The Juckllns." as given by Stuart Robson and his company last night at the Grand, scored a complete success with an audience as appreciative and sympathetic as ever gathered to enjoy a performance given by this favorite comedian. The play la a dramatization of Opie Beid's greatest novel and 13 essentially a drama of love, roosters and "wallerin." It was something of a revelation to those who are familiar with the work of Mr. Robson to seo him in the role of the gentle tempered, simpleminded North Carolina farmer, with his rustic garments and fringe of scraggy beard. Hut 31 r. Robson makes the play and most of those who saw him last night agree In the opinion that it Is one of the best things ho has ever done. As Lemuel Jucklln he is at once a most humorous and most pathetic character. The two qualities are so interwoven that it is difficult to separate them. One finds himself laughing while the tear is yet on his cheek and the lump in his throat Is easily gulped down in the merriment that follows immediately after every dramatic situation. No more pathetic and at the same time no more really laughable scene could be well Imagined than in the closing one of the third act when, with the audience almost in tears at the sight of mother and daughter praying for their boy, who is in jail for the supposed murder of his rival. Lemuel, always loyal to his roosters in happiness or in distress, brings in the two stricken birds, cold in death after their battle "to a finish." and lays them, slowly and tearfully, on the hearth rug. The success of the play lies in its wholesome, simple humor, for where strong dramatic effect was attempted the result was generally rather flat. The denouement is weak in comparison with previous effects nnd will no doubt be worked up better after the actors have got settle! in their parts. This is the second performance of the. new play nnd It may stand several tdght ihanses. 31 r. Itobson's support was only fair. Both Mrs. Robson, as Millie Bundsford. and Kathryn Osterman. as Guinea Jucklln. are disappointing simply because the roles are so unlike what has always been exiK-cted of them. Mrs. Robson could not be serious If she tried and seriousness Is required In "The Juckllns." Hera is a sparkling, merry nature, but that is not the son of girl the author made -of Millie. I.undsford. Mrn. Charles is satisfactory in the motherly role of Mrs. Jucklln. Newton Chlsnell. as Sheriff Jim Sharp, whose "blood was always circulating " scored a success, and Charles Chartres, la his character of Harry Harper, the Northerner, whose eyes were always open for "a piece of calico." was not far behind him. Lenjamin Howard gave a .OIlcr,tont t0 A,f Jucklln and was weH liked. The entire company Joined in giving a faithful picture of the scenes taken from Hold's story of unique characters in "The Juckllns" and the play promises to be a winner for Stuart Robson. It will be repeated to-n!irht and at to-morrow's matinee. "Mrs. Ponderbury's Past" being the Saturday night bill. 0 KnslUhW-Tlie Aancy Hank."

Snana'N Concert ToOlorrow Mght. Sau.a,'s jrc5rarr.me to-morrow nlsht will include numbers ref-resentlnir both the clasFlcal and the popular schols of composition, and as much attention is given to the playing of the lightest selection as is bestowed on the- works of Wagner and Litfzt. This Is one of the secrets of the success of the organization under this magnetic leadr. Kvery number of every programme is played for its full effect, and the full effe-t cf the band arrangement by Sou?a of almost any kind of a composition means something striking, something bound to cateh the ear of th auditor whose knowleilffe of music is limited to eonsclousnes that melody pleases him and something that compels the attention of the educated musician. It is spectacular music that the band makes, and that is on reason why crowds go to the concerts, but the spectacular effect is not produced In a way to offend the genuine musician. It Is the custom to condemn as devoid of true merit anything mat Is indorsed by all classes of people, but Soua is artiftic and popular at the fame time. The advance sale Indicates that Tomllnson Hall, big as It K will be well filled to-morrow night. ThN will te Smsa's only appearance In Indianapolis this season. It has been more than a year since he and hi band were here. His soloists this season are Elizabeth Northrop, soprano; Martini Johntone. violinist; Franz