TO THE MAN WHO THINKS. LOOK yourself squarely in the face and see if you are not half ashamed to be without Ivory Soap in your house. Worse than this, your wife is without it. It is bad enough for a man, though a man often doesn’t care how his comfort is mis-spelled. But a woman misses all these little helps to housekeeping. And Ivory Soap is one; its great potency makes it actually cheaper than yellow soap for general work. It floats.

BOY EVANGELIST SPEAKS

JACK

COOKE AT MERIDIAN-ST. M. E. CHURCH.

WASHINGTON ST. BRIDGE

Fourteen Years Old — Speaks from Any Text Selected by His Hearers. At the Meridian-street M. E. church last night Claude Hanbury Cooke, commonly known as “Jack” Cooke, the boy evangelist. assisted by his brother, J. H. Cooke, opened a series of revival meetings, which will be continued every night, except Saturday night, for two weeks. "Jack” Cooke is a lad in knickerbockers. He was born in Manchester. England, fourteen years ago, and has been engaged in evangelistic work since he was ten years old, two years of this time having been spent in the larger cities of this country. His brother, J. H. Cooke, is a young man of about twenty-one. He leads the singing for the services, and last night he prefaced his brother’s sermon by reciting a poem, “It Touched

JACK COOKE.

the Very Spot,” composed by their father, who was also an evangelist in his lifetime. An unusual feature of “Jack" Cooke’s sermon was that he permitted the audience to select his text, and he spoke entirely extemporaneously. He has a ready flow of words, with some little oratorical ability, and he made a good impression on his first audience in Indianapolis. The text chosen for him was, "Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God." Upon this he appealed to his audience to have greater faith in God’s wisdom and mercy. Dr. Quayle, the pastor of the church, took part in the service last night. The audience was not large, but the brothers hope to arouse a great deal of interest in their meetings during their stay in the city. At the close of their service they appealed for people to come forward to the altar, and a number came. They were afterward asked for short testimonials as to God's mercy and power. MUSIC SOCIETIES REBEL. Object to Railroad Rates to the Buffalo Saengerfest. H. M. Bronson, acting general passenger agent for the Big Four, has been informed by Charles H. Adam, chairman of the railroad committee of the Mannerchor, Musik-Verein and Liederkranz, of this city, that these societies have resolved to stay at home rather than pay the Big Four rate to Buffalo. The rate given is $13.25, and these societies, unless great concession is made from this figure, will not attend the annual sengerfest to be held at that city. The action taken by the Indianapolis singing societies will be followed by Louisville and St. Louis societies. Mr. Adam, in his communication, says: "When three societies hare worked all winter rehearsing songs for the purpose of furnishing an entertainment in a city located 465 miles om home, and assisting in bringing lands of persons to Buffalo, they that they are entitled to better treatment and a lower rate of fare. Unless the railroads reconsider their action, they will very materially injure one of the fin:g' a s , gfflSsi!g?- ,T,r

City News Notes. The plans for the new wing at the City Hospital have been completed by architect W. Scott Moore and will be presented to the Board of Health for approval within the next few days. The plans will then go to the Board of Works, which has to make the contracts. Building Inspector Bedell to-day refused to approve the plans of architect Winterrowd for the addition to the Benjamin Harrison school building. The contract has been let by the School Board. Mr. Bedell says that the joists in the flooring of certain rooms are not heavy enough. Joists three by twelve are used in bridging a thirty-two-foot span and the floors, he thinks, would not be solid. The changes that he says must be made will cost about $500. The city engineer has begun the work of resurfacing Illinois street, from Ohio street to the Union Station. This was one of the first streets paved in this city and the contractor's guarantee has expired. The resurfacing will be done at the expense of property owners. The work will be done in a few days and other streets will bs resurfaced as fast as possible. NEWS OF COLORED PEOPLE. Mrs. Edna Walton has returned from a visit to friends at South Bend.

