the evening, fairly outdid herself. Hers was rather an ungrateful task, as there was but the one beautiful solo, "But the Lnrd Is Mindful cf His Own." In which she could show her powers aside from, her good work In the quartet from Rlgoletto' which tnded the programme, owing to the cut of the last orchestral numbers because of the overkngth of the evening's plan. Mrs. Poole-King's voice shows visible signs of improvement during the last two years. The beautiful quality of her orsran Is tiow scarcely marred at all by the decided break of former days. She deservedly shares the contralto oratorio honors In America with Mrs. Carl Alves, of New York. The color of her voice is rich and attractive. Mr. Ben Davles, the English tenor, has not been overrated by the laudations of his countryman, and during the past few weeks of our own. The breadth of Mr. Davies'a musical comprehension Is evinced by the fact that he has not allowed his operatic training and experience to infringe on hU true oratorio style with the exception of the use of more portamento1 in his recitative than. Is traditional. But Mr. Davles combines, to a degree, the power to move either from a sentimental or religious standpoint, never for a moment lowering his standard to that of the mock-heroic, as 13 often the case with oratorio singers who are endowed by nature only with a dramatic feeling" for romance. Mr. Davles has that subtle faculty belonging to great orators and preachers, as well, of taking his audience Immediately Into hl3 confidencemaking friends, as it were. Ills mezzo voce singing is as perfect as 13 possible to a human, being, hi3 whispered prayer is clean and heard with ease at great distances. His feeling for hl3 aria, "Be Thou Faithful Unto Death," was superb, and in the "Waft Her. Angels," one was Impelled to hear angelic wings. Both Mr. Davles and Mr. Helnrich are tone painters, so to speak- The latter, the celebrated American baritone (although German by birth), presents a dramatic picture with every phrase lite life's work has been to make that picture ennobling, hence his devotion to oratorio. The people felt the fire and deep expression In Max Ilelnrich's singing, as they always do whenever or wherever he sings. Ills nature Is so thoroughly artistic and Intense that no matter what tones he might utter people would "feel" whatever the music he reads. As It is, hl3 tone goes hand in hand with his feeling. Ills cry, "O God, have mercy" was given as but few men can sing that touching aria, Even the heralded praises of the European world had not prepared U3 for Henri Marteau, the youthful French violinist that he Is. Though but twenty years old, he has attained a marvelous virtuosity. The mantle of the great Leonard, his master, has fallen upon a genius. PaganinJ would admit that the youth is possessed with "the holy lire." Marteau's breadth of conception and maturity of Interpretation show more musical age than years of life. His use of the harmonics which answer to 'the soprano headtones around. high C 13 marked with ease and perfect intonation. If added years continue to develop his technique and eplrlt of interpretation. subduing somewhat his superfluous nervous energy. It 13 Impossible to predict the height to which his genius may carry him. Emil Mollenhauer has brought with him from Boston an orchestra that is well trained ami muslclanly striking. This refers as much to the concerted efforts of the fifty players as to their Individual excellence. Throughout the first nart the orchestra was under such dominating discipline as to give the belief that It was designed purely for oratorio accompaniment. Later It had an opportunity to dispel any such lurking suspicion. In the MacDcwell selection, "In a Haunted Forest." even more than in the Beethoven overture, it burst forth as an orchestra of rare ability, one to compare favorably with any Thomas's baton ever guided. WORK OP TUB CIIOI1US.

