GBEE1ING TO THE HEW YEAR

Many Whistles, Bells and Fire-Crackers Unite in Making a Xoisy Midnight The Weather Maj Not Be Propitious, hut ToDay Hearts Will Be Glad and Welcome Cordial The Open Houses. A misty, murky and intensely disagreeable night ushered in the new year and dispelled most effectually any passing regrets at the death of 1800. It was generally felt that if the old year had the bad taste to make its exit the occasion of furnishing about the worst sample of weather Indianapolis hxs known for somo time, the quicker it could get out of the way and make room for its successor the better. The snow that helped make Christmas so pleasant and successful has been replaced for New Year's day by the muddiest kind of mud the sort that splashes you from head to foot, and remorselessly plasters itself in the very choicest portions of clothing. The callers to-day will be forcibly reminded of the fact that though favored with a white Christmas, they have to contend with an exceedingly drab New Year's. The miserable weather, however, had no effect upon the noise with which the infant year was ushered into existence. It did not in the least dishearten the bells, the whistles, the horns and the tire-crackers which rang, tooted, blew and blazed away as merrily as if the air was of a crisp, wintry character, instead of an enervating, nondescript sort, which had a tendency to discourage everybody except the most zealous of New Year's celebrants. At midnight the noise began, and for ten minutes the fact that 1S!1 had arrived impressed itself upon a very large proportion of the citizens of Indianapolis. The few who received no official notice of the birth of another year must have been either very deaf or very heavy sleepers. One aggressive whistle, a , cross between bass and baritone, with much range and compass, impressed itself especially upon every one. It was most persistent, and bung on until the last sound that celebrated the coming of the new year had died away. That whistle is a good one to have around about tho 1st of January. The Christ Church chimes played a conspicuous and a very melodious part in ringing the old year out and the new year In, and it was done sweetly and tnnefully. The old, familiar words, ,A happy New Year." were on many lips, and the exchange of greetings was as hearty as in former years. The custom of keeping "open house" will be observed to a general extent in Indianapolis, though the number is small compared to that of eome years ago. Still there is no decrease over that of last year, and the old-time custom, once so popular the country over, may be restored some of these years in all its slory. All three of the - theater will be open afternoon and evening. The Indianapolis Builders' Exchange will entertain its members and friends from 9 a. m. to 4 r. m., at its rooms, No. 21 South Pennsylvania street, and the Patriarchs Militant, I. O, O.

Landlords Begin Another Twelve Month with Satisfaction Over What They Have Done. The fact that ono of the largest hotels in this city, and also in the State, changes hands to-day is suggestive of the increased amount of hotel business done here during the year just closed. Never beforo has the patronage of hostleries been so steady nor the class of guests so good, and the proprietors of the leading houses feel well satisfied with the year's showing and the oatlook for the future. "Some might think," said Mr. Pfingst, of the Grand, to a reporter, last night, "that our business is greatly increased during the year of a presidential campaign, but such is not the case. The past year was far more prosperous than 1SSS, although the number of visitors in the city has not been so great." "How do you account for the falling oft of business in a presidential-campaign year?" be was asked. "People, as a rule, are generally carefnl with their money at such times. Very few people, comparatively, travel then, and when they do and reach one city they are usually anxious to leave as soon as they can. The regular year is the best in the 'hotel business, and there is no better city in the country for it than this." 'The hotel business here it largely transient, is it not!" "Almost exclusively so. The railroads centering here bring thousands of strangers Into the city. There was a time when the Indianapolis hotels had a fair amount of regular custom, that is families and single men who boarded by the year. But during the past year this kind of patronage has fallen off more than ever before. The reason is that all the hotels in the city, or at least the principal ones, have been compelled to increase their rates. Food of every kind is higher than it was a year ago, and to cover the increase we have had to charge extra for boara." "Probably, you will ear, the direot influence of the McKinley bill." "Well, no," said Mr. Plingst.with a smile; "the McKinley bill does not affect potatoes, corn, meat and the other articles of food we put on our tables. Everything is higher, and especially fruits. Had I not contracted last May for my California fruits I would not only have to pay 50 per cent, more for them now, but 1 might not be able to buyany at all. Thepeopleof Indianapolis have not been properly educated in regard to hotel rates, but they are coming to it. For the last six years Indianapolis has had more first-class hotels than were really Necessary, and the result has been that rates were cut for competition. In this way people have secured table-board at a figure much lower than they could get in anv other city of this size in the country." Judge Martmdale. who turns over the management of the Denison to U. W. Shepherd, of New York, to-day, also expressed himself satisfied with the year's business. "It has been a credit to the city," he said to the reporter, "and in every way there is reason to believe that the hotels in Indianapolis are holding their own very well. The year of 1800 has been one of the best 1 ever experienced." Louis Reibold, of the Bates, is also well pleased with tho patronage his house has received, and attributes the success of the local hotels in General to the advantages that Indianapolis derives from her railroads. Labor Notes. The grievance committee of the Central Labor Union will meet to-day to consider the case of four men who were dismissed from the employ of the American Pulley Company, on South Pennsylvania street, for objecting to the employment of an apprentice boy to do a journeyman's work. The Paper-hangers' Union elected oillcers for the new year, last night, as follows: President, James H. Deery; vice-president, Harry Morris; recording secretary, Carey J. Parrish; financial secretary, Lewis A. Barth; treasurer, John A. Deery: conductor, James Daily; warden, French Hockett; trustees, Ldward K. lienning and John Whitoly. The installation will occur at the next meeting, at which time the scale of prices for 1SU1 will be considered and adopted. Hit by a Stray Rullet. Anna Carter, colored, twenty years of age, living at No. 126 West Fearl street, was accidentally shot last evening while standing opposite the Odd-fellows' Temple, on Indiana avenue. She was watching a crowd of New Year's merry-makers, when one of them fired a revolver, the bullet striking the woman in the breast and causing a flesh wound. She wa9 taken to her home in Kregelo's ambulance. Committee of the People's Party. The State central committee of the People's party is to meet here , on the 20th of this mouth to 'select delegates to the Cincinnati conference of the industrial classes, which is to occur on the 23d of next month. A Grocer Assign Kugeno Pasquier, owner of the Courthouse grocery, at No. 154 Fast Washington street, made an assignment yesterday afternoon to Charles J. Many. His asbets and liabilities are small. Cincinnati's Departed Glory. New York World. ' A contemporary describing the new cruiser Cincinnati lays great stress upon the fact that it is backed like a hog, and there is much talk about Cincinnati as the Hog City. Time was when Cincinnati packed a great deal of pork. That was before the war, when it had a trade with the South. Since that time the sceptre has been passed to Chicago. Kansas City is a greater hog-killing center to-day than was Cincinnati in its palmiest and most bristling days. Why. Indianapolis is a greater bog town than is Cincinnati. The fact is, Cincinnati, like the late Ichabod, isa rcminiflcenco of departed glory.

