Foster, proprietor of the restaurant at No. 91 East Washington street, 13 out about $140. Last September a colored man, giving the name of James Smith, ap.peared at the restaurant and asked for a situation. Odd jobs were given him, for which he was allowed to eat at the restaurant. Three weeks ago he was made porter and as he appeared very neat and honest confidence waj reposed In him. In the large desk in the front of the restaurant is generally kept a large sum of money. This desk is not always locked. Yesterday Mr. Foster went to the basement of the restaurant, leaving the desk unlocked and no one In the room but Smith. On his return he found Smith mis'sinj? and also the money "in the desk, amounting to about $140. The police are working on the case. A "Wnll from Foreigners. The business portion of the city has been thoroughly canvassed within the last few days by B3veral women who claim to be Turks. Two of the women carried babie3 ,on their backs. The entire pitrty was suggestive of dirt and uncleanliness.- YesU-r-,day the women made themselves so obnoxious to the pvneml public that patrolmen Corrigan and Mathey arrested them. At the police station the women gave their nationality as Austrian and th?lr names as Kolo llellg, Dora and Cora Ileletl. The three5 women, with two children, were put in one of the womn'a cells and confined there for several hours, during which time 'they nearly drove every one about the police station to detraction by their wailing of despair.

3Ir. Mason's Side of the Street liailroad Sale Commission. How 3Ir. Ucvcridsre Served Notice on Mr. McKee Through a Transom at a Hotel. In the Shaffer-Mason case before Judge Itaker. In the federal court, the greater part of yesterday was consumed in the reading of depositions. Mr. Mason's deposition In rebuttal detailed the facts as he understood them with relation to the verbal agreement or understanding he had with Mr. Shaffer concerning a division of the commission. He said that the latter gentleman must certainly have understood that he 'expected to share equally In the compensation for negotiating the purchase; that he had a conversation with him on the morning they arrived in Chicago with Mr. Verner to make the deal, and upon pressing Mr. Shaffer for an expression as to his idea of the size of the commission, and as to what Mr. Verner had sail regarding it. Mr. Shaffer replied: "Well, it Is too soon for me to talk about that, for, you see, we can't tell how the deal la going to turn out." Mr. Mason said he had never acted as attorney for Messrs. McKee and Verner In the matter of negotiating the purchase, or in other matters, and that his, compensation for what aid he contriburf-d toward making the deal must necessarily come from the brokerage commission. lie had received the impre'wion from something Messrs. McKee and Verner d said, as well as from Mr. Shaffer's manner during a subsequent conversation .at the Denlxn Hotel in this city, that the latter was forced to divide the JlOO.Ooo commission with Mr. Mitchell, the attorney for the Chicago owners of the line, and therefore he claimed J2",0Qn half of the balance. He afterwards learned, however, that Mr. Mitchell received none of the money. Mr. Shaffer had leen looking unsuccessfully for two years for a purchaser for the road, and Mr. Mason thought that when he brought him a man who was ready to buy the property at the figure asked by the owners, and had the money to make the purchase, that he was fairly entitled to half of the commission. The finding of such a purchaser was certainly half 01 tha deal, he claimed, and Mr Shaffer under stood that he expected to. share in the commission. In reference to the telegram sent May 13 last to Mr. McKee at Pittsburg, concerning the Falrvlew Park leases and some old stock, which Mr. Shaffer had not ben able to find, Mr. Mason said he sent it at Mr. Shaffer's request. Mr. It. li. F. Peine telephoned him that day, asking as a personal favor, that he telegraph Mr. McKee to pay Mr. Shaffer his commission. He compiled with the request in a telegram which he regarded as not making the slightest concession In his claim or receding In any way from his posltljn. Mr. Shaffer was in Pittsburg at the time, and had telegraphed Mr. Pelrce to request him to wlr3 Mr. McKee to pay the commission. Subsequently, in conversation with Mr. Pelrce, that gentleman told him he should have had Mr. Shaffer sign an agreement to pay him half the commission, and there wouldn't have been the slightest trouble about it, as Mr. Shaffer would then have paid it at once. THE ARGUMENT BEGINS. Soon after 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon Ferd Winter, one of Mr. Mason's attorneys, opened the aj-gument. He spoke for over two hours, and had not concluded when court adjourned. Mr. Winter said among other things that it was ridiculous to claim, as Mr. Shaffer did In his deposition, that a man of Mr. Mason's Intelligence would say to Mr. Shaffer that he trusted to that gentleman's liberality in the matter of compensation; in other word3, would ask a donation from Mr. Shaffer. The latter had asserted that in their