Hell, fluegelhom. and Arthur Pryor, trombone. The pre gramme will be published to-morrow morning. Frederick Bond, who plays the part of the wealthy ol 1 retited pork packer in "My Friend from India." is something of a wag and his friends are always on the lookout for practical Jokes. When Mr. Bend had his stock company at Washington last summer he had for a backer a gentleman by the name of Mitchell, a gentleman from Virginia, whose childlike ignorance of all that pertains to the stage made him the butt of many of Bond's rleasantries. The day before the company opened Bond, in a great state of excitement, rufhed from rehearsal to the manager's onVe and demanded the key of the curtain. claiming that the stage manager sail the regular houye key was lc-st. "Harry u mut get one. you know. I car't ring up without the key to the curtain." Mr. BoMey. taking In th situation at once, begin to make some excuse, when Mitchell, anxious to help, spoke up and tald: "lil go and get on made." and he rushed out into the boiling heat of a July day. In about two hours he returned, hot and tired, with tre information that not a locksmith in town coud make a key to the curtain, which is not to be wondered at. when it is known that a key to the curtain is a theatrical stock joke of venerable rge. When "Saved from the Sea" comes to the Park Monday its patrons will see one of the best melodramas that has ever been produced at that theater. It has now enjoyed a sixteen months run at the Princess Theater, London, and in the cities in which It has been seen this season in this country it has attracted much attention. The drama atounds In realism, the story of which Is told in a very stropg, interesting manner, while the mechanical effects include an explosion at t-ea. ?. rescue in midoeean, a collapse of an overhanging bridge and a delay at the gallowH that is most thrilling. The Octoroons conclude their engagement to-day and to-morrow at the Park. Their h'.U is a lively and attractive one. Delft Souvenir Matinee. The Delft matinee which concludes "The Nancy Hanks" engagement at English's tomorrow afternoon will delight th feminine heart. These dainty little souvenirs ecme from New York and are to be presented to all the ladles on the lower floor. It has been some time sirce a souvenir performance was gtven. the last fcelng the Krownies) a year ago. This matinee to-morrow Is looked forward to with interest and curiosity. Each lady will receive a Ielft cup and saucer as sh comes In that Is, every one downstairs. The matinee is at popular prices. Kmplre Colored Kxtravugnnzn. The Colored Extravaganza Company, a combination of local colored talent, opened at the Empire in Its initial performance yesterday afternoon. There Is some pretty fair talent In the company and after the rough edges have worn off It ought to make a reasonable success. "Tho Twentieth Century Club." a ' burlesque," opened the exhibition and gave chance to some pretty fair work In colored style. The ol!o Includes nine numbers, ranging from quartet dr.ging to the Inevitable female baritone. To the Empire belongs the glory of introducing a long list of vaudeville specialists who never had aneared In Indianapolis betore. and to its credit as well as nerve must now be added the innovation of daring to announce an Initial performance of purely local talent. Indianapolis has been the "d'.g" on which a number of entertainments have been tried at various theaters here, but the preliminary announcements have usually conveyed tho Impression that the company billed was in the riotous midst of a Ions and prosperous tour. The usual matinees will be given to-day and to-morrow. Irwin Brothers' Burlescjuers will follow Monday, to remain a week. Praise for Souma'a Floefirelliorn Soloist Special to the Indlanipolls Jourral. SHELBY VI LLE, Ind.. Jan. 2. The announcement of Franz Hell's abearance with Sousa's band Saturday night comes with too much modesty In these days when artists are not prone to hide from the publlj their charms. His instrument, the fluegelhorn. is a cavalry trumpet with valves almost like those of a cornet. It is the contralto among brass instruments and Is singularly well adapted to ballads. During the midwinter fair In San Francisco three years ag It was my pleasure to listen often to the bugle notes pounded by this great artist. In bis palmy days. Jules Levy did not so charm me. Hell is master of the pathetic In