Sri verb Manner in ivhlch the Oratorio St. Paul Wan Sous. The first half of the programme was given to the singing of Mendelssohn's first part of "St. Paul" and excerpts. This was the opportunity for the chorus. Some time before the hour far beginning there were a few members of the chorus in the seats erected for them on the stasre, and then from that time till even after the work began they kept coming In. There were groups of a half dozen following quickly on each other, till there was a crowd at the enr of the platform, and It looked as If there would not be ceat3 for all. The arrangement of the chorus is different from what it has teen In other years. There ire not so many, to begin with, and this allows all to be placed in tiers on the permanent platform. There are voices of each kind on every row. At the left are the first Boprano3, then the second soprano3, and acroaa to the riu'ht follow first and second tenors, first and second basses and first and second alto. There were 2J3 In the chorus last nisat. There arc many whit? gowns worn by the ladies.- but the majority have on colors. At the extreme left Spain Is represented by the red gown of one and the yellow of another, but they are separated by a frown cf black. There Js a large sprinklins of blues and pinks, and a yellow now and then throw. In a conspicuous bit of :olcr. The impressionist artbt would find an opportunity to lay ou his colors generThe orchestra 1 seated on the platform 'extcr.slcm in front, and the soloists are crowded to the extreme front. Palm.3 and lilies have been u.eed as a border for tne musicians, and a few tlags hang-above their heads and nt the rear. Just nt the appointed hour Mr. Hen Davles, with Mile. Trcbelll. Madame Clara Poole-King and Mr. Max Iltinrich made their appearance, and tins was the signal for the flrat demonstration of applause. They were followed by Mr. F. X. Arens, the director of the chorus, who was also warmly greeted. The chorus is composed of over 230 of the best singers in the city. Most of the prominent voices have been placed in the front row. Anions those who have the tlrst positlons are Miss Urernermann, Mi3 Louise LJchradcr. Mrs. U. J. Hammond, Mrs. W. C. Lynn, Mrs. Henry Jameson, Mrs. Anna Valker, MLs. Uahr, Mrs. Uauer, Mrs. Henrietta Larmeier, Mrs. Chldcster, Miss S3 weenie. Miss Anna McLaughlin, Mrs. G. l Branham. Mr. Andrew Smith, Mrs. Fred Lander, Mr. Morris Meek, Mr. "N'ell. Mr. Cue ho ran. Mr. Stelnhllbcr. Mr. W. C. timock. Mr. D. D. Nay, Mr. IM Swift, Mrs. 3. L. Kiser. Miss McQuiddy, Misses Barr, Mis AVUiard, Mrs. S. L. Morrljon, Mrs. C. 11. Watson. Mrs. W. C. Smock and Mrs. C. . Foster. After a few notes from the orchestra Mr. Arens waved his hands and the chorus Ton a.3 one person and began the great oratorio. The full ten.? were gradually lncreiHtd in power till the majestic words seemed fraught with a feeling most butllm?. There was rerfect unison le-twei-n chorus, orchestra and director. Tne members of the former could not but feel that the amount of work and time which they had given was amply repaid. It was hard work that brjunht the perfection which the chorus showed in the oratorio, but cr.ly those who have been ensealed In 1 h ive any iu:v-i.tkn of the patience with which each phrase has been made to fulrtll Its highest meaning. In listening to the rob-nn choral "To J:d on Hlsh" the absolute precision oT the voices "was not t .i M'i - iivtncM bv t rroae?f ru. Th expressV'n cgain was all that couM be de-sired. There were r.o en-or?, and t w - .'fuv 1-Urncfd. Tn'.s celjence continued throughout made Tie oratorio's rendition rr.aj st:c. "Take Him Away" was thrilling and the "Stone Him t) Iath" mnde one shudder. Th ladies Chorus sang the plaintive "isml. Why Feruevutebt Thou Mt" and the whole chorus took up the sentiment In Titee Up. Arise," and then th lntrumr-ntatloa cea.-ej and the choral followed. The chorus which ha 1 found and felt its success ke;t lncreas'nT In excellence till in the final grand uni.-o-i rf voices and Instruments It f.ilrly out-ild Itself sn l surpass! its hst rc-.e.in U effort. To -the majority the chorus work was flawless. The "Fair FlUn." which Is the concerted work for to-night's 1 to gramme, U entirely different Ui character. Mr. Ar.-n has hid about the same voices un-ier hH direction for two years. The mud; tivea lost year showed a conductor'

skill. With the rehearsals of another season the chorus has demonstrated its- ca Eacity, and Mr. Arens has done much to ring it to Its full. From that the act of rising and sitting at the same time to the presentation of the most difficult selection of the festival he has shown his competency. Mr. Aren3 gave the credit to the chorus In the manner In which he pointed to It when the applause came vociferously from the audience. He stands very quietly when directing the chorus till the expression grows in fervor, when his whole figure f-peaks in Its motion, and even the lock of hair which lies loosely on top of his head has Its part to play In accentuation. One could see the crescendo In his manner. When he directed the American composition of MclJowell for the orchestra there was a decided difference. He was moved by the spirit! of the forest, and every Instrument seemed to be the one he was directing-. He was everywhere at once, and head, hai arms and body were moving to carry out the idea which the composer has wrought in the fine piece of Instrumentation.

