£ljc independent. WALKERTON. INDIANA. APRIL 29, 1893. W. A. ENDLEY, Editor. The big show will open next Monday. A London bank has failed. Liabilities, $40,000,000. The socialists will hold a national convention at Chicago July 1. A North Carolina church expelled a telephone girl because she worked on Sunday. The last legislature is said to have amended several laws that had already

been repealed. Ireland, as it now looks, may have home rule. If justice and right prevail she will have it. Only $l2O has thus far been raised in this state toward a monument for the late Gov, Uwv. , There is some talk of Chauncey M. DePew becoming editor of the New York Mail and Express. Miners get $lO a day in Alaska, but have to pay sl6 for a-plug of tobacco and 50 cents each for potatoes. Only two Americans were naturalized in England last year. The gates of Castle Garden are always swung inward. The disposition to seek revenge betokens a not very high order of mind. It is a marked characteristic generally of weak men. Indianapolis has an association of spiritualists with about 800 members. The motto of the association is, “Not by creeds, but by deeds.'’ Mayor Harrison has directed the chief of police to order the gambling houses in Chicago to close, and, furthermore, to see that they remain closed. A woman in Kansas refused to register this spring, saying that if her husband didn’t know enough to vote for the family she didn’t want to live with him. Two ministers were appointed by two different conferences as pastor of the German Evangelical church at Lake View, 111., and both are claiming the same pulpit. Tom Boe, a well known bicycle rider, proposes to take a ride across the continent from New York to San Francisco and will start May 19. He expects to make the trip in 65 days. Vegetarians say it is a popular fallacy that meat is needed for strength. In proof of their theory they cite the fact that the strongest animals in the world are vegetarian and not carnivorous. A prominent young society woman, wife of a New York captalist, died the other day of alcoholism. She moved in the best society of the metropolis and the fact of her being given to drink remained a secret until her death. Good roads mean an increase in the value of farms, a vast saving of wear and tear on horses and vehicles, a saving of time in transporting products to market, and an improvement in the material welfare and social condition* of the community blessed with them. Good roads are cheap at almost any

price. The science of theosophy, if indeed it can yet be called a science, is growing in popularity and gaining many followers in different parts of the United States. Webster defines theosophy as follows: “Supposed intercourse with God and superior spirits, processes, as by the theurgic operations of some ancient Platonists, or by the chemical processes of the German fire philosophers; also, a direct, as distinguished from a revealed, > knowledge of God. supposed to be at- , tained by extraordinary illumination; especially a direct insight into the processes of the divine mind, and the

interior relations of the divine nature.” We notice that a theosophical society was recently organized at Indianapolis with Judge Mcßride as president. There is plenty of opportunity for in-: vestigation in the occult laws of the world, and the theosophists may prove of great service in bringing to light some things now unknown to men.; The object of these societies is, in sub- I stance, “to form the nucleus of a uni- > versa! brotherhood of man without; distinction of race, creed, sex, caste or i color,” and “to promote the study of ; ’ Aryan and other eastern literatures, I religions, and sciences;” also “to in-j vestigate unexplained Jaws of nature ; and the psychical powers latent in mjn” I

Kru ip’s big gun, now in Chicago, weighs 124 tons. Ffteen thousand men are now at work on the world's fair buildings. The Millersburg Grit has enlarged to a six-column quarto. It is quite an improvement. Odd Fellows will celebrate the 74th anniversary of the order on Wednesday, April 26. The estimated cost of the world’s fair, buildings and all, when completed is about $30,000,000. There is a taxidermist in Philadelhia named Staffer. There is something in a name in this case sure. The state of Delaware has a new law