Pleasant Speeches Abunt the City Hospital and Its Successive Superintendents. Last night a very pleasant surprise was given Dr. John Oliver, who had completed four years of service as superintendent of the City Hospital. The staff of that institution met in its parlors at 9 o'clock with the internes and members of the Nurses' Training School, over fifty in number. There a speech of welcome was made by Dr. John Comingor, who gave a brief history of tho hospital since its organization twenty-live years ago to-day. Its first superintendent was Dr. G. V. Woolen, serving four years; then E. Hadley, one; J. Marsee, two; A. W. Davis, who died there the first year of his service; Dr. McDonald, one year; J. Van Vorhis, one; W. H. Davis, two; Dr. W. H. Wishard, seven, and Dr. John Oliver, four years. Dr. Comingor regretted that complete clinical records had not been kept of the medical and surgical work done in the institution, and told the incoming superintendent that his opportunity for improvement lay in thorough clinical records lor the use of medical men and the addition of anew wing for better clinical instruction. Tho little chapel now used for such purpose is crowded twice a week with two hundred students, who pay the city for the privilege of attending the clinics and who need superior advantages of light, and room, and ventilation. "Once a week for a quarterof a century," said the Doctor, "I have come here to my stated duties, and hundreds of times on special call, and my life in Indianapolis is bound ud with this place as with no other. Noblo men have worked hero aud have paved a way Bobbs, Meats. Harvey and others. I have always been kindly received by the successive superintendents, and each has added eome new improvement. Under Dr. Wishard's sterling efforts the old hospital army barracks have - given way to the present stately structure. Dr. Oliver has secured a new quarantine building, a new barn, new walks, and, better than all. a splendid and efficient ambulance service, which has saved many lives." On behalf of the staff and Dr. Oliver's professional friends. Dr. Comingor then presented him with a line diamond of ono

carat weight mounted in a pin. Brief ad dresses were made by Dr. Woolen, his speech being full of touching reminiscence, Dr. W. H. Wishard. Rev. Dr. Cleveland, who has been adopted by the profession of medicine as one of themselves, and by Dr. Brayton, who emphasized tho great benefit to the hospital and profession by the establishment of the Training School for Nurses. Dr. Geo. Edenharter, the new superintendent, made a characteristic speech in which he said he hoped to retain the aid and good wishes of the profession as his predecessors had done. Whatever was accomplished in improving the hospital would be by the aid of the profession of medicine, one of the greatest powers in city life. Refreshments were then served, and an hour passed in story and conversation. The hospital is fuller than ever before, with 110 patients now, there having been 1.257 difierent patients during the year. Many have to sleep in cots. Dr. Edenharter said that in his travels in Eastern hospitals he saw larger institutions, but not one so clean, and healthy, and pure, and cheerful as the Indianapolis City Hospital. A FICTION EXPLODED.

