Mr*. Svott’n Convert. The audience that gathered at the D. H. Baldwin rooms last evening on the occasion of the concert given by Mrs. Ida Gray Scott filled every available seat. It was an audience of cultured musicians and music lovers, who were appreciative of the many excellencies of the programme. Mrs. Scott was assisted by Mrs. Anna Willcox Barry, pianist, Mr. Frank V. Steele, basso, and Mrs. Winifred Hysung Aydelotte, accompanist. Mrs. Scott was in fine voice and her tones were given with an ease, brilliancy and clearness that was not only an example of her art, but were refreshing for their purity and unaffectation. One of the most pleasing characteristics of Mrs. Scott's tinging is her perfect enunciation. She easily ranks w ith the best singers of the State, If not of the West, and her return to this city for residence adds greatly to the musical standing of the. community. Mrs. Scott tang a recitative and aria, from "Carmen •* “O Could I.” by Tostl, a “Madrigal,” by Chaminade, and two selections by Tschaikowsky. “Toujours a Toi” and “O Sorrow. O Sweetness.” The last was the finale of the programme, yet she was recalled and sang “For This.” by De Koven. Mrs. Barry opened the programme with a "legend ” by Kruger, and a “Valse” by Grunfeld, and later played "En Route,” by Godard. Each was a finished production and in response to a hearty recall she played with exquisite delicacy and elusiveness the "Will o’ the Wisp,” by Jensen, giving it a perfect tonal expression. Mr. Steele pleased the audience with his manly Interpretation of the famous Torreador song from "Carmen” and the love song "If I Were King.” by Armitage, and sang, after a recall for the latter, the Mounteband song by Watson. Mrs. Aydelotte* accompaniments for both singers were well executed and sympathetic. In Favor of Ihe Bill. At a regular meeting of the O. P. Morton Republican Club, recently held, a resolution was read and unanimously adopted favoring th* bill now before the State Legislature granting a pension of SIOO a month to Mrs O. P. Morton.

DE PAUW ORATOR WINS GEO. E. FARM AH’S ELOQUENCE AMI THOUGHT GIVEN HIGHEST HANK. Tlie Scene at Plymouth Church—\\ hat the Orator* Said—The Girl*' Part. ■ ♦ A riot of college students occurred lastnight at Plymouth Church. During a calm seven young men delivered orations into which they put their whole beings, as earnestly as they had put their brains and time in preparation, and then the riot began again. The Do Pauw students had the better of it, for their representative—George E. Farrar—was named as the winner of the contest. The Butler boys, over-confident, had taken possession, of the platform and the organ; and before the decision was announced they were the biggest ducks in the puddle, but when De Pauw was announced as the winner the delegation from that college forced the Indianapolis men off the platform and, incidentally, broke down a part of tlie choir rail. The object of the contest was not to gain learning from the hcaring.of orations, but to gain victory and fame for a. college and it was this spirit which ruled the crowd and led the different delegations to spend their breath in trying to out yell and out sing each other. The result was a unified tumult of the most inspiring, breast-heaving and eye-glistening kind. Those* who filled the seats of the mighty of this excited throng did not raise their voices in yells and song, for they were the dignified judges of the ability of the orators, and after the contest they sat in a back room and counted up cold hard figures while the students were spending their enthusiasm. These unseen, pre-eminent forces were: On delivery—Judges Black, Henley and Francis E. Baker. On manuscript—T. Scott Clark. Northwestern Univeisity: Bliss Perry, Princeton; George W. Baker, Harvard. The judges gave be i a„w first place. Earlham second and Butler third. It was announced privately after the contest that Judge Hackney, who had been apjKiinted a judge of delivery, had declined because he had received a letter from one of the colleges concerned, presuming to attempt to influence his decision. The following table shows the score of the contest, the names of the colleges appearing in the rank they took. The names of the judges are not printed at the top of the percentage columns, because some if the judges handed in their decisions without their names and the committee did not care to run the risk of crediting one judge with another’s scoring.

