Old Clothes Men Useful Members of Society Where Many Cast-Off Articles Go. The rniscellanoons collection of a collector of cast-6ff clothing and other articles .one has no use for attracted the attention of the reporter the other day. There was in his dilapidated cart an almost endless variety of the trash a collector of that kind is willing to tike and give a few coppers for. .What do jou do with all the stuff you collect?" asked the reporter. "Do! Why sell it, of course." "And who will buy the odds and ends that housekeepers are glad to get rid of!" Tho shoes go to an old shoe-maker over the canal who cannot get the custom work ho once did. He gives me a small sum for the old elios I boy and mends them so they often look very respectable. He sells tnem to poor people who cannot afford to buy now shoes." "Does ho mako a living in that way!" , "Not a very good one but h gets enough to keep him in food, and he buys his clothes of me. The rags and iron go to the men who buy that sort of ittutt'. and the cans, jars and jags go to the secoud-hand dealers, as do the other things." inere is not tne demand for secondhand goods there onco was," said a dealer, later on, to the reporter, "becauso articles are mad -5 so cheap now that even the poorest would rather have a cheap new article than a good second-hand piece for tho same money. When second-hand clothes aro .sold they are first mended as well as possililft. flnil m:idfi rrntalil Ufantr a. wnm i n who has nice clothes will send for the second-hand deajcr and show what 6he has. and rind out how much she can obtain for them. If the price amounts to several dollars, sav half the price of a new dress, she will sell one or tvro dresses, sometimes more, before they are entirely too ragged for any one to wear, and buy a new one. Several dealers make visits to regular customers, both spring and fall, and buy whatever they will part with. The trade for second-hand clothes isalways good, for many a tine dress is purchased ready made and in good order, for the same amount that three or four yards of tho dress material would cost, not counting any trimmings, tindings or making. Men's clothes are more easily put in order, and more readily sold. The old saying that on half the world doesn't know how the other half lives' is never truer than in the one particular of hor some very poorer stingy people live on the refuse of the better class, hnancially." If tho people who can go to the store and buy what they want should spend a week in one of the second-hand shops and watch the class of customers and what they buy. it would be a revelation to them. These . customers want good things, and get better than they would at other places, though in not such good condition. The world generallv knows not to what straits the poor are driven to pot even the commonest comforts of life. The ol' clo' man knows more of that side of life even than the grocer or the coal man. Thrown from a Street-Car. James Bledsoe, while riding on a strcetcaryesterday, met with perhaps a fatal accident. He was handing his faro to the conductor when the nickel slipped from his hand and fell upon the bottom of the car. In stooping to pick it up, Bledsoe, losing his balance, was pitched headlong into the street, sustaining a fracture of the shonlder-blade and severe internal injuries. . Undertaker Krepelo conveyed the injured mn to his home, 550 North West street ffrosxTUH. at Win. U Elder's,

THE GERMAN OKPIIAXS IIOME

An Anniversary Observance with Everything to Contribute to Its Success Visitors from Cincinnati Add to the Day's Interest Music and Eeh'sions Exercises, with Speeches by the Major and Others. It is twenty-two years ago yesterday since the local branch of the German Protestant Association first conceived the project of establishing an orphans' home in this city, on a basis like that of similar institutions at Cincinnati. The idea was shortly afterwards carried into cftect, in 186$, with assistance and donations from tho Cincinnati association. The nucleus of the present flourishing institution was then formed, and to-dy the home is a large ana spacious building, with fifty-six fatherless and motherless children as inmates. Surrounding the home aro well-laid-out grounds, six to seven acres in extent. . Yesterday special efforts were made by the association to observe the anniversary. Early in the morning a special tram conveyed to this city six car-loads of ladies and gentlemen, many of whom had been cared for by the institution at Cincinnati. Most of tbem to-dav are prosperous people. Shortly ' before 10 o'clock the gentlemen of this party formed themselves into a procession, and, led by the Newport Drum Corps, paraded the principal streets of the city, and then proceeded to tho grounds attached to the Home, where the principal features of the celebration were to take place. Hero every requisite for a day of mingled interest and enjoyment had been prepared for the inmates and visitors. Several tents had been erected, in which ladies of