SOME AVOIIK HIG HATS. Hut Moat of Them Were Itonnetlesn Nome Who Were There. There were some vacant seats last night, as to-night seems to be the favorite one. Many society people who have always had scats in the' balcony were on the main floor, and many prefer it. The lights were all electric, and so arranged that the stage was In full view of every part of the hou.se. There were few bonnets worn and some hats. Many ladles were without bonnet3. There were a few !n full dress, but it did not prevail to any great extent. Those who were In evening dress carried or wore flowers. Fortunately there were not many of the flaring big bow hats, but some could rot resist the temptation to take up as muc'h roanr as possible and exclude their neighbor at the rear from se?lng ill to which a ticket ought to have entitled a patron. Among those who occupied front rows in the La'conv were Col. and Airs. Kit Lilly. !r' in Mrs- A- J- Treat- Mr- Mrs. JJr laylor. Mrs- J- Lilly and f?u-t. Miss eP?on. of Fort Wayne; Mr. and Mrs. . M. and Miss Ogle, Mrs. W. tf. I'arkley and niece. Mr. and Mrs. Henry S. Fraser, Mr. J. it. McKee and Miss Beaty, Mrs. John f. D-ckson, Mrs. Cfeorge A.

I'oole-KInK'n Engagement -Mr. Mills and American Pitch. Madame Clara Poole-King was Keen yesterday just after the morning rehearsal, when she had run over the solo parts of "St. Paul" with the orchestra, Madame K nrr is very fond of the oratorio and was glad to find that, she was on tne programme for it. She has Just been singing in concert with most of the artists who are here for tha May festival. Mr. Davles, as well as herself, received great ovations at the Springfield festival. Mrs. King sings at the Mad-lson-avcnue Church in New York, where the last Sunday of every month the choir presents an oratorio. A few weeks ago they gave "Elijah," and the Damrosch orchestra and soloists presenting the same a short time after had not so good a performance. Madame Poole-King will go to Europe in June and study some new songs wlrh Kxndeseer as critic. She finds that to sins before a critic doed much more to benefit than to sing for her friends and the public, who compliment her so highly. While in Europe a number of years ago somi young women went to her and askel her to try their voices. They had been with some of the celebrated masters and they liked criticism so much that they left the men and studied with her in Paris, an3 when she went to Italy they left Paris and went there also. The festival programme she regards as one of the best ever given in this country. She was most generous In her compliments to her fellow-artists and wis as charming in her welcome to them as they came la to the rehearsal and after their singing as if she had not been a rival In the vocal field. It Is quite probable that Madame Poole-King will be a member of the opera company at the Covcnt Garden Theater next season, when Sir Augustus Harris vr'A bring out grand opera orv a line seal 2. Sae would have taken a part in the opera, at the Metropolitan Theater In New York recently had she not bb;n engaged previously for a season in Toronto, where she was at the time. Madame Pooled Kins was written In rezard to singing at thj Cincinnati festival, and when the committee found that she was to sing here they evidently felt that they must have some other great singer who was not on the Indianapolis programme, and so from here she will return to her home in New York. There is no mere popular contralto In the concert nld than Madame Pjle-Klng. In 1SD5 fhe may return to the country for a season1 of grand opera, but for the present this will be her last appearance In America. There is no singer, among men In this country, who has made the furore in concert that Mr. Ben Davie3 has. There are a good many reasons why this is so. He Is of robust physique and genial manner, corUal and pleasant. This is enough to' make poison. ready to like him. Then his voice is mu-Tlc; his spesking voice as well as his sing:n0' voic-. he is of the blonde order and Immaculate in dress, even