The church had a gala dress of vari-colored ribbons and bright faces. There seemed to be as many girls as boys, and all together they filled the place to overflowing. The girls took as prominent a part in the yelling as did the boys—they were outdone in nothing except that they had no representatives among the orators. Even when the Butler gang pushed its way to the platform and one of them opened the organ and played “Vive I’Varsity," the University of Indianapolis song—a direct challenge to the other bands of students—a bunch of pretty girls lined up in front and lent their voices to the din. They were scattered even as the chaff before the storm when the De Pauw mob rushed for the citadel, but they were game to the last. And when an attempt was made from below to drag the De Pauw colors from the balcony rail a crowd of twentieth century girls above grabbed the streamers and hung op like men until the cloth gave tvay in the middle. The general sound of the schrdlu voices seemed somewhat different than it did at last year’s contest and it is probable that the individual yells had been made over to include advanced educational thought. It was screamed out that: “De Pauw came to the contest to see what she could saw.’’ This line was repeated several times, and hope sprang in the breasts of the ignorant ones that it might be revealed in time what De Pauw “had saw,” but before that giorious moment came the “Rah! Rahs!” and “Cllckety Clacks!” and other expressions of extreme unction drowned out the explanation of what De Pauw saw. The storm of voices beat against the church w'alls and found its way out through cracks and into the homes of people living some distance away. It was, all around, a large evening, and a fish horn and a voice that desperately but vainly sought “a rough house” added to the exhilaration. Governor Mount, smiling broadly, sat in the front row, and, apparently, lost none of the fun. Farrar, the successful orator, spoke in a convincing way, which the others, in different measures, lacked. His subject was “The Coming King.” He said that the divine idea that stands behind all organized movements for reform is the coming king. He told of the world-wide evils that had been overcome by the advance of civilization, but he set over against them the present evils in the social, political and industrial phases of life and showed that there Is yet much to be gained. His view of the future was optimistic. His was not a platform exhibition of oratory, but a real address full of earnest thought, presented eloquently. William Hovey Stout, of Indiana University, discussed "The Problem of the City.” He denounced corruption in municipal administration; bitterly arraigned the purchasable aldermen and declared that the only cure for political jobbery is for the good citizens to take an active interest in politics. With fairy language F. A. Hisner, of Franklin College, denounced the capitalists, "the bloated bond holders. “ and others of their ilk. He spoke of their being "drunk w ith success.” told of "helpless women and innocent children” and “bloody coin given to the church to ease the conscience of the money sharks.” The address of G. L. Levering, of Earlham, on "Gladstone and Bismarck,” was a thoughtful measuring of the two men. Bismarck stood for egotism and Gladstone for altruism. Bismarck w r as for Bismarck. Prussia and Germany; Gladstone for all mankind. Joseph Silas Miller, of Wabash, told the story of the life of the martyr John Brown, of Osawatomie. C. Herbert Bass, of Butler, eulogized "America’s War for Humanity,” and predicted a glorious future for the countrv in its philanthropy. W. A. Oldfather. of Hanover, said “The Call to Americans” was for them to “step out into the heat of the day.” He put the anti-expansionists on the rack, and showed that the duty of America is to continue extending the helping hand to peoples struggling for freedom. The University of Indianapolis Glee Club and the Indiana University Quartet sang between the orations and were w armly welcomed. * FRATERMTV MEEITNGS.

The meeting of the Indiana Intercollegiate Athletic Association was called to order by President Whallen at the Denison at 2 o’clock. Financial affairs of the association occupied the most of the time allotted to the meeting. It was decided that hereafter the expenses of the annual field day should bo borne by the different universities sending track teams to the contest. The last meeting of the college field day sports showed a deficit in the treasury. There was a complicated condition of the association's finances in consequence. It was shown that many of the colleges had not paid their assessments, it was decided that, at the next lield day of the. association, each college must bear the expense of sending its own field team. Each college wall then bear the proportionate expense in case of a deficit in the receipts. or will share the dividend in case of a prosperous day. The new officers of the association elected were: Thomas Elliott, of Earlhani, president; W. H. Hays, Wabash, Secretary, and C. M. Neizer, Indiana University, treasurer.

