A HE THE MAXV CHARGES AGA1XST SIPERIXTEXDEVT JOIIXSOX. Senator Iloyd'a Committee nt Work at Fort Wayne In Order to Hear from Rev. Coombi Shortly. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FORT WAYNE, Ind., Feb. 25. There was great Interest to-day in what was brought out at the investigation of charges against Superintendent Johnson's management of the State Institute for Feeble-minded Youth. The entire day was taken up and the committee-will not be through before to-morrow night. Dr. Sweringenvphysielan of the institution, was the first wltners called. His testimony was of little importance, except that it developed a document written by Superintendent Johnson to Hon. Robert C. Bell during the late campaign to be used as a political document. Following is an extract from it: "He urged the retention of Democratic control of the State because that party had just commenced the task of placing all the State institutions under civil service and to give the ; new departure a respectable chance to get established.. Let the new benevolent laws enacted by the Democratic Legislatures of 1889, 1891 and 1893 have an opportunity to become popular by their results before you turn over the control to those who, if ever so good, would make changes for the worse instead of better." Mrs. Orr, thet matron, was next examined and testified that in some respects Johnson was a competent superintendent, in other respects he was not. "His' good qualities are not so predominant," she said, "as to make him a suitable person for superintendent. He does not stand by hisown rules and orders. Issuing an order one day and countermanding it the next, and he has a violent temper, and on one occasion called me a liar and accused me of having sought to estrange him from his wife." This afternoon twenty principal merchants testified that Jonnson had been exceedingly economical in purchasing supplies and made them bid so low that there was nothing in it to deal with the institution. t On the charge of the cooks and. assistants that there were worms in the meal, and that - the meat was tainted, , it .was proven that it was without Johnson's knowledge, and that when he learned of it he ordered the damaged goods returned at once to the seller. The testimony of Jack Frost, whom Johnson punished so severely, was taken this afternoon, ana that affair, together with the political letter written by him, are the only serious charges that have, so far. been brought against him. Johnson's testimony will not be heard till to-morrow. It Is believed here the Frost case will probably be the cause of his dismissal. ( REV. COOMBS IS DIM II.

There was, however, no sign of a wolf, living or dead, in sight; he hunted around within a. radius of a mile or two, but found nothing, and finally he went over and examined what remained of the dead colt. There was not much; the skin appeared to have been neatly and completely Hayed from the body; nearly every particle of flesh was gone,, as were also the rib liones and anything smaller: the fore and hind legs had been wrenched off from the knee joint down and carried off some distance, where everything mashable on them had been properly mashed. The skin was almost intact, and spreading It out. hair side down. Mr. Warnock casually examined it, when he noticed with some surprise a small bunch of flesh that had been untouched, and which was adhering to the hide, and inclosed in which was the strychnine tablet. A closer examination revealed the. really extraordinary fact that every single one of the ten strychnine pellets that had been inserted, had been left similarly. Every shredtTOf' flesh . had been eaten all around them, and not a single one touched. No wonder it is a difficult matter to catch wolves when they are endowed with a cunning' like this. The explanation is that on this occasion Mr. Warnock had picked up the pellets before inserting them into the bait with his fingers instead of. as was his usual custom, with a pair of forceps. But the fact Illustrates the kind of foes the ranchers have to deal with. It will pay you to take Hood's Sarsaparilla. With pure blood you need not fear the grip, pneumonia, diphtheria or fevers. Hood's Sarsaparilla will make, you strong and healthy. Hood e p'ills are purely vegetable, carefully prepared from the best Ingredients. 25c. 1

BALL .RULES CHANGED

