A DEMOCRATIC WAKE It Will Bo Held To-Day with All Due Solemnity ami Gloom. T. Tasrsrart Will Probably Have to Ofliciate as Cliainnaii of I lift CommitteeA Few Candidates. In marked contrast to the numbers and enthusiasm of the Republican jratherinp her a v eek a?o Is the situation at the Grand Hotel, where the Democratic State Central eoinmitlee will meet to-day for or" ionization. Ther is none of the hu?tle and general j-uestion of singer that ii'ark'd the mcetiner or tl) Hepubliean committee, in fact, the attendance of Democrats is so scanty us to Vive the Impression that the nominations on the Htate ticket will po lggins. It is a difficult matter to rii a candidate out of this snowdrift of apparent despondency. The whole affair has a decidedly funereal appearante and the atmosphere Is heavily laden with defeat. The only thins lively about the gathering of this Democratic "host" is the effort of a delegation of party leaders from Fort Wayne, who are here to take the convention away from Indir.naiolls if josslble. If it was not for the presence of these gentlemen there would have been scarcely any sins of Democracy about the (rand Hotel last night, other than are usu iliy observe I there. This delegation Is made up of Judge C. M. Dawson, of the Superior Court of Allen county, Judge Samuel M. Ifeneh, ex-Representative, City Attorney W. 11. Shambaugh, County Auditor A. 1 Glutting. Postmaster W. W. Roekhill, City Treasurer Charles J. Sosenheinier, l A. Randall, a capitalist and owner of the Randall House, Sheriff Edward F. Clnusmeier and Henry C. Rerghoff. who is the only candidate thus far bold enough to enter the lists for Ftate Treasurer. Judge Allen Zollars, of Fort Wayne, who is a member of the Htate. central committee, Is puliing for that city with a natural amount, of it?or. They all urge Allen county: stanch Democracy as a strong argument why the convention fhould be taken there. It makes no difference, they claim, what the outside world does in the way of turning things upside down, Allen county aocs serenely on with her Democratic majorities and for that reason la entitled to weighty consideration. They will call the committee's attention to the way in which the city took care of the Republican convention two years ago and urye that the Democrats cannot afford to be less generous in the matter of locating the convention this year. ' . ARvnnsville is making1 no effort whatever for the convention, nor is Terre Haute, as has been reported. George W. Fhanklin, of the former place, and who is a member of the State committee from the First district, naid, last night, that they were hardly . prepared in the matter of a hall to look after such a large gathering as a State convention and there was no disposition to ask that it be held there. He favors Fort Wayne. MR. SHANKLjIN'S AFPEARANCK. Mr. Shanklln, tall, broad-shouldered and affable, was the most conspicuous figure alout the hotel last night. Ry hia side even the heavy-weight talent of the Attorneygeneral's oftio?, Messrs. Smith and Dailey, became in a measure diminutive. Mr. Shanklln thought the committee ought to get through its work by 2 o'clock this afternoon at the latest. He brlieved there was no dissenting voice in the choice of Torn Taggart for chairman. It was the committee's idea, so far as he knew, to elect Mr. Tiigpart and fndeavor to make him pee the m-cosidty of his accepting the task imposed, of course, if Mr. Taggart should remain obdurate, which contingency they all hoiol would be avoided, why they would have to cast about for another chairman, but who he might be, neither the Rvansvllle statesman or anyone else on the committee ventured to suggest. Mr. Shanklln remarked hopefully that the candidates .were a little slow developing- because of the general impression that there would be a late convention. He thought there would be plenty of material to choose from when the time arrived for action. Isaac P. Reydeii. of New Albany, Is, like Mr. Shanklin. one of the mor? prominent members of the State committee, and has been suggested by some of the newspapers as a candidate for chairman in the event of Tom Taggart kicking out of the traces. Mr. !"ydeti declares he has no ambition to lead the Democratic