To-morrow the "American Beauties" will ojen and occupy the house for the rest of the week. xxx One of the great events of the season at English's Is to take place to-night In the presentation of "The Only Way," a strong dramatization of Dickens's "Tale of Two Cities," by a company of one hundred, headed by Edward J. Morgan and J. II. HtodMart, two of the best-known actors on the American stage. The play will be given again to-morrow night. xxx The Tark Theater orchestra deserves fcpecial mention on account of Its great Improvement this season. Tor many seasons past it has taken high rank among local musical organizations, but this year It Is noticeably better than ver. Frof. Oscar Boecher is tt tit director and "First Violin" and Albert Work handles the slide trombone, but they are assisted by several new and thoroughly competent musicians. xxx "Old Jed rrouty" is a play depicting the peculiar expressions of various characters. homogeneous to Maine, and illustrates In a most natural, yet humorous way one of . tLc most interesting plays of our contemporary stage. "Old Jed Prouty" Is a play, it is also a crude sermon in quaint expressions, and we all understand it.

Evcrham Is not playing his original role in "The Magistrate" at the Grand this week, but one who did not see the comedy when It was first presented on tour about thirteen years ago would not suspect the truth. Mr. Everham played Magistrate Builamy to John T. Raymond's Magistrate Poskett, but In the present production Is doing Poskett and doing the character uncommonly well.

Superintendent Hert on the "Indeterminate Sentence Larr. The Indianapolis Local Council of Women held Its first meeting of the season yesterday, and the attendance was very large. In the absence of the president, Mrs. Nettio Ransford, the meeting was presided over by the vice president, Mrs. Charles M. Walker. The programme was an especially interesting one. and the principal address of the afternoon was delivered by Mr. Alvin T. Hert, warden of the Jeffersonville Reformatory, on "The Indeterminate Sentence Law." Other guests of honor, who spoke on the same subject, were Mr. Scott, president of the National Prison Association, of Massachusetts, Mr. Amos Butler and Miss Sarah F. Keely superintendent of the Girls' Industrial School and Woman's Prison. All spoke very favorably of the indeterminate sentence law, which began as an experiment and is now permanent in most of the prisons in the country. In Indiana alone in the last three years since the Indeterminate sentence has been a law thero have been paroled from the Indiana Refomatory 5C2 and from the State Prison 1S5. Of these only ninety-four have proved unsatisfactory. Forty-two have been returned to Jeffersonville and nine to the State Prison at Michigan Cfty. Of this number onlv four have been resentenced, and only one has been reconvicted to an Indiana institution. A movement has been indorsed by the Local Council to bring before the Legislature a bill asking an appropriation for a woman's building at the state fair grounds Mrs. Mary A. Moody is chairman of the committee having the affair in charge and she was instructed to send out invitations to leading women of the State to attend a meeting in this city during carnival week to make def.nlte plans for such a bulldinir The Agricultural. Board is unanimously in favor of such a building and will donate the ground for a woman's building. Mr. W. W. Woollen made a report on the work of the Audubon Society, which has been organized In Indianapolis since Dec 13. and has an enrollment of 102 members Mr. Woollen said the plan of work for the society was first to look after the birds and then after the home of the birds the trees. He said the society expected to accomplish this by educating the people to love both the birds and trees, and it proposes to do this through the daily press and schools and books on birds. Already he says, children are becoming interested 'and it is with difficulty that books on birds can be procured at the city library on account of the great call for them. Woninu'n ItII-f Corp "Work.

