The question of the payment of royalties to official; connected with the Methodist Book Concern Is ono of the matters which ia expected to brins out considerable discussion and much feeling at the coming convention of the Epworth League In this city. The last time the book committee met In New York, last February, it decided that all royalties must ceiio. Several of the offlclals have been getting royalties for their extra literary labors. The Itev. Dr. Kdwln A. Schell, general secretary and the chief executive officer of the Ipworth League, la one whose royalties have been the subject of long and heated debates. The Itev. Dr. Joaeph F. Berry, editor of the Epworth Herald. Is another who has been fortunate enough to receive royalties. It Is eald also that the Rev. Dr. II. C. Jennings, Western publication agent of the book concern, has been receiving not royalties, but pay for organizing summer schools. All three officials were affected by tho action, of th book committee. It was decided by the committee that no officer, receiving a salary through the book concern, as officers of the league do, should receive any other emolument. It la claimed however, that the real cause of the passage of the resolution was that Dr. Schell has been making too much money out of a hymnal that he edited, and which la In the hands of nearly every one of the l,dO"o members of the Epworth League. The Methodist Book Concern is the publisher of the hymnal, and has signed a contract to pay Mr. Schell a royalty on every copy of It. Dr. Schell's friends say that tho action of the book committee is unjua and arbitrary, nd has the effect of discouraging literary labors. Some of them asA-rt that the committee hnd In znirwl a new book by Dr. Hchell, the manuscript of which is In the hand of the Eastern publication housn of the Methodist Book Concern. Dr. Soh'll has stipulated that its acceptance raujt be preceded by an agreement id pay him a royalty on the book. In the meantime the royalties that have accrued on the hymnal pinco Jin. 1 are to be withheld from Dr. Schell. and some of his enemies have threatened tf take the matter before the board of control of the Epworth league at the convention in this city. July in an effort to make that body sanction the action of the committee. Those who champion the cause of Dr. Schell eay that h? has as much right to receive pay for h'.s literary labors as a minister would have to receive pay for officiating at the dedication of a church. They ray that Itev. Dr. Louis Curts Is a member of one of the firms of publishers of the Methodist Book Concern, and that he has been in great demand at church deductions and has been receiving pay for these services.

Noyes, teacher in the Manual Training High School at Si) a year. A resolution was offered which declared that all vacancies are now filled and all contingencies are provided for and the board would therefore make no more appointments of teachers. An explanation of the resolution was requested, and Superintendent Goss stated that it was nothing but a pledge of faith, as all places have been filled, and he did not think any teachers should be appointed without professional advice. The resolution was intended to prevent any action until he should return from Europe. The members did not take kindly to the suggestion and the resolution was laid on the table. The board decided to charge a fee of 11 to all who desire to take the examination for teachers' licenses, and Superintendent Goss was authorized to appoint some one to conduct the examination for the Manual Training High School, which will be held on Aug. 26.