WOODRUFF IS OUT OF DEBT

MOST PROSPEROUS SHOWING ITS HISTORY.

CITY OFFICIALS WORRIED ABOUT ITS CONDITION.

Precautions will be Taken to Protect Crowds Going to the Circus. The condition of the Washington street bridge over White river is giving city officials some concern just now in view of the fact that in the next few weeks two circuses are to exhibit at these show grounds west of the river and large crowds will have occasion to use the bridge. The bridge has already been declared unsafe, though not in immediate danger of falling. An engineer, employed recently by the city to maks an examination, figured that it could bear five loaded street cars, concentrated at any one place without danger. City Engineer Jeup said to-day: "Of course, the bridge is unsafe and has been so for several years. I do not know that there is any more danger this year than there was last year when the shows came here. At that time only one street car at a time was allowed on the bridge and the same rule will be followed this year, with perhaps some extra precautions. It is all very well for engineers to figure on the strength of a bridge of this kind, but you never can tell what will happen. The bridge might last for years, or on the other hand, it might surprise you by falling at an unexpected moment. There is no occasion for people to get frightened, I believe, but at the same time the city ought to replace the bridge with a new one as soon as possible. If I thought there was any extreme danger in the present case I would block the bridge to traffic, no matter what the consequences." Acting Mayor Johnson says every precaution will be taken to prevent danger to the circus crowds. He, too, thinks the city should have a new bridge at once. The city engineer is now at work on plane for a new bridge, which, it is estimated, would cost about $150.000. Bids will be received when the plans are finished, so that the exact cost may be ascertained. The plan then is to submit the matter to the Council. The money for the bridge would have to be raised by bond issue, and the city is now so near its constitutional debt limit that there is some doubt as to whether it would be wise to increase the debt further at this time. It is argued, however, that this is an emergency that ought to be met if any provision for meeting it can possibly be made. It is also pointed out that the law passed by the last Legislature permitting the city to establish a sinking fund for the purpose of paying off its bonded debt removes much of the objection to running the city in debt now almost to the constitutional limit.

Present Town Officers Renominated at Last Night’s Meeting— Electrie Light Contract. The voters of Woodruff Place met at the clubhouse last night and nominated town officers—clerk, marshal and one trustee for each drive. For the west drive W. W. Richardson was renominated, while he was protesting against serving another term; for the middle drive Admiral Brown was renominated, and for the east drive Frank Goheen was also renominated. George Field was unanimously renominated for clerk and M. S. Huey for marshal. These officers will be voted for at the election next month. The clerk’s reports showed the town's financial condition to be better than ever before in the history of Woodruff. For the first time in its existence the town is out of debt, with $1,500 in the bank. The announcement caused an outburst of applause. It was further stated by Admiral Brown, who is president of the board of trustees, that the town has closed a contract with the Indianapolis Light and Power Company for the lighting of Woodruff, the present plant, which is owned by the town, being insufficient. The new contract means a saving of several hundred dollars a year and will also make it possible for residents to use electricity for lighting their homes. The admiral also stated that a contract had been entered into with a city florist for laying out and filling the flower beds and stands, and for the placing of hardy plants that will survive winter weather. This has been done, he said, at a saving of fully $500 a year over the old plan of maintaining hothouses. A suggestion that the town pay a part of the cost of making the proposed improvement at Highland avenue and East Michigan street, involving the straightening of the street-car tracks at that point, met with disfavor. Judge Ayres, who was chairman of the meeting, doubted the legal right of the town’s officers to vote money for such purpose. The residents were urged to care for their trees and to plant young trees wherever it might appear that the older ones were about to lose their usefulness for shade purposes. Already several of the property owners have done this, and the scheme was urged as the only one that will perpetuate the natural beauty of Woodruff. A communication was read thanking the present board for its efficient services, and the meeting adjourned, after a discussion regarding the improvement of the Michigan street approaches to the town.