NO IMMORAL EXHIBITS

THE CAItMVAL TO DC EXEMPT FROM OB JE CT I OX ABLE FEATURES. So Say 1'rcnldent Parry of the Fail l'etlrltle Society The Secretary Statement. "We are not going to have any Immoral shows or anything else that is Indecent about the fall carnival so long as I am connected with it." declared D. M. Parry, president of the Carnival Association, last night. "I think the balance of the committee have the same feeling about the matter that I have." "It has been intimated that the Oriental Village, which is to be one of the entertainments in The Magic Circle, will contain the 'dance du ventre,' or muscle dance, as one of its prominent features," was suggested to Mr. Parry. "There will be nothing of that sort," he replied promptly, "and yet that dance, as it was given in Cincinnati, did not contain anything that was immoral. Still, we are not going to have it. If anything of that sort is to be here I don't know anything about it." "If arrangements have been made without your knowledge to have the dance given in the Oriental Village would you order it stopped?" Mr. Parry was asked. "If it is in any way indecent, yes," he answered without hesitation. Mr. Parry was asked further if it is the intention of the carnival managers to show an Oriental village next week. "Why, you have got to have an Oriental village," he said. "But, while it is necessary to have such things, it is not necessary to have them of an obscene character or of an Indecent character. I do not think any of the committee have any inclination to do anything of which they will be ashamed. In fact, it Is our greatest desire to have this thing just right and to please the people, so that we can put the carnival on a permanent basis and have it every fall in Indianapolis." "The suggestion has been made that the country people demand something like the dance du ventre and similar shows," Mr. Parry was asked. "My opinion Is that the country people are just as decent as the city people or any other class of people," he replied. "I was born and raised in the country, and know all about the people." Mr. Parry is sanguine as to the success of the carnival. "Everything Indicates a wonderful turning out of the people to see the big show," he said with a smile. In fact, the railroad people are just a little bit exercised about their ability to handle the crowd in the Union Depot, and they have been making extra preparations for It. The truth is, that next week Is going to demonstrate beyond cavil that Indianapolis must have a larger railroad station." Max R. Hyman. business manager of the carnival, was also approached by a Journal man, but did not quite bear out the vigorous statements and denials made by President Parry. . , . "We are not going to have any immoral shows," he declared, "and no 'faking of any kind. The Oriental Theater in the carnival will be the same as in every other city that has had such an affair Cinclnratl, Louisville or Milwaukee, for example no better and no worse. The dance du ventre which will be given here Is the same dance as was patronized by everybody in Cincinnati the best people of the city, so far as I know. I suppose there are people who object to It. but we can not lasso them and make them go in to see it. The same people. I presume, would object to a waltz. We found a man here who wouldn't rent us ground because we were going to sell cigars. He objected to tobacco. There will be no objectionable features of any kind In the carnival. We cut out a show that every other city has had the Bosco snakeeater, a man who eats snakes alive because' we did not think it would be very elevating. The showmen assured me that it would be one of the best attractions we could possibly secure, that it would pay Ug but I did not think it would be attractive Here Is a list of the entertainments we have secured for carnival week. We will have Lunette or the 'flying lady, Minting, the