The Commercial Travelers as Church-Goers Music and Good Sermons Please Them. Indianapolis is hecomiDg a popular Sunday haven for commercial travelers. "You villhardlv believe it,"said a vrell-known hotel clerk, "but we have a good many commercial men who come oyer from Chicago, St. Louis and Cincinnati to pass Sunday with us in preference to remaining in those cities for their day of rest. I don't know why they do so, unless it is that wo make them mom comfortable here than they do there. Some of them are good enough to tell us that they obtain better hotel accommodations ia Indianapolis than they do anywhere else in the country. That may account for the fact of this city getting its full share cf their Sunday patronage when they are free to some extent to choose where they wil stop over. Anyhow, a good many of tliern come here on that day and give Cincinnati. St. Louis and Chicago tho go-by in order to do it." "What is the avcrago commercial traveler's method of putting in tho dayt" "Quite a number of them that come under my observation go to church in the morningthe Catholics nearly all do, and I should ay about half of the others. A few have some particular chnrch they want to attend, but tho majority of the church-goers simply ask us to direct them to some place where they caa hear some good music and a good sermon.' The Catholics generally go to early mass and attend to their correspondence afterward, and the non-church goers putin tbe time while tho others are in church writing letters. It is a great day f.inoug theu for epistolary transactions and Iwicwtcn letter-writing, church-going, eating, smoking and sleeping tho majority of them xuako a comfortable day of it. Of course, if the weather is pleasant there is the same chance for walking and riding here that there is anywhere, but as a rule the men that work hard on tho road for six dara artt urilllncr to take things taSV on the seventh, and do a good deal of sitting 'round." "To what church do most of the outside traveling men go?" "I believe Dr. Haines, at the First Presbyterian, captures the most of them. You see that was President Harrison's church when he lived h ta. and nianv of tbe trav ling men who wanted to seo him. and did not want to take up his time calling at his house, used to co to that church ou Sunday mornings to g-t a glimpse of the Republican presidential candidate. In that way taeygotto feel at home there, and con tiuue to attend that church wheu they are in tho citv Plrmnnth Church has ft trood fchare of them, and others have special at tractions tor particular classes. As a rule, the merchant travelers are very liberal in their theological views, and are realyto 'o where the exercises are likely to prove imercsuog." 'ot a Tim to Break Into Coal OiBces.

HE

EDWARD HAWKINS'S AMBITION.

He and His Friends Propose to Establish Car pet-Hag: Politics for the CitjLlecuon. Although it is six months before tho city election will bo held, considerable gossip about candidates and the probable result of the contest is in circulation. The latest bit in Democratic circles is to the eflect that ex-United States Marshal Ed Haw-; kins is to be made the nominee of tho Democratic convention for Mayor. Mr. Hawkins has not yet said that he will be a candidate, but a Democrat who is admitted to the councils of the party says that the exmarshal has consented to make the race, and that the politicians have settled upon him as the man to nominate. Democrats living in Indianapolis for many yeare, who have had an ambition to be Mayor, are not taking kindly to the Hawkins boom. They cite the . fact that his home is at La Porte, and that he simply had a temporary residence here during the time he was a federal officer. His friends say that he is personally popular. and that he intends to permanently identi fy himself with the interests of this city. J. B. Curtis would like to have the nomina tion but yet ho has not received much encouragement, even from his friends, to push his canvass. They fear that his attempt in the Legislature to rob the people of the city of the right of self-government would prevent him from receiving the full support of his own party. There may be some significance in the fact that Dr. Edenharter has moved back to the city. After being beaten for Mayor two years ago, he moved to Woodruff Place, where he lived until a few weeks ais'o. The current belief is that he has returned with the view of working for th nomination. It seems to well understood that the Democratic nomination for city clerk will go to Thomas Colbert, until recently a captain on tho police force. Captain Colbert has consented to be a candidate, and his friends say there will be but little opposition to him in the convention. However, there are already, several other candidates for the nomination announced. The Republicans also have several candidates for the office. John Bowlus, the incumbent, will ask a renomination and election. Al Tafle, who has been a sergeant on the police force for many years, and Charley Miles, the restaurant-keeper, are among those who will strive for the position. Other persons are spoken of, but their names have not been authoritatively announced. For Mayor, Edward Dean, the pump manufacturer, seems to