MODEL M U SIC, With Its Sweet Refrain, Has Lost Its Charm to Soothe the Savage Breast. -r The vile abuse of the MODEL in an advertisement in yesterday’s Journal is in keeping with the “red-ribbon” fiasco ot the same concern last fall. Without offering the slightest provocation—unless the prosecution of legitimate enterprise can be so considered —the proprietors of the MODEL are denounced in unmeasured terms and made the object oi personal vituperation, couched in language not sanctioned by the Decalogue or the Sermon on the Mount. Conceding the entire held and vocabulary of foul epithets to our neighbor, and disinfecting their position” by the removal of these and other impurities, we find the following tabulated statement of grievances: . First—That we claimed in an advertisement in the lnnes ot April 20,1881, that we had taken the lead in the matter of the organization of a Brass Band; and, . Second—That we said that we presumed it would be m order tor some imitative competitor to copy us in this matter. Had our friends borne in mind the motto we read to them last fall, “Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad,” and given impartial attention to the plain meaning of the language employed ly us; or were they as familiar with the grammar of the king’s English as with the language of billingsgate, they would have spared themselves their present humiliation and poured out their wrath in the secret chambers of their band, trom which the ear of the public was certain to catcji no sound. , . . . In that advertisement we did not claim that we had any precedence in the organization of brass bands in this city. In fact, we are wil ling to concede that brass bands, fully organized and equipped, were here long before the MODEL came, blowing their horns with a freedom and comfort guaranteed to them by the Constitution and a patient and generous public. Brass bands, if history is to be believed, were in existence long before the MODEL, and music was far advanced even betore the advent of our envious neighbor. There is nothing new or novel m them now, and the claim of the original patentee has long since expired. In . ( avi -lie distinguished leader of the MODEL CLOTHING COM lAN 1 8 BAND headed such organizations long before some of our neighbor's clothier-musicians or musical-clothiers were able to distinguish a cornet fron a cymbal, or a tenor from a bass drum.

WHAT THE MODEL PROPOSED In its advertisement was the giving of “a series of brilliant concerts for the benefit of the public,” and that “IN THIS as in other enterprises of which the public has had tlie benefit, it (the MODEL) takes the lead. That it may be seen that our language has been either willfully or ienorantly perverted, we quote the part of the advertisement referred to entire: “WE PROPOSE TO GIVE A SERIES OF BRILLIANT CONCERTS during the summer months for THE BENEFIT OF THE PUBLIC, and Prof. Beissenherz is now selecting and arranging a musical programme that cannot fail to receive the approve.; of all lovers of music. The MODEL in THIS, as in other enterprises in which THE PUBLIC HAS HAD THE BENEFIT, again takes the lead. Wo presume it will now he in order for some imitative competitor to follow. THE DATE OF OUR FIRST CONCERT WILL BE ANNOUNCED SHORTLY.’ The subject under consideration, which was intended AS A BENEFIT FOR THE PUBLIC, and in which the MODEL claimed the lead, was not the organization of a band; but the giving of FREE PUBLIC CONCERTS DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. It was in this that the MODEL justly claimed the lead, and it points with pride to the fact its slanderors competitor can find no record of a similar achievement in its nine years of existence here. If it is sought to draw a comparison in this respect WE REITERATE OUR CLAIM, and challenge an examination of our neighbor’s record. We have no desire to interfere with any musical ventures of the concern over the way, whose sweet bells now seem “jangled out of tune, and harsh.” They declare they have had a band more than a year, and swear to it, and furnish cumulative evidence by quoting a diminutive newspaper item, some months old, charging them with such intentions; and which item, it seems, they never publicly contradicted. The evidence is sufficient, even without the testimony of a member of the band. But where has this band of our clothing contemporary been concealed all the while ? In the confined quarters of its cellar, or the still narrower confines of its brain ? Wherever it has been, it has been secure lrom observation, and is barred by the statute ot limitations. The inspection formula of our neighbor’s strikes us as exhibiting greater noveltv and originality, and better. deserving of a patent, than their claim on'the Brass Band. They take both the lead and the cake in discovering that ability to sell clothing and to blow horns go hand in hand. The employes of the MODEL will not be found in the MODEL CLOTHING COMPANY’S BRASS BAND. They are employed to sell clothing, and thus far an appreciative public has kept them so busy that their musical aspirations, if they have any, have been effectually repressed. The proprietors, however, will endeavor to find time to attend to such further “exposures” as our friends shall be pleased to make. They are, no doubt, distressed, not only by the music of our Band, but by the music of a competition they cannot meet. M OD E L CLOTHING COMPANY.

