Timy are not playing lawn tennis in l)es Moines now.

In 1870, ludiana had a population of 1#J0,H37, in 1880, 1,978,301, and in 1890, 2,W2,401.

The state is bankrupt, but for all that iet the legislature make provision for Indiana's exhibit at the World's fair.

1 Kudyard Kipling's newspaper letters are any indication of hi* literary qualities a little of him will go a good ways. _____

Mrs. Stanley's mother is said- to be even mere interesting than her daughter. Well, please don't tell as any more about her!

The sentence, "Pack «iy box with live dozen liquor jngs," has be^.n fouud to contain all the letters of the alphabet. This is probably why Iowa and Maine abstainers use it so frequently.

A Muskegon woman has secured a divorce from her first husband and Is now preparing to marry a young man who ushered »t her first wedding. The young fellow is ambitious to say tho least.

A passenger who recently crossed the cceau on a Ounarder has sued the company for $5,000 because lie was sea sick all the way over. The next step will be to bring suit because the waves rolled tho vessel.

Indians who dio at this critical point in the campaign are destined, according to their own interpretation, to come to life in six mouths. Delusions such as this are very likely to bring about a spoody solution «f the Indian problem.

It almost requires Melfrogistoriug deyiuosto keep track of tho Indian lights reported by spocial correspondents who haven't yet learned to distinguish between an Indian walking in his sleep and a militiaman clapping his hands to keep up circulation.

One of tho loading Indiana organs has come out for Governor Hill "because ho is a thoroughbred" and "not contaminates with ir.iiirwuutpery." J^ov. "a .toomoumt," hut nexortlidios* fa Inciting one thing which precludes his nomination. Ho is a bcchclor.

Nino of tho fourtoen students in the law department of Georgia's State University are fanners' sons. This is a significant sign of tho tunes. If the fanners are to become political rulers they must have men in their party capable of liiiing every olllce at their command.

The Galveston News closed an areiclo on public affairs with these words: "In short, there can bo no essential health and no assured durability for any constitutional organism or for any social system which does not rest on a sound moral basis." Tho papers of Louisana, Arkansas and Alabama no doubt consider tho News a delndod infant in journalism. l.ord Salisbury, referring to tho rumor of strained relations between himself and Secretary Hlai lie, said: "Mr. Maine's treatment of correspondence has alwaysbeen courteous, and at no time justified the statements made by speculators and petty politicians." What will those K-nglish dalies which have been blackguarding Uncle Saul's Secretory of State have to say now?

The Tennessee Supreme court has decided that a mortgage Is not property, but simply security, and that it therefore cannot be taxed. What great justice there Is in such a decision. A capitalist Is thus enabled to put ail his taxable surplus into mortgages and derive a princely Incomo without payiugoue cent of taxes. The decision may be good law but It is far from sound common sense.

A minister at a fashionable Goshen church is reported to have paused in his sermon Sunday evening tosay: "There Is flirting, talking, note writing, tobacco and gum chewing going on in here. I will stop until it ceases." It did not cease, and he left his pulpit aud went home. The Goshen church attending population is evidently not lo oe suppressed by ordinary means. It now devolves ou the divine, other methods having failed, to call transgressors up to the front row.

The statement is made that if the money weresupplied, Yale college would establish an "annex" for women, and behold, an editorial writer on the Indianapolis News, whom suspicion may designate a woman, cries out: "Let us hope the eodownent will not be forthcoming. Harvard caji supply all the 'annex' education demanded by the women of the country. l«et us have no more of these educational aide shows." one day extension of privilege Is yearned for. the next curtailment of it.

TERRE HAUTE, IND.,

Colonel Way, of Savaunab, a World's Fair commissioner, recently said: "The colored people of Georgia and other states have made great progress, and are entitled to an exhibit by themselves if they want it. Colored people pay taxes on more than $15,000,000 worth of property in Georgia. They claim, and not without reason, that if their products are shown along with those of white exhibit rs the public will not know that the work is exhibited by colored people. Iam in ifavor of stimulating them to more active competition with whites in manufacturing Industries."J

Geraldine's Letter.

