Cl)c JnDcpcnJicnt. WALKERTON, INDIANA. JUNE 8, 1893. W. A. ENDUEY, Editor. Be afraid of nothing on this earth except to do wrong. It is claimed by high authority that times will soon be better. Clergymen are said to live much longer than physicians. ■ " 1 new laws passed by the late state are now in force. The emperor of Germany contemplates visiting Chicago daring the world’s fair. It is said that there is a prospect of the world's fair remaining open another season. Ex-Congressman Shively has been appointed one of the trustees for the Indiana State University at Bloomington. A Jersy City paper, speaking of an accident, says: “One man was killed, and the other had his head severed from his body.” The Chinese empire, it is said, is making preparations to sever all its relations with the United States government. This will be some loss to our government, but a greater one to the ! Celestial Kingdom. The Indianapolis Daily Snn has a legal department and dispenses advice free to its subscribers wanting lighten questions of a legal nature. It will doubtless prove a valuable feature of that enterprising paper. Illinois has the vice-presidency, the chief justiceship, the state secretaryship, the inter-state commerce commission chairmanship, the first assistant postmaster general, the comptroller of the currency, the commissioner of Indian affairs, assistant secretary of the treasury, minister to Belgium and a number of fat consulates. And the end D not yet. editor of the New Albany Tribune, always has a level head, and we are not surprised to see him favoring Sunday opening of the world’s fair. In winding up an editorial on this subject the General says: “The greatest of poets lias told us that there are books in running brooks, serm ms in stones and good in even-thing. Yonder in Jackson park more sermons may be uttered every Sunday than can be heard in all the pulpits of America.” An exchange remarks that the people who need more religion are: The man who lets his horse stand all day in the rain without a blanket; the man who growls like a beast with a sore head when his wife asks him for money; the man or woman who scolds; the woman who whispers around that some other person is not what she ought to be; the man who walks the streets with his hands in his pockets while his wife carries the baby; the preacher whose sermons never do anybody any I good; and the man who keeps a dog j and chews tobacco and says, he cannot afford to take his home paper. A dispatch from Elkhart dated May 31, says: “Eugenie Vanderberger, of Philadelphia, and Marie Wertz, of Chicago, heirs of Eugene Dupont, the inventor, who died in March, 1885, at Washington, D. C., brought suit yesterday in the United States district, court to recover damages to the amount of §75,000 from Congressman C. G. Conn, of Elkhart, Ind., manufacturer of musical instruments. TI e complainants state that since the death of their father, Eugene Dupont, Conn has failed to pay the royalty he agreed to pay on a certain patent which their i father held and Conn has been using 1 in the manufacture of his instruments.” A St. Bernard dog, of remarkable! Intelligence, was recently buried at ’ Providence, It. 1., with ceremonies similar to those given at the funerals of human beings. “Jumbo” was the dog’s name and he was beloved by the whole city of Providence and surrounding country. The dog’s master had the remains placed in a fine casket and laid in the family mausoleum. The dog lay in state three days and many of the leading men did not hesitate to take a last look at the dog and drop a flower on his casket. Judge Robison, a highly esteemed citizen, delivered the eulogy over J umbo in his most impressive manner. Jumbo had an interesting career having saved many people from drowning and performed other noble deeds that endeared i him to all. |

I he breaking up of t he whisky trust will most likely cause that article to go down. But that is nothing new, as the tendency of the “crathur” is gen- i erally that way. The famous and much talked of 1 pianist, who has just left for Europe, created much controversy as to the pronunciation of his name, which according to correct information is as follows: Paderewski is pronounced as though spelled Paad-air-eff-skee, the accent on the est. The most successful men are those whose lives are governed by singleness of purpose, who concentrate their powers upon one great aim in life. But few men succeed who divide their abilities and waste their strength in the pursuit of divers purposes and vocations. It is better to excel in one thing than to be middling good in many. It seems probable that Dr. Briggs will be declared a heretic. What the Dr.’s punishment will be can not be foretold, but it is to be hoped that he will receive a light sentence. The people who are holding a session over him are not to be blamed for the course they are pursuing as they believe they are in the right so far as their ideas of the right goes. But granting this, Dr. Briggs is also to be admired and respected for the position he takes. The crime of which he is guilty is, that he is a broad-minded, liberal, progressive thinker and has the honesty and courage to express himself. And this is heresy. Hail he been a hypocrite he might have avoided all this trouble. A Day of Delight. [Chicago Mail.] i Not an incident marred the beauty ’ of the first Sunday on which the gates ' of the Columbian exposition were j thrown open to the world. Not in Jackson park alone, but throughout the city of Chicago, order prevailed to an extent hardly known in recent years. Not a deed of violence was reported to or by the police. The attendance at the fair proved all that The Mail has claimed. The American workman has w distinctive dress, nor manner, nor speech. He is one of a sovereign people and claims the dignity of his station. To select him and his family from the great crowd yesterday was manifestly impossible. JJut many things went to prove that it was he and not the customary visitor who populated the buildings 1 and grounds yesterday There was an absence of votaries of fashion for fashion's sake. Few or no roller chairs were used. The eating-houses were little patronized. The absence of loudmouthed criticism was notable. Everywhere silent and studious men and women gave undivided and respectful attention to the wonders and beauties about them. These facts, which are attested by all present upon this august occasion, whether in favor of Sunday opening or not, disprove, on the other hand, every illiberal statement made by Sabbata rians. The attendance, unsatisfactory in point of numbers as it may be to i some, was the best proof of the popuI larity of an open Sunday. There was Ino organized effort to swell the attendance and no preconcerted res] oase to the clamor for an enormous showing on the first day of the week. It was a normal crowd, lessened on one hand by the uncertainty of the event and increased by great numbers of persons who are unable to attend on other days. The Mail congratulates the people, not of America alone, but of the entire world, upon this auspicious ending of a fight which has had no reason for existence. INDIANA SOCIAL STARS. Indiana has reason to be proud of its < beautiful and accomplished women; no i state in the union has greater warrant i for such pride. All citizens of Indiana, therefore, should feel special interest I in “Society Leaders of Indiana,” pub- \ lished in Demorest’s Family Magazine I for June, which includes superb pori traits and authentic biographical sketches of the best known and most accomplished and beautiful women throughout the state. These representative portraits are from photographs collected especially for this purpose, and each picture is a superb specimen of the highest style of modern reproductive art. The article is a graceful tribute to the mother, wives, and daughters of Indiana; and this gallery of the state’s beauties and celebrities is one which every Indianian should possess and preserve, especially when the collection (that would cost, even if procurable, at least §5 00 in any other way) can be got for only 20 cents, together with many other fine ! attractions with which this number of “Demorest’s” is crowded.

SPIRIT OF OUR EXCHANGES An authority on lummy makes the statement that everybody; without exception, has some cranky notion which, j abnoi mally developed, would make । him insane. Fortunately the majority I of us live and die without our man a coming to perfection. And the ftfm.v part of it, further attests this exLprt is that while we can pick out the £ vddy eccentricities of our brother, own are not discernible to us.