for morning. - liile he Ia cf Welsh parentage, he would scarcely be taken for a foreigner, lie compel tied of the heat yesterday, but felt that If It would be the means of reducing his Iksh he would be ready and willing to stand it. Since coming to this country lie r.as Pen feusted &nu etcd f continuously th.tt ne ru.s grown stout. When telling of t cntti tahimcnts he was asked if I.e liked the American c-mklnij, about which ko mm rail, and he said he did Immensely. He likes Tomlinson Hall to sing in. and lie wja 1 ei'tatochy applauded by the members iv.' thf chorus for hit' ringing of the 1 rts In 5t. Paul.: Thera !s a delicious quality in Mr. Daviis's voice and there seems to be no limit to Its cap ibillties. Fur every full, round tcr.e there seemed to b- just as much in iV!-Tve. o that at 11.) t!me was there a fu-?.i:io:i that he hud given all that wa3 poScdLlc. . : ii Mr. Mills has the given name of Watkins-, he is LInylish uml not Welh. as It ml;?ht indicate. his been in Amcrba about a w-.-ek, and in that time he has sung in Titt-HeK. Ma?., In ."JiMJah." r.nd nt i'k.tid;rre. Pa., both In festivals. He entered the country an entire str.iner to all except those lie met on shipboard. The country ho llnd mo?t uttractive. but he :iai!'-s from plaeo to piucc i;re.it. What Mr. Mills finds particularly to mention befld; the j-:n.rcra and the festivals, and R'.n-.ftbln vnch is cf vast imporranc? to singers, is te pKcn cioson. It, Is fully onehaTf tone lower t hi. n the English pitch, and ccncquvr.tlv easier on the voice in Fome o( the oratories. "Vvhen." he said, "you want hish F'a It is very convenient to have tho pitch a tril'.e Mgh?r at th other end cf the scale, but it m-.kfs no dlflerence, as my voice 13 jie llb , and d-j)th of tori" nr. much as the Ui.TertH.-e in pitch would not effect It." In M-aknv of the festival n Wilkes b-.rrc Mr. Willis said that both Mr. Davie and h!:.;?elf r.'Ctived perfect ovations', and t'nr.t the papers In that city and also those in PtttsfieJd bad given most complimentary notices, i-nd. a:- he mcdestly put it, "It wis most BMtlfylntf. to say the lit." Tne papers have been sent by Mr. Mills to his family In Knland. Mr. Mills had expected to sin in V't. Paul" last night, lie finds day r.l!at, is comparatively new to him. and wlil test hi j-er? of presenting new music in a short tim for rehearsal. However, he Is a tine reader and In in fine voice, so that with the rehearsal, which comes today, he will bo fullv prepared to Rive It as it should be done. The pictures of the artists do not do them Justice, fur they do not frhow comi'iexlcn. and Mr. Mills has the freshness which got: with ll'it hair. He Is ruicfl H5 athlete. aaJ tl.mks nothing of walking fditeen mibs a d?v. I keeps him In good trim. Mr. Mi!!s v.il! go from here to Cincinnati f t r the festiv d. and from there will k to llur.r-lo and Niagara Falls. The letter sibt he would not think of musing. He will viilt fr!c:id3 h made on the w.i.v or in liuffal.) und will go to New York for r. li.e visit before returning to England. Mr. Mills has been consulted for return engagements for next yeir, but his time !s sl takn in Fnland that he doec not think he will be nhle to conu. He has met with wonderful success in the obi country and In the Ma?e he has sung here, lie came In f-r the four concerts at Plttsf eM. Wllkoshrvre. here and Cincinnati, and unices he mnke rome other tii.rngo r-'-nt to Sn b?fore ;'ntr another fortnight will f.r1 him tn route to Ids family. Mitrm CanPH Confnnion. Confu.!oii reigned when the crowd began pouring out of the hall. It was raining in torrcuta outside, and although two or three