be about the only person spoken of at present, bnt it is understood that ho has not yet decided to make the race. Vfat Indianapolis ToUtlcs. The politicians in West Indianapolis are now talking about candidates for town officers, with the friends of each working energetically to obtain advantages in the nominating conventions. The Democrats are disturbed by the conflicting claims of Barney Decker, Gus Schaffer and George Gordon, who want tho nomination for marshal. It is thought there will be but little difficulty about the clerkship, as the Democrats are satisfied with Charles Golden, who now has the office. C. Jennings, however, regards his ability and party fealty worthy of equal notice, and proposes to give Mr. Golden a chance to work for renomination. The Republicans mention William Hardy for clerk, Oliver McKinley and Daniel Marshall for treasurer, and John Widdy and Johnson Wallace for trusteo. The Republicans will have their convention Wednesday night. A niGH-LICEXSE LEAGUE. Candidates for the Xext General Assembly to Be Called Upon to Show Where They Stand. A temperance movement, which has .for its purpose a high-license and local-option agitation, and the securing of a law providing for them from the next General Assembly is about to be organized. It has been talked of among quite a number of Indianapolis temperance people for several weeks, and a conference will probably be called this week, when steps will be taken to perfect an organization. It is the intention to make it strictly non-partisan. Democrats also have already signified their willingness to become active in the work proposed4, and it is believed that the organization can be equally divided between the two old parties, "We believe that with an organization, having branches iu each county in the State," said one of the projectors of the movement yesterday, "we can elect a majority of the members of the next General Assembly pledged to vote for a high-license and local-option law. We will agree to support no candidate who will not pledge himself to vote for a law fixing the minimum license fee at $500 and the maximum $1,000. The law would also embrace a local-option feature, so that counties, if they so desire it, can prevent the sale of intoxicants altogether. I think such a movement will be successful. "The headquarters of the organization will be in this city, and it will be our aim to organize branch organizations iu every county and precinct in the State, if possible. We will say to men of all parties: For tho other offices you can voto for whom you please, but we want you to support a candidate for the Legislature who will voto for the law we want.' I believe a - majority of the people in every county in the State will join such a movement. When the candidates for the Legislature are nominated the organization must get a definite answer from them as to how they stand on tho high-license law. In other words, every candidate must bo pledged to support tbe bill before he can receive the vote of tho members of the organization, and they, in turn, will be pledged to support the candidate who pledges himself to support the bill, no matter what his politics may be." 'What do you intend to call the new organization!'' The High-License League of Indiana would be a good name, I think. The idea is not a new one. Such leagues have been organized in other States, and in every one, I believe, they have succeeded in getting what they asked." BASE-BALL MATTERS. The St. Louis Drowns and Home Team Will riay at League Park To-Day. The famous St. Louis Brown Stockings, champions of the American Association, not only once, but four times, will bo here to-day and to-morrow to meet their old rivals, the Hoosiers. The team, which has among its members Latham, Comiskey, O'NciL Robinson, King, Chamberlain, Fuller and Cudworth, is one of the best in the country, and is capable of playing a great game of ball. There has long been mere or less rivalry between tbe Browns and Captain Glasscock's combination, and those who see the games will know that they are played for all there is in them. The home tram will have out its full strength to-day with the exception of Seery, who is not able to play. Meyers v. ill take his place in left field. Boyle and Buckley will bo in the box for tfce Hoosiers, but who will pitch for tho visitors is not known. Hie club cannot reach here until about 3 o'clock, and on that account tho game will not be called until 3:45. Brcunauand Jose will bo tho umpires. Notes of riayers and Games. The students of Wabash College havo organized a base-ball club, and will play teams of other colleges. The Eastern Stars defeated the Northeasterns yesterday by a score of 11 to 3. The Eastern Stars' battery was Eastou and Bnrns. and that for the Kortheasterns, Gray ami Burgess. The Southerns yesterday defeated the Young Hustlers, the score being 18 to 3. Tho batteries t were: For the Hustlers, Shea and Whitlock; for the Southerns, Maunt and Tedero. The Eclinse yesterdar defeated the Sun ofiice nine by a score of 18 to 11. The bat- , tery for the Eclipse was Schultz and Sca

rier, and that for tho Sun ofiice nine was Abromet and Thayer. The Eclipse would like to hear from tho Young Hustlers. MATERIALS FOE A HISTOET.

