FIVE JIEN AFTER IT I'LKXTV OF CAXIH DATES WILLING TO CiO FOR llHOOKSlIIItirS SCALP. Kifchth District Convention To-Dny with elKon, Farin and Johnston In the Lend Other Polities. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Aug. 8. More than half of the 215 delegates to the Republican congressional convention to be held here to-morrow are in the city to- ; night. Five candidates will be placed In nomination: Hon. Thomas H. Nelson and George W. Faris, of this city; Judge Buff, of Sullivan: J. W. Halliday, of Clay, and ex-Congressman Johnston, of Parke. The contest at the start is expected to be between Nelson Faris and Johnston. The most spirited feature of the contest Is in the Jelegation from this county, where Faris's enemies are advocating the nomination of Nelson. Faris said to-night that this opposition was confined to a few men, and that he would have at least forty-five of the sixty-two votes of the county on the first ballot. He expects votes also -from Montgomery and Fountain counties. Nelson's friends say he will get Sullivan county's vote after the first ballot, and perhaps that of Clay. Johnston's friends claim sixty votes on the first ballot and profess to have had some sort of promise from some of the Terre Haute anti-Farls people of votes after one or two ballots. Most of the delegates who are here have come ahead to learn what is the best1 thing to do and will not say how they wdll vote. Col. R. W. Thompson will be chairman of the convention.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 8. Robert G. Still, as chief of the American bureau of organization of the Democratic "congressional committee, has issued an address to the Democrats of color of the United States. The address says In part: "The National Negro Democratic League will convene in Indianapolis, Ind., on the 14th Inst. It is hoped that negro Democrats from every State and Territory will be represented to evidence by their presence and voice their loyalty to the politics and principles of the administration. At no time in the history of the negro Democratic party has there been greater necessity for counseling together to determine the future caus and policy of the negro in America. It is a matter of congratulation to note the unswerving fealty shown to the Democratic party by our people in Alabama in the recent election. Possibly for the first time was the negro vote directly appealed to, and its response was evidenced by a return of large Democratic majorities In every negro county in the State. This open appeal to the negro is and shall be especially gratifying to you and the negroes generally." Election In the Chickasaw Mntion. ARMORIA, I. T., Aug. 8. An election for Governor was held to-day throughout the Chickasaw Nation. The candidates were P. S. Mosely, Independent; R. L. Boyd, cm the "Allotment In Severalty" ticket, and exGov. William Byrd, on the "Pull-back" ticket. The friends of the latter are sanguine of success, but the result, owing to the slowness of Territorial elections generally, wdll likely not be known for a couple of days. For more than a month the nation has been virtually without a Governor. The convention on July 13 proved a failure, the members refusing to respect the authority of acting Governor McClure, who had twice attempted to get the body together. Cannot Vote for Woman's Suffrage. TOPEKA, Kan., Aug. 8. I. O. Pickering, candidate for Governor on the Prohibition ticket and a strong woman suffrage advocate, makes public to-day a lengthy statement wherein he says the action of the last Legislature in submitting the suffrage resolution to the people Is a dead letter because the law as It passed the Senate and as published in the session laws differ in a material way, and that the lew has not been complied with In several respects. He charges "criminal carelessness or deliberate diabolism." Should Pickering's contention be sustained It would mean that woman's suffrage cannot be voted for in the coming fall election.

Patrolman Pope received the folloxdny letter yesterday: Excuse the opportunity which I tak write you. but I only wanted to ppvalc you of the nast. In which 1 have re to to ceived some ill treatment from you. But. oh. I am so happy as I think of the wor.is you SDoke to me. as It has learned me a lesson that I shall forever remember. Since then I have sought to find Christ an t am glad to Pay to-day that I have found great Joy and peace in Him. Well. I will close.

I think I will be baptized the last Sunday of this month.", The writer of the letter is a young woman, very pretty and of a poor but well respected family. Behind the letter is a story of sadness, but one full of a moral. Nearly a year ago she met a young business man of excellent prospects and who, it was thought, had considerable money. The parents of the young woman offered no objections and the two became engaged. The young man bought a costly ring and put it on her finger. Then there was a sad story and after that she became gay and reckless and hesitated at nothing. Her parents would not allow her to rem? in at home. She had not expected this, but she was ready to launch out Into a life of dissipation. She thought every one knew of her disgrace, whereas only a few of her most intimate friends were acquainted with It. She went to live at a place on North New Jersey street. About three months ago the pi ice was raided and the people arrested, among them this woman. In Police Court next morning the case against her was dismissed. As she was leaving the court room patroim?.n Pone, who was one of in the raid, went up t her 'L , you are above the life the polk and paid. you have oeen leaumg. xour parents, tnougn poor, could provide a home for you. even thouph it would not be a rich one. If you would only drop this life. You are much above Sour companions," concluded the officer an e pointed to them as they were laughing and Jostling each other in the court room. The young girl thought a moment, then looked the officer full in the face and said. "Mr. Pope, I am ready to do whatever you say." The patrolman then asked her if she would go to the Rescue Home. No. 57 East South street. She sail she would and patrolman Pone took her there. Since that time the Influences brought to bear upon her tiave won her over and in a short time she will return home. Her parents have assured her that she will be given a welcome. In a short time she will be baotlzed at one of the leading South Side churches and she will then be ready to start life anew. i ii r . Last Game vrlth Detroit. Pepper will pitch for Indianapolis in th closing Detroit game to-day. This is the last time Glenalvin's men .aill.be seen here this season.

To-morrow the Cincinnati National League team will be here, and local baseball enthusiasts wdll have an opportunity of seeing "Artie" Latham, the comedian of the diamond: "Biddy" McPhee." Hollidav, Dummy" Hoy, Canavan, George Smith, Hogan, the new outfielder, and other celebrities.

Wittrock will pitch for Indianapolis, and Cross may be In the box for Cincinnati.

Indianapolis plays at Toledo Saturday, Sunday and Monday, and then returns for three games each with Grand Rapids and Toledo, beginning next Tuesday. Then the team goes aay for a three weeks trip. Ilruno PllRheln's Varying Career. Springfield Republican. Bruno Pllghein, the Munich artist at the head of the new school of revolt, died a few weeks' ago in his forty-seventh year. He began as a religious painter, failed In that specialty, turned to the depiction of jokes and risky subjects and succeeded, returned to religion, tried sculpture and then painting saints and madonnas, and was no more successful than before. Since his last failure, fourteen years Ago, he h?.s been busy on able and questionable pastels for the public and somber religious subjects for himself. Eight years ago, however, h sprang Into fame by a cyclorama of tbe Crucifixion, which won general praise. The Royal Academy at Munich made him an honorary professor, and his last years have been full of honors. His masterpiece was a large painting of a blind pirl growing hf-r way through a field of scarlet poppies. But it is the Irony of fate that the only thing that ever brought Pllghein's name to thse shores was a humorous pastel of a little girl and dog seated on a plank over a stream, with their backs to the spectator, which has since served as a political cartoon and a patent medicine advertisement. Says Smith to Murphy. New York Mail and Express. A fast friendsnlp has sprung up between Senators Murphy and Smith.