My DEAK KUTJI: I was thinking of Emma Abbott to-day, of the hard time she had in her early life, of her courage, her perseverance, her success, her great fortune, and I wondered why she could not have been content to stop and enjoy it. Her husband was dead, she had no children, and what motive could have kept her to the hard life of an opera singer. The poorest worrfan in the profession did not work harder than Miss Abbott. She made plenty of money but she did not enjoy it. Perhaps, after all, the practice of her profession was her way of enjoying life, and she would not have been content "to settle down, with nothing to do but amuse herself. She had been twenty years on the stage, and possibly no other life would have suited her as well. There are yo end of max ims afloat in the world emphasizing the fact that to be happy one must be ocou pied, that no idle man can be happy The world is like a farm, only deep ploughing gives rich crops. (I Attended the farmers' institute yesterday). Somewhere I have read that if one wants to see all the devils, he only needs to retire from business.

While listening to Miss Hosmeras she talked in her charming way of kings and queens, and other people of high degree whom she had known, I said: "tell me, Miss Hosmer, what are the social characteristics of those persons? What impressed you as the one characteristic which ttjey hold in common?" "Courtesy" was the emphatic reply. Surely it is the one unfailing test, not only of good breeding but of spiritual quality. It may almost bo defined as the very inllorosenoe of the finest attributeajpl human naturkv It Is more

than wealth, more iuipressivo than intellectual power alone. One of tho many good results of the tendency of the day, LO clubs, societies, and organizations of all kinds, is the culture of courte3y. Personal angular!ties that are apt to develop in solitude or isolation, are von tided off by contact. Social sympathies are developed, and the capacity to look at life in tho large and liberal sense and feel its related values.

The fashion now in vogue of the giving aud rocoiving of spoons, led mo to look into the matter of spoon love, which I found veiy interesting. The "Apostle spoons," which young ladies are so proud of possessing, were used as gifts from god-parents to god-children live hundred yoars ago. If the god-father was able, he gave a dozen of them, each containing an image of oue of the apostles in relief upon bis handle, sometimes with and sometimes without his name. In case the name was omitted, the emblem was used instead, and St. James would l»« attired asapilgrjm. St. Jude was usually pictured with a club, the emblem of his martyrdom, or with a boat to show his occupation, St. Simon with a saw, because he was sawn asunder and generally with an added oar, ta show his earlier tastes, ff the god father were too poor to give the whole twelve, he gave one spoon with the image of the patron saint for whom the child was named, or to whom he was dedicated. Shakespeare in "Henry VIII." when Cranmer declares himself unworthy of being sponsor to the young princess, mat?s the king reply, "Come, come, my lord, you'd spare your spoons," in plaiu illusion to the gift expected on such occasions. It is qnite the thing now to buy a spoon in what ever city one may chance to be, and have it marked with the name of the city. Boston has gotten up quite a variety. One style has "The Hub" at the top of the bowl of the spoon, a picture of a hub in the center, and the date below. Salem spoons with the figure of a witch on the handle are much sought after.

It is a pity some one of the members of the History Club, who are studying Gulxot's France, could not have been present at the sale of the Letting well collet hon of autographs, last week, in Boston, when a portrait and letter of Guisot were sold for 25 cents. T. B. Aldrich paid three hundred and ten dollars for a signed letter, autograph letter of Roger Williams, autographs of Henry VUI, twenty-one dollars, of Elisabeth, thirtysix dollars, of Ferdinand and Isabella, thirty-six dollars. A letter by G» A. Andrews, he of the Latin Grammar, sold for two cents. Jeff Davis' autograph, two cents*. All of which goes to show that contemporary fame doesn't help to make posterity vame one*# written name.

SATURDAY

OFTEN WONDER WHY 'TIS 80.

Some find work where somf find rest, And so the weary world goes on I sometimes wonder which is beet

The answer comes when life Js gone. Some eyes sleep when some eyes awake, And so the dreary night hours go Some hearts beat where some hearts break

I often wonder why 'tis SOB^S. Some wills faint where some wills fight, Some love the tent, and some the field I often wonder who are right—

The One's who strive,*or those who yield?

Some hands fold where other hands Are lifted bravely in the strife And so through ages and through lands

Move on the two extremes of life. Some feet halt where some feet tread, In tireless march, a thorny way ig-j Some struggle on where some have' fled

Some seek when others shun the fray.

Some swords rust where others clanta/^^ Some fall back where some move on. Some flags furl where others flash

Until the battle has been won. Some sleep on while others keep The vigils of the true and brave They will not rest till roses creep

Around their name above a grave. —FATHER RY.\I*. fu ft

Social Events.

