Elmer Smith, railway postal clerk, living in Irvington, whll moving from one house to another, lost $100, which had been placed in a tin can. He thinks he was robbed. The can was found, but it did not contain the money. There will be a meeting this morning at 10 o'clock in the agricultural rooms at the Statehouse, of the State League of Local Building Associations. The U. S. League will meet at the same place on Wednesday and Thursday. Mrs. Ella Talbot, widow of Elbert Talbot, died yesterday .nornlng of Brlght's disease at her home in the Delano. Two daughters survive her. The funeral will be held at the Delano to-day at 4:30 p. m. The burial at Crown Hill will be private. The time for receiving bids for school supplies expired at 11 o'clock yesterday morning, and when the limit was reached Business Manager Cleland's desk was plied high with envelopes containing bids. The result of the bid will not be announced until to-morrow or Thursday. The congregation of Roberts Tark Church raised the money necessary to clear the church of a long-standing indebtedness. A wealthy man offered to give $1,000 if the congregation .would raise the remaining $3.500. The proposition was accepted and the money was raised. Charles Brewster, who keeps a saloon at English avenue and Cedar street, was lined $00 and costs by Judge Daly yesterday for keeping a gambling house. Brewster was arrested on an affidavit filed by Mrs. Catherine Dick, who said her husband had lost his money in Brewster's place of business. The case was appealed. Lee Barrett, clerk at the Bates, has received an invitation to attend the eleventh annual reunion of the Barrett family, which is to take place at Knlghtstown on Thursday, Aug. 9. C. E. Barrett, of this city, is on the programme for a speech, and will discuss "The Barrett as a Citizen." For the Labor day celebration at the fair grounds Sept. 3, John McGregor, chairman of the committee on amusements, is planning for an event which, it is said, will afford more amusement and be more Interesting than the Fourth of July headend collision. He proposes to turn vgas Into a building located in the center of the ground and cause an explosion by an electric spark. The explosion will, it is thought, give people an opportunity to sec the manner in which many homes of this city have been destroyed or partially wrecked by natural gas explosions. An Explosion of Gas. A match and escaping natural gas in the basement of the building occupied by Frank O'Brien at East and Washington streets caused an explosion and serious injury to James B. Fage yesterday morning. Fage drives a beer wagort, and was delivering a barrel of beer. The basement was poorly lighted, and he struck a match to see where the barrel should be placed. Immediately an explosion occurred, and Fage was badly burned about the head, hands and arms. He escaped from the cellar without assistance, but required help to get to a doctor's office. The force of the explosion was felt in the building adjoining, and the noise was heard several blocks away. Little damage was done to the building. Miaslni? Woman Found. Fay Clifton, who was reported as mysteriously missing from her place of employment has been found by the police. She was living in a house of questionable reputation at 430 East Washington street. Her story-was that she was afflicted with heart trouble, and was taken ill at Fairview, after which a young man from Peru, her former home, took her to a house on East street, where she stayed for several days and then moved to Washington street. She wll! be held by the police with no charge against her until communication can be had with her parents. A Pretty Kitchen Experiment. Dissolve a teaspoonful of pure cream of tartar baking powder In half a glass of cold water and there is a liquid charged with carbonic acid gas, and the gas. having nothing to retain It, passes off in bubbles like the foam of a lively champagne. Mix a tablespoonful of the same powder with th same quantity of flour, pour into it halt a glassful of cold water, and stir up quickly. The carbonic acid gas liberated I then prevented from rapid escape by the flour, und the mixture rises, foaming and CTCvny. like yeast, over the top of the glass. This effect has been produced by adulterating the baking powder, making it half f.our. and may be rendered sttll more marked by the addition of a little albumen. The grer.t show of creamy foam in a bdklng powder is proof not only of adulteration but Inferior strength. "Thins .tre seldom what they seem: Skim milk masquerades ai cream."