Some of the Resources Mr. English Uses in Writing His Work on the Frojress of Indiana. For some time past Hon. William H. English, of this city, has been gathering material for a history of Indiana. "It is no small undertaking to complete tho work as I have planned it," he remarked to a Journal reporteras he sat in his office. The apartment looked more like tho operating-room of a photograph gallery than the sanctum of a successful business man, and the reporter asked what the array of half finished pictures, proofs and negatives was intended for. They are the illustrations for my book," was the answer, "and although I have 6ontracts outstanding for more than $10,000 worth of pictures I do not suppose I am more than well started on that branch of the work. I want to include the picture of every public man who has figured in the history of Indiana during the present century, and I will have to go into Illinois after some of them, for you remember Illinois was once a part of the Indiana purchase. They include the territorial officers as well as the State officials. Governors, judges, marshals, members of the various legislatures and constitutional conventions, distinguished soldiers, lawyers, ministers . and doctors, everybody in fact whose part in public affairs makes a mention of them desirable in a complete history of Indiana. I get inquiries frequently from people who send me portraits of themselves or their ancestors as to what it will cost to have such engravings inserted in the work, and my invariable reply . has been not a cent." I am not trying to make or save money in this undertaking, I keep a man out all the time looking nn old portraits and manuscripts, likely to be of service, and thus far have been very successful." "How are these pictures to be used iu tho volnmcf" "They are to be reduced to uniform size and engraved in appropriate groups as far as possible. Here are pages containing the legislatures of various years that will show the general plan to bo followed. Every one of these heads has to bo photographed over again from the original picture and brought to the proper size before tbe group is arranged and the fullSago engraving made. The work is wonerfnlly well done, considering the character ot some of - the material furnished. A good many of the original portraits collected are old fashioned daguerreotypes and ambrotvpes, so faded that the features are hardly distinguishable, and yet the en- ? ;ravers manage to get satisfactory results rom them. Where they make their own photographs and combinations, they do wonderfully good work. Here is an engraving of tho Circle, showing the soldiers7 and sailors' monument completed and standing in the center of the plat. It was made from several photographs of the architect's drawings of the monument, and views of sections of the Circle, and yet everything is in its proper place, and precisely as it will look when the monument is finished. Still, the restoration old pictures and engravings made from tnem is the most interesting part of the work. Here is a group made from old pictures found among rubbish on the floor of the old State-house, so defaced as to be hardly recognizable, and hero is an engraving from an oil painting that had been gnawed by rats and injured by tight rolling until it was thought to be valueless. I have had a good many valuable documents photographed and engraved in the same way. Here is the attestation clause of the first Constitution of Indiana, with the names of the signers, and I will have other fac-similes of equal value ready for nse in the book. Here is the original certificate of membership of Governor Vander Burgh in the Order of the Cincinnati. You notice that the name is divided and a capital B used. Here is other material of a good deal of historical value in the collection, and I was able to show the Legislature from it, some years since, that a mistake had been made in numbering the general assemblies, and that we were making appropriations for the next Legislature, and not for the one sitting; but no attention was paid to correcting the mistake. Wherever I have had illustrations made I have preserved the original nictures. the negatives and tho plate, so they might be available for future editions of the work." "Is the letter-press as far advanced as the illustrations!" "Hardly. Still the material has been classified and arranged so that it is readily available. This pile contains biography, and it is so arranged that you can find an account of any public man who has ever been a resident of Indiana, either by looking for the name alphabetically or searching for it until the title of the county from which he came or the body in which he served. The remainder of tbe matter is in equally good shape and I hope to place some of it in the publishers' hands shortly." ' "When is it proposed to issuo the book and in what shape!" "I am not ready to fix any date and cannot say yet whether it will be published in one or two volumes. I have thought of making two volumes of it and dividing it with the adoption of the present Constitution, in 1851. Still, I have