inaugurated by the members of the Business Men's association, more than a year ago. took place yesterday. Four squares of the Main street are being used. All of the merchants have erected booths, elaborately decorated in the adopted fair colors, red and yellow. 'Ihe booths alone are very attractive. These are used for the exhibits of the different products, such as corn, oats, cabbage, lettuce, onions, potatoes, turnips, tomatoes, squashes apples, pears, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, mangoes, water melons, bread, cakes, jelly and fancy work. Special booths have been erected for the display of fancy and prize chickens, hogs, sheep and cattle. Entries closed yesterday and there is a fine large display of all the above named articles. Indeed the exhibits are as large and interesting as those of a county fair. The crowd yesterday compared favorably with the usual first day opening. There are a great number of home comers and old settlers already in "town, the Atlantic and the Pacific and the intermediate territory being represented. Premiums are offered to the home comer traveling the most miles to get here and to the person, in attendance, who left here at the tenderest age. The heaviest man or woman and the lightest man will also be rewarded. No premiums are offered for the oldest woman, as Cambridge City women never grow old. and then everybody is youthful, gay and festive here this week. The exercises of the first day were enlivened by a splendid musical program rendered by the Soldiers' Orphan Home band of Knightstown, under the supervision of our townsman. Prof. J. W. Rummell. The concert given In the evening by the Cambridge City band was much enjoyed and kept everybody in good humor. ERNEST HI1MSHAW FUNERAL It Was Held at the Lynn Christian Church, Sunday.

The Cullinan diamond, which the Transvaal legislature has voted to present to King Edward. The diamond is GRiM CLD CROMWELL. The Protector Made Chrl!mi n Cluomy and Serloun liny. "Christmas was illegal in Cromwell's time," said an antiquary. "Those grim old Puritans were so gloomy that they would not have any gayety even on Christmas day. "Cromwell said that holly and mistletoe were heathenish things. He said that they had no real Christian significance; they were a part of some pagan festival of the Druids. Accordingly he made a law that if you decorated your house with mistletoe at Christmas you got thirty days in jail. "The terrible old fellow forbade Christmas celebrations no dancing, no singing, no playgoing, no feasting on Christmas day; penalty, thirty days. "You see, it was his idea that Christmas was a religious, a serious time, a time for churcbgoing and prayer and reverence and for nothing else. The Innocent family that in Cromwell's day sat down to turkey and plum pudding and wound up with Christmas games got a month all round. "Only for a time, though. The people rebelled. Willing as the people had been to put on the gloom of those dreadful old Puritans, they insisted on having a little joy on Christmas day, and Cromwell after a year or two had to give in to them." New Orleans Times-Democrat. "The Woman In White." In a letter to Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins intimated the fact that the great work upon which he had devoted so much time was finished, but that the finding of a suitable title had occasioned him much trouble. Eventually, feeling somewhat run down in health, he left London for Broadstairs, a resort which was a favorite with both Dickens and Collins. While lying on the cliff in a meditative mood one bright morning his eyes suddenly riveted themselves on the white lighthouse which stood boldly out in the foreground under the dazzling rays of the midday sun. As he gazed Collins in a semiconscious manner addressed himself in a whisper to the lighthouse. "You are as stiff and as stately as my white woman," said he. "White woman! White wo the woman in white. Eureka! I have got it!" And so the book was given this curiously Inspired title. The French Idea. The Frenchman of the middle class sacrifices everything in order to obtain for his children some official position or other, a mean one, perhaps, but a sure one, leading after thirty years of penury to a pension verging on destitution. This is one aspect of the decay of the French race. It is easy to understand that two races are not evenly armed for the struggle for life if one be made up of aspirants to official position and the other of individuals possessing initiative, daring and energy. Tor this reason do Latin races decline, ivhile Anglo-Saxon races grow anj multiply. Paris Siecle.

New York Times. OBITUARY. Charles Omer Druley was born at Boston, Indiana, May 12, 1S7S, and died September 12.1907, aged 29 years and 4 months. He united with the First Methodist church at Richmond, Ind., about fourteen years ago, retaining his membership till the end of his life. He was also a member of the Eagles lodge. For ten years in the earlier part of his life he was connected with th8 Richmond Item, after which he went to the Music College at Cincinnati; he also later studied music at Earlham College. For four years he has been in failing health, but made a brave effort for his life, traveling in different climates; but finally, he came back home, where, under a loving mother's watchful eye, he might spend his last days before entering "the home over there." Throughout his long illness, he was patient and cheerful, expressing a desire to die if he could not have good health. Within the last year he composed several pieces of music, thus showing his intense love for his art. He leaves a loving mother, many relatives and friends to mourn his departure. A short service was held at the home in Richmond, 207 North 9th street, conducted by Rev. Nelson of Grace M.