conversation at Chicago relative to th? commission he had suggested to Mr. Mason that he (Mason) would probably receive his compensation as an nttorne', whereat Mr. Mason had replied that such compansation would necessarily be merely nominal, and not to be compared to the brokerage remuneration. .Mr. Shaffer had further claimed, Mr. Mason said, that he (Shaffer) had always treated him luiriy and liberally and he would trust to his liberality in the matter of his share cf the commission. Mr. Winter ridiculed the Idea that Mr. Mason employed any such language, and said that one instance alone reflected seriously upon Mr. Shaffer's credibility as a witness. This Instance was the result of a cross-examination as to what Mr. Mason meant by his liberality toward him (llaajn). Mr. Shaffer said In that cross-examination that he supposed Mr. Mason's reference to be llterul treatment on some former occasion uas In relation to the fee of $1,2) he (Mason) had received. In the Goid-Iielknap negotiations. Mr. Winter made the point that the fee In question had been paid to Mr. Mason by Mr. Gold; that Mr. Shaffer had nothing whatever to do with it, and at tho tlmo of the conversation with Mr. Mason in which Mr. Shaffer claims the "liberal-treatment" expression was used the latter gentleman had not the slightest idea of having to pay any part of this Oold-Helknap expense; that he had, in fact, refused to pay it. Mr. Winter contended very earnestly that Mr. Shaffer was not a reliable witness. Another suggestion scouted by Mr. Mason's lawyer was that there was the slightest collusion between Messrs. McKeo and Verner and Mr. Mason in this twnty-five-thoiisand-dollar matter. Mr. McKee had expressed himself as being In such a position that he was likely to be sued bv loth claimants for the money, and to avoid such litigation and anv further annoyance he had paid the money into the court to av.ait the result of a suit In equity which should finally determine the ownership of the money. This action, the attorney asserted, was only taken after Mr. McKee had been served with a notice from Mr. I?everidre, which was thrown over the transom of his room at the hotel, that Mr. Shaffer was about to sue him for the balance of the commission. Mr. Winter will conclude his argument this mornin?. and will be followed by Al!?rt J. Beverilge. who will present Mr. Shaffer's side of the case to the court. W. It. H. Miller will folio x rrlefly for Mr. Mason, and the case will then go to Judge Baker for disposition. PERSONAL AND SOCIETY. Mrs. H. M. Lash left Wednesday for Florida to spend a few weeks. Mrs. II. E.

JUST BOUGHT TEE LOT

School Board Invests in Realty Although Not Ready to Build. Frenzel Thought tho Purchase of Ground a Sufficient Evidence of Good Faith to the South Side. After a long and unsuccessful effort to agrea upon the purchase of a piece of property for a new school building In the southeastern part of th? city, the School Board last evening decided to buy the Eberhart property, at the corner of Lexington and State avenues, for $7,750. The property is 159 by 272 feet, and is said to be the most desirable of all the pieces offered the board. It has been referred to numer ous times In the Journal In connection with the contemplated purchase by the board. The action was practically unanimous, there beln only one vote against the pur chase. The commissioners were all present last evening but Mr. Vonnegut and Mr. Galvin. The treasurer's report showed a balance In the treasury, March 1, of $35,216.73. The warrants drawn during February were: Special fund, $3,513.42; library building fund, I5.5S0.20; library fund, $34SG.C4; tuition fund, $023.33; Manual Training School fund, $183.05; total, ?1D,303.G4. Payments of warrants aggregating $1,643.43 were ordered. A communication from Superintendent Jones was read, recommending the adoption of the following resolution: "Resolved, That in the judgment of this board it would be wise and appropriate for the Board of School Commissioners to encourage th3 higher professional culture pi the teachers under Its care by providing from time to time courses of lectures from the ablest educators of this and other countries, to the end that the schools in which these teachers teach should have the advantage of the most advanced educational thought and practice of the times." Mr. Jones said in his communication that ho was heartily hi favor of this action, and recommended that $100 be appropriated for the expenses of the course for the current year. Ho also recommended that besides the Instruction already given by the superintendent and his assistants there be a course of lectures by eminent educators arranged, and that a committee consisting of the president of the board, superintendent of schools, superintendent of primary instruction, principal of tho normal school and principals of the two hhrh schools be appointed to formulate a course of lectures, secure appropriate lecturers, etc. The resolution was adopted, and an appropriation of $100 made in accordance with the recommendation of Mr. Jones. In this connection it may be stated that the first lecture in line