Street car bills pending in the Legislature have seemed to the citizens of this long-suffering and unfortunate tnunicipality to embody all that was important in possible legislation by the present General Assembly. Lobbying for and against the measures has furnished employment to a number of attorneys and a few influential citizens not otherwise engaged. "Wheels within wheels" and Rings within rings" would seem to describe the workings in the corridors of the State House. A man's stated opinion on a certain day could never be taken as an indication of his real sentiments on the points at issue and afforded no index to his policy.

Numberless interests appeared to be working "six ways for Sunday," and the final outcome is therefore all the more gratifying to a majority of our people. The street railway combine from the start antagonized the New bill which terminates the franchise of the Citizens company in 1901 and annuls the alleged charter of the largely visionary "City Company" which has never had any tangible existence apparent to the naked eye. As a club to beat the New bill the street car lobby assumed responsibility for the Hugg 3-cent fare bill, but when that measure seemed likely to pass the friends of the Citizens' company became panic stricken and set about undoing their own work. The New bill was passed and sent to the Governor Mar. 2. The rout of the lobby seemed complete, but when the Hugg 3-cent fare bill came up Mar. 3 it was defeated promptly by a close vote. The city papers were not slow to denounce the record on this bill as a "chapter of shame", and some very ''warm" charges of bribery and corruption were made—without specific details. So uncomfortable did public sentiment become for many members who had voted to kill the Hugg bill that parliamentary precedents were overhauled to find an excuse for reconsideration. There was a vague feeling, if one may judge by reports, that somebody was "going to see their name in print" in connection with the defeat of a measure directly in the interests of the working classes. As might have been expected, the parliamentary rule permitting a reconsideration in the House, was found. Speaker Pettit had looked Dver the rules and had come to the contusion that a motion to reconsider the iction taken before could be sustained, jrovided it were made by one who votsd in the majority. There was a good deal of discussion in a quiet way as to :he question of calling it up. When Mr. McCart presented his motion to reconsider the street car lobby almost "fell dead," to use a slang expression. It was the last thing in the world they

were expecting. The speaker ordered the motion read again. Mr. Linck arose to explain that in his opinion the motion is a proper one. The street car company's friends began to seek a way to hedge out of the difficulty. Mr. Hedgcock made a motion to adjourn, but the speaker held that he did not have the floor at the time to make it. The speaker held that the motion to reconsider the motion by which the motion to reconsider was tabled was in order. Mr. Schoonover, who has voted for the bill clear through, demanded a roll-call. This motion carried—46 to 27. The next step was as to whether the motion to reconsider should be tabled. A vote on this was ordered, and thus the house undid step by step its work of the previous day. The motion was not tabled by a vote of 24 to 52. The friends of the bill were highly encouraged at this point, while the lobby, figuratively speaking, had a case of heart disease. Mr. Elliott, of Marion, moved that the bill be taken up on passage and the speaker so ordered. The I bill then passed the House—57 to 27— and goes to the Governor, who will undoubtedly sign it and it will become a law. Indianapolis is therefore now entitled to 3-cent street car fares. Will it get them? That depends. First there is a question as to when the bill takes effect—some holding that it is not opera tive until 1901. Again, President Mason of the Citizens' Company, declares in an interview that a 3-cent fare is less ^than cost of carrying a passenger. He contends that the actual cost per passenger is 3.7 for each passage. Mr. Mason declined to say whether his company would abide by the law or not.

The probability is that it will not, and it is likely that the law will launch us on a long series of vexatious law suits. As a matter of fact the Hugg law is a little too radical. It provides for a 3cent fare "with one transfer" which may be described as "rubbing it in" on the company that has exacted five cents from every passenger for all these years. "Three cents for single passage with a four-cent rate for transfers would have been more reasonable and the company might have accepted that schedule.

We are at last about to "realize the beginning at least of an extensive park system that in due time will give this city some attractions for visitors besides Crown Hill cemetery. The council has passed the ordinance authorizing the issue of $350,000 of park bonds and the work.v,-.ill begin on the. improvements jearly in the Spring. The plans con­

template several lakes of considerable extent along the course of Fall Creek across the northern part of the city and a boulevard along the north bank beginning at a point where Indiana avenue crosses the creek and extending in a course following the windings of the stream to the L.

E. & W.

railway bridge

northeast of the Fair grounds—a distance of about five miles. The natural advantages of the proposed park system can hardly be equalled in this country and all that is necessary to produce scenes of rare artistic beauty and landscapes that can not be surpassed for attractions, is time, labor and—cash. Three hundred and fifty thousand dollars is a large sum of money nowadays —yet its expenditure on so extended 2 territory may not produce the results anticipated by those having the project in charge.