He was born in Reading, Pa., and during his early life in this city was a prominent business man. Ho was once secretary of the J., M. & I. Railroad and later, for four years, was state oil inspector.

Edward Huff was brought before Judge Cox yesterday in Police Court, charged with the murder of his father, William Huff, but a continuance of the case until next Friday being granted, no evidence was taken. The continuance was allowed on the representation of the detective department, through Captain Colbert, that further time was needed to investigate the facts of the mysterious affair. Huff is still protesting his innocence of the crime, and the detectives were in North Indianapolis yesterday investigating the case with a view to substantiating or proving false some of Huff's claims. They were reported to be about to make another arrest on evidence that has come before them since young Huff was arrested, but they made none during the night. One thing that will tell against Edward Huff’s claims at the trial will be his reputation as it is found in the police records. It is shown that at one time he held up Patrolmen Koons and Jackson, who attempted to arrest him, pointing a rifle at their heads and refusing to surrender. The detectives say that a quarrel between Huff and his father two days before the shooting inclines them to believe that bad feeling existed between the father and son at the time of the former’s death.

DAMAGING TO CREGOR * LAST TESTIMONY IN THE CONTESTED ELECTION CASE. Evidence to tle Effect that Stoner’s Opponent “Saw” Some of the Hoy*. The last testimony in the Stoner-Cfegor contested election ease was offered yesterday afternoon, and was damaging to the Gregor interests throughout. William Pea, of Rushville, who had been charged with having bought Democratic votes for Stoner and the rest of the Republican ticket, said he never paid any campaign money to any ir.an during the last election. The pollbook in an Anderson precinct was produced by County Clerk Isaac May, and it showed that William Hooser, colored, who testified that he had been hired by the Democrats to stay away from the polls, did not vote on election day, although William Boland, when testifying for Gregor, a few days ago, said that he had seen Hooser enter the chuta at tho voting place shortly before dark. The last testimony offered by the Cregorites on Thursday right was that of Dr. Gregor, who said he had never given any money or made any promises to anyone in order to secure votes. Yesterday William Bass, colored, of Carthage, said that Gregor had, at different times before election, given him a coat and vest and several bottles of whisky, with the understanding that he w T as to vote for him on election day. Bass w r as a particularly adverse witness, and it required the combined questioning of Attorney Greenlee and Senator Gilbert to extract from him the fact that Gregor had given him $5 shortly before election, and on election day had asked to have it returned to him. Turner Newsome, colored, also said that Gregor had given him whisky with the understanding that he should vote for him. Fowle Newsome, colored, said that Gregor several times asked him to vote for him, and that one day in return he asked Gregor for some whisky, which Gregor gave to him, saying, “All right, Fowle, but you mustn’t forget me on election day.” Josiah Scott, colored, of Carthage, said Gregor had offered to buy him anew suit of clothes if he would vote for him. John Tuttle, colored, who was Republican poolbook holder and challenger at the south precinct of Carthage, said that Cregor told him on the morning of election day that if he would support him he would “doctor his family” in return. The witness said he turned away without making any remark, as he had made up his mind to “knock down any Democrat who offered to buy his vote,” and didn't want to have any trouble with Gregor. John Beal, of Rushville, who had been charged with buying votes for the Republicans. said he had never paid any money to any one for votes. Captain Curtis tried to impeach the testimony of the witness by showing that he was a “crap shooter.” but nothing was accomplished in that direction. Frank Clevenger and Ben L. McFarlan, both of Rushville, testified to the bad character of Omar Lynes, who testified for Gregor that Clevenger had paid him $5 to vote the Republican ticket. Clevenger denied that he had ever paid any money to Lynes at any time, or that Lynes was in his saloon on election day, as charged. Attorney Hough then introduced the certified copy of the marriage license issued to Mrs. Nancy Roekey, who, several days ago, had testified that her son Ernest had been born fifteen months after her marriage. It bore the date of Aug. 9, 1X77, indicating clearly that the boy was not twen-ty-one years of age when he voted the Democratic ticket in Greenfield last November. The last step in the case will he taken Tuesday, when briefs will be filed by the attorneys for both sides, together with brief arguments. It is not known when the report of the committee will be submitted to the Senate. BOWLING SCORES. How the 4*nine Went I,n*t Night on the Different Alley*.

