PROCLAMATION IS ISSUED GOVEIUVOIl DUIIBIX NAMES 3IAY 30 AS 31E310HIAL. DAY. Attention Called to the Achievements of the IVatlon as a World Power The Foremost Republic. Governor Durbin promulgated the annual Memorial day proclamation yesterday. Alter alluding to the sacrifices and bravery of the soldiers of the Nation, and calling attention to the vast growth of the Repub lic, the Governor requests that citizens pay respect to the day by abstaining from their usual business affairs. The proclama tion is as follows: "Agreeable to an honored custom, and in compliance with legislative provision, the 2oth day of May, Vm'2. will be observed as a legral holiday, to be devoted to appro priate ceremonies in memory of the Na tion's defenders who have joined the silent majority. The people who enjoy freedom secured by the heroic sacrifices of patriots who followed the llag to victory or death, should be- prompt to avail themselves of an opportunity to pay fitting tribute to the brave men who willingly offered their lives on the altar of their country. While we acknowledge heartfelt gratitude to the sol diers who upheld the supremacy of the Union, let us not be unmindful of the debt we owe to soldiers of other wars in which American patriots have participated. "This Nation has achieved recognition as a world power. Its army and navy have kept step with the onward march of civili ation. and our flag is respected wherever it floats on land and sea. In the observance of the occasion the veterans of the war with Mexico, the veterans of the Union army and those of the war with Spain will co-oi?rate with that sincerity of purpose known only to the comradeship of arms, and i earnestly urge citizens generally to abstain on that day from their usual avo cations, o far as practical, in order that ail may join in doing homage to the hon ored dead. "I also request that the national colors be displayed In all appropriate plates, and that the day be made sacred to the uses for .which it has been ottlcially designated. Now frown great and strong the foremost re public in the world we should not be re miss In our devotion to the forces which made It possible for the Nation to survive ths storm of strife, nor careless of our duty In Inculcating lessons of patriotism which ever has been and will continue to be the foundation upon which our institutions are sustained." BUTLER'S NEW PROFESSOR. II. L. llletx Will Have the Chair of Mathematics. Mr. II. L. Rietz, of the department of mathematics, Cornell University, has been appointed to fill the chair of mathematics at Butler College next year. The board has been corresponding with Mr. Rietz for several weeks, and yesterday a letter was received from him accepting the posi tion. Mr. Rietz Is a young man, but his recom mendations all pronuunee him as one of the best equipped professors of mathematics in the country and a leading Investigator in his line of work. lie is also a strong man, broad minded, of a pleasing disposition and congenial in the class room. He has the highest recommendations of any professor Butler has had for many years. Letters of recommendation have been received from a'J thv professors of the department of mathematics at Cornell, from Professor G. A. Miller, head of th mathematical depart ment at Leland Stanford Ij Diversity, and rrofe??or II. 1.

The Association Allied to the Order of Red Men Visitors at the Hotels. Haymakers are gathering at the Stub bins Hotel for the annual meeting of the state organization, which begins to-day. The fact that the members of the order are called "Haymakers" does not Indicate that they make hay. The Order of Hay makers is in a way related to the Improved Order of Red Men. All Haymakers must be Red Men, but all Red Men are not neces sarily Haymakers. Preliminary to the meeting of the organization to-day the law committee of the order met at the Stubbins Hotel yesterday. The committee includes Henry T. Schenck, of Crawfords ville; J. II. Ehrick, of Frankfort; C. B. Hicks, of Lebanon; J. F. Smith, of Brazil, past president; D. W. Gerard, of Craw fordsville, president; Robert Cordle, of Muncie, vice president; C. E. Nobes, of Flora, secretary; Perry Barr, of Muncie, treasurer; M. G. Mock, of Muncie, first farmer; B. B. Campbell, of Anderson, sec ond farmer. The first and second farmers of the organization are past great sachems of the Order of Red Men. This evening at Pearson's Hall, on Delaware street, there will be an exemplication of work In the order, a contest having been arranged be tween Red Cloud Hayloft, No. l&Va. of In dianapolis, and Ononga Hayloft, No. 50, of Anderson. The session of the Haymakers will be held in Druids' Hall. The annual report of the state president will show that dur ing the fiscal year ending May 21 there have been nearly 1.S0O initiations and 1.478 suspensions for nonpayment of dues. The associations have paid out of their treas ury for the relief of companions the sum of 16.303.34 and for the burial of their dead $1,315.34. The associations have a balance in their treasury