A serious fire occurred at the residence of ex-Governor Porter last week. The loss was estimated at $2,500. The conflagration was subdued without en­

dangering Mr. Porter, who has been in feeble health for more than a year. He is not confined to his bed all the time but is able to occasionally ride in a carriage about town. It is however feared and generally believed that the genial and popular Governor's public career is practically ended—a fact that will bring a feeling of sadness to a very large number of Indiana people irrespective of party. Few men have been as popular in public life as Governor Porter and it is a matter of general regret that our public functions can not be graced by his urbane presence and that he must spend his last years as an invalid.

A vexatious specimen of unnecessary legislative blundering is the bill concerning the payment of taxes which has passed both Houses and will become a law unless vetoed by the Governor. It will change the time for the payment of taxes from the third Monday in April to the first Monday in May. This will make the times for the payment of regular taxes expire on the first Monday in May and the first Monday in November, after which date the penalty is attached for delinquents. The provisions of this act do not apply to the Barrett law the time for the Spring payments under that law remaining as now, with the third Monday in April as the last day. Tuis makes the time of payment of regular taxes ten days later. This separation of the times for tax-paying will continue the annoyance that has been so exasperating to Indianapolis taxpayers. A. P.

PROPER CAPERS.

The proper kind of a wedding ring is quite narrow, but heavy and tiiick through.

The proper kind of handkerchief to have is of very fine linen, just simply hemstitched and with your initials hand-embroidered in one corner.

The proper kind of carpet to have is a Wilton for hall and parlor, plain center with border for a parlor while matting and a rug are almost always found in dining-room, sitting-room and library.

The proper kind of a centerpiece is round with a scallop and an inch and a half fringe outside of this. The designs are almost exclusively flowers in wreath effects and bow-knots. The ribbon twining is quite out of date..

The proper kind of a coiffure is a figure eight, either low or half high, accompanied with a parted front taken back loosely and pushed forward toward the face. To soften the effect long side combs are put in with the teeth toward the front.

The proper kind of a glove to wear is a hea\y dog-skin, one like a man's, for your tailor-made gown o- shopping, white glace four-buttoned kid ones stitched wi'.h black for other fancier day time occasions and white or lightcolored suede mouscquataire for evening wear.

The proper kind of a side comb to have is at least four inches long, curved and of unornamented tortoise shell. Some handsome ones have very beautiful borders of open work on the upper edge, all cut from the one piece of shell. Silver, gold and bejeweled ones became so common from their tawdry imitations they soon were dropped by refined women.

The proper kind of a shoe this winter has the "bull-log" toe. Calf skin laced ones for walking and street wear, patent leather buttoned ones with kid uppers (never cloth) for church, teas or dressier out-door wear, and the Duchesse sliper or light-colored Oxford for house wear. In-door shoes have no tips, out-door ones have straight tips, the pointed tip is passed.

The proper kind of napery to have is pure white, with the border running all around. They are invariably handhemmed and-hand-embroidered initials are put across one corner just inside the border, smaller-sized letters to match being used for the napkins. The polka dot is the pattern to have this year, the dot in the table cloth being about a quarter of an inch in diameter and the one for the riapkins about half th size.

The proper kind of a photograph frame is a hand-embroidered linen one. but mounted under glass this year. This is fastened on with white-color paper with the edge running over the glass about half an inch on the back it doesn't matter just enough to give it hold. It is a particular thing to dc neatly, but if you are carcful you car manage it if not any picture dealci will do it for from 50 cents to $1.50. Ii saves both the frame and the photograph from being soiled.

HOOSIER GOLD FIELDS?

SCOTT COUNTY MAY YKT RIVAL, THE COMSTOCK BONANZAS

Lovers Deadly Duel in Benton County—Tolles ton Club Indicted— State Items,

lixllann Cold,

Scott9burg special: Mrs. Alice Jones, of Lexington, this county, is having a solid gold tooth made by Louisville dentists. the metal of which was taken from Scott county soil by the pan-washing process. Samuel Passwaters, Mrs. Jones's father, and Dr. Rogers unearthed the precious metal, and it was presented to Mrs. Jones, who has preserved it in Its original condition until recently, when she decided to have it made into a tooth to tnke the place of one which had disappeared from a set. Very few people, are aware that there is any of the precious metal in this vicinity, yet a citizen of this county finds profitable employment in washing for it along the beds of small streams. The metal obtained by this process is in the form of dust and tiny nuggets, which, owing to the presence of silver, is somewhat lighter than the gold of California and Colorado. It is believed by many that if diligent search were prosecuted by experienced gold miners a very profitable find would reward their efforts. The fact that these small particles of the valuable metal ooze from the depths of a stream is certainly evidence that gold is somewhere hidden in the interior of the earth. However, the gold fever in this vicinity is yet in its Incipient state.

