Close of the Festival.

The closing lecture in the series com
prising the May Festival was delivered
Thursday night by Rev. Samuel Goss, of
South Bend. His was pronoun ced by
some as having been the most profitable
given in the series. 1t certainly re-
ceived the closest attention and was
very instructive. The subject was new
to the platform in this place and its i'm
pressions will long remain with those
who heard it.
Savonarola was the greatest preacher
of his age, and as a statesman, repre-
senting the true meaning of politics, he
was the foremost man of his country
The reason of Savonarola's great sue
cess was that be stood for great truths
the emancipation of Italy, and the
reformation of the church-and his
soul was baptized with an inspired zeal
for these causes. The effect of this
great reformer's life had followed down
the years since, and was felt by our
his time had caught courage and mo-
mentum from his life. His life had BE-
come an inspiration for those who had
stood for great truths. The immedla!e
result of his preaching was moral re-
generation that affected the nation. But
his fearless course created enemies,
which in time multiplied, until senti-
ment, forming by agitation, became
strong enough to lay hold of this re
formers life. He was condemned with
out trial and his body burned to the
martyrs stake During the days of his
torture, when his prosecutors sought to
extort a confession which would in
criminate himself, he was unflir-chlng
as he had been in life, and only prayed,
In the periods as consciousness returned
in the intervals of his torture, "Father,
forgive them; they know not what they
do Thus passed from earth one of
the great heroes of the past, the influ-
ence of whose life has touched civiliza-
ton to the present day.
The musical part in this series of en-
tertainments is worthy of more ex-
tended notice than can be given in a
few lines. Plymouth has rare and gift
ed musical talent of which it may well
be proud. 1t is pleasant fact to re-
cord that this talent is not selfish, but
that our singers are willing to lend their
voices in the aid of any worthy enter
prise.
Such enterprises as the late lecture
course should be encouraged in our city.
Factories and business enterprises are
not the only essentials to the building
up of town. These intellectual and
moral enterprises should go hand in
hand with Industries in giving moral
tone and healthy sentiment, which form
the basis of the real prosperity of any
place.

LapOrte Man Gets Damages.

A jury in the federal court at Indian
apolis Thursday morning gave the Dor
land family of Lsporte judgement for
SO. 700 for the killing of George G. Dor
land In the Peru wreck several years
ago.
George Dorland was travelling on an
editorial pass, on the back OF which is q
contract exempting the company from
more than 500 damages in case of acct
dent He was killed in wreck at Peru
and the company holds it is not liable
for more than the 800 set forth in the
contract. The plaintiffs charge that the
company was negligent. Two cases for
damages in the same wreck have been
won by the company.

reached. The officers are adding the
amount of delinquent taxes, and they
subtract this from the total taxes, thus
arriving at the correct amount of taxes
paid. Formerly it was a custom to al
low one or more weeks time to pay
county taxes, but the Legislature passed
law giving this added time by deslg
mating the last day for payment to be
the first Monday in May. This crowds
the officers so that they cannot come
within the requirements of the law and
do the work after allowing additional
time.

TRIXIE Is CAUGHT.
A Notorious Young Woman Wanted by

A Notorious Young Woman Wanted by
Laporte County Omcers is Captured on
the Streets of Plymouth.
The notorious Trixie, young degeD-
ate, who has made herself offensive in
most of the towns of Northern Indiana,
and who is wanted on the charge OF
robbery by Laporte county officials, was
captured IN our streets Sunday. IT
will be remembered that the charge of
robbery referred explicitly to the taking
of watch from man, which she did
with all the skill and boldness of a
practised highwsyman. For that crime
she was tried and sentenced to two
years Imprisonment in the Woman's
Reformatory near indianapolis. While
on the way to the latter place she leap
ed from the car window and made good
her escape. Since then, she has been at
large, until the Occurance OF Sunday
night. 1t appears that one of her old
associates saw her in town, Sunday,
in company with two men in covered
wagon. The news, once put atloat soon
reached the ears of our officers who head
ed off the wagon just as 1t had started
for parts unknown. At first "Trixie'
denied her identity, but finally she ac-
knowedged the lie and went peacefully
to Jail. She was met by the sheriff of
Lsporte county Monday and taken
to her destination, the same where jus
tice sentenced her last year. Trixie
was once domestic in the Foley man
sion of this city.

Saw Meteor at Mishawaka.

During a rainstorm at Mishawaka
Friday night a meteor passed over the
city about IL o'clock, which left a
continuous train of white in the sky for
more than an hour, after which it disap-
peared. The train is said to be of uni
form width and as straight as an arrow,
and the display disappeared as sudden
IL as it came. Persons who saw the
meteor in It's flight heard sound SINH

Senator Mason, of Illinois is secured, as
he probably will be, to deliver the ora

all over the state, and a great deal of
money will be left in our midst. The
present effort will be a test of the gen.
