NOTICE TO sUNDAY-scHooL OFFICERS.
Tomorrow the Day for the Annual Collection
for the State Sunday School Convention.

At the last State convention of the Indiana
Sunday school Union, Sunday, Oct. 3, was, by
unanimous resolution, designated as the day
when ali Sunday schools throughout the State
be requested to take up a penny collection for
the support and expenses of the Indiana Sunday
school Union in its great work
The small sum of one penny per member
taverage) is all that is asked of each school
Doubtless the amount was made so very small
so that no school in the whole State could truth
fully say "We can't afford it." The Hoosier
State can well be proud of her Sunday school
record. With separate county association IN
each OF her ninety two counties. all working in
harmony with the State organization she is
equal to the best. and excelled by no other State
In the Union in point of thorough or
ganization and active. hearty cooperation

report. an interesting document shows total
OF ,0I3 schools, A. SO officers and teachers, and
sc, 800 scholars, or a total army of $40, 46l
Sunday school workers and scholars. This
port is known to he an under rather than an
overestimate, 400, 900 being more nearly the cor
Instrumentation
The total expenditures reported for the year
1880 were $84, 4O4. Sc, and, if the amount is cor
rect, the cost of tuition for each scholar is only
about 20 cents year, which is certainly cheap
enough. The number of conversions reported
is 49, 1O4, and if that, too, be correct, then the
cost of each converted soul was $467 For the
best work at the least cost certainly the Sunday
school can be commended.
Please do not forget the little collection on
Sunday next Send the amount to the secretary
or president of your county Sunday school
union, who in turn, will please remit to the un-

DEATHS TRAPS IN INDIANA.
Abominably Bad Sanitary Condition of the
States Penal and Charitable Institutions.

The State Board of Health closed its two days
session yesterday The time was principally
employed in auditing bills, and the transaction
of other routine business. The only interesting
feature of the meeting was the report of the
committees of the board appointed at previous
meeting to investigate the sanitary condition of
the State prisons. Drs Samuel Seawr;ght and
tigated the Prison South. They report that its
surroundings are of very bad character The
prison is poorly drained, and the buildings and
sewers are disgrace to the State, and great i'm
position on the citizens in the vicinity of the
prison. There is great need for more and better
sewerage. There is but one sewer leading from
the prison, and it is badly constructed and is lit
tie better than none. 1t is only few inches
below the surface and the escaping gas pollutes
the atmosphere at all times. To the west of the
prison Is a dumping ground, where all manner
of filth and trash is deposited. Extensive re-
pairs are needed, but the committee while
recommending these, calls the attention of the
Legislature to the fact that the prison is badly
located, and that it would be well to consider
this before making extensive improvements.
The committee conclude their report by urging
the building of main sewer to the river if the
prison is to be continued on the present site.
Drs Lomax and Fritsch visited the Prison
North, and found its sanitary condition excellent
The board also received reports from all the
county poor asyums in the State, and over one
third were reported in very bad condition.
About one fifth only were approved. The report
on the Marion county poor asylum found no
fault with its sanitary condition. 1t showed
that there are in the asylum sixty insane per-
sons, fifty-eight men and two women; seven
idiots, all males; fifteen epileptics, thirteen
men and two women.

ing last night, and organized for work for
the ensuing year. The president Key. o. G..
McCulloch, made few remarks. 1t was pleas

Miss Mary Nicholson spoke briefly on the po-

ganization as the key-word of the nineteenth
century. The division of labor is becoming
closer and closer. and this highly organized di-
vision has deadenine effect upon the human
spirit. Organization upon a higher plane. she
thought, would seem to be the only remedy-or-
ganization for spiritual and mental culture.
She spoke of the great work done by Chautau-
qua, and said that Plymouth Institute under
takes to be such guide to those desiring wider
intellectual and spiritual outlook.

4 REMARKABLE CHANGE

The coming of autumn, with its Fall
Fashions" is noted among the seasons
for feature wholly its own. It is then
that WRAPS for the frst time in the year
become novelty. One buys hats and
bonnets, gowns and gloves, and all other
articles of dress, at all seasons. But first
after the succession of warm weather
each year, the fall season comes with
WRAPS as a new Article of attire. This
fall we invite particular attention to the
Cloaks, Shawls and top garments of all
sorts which we have provided. We have
specimens of Paris handiwork according
to fashions latest decree, and in various
grades Of many kinds of WRAPS make
a display of which we have an abiding
belief that nothing in this market equals it.

now? Why, of course. All English
women have discarded the black ones
because the Princess of Wales no
longer appears in them, but wears
pure silk Balbriggan of snow-white
color. Her daughters follow her
lead and it would be rather difficult
to find woman of fashion in Lon
don to-day wearing black hosiery.
Black stockings make the feet look
smaller and do not soil so easily, and
for that reason they have remained
in favor a long time. This warm
weather, however, makes many con-
verts to the lighter colors, and now
that they are the more fashionable it
will not take long to turn the tide in
their favor.
Some of the newest white hosiery
are of the finest silk or Lisle thread,
with open work over the instep.
Others of the same material are
marked with dragon or snake in
black, gold, scarlet or some other Vi
vid color, and, while unique, these
are not at all beautiful. Tiny polka
dots, butter flies, bumble-bees and
forget-me-nots are scattered over
these new stockings, and others have
simulated anklets of silk embroidery
with rubies or sapphires fastened in
them. The cream Balbriggan arc
among the cheaper kinds, and art
considered far more comfortable ant
hoalthful than the jet black ones
which have had long and successful
reign, but must now abdicate in favor
of snow white.

Difference Between the Sexes.

A young man, when he goes out
into the world, can notlearn too soon,
if he would preserve his dignity, to
estimate women at their true worth,
to give them the place that nature in
tended them to occupy. The man
that, in his intercourse with women,
is too deferential, that makes himself
loo much their servant, in greater
or less degree, sacrifices his manliness,
and in proportion as he does this he
will fail to compass the end at which
he aims, ]. e., to please. One of the
first things young man has to learn
is the fact that there is more differ
ence between the two sexes intellect
ually than physically. Their minds,
like their figures, are smaller than
ours, less stable, less vigorous, less
determined, but more delicate, more
graceful, more impressionable.