aerial cyclist, who goes up a spiral sixty-five feet in the air; Chlquita, the smallest midget in the world, cinematograph pictures of the Boer and Chinese wars and of the Galveston disaster, and we will have the German village with the Tyroleans, the Bostock-Ferrari menagerie, the Oriental Theater and Streets of Cairo. The carnival would not be a carnival without those things. They have them in every city. It is the greatest, the bestpaying attraction there is. There is a great difference in vho dances that muscle dance. The American women burlesque it vulgarize Jt. I have never seen an American woman who could dance it as those Oriental women do." CARNIVAL. ARRANGEMENTS. Interest Deine Taken In the Parades Invitations to the Ball. The work of construction of the arches, the approaches to the "Magic Circle," is proceeding at a rapid rate, and it is said all will be in readiness for the opening. Workmen say the curiosity of people who think they must know how it is done greatly delays them. The carnival management has not yet succeeded In finding a man to place the electric lights in the hand of "Miss Indiana," at the top of the monument. The parades are said to be now attracting much more attention than before. The tendency of merchants and organizations to wait to see "what the other fellow is going to do" is being overcome by the management and the work of constructing floats and arranging decorations is being taken up with greater Interest by those who have planned for some time to go Into the parades, and there are many recruits. The offer of nine prizes for the most grotesque individual, organization and feature in the grotesque parade is causing new interest in that feature of the carnival. There was a meeting of several members of the Merchants' Association at the Commercial Club last night for the purpose of discussing the advisability of changing the time of the marchants and manufacturers parade and the grotesque parade of the carnival. Some retail merchants wanted the former parade in the afternoon of Friday instead of in the morning, and the grotesoue parade at night instead of Friday afternoon. The programme committee opposed any change from the advertised programme. George Bliss presided. It was decided it would be best at this late date to make no changes. The Fall Festivities Society is sending cut a large number of the following invitations: "Tecumseh and his braves, assisted by the Red Men of Indianapolis, request the honor of your presence at the carnival masque ball In Germania Hall, Friday evening. Oct. 12. 1900, celebrating the first fall carnival given by the Fall Festivities Society of Indianapolis." The committee which Is making arrangements for this ball promises to have a bis cffalr. Furniture 3Ien'a Plana. During the coming carnival the Indianapolis Furniture Manufacturers Association will have headquarters in the Commercial Club building on South Meridian street for the entertainment of all visiting retail furniture dealers and extends a cordial invitation to all dealers to come direct from their trains to the clubrooms, where they will be met by a committee of the manufacturers and traveling salesmen, relieved of surplus baggage and given an opportunity to rest and remove travel stains. Also a neat souvenir badge will be provided for each visitor. The wives, families and friends of dealers will be welcomed and the association would like to have dealers arrange to meet their friends from other cities In the clubrooms, and make it headquarters during the entire week. Those aefclririK further information should address the association secretary, IL M. Irwin, 201 West Morris street, Indianapolis. Retail Grocers Sleet. The Retail Grocers' Association met last night at Board of Trade Hall and discussed ir.eans of extending the membership. It was decided to interest every retail grocer in the city in the work of the association.