of $7,685.68. as against $5,769.68 last year. The president will say that the associations in the State are in a better condition financially and numer ically than ever before. On the question of the relationship of the Haymakers to the Red Men the president's report says: "I believe it is time that the State As sociation should take such steps as would definitely fix our relationship to our parent society, the Improved Order of Red Men. While, without question, the best workers and most enthusiastic supporters of the various tribes of Red Men In Indiana are Hay makers, and are made better Red Men because they are Haymakers, yet it is a fact that we are not recognized as an order by the Great Councils of this or any other State. The Haymakers have always been loyal to the Red Men. They have insisted that every Haymaker shall first have at tained the chieftain's degree, and shall be a member in good standing of the tribe to which he belongs. We have been in every way loyal, true and enthusiastic in our allegiance to the Improved Order of Red Men, and we have always given them our support, and I believe the time has come when we should ask that the repre sentatives from the Great Council of In diana, to the Great Council of the United States, be Instructed to secure a recogni tion of the Haymakers as a branch of the Improved Order of Red Men. Under proper restrictions I believe it would be the strongest factor for the rapid and per manent growth of the Red Men in every State. If the same restrictions were im posed, and the same requirements exact ed." that now govern the Order of Pocahon tas, the Haymakers woulu become a recog nized auxiliary of the Improved Order of Red Men, and we would have a standing that would not only help our organization but also be of great value to the Im proved Order of Red Men at large. I trust that this association will take strong action along this line and formulate some plan by which this matter may be brought be fore the coming session of the Great Coun cil of Indiana." TALKS OF HIS INSTITUTION. Alexander Johnson, of Fort Wayne, at the Hotel English. Alexander Johnson, superintendent of the School for Feeble-minded Youth at Fort Wayne, is at the Hotel English. Mr. John son is very proud of the institution and since taking control of it has worked very hard to bring it up to its present high standard. "We have more of the Inmates at useful employment than any other State institution," said he last night. A new building that was made necessary on ac count of a law pased by the last Legislature placing feeble-minded females from sixteen to forty-five years in the institution by commitment from their respective counties is being built. The law Is designed as a pro tection to these women and girls. Mr. John son says that under the new law forty nine have been committed to the institu tion and all but three have arrived and are being taken care of. These women are to occupy the new building, which will ac commodate about one hundred and twenty inmates. Mr. Johnson says the boys' depart ment is crowded and there are 142 on the waiting list. In the last year the superin tendent has found good homes on farms for six of the boys in the institution. There are 410 boys being cared for at present and 42b women and girls. On Monday at the institution the super intendents of the different schools for feeble minded in the country will hold a meeting. There are twenty-eight of these public in stitutions, and Mr. Johnson has received assurances from twenty of the superin tendents that they will be present. Mr. Johnson, at this meeting, will read a paper on "The Educative Value of Public Enter tainments." and in support of. his paper will produce on Monday night a comic opera in which the performers will all bo inmates of the school. The opera is called "Columbus in a Merry Key." It was given last winter a short time before Christmas. The performers are looking forward to its next presentation with much pleasurable anticipation. ' CAME HERE FOR TEACHERS. Prof. J. W. Cnrr, of Anderson,' Look lnc for Primary Instructors. Trofessor J. W. Carr, superintendent of the public schools of Anderson, and one of the best-known educators of the State, was in Indianapolis yesterday with a view to employing teachers to work in the Ander son schools. There are some vacancies in the primary grades at Anderson and Pro fessor Carr came here to see some of the young women who are studying in Miss Blaker's training school for primary teachers. Professor Carr had an Inter view with them and invited some of them to go to Anderson and meet the School Board of that place. Professor Carr has been at the head of the Anderson schools for twelve years and naturally feels that he has excellent schools. When he went to the Anderson schools there were seven teen teachers and now there are nearly one hundred. "In our employment of teach ers." said the professor yesterday, "we try to get the very best talent that our money will procure." Professor Carr speaks flatteringly of Miss Blaker's