our local "shirkers:"
eve boast in America OF the bal.
lot.box-the assured and guarded
opportunity of each citizen to stand
up and be counted on all public
questions. This, we hold, is the dis
tinctive mark OF free country, and
we are all supposed to prize it and
to hold ourselves responsible for the
exercise OF the prerogatives it ac-
cords. But we are confronted by a
grave danger in the unaccountable
Indifference of host Of otherwise
good citzsns to the privilege, or
as we ought to think of 1.-THE su-
preme duty of depositing our bal
lots when public problems are to be
solved. Take the approaching cleo
tion as an example. 1t is estimated
that registration for the exceedingly
important Presidential election is
10000 short of what it ought to be
at this date in San Francisco. The
decisions OF the ballot box this fall
are Of immense Importance, involv-
ing great questions of finance, Of
national procedure, and of interna-
tional policy. Yet here are 10000
San Francisco voters who appear to
be utterly careless OF their duty in
an hour OF the nations emergency.
They show no sign that they give so
much as thought to what is going
On or that they propose to-have any
jice in determining the insistent
i'aues Of the campaign. Who are

birds of various species. Nothing

the last two years, except English

killed or driven away every Ameri-

Now the time has come for the
American bird to he protected from

she LOVED AT FIRST.
A Friend Tells of Mrs. Marco
and willard Hutchinson.

The following interesting facts
concerning the courtship and mar
riage of Mr.. Willard II. Hutchinson
and Mrs. Cornelius b. Marco, which
took place in Richmond on last St.
Valentines Day, were learned from
Mr.. George @. Hodges, of the Chicago
Record.
Mr.. Hodges has known both many
years and has often been entertained
by them.
He has watched for some time the
roll Cupid has played with the couple,
but was surprised to know that the
match had been made.
A year and half ago, possibly,
Mrs. Marco, as she was at that time,
met young Hutchinson. 1t was at
the invitation of Mr.. Marco that
Willard Hutchinson dined with them
at the Buckingham Hotel in New
York city, and from that time a
strong affection has existed between
the two. She being woman of
more than three score and ten and he
handsome youth, scarce more than
twenty, the friends of the couple for
time considered their fondness for
each other no more than the affection
that exists between a mother and a
son. And, indeed, she looked upon
Willard as son.
In short while after meeting
Willard Hutchinson, Mrs. Marco
entered suit for divorce from her
husband, which was granted, though
it is said it cost her $50, 700. But
little did she consider the cost, as
her enormous income is more than
she can spend and her interest in
Willard was growing with each
delay in the courts proceedings. The
time the suit was pending, Mrs,
Marco vibrated as a pendulum
betwixt tear and a smile-between
New York and her home in Toronto
Canada. Willard would see hel
while in New York, and at her ex-
pense would make brief visits into
the land of the Queen.
And so things went on; the divorce
was granted, and soon she persuaded
Willard to give up the stage (for he
was beginning to twinkle as a star
IN his chosen profession), which he
was perfectly willing to do with the
prospects of $3,000,000 before him.
Elegant dinners were often given
by Mrs. Marco to Willard and his
friends, aud, in fact, she humored
his every whim. He dressed in the
best of style, they travelled much
together and had been on southern
tour when they stopped in Rich.
mond and were married.
The marriage, which was only an
nounced in New York and Boston
last week, created great stir among
the society people in those cities, aE
both are of most prominent families,
Though Mrs. Hutchinson had been
married three times prior to her last
marriage, she has only been divorced
once. Her first husband, from whom
she inherited much of her fortune
was Colonel Thomnkins, of New
York. She has always been one OF
the first in the society of that city