melody. His chef d'oeuvre (which he will doubtless play Saturday night) Is the (iermsn ballad. " Verlegenhelt." beginning: "Ich moechte dlr wohl etwas sagen" pn.hably the finest of all German love songs. Recall Anna Louiso Cary. of twenty yee.rs ago. and you will have a good eoriception of the sweet pathos with which Mr. Hell rlaya. He will exhlt.lt no fireworks; nothing but pure melody, and until ft? has heard Franz Hell one cannot know the possibilities on unwieldy brass. L. Notes of the Stage. Milton and ixrtly Nobles will be seen In vaudeville next week at Proctor's Pleasure Palace In Mr. Nobles's farce, "Bilgevllle Junction." A dramatization of John Strange Winter's novel, "The Truth Tellers." by Miss Martha Morton, will be produced both In America and England by Mr. Charles Frohman early next season. "The Mousetrap." a comedietta, by Mrs. Bur ton X. Harrison, wilt be produced at Keith's New York house on Monday next, when Eva Mountford and Elmer iJrandin will make their debuts In vaudeville. Mis. LI! la Vane, who retired from the stage three seasons ago, when she married Mr. George In a new production of "My Friend from, India," at Hoyt's Theater, playing the leading female rele. rinero's play, "The Magistrate," is to be revived at Daly's Theater next Monday night. It was flr?t produced in the s.i ne house In October, 1$$.",, with James Lewis, Charles Fisher, John Drew, Otis Skinner. Miss Ada Behan, Miss Virginia Dreher. Miss IMlth Kingdon (now Mrs. George Gouldi nd Mis May Irwin In the cast. Miss Ilehan is the only member of the original company who will be seen In the revival. E. J. Henley, whoso arrest on a silly charge prevented Margaret Mather's opening perform ance of "Cjmbcllne" in New- York Monday night, was released the next day and Mlrs Mather's return to the stage was properly solemnized on Tuesday night at Wallack's. The production Is conceded to be the finest and most pictorial "i'ymbellne" ever put on in New York. Mather's iTiogene is said to show the result of careful study of the .hskspearean character, hut she is nJt overly praised, .lames Hanehen savs: "Ma garet Mather returns to us fuller in person, and with the same obstinate burr in her speech. Her diction is not musical or varied, and her acting lacks delicacy, spirit and real temperament. Her nest scene was at the supposed death of her lord I'osihemoiis. There she simulated grief and despair creditably, but at no time did she give the Illusion we longed for the illusion created by lovely Adelaide Neilsoc. by p.etlc Helena Mcijcttka. There was intelligence, no buoyancy and little charm. In a word. Margaret Mather is still Margaret Mather, but grown older, he costumed richly, indeed th entire production is ccstly, and well worth seeing." Hillary Bell was disappointed and shocked at Frances Hodgson Burnett's frowsy appearance when -he came out to acknowledge her gratitude to the audience a: "The First Gentleman of Europe" play the other right, and he took eare to say that authors ought to take pains to I.k as well as actors on such occasions. Bell hays: "The contrast between the romantic st.ry Invt n ted by the author and the author himself i frequently puzzling. On one occasion our public ir.lled Henry Arthur Jones in tiont vt the curtain, ant wt were .urprised to see a litll. bald. bcardM mar., wholly cuinmciplace. yet t? creator of certain of the :nost pathetic r.d Interesting characters of the .tvlern drama.

Editha's Burglar and Littl Lord Fauntleroy.' A WORKHOUSE UNIFORM. Proposed to Adopt One for the Ofllcers and 1'niployen. Within a short time there will probably be a n?'v system inaugurated at the workhouse by which strangers will know with whom they are talking when visiting the place. At the suggestion of County Commissioner McGregor, the superintendent has been consulted ard it has been practically decided to place all employes In uniform. The styles of uniform have not yet been determined, but they will be such as to Indicate the position of the wearer. This matter will likely be acted upon by the County Commissioners in a short time. Superintendent M-tSroarty has already made one change that ho finds to be of value. All trustie3 have been clothed in neat suits of jean with a green "T" on the arm. This does not make them very conspicuous as prisoners, yet the "T" Is sulhcient to identify them. They are given more liberty than heretofore, and the trust has not been violated.