not determined as to that, nor as to the method of its publication and circulation. One thing I have made up my mind about, and that is that there shall be two editions of it one shortly and the other in our centennial year and the second edition shall be revised, brought up to date, and rewritten, so that it shall bo a complete record of a century of Indiana's progress. I may not be spared to complete either, but I havo provided in my will for tho carrying out of my plans, and I can say that the book will accomplish one good result in showing the strength and calibre of the men who laid the foundations and built up the prosperity of Indiana. Whatever may be the shortcomings of their descendants, there were giants in those days." Mr. English stated that his collection had been drawn upon pretty liberally bv publishers of other volumes, and that ho had usually granted requests for the use of any material he had, sometimes to his own detriment, but that as his work was so near completion ho expected hereafter to . keep his papers together until his own volumes wcro issued. This Week's Amusements. In spite of the very large advance sale of scats for the Booth-Barrett engagement on Saturday, there are j et excellent 6eats for all the performances to be had at the boxoffice. Mr. Booth joins his company at Cloveland to-night, completely restored in health, and will certainly play here the latter part of the week. They will give the most beautiful and elaborate production of "Merchant of Venice," on Friday night, ever seen here. At the Saturday matinee 4Hamlet will be given, and Saturday night a double bill, "Fool's Kevenge" and "Yorick's Love." This will doubtless be the last opportunity theater-goers will havo to see Mr. Booth act, and they should avail themselves of it. Those merry-makers, Sal sbury's Troubadours, with Miss Nellie Mcllenry as tho star, will begin a three nights' engagement at the Grand, to-night, in 'Three of a Kind." which is full of fun and pretty xnnsic. The company is a very clever one. Mr. P. F. Baker, an old favorite, will begin a week's engagement at the Park this afternoon, in "The Emigrant," his best play. He has a good company, Charles Drew, now with the Carlton Opera Company, has signed a contract to play Jonah ia "A Brass Monkey" next season. Charles Reed proposes to go back to his old business in black face next season. .Ttadlj Wounded by Rail from a pan. Archie Lovejoy, tho fifteen-year-old son of John II. Lovejoy, Bving at No. 23i Woodlawn avenue, was seriously and perhaps fatally injured Saturday evening by the accidental discharge of a Flobert rifle. The boy. in company with a son of L. G. Dynes, of the South-side Gazette had been hunting, and on their return had stopped at Mr. Dynes's house. No. 4-5 South Linden street. Upon entering the house young Lovejoy put his gun agaiust a wall, and as he was walking awav from it, it fell and was discharged. The ball entered the boy's abdomen. At first the wound was not considered serious, but yesterday morning a change in his condition was apparent, and last evening the physicians did not think he could recover, llis condition is such that he has not been removed to his own, home.

Tho Sinker-Davis Company last week shipped a complete saw-null plant to Taducah, Ky. - . The new buggy company expects to begin work the first of May. It now has three buildings nearing completion. The street-railway company has its open cars in the shops, where tbey are being put in the best condition for summer service. Armstrong & Co. last week shipped a nest of four large boilers to New Orleans, to be used in a new brewery that is being erected there. Letter times have come to the starch men, as tbe demand is good and prices better. Piel Bros, are now using 3,000 bushels of corn daily. The Quaker Brick Machine Company last week shipped complete machines, including engines, to Pensacola.Fla., Memphis, Tenn., and Little Kock, Ark. The excellent prospect for a big wheat crop encourages the dealers in reapers and threshers in tho belief that this is to be a big year for their business. Parties who manufacture baby-wagons, chairs and articles of like character were in the city prospecting last week. They are now located in Lowell, Mass. While the flounng-mills are not running to their full capacity, they have considerably increased their daily production with a better outlook for the market. Dusiness with the United States encaustic tile-works has improved remarkably of late, and the company is again runningthe works to their full capacity, workingnight and day forces. With the woolen-mills business has become quieted somewhat, and running overtime has ceased. The last two years havo been very prosperous with this class of manufacture in this city. Charles Mayer &. Sons contemplate erecting a large building, between Maryland and Georgia streets, just west of Mississippi. in which they will manufacture many of the toys that they sell. Theexcelsiormanufactoriesareagainbusy. The improvement in business at the lounge manufactories is one of the reasons therefor. Hesidcs.Indiannpolis excelsior men are