And Now Mrs. Sullivan Has a Strange Baby on Her Hands. A woman, who did not give her name and who was supposed to be deaf and dumb, called yesterday afternoon on Mrs. Anna Rochford, No. 1017 English avenue, and asked permission to leave her baby at the houso until she could go to the depot and get some baggage. Mrs. Rochford gald she could not take care of the child, and the woman then left, going to the home of Mrs. Hannah Sullivan, at Meek and Pine streets. Mrs. Sullivan readily took in the babe and cared for it. So long was the stranger in returning that Mrs. Sullivan suspected that the woman was not coming back and notified the police. The woman had not been found late last night. The police, from their Investigations, do not think the woman is either deaf or dumb, but so pretended that she might more easily get rid of the child. R. STATE GROCERS' TRUST CLAIMED CHICAGO AND CINCINNATI COMPETITION NECESSITATES ONE. Plan of the Minnesota and Iovra Orsranlsutlon to be Followed. i ' The formation of what may be an Indiana gorcers trust is now in prospect, with the object of controlling the trade of Indiana against the competition of outside wholesale grocers. The new organization will be built on the structure of the present Indiana Wholesale Grocers' Association, which will be absorbed into the new organization by development rather than by Its disorganization In favor of the new association. An early meeting will be held in this city to discuss the pooling of issues for the benefit of the entire trade. The immense wholesale houses of Chicago and Cincinnati have been the means of cutting oft a large part of the trade of the Indiana wholesalers, and the recent organization of Minnesota and Iowa grocers Is the incentive for the formation of the Indiana association. At present the Indiana grocers organization is of a purely protective character, but the new agitation will be along the lines of establishing a headquarters in Chicago, from which inroads may be made into the field of the big Chicago houses. In an interview with William Kothe last night the information was given that the ultimate outcome of the agitation would be the formation of either an Interstate or a national grocers' association, having in view the allotment of territory, the reduction of expenses .and the simplifying of transactions with producers and manufacturers. While Mr. Kothe would not say so. the largest part of the plan undoubted ly involves the dismissal &t a host of travel ing men, who are necessary under the present competition in a common field. According to Mr. Kothe Indiana has a greater need for such an organization than almost any other State, from the fact that the State is filled with small wholesalers, and the organization of similar associations in other States will virtually compel Indiana men to follow the same course. He is of opinion that the organization of the Westcm grocers will compel the Eastern men to follow, with the result that a national organization is in sight. David Coffin, the secretary of the association, has been instructed to request the Iowa trust to send to the Indiana association a copy of its articles of organization, together with such other data along general lines as will enable the Indiana men to effect a suitable organization. 4 Another Blor nt 4Driiinner. CHICAGO, June 23. A combination, similar to that recently organized by Iowa Jobbers, is said to have been formed bysome of the most prominent wholesale grocers of Minnesota for the purpose of buying goods in large quantities and thus placlne themselves in a position better to compete with Chicago concerns. Full details of the new organization, of which Mr. Cooper, of Griggs. Cooper & Co., of St. Paul, is said to be the prime mover, have not yet been decided on. It is asserted that the combination will reduce expenses materially by dismissing about half of the traveling men employed by the individual houses. Other reductions in expenses will be made possible by the combine and the increased margin of gain will be of material benefit in the active competition with Chicago Jobbers. MAYOR'S MIND CHANGING. He Will Proliablr Be Candidate After All, The recent reiteration by Mayor Taggart of his determination, formed long ago, not to run a third time for the mayoralty, has been the means of renewed pressure being brought to bear upon the Democratic chief to compel him to change hl3 mind and again be a candidate. Ills friends claim while there is nothing but a general denial of his Intention of running a third time to be obtained from the mayor, he let fall a few words during a conversation last night which showed that he thought party lines are being drawn on him to compel him to head the ticket. The Democratic leaders fear that in case ho refuses to run there is no certainty that he will be able to throw his personal support to the man who does receive the nomination. In discussing the prospective Republican candidates Mayor Taggart admitted that Daniel M. Ransdell would be dangerous to the Democratic ticket and that it would require extraordinary strength to defeat him. This has been presented to him as the judgment of the Democratic leaders and has caused Mayor Taggart some uneasiness, Inasmuch as he considers himself under obligations to the party for having given him the honors from two terms o office, and when the matter Is presented as it la being presented, in the light of both an appeal and a demand, the mayor says he confesses hU inability to withstand the pressure. Iwist night he would go no further than to say that he was being driven into a third campaign, but that personally his wishes were to retire from politics In order to attend to hi business, which always suffers when he is rot able to give it his personal attention. It is felt, therefore, that the public avowal of Mayor Tasgart's candidacy within the next few days will be no surprise to many who know his present circumstances. Miss WlRht'n Piano Recital. Miss Mary Josephine Wight's piano pupils gave a recital yesterday afternoon at her studio. No. CI 7 North Delaware street.

U will be on a large scale.

AN ADDRESS ON HEALTH

ISSUED TO PEOPLC OF THE STATE DY MEDICAL SOCIETY. Refers to Tnbercnloala and Smallpox Precautionary Measures l'rged by the Society At a recent meeting of the State Medical Society it was decided to issue an address to the people of the State, and a committee was appointed for that purpose. The address has been completed and is on the subjects of tuberculosis and smallpox, as follows: "It has ever been the duty and the pride of the medical profession to try to protect the public against unavoidable diseases, bodily Injuries and unsanitary methods and conditions of life. The physician has always been taught, and the true physician has always acted upon the conviction, that he was the guardan of the public health, and that his constant endeavor should be to prevent as well as to cure disease. The Indiana State Medical Society, now gathered in Its fiftieth annual meeting, having heretofore repeatedly, as the times seemed to Indicate, exerted Its Influence to promote the public health, and, being mindful of its continuing duty in. this respect, feels called upon to address the public upon the prevention of two most serious diseases, smallpox and tuberculosis', the one the pest of the last century, but now happily avoidable by well-known means, the other the present but not hopeless scourge of our race. The State Medical Society fells warranted and impelled to address to the public the following propositions concerning tuberculosis: "First That tuberculosis is caused by certain knovn germs. "Second Jiat, while heredity may In many Instance furnish a favorable soil for infection, in a iarge proportion of the cases the disease is acquired after birth. "Third That the germs are present and demonstrable m the products thrown off from the seat of disease in men and animals. "Fourth That these germs may, especially within doors, retain their life and virulence for a long time, being demonstrably capable of reproducing the disease. "Fifth That while In most cases it is impossible, on account of the insidious development of the disease, to demonstrate the exact time and place of infection, the fact of sucn Infection Is unquestionable. "Sixth That by proper and simple means, thoroughly carried out, to prevent the scattering of these living germs from men and animals, the danger surrounding persons and animals so affected, and the spread of disease to others, may in large measure be prevented. "Seventh That a rational manner of life, as regards the simple, fundamental factors of health and development namely, food, rest, avoidance of nervous overstrain and abundance of pure air, especially during childhood and youth, will do much to fortify the body against tubercular infection. "Eighth That the society does, upon the basis of these facts, invite and urge the public to Join with the physicians and sanitary boards of the State in instituting and carrying out the rational measures having these happy ends In view." On the question of smallpox the address says: "First That the ordinary sanitary measures, thoroughly applied, though of the highest valuo and by no means to be neglected, have nevertheless not proven sufficient to control the spread of smallpox. "Second That in vaccination and revacclnation, accurately and thoroughly applied, there is an almost absolute preventive of smallpox. "Third That though with the lapse of years, after successful vaccination, the protective influence may decline and smallpox may be contracted, tho disease is robbed of most of Its dangers. "Fourth That, properly applied, under the direction of competent physicians, vaccination is attended with but insignificant risks, the disease-preventing and deathpreventing effects vastly outweighing such risks "Fifth That, upon the basis of these convictions, the State Medical Society does invite and urge the public to a full confidence in the preventive value of vaccination against smallpox, and does urge the public to relax in no direction its vigilance in the carrying out of this disease-preventing and life-saving measure." Infected Article Darned. The State Board of Health yesterday received a report from Valparaiso that all infected bedding and clothing has been burned. The rooms in the dormitory in which smallpox cases were have not only been disinfected, but all other rooms In the buildings have been treated to a cleansing of formaldehyde. Ten cases have developed since June- 21, but all are mild and have been Isolated. Moved to the Isolation Hospital. The family of Mrs. Mary Ritchie, colored, of 827 Oak street, was removed to the Isolation hospital yesterday on orders given by the city Board of Health. Mrs. Ritchie has the smallpox in a mild form, and her daughter Helen is also slightly affected. The other members of the family, four In number, have been exposed, but have not as yet taken the disease. DEATH OF MISS WILES. She "Was a Daughter of the Late William M. Wiles. Miss Nellie Wiles, who had been critically 111 of spinal meningitis and typhoid fever for several weeks, died yesterday noon at the Delano. Miss Wiles had spent almost all her life In this city and was a graduate of the High School. She was a daughter of William M. Wiles, who was at one time treasurer of this city, but who died in 1SSL Her mother died five years ago and the only surviving member of tho family Is a sister. Miss Winifred Wiles.