INDIANAPOLIS, FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 25, 1884.

WHEN INDICATIONS. Friday.— Slightly warmer , fair weather. QUICKTIME! The Balloon sent up from the WHEN CLOTHING STORE April 17 descends in Kentucky the same evening, traversing a distance of over 100 miles in three hours. The following letter explains itself UNION, Kentucky, April 18, 1884. MESSRS. OWEN, PIXLEY & CO„ Indianapolis: A balloon, bearing a package of your advertisements, fell here about 6p. m. yesterday. As this is a small town the occurrence created quite an excitement. More than 150 people gathered around the strange visitor. A young man and myself were the first to see the balloon. We watched it sailing through the sky. and presently noticed that it was falling fast. We put out to see, if possible, where it fell. After going about a mile and a half wo came upon the balloon (the first one we ever saw), and found it lodged in some small trees. Gathered around it were negroes, of all sizes, from the surrounding country. Those who were not big enough to walk crawled to the spot. * * * Each one wanted to know where the strange object came from, how it was sent up, what was in the box, etc. There were men hunting tor their wives, fearing, in some cases, that the women were drowned. In fact, they were all crazy. Don't send over any more for awhile until they hunt up their wives and children. Some have been gone for three days waiting for another balloon to come to hand. There are advertisements of yours all over town, on the walls of all our people’s homes, and in the stores. When a person comes in and asks, “ Where did you get that picture?” they tell him of the big balloon, etc. [The remainder of our friend’s graphic and interesting letter is devoted to instructions —which we will duly attend to—respecting the ten dollars' worth of goods from our stock to be presented to him for finding the balloon and reporting the same, as per our order to that effect accompanying the balloon.] (Signed) WILLIAM FULLTVORE. The Balloon was sent up from the WHEN April 17, at 3p. m. It irose almost vertically to a great height; remained seemingly sta tionary overhead for about ten minutes; then floated away to the southeast and descended as above described—sailing a distance of over 100 miles in a trifle less than three hours.

A NOVEL TELEGRAPH SYSTEM, The New Plan Which Has Recently Been Exhibited in the City of Boston. Boston, April 24.—A new telegraph system by which the present code is simplified has been exhibited here. Chemically prepared paper, moved by clock work, receives the record of signals sent over the lines, which are represented by dots and dashes as in the Morse code. On the moving strip of paper rest the points of six fine iron wires or styluses, and the chief feature of the new system consists in enabling the operator at the transmitting station to make a signal through whichever one of the six styluses he may choose, although only one line wire is used, and in this way to make the position of the mark which is recorded in the chemical paper play a part in determining its meaning. The new system is the application to telegraphy of the system of notation employed in music. Just as the pitch of a half note is determined by the bar in which it occurs, so a telegraphic character is by this method given six different meanings, according to the stylus through which it is sent and the position in which it is recorded. The bars of the staff are ruled by copper styluses, which make a red line on the receiving strip as it is moved forward, a constant current from a local battery being passed through them for this purpose. When a message is to be sent by hand six keys arc used at the transmitting station, each corresponding to one of the styluses at the receiving station, or one key pivoted to swing easily over six contact points may be employed. As each signal has six different meanings, according to the bar on which it occurs, only one sixth as many are required as in the Morse system, and for these the shortest and simplest are selected. Thus, a dot is used for the six letters which occur most frequently. In this way the actual time occupied in making the signals required to send a message is reduced fully one half from that required by the Morse system, so that the speed of transmission is doubled. Among the advantages claimed by the new system are the readiness with which it is learned, the ease with which a message can be translated after it is received, and the impossibility of stealing it from the wires during transmission by the use of a sounder. The process of sending messages has been still further simplified by a machine just completed, in which each letter is given a separate key. by the depression of which the proper signal is sent over the wire automatically, thus requiring no more skill to send a message than to operate a typo writer. Presbyterian Foreign Missions. Milwaukee, April 24.-—The Woman’s Presbyterian Board of Foreign Mission of the Northwest closed a three days’ session to-night, and will meet next year in Chicago. The election of officers resulted in the choice of Mrs. A. 11. Hoge, of Chicago, president; recording secretary. Mrs. Ed. Blaikie, of Chicago; home corresponding secretaries, Mrs. G. 11. Tafliu, of Chicago, Mrs. 11. S. Fry, of Chicago, Mrs. A. D. Pen field, of Chicago; foreign corresponding secretaries, Mrs. Albert Keep, of Chicago, Mrs. S. H. Perry, of Chicago, Mrs. H. F. Waite, of Chichago, and Mrs. B. Douglass, of Chicago; treasurer, Sirs. C. B Farwell. of Chicago; auditor, 11. M. Sherwood, of Chicago. The annual report shows they raised $66,000 for missionary work during the year, an incroase of 20 per cent, over the previous year. Fined Heavily for Contempt of Court. New York. April 24.—1n tho case of Francis J. Fogg against General Clinton B. Fisk, the latter was adjudged guilty of contempt of court for refusing to submit to examination as a party before trial, and was fined five hundred dollars and ordered into custody. Tho unveiling of a monument erected to the memory of Judge Jno. M. Elliott, who was killed by Col. Buford because he rendered an adverse decision, took place at Frankfort, Ky., yesterday. Several thousand people were present and heard the addresses of Hon. Isaac Caldwell, of Louisville, and others.

