"A Hoosier Daisy,” presented by Miss Bessie Clifton and her excellent company wLen it appears at the oftera house, Tuesday. February 17th. This is Jno. A. Frazer’s master-piece comedy and ranks with such plays as "Way Down East," “Lover’s Laue,” etc. The novel title role, that of an awkward, gawky Indiana poor house waif, will at once place it pre-emin-ently in the first rank of comedy creations, as one of the most unique characters ever seen on the stage. The entire surrounding is made up of nat■iral home-like people telling a dramatic story of more than usual interest. Ine scenery for the production is realistic. The company one of the very Izest ever brought together for a production of this kind.

Ind., Feb. 16.—Frank Findley, charged with a criminal as sault on lAicy Rheinheart, a feeble minded girl aged nineteen, was con vdcted by a jury. The case occupied three days. Origin of Earrings, According to the Moslem creed the reason why every Mohammedan lady considers it her duty to wear earrings is attributed to the following curious legend: Sarah, tradition tells us. was so jealous of the preference shown by Abraham for Hagar that she took a solemn vow that she would give her self no rest until she had mutilated the fair face of her hated rival and bond maid. Abraham, who had knowledge of his wife's intention, did his utmost to pacify his imbittcred spouse, but long In vain. At length, however, she relented and decided to forego her plan of revenge. But how was she to ful till the terms of ’he vow she had entered into? After mature reflection she saw her way out of the difficulty Instead of disfiguring the lovely sea tun s <>f her bondmaid she contented herself with boring a hole in each of the rosy lobes of her ear®. The legend does not inform us wbetb er Abraham afterward felt it incum bent v.i»on him to mitigate the smart of the«e little wounds by the gift of a costly pair of earrings or whether Ha gar procured th'' trinkets for herself The fact r>-mains. however, that the Turkish women, all «>f whom wear: earrings from their seventh year, de-j rive the use of these jewels from Ilagar. who is held in veneration as the mother of Ishmael, the founder of their nice.

The reason, according to Lady Grove in her "Seventy-one Days - ' Camping." goes back to a slight social awkwardness involved in carrying out j that prescription. A distinguished naturalist bad been presented to the sultan, and as lie bowed bis head to the ground, instead I of supporting himself with his bands, he placed them behind his back: con- > sequently his forehead came against the marble floor with a loud bang, and ' he had some difficulty in recovering himself. The sultan was amazed. “Has not the gentleman had the honor of enter- - ing the presence of his own sovereign?" he asked another visitor later. "Probably be has had that honor, your majesty.” was the answer. “Then.” said the sultan, "be should have learned the art of making saluta- ! tions without the occurrence of such I accidents.” Thereupon bis majesty learned with astonishment that this lowly form of obeisance is not observed nt European i courts, and he immediately decreed I that none but the usual customs de- 1 manded by European sovereigns should be required of Europeans when they entered or left bis presence. A Close Combination. “They can get up combinations in the : west to beat the band." said a Phila delpbla drummer who had come iu off a trip and had a shortage to explain. “In a town in western lowa I had a difference of opinion with a landlord and called him a liar. He was a depu ty sheriff, and he arrested me. His brother was prosecuting attorney, and he was against me. The judge was his brother-in-law, and he tried the case. I said I’d take ten days in jail sooner than pay the fine, but when I came to be locked up the jailer said to me: " ‘You'd better pay. I’m the father-in-law of the judge, and it will be my duty to put you in a cell wtti a prisoner who’s gone crazy and wants to kill somebody.’ “I paiu and was released," said the drummer, "but I wanted revenge. 1 ( went to the only lawyer iu town with a reputation and stated my case and | asked turn to take it. “TVs he replied, ‘but think how it would look I in son in law to tba jailer '

GREAT AND GOOD FRIEND That Is the Term Minister Bowen Re ceives From Venezuela, Washington, February 16 —Minister Bowen expects to begin the prepara tlon of the protocols with the representatives of the unallted powers for the settlement of the claims of the citizens of those nations who have suf sered as a result of the troubles in Venezuela. There are eight of these claimant nations Including the United States. Mr. Bowen’s belief is that matters will move forward with great er rapidity than they did with the rep resentatlves of the allied governments who were enforcing the blockade against Venezuela The suggestion has been made that as the unallfed nation* naturally are opposed to any preferential treatment to Germany Great Britain and Italy, that In all probability Venezuela, the United States and France will be lined up as representing the eight unallied nations at The Hague as opposed tn the thre« allies. Mr Bowen continues to receive numerous congratulatory dispatches from Venezuela on the satisfactory outcome of his work here. One of those which he prizes most highly is from the citizens of JaGuayra. through the prefect, which ’■eads as follows: "LaGuara, Venezuela.—The citizens of La Guayra. through me. felicitate you as the great and good friend of Venezuela."

Indianapolis, Feb. 16.—Ths b otlS( and senate met at 10 this ruorniaj Speaker Marshall did not look m sant as usual, as there were vacant seats.

The rules were changed at the beginnin ( of the session so as to begin at ]i) There are but three weeks remaining and if the members transact half the business before the close of the ses sion they will be doing well. Tht rules of the senate were changed U 1 fore the session to prevent just such a condition as nas arisen, but the change, while beneficial to an extent has not accomplished its entire pnr pose. There are probably between I 4tK» and 500 bills pending The house has acted on more senate bills that the senate has on house bills. The governor has signed twelve and vetoet two —a remarkable record for over iii weeks - work This time last session four or five times as many bills hie been handed down. The senate com mittee on judiciary today reported ii favor of a bill repealing the Sundaj | baseball law. This will open anolhet hard fight. The important bills thai are to be considered this week are the Matson voting machine bill, the Gate salary bill, the Gray railroad consoli dation bill, the Stansbury school com mission bill and the Slack resolutlot empowering the governor to seize an< operate coal mines In time of emer B enc yONE DOLLAR EACH Is What These Ten Men Got for Then Votes.
