By LUCY CLEAVER McELROY No book of recent years has aroused more interest in advance of publication than this Kentucky story. Mrs. McElroy takes us into the "Pennyrile' district, a region never before invaded by novelists. She knows her country; she knows her people, and she depicts them with a sure and photographic touch. The story is fresh, absorbingly interesting nd strikingly original, both in style and motive. With 17 Illustrations by W. E.

i AMUSEMENTS. The sire of audiences at the Grand thja reek has kept up In a remarkable manner, considering; the oppressive heat that has prevailed. It is a practical demonstration of the drawing power of good vaudeville. Indianapolis has had a number of opportunities to witness prize fighters In the role cf Thespians, but as yet none has made a more pleasing impression or received a heartier Krcetlnjr than James J. Jeffries, who is now playing the leading part in "A Man from the West" at th lark Theater. XXX Ralph Johnson, the bicycle expert, who 111 give a performance in the vaudeville programme at the Grand Opera House next week, is said to be the originator of many of the most daring1 feats attempted by bicycle sensation riders, lie is provided with a repertory of tricks that are both surprising and bewildering. Xj X X English's and the ark will be the only local theaters op a week after next. And each will have good offerings. At Knglish'a the attractions are May Irwin in "Madgo mlth. Attorney," Tuesday. May 14, and Nat Goodwin and 5laxlne Elliott In "The Merchant of Venice," Wednesday. May 15. The Park will have Holden Bros." Comedy Company In a group of popular plays. xxx Ferris Comedians, the repertory organization coming to the Park Monday afternoon to remain an entire week, with matinee and night performances daily, is claimed to be one of the strongest companies of the kind on tour. The roster includes the names of twenty-flve playets, ten of whom are specialty artists. There will be no waits between act: to fill up the space vaudeville numbers will be Introduced. xxx The announcement that the sale of seats for Richard Mansfield's engagement next Wednesday night at English's Opera House. presenting his magnificent production o! "King Henry V," would open at the box office of the theater this morning brought to the lobby of the theater as early as 10 o'clock last night a crowd of colored men representing persons who wish to secure good beats for the single performance. Manager Miller announced he would do all in his power to discourage speculation. ' XXX 'The claim Is made that the expenses of Richard Hansfleld's production of "King Henry V," which will be seen at English's next Wednesday night, are so heavy that crowded house do not realize a profit for the distinguished actor-producer. He employs for this one production more people than are used by a grand opera company, and carries nineteen separate stage settings. The ccpea and mitres -worn by tho bishops and archbishops In the splendM cathedral scene are real antiques, brocade3 and. cloth of gold. I XXX Manager Myers gave out Information last night showing the engagements that have been accepted by his associates at the Grand Opera House for tho summer season. As soon as the theater closes, which will be next -Saturday nht. James "Weed, advertising agent, will Join the Ringllng circus. William Thompson, assistant advertising agent, will attach himself to the Wallace t-hows. Harry Cannon, stage manager, will go to Chicago to accept a Similar position in John J. Murdock's Masonic Temple theater and roof garden. Daniel Dougherty and Charles Gavin, of the box-office force, will probably be allied with Manager Myers when he takes charge of the amusement 1-avllion at Falrbank. Shafer Zeiglcr, auditor of the Grand, will spend the summer In Cincinnati, where he has business Interests. The doors of English's Opera House will bo thrown wide to-night to admit the great crowd that will come to hear Victor Herbert's famous Pittsburg Orchestra, In conjunction with two soloists of ability and note. Indianapolis people will, perhaps, feel a deeper Interest In the appearance of. Master Thad Rich, for the wonderful boy violinist belongs to this city, and to-night's appearance will be his first public appearunre in this cltv since he left about a year and a half ago for Leipsic.