NATIONAL CAPITAL TOPICS. Mr. Hewitt Makes an Indecent Assault on the Secretary of the Navy. Mr. Calkins Defends Mr. Chandler, and Leaves the New York Congressman in a Very Unenviable Position. Tile Senate Complaining of the Delay of Public Business in the House. Uncertainty as to Whether the House Will Approve the Bankruptcy Bill—J. D. Wiiite and His Constituency. AN ATTACK ON CUANrn.KR. The Secretary of the Navy Vigorously Defended by Mr. Calkins. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, April 14.—Mr. Calkins laid down some wholesome doctrine in the House this afternoon. Ho showed the Democrats wherein they are false economist, hypocrites, and deceivers. Mr. Cox, of New York, had attacked the Republican party because it had not provided a better navy long ago, yet he opposed the Senate’s amendment to the naval bill providing for steel cruisers. He did that, he said, because he did not think Secretary Chandler the proper person to disburse so largo a sum of money. Mr. AbramS. Hewitt, Cox’s colleague thought we should have a better navy, but ho. too, would not trust Chandler. Both these distinguished Democratic exponents cast reflection upon the honesty and integrity of Secretary Chandler until Mr. Calkins arose in the defense of the Secretary. He said it was an easy matter to besmirch a public official, to charge him with dishonor; that it was something anyone could do to rise on end and yell, “fraud,” “thief,*’ etc., hut it was quite another thing to locate it—to prove it. He did not at first think much of our present Secretary of the Navy, he said, but since he had had dealings with him he concluded him to be as competent and honest as any man who had ever filled the position—yes, he was the best Secretary of the Navy this government ever had. He pleaded for protection of our great coast cities; said he came from the interior, a point that could not be reached by foreign ships; no property could be destroyed in his district by a foreign foe nor life taken, yet he would vote for a navy that became the dignity of our great country and sufficient to protect the millions of property and live? in the great cities, now helplessly exposed to the attack ot the weakest nation on earth. He would do this, notwitstanding the representatives of those marts in Congress would oppose it His speech was entirely extempore, and was the most forcible he lias delivered this session. In conversation to-night Mr. Hewitt acknowledged that he was much liumilated to find, to-day, tha* >he records of the Treasury Department did not bear out his charge that Secretary Chandler was guilty of crooked dealings in that he had failed to account for several hundred thousand dollars received for old ships belonging to the government, which he had sold. As soon as Mr. Hewitt made the charge, Mr. Calkins telo graphed to the Secretary of the Treasury to as certain the facts in the case. Immediately a reply came back that the money had, several months ago. beeu turned into the treasury. Mr. Hewitt may apologize.

