Marriage Under difficulties.

When young New Englanders in the
early days of the colony wished to en-
ter the state of matrimony, they did not
find il any too easy work. In the first
place. no young man would make a
motion Of marriage to any young wOm-
an whose fair face or def fingers or
sweet disposition had attracted mis-
fancy or his affections without first OBJ
tanning the consent of the fair ones
father or guardian to thus address her.
He was liable to arrest, fine or imprison-
ment If he spoke to her first and thus
''inveigled her affections"
Many a bold and headstrong swain
was punished for that natural offense in
early days, and 1 doubt not many an,
other slyly inveigled. unpublished and
undiscovered, in order TO find out from
her own lips the state of affection borne
toward him by the one he loved. 1t
must have been somewhat of a damper
on lovemaking TO have to make such a
formal beginning. but there was no lack
of marriages.
Indeed single persons were much
scOrned in the Puritan community. An
cient maids" were few and much to be
pitied. Bachelors were looked upon with
open disfavOr, were not allowed to live
alone and sometimes had TO pay week.

COLUMBUS. Sept. 22.-Special.-The
Hon. II. c. Bell of Illinois spoke to
large and attentive meeting OF voters
here tonight.
John c. Robinson. who was billed to
speak also. was sick and did not come.
The speaker was introduced by II. Full
wider, chairman Of the county central
committee. He outlined the issues before
the psOp.e in full and said the tariff was
OF paramount interest. 1t had been dis
cusSed thoroughly in 1890 and in 1892 and
the result was an Overwhelming MAORI
ty. The people, he said. had condemned
the Mckinley tariff. He showed the diff
ference between II and the Wilson bill,
and admonished democrats to stand by
their cOlors until the repeal Of the Sher-
man Jaw and the passage Of the Wilson
tariff had been fruit. Already business
is reviving and the outlook for better
times growing from day TO day.
The speech was delivered in clear and
concise language and was replete with
facts that were convincing and incon-
trovertib.e.

A Protection Against DOES.

A Saratoga county clergyman has dis
covered a method of protection against
the attacks of strange dogs. He was
walking a street one day when a large
and apparently ferocious canine came
toward him, growing and showing his
teeth and otherwise giving evidence of a
disposition to do him bodily harm. Al
attempts to drive the animal away proved
futile At last a happy idea struck the
reverend gentleman. and he proceeded 10
put 1t into execution. He carried an UNI
brel,a. which he opened suddenly in the
face of the dog. The belligerent attitude
of the dog changed instantly. and putting
his tail between his legs, he skunk away.
Whenever after that the clergyman was
compelled to pass that way and the dog
was in evidence, the latter kept at a safe
distance and never even so much as
barked or growled at the passerby. The
clergyman has tried the experiment with
many other dogs since that time and re-
ports that 1t never has failed to put the
animals to flight. no matter how ugly
they appeared 10 be. The umbrella de-
Tense is certainly worth remembering if
one carries the umbrella.-Albany Ex-

address and was repeatedly cheerd His
exposure of the fallacious arguments of

monstrosity in such h.deous light that

BLOOMINGTON, Sept. 22.-Speclal.-
Congressman w. D. Bynum opened the
campaign here this afternoon, speaking
two hours to an audience that packed the
court room. He graduated here twenty
five years ago, and this was his first
political speech delivered here since his
graduation. He made a speech that will
do much good, giving a thorough account
Of the legislation accomplished by the
democratic party under the administrl-
ton of President Cleveland. His arraign-
ment Of the republican party for its con-
nectiOn with trusts and mOnCpOlies was
an exceedingly able one. and when he
called for a single republican in the audi
ence to publicly say that he would own
that he was a protectionist not a voice
was heard. The democrats were elatad
over the success of the meeting. The
Hon John r. East presided and made one

of Interest Is Visited by the ThrOngs
The Awards of Premiums Local
Exhibits.

Wednesday was really the opening day
of the state fair. so far as the people of
the state are concerned, and they turned
out as never before. Fifteen thousand
would be a conservative estimate upon
the attendance for the day. They began
arriving in droves on the early trains
and by noon the streets of the city were
crowded. Cars for the far were packed
until O'clock and by 1 o'clock the at
tendance on the grounds was enormous.
As soon as the races began the grand
stand filled up and when the gong sound
ed for the first race there were no
vacant chairs in the amphitheater.
The races were all that could have
been desired and were appreciated. The
several buildings, stables, barns, pens
and departments were crowded all day
and the attendants We're kept busy from
early till late.
In the show ring the afternoon was de-
voted TO awarding premiums on horses,
cattle and sheep, the amphitheater facing
the ring being partially filled all after
noon. The exhibits in these departments
were especially fine and admirers Of fine
stock had plenty upon which to feast
their eyes and about which to pass
admiring comments Awards were also
made in the women's building and
among the exhibits of the children.
The great exhibits in the mechanical
department were not neglected by the
crowd and the machinery was sur
rounded by interested spectators. Farm
ers were busy mastering the details and
workings of the new labor-saving devices
that are being shown, the corn-husker5
being especially interesting as novel and
useful. The fair is now an assured sue
cess and the management has reason 10

were at their best. and much good will
result from their efforts. They defended
the work Of the democrats in congress
and proved to all that for lasting and
beneficial work for the people the las
much-abused congress was away ahead
Of any of its immediate and many of its
remote predecessors. They spoke at
length upon the tariff question, admitting
that the new law was not what was de-
sired. but a grand stride in the right di-
rectiOn and a wonderful improvement
over McF<i1leyism. The beneficial iegIs-
latiOn Of Indiana democratic legislators
for the people in general. and the labor
ing classes in particular. were pointed
out, and were Warmly applauded and
approved by the audiences. The new

and the beautiful and spacious room,
with its decorations. the hotel orchestra
and suitable ushers. We're generously ten

unity with which the meeting adopted a
resolution of thanks. offered by Chair
man Buskirk at the conclusion Of Mr..
Bynum's able and eloquent address.

the largest and most enthusiast: demo-
cratic conventions in the history of the
party in Howard county met in this city
this afternoon and put a full ticket in
the field, headed by William Allen Quick
for representative. The report had been
circulated that the out-township demo-
Gratis were Of strong popullstlc leaning
and would attempt 10 force fusion with
the popullst party. This story had been
50 vigorously worked that even the lead
ers in this city were deceived, and for
time fusion was seriously considered by
some Of them. Much to the surprise of
all the democrats We're first and
most emphatic in their demand for a
straight ticket. Ringing resolutions in
Endorsement of Cleveland and Matthews
were adOpted.

FRANKLIN, Sept. 22.-Special-The
Hon. Jason B. Brown Of Seymour opened
the democratic campaign in this city to-
day.
He spoke at the court house to a large
audience upon the political issues OF the
day and reviewed at length the work of
the last congress. He carefully went
over the Wilson biz and dealt especially
with the sugar Clause. He gave many
tables Of figures, which he used to prove
the fallacy or the reasoning OF republican
speakers. This district, the Fifth con-
gressi1nal, has been claimed by both
parties, but it is the expression Of many
that If few more speakers in the ma
ture Of Browns address are given the
doubtful feature will be eliminated
y large number in the audience were
farmers, and without an exception they
all agreed that Mr.. Brown had made a
most auspicious opening for the demo-
cratic party in this city.