The Maennerehor Bowling Club had a prize contest Thursday night on the Walhalla alleys. The club is composed of married people, members of the Maennerehor, and claims the best women bowlers in the city. The following contestants carried off the prizes in the order named: Mrs. C. H. Adam, Mrs. George F. Borst, Mrs. John Rauch, Mrs. Louis Murr, Mrs. Emma Rhodehamel, Mrs. Eugene Dolmetsch. Mrs. F. A. Mueller, Messrs. Victor K. Jose, Paul IT. Krauss, luis Murr. John Rauch, F. A. Mueller, C. H. Adam, Joseph Schneider. Funeral of Hick*’* Victim. The funeral of Mrs. Josephine Romhilt, proprietress of the Illinois House, who was shot by Fritz Hicks, was held yesterday afternoon at 2 o’clock. Tiie accused murderer had a conference with his attorney yesterday morning, and after this talk closed his mouth to interviewers. He changed his clothing, refusing to show to those who w*ere i>ermitted to see him the hole in his coat and vest and the dented suspender buckle that he showed Thursday as evidence of a shooting in selfdefense. If his defense is to be made on that issue. Hicks's legal advisers have decided that the less said about it at present the stronger will be his case. The detectives have not found anything that will sunport Hicks’s statement except the two bullet holes in the wail of the hotel laundry, which, together with the bullet wounds in the body of tho dead woman, seem to substantiate the claim that there were five shots fired.

It if* in this clay of the smallpox scare when the older generation looks back into the misty past and smiles at the remembrance of that fearful moment when it bared its arm to the doctor, and its free hand sought the comforting grasp of father or mother while the ivory point stung its way through the skin. And when the blood came it brought with it a shudder of horror and a faintness. Deep and serious cuts received in play had been borne sturdily, but the thought of being scratched intentionally, that the letting of blood was done purposely, caused a sick gasp and a turning away of the head. Many of the weaker fainted, and the chairs and couches in the doctor's office supported many a dizzy-headed one recovering from the shock. Some arms swelled and grew painful; the result of some vaccinations was a week or so In bed. Dr. Hurty, secretary of the State Board of Health, is going out into the byways vaccinating, but not with the old-fashioned ivory point in hand. In fact, his new method is so “pleasant to take’’ that he is much sought after. Yesterday afternoon two well-dressed colored women of matronly apliearaneo entered Dr. Hurty’s office and asked that he vaccinate them. They had seen him at work in their neighborhood the night before. Dr. Hurty led them into his private olhee and proceeded to give a demonstration of latter-day vaccination, accompanying it with a lucid explanation. The older woman was the first patient. She was steady, but her companion was nervous and giggled hysterically. “Now, I take this clean handkerchief belonging to the lady,’’ said the doctor, suiting the action to the word, “and moisten it with this antiseptic.” He poured the antiseptic from a bottle on the handkerchief. “Then I rub this spot on her arm, this way. Now, do you see the stain? That is the dead skin. If 1 had scratched the arm without removing the dead skin, it would .have been scratcned in and absorbed, which might itave been productive of very bad results. In the old times this was not done, and the result was that serious illness sometimes resulted from vaccination. You, no doubt, have seen people with their arms swelled up from vaccination. That’s useless. This woman will sutler nothing of the kind. The wound will itch a little, and she may feel a little pain like rheumatism. “I will now take a needle from this package, that lias never been used before, but to be sale 1 will dip it into the antiseptic, • thus. I now scratch the arm.” The doctor stretched the skin tight over the place where he intended to scratch. The woman turned away her head. The hysterical giggling of the younger woman became more pronounced, but her eyes sought the place where the operation was to be performed as if fascinated. Up and down the needle ran, and presently its track became red. Then it passed across