ANSWER MAKES CHARGES

.wothkii step ix the sheridan prick works mtjcjatio.. Answer Filed to Complaint of Marlon Trust toinpan-fu of the Courts. A rather eensational answer was filed in Judge Leathers's court yesterday to the complaint of the Marion Trust Company, admlr.I.strator of the estate of the late Mason J. Osgood, against the Sheridan brick works for the appointment of a receiver and the collection of notes aggregating JlS.OOo. Mason J. Osgood was proprietor of the company and secured notes for it to the amount for which, the administrator sues, according to the allegations in the complaint. He owned 2M shares of the total 5 shares of stock, valued at J50.UOO at the time of the organization of the company. The answer filed yesterday is sworn to by Oliver H. Root, secretary-treasurer of the firm. He -fays that as president of the company O.-good assumed the financial Management of the concern and the stockholders intrusted their interests in his care, and that he (Root) superintended the management of the brick works at Brazil and Sheridan. It is charged in he answer that Osgood fraudulently and without the consent or knowledge of the board of directors of the firm Incurred obligations amounting to $2s.mo for unnecessary Improvements and machinery. It is alleged that he advanced his own money with Interest to procure notes from the company at a high rate of interest so that the company would be unable to pay the notes on demand and thus freeze out the other stockholders and become sole owner of the stock. It Is charged that Osgood fraudulently reprerented that he woidd give the company time to pay the notes out of the earnings of the concern or until the plants were bonded in a sufficient sum to pay them. It is charged that by fraudulent representation he instructed the secretary to issue Instruments so that the transaction would appear regularly on the books, without the consent or authority of the board of directors, and that he fraudulently designed and prepared the instruments so that they would all fall due. at one time, that he might more effectually carry out his alleged, scheme to ruin the corporation for his own individual benefit and gain. It is averred that Osgood knew that the notes could not be paid at one time on demand without utter ruin to the corporation ard other stockholders, and that he was financially able to protect his own interests, whiie the others were not. It is charged that he betrayed his trust by fraudulently scheming to ruin the corporation by securing the signatures to the instruments sued on. The last paragraph of the answer is in the nature of a set-off to the claims of tho Marlon Trust Company. It alleges that Osgood was indebted to the firm to the amount of $12,00 for unpaid assessments on his stock. It is asserted that 'the company made an assessment of 80 per cent. cn the face value of the stock, and that It? only paid $ll.ooo on his share, which amounted to S-ö.OX). Judge Leathers appointed Charles A. Bookwalter receiver of the company, and the company now has an appeal from this appointment pending In the Supreme Court. The appeal affects the matter of a receivership only, and the question as to the validity of the notes and their collection rests with the Superior Court. COMPLICATED CASE. Suit of Indiana Trust Company in Circuit Court. Judge Allen, of the Circuit Court, has under advisement the suit of the Indiana Trust Company, guardian of Margaret Vanderventer, of unsound mind, against Oscar F. Mann, to cancel a deed. The case yesterday was even more complicated by the testimony of a witness named Fisher. The trust company seeks to regain possession of property for its ward that was deeded to Mann in a trade for a saloon lease and fixtures, on the ground that she was of unsound mind when the deed was executed. Fisher, according to the testimony, has loaned Mrs. Vanderventer $1,501). It Is said there was a mortgage on the property she traded Mann, and she gave him a note secured by Fisher, and that Fisher at the time told her she was making a bad trade. The confusion that mayarise over this testimony depends upon the decision of the court. Should the court hold that Mrs. Vanderventer was of unsound mind when the deed was executed, it is said the question as to her sanity will be raised regarding the mortgage, and if she was not capable of making a deed she was not capable of executing a mortgage. A similar suit remtiins to be disposed of in Judge Leathers's court, where the trust company is suing Charles Davis and George Seibert for possession of the saloon fixtures they bought of John Holohan and Edward Means, Mrs. Vanderventer having sold out to the two last-named persons. The suit is brought on the ground that Mrs. Vanderventer was of unsound mind when she sold out. It Is said the money involved has been squandered, and the only thing dettnite either court has been able to decide so far is that somebody will have to lose In the end. WAHXS JllMii: WALKER. John Wilhelm Holds Court Responsible for Ills Property. As soon as John Wilhelm, who was the husband of Leona Wilhelm, the woman lound murdered on the banks of White river last fall, gets out of the workhouse, he promises to make trouble for the civil courts. Wilhelm and his wife owned a r.mall truck farm, his share being one-third and her's the remainder. The Marion Trust Company was appointed administrator of the estate after she was murdeicd. Several debts had accrued against Mrs Wilhelm and the estate on account of funeral expenses and taxes, and the trnst company tried to sell the property to pay them. A purchaser was secured but he refused to accept a ded signed by Wilhelm lor fear it would net be genuine, alleging that Wilhelm had twice been in the Insane hospital. At that time Wilhelm said l.e was willing to sign a deeM. but since tt. company now has a purchaser who will accept It he refuses, and says no one can induce him to attach his signature to such an instrument. He also has the key to his house, which he refuses to turn over, and he declares that as soon as he is out of the workhouse he will go to his home lo live, and stay there contrary to the jurisdiction and order of all courts. He has warned Judge Walker, of the probate department, that he will hold him responsible if the property Is sold. CA X NOT FORECLOSE. Itulliur of JiiiIkc Leather In Barrett I.nw Case.

