Argument In the Rny f use. In the Circuit Court yesterday Judge Allen heard argument on a demurrer in the suit of the Farmers’ Bank, of Frankfort, against George Ml Kay, of Rhelbyville, his wife and Miss Sarah E. Billman. The bank is seeking to set aside a conveyance made by Mrs. Ray to Miss Billman. A house and lot valued at $6,000 is involved. The bank wants the conveyance set aside so that it may secure the property in the event of a judgment being procured against Ray, who sold the bank about $4,000 of alleged fraudulent township trustee warrants. It is admitted that the warrants -were given without consideration. It is claimed that Ray pretended to sell certain goods to township trustees and received warrants in payment. He indorsed the warrants and sold them to the banks and others. The warrants were never presented to the township trustees because It was discovered they were illegal. The warrants were negotiated four or five years ago. No decision was given by the court yesterday. United. Commercial Travelers. At the Grand Hotel last night a number of commercial travelers assembled to Institute the Indianapolis Council of the Order of United Commercial Travelers of America. Past Supreme Counselor L. C.

Estubrouk. junior counselor; E. W. Wray, past counselor; Bert Alexander, secretary and treasurer; T. M. Thompson, conductor; W. H. Miller, page; W. 11. Shilling, sentinel. The order is a secret beneficiary organization composed of commercial travelers, as its name indicates, in addition to the usual objects of fraternal societies, there is a feature providing for a fund to indemnify members for death or disability from accident. Another object is to secure just and equitable favors from hotels and transportation companies. One object is to assist the widows and orphans of deceased members. Lee Feiller’* Enterprise. Lee Feiller found Seymour Botkin’s horse and wagon standing alone and unprotected on East Wabash street, near Alabama street, last tug!it, and drove it to the rear of a restaurant at No. 117 North Alabama street. He went into a shed, broke into the ice box and took out eighty pounds of meat and three chickens, lie put these in the wagon and was driving away when Botkin's friends spied him and stopped him. Bicycle Patrolmen Schrotnier and Hauser had been called to investigate both the stealing of the meat and tlui horse and wagon. They returned the meat to the restaurant, though It was somewhat muddy, and tHe horse and wagon to Botkin and put Feiller behind the bars. At Chapman Dost.

It has been impossible for Mr. Knox at any time this season to make a complete table on account of the carelessness of the captains of the different teams or the one charged with sending in the scores. In the figures given below nearly all the clubs are complete, and the figures are for the fortysix games played.. The Crescents have not sent to him yet their scores for the games this past week, so the figures for that club represent but forty-four games. The scores of the games by the Deweys for this last week and the week before have not yet been sent in, so their figures only represent forty-two games. Therq has been a general complaint by the members of the Tenpin Leaguo of discrimination against their clubs by the newspapers, but the sole trouble has been that the captains are so negligent about sending in their scores that it has been at no time possible to make a complete table. In spares made the clubs rank as follows: Columbia, 1,862; Star, 1,702; Oneida. 3 695; Columet, 1,630; National, 1,589; Dewey, 1531Metropolitan, 1,491; North Side, 1,426: Crescent, 1 37u; Comus, 1,361. The standing of i strikes is as follows: Coiumbia, 956; Star, 910; Calumet, 907; Oneida, 899; National, 8L8; Metropolitan, 783; Dewey, 762• Crescent, ,29; North Side, 726; Comus, 680. I lie total number of pins made aud average for each club in as follows: ~ , . . Total.

There is no longer any question as to the winner of the championship in the Indianapolis league, and the Washingtons will end tho season in first place. The total pins and the averages of the clubs are as follows: Club. Total pins. Ave. Washington 50,217 1 477 Ia 49,320 1,451 c 49,071 1.443 Marion 48,940 1 439 f; T.

