AN ANNIYERsARY.


eREENcAsTLE CELEBRATES THE ANNrvER.
sARY OF THE SECOND GREAT FIRE-rHE
BOYS MAKE A DAY OF 1T. 90
Especial Correspondence of the Sentinel q
GREENCAsTLR, IND, March S.-Tbe
city fire companies to-day celebrated the
anniversary OF the second great fire by a
grand parade and other appropriate cere-
monies. The parade came off this sfter-
noon between two and three o'clock.
Order of procession as follows: First,
city dads, next engine steamer, t0llowed
by hose-csrriage drawn by the boys, and
last came the "soda fount." The compa-
MES were in full uniform, Cen
trails red and black, Soutbenders
white and black. After psradIng through
the principal streets, they returned to their
respective houses to make arrangements
for the evening dill play. A huge heap of
boxes, barrels and Other refuse materials
were piled up on the southeast corner OF
the new college campus, and at o'clock
p. ~. were fired, and the race began, to see
which company could throw the first
stream on the fire. The bells gave the
alarm, and away they went, slashing and
splsshing, as though the fate of the nation
depended upon their celebrity. The South
enders threw the first stream, but bursted
their hose almost Immediately. The Gen.
trails then threw a stream from their
steamer, amidst
THE FRENzIED CHEERING OF THE CROWD.
Hundreds of people were out to see
the show. 1t appeared as though the
whole population had come ont for spree.
The companies both deserve great credit
for the discipline they display ed, and the
hort time consumed in reaching the fire.
They worked like veterans, and no bung-
ling or confusion occurred. They mean
business if they are mostly boys, and the
city is already snuch indebted to them for
heroic daring and successful fire lighting.
Mrs. L. o. Robinson, their firm and re-
spected friend, will, under their auspices,
deliver a lecture a. the Locust Street
Church, March Fl, on the subject of fire.
Henry Vincent, the venerable, eloquent
and powerful lecturer, gave another of his
enter tanning, instructive and intellectual
lectures this evening; subject, elizabeth
of England" Those who have heard him
know that all description is tame.
Peculiar in bis manner, and with
husky, at times, harsh voice, he yet holds
an audience as Jew men can, and is sub
timely grand when inspired by his elo-
quent outbursts of oratoTy. He keeps his
audience intensely interested and you
hear an almost universal sigh as he closes.
and feel sorry you hear no more. Time
nor space will not allow even the attempt
of synopsis, but bis final period and apos-
trophe to liberty is WORTH the price of the
lecture to any one, and those who have not
heard him have missed rare treat. Oh,
Il was grandl it was grand! Greencastle
ought to feel highly honored in having the
presence of such man twice in ono sea-
SOD. That he may many times grace our
rostrum with his venerable presence and
overpowering eloqueuce, am sure is the
wish OF many. L.

AN APPEAL.

ASSISTANCE ASKED FOR IN AID OF THE
STATE UNIVERSITY AN OBSERVATORY
THE OBJECT.
President Moss, OF the State University
faculty, and John j. Morrison. president
of the board of trustees of that institution,
have issued the following circular: The
Indians State University has history and
b position which entitle 1t to appeal with
confidence TO its alumni and to the friends
OF q sound and thorough education
throughout the commonwealth. We re-
ioice in the presence and influence among
us of our higher schools and colleges,
whether UNCONVENTIONAL or other wise, and
gladly maintain that whatever they NAV
do for the promotion of scholarship and
the formation of character Is done to and
for the state. But our State University,
hindering none and seeking to aid and CO.
operate with all, has peculiar place and
sphere of its own. With increasing de-
mands and opportunities, it must increase
its facilities and resources. While il may
look to the people at large for a growing
hberality In the aid furnished by the state
legislature and the state treasury, may IL
not also ask for the special consideration
and care of its alumni snd OF others who
are DESTROYS of elevating and diffusing
THE BEST AND HIGHEST CULTURE?
Would not the wise and economical ex-
pendisureof money for these ends be Sc
cured by founding here, through private
gifts, scholarships, professorships, Depart
ments, schools OF science and art, as they

FACTS ARE STUBBORN THINGS"

Thousands of human beings are yearly
borne on the swift current of disease down
to the grave, just because they do not pos
sess q sufficient knowledge OF themselves.
A man meets his neigh Dor, and the first
salulation is, chow are your" or elbow is
your health 2" The reply frequently is,
sob, 1 am well, with the exception of q
cold" Most persons lightly regard a
cold. Reader, do you know that q cold is
one OF the NEST dangerous of maladies? A
cold not only clogs up the pores of the en-
tire system, and retaIds circulation, but it
is productive of Catarrh, which is quite
apt to lead to Consumption. Oh" you
say, sit is nothing but a cold in my head. !"
True, but that cold is really mild form
of Cstarrb, and If not arrested In its course
will become chronic. Catarrh Is one of
The most disagreeable, offensive affections
in the catalogue of diseases. The passage
TO the nose is INSTRUCTED, the sense of
smell impaired, and there is a disagree
able sensation OF pressure in the head. In
the more advanced stages there is a dis
charge having an offensive odor. If the
disease be allowed to continue in its
course, thick, hard incrustations will form
in the head, the bones of which sometimes
become softsned and break away in pieces.
Why will persons continue to suffer from
such an annoying, disgusting disease.
when they can just well be cured of it,
DIR. Sage's Catsrrh Remedy will cure the
worst forms of Catsrrb; in fact, it is the
only sure and safe remedy which has yet
been offered to the public. Many harsh,
irritating preparations may, for time,
relieve the urgency of the symptoms, but
they do not cure the disease. DR.. Sags's
Cstsrrh Remedy is soothing and healing
in its effects, and when used with DIR.
Pierce's Nasal Douche, according to direc-
tions, does not fail to effect a cure. Sold

IrY OFF ON TO THE SHOULDERS OF A STA

The Terre Hsute Express of yesterday
relates this romantic incident of railroad
ing: On the Vsndalis passenger train No.
3. out of st. Louis Monday evening, John
X. Wise, conductor, was a neatly dressed
lady passenger who held a ticket for Green
vile, also good sized bundle. Ga arrival
at Greenville the lady got mp and walked
out of the train, leaving her bundle in the
seat. The brakeman noticed 1t and called
to her and went to get the bundle, which
proved to be an animated one, and on ex-
animation developed very small
man of about ten days expert
ence. The mother had disappeared
and could not be found. Conductor Wise
insisted on Mr.. Van Valkenburg, the
agent, taking 1t and instituting search
for the mother. Van demurred, saying
be bad two already, and unless the SOM
pany raised bis salary he could not assume
the liability. But Wise insisted, and 30
the little stranger was left with the agents
Mr.. Van Valkenburg stated that the lady
could not be foundyand that he had more
freight on hand than his way bills called
for. He says he will hold Wiss respon-
sible, and Wise says tbs company's orders
are very strict, and passengers must have
tickets, or pay their fare. In the mean
while Van holds the baby, and asks for
an advisory council at once.