with the action of the board will be delivered at Plymouth Church next Monday evening by Dr. Rice, whose educational articles In the Forum have attracted much attention. Dr. Rice's subject will be "Sclentlflc Education." The committee on heating, hygiene and Janitors recommended the transfer of August Helsenberg from No. 2 to 2o. 3, and James Sharp from No. 3 to No. 2, and the appointment of J. C. Brown as Janitor at No. 25, vice Alolz Merz, deceased. The recommendation was adopted. The linance and auditing committee, to whom was referred the, report of the committee on building and grounds concerning the claim of C. N. Williams as architect of the library building, recommended that the report be referred to a special committee, consisting of the chairman of the buildings und grounds committee, the chairman of the finance and .auditing committee, and the secretary' of the board, who shall confer with the board's attorney and report at the next meeting. The recommendation waa adopted. The committee asked for further time to consider the bill of Vonnegut St Pchn for work on the new library building, and the request was granted. A communication was received from Mrs. Katherine H. Day, president of the sanitary society, asking that the janitor of the library building be invested , with police lowers In order to prevent persons from violating order and cleanliness about the building by spitting on the lloors and steps. The communication w:s referred to the liliarj committee. The committee on buildings and grounds reiorted at some length tliat it had found there was no sufficient ground for a number of mirror complaints preferred by Commissioner Vonnegut regarding some alleged necessary repairs at Various buildings. The feature of the session was the purchase of the Eberhart property above referred to for a new school building on the South Side. This has betm. Known as the Cruse property, as Mr. Cruse it the agent for It The action of the board in deciding to make this purchase was preceded by quite a long discussion upon the advisability of at once building a schoolhouse in the southeastern part of the city to relieve the crowded condition of Nos. 20, 19 ami 28. Mr. Frenzel. Mr. Martlndale and Mr. Conner opposed such action, all favoring the Immediate purchase of a site, but urging that the building should not yet be erected. The Manual Training School would, they said, partially relieve the pressure. Messrs. Adam, Roth and Russe favored immediate work upon the building, and! said that it seemed easy for other parts of the city to secure echoolhouses, but difficult for the South Side. They claimed the capacity of all the buildings was far more than exhausted. aJid advocated their causa so earnestly that President Frenzel. calling Mr. Martlndale to the chair, took the floor and told the commissioners plainly that the board did not have the-money to build a new schoolhouse, and that it was only by careful financiering that they had managed to pull through the past year. Notwithstanding the increase in the tax the expenditure of ?T)0.0i0 cr JGO.cea for the Manual T'-T'-'n" s'toI was all the b'xird could stand. He thought the board wasi doing as muni for the South Side as for any othr portion of the city, and as much as the people mul l reasonably expect under the circumstances. It was folby, he urged, to put up a four-room building, as had been suggested as an expedient, when a year later it will be necessary to have an eightroom house. He believed that by purchasing the site they would show their good faith toward the South Side, but that they wero absolutely not In financial condition to build another schoolhouse, whether of four or eight rooms. This apparently had the desired effect, for on motion of Mr Conner the llrst paragraph of the building committee's report, which recommended the erection of an eight-room building, was stricken out. On motion of Mr. Martlndale the board decided to negotiate with Adolph Sche-rrer to act as architect for all new buildings and improvements contemplated. Mr. Scott believed in getting out of the rut and trying other architects, 'petting up competitive plans, etc.. but his idea met with no favor. . The discussion upon the purchase of a Flte for the proposed new SuTJth Side building was precipitated by Mr. Roth's motion that the building committee's report relative thereto le adopted. Mr. Coffin thought the board ought to save $3,0X) by purchasing the property next to the Eberhart corner, lie didn't think a corner lot was that much more desirable. Mr. Scott favored the purchase of the Rockwood property, which could be bought for fci.uoii and was on Eexington avenue two blocks from the Eberhart property. The chief objection to this seemed to be Its proximity to the railroad tracks. Mr. Conner wanted the board to buy the Metzger property, two hundred feet square. and after numerous attempts to lay on the table, adjourn, refer the whole matter back to the committee, etc.. Mr. Roth's motion to adopt the report, which provided for the purchase of the Eberhart property for $7. 