Bowling; Notes. If Hardle does not get nervous he will probably Stay in front next Friday night. Ilardie now leads Mueller by one-hundred-and-seventy-three nine-hundred-and-eighty-sixtbs. The games next Friday night will close the season for the Indianapolis Bowling League. August Buschmann, of the Pastimes, has as swift a delivery as any bowler in the I. B. I-ieague. The Music Verein of the German House and Ihe i. B. C.’s bowled last night on the German House alleys. The Marions and I. B. C. deserve to stand higher in the race when the pin average is taken into consideration. The Pastimes and I. B. C. had trouble to get out their teams for last Friday night. Each club had to put in a substitute. The Capital City team has been the most enthusiastic in the league this season, which accounts for its present standing in the race. The Capital City and 1. T. V. will fight it out for third place next Friday night. The Lyras will win either second or third place sure. It has been noticed that all the bowlers in the 150 class are good spare bowlers. They all bowl from the right side of the alley for a full alley. The T. Ti. C. has not taken the Interest in this tournament that it has in preceding ones. The members rarely practice more than once a week. The Washingtons have not bowled in any tournaments before the present one, and for that reason their victory over some of the older clubs is quite a surprise. Captain Haveliok, of the CapitaFCitys, has done great work with his team this year. Last year his team finished last. This year it will not finish tower than fourth and possibly better. The All-Americans are making a game effort to get away from the bottom of the list. They are now tied with the Old Guards for last place, each having won six games and lost thirty-four. The Lyras have shown decided staying qualities in this tournament. They have been in all the tournaments and never finished lower than second place, where they are likely to finish this year. Captain Bryson’s score of 224 seems to be hard to equal. He will probably win the prize for the high score record. Last week only one player came near it. Fred Wiley, of the All-Americans, bowled 215. New floors are being put in the Oneida alleys und with the new balls and new pins which have been purchased, will combine to make these alleys aa fast as any in the city. The Independent Turner alleys have held this place this season, but they now have a rival. Carl Von Hake, of the Lyras, and Hardle, of the Washingtons, have done the best bowling in the league in the last six weeks. If the tournament was to last a few more weeks it is the opinion of many that Von Hake would finish as high as ever. He Tins never been lower than third in the former tournaments. The Artillery ’s “Embalmed” Reef. George F. Kuhn, late commissary sergeant of the Twenty-seventh Indiana Battery, is in receipt of a letter of thanks from General Miles for information furnished by him relative to "embalmed beef,” Issued to the troops in Porto Rico. The letter, which was signed by Brig. Gen. J. O. Gilmore, asked that Kuhn advise the army authorities where the "embalmed beef,” issued to the artillery brigade, was buried. A Famage at Arms. Washington Post. People are smiling about town at the little passage at arms which took place between two young women at a luncheon the other day. One of the women is a beautiful blonde, a bride, and she comes from the South. I won't tell you who the other woman Is. but the bride met her first at the aforesaid luncheon, met her. and shaking hands in her characteristic cordial way, said; "I’m so glad to meet you. You have afforded me so much amusement." "Amusement?” said the other. "O, yes," went on the bride. “I’ve been through my husband’s desk and I’ve read all his old love letters. 1 found several very warm and affectionate letters from you. and I enjoyed reading them ever so much.” “I’m so glad you enjoyed them,” purred the other. “But do come to see me very soon. 1 have the answers to all those letters, and you might like to read them. Mr. X.’s letters are ever so much wanner and more affectionate than those I wrote him. I know you'll enjoy reading them ever so much more than you did mine.”