Chandler’s Answer to Hewitt. To the Western Associated Press. Washington, April 24. —In reply to the statement made by Representative Hewitt in tho Hous 3. to day, in regard to the alleged failure of the Secretary of the Navy to deposit in the treasury the proceeds of the sale of old vessels, Secretary Chandler to-night says the amount realized from the sale of old vessels, as given in his annual report, Dec. 1, 1883, was, in round numbers, $384,000. From this amount $20,000 —the sum bid for the Niagara—must he deduct ed, that sale having subsequently been canceled. The remainder —$355,000 —the Secretary accounts for follows: Deposited with the United States Treasurer $275,000 Deposited with the Assistant Treasurer of the United States at San Francisco 40,000 Paid for breaking up tho Canandaigua, at Norfolk, and tho Connecticut, at Boston, and for advertising, in accordance with law 37,000 Total $358,000 The excess of $3,000 in the treasury over the amount to he accounted for is due to overpayments on deposits by bidders. All deposits, Secretary Chandler says, were made by the Navy Department immediately upon the receipt of the purchase money from tiie various bidders. WHITE, OF KENTUCKY. Tiie Only Republican from That State—Tho Constituency He Represents. Special to the Indianapolia Journal. Washington, April 24.—T0 day your correspondent asked Representative Robertson, of Kentucky, how it was that the erratic John I). White, of Kentucky, continued representing that State with such monotony aud disagreeable continuity. “It is a little funny,” said Mr. Robertson; “you see Mr. White represents a district in which there are numerous moonshine distilleries. Even when the whisky is made there legally it is on a small scale. Therefore the people are against the large distilleries, and are wild against the internal revenue laws. Most of them were on the Union side during the late war. They cannot see why the government for which they fought should tax their little whisky production. Now, John D. White is always getting in the Record with his charges against whisky-rings, and his bawling appeals for the repeal of the internal revenue laws. Then there is another thing—White has influence with tho administration. He has probably secured more appointments for the people in tho departments here tlMm any other member of Congress. These appointees are not always Republicans. On tho contrary, a majority of them aro politically opposed to White. The people in his district aro very clannish. Ho has secured appointment for the sci ons of a large number of influential Democratic families. Now, these people don’t care very much about politics, anyway. So their influence goes to White. That influence being powerful and widespread, he thus secures most important allies. Whito rides through his district when the campaign is on and makes speeches everywhere. lie won’t divide time with anybody. He

will make his speech and pursue his way on horseback to the next place at which he is billed and make it again. He points with pride to the various criticisms made of him.” Such is the estimation in which the Bourbons of Kentucky hold their only Republican member of Congress. It cannot be said of White, however, that his career in the House is anything but upfight. CLERKS OF FEDERAL COURTS. Gross and Net Earnings of the Clerks of the Indiana Courts. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, April 24. —In response to a House resolution Secretary Folger has caused to be prepared a statement showing the gross earn ings per annum of each United States Circuit and District Court clerk, the expense of his office, aud the net earnings which have been paid to him each year, from the beginning of the fiscal year 1873 to the close of the fiscal year 1883.

An Investigation that Will Result in Needed Amendments to the Present Statute. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, April 24.—The Pacific Bank investigation, while not establishing exactly what stockholders desired, has not been without results. The banking and currency committee of the House will report a bill amending the laws in relation to national banks that will very likely prevent future disasters of the Pacific Bank variety. Judge Buckner, chairman of the committee, has prepared several sections of the proposed bill, which will be submitted to the full committee at the next meeting. They provide amendments to the Revised Statutes relating to national banks: First, by defining more definitely the powers of the Comptroller of Currency and leaving less to his discretion than at present. Second, it will be unlawful for banks which have been granted an thority to increase their capital stock, to use any portion of that increase for the purpose of paying old debts. Third, whenever a bank holding a United States charter shall become involved, or whenever the stockholders demand an investigation, it shall bo the duty of the Comptroller to cause an examination by a competent examiner who shall not be the regular examiner for the district in which the bank is located. There will be several other provisions, but they have not yet been definitely formulated.