The material for the new curves is being put together in Kentucky avenue, a short distance from the corner, in order that the old rails may be taken out and the new ones put in with the greatest possible dispatch. This work will be done at night, in order that traffice will be interfered with as

little as possible.

He was in the habit, she said, of spending his evenings at home, in her company. He locked his store last Friday night, but did not report at his home. Garen is twenty-three years old, five feet nine inches in height, has black hair, blue eyes, smooth face, and is of slender build. He dresses well.

IT MADE LITTLE TROUBLE

THE ANDERSON FREIGHT MEN'S STRIKE EXAGGERATED.

Supt. Van Winkle Says Affair Could Scarcely be Called a StrikeOther Railroad News. The report of a strike by the Big Four freight handlers at Anderson yesterday was exaggerated. Ten men, who demanded the scale that is paid at Indianapolis, stopped work, their places were filled with other men, and the freight house work is going on the same as before General Superintendent Van Winkle said that the occurrence could hardly be called a strike. “The men evidently had better positions ahead of them and quit. They asked for the Indianapolis scale, and were shown that they were really getting better pay than the freight handlers here, but they had it figured out that there ought to be about three bosses to every man, and that we could not have. I told them that we would have to make few bosses and many workers, and that is the way it was. We have a good deal of trouble holding our men at the gas belt towns because we have a superior grade of workmen, and the factories and electric line people take them away from us. The report from Anderson is that all is quiet, and business is going on just the same as it was before the ten freight handlers quit." Erie.s Copper-Cased Cars. The Erie has ordered twenty-five cars sheathed with copper, instead of painted. Two years ago the company ordered two cars incased in copper, and the experiment was so satisfactory that all of the passenger cars on the road in time will be so treated. The company says it is cheaper in the long run to use copper sheeting, because it keeps the cars smoother, and they do not decay so soon. The polish remains on them longer than when they are painted. Meeting of Wabash Agents. George D. Maxfield, district passenger agent of the Wabash at this point, will leave to-morrow for Buffalo, where there is to be a meeting on Thursday of all the passenger representatives of the Wabash lines. Thursday night the Wabash agents will take a special train for New York over the Lackawanna and remain in that city until Saturday evening, returning to their headquarters on Monday.

Putting in Electric Light Plants. Frank Clark, chief electrical engineer of the Big Four, is installing electriclight plants for the company at Bellefontaine, O., Mattoon, Ills., Wabash and Brightwood. All of the round-houses, offices and station buildings at the points named are to be lighted by electricity, the motor instead of the shaft system being used.

Big Four’s Freight Business. The report for last week of John Quincy Hicks, general yardmaster of the Big Four, shows that at the freight station here there were loaded 1,058 cars and 792 were unloaded. The week before there were loaded 1,060 cars and 741 cars were unloaded. The average number loaded and unloaded per day in the house yard was 308 cars. The Eel River Road Sale. [Special to The Indianapolis News.] KOKOMO, Ind., April 23.-Receiver Ruddell, of the Eel River railway, has refused to allow the claims of the attorneys who had filed bills for more than $90,000 for services, the receiver holding that the fees are excessive. The army of lawyers engaged in the case will hold a conference here May 6 to agree on the fee question. The road, which is to be sold at receiver’s sale at Logansport June 10, has been in the courts since 1879, and represents $3,000,000 in stock. Its charter was forfeited by the courts a year ago, on account of a lease to a competing company, the Wabash, shortly after its construction, as a competitor to the Wabash. It was built largely by bonuses by people along the line to break the monopoly. Only the roadbed is to be sold at the receiver’s sale, there being a controversy over the rolling stock that will prolong the litigation. The road runs from Logansport to Butler, ninety miles, and is used by the Wabash as its Detroit division. The Wabash is still operating the line by special arrangement with the receiver, paying $6,000 a month rental. The Lake Shore, Wabash and Pennsylvania will all bid for the property. When the Wabash first leased the Eel River line there was rolling stock appraised at $225,000. The Eel River people say they want stock in return of the same value they leased, and not the old, worn-out cars and engines the Wabash offers them. New Transfer Grain Elevator, [Special to The Indianapolis News.] GOODLAND, Ind., April 23.-A large transfer grain elevator is to be built here at a cost of $25,000. It will be built at the junction of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois and the Pennsylvania railroads. The house will have a capacity of 300,000 bushels and will be equipped with the latest machinery.