cohorts in the coming campaign, and that he is for Taggart first, last and all the time. In fact, there was a general diposdtioii yesterday to force the present chairman to continue his labors in behalf of the party. Of course, the State officers were on hand last night to swell what little showing the Democrats made on the eve of this important committee meeting. Governor Matthews. Green-e Smith and Oscar Henderson were there, apparently enjoying themselves, and free from care and worry. Thy are doubtless glad to be out of the "push' this year. Jaeutenant Governor Mrtimer Nye, of ljaForte, was shaking hands with the faithful, as were W. 11. Kverode. excitv proseemor; Z. H. Houser and I. 11. Mcf'ormlek, of Columbus; S. M. Halston, of Tjebanon. and Auditor Thomas J. Coyle, of Johnson county. THE ONLY CANDIDATES. The only candidates on the ground were Ileniy Rerghoff, of Fort Wayne, who apparently ha ; no opiosition in his ambition for the nomination for Treasurer. He was defeated by Albert Gall in the convention here four jears ago, after a hard fight. Joseph Fanning, the present Deputy State Auditor, who wants to succeed Mr. Henderson, and who is the only candidate thus .far announced from Marion county for a place on the State ticket: Joseph Reilly, secretary of the Democratic State committee, who also wants to be Auditor; John R. Gohin, of Crawfordsville, who is concentrating his efforts on securing this same nomination, and W. H. Glascock, of Green-1-ld. who wishes th succeed his chief. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Vories. Tr.re seems, from the fact that there are actually three candidates for Auditor, to be a boldness and undismayed confidence regarding this nomination that is inexplicable, considering the shyness evinced in respect to the other offices. It is said that A. M. Sweeney, the present Chrk of the Supreme Court, who is from Dubois- county, will he a candidate for re-i-ominatlon. Prcf. K. T. J. Jordan, of Shelby county, at present- naturai-gas superv.'ior. is reported to desire the nomination for State Geologist. P. H. McCo-mick. who !. said to be ;! out to i-ontest RerghofTa claims to the trumtreship nomination, deidea that he has any such ambition. He was a candidate fur years ago. but will not be again, and so assured Rerghoff yesterday. J. C. faughlin. of Columbus, is here, and wants to be sretary of the State committee, but Joe Reilly Is almost certain to be re-elected. It said that the other candidates for Auditor insist upen Rellly's letting go one or the ether either the secretaryship cf the committee or his candidacy for the nomination for Auditor. It is urged that his position on the committee would givn him an undue advantage over the other candidates. The late convention idea Is popular among the committe- members as well as the few candidates who have announced themselves. Th latt r think It less expensive, and that Vuts quite a figure these hard Democratic times. This morning's session of the committee, which begins at 10 o'clock, will ptobably be devoted to a brief exchange of views regarding the situation in their respective districts. Ten of the committeemen were at the Grand last night, th mlsslnj;- members rcir.s John Klntz. of Huntington, and W. 11. Crnra l. of Warraw, who were expected on every train, and Thomas Taggart. of t;i!s city, who was called to Xenla. O., yesterday, by the serious Illness of his father, and who expects to return on the noon tr3ln to-day m tlrr.e to decline the chairmanship. The committee Is as follows: Flirt district. George W. Shanklin. of Rvansville; Second. The mas R. Rtklrk, of Paod; Third. Isaac P. l.ey.len. of New Albany: Fourth. William H. O'Rrlen. of Raw-rriK-evUle-Fifth. W. C. Duncan, cf Columbus; Sixth. John !o;;tz. of Richmond; Seventh. Thomas Taggart. of India n:ipoli.; Riuhth, Thomas .1. Maim. of Sullivan; Ninth. William M. Rlrakstock, of Iifjy. tte; Tenth. M. M, Hathaway, of Vh.u:iu'c; KlevtMith. John A. M. Ktritz. cf Huntington; Twelfth, Allen 'cllars, of Fort Wavne; 1rttAMh. W. H. Connd. f Warsaw." . Captain Myers, of Anderson, wants to socc"d himself as Secretary of Stat, and I. eon Ifaiiey has been mentioned here and there for Attorney-general. It is not known.

