A Test to Find Whether He Really Could It end. John W. Miller, a city fireman, was on trial again yesterday before the Board of Public Safety, a new charge having been added to those preferred against him by William Ritchie, the father of his divorced wife. The Millers were divorced last March, the wife procuring the decree. In May her father filed charges against Miller and he was brought before the. board. These charges were to the effect that Miller could neither read nor write and would not pay his debts. In the trial it was sought to show that Miller had been guilty of unusual brutality toward his former wife. The prosecution desired to prove this by people who were familiar with the evidence brought out in the divorce trial, but the beard declined to accept this kind of testimony. As to the charges of illiteracy and Miller's failure to pay his debts, the board did not think they were sustained and Miller was acquitted. A few weeks later, It appears, a mys terious thing happened. One day Edward H. Davis, clerk of the Safety Board, left hl3 desk to go fnto an adjoining room to attend a short meeting" of the board. When he returned to his desk he found a document that contained a record of the evidence In the Miller divorce trial so far as it related to the husband's alleged brutal treatment of his wife. The document was signed by Mrs. Miller, Dr. Stucky and Judge carter, who heard the evidence in tne case. It was turned over to the boara ana was found to contain the evidence that the prosecution had sought to introduce at the trial of Miller before tne ooara. une aocument bearing the seal of the court, the board frit that It could not overlook the things set out and Miller was suspended pending a hearing. The matter was called up yesterday, and after hearing the evi dence of several witnesses the board tootc the case under advisement. James M. Winters, who represents Mrs. Miller in her suit for divorce, represented her and her father at the trial yesterday. Henry Snaan was also present for the for Miller. There was no explanation of how the document containing the divorce case proceedings happened to get before the .Board or safety. Mr. Keaiing cnargea tnat Miller s former father-in-law had a hand in placing it before the board, but this was denied by Ritchie s lawyers. Attorney inters says tnat Mrs. Miner wanted a record of the divorce proceedings for her own use in the event that she should desire to marry again, and she had the record made. She is a member of the Episcopal Church, and. remembering the laws of her church regarding the remar riage of people who have been divorced. sne aeemea it wise to provide nerseir witn some official papers. Mr. Winters said he did not know who carried these papers to tne jjoara or fudiic safety, but he was sura Mr. Ritchie did net. The evidence in the former trial of the case be fore the board was gone over In addition to the new evidence. Miller's divorced wife was present with her father. Miller was married to Miss Ritchie In 1S3S. Prior to her marriage she was a stenographer in the office of Attorney Winters. She testified that while she was em ployed In the law office she took a vacation and left the city. Miller was paying her attention at the time, and while she was away she received several letters from him. After her marriage she learned that he did not write the letters, but had some.one else write for him. Mrs. Miller testifled'that f he did not think her husband could read. She said that while they were living togethershe saw him one night shifting a newspaper about in his hands. Apparently he was reading, but when she looked over his shoulder she saw that he had the paper upeiae aown. wnne on tne witness stand yes terday Miller was handed a copy of the rules regulating? the flr department and was asked to read Section "2i." He did so and Attorney Snaan then took the book and pointed out different words of Section "23" and asked Miller to pronounce them. He was able to do so. and Mr. Spaan Intimated that he had been "practicing" since the nrst trial or the case. Probate Appointments.

To th EdSter cf the Indianapolis Journal: There is a great mass of food for reflec tion for our friends of the Epworth League, as well as for the rest of us, on the first page of yesterday's (Monday's) Journal. There are there reported statements by S. Earle Taylor and others to the effect that many hundreds of persons who have dedi cated themselves to missionary work, and studied for years and prepared themselves for it, cannot then be sent to mission fields because their missionary board lacks money. Mr. Taylor himself and the speaker who preceded him, are of the number of student volunteers who cannot get jo a field of mis

sion work for that reason the lack of mon- !

