This was a luncheon given to a young woman on the eve of her de- parture for Europe. The table center piece was toy dray piled high with miniature trunks, and the place cards were dress suit cases with the name of the guest written and pasted on the side. A silver travelling cup in a case of leather was the favor at the guest of honor's plate. After the luncheon had been served, the maid brought in q pile of steamer letters, one from each When the desert was served. the maid person; they were read Zen voyage" !" appeared with telegrams, and one by one they were read by the favored guest. Of course. these had all been previously prepared and sent to the hostess. At the finish of the menu, be. fore the guests left the table, the lit. tie dray, with It's horses. was helped to go the rounds of the board, and a trunk was unloaded at each place: they were filled with after-dinner hints. The trunks and dress suit cases were candy boxes. and the dray was borrowed for the occasion from a small boy in the nefghborhood.
 After luncheon. the hostess passed envelopes. each one containing a sou venir postal card. cut into odd bits puzzle fashion. The person who sue. ceeded in putting together her car. first was awarded a souvenir-a for. elgn photograph plainly framed.

COURSE OF ARCTIC DRIFT.
Determined by Casks Set Afoat hy Explorers in the Far
 North.

The theory that has frequently been advanced that there is westerly drift across the polar ocean north of Eu- rope and Asia receives added support from the announcement made by Mir. Henry G. Bryant at a recent meeting of the Geographical society of Phiia- delphia. He reported that two of the Bryan-Melville casks that were sci adrift some years ago in the polar sea have turned up. The first was thrown overheard from . revenue cutter some s5 miles northwest of wranele Island. which is north of Behring strait Thisl barrel was afterward recovered on the coast of Siberia. A second barrel was placed on an ice foe northwest Of Point Barrow, the northernmost point of Alaska, in mid-september. 1898. Almost six years later 1t was recov. cred near the northern coast of Ice- land. In that time it drifted with the foes through the Arctic ocean from the Pacific to the Atlantic. course that may have carried 1t within a short distance of the pole. Explorers have frequently planned to take ad- vantage of this Ice movement in q polar expedition. Nanssn did 60 in the Tram. De Long attempted 1t with the Jeannette. Two men who have been connected with the Zieglsr expeditions via Franz Josef Land have ainca their return advocated sending out a new party with a staneh ship fitted to rs. sist great Ice pressure to attempt this voyage.

Menu and Cards for Musical Lunch eon-Farewell to a Traveler--An
 Economy Gathering-From the Celestials.
A Musical Luncheon.

A Musical Luncheon.
 Thirty-six persons were invited to this enjoyable affair Six tables were distributed through the rooms at which six guests were seated and served, and stringed instruments played softly dur ing the repast. The place cards bore a musical quotation, and a violinist, a pianist, a soprano and baritone took part in the program. They were all good friends of the hostess. Each table had different flower, with can. dle and shade to match; for instance, one table had a long-stemmed Amer ican Beauty rose at each place, with the candle shade of the same beautiful crimson; one table had snow white lil- ,ies. another yellow roses, and another simple, but exQuisitely served First. grape fruit thoroughly chilled, sweet. breads grilled on toasted bread-fingers, potato croquettes, asparagus salad. or ange ice, bon bons, salted nuts, French coffee and cheese waters. Here are some of the quotations which were done in fancy lettering:
 Music exalts each joy, allays each grief"
 Here will we sit, and let the sound of music break on our ears" And softly the delicate viol was heard, like the murmur of love or the notes of a bird
 we know they music made in Heaven"
 If music be the food of love, play ,on."
 There's music in the air" There's music in all things, if men had ears" There were eight numbers on the program and encores were not re- sponded to; it is wisdom to have ones entertainment too short rather than too long A gift sent to friend is doubly wei. come and much more appreciated if accompanied by a sentiment apropos of the occasion. It gives a touch of individuality and recalls to mind the 1 old saying, "A gift without the giver | is bare" The following jingle may just fit an occasion:
 To go with an umbrella:
 "Open me and raise me high,
 And in damp weather keep me nigh; | . Or even when the sun shines bright, | Ttft f..~ f-,z,, ,aIt rtO
 To go with a pair of gloves, sent as valentine:
 A little hand, soft white hand, A hand I know 'tis thine,
 These gloves will fit. So may ask
 That gloves and hand be miner"
 To send with a brooch at Christmas time:
 'T'll hold your tie, or ribbon bow; I'll help in any way you know; On breast or belt or neck. I'll stay ha9boi And stick there tight. this Christmas day. '
 To send with a pen wiper:
 "oh! when in distant lands thou art CThe time will come when we must part And rivers roll tween me and thee), Perchance thou'lt write line to me. Your letter being finished, then Here's wherewithal to wipe your pen"
 To go with purse:
 May your purse be heavy and your heart
 light"
 To go with cup and saucer. "when out of this cup you are drinking your tea.
 Perchance you ewill then think kindly oi
 me-"
 To go with wedding ring: "I take you as gift that God has given.
 And love you"

The announcement that the
stockholders of the Walsh banks
have good PROJECTS of coming
out fthe affair without losing
anything is not, however, to be
construed to include sleep in its
meaning.
When it is noted that the value
OF Indianas taxable property is
$55, 150,303 greater this year
than it was last, it will readily be
seen what a struggle we are 60
ing to have to make good with
the county treasurers on our I'M
parallel prosperity.

Already the Democrats in
Congress are trying to make the
people believe that they never
asked a campaign contribution
from a corporation and that they
wouldn't know what to do with
such thing if it were to come
their way. Perhaps in the eighty
millions there may be half doz-
en- people who believe this.
Governor Herrick of Ohio,
gave Marvin Kuhns a pardon as
a Christmas gift. He was serv-
ing a sentence for life and when
he escaped and stole a span of
horses from William Pomeroy of
this city, he was captured by
farmers from Marshall county
and other counties, brought to
the Plymouth Jail and taken back
to Ohio penitentiary from here.
Some of the newspapers of the
state are trying to make their
readers believe that there is a
predisposition on the part of
Governor Hanlyto whitewash
somebody. In a criminal trial
the defendant is assumed to be
innocent until he is proved gull
ty. Governor Hanly is a law
yer and capable one. And he
is man enough to require some
thing more than a mere accusa-
ton as proof of guilt.
If the interstate commerce
commission decides a railroad
rate to be unjust or unlawful, and
if the matter is to be taken into
the courts. let it be done by the
company instead of by the ship
per that has suffered from the
crime already declared by the
proper tribunal. Otherwise the
powerful corporation fights the
comparatively weak shipper until
his strength is exhausted and he
must yield, even though to gross
injustice.
Word from Washington is to
the effect that Congressman J.
Warren Keller of Ohio is fully as
enthusiastic as Judge Crumpack-
er in advocating a reduction of
Southern congressional represen-
tation as retaliation for negro
Acknowledgement" 1t is the spir-
it of fair play that should animate
this movement rather than the
spirit of retaliation. Everybody
knows that elections in the South
are a farce. AS result that reg
ion has many more votes in cong
ress than the same number of in
habitants in the North. This is
unfair; everybody knows it is un-
fair, and everybody knows there
SHOULD be a change.