lExtract from Speech OF ST. G. r. FltzhughI
Every school-boy and every school
girl in our country is familiar with
the history Of Pocahontas and Capt.
John Smith, and our history records
that right here, on this spot, Capt.
John Smith repulsed the Indians in
160S, so that we can claim that the
struggle for the establishment of
Anglo-Saxon civilization and suprem-
acy of this continent commenced
right Lere. If we should drawa circle
around this old town, within radius
of less than 80 miles, we should find
the birthplace of George Washington,
Thomas Jefferson, James Madison,
James Monroe, Zachary Taylor, Chief
Justice John Marshall, of the Lees
OF the Revolution, Patrick Henry,
Henry Clay, Mathew Maury and
Robert E.sLee. If we should extend
it but little we would find within
those limits the birthplace Of Will
liam Henry Harrison, John Tyler
and Winfield Scott. And we should
also find within it the birthplace of
the Republic at Yorktown. Now,
tell me, my friends, where is there
any other similar segment space so
resplendent with stars of the first
magnitude as those / have mentioned!
Right here the boyhood and youth of
George Washington was spent, and
here he was trained for his transcen-
dent career, and it was to this town,
the humble home of his mother, that
he came, when the war was over, to
lay his laurels at her feet. Bot there
are other memories of historic type
suggested by this locality which come
closer home to our hearts, however
sad, that time cannot pale.
THE CARNAGE IN sPoTsYLvANIA.
Here, in this city, within Is miles
of fredericksburg, in Spotsylvania
county, more great armies maneuyer-
ed, more great battles were fought
more men were killed and wounded
than upon any other similar territory
in the world. More men fell in the
little county of Spotsylvania during
the four years of the Civil War than
Great Britain has lost in all her wars
for century, aud more men were
killed and wounded in the -four
hours at the battle of Fredericksburg
than Great Britain has lost in heI
war in South Africa. When the
fog lifted its curtain from the bleak
waste around fredericksburg on the
morning of the 18th of December
1862, the sun flashed down upon q
spectacle of terrible sublimitv, and

ton, with nothing to obscure their
ranks from view. Over the plains
swept by "a. .remorseless and terrible
fire of protected infantry and artil.
lery they went, as to which General
Alexander had said on the evening
before, that not a chicken could live
when his guns opened on that plain
And so it was.

altars, one crowned with the Blessed
Virgin, the other with st. Joseph,
the patron saint OF the church, cost
SO 600. The high altar has before
it six great candlesticks, each Of
which cost $50. The railing, sep
arating the sanctuary from the
church auditorium is of onyx and
brass, that cost 81 600. The other
decorations are proportionate in ex-
pense and beauty.
When Father Maute died he had
failed to make any provision for
properly heating and lighting the
vast structure. At present candles
are used for the illumination, but
soon the building will be properly
equipped with electricity.
The congregation of st. Joseph's
includes $50 families or about

of Jasper there are 80 per cent. OF
the inhabitants Catholics, and Du-
bois county is in the strongest Cath
olic district in the state. They have
made many sacrifices to construct
this magnificent edifice. The mon.
astery at St. Meinrad has received
considerable aid from the: Q people.
1t is thought that the aggregate
amount Of Catholic property in the
county Of Dubois is 81 ,00O, 900.
A strong branch of the G. X. Of

The Courier is in receipt OF the
premium list Of the Huntingburg
Fair, which occurs Sept. 10 to 10.
The Argus says the management OF
the fair is already quite active ma
king arrangements for this impor-
tant annual event. Special efforts
are being made to bring some Of the
very best attractions the country
affords free each day. This was in
the nature of an experiment last
year, but was so highly appreciated d
by the public that it will be enlarg-
ed this year. TWAS real pleasure
at the fair last year TO see bow con-
spicuous all kinds Of gambling we're

will very properly be rigidly ensorc-
ed This year. Anyone having any
kind OF gambling device need not
apply for room inside the gates.
There are many reasons that
point to the fair Of 1900 as being
the best in its history. Don't for
get the time and if you are desirous
of any information on the matter {

Mr.. Hugo G. Rothert, will receive

Cremeries OF Late Date.

Prior to 1872 no such thing as
creamery or butter factory had been
known. The small farmers Of New
England, who were well provided
with pure water, mountain pastures
and other favorable conditions, had
provided the cities with small per-
centage Of good butter at an early
date, and Herkimer and Orange
Counties, New York, extended the
art and developed great interest in
cheese as we'll as butter making.
The Western reserve Of Ohio follow
ed these, and in this limited area
prior to 1872, was produced all the
fine butter worth naming. All the
butter coming from the great West
was denominated in the markets as
''Western grease"
Think Of all the Fox River coun.
ty Of Illinois and its broad prairies
everywhere, likewise Iowa, whose
butter and cheese product today,
added to the home consumption,
equals s5O,OCO,OOO. Think Of all
this being the lowest grade Of stuff.
But in 1872 John Stewart, Of Man
chester, Ia, invented a creamery.
The world had never known a butter
factory. On Spring branch, where
there was plenty of spring wat er, he
built building and began to buy
the milk from his neighbors. In
1876 he showed up at Philadelphia,
and took the worlds prize for fine
butter. 1t opened everybody's
eyes, and it opened up new resour.
