The laying of the corner stone ofthe new St. Thomas Episcopal churchwhich occurred Sunday, April 30, wasa very impressive ceremony and anventful and momentous occasion in

the church history of Plymouth. Alarge multitude of people of all de-

nominations witnessed the laying ofthe corner stone which was done ac-

cording to the beautiful and impres-sive form prescribed in the churchritual under the direction of the Rt.Rev. Hazen White, Bishop of the di-

ocese of northern Indiana, and Rev.Howi'd of the St. Thomas parish ofthis city.

Upon the corner stone was engra-ved the motto of the church "Ad glo-ria- n

Dei" To the Glory of God,the date of the erection, 1905, andthe name of the church, St. ThomasChurch. Within the metallic boxplaced in the corner stone were thefollowing articles, A Bible, pictureand plans of the new church, pictureof the old church, short history ofPlymouth, the churcn paper, prayerlook and hymnal, a coy of the Chi-cago Tribune, and of the PlymouthTribune and Independent, a fifty cent

. piece and several other articles that--would interest individuals only.

The Plymouth Band assisted thechurch choir in rendering a sacredconcert. "Joy to the World," "Songsof the South" and four hymns wererendered.

The address of the occasion wasgiven by the Bishop but several otheraddresses were given representing thedifferent professions and fraternitiesof the city. Samuel Parker represent-ing the legal fraternity of the city, in2l ten minutes addmss emphasized thefact that the law of a nation wasmerely auxiliary to the church. Ina way equity was the ccmp!ement ofthe church. Dr. Borten representedthe medical fraternity. He said thatTie had been an eye witness to theconstruction and completion of mostall the churches in the city and waspleased to note that the good feelingin the community was a,s great nowif not greater than ever before. S.K. Stevens, representing the educa-tional interests of the city and county,gave an interesting address upon thetwo great factors in human develop-ment, the church and the school.In all the addresses the relation ofthat profession which each speakerrepresented was shown to the church

a relation which was good, invigor-ating and helpful to both church andprofession. The ministers of the. dif-

ferent denominations were nearly allpresent and they made short addres-ses which were interesting and full ofgood-wi- ll from themselves and res-

pective congregations to Rev. How-ard and his congregation. Rev. Pflugof the Presbyterian. Rev. Sheppard ofof the Christian, Rev. Cleaver of theUnited Brethren, and Rev. Crowderof the Methodist spoke and letters ofregret at not being able to be presentwere read from Rev. Keppel of theReformed and Father Yenn of theCatholic church. In the evening aclass of over forty mtnbers includingboth young and old were confirmed.

ma, Ind., to participate in the com-memoration services being held atthat place in honor of the Bishop's

Mark P. Bone, superintendent ofthe Peru Home Telephone company,has invented and applied for a patentlock-o- ut device, designed for commonbattery telephones, whereby all par-

ties are locked out except those pro-erl- y

using the line, so that their con-

versation may not be overheard byothers on the same line. The inven-tion consists of a novel constructionand arrangement of the electrome-chanical parts and their co-operat-

circuits, in which, when the line isclear and no party is talking, a lock-

out electro magnet at a subscribersstation connected between the earthand a wire leading through an im-peden- ce

coil to the dry side of thebattery will be in operation. But ifa circuit be established between theline wires, through a telephonebridged on the side for instance, thenall the subscribers' lockout electro-magnets connected as described, be-

come operative to lockout. A specialpush button and supplemental cir-

cuit leading to the ground at thesubscriber's station, is provided to en-

able a subscriber to communicatewith another on the same line. Allinstruments on the line are equippedand arranged alike.

1CC3 is Locust Year.The year 1905 will mark the reap-

pearance of the seventeen year lo-

custs. This is the prediction at least.The seventeen year locust is an insectthat makes its appearance every sev-

enteen years. They were here in 1854again in 1871 and in 1883 and arelooked for again this season. The lo-

cust is a large insect and when anumber, of them are lodgeJ amongthe leaves of a tree they send forth achorus of chirps that fill the air witha deafening noise. The locusts arenot particularly injurious to vegeta-tion nor are they as poisonous assome have supposed-- Their adventwill b looked for with interest. .

ture is one on page 673 of the Actsnow in force, that will bring to timethe irresponsible class of tenants whohave been selling the landlord's shareof the crops, secure in the knowledgethet they were judgement roof or ir-

Probably the oldest clock in Indi-ana is owned by Joseph K.Mock ofKosciusko county. It was( made inGermany 115 years ago, and it hasbeen in almost constant use and it Istoday ticking off the time with a reg-ularity which would put masy a Yan-kee clock to shame.