A I.oviT'-i Ie:*dly Duel.

An Earl Park, Benton county, special says: John M. Chavers and Maurice Bradbury have for a year past been suitors for the hand of Miss Alma Bidwell, a very pretty young woman residing in this place. On several occasions the men have met and quarreled until so much bad blood developed that both have gone armed for the other. Tonight they met and fought a deadly duel at close range in the dark and Chavers is now dying, while Bradbury has fled and is probably out of Benton county and safely hidden. Miss Bidwell was attending a dance at a friend's house tonight, having been escorted there by young Bradbury. Chavers heard of this and he went to the house and demanded of Miss Bidwell that he be allowed to escort her home. She objected, saying she had promised to go with Bradbury. This enraged Chavers and he declared he would fix his rival before morning. Accordingly after the dance he waited at a corner near the young woman's home for Bradbury to return after bidding the girl good night. Bradbury, was informed and started home with his hand clnsp'ng his revolver. Suddenly Chavers faced him in the dark and both began firing. Chavers was shot in the right arm and in the abdomen and will die. Bradbury made his escape and has not yet been taken into custody. It is not known whether or not he is wounded.

Tolli'ston In 1) Indicted.

Crown Point special: The grand jury wound up its investigation into the Tolleston Gun Club today, and returned indictments against Barney AVhitlock. Alfred Taylor and the lilackburn brothers. They are the four watchmen who shot down the farmers on the club's premises some weeks ago. William Kunnert, the superintendent of the club grounds, was also arrested, and gave a bonil of $2,:i00. The bond of the other four in jail was also placed at that figure and they expect the officials to bail them out. Indictments were returned against members of the club, presumably the officials, but their names will not be made public until the arrests are made in Chicago, where the members all reside. The trial will probably take place in some other county, as the feeling is so strong against the Tolleston Club here that the defendants will take a change of venue as far away from Lake county as possible.

Groensburg Saloon Men Turned Down. Greetisburg special: Today the board of commissioners refused to grant a license to five saloon keepers to sell in a quanfalled to specifycmfw vbgkq. xzfiflffVfe%Vs tity less than a quart for the reason they business in the township or city of Greensburg, and if in the city the ward was not designated. An appeal was at once taken to the Circuit Court by the saloon keepers. The commissioners based their ruling on the decision of Judge Howard, of the Supreme Court, wherein he decided under the act of 1875 that remonstrators, where liquor was to be sold in cities and towns, should remonstrate by wards and not by townships or towns.

Monument to Mr. Kngllsli.

English special: A monument association was organized here last night, with John McCoy, president Hal A. Ellsworth, vice president Samuel Cummlngs, secretary, and James E. uones, treasurer. The object is to provide funds for the erection of a monument on the public square in honor of the late William H. English, for whom the town was named. The statue, of bronze, wi- be furnished by the Hon. Will E. English, son of the dead statesman. During his life the senior English was a steadfast iriend of this town, and to his liberality it is greatly indebted for its succcess in securing the county seat.

Whk the voter came the lid would be pulled back, he would drop his ballot In the box and the lid would be pushed In and the box closed. There were only thirtytwo voters in the county at that time.

Use of Olive Oil.

Olive oil is now used in many ways at one time never thought of. Besides being more largely used medicinally it enters into various processes of cooking much more extensively than it did. It is well known that good eggs fried in olive oil are much better flavored than when any other kind of fat has been used. In massage, bathing and for numerous other purposes the use of this most natural, valuable food is greatly extending.

The value of good olive oil is beginning to be more generally recognized throughout the world than it formerly was. Eminent authorities have experimented with it and found it a potent agent for any defects of the excretory ducts, especially the skin. Eczema has rapidly disappeared upon a dicontinuance of starch foods and substition of diet of fresh and dried fruits, milk, eggs and olive oil. Its beneficial effects when taken in conjunction with a fruit diet have frequently been marked upon the hair, nails and scalp, quickly clearing the latter of scurf and supplying to the sebaceous glands the cily substance which they secrete when in a healthy condition, and the absence of which is the cause of debility of the hair, frequently ending in baldness.—Chicago Chronicle.

"What Manhattan Island "Was. Never say Manhattan Island when you mean the Island of Manhattan. The briefer term was properly applied in such a way that now it cannot be applied at all. The place that bore it is 110 longer discernible. Manhattan Island was a knoll about an acre in extent which lay near Corlears Hbok, surrounded by marshes and partly submerged by high tides. Later on it became the center of a place which did us noble service but again has been obliterated, save for the lingering nickname of "Dry-dock Village." Here were built most of our ships in the days when no one could build them quite as well as we.—"Places in New York," by Mrs. Schuyler Van Rensselaer, in the February Century.