TALK OF MISSION WORK

FIRST DAY OF CHRISTIAN WOMAN'S BOARD OF .MISSIONS, Several Intercatin: Ariree Dnrintg the Day Concert In the Evenins Acton Opening The first day of .the C. W. B. M. scries of meetings, yesterday, at Bethany Park, was largely attended and was one of the most representative gatherings held in some years. All the services were well attended and some very interesting papers on missionary work were read during the day. Mrs. M. E. Shank, of Irvington, conducted the morning devotional services, . and the address of the morning was delivered by Mrs. Cora Campbell Barnctt. of Indianapolis. She gave a summary of the work of the C. W. B. M. in the last twenty-live years, almost since its organization. One of the features she particularly dwelt on was the establishing of Bible chairs in state universities throughout the United States. They have already established three chairs in different state universities. The C. W. B. M. was the lirst missionary society to establish a mission at Porto Rico, where it now has a flourishing orphanage. It has a number of missions in Mexico and a Chinese school in Portland, Ore., and a school among the Japanese in Montana. Its llrst work began in Jamaica twenty-five years ago, and it now has many churches and converts. The native boys are educated in the United States and are then sent back as native missionaries. The C. W. B. M. has missions at Mahoba. Dcoghur, Belaspo and Bina, India. Much of the work is accomplished among the children's bands, which they call "little builders," because the funds they contribute are used for building orphanages and schools. In the last fourteen years $SG.000 has been used in missionary work from the funds contributed by the children's bands. The C. V. B. M. has 103 missionaries. Mrs. S. K. Jones, the secretary, gave some interesting facts in her report about the work accomplished in the year. She attended twenty-eight conventions, organized twenty-four auxiliaries, traveled 3.34:1 miles and spent 116 days In the Held. The money given by Indiana auxiliaries for missionary work during the year was $11,695, an increase over last year of 2,31. Other talks during the morning session were "What a Missionary Woman Should Do," by Mrs. B. F. Templeton, of Marion, and "What a Missionary Woman Should Be," by Miss Dungan, of Indianapolis. AFTERNOON SESSION. In the afternoon Mrs. Helen E. Moses, of Indianapolis, delivered an address on "State Development." She said, in part: "The scope of our woman's work is so wide that there is something to Interest every woman, no matter what her dispositionin the hospitals, in the schools, in the orphanage, in the university, among the high and the low, the poor and the rich, the leper and outcast the missionary band is at work. The enlargement wo have made in the last few years opens to us new and fertile fields, which demand care and cultivation. In addition to these the C. W. B. M. owes a debt to the church of Christ. The church owes it to its Lord to care for the young and to carry glad tidings of her risen Redeemer Into every land. The close organization of our woman's work and its spiritual character tits it to be of a special service to the church in this great enterprise. It is ours to bring to every church "a knowledge of world-wide missions. This we may do through state development. It is tiue we owe a debt to India, but tho best way to pay it is by way of Indiana. If in state development we can raise 30,000 women in churches in Indiana we will soon have means to answer all our prayers to help India's starving people." Mrs. Mary Judson talked of the duties of the auxiliary treasurer. The election of officers for the year resulted as follows: President, Mrs. W. M. Cunningham, of Franklin; recording secretary, Mrs. Susie Moffett; corresponding secretary and state organizer, Mrs. S. K. Jones; treasurer, Mrs. W. O. Darnell, of Lebanon; superintendent of young people's work. Miss Kate Whistler, of Evansville; delegate to the national convention, Mrs. W. M. Cunningham; alternate, Mrs. Dungan. One of the chief features of the day at Bethany was the practice by the Boys' Brigade of the Central Christian Church for the sham battle on Thursday. The boys drilled and had everything in readiness, and about 4 o'clock marched into the park grounds. As they stood in review Colonel Smith made Miss Electa Chase, daughter of ex-Governor Chase, an honorary member of the regiment, and the Juanita Glee Club, of Chicago, sang some patriotic songs. The colonel of the regiment had provided nurses, and little Lucile Howe, of Irvington, and Lorena Holland, of Dallas, Tex., dressed in the uniform of Sisters of Charity, acted as nurses. During the sham battle several of the boys were wounded or fell from excessive heat, and the hospital corps, consisting of three very small boys, with Dr. McNabe, of Indianapolis, as surgeon, carried the wounded from the field. The nurses bathed the heads of the fallen with iced water and administered pop soda, while the youngsters lay on the ground with