A few days ago, Mr. Mock had aSyracuse jeweler to clean the clock,and it was found in good 'condition.The bearings were but slightly worn,and it promises to run for a genera-tion yet. The hands are made ofsteel and show that they were ham-mered out by some Teutonic master.The brass wheels show the traces ofthe delicate flies which fashionedthem. Wooden pins hold the case to-gether.

It was sixty-on- e years ago that Mr.Mock's father traded for :he oldtimepiece. He traded a cow, a two-ye- ar

old heifer and a shot gun forit. It then belonged to Elias Galen-tin- e,

a pioneer of Elkhart county,who then lived north of Goshen onRock Run. A few years ago SimonStrauss the Ligonier banker, tried tobuy the clock, but his handsome of-

fer would not get it from the Mockpossessions.

Cattle Guard to Guard Cattle.In a suit of William T. Newsom,

of Bartholomew county, against thePanhandle railroad for damages byreason of the death of a number ofmules killed by a Panhandle fast pas-senger, the Appellate court yesterdayhanded down a decision thatis of in-

terest to every farmer who ownsstock. Newsom in his complaint al-

leges that the cattle guards ownedby the company did not work andpermitted his mules to get onto thetrack. The company in answer setup that the cattle guards were of reg-

ulation size and the kind required bylaw. The court held that no matterhow good or of what make were thecattle guards they did not release thecompany from liability if the guardsdid not really keep stock from goingover them onto the track.

Lafayette, Ind., April 27. Ill feeling engendered by the fact that therector was not a Frenchman andcould not preach to them in their nat-ive tongue the 100 French membersof the congregation of the CatholicChurch at Fowler have withdrawnfrom the church and today it was an-

nounced that the sum of $25,000 hadbeen pledged for the erection of aFrench Catholic church and parson-age at Fowler.

The French, German and IrishCatholics of Fowler united some timeago and built a church costing $15,-00- 0.

While there was no open bit-

terness between the two people, thefact that the pastor is a German andnot able to understand the Frenchlanguage naturally aroused a feelingof displeasure among the French.

A Letter from Geo. R. Chaney.Siloam Springs, Ark. April 23, 1905.

Editor Tribune:Dear Sir: I am sad today. I read

the Tribune regularly every week.Some times, it cheers me up, and car-

ries me joyfully back to other dayswhile at other tifs it carries meback sad and mournful. .

Not long ago, when I s??r mentionof C. H. Reeve, C. C. Buck, W. M.Kendall or H. G. Thayer, as comingfrom, or going some where, or doingsome thing in old Plymcuth, it madf.me elad and thoughtful of the goodold town, but later, when I saw mention of their death, respectively, itmade me feel sad indeed. They wereall "old familiar faces" to me and Ihoped some day to see them all thereagain.

Now that hope is gone, and goneforever. They are there no more, andnever will be, so that now a visit byme to old Plymouth, would avail menothing, so far as they are concerned.Perhaps you do not realize the feel-

ings of . one who has gone out fromthe "old familiar faces." The friend-

ships formed in our younger days,follow us throughout life, it makes usglad to hear of their health and pros-

perity, and sad to learn of their mis-

fortune or death. Of those withwhom I had most to do while there,who are now dead, were C. F. Cha-

ney, my dear brother, H. Corbin,once my law partner, W. M. Kendall,our post master, John W. Houghton,recorder of deeds, and H. G. Thayer,who was always my personal friend,and whoni I tried hard to nominatefor Congress in 1876, when John Ba-

ker was first nominated. Now theyare all gone, and many other kindfriends with them.

All I can do now, is to hope thatthey have all peacefully crossed theriver of death, into beautiful fields, ra-

diant with the sunlight of bright andhappy faces, and fragrant with thebreath of many flowers; that theythere met loved ones who had gonebefore, greeting them with a joyouswelcome, with voices as musical andand sweet as the song of the sirenand with step and touch as soft andgentle as the velvet foot of time.

Respectfully,Geo. R. Chaney.