The gas company filed a demurrer to the complaint, which was sustained by Judge McMaster Feb. a. 1X. Since then tho city has refused to plead further or tile an amended complaint, although the original complaint was held insufficient. No reason has been given by the city attorney for letting the case rest since Judge McMaster's decision. City Files nn Answer.

The bridge company did this work when It completed the Illinois-street bridge end then brought suit when the city refused to pay for it. The city, in its answer, contends th it the specifications of the contract provided thit the company should pave between the tracks, and the plt-adirc is that the remuneration Is to be received lrom the street-car company for the money paid to the bridge company for doing the work.

They Make Charges Against Oriental Trading; Company. The Merchants' Association of Indianapolis yesterday, through its manager. J. F. Saulter, presented to the city controller a petition in writing formally protesting against tho issuance of a license to th? Oriental Trading Company or E. S. Suleeba to do any further business in this city. Suleeba has been conducting a sale of rugs, bric-a-brac and Oriental goods In this city during tho past month, obtaining a license from the controller's oflice each week. According to the protest filed by tli2 Merchants' Association the Oriental Trading Company obtained a Judgment against Suleeba on April in the sum of js.222.0-. An execution was issued on the judgment, and since that time the sale of the stock of goods owned by Suleeba, though conducted by the employes of Suleeba, has been advertised as a sheriff's sale. The Merchants' Association alleges in its complaint to the controller -that the Judgment obtained by the Oriontal Trading Companywas fraudulent upon the court and that the whole proceedings were collusive and made for the purpose of enabling Suleeba to advertise his sale as a sheriffs sale. The complaint also contains several other charges of lesser significance. A TEST CASE. One Mny He Brought to Test Vneol- - nation I.avr. Richard Cordell, who Is the father of several children that attend the Indianapolis schools, last night complained to the School Board of the unjustness of its order In compelling the school children to be vaccinated. Cordell is an avowed Dowieite and sas that vaccination Is against his creed. The board Informed Mr. Cordell that the vaccination law was being enforced at tho instance of the Boird of Health, and if lie had any complaint to make he would have to go to that board with it. A member of the board said afterward that If the Board of Health insisted on the vaccination of all the school children Cordell's children would have to comply with the ride or leave the school. It Is thought by the board that Cordell Is backe! by the Dowieltes In Chicago, and that ho will probably seek to make the vaccination of his children a test case in the courts.