which is growing rapidly. Mr. Lorger addressed the members on "The General Good of the Association." FEHN LEAF CLUB.

A Successful Dance Given at TomUnion Ilnll. The Fern Leaf Club, a social adjunct of Capitol Council, Y. M. I., gave its first dance last night at Tcmlinson Hall. One thousand Invitations had been sent out and when the doors opened last night it seemed that everyone who had received an invitation was present. The hall had been beautifully decorated for the convention of Democratic clubs to be in session there today, and these were used for the dance last night. The floor space was cut down somewhat as the stage was built out several feet and this lessened the space for dancing. No complaints were heard, however, and the dance lasted until early this morning. GRAND LODGE SESSION KNIGHTS OF FYTIIIAS HOLD THEIR MEETI.G IX THIS CITV. ' Grand Lodjce Will Not De Made a. 311eratory Institution A Sub ItoitH Resolution. The Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, in session yesterday at Masonic Temple, practically completed all of the important business before the convention with the exception of the installation of officers elected yesterday. The session will close this afternoon, to meet In this city next year, it having been virtually decided that the making of the Grand Lodge migratory was not practicable. The matter will come up again to-day, but it is said there is no likelihood of the change being made. The session yesterday opened after the work of the credentials committee, which took some time. The reading of reports of officers was the first business. Grand Chancellor J. 12. McDonald, of Ligonier, gave a lengthy outline of his work for the year, reviewing the important communications from subordinate officers and announcing the appointment of John B. Cockrum as a member pf the grand tribunal. He spoke of the proposed orphans home which is being agitated by the Rathbone Sisters, and recommended that action be deferred until the lodge had inquired more fully Into the matter of requirements, expense and need of the institution. In referring to the . endowment rank Chancellor McDonald spoke of the satisfactory condition of the branch, which consists of 195 sections, with a membership of 2,135 and an endowment of 13,184,000. Last year the beneficiaries of deceased members were paid from the endowment fund $16,000, making a total of benefits since the organization of $305,000. Chancellor McDonald also recommended that the real estate at Pennsylvania Street and Massachusetts avenue be not sold at present. The report of Frank Bowers, grand keeper of records and seals, showed the organization of fifteen lodges, with a membership of 2,717, during the last year, making the total membership of the order 42,740. William A. Morris, treasurer, reported the cash balance of the lodge Aug. 21 was 5S.014.4L The committee on the revision of the constitution reported a number of changes which it thought desirable, and the changes were recommended ; by Grand Chancellor McDonald. , Routine business matters and the election of officers took up the entire time during the afternoon. The election resulted as follows: Grand chancellor, Daniel E. Storms, of Lafayette; grand vice chancellor, Charles A. Bookwalter, Indianapolis; gTand prelate, C. A. Tindall. of Shelby ville; grand master at arms, Merrill E. Wilson, of Goshen; grand inner guard. George Powell, Indianapolis; grand outer guard, Frank J. Dunten, of Lagrange; grand keeper of records and seals, Frank Bowers, of Indianapolis; grand master of exchequer, William A. Morris, of Frankfort; trustee, L. A. Barnett, of Danville. Daniel E. Storms, grand chancellor, who succeeds J. E. McDonald, is the only new officer of the Grand Lodge, all others being reelected. There was no pesslon last night, the delegates attending the reception given by the Rathbone Sisters at the Denison Hotel. The work to-day will be largely routine, beginning with the installation of the officers elected yesterday. A resolution was passed about yesterday afternoon for signatures and caused considerable comment. It being to the effect that any member of the Grand Lodge accepting nomination for political office should, by order of the grand chancellor, be discharged from his office m the Grand Lodge. The resolution was signed by about thirty members, but was not presented for vote on adoption, and, it was said, would not be presented to-day. The resolution was drafted for the reason that there has been some complaint of Grand Lodge officers using their positions for the furtherance of their political aspirations. ... RATHBONE SISTERS. Routine Work Took Up the Greater Part of the Day. The first three days session of the Rathbone Sisters in annual convention hero cpened yesterday with a secret meeting at which 150 past chiefs took the temple degree and to which no men were admitted, and closed last night with a reception to the members of the grand lodge at the Denison Hotel. The work of the day was largely routine. There are according to the reports of the officers 234 lodges in the State with a total membership of 12,000. Twenty-six ledges were organized during the last year. All of the lodges are in good standing. The natter of the Orphans' Home for which the order has been actively working was brought up. Miss Lola Calvert, past chief, presented a fancy quilt, which will be disposed of at a voting contest. Only officers of the lodge are eligible to the contest, and to one of the nine officers the quilt will go. The one who receives the most votes at l1) cents each will get the quilt. The contest in causing even more Interest than the election of officers which occurs to-day. Though there are several candidates for offices there is said to be only one prospective contest and that Is for the office of grand chief. Mrs. Carrie N. Fanning, of Butler, and Mrs. Etta Houk. of Westfield, are the candidates for this office. Mrs. Houk is now grand senior and the office of grand chief would be the next higher office. The afternoon to-day will be taken up with the installation of the newly elected officers at the Masonic Hall and ritualistic work, which will close the session. Mrs. Dell P. Glazier, of Ft.