A writer of the London Tatler has been In Edinburgh and reports as follows: There is one thing that always disappoints the visitor to Edinburgh, and that is a complete absence of kilts, or, rather, the absence of Scotsmen In kilts. If you meet a man wearing a kilt in the streets of the Queen City of the Forth it will be a grave mistake to suppose that he is the laird of Gormuck or some otber equally famous highland chieftain. He is nothing of the sort. As a matter of fact, his name is Hodgkins, and he is employed during eleven months of the year licking up envelopes for a firm on the shady side of Eothbury avenue, London, E. C. Another mistake which strangers are apt to make lies in supposing that the good people of Scotland talk Scotch. I shall never forget my surprise on the occasion of my first visit to Edinburgh, when a policeman at the corner of Frederic street, to whom I remarked pleasantly that it was "braw, brient nicht the nicht, whateffer," told me to push off and stop asking him conundrums. Scotsmen do not as a rule talk at all. They possess the gift of silence to a really remarkable degree. I know a gillie named Donald, who lives in Perthshire, 'in whose society I have sometimes spent whole days stalking the elusive stag without his ever vouchsafing a single remark of any kind. I remonstrated with him once, pointing out that such silence as his almost amounted to taciturnity. He promised to try and cultivate a certain measure of garrulity, and after we had walked across the . heather for five hours, during which time I could see that his brain was working feverishly, he suddenly turned to me and exclaimed, "Yon's a fearfu earthquake they had in Jamaica!" after which striking effort he relapsed once more into his habitual attitude of respectful silence. "OLD GLORY." The Way This Nam For the Stars and Stripes Originated. The term "Old Glory," used to designate the flag of our country, is a favorite, and the expression is a very happy one. It Is said by those who claim to be well informed that the name originated with William DriTer, captain of the bark Charles Doggett. This statement appears in a history of the Driver family, and from this we find the following facts: Driver was a successful deep sea sailor and was at the time making his vessel ready for a voyage to the southern Pacific. In 1SS1, just as the brig was about to set sail, a young man at the head of a party of the captain's friends saluted Driver on the deck of the Doggett and presented to him a handsome American flag 19 by 38 feet In size. The banner was done up in stops, and when it went aloft and was flung to the breeze Captain Driver, savs the tradition, then and there named it "Old Glory." The flag was carried to the south seas and ever aft erward treasured by its owner. Driver removed to Nashville, Tenn., in 1S37 and there died In 1SS6. Before the outbreak of hostilities between the north and south Old Glory flew daily from a window in the captains Nash ville house, but when the rumors of war became facts it was carefully se creted. When the war broke out the precious flae was oui&ed into an innocent look ing comfortable and used on the captain's bed until Feb. 27, 1S62, when the Sixth Ohio marched Into Nasnvnie Then the flag came out of its covering, and the captain presented it to the regiment to be hoisted over the capitol. There it floated until it began to tear in ribbons, when it was taken down and a new one placed on the building. After the death of Captain Driver the first Old Glory was given to the Es sex institute at Salem, where It is still preserved and may be seen by the curi ous. Kansas city Journal. Too Much to Expect.

DIFFERENCE SHOWN

IN FRIENDS' VIEWS Question of Birthright Membership Subject of Heated Discussion. LEFT TO 5 YEARS' BODY. MUCH BUSINESS WAS TRANSACTED AT THE WESTERN YEARLY'S SESSION ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON. TMainfield. Ind.. Sept. 18. A diver sion from the routine business of the Western Yearly Meeting of Friends !rn Tiipsdav afternoon when the permanent board of control refused to indorse a petition presented it by this vearlv meeting, asking for the aboli tion of the doctrine of associated membership and the restoration of the old-time birthright membership. A heated discussion followed. According to the birthright system all children of members of the Friends church in good standing from the time of their birth are members of the church. This time-Tionored doctrine was abolished at the Five-Year Meeting at Richmond in 1902 In favor of associated membership. Since this change was made it has been a subject of considerable difference of opinion. After both sides had presented their argument the assembly took a vote and the permanent board was lori The clerk of the board V f V. A M J -V. V. " was ordered to forward the petition to the Five-Year Meeting, which convenes at Richmond next month. Vacancies on the permanent board were iiiiea Dy me ajiinjiutmcin. George G. Griffith, R. Wr. Furnas and Remington Newsome. An appeal for a more dignified style of preaching s embodied in the report of the minstry and oversignt comiumee. The report urged ministers to guard against all intense expression of emotion in their preaching and urged them to preach convincing sermons rather than the dreamy sort, sometimes handed out to the congregation. Christian culture and scholarship were the requirements the committee set for prospective ministers. It was stated that too many people attend church for entertainment and not for instruction. Transacts Business. Tuesday the Western Yearly Meet ing of Friends transacted more dusiness than on any other day since it has been in session. The report of the delegates to the Anti-Saloon League convention and to the state W. C. T. U. convention, said the anti-saloon movement is daily as suming larger proportions and gain1 M J ing fresh victories. Seven nunarea and thirty-one of the 1,016 townships in Indiana are now "dry ', ana tne promotors of the movement hope ,tnat Indiana will soon be wholly without saloons. Solomon 13.