THE MURDERER AT LARGE

PHILLIPS AND HARVEY ARRAIGNED AS ACCESSORIES. Preliminary Trial f Thcue 3Ien In the Redmond Ca. Postponed Third Man a Stranger Here. Edwarti Phillips and Carl Harvey were arraigned in Police Court yesterday and charged with attempted robbery and accessory to murder. Henry Spaan was there to take care of the cases against Phillips, but Harvey had no attorney. The men were charged Jointly, in separate affidavits, with tho two offenses. The whole matter was postponed until next Monday morning at tho request of. the prosecution. Both the prisoners were tsent to jail, no mention being made of a bond. . Accessory to the murder after the deed Is a new charge to many people and it caused some comment yesterday after the' men were arraigned. The affidavit was made by Detective TJcGuff and charges that tho two men did, feloniously, willfully, maliciously and purposely aid and abet the killing of one Frank Redmond, after one whoso name Is to this affiant unknown, did, then and there, feloniously, unlawfully, maliciously and purposely kill said Redmond by discharging, then and there, a deadly weapon, to wit a revolver, at and against the body of said Redmond, lntllcting injuries resulting In the death of said Redmond, did then conceal, harbor and procure tho escape of said person, whose name la to afliiant unknown, out of the city." An attorney to whom the affidavit was shown yesterday said: "It Is not necessary in this case to make these men accessories after the fact. If they are guilty at all they are guilty of accessories before tho deed in tho eyes of the law and under the statutes. The statutes know of no less an oftense than murder in a case where a robber kills while engaged in his nefarious calling or attempting to escape after committing or attempting to commit robbery. No burglar ever deliberately plans to commit muider, but frequently he does murder to escape being killed himself or to avoid being taken. It Is always murder, and if there are three p-ersons engaged in a robbery, and one of them finds It necessary to kill a man to avoid arrest, tho others are equally guilty as he. The law presumes in such cases that it was a willful and intentional and premeditated murder, and the premeditation can be presumed and is presumed on tho part of the robbers who did not actually commit tne muruer. In this case, however. It may be that the police fear they cannot convict Phillips and Harvey of having part in tho attempted robbery, but feel conlident of being able to show that they did aid one or tne rouoers and the one who committed the murder to escape. In that case a charge of accessory after the fact would hold. Superintendent Colbert has not yet given up hope of capturing the murderer of Redmond. He believes the man is a friend of Harvey's, probably made at Cincinnati, or perhaps in the Ohio Penitentiary. He thinks the fellow has 'either gone to Cincinnati or Is in hiding somewhere between Columbus and Cincinnati. If the latter supposition is the correct one, the man must come out of hiding soon, for his means are limited and he will have to get out -and hustle for a livelihood. If he has gone to Cincinnati the police of that city will probably stumble upon him. There are several thing which indicate that the third man was a stranger in the city. It has now been two days since it became known that Phillips and Harvey were charged with being accomplices of the murderer, nnd if the charge be true it is strange that some one had not seen Phillips or Harvey about the streets with the third man, if he had been a citizen of Indianapolis. Men to plan robbery generally associate together, and they would have been seen by somebody who knew them. Both Phillips and Harvey are well known about the city, yet no one ha come forward with information concerning a third man seen in company with them. Another indication is the fact that the murderer went into a house to Inquire for a store where he could purchase a hat. If he had been acquainted in. the city he would not have found. iteVrary to inquire for a store. Still another indication is the haste with which he left the city. If he had lived here he could have lost nlmself In the regular course of every-day life, but being a stranger be realized that he would be noticed, and might be arrested from description. Superintendent Colbert yesterday received a telegram stating that a man answering the description of the murderer was under arrest at Harrodsburg, Ky. The message did not come from Harrodsburg. and the superintendent' did not take any stock in the story, but he wired the chief of police at that place and learned that no such a man was under arrest there. Mr. Colbert said the llrst telegram was sent him in good faiths find went to show the interest which is being taken outside Indianapolis in the arrest of the murderer. As there was nothing in the matter, however, he declined to give the name of the sender of the message. Yesterday he obtained possession of a letter written by Harvey while he was confined In the penitentiary at Columbus. O. He went by the name of Charley Spears there, and signed his name that way, but In a postscript cautioned the receiver of the letter to address him as Spears. The postscript was signed "Carl." The letter was addressed to Delia Spears. Vincennes, and it indicated that the writer and the person to whom the letter was addressed were brother and sister. Delia Spears is now in this city, an inmate of Bertha Bruner's resort. A dispatch from Franklin. Ind.. says that Harvey at 0110 tlmo lived there. His record is not remembered as a favorablo one. SOCIAL TURNVEREIN MASQUE. A Ilevel In Hell" One of the I'nleiue Feature. The Soclaler Turnvereln gave Its annual mask ball at the German House last night. There was a good attendance, but not fo large as Is usual on this occasion. The cold weather probably kept a few away and a number of prominent persons In the society were reported absent on account of Illness. There were about one hut.dred couples In the grand march when it began at 9 o'clock. The march was the feature of the ball. The maskers carried Chinese lanterns and lighted Chinese lanterns hung beneath the gallery around tho hall.