pillowed heads and an amused crowd of spectators around them. It was quite a serious business with the brigade boys, however, and their faces expressed the importance they felt as they watched the enemy and loaded and unloaded their rifles with blank cartridges. Thursday they will have a real sham battle on the hillside opposite the park. They are arranging to build a fort, which they have already named Tien-Tsin. Thursday the Plalnfield Band will also be one of the attractions at the park, and will give concerts both afternoon and evening. The sanatorium has been one of the busyplaces at Bethany Park this season. It is in charge of Mrs. Mattie Jacobs, and the baths and massage treatment are proving a drawing card to the park. The sanatorium has been greatly Improved, and its cool and wide verandas look quite inviting. A POPULAR CONCERT. Last nlght the Juanita Glee Club gave another of its popular concerts, which was largely attended by the cottagers and guests at the hotel, as well as people from the surrounding country and Brooklyn. The club will remain the rest of the week, and a boating party was given for them early yesterday evening. To-day the C. W. B. M. convention will continue. The principal speaker of the day will be Miss Mary Brayblel, who has recently returned from Mahoba, India. There will be devotional exercises in the morning, presided over by Mrs. Eva Taggart, of South Bend, and the nomination Of national officers and election of district managers, as well as the report of the superintendent of young people's work. Miss Mattie Pounds, of Irvington. will talk on "The Duties Auxiliary to Young People's Department." Miss Adelaide Gail Frost was mentioned on the programme, but she will be prevented from being present. In the evening Prof. John L. Brandt, of Valparaiso, will give a stereoptleon lecture, with moving pictures, on "The Passion Play." To-morrow the C. W. B. M. convention will continue, closing with the afternoon session. In the evening the Juanlta Club will give a concert. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has agreed to put on two extra trains on Sunday to Bethany Park, and the morning train will be run an hour later. The first train will leave Indianapolis at 8:20, and a noon train will be run at 12:30. The usual 5:23 train will return from the park, arriving at Indianapolis at 6 o'clock, and an extra will be put on later In the evening, enabling people to remain for the evening service.

CITY WILL HAVE TO WAIT TEMPORARY LOAN OF $11..000 "WAS SOT AUTHORIZED Republican Conncllmen Say They Want to Investigate City FU nances-Work Board Affairs. At a caucus held by Republican members of the City Council yesterday afternoon it was decided that the mayor's appropriation ordinance providing for a temporary loan of $123.000 ought not to be passed until the finance committee had had an opportunity of Investigating the alleged deficits In the different departments, consequently at the special meeting of the Council last night the ordinance was not passed. Four of the Republican members of the Council were absent, but all of the Democrats were present. This gave the Democrats a majority. President Crall was absent and the Republicans objected to the attempt to organize. This failed, however, for Councilman Pcrrott was elected to preside, over the protest of Councilman Negley, who claimed it required a constitutional majority of the Council to permit any action of this kind. A constitutional majority of the present Council would be eleven members. Clerk Geckler presided until Mr. Perrott was selected and as soon as the latter took the chair the message from the mayor calling attention to the appropriation ordinance was read and the .finance committee was asked to report on the ordinance. Councilman Kaiser made the report, which was to the effect that Chairman Megrew, of the finance committee, was out of the city and there had been no opportunity of considering the ordinance There being no opportunity of taking up the ordinance, the Democrats were willing to adjourn. Before an adjournment was taken, however, a resolution was adopted expressing sympathy with Councilman William H. Wheeler on account of the loss of his son by death. Republican members bf the Council say they will not object to passing the appropriation ordinance after they have considered the matter thoroughly and understand just what each Item means. They say they have no Intention of defeating the ordinance if it Is a meritorious one. Works Board Affairs. Yesterday the Board of Public Works made the final allowances on the three bridges built by the Wisconsin Bridge Company. These bridges are at Indiana avenue and Fall Creek, Market street and Pogue's run, and Pine street and Pogue's run. -The largest allowance was for the Indiana-avenue bridge which was $10,973. Councilman Evans requested that the board order a change In the Riverside Park street-car line in order that Blake street cars may run over Eighteenth and Twentyfirst streets past the factories and homes in Cerealinetown.