It Is Not True that New Members of Con Cress Are Not Recognized by the Speaker. Washinirton Special la Philadelphia Press. One of the fictions generally believed regarding Congress is the practical impossibility of a new member in either house taking part in debate, because of the refusal of the presiding officer to recoanize any one who has not been a member for more than one term. This may have been the caBe in former times. It is not true of Speaker Reed or Vicepresident Morton. It takes a new member some time to learn the rules and the methods of doing business, and for that reason he is usually modest enough not to take up much time in speaking unless he has something to say of importance. But any member of Congress can secure recognition to make all the speeches be desires. If any important debate is in progress the Speaker, of course, recognizes the leading members, who are usually the older ones. But the new member can get recognition at other times without trouble. Take, for instance, Mr. Cooper, of Indiana, who is serving his first term. He is a young man, eifted chielly with a high opinion of ' his own abilities, and without previous legislative experience of any kind. During the stormy times at the beginning of the present Congress, when the Democrats in the House were engaged in the highly refined and to them congenial task of howling at Speaker Reed and threatening him with personal violence, Mr. Cooper was daily and hourly on hia feet endeavoring to lead men on his side who were in Congress before he was out of his swaddling clothes. If theSpeaker were inclined to refuse recognition to a now member Mr. Cooper would have been certain to have been suppressed, not from resentment, but for other good and sufficient reasons. But Mr. Cooper has repeatedly been recognized, and has occupied a good share of the space iff the Congressional Record. . -'Iceman" Turner, of New York, is another illustration. Gifted with a fog-horn voice, and with the legislative experiences that comes from driving an ice-wagon, he, nevertheless was recognized during the first session thirty-five times for the purpose of debating. A glance at some of .the subjects on which he spoke, taken in consideration with histraining and ability, will show the leniency with which a new member is treated. A few of these subjects w;re: Agricultural colleges, compound lard, alien contract-labor law, election supervisors. Supreme Court, Government Printing Office, pensions, world's fair. United States prisoners, Oklahoma Territory, civil-service reform and the tariff. Henry G. Turner, of Georgia, who is years the senior of "iceman" Turner, and who has been in Congress ten years, and is a man of recognized ability, and a leader on the Democratic side, takes np less space in the index of the Congressional Record than does his New York namesake. And yet the old fiction about new members being unable to secure recognition from the Speaker is again going the rounds of the newspapers. One-half or more of the time the House is in committee of the whole. All the important bills are considered in this way. The Speaker is not at such , times in the chair, but some other member, and it remains for that member to "recoganize" those who take part in the debate. This further illustrates the absurdity of the fiction that the Speaker suppresses the new member. The Jury System. Philadelphia North American. ' The new Minnesota provision for a verdict by ten agreeing jurors is important only as it seems to indicate dissatisfaction with the jury system. It can really make no, difference whether a verdict is rendered by 'ten or twelve jurors. With an unanimous jury justice seems to be satisfied. When eleven obstinate men confront one perfectly fair man in a jury-room the case ends as far as the jury is concerned. Under the Minnesota rule nine obstinate men against three level-headed fellows will amount to the same thing. With ten unreasonable men to two the result will be .what it now is with an unanimous panel.With all of its faults, the jury system will almost certainly be retained as-part of the procedure in courts. The faults of the system pertain rather to the mode of selection than to the underlying principles. The mode of selection is vicious. As good judgment backed by intelligence is demanded on the bench, nothing Jess, in kind, should be tolerated in the jury-box. So long as names are put in the box solely as a political favor, so long will tho jury system give indifferent and bad results. None but intelligent men and men jof , good standing among men should ever be named as eligibles, and any infraction ; pf (the rule ought to be punished. No reputable citizen should be excused from service on any plea not involving health and large pecuniary loss. The better the man .the better the juror for there is no special 'call to jury duty. An honest, intelligent man can weich testimony and judge of facts asuwell as anybody. Results of Free Trade. Toledo Blade. "Now that a renewed effort is making in this conniry to break down the protection ist system which is making us industriously independent of other nations, t is well to take a look at England, and see how the free-trade system is working with her. In an article on Disraeli, by the historian Fronde, just published in England, the British people are reminded that the belief prevailed, when free trade was adopted in that country, that it would become the world's greatest workshop. But that expectation has not been realized, and Mr. Fronde goes on to say: The tide has slackened now; other nations have rejected our example, have nursed their own Industries and supply their own wants. The volume of Enelish trade continues to roll on, but the profits diminish. The crowds who throng our towns refuse to submit to a lowering of wages, and perplex economists; we are thus able to consider with fairness tho objections of a few far-seeing statesmen of forty and fifty years ago.