the auxiliary society of the home were busy dispensing edibles of every description: and for the special benefit of the happy children cakes in abundance, with ice-cream and lemonade, gladdened their eyes and arrested their appetites. At l(hS0 o'clock relicions Rprvirea wern held, in which the congregations of the United Protestant German Churches of the city participated. Prayers and Addresses were delivered by the Kevs. J. R. Mueller, Stern, Miller, Wittich, Sternlet, Peters, Georg, and Hansing, and singing was uiven by the united choirs of the different churches. From 12 until 2 o'clock a substantial repast was furnished by the ladies' auxiliary society. In the afternoon the exercises, consisting of instrumental music and singing, were f;one through, and a short address was deivered by 1? ather F. Hummel, tho superintendent of the home. Mayor Denny also briefly addressed tho large audience, as follows: It has been my pleasure to attend many of your annual meetings since this institution was fouuded, and I have never come hero that I did not feel better on account of my coming. The benevolent npirit that prompts the good people who control this asylum to prepare for these annual meetings, and tho good fellowship that Is always luanlfesUd at tbem, makes every witness reel that life is worth living. It elevates one's ideas of his race, and brings him in closer and more friendly fellowship with his neighbors. The benevolent and charitable side of humanity is the best side. Every one coming into thee grounds and looking into the faces of theae dependent children must feel a quickening of the liner sensibilities of his uature. It makes us feel that it ia Indeed 'more iblepsed to give than to receive." The community that builds up and fosters such institutions as this is always a good one to live in. The men and women who give their time, and talents, and monev to sustain them are good neighbors to live by. Their children, as a rule, will be safe playmates ' for other children; for the man or the woman who looks after the unfortunate and helpless orphans can bo depended upon to properly bring up his or her owu children. This kind is tho most unselfish and noble of all charities. To minister to the wants of tho unfortunate, under auy circumstances, is commendable; but to take up the helpless orphan and feed its body, and mind, and soul as you do here Is God -like. The great body of humanity little understand the amount of labor, and patience, and treasure required to erect and maintain an Institution of this kind. Very few persons know what great i acriilces are made by the men and women who give so much of their time and labor, without pecuniary reward, to this kind of work; and only the few ever stop to think what is really accomplished in these asylums. Only those of you who know the history of the little waifs that are brought hero can know the number of lives that are saved and the amount of suffering that is ameliorated and provented by the care here bectowed. And you, alone, can properly appreciate the great good done to the children themselves, and to society, by the lessons here taught. It is a knowledge of these facts that gives you encouragement and adds interest to the work. And this knowledge of the good being accomplished is your only, but your rich, reward. It Is my earnest wish that this Institution ma continue to prosper and inore&se in usefulness, and that its many friends at home and abroad may continue to cheer the teschers and oflcera by their presence, from year to year, as they have done in the past. Should one wish to know of the work done by this society a tangible proof can now be seen in thia body of men now before us, once homeless orphans; no w, by the care of this society, made educated men, good citizens and useful members of society. After an interval, during which the choir of the Zion Evangelical Church gave a pleasing rendering of sacred song. Professor Emmerich delivered an eloquent address. He commenced by saying that upon several occasions he had the honor of addressing audiences who had gathered to celebrate the anniversary of the Orphans' Home, and he was always ready to say a good word for the institution. Tho first impulse which probably actnated many of those who had attended the celebration was that of amusement, and taken from this standpoint they had surely cause to celebrate this festival. If they looked around at th beautiful and well-arranged home and grounds, the well-cultivated gardens and fields, the children who wero so well cared for and reared, so that in later years they could tako their place among those who had been blessed in the possession of parents, they must feel willing to help this good work. It was this thought, as well as that of amusement, which he felt sure had brought 60 many people there. It was more blessed to give than to receive, and. ne inereiore asKea mem au to contriDuro their mite to carry on the good work. It was very important that children should receive a good education, but