building up a good trade in all parts of the country. The lounge manufacturers report their business as prosperous again after several months of dullness. But few of them are up with their orders. A large per cent, of their shipments go to Pacific coast points and into Southwestern territory. The Jenney Electric Company hasfduring the past wees taken several heavy orders. Among the orders for are apparatus are those from' Sharpsburg, Pa., fifty lights; Marietta, O., seventy lights, and South Pittsburg, Tenn., thirty-five lights. At most of the railroad 6bops here on Saturday last the men began working but onehalf time on that day to cut down expenses without letting out more men. The iSatnrdav afternoon vacation will be continned until times improve with the railroads. The hominyiill men are complaining some of dull times, but more of low prices. The mills have become so numerous that there is qnite a cnt in prices. If the quality of goods was principally considered, the Indianapolis mills would have all they could do. The outlook for Business with .tho terra cotta works is brightening. Last week the company received an order for the terra cotta work on a largo hotel that is beicg erected at Birmingham, Ala. It also expects several other large orders during the present week. There are three factories here which make a specialty of manufacturing chairs. They give employment to moro than three hundred men. The patterns sent out are well thought of, and the manufacturers are disposing of their goods in all parts of the country, shipping even to the Jew England States. Dean Bros, last week contracted to f urnish a rowerf ul steam pump for a lumber company at Cloquett, I a. It is to have capacity to throw eight streams of water, if required.' Iu thesj largo lumber-yards tireIdugs ar! placed at diilerent points, ko as to e available at any moment should fire break out in any part of the yards. There were only 7,000 bushels of corn in the Indiauapolis elevators Saturday evening, azainst 116,500 on the corresponding date last year. At no time siuce this city has made anv pretensions of bemsr a cram center has the holding been so light. The

elevators contain 153,790 bushels of wheat, against 31,102 ou the corresponding date in Nordyke &. Marmon Company are ship ping a tiouring-mill outfit to Mexico, to be set up in tbe nave of an abandoned Jesuit church which is said to be over 300 jcars old. The floor, made of wide, heavy pi auk, has been worn away, leaving the handmade nails, with heads about two inches in diameter, protruding above the general surface. A few weeks ago President Millard, of the Indianapolis car-works, had some fears that tbe company would be obliged to shut down for a tew weeks in midsummer for want of orders. This he much disliked to do, after running continuously for several years, but tho company now has work suthcient to keep busy until August, it not longer, and before that time additional orders for cars will probably be plenty. The Indianapolis Cabinet Companv has received assurance from London that it will be awarded the contract to furnish all the desks needed for tbe English government. It is probable that it will establish large sales-rooms in London the present Bnmmer, as a large per cent, of its goods is sold in foreign countries. The company is now arranging to erect another large brick building about the size of the present mam building. The lots which were recently ? laced on sale have been withdrawn from he market, as the company will need all the ground it has if its business grows as fast as the outlook promises. The proprietors of what is known as the church furniture factory at Auburn, Ind., are looking for a new location. Indianapolis is certainly jnstthe place for such a concern. It is stated that the company docs not ask for a monetary consideration, but would like for some capitalist to take hold with them and enlarge their plant at some good point. The Court Record.

The Fire Department answered four calls yesterday afternoon, and with such a high wind blowing, Chief Dougherty congratu lates himself that but little damage was done. The first was at Eighth street and the Panhandle yards, where a box car was partly consumed. While returning there was an alarm from No. 70 East Washington street, where a shed worth ahout Ssw was destroyed. Again, before the lireraen reached their quarters, there was a call to the lower end of Kentucky avenue, where 1 . 