THE TOWNSHIP ORDERS.
A Pertinent Suggestion by a Prominent Lady
Worker in Charity's Cause.

Said a lady who is we'll acquainted with the
sufferings of the poor, for the reason that she is
a frequent visitor among them, being engaged in
charits BILE work: ''The Journal is moving in the
right direction in calling public notice to the
township trustees office and Mr.. Kitz's method
of bestowing relief. l am glad that the Board of
County Commissioner are so ready and willing
to reform abuses which l know exist, some of
which the Journal has brought out and others
which suppose will follow. The Commissioners,
for one thing, ought to examine for themselves and
see the quality of the wood and size of the loads
furnished to the poor. Most Of the wood is
wretchedly bad. 1t will hardly burn at all. A
load recently furnished to an applicant on Col
lege avenue was of this character, and a church
committee bought the sufferers a load of good
wood to burn up the bad. Knowing, by personal
experience, how liable tradesmen who have
township patronage are to take advantage
of the beggars who cannot be choosers, to make
large profits on inferior goods and by short
measure, wonder that the Commissioners do
not put such guard and oversight upon not only
the grocery orders but on sales of coal and wood
that knavery would be almost or quite impos-
sible. The coal business is particularly deserv-
ing OF such oversight, otherwise it will be no
infrequent thing to find the dealers proceeding
upon the assumption that LOO pounds make a
ton"

library, valued at $50, 600; the museum, valued
at $27, 900, and the laboratories of chemistry and
physics, worth some $40, 600. Nothing was left
to the institution except a single building and it's
income. amounting, from all sources, to about
$4,000 per year, a sum barely sufficient for its
running expenses. In this j~uncture the county
of Monroe gave to the State, for the erection of
new buildings: the sum of $50 600. With
this sum, and some $50, 900 of insurance money.

the matter of professors and their salaries the
university cannot retrench. A backward step
in this regard is fatal.
"A bill is now before the General Assembly
approprIating $50, 900 to meet the wants of the
university. This sum is to be applied to the
furnishing and heating of the new buildings, and
to the restoration of the libraries, museums and
laboratories. This sum will not replace all the
losses, we understand-some of them are ire
prable-but it will place the institution once
more in a growing condition. The State cannot
afford to do less than this. Either the State Uni
verslty should be properly supported, or its doors
should be closed"

STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.
Some Proposed Amendments to the Laws
Governing Agricultural Associations

The State Board of Agriculture met yesterday.
President Lockhart being absent, Vice-president
Jones was called to the chair, and the following
members answered to the roll call: Mitchell,
Hagan, Sieg, Seward, Greene, Jones, Reed,
DUNCAN, La Tourette, Davidson, Graham, Boggs,
Custer.
A communication was received from Mr.. Wap-
penhaus. observer at the United States signal
station at Indianapolis, concerning the establish
ment Of a State signal service, to cooperate with
that of the general government After reading,
the communication was referred to a committee.
A communication from Prof. r. B. Warder,
State Chemist, at Purdue University, concern
ing the analysis of fertilizers was, on motion of
Mr.. Mitchell, laid on the table.
j. Fl. Blake, of Terre Haute, was permitted to
present for the consideration of the board a
number of amendments to the laws now govern
ing agricultural societies. Among the amend
ments was one making the county treasurer's
license for shows (now from So to $25) to be from
50 to $50, and that officer to pay over the amount
received for license Immediately upon receipt
thereof, instead of as now, paying whenever it
suits his own sweet will and pleasure. The
law now prescribes that whenever thirty persons
in two counties desire to form a district
association they may do so. Mr.. Blake wishes
10 amGUu tlliS SO bIlat Two OF more counties Inlay
make an agricultural fair district. Another
change is that when county commissioners pur-
chase land to hold a fair upon. the capital stock
shall be limited to $l5, 900, half of which must
be paid up. With these conditions the county
commissioners will deed the land, but if the
association fails to hold a fair for three years in
succession, the property shall revert to the
county.
1t was resolved to take the weather service re-
ports from Purdue University, to sustain and
strengthen that university, which was a State
Institution.
The afternoon was occupied chiefly with re-
vising the premium list for the next annual
State fair, which will begin ON the 28th Of Sep

Dopahey,s Claim Against the sentinel.