dozen cars were waiting outside to carry away the people It was almost Impossible to reach them, and -for awhile the crowd was surging back and forth In the doorway, with those behind pushing forward in a vain endeavor to get out, not knowing the deluge of rain that was ; coming down. When a carriage number was called it was almost impossible for Its owner to push through the crowd and get out unless he happened to be near the door. Another source of confusion was the forgetting of the number of hired livery carriages, and, when called, the occupant would not recognize It, yet the driver knew he had a "load" somewhere in the crowd. All of this time the rain was falling In perfect torrents, and any one venturing out would be drenched to the skin In a moment. No questions were asked of the hackmen about prices. Wnen an accommodation carriage was called it was not a question of price, but who could reach it first. Madame Rumen's Hard Study. Madame Emma.Eames (the last name pronounced as If there were no first E) arrived yesterday afternoon fpom Chicago, and immediately went to her apartments at the Pates House to rest after the warm day of travel, for which she had to arise early in the morning. Mr. Story, the husband of Madame Eames, was seen, and spoke of the fatigue which his wife felt after the travel and at the close of a season which has been one of hard work for the great songstress. Madame Eames has been singing continuously for several months. She Is more familiar with the opera, and after two years of the Abbey-Grau opera seasons in this country, feels that grand opera In this country has grown in favor, both in the East and West. From this city Madame Eames will go to Cincinnati, where she is to sing five times. For these concerts", as well as the one here to-night, she has to prepare herself in lines which are not all familiar, so that the time to-day and till rext week will be taken un in study by her. Madame Eames will leave to-morrow morning for Cincinnati- This summer she will spend in Europe, where she will slug In her operatic repertoire under Sir Augustus Harris, at the Covent Garden Theater. Mr. Story has been In Chicago, is now here, and will go to Cincinnati, where he will leave Mrs. Eames and meet her In New York. Mr. Story Is the son of the famous American .sculptor, W. W. Story, now of Home. The Matinee To-Day. One of the most attractive and popular concerts of the : festival will be that at the matinee to-day, beginning promptly at 2:20 p. m. In it Miss Emma Juch, who Is one of the greatest sopranos now engaged in concert for festival week, and who has many friends and admirers In Indianapolis, will make her first appearance, singing the aria from "Carmen" (Dlzet) and "Ave Marie"' (Bach-Gounod), the latter with accompaniment of clarinets, bassoons and French horns, with violin cbligato, by Mr. Felix Winternitz. Mme. Clara PooleKing, a superb contralto, who has been specially engaged for this matinee, will sing two numbers, Mr. Van Vechten Kogers, an accomplished harpist, will play "La Danse des Fees" (Parlsh-Alvars) and Mr. Fritz Giese, the greatest 'cello player now-before the public, will give "O Cara Memorla" (Servals.) The complete programme Is as follows: Overture, "Merry Wives of Windsor" Nlcolal Solo, "Tralhaison" Chaminade Mme. Clara Pbole-Ktng. Intermezzo from the ballet of "Nalla" ; Dellbes Aria from "Carmen" (Michaelll) Bizet Miss Juch. Cello solo, "O Cara Memorla" Servals Mr. Glese. Andante from quartet In B flat Tschalkowsk!

In the. estimation of many the greatest concert of the festival will be that of tonight, of which Mme Emma Eames will be the bright particular star. This famous singer, will sing one of the solo parts In "Fair Ellen," a selected solo, and In the duet with Mr. Mills." Max Bruch's dramatic cantata, "Fair Ellen" (a short work, running only fifteen minutes.) A stirring composition will be given with the great festival chorus under Prof. Arena's direction. Mr. Mills. Mr. Friedhelm and M;. Towne will all be heard in solos. Although there is a great sale of seats for this concert, there are many excellent seats yet to be obtained. The complete programme will be. as follows Overture. "Obron" Weber Alia. "O Paradlpe" (l'Afrlcaln).. Meyerbeer Mr. Towne. Introduction to Fifth Act "Manfred" Relnecke Aria, "Pleurez mes Yeux," from "Le Cid" Massenet Mme. Eames. Serenade (op. 12) for string orchestra Herbert Conducted by Mr. Arens.

