Tho work accomplished during the twelve weeks has been highly recommended by college authorities. It has been work on a par with that of the University of Chicago. The professors, too, are well pleased with tho showing made by the students as a whole. They say the class of students this year is higher than for many years past. Term examinations have been held since "Wednesday and the students will be allowed ten days for Christmas holidays. On "Wednesday closing chapel exercises were held.

The new cars that wero placed on the Irvington line a few days ago were found to be too heavy to make regular schedule trips and Mr. Grant, of the Street-railway Company, ordered them to the Pennsyl vania-street line yesterday. The new cars clelUhted the people who used that line all during the day until last evening when they did not run regularly and they cried for their old cars. The new cars are to provide a seven-minute schedule, but there was much complaint last evening about the irregularity of their running. The Pennsylvania line will run to Washington street, to Meridian, south to Georgia, west to Illinois and return to Washington street. The South Meridian street line will be run Independently hereafter and will pass through the tunnel to Georgia, rat to Meridian, north to Washington and return by Illinois street.

CHANGE FOR THE BETTER

INSTITUTIONS, SHORN OF PARTISAN CONTROL, HAVE DONE WELL. Facts That Will Re Contained In the Report of the State Board of Clinrltles. Indiana's State, charitable and correc tional institutions have received favorable recognition elsewhere. Their progress In the last few years has been notable. The Board of State Charities in its forthcom ing report will say of them: "Generally the work of the state insti tutions has run smoothly and their efficiency has been increased. With the better organization and improved administration due to the removal of our institutions from partisan control we expected them to become more efficient at less cost. Under the former conditions employes were not se lected for ability in any special line in which their services were needed in the in stitution, but for ability to serve their party. They were chosen by the members of the board of trustees and not by the superintendent. They owed their appointment to a higher power and could not be co-ordinated in the work of the Institution. They retained their positions for the pay they received. They did not enter Into the spirit of the work, and consequently had no love for It. There was no chance for a career in institution work under such condi tions. "By the turn of the political wheel other Inefficient and unskilled persons, whose only object was to serve just well enough to re tain their places and draw their pay, as sumed charge. When the heads of institutions are such in fact and officers and employes are selected because of fitness and are retained for efficiency, it is possible to have such organization that the work will be better done, the Inmates will be better cared for and the institution be more economically conducted. Then, too, when a position is secured to an efficient person, he will strive to improve himself, to work In harmony with the authorities and to aid In further advancing the interests of the institution. Intelligent, strong young people will be induced o take up the work as that promising promotion, and come to love it for the good that can be done. In a word. It is all the difference between what can be accomplished by the t:?e of proper business methods and the failures ot unbusinesslike A COMPARISON. "This can be shown by comparing the cost and work of our State Institutions a few years ago with that of the year just past. The Board of State Charities was organized in 1SS9. The first year It did not obtain as satisfactory results as it wished from the reports of institutions. In ISM. they were more satisfactory. Then the institutions were under partisan control. Even then the results of the comparisons made by this board were probably more effective In decreasing the cost than we can state, and consequently any showing would, in all likelihood, be more favorable than it would be could we have the figures of two or three years further back. "In 1SI9 and W0 all the state institutions, save the State Prison, operated under nonpartisan boards. The following comparison may serve as an illustration. In 1801 the Central Hospital for the Insane, with ar. enrollment of 1.541 patients, cost for gross maintenance J2S1.W2.10. There were 1,784 patients enrolled In 1SW, and the cost for gross maintenance was $243,000. In other words, with an enrollment of 243 less in 1S91, it cost J26.992.10 more to run it. The per capita cost of gross maintenance of all the so-called charitable institutions in 1SÜ was $229.79; for lsi)9 It was $167.37, which is $62.42 less. Multiply this difference by the daily average number of Inmates present for 1S99 and the result is a decrease of $a28.470.S9. In other words, had it cost the State as much to support each Inmate in those institutions in as it did In ISM the expense would have been $328,470.a3 more. "The great improvement in the care of the inmate", which should be our first concern, is generally known. In its details, however, the actual improvement is best known to us who have seen the great work wrought. We cannot adequately portray that which we have seen. Sullice it lo cay that the saving in money is but small compared with the other changes that have been made. We must ever keep in mind that our first duty Is the proper care of the unfortunates of whom the State has assumed charge. For them these institutions exist. For them a thorough organization and a business administration is necessary. Their proper treatment is demanded. We ure pleased to be able to assure the people of our State, whom we represent, that never before were the Inmates of our institutions so well cared for at so little cost as now." TWO SPORTSMEN BAGGED. They Violated the Lau of Michigan In Killing? Deer. Governor Mount yesterday granted the requisition of the Governor of Michigan for the return to that State of Joseph Shinder and Samuel Kuntz, who are both wanted on the charge of perjury. Shlnder and Kuntz, who live at Berne, Ind., are well-known sportsmen, and the affidavit accompanjing the requisition relates that during the month of November last they went up to Petoskey, Mich., for the purpose of following their favorite pursuit of hunting, the vicinity of Petoskey abounding in all sorts of game, including deer. During their stay they procured a tent and went forth in a true sportsmanlike manner to bag all the game in sight. The affidavit recites that among other game killed by the hunters were four deer, which were afterward seiaed by the game warden. It is not unlawful to kill deer in Michigan provided the person who does the killing has a hunter's license, and. to obtain a hunter's license it is necessary to be a resident of the State. It is charged In the affidavit that Shinder and Kuntz for" the purpose of procuring a resident hunter's license to kill deer in the State of Michigan appeared before a notary puollc and made oath, that they were residents of Kmmet county, Michigan, when In fact they were both residents of Berne. Ind. Neither of the accused is under arrest and will know nothing of the contemplated proceedings against them until they are taken Into custody this mornirg. CHARMED RED STRING. Its Ise Described In n Circuit Court Hearing. The claim of Amanda Parish against the estate of Margery Porter, that has been before Judge Allen, of the Circuit Court, for two days, contains an Interesting story. Judge Allen has remarked about the excellent character of the witnesses, and he says the caso Is about the most pleasant of any he ever heard. The witnesses are principally elderly women belonging to what the judge calls "the good, common class." Their general appearance bears out the statements. Almost without exception all have hair more or less tinged with giay. they are neatly attired and are of modest demeanor. Miss Amanda Parih. who is quite elder ly herself, claims that 11,00 is due her from the estate of Margery Porter for taking care of her. The estate Is valued at $2,0 Margery Porter was Miss Parish's maiden aunt. Miss Parish avers that she cared for her for eleven years, and that her aunt promised to reward her for the service by bequeathing to her her estaie. April li. l:0u. Miss Porter died at the age of eJghty seven. Before the estate was settled a will turne! up. purporting to have been made bv Miss Porter, in which she left her estate to several nieces and a nephew. An attempt was made to show that Miss Par ish was not only wanted to care for her aunt, but was also desired as a companion. In the testimony It was brong'.it out that a Mrs. Daniels had also assisted in taking care of Miss Porter. About the first ot thi.s year Miss Porter became III, and was