I however, that the latter cares to-make the . run In this precocious, very much "oft"

year. Some of the more prominent Democrats think well of Railey for the sacrifice, and he can probably get the nomination if he wants it. 3Inyvool L.tiicoIu Long; tic. The Maywood Lincoln League Club held a rousing meeting last night, J. II. Miller, the precinct committeeman, presiding. Over 1) were In attendance. Speeches on the tarilT and organization were made by Warwick II. Ripley and 'Lee Rothschild. The Leaugne will meet again in two weeks. Another Cnntlltlnte for Clerk. The Michigan City News of yesterday announced the candidacy of Harry R. Tuthill, of Michigan City, for the office of Clerk of the Supreme Court. Mr. Tuthill is one of the eoiid men of LaPorte county, i. lawyer by profession,, and for years has been a wheelhorse in the cause of Republicanism In the northwestern part of the State. He' comes from a city that has never been recognized by the tate convention, and hopes to secure the prize, but he declares that if he is not nominated he will still demand the right to' take off his coat and hustle for the defeat of Democracy and the success of all that Republicans hold near and dear. THE MIDWAY REPRODUCED. A Unique Entertainment Given by Plymonth Church Ladies. There was a great entertainment at Plymouth Church last evening, and many people were present to enjoy the festivities. A portion of the Midway Plalsance was represented. No admission, fee was charged, and the people wandered about the building much ah they did at the fair. The reading room was the resort of the Esquimaux. Ices were served. The room was canopied with white, and hanging from the top were snowflakes of wool. In the center of the room was a table with a huge cake of ice, all the ladies in the room were dressed in wliite and many had Icy effects In their costumes. Mrs. W. H. Dye was at the head of the Esquimaux, and she was assisted. by Misses Florence and May Allerdlce, May Van Wie, Miss Allen. Mrs. M. Albrecht, Miss Mary Aldrich, Miss Mary Van Deinse and Miss Scudder. The office was transformed and taken possession of by the Japanese, who served tea. The young ladles, wore Japanese garments, and had their coiffures adorned with fans and other articles. These ladles were Miss Stella lzor. Misses Susan Chipman, Elvin Stratford, Scott. Warburton, Zimmerman, Dithmer and Mrs. Henry Fay. Across the hall were the Kgyptiars, and their room wa3 decorated with Eastern products. Fortunes were told by Miss Florence Simmons, Miss Ruby Smith and Miss Mary Moore. Miss Daisy Steele served lemonade and Miss Dithmer assisted In various ways. Upstairs, in the hall, the Plymouth Orchestra gave a programme of choice selections all the evening. At the right of the door was a topsy-turvy concert. Several little maids sang a queer song, and suddenly they disappeared, and lo, feet were where the faces were a moment before. The suddenness of It kept a large audience Intensely amused. The congress of beauties was considered one of the funniest features of the show. Some of the young men were dressed up, and they posed as the beauties. Lemonade was served in the Turkish booth, where Mrs. J. G. Thurtle, Mlsses Nellie Blitz, Bessie Chipman, Mabel Hood, Myra Daggett, Ella Emerson, Carrie Townsend, Kittie and Nellie MacConney. in Turkish dress, had charge. The "Kgyptlan Theater Is Closed" was the sign displayed on one wall. Every one had a good time; and the Plalsance was as fine an attraction as the members of the church have given for a long time. FOR A FALL FESTIVAL. Meeting of Business Men Called to Consider Flans. There will bo a meeting of business men at the agricultural room in the Statehouse to-morrow afternoon, at 4 o'clock, the purpose being to take steps to make State fair week throusout one that will be attractive to visitors from all parts of the State and profitable to the city. The State Hoard of Agriculture will guarantee to increase the attractiveness of the exhibition at the grounds, but wants the citizens to provide evening entertainment. Two hundred