how often it was neglected, and the children grew up ignorant and tnrned to vice and crime. Ihey are noMo blame, because they know no better: tho fault lay with tho parents. The speaker further alluded to the good work the institution was accomplishing in this respect, and the careful guiding and training to lit them for the duties of after life they received at the home. He urged upon the audience not to forget the occasion which bad brought them together, but to jgive help willingly with heart and hand, not letting "the right hand know what the left hand doetb." After the exercises people dispersed about the grounds, and enjoyed themselves thoroughly. The receipts of the day, from every source, amounted to the respectable total of $1,693.20, which will go to the benefit of tho home. Experts In Hiking. The conversation was upon the long ago. "There have been great changes in Indianapolis in the way of living," said Postmaster Wallace. "I remember the enterprising citizen who introduced the system of delivering groceries to the purchaser. That's over a third of a centnry ago. His name was Hcdderly, androm hero ho went to Minneapolis, where ho made a fortune. Previous to his innovation the person who bought anything at market or grocery had to take it home himself. I remember well wheeling a barrel of Hour hi a barrow from Washington street to my lather's residence on the corner of Massachusetts avenue and New Jersey street. In those days nearly ?very family kept a cow, and the husband, if he was the richt sort, milked her himself. I kent mv cow, and was a first-class hand at milking, A and I bad lawyers, doctors and preachers all about me who milked their own cows, which were pastured on the verdant patches of vacant ground which were numerous enough then all over town. The man who would have suggested a cow ordinance in those days would have been very speedily retired from politic." Charged with Tlargiary. Edward Gould, for whom th? police have been looking for the past week, was arrested yesterday on a charge of burglary and lodged in a cell at the police station. It is said ho burglarized two dwelling-

houses on North Mississippi street, atone of which he was recognized by the occupants. Ho is believed to have carried away considerable booty, but no record of it was made at the station.

BOARD OP TKADU rARAGP.APHS. Talk Arnon? Men Who Represent the City's Commercial and Manufacturing Interests. It is very important, said a business man, that definite action be taken at the meeting of governors to-night relative to the much-needed improvements in the Board of Trade building, in order to get through with tho workbeforo the winter sets in. Again, it would be a good thing to have the improvements finished for the date in November upon which the South American delegation is to visit tho city. There is no question of the need of the improvements, and the desirability of doing everything possible to increase the number of members, for the stronger numerically the board is the better it will be prepared to further tho best interests of the city. A member told the following story on the floor of the board Saturday morning: A stranger was going up Meridan street when ho caught sight of the workmen on tho soldiers', monument. He stopped and viewed them for a moment, and then accosted a passer-by, with the question: "What aro they building there!" "That is the soldiers' monument," was tho answer. "What!" was the astonishing query of the stranger, "are they going to build it of wood!" The member asked the place of the man's nativity, and ho replied that ho hailed from St. Louis. The secretary of the board has been receiving a great number of inquiries lately from neighboring cities, asking that an account be forwarded there of local trackage charges, which they claim appear to be excessive. In time past, Indianapolis was especially favored m the matter of cost, as regards switching and tracking, the charge being a merely nominal sum, whereas now tho cost per car is $5 or There is a movement on foot 'in St. Louis, among the prominent business men of that city, to have established a uniform system of bankruptcy throughout the United State. "A natioual bankruptcy act," said President Tanner, of the local Board of Trade, "would not prove beneficial because the peculiar . condition of trade in the various States will enable all those States to make lawn best adapted to the interests of their business men. A universal bankruptcy law would be a verygood thing with merchants on the seaboard, where they would have their trade scattered around, but such a law would be detrimental to the best interests of merchants in the interior, whose busidess only covers an area of three or four States." Vice-president Picl says that the beneivts to be derived from such a law would accrue to those merchants who have their business all over tho country. But as a general thing a bankrupt, he thinks, wonld not pay out as much under a national law as ho would under a State