Marshall County independent. (Plymouth, Marshall County, Ind.) 1897-1902, 1898-08-19

Hon. IL. q. Thayer was not favored
with large audience Tuesday evening
though il was an appreciative one. This
was partially due from the fact that the
evening was quite warm and partially
because the subject selected by the
speaker was similar to his popular lee
ture which most people in the city and
country had already heard.
But those who attended were given
rare treat. While some of the descrip-
tions were recognized as a part of the
lecture which has given Mr.. Thayer a
state prominence, they were supple
mented with an easy, off-hand, jocose
prelude that kept the audience in ex-
ceptionally good spirits. Mr.. Thayer
seemed somewhat inclined to sarcasm
when he began his lecture, no doubt
because of the lack of interest which
he had not anticipated on the part of
the teachers, and apparently felt dis
position to curry the vanity of the in
structors, if they were at all vain. 1t
is mystery if these instructors could
feel themselves any more engrossed in
after the speakers preliminary remarks.
However, the speaker was as discreet
as he was cunning Like the repentant
assailant who knocks down an antagon-
ist, he lifted them up and in language
with which few people are gifted made
them feel that God in his wisdom had
not created them in vain
Mr.. Thayer told how variously men
became educated, some in high schools,
some in colleges, some in universities,
some by reading, some by travel. All
educated men are great factors for good,
but the greatest of them all is the man
who becomes educated independent of
schools. He thought the observant man
who has travelled in the old world has
great advantage over those not so fa-
vored Mr.. Thsyer told of his expert
ence at Marseilles, Genoa, Rome and
other historic points. His descriptions
of the magnificent scenery at these
places was grand, and as explanatory of
the misconception of the Americans as
to the inhabitants of Italy, the speaker
referred to the great Garibaldi, Savan-
aroli, Michael Angelo and others that
Italy has produced. In the knOwl-
edge of these mems works and at
tainments, 20 one should refer to Italy
as a nation of organ. grinders.
In his description of the ascent of
Vesuvius and the ruins of Herculaneum
and POmpeii, the speaker certainly ac-
complished his purpose-tbat of inspir-
ing an almost irresistible desire on the
part of his hearers 70 sail forthwith to
this land of historic renOwn.
The lecture was delightful through
out and those present are guessing
now how much better Mr.. Thayer
would have succeeded if he had made
the speech be had intended to make"
At the close The audience was taken
into the confidence of the speaker who
told joke at his own expense, an in
stance when he became lost among the
princes and princ-ess's.

u. IL. Picnic.

The United Brethren Sunday school
held their picnic Tuesday at Twin
lakes. They report fine time. The
dinner was one of the best ever served
at a picnic. There were nearly one
hundred and fifty on the grounds. The
little tots had joyous time splashing
and wading In the lake. Swimming and
boat riding was also a part of the sport
enjoyed by the crowd. Mr.. Nichols did
all he could to make it pleasant for the
picnicers.

Warsaw, Ind, Aug. 16.-Nine ice
houses belonging to the j. Ii. Cisney
Ice company were burned to the ground
at $50 o'clock this morning.
These houses were situated on the
east bank of Center lake, just north
of this city, and contained several
thousand dollars worth of ice. Severa
box cars belonging to the Big -Four
Railway company were also burned
which were standing on sidetrack
nearby. Owing to hose being laid
across the track, the north and south
bound passenger trains were held here
for nearly an hour.
How the fire originated is mystery
The total loss will reach $1,000, with
but $1,000 insurance on the ice.

sanitary conditions at Fernandina are
the best, but there is much sickness in