The popular idea now prevailing in the local social world is one not relished by the men," for in truth they have been most unceremoniously informed that their presence is not needed to make a society event a success. Witness in support of this the innumerable card parties, afternoon teas, receptions, etc., of the last two 'weeks where men were not only conspicuously absent but actually not wanted. Afternoon after afternoon the ladles have been invited out, until it begins to look as though there were some premeditated malice behind it all, some concerted action to square accounts as it were. Possibly there is a secret back of it, and probably that secret is that the fair ones on getting even for the indifference shown them. It may be the reward for those mauy evenings of selfish enjoyment taken at the theater aud the nights of card playing spent at the club. At all events the ta bles have turned aud the ladies are having a delightful run of afternoons out, which occasions a spark of envy in circles that would monopolize all social pleasures.

A progressive tiddledy-winks party wturagft ol the notaMef

Havens on Monday afternoon in honor of her guest, Miss Elizabeth Harwood, of Chicago. The hours were from four to six, and during this time the very exciting gams afforded much enjoyment. There was great rivalry for both prizes, aud the winners were successful only after a hard struggle. The simplicity of tiddledy-winks is its striking feature and combining this with the novelty, a progressive game could not be other than very interesting. There were six tables, and the guests were Mrs. T. Emory Morford, Mrs. Alfred Hoberg, Mrs. Thatcher Parker, Mrs. Horace Wright, Mrs. John B. Alkman, Misses Belle Allen, Louise Haberly, Jessie Havens, Carrie Hyde, Elise Hudson, Mabel Cook, tannie Buntiu, Nellie McKeen, Miss Harris, of East Saginaw, Mich., Myra Durham, of Danville, Lucy Brokaw, Mollie Shaw, Margaret Eberle, Ida Duncan, Mils Hollis, of Boston, Frances Haberly, Cora and Fannie O'Boyle. The honors were taken by Mrs. Morford and Miss Carrie Hyde.

Tuesday evening Miss Havens also entertained, giving a "bonnet party." The young men were included among the guests for this—indeed they were indispensable, for the plan of such an affair requires that they shall do the bonnet trimming. The names of the young ladies, written on slips of paper, were drawn from a box by the gentlemen, and thus the guests were coupled off. Then each lady selected a large broad-brimmed straw bat and trimmings from a collection furnished, and to ber obedient servant was assigned thfe duty of putting the combination together. No suggestions from the young ladies were allowed, and in consequence the results attained were wonderfully startling. When all the hats had been trimmed, a council of the ladies was held to decide which had been most tastefully made. That ornamented by Morton Hudson was voted best, and that by Aadolph Gagg worst. During the remainder of the ^evening dancing was the feature. The guests were Misses Sua Ross, Mayme Wolfe, Mayrne Clatfelter, Jessie Perdue, Belle Allen, Louise Haberly, Jessie Alden, Katharine Wiley, Anna Paddock, tanny Bun tin, Kate Carlton, Abna Carlton, Nellie McKeen, Miss Harris, of Saginaw, Miss Harwood, of Chicago, Rose Farrington, and Messrs. Tom Beggs, Harry Beggs, Robert Johnson, Adolph Gagg, iiollin Buntin, Arthur McKeen, Mort Hudson, Will Katzenbacb, S. B. Tiusley, Harry Sleight, Ohmer Mewhinney, Arnold Layman, J. C.

One of the most delightful and beautiful card parties in this recent deluge of social events was that given by Miss Frances Foster on Thursday afternoon to her lady friends. Progressive euchre was tho game, there being seven tables in all. The guests were received in the large double parlors which were profusely decorated with hot-house palms and marguerites.

The Germania soeiety will give a reception on Wednesday evening, Jan. 21.

The annual reception of the Knights of Pythias will be given Friday evening of next week. Neat invitations have been issued and it is expected that the affair will prove one of the social successes of the season.

Tho young ladies of the "Mum Club" will give a dancing reception to tbeir gd^ilIeiSon frlenl$at 'Bindley: hill-, next Thursday oveuing. The event will be in the nature of a leap-year dance, the ladles not only escorting the gentlemen but also paying all expenses. It will be a full dress affair and in every respect quite swell.

