Inquiry to the, Indiana wheat crop from the recent chant;;? in temperature has been the topic of much conversation during the last two days. That the fear of damage to the grain hi: not b-er Ill-founded was admitted yesterday by Mr. Vappnhans. of the weather bi'reau. Mr. Vappnhans says th recent . severe change to cold weathT will injure wheat merely because there Is no snow on the ground to afford protection. The recent rains have p rmatei the ground to an unusual extent and the freeze for this reason will gj much deeper. However, he thinks the damage will not be great.' for ihe reason that wheat la dormant through the winter and recovers afterwards.

A CENTENNIAL MUSEUM

THE INDIA W COMMISSION RETORTS AM) ADJOIRNS SIXE DIE. Rerommendn n Itiilldlnfc In Iillnd Any I n iu Site A Ttventy -Cent Tax Levy for Five Yettr. The Indiana Centennial Commission, as constituted by the last Legislature, has gone out of existence, and the last official act of the body was consummated yesterday, when President Ell Lilly delivered to Governor Matthews the final report of the commission, to be transmitted to the Legislature. The report recommends that the Institute for the Blind be removed from Its present location, which has long been contemplated, and that the two blocks of State land occupied by it le used for the erection of a permanent building, which shall be a museum of the arts and industries and natural resources of the State. The report enumerates a list of divisions Into which this exhibit should be divided, making It show all the natural resources of the State, as well as the progress in the arts, science and manufactures in the State since Its organization as a Territory. It further recommends that the State, set aslie from the tax receipts 2 cents on each SluO for five years, which would yield about $1.0r).000. to be devoted to the aid of a centennial exiositlon to be held In this city, probably at the State fair grounds, beginning May 7, 1000. the centennial anniversary of the date of the signing by the President of the law creating Indiana Territory, and extending six months. This part of tho recommendation is made with the proviso that it shall not become operative until Indianapolis and Marion county shall have appropriated $.".0,000 for the same purpose. It is also recommended that the Legislature pass suitable laws making it possible for cities and counties of the State to appropriate money to make an exhibit at the exposition. The report was handed to the Governor yesterday, accompanied by the following letter from President Lilly: "In accordance with the directions cf the Indiana Centennial Commission, which adjourned sine die Dec. 29. 1MJ. I have the honor herewith to transmit the report required of It by concurrent resolution No. 21 of the General Assembly of the same to be submitted to the General Assembly now about to convene." The report In full follows: To the Senate and tho House of Representatives of the General Assembly of the State of Indana The last General Assembly of the State of Indiana, by a unanimous vote, passed the following concurrent resolution (No. 21): "Whereas, the Fourth of July In the year 1900 will be the one-hundredth anniversary of the establishment of the government of the Territory of Indiana: anrt, "Whereas, it is deemed htting that such anniversary should be adequately celebrated by a State exposition, which would exhibit the century of development In Indiana as a Territory and State; therefore, be it "Resolved. By the Senate of Indiana of tho General Assembly, tne House of Representatives concurring, that within ninety days from the adjournment of this session of the General Assembly, the Governor shall appoint a commission of thirty members, two from each congressional district and four from the State at large, which shall, after full investigation and consideration, report to the next session of the General Assembly its recommendations for the proper realization of tne project and that said commission shall serve without pay," and in compliance with said resolu? tlon the Governor appointed commissioners as follows: FOR TIIK STATE AT LARGE.