An Eggstraordinary Hen.In the poultry yard of Mrs. Malin-d- a

Starr, just north of town, is an am-bitious hen that seeks to vary the mo-

notony of her daily egg laying, andexcite the envy of her hen sisterstnd no doubt the admiration of theother members of her circle of soci-ety, by occasionally contributing anegg of new and original design.The freak eggs are about the size ofa goose egg. Upon breaking them,in addition to the ordinary white andyolk, there is also inside another egg,shell and all, of the ordinary size.This hen certainly deserves a pre-mium. Walkerton Independent.

Better Stay Sober.Drunks will be expensive luxuries

BAKER UP FOR CONGRESS.Indiana Republicans Discuss Cam

paign of Cigarette Law Promoter.Goshen, Ind., April 29. The an-

nouncement that Ananias Baker, theRochester representative who madeIndiana's cigaretfe law famous, wouldseek the republican nomination forcongress in this district was not en-tirely unexpected. Mr. Baker feelsthat if no other opposition to Cong-ressman Brick appears there shouldbe no contest, but he is of the opin-ion that Senator Parks of Plymouthand Lemuel W.

A Letter From Home.Prof. Osier has promulgated a con-

viction that men who have reachedthe age of sixty years have passedtheir age of usefulness to the world,and in order to prevent them frombeing a hindrance to progress itwould be better to chloroform themand put them quietly and peacefullyout of the way. According to thePittsburgh Post when this idea is putin practice the following will be a fairsample of the eagerly looked for let-

ter from home:Dear Jim: The crops is doing well,The calf is big enough to sell:I've traded off the brindle cowAnd we ain't got but one just now.The horses all is fat and sleekExcept that Bab is rather weak.But still that isn't nothing queer,We've had him nigh on twenty year.I think I'll put the bottom fieldIn corn and oats; it oughter yieldA heavy crop. The land is richAnd just the thing for oats and sich.There is no news to speak of Jim.Miss Susie Jones is just as trimAs when you saw her in the fall.The folks are well. I guess that's allBut stop, I 'most forgot 'bout dad;I 'xpect the news will make you sad.You know that dad was getting old,Just sixty years had o'er him rolled,And so, I much regret to say,We chloroformed poor dad today.And that's 'bout all the news untilI write again.

The annual commencement of theWalnut township and Argos publicschools was held Friday evening, Ap-ril 2S, at the opera house at Argos.There were twenty-fou- r graduates.The stage was nicely decorated withthe class colors and above the stagehung the class motto, "Without aCross no Crown." The Argos or-

chestra furnished the music Thespeaker of the evening, Rev. Geo. E.Hicks of the Christian church of La-porte, choose for his subject "TheChoice of a Successful Life Busi-ness." In his lecture of over an hourhe brought out some fundamentalprinciples which go to make the suc-cessful life. He dwelt upon the factthat this is a practicle world andthat man must live in a practical way.He touched upon superstition andluck showing that where one realizedanything by luck a thousand failed;there is no other way to succeedthan by hard application. The will ofman is the most powerful thing inthis world except the will of God.The self-ma- de menof the world weresuperior to their environment androse by their indomitable will power.Man can become what he wills if heposesses the energy. He illustratedby Chas. Dickens, Daniel Webster,etc. He said some men die becausethey do not have enough will powerto live. All men are adapted to acertain business in life. We must dis-

cover that and then reenforce the natural adaptability by preparation forthe work. "Be ignorant about manythings, know something about everything but know everything aboutsome one thing.' He emphasized in-

dustry and application. Men mustnot be out of their elements. In ev-

ery age there is some one thing thatdominates, and every man's life thathas been successful must be tuned tothat age. In Caesar's time it wasphysical power, in Demosthenes'time oratory, in Lincoln's timewhether the slave shall be free or not.

This is an age of practical achievements and he who would succeedmust have his life "en rapport" withpracticality.

How Papers View Judge Whallon.Itis said that ludsre Whallon is

himself addicted to the use of cigar-

ettes. If he is, he was not competentto construe the statute against cigarettes. A man with a cigarette-mu- d

dled mind should never attempt totell anybody else what the la v is upon any subject. Lafayette DailyJournal.

Judge Whallon of the Indianapolispolice court, has decided that the

law dots not apply tosmokers and affects the dealers only.In this attitude Judge Whallon diff-

ers radically from some of the bestlegal minds in Indiana, and it wouldat least be wise for the Johnnies toawait the decision of the supremecourt before obtruding again their offense upon the public. Fort WayneDaily News.