Donahey's Claim Against the Sentinel.
The suit of William Donahey against John c.
Shoemaker and the Sentinel Company, a claim
for $500 for alleged services, was tried by Squire
Feibleman yesterday and taken under advise,
ment. Defendant Shoemaker states explicitly
that he did not engage Donahey to surreplitious.
~ obtain Burford's bids for tho johnson county
printing, and the Journal was anisinformed as to
the exact language of Donahey's interrog-
atories. published yesterday. While Donahey
claims to have obtained the Burford bids he
does not claim to have got them surrepti-
tiously. and Mr.. Shoemaker explains that they
were not furnished him until after his own had
been submitted and all of them recorded; and
that he got then then simply for comparison
with his own, to see where the differences had
occurred. Mr.. Shoemaker stated further that
Donahey's alleged influence ame very near
losing him the contract, which is altogether
probable. The court will probably decide the
ease today.

ADJUSTMENTS,

~GRAND-LoTTA AS ''MAM'ZELLE NIToUCHE.H
"Mam'zelle Nitouche," Lotta's much-talked-of
new play, from the French of MN. Meilhac and
Millaud, was produced last night at the Grand
Opera-house. Notwithstanding the severe
weather a good audience was present and seemed
to enjoy the performance "Mam'zelle Nitouche"
is a farcical conceit of the French school, which
has lost much of it's flavor in the translation.
The story is that of a young woman, De-
mise, pupil at a convent, and who is supposed
to be very studious. The organist Of the con-
vent has secretly composed a comic opera, which
has been accepted by the management of the
local theater. Denise has discovered the secret,
and being about to be transferred to another
boarding school,, the organlst is deputed to ac-
company her there. Denise threatens to expose
his secret unless taken to the theater, and while
there assumes the leading role, with
which she is familiar, and which has
been rejected by a singer through jealousy. A
young officer falls in love with her, and through
numerous complications the plot is unraveled.
''Mam'zelle Nitouche," while allowing Lolita full
play for her specialties, deals with theatrical and
barracks life, and is hardly to be understood by
American audiences. Lolita is the same comedy
actress she is in her other plays. If agile
kicking and cunningly displayed hose will
score a success, Nitouche should be
credited as such, but Lolita is not French,
and in that the charm of the play is lost. Mr.
c. H. Bradshaw, as the o~rganist, gave the role
a flavor of femininity in WHICH a great MANY
actors delight, and which is not good taste. Mr..
Percyis dialect, too, deserves censure. Mr..
Darrell, who played the young officer, did not
appear to advantage. The best feature of the
performance was the drinking song, rendered by
Mr.. T. Fl. Stuart. who possesses a powerful and
rich bass voice. "Mam'zelle Nitouche" will be
given tonight and will conclude the engage
ment. There will be no matinee.
COMING ATTRACTIONS.
BARLEY Campbelrs White Slave" q spectac-
ular melodrama, which deals with the now dead
slave question, and which has been seen here
before, comes to the Grand Opera-house the last
three nights of the week, commencing Thurs
day. This play has always drawn large audi
fences, and the present company is said to be
capable. Miss Mary Newman assumes the lead
ing role. Since the former presentation "a real
rain scene" has been added to the spectacular
effects.
Mr.. Daniel Sully's "Corner Grocery" a farce
carried by the efforts of a bad boy and a quaint
lrishman, will play a return engagement at En-
glishs the last three nights of the week. The
Corner Grocery" was presented at the same
theater early in the season.
Mr.. w. NJ. r. French will deliver a lecture at
Plymouth Church tonight, illustrated by the
crayon. The gentleman is said to be a skilled
artist and the lecture entertaining.
The annual musical entertainment of Profess
sor Bahr and pupils will be given at Pfaf1in