The commission was assembled on Sept. 26. 1895. and organized bv tho election of Eli Lilly president and the appointment of Myron D. King secretary. The commission acting under said resolutions has given full Investigation and consideration of the matter so submitted to it and now has the honor to submit recommendations for the proper realization of the project. A MAGNIFICENT MUSEUM. Wo recommend that there be constructed, on lines of architectural beauty and grandeur, of Indiana stone, glass. Iron and other materials, a magnificent fire-proof building suitably divided into departments for tho purpose of containing a memorial museum, devoted to history, tne sciences, industrial arts and tine arts, a feature of said building to be a great auditorium capable of accommodating the largest state and national assemblages. The scope of such a museum Is suggested by the following, intended to demonstrate that an exhibit of this character would be of permanent and Inestimable value, not only to our own State, but to the world, representing as it must our origin and progress. Historical Department Antiquities Mound builders. Indians, relics, primitive implements, articles of household furniture, etc.. etc., documents, historic manuscripts, maps, letters, records, looks. etc.. etc., inventions and discoveries, war museum. Scientific Department Paleontological. geological, mineraloglcal, biological, plants, animals. Other departments would represent Industrial arts and line arts, and a part of the building would be set aside for assemblages. VIEW IN DETAIL. Historical Department. In the subdepartment of antiquities there should bo as complete a collection as possible of the relics left by the mound builders and the Indians. The value of such a collection to the historian and the anthropologist, the benefit of whose labors we all reap, is beyond question, to say nothing of its value to every student. In the subdepartment of relics there should be collected articles of every character representing the life of our curly settlers, and especially those which belonged to our historical personages, in the subdepartment of documents there should be original treaties, maps, letters, records, books and all first hand sources of information of a- documentary character. In the subdepartment of invention and discovery there should be an exhibit of all the products of our genius in he way of patented articles and discoveries in every Held of investigation. In the war museum there should be such an array of war relics, war records, including a complete history of every Indiana regiment and battery, etc., as would reflect credit on our valor and patriotism. Scientific Department. There could le no better epportunlty for Indiana to contribute her data of Important consideration in all scientific generalization. The ancient life of the earth as read In our fossidferous deposits is a most important para.nraph of creation. Hence the value of our paleontological data. Our geological data assists to an understanding of the structure and mineral constitution of the globe. For similar reason, and other.- which need no mention, our mineral resources should be familiar to all. Important also, from a scientific, as well as economic standpoint, would be a collection of carefully prepared specimens of our native animal life, as wed as the vegetation of all periods, and especially of our economic timber trees and other t'ora of the present day with something like completeness, a work which is sadly neglected. The. Immense educational value of all these scientific collections to every pupil in the schools of our State, and to every student In all parts of the world. Is so apparent as to require no elaboration. Industrial Arts Department. In this exhibit we would show the processes of manufacture In the useful arts, showing the

raw material and the successive transformations which It undergoes until It becomes the finished product. This, of course, would be limited to those industries which obtain to any extent in our own State, and would be In keeping with the industrial education now becoming a part of our educational system. Fine Arts Department. Here we should have an exhibit demonstrating our taste and imagination In the production of things beautiful paintings, sculpture, music, literature, etc., of wmch we have many monuments, which will show the world our appreciation of matters other than those of a material character, giving a glimpse of the refinement following so closely in the wake of the industrial development of a hundred years. Assemblage Department. This should provide In an ample way for the congregation of the iveople in large numbers during the centennial celebration and for future events, something in magnitude like Madison-square Garden. In New York, where the great State and national conventions may be held; also musical festivals, special agricultural, horticultural and florlcultural exhibitions, horse and cattle shows and all gatherings calculated to ennoble and build up the State. The seating caiMcity of this auditorium should not be less than 12.