ar. invalid up till the time of her death. During her illness Mrs. Daniels came to the home and. it is averred, assisted in caring for Miss Torter. The testimony Introduced by Miss Parish was to. show that Mrs. Daniels was herself unable to care for anyone. It was stated that sh-'j had erysipelas and swollen limbs. Incapacitating her for the duty accredited to her. To refute this testimony evidence was introduced to show that she had taken treatment. When It came to investigating the method of treatment an unexpected discovery was

made. It was the discovery of the red string once owned by an old man named I rankem, who gained prominence several years ago as a charm doctor. The red string was used In a form of treatment. and it is said he effected many cures. At his death, it is said, his sons were dis inherited for some cause, and the string disappeared. The testimony developed the fact that the red string had been left to a woman to whom the old doctor endowed his charm. This is the woman who treated Mrs. Daniels when she was at the home of Miss Porter. SUIT AGAINST RAILROAD c. k. loss & co. sin Tin: cixCI.W.VTI, lUCIIMOXIl 4 micii:. A. Ilreaclk of Contract Alleiced nnd Sale of Bond AnUed For Federal Court Cases. C. E. Less & Co., railroad contractors. yesterday rtnewed in the Federal Court the suit filed by them several months ago against the Cincinnati, Bichmond & Muncie Railroad Company and the Second National Bank, of Richmond, asking for a cancellation of a contract between plantlffs and the defendant railroad company, an acocuntIng of all moneys due plaintiffs and for the enforcement against the property of the railroad of a mechanic's lien taken by plaintiffs in the counties of Union. Wayne, Randolph, Henry and Delaware. Loss & Co. entered into a contract to build a line of railroad for the defendant company with the alleged understanding that the right of way had been secured, but they claim that they were greatly hindered in their work of construction by the fact that a part of the right of way had not been secured. Other complaints of malfeasance are made against the railroad company by which plaintiff's assert they have been greatly damaged. One allegation of the complaint is that the construction contract erroneously stated that "hard pan will Include all tough, indurated clay or cemented gravel and gumbo which cannot be plowed with four teams," when- the words "four horses" should have been substituted. The plaintiffs allege that the railroad company has violated its agreement to make monthly estimates of approximately the full amount of work completed and, Instead of doing this, has made estimates including only about 40 or 60 per cent, of the work actually finished thereby, as claimed, requiring plaintiffs to "carry" the company, or, in other words, loan to it without interest the difference between the cost of the work actually done and the amount called for in the "short" estimates. . Loss & Co. ask that the road be sold, if necessary,, in order to pay the full amount which may be found due them. The case is brought on the chancery side of the United States Circuit Court because the matterj involved are of so complicated a nature that the services of a master will be required to straighten them out and estimate the' amount due the plaintiffs. The Richmond bank is made a defendant because It holds a note of Less & Co., secured by an order on the railroad company, which gives it an interest in the outcome of the proceedings. The suit tiled yesterday is substantially the same as the one which was dismissed a few months ago after a compromise had seemingly been effected. The plaintiffs are represented by W. II. H. Miller, John Klam, James W. Fcslcr and Samuel I. Miller. All Work: Stopped. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND. Ind.. Dec. 21. It developed to-day that the railroad contracting firm of C. E. Loss & Co., Chicago, which has the contract for the construction of the Cincinnati, Richmond & Muncie Railroad, has abandoned the work, quit the city and the promoters of the road will be compelled to make other arrangements to get the contract finished. Some months ago the company and the Losm people had trouble of this kind, which was patched up and the work proceeded, but this time the Loss company has removed all its effects and closed up the offices and the superintendent of the work has notified the C. B. & M. company that nothing further will be done. The railroad company will endeavor to protect all creditors and to proceed with the work of construction at once. Tili: Jt'IlY SCORKD. Judge Baker Said Such Condnet Canned Ly Ilchings. "It is such conduct as this on the part of juries in criminal cases that tends to bring courts Into disrepute and give rise to lynchlngs and other outbreaks of mob violence," said Judge Baker in the Federal Court yesterday morning when he discharged the juries in the cases of "William Hampton, charged with breaking Into a letter box at Lafayette, and Mert McKaln and Albert Daugherty, accused of counterfeiting at Van Buren, Ind. The judge was particularly severe In his lecture to the McKain and Daugherty jury because, as stated by him, one of the defendants practically admitted his guilt on the witness stand. The members of both Juries were greatly wrought up over the terrific scoring given them by Judge Baker, and several Jurymen paid him a visit in his private apartments after the adjournment of court. What passed between the judge and the jurymen was not disclosed. The iugg; Law Interpreted. Judge Baker made a ruling in the damage suit of Harry Hyatt against the Lake Erie & Western Railroad Company yesterday in -which he held that the Hugg law passed by th last Indiana Legislature applies to federal as well as state courts. The principal feature of this law, which derives its name from the fact that it was Introduced by Senator Martin M. Hugg, is that it takes away from defendants to personal injury suits their former exemption on the ground that the plaintiff's injuries wero occasioned by negligence of his coemploye. Until Judge Baker made his decision of yesterday plaintiffs In damage suits for personal injuries in the Federal Court have alleged that their injuries were not brought about through negligence of a coemploye. This allegation is no longer necessary in such complaints nor is It available as a defense. Bankruptcy Petitions. J. Sol Trultt, a Crawfordsville grocer, filed a petition in bankruptcy In the office of the United States clerk yesterday, giving his debts at $1,C03.23, and assets, $122.86. Most of the liabilities were in the shape of open accounts. James Dean Rush, a farmer and miller of Owensburg. Ind., also, filed a bankruptcy petition, with liabilities of $4.KJ7.71. and assets. $3.717. The largest claim against Mr. Rush is for $1.480. held by Nordyke & Marmon, who are secured by a mortgage on real estate said to be worth $2,000. Will ;ive a Banquet.

Salt Rheum It may become chronic It may cover the body with large, infiamsd, burning-, itching", scaling patches, and cause intense suffering. It has been known to do so. Do not delay treatment. Thoroughly cleanse the system of the humors on which this ailment depends and prevent their return. The medicine taken by Mrs. Ida E. Ward, Cove. Point, Md., was Hood's Sarsaparilla. She writes: "I had a disagreeable Itching on my arms which I concluded was salt rheum. I besan taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, and in two days felt better. It was not long before I was cured, and I have never had any skin disease since." Hood's Sarsaparilla Promises to cure and keeps the promise. It is positively unequaled forall cutaneous eruptions. Take it.

PALL CAUSED DEATH. Georjre eal, n Bartender, Dropped from n. Window. George Neal, a bartender, quite well known In the city, fell from the window of the block in which he resided at Delaware and Court streets about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon and received injuries which resulted in his death an hour later. He had, so far as could be learned, fallen asleep while sitting in the window. He fell upon the cement walk, fracturing his hip and being injured internally. He was unconscious when picked up and remained in that condition until death. He was taken by Dispensary physicians to the City Hospital, but there it was found he could not be operated upon. The doctors and persons who had seen him on the street shortly before said he had been drinking heavily. Christmas Hats. Dunlaps," at "Seaton's Hat Store." BIG FOL'Il ROUTE.