-AH the other lights in tho ballroom were extinguished. The effect was very pretty. Round the room the dancers tripped to the 'soft music while the spectators looked on from above and enjoyed the pleasing figures which the director of the march. Mr. Otto Miller, made the marchers describe upon the polished floor. Mr. Miller was dressed in the costume of El Capitan, as portrayed by De Wolf Hopper in the ojera by that name. His aids. Otto Stechhan. Fred Bals, William Kleine and William Dickman. also represented characters from the opera. There was a pleasant surprise awaiting the assembled people after the grand march was over. Instead of the orchestra starting up the usual waltz or. quadrille music and the marchers falling to dancing, there was a change. Tie curtain which had hitherto concealed tho stage was rolled up and there was disclosed to view a representation of hell, after the Idea of some of the members of the Soclaler Turnvereln. There was a rocky cavern, at the farther end of which a huge sulphurous tire seemed to burn. From a crevice high up in the rocks there began dropping a number of persons costumed in the style of the rnasqueraders interpretation of the role of Mcph'.sto. There wore thirteen of th-in and they proceeded to revel in hell, giving a very clever exhibition in gymnastics. They concluded by torturing and roasting a number of supposed mortals whom they had previously made of old clothing and straw. The entertainment by the devils elicited much applause. The parts were taken by the following active members of the society: Herman Osterheld. Martin Blrk. Otto Lombard. Eddie Otto. Louis Hlrsch. Eddie Keppler. Christian Paumbach. William Peters. Theodore Gnus, Juliu? Bechcn r. Carl Reh(lel, August Kuehlelsen and Gustav Uroblneus. There were the usual costumes seen at tho masquerade. Some of the ladles made t ic-gance of utilr" the point In dressing rather than novelty. Others sought to represent some class or historical character. Two bicycle girls In bloomers attracted ibout us much as their share of attention Among tho men the members of the floor .T.mmittee, who were dressed as Spanish avaliers. wore the handsomest costume.-. i hero were the usual number of clowns and ramps. One of tne latter class, Henry Moersch. gave a Utile entertainment be tween dances by riding about the hall on

his "1SDS" model bicycle. It was a crude, wooden affair. His brother "hoboes" pounced upon him before he had made much progress on his wheel and rendered the machine unfit for exhibition purposes. There were twenty-four numbers on the dancing programme and it was not until an early hour this morning that the ball was over.

TWO DRUNKEN HOODLUMS. 3IiIton Jncknon, a Lad, Beaten and Stabbed by Them. Milton Jackson, a young lad who lives at the corner of Stevens and Greer streets, was badly beaten and cut yesterday in a fight with two drunken hoodlums. Jackson and another boy nameel McCllntock were standing in the corridor of the Statehouso warming y themselves at the radiator, when two strange boys about their own age came up to them and began to pick a quarrel. Jackson and McClintock say that both the strange boys were drunk. A few words were exchanged, when the smaller of the strangers picked up a mop handle w-hlch was standing near and struck Jackson several times over the head vvith It. Tho hoodlums then ran out of the building, leaving Jackson in a dazed condition and McClintock in nearly as confused a state from anxiety for his comrade's safety. Jackson was able to walk however, and the two lads started east on Market street. On reaching the alloy between Capitol avenue and the Circle they again encountered the two hoodlums. Both jumped at once on Jackson, who recovered himself long enough, the bystanders said, to knock down both his assailants. They came at him again and while he was engaged with the smaller one the other drew a knife and. coming up behind, stabbed Jackson In the arm just below the shoulder. Then the hoodlums took Might, going north up the alley. No one gave chase. 'McClintock and some of the bystanders took Jackson up into Dr. Cunningham's office, where his wounds were dressed, the doctor pronouncing his hurts not serious, though the cut on the arm was rat he'd a deep one. Jackson protested all the time that he was "all right" and that the other people talked too much. Ho was able to walk home from the office. MANY AFTER THE FENCE. Snggented that It Mip;ht Be Used in A'eiv Police Station. The courthouse yard prorjlem Is assuming a more tangible shape. Since the announcement yesterday morning that there had been an offer of $2,500 made for the stone fence, there have been several callers at the courthouse, who asked that the fence be not sold until they had an opportunity to measure it and make a bid. As stated, the offer of $2,500 was merely offhand without any measurements, and the bidder said at the time that ho thought the fence worth much more than that sum. From statements made yesterday it seems that, the proceeds of the sale of the fence, with a year's rent from the city, would almost pay the cost of making tho external improvements. Yesterday It was Intimated to the county that it might be possible that the city could buy the fence and use the stone in the construction of the new police station, but this seems impracticable, for the reason that this work will have to be done by contract and It Is not probable that it would be profitable for the city to undertake to furnish any of the material for the building. Commissioner Greer was at the courthouse for a short time yesterday. He thought he would be able to atterd to business to-day, and if ho, the yard question will be taken up immediately. Messrs. Harding and McGregor strongly favor the proposition and then; is now no doubt that the work will be done.