AMENDMENTS PROPOSED 11V THE XATIOXAL LEAGLE COMMITTEE. Provisions for Fining Both Turbulent Player and NcRllfcent lmpireM General Sporting; ews. NEW YORK, Feb. 25. The rules committee of the National Baseball League, consisting of Edward Hanlon, of Baltimore; James A. Hart, of Chicago, and C. H. Byrne, of Brooklyn, met In this city today in the Fifth-avenue Hotel. Mr. Byrne took the place of W. W. Kerr, of Pittsburg, who was unavoidably absent. The committee made numerous changes, which will be voted on by the League at its meeting on Wednesday. It recommended, among other things, that the pitcher's plate be enlarged, placed restrictions upon noisy coaching, gave to the umpires greater power to discipline "kickers" and changed ; the wording of many rules, some of which were heretofore vague and ambiguous. Among the changes recommended are: Rule No. 8. to make the pitcher's plate 24x6, instead of 12x4. Rule 14, Section 2. is changed to read: "The alternate ball delivered the pitcher may be discolored by him, but by no other player. . In so doing, the pitcher shall resort to no other means than rubbing the ball with his hands or gloves." ' Rule 19, Section 2, is changed to read: "No players, except the catcher and first baseman, shall be permitted to wear padded or lined gloves or mitts." Rule 40 is thus defined: "A bunt hit is a deliberate attempt on the part of the batsman to bunt a ball slowly within the infield so it cannot be fielded by an infielder in time to retire the batsman." Rule 53 is changed to read: "The coachers shall be restricted to coaching the base runner." An amendment , to Rule 55, Section 33, reads: "It shall be the duty of an umpire to enforce the rule regardless of a personal opinion as on their merits. Thisshall apply especially to Rule 53 and Section 3 of Rule 57." In the event of the umpire's failure to enforce these rules he shall be fined $10 for each offense on the sworn statement of the captain of the opposing team and two reputable witnesses, which affidavit, however, must- be forwarded to . the secretary of the league within twenty-four hours from the time of the offense." Rule 5j The committee recommend that the constitution be amended to penalize this rule aa follows: "Any player other than the captain leaving his position in the field or leaving the bench to question a decision of the umpire shall be fined $10 by the umpire for the first offense and for the second shall be removed from the game and required to leave the field forthwith."Rule 60, Section 5 is amended to read : "The umpire shall remove a player for a violation of Section 1 of this rule and the player so removed shall be Ineligible to play in a championship game for the next three succeeding games." The bat can now be of any size or length, but it must be round and made of "solid hard wood." -Another most important change-is one' that constitutes a foul ball. Hereafter any ball that goes onto foul ground between the lines of bases is to be considered foul, whether it is batted directly to the ground or in the air. This does away with tjhe old ten-foot rule. , The foul tip was sat upon as follows: "A ball tipped by the batsman and caught by the catcher within the ten-foot line is a strike. This is a diiect concession to the ; pitchers, the only one made by the committee. ' The regular schedule meeting of the league takes place at the Fifth-avenue Hotel to-morrow,, when the rules committee's report will be presented. ' Xevr York Ball Team Going: South. NEW YORK, Feb. -25. The steamer Tallahassie, Which sails for Savannah to-morrow, will carry the members of the New York baseball club. From Savannah the ' club will go to Jacksonville, Fla.; to begin its practice work.' George. H. Davis, the field captain of the team, will be in charge of the men. Those who ; will go are C. A. Farrell, catcher; W. H. 1 Clark, pitcher; J. J. Doyle, first base; James Stafford, second base; Mike Tiernan, E. D. Burke, Thomas E. Bannon, W. H. Murphy, Frank Knauss antl L. S. Gorman. In Jacksonville they will be joined by five more men who have signed. Among them is Rusie, the pitcher. The club will remain in Jacksonville about three weiks. -Andrew Freedman, manager of the club, will join his men next week and will remain with them during their practicing. First of Ormonde') Get. SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 25. Fairy