The president has not changed the
name OF his country place from Pretty
Prospect" TO Red Top" nor has Mrs.
Cleveland done so. The newspapers did
it, and it came about thusly: One night
about a month ago four well known
correspondents gathered together at 8
restaurant for supper. During ice repast
one Of them-a correspondent for a New
York paper-remarked that he had been
out to the presidents country place that
day. Il don't like the name Of the
place" said he. Il see the president has
painted the roof red and I'm going to call
it Red Top. How do you like the
name'' he asked OF the other three. They
laughed and replied that they did not
think he could fasten the name to the
place. '1'll bet you a supper can" he
replied. IL less than q month 'Red
Top" has become the accepted name for
the place, and the correspondent won his
supper. II is said that neither the presi-
dent, Mrs. Cleveland. nor Mrs. Folsom,
who is to live there, like the new name,
but it seems as if it has come to stay

A SINGULAR DIVORCE CASE.
A Woman Who Has Been Adjudged Insane
Figures as the Complainant.

Philip and Josephine Mertz came here within
the past two years FROM Wabash, and lived with
her parents at the corner Of Market and West
streets. The wife became greatly interested in
religious matters, and during the past summer
attended the tent meetings in that part of the
city. It is charged that her religious zeal un-
settled her mind, and on the 10Th of this month
an inquest of lunacy was held. The
husbands testimony was that she imagined she
sat on the throne of God. and that she as
serted that she had no interest in worldly mat
tiers. This state of fanaticsm, the record Of the
inquest states, led her to neglect her household
duties, to refuse communication with her hus-
band and finally to abandon him. Other feat
ures of her malady are related in her refusal
to submit to medical treatment to
allow her children to take medicines prescribed
by physicians She said that God would make
them well and that she could have no further re-
lationship with her husband because ne was un
cody and too worldly for one Of her piety to as
sociate with as husband or companion. Mrs.
Mertz is twenty years of age, and was born in
Brazil Ind. Sne went to live with
she now is. It is said her
parents were anxious to have her sent to the In
sane Asylum. and that it would have been done
months ago if the husband had not refused his
consent The judgment, as it appears of record,
is that the woman is q religious monomaniac.
Yesterday this misfortune became singularly
prominent as to the relations of husband and
wife. by divorce complaint being fled on her
behalf. Mrs. Mertz says that they were mar
ried July o. 1881, and lived happily together
until February. 1884. She alleges that her hus
band then left his profitable business
as employe in a grocery and became
bartender. In this occupation, she
states. he became addicted to habits
of intoxication and associated with women Of
questionable character. The first Of this year

The McAll Mission.

The Indianapolis McAll Association will meet
in the chapel of Christ Church, corner of Merid-
ian and Circle streets, on Monday afternoon, at
o'clock. All members and friends are cordially
invited, and if there are any who question the
wisdom Of starting this new feature of mission
work they are especially invited to come
and see what is. Many of the city churches
are now represented. The object is to secure
the cooperation of all the sctve workers in each
church of every denomination in the city-warm
their hearts with 1.-The McAll spirit" This
seems like the ideal mission work, because it is
devoid of all sectarianism.

AGAINST THE ABSTRACT MEN.
A Legal Opinion that They Are Not Entitled
to Access to the Records.

The initial step has been taken in move
ment which threatens to annihilate the business
of abstracting titles in Indiana Until the re-
cent suit in the federal court epjoining
the abstracters in this city from using
the records Of the United States Court,
in their business, no question was ever raised in
by the court has led to movement by the
county recorders against the abstracters, and If
their position is sustained by the
courts, the abstracting business will
be practically wiped out Of ex-
istence. An opinion has been obtained by
Benjamin Hamaker, recorder of Grant county,
from the law firm of Mcdonald. Butler & Mason,
which states that there is no statute in Indiana
giving to the public the right of access to the
books Of the recorders Office. and that the ques-
tion must consequently be governed
by common law. It is their opinion that the
common law indicates that the public generally
had right Of access to the records. and less
right to make copies thereof unless the person
making the examination has an individual
interest IN the record, which involved mis- own
title to property or taxes The abstract men,
for speculative purposes. have no such right
The fact that the Legislature has allowed the
recorders a fee for furnishing copies Of records
is cited as evideuce that they are given exclusive
right to any pecuniary benefit to be derived
from making abstracts. as means of defraying
the expenses of the office It is claimed that the
privileges which have been enjoyed by persons
engaged in the abstract business has been at the
expense Of the rights of the recorders. Forti-
fed with this opinion, Mr.. Hamaker refused
to allow the abstracters to copy the records in his
Office. without paying for them. The abstracters
claim that he has no right to deny them the
privileges which have hitherto been accorded
them. The matter will be settled in the courts,
and proceedings have been already begun
Hamaker is supported by the other
recorders in neighboring counties. and as a COM
mon interest of vital Importance is involved, it
is expected that the abstracters will unite in the
endeavor to establish their rights in the courts.
