Si
Managers of Theatrical Company Jump Town.
Mr. and Mrs James Mack, ""managers of the "Taming a Husband" company, which played last night at Gant's opera house, skipped the town this morning, leaving, it is said, two weeks' salaries due the twelve members of the company, who were peacefully resting in the arms of Morpheus, while their managers and cashiers were speeding westward on the Pennsylvaia limited.
This morning a very pretty and fashionably dressed woman impatiently walked the floor of the waiting room at ihe Pennsylvania station and a portly, well dressed man looked anxiously up town as the traiu due at 6 o'clock was marked ten, twenty, thirty minutes, one hour kite. The couple were Mr and Mrs. Mack, who had left the Columbia, paid their bill and were waiting to take the train before the members of theiir company "tumbled." K2 Mrs. Mack is said to be worth $40,000 and is widely known as Dr. Emma Murphy, of Cleveland, Ohio.
Members of- this company said to the Sfear today that some time ago she conceived idea she was an actress and taking the name of Amelia Tawaey went o-n the stage, after organizing the company in Chicago, which was made up of good talent and a correspondingly big salary list.. The members are without exception of splendid appear ance and seemed to be mad all over. Fortunately they were all able to meet their obligations, and are yet in the city awaiting developments. •m The Indianapolis police were asked to stop the couple but replied they had no authority as they had commmitted no crime.
The company evidently thinks they have however, and are very much embarrassed to be of a "'busted'' company and on account of the usual brotherly feeling between newspaper people and folks of the stage their names will not be made public.
It has been proposed that a benefit performance be arranged at a popular price, that Greenfield may give a worthy company a friendly boost.

IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
Greenfield Man Stands Well With State Democracy.
The Democratic meeting, at Indianapolis yesterday to elect a chairman of the State committee was attended by nearly all the Democrats of the State who have attained prominence in the party. At the present time but few men of the party are in better standing with the organization than U. S. Jackson, of this city, who has been a member of the State committee, made the race for Congress, and is one of the very closest coufidential friends of the peerless Bryan. YJr. Jackson was in no sense a candidate for the office of chairman, but received one vote on the first and second ballots and two on the third. It took but seven votes to elect, and a prominent Democrat who wTas present said: "Had Stokes been a candidate and had made the announcement before the meeting he would have been chosen." It was a pretty compliment paid to him as it was.

PRAISES THE WORK.
J. W. Acherton, of New York, representing Scribner & Sons, was in the city yesterday and called at the high school building while the boys were at their work in manual training and was surprised and pleased to observe the equipment of the room and the skill displaj'ed by the lads in the use of tools and the interest they lake in the work.
The basement room in the southwest corner of the building is fitted up for the manual training work. Fifteen benches and as many sfets of tools are arranged in a convenient way and each section of the grades are given a lesson each week from 2:30 to 4 o'clock.
The patrons of the schools should bjr all means visit the room. Superintendent Goble is giving his personal attention to the work and is pleased with the results so far attained. The outfits supplied the department are surprisingly substantial and high grade. The boys are taught system in their work and to care for their tools, all of which are laid away in exactly the same way with the closest attention to detail.
WAYNE HOLDS KEY IN SIXTH.
No Doubt That Opposition to {Commons Will Develop.
In a long article about Republican politics in this district the Rushville Republican says: "On the vote of Wayne county, it is believed, depends the result of the contest between Owen Carr, of this city, and Joseph Commons, of Wayne county for the Sixth district Republican chairmanship. That Commons will have some trouble in securing a solid delegation from his own county

est in Wayne county. "While neither of the candidates for the chairmanship of this district is openly supporting either Goodrich or Shideler, it is understood that Mr. Carr is a Goodrich man. "It is asserted by Mr. Carr's friends in Wayne county that he can win without a Wayne county vote. It is further asserted that the Wayne county republicans will make no effort to split the Wayne county vote, being satisfied to elect Mr. Carr with the vote he will receive from ether counties. It is apparent, however from the activity shown by the Carr men there that they wish to be in a position to swing a portion of the Wayne county vote to their candidate in the event it is found necessary to do so after the convention assembles in Shelbyville. /'The fact that Congressman Watson is to attend the Shelbyville convention makesthe situation more interestion. Mr. Watson wishes to see Mr, Carr elected and he has been working steadily in his behalf."

IN SOCIAL CIRCLES.
THE CLIO CLUB.
The members of the Clio Club met Saturday with Mrs. Emma Justice on North State street.
This was the time for the election of officers for the coming year, and the lesson was consequently deferred nntil Jan. 20 when Mrs. A.C.Pilkenton will be the hostess and Mrs. Elijah Henby will have charge of the lesson—both articles of the Reading Journey found in the December Chautauquan.
The following officers were elected: Mrs. Henry Koesner, president Mr. Ed Pratt, vice president Mrs. J. H. Rogers, treasurer Miss Ola Thompson, secretary Miss Maude Thomas, corresponding secretary Mrs. A. C. Pilkenton, representative to the Federation of Clubs.
After the business of the da}^ refreshments were served by the Misses Bertha and Ada Justice, daughters of the hostess.
The ladies of the Clio Club, after studying the articles on China, India and Japan, as given in the Chautauquan together with the other helps, feel that they are somewhat better able to discern somethings of the causes of the differences that exist between the spirit of the Occident! and the spirit of the Orient but while their differences do seemingly exist between the two great earth spirits, making our separation deep and wide, yet, all men are one, having the same great common needs of humanity, as well as the attending of life We all have our joys and our sorrows, our likes and our dislikes. The great drama of life is the same for all.
The ladies feel to say with Rudyard Kipling—
"But there is neither East nor West. Border, nor breed, nor birth, When two strong men stand face to fece,
Though they come from the ends of the gig earth." j-.
®®The members of the Clio Club were happy to receive the invitation from the Cosmopolitan Club to attend their open day meeting, to be held at the Bradley M. E. church, Saturday, January 16th, at 2:30p. m., when Prof. Russell, of Earl ham

WAITING ON JUDGE VESTAL
School Board Stops Work on New Building
Work on the new school building in East Greenfield has been, stopped and all on the account of Brandy wine creek and tonothing else can be charged the reason school is not now in session in that part ot town. It wTas fully expected the building would have been completed long before this, but after work had commenced the question of the boundory of the city on east was brought up in the Brandywine ditch case as and Judge Vestal who heard the argument1 will not give his decision until the 20th, it was determined by the board to permit the work on the building to rest until then, for if it is decided that section is outside of the city, some legal steps will be necessarily taken to extend the city schuols. The decision of Judge Vestal istherefore awaited with interest by more than the petitioners and remonstrators iu the ditch, case.