HIS TENURE IN JEOPARDY

A QUESTION RAISED THAT 3LVY OUST PRESIDENT BLUE The Union He Represent Not Recognized by Federation of Labor Other Matters, Near the close of the meeting of Central Labor Union last night a question of vital importance to that body was raised and it may lead to the separation of the af filiated trades organization from the American Federation of Labor or tho ex pulsion of representatives of local unions not under the jurisdiction of the federation fwm the central body. The situation is such that cne or the other is inevitable.' H. S. Bcissenhcrz. of the Musicians Union, brought the matter up in a com munication from President Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor. President John Blue, of Central Labor Union, is a member of the American Agents' Union, the national organization which was expelled from the Federation of Lahor at its convention last March. According to the constitution of the Federation of Labor no representative of a union nut recognized by the federated body is entitled to a scat in any Central Labor Union affiliated with the American Federation. The local trades organization is affiliated with the Federation of Labor and thu question Beisscnherz raised was as to the legality of the agents being represented in the central body as well as President .Blue's retention in tho chair. He read a letter he had written to President Gompers In regard to the local situation and the reply. Gompcrs's letter slated in emphatic terms and with a citation to the constitution to the effect that the agents arc not entitled to representation and that President Biuo cannot legally preside over the central body. CAUSED CONSTERNATION. This unexpected announcement caused consternation among the delegates. The situation was extremely embarrassing for the president and no one knew what to say. rre-s-ldent Blue finally broke the lIcnce by saying that his union had applied to the Federation of Labor for a charter and it was looked for in the near future. There was a noticeable division of opinion in regard to the question, but Edgar A. Perkins, of the Typographical Union, quelled any radical outburst with a conservative speech. He said the Natlona' Agents' Union was expelled last March and that the matter should have been brought up long before. To him, he said, the matter seemed to be a personal light against President Blue and he stood for the "under dog," but if the American Federation of Laoor said no agents should be admitted to the central union, then he was for the federation. He urged that the matter be laid over until the next meeting and that the secretary write to officials of the federated body, in the meantime, and ascertain the exact status of the situation. He said if the local agents get a charter the matter needs no adjustment and advised for the good of the organization that the matter be left standing in the manner suggested. President Blue then vacated the chair leaving Vice President Gurley to preside, while he defended himself and his union. He said the fight was a personal one and was presented at an opportune time do him personal Injury. He said there were other unions represented in the central body hot affiliated with the American Federation that had held seats without protest for years and were no more legally entitled to representation than his union. He closed by saying that he was willing for the federation to be asked regarding his position and that a charter will be in the hands of this union by next meeting night. VARYING VIEWS. State Labor Commissioner McCormick sided with Delegate Perkins, saying it was best to let the matter rest pending an investigation. Others took various views of the question, some advocating a central body independent of the Federation of Labor, while others insisted that the affiliation is necessary. Some central labor unions are affiliated with the Federation of Labor land some are not, and there were radicals who advocated a withdrawal from the federation rather than unseating delegates. A motion to carry the matter over to the next meeting until the secretary has time to communicate with the Federation of Labor was carried by a vote of 22 to 4. Many of the delegates did not vote. Another contest before the central body was over a report of the grievance committee recommending that the boycott be lifted from the Pearson block at Delaware and Wabash streets. Chairman Gaumer presented an iron-clad agreement between members of the committee and Levi S. Pearson, owner of the block, in which Pearson agreed to employ none but union men on future contracts, holding subcontractors to a like agreement, providing the boycott was removed. The carpenters fought the motion vigorously, asserting that they were not consulted In making the agreement and stating that the boycott was indorsed at their last meeting. Ali the delegates except the carpenters said the agreement was the best the central body had ever obtained from a contractor, that the victory was won and wanted the measure passed. By a vote of 43 to 6 the boycott was raised. A spirit of strife seemed to have taken possession of the delegates, and another motion of the painters to expel the delegates of the hardwood finishers from the central union brought on a heated argument. Their grievance was that the hardwood finishers had violated an agreement in doing outside work. The matter was left with the arbitration committee. A resolution was passed that the Central Labor Union ask the Democratic and Republican legislative conventions to embody in their platforms an Indorsement of a plan adopted by the American Federation of Labor which provides for a change in the Constitution so that municipalities may issue bonds in excess of the Z per cent, debt limit for special purposes. Not Many Barbers Present. A half dozen barbers interested in the formation of a union for the purpose of enforcing the Sunday closing ordinance met for a half hour in the Stevenson building last night, and then adjourned. No business of special importance was transacted. IN THE COUNTY COURTS. The Complicated Eureka" CaseOther Mutters. At 2 o'clock this afternoon argument will begin In the Eureka Savings and Loan Association case, that has been on trial In Judge Carter's court for at least twenty days since it began, last March. Besides, there have been many days when the case was reopened and then continued without making any progress. A day and a half will be taken up in the argument, and then the case will rest with Judge Carter.