TILE BANKRUPTCY BILL. Uncertainty as to Whether It Will Be Approved by the House. Special to the Tndianapolia Journal. Washington, April 24.—The talk among members of the House to-day does not warrant the prediction that the bankruptcy bill will become a law. There is a very good chance for the measure, however, because of its forward position on the calendar. Jt has passed the Senate. Identically the same bill has been reported to the House favorably from the judiciary commit tee. It can be thus seen that the advocates of the bill have been shrewd and have allowed no opportunity to escape. But it has many opponents. The feeling on one side or tho other lias not been clearly developed in the House. Its friends predict, confidently, that it will go through. But there is a well-defined opposition to any bankrupt law. It comes principally from the South and West. As the Southern and Western members combined constitute a large majority of the House, its passage is by no means assured, although not- all Hie Western and South ern men will vote against it. THANKS FROM TIIE CATHOLICS* Gratitude for the Efforts in Behalf of the American College at Rome. Washington, April 24.—The Secretary of State sent to the House, to-day, in response to a recent resolution, all correspondence on file in the department in regard to the proposed sale of the American college in Rome. The principal features and results of the negotiation upon this subject are already known, and most of the letters and reports have been published. Follow ing is a copy of a letter from Archbishop Corrigan to Secretary Frelinghuysen, written upon receipt of the news that the college had been exempted from sale: New York, April 1. To Hon. Fred. T. Frelinghuysen, Secretary of State: Dear Sir—ln the name of Cardinal McOloskey. I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your favor of the 29th ult., which conveys tho gratifying intelligence that the American college in Rome has been exempted from the sale impending over the property or the propaganda. His Eminence begs to tender sincere thanks to his Excellency tho President, to yourself and to Mr. Astor, the minister resident at Rome, for the very courteous, prompt and efficacious interest taken in this matter. Besides expressing his own indebtedness for the good offices of the government. so kir.dly and so successfully interposed, tho Cardinal feels that he may, also, in the premises, make himself the interpreter of the gratitude of the other bishops of the United States, as well as of the entire Catholic population. I have the honor to be, dear sir, very respectfully your obedient servant, M. A. CorrigaN, Coadjutor Bishop. A BLOW AT “THE CAUSE.” Adverse Report on Woman Suffrage—Extract from tiie Minority Report. Washington, April 24.—The House committee on judiciary to day submitted four reports relative to extending the right of suffrage to women. The adverse majority report was prepared by Mr. Maybury, and says, in part: To permit the entrance of political contention into the home would be either useless or pernicious. If a man and wife agree, it would bo useless; if they differ, it would he pernicious. In lhe former event tho volume of ballots alone would l>e increased without change of results. In tho latter, the peace and contentment of the home would be exchanged for the bedlam of political debate, and it would become a scene of moral debasement. In answer to tho question often suggested, what portion and what class of women would avail themselves of the privilege of suffrage if it- were extended to women, your committee is of the opinion that, while a few intelligent women such as appeared before the committee in advocacy of [Continued ou Second Page.]