WAYS OF THE FILIPINOS ♦ ■ THE SMELLS AND THE SOUNDS OVERPOWERING TO NEWCOMERS. A Carious Study of Native Character. Ist lea by tv Long-Tiro® American. Resident of the Islands. Gifford Knox, in Springfield Republican. In obtaining a knowledge of the Isins Filipinos, that which first appeals to the visitor is the peculiarity of smells and the diversity of sounds. It is not the sights, but the odors and the din. You meet both as you land at Manila or Cavite, and they come upon you with a distinctness that is positively startling. The first remark that the visitor makes is, “Whew! How it smells!” The second is like unto it, "Gracious! What a noise!" The American or Euroj>ean hardly knows enough of the life of the islands to enter at all fully into the many causes which produce these strange results; but some of them lie quite near the surface. The sounds are not musical. The smells are not those of spicy Isles and delicacy of aroma. In the first place, there is the odor of smoke. Something Is burning. Perhaps you think of forest fires, of burning prairies. It isn't that; but it is fuel indeed. That odor is smoke, sure enough. Not of wood or charcoal, but the scrapings of the stables, the sweepings of the streets molded into flat cakes and dried in the sun on the walls of the houses. An Irish turf fire is Araby-blessed in comparison. At sunset invariably a heavy cloud of smoke rises near the houses, whether in the vallages or in the country, and this taint is upon the atmqsphcre till it is renewed the following evening. But smell again. More smoke. Tobacco smone. Not grateful or fragrant. You hear about the Filipino tobacco and about the grandeur of the Spanish tobacco monopoly,” but you must see it smoked by the natives to appreciate it. It is coarse and rank, and with sundry other herbs the leaves are steeped in black molasses to prepare them for the pipe. Go about In the villages and you find men smoking. There is a circle of them—seven or a multiple of seven, "for luck.” Seven, fourteen, or, more rarelv, twenty-one, Tagals, Chinese and Negritos, sitting to smoke Ihe pipe (there is but one for the circle) has a bowl that holds nearly or quite a pin*. and *® fninished with a reed stem. They speak of ft as their "beloved.” and squatting around it they pass the filthy stem from mouth to mouth, with clockwork precision, round and round ihe circle. The bowl rests upon the ground between them, and there is no quarreling or greediness as the pipe is enjoyed. On it goes for hours, the men talking together and grunting and laughing. As they smoke the smoke arises, dense and black, enveloping the group. The odor is indescribably disagreeable, and once in the atmosphere it. mixes with that of the burnt manure, and you breathe its redolence every step you take. A LASTING ODOR. The odor of the smoke naturally attaches to the persons of the smokers; but that is not the worst thing about It. A Filipino is an 111-smelling creature. Take a sniff, and with the tobacco odor you get that of glies and mustard in combination- Now there Is nothing more assertive to the nose than the nastiness of ghee and mustard oil. The former Is apt to be rancid, and the oil is the most pungent stuff imaginable. The uses of the oil are various; with it, burning in an open cup. the native lights his dwelling, with It he salutes the shrines of his worthy ancestors. Then, he uses it freely-very freely—for personal polishing. Iso matter

what tribe is referred to—they all do it—thev lave their faces with mustard oil at least once a day. Asa brown skin naturally contains more oil than a white one, the sun’s action upon, it after it lias been anointed with mustard oil is far from pleasant. And the average native is not much addicted to the use of soap and water. It Is told that the Spanish women have sometimes "insisted” on the bath and that when the servants appeared from the balneological operation they were smiling and happy with the soap smeared over their faces. Then there are the garments of the natives. In the first place these always look ancient. You can hardly find a new-look-ing garment In the Islands. It is considered personal policy to wear them until they drop to pieces. Then, when something new must he provivded, the substitute is well greased before it is donned. The linen, of course, always looks quite white; but the rest of the clothing always looks ancient, and as invariably smells so. And, somewhat ridiculously, the Filipino whose clothes are the filthiest is as vain over it as a child with anew frock. Nature takes a hand, and mixes in her sweet smells. This adds variety. The same heat that Intensifies the smell of the smoke and grease also assimilates that of the woods and fields. There is a peculiar spicy smell from teak and molave, ipel, dongon, and other native trees. Add to these the rich odors of the mangoes, orange Dowers and rosea in their long-extended season, and —with the whiff of the smoke—ihe air actually seems heavy with olfactory emulations. As you lie awake at night with ti e windows of your apartment open, you drink in the sweet scents from he cone-like bunches of bloom upon the mango trees, from the pale lilac blossoms of the abundant azederaeh. and irom he queer green and yellow blossoms of the sirls hush. ENFORCED INSOMNIA. But, mind you, we do not lie awake for the sake of the delicious lTraug.it of flow ers mingled with smoke. The insomnia Is unavoidable for another and very evident reason. There Is not another noisier place in the world than a Filipino villa.<e. The natives sit up all night to chatter, and now and then to blow a horn, rattle dishes, and make a general hub bub. From sunset to near midnight the silence *r.'ght almost merit the name. But men it begins, and It bedins the rest if the night. Malays cannot do anything without noise. To hear two or more of them together and to see their frantic gesticulations, one might imagine them in a fierce quarrel, which might at any time lead to blows; but no, it is merely amicable bawling, "the way" of the people. We call It chatter, but where there are any number of the people together it is a howl, roar and bustle, like Bedlam let loose. There is no occasion for the uproar, and the whole thing is needless. Every conversation is like a discussion, and the tones which engage in it are shrill and discordant. A Filipino talks more rapidly than an Italian cr a Frenchman, and his loud talk is accompanied with violent gesticulations. Invariably the remarks are prefaced with "Oh, Übaduhr," "O. Hamaean, "O, Y'asidexis." or whatever the name of the person addressed. Here is Swibba Serexis Sebariniki at Hau Fartinelll Banacherid’s stall trading, and as they trade each repeats the other’s name In full with every sentence uttered. So with the smokers, each howls out. his fellow’s name as he converses—and every name la formidable. These natural sounds are supplemented by some of the most hideous that artifice ever suggested. The artificial sounds are soon familiar to the ear, such as that ot the little native drums called tom-toms, which are beaten everywhere on all occasions, night and day. Then there are the pipes—shepherd's pipes, or bagpipes, if you will agree to call them so. Two reeds, about *•vn feet long and perforated much like a flute, are held to the mouth and blown through alternately, making a noise loud, wlid and lugubrious. Make any Inquiry and you are solemnly assured that the natives are “onlv practicing. At night, however, it is "111 luck ’ to indulge In the use or the pipe or tom-tom, and Instead, to "keep the night spirits away," the average citizen blows occasionally on his sacred shell, which he calls a sunk, and which makes a noise that sinks all others for the moment. NATIVE MUSIC. But the drum, shell-horn and pipe are not. in popular estimation, instruments of musio. If the visitor e**re? to inquire about these, he is ant to be waited on by a "band. There are generally nine men In it, and they wear a peculiar head-dress, consisting of folds of calico over the head and around the throat. They come to "give a sere-