Rose,' the celebrated Palo Alto brood mare, has foaled a filly by Ormonde, and W. H. McDonough considers himself $25,000 loser. Some time ago McDonough, who paid $150,000 for Ormonde, made a contract with the Stanford Palo Alto stock farm, whereby a number of Palo Alto brood mares were to be bred to Ormonde. McDonough was to take all the colts foaled and the fillies were to go. to Palo Alto. McDonough had been offered $25,000 for the foal before Its birth if it turned out to be a colt, but the young millionaire scorned even that fancy price for one of, Ormonue's progeny. The filly just foaled is the first one of Ormonde's get this year, and, under the terms of the contract becomes the property of Mrs. Leland Stanford. - ' Tbe Coming: Yacht Race. NEW YORK, Feb. 25. At a meeting of the American cup committee, held to-day, a letter from Lord Dunraven was read, saying that the first race is considered by him to be provisionally fixed for Sept. 7, and that he will use his best endeavors to get across the ocean in time to race on that date. The resignation of C. Oliver Iselin, from the cup committee, was accepted. Another letter was received from George J. Gould, In which he says he will go to Europe this spring and will bring back the Vigilant, so as to have her at the staring line, barring accident, to meet the new boat. The resignation of Mr. Iselin from the cup committee is due to the fact that he is a member of the syndicate building the new cup defender, which disqualifies him for the position. ' ' East St. LoulM Track to Reopen. ST. LOUIS, Feb. 25. The East St. Louis Jockey. Club held a meeting to-day and decided to reopen its track and run daily, commencing with next Saturday. ' No license from the turf congress will be asked for at present, but in view of the fact that the track may apply for one later no outlawed horses, owners or jockeys will 'be allowed to participate in the meeting. In deciding to run every day and barring the Madison horses, owners and jockeys, the East St. Louis people will clash with the Madison track, and, naturally, this will bring about another race-track war. Capt. Sinclair will preside at East St. Louis, with J. W. Brooks handling the flag. Baseball In England. LONDON, Feb. 25. At a meeting here to-day of the baseball association it was decided to play forty-two games during the coming season, which will open in May. Extensive grounds have been secured, and Americans teams are expected to compete with the Englioh teams. There were 15Q persons present at the meeting. Two Old Couple Perlh by Fire. DAYTON. O.. Feb. 23. At 4 o'clock this morning George Weaver and his wife, an old infirm couple, living alone on a farm seven miles west of here, near Trotwood, were burned to death In their dwelling. Neighbors hastened to the spot but the flames were so fierce as to prevent all hope of rescue. HADDAM, Conn.. Feb. 27. Thomas Cavanaugh and wife, both about sixty years old, were burned to death in their farm home, near here, yesterday. A Gad Truct. Detroit Free Press. Husband (reading the paper) I notice that Chicago is to have a gas trust. Wife (sighing) I wonder why we can't have something like that here? Husband (surprised) Why? Wlfe Because we have to pay cash every month, and even then it is extra if we don't pay promptly. ' Xot Acquainted. Detroit Tribune. The first ex bin passenger with dancing blue eyes accosted the officer on the bridge. "Why." she asked "doesn't the vessel hug the shore?" "Because," replied tbe raariner, in a hollow voice, "it is a strange coast." Plainly, hugging would be Improper under the circumstances, "'

Highest of all in Leavening Power. -Latest U.S. Gov't Report

n II THE NICHOLSON BILL SOME OF THE ALLEGED DEFECTS OF A MLCH-DISCVSSED MEASCRE. Claim that it DiMcrimfnaicM Againxt the Licensed Denier and Licenses Drusr Store Unhampered. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: The Nicholson bill in its present form ought not to become a law. If enacted at all, it should be very materially amended. While the bill in its present form places many onerous restrictions upon the sale of liquor by licensed dealers, or 'at least attempts to do so, the provisions applying to the keeper of a quart shop, or the drug store keeper who does a saloon trade without taking out a license, amount to practically nothing. The bill might, well be entitled "A bill for an act to encourage drug store drinking, and the keeping of quart shops." There are several errors in the grammatical ' construction of the act, one of which, in the first section, is the use of the singular pronoun "he" with the plural antecedent "all persons." But. mere errors In grammer count but little as against the substance of the act. ;The substantial restrictions upon the sale of liquor contained in the second, third and fourth sections of the bill as finally amended in committee of the whole in , the House apply only to persons holding licenses issued under the law of the State of Indiana, and to rooms in which such licensed persons are authorized to sell liquors. The3e actions in terms apply only to licensed dealers, and there is no provision of the bill which hv anw nnchi. construction can make them apply to the ' whTJ . 1 quart 8hPs and other places teinl? wr ma be so,d without license. mw. JJhas oeen construed by some as making sections 2, 3 and 4 arDlieahlf to ? f OPS' But 1 See HO PoSle wiy in which any court could so construe that secVnkuJ UraJfta tht,.the Provisions for revoking licenses shall apply only to pro?SS i,n2er.,the Iaws or the Stateof v?ni.H. d the. PenaUy Provided for a violation of sections 2. 3 and 4 includes ofCtehTthe revocation of the license of the person convicted, as provided in the latter clause of Section 4. Unless the person has a license from the State to.be a retailer he does not come within the provisions of either Section 2, 3 or 4. as they are drawn, or of Section 10, for that can apply only when the defendant has a license revoked. A person who has no 11?.ef,Iifofr,om he State can not violate Sec'J ?u 4' Sections 5 and 6 are the only parts of the amended bill which would apply to a person who does not . have a license from the State. They apply by ther im.gt,neraJly,t.,p'r8ons engaged in trie ie ?l liquor.. If it is necessary or desirf011111 S1ich restrictions as are contained l!?,1011,? and 4 of th!s bil1 shall be apE1 lZ holders ft retailers license, it is US .more "JCMMnr that provisions be made to restrict and discourage the sale of liquors without license. This bill, if enacted into law, would vastly encourage the sale of liquors without 11ho?!whn WU a,ttemPts to make a peVson holding a license for the sale of liquors provide for the sale of such liquors in a room wholly separate and apart from anyother business ox any kind; yet it makes no provision that the man who desires to sell by the quart shall not run his liquor business ... connection with a restaurant, or any other business which he may desire. So it is provided that no devices for amusement or music, or partitions of any kind in the rooms shall be permitted by licensed dealers; yet it permits. every kind of amusement and music and such partitions as may be desired in a place which is kept as a quart shop without State license. The object of this section is claimed to be to break up the wine rooms and assignation hells connected with many disreputable saloons; yet its whole purpose may be evaded by the keepers of places net taking out State license. And, moreover, the third section provides for the exclusion of all persons from licensed places at the hours and upon the days when it is unlawful to sell liquor, and provides for securely locking such places and prohibits the keepers from permitting persons to go in and out. Yet the keeper of a quart shop may, without violating any provision of this proposed statute, permit at all times every person who may so desire to enter his place of business, which, as we have already seen, may be subdivided into as many rooms as he may wish. There is no means provided in this bill for the punishment of the unlicensed dealer for so permitting persons to enter at times when it is unlawful to sell liquor. In addition to these discriminations against the licensed dealer and in favor of the unlicensed seller of liquors, it is provided in Section 4 that the place of business of a licensed dealer shall be situated upon the ground floor or basement of the building where the liquors are sold, and in a room fronting the street or highway upon which the building is situated, and that the room shall be so arranged, either with window or glass door, - as that the whole of said room may be in view from the street or highway, and that no blinds, screens or obstructions