The meeting next year win be cut short one day and Wednesday, usually the closing day of the assem bly, will be devoted to tne x;eie oration. Charles and Ella Louder of New Providence, la., vill be invited guests of the yearly meeting of 1908 and two of the chief participants in the anniversary program. Mrs. Loud er is the only surviving member of the building committee of the Five-Year Meeting which recommended the er ection of the convention church of this yearly meeting. It is planned to have a varied and interesting program ana anniversary day reminiscences will be related. A movement was set on foot to unite the board of foreign missions of this yearly meeting with the American Friends Board of Foreign Missions. Solicitors for funds to support the Friends school in Cuba were appointed. ISAAC THOMAS FUNERAL. The Services were tonaucxea Dy me Rev. Halleck Floyd. Dublin, Ind., Sept. 18.

" A FOG AT SEA. It Frightens the Timid end Even Discountenances the Brave. This curious picture of an arrival at the Hook of Holland is by C. Lewis Hind: "I awoke suddenly. It was full davlleht. My watch Indies ted 4 In the

morning. We should be nearing the Dutch coast. But why had the boat stopped? Why had the devastating scrunch of the screw ceased? I clambered from my berth and withdrew the curtain from the porthole. Sea and sky had gone. We were envelortl in a dense fog. The wail of the siren roused the passengers. A fog at sea unstrings the nerves of the timid and discountenances the brave. I noticed that the landing platform had leeu extended and that two life lines were colled upon it. On the bridge were five men. The captain stood in the center with two of his subordinates on either side. They leaned over the rail ieriug into the w:all of fog. I went forward. Three of the crew were lent double over the bows seeking the black mass that might be moving toward us. I could almost fancy I heard the crash, the shouts and the rush of feet. "The air was damp. I went below. A dozen passengers were gathered around the breakfast table sipping tea and toying with toast.

I thought lie was praving. but when the steward ad vanced and stood inquiringly lfore him he raised his head for a moment and said, 'Ham and eggs.' "Those homely and unfamiliar words relieved our depression; also the vessel began to move faster. Soon the siren ceased, and when the captain slouched into the cabin and called for a cup of hot coffee we well, I think some of us could have danced a Jig. I went on deck. "There was Holland. The sun was scattering the fog. We passed the place where the Berlin was wrecked. Fooh! Who minds fear on the morning after, with all the adventures of a new day waiting?" ENGLISH LOCAL SPEECH. Peculiar Way the Names of Some Towns Are Pronounced. We English are horribly phonetic and think nothing of spelling our name Featherstonehaugh and pronouncing it Beecham. If you motor you must twist your tongue to the local speech. There is a quiet village in Kent that is spelled Stalisfieid and has achieved the distinction of keeping a railway station at nine miles distance. But if you ask your way to it you must call it Starchfell or you will never find it. Huntingdonshire claims the purest English, as Hanover the purest German. But by the peasants Tapworth Is called Parpor. And not far distant Is another village of beauty. The motorist turned upon a rough road and asked the Intelligent laborer where it would take him. "That road," said the honest countryman, wiping his j brow, "will take you to 'Ell, sir." The , i courageous motorist wenc on ana found Ellsworth, which is merely Elser. The trouble as to the pronunciation of place names makes one very diffident, a correspondent complains, as to venturing upon pronouncing any that one knows only by the eye and not by j the ear. Being a Suffolk man, he knows that Waldringfield is Wunner-; ful and Chelmondiston is Chimston, ; while In the adjoining county of Norfolk Happlsburgh is Hazebro and Hunstanton Hunston, and visits to the ; west country have revealed that j Badgeworthy is Badgery and Corn-, wood Kernwood. The result is that he would not dare to make a shot at Uttoxeter or Bathampton, never having happened to hear either referred to by a native. After all, there are unfortunate differences of opinion among Londoners, even as to Southwark, Brompton and the two Bromleys. London Chronicle. Don't Be Too Thoughtful. Some people are often accused of being thoughtless, but better that should happen sometimes than always being regarded as too thoughtful. The habit of thinking too deeply on every item has an immense amount of failure at the bottom. Whether it was best to learn shorthand or a language perplexed one individual for seven months. lie could not make up his mind as to which he would derive the most advantage from, lie might have learned any one of those accomplishments in the time he took to think about it This is the case with many people, and Fortune has an awkward habit of crushing the too thoughtful Just as much as the thoughtless. London Answers. What Is Sound? The natural question. "What Is sound?" opens up a world of mystery and of delight to those that like that sort of thing. Anything that sets up vibrations In the air, where there is an ear to receive them, makes a noise. An alarm clock in a vacuum Jar may whir ever so busily, but It makes no noise. There must be air or there is no sound, and there must be an ear to carry the vibrations to the brain or there is no noise. Delineator.

r Few Indians have done more to make their race prosper under civilization than Gen. Pleasant Porter, chief of the Creek nation, who died at Vininta. I. T., a few days ago.