Concerning Railroad Men. Superintendent Mansfield and his sistants will make an inspection of Indianapolis & Vincennes the last of

Railroad Notes. It is understood that the Norfolk & Western will absorb the Cincinnati, Portsmouth & Virginia about July 1. Six hundred machinists employed by the Illinois Central have asked for more pay, a nine-hour day, and more helpers. An anti-scalping bill has been passed by both branches of the New York Legislature and will become a law as soon as the Governor signs it. The through trains are running pretty well on time to-day, and the high water is not causing as much damage as was expected.

GOV. DURBIN HAS ABOUT DECIDED TO RELEASE HER.

The Pardon of Another Woman Who Has Served Twenty-Four Years is Also Asked. Governor Durbin has about decided to pardon Mrs. Mary Anderson, who was sent to the Woman’s Prison, in this city, about a year ago, charged with having conspired to kill her daughter, in Green county, in 1891. She is seventy-stx years old and is thought to be dying with consumption. The conviction of Mrs. Anderson was a surprise at the time of her trial, the charge against her having been made in a confession of a prisoner named Waggoner, who is serving a sentence in the State prison for complicity in the murder of Mrs. Anderson's daughter, a girl of unsound mind. The confession also implicated a son-in-law of Mrs. Anderson, who, on trial, was acquitted. The board of control of the prison recommended to the Governor the pardon of Mrs. Martha Southwood, the prisoner who has been there longest— twenty-four years. Her prison number is ninety-seven. The numbers now reach into 700. She was sent from Dubois county on the charge of having murdered her infant child. A home has been provided for her in North Dakota with a relative, where she will go if the Governor acts favorably. NEW ACTS OUT THIS WEEK.

The Laws will be Published Earlier Than was Expected. The first copies of the acts of the General Assembly of 1901 are expected to be ready for distribution Friday of this week. It has been generally expected that the acts would not appear until May 1, or later, but Secretary of State Hunt has been making a vigorous effort, and, to-day, the State printer was of opinion that the first consignment, probably 1,000 copies, would be ready to send out by the last of the week. The volume will be a larger one than that of two years ago. The suit brought by Harry B, Gates to compel the Secretary of State to insert the words “or bitartrate of potassium," in Senate bill No. 405—the Gates baking powder bill—is still pending in the Marion county courts. Purdue University Trustee. The appointment as a member of the board of trustees of Purdue University, at Lafayette, has been tendered by the Governor to Dr. C. B. Stemen, of Ft. Wayne.

COMMENT ON QUALITY IS UNNECESSARY

THEY SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES

Ex-Senator Winfield, of Logansport, has presented a claim in the Eel River railroad case that came up at Kokomo yesterday afternoon, amounting in all to about $50,000, representing fees for work done by himself and associate counsel Attorney-General Taylor says all claims for attorneys’ fees will be well investigated owing to their large amount. State Superintendent Jones announced to-day that examinations of school teachers for State licenses will be held next Saturday at nine different places in the State—at the office of the Department of Public Instruction at the State House, and at the office of the superintendents of schools at Ft Wayne, Evansville, Valparaiso, Richmond, Terre Haute, Lafayette, Seymour and Bloom-

ington.

The question has arisen at the State House whether Joseph H. Clarke, of this city, who was a member of the House of Representatives of the last Legislature, is eligible to appointment as deputy factory inspector. The constitution provides that no member of a Legislature shall be eligible to any appointive position which the Legislature of which he was a member created. The last Legislature passed a law increasing the number of factory inspectors from two to five.
