1t is related by the Elkhart Review
that a Young GoShenite who desired to
come to see an Elkhart young lady
Saturday evening and had an engage

his business acumen by The manner
in which he secured transportation to
the rural home. Late Saturday night
he was told at a livery barn that it
would cost him 81 for a rig. He went
to doctor and asked how much cash
would be required to make a call ia

Marshall County Pioneer,

During the past ten days the South
Bend Tribune has been canvassing the
list Of St. Joseph county pioneers and
can find no one living there who came
to the county prior to March 1887.
Marshall county was settled several
years later than St. Joseph county but
we have many old settlers living who
have been here longer than the Trib-
une's oldest settler.
The oldest of the living pioneers
that we now recall are David L. Glib.
son, of Center township, and Charles
w. Morgan, of North township, who
came here IN 1884.
OF those who came here In 1885 and
are still living, we recall ellison s.
Cleaveland, now in his 9lst year, Riley
yanvactor, Thomas X. Houghton,
John and Serena Jacoby, Lewis and
Robert Beagles, Norman S. Wood.
ward Miles Vanyactor and Mrs. Zeno.
bra Russell.
Among those now living who were
in this county in 1886 are: Hon. Dan.
lei Mcdonald, Platt Nc Donald, Joseph
and Thomas Miner, Martha Hibbs,
w. e. and A. c. Thompson, B. f.
Head, Joseph Evans, Smith Pomeroy,
some of the Voreis and Brownlee fam
lilies and others that we cannot name.
There are many residents of the
county who have been here over 81
years. The two men who have prob
ably been here longest are David l..
Gibson add Charles w. Morgan men,
toned above.
ellison S. Cleaveland, of this city,
who came here In 1885, and is now
over 80 years old, is probably the old
est man Of the pioneers.

There's smile that won't come of
today, and it extends all the way
from Charleston to San Antonio. 1t
is caused by the announcement that
the terrified negroes are sfieeing for
safety from Indiana to Kentucky. |"
We have had good deal to say up
here in the north, aud with voices
trembling with horror and Indignation
about the outrageous treatment of
negroes down south but with the rec
ollectlon of-the outbreaks in Illinois,
Indiana and Delaware, and with the
fact before Us that the negroes are
seeking safety among the very people
whom we have regarded as their per-
secutors, it may be advisable for us to
suspend judgment and let the south
"work out the problem in its own
way. We commend the colored
brother to the hospitality Of Kentucky,
and we ask for him an asylum and .
refuge until our hot northern blood
has cooled sufficiently to allow him to
return to Indiana. Chicago Post.

According to the st. Louis Globe
Democrat the $4,000 creditors of a
turf investment concern who deposited
some SO, $4,000 Herewith, will get
about per cent. of their money when
the receiver closes up his business.
OF course. most of those II, 900 dupes
were people who had only small saw
ing or such as had no experience in
handling money. These are always
the readiest to believe the seductive
advertisements OF sharpers promising
100 per cent. per anuum or more, and
to scorn the advice of men who tell
them that the safest and best place
for their money is the savings bank or
a real-estate investment which pays
only or per cent.

Some immigration Evils.

OF the immigrants who landed at
the port of New York during the six
months from January to June $50
have already become public charges
in New York City, according to the
statement of Commissioner General
Sargent of the bureau Of immigration.
This single fact, unsupported by any
other, should be sufficient to make it.
clear that the hospitality which the
United State offers to aliens is being
abused, and that the time for stricter
laws has come.
But this fact is merely straw float
ing on the surface. The $50 public
charges are but handful among the
hordes of undesirables who have man.
aged to slip through the bars. Com
missioner Sargent is now making an
investigation into the number of aliens
detained in the penal, reformatory
and charitable institutions of the
country. and already he is said to
have learned enough to make him con-
fident that his report on the subject
will startle the country.
The immigration inspectors are
doing everything in their power to
enforce the existing laws against
pauper, diseased and vicious aliens.
They deported s,769 aliens last year.
But against the operations of many
agencies interested only in the guam
tity and not at all in the quality of
the immigrants they often find them
selves powerless.-Chicago Record

Heads OF the different railways oper-
ating through Indiana have begun to
get figures togethe on the wheat yield.
Some Of them find that the yield in
sections is a little better than they
figured on, but the aggregate Of their
figures shows that in comparison with
other years there viii be little wheat
to move this year. They also report
that the corn crop is not all promising.
It is estimated that the shipping crop
of wheat to go out Of the state this
year will not be over half what it
usually is and that corn shipments
will not run much o9er half. Most Of
the grain VIII be needed at home.

The report comes from Ft. Sill. /.
T. that old Geronimo and dozen of
bis Apache warriors, who are held
there; have been converted and have
joined the Methodist church. This
band includes some of the most des-
perate Indian fighters now living, but
their record as warriors does not nee
essarily imply that they are especially
depraved. What started them on the
warpath was being detected in manu-
featuring a native whiskey, while on
an Arizona reservation. They fed to
escape punishment, and fought to keep
their liberty. Such changes Of heart
as this are rot uncommon among In
dams. Some Of the companions Of
Captain Jack, the celebrated Modoc
chief, accepted RELIGION and became
quite noted as preachers.