(X ieope. Auxiliary Buildings. Auxiliary to this central and iermanent memorial building should be constructed buildings of a temporary character, to contain during the period of the centennial exposition exhibits demonstrating our existing Industrial and educational activities. United States Government Exhibit. Congress should le meirvnlalized by the General Assembly to itss a bill authorizing a government exhibit at this exposition. Such an exhibit would celebrate in a way the one-hundrrtdth anniversary of the establishment of the seat of government at Washington, which occurred in the year lt. It is fitting this should be dono in Indiana, the stepping stone to the Western civilization in 1n), the center of population, intelligence and wealth in 1900. SITE FOR CENTENNIAL BUILDING. As the best and most available site for the proposed Indiana centennial 'memorial building, we recommend that the two squares of ground belonging to the State, containing about eight acres, now occupied by the Indiana Institute for the Education of tho Blind and by St. Clair Park, bounded by Meridian, North, Pennsylvania and St. Clair streets, in the city of Indianapolis, be dedicated to the purpose. This would require the removal of the Institute for the Blind probably to the largo grounds east of the. city now owned by the State, a movement which has long been thought desirable. Such exhibits as can be accommodated on tho above premises during the centennial should be careel for upon the grounds of the Indiana State Board of Agriculture, by an equitable arrangement by which every feature of its work should be expanded to the greatest possible extent. To provide the means to carrv out these plans we recommend that the State, without increasing the tax levy, authorize that 20 cents per annum on each S1.C00 valuation for five (5) years be set aside as a centennial fund for the purpose of constructing a memorial building herein mentioned, and for the purpose of aiding a great centennial exposition to be ht:d in Indianapolis, under such lawn as may be hereafter enacted, beginning May 7, in the year l'JCO. being just 1C0 years from the signing of the act by the President of the United States creating the Territory of Indiana, and to continue six months. The reason for this recommendation lies In the fact th.it on a basis of the present levy the indebtedness of, the State is, being paid oft at a rate that will extinguish the entire debt of the State, it is thought, within six years, and it is believed by the commission that a gremt demonstration of the State's resources at this time would fully justify a elelay. If necessary, of less than two years in the final extinguishment of the State debt. The amount sought to be realized by the proposeei special appropriation of 20 cents per annum for five years on each 11,000 of valuation Is about $l,UU0,O0. We recommend that the above sum shall not become available, nor any part thereof, until the city of Indianapolis and Marlon county, by proper enactment, shall provide for the same purpose the sum of 1230,000. authority, if necessary, for such provision to be granted by the Legislature. That cities, towns and counties be enabled by legislative act to make suitable appropriations in aid of local representation at said exposition and for such other purposes as may in the same connection be of local benefit. PLAN FOR ADMINISTRATION. We recommend that to control and direct the expenditure of State funds granted in aid of said centennial exposition and to take entire control and management there shall be appointed by the Governor, within thirty days of the taking effect of an act providing for their appointment, five commissioners from the State at large, who shall serve without pay and who shall constitute the council of administration of the Indiana centennial exposition of They shall elect their president and vice president. That said council of administration shall have full power and authority to determine the plan and scope of said exposition, subject to the conditions and limitations of the law of the State. They shall provide the plans and specifications of all buildings in which to hold said exposition and contract for the construction of the same under bids from the lowest responsible bidders. They shall have full power and authority to appoint all officers, agents, committees and employes, eleline their powers and duties and fix their, compensation, to prepare a classification of exhibits and allot space to exhibitors, to appoint all Judges and examiners in the exposition and award all premiums, medals and diplomas; to prescribe all powers and eluties of all persons.

