OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
NEW ANNOUNCEMENT.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL is rec.
ognized everywhere as the leading newspaper
of Indiana. No proper expense is spared to
maintain this undisputed excellence and to
increase the value and interest of the paper.
THE JOURNAL was never so well equipped
to serve the public. Our arrangements for
the collection of the news of the day are more
complete than ever, and we have added some
special features which must enhance the pop
ularity of the paper.
THE JOURNAL is the only paper in Indi-
ana that prints regularly the full reports OF
the Western Associated Press, which are now
more comprehensive than ever, covering the
whole world These dispatches are supple
merted by the work of special correspondents
at all the principal cities and towns of the
State and of the county at large. We have
special resident representative at Washington
City, who looks after the news of the national
capital with vigilance, paying particular at
tention to that which most nearly concerns
THE JOURNALS constituency. The full
est and most reliable intelligence from Wash
ington will be presented in our news columns,
free from party bias, impartially, and without
restraint.
Editorially THE JOURNAL is Repub-
lican paper, believing in the principles and
general policy of the Republican party; but it
recognizes that the day Of blind party organ
ship has passed. and it proposes to be perfectly
free to criticise and condemn, but in spirit
and with purpose for good, having proper
regard for personal rights and regulations.
The citizen, whatever his political faith can
be assured of seeing in the columns of THE
JOURNAL the fullest and fairest presentation
of the news, and in it's editorial columns such
respect if they do not meet his approval. 1t
may also be said that THE JOURNALS pub
lished as FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 1t rec-
ognizes that the women and the children are
to be instructed and entertained. They will
always find in its columns matter specially
prepared for them, while the paper will be so
conducted as to prove welcome visitor in the
household. The news will be presented in
such shape as to minimize the evil, and ito
editorial and local columns will be kept FREQ
from moral faint.

FAREWELL.
Mrs. McElroS's Farewell ReceptiOn-The
Crash at the White House.

Mrs, McElroo's Farewell Receptlon-Fhe
Crash at the White House,
Washington Special, Feb. Isl
For the last time President Arthur's sister
held an afternoon reception at the White
House and at o'clock the crowd began to
aather around the portals of the mansion.
In numbers the attendance almost equaled
that of the Saturday afternoon OF four years
ago when Mrs. Hayes held her farewell re-
ception. II was bright, sunny afternoon,
with a mild, sois air, and this served
as an inducement for many to
venture out. Beginning at o'clock,
the doors had not been open a half hour
before the entrance hall and the corridor aud
ante.room wee solidly packed. An hour
after the opening the people began climbing
in the windows to lessen the am on the
portico. Others sought entrance through the
basement doors and were met by those seek
ing egress IN that way from the crowded
paTlors. The corridor. tie conservatory and
all the apartments on the main floor we're
jsmmed. The musicians were swept away
from their place in the corridor, and , 600
women pushed, surged aud struggled toward
the Blue Parlors as their goal An occasional
man appeared here and there in the ocean
of fem nlnity. at 1880 the President came
past way down the private stairway and
stood overlooking the surging crowd. Gath
ering courage, he made the start, and taking
Mrs. Gwynn, OF California, o. his arm con-
Quered DIS way slowly 10 the blue IdTiOr.
AS he entered some one asked him how did
you ever get through that crowd, Mr., Presi-
dent? and his answer was question as TO
how in the world he was going to get out of
il again. Soon after him Secretary FreliDg
huysen was seen struggling through the
doorway, his face crimson with heat and his
hair n oistened about his forehead, having
evidently run the whole gauntlet OF the
crowd. General Sheridan was helped
through q window on the portico by
two policemen. and Mrs. Sheridan
remembered nothing else, until the crowd,
sweeping her on. at last landed her in the
presence of Mrs. McElroy. Senator Mander-
son and a party of ladies were taken up
stairs, then down to the basement and out to
the stairway on the south front of the house,
by which they reached the pertcO and the
windows of the Red Psrlor. Mrs MoElroy
sDd her sister, Mrs. Heyn sworth, took turns
in aDding at the head OF the line and re-
ceiving, Marshal McMichael and Colonel
Rockwell alternated in the duties of present
ing the visitors by name. Mr.. McElroy had
Mrs McCulloch, Mrs John Davis, Mrs. Nc
Michael, Mrs. John Stanton and forty eight
Young ladies assisting her.

Buffalo Express.
A professor IA Nsssar College says that the
managers 81 really alarmed by the steady
falling of in pupils during the past five
years. The number now is only little
more than baf that of 1873. The cause
isn't in any deterioration OF the college it
ssf - said the Professor, for it is the same
noble school IS ever. The trouble is that
Nastar has become thing to poke fan at.
Half the new jokes about girls are put upon
Nassar students. Their doings are fidiculsd,
exaggerated, fslsifed, aud the very name of
Nsssar is a synonym for feminine foolish
Tess. The consequence is that girls are be-
ginning to dislike to go there. 1 wouldn't
lie surprised to see the doors of the college
shut in FIVE years more. The newspaper