Fair Sex No Lou er to Have a Monopoly of the Garment. NEW YORK. July 23. Women arc no longer to monopolize the shirt waist. Man has long admired the shirt waist, more especially when It Incased the Joyous summer girl. Now he has Incorporated the comfortable garment in his wardrobe of summer clothes. What with the fair sex .wearing men's hats, belts, suspenders, tics, collars and smart coats, it became necessary for man to make some sort of reprisal. Therefore he has fallen upon the shirt waist and taken it to himself. And then it was a man who invented the shirt waist anyway. But the inauguration of the new garment is meeting with much opposition. The world is slow to welcome innovations. It will take determined efforts to stamp out the deep-rooted Idea that a man is not "dressed" unless he is carrying a coat. London i3 just discarding coats and high silk hats, and servants and horses are dressed with some regard for comfort and the weather. The man in the shirt waist here is meeting with all the different kinds of discouragement that the. professional martyr encounters. He is being put out of restaurants, barred from roof gardens, and when those things are not occurring to him he is being sneered at by his fellowcitizens. This man in the shirt waist Is just a 'plain summer man. without any coat or waistcoat. He wears a pink or blue shirt, and his trousers are held in place with a belt. The innovation consists in the fact that he leaves his coat at home. From the standpoint of logic he Is all right. What there is against him is that he is a novelty and that he looks so aggravatlngly cool. Into the Astor House dining room went the man in the shirt waist this afternoon. He took a seat. The cashier came up and said in severe accents to the man in the shirt waist: "Have you no coat?" "No," replied the man in the shirt waist. "Well, then," the cashier decided In the manner of one giving an ultimatum, "we decline to serve you." "But at Newport," continued the man. "everyone goes around like this, the Vandervilts, the Astors, and, well, all the rest of the fellows." "The millionaires?" Inquired the cashier, beginning to relent. "Yes," the man answered, "the millionaires. It's the new fashion, Just Introduced." "No one ever dined at the Astor House in his shirt sleeves," the cashier said, shaking his head. Then he thought a moment and asked: "You say the millionaires are doing It, and that It's the fashion?" "Yes." explained the M. In the S. W., "and hotel keepers who do not line up may be sued for all sorts of money and have to pav It too. Now, may I eat here?" "Well." the cashier said slowly, "If it's the fashion it will have to. go, but I have my suspicions. You see, we never know everything here, and it may bo as you av. However. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Sit down and I'll send you a waiter." The man in the shirt waist had won the day. He sat down and had some wine with his braised beef. URGING HASTE.

July 23.-A special to the Herald from Washington says: "Colonel Llscum's death while leading the Ninth United States InTantry in the fight of the allied forces at Tien-Tsin has led many to ask if our officers are not needlessly reckless while under fire. General Miles, answering this question, said: 'American officers are as brave us any In the world. They rank as high In valor as the officers of any European government. Neither In Cuba nor In Porto Itleo did they needlessly expose themselves. Colonel Llscum met his death at the head of his regiment, and here I might say that the war records will show that the percentage of colonels killed in action ! greater In pro-