letters were sent out yesterday to business men and others. They were signed by Governor Matthews, Mayor Denny, President Wildman. of the Board of Trade, President Lilly, of the Commercial Club, and President Sankey. of the State Roanl of Agriculture. Mention was made several days ago in these columns of this proposed meeting. The Governor thinks that elaborate processions of illuminated floats, etc., after the order of the Vailed Prophet and Mardi Gras features at St. Rouls and New Orleans would l3 about the most taking shows to offer the people, at night during fair week. No doubt there will be many interesting suggestions made at to-morrow's meeting, and there should be a large attendance of the business men notified, for it is a matter in which they are most interested. DANGER IN' THE MILK. Three Children of 3iacy Slalott Have a Narrow Escape from Death. Three children of Macy Malott, a son of Volney T. Malott, and president of the McCune-Malott Company, were made dangerously sick by milk last Sunday night, but all of them are now considered out of danger. The family live at 831 North Pennsylvania street. When the first symptoms of illness became apparent, after the evening meal Sunday nisht, a physician was immediately called, and two other physlclana were afterward brought into consultation. The symptoms, perhaps, were those of toxic poison. As all the members of the family who partook of the milk suffered more or less from nausea. It was presumed that It came from that. The children were yet ill last night, but the crisis had been pased and they were well on the way to recovery. A reporter called at the residence last night to ascertain the present condition of the children, but Mr. Malott declined to talk of the matter. Dr. Hodges was called up by telephone and asked if the symptoms were, in his judgment, those of toxin poisoning. The only reply was a very sharp "I uo not intend to talk of that case at all." With that he rang the telephone bell sharply. There was not enough of the milk remaining to permit of an analysis. Hounded 1 1 the Hobos.' Word was received at the police station at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon that eight 4 hobos" of the worst type had taken possession of a room in the rear of a saloon under th? viaduct. The owner had ordered them from the premises many times, but they moved not. The presence of patrolmen was lacking, and Superintendent Powell, aided by his secretary, Jean Harris, turnkey Long and Henry Slate, hurrlel to the scene of trouble and captured the invaders. Some resistance was offered, but the four men finally landed their prisoners safely behind the bars. Com! ii w f ntionnl FlorliitN. E. G. Hill, of Richmond, Fred Dorner, of Iafayette, W. W. Coles, 6f Kokomo, and Wm. G. Rertermann, of this city, constitute a committee of the National Association of Florists, and they met here yesterday to arrange for the annual meeting of that organization Feb. 3). 21 and 12. Mr. Rertermann is president of the association, which numbers several hundred menders. A banquet will be given at the Denison for the members during their session here, .-it which covers will be laid for 150, that many having signiiied their Intention to be present. Alabama-Street Property Ontiers. A meeting of twenty-two property owners along North Alabama street was held last night at Dr. ling's office, at Alabama and Washington streets, to remonstrate against Improving the street with asphalt. A resolution was pa?sed declaring against asphalt, but favoring cedar blocks placed on six o; eis,ht inches of sand, with a gravel foundation. A remonstrance against asphalt is to be drawn up. Arise from I lie Rank Full tires. Attorney John W. Kern yesterday took the deposltons of Receiver Hawkins and !'. li. Rexford In the suit of the First National Rank of Frankfort against the Rank of the Republic of Chicago. Nearly S15.00O Is Involved in the suit, which grew out of the failure of the Jndiauapoit National. Roth banks were correspondents of the IndianaiNdis institution. Other depositions were taken.

