Yesterday afternoon, as the rear guard of & personally conducted party of fourteen. a Journal reporter visited the Central Indiana Hospital for the Insa&e. Mr. Alexander Johnson, secretary of the Board of State Charities, headed the excursion and the ladies and gentlemen of his party were members of his class in social science, to whom he proposed to give instruction after the manner of the object lesson. At 2:30 o'clock the storming party entered the steward's omco of the hospital, where that meek official without a struggle handed .over his books and vouchers for inspection. Mr. Johnson having possessed himself of a handful of papers, in an exceedingly fluent manner and in a way quite bewildering to the hospital butcher, the day watchman nn iwnnrinrRR ninnr n .nn npnnm or inn

institution, explained thebusiness methods of the office, expounding the law upon the subject of letting contracts with most amazing eloquence. The next assault was upon tho butcher shop, bnt the butcher, who has been at the hospital for twentytwo years and in all sorts of weather, was cot a bit afraid, though he acknowledged himself surprised. Who is them people with Johnson," he whispered to the reporter. "It s Mr. Johnson's social science class," was the reply. "Which! "Social science class," repeated the reporter, t "An' now they're ringia' in science on us! Weil, what next!'' The ladies gTeatly admired the neatness of the meat-shop and tho line display of hams and breakfast bacon. They next visited the boiler-house, with its twelve immense boilers, with natural gas naming in the furnaces. This was the third step in the object lesson, bat vis unaccompanied by a lecture. Following this, the outer works having surrendered, the party entered the main building of the female hospital by way of the kitcben and tftorageTocms. The social scientists were shown by the attendants that everything was in admirable order, and their housekeeping met with much praise. The baker was not bo lncky. "What kind of yeast do you use!'' inquired one of the ladies. "Compressed yeast," said the baker, politely; "that's what all the bakers use." "Well" said the laey "it won't do at all. Itdoexn't make sweet bread." A few mo-, meat later he secured a piece of bread a day old which she declared to be sour, and ilr. Johnson, with great solemnity, entered the di-covery in a note-book. Tbeinfornation was a!o freely imparted that eighty-fire callons of milk were used in ti;e institution daily and thai none of it T7fsciiimmed.

"To be in a place like this, and have nothing to day after day." remarked one of the ladles, "would drive me insane if I was not sor I wonder that any of the poor creatures ever are cured. I suppose they recover not because of the treatment but in spito of it." It was explained to the lady that great improvements had taken place In the treatment of patients at the hospital; that, under the recent administration of Superintendent W. B. Fletcher all the cruel restraints had been destroyed, and that Superintendent Wright had made some improvements: that reforms eould not be accomplished in a day; but the lady insisted that in an insane hospital in Wisconsin all the inmates were employed at something or other, and all were greatly improved in thus being given something to divert their minds from themselves. Another lady called attention to the fact that the rooms were too warm, the air unwholesome aud the place lacking in ventilation. Nothing could be said against the apartments on the score of cleanliness. Everything ehowed that there had been no lack of soap and water and the wood-work fairly shone. It is to be doubted whether visits of this character are products eof good. Criminals, the insane and unfortnnate should not be intruded upon by sight-seers or philanthropio committees. NO MORE FIGHTS FOR MILLER. Tho Feather-Weight Getting Too Old, He Says, to Do His Part Creditably in the Ring. Tommy Miller, the feather-weight of this city, has announced his withdrawal from the ring. "I shall take part hereafter only in managing lights," he said to a reporter last niKbt," but will never enter the ring again. I am not physically able to keep up my past record, and the results of my recent lights are enough to convince me that it is time for me to quit. I have in my time stood up with somo of the best men in the country and 1 am not wholly disappointed in my record. Bat I am getting too old to light with the vigor 1 once had and I shall withdraw." In 1881 he whipped Jimmy Maloney at San Francisco in ten rounds, and in January, 1SS8, he fought the Spider in Minneapolis, losing in the eighth round. He whipped Morgan in New Orleans last May in twenty-six rounds, and later on. In the same city, whipped Ward in three. At Omaha he whipped Burke, of Cincinnati, in ten rounds, but lost when he fought him here. His last two tights, both of which he lost were with Tommy Warren, the first in New Orleans and the second in this city last Tuesday night. Clerk for Saprem Judges.

What the City Commission era Have to Do On a Petition for Opening a Street The city commissioners are considering a petition for tho opening of Broadway from St Clair street to Massachusetts avenue. There are two hundred property-owners interested in the movement, including residents on Broadway from St. Clair to Eleventh street and if the opening is made the property -holders along the line of that part of the street opened will be assessed. "A great many people are misinformed in regard to the method of opening or extending a street" said Deputy City Clerk Perrott yesterday. "It is not generally known that the city pays nothing for a street or alley opening, but that tho entire expense is borne by the property-owners interested." "And how and by whom is this decidedl" asked the reporter." By the city commissioners, according to the laws of the State. Three petitioners are all that are required to have a street opened, or rather to bring the matter before the commissioners. The members of the board then investigate the matter, and if they see tit to grant the petitions they assess damages against the abutting property. They then make a list of all the property-owners on that street who will, according to their idea, be benefited by the opening and apportion the damages accordingly." The commissioners will decide the Broadway matter on Feb. 17. Knocked Down an Assailant. On New Year's night Rev. F. Weber, of St John's Church, was returning from 8L Vincent's Hospital, where he had held service, and, while walking up Pennsylvania street, near the tracks, was accosted by two young men, who demanded his money, fie expostulated with them, but to no purpose. Finding them persistent, "with a sudden blow, he knocked one ot his assailants down, and turned to face the other, who, seeing what he had to meet, turned and ran. Father Weber did not thrash his prostrate foe. but in the darkness and confusion picked up the wrong hat, and so lost his own. New bed-room 6ets at Wm. L. Elder's. Dunlap Hats At Seaton's Uat Store.