PURE SUPPLY OF MILK

THE SAXITARY 51 ILK COM PAX Y SAYS IT WILL FURNISH IT. The cw Company Set Out Its Plans In Its Articles of Incorporation. The Sanitary Milk Company, of this city, was incorporated yesterday with a capital stock of $150,000. The object of the company is to carry on the business of the production and purchase, sale and distribution of milk an'l dairy products; to own and operate a plant for the pasteurization of milk, the manufacture of milk products of every nature and description, and the sale and distribution of such milk and milk products and in general to carry on a lawful business In furtherance of the objects of the corporation. The directors of the company are: A. S. Lockard, George D. Kahlo, Samuel D. Miller, J. W. Fesler and D. C. Buntin. In the articles of Incorporation the company says: "The increase In the population of the city of Indianapolis has been the means of pushing the dairymen farther and farther away from the consumer while the demand for milk has been steadily increasing. Small nearby towns and district dairymen have been called upon to supply the demand. The nearby dairymen deliver their own milk and act as middlemen for those living at a distance. The distant ones have Inadequate facilities for transporting their milk to the city during the heat of summer and many have been compelled to resort to chemical preservatives to prevent loss. "It Is undoubtedly true, however, that with few exceptions the dairymen fall to appreciate the care that milk should receive at the dairy and until It reaches the consumer. Drawn from the cow by her young as nature Intended, and from a healthy animal, milk is wholesome and comparatively free from bacteria. Exposed to the air of stables in unclean milk vessels and measured out to the patrons in the dust laden streets it is hardly a suitable article of food for the human family. Cows naturally produce about two thousand pounds of milk per year for their young. As a machine in the hands of large dairymen they often produce six thousand pounds (six times their weight.) SUBJECT TO DISEASE. "The task Imposed Is apt to impair their health and they become subject to cattle diseases, such as tuberculosis, lumpy Jaw, anthrax, etc. From the records of the Board of Health It appears that 9 per cent, of the cows that supply milk to the city were affected with tuberculosis when tested. In addition to the disease germs by direct inoculation from the cow, it Is well to consider that milk is a great absorbent and a splendid medium for the development of the pathogenic germs of typhoid, diphtheria, scarlet fever and the like that float In the air and are found in water. Many epidemics have been traced to the milk of single dairies that have become contaminated by bad water or sickness in the dairyman's family. The past Fummer has witnessed a vast amount of sickness caused by the unsanitary condition of the milk supply. The death rate among young children has been exceedingly heavy. The near-by dairymen have been largely blamed for the trouble. Prohibitory laws have been enacted by the city. Dairymen have been arrested, and at their trials it has developed that they obtained their supply from outside sources that were beyond the control of the city Board of Health, and the city was unable to convict. The true cause of all the trouble Is found In the Increase in population, the increasing demand for milk and cream and the inability on the part of the numerous and small dairymen to rnest the growing demand intelligently. "Understanding full well that with the growth of the city conditions cannot improve, that the numerous small dairymen are not in a position to correct the evils, and that the only hope of obtaining a pure supply of milk for the children and adults of the city lies with the consumer, the Sanitary Company of Indianapolis has been organized, not only to supply the citizens with a pure article of milk, but to save tremendous losses to the dairymen themselves sustained during the heat of summer. HOW COMPANY WILL OPERATE. "To prevent losses from sour milk improperly cared for the company will begin at the dairy, over which a careful supervision will always be exercised. The company will have on their staff a competent veterinarian, who will Inspect the cattle regularly. The food of the cattle will be considered, as well as the sanitary condition of the stables. The proper methods of caring for milk from the time it leaves the udder of the cow will also be considered. Any disease in the family of the dairyman will be reported at once. The water used at the dairy will be examined. Proper arrangements will be made for the protection of milk en route to the company's plant. "The location will be close to the Union Depot, convenient for the receipt of milk and distribution to the city. The plans now in the hands of the architect call for a substantial two-story and basement brick structure. The floors and side walls in different departments will be nonabsorbing tile. They can be cleansed readily. The interior departments will consist of a complete power room occupied by duplicate engines, dynamo, compressors for refrigeration, pumps, etc. Also receiving and refrigerating rooms, a laboratory equipped for the testing and examination of milk, a condensing department and a laboratory devoted to the modifying of milk for Infants. The most Improved machinery now in use in other cities for filtering, aerating. Pasteurizing and rapid bottling of milk will be installed. The bottle-washing department will also be rapid and thorough. MILK DELIVERY. "All milk will be delivered in air-tight bottles and conveyed to the consumer by sanitary wagons of the company, properly refrigerated. Every bottle will go out under a guarantee of the company's that the milk contains the full amount of cream, that It Is free from chemical preservatives or adulterants of any kind and that It contains no disease gerrns. The price will be within the reach of all. The company will have under Its direct superintendency a special dairy from which milk will be obtained for the modifying department, which department will be devoted exclusively to the infants of the city of Indianapolis, and largely under the care of physicians. The feed that the cattle receive will be dictated. The company's veterinarian will inspect the cattle regularly. The stables will be kept scrupulously clean. The men will do their milking with clean hands and will don fresh, clean clothes. The udders and flanks of the cows will be washed. Glass-lined milk palls will be used and the milk, rapidly cooled, will be delivered in three hours from the time of milking to the company for modifying. "In many cases infants from birth are denied human milk and cows' milk is substituted. The latter differs from human milk insomuch as it contains more casein, more ash. less albumen and less sugar of milk and is acid in reaction rather than alkyline, as is human milk. Cows milk unmodified is more indigestible to the young child than is human milk. . With the installation of this department by the sanitary Milk Company the physician can prescribe the percentages of fat. sugar of milk and the proteids wanted to meet the varying wants oi eacn cnuu. ine company will fill the prescription and deliver to the consumer ready for use. The results obtained by percentage feeding in other cities, like Pittsburg, lioston. enicago. St. Louis. New York, Detroit, Cleveland and others that have the advantage of milk laboratories have been excellent. The lives of many in fants have been saved and the death rate decreased enormously. The plant completed will give to the city of Indianapolis one that will be equal if not superior to anyill the United States, and will forever solve the problem of a sanitary supply of milk."

