Mrs. Lucy Carter Cushing's 92d birthday
| anniversary was informally observed on
| Monday by neighbors to the number of
| about 30, who called during the after
| noon to offer congratulations and leave
| their names upon her birthday autograph
| book presented by one of her grandchild-
| rem. Members of some families who call
| ed represented four generations, who had
| been friends of Mrs Cushing. Mrs
| Cushing could recall members of five
| generations in other families whom she
| had known. The oldest caller to leave an
| autograph was Mr.. Samuel Glide Brown
at the age of SS1s years. Mr. Brown
| walked two miles to tender his congratu-
| lations. The youngest caller was Stuart
| Danforth, just one year old on the same
| day. A sentiment in the little birthday
| book spoke for many: Hearty congratu-
| lations for your overcoming of years
nearly to a century, for your capacity to
| enjoy life, your faith in God and hu-
manity, and your Christian trust in the
| future"
| Rev. r. f. Danforth united with the
| pastors of the south part of this town
1
| Evansville on Thursday of last week, by
which all the town was represented, hence
| our local memorial observation of Presi-
| dent McKinley's death was by Sunday
mornings service at the Congregational
| church. The house was we'll filled and
| the service was of much interest. Mr.
| Danforth's sermon was founded on the
| words in Genesis: In the secret of thy
| face shalt thou eat bread till thou return
unto the ground" He paid tribute to
| the moral and Christian forces of Presi-
dent McKiney's character, and dwelt
| upon his capacity and inclination for
work and energy. The speaker applied
these characteristics in their relation to II
successful life, and sought to bring out
the thought that lack of working pur-
poseful energy has a relation to events
| which have led to anarchy in our coun-
| try. Mrs. A. w. Pratt sang a solo, the
very appropriate sentiments of which
were inspired by the text beginning, Not
a sparrow falleth to the ground"
