A FAMILY QUARREL Republicans Badly Disrupted Over In dianapolls Campaign. Indianapo'tg, Sept. 22. —The statement m :do to the public by Chairman Goodrich of the Republican state committee that all Republicans here should bury their personal feeling and support the city ticket for the good effect it will have in the state and national election has aroused the ire of several thousand Republicans who are not regarding this as a party line campaign and who are saying freely that Goodrich is dabbling in something that does not concern him. Charles Martindale, a leader of the anti-Bookwalter faction, has written Goodrich a tart letter, in which he says: “Nothing is so dangerous as righteous wrath. There are from seven to ten thousand Republican voters in Indianapolis whose moral sense has been outraged by the ‘gang.’ They are determined to clean house. If you and Senator Fairbanks and Senator Beveridge and Congressman Overstreet place yourselves between the ‘gang’ and this moral sentiment you will be doing your party and yourselves a great injury instead of a ser vice.” Goodrich, it is understood, made the statement at the request oi the Republican leaders here who are ■ trying in every way to whip the dissatisfied Republicans into line. People who have been complaining about the dullness of the present city campaign will have no cause for complaint after tonight, as all parties arc going to get right into the thick of the fight. Even the Socialists are to get busy. The fact is, they have been busy for a long time among the workers in the factories, and it wouldn’t be surprising if they should poll a considerable vote. The Hitz independent campaign is to be made more prominent than ever, as he is speaking day and night. A new independent candi date for mayor, Dr. James Carter, has been added to the list. He is a Democrat who has had a desire in othei campaigns to be an independent can didate for some office. Mayor Book waiter is going to open his regulai speaking campaign tomorrow night. He will probably make three speeches a night, as he is a tireless worker. Former Attorney General Taylor and Congressman Overstreet are booked for two speeches Wednesday nighty and on that night Holtzman, the Democratic candidate for mayor, will de Tver bis keynote. He is dated for n -ily ov~ry nignt until the close ol the campaign. A lot of politicians are trying tc have fun with Dan Storms, secretary of state, by telling him if Frank Hanly ir= nominated for governor that he will be defeated for renomination. The friends of some of the candidates for governor have been threatening tc ■ . ... W - '* ‘ * ."-‘v. - . his fellow-townsman. Hanly. is nominated, and Storms is just the least bit worried in spite of his attempts to take the matter good-naturedly. He was nominated by acclamation last year, but his friends persistently tried to frighten b’m with stories that such and such a- ■ eminent Republican wai abcut to ci • the race. The same tacti. s are bv.,_g tried again, but it is not likely that Storms will be stampeded. He is making a good official, and it is no' at .al! likely tha' his party will want another man on the ticket in his place. Nlgjit Air. One of the bugbears of old time peo pie is night air, and there is little ex aggeration in saying that the superstition against night air has killed more people than the free circulation of it has ever injured. There is abundance of proof that night air is injurious to no one. On the contrary, people who sleep outdoors under the mere protec tion of a tent are the healthiest of all people, and the practice has largely gained in popularity of late years under wider knowledge of hygiene for people in delicate health to go in camping parties and breathe the balsam of the night air. The vigor gained from a few weeks of such an outing is a marked proof that the old prejudice against night air is as foolish as most other old wires’ whims.—Exchange. Talent and Vocation. Each man nas his own vocation. The talent is the call. There is one direction in which all space is open to him. He has faculties silently inviting him thither to endless exertion. lie is like a ship in a river. He runs against obstructions on every side but one. On that side all obstruction is taken away, -and he sweeps serenely over God’s depths into an Infinite sea. This talent and this call depend on his organization or the mode in which the genera] soul incarnates itself in him.—Em erson. _____

COURTING IN IRELAND. Lovers aj&d Lovemaking In the Land of the Shamrock. The Irish way of courting In the old days and in quiet country places even to the present day was and is vffty different from that style of thing which makes the subject of many finely painted romances. There were no stolen in- • terviews, no twilight walks, no thought 'of kisses or even hand clasps—in short, no lovemaking whatever. But if they were at reaping or haymaking Peter took his place next to Rosie, helped to i bind her sheaves when his own were dene and at noonday took bis share of soda cake and his draft of milk from her hands. Then in the quiet evening, when the work was done and the evening meal was over, Peter would rise and look out of the door and say to his father or sisters: “’TIs a fine night. I think I’ll go for a bit of a stroll.” And the bit of a stroll inevitably ended on the narrow path through the whin bushes up to the stile, over which it was but three steps into Alec McCrossan’s haggard, and then across to where the firelight shone welcoming through an open door. Around the fire the family circle was widened to make room for him, as a matter of course. Maybe be took a draw at the pipe, and maybe he didn't. Anyhow he would sit there quiet and contented for long enough, talking all the time to McCrossan or the neighbor men, but with quiet, happy eyes watching Rosie, the loved and chosen one. as she sat in the flickering light or moved about the room. And there -was a gleam in her eyes and a smile on her lips which told him he was welcome and bade him stay long and come again soon, and in his heart was a firm resolve, as soon as ever he saw his way to marrying, that he would have Rosie and no other. This, in spite of all that is written in story books and silly romances or shown on the stage, is the recognized and seemly Irish way of courting.— Donahoe's Magazine.

The Value of a Vacation. A vacation pays as much from the standpoint of character as from any other point of view. Just as “every man is a rascal when he Is sick,” so the best intentioned man in the world may be a brute when be is worn out physically and working and planning or trying to do so with a fugged, weary brain. The brutal qualities in a man's nature come to the surface when he has drained bis vitality to the dregs. He loses his self control and his passions get the better of bim. He does things which in his soul be condemns and says tilings for which he afterward hates himself, and all because he lacks physical stamina.

The program last evening was one of the best yet rendered, including intsrumental muiso by Mrs. C. J. Lutz and Miss Francis Merryman. A biography of Shelley, the poet by Miss Bertha Heller; readings by Mrs.M . F. Brittson and Miss Fay Smith. It was decided that members who leave the city or withdraw from the club may either give or sell their membership to some person who cares to take up the work. About thirty members were present and the next meeting will be held Thursday evening, October Ist.