MIas Gertrude May Stein, one of the greatest contraltos In America, will, by a special arrangement made last night, sing n solo at. to-nigiit's concert, the aria from "Joan of Arc," in which she has met with great success. This will be an interesting ird iitlon to the programme, which is a short one. . Festival Note. The damp 'night had little sympathy for violin strings, and a little more "tuning up" than usual was necessary. Thirty-eight minutes of continuous violin playing, even by a great artist, is a trifle tiresome to a big audience. Mr. Arens had the chorus rise In acknowledgement of the applause at the conclusion of the final chorus. While Mr. Davles sang "Be Not Afraid" list nUht the thunders were roaring, making the words apply to the state of mind some of the audience were in. After the first part was completed the chorus took seats in the hall, and the rows of empty chairs on the platform made the background for the soloists and the orchestra who gave the entire second part. As a matter of convenience to people liv ":: i:i the si-riounding tovn:s who will v? here o aUenu the musical trstiva! and other rdnccs of amusement the specials and regular trains that usually leave earlier In the evening will be held until It seems useless to ?peak of late, coiners. There are some who c mid not be on time if lite depended on it. Even after the horn announced the close of the Intermission Mr. Mollenhauer had to wait for the tardy cnes to get their seats before he could begin the Leonore Overture. The directors have had the corridor at the right of the hall arranged a9 a reception and waiting room for the artists. During the intermission the artists were there, and met a number of the members of the chorus, who were introduced by the directors, and president. Mr. F. E. Mayer. Mile. Trebelli was een during the intermission, and she was enthusiastic about the singing of the chorus. She said it was the best she had ever heard, and surpassed every chorus with which she had sung. She alo thinks the acoustic properties of the hall are mcst admirable. In her hearty commendation of Mr. Arens. she said it seemed to her that Mr. Arens held chorus, orchestra and singers In his hand so completely were, they under his control. The women artists both wore white. Madame Poole-King wore a white silk with an apple green figure. The cors.ige garniture was wide lace, and a lavender velvet belt and row of the same at the neck give tne requisite amount of color. Mile. Trebelli wore a white brocaded satin with a lace flounce, headed with a rouleau of yellow velvet, and her belt and neck garniture were of the velvet. A bunch of violets nestled near her neck at the left. The only fault which the public has to find with the Festival committee is that they .have given too much. It was the announced hour when carriages might be ordered when the miscellaneous part of the programme was beun. and there were ten numbers yet to be given. Of these Mr. Marteiu's folo requlrei i thirty-eight minutes and the MaeDowell suite had three parts, to say nothing of the many other good things, which crowded the hour to mtdntght. Many persons left after Mr. Davle3 uolo.

DEAKE MURDER TRIAL

SLtAYEK OF MRS. IDA WARD PLEADS INSANITY AT CREEXSHURG. Tiro 3Ien Killed hy a Cave-In nt Tunnelton, uud Llht nlnr llrenkii t"j n School Xear Fort Wayne. Special to the Indianapolla Journal. GREENSBURG, Ind May 13. The prosecution called Dr. George T. McCoy, of Columbus, as the first witness in the Drake murder case to-day. lie was the first to enter the room at the Plymate boarding house where the shooting took place. Ida Ward died fifteen minutes after Dr. McCoy arrived. Drake had shot her three times and shot himself in the head, saying they had agreed to die together. Mrs. Mary Plymate told about renting the room to the cuple, believing them man and wife. Mrs. Cook, the mother of Ida Ward, testified that Drake had called at her home on Monday, the day that they went to Columbus, and persuaded her daughter to go with him. He stated he had plenty money and could take good care of her. She at first declined to go, but he finally persuaded her. The next time the mother saw her daughter he was a corpse. The prosecution closed today, and the defense introduced several wdtness tending to prove that Drake was Insane at the time of the killing. CRUSHED TO DEATH. Falling Dirt Kill Two Men and InJure Two Others. Special to the Indlapapolis Journal. BEDFORD. Ind., May 13. A sad accident, in which two men lost their lives and two more were badly injured, occurred at Tunnelton, near Owensburg, twenty miles west, this afternoon. Men were tearing down the old bents, allowing loose dirt and stone to come down on the men. Those killed outright were: . J. A. TRUSTY, of New Albany. OZA N. JACKSON. The seriously Injured were: William H. Hurst, of New Albany, and Mat tjuinn. of Newberry. The dead and Injured were brought to this city, and will be conveyed to their homes to-night.