OPPOSING THE PtULES

Large Committee of South-Siders Lay a Protest Before the JIayor. They Relieve Civil Service Is Largely a Theory Improvements Ordered by Jioaril of Works. A committee of one hundred citizens of the South Side called on Mayor Dennj- at his ofPce last night to enter their protest against the adoption of the proposed civilservice rules to govern appointments in the city's service. The committee was the one selected by the mass meeting held at Staley's drug store on Monday night, and Joseph B. Cameron acted as spokesman in introducing the subject to the Mayor. He read the following communication from the committee: "We heartily believe in and fully Indorse a business administration and good government. We believe this can be better accomplished within the party, and should be, so far as the law permits. We believe that it is as honorable for a man to try to become a lireman or a joliceman as to try to be a United States Senator, and we believe he should be appointed if the majority wants him to be. We do not bcllcye that any party btllevcs in civil service, a3 it Is, unless the other party is in power. We do not believe that a man running a large business would employ men to help him in running his business if their sympathy and interest was in another concern in the same kind of business on the opposite side of the street We do not believe that any man, a candidate for any oflice before any convention of any party, could be nominated if he declared himself in favor of civil service. We feel it our duty to express our views, and trust your Honor and your associates will give them due consideration." When Mr. Cameron concluded he introduced Mr. A. M. Glossbrenner, who read the resolutions adopted nt. the meeting, and which were ptiblished the next morning. There were also resolutions calling for some radical changes hi the personnel of the fire force and jolice force. It . was cited that at one engine house,- Company No. 11, there were eight men, all Democrats, and the resolutions called for a change. When the resolutions were read Mayor Denny spoke? to the committee and told the members he was glad to receive them and listen to their resolutions, but felt that It was not the time and place to enter into a discussion of the rules proposed to bo adopted. He wild that in Its platform the Republican party had declared strongly that If its ticket was ejected it would comply with the provisions of the city charter, which was to the city what the Constitution was to the State or Nation. He said the requirement of the city charter that some sort of civil service rules be adopted was mandator", and to redeem its pledges the party would be compelled to adopt some kind of rules. A number of questions were asked by members of the committee and answered by the Mayor. Frank. Hay, who had been trying for s&rne time to get the attention of the Mayor, finally succeeded, and asked all those present who were delegates -to the last city convention to hold up their hands. A number of them raised their hands. "liower them now," said Mr. Hay, and the hands were lowered. "Now I want to ask all who were delegates to that convention who would have voted for Caleb S. Denny for Mayor if he had announced In the convention that lie would insist upon icivil-service rules If eU-cted to raise their hands." Mr. Denny suggested that Mr. Hay was placing his (Hay's; friends in a rather delicate position by asking them to do this, so no one raised their hands. Some severe criticisms were indulged in and( pointed question? asked. Mayor Denny explained to the committee that the Department of Safety was not and could , pot. come under the proposed rules, and read to them the section of the charter which provides for their adoption. The most of them appeared to be satisfied with his explanations, but there were some that were still of the opinion that the city government was, not compelled to adopt the rules. Refore the commute. withdrew a vote of thanks was extended the Mayor for the kind manner in which he received the delegation and the frankness with which he discussed the question with them. SEWEIl AM) STIIEKT ltKSOI.LTlOXS. Slattern Ilcfore the Ronnl of "Works Several HemonittrnnceN.

Webber, treasurer and deputy treasurer of Fort Wayne, were in the city yesterday and called upon Mayor Penny. They were by him introduced to the heads of the departments. The city of Fort Wayne is operating undrr a charter similar to that of 'this city, and the officials were seeking Information as to the manner of conducting alTairs here.

