THE SOLDIERS ORPHANS HOME
How The Young Folks Enjoyed Christmas
Contributions From G.. A. r. Posts.

Hon. B. l.. Smith gives an interesting &C
count of the Christmas festivities at the
Knightstown Soldiers Orphans Home: A
special feature was Christmas cantata, the
talent for which was, we believe, largely
supplied from the inmates of the Home
itself. 1t was well rendered thr oughout.
Afterward, when Santa Claus arrived, he
popped out of the fireplace in the most ortho-
odox fashion, amid the clatter of bells and
the blare horns. Great care had been exercised
in the choice of presents 10 adapt them to the
individual for whom they intended; and the
result was most happy. The boys, according
to their several needs, received skates, pocket
knives, sleds toys, ETC.; the girls, handker-
chiefs toys, and other things dear TO the
feminine heart. Each child received a book,
selected with care, and adapted to its age or
attainments. There was candy galore, and
fun and enjoyment without limit or him
drance. The little lame boy, Willie, got
wheel chair, and to his other delights added
that of locomotion, long denied to him, and
looks forward eagerly to the pleasant spring
days when he will roll his chair over the
grass. All his other gifts ''paled their inef
fectual fires before the glory of this one, in
which he moved about the halls with pleas
ure as unfeigned as it was pathetic. Next
morning, in the fullness of his joy, he con-
fided to Mr.. Smith the statement that he had
passed sleepless night, made so by thinking
about his chair. 1t was present from the
Women's Relief Corps, ladies' society aux
Hilary tc the Grand Army of the Republic.
The other presents represented the gifts of
various G.. A. r. Posts of the State.
Many of the posts throughout the State re-
garded the "order" to contribute money,
books, ETC., not certainly as duty but rath-
er as q privilege, as the following resolution,
taken from letter similar to many others
received, clearly shows:

sustained for so many years. The
perfect system upon which the bus

maceutieal arrangements for the
Manufacture of the two recipes
with which we " ere made acquaint-

that the AUGUST FLOWERS, for Dys-

regret that in much of our practice

A Finished Town.

We clip the following extract
from a long article in the Summit
Sentinel of last week hemoaning
the lack of enterprise thrift and
prosperity manifest in that town.
Summit people should not think
hard of brother Bonney for 'lettin2
the cat out OF the wallet as he does,
because it becomes necessary some
times for editors to speak plainly
and tell some very unpleasant
truths, and he has no doubt done
so in the performance Of an unpleas
ant duty:
If we should but look around Us
If we will only visit every portion
Of our town, we cannot resist the
conclusion that there is nothing he
ing added to our wealth as a town,
or to it's increase in size. But we
will see vacant lots here and there.
and many Of these even on Robb
street, that should be covered by
handsome residences or elegant
store houses. We are apparently
dead or asleep. 1t may not please
our citizens for usto say this, but
it Ia true, Tor we cannot point t" a
single residence or store house that
has been erected during the last
eighteen months.
A point well worth remembering
in this connection by those who are
so misguided as to believe that the
liquor trs ffic benefits a town, is the
fact that Summit is the only place
between the Louisiana line and Can
ton, Miss. another dying town.,
that refuses To abolish the saloon.
We do not charge that the saloon is
responsible for the gloomy picture
Summit presents, hut one thing is
certain it can't he charged TO the
account Of Prohibition. The Sen
incl, too, Is an anti Prohibition
paper.

The United States Senate.

II IL now definitely settled that
there will be a clear Democratic ma
jprity in the New Jersey Legislature,
which elects the successor to Mr..
Sewell. Gov. Abbott will probably
he the man. He is a strong SPEAKER
and will be q man Of force and in
auence in the body. This makes a
Democratic gain. The Democrats
gain a Senator in Virginia TO take
Mahune's place, one in New Jersey
to fl Se~elI's place and one in
California to OIL the seat lately filled
by the last Republican Legislature.
This 10 a Democratic gain Of three
The Republicans gain Senator in
Nevada in Fairs place. This makes
a Democratic net gain Of two, thus
reducing the Republican majority Of
eight in the Chamber to four.
This is exclusive of Indiana which
has been carried by the Democrats
but as the Republicans openly threat
en- to expel enough Democrats in the
House to secure the Senator, it is
probable that there will be violent
contest ending in failure to elect.
The Republican majority in the next
Senate may be therefore estimated at
three, which includes Messrs. Rid
dleberser and Van Wyek. These
two men are Republicans for all es
sentisl purposes, aud the Republican
majority in the body is assured foI
two years longer.

fitted the consumers, as we'll as relieving
the burden of home manufacture.
Especially IL this the case with Green's
august FlOWers and Boschee's German

per dozen, has been added to increase
the size of the bottles containing these
remedies, thereby giving one-ffth more
