£lje independent. WALKEHTON, INDIANA. DEC. 17,1892. W. A. EXDI 4 IiY, Editor. The Chicago News says that the morning greeting in Chicago now is, “Good morning, have you been robbed yet?” President-elect Cleveland is" taking boxing lessons of Muldoon, the trainer, it might be well for some of the eager and over-zealous office-seekers to make a note of this fact. The body of Jay Gould lies in the dismal splendor of an SBO,OOO mausoleum at Woodlawn cemetery, New York. In this connection it might be well to note that a six year old child starved to death near Denver recently. The Marquis de Veraqua, a descendant of Columbus, will, it is said, open the World’s Fair at Chicago from Madrid by pressing a button which will establish electric communication through trans-atlantic cable, and set in motion the machinery. July has proved a fatal month to presidents. John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe. Zachary Taylor, M. Van Buren, Andrew Johnson, Ulysses S. Grant all died in July. James A. Garfield received his death wound in July. The following libel on Indiana girls is from an eastern journal: “That young fellow from Indiana who rescued a nice girl from drowning was not at all grieved at finding that his only reward was four quarts of butternuts. He was afraid they would want him to marry her.” A REMARKABLE BANQUET. “I have eaten apples that ripened ; mme than 1,800 years ago, bread made from wheat grown before the children of Israel passed through the Red Sea. ! spread it with butter that was made * when Elizabeth was Queen of Eng- 1 land, and washed down the repast with ' wine that was old when Columbus was playing barefoot with the boys of Genoa, is the remarkable statement made by a writer in the St. Louis f Globe-Democrat. “The remarkable ‘spread’ was given by an antiquarian —mtmed-GeobETip the city of Brussels 1 in 1811. The apples were from an earthern jar taken from the ruins of Pompeii, that buried city to whose people we owe our knowledge of canning : fruit. The wheat was taken from a ■ chamber in one of the smaller pyramids, the butter from a stone shelf in an old well in Scotland, where for centuries it had lain iu an earthen ' crock in icy water and the wine was recovered from an old vault in the city of Corinth. There were six guests at the table, and each had a mouthful of the bread and a teaspoonful r s the wine, but was permitted to help himself lit erally to the butter, there being several pounds of it' The apple jar held about two-thirds of a gallon, and the fruit was as sweet and the flavor as, tine as ' though put up yesterday.” Get your job printing done at the Independent office.

DEATH OF ALFRED B. MILLER. The editorial fraternity of northern . Indiana has suffered a notable loss in the removal from its ranks of Alfred B. Miller, editor of the South Bend Tribune, who died last Saturday evening after one week's illness. Mr. Miller’s death was the result of a chronic trouble. He was taken sick 1 on Sunday, Dec. 4. On the day previvious he was at his place of business in his usual health. On Sunday morn- , ing he suffered a severe attack of an old trouble, an acute pain in the bow- . els, from which he received only tem- , porary relief. The trouble did not yield to the usual medical treatment, and beingofan obscure location wasdif--1 ficnlt to diagnose. The services of Dr. Hall, the eminent surgeon, of Chicago, was called in consultation with other physicians, and it was decided that the patient’s ailment was stricture of the bowels, and that an operation would be necessary to save hia life. The operation was performed, but the patient rallied for only a short time, He began to sink rapidly and lived but a few hours after the performance of the operation. Mr. Miller was one of the best known newspaper men in the state, and had been identified with South Bend journalism for about 30 years. While Mr. Miller devoted the most of his time and talents to newspaper work, he also possessed a rare taste and ability in general literature, and many poems, sketches and stories from his pen were of a very fine order. His death will be a great loss to South Bend, where he was always among the leaders in every movement looking to the best interests of his community. Personally he was a genial and companionable man, which characteristics won him hosts of friends. He was born in 1840 in South Bend, and was therefore about 52 years of age at the time of his death. The newspaper fraternity of Northern Indiana deeply feel the loss of their able co-laborer and friend, and sincerely condole with the bereaved family in the great affliction which has befallen them.