nade,” and sitting close together on the ground they sing first in unison, in a wild and plaintive key which might be called sad and sweet. You get tired of this after a little, and perhaps fall to wondering why there stands a. beer keg behind each singer. But presently the man at the left snaps hig fingers, and all together the singers put their hands behind them and thump upon the goat-skin heads of the kegs, which are nothing more nor less than drums. For a few minutes there is a horrible din, and then there appears a tenth man in the background with an enormous brazen trumpet nearly as long as himself. The drumming stops and he blows two most terrific blasts, just two, but excruciating to American ears. These sounds are prolonged, and cause the trumpeter considerable effort. As he finishes his second blast he stands erect and stiff, the trumpet by his side.Then appear two banjoists with fourstringed banjoes, the lower part made of a gourd and the strings passed through glass beads. They are played on quite melodiously’ for perhaps two minutes. Then trumpeter and banjoists retreat and the singers resume. The same order is gone through with again and again, a "serenade” lasting at least three hours. Such a "concert" occurs nearly every evening in almost all of the villages, and the hour when it commences is 11. Meanwhile there is an animal and bird chorus in full blast. All through the heat of the day the quiet of the country is very singular, and seems to add to the oppressiveness of the heat. Almost the only singing bird that is heard is a species of blackbird, whose voice, less sweet than that of his kind in this country, is heard from morning to night, intermittlngly. At the earliest morning hour the crows are in evidence. They are splendid fellows, with shining, glossy plumage, black legs and beak. They are very tame, and appear about the doors like so many black hens. After sunrise they disappear, but they raw incessantly alt through the morning twilight. At night they return, but aside from the flapping of their wings, are very quiet. But now the pigeons are heard. You have not seen one all day, but from sunset until dark their peculiar booming note makes monotony monotonous. In the wet season there is some relief, for then the frogs are vociferous. They are yellow reptiles, and so numerous that every pond and ditch i crowded with them until the water looks like Scotch broth full of vegetables. The mosquitos are out of the same pools, and their irritating hum. although not exclusively Filipian, is heard too often to be left out of the catalogue of sounds. In the darkness a thousand bats course through the air. now and then making a snappy squeal. Wild cats from the country come into the villages, and mew dolorously. The goats and pigs bleat and grunt noeturnally. The carabao awakes at uncanny hours, and calls hoarsely. The kites utter long-drawn and thrilling cries*. Swarms of rats, black and gray, Infest every apartment, and peculiar slimy insects crawl about. u . , . Adding sound to sound, and multiplying smell by smell, no one who has been in the islands ran recall vividly to mind his experiences, or relate them to ills friends, without remembering at the same time the atmosphere of smells and sounds. It is not what is to be seen or felt. Scenery and heat, rainy season and flowers, are not the attraction and vexation that compare with the hubbub and the apology for perfumes. KITTENS GIVE CONSUMPTION. So Says a Physician Who Attended an \ll in k Angora. Boston Herald. I have received a communication from an eminent Boston physician which deserves publication, but which for lack of space I must onlv quote here in part. Just before Christmas the wire of this gentleman, while purchasing some Brazilian parrots, had her interest and compassion excited by one of a number of Angora kittens in the same place, and after reflection bought the poor thing at a price that warranted the establishment of a cat farm. When the animal arrived home the doctor discovered that in spite of its long silky hair there was very little cat, and ventured to remark to his wife that it was s&ek. but she assured him it was a question of stravation and had usage, the antmal having had nothing to eat. and having been at short Intervals dragged by ft* head or its tail from the cage for Inspection. Bo the little thing was affectionately adopted by the family. But its appetite was below par. and, although fed with great cure on cooked milk. it gradually pined away in spite of careful nurulng and watchtng. including two nights’ sleepless vigil of the doctor and his wife beside its couch. Medical curiosity prompted the former to makd an autopsy, when it was found that

