A TRIUMPH FOR THE LAWLESS. Sterling U. Holt and R. C. J. Pendleton Ap

pointed Police Commissioners. The State officers who eompose the State Board of Police Commissioners held their regular annual meeting yesterday morning, and appointed the new Police Commissioners for this city, Sterling R. Holt and R. C. J. Pendleton. Mr. Holt was appointed to succeed John W. Murphy, whose term expired with the old year, and Mr. Pendleton was appointed to fill the unexpired term of Colonel L A. Downing, whose resignation was accepted by the board yesterday. There were quite a number of candidates before the board, but a majority had previously determined on the men named, although there were some serious objections on the part of one or two of the members. The Stale officers who were seen after the meeting were very reticent, and as to how they voted ws past finding out It is known that at least one of them offered serious objections to allowing the saloon element to dictate who the appointees should be. Holt was selected by the saloons several days ago, and to find another man who would be as liberal was not such an easy matter. John Whitsit was favorably spoken of, but when he was approached he gave those who were engineering the thing to understand that he did not know whether he should be so liberal or not, and he was dropped. At a council held on Friday night, with Simeon Coy as chief counselor, R. C. J. Pendleton was selected

as the second man. He was out of the city, but those who knew him well vouched for his liberality. The slate, as made up, was presented to the State board, and received a majority indorsement. - Mr. Holt (of ballot-box fame) could not be found last evening, but he has already committed himself, and is unanimously in favor of "throwing things wide open." Mr. Pendleton came in from Illinois on the 3 o'clock train yesterday afternoon, and was first made aware of his appointment "by a Journal reporter. "It takes me by surprise," said he. "1 never dreamed of such a thing. I was

not a candidate, and, in fact, did not

know that commissioners were to be appointed to-day, As to my policy well I will wait and see whether or not I accent I have got to see

on what kind of a platform I am exnected to

stand before I accept. A liberal manl That's what I am. The boys all know that but I

won t commit myself now. uait until i see

what they are going to expect of me."

The first business of the new board will be to

remove Superintendent Travis, who takes no stock in the "wide open" policy. Said Mr. Travis'

to a reporter, last evening: "If that is to be

their policy I want them to release me at once

There are quite a number of candidates for the

tunerintondencv; but the street talk is that Cap

tain Colbert will be the man. Mr. Colbert is one

of the raopt efficient men on the force. At heart

he is not in favor of the liberal movement, but, of course, that will not deter him from taking the place and carrying out the instructions of

his superiors. QUERIES AND ANSWERS.

past year has been a very prosperous one with

this concern, and its prospects for this year are

flattering, indeed. It stands as an example of

what careful attention to business and tireless

energy will do to build up a large trade in the face of great competition. The house deserves the great success it has attained.

Who first devised the present system of reckoning

yeais irom the birth or Curistf JOSEPH Or. AsDEitsox, Ind. About the middle of the sixth century Dionvs

ius Exiguus, a Roman abbot of Scythian birth,

introdnced the method of dating from the birth

of Christ, which, according to his computation, took place in the fourth year of the one hundred

and ninety-fourth Olympiad, the seven hundred and fifty-third from the founding of Rome. It is generally conceded that he placed this event about four years too late. This, however, is of little importance in chronology, as it merely involves the necessity of placing the date of the birth in the year 4 B. C.

In some places it is a simple rampart, in others a solid foundation of granite. The eastern section has a height of from fifteen to thirty feet, and a breadth 60 that six horsemen may ride abreast on it There are brick towers upon the wall, at different intervals, about forty feet high.

Various persons have written to inform the Journal as to the "Philosopher's Scales." From

a wealth of information we are able to say that this poem, beginning "A monk, when his rites

sacerdotal were o'er," was written bv Jane Tay

lor, who was born in 1793, and died in 1824, and

may be found in Coatess Cyclopedia of Poetry,

Bryants Library of Poetry rd bong, and in McGuffev's Fifth Reader, edition of 1853, and in

No. 4 of Dick's Recitations and Readings.

The year just past has, everything considered,

proved a good one for Indianapolis, for business

generally bas been greatly improved. Most of

the business house make favorable reports con

cerning trade, and return thanks to their customers and friends for their patronage. Not only is this the case, but everyone is lighthearted and happy over prospects for continued improvement, and is making preparation to meet extra demands next year. The holiday

trade has been exceptionally large, and an un

usually large number of hearts have been made

happy this winter by Santa Claus's bounteous gifts. This city is wide awake and has no idea of going to sleep with the old year, and as an evidence of its enterprise manv of its business

men take the first opportunity possible to again announce their presence in the field in good fighting condition.