DIANA LEGISLATURE.

The Senate, gpent the most of Friday on the appropriaton bill. During the afternoon it dropped consideration of this to take up the anti-quart shop bill, which Mr. Nicholson succeeded In pushing tnrough the'House. The Senate temperance committee during the morning put In two reports on this bill, the majority favoring it and the minority against it. The bill was taken up and passed with little discussion—48 to 1. The bill now goes to the Governor, who will undoubtedly sign it. It makes it unlawful to Bell liquor in less quantities than four gallons without taking out a county retail license and is Intended to wipe out the class of doggeries known as quart shops.

In the House Friday Mr. Linck filed a written protest against tho action of the House in reconsidering tho 3-cent fare bill. He denied that his course had been influenced by ex-Representative Stutesman, whom he declared to be a gentleman of high honor and a friend of the speaker. This brought from the speaker an explanation. The speaker has fought hard against the street-railroad company, opposing his friend Stutesman on this proposition. He declared vehemently that Stutesman was a very dear friend of his, but while Stutesman, his friend, was near to him, Stutesman, the lobbyist, could not come within ten thousand miles of him. This declaration caused a burst of applause. Bill legalizing treasurer's settlements under act of 1879 was passed the 7 per cent, usury bill passed bill requiring corporations to pay their road tax In money passed. The House also passed Senate bill requiring railroads to use Interlocking switch. Senate bill fixing a schedule of constables' fees and O'Brien's bill requiring land owner to assist construction of partition fence. Two Indianapolis charter amendments permitting city to condemn land for park purposes and permitting property owners to pay park assessments on ten-year Installment plan were passed under suspension of the rules.

The Senate Saturday convened at 9:30— the only session of the whole sixty days begun this early. H. B. 520 providing for organization of life and accident insurance societies was passed. H. B. 319 for incorporation of insurance companies was passed. H. B. S6 abolishing prison contract labor was passed. The compulsory education bill was passed and sent to the Governor. The general and specific appropriation bill was passed and returned to the House.

In the House Saturday Mr. Littleton's bill for impeachment of publk. officers was passed. Senate bill No. 471. providing for the appointment of a probate commissioner in all counties having a voting population of more than 30,000, was passed, and goes to tho Governor. Senate bill No. 120. by Mr. Holler, establishing the intermediate sentence and parole system at the Indiana State prison at Michigan Ctty, was passed. The House, at the afternoon session, passed a resolution calling upon the Governor to return the anti-cigarette bill, it having been discovered that an error had been made in enacting the bill. Senate bill No. 260, making it unlawful to sell one's vote, and fixing a. penalty, was passed. Senate bill No. 390, to prevent frauds and perjury in assignments, was also passed.

LEGISLATURE ADJOlTliNS.

Sixtieth Indi ina General Assembly Closes Its Work and "Goes Home."'

The Sixtieth General Assembly adjwui nfil sine die. after a brief evening session of both houses Monday evening, upon receipt of messages from the Governor giving a list of bills approved and declaring that he should have no further communications for either house. Among the bills signed were the general medical bill and the Duncan bill, passed by the House in the morning. No other business was transacted during the evening except a resolution in the House voting 560 extra pay to pages. One of these was Blish Monyhan, and his father, a member of the House, protested against the resolution. The honor of making the motion to adjourn sine die in the House was accorded to the Hon. Peter Wallrath, member from Cass and Miami, and he made quite an elaborate speech in so doing that called forth the hearty applause of the House.

The only bill passed Monday was tho Duncan bill, providing for the appointment of a board of three by the Circuit Court to audit township warrants, nnd thus in a measure correct the numerous scandals In township government growing out of the issue of fraudulent warrants. The Governor had intimated that he would receive no bills after Saturday night, but It was understood that he would accept this measure. A hard fight was made against It upon the floor of the House by school-supply firms. It was passed by a narrow vote. The Governor's veto of the general pharmacy bill was sustained by a heavy vote. During the day the Governor sent two more vetoes," both of which were sustained. One of these vetoed measures was the Newby bill, permitting Irresponsible persons to sue In will contests without giving bond. This bill had been prepared to meet the case of the people who are desiring to break the will of the late John Herron, who bequeathed a large fortune to the Indianapolis Art Association. The other was the Senate bill to legalize settlements with county treasurers under the fee and salary law of 1879, while the fee and salary law of 1891 was pending in the courts. The House passed an unusual encomium upon Speaker Pettit when Mr. Swope, leader of the Democratic side, offered a resolution containing the thnnks of the House to the speaker for his eminent fairness, and more than half the members of the House, including all the Democrats who have been prominent, spoke in favor of the resolution.