R,; Mrs. Dr. Shade, of Philadelphia, national counsel; Mrs. Catherine Hirst, past national commander, of Louisville, and Mrs. Jennie Irwin, department commander, of New Albany, met with five members of the A. D. Strelght Circle. Ladies of the G. A. R., last night, to take action upon the trouble that has existed in the order for many months.

The Elsworth Circle Is a new one and has been organized since the recent disruption of the A. D. Strcight Circle. The rescinding of the charter came unexpectedly, and at a time that elaborate preparations had been made for an enjoyable evening. This circle had 135 members and thirty-five applicants were at the meeting waiting to be initiated. In the ante-room were two big freezers packed with cream and other things scattered about indicated that a spread was to be set for the recruits. The meeting lasted till after midnight and it was a disappointed membership that left the hall without Initiating the new members and with an unquenched relish for ice cream. What is to be done with the A. D. Strelght Circle is not known, as the meeting last night was to have been in the nature of an Investigation, and Judgment was to have been rendered according to the evidence. AUGUSTUS THOMAS HERE THE WELL-KNOWN PLAYWRIGHT WILL SPEAK TO-3IORROW. He Given the Ileal Story of How He Cnme to Write the Play, Alabama. Augustus Thomas, the well-known playwright, the author of "Alabama," "Arizona" and other famous plays, was the most notable arrival from New York last iiight to attend the convention of the Democratic Clubs to-day and to-morrow. Mr. Thomas is on the programme for a brief address to-morrow afternoon. A characteristic remark was made by him last night immediately after his arrival at the Grand Hotel. Handing his overcoat to a bellboy he said, "Take my coat up to my room, toy, and don't step on it unless you have to, and if you find'lt necessary to step on it, step hard." Mr. Thomas cheerfully accorded an interview, though he admitted he was tired after his long journey. He was asked to relate the true story of the peculiar way In which ho happened to write "Alabama." "That happened so long ago eleven years that it has rather an unreal quality lor me now," said Mr. Thomas, "and it had a distinctly unreal, quality at that time. I have always been 60 constituted mentally that I am able to see pictures In the dark, rather vividly, and yet these pictures have a dissolving quality. I usually see them when I am laboring under some great mental stress. The Incidents in question happened when I was living at the. Lambs Club in New York and was in a great deal of sentimental trouble and was also somewhat disturbed over the failure of a play, and Its accompanying 'roasts. I was in such condition that the doctor forbade me going down for my meals. I was lying In my room one night, in the dark, and Ed Holland was playing a tune called 'Down on the Farm on the piano In the room below. I began to see a picture of the old gate described In Alabama. I had quite likely seen It sometime before, but this time I saw it as plainly as any man ever naw a painted picture. As I watched it I saw a tottering, gravhaired man pass through it, stand a moment, and then a girl of sixteen came through and linked her arm In his. I began to speculate about the vision and in a short time found myself weaving a storv about the gate, the old man and the girl. "At first 1 wrote it In the form of a one-act play, to be used as a curtain raiser, but later wrote what are now the first and second acts of the play and made my first little sketch, with some amplification-, the third act. I wrote the entire play In about four weeks in that back room at the Lambs' Club. You will see by what I have told you that the story that Burr Mcintosh was the man whose piano playing created my vision is simply the fabrication of some press agent. I think the way Mcintosh came into the story was because he afterwards played Ed Holland's part In the drama." , CITY NEWS NOTES. Mr. T. H. Wood, of Portland, Ore., is In the city visiting friends.

iron is Tonrurjz. Eczema is caused by an acid humor in the blood coming in contact with the lein and producing great redness and inflammation ; little pustular eruptions form and discharge a thin, sticky fluid, which dries and scales off ; sometimes the skin is hard, dry and fissured. Eczema in any form is a tormenting, stubborn disease, and the itching and burning at times are almost unbearable; the acid burning humor seems to ooze out and set the skin on fire. Salves, washes nor other external applications do any real good, for as long as the poison remains in the blood it will keep the skin irritated. DAD FORM OF TETTER.