Instantly killing John Cumming, aged fifteen, and seriously if not fatally wounding six other children. The building was fired. WRIGHT'S NEW YACHT. The Commodore Hum a Surprise for the Wuwusee Yacht Club. Special to the Indianapolis JournaL COLUMBUS, Ind., May ..15. The coming meet of the Yacht Club at Wawasee lake will In- all probability be one of the very best ever held . In Indiana on any of her beautiful lakes. A feature worthy of mention will be the appearance of the new yacht of Commodore J. F. Wright, of this city, which has been named Wawasee. Mr. Wright will be remembered as a prominent character during the last live years in the regattas on the waters of Wavjpsee. Commodore Wright's new boat has just received the finishing touches, and is the admiration of all who have seen Its outlines. It will be shipped In , a few days to the Indiana Club house at the lake. The dimensions of the boat are as follows: Length, twenty feet over all; water line, sixteen feet; beam, six feet seven and one-half Inches; draft, eleven inches; free board, thirteen and onehalf Inches: lead ballast. Inside, 400 pounds; ballast in center board, of shot, 200 pounds; mast to hounds, sixteen feet; mast to truck, nineteen and one-half feet, thus giving a sailing area of 423 square feet, with main sail and two head sails. The boat has. two water-tight 'bulk heads fore and aft, with a displacement of 1.4u0 pounds, which, in the event of a capsize, would render It nonslnkable. A peculiar feature of this boat, and one worthy of mention, Is Its deflecting center board forward of the mast,- the object of which is to make the boat hold' to the windward, deflecting from starboard to port at any Ioint of the compass. Another feature of the boat is an entirely new traveler, which Is made of braided cotton cord, which is smoother than metal, and when in use is practically noiseless. The skin of this boat Is of white oak. In narrow strips, a half-inch thick, and running the entire length of the boat without splicing. The deck is white pine, and the cock pit is staved with the same. At the coming regatta this boat will be In command of Commodore Wright, and his friends believe she will make matters Interesting for the other fellows. M'lU GIPS CHICKENS. Tliey Come Home to Iloont mid He Resigns His Ofiicc. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE, Ind., May 15. At last night's Council meeting, John F. McHugh,author of the office-extension bill, and present city attorney, tendered his resignation, saying he was a believer In the doctrine of "to the victors belong the snpils," and that a Republican Council should have a Republican legal adviser. The -speech was heartily cheered, .as, under the new law, Mr. McIIugh's term was extended to September. The Republican Council elected George P.