school. STRING OF FAST HORSES. O. A. Hlckock and Und Dohle Take Them to Fair rounds. O. A. Hickock, a prominent horse-raiser of California, is at the Grand Hotel. With hin is Rudd Doble, one of the best-known horsemen of the country. They arrived last night with five carloads of fast stock for the State fair grounds. The stock Is owned by Hickok and I)ble has charge of the training. The horses will be kept at the fair grounds for a time. In the string are some fast ones. It Is announced that the horses were brought here because of the suitable climate and the excellence of the track. For a long time Doble was very partial to the Terre Haute track. May Not Get the Meeting. A school man, who was in town yester day, thinks it doubtful about Indianapolis getting the meeting of the National Edu cational Society, a year from next July. This is one of the big associations of the country, and brings about IO.iC) people to the city where It meets. Last February a number of Indianapolis educators, who were in Chicago attending a meeting, got together and decided to invite the society to meet here next summer. The invitation has not yet been extended, and perhaps will not be. The man who was discussing the matter yesterday said he understood that the Commercial Club is against the proposition, and the educators feel that If this organization is against the plan, it would not be wise to extend the invitation. It has been estimated that the city would have to raise $3.0u0 with which to take care of the society. On "Way to French Lick. James W. Forsyth, a retired army officer, is at the Denison Hotel with his brother-in-law, H. G. Dennison, of Columbus. O. They are on their way to French Lick Springs. Mr. Dennison is a son of the late ex-Governor Dennison, who was postmaster general under lYesident Lincoln. At the time of his retirement Mr. Forsyth was a major general in the United States army, in command of the Department of Cali fornia. Chairman O'Brien Here To-Day. William H. O'Brien, of Lawrenceburg. chairman of the Democratic state commit tee, will arrive to-day to attend the meet ing of the committee, which takes place to-morrow. This will be an important meeting, as the preliminary arrangements ior ine siaie convention win u maue ti this session. Adolph CaKK Locates in This City. Adolph Gagg, who was prominently en gaged in the banking business at Terre Haute for several years, is staying at the Hotel English, having retired from busi ness at Terre Haute to locate in Indianap olis. For several vears he was cashier of the Terre Haute Savings Bank. Cnrringe Mnnnfncturers. The National Carriage Body Manufac turers' Association met yesterday at the Spencer House. Several Indiana manufac turers were present. It was said that only routine matters of interest to the associa tion members were discussed. GRAND LODGE OF 1. 0. 0. F. OFFICERS TO HE NOMINATED IN SES SION TO BEGIN TO-DAY. Grand Master Will Report on Arrest of RidgeTille Lodge Rebekah Order's Proceedings. The Grand Lodge, I. O. O. F., will meet this morning at 9 o'clock In the Grand Lodge Hall, at Pennsylvania and Washing ton street. The session will last until to morrow night. The greater part of to-day's meeting will be given over to the reading of the various reports. A number of com mittees will be named. The report of the committee on grievances and appeals will not be made public this year. The commit tee has before it some perplexing problems and it is not likely they will be disposed of at this meeting.' Several questions will have to be taken before the Sovereign Grand Lodge next October. One of the Grand Lodge officers said when these questions are disposed of the Grand Lodge will be on a sounder footing. He said the lodge must have no dissension in Its ranks. The grand master will read his report this morning. The report will speak of the arrest of the Kidgevillo Lodge, No. 297. for improperly conferring degrees. The report says the deputy grand master was instruct ed to investigate the charges against the Ridgeville lodge and found them true. The lodge was one of the large ones of the State. The report of Grand Secretary Leedy will be read this morning. This report deals with tv.e finances of the order. The num ber of lodges reporting for the last six months was 667. There were seven new lodges instituted besides two lodges being, resuscitated. There was one lodge sus-' pended. There are 55.463 members in In diana. There were 2,537 accessions during the last six months, which, the report says. Is one of the best showings ever made. The total receipts from all lodges amounted to $274.786.58. Of this sum $150,595.09 was re ceived from dues. There was paid out dur ing the year for relief $105,064.94. it is likely that during to-day's session Grand Secretary Leedy will be formally presented with the large jeweled badge which was awarded to him last year for his work in assisting the Sovereign Grand Lodge. The Grand Lodge will also nomi nate officers at this session, but the elec tion will not take place until next October.