to the vle shall be arranged or placed so as to prevent the entire view of such room from the street or highway upon which the same is situated during the davs and hours when, the sales of such far as this proposed law is concerned, it is perfectly lawful and legitimate for a seller by the quart to locate his salesroom in "any story of a building which he may see fit, from the ground up, or to sell on the roof. He may locate his place of business upon a back alley, and have screens and blinds arranged at all days and hours, whether liquor may be legally sold or not, and no provision of this proposed act cp-n possibly be construed as affecting him. He has no license to be revoked, and the material provisions of this bill, as I have already said, contained in Sections 2, 3 and 4, apply only to persons having license to sell liquor at retail. , ? It is undoubtedly true, as every one knows who has had experience as prosecuting attorney or deputy prosecuting attorney, that there are provisions of the present law upon the subject of selling intoxicating liquors which cannot well be enforced. But, from my experience in attempting to enforce the . liquor law while deputy prosecuting attorney, and from observations at other times, I am greatly of the opinion that there is much more need of more stringent laws to suppress Illegal sales of liquors In quart shops and drug stores than there is of more stringent regulations upon the sale of liquor by licensed dealers. In a great many places the drug stores get the cream of the trade which legitimately belongs to the saloons, and the Nicholson bill as finally amended in the House does not attempt in any way to reach the drug stora keepers who steal the trade belonging to the saloon keepers. As already pointed out, the bill Is not so framed as to restrict the sales of liquors in quart shops, but on the contrary is so framed as to encourage every saloon keeper to avoid taking out license. It is notorious that nearly every man who runs a quart shop (so called) does a retail liquor business in violation of the law. but the difficulties . of detecting offenders are so great undr the present statutes that convictions of violating the law are few and far between. This bl'.l offers no relief where assistance Is most needed. It will do nothing to aid prosecutors In detecting violations of the laws by the keepers of quart sheps. but on the contrary. - it will greatly encourage the violations of law by placing onerous restrictions upon the licensed dealer which do not urply In any way to the unlicensed dealer. This bill. If It becomes a law, will decrease the revenues of the cities and counties of the State deprived from liquor licenses and encourage the violation of the liquor laws upon the part of the keepers of the quart shops, assignation houses and other disreputable places, which do not take out any State or city license for the sale of liquors. It will drive the liquor trade from the licensed to the unlicensed dealers. We have had some experience here with, quart shop dealer within the last few years. Several retail dealers In liquors have been refuse! license by the County t-ommlssion-ers and have continued to do business as quart shp keepers, apparently selling as much liquor as they ever did. If they violate the statutes they have been so sly about it that the officer. have not been eble to secure sufficient evidence to convict, except in the case of one 'man who f -leaded guilty. They have not been serlousy disturbed by the policemen of the present reform city administration. Our city sore.n ordinance discriminates, like the Nicholson bill, against licensed dealers, compellius

If a man goes in and getB a drink, the police have no legal way to detect it. This Nicholson bill is devoid cf a single provision making it easier to enforce the law against quart shops. As applicable to retailers only, the bill is awkwardly drawn and the meaning of many of its provisions ambiguons and obscure. The poor prosecutor who attempts to frame an indictment under these provisions will have an exceedingly difficult undertaking. Its phraseology ought to be revised so as to eliminate its crudities and ambiguities, even if it is to apply to retailers alone. I have taken so much of your space that I must refrain from pointing out these o'ty Jections to the technical construction of the bill.