The Training School Music. Principal Emmerich, of tho Industrial Training School, Is not disposed to take seriously the action of the Musicians' Union against his school boy orchestra who furnished tho music at the commencement exercises Wednesday night. He pronounced the whole affair the most ridiculous thing ho ever heard of. In explaining the matter to a Journal reporter yesterday he said: "We have an orchestra here in the school made up of our own pupils. I organized it about a year ago and lead it myself. Cn Friday afternoons, when we have exercises in the school auditorium, this orchestra plays and furnishes pleasure to the school as well as giving the boys themselves profit musically. The other day I received a note from Henry D. Belssenherz. president of the Musicians' Union, stating that he had heard our orchestra was to play at the commencement exercises and objecting to the procedure on the ground that the boys eught not to be allowed to compete with union musicians, since it is known that the School Bemrd allows us $,5 for music at our commencement. "AH this is nonsense. It Is true we are allowed $25 by the board, but the boys get none of the money. We use some of it to buy music for them, which is no more than fair, and some of it to hire professional musicians to help out on occasions like that of commencement, when something extra Is wanted, in such cases we pay regular union wages. I told Mr. Beisscnherz's son. who brought the note, that the hoys would play: they did so. and will continue to do to whenever they feel like it." 4 Cant. John M. Gotlown Hurt. Captain John M. Godown, while returning from business Tuesday evening, fell on the icy pavement in front of St. Paul's Episcopal Church and broke his arm. Dr. Tomlin took him to his homo and attended to his injury. C'ltjr HtilltlinKK, Courthouse nnd Parka. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: It does not seem wise to me to spend $100,000 for temporary city buildings on Alabama street or anywhere elst The building of new government quarters in this city Is only a question of time; It may be within a year or two; It may te twenty years, but It Is Inevitable, and there Is hardly the remotest possibility that they will be built on the present government holdings. Whenever that time comes that two hundred feet square will be for sale, nnd there is but one man in the city who would bid up on the city to a speculative point, and he may go to take possession of the treasure he has been laying up over the river before this chance to speculate comes around; then the city can buy the ground at a fair price, for he is not likely to have a successor. How well adapted to city purposes that spot is need not be mentioned. It is certainly worth waiting for. and all buildings we absolutely need should be strictly temporary, as we built a temporary courthouse, and the State built temporary cthces while waiting for the new courthouse and statehouso. Will that take JluO.OOO or the half of it? It is not a little amusing to witness the haggling between the county and city about the price of rent for the basement of the courthouse. I.t any event, the city gets a dividend of W) per cent, of the money paid. If tlie rent is ?I,0i0 per year the citv receipts only $.2'J0; if fl.'rOO it receipts jN.X;i. making an actual difference of $2' a year between the two llgures. How far that will go towards paying the expenses of moving and paying rent to a landlord that would not divide a penny with u. Instead of SO Ior cent., 1 do not undertake to say. And whether the county can afford to eject a tenant that pays for the possibility of getting $l.u00. but more likely to get nothing, is also a question for the two men who represent 20 per cent. oC the xroperty involved to decide. I have been accused of opposing parks. There is not a word of truth in it. I am in favor of parks, and a great many of them, and of large and expensive parks. 1 did protest at the time of the purchase of Garfield Park against the price and the location, and the thousands we have paid In interest and otherwise pretty clearly vindicates my judgment. I am not now opposed to new parks, nor to th appropriation of the J500.WO for them. The small parks in the city are judiciously located and not unreasonably expensive, but I do protest against calling a narrow strip of land and creek, less than an average of a quarter of a mile wide. Including the creek and its expensive artificial lakes, a park or a system of parks, and spending most of the proposed half-million In making a fancy driveway for the'! owners of tine rls and pleading the comfort of poor people In its behalf. Two or three hundred acres of land accessible by rail would be tjulte a luxury to everybody a hundred years hence, but that driveway never, except to a few. I have no sympathy with those who tire forever decrying taxes. The truth Is. we are taxed loo little, not too much, for public improvements, such as streets, parks, monuments unci costly buildings: but to steal n march upon a people already burdened with ihce ireful things by calling a boulevard a 1 arlc, it what I object to.