THREE KINDS OF FOLITICS. Reports of the Doings of Republicans, Democrats aud Greeubackers. Friends of Senator Sherman Score a Victory in the Selection of Delegates .it Large in the Ohio Convention. Meaning of the Defeat of Miller and Cornell in the Utica Convention. 3lr. Blaine's Popularity in Michigan—The lowa Democrats Want TiDlen— Political Action in Various Sections. A VICTORY FOR SHERMAN. Mr. Blaine's Adherents Defeated in the Ohio Republican Convention, to the Indianapolis Journal. Cleveland, April 24.—The State delegation at large to Chicago is composed of throe Sherman men and ono Blaine adherent. Judge J. B. Forakcr, of Hamilton county, the defeated can didate for Governor; Major William McKinley, of Stark county, and Mr. M. A. Hanna, of Cleveland, being the gentlemen named in the Sherman interest. Hon. W. H. West is a personal friend of Blaine, and pledged to his support. Os the first three delegates named, Foraker and McKinley are Sherman to the end; Mr. Hanna, being a business man, with extensive shipping and iron interests, is for the “best man,” with a preference in favor of Sherman on account of his financial policy. The alternates are Hon. John P. Green, of Cleveland; Rev. James Poindexter, of Columbus; Col. Robert Harlan, of Cincinnati, and Graham Dowell, of Xenia—all colored men. The gentlemen selected for electors at larg* are General John Beatty, of Columbus, and General James Conily, of Toledo, both of whom made a desperate struggle for the position of delegate at large. The reason for the Sherman men capturing the convention is easily arrived at. The interests of the “hero of resumption” were cared for by the shrewdest and keenest politicians and workers in the State, such men as Beatty, Grosvenor, J. C. Donaldson, of Columbus, Charles Kurtz, of Athens, and Smith L. Johnson, of Columbus, having been working in his behalf. On the other hand the Blaine men have had no organization; their work has been confined principally to disturbing the atmosphere with hurrahs for their favorite. Wind does not count for much when compared with work, however. The State ticket nominated is faultless. Hon. James S. Robinson, of Hardin county, for Secretary of State; Hon. W. W. Johnson, of Lawrence county, for Supreme Judge and C. A. Flickinger, of Defiance county, for Commissioner of Public Works. Representatives from all parts of the State speak in the highest terms of the candidates, who are men of no particular section, but strong throughout the State. The platform is scarcely an admirable piece of statesman like work. It is, beside being vague and uncertain in action, considered by the majority as scarcely an average literary production. This being ono ot the iron centers, the protection plank was the first to be constructed. The wool tariff of 1867 is by resolution demanded again, and the farmers are enthusiastic. An effort was made to handicap the party by weighting the platform with a resolution indorsing the Scott law, a liquor taxation measure, and arraigning the Democracy for their stand on the question. The good sense of the convention prevailed, it being considered that in a national campaign local issues are bettor when kept out of sight, and the resolution was knocked out. An anti polygamy resolution, drafted by a member of the ministers’ alliance, and presented to the committee, was inserted on demand of the people of the Western Reserve.

The Proceedings in Detail. To the Western Associated Press. Cleveland, April 24. —Tho convention was called to order at 9:45 this morning, and prayer was offered by Rev. A. 11. Norcross, pastor of Central M. E. Church. Tho committee on permanent organization reported l’or permanent- President Hon. Wm. Me Kinky, jr., of Stark county, Ohio, who was elected. Mr. McKinley was escorted to tho chair by a committee, and made a brief and eloquent speech. The names of Blaine, Sherman, Arthur, Grant, Lincoln. Edmunds and Garfield were vociferously applauded as they were mentioned by the speaker. The order of business was agreed upon as follows: Nomination of candidate for Secretary of State, Supreme Judge, member of the Board of Public Works, delegates at large. The following candidates for Secretary of State were proposed: 0. I. ( lark and J. I. Oglevee, of Franklin county; Henry Luskey, of Cincinnati:'Oscar Shepherd, of Preble county; J. S. Robinson, of Hardin county; Dwight Crowell, of Ashtabula county; H. A. Axline, of Muskingum county. The first ballot resulted: Total vote. 690; necessary for a choice, 346. Oglevee 145, Robinson 131, Axline 98, Luskey 90. Clark 86, Shepherd 78, Crowell 43. No choice. Second ballot: Robinson 250 1 2. Oglevee 174 1-2, Luskey 87. Axlino 70. Crowell 47. Shepherd 37. Crowell and Shepherd were withdrawn. Third ballot: Robinson 344. Oglevee 144, Axline 46, Luskey 44, Clark 45. The nomination was made unanimous. Forjudge of the Supreme Court, Wm. W. Johnson, present Chief Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, and John W. Brasie, of Lancaster; were proposed. Johnson received 529 votes and was declared nominated. For member of the Board of Public Works there were named George Platt, of Hamilton county: E. B. Henderson, of Muskingum; Z. T. Lewis, of Muskingum; 0- A. Flickinger. of Defiance ami Leo Welz, of Clinton. The roll of counties was called, but before the count was made, a motion was adopted making Fleckinger’s nomination unanimous. For delegate at largo to tho Chicago convention, Judgo J. B Foraker was elected by acclamation. A motion to elect Judge W. 11. West, by acclamation, was lost.