the back until the spot was of criss-cross bars and a few drops of blood oozed out. "That doesn’t hurt you, does it?” asked the doctor. “No,” replied the woman, though doubtfully. “I don't feel nothin’.” The doctor laid aside his needle and produced a vial full of glass tubes, as slender themselves as the needle. By holding them to the light it could be seen that they contained a colorless liquid. “This is the lymph, ’ Demonstrator Hurty said. “This tube is welded shut at both ends, and the lymph, after being put in with glycerine, is absolutely protected from organic matter or other impurities. Now I will break off both ends, thus. One end I insert in the little hole in the nozzle of this rubber bulb. See? Now I squirt a drop or two of tiie lymph in the wound. Ah, there! Now (you are all right. Just keep your sleeve up for about ten minutes until the blood is dry and the lymph is absorbed. Funny, isn’t it, how that will keep you safe from the smallpox?” The women were raptly scrutinizing the wound and the drop of blood, and the smile on the face of the younger woman had faded into an uneasy working of the lips. She showed no inclination'to roll up her sleeve. Now, Dr. Hurty, though not a practicing physician, had acquired the art of deception peculiar to the doctor’s trade and all the blandishments of the dentist, who, saying to the small boy, "Now just open your mouth so I can see the tooth. I’m not going to hurt you, and I’m not going to pull it this time. Oh, yes, um-m, that don’t amount to much,” slips a pair of pincers from his sleeve into his hand, and, with a long drawn out “Ah!” jerks forth the “baby tooth,” while the patient leans over the chair urm spitting blood, delirious with surprise. So the secretary of the State Board of Health, operating in a free dispensary, said to the young colored woman: “You, a big, healthy woman, afraid of being scratched! Why, I’ve no doubt you’ve hurt your hand on the washboard much more painfully than this needle will.”

"I never had nothin’ to do with no washboard. That blood kind o' scared me out.” “Oh, I beg your pardon.” Hero is where the doctor worked the dentist's game. "Now roll up your sleeve that’s right. This won't hurt you at all. Hid you ever hear the story about the young fellow whose mother sent him to town to buy a washing machine? No? Well”—all the time the doctor's lingers were working deftly with the needle—‘‘he came back home with a wife, llis mother said, ‘I thought I sent you for a washing machine.’ ‘Yes,’ said the son, ‘and I’ve brought back the best washing machine I could find.’ ” The older woman, who had been through the mill, rocked to and fro in a paroxysm of laughter and the tears sprang to her eyes, a gratifying showing that the doctor’s ability as a story teller was as great as his skill as a vaccinator. The woman then under the needle winced at the pain, and when the blood appeared she turned her head aside weakly. "Now it's done,” said the doctor, ‘‘and all you have to do is to wait till the blood dries, and then you can never have the smallpox. Wouldn’t you rather be vaccinated than have the smallpox?” "Yes, I s'pose.” “Now,” remarked the doctor to a visitor, ‘‘you see how much better this method is than the old. There Is positively no danger from outside poisoning. These needles shall not be used again until they have been passed through a tlame and sterilized. These two women wili feel only a slight aftereffect.” "1 don’t believe this blood ever will dry,” broke in one of the women, nervously, as if she feared she would bleed to death slowly, but surely. But it did dry in a few minutes, and the women rolled down their sleeves and put on their coats. “There is one drawback,” it was suggested to them, “and that is that your days of decollete dress are over.” The two colored women, as oblivious to the sarcasm as they were ignorant of the meaning of the phrase, happily thanked the doctor and passed out of the office, the red badge of courage on their arms. THttEK MORE CASKS. Dr. AVagner Discovert* Smallpox in n Spann-Avenue Home. A good deal of consternation was created in the family of'Charles W. Kuetemeier, a mail carrier, living at 1116 Spann avenue, when Dr. T. A. Wagner, the smallpox expert, announced last midnight that the mail