Ind.. Feb. 23. THE PACE THAT KILLS. The Disgrace Prince Henry llrlnga v on the Honse of Orleans. ilarquise De Fontenoy. For some reason or other possibly be cause their father married his first cousin the children of that popular Due de Ohartres, who served under General McClellau in the late civil war in this country, have all developed a strain of marked eccentricity, not to call it by a stronger name. Eachone of them has been a source of much trouble to the parents, commencing with Princess Marie, who married Prince Waldemar of Denmark; Princess Marguerite, who was jilted by the Duke of Orleans, and now Prince Henry, v . , The latter has. at the request of his father, been subjected by the French tribunals to that exceedingly disagreeable pro-1 cess known as a "conseille Judlcialre." The Prince has been traveling for some months in Madagascar and Cochin China. His father had had him summoned to appear before the Judges before his departure, but he left France without obeying the writ. It is because he is now on his way home with the body of his companion, the Comte de Grandma ison. who died so suddenly at Hong Kong the other day. that the Due de Chartres has taken the step of having him pronounced legally incompetent of managing his own affairs prior to hia return. v Prince Henry, having been informed of this, has announced by cable his determination of contesting the decree on reaching France, when we shall be treated to the spectacle of a prince of the royal house of France suing his father in the same manner as if he were an ordinary unfiilial cit-. Izen. ? The Due de Chartres had no alternative but to adopt this somewhat severe and certainly unpleasant measure with regard to his son Henry, who Is not only a spendthrift, but passionately fond of gambling In stnck'a n nr? rtn tha turf anA .truAla tl., .-ithe card table. He is likewise very impressionable and easily led into extravagances, pecuniary and moral, by any unscrupulous woman who can get him in her toils.. On more than one occasion the Due de Chartres, who is himself far from rich, has been obliged to appeal to Baron Hirsch for assistance to help his son out of the snares of money lenders and usurers. At one time the young man would have been uncompromisingly dishonored and branded as a welsher had not the Baron come forward ac the last moment with the necessary funds. It was after- this particular affair that Prince Henry left on his voyae of explora-, tion of Asia. He had hardly taken his departure from Paris, followed by the blessings .and good wishes of his relatives, -when his father discovered to his horror that a beautiful but declassee great Jady, who had been one of the principal causes of his son's ruin, had followed the Prince in the hope of plucking him still further. The Due lost no time and hastened to Cairo by the next steamer. Upon his totally unexpected arrival a stormy scene took place at Shepherd's Hotel in the Egyptian capital between him, his son and the iatter's fair friend, which resulted in a compromise of a financial nature between the father and the woman, who returned to Paris,, while Prince Henry continued lis travels. - When Prince Henry returned from his Asiatic trip he resumed his former relations with the beautiful countess, greatly to . the distress of his parents and of his uncle, the .- Due d'Aumale, who had at one moment intendedto make him his heir, and it ; was his extravagance in connection with this lady that led his father to institute the legal proceedings that resulted in hastening the gay young fellow's departure for Madagascar. " ' The Due de Chartres lost a good deal of money in connection with the Union Generate Bank failure in 1882, being compelled to appeal to his elder brother, the late Comte de Paris, for assistance in order to avoid his name being compromised. - The Duke is far and away the most popular member of his house, possibly because he possesses In the smallest possmie us gree that falling inherent to the house of Orleans, and which has done so much to bring it into disfavor at home and abroad, namely, sordid avarice. The Duke spends his money liberally, is extremely hospitable and free-handed and enjoys nothing so much as keeping open house. . . , Alone of the Orleans princes, he fought In the ranks of the French army against Italy in 1859 and against Germany in 1870 on each occasion as a common soldier, having enlisted under the pseudonym of "Robert le Fort." In 1870 his gallantry on the battlefield was so great that he was not only promoted to the rank of officer, but decorated with the cross of the Legion of Honor under the name of Robert le Fort. After the re-establishment of peace and the? repeal of the decree of exile against tho members of the house of Orleans, the Duke received the command of a cavalry . regiment of chasseurs, which he held until Gen. Boulanger obtained from the Chamber a decree declaring the members of the houses that have reigned over France Incapable of serving in the army and debarred from holding commissions as officers. - He is married, as I have said above, to his cousin, a ; daughter of the Prince de Joir.vllle, who, on tho death of her deaf old father, will inherit much property, although at the present moment she has but little. Everybody is sorry for .he Duo de Chartres in his trouble with his son. all tho more as it is utterly - without precedent for a member of a royal house to b compelled to adopt such severe meamtreR with regard to a son; and It Is certainly . somewhat inconsistent with the pretensions ot the so-called Maison de France thai" one of its princes should Invoke the a?Mstancj of the law of that republic, whMi he professes to ignore, in order to help bims to manage the affairs of his family. , Mrntlc Carried ly AVI rem. . .