He was in a resort on East Court street last night when the detectives placed him under arrest. LINCOLN AND LITERATURE CHARLES W. MOORES'S ADDRESS BEFORE THE CENTURY' CLIB. The Bible, Shnkspeare and Aesop's Fahles Constituted the Major Part of Lincoln's Library. At the meeting of the Century Club last night Charles W. Moores read a scholarly paper on "Lincoln's Tlace in Literature." In part Mr. Moores said: "The appeal of Lincoln was to reason and to conscience. There were times when the passion of the vehement partisans of lib erty made enemies for the cause they up held. There was never a time when the logic of Lincoln failed to convince. It is one thing to arouse an audience that is in sympathy with a speaker's views; it is quite another to master an audience of op posing faith. Emotion is for the moment; its impulse may set the world moving, but it lacks inertia. Reason aided by convic tion of the truth and enlightened by con science endures. And so it is that the ora tory of Lincoln has survived. "Lincoln was spurred by a tireless ambi tion, but he was not ruled by it. The ragged, uncouth, illiterate boy, as Indiana knew him, was not content to continue so; the half trained, unlettered circuit rider, without law books and without schooling in the law, was not content to continue so; the popular politician, beginning to realize his power over men and affairs, was not content with the success of the mere poli tician. And so while the other boys slept he was mastering his grammar and his mathematics by the light of the fireplace; while he entertained his rough companions with stories he was molding public senti ment in preparation for the crisis to come; while he was convincing juries by apt Illus tration and clear reasoning he was prepar ing himself, to demonstrate so that men could not deny him that slavery was wrong; while he had the senatorship in his grasp he was content to lose it in order to complete the demonstration by forcing Douglas to ruin the slavery party in America. It was as if he had said: Y'e shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.' "Some of his addresses arc preserved. Some are bad; some are worse than bad. But among them all there Is a series that have taken rank with the greatest speeches the world has known. Men have wondered at Lincoln's style and have pronounced it well nigh miraculous that such a man should have attained to what is deemed to be literary perfection. How a country lawyer unlettered and underbred could achieve what he did in the Douglas de bates, how he could be the author of the two inaugural addresses and the Gettys burg oration they profess a total inability to explain. EVOLUTION OF HIS STYLE. "The evolution of Lincoln's style is the story of the growth of an Idea and the gradual realization of an ideal. Until that idea took shape and became an ideal and all other things shrank into insignificance in his view there was nothing in what Lin coln said that any untaught, wide-awake country lawyer might not have done. It was when human slavery became the issue that Lincoln found himself." After discussing the evolution of Lincoln's style from the florid to the dignified and commenting on other facts of his life, Mr. Moores said: "The fables of Aesop and the parables of Jesus doubtless went far to convince him of the efficacy of illustration in argument. The world still tells his sto ries, no doubt attributing to him countless tales that were never his. His stories were told with a purpose, to cheer up his hearer, to banish his own gloom, to clinch an ar gument, expose a fallacy or make an op ponent ridiculous. They were always to the point. He explained that they were seldom his own. Only about one in six was an old acquaintance. The rest were the productions of better story tellers than himself. I remember a good story when I hear it. he said, 'but I never invented anything original; I am only a retail dealer.' "One of his stories was of a long-haired, long-faced Second Adventist, who wanted to hire the hall of the Illinois Legislature while Lincoln was occupying a room in the Statehouse in I860. The preacher wanted to deliver a course of lectures. 'And what is the subject of your lectures?' was asked. 'The course I want to deliver to the citizens of Springfield," he answered, with great solemnity, 'is on the second coming of Christ.' 'It is of no use,' was the reply. 