th© animal had died of consumption of the Kings. Both these organs wore studded with miliary tubercles, and It had evidently been suffering for a long time. The disease was probably inherited. My correspondent then say* that while Angora cats are delicate and especially sub* ject to tills disease, and doubtless many of them die from what is supposed to be exposure, it is merely quick consumption. But the great mischief lies here. The disease is well known to be both hereditary and contagious, and this very kitten is liable to have communicated this disease to all other kittens In its society, s w'ell as to the other animals, like guinea pigs and rabbits, creatures who are especially susceptible to it. Therefore, when any one buys an animal where the greatest care is not taken for its physical condition, one may bring into the family a whole focus of disease which is liable to be communicated to little children or other members who kiss and pet the poor, sick thing, not knowing the terrible risk which is run. It behooves every purchaser of any such pet to be sure w-hen it is bought that it is plump, well nourished, and, as tar as can be ascertained, free from the seeds of this most dangerous and contagious disease.

Th© Resnlt of Imperfect Digestion of Food. Every living thing, plant or animal, contains within itself the germs of certain decay and death. In the human body these germs of death (called by scientists Ptomaines), are usually the result of imperfect digestion of food; ths result of indigestion or dyspepsia. The stomach, from abuse, weakens, does not promptly and thoroughly digest the food. The result Is a heavy, sodden mass which ferments (the first process of decay) poisoning the blood, making It thin, weak and lacking in red corpuscles; poisoning the brain, causing headaches, pain in the eyes. Bad digestion weakens the heart, causing palpitation and tinally bringing on disease of this very important organ. Poor digestion poisons the kidneys, causing Bright's disease and diabetes. And this is so because every organ, every nerve depends upon the stomach alone for nourishment and renewal, and weak digestion shows itself not only in loss of appetite and flesh, but in weak nerves and muddy complexion. The great English scientist, Huxley, said the best start in life is a sound stomach. Weak stomachs fail to dlgem food properly, because they lack the proper quanlty of digestive acids (lactic and hydrochloric) and peptogenie products; the most sensible remedy in all cases of indigestion, is to take nfter each meal one or two of Stuart * Dyspepsia Tablets, because they supply in a pleasant, harmless form all the elements that weak stomachs lack. The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will cure any form of stomach trouble except cancer of the stomach. They increase flesh. Insure pure blood, strong nerves, bright eye and clear complexion. because all these result only from wholesome food well digested, Nearly all druggists sell Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablet* at V) cents full slxed package or by mall by inclosing price to Stuart Cos..
