A Dazzling Social Event.

Bar Harbor (Me.) Special.
The biggest ard most extraordinary social
event that ever occurred at Bar Harbor took
place last night, and has been town talk ever
since, The young son of a Scottish nobleman,
who has been ranching in Texas and made big
fortune there, Charles Dundas by NAME made a
spread that viii not soon be forgotten, especially
by caterers here at an enormous expense. A
huge marquee tent was erected on Sheep Porcu-
pine island, in the harbor. 1t was hung with
hundreds of Japanese lanterns, and trimmed
with boughs of evergreen and every other kind
of forest trees The ground was covered with
magnificent Brussels carpet, the tables set with
the finest linen, and adorned with a superb serv-
ice of china, glass and silverware and loaded
with magnificent profusion of dollhouse flow
ers. Each lady was supplied with an elegant
corsage bouquet, and each man with a simple
boutonniere The effect was simply gorgeous,
and when the Japanese lanterns were lit, and an
enormous bonfire started, the sight was enchant-
ing, the brilliant costumes of the ladies adding
still more life to the scene. All Bar Harbor was
wild with curiosity. gazing intently at the gay
island and its guests. The entire affair was in
charge of Baldwin, Of Montgomery market, Bos-
ton, and was got up in manner that spared no
money to render it surprisingly elegant

KANSAS LAND SWINDLERs.
A Plan by Which Many Indianians Have Been
Tempted Into Worthless Investments.

From recent developments it has been learned
that many fraudulent sales Of Kansas lands
have been made, and the names Of the real own.
ers have been forged to the deeds. Letters
which have been received by the Governor state
that many of these forgeries have been by per-
sons living in Indiana, and it is probable
that the swindlers have been operating
for years, as the sales have generally
been made to wealthy people, who purchase
real estate speculation, and it is not discov-
cred that the deeds which have been given them
are forgeries until they 60 to make transfer of
the land. The fraud is one that may be easily

Presbyterians and Lightning Rods.

There are a great many people, especially the
old-fashioned Presbyterians, who so firmly be-
ieve in foreordination, that they could not be
induced to put up lightning rod. They re-
gard all such things as barefaced attempts te
thwart Providence, therefore sins, and such
sins as bring swift and terrible punishment or
the sinner Some of them are so sensitive on
this point that they will not allow lightning
rod man or life insurance agent to sleep under
their roofs, or eat at their table. A few years
ago a dyed-in-the wool seceder went from 8
Presbyterian neighborhood in Ohio across tc
West Virginia to attend the funeral of his
brother in7law. As soon as he saw there were
lightning rods on the house he said it was nc

THE NEW ORLEANS EXPOSITION.
The Efforts Being Put Forward to Insure a
Creditable Exhibition from Indiana.

Exposition at New Orleans, on account of i'll
health, his alternate, w. F. Nesbit, of Evans
vile, has been named for the position No mott
flcatlon Of his acceptance, however, has yet been
received Dr.. G. M. Dabney, of North Carolina
one Of the special commissioners, who is familiar
with the work of preparing State exhibits, will
come to Indiana to assist the State commissioner
IN making the arrangement for a creditable
exhibit and as the exposition opens in Decem-
Der, it IS important that the work of making the
collection should not be delayed much longer.
In letter concerning the Indiana exhibit, re-
eeiyed by the Governor yesterday, Major e. A.
Burke, the director general Of the exposition
says:
The board of management are anxious that
all OF the States and Territories shall be repre-
sented at the Worlds Exposition. The spectacle
OF the United States government exhibit around
which will be grouped the evidences of the wonder
full resources of the States and Territories with
specimens OF ores, cereals historical collections
models and illustrations of machinery will be
calculated to inspire additional pride of country,

pride, interest the people in the exposition The
effect must be to bind the people closer to-
gether in patriotic thought and augment the inn
PoECance OF our country IN the eyes of the
people of the world Our board of
management appropriated $1,000 to aid each
State to collective exhibit of its resources
The appropriation is only available for this
purpose. We adopt other methods of encour-
aging individual exhibits, hence, do not wish
these funds expended for that purpose. It was
hoped that by cooperative action of agricultural
and historical societies, county fairs and associa
tons, with such aid as might be extended by
public-spirited citizens, the State commissioners
could with the aid of the S. 600 appropriation,
prepare an exhibit Of the natural and historical
resources of the State. We can no doubt secure
free transportation and will give your
commissioners every assistance here.
The first installment of our appropriation.
81, 1888 is now subject to your draft for this
purpose, and second installment will be ready
in a few days. The time is short but energetic
action, with your progressive people and great
facility for communication, will cover all difficult
ties
There is some misunderstanding of how the
appropriation alluded to is to be applied, and it
may be stated in explanation that it can be used
only upon the State exhibit prepared by the
commissioner Other provisions are made for
the individual collections intended for exhibition.