ANOTHER GLASS TRUST

CO-OPERATIVE ME FORM A COMBINATION OF THEIR OWN. Indications of a Split Two Hours After Organization L. A. .1m May Oriler All Plant Closed May 11. The Co-operative Window-glass Workers, afte a lengthy session at the Bates House last night, formed a company or a combination to be known as the Federated of Co-operative Window Glass Comparies of America. Following are the officer?: President. O. Jaquemain. Mathews, Ind.; vice president, Mr. Phillipart, Mathews. Ind.; secretary-treasurer. Mr. Patterson. Converse, Ind. These officers, with Judge Quertimont, of Point Marion, Pa., and J. B. Scoy, of Mathews, Ind., constitute the board of directors. Leopold Mambourg, of M uncle, was elected representative of the company, and will receive all bids for supplies for the factories in the new combine. The co-operative men were virtually driven into organizing a trust by the American Window Glass Company and the independent combine which arc working in collusion against co-operatives. The principal contention is over the purchase of supplies. It is said that the American Window Glass and the independent combine in a measure control the market price for supplies for glass factories, and by their combined influence the co-operatives were compelled to purchase at a financial disadvantage. Their only recourse was to form an organization of their own and they will now act as one In purchasing all supplies. Mr. Mambourg. who represents the company, will ask for bids from all firms that manufacture supplies, and it is believed if prices are not secured on a level with those asked of the other two trusts the new combination may decide to provide means of furnishing their own members with necessary equipment for their plants. The representatives of the American Window Glass Company and independent combine left the city yesterday afternoon and it Is oolieved their visit had no influence in bringing about the organization of the co-operatives. It is said that tho two older trusts offered to market the glass for the co-operative manufacturers if they would consent to purchase supplies from their plants. While the co-operatives will not condemn themselves, the inference is given out that they rejected this proposition and that they will maintain the same independence in the glass market as heretofore. Ninety-two lcr cent, of tho co-operative manufacturers are represented in the new combination, and. considering their competition, control about one-fourth of the market. They have prevented the other trusts from cornering glass, and this feature has much to do with ihe desire of the American Window Glass Company and the independent combine to bring the co-operatives into line as anything else. While it was not the desire of the larger trusts to absorb the co-operatives, yet they wanted them to place the controlling price of glass in their hands. While the co-operatives were in session President Burns, of L. A. 300, and the scale committee held a conference in another room. After the organization of the cooperatives a joint conference was held with tho scale .committee and President Burns. This Conference related to the scale, but tho leading feature was the question of closing the plants May 11. The other two trusts have agreed to close on that date, as thev say the glass market is being overstocked and a suspension of work is necessary to maintain the present price of glass. The co-operatives had said before they organized last night that they would run their plant a month or more longer, but now thev may take a different view of it. It Is said by "the larger trusts that If the co-oporatlves do not put out their firea on the llth the market will bo glutted and the price will fall. This statement is evidently not without foundation and accounts for the activity of L. A. SX in trying to bring tho co-operatives to an understanding with the other concerns. It is said that if the price of glass falls a corresponding reduction mlht be made in wages. On this account the labor organization will do all It can to hold up the price of glass. INDICATION OF A SPLIT. The conference between the new cooperatives' trust and the scale committee of L. A. 300 and President Burns, which began at 12 o'clock last night, adjourned at 2 o'clock this morning, and the Indications are that there is already a split in the new combination. Twenty-nine of the co-operative plants represented in tho newtrust favor closing their plants May 2S and the remainder, which is about half a dozen plants, wants to run longer until thev get ready to close. The plants of the American Window Glass Company and the independent combine wish to close May 11. and L. A. 300 tried to get co-operatives to cIofo on that date. After the joint conference adjourned tbe scale committee, with President Burns, held a conference, and it is believed that L. A. 300 will issue an order closing all plants in the country on May 11 independent of the wishes of the co-operative trust. Another conference will bo held in Pittsburg on Monday, when final action will be taken. THE TAILORS' STRIKE. Merchant Tailor Exchange Submits n Proposition. The Merchant Tailors' Exchange, through State Labor Commissioners McCormack and Schmid. yesterday submitted a proposition In the nature of an ultimatum to the Journeymen Tailors' Union for a settlement. The proposition in sight demands that women be barred from joining the union, that nonunion men now wonting he given from three to six months to join the union." that union men work peaceably beside nonunion men. that wages and all other differences be adjusted by direct negotiations with the employes in their respective shops, that fines assessed against union members who returned to work after the strike was on be remitted, that a scale signed Ik? effective till Sept. 1, 1"X4, that there bo no free workshops and that tho agreement bo effective upon its adoption. The first five of the propositions were flatly rejected at a meeting of the union yesterday afternoon and tho last three were accepted. The journeymen tailors will submit a counter proposition through the state labor commissioners. Will Return to Work. The strike of the structural iron workers on the new Claypool building has beenWttled. the men being granted their demand for 25 cents an hour, an increase of 2 to 7Vi cents an hour. The men will all be at work to-day or not later than Monday. THE ARSENAL GROUNDS. Speculation a to Their Final Disposition. Since tho order of the secretary of war was Issued abandoning tbe arsenal In this and other cities. It has been suggested thit the grounds here might be obtained for the University of Indianapolis. A number oi people have expressed themselves on the subject. The grounds Include seventy-seven acres. A dispatch from Washington says it thought the grounds will be utilized as an army post until Congress shall determln their disposition. The dispatch suggests that the secretary of war can order the establishment of a military post here, but to transfer the grounds to Indianapolis for city park purposes, for Instance, the action of Congress would bo required.