The Original Cade Clothing Company. The prosperity of the past year has been

shared in to a gratifying extent by the Original

Eagle, well known to the public as the oldest, and, undeniably, one of the best of our clothing establishments. The business of this immense

concern was established in 1853 (the same year of the New York Store), by Max Dernhara, now of Cincinnati, who gave it a character for fair

dealing which has always been its strongest recommendation. The present manager, Mr. L. Strauss, has been connected with the house since 1863, and under his management the one-

price principle has been strictly maintained, that having seemed to his business judgment to be

tne only way to conduct so large an establish

ment without confusion. He ha3 introduced

every modern contrivance for the rapid trans

action of business, the latest cash railway sys

tem having been recently put into the store-room. Electric lights illuminate the spacious room.

which, by the way, is admirably located in the

Ilubband Block, on Washington street, and the

show-windows, with their rich draperies and

bright color, arranged by Mr. T. Lester Gabriel,

an expert window-draper, are admired by the

crowds who stop to look at them. These beauti

ful windows are simply an introdustion to the

large stock of goods inside, where every

thing in the clothing liffe. stvlishlv made un.

and fully io keeping with the fashion of the day, can be found at reasonable prices. The increase in the ready-made clothing trade during the last few years has been marvelous. Gentlemen now buy all their clothes made up, who, a few years ago, would not have thought of such a thing; but houses like the Original Eagle have compelled attention and commanded respect by tho fine quality of goods offered, and the fashionable cut of garments, until now there is no, reason why men should pay prices for clothes simply because they bave been made to order, that would buy two Buits of equally good readymade goods. During the past year, it is a pleasure to say, the trade of the Original Eagle has been largely in excess of that of former years, and a prosperous, future is confidently predicted for its growing business. A Young Man Who Has Earned Success. No young man in the historv of Indianaoolis

has ever risen ao rapidly from comparative obscurity to a position of prominence among the ranks of its foremost business men as has P. J. Kelleher. A fewyears ago this energetic young man, placed at a disadvantage with the world,

t was earning honest pennies as a newsboy now

he stands at the very front in his chosen line of business, in the hat trade. Now everybody knows Kelleher. His original and unique method of advertising has enabled him to reach the public as no one else has and has brought to him the bulk of trade. No one who has ever patronized Kelleher patronizes another thereafter, and he holds his trade against all competition. During the past year his business has been larger than during any previous year, an announcement which will be received with pleasure by his myriad of friends. Every business roan knows that success does not come without effort nor without reason, and certain it is that there has been both in Kelleher's case. The fact that he keeps the largest stock of gentlemen's hats, caps, gloves and light furnishings to be found in the city is reason enough for everybody's patronizing him, for it is an indisputable fact that people go where they can be best served. A Great Success.

It is always a pleasure to record the success of business enterprise, and especially gratifying to

do so in these times when it requires more thniu! 5; a r i , 5 1

taxed to their utmost The man who succeeds

cannot afford to hold back and wait for trade to

be wafted to him on the wings of the wind. Not

bit of it He must labor for patronage. In

the first place he must be a good buyer and must

also thoroughly understand the needs of the

community, and then supply that want in fullest

measure. But that Is not all. He must inform the public by a judicious, unstinted use of printer's ink what he has to sell in a way which shall

attract attention, borne of the Journal readers,

especially those residing on the South Side, will

remember the 8x12 room on South Illinois street

(which looked more like a child's play-house than a real business room) that was occupied a little

more than two years ago by M. M. Williams, the now leading grocer of Indianapolis. It is

needless to recount the rapid progress of this young and enterprising business man. A visit

to his extensive grocery and family supply house,

In os. 57 and oU West Washington street, is all

the proof needed as evidence of his business

push and vim. He is the most extensive adver

tiser in his line in the city, and as a consequence

his trade is corresDondingly greater than bis

competitors. The new year starts out most au

spiciously for him. and in his commodious quarters he will doubtless add thousands of new patrons before the close of 1S87.

Among his ardent followers were Mr. and Mrs. Kirby Shoughnessy. The man was treated for au affection of the spine, and the woman for a confirmed belief thathe was ilL Mrs. Shoughnessy soon decided that she was no longer ill, but Mr. Shoughnessy died. The Doctor, who is a widower, hinted that she would make an excellent wife for a faith-curer. She though she saw through the scheme at once. Instead of being pleased with the proposition she gave him a highly-seasoned piece of her mind, and has been distributing other pieces of it

around among the Christian scientist brethren and sisters ever since. "The vile creature killed my husband," she declares, solemnly and emphatically, "because he wanted to marry me. He could have cured the poor man as easily as he cured me, and if he can cure people, he can certainly kill them, too." One lawyer objected that, as Dr. Van Anrslin had given her husband no medicine he could not be guilty of murder; but she replied that, as it is easier to euro without medicine than with it, so, also, it mnst be easier to kilL "No," she says, "he has my husband's blood upon his hands just as much as if he had cut his throat or poured poison into Mm.
