1t Is to be noted that every great excite
ment or political revulsion floats in a great
number OF these new men, nearly all Of
whom float out again on the ebb tide, but
here and there one remains and becomes
statesman OF national fame. IL does not,
however, prove want of ability for "A man
to remain here for one term only. Men OF
really commanding talents have come 70

OF the great political revulsions which

and of all those new members who after
so long a contest succeeded in placing Nat

rity was apparently reached in 1862, when
the reaction against Linooln's war policy

gress
1t is matter for laughter or signs, as
ones personal temperament may incline,
10 look over the list and note the names
of the once mighty men who hurled phi
lippios against the war party and note how
completely most of them have passed out
of the popular mind. The end Of the war
produced small wave in the opposite di-
rection, and the great revulsion Of 1874
proved an exception TO the general rule be
cause so many of the men tioated into con
gress by the tidal wave of that year were
really old southern statesmen who had
been In temporary retirement owing to
circumstances beyond their control-to

Of all came the truly marvellous revulsion
Of 1890, but il would take several columns

In London, in Leadenhall street, there Is
a church bearing the strange name OF st.
Andrew Uudershaft-a name that would
not be Ineligible 10 any one without a
knowledge Of tie history Of the locality.
1t seems that some 400 years ago every
May day high shaft or pole was set up op-
posite the south door Of St. Andrews and
adorned with flowers. So tall was the pole
IL was actually higher than the church stee-
pie, which was therefore literally under the
shaft Now, there being several churches

described as Undershaft 20 prevent IL from

Thus Is IL that In the name Of a still ex-
isting church is preserved an interesting bit
Of bygone history which otherwise would
probably have passed away forever.-New

THE CHRYSANTHEMUM SHOW.
The Pleasing Success Winds Up with
Auction.

There was another large attendance at
the chryanthemum show yesterday. The
ice house. or palace. as every one seems
to desire to call it, was in almost perfect
condition. With the electric lights inside
it looked like a crystal house. The special
designs for which there were premiums
were placed in the Enclosure near the
house. This, with the orchestra on the
stage, took most Of the people to that end
of the hall. The designs were a table
piece, the prize given by the Denison. The
piece was a large round, low basket; fine
ferns were the border; then there was a
row of white carnations, all loosely set in.
Testout roses. with more ferns, and nod

To-day is auction day at the chrysan-

10 cents. All the flowers and plants will
be for sale to the highest bidder. This is
usually one of the most interesting days
of the exhibit. Most every one goes early
to get the choice of flowers, and hundreds
will be seen coming from Tomlinson Hall

TWO STRONG GRIDIRON RIVALS.


The football game this afternoon between
Butler University and DePauw University
at the East Ohio-street ball park promises
20 be OF more interest TO the general pub
lie than any game yet played here this sea-
son. n two teams are perhaps more
evenly matched than any others in the
State, for they have each beaten the other
by small scores at different times. Two
years ago their game was called a draw be-
cause the crowd surged out on the field and
retarded the game. although it was then
too dark 10 see the ball. The score was in
Buffers favor. but the association decided
that the game last year should decide both
scores and DePagw won. Therefore the
Butler boys Will make an extra effort 10
win the game to-day. Both teams have
played Indiana University and Rose Poly
technic Institute. and Butler has beaten
each by a larger score than that OF DePauw.
DePauw was defeated by the Light Artil-
lery team 46 TO 5, while that teams score
with Butter was only 10 TO o. j. NJ Flint,