ey. And the cry from air the speakers was give. give. give. If each member of the church would give each day but the value of a postage stamp or the price of a stick of chewing gum. the money would be more tnan enougn. un the same race of the Jour nal are reported the blowing up, by exploding nitroglycerin or gun cotton, of a street car. loi ded with passengers, on Euclid ave nue. Cleveland, o.. where now. for several days, a mob of persons has been engaged In tne commission or lawless acts of violence: the lynching of three negroes near an oth erwise unknown Georgia-town on Saturday night last; the hunting, by a mob of a hun dred white men. aided by bloodhounds, of five other negroes, somewhere down that way: the firing upon and chasing panicstricken out or town of a party of colored laborers at Tyrone, Ky.; the calling by an Italian newspaper of the attention of the Italian government to the ivnchinsr of five Italian citizens In Louisiana recently; the unlawful killing or a deer by a prominent statesman; the fear of an outbreak of a serious character between lawless factions in Kentucky, and the probaole end to disturbances which, for some days, placed the streets of our greatest city one of the great cities of the Christian world practically in the hands of a mob. It would seem, from this showing of a single day, that we have some savages here at home. Now, while wailing for funds to take them to foreign fields of labor, cannot these well-equlpped-for-the-Master's work young soldiers of the cross strike a blow or two for the cause or order and humanity here at home? It would cost but a trifle to iret down to. say, , Manchester. Ky.. and they do stand gTeatly In need of the gospel down there: of the gospel of Christ that is. they don t need any of Faul. They couldn't understand Paul. Nobody can. But anybody can understand Christ, and the thorough in fusion of His spirit through that region would cure those feuds, sure. So would it disperse a Cleveland mob, and a New York mob, and a Georgia, too; or make them all Impossible. And with a right spirit dominating all the relationships of man with man here in our own land. that spirit of brotherly love which our Epworth mends so ardently long to establish, how much easier and surer of quick success must be their labors when they reach the far foreign field! So thoroughly does the news-gatherer now do his work, and so quickly and widely spread, his budget over the earth that it is not to be supposed that a knowledge of the infamies that daily make us blush for our own land until the roots of our hair wellnigh burn out does not get beyond our own borders. e have a mission in Italy, we are told. It is a fine exhibition of hardihood to go to them with our gospel while we hang, without law. their poor who come to us. Agulnaldo's friends in our midst keen him informed, we know, thereby making our uod-appolnted task there as all the churches seem to hold It the harder. For what tawny race could wish to become our ward while we. with bloodhounds, chase our own through swamps? Paul got on without money except of his own earning, young fellows of the Epworth league. And if down in ueorgia they should kill one of you now and then, why, isn't the blood of the martyr still the seed of the church? For. truly. It might prove to be more dangerous to go to the Southern white man with a message of mercy for the negro than to ko with the gospel to any other quarter of the globe. O. W. SEARS. Indianapolis, July 25. Street Cleaning:. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Most of the day street-cleaning of this city is now being done In complete ignorance of the first principles of the correct conduct of that work. The paramount object to be at talned should not be the removal of dirt. but the subduing of the dust, and to this end we do not make free enough use of water, though, we have two streams and a complete water-works source to draw from. Whatever else Is done, the disgraceful clouds of dust th3t continually swirl through some of our streets should be kept down. Our streets are intended to be traveled upon. and not to furnish respiratory stimulants or depressants, but over great areas of the city it is, as Macbeth says: "To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-mor row. Creeps in this petty farce from day to day. The way to dusty death." The few peripatetic sprinkling carts that make sporadic, weary trips stir up about as much dust as they quiet, because of their lumbering long hauls with heavy-footed ant mals, but not in actual action, and when the water flies it Is only from one nozrle. for fear of wasting the 'precious fluid. If the city is so fortunate as to be visited by a shower the benefit is only short-lived, for just as soon as the rain begins every mem ber of the street-cleaning force goes fishing. or somewhere else, oblivious of the fact that this Is just the time for their kindest of flees to be performed, and the time of all others when the most good can be done with the least labor. It is an indisputable fact that, under the present regime, the harder the rain the dirtier will most of the streets be left. The street-car tracks are full of dust and dry filth all the time, blown hither and thither in clouds by every car or breeze, and when the tracks are filled with water 03 the rain the cars spatter the nitny dust out on the pavements (soon to become fine dust again.) This conglomerated liquid and solid filth pastes the street and clogs the gutters, and dirt-paved alleys drain only the improved streets, and large uuanuu?s 01 eann, ana uuu. ana uquia .. .1.1 . . . l 4311. . .1. . J dead rat and rot are washed out of them. The unpaved street-car tracks are all the time being filled with fresh dirt hauled in and dumped Into the middle of the streets. only to be soon ground out as dust, while a humble tradesman dare not so much as sweep off his sidewalk without fear of ar rest. Many gutters are flat, rough and so nearly dead level that water will not run in them unless there is a young freshet, and as a result, the down-town ones usually look and smell both diabolical and ammoniacal. But the dust Is the worst evil of all. It is the despair of the housekeeper and the sani tarian, for it compels the closing of houses and buildings at just the season when they snouid be wide open, though, alter an, this closure keeps out only the heaviest particles. It Injures goods, clothes, furnishings and furniture, destroys comfort, dulls and dead ens foliage, grass and vegetation, causes'! sore eyes, gets in our food and our lungs, produces ill health and shortens life, because full of disease-producing micro-organisms. The immediate remedy for all this not overdrawn condition is the freer use of water. Better have mud than dust, but it is not necessary to have either. Plain water win do. but if you want one load to go as far as three (as I shall soon show) put salt in it. Salt la one of the nest disinfectants. and should be used for its value in this direction alone. In the London sprinkling carts permanganate of potash is used, one ounce in one hundred gallons, and It Is effective. During a recent visit to San Francisco I was much interested In .the experiments being made by the Merchants' Association of that city in the use of salt water for sprinkling streets, and herewith quote from its report since obtained. "Salt water counteracts decomposition of organic matter in the dirt and refuse, and binds tlm dirt together, so that when It Is dry no loose dust is formed to be raised by the wind; ea water does not dry so quickly as fresh water, so that It has been claimed when salt water has been used that one load of it is equal to three loads of fresh water. The sa't water which is deposited on the street ab sorbs moisture from the air during the night, whereby the street is thoroughly moist during the early morning, and has the appearance of having been freshly spnnkiea. As the streeL-car tracks are the ereat of fenders In the collection of dust and the street cars are the great offenders in Its dissemination, it is but fair that the street-car company should bear some of the burden or work of abating the evil. And all sources of dust or dirt should be carefully looked to by the authorities and measures taken to reduce to a minimum the stock on hand, or Its chance of replenishment. Many of these I have taken note of, but I cannot further lengthen this article by enumerating them. It is enough to say: Keep down the dust f rst. clean up the dirt afterward, and don't rorget tne nneys. w. u. CLARKE. M. D. Indianapolis, July 24. Wnlther League Election. BUFFALO. N. Y..