The Cars Excellence.

A report comes from Russia to con-
firm the tribute to the Cars excell-
ence as man which appears in secre-

ported by a Russian paper that the
Gar has abolished the harsheSt forms
of corporal punishment which have
survived from days of barbarism, such
as castigation with cudgels and CATO
nine tails to the extent of death.
Though they are replaced with pun
ishments which seem severe to US,
their abolition is striking proof Of
the growth of humane ideas in Russia

Union Services.

The 6rSt service of the union SER
vices of the churches was held Sunday
night at the Methodist church. Rev.
J. E. Hartman Of the Reformed
church preached.
His text was Matt. 1876. For this
peoples hearts is waxed gross, and
their ears are dull of hearing and their
eyes they have closed; lest at any time
they should see with their eyes. and
hear with their ears, and should un-
derstand with their heart, and should
be converted and / should heal them. -
Mr.. Hartman first expressed his
pleasure at being able to speak in a
united effort, stating that the time
had come for the walls of denomina-
tionalism to crumble away and for the
churches to press together toward the
common good.
The sermon was one of the most
eiuiCi3 ohu uluOu nCCuCd dioSouioCc
which has ever been delivered to a
representative audience of Plymouth
people.
He said that the heart of this peo-
pie is waxed gross in several ways.
Concerning one of the evils he said
Each Sunday while / stand under
God in my pulpit yonder, almost with
in the very sound of my voice is a
brothel trafficking IN the precious souls
of youth-your sons and your daugh-
ters." He then touched upon the rot
tenness OF politics with some very
pointed remarks. But these evils we
see. Another and viler condition of
society was then approached. That
which pertains to individual impurity,
some Of our sons and daughters are
not without blemlsh. There exists a
state of looseness in society in morals
which is very APPALLING.
The marital relation is not pure
and undeiled in many homes in Plym-
0ath.
He then spoke about the awful
practice Of abortion which is rife in
the city.
1t takes stamina and grace to de-
liver to representative people such
sermon as Mr.. Hartman delivered. BE
is to be heartily thanked for touching
upon these very evils which are max
ing our city and churches and homes
so powerless in Christian warfare.
But amidst all this uncleanness
there is remedy. 1t must come
thro' individual heart purity.
This purity this redemption is for
those who desire it. His closing quo
tation was ssCome now let us reason
together-tho' your SINS be as scarlet
they shall be as white as snow-tho'
they be red like crimson, they shall be
as wool. -

How the "Lamb" ESCAPED.

For once it is not the "lamb" who
has come to grief in Wall street. This
is conceded on all sides.
Everybody agrees that the public,
which is another name for the "lamb"
is not in the market and has not been
for several months. 1t is the mill
lionaire plunger, the nouveau richie
trust magnate, who is being squeezed
in such ursine fashion that his means
are audible throughout the country.
The gentlemen who ordinarily milk"
the market are themselves being
MIXED and the process is painful.
1t is easy enough 20 understand how
the unprecedented situation came
about-how the "lambs" got out and
the wolves were left to hold the bag.
The very innocence and weakness of
the lamb" saved him from over
whelming disaster.
The general public-the element
which usually furnishes the victims
for a Wall street killing-held its
stocks on such small margins that it
was speedily "wiped out" when the
present decline began. 1t lost what
money it had up, but it saved what
ever it had in reserve, because the de-
cline was SO steady and unbroken that
there was no temptation to 60 in again
on the long side, and the lamb"
rarely CANDLES on the short side.
Hence the 'slamb" has taken his
relatively small losing with equanim-
lty and has settled back to enjoy the
unprecedented and soothing spectacle
of the big plunger taking his medi-
cine. And the big plungsr has had to
take it in heavy doses.
In his case he was margined more
heavily than the 'slamb" and when
called upon for additional margins he
has responded again and again, until
there are instances where stocks
bought at 10 have been margined
down to lis, with the prospect that
they will have to be carried down
still further.
In some cases, in many cases, the
demand for additional margins could
not be met even by multimillionaires,
and it is these failures to respond
which have led to the throwing of
huge blocks of stock on the market,
thus accentuating the decline and rem
dering the burden Of the surviving
plungerj harder to bear Chicago

Elephants Who Dance and Drill Perfectly.


Elephants are so strong and so Sa-
gacious that it seems as if nothing
were impossible to them. The won
derful performances by the four herds
of elephants Of the Adam Forepaugh
and Sells Brothers Enormous Shows
United calls this fact to mind. They
dance, form pyramids of all sorts, walk
on rolling barrels, walk tight rope,
stand on their head and do all sorts of
things. Among the easiest tricks TO
teach them is to stand upright on
tneir 'shind legs. +" Every performing
elephant does it and makes it seem
almost incredible that there is only
one elephant among all the trained
animals in the world who can take
step on bis two rear legs. And yet it
is fact. Their weight is SO enormous
and the strain of standing in that po-
sition is SO great that the vast crea-
lures seem afraid to trust themselves
to stand on one leg long enough to ex-
tend the other one and thus make the
step. With the Adam Forepaugh and

ception. He not only can take one
step but he can take. one hundred