THE SIM1AY-SCIIOOL LESSON. .May 3, If Kilt Jesus and Irter John xx I. lo-Ui:. Fhysically, Galilee is a comparatively lnsi srnlficant. little pear-shai-ed lake. Historically it is the most important Fheet of wtor on the Klobe. It is the scene of almost all the public life of Jesus His miracles. His sermons. This paves it from oblivion, and turns uncounted pilgrims to its tshores. "Clear silver watfr in a cup of pold. It shine His lake the Sea of Chinnoreth The waves He loved, the waves that kissed His feet So many blessed day?. O happy waves! O little, silver,' happy eea'"' Galilee is now the scene of the last of cur Lord's parable miracles, the account of which is described as a nice and delicately fibered piece of literature. "It sparkles like a gem in its own peculiar setting." The persons are seven disciples, whom Ruskin, in his epigrammatic way, calls the Denir, the Slowest Believer, the Quickest Heliever, the Two Throne Seekers and two more "Their old habits had tome back to them with eld associations," and so they had gone a-flfhing. It has been suggested that it msy not have been fo much a matter of inclination as necessity, it being the only obvious way of obtaining an honest maintenance. At all events it was much more wholesome to be occupied than to be idle in those hours of waiting. There is something pathetic in this night of hard but fruitless toil, "where blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels." Once before, on this very lake. Jesus had seen IIs disciples "toiling in rowing" in the storm, and came to their relief. Again He stand upon tho shore, but far from being an idle spectator. Re asks them how they fare, lie pities them In their lavk of success. He gnldes them to better fortune. The human considerateness of Jesus is further evidenced by tbe preparation He hao. made to warm and feed the chilled and hungry fishermen. It is not necessary to afiirrn He worked a miracle to accomplish this. Everything may have been ready to His hand. John's earliest recognition and his affirmation In reverent phrase; I'eter's impatience at the tardy motion of the boat, his impetuosity in swimming to the ehore, his instant manly helpfulness in pulMng ia the net and counting the fUn; Jesus' command to Peter to follow Him eso that there might be a striking object lesson); Peter's overmastering curiosity as to the fate cf John; Jesus' purposely and ingeniously Indefinite answer all are spirited and interesting details; but the-y are details accidents. Incidents merely. The center of this picture, the object of this meeting, is the rehabilitation of Peter his restoration to the aiostolic office after his hhamoful lapne. It is at this joint that the "delicate fiber," to use Philip Schaff' s shrae, is especially evident. After all the "table- talk" was over ur.d the time of Jesus' departure was evidently at hand He turned and addressed Peter. It may or may not be significant that He addressed him by th? name he wore before Ii? became a disciple, and not by that honorable name Jesus conferred upon him when He oieed the first creed of Christendom. It is significant that He spoke to them in such a way as to single Mm out from the rest and make it evident that the purpose of this theophany was to restore an erring but penitent disciple. The change of terms (apparent only in the Greek, and very difficult to imitate in KnKlis:i could not have been a mere caprice. Jeru4 wculd purely weigh His w..rds on such an occasion, as a judge does when Lo eharge-s a Jury. Thus Jesus said, "IoveFt thou Me more thun these?" The word If almost equIaKnt tj our "prize" prlxest thou Me? I'dcr, In his answer, purposely ignores the comparison. He will never be guilty of that again. "ThoiiKh all n.en .should torsake Theo, yet will not I." He appeals to Jesus' own knowledge. "Thou knowest." His word for love is different than that of Jesu'. It is not the highly moral and lntelbctual it is the warm, affecticnal ami he u"-. no ether word for love in the entire Interview. Jeus says. "Peed my lambs." Peter' firt denial is erased. The deed is done. He is restored. What follow is merely confirmatory. Jesus challenges Rain In the same tone, peter gives the Fame password. And Jesu says, "Shepherd My sheep." The second denial is erapfd. Now Jes-us, with a ouch of tenderness, drops to Peter's word, and the challen; is 01 tht phne of the heart. Peter's grif is natural. The triple challenge reminds him of a triple denial. Put now Jesus gives him the pastoral office In its most sacred pfnse, the care of the "little sheep." and the thlnl denial is erased. TUM TKACHKi: S UNTKHN. How is it that xorking reojl. Fh-nild ever fall out with Jesus? He belongs to their net. He Is one of the "tin-bucket brigade." He wa the son cf a carpenter. Probability Is stnnj: He sto.l to the bench. Father Taylor, the j.. Iran's preacher, in strong dissent from such an idea, once exclaimed: "My S.tior never made a shaxTng." Put Charles Wesley wrote the hj mn: "S-"n of the carpenter, receive This humble work of mine; Worth to my meanest laUr give, I5y Joining it to Thine. "Servant, at " n e. and Lord ef all. While dwellifi here below. Thou didst nt snn our earthly t i I Aril wearlr.ss t. know." It Would trf mote I) Jesu hxrUT to beljrve that, belonging, as He did. to a pr family, He contribute! to the smp..tt than that lie spent His time in Idle contemplation. In word and deed Jesus honored th-;. fishermen In their lowly toll, and through thern He puts himself in touch with all MIIts everywhere and always.

Decision of Character Iter. HI, 14 1 Sit I'rov. Iv. 2.1-27. Cn of the most characteristic anecdotes related of Gladstone Is this: In the maturity ot hls powers, when he was probably the mightiest finale influence In the woild, Lo was observed one dy setting out on a walk In a bara rainstorm. A friend remonstrated, and the grejat statesman replied: "1 had formed the purine of walking a eertain t. umber f miles this terms, n. and, rain or no rain, I raribut afTTJ to allow n.ys'f -o recede from that puri, .'
