A PROGRESSIVE PREACHER.
Personal Sketch of Rev. II. A. Edison, Pastor
of Memorial Presbyterian Church.

The pastor of the Memorial Presbyterian
Church, Rev Hanford A. Edison, is of En-
glish blood, being direct descendant of Sam
uel Edison, who became a citizen of Salem,
Mass, in 1859. Dr. Edison was born in Scots
vile, Monroe county, New York, March IA,
1887, and graduated at Williams College in 1855
For large part of the three following years he
was instructor in Greek and mathematics at
Genesee Academy, New York. In September,
1885, he admitted to the Union Theological
Seminary. New York city, and for two years he
pursued the study of divinity there. Having
already become acquainted with the German
language, in May, 1860, he went to Europe and
was matriculated in the University of Halle
where he gave attention especially to theology
and philosophy under the instruction of Tholuck
Julius Mueller and Erdmann.
Being licensed to preach by Niagara Presby-
terry, Oct. 20, 1861 he took charge of the Pres
byterian Church at Niagara Falls where he re-
manned until called to the passionate of the Sec
ond Presbyterian Church, of this city the duties
OF which he entered upon on Jan. IL, 1864 Steps
were soon taken toward the erection of the edi-
fee on the corner OF Pennsylvania and Vermont
streets, and the enterprise carried through to
completion resulted in the beautiful stone church
now occupying that location. To DIR. Edson's
Thanksgiving sermon, Nov. 26. 1868, Is as
cribed the impulse which finally estab-
lished the indianapolis Public Library. April
!, 1873, he transferred his services to the Me-
mortal Presbyterian Church. which now, per-
haps, is the largest Presbyterian congregation
in the city. The honorary degree of doctor of
divinity was conferred upon MIR. Edison by Han

WHY WRITING PAPER is CHEAP.
American Manufacturers learn How to Pro
duce the Best Grades at Small Cost.

Passing by stationers window, Journal re-
portersaw therein the announcement, '120 sheets

the dealer, in answer to tie reporters queries,
said Writing paper is now cheaper in this coun-

I'm 1873. when the panic came, all the paper
mills were running on medium grades of paper,
which was then the best made in this country.
The panic destroyed the market for this grade of
paper, as there was a glut Previous to this
time the finest papers were all imported. The
demand for imported papers continued. Our
mills kept number of their best workmen and
began experimenting on the better grades of pa

in one of the saloons, a favorite resort for col
ored people, swapping gossip and getting drinks.
No doubt the pious citizens would have been
greatly shocked had they known that instead Of
waiting near the sanctuary until services were
over, their servants had slipped away and were
mixing with the ungodly, and. perhaps, putting
suspicion upon them by having their family We

Fourth of July, Thanksgiving day, Christmas,
election days and every Sunday in the year.

little rest will do them good. They have been

Said a gentleman to the reporter "For sew

children, have been trooping to a corpse-shop to
look at the remains of that mummifed woman.

and went and took look myself. A view of the
corpse and the almost unbroken procession of
coarse and curious gazers has enabled me to
make up my mind on one thing. From this

There are nuisances and nuisances, but the
champion red-ribbon nuisance is he who. to save
the last half inch of fve-cent cigar, stands on
the step of bobtail street-car, to the incon-
venlence or every passenger, male and female,
who gets on or off the car. The way to treat
these Doors, as they could understand nothing
gentler, would be to jump on their corns with
both feet every time one gets on or off a car.

ODDS AND ENDS.

Elk Supreme Court Clerk Sheeriu 1.-THE new
State officers will be treated much better in sew
eral ways than the old ones. 1t will require
about $30, 900 to keep the new State-house going,
and there will be an army of janitors and sweep
ers. There will be new and beautiful furniture
every facility for the dispatch of business and
the care of papers. while ago the man who
attended to my room started the Are with an
opinion that one of the judges had just deliv-

the grand opening of the old State-house in the
winter of 1885 36. Everybody concerned had a

One Of the beauties of our street-car system is

"The cheapest papers, the wood pulps. have
no fibre and no strength. Besides, with the
wood pulp is used more or less clay. Wood pulp
is bleached with chemicals, and when such paper
gets old it becomes yellow. Some of the clay
and wood papers, if immersed in water, will
dissolve, leaving nothing but pulp The cheap
papers must have hard finish to be written
upon. Papers with rough finish must be of
linen stock or writing upon them would be like
writing upon plotting paper. The best paper is
made from pure new linen. Much of it is cup

Cheap Excursions.

On Saturday May 22d the Bee Line Ry
Co. will commence running series oi
cheap excursions TO the large cities. In
conversation with Mr.. G. E. Healy, Ex
cursion Agent, he informed us that the
fare from this place to Cleveland and re-
turn will be but seventy'fve cents. Now
while we concede the right OF the com
pany to run these excursions and of the
people 10 patronize them, we do not con.
slider it wise for either to indulge in this
business.
In the first place, the regular passenger
traffic Of the railroad is seriously embar.
rassed for several weeks, both before and
after the excursion. Again it does grave
injustice to our home trade. Our busi-
ness men spare neither time nor expense
in erecting business blocks which are rot
only ornamental, but Of great convenience
TO the entire community. The more val.
liable they are and the more steady and
firm the growth Of trade, the greater will
be the increase In value of the farming
land for miles around the town. What
would the farming land in this vicinity be
worth, compared withIthe present value,
II the business center OF Wellington
should be destroyed' The larger and
more prosperous the town, the more valu.
able becomes the surrounding farming
land.
Consider the large amount OF taxes paid
by the business men, which greatly light
ems the burden Of the farmer. 1t has been
estimated that every time an excursion is
run from here TO Cleveland, one thousand
dollars is left in the city which actually
belongs to this town. The railroad ex-
poets a certain amount Of revenue to come
from the towns along Its line, yet at the
same time It Is injuring the business of
these towns to build up distant city.
We do not wish our motives to be mis-
construed. II is not our intention to hurt
the business Of any person, firm, or cor
poration, but taking everything into con-
sidcration, we claim that neither this town