7."0. prevailed. Mr. Eberhart, who was pres ent. having meanwhile agreed to charge only 4 per cent, interest on tne dererrHi payments. This concession was embodied In an amendment aRd the terms of the pur chase are one-third cash, one-third in one year and the balance in two years. AMUSEMENTS. That genius of comediennes. Vernona Jarbeau, who never falls to bring something new to the front each season, be the tlme3 hard or flush, opened at English's last night with a galaxy of comic songs that bubbled over with musical gurgbs from her rich contralto voice. Jarbeau's throat is os melodious as a Carolina mocking bird, while hr vivacious coquetry i3 still as orig inal and fresh as It was nearly eight years ago, when she started out on h:r success ful campaign with the magical "Starlight." The bewitching star positively declare?, with a tragic gesture of her shapely arms. that she will never appear in farce-comod after this season. "I am nauseated with farce," she says, but the maligned "Star light" has made her a fortune, and she might retlr and subsist the rest of her life on the Interest of her wealth, were It not that she retains her youth with

such enviable perfection. Her face has a new expression every moment. While her pouting lips are tempting as a cup of nectar. Her plan for next season is to return to comic opera, a fact that her multitude of admirers will hall with delight. Jarbeau is provided with a repertoire of costly crstumes, each one of which is selected with the unmasked Intention to show off her dazzling beauty In some new light. She sings no two of her songs In the ame dress. Out of nearly a dozen selections, invariably with triple encores, the favorites are her imitation of Mme. Theo in "Where Are You Going, My Pretty Maid?" and "Tha Story of a Kiss." one of Albert Chevalier's costermonger songs, the sole American rights of which are in Miss Jarbeau's keeping. Jarbeau Is supported by a company every one of which Is a star in his own particular line. When all are heard together they are as strong as a whole operatic chorus.

He was encored three times. but Jarbeau declares that he has had as high as twelve recalls with "Johnny I)ugan," Pixley and the entire company going through the last verse repeatedly without speaking a word, producing the killing effect with pantomime.

BOYS OF OLD WABASH They Banquet with President Burroughs as Their Special Guest. Response of the President to a Toast A Flow of Hnraor and Good Fellowship. The annual dinner of the "Old Wabash Boys" was given last night in the dining hall of the Commercial Club. The society of "Old Wabash Boys" comprises the Indianapolis portion of the alumni of Wabash College. About the tables last night sat men of refinement and education, men grown gray with profess?onal and business cares, but who are not yet too old to mingle about the banquet board and toss oft a lively toast In memory of the days at old Wabash. There were many of the younger graduates of Wabash present, but young and old met in a welcome reunion to grow reminiscent over the past and to dwell upon the pranks and capers of the modern graduate. There was a choice menu faultlessly served to fifty guests. The single band of red ribbon that inlaid the entire length of the snowy tables proclaimed the occasion strictly a Wabash night. Dinner began at 6 and concluded at 8 o'clock. Then over their cigars and coffee the Wahash boys listened to toasts and song until nearly midnight. Dr. George S. Burroughs, pres ident of Wabash College, was the guest of the evening. Governor Matthews, Harvey D. Voorhees, George W. Hufford, Rev. N. A. Hyde. Charles It. Williams. Judge J. II. Baker and others were guests of honor. John A. Finch olllciated as toastmaster, and in his bright and sparkling vein of hu mor announced a list of the brightest of the Wabash alumni who were on the pro gramme ror toast responses. "Old Hundred Wabash Chapel" was the first toast of the evening, and it was accorded D. R. McGregor to tell of the daj's when the old bell was wont to call the boys to chapel each Sabbath afternoon. He was glad to know that there had been some changes in this time-honored custom, but he revered the memory of the expresident, Dr. Tuttle, whose very face was a benediction In Itself. Harry J. Mllllgan responded to the toast, "Lincoln's LI vy Wabash History." The speaker remembered those men as heroes who, in the far past, blazed the way through the old forests to the picturesque snot where the walls of Wabash now stand erect and proud a college whose progress was humble and slow, but now in the possession of a history' more Interesting than the birth notice of a million-dollar institution of learning. Mr. Milligan recalled the fact that Henry Ward Beecher was once a trustee of Vtabasn College. He paid a neat compliment to the new president by remarking: "It is now as it was in the first era. The wise men came from the East." "Dana's Mineralogy Wabash Metal" fell to the lot of Albert Baker. Mr. Baker was confident that there are two things in the world that lawyers never miss. One is a subscription list and the other an after-dinner speech. Of Wabash metal he could say but little, for when he was there "shlnplasters servea tne purpose or metal He thought, however, mat tne average wabash young man was endowed with a splendid resource of brass, which was considered a valuable metal during his college days. Edgar II. Evans talked about "Bowen's Logic Wabash and Business" and lamented the fact that so few oollege-bred men push themselves forward Into commercial Ufa lie was sure, however, that Wabash brought out that great doctrine cf protection so valuable to manufacturers. Dr. E. R. Lewi was chosen to handle "Anthon's Virgil's Aer.eld Wabash Globe Trotters," Instead of J. K. Sharpe, jr., who was originally tJown for the toast. Dr. Lewis deliveied his remarks in a humorous way that created a great deal of mirth about the tables. Gen. J. R. Carnahan gave an Interesting interpretation of the topic, "Schiller's William Tell Wabash Legends" and W. A. Ketcham talked atout Wabash and the War." C. W. Moore was selected to respond to the toast. "Boise's Xenophon's Anabasis Wabash's Retreat of the Greeks," R. B. F. Pelrce, who was to have respondOii. being absent. Other toasts were as follows: "Owen's Homer's Odyssey Wabo sh Woes, sorrows and Joys," by C. M. Zener;"Youman's Chemistry Wabash and Science," by G. W. Benton; "SnelTs Astrono-my-U'abash star Gazine;." by Rev. G. L. Mackintosh. tJovemor Matthews and Charles R. Williams both made remarks appropriate to the occasion. The address of Dr Burroughs was followed by the song. "Auld Lang Syne." PRES. MTimOUGHS'S RESPONSE. President Burroughs responded to the toast "Wabash and the Boys." After referring to the memories of the past, with which the evening had abounded, in the review of which every alumnus, however dignified or venerable, is still a boy. Dr. Burroughs proceeded to speak of the boys of the present who will be the alumni of the future, and make the name and reputation of the college In the time to come. In so doing he referred to the present educational policy of the college, which he described as conservatively progressive. Wa bosh Is willing tha other institutions shall

A year ago last June I was so bad that the attacks were almost hys terical, and my appetite and digestion were In a terrible condition. I also suffered with great mental depression. mmmm MI3S NETTIE FKASEK. "I was induced to try Dr. G.eene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy nd the first bottle had a wonderful effect on my condition. After four bottles were used I was entirely cured. I never used any medicine that helped me so much, and I would recommend It In the highest terms possible, as too much cannot be said in praise of this wonderful medicine."

The college has taken, during the last year, In connection with certain changes, a decided position regarding principles determining the curriculum. The college work Is arranged in year courses, fifteen of which are requisite for graduation. Without breaking class lines, certain permutations In these year course lead to definite lines of study, and specialization Is thus permitted in the later years. A small number of subjects is pursued at one time In order that the training effect of these subjects may be marked. It Is not the policy of Wabash to give the A. 11. detjTee without that work in Greek language and literature which has been so ably conducted through many years by one whose work is so highly appreciated and whose name Is so tenderly cherished by all of the alumni who have been under his iniluence. It is believed, however, that a valuable literary training may be obtained without Greek, special attention belntr jrlven to modern lanuajces, Knlish, history, social science and philosophy, and lor this work the degree of bachelor of philosophy Is offered. Wabash believes in college athletics, believing also that they can be and should be properly regulated and kept in their place. The commodious library so well arrungel and fully stocked with carefully selects! volumes Is under the efficient direction of Librarian Thomson, Making itself felt in the general work of the-college. Text-books are becoming In a larre d-,-rree, except a3 reference books, a thii g of the past. Advanced seminary work in Fnglish, history, political economy and' philosophy is tending to produce strong and able thinkers. The attendance of students, in spite of the iinancial depression, has len larger this year than last, and an earnest spirit of work prevails. Wabash rejoices to be a college. However ample her endowment may becom she can well expend all that may be entrusted to her in college work. Her aim Is to train citizens, teachers and professional men, who shall be masters in their several lines of thought and service. In conclusion. President Uurroughs Invited the alumni to visit the college often that they might see the work which Is going on from day to day. and which is the best test of th life and usefulness of the college. Det the memories of the vast be revived not only In such featherings as these but also in tne walks of the beautiful campus, under the broad, spreading forest trees and In the colleiro halls now so amply furnished for the work which Wabash is aiming to accomplish.