Communion Service of 11 lhiptll Church. Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. For the first time in the history of Rochester churches the individual communion cup was used yesterday. The novel service took place In Northavenue Baptist Church, of which Rev. G. F. Love Is pastor.' It was the usual communion service, but, oxving to the novelty of the process of administration, there was an extraordinary attendance. Dr. Forbes, who designed the sanitary communion cups and trays, Was at the service to see that everything was done in order, and to microscopically examine the dregs after communion. Dr. Forbes stated to a Democrat and Chronicle reporter that the service ran smoothly, and was conducted with dispatch. There was no irreverence, and no idle curiosity noticeable while the sacred service was in progress. The pastor, Mr. Love, prefaced the exercises by a few appropriate remarks. He spoke of the change of administering the wine In Individual cups as one calculated to reduce the chances of conveying disease from person to person. He thouKht that no less dignity and solemnity would be observed by individual cups than when the slnKle chalice was passed from mouth to mouth. After this explanation the communion service was then proceeded with according to the prescribed rules of the Baptist Church. The people sat In their seats, and then the elders were called to the .front, and were given small silver trays, each one holding twelve miniature chalices. The elders hanled to each communicant one of the little cups, and after the contents had been tasted the cups were placed in racks specially made for holding them. There were t) communicants, and all were served In the short Fpace of half an hour. Dr. Forbes, whose microscopic researches into the sanitary problem involved in the Individual cups have attracted attention, was allowed to gather up Indiscriminately at least a dozen cups for the purpose of obtaining the dregs and placing them under microscopic examination. The Doctor, after thoroughly Investigating the contents, favored a Democrat and Chronicle rejorter with his conclusions. He said: "From a sanitary standjoint I am now satisfied that the Individual cup Ms an advance in the right direction. The dregs that I examined by my microscope after the communion service concluded Cvnvincrd mi' that it is. a whe move. 1; is a singular fact, but it is nevertheless true, that the dregs contained hardly any secretion from the mouth, and the unused wine was remarkably clean. There were no epithelium scales observable throuch the len. so that

The bowl of the chalice Is fo small that it ir;ic tlcally obviates the scales from entering the wine, ani even If It should, there could bo no evil consequences resulting from them, because the cup once u,aeI undergoes a cleansing before it is used a pain. "I am satisfied that we have got a porfaetly sanitary cup. The cup is a check to disease, and I think it should be used in all churches. "I examined the wine irlor to its being used, and I found it to be pure; there wu not the least evidence of bacteria or oth r matter in the wine. It has been a question whether my trevlous investigation were based on scientific principles, because I merely examined the ureKs, and not the wine previously. My opinion then was th.it the conclusions I reached would have b-t-:i the same even if 1 had subjected the untouched wine to a microscopical examination. This, I think. Is clearly pruvd Ly yesterday's Investigation." Next Sunday morning, at the Central Church, the 1,70) communicants of the church will be iserved In a FlmiUr manner to those in North-avenue Huptist Church.

Itorer Showed Wlutt I'urta Are. the Ilent to i:at. Detroit Free Press. At the pure-food exhibition yesterday afternoon i.rs T. Itorer lectured beioro a large audience of ladles on bow to da.1 with a side of beef. Mr. Mioheirs butchtr was on hand and cut up the mvit fur demonstration, while Mrs. Jiorr how,l what parts should te broile4, braised, baked, boiled or roasted. The lecture contained some startling announcements nnd was of unusual Interest to houstkevpers. The tenderloin, the sail, was the poorest part of the animal. althoUKh the hih.'st price was paid for it. The thouMer was the most nutritious. She condemned the pounding of steak and oilier part; it bruised the meat, and meat bruised w.: unlit for human food. Frying In a pan bho equally condemned as destroying the nutritive qualities of the meat. A tound of ineut having been cut off. Mr. Itorer explained that the fat In good condition hhouli be a little yellow, and good m.-ut when cut should be dark, r-'he advised her audience never to buy thin beef; and steaks should not " bo appreciated according to their weight, but rather their quality. Thia steaks were not good. Meat Fhould not be eaten In a post-mortem condition, l. e., a day or two after the animal has betu killed. Three weeks at least huuld elu;before the meat would b? in prime con 11 tlon. Mrs. llorer then explained the properties of the sirloin tleak and the lillet, and having ascertained from the butcher that the ttrioin wa old here at ) cents, and the ribs at 16 cents. Mie told the audience that the latter was by far the better part. Uroiled meat should be served rare; roat meat. should always be cooked with the bone. "Stop eating cakes and pies," the said. They are relics of barbarism and unfit for human food, if you wls.h to be strong and healthy. And I would al.o nay. do away with iried jtatocs. -Thtse things caust dyspepsia and other troubles.