The new county history, fresh from the press of S. B. Nelson fc Co., the Chicago publishers, is a volume which merits all the extravagant praise bestowed upon it by those who have seen it. It is a large, handsomely bound, elegantly printed volume, containing in its 1,018 pages a record of the county from its earliest days up to the very present. The credit for the literary work, which evidences great ability, is due Col. H. C. Bradsby, who has spent a year or more on the book, devoting his best energies to its completion. The history possesses one advantage over the old history which aloife would more than compensate for Its cost, and that is a complete index so arranged that any reference desired can be found in an instant. Not a single industry or social characteristic of the city or county is slighted, and thus the volume will become a valuable addition to the libraries of all who were fortunate enough to become subScribers.

OUR GRANDMOTHER.

See her, in the setting son, Folded hands—her labor done— Tis life's peaceful eventide.'

Heart of gold, and, words of cheer All who know her linger near, Gaining comfort at her side. You, who dread advancing years,

Look at her, and lose your fears. Learn how sweet old age may be. Children's children round her play, Like the rosy blooms of May

Cluster on some hoary tree. She is doing, while she may, God's own work in God's own wayBy her patient trust and love.

Every night we humbly pray "Lengthen still her life's long day Spare her to us, from above."

WomenWho Would Rule

In Washington, during a week of next February, will be held the first triennial meeting of the National Council of the Women of the United States. It is expected to be the largest representative body of women ever assembled.

Much of the immediate interest ol the council will lie in the women it brings forward. Miss Anthony and Miss Willard have been familiar figures for the latter part of a lifetime, but younger blood is not laoking. Mrs. Annie Nathan Meyer is the young and beautiful woman who, beginning without money and without influential backing, so wrought upon the trustees of Columbia and so rallied the friends of education that Barnard college became an established fact and offers to women Columbia's degrees. She is now about issuing a book on "Woman's Work in America," which contains articles on women's doings in the professions and the industries from the pens of the best-known American women.

Mrs. Kate Tannatt Wood lives in Salem, Mass., and her books are published both in England and America. The Society of Authors in London, of which Tennyson is piesident, has made her a member. Her poem, "The Wooing of Grandmo her Grey," was one of the holiday successes of last season. She' is an active member of the New England Woman's Press Association. Her husband was a favorite with President Lincoln.

Mrs. Luciuda H. Stoue, who Is to speak on co-education, lives in Kalamazoo, Mich. It was chiefly brough her efforts that the University of Michigan opened Ito doors to women twenty years ago* That institution has redontly conferred! on her the honorary degree of Ph. I).

Miss Jane Bancroft, who will have a prominent place on the programme, was bracketod by many critics this summer with Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer aud Mrs. Helen Campbell as oarrying off tho honors of the Chautauqua season.

Mrs. Mary T. Lathrop, who will speak for the W. C. T. U., is better known west than east. She lives in Detroit, and has devoted her life to temperance and evangelical work. She has held from year to year a local preacher'.^ license from the Methodist conference, though she has never been ordained, and her sermons are described as practical, persuasive and touched with glints of humor. One of her poems, "The Dead March," is a favorite with elocutionists.

Mrs. Mary Sey incur Howell, who, with Mrs. Stanton, represents the National American Woman Suffrage Association, is known to overy man who has sat in the New York State Legislature for the last few years. He has had to account to ber for his vote for or against the annual woman-suffrage bill. Mrs. Howell is tall, dark and slender given to wearing black, relieved by a singlo glowing rose. She is a most effect! ve speaker, always capturing her audiance's goodwill.

Miss Mary F. Eastman, the council's recording secretary, is one of the most, logical speakers in the country. She Is a magnilicent-looklng woman, with a strong, magnetic face and white hair.

Mrs. May Wright Sewall i« president of the Contemporary club of Indianapolis, and conducts, with ber husband, a famous girls' classical schoo'.. She edits the educational departmeut of the Business Woman's Journal. She has made( for herself an enviable name In literary and educational fields.

Mrs. Ella Dietz Clymer, as president of Sorosis, bae won for herself a wide •circle of admirers. She Is a woman of singularly attractive face and marked poetic abilities. During the sessions of the federation of clubs last spring sbo made a national reputation by her grace and tact as presiding officer.

Mrs. M. Louise Thomas, who wears the diamond badge of an ex-president of Sorosis, is a woman of earnest purpbse, broad culture and great executive ability. She has done yoeman's service in forwarding many progressive movements. She has a strong, kindly face, which bears the stamp of thought and character.

It is safe to say that the council will impress itself on the public mind. The single demonstration may amount to little, but it points the way to an organized movement of women which may command its own ultimata result. If ever it gathers it*elf together for specific' effort it may pull down or build u.p what ft will..