1 .1 1 4 1 apneoi Durning ruDDisn nau arouseaine fears of the watchman in the tower. At 7:80 in the evening a residence at No. 824 Fouth Meridian street, owned bv Mrs. J. Wheatley and occupied by Mrs.'McCracken, was partially destroyed. The fire originated from a defective Hue. The loss was estimated at $300. The Act of a Miscreant. A passenger on the fast train of the J., M. & I., leaving Louisville at 7:45 Saturday night, said yesterday that it was fired into. just after passing the small station of Vi enna. The bullet went through the sleeper Thalia, breaking the two opposite windows, and narrowly missing two passengers. A variation of a hair, and the bullet would have hit one of the passengers, and Iirobably both. Tho conductor was also in iue of danger. The train was not stopped, and as there is no telegraph station at Vienna it is probable that the miscreant will not be apprehended. Girls Classical School. The annual catalogue of the Girls' Classical School for the current year is just issued. It shows a faculty of seventeen teachers, and an enrollment of 1S3 pupils, exclusive of the kindergarten department. The boarding department has drawn pupils from Ohio, llllinois, Minuesota, Colorado, Wisconsin, Kansas and Michigan, besides a largo number from Indiana. The commencement exercises will be held in Dickson's Grand Operahouse on Friday evening, Jnne 7, when an address will be delivered bv President David S. Jordan, of the State (Tniversity. Congressman Cqx's Visit. Congressman 8. S. Cox, of New York city, registered at the Pates House, yesterday, on hit way to Bloomington. lie was besieged by reporters, who were anxious to lenow whether his next lecture on "Why We Laugh" would contain any reference to the recent political revolution, and whether the next census would be able to enumerate the Oklahoma "boomers," but he begged off on the ground that ho was tired, and held on to the seclusion that his room at the hotel granted. Mr. Cox goes to Bloomington to try a land suit to-day, and expects to stop at Terra Haute on bis return. ,m Hurt in a Free Fight. In a fight between several colored men. at the corner of the Michigan road and Sixth street, last night, George Lee was badly injured. One of hi? assailants struck him on toe head, indicting a serions wound, and his face and body were cut in several places. He was removed to his home, near the corner of Fifth and Railroad streets. The persons who engaged in the fight will be arrested to-day. Where Cars Are Run bj Sails. Philadelphia Telegraph. I was looking at some models in the National Museum of curious cars used in the early davs of railroading in this country, when Mr. Watkins, the curator, pointed ont one particular one that had a mast and sail. Experiments with such cars wero made on the Baltimore & Ohio and on the South Carolina road. It was then a serious question whether the motive power on railroads would be sail, borne, or steam. The steam locomotive was still looked upon as an experiment. Sail cars are used to-day on a guano railroad on the island of Maiden, in the South Pacific. They are, in fact, used nearer home than that, for railroad i men at Bamegat Beach, when the wind is

favorable, frequently ride over the road on construction cars sloop-rigged. The wind has a good deal to do with railroading even to-day," Mr. Watkins said, "if you go to the bureau of intelligence at the Broad-

street station, Philadelphia, and at.k whether some train, ay from Xew York, is likely to be on time, you may be informed that it is likelv to bo four or five minutes late, because there is a strong wind from the west. Winds make considerable ditlerence in the running time of trains." TIIE CnEWIXO GUM HABIT. Mncnlar Taralysls, Poison and Other Dan gers Fail to Serve as a Warning to Girls. Baltimore American. There is dancer in chewing gum. There is danger all around. And j-et the practice is on the increase. At the present moment it bids fair to become epidemic. It seems, indeed, as though the danger adds additional charm to a custom which, some years ago. was exclusively monopolized by the small boy to the constant annoyance of his teacher. The small girl can gnt the fever, then the large girl, then the mother, and now it extends throughout all womankind, and even the dudes find the exercise not so exhausting as the pleasure is sweet. Muscular paralysis, sauint eyes and lanterned iaws have no terrors. The maidunobservedly pastes her gum on the underside of the piano while she sings a song at the request of her company, and forgetfully leaves it there until a gentleman who follows with a piano solo gets it off with the knee of Shis trousers. This is rather embarrassing, but the maid chews on as vigorously as ever. The enthusiastic chewing-gum miss sticks ii to tue neauuoaru or ner nea airer prayers: finds it flavored with tincture of bed bug in the morning, and still she chews. it may cost her a big doctors bill to havo her jaws straightened out, but even that will not break her of the habit. A most frightful experience was that of a Kentucky lady who laid her gum aside while she prepared a repast of meat and strychnine ror the benefit of some useless curs that were annovinir her. Ilavinir finished her task, she complacently put the chewing gum oac& again into her mouth. It was only with the crcatest difficulty that the doctor saved her life from strychnine fjoisoning. the substance having by careessness been allowed to come in contact with the gum. And yet it is dollars to vcuia iu.ni, mo iveniucKy iaay wnois, Dy the way, a married woman chews euni now as vigorously as ever. The moral of all this seems to be that it is best not to indulge, but if you must chew don't save old quids, but take a fresh bit every time. Probably Disappointed. Washington Post.