TENDER CROPS NIPPED

3IITII DAMAGE 10NK TO TlttCIv I-'AIOIS IX TIlH SOIT1I. Florida Orangre Jrove Not Vet Serl-onnI-AfTeeteil by the Cold Snap Snow In New England. WASHINGTON. Jan. 2S.-Reports from the South Atlantic States show the present cold snap to b? the most severe of the winter and quite general from Virginia to Florida. At Danville, Newport News, Petersburg. Roanoke and Norfolk, Va., the temperature rangod from 6 degrees to 2J. Snow lies over the State to a depth of from two to six inches. Ice has formed on most of the streams. From Norfolk the- statement Is received that the storm was very severe on the bay. Lookouts on incoming vessels reporteel the cold was intense. Life savers along the beach also report a terrible night as they ptrqlled the coast. The temperature to-night has dropped to 14 degrees with chilling northwest winds. The lower harbor Is fdlled with storm-bound shipping, but the regular steamers keep up their services. Throughout Georgia and North and South Carolina the weather is dry and cold, the thermometer ranging from 10 degrees to 25 as a maximum. Jacksonville, Fla., reports that the cold last night throughout northern counties, from Jacksonville to Pensacola, the thermometer ranged generally from 20 to 21 degrees, going hero and there as low as IT. Frost In lesser degrees was felt as far south as Tltusvllle on the east coast and Tampa on the west. Reports from the districts devoted to the orange culture indicate that, except In the more expose'! situations, little damage lias been done. No sufficient sap was in the wood to cause material damage. The losses of the truck farmers In tho Gainesville district will bo more severe. A considerable percentage of the growing lettuce, beets and cabbage has oeen killed, but no close estimate can yet be formed. There was a heavy fall of snow In the Eastern and New England States to-day. A Boston dispatch says: After tin absence of snowstorms for over forty days this city, and, in fact, nearly the whole of New England was swept by a blizzard to-day. From twelve to sixteen inches of s.now fell and a heavy northwest wind piled It Into drifts. Some delay to railroad trath vas experienced. To-night, after twelvo hours of tempestuous weather, the sky is again clear over this city, but the storm has swept on down the Maine coast, where it is still being felt. The storm conter at y o'clock was well down towards the provinces, where the wind was blowing lif-ty-two miles an hour. At Portland, however, the wind had fallen to twenty-four miles an hour and the sky was rapidly clearing. The snowfall was undoubtedly the heaviest experienced In southern New England for some years, but farther to the north the fall was about the averago for a winter storm. v Albany, N. Y., reports that a most severe snow and windstorm prevailed throughout the Empire State to-day. It Is still in progress to-night and threatens to seriously interfere with railway traffic. The New York Central, the West Shore, the Erie and the Iehigh companies have snow plows in operation. In the northern part of the State from twelve to fifteen Inches of snowhas fallen and the storm shows no signs of ab atement. A strong north northwest wind prevails in the southern part of the State and the snow is rapidly piling into drifts. A dispatch from New York city says the snowstorm which commenced yesterday afternoon abated about noon to-day, leaving tho ground in this vicinity bidden leneath a covering of frost ten Inches deep. The wind, which had been almost entirely still up to this time, began to blow in fitful gusts, drifting the powderlike snow from roofs and elevate-d roads and even the sidewalks and streets and throwing in blinding masses into the eyes of pedestrians. Traffic in nil parts of the city was gmdly hampered. The elevated roads ran their trains as near to schedule time as possible, but they seemed to creep with a snail-like pace up and down town. The storm on Bong Island was more revere than In this city. As far as Jamaica the fall was alout the same, but the depth increased until out at Montauk point two feet hud fallen. IIumcH and Cattle PeriNU. CHAMBERLAIN, S. D.. Jan. 2S. A. Pickeye, a Lyman county ranchman, reports that up to date more than one thousand head of horses and cattle have perished in that county from the fact that owners trusted too much to the ability of the animals caring for themselves and neglected to put up hay. The great snowfall experienced covered the range and consuiutnlly stock simply starved to death. Indian stock raisers on the lower Brule and Crow creek reservations may lose all their stock, as many of them put up no hay at all. FORECAST FOR TO-DAY.