'You take my advice and waste no time here. It is my private opinion that if the Lord has been in Springfield once He will not come a second time.' "His figures of speech, like his stories, made his points unanswerable, and his ir repressible humor kept him from despair. When the protest came from Louisiana against using negroes in the prosecution of war his answer was: 'What would you do in my position? Would you drop the war where it is, or would you prosecute it in the future with elder stalks charged with rosewater?' "When times looked gloomiest a telegram came from Cumberland Gap that 'firing was heard in the direction of Rockvillc 'I am glad of it,' said the President. Some one present, who was distressed with the perils of Burnside's position, suggested: 'I don't see why you should be glad.' 'Why, you see, said Lincoln, 'it reminds me of an old neighbor of mine who had a large family. Occasionally one of her numerous progeny would be heard crying in an out-of-the-dav place and Mrs. Ward would ex claim: 'Thank the Lord, there's one of my children that isn't dead yet! ALWAYS II D AN AUDIENCE. "When he told story two or three hun dred men would crowd around him to listen. He was a mimic. All his features seemed to take part in the performance. As he ncared the point, seriousness disap peared from his face. His little gray eyes sparkled, a smile gathered in the corners of his mouth, his frame shook with excite ment and when the 'nub' of the story came, his was the heartiest laugh of all. "McClellan used constantly to understate his fighting strength in the hope of getting more troops, and the President described the situation by saying: 'Sending men to that army is like shoveling fleas across a barnyard; not half of them get there.' "The story is told of a young woman miserably dressed who came to ask for her brother's pardon and who had to force her way oi:t of the proper hours into Lincoln's presence. The President was at first sur prised at her forwardness, but noting her distress he took up her case and com menced to examine her papers. Glancing at her face, which was tear-stained, and at her scanty but neat dress, his own features lightered up. 'My poor girl.' he said; 'you have come here with no Governor or sen ator or member of Congress to plead your cause. You seem honest and truthful and' with mch emphasis 'you don't wear hoors. and I believe I will pardon your brother.' " Speaking of the- influence of books on Lin coln. Mr. Moores said: "The influence of books other than the Bible is hard to trace. Beyond the Bible and Shakspeare and per haps Aesop's Fables, there is little that he appears to have used. The Bible and ! Shakspeare he mastered. He used to re ! pent pages of 'Hamlet' and 'Richard the i Third' and to comment critically on them, j He read no law books. His entire library, I general as well as legal, did not consist of " in volumes. Mr. Herndon. his law partner. says: 'The truth about Lincoln is that he read le?s and thought more than any man In his sphere in America.' "The great orations of Lincoln are not few. Among them are the Springfield ad dress opening the campaign for the sen atorship. seven speeches delivered In the joint debate with Douglas, the Cooper In stitute speech, the two inaugural addresses end the Gettysburg oration. They show a marked development in manner of expres sion. But from first to last they are the same clear, direct, convincing, dignified but not stilted, scholarly without being bookish, and full of epigrams that cling to one's memory, and charged with an in tensity of feeling that warmed conviction into passion." Loeuftti In YVoodrnn Place. State Geologist Blatchley. who knows as much about insects as he knows about glacial formations and other things per taining to his particular profession, says that the popular name 'eventeen-year Distress After Eating Nausea between meals, belching, vom iting, flatulence, fits of nervous head ache, pain in the stomach, are all symptoms of dyspepsia, and the longer it is neglected the harder it is to cure it. Hood's Sarsaparilla and Pills Radically and permanently cure it itrengthen and tone the stomach and other digestive organs for the natural performance of their functions.

I. Hood's Sarsaparilla promises to cure and keeps the promise. locust" is Incorrect. It should be cicada, he says. Professor Blatchley went out in the country yesterday looking for Insects of that -species, but did not find any. The locust has appeared in the city and county, however. Several of the seventeen-year variety were found yesterday on Woodruff Place trees, and it is thought that they will be strongly in evidence in Marion county and in this part of the State within the next few weeks. Those seen here yesterday were winged, and were in what Is known as the mature stage. ASSISTANT SURGEONS. Opening; for Yotinjr Physicians In Ma rino Hospital Service.
