Bloomington.

Died at his home near Seattle, Wash
ington, of brain fever, Edwin n. Austin,
aged about thirty years. Seldom are
we called upon to chronicle death
which causes more sadness in com.
munity than the death of this young
man. He was born and reared on a
farm about two miles from town, where
his parents still reside. Bright. kind
hearted and affectionate he easily won
his way into the hearts of all with
whom he came in contact. Being quick
to learn he early acquired a superior
education and chose teaching as his
profession. This he followed very sue
sessfully for time, but being naturally
very delicate in health, the confinement
was more than he could endure and lie
thought he would take trip to the Pa
citic coast Accordingly, about five
years ago he started for Seattle, the
boom of that place then being at its
height. Being skillful carpenter he
soon found plenty of employment and
invested his earnings in real estate.
Twice he was brought very near deaths
door by sickness but recovered, and
seemed stronger than usual. Last De-
cember he was married to young lady
of that city, who is thus early called to
mourn the loss of a loving and devoted
husband. AS soon as word was re-
ceived of his dangerous illness, his
father, N. Austin, started to see him.
but did not reach him in time to see
him alive. He leaves a wife, father,
mother, sister and \ two brothers
to mourn his early death In their
deep sorrow they have the heartfelt
sympathy of the entire community.
The Bloomington Encampment, ].
o. o. f. held very enjoyable meeting

The chief disputant3 were Sam Kitto,
Affirmative, and Carl Gordon. negative.
They were ably assisted by w. II.
Glasier and p. BARLEY. After mature
deliberaiion it was decided that the
islands had better be annexed. Sam
spent most of the day Friday writing |
letter to President Cleveland informing
him Of the decision and advising him as
to the best policy to pursue.

A Sermon Exchange.

The latest enterprise which we hear
announced in the young and e%nterpris-
ing west is the Sermon exchange" Of
Chicago. According to popular belief
the practice Of clergymen has been to
write sermons until they had filled q
barrel. Then the barrel would be turned
upside down and the III all
preached over again. Where a minister
remained in church q great many years
the congregation would after awhile be-
gin to know when the barrel was turned.
Some sermons were looked forward to
with much interest and others with more
or less dismay. The Sermon exchange
is to do away with all of this. It is no
longer necessary to preach a sermon over
a second time. The preacher can take
an old sermon and tie twenty-five cents
to it. This he sends to the exchange and
receives one written by some n else
by return mail. or if he has no sermon to
send he can get one for fifty cents. Bal

Editors may find some consolation in
the fact that they have inspired feelings
of envy in the breasts Of young Japa-
nese boy. A recent issue Of an East In
dian paper contained the following note:
IA schoolboy in Loerabaya was asked
to describe an editor of a paper. He did
so in this way: An editor is the luckiest
mar in the world. He can go to a cir
Gus every afternoon and every evening
without paying a cent. He a go also
to the court houses. the places Of execu-
ton and the races.
He has free tickets to all theaters. re-
ceives presents at his Office, and gets his
ears boxed too. He goes also to Prigen,
Malang or Lawang (places of muse
ment). He does not do this often. how
ever. In one paper he can deny every
thing that was said in the previous one,
and he does so. as a rule. When other
people are already in bed. the editor is
still up. He stays up late to see what
happens. When l grow big l shall be-
come an editor. Then | can stay up
too"

The propriety of endowing daughters
appears to be now seriously discussed in
different parts of the country. This
arises partly out of a growing sense of
justice. which. the philosophers say, is
the last sentiment to he developed in the
case of women. and partly out of the
commercial exigencies which in the last
twenty years have left stranded so many
women with no means of livelihood.
The endowment of daughters would ac-
complish several ends. 1t would enable
them to marry the men of their choice,
it would support them if they do not
marry. and in case of commercial disas-
ter would furnish ut least temporary
provision for the family The matter
has progressed until the methods of en-
dowments in different countries are un-
der advisement..
According to Sir Henry Maine it was
the passing of the Roman dowry into
France after the conquest of Gaul that
has made of France the richest and most
prosperous Of nations. 1t is unlikely,
however. desirable as it might be. that
the frugality and self denial the hum
blest Frenchman practices to lay aside
his daughters dowry will appeal to a
nation accustomed to easy living and a.
impatient for swift results as this.-New

Shinnecocks shared in the occupations of
the white people and acquitted them
selves with great credit. allude to the

blood or half breed, made an exact sailor.
The discipline of the %forecastle was good
for him. at least SO long as he was afoat.
Many of them got to be mates, and one
became a captain. This distinguished
sailor man was not a pure bred Indian,
but was part negro. and probably had a
small though potential quantity Of white
blood. This was Captain Lee. and any
one down toward Southampton or Sag
Harbor can tell of his giant stature and
immense strength. This Captain Lee
was the son of a still more famous man,

boy was playing with a tin cup. catch

ing it along a rut in the floor. The water
ran along this rut ont onto the cistern
platform. While he was STOPPING to fill
the cup from the rain pipe u flash Of
lightning came, seemingly attracted by
the iron cistern pump. The current
leaped from the pump to the current of
water that ran along the porch and
flashed along its course to the end.

very far, but when he came up he had
his mouth open. and somehow or other
he came up with n jaw on the port