Patrolman Knauss said that he had h?ard tht the two had been seen together in a wine room on Alabama street. This was denied by Thatcher. He said .that the girl had long been talkintr of leaving Iluele's home, as she claimed that she was being treated very inhumanely. For the la.st three years, she had, so she claimed, been made to wear cast-off garments. The police have not learned if the girl is at her uncle's home. TIIE KINDERGARTEN GRADUATES. Reception to the Outgoing: CIa9S of the Training" School. The executive board of the Free Kindergarten gae a reception yesterday afternoon at the residence of the president, Mrs. J. H. Raid win, to the graduates and members ojf the training school and primary department. Each member of the board and each member of the school invited three guests for the reception, so that the parlors were filled with friends. After all had assembled. Rev. N. A. Hyde, one of the members of the advisory ooaid, offered the; invocation. Mrs. Baldwin made an address and presented the diiKunas and certificates. Among other things that Mrs. Raid win said was, that there were many lersons past middle life who would be glad to go back and live the life over again If they could have the advantage of the kindergarten. A. belief was expressed that Frederick Frocbel, out of the rast, had forged the key to liberate the human race. Froebel's philosophy of child nature is capable of infinite variety, and is not limited to Infancy or childhood, because it is based on mother love and the home, which is the foundation of the state and Nation. v The work for women was not found in the distant fields, but was close at hand. In regard to woman's sphere, which has been so much talked about, Mrs. Baldwin said that woman's sphere was all right, but the fault has been in the incapacity of woman. They have the power to erect a superstructure grand in projtortions and resplendent with truth and righteousness. The graduates to receive diplomas were Miss Mary ratterfon, Miss Mav Rosenberg, of this city: Miss AVinona Harris, of Jiwrenceburg; Miss Anna M. Nye, of Richmond, who has also graduated from the kindergarten college at Chicago, and Miss Fannie Tichener, of 1 'Van kiln. Those who received certlfiates were Miss Emma Holland, Miss Alice Goodwin. Miss Cella .Moran, Miss Katherine O'Neill, Miss Gertrude Miner, Miss Harris, of Lawrenceburg, and Miss Tichener, of Franklin. After the exercises refreshments were served, a number of the boys from the Margaret-street school acting as waiters. Miss Rclle Raldwin presided at the tea table. The training school !s now the largest ever had in this city, there being nearly fifty in the class. Of those who graduated yesterday all but live will return for the post-graduate course. Twelve new students will be admitted to the school Monday, when the new term begins. The souvenir spoon will be ready in about eisrht weeks. The superintendent, Mrs. Kliza Rlaker, has had many inquiries from all parts of the United States for the spoon. When itis finished, some novel entertainment will be given to Introduce it to the public. FOOD EXHIBIT CLOSES. Almost Everything in Siht Was Sold Early. There was so much of the display at the food exhibit disposed of the first day and yesterday morning that there was but little left yesterday afternoon, and the exhibit closed before evening. It has been a great success in every particular. The apron and chocolate booths were emptied by 4 o'clock Tuesday, and the candy booth was sold out completely. All the flowers went early, and by 3 o'clock yesterday there was a general clearing out of a majority of the articles. The place was a lxxm for tho women who hungered after bargains. Women went around with coupons in their hands, determined to spend every cent In the collection of foods, and every woman who left the hall was laden with all sorts and shapes of packages, while men who came from there had every iocket crammed and toth hands full. All the foods left will be given to the pupils of the Industrial School Saturday, and the few articles that cannot be used In their families will be divided among the teachers. Among the articles donated was one thousand pounrls of cerealine from one firm. What is left of this will go to the children. No firm gave less than ten dollars' worth, and many gave from forty to fifty dollars' worth. The records of the school show that 1.9S0 yards of cotton flannel, outing llannel, calico and muslin have been made up by the children since the year began, in October. J01IX C. WRIGHT'S CLAIMS Has a Talk with Controller Eckels Chas. W. Smith in Washington.