To the Ldltor of the Indianapolis Journal: From the wild talk of tne mdvocates of the extensive park hcheme submitted by the park commissioners one would be led to believe the city eloomed unless their extravagant notions are adopted. Parks are not a positive necessity to our prosperity, as claimed, nor do they build cities. They are simply the tmbe liishments that very rich communities can afford to Indulge Inlike the lace and fringe that borders a useful article. Well kept parks, during four or five months of the year, are very desirable always, provided they can be afforded, especially desirable to the tlch who own line equipages in which to exploit their wealth, but the gain to the poor man ha been greatly overstated. Just think of a working man and family on a hot day -"doing" the o-eal!ed "parkway." H starts in with his littlo ones at Washington street and White river, tramping up through the extended river ab,d creek bottoms to the fair grounds, past Schoficld's mill to Mount Nebo. a ilistant:e of probably ten miles from the starting point. I that the kind of outing or dlvertisement the poor people want? What they prefer Is u long and cheap ride on the oars to homo such place as picturesque Falrview or Broad Ripple. Can we nrtord and do we require, under the circumstances, ho much adornment Just at this time? This Is not a city of millionaires, housed In mansions, but mainly of small homes mostly occupied by the owners, located on wide streets and open lots. We started to Improve the city about live years ano. and are In tho mldt of a vast street and sewer Improvement era. having spent so far probably seven to eight million dollars. Beside our city and county debt there Is now nearly $T.,o).uX of Barrett bond tiutstamllng. principally against the small homes of lndlanaiolis, and more Barrett bonds yet to come. Now it .is proposed to Increase the bonded municipal debt, thereby increasing taxes, and also assess lonet1ts against the very clajss of small properties already loaded down with Barrett law encumbrances for what? To obtain pure water and water works, an adequate and much-needed city building, a station house, schoolhouses, dispensary, Pogue's run drainage, city markets, fire engine houses, railroad crossing viaducts, elevated tracks, or any one of a dozen things that prudent municipalities always provide themselves with before gedng into extravagant adornment? No. Parks are expensive affairs. Take Garfield Park as an object lesson. It has already cost the city over ?2X.0!H. nnd Is yet in the rough. The city spent, the past year, on it and the four park squares about $XO for maintenance and adornment. If these small patches of ground cost that amount annually, what would twelvo miles of park and purkway along the overflowing White river and Fall creek bottomw, with the contemplated dams, boulevards, dde elrlves. walks, fountains, together with the dozen smaller park projected, likely cost each year? Is not this Just a little bit chlmercial under existing conditions? Parks are not absolutely essential to the growth of cities, but freedom from large municipal Indebtedness and a consequent heavy tax rate are absolutely essential to their growth and well-being. If any erne doubts this proposition let them observe the withering effects of larRe municipal debt wroucht In the case of Cincinnati, the old-time heralded "Queen City of the West:" Evansville. Chattanooga, or the many cities and counties of Kansas People leave such taxrluden communities an J sock thope having less tax burdens. Not only is It necessary te preserve a. low tax rat to Insure th growth cf our city, but ll Is also absolutely necessary, to attain the same end, that our citizens should be supplied with pure water and their health thereby remain unimpaired. It Is well known in medical circles that typhoid fever the rnt two -seasons has been frightfully prevalent here on account of bad water. Indianapolis shouM own and control the water supply. A penurious corporation that will furnish Its patron contaminated water and attempt to falsify the source of the supply, cannot be expected, even In the face of a contract, to furnish pure water, to put In adequate modern niters. The city should use th JwO.000 credit available, and in some lawful manner add to that amount enough to pur chase the works. That would bo an invest ment that Is a positive necessiay to tin welfare of our people. Kngtneer Powi ways in his report, "parkrs provide a hlghef tone" and "beautify a city." but th absence of potable water Is a greater deprivation than the absence of a vast park system. We can rely for "tone" on thos we have a while yet until we supply a few pressing- .necessities. Some of the small tracts? Lnglneer Power refers to as being on tho South Side, have evidently been thrown to that much ne-glected section aa a sort of "sop" to gain support for the entire scheme. Ho also refers to a tract "lying south of the lelt I tail road letwn tbe Hluff road and White river." ThU doubtless embraces some of that beautiful low bog. usually denominated "No man's land." which half the year Is Infected with mosquitoes and will not supiort the weight of a cow. Humor ha. it the latter piece belongs to ft prominent city official, and Is linked as park land with another piece adjacent. The only seemingly valid argument in favor of the purchase of a moderate amount of kind now is that it will be higher ten years h?nce. If we had money that might apply to a moderate amount and let It lay aside until the city ha attained other ends absolutely necessary. Besides In delay the possibilities are that in the meantime some rich man will leave the city a bequest in this behalf. CITIZEN., Indianapolis. Jan. 23.