carrier's three children—Eva, aged eleven years; Frances, aged eight, and Doris, aged six—were suffering with the dread disease. Tiie father and mother at once implored the authorities not to send their children to the pesthouse. Dr. Wagner said it would be almost fatal to take them out In the cold in their delicate state of health, and I>r. K. D. Clark, secretary of the Board of Health, was at a loss what to decide when he heard the news at midnight. He was inclined to think the board would not order the children removed from the care of their father and mother, especially as Kuetemeier promised they should have the best of care and that every precaution the board might direct would be followed strictly. Dr. Clark agreed with Dr. Wagner that it would endanger the children to move them. There is considerable excitement in the neighborhood. Until a few days ago the little girls were in school, attending No. 28, on Fletcher avenue. This is the lirst time that smallpox has been diagnosed on the populous South Side, and many parents were anxious last

I night for their little ones. This anxiety j was especially pronounced when it was recalled that Kuetemeier himself recently suffered with something that is now feared by *he physicians was a case of varioloid, as did his wife. Whether he was about town after the slight eruption appeared Dr. Clark had not time to ascertain when Dr. Wagner reported the case at midnight. Neitner had time enough elapsed for him to ascertain whether the children had been in school after being exposed. While not thinking his own ease was anything serious, when his children became ill, last Monday, and it was known there was smallpox m town, Mr. Kuetemeier at once summoned a physician, who reported the case to the Board of Health. Dr. Wagner was called in consultation on Tuesday. At tnat time he was doubtful about the case. There was a sight rash, with scarcely any fever perceptible. He made frequent visits to the house during the week, and was there four times yesterday, alter the tirst physician informed him there had been a marked change. After visiting the house twice last night. Dr. Wagner was certain the ease was smallpox, and so informed Dr. Clark. At the postofftce last night it was not possible to ascertain how long the mail carrier had been absent from duty, but some of the clerks were positive he had not been at work since Jan. t*. No one was able to say whether he had distributed mail after his own slight case appeared. In times of contagion it has been observed that disease has frequently been carried through the mails. Neither of the Kuetemeier children had ever been vaccinated, although both the father and mother had—how’ long ago was not known to Dr. Clark last night. The Board of Health has anew pest house. Yesterday J. C. Power, superintendent of parks, conferred with I>r. Clark concerning property owned in the city which constitutes part of the park system. It is what Is known as the Shooting Park, north of Kmrichville. There is a comfortable four-room house that could be made to accommodate twenty patients, beside which there is a clubhouse, which, with the work of a few carpenters, could in a short time he converted into a comfortable ward capable of caring for fifty patients. Dr. Clark said that while he had no reason to fear that it would be necessary to care for anything like seventy patients, it was considerable of a relief to the board to have a comfortable place for a temporary >est house. The old one is really not suitable for the purposes to which it is being put, and there would be a serious difficulty confronting the health officials if many more patients had to be taken care of. The house in tlio Shooting Park is completely isolated. It is 1,000 feet from the nearest road, and there are no other houses near it. It already belongs to the city, is vacant and can be used in this emergency until a permanent one is built. To-day Dr. Clark will visit the premises with Mr. Power and make arrangements to have the house provided with coal stoves, if gas is not to bo had, and enough furniture to make it comfortable and habitable. Carpenters will be put to work on the clubhouse adjacent to the cottage and convert it into a ward as rapidly as possible. Tle Manli Grata.