A special from the Journal's Washington conesiondent says that John C. Wright, of Indianapolis, called upon Controller of Currency lvckel yesterday for the purpose of presenting some personal questions relating to the affairs of the Indianapolis National Rank. Mr. Wright has a number of claims aglnst that Institution which he desires accepted as set-offs for indebtedness. The Controller has not definitely passed upon the proposition, but he does not believe in admitting counter claims or setoffs under such conditions as surround the affairs of the IndianapolU National, as it' will be unable to pay. the creditors in full. Charles W. Smith, a well-known Indianapolis lawyer, also saw Controller Rcke's yesterday at Washington and subsequently had a conference with Attorney-general Olney. Mr. Smith went to .Washington for the purpose of bringing about the dismissal of Indictments pending against Cashier Rexford. of the Indianapolis National. While the officials at Washington do not believe that Cashier Rexford. for his own behalf, committed any wrong in connection with the accounts of the bank, they are slow to grant the request of Mr. Smith, and until there is proof positive that Rexford was wholly Innocent of any studied or Intentioral wrong doing, they will probably decline to intercede in his behalf. WHITESELL LOSES HIS CASES. Decision in Superintendent Powell's Favor on a New Point in Law. The suit of Constable Whitesell against Superintendent Powell, yCaptaln Campbell and patrolman Tieben for alleged damages to the amount of $10' was heard In Justic3 of the Teace Allen's court, of West"lndianapolis, yes tenia j- morning on a change of venue from Justice Johnston's court, and was dismissed. The grounds of dismissal were laid on a new point of law. Heretofore In such suit it has been customary not to place under bond the defendants. City Attorney Scott, on investigating, found that the law required such defendants to bs placed under bonds. This had not been done in the case of Superintendent Pcwell and his men. and for this reason Justice Allen held that thers were no charges against the defendants. l'on toff ice Receipt for January. The receipts of the postofllce for January were, in round numbers, $31,500, or nearly $2,0"') more than those of the same month a year ago, which were $3,041.41. This Is a very satisfactory showing, considering the buslmss depression. The postottiee people have been endeavoring to get tl receipts over the $30.UO! mark, and are well pleased with the result. The sal-s of stamps were largely augmented by the catalogue business, one firm aloiu? spending $S.0o this last month for stamps for sending Its annual catalogue out to the trade. This sort of purchases, it can readily be seen, sweil the sales at a rapid rate, though the JV-M) purchase is an exceptional on. no other customer coming anywhere ::ear that figure.

Mr. Woosman, of Chicago, congratulated the association uion the interest shown in its proceedings and the large attendance at the meeting. T. p. Eagan, of Indianapolis, talked to the members on trousers cutting, his remarks proving' among the most interesting and instructive of the session. W. H. Mansfield, of this city, also spoke on that subject. Further talks were given by George Laudgraf, of Indianapolis and James Phillips, of Chicago. The latter discussed the financial part of the business, the abilities and opportunities of the tailors and how to apply them.

Major Carter, of the United States secret service, laughs at the story published yesterday morning: of the workings of a gang of counterfeiters in this city. "I see that exact descriptions,' so claimed, are given of members of this gang. Well, there may be persons that are dressed as described in the article, and they may have thought of trying to cheat Uncle Sam, but I will guarantee that they are not carrj ing out any such plan. It has been three weeks since any report has been given to the secret servicer of the passing of spurious coin. The counterfeits' were mostly of the half-dollar nd I the quarter, and! were very bad imitations, so much so that in passing them very rapid actions and great nerve were needed to be successful. -The small restaurants and coffee hcjises were the victims, and not the saloons, as is usually the case. The victimized places were scattered over the city, aial the extent of the issing of the coin was not very great. A peculiar thing about this matter is that the reports ceased Suddenly, and since that time there has not been a single ca? reported to us. The only person who is now held for the passing of spurious money is Kate Rums, who is awaiting trial in the county jail, ilcr offense was committed three weeks ago, at about the time which I have mentioned." It was also stated in this article that the Iatrolmen whose districts wertf In the vl: cinlty of the Fusiected houses have been keeping a strict watch for some definite clew that will lead to a direct Identity of the counterfeiters. The police have been questioned, and expressed themselves as surprised, and said that this was news to them. Tnbernncle Clitircli Entertainment. A programme of music and illustrate-i pictures was given at the Tabernacle Church last evening by the young ladies who are members of the King'.' Daughters Society, of which Mr. J. E. Gilbert ff the head. A curtain was arranged and lights were thrown so as to give the best effect.