requiring retailers to pay a license of one hundred dollars annually for the privilege of selling cigarettes. H. A. Barnhart, editor of the Rochester Sentinel, and M. D. I of Indiananoii«- • of the the Northern prison. President Cleveland preferred common, everyday newspaper men instead of millionaires as the committee to receive him upon his arrival at Chicago. The Detroit News is making serious charges against Dr. W. N. Tracy, the temperance evangelist. The News says he is in the temperance field for the money there is in it. Character is not a gift, but a formation. Judas had the same chances of better things which his brother apostles had. Character grows from habits, and he adopted bad omes.—Ave Maria. April 27 was the birthday anniversary of Gen. U. S. Grant. He was born in 1822. At Galena, 111., the general’s old home, a great public demonstration was held in honor of the event. The famous “306” who stood by Grant so gallantly in the Chicago con vention of 1880 have effected a permanent organization. About 80 of the members of the faithful band have died since that historical convention. George Brown, the man who is walking from St. Augustine, Florida, to the world’s fair on a wager of $2,500, was billed to lecture at South Bend Thursday evening. Brown left St. Augustine March 1, and was to walk 1,300 miles to Chicago by May 1. The agricultural department at Washington after an analysis of sugar beets raised in Indiana announces that this state can produce as tine a beet sugar as any state in the Cnion. This being the case, the growing of sugar beets may in time become an important industry in Indiana. That Elkhart boy who was reported in a precarious condition from cigarette smoking has since died. He was in an unconscious condition fora week prior to his death and a wild delirium raged during the whole time and the I patient would cry out piteously to be given just “one more smoke.” A western editor apologizes to his readers somewhat after this fashion: ‘•We expect to have a death and a mar riage to publish this week, but a violent storm prevented the wedding and (the doctor being taken sick himself) the patient recovered, and we are accordingly cheated out of both.”

The Independent has held to the opinion right along that the closing of the world's fair on Sunday would cause more harm than good, and would prove a hardship to thousands upon thousands of working people. Bishop Spalding expresses our views of the matter exactly. Being interviewed on the project of the Central Sundays and. said: “If there’ the fair Sundays I can see no benefit | to society in Sunday labor. It would i be demoralizing to the workingmen. J and incidentally, to society at large. ! I hope some means can be devised I through which the fair will be opened !on Sunday. There will be thousands of visitors here, and the saloons and

places of vice being wide open, while the gates of the fair are closed, 1 fear that there will be cause for regret that the exposition was closed. 1 believe ! that all museums and libraries should be open Sunday. They act as educators, and no one disputes the fact 1 that they elevate mankind. If puriI tanical customs must prevail, why not ; close the public parks on Sunday. Il i Christian ministers insist on closing ' the gates of the exposition, workingI men will believe the church has no | sympathy with them, and the influence ? which the church now holds among s them will be almost entirely destroyed.” I

, SPIRIT OF OUR EXCHANGES. The newspaper that has th e courage to suppress the salacious details of t domestic scandal and declines to poison the minds of the young and innocent will better serve the end s o f morl ality and decency, although they are i sure to receive the censure o f that class of people who read the newsna pers for the evil that there is | n them t —Ligonier Leader. The man who says he was driven to drink” lies ninety-nine time, out of a hundred Nobody is around” people to drink and no cireuJ i does it.

glaring a case of southern o***«^» Trf sUen Uy passed over i-j «*«*<i>loo(ly chasm uvrtnern press. 'TfisA syvlone evidently violated the fifteenth amendment, and should be held to the strictest account. Os course the whole south is more or less directly implicated, and we shall probably soon hear from the New 5 ork Advertiser on the subject.—New Orleans Picayune. The meeting of the governors of the southern states last week in order to devise ways and means of increasing the immigration to that section reminds us that there was quite a fide of emigration started in that direction a couple of years ago, mostly by misrepresentation and after the northern suckers were fleeced they were turned adrift. Such men as Benjamin Butler lent the use of their names to further the scheme. If the South hopes to in- i crease the emigration she will not dare ’ to put up such schemes as the Talia- i poosa fake or (he Georgia Land and Improvement Co.- Bremen Enquirer. It is being suggested that, a celebration of all Christians be held in ! Jerusalem in the year 1900. OK. LINKEXfIELT'S COUCH COMPOUND.