law. The opinion of a number of the members of the board was asked in regard to this matter, and the general sentiment was adverse to a national bankruptcy law. In connection with the visit of the South American delegation the Indianapolis Herald propose to publish upon the day of their visit an issue of that publication in Spanish and English. This is a commendable enterprise in honor of tho visitors. In order to make no distinction the Board of Trade invites all manufacturers throughout the State who have business with South America and Mexico to send in their names , to bo tabulated with the local merchants. CHASING A FISH-DEALER. Incident on Bismarck Street in Which a Revolver and Threats Play an Important Tart. Whatca aie very near proving a tragedy occurred yesterday .morning on Bismarck street. . A man only partially dressed was seen to hurriedly leave a house in that vfcinity and run up the street, followed directly after by another man, who was very much excited. The latter exclaimed that he would shoot the man ahead of him if he could catch him. This the pursuer eucceeded in doing, but owing to the presence of a policeman the threat was not carried into eliect. Tho fugitive proved to be James Rogers, who keeps a fish stall on Virginia avenue, and the pursuer a man named Yates, who lives at 52 West Market street. Yates explained to the policeman that ho had just discovered Kogers in the honso on Bismark street, where the intruder had no business to be at that time in the morninc. the - doors were locked, and while Yates was trying to enter at the rear of the premises, Kogers slipped out at the front door. Kogers was taken to the police station, and there he said, in his defense, that ho received a note at the hands of a messenger boy, asking that some fish be taken to tho house. He took the fish himself, and was invited into the house. Fearing some scheme, and hearing knocks at the back door, he unlocked the front one and ran away, followed by Mr. Yates. mm v mm mm m m M mm m m THE TEMPERANCE CAUSE. Successful Meeting of tho Central Murphy League at Slaioafc HalL A meeting of tho Central Murphy League was held yesterday afternoon in Masonic Hall. The hall was tolerably well filled, and a great deal of enthusiasm was-manifested by those assembled, the address by the Kev. W. F. Taylor, short, but to the point, containing much good advice and encouragement to abstainers. Dr. W. B. Fletcher also spoke, and drew a comparison between leprosy and drinking that was exceptionally good. Sacred songs were rendered at intervals, and it is evident from the interest exhibited by those in attendance that the series of meetings which will bo held during the forthcoming winter will be successful. A large number of men signed the pledgo at the close of the meeting. Military Park Meeting. Several hundred people attended the temperance meeting conducted by Bails Campbell and Frank Wolfe yesterday afternoon at Military Park." The principal address was delivered by the Rev. Jasper N. Hughes, the Prohibition candidate for Governor at the election last November. Short talks were given by Mrs. L. E. Scott and Kev. E. C. Evans, and Master Leon St. John Allman gave a recitation appropriate to the subject dwelt upon by the speakers. Next Sunday's meeting, at tf:30 p. i.t will be addressed by Kev. II. V. Hunter, of the Seventh Presbyterian Church, and Capt. Eli F. Kitter. Captain Ritter was to hav spoken yesterday, but was prevented from being present by the serious illness of his wife. Amusement Notes. Hettie Bernard Chase, in her musical comedy "The Little Coquette," will begin a week's engagement at the Park Theater this afternoon. As she will have the amusement field all to herself daring the first half of the week she will doubtless do a fine business. Mis Chase has many friends in this city and her new play is said to be the best that she has presented here. It is a light comedy, with many good specialty features, and abounds in popular music. The supporting company includes some well-known and capable people. There will be nothing at the Grand Operahouso this week, but George Ober, a character comedian, who has made quite a reputation, will begin tho regular season at English's on Thursday night. He will appear in "Old Homespun," a story of New England life. The holder of ticket No. 1535 is the winner of the cuse of glass-work ottered by Professor Jukes, at the Eden Musce, on Saturday.

was merely an advertising dodge, and that the trouble in the firm was simply manufactured bv the advertising agents; but the fact tha't Mr. Thatcher haasigned a five vears' contract with Kich & Harris, of Boston, proves conclusively that tho old minstrel firm has been dissolved. Managers Kich & Harris will this year add Mr. Thatcher to their Howard Athenaeum All Star Specialty Company as an extraordinary attraction, and next year will manage the tour of George Thatcher's minstrels, which will be one of the strongest minstrel oiganizations ever placed on the road in this country.