whether employes or exhibitors, connected with such said exposition, and generally have full power and authority In controlling, managing and maintaining said exposition in conformity with the law authorizing the holding of the sam. It shall further be the duty of the council of administration to see that the centennial exposition shall be on a broatl and liberal scale comporting with the honor and dignity of the State, and that to the greatest possible extent every interest shall be displayed in a way that shall best demonstrate to our own people and to the world our progress and achievements. We recommend that there be further appointed by the said council of administration In each county auxiliary centennial boards, the members of which shall serve without pay. whoso duty it shall be to co-operate with the commissioners of the State at Iarge The county auxiliary centennial boards, in addition to representing their counties on all occasions, will directly Interest their localities In bringing forward their best products for exhibition: to arrange for a, special county day during the. exposition; to stimulate the formation of societies looking to rural, village and town improvements calculated to better the conditions of living, the planting and care of trees, fruits and flowers, the beautifying in every way of the sehoolhouse grounds, public squares and other public and private premises, streets and county lanes; by the establishment of township libraries and the production In each county of a complete count v history to be placed in the centennial exposition: by stimulating morf provident and humane management for and better care of our dependent wards In the various public asylums and homes provided for them and by Jhe general awakening and activity in every line of progress, plans for which shall be developed by the council of administration after it is understood that the cenetnnial event is to be celebrated. In closing this report we submit an exhibit marked "A." which will demonstrate to the Legislature that our investigation has extended to every county in the State" In the endeavor to find out. first, whether the people of the State desire to celebrate this great historical event In 1900: second. If so. in what manner do they desire to celebrate it? The expression, which Includes nearly two thousand letters from citizens representing everv profession.il and industrial line. Is overwhelmingly In favor of the State holding a great centennial exjmsltion in lf0, and that plans for the same should be eletermined by the present session of the Legislature. An alphabetical list of the names of correspondents in each county is given, dividtd into three classes, viz.. first, strongly favorable; second, doubtful; third. opiosed. Marion county is not considered in this connection. This correspondence, as well as preliminary sketches for building plans by which the viws of the commission may be b-tter understood, is at the disposal of the Legislature. It being designated In the resolution creating the commission that its members should serve without pay. it Is desired further to say that the service has been cheerfully rendered and that there will b no bills presented to the State for incidental exiK-nses eonnee-tcd with the work. Co in in ere in I Clnh .Meeting-. The Commercial Club of Indianapolis held Its regular monthly meeting yesterday afternoon In the assembly room of the Commercial Club building. There was only a small attendance, nothing of importance being before the club. After the regular onlr of routine business the final report of Mr. Finch's Insurance committee was listened to. The report was favorable to the insurance bill prepared by Mr. Finch and discussed at the 'recent session of the Indiana State Roard of Commerce, only some minor chang' having iH'C-n suggested. The club adcptftl the report and ordered it to be printed and

presented to the Legislature in order that it may have all the effect possible In securing the passage of the ou. PERSONAL AND SOCIETY. Mrs. A. L. Varney will not observe her day at home this week.

The second play of the Dramatic Club for the season was given hist evening before a large and fashionable audience of members and out-of-town guests at the Propylaeum. The play selected was "Mr. Brown's Dinner Party," a comedy in two acts by Fanny Locke Mackenzie. The committee In charge, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Rice Maxwell, Mr. jand Mrs. Arthur Duell Gates, Miss Frances Atkins and Mr. Lynn B. Martlndale, not only selected a play that was enjoyable, but put It on the stage in good style, with an excellent caste throughout. As the play goes. Mr. John Remington (Gori'.on Varney). is in love with Eleanor Armstrong, of the Vew York Sun (Mrs. H. H. Rowland), and linels that she is going to sail on the Majestic for Europe, and he at once determines to go on the same steamer. He suddenly remembers that he has invited friends to dinner and asks Wllloughsby Brown, the best-natured fellow in the world (William C. Bobbs), to take the dinner party off his hands. This Brown will do. In the meantime Miss Armstrong is given an assignment by her paper to ascertain the way housewives treat their maids, and she goes aa a .maid to Mrs. Brown (Miss Mary E. Colgan.) Tom Rodney, of the Philadelphia Times (Arba T. Perry), is given a similar assignment and goes as servant to Mr. Brown. Remington at the last moment finds that his sweetheart Is not going to Europe, remains at home and goes to the dinner party. From this situation many bright and laughable scenes were brought out. with the result that Ellen, the name assumed by Mrs. Rowland, and Stubbs. the name taken by Mr. Perry, become the lovers in the play. Remington meets an old flame, Alecia Keith (Miss Augusta Lyon), and all e nds well. The stage setting was a drawing room In Mr. Remington's flat, very prettily arranged, and a feature of the entertainment was the song and dance given by Ellen (Mrs. Rowland) and Tim Casey, the Iceman (E. R. Martindale, jr.) They were encored heartily. The entire cast was: John Remington (with money to burn), Mr. Gorelon Varney. ' Stubbs (Tom Rodney, of the Philadelphia Times). Mr. Arba T. Perry. Willoughsby Brown (the best-natured fellow In the world). Mr. William C. Bobbs. Tim Casey (the iceman), Mr. E. B. Martlndale. jr. Plimton Jones (always tired), Mr. Joseph K. Sharpe. jr. James Duncan (a marrying man), Mr. Hewitt H. Rowland. Dean Curtis (Dean of Axminster. lecturing in America). Mr. Rolert Martlndale. Harbury Curtis (his brother), Mr. Laz Noble. Tom Maxwell. Mr. Page Chapman. Mr. Harry Waller (on stock exchange), Mr. Maxwell. Ellen (Eleanor Armstrong, of the NewYork Sun). Mrs. Hewitt H. Rowland. Agnes Rrown (a disappointed woman), Miss Mary E. Colgan. Alicia Keith (who knows everybody), Mi?s Augusta Lyem. Elsie Maxwell (a debutante). Miss Louise Erwin. Mrs. Plimton 'Jones (a type), Mrs. Arba T. Perry. Mrs. Harry Waller (a very new bride). Mrs. Augustus Coburn. Mrs. Rixby (a widow). Mrs. Joseph K. Sharpe, jr. The costuming for the dinner party was very handsome and throughout the play, which in itself is very bright and clever, there were enough changes by the different members to make the matter of dress one of decided interest. After the play the committee and cast were heartily congratulated. The dance and supper followed.

HENRY H. HUTCHINS DEAD. Ftr Mnnj Yenm He Wn n Well. Known Shoe Merchant. Henry H. Hutchins, who was for many years a well-known shoe merchant of this city, died at his home, 574 Kast Market street, yesterday afternoon, at 2 o'clock. Heart failure was the immediate cause of his death, though he had been In failing health for years. Mr. Hutchins was born In Donelsonvllle, Conn., in lS2t, and came to Indianapolis in 1ST2 and engaged In business. He was actively engaged during more than a quarter of a century, retiring more than ten years ago on account of his health. Since then he spent most of his time at home, mingling little with his fellow-men. though he had a host of friends. He loaves a wife and one daughter, Mrs. Charles J. Moore, of Dayton. The funeral is in charge of Fianner & Ruchannan. Senton, tlie Hatter, Sells Dunlap's Celebrated Hats, and all the other new styles, at 27 North Pennsylvania street. Knickerbocker Hnl!. To the patrons and friends of Knickerbacker Hall: The citizens of Indianapolis who have given their generous sympathy and support in years past to this important school are entitled to know at the earliest possible moment what its future administration is to be. I take this lirst opportunity to announce the determination of the trustees to muke this school all it can be desired by tho?e who intrust their daughters to us to be educated. The serious ill health of Mrs. McGuffey, compelling her retirement from the position of principal, has been a great sorrow as well as a great embarrassment to the board of trustees. We are still determined to put the school where It ought to be in the front rank among such Institui.otm. Temporarily the school is in the care of its faithful and efficient teachers. The trustees have just completed arrangements by which on the 1st of February the school will pass into the management permanently of two cultivated ladies of large and successful experience in this line of work. They are Miss Mary Helen Yerkes and her sister. Miss Susan Hill Yerkes. both at present instructors in Kemper Hall. Kenosha. Is. Miss Helen Yeikes has been connected with that pplendld school for thirteen years, during nine of v.-hich she has been Its efficient vice principal. This should be sufficient commendation to insure her an enthusiastic reception to the work she has consentt'd to undertake here. Miss Susan Yerkes is a woman of line intellectual equipment of most varied character. She has achieved distinction for herself in Eastern schools. notably Staten Island Academy, where for eleven years as teacher of history, literature. Iitin and Greek and as librarian of the Arthur Winter Memorial Libra rv she won merited commendation.