He was thirty-nine years of age and leaves a wife and two children. The interment took place yesterday. Effect of Mortgage Exemption. The effect cf the new mortgage exemption law In this county is to take off about J3,8G0.0O) of taxablo property and to cut the county out of about $66,000 in taxea About persons have taken advantage of the law in Marlon county. Auditor Smith says th.'.t the law has not in a single instanc brought out mortgages which were concealed from taxation, as it was supposed it would do when it was passed. Over 90 per cent, of the mortgages are held by building and loan associations, or by the school fund and ouulde individuals, who cannot be reached by the assessors. Every mortgage held b: a local resident was returned for taxation. Tax Commissioner Buskirk thinks the increase in assessments will balance the deductions made by reason of the law. He believes the deduction will amount to JCO.000.MO. Light and Tower Men Flffht. Benjamin Glanders, 1313 Relsner street, and Oliver West, 331 West South street, employed at tho Indianapolis Light and Power Company, fought yesterday afternoon, and both are under arrest charged with assault and battery.

A GOOD LOOKING FRENCH COUNT ADVERTISING FOR A WIFE. Ilia Circular Answered by an Indianapolis Man, Who Wrltea a. Snappy Letter A gentleman of this city who has traveled abroad has recently received from his French courier a circular that may be of interest to American young ladies of wealth. The circular Is neatly printed and explains Itself, and It also elves one an Idea of a foreign custom, of which persons In this country have almost no inkling, except it might be in the foreign marriages which seem 90 numerous. Below is given the contents of the circular and the answer which the Indianapolis man sent in reply. The circular says: "I am intimately acquainted with a count, who is a member of one of the oldest and best families of France. He is possessed of a large estate with chateau, and has private means. Having expressed to me in confidence that he was desirous of contracting a marriage with a young American lady of means. I have seized the occasion to acquaint my numerous and influential clients of this fact, hoping that if they should perchance know of an American Catholic lady of good means, who would like to enter Into this contract, they would at once correspond with me or put me in correspondence with her family, in order that I might arrange a satisfactory union. He is good looking and appears much younger than he really is, being only about forty years of age." Following la the reply the Indianapolis man forwarded: "I have your circular letter acquainting your clients of the fact that a man with a handle to his name of 'count' Is desirous of adding to his income by a marriage with a 'young American lady of meansu Of course, we have Eoroe very foolish women in this country, foolish enough to trade their money for a title. But in my opinion none but a very foolish American young woman would do so. "You say your 'count Is only about forty years old and good looking. There are many good-looWng young men in this country, who are much better calculated, by their bringing up and similarity of tastes and with American ideas, to make an American young woman happy, and we think no sensible young woman would turn slde from such young men merely to marry a wornout 'count. I certainly should not advise any young woman of my acquaintance, either poor or rich, to take up with your 'count.' as I feel certain that she would find the 'count no ac-count."
