This piece belongs to the repertory of the Holden dramatic company, an organization that has been playing to Park patrons for two weeks past with steadily Increasing favor. The new drama tells an exciting, absorbing story of life among the people that dvll on the north coast of England. It Is full of intriguo and Incident, and the dialogue is well written. A full complement of unusually handsome scenery is shown. John A. Preston, leading man of the Holden organization, is adding to his popularity by his clever acting in the role f Captain Dudley Lazonby. Mr. Preston Is a talented and conscientious actor, and has in the past two weeks become a prime la 'orite with Park audiences. Jack Ward Kett as Joe. "the fool." and Ralph J. Ravcncroft as Feter Grice, are furnishing somo admirable character acting. The part of Patty Lavrock is well suited to the Secultar ability of Miss Lulu May. Miss lay's unique specialty, the song "My Moonbeam Habe." with its charming lighting effects, is making as great a hit as when it was iven the first week of the engagement. Little Alice Ople Is a valuable asitant In this feature. The yetting of the second act of "The Fool of St. Arveu." revealing the fairy's well. Is as pretty a bit of scenery as has been seen at the Park In a long time. The Fool of St. Arven" will continue the till to-day and to-morrow, giving place Thursday afternoon to "A barrel of Mon'." On account of Thursday being m holiday (Memorial day) the prices charged at the matinee will be the same as at night. !'otes of the Stnge.

All last season they told each other fa plowing words that they loved each other that was In the play "Arizona." Just how mock affection came to be succeeded by the real emotion presents an interesting problem for psychologists. XXX "Two Little Vagrants," the play that was associated with the name of Mildred Holland until Miss Holland secured "The Fower behind the Throne," has to its credit more long runs than any other melodrama produced in the past twenty years. It was presented in Paris over nights. In New York city 2S0 nights, in Boston 2X nights and in Chicago 125 times. XXX The announcement that the Holden Dramatic Company will present "A Barrel of Money" during the last three days of its engagement at the Park Theater, beginning Thursday afternoon of the current week, will doubtless suttlce to bring out o series of large audiences, since this i one of the mot popular plays that are presented at popular prices. CENTRAL LABOR QUITS

IT LOSES ITS FIGHT AGAINST T1IC LABOR DAY COMMITTEE. The Fight End After n Lone War of "Word Linemen' Strike Settled -Luit or .Votes. Central Labor Union last night settled tho question of absorbing the Labor day commltttee and taking charge of Labor day demonstrations after one of the warmest contests ever fought In the central body. The motion to absorb the committee was lost. The matter was made a special order of business last night, having been postponed from last February. When the subject was presented by Edward Barry, of Typographical Union, Roscoe JJarnett, of the painters, tried to have the motion ta bled on the ground that the Labor day committee had already settled the matttr by voting to hold itself Intact. His motion was lost and Barry continued his argument. He said gross misrepresentations had been made about Central Labor Union wishing to absorb the committee to get its lunds, and that there was a "political clique" at the head of the committee. Refuting the charge that the central body was extravagant, he said the committee had appropriated 573 to a man associated with" a defaulting treasurer of the committee, and that the money, tied up as it is, dos no one any good. He said that as soon as the "political clique" was removed from the committee Central Labor Union might take charge of Labor day demonstrations and have funds to use for organization and boycotts.. M. T. Butler, of the Sawmakers Union, who Is president of the Labor day committee, hotly denied that there was a political clique connected with the committee, and also that misrepresentations had been made. Speaking tor his organization, he said that not one cent of the Labor day committee s money would be turned over to the central body, if an application had to be made for the appointment of a receiver to take charge of the funds. He also demanded to know on what grounds Barry made his statements, and retaliated by saying Central Labor Union had spent J1:J0 to send delegates to a labor convention and $ on another occasion for the same purpose without any benefit to the central body. Organizer John Blue entered the fray by saying his position was half way in the matter, but was soon declaring himself in favor of absorbing the committee. Blue is a delegate from the Agents' Union, and was Interrupted by Elwood Sands, another delegate from the same union, who said his union had voted and instructeu Its delegates to vote against the resolution. As a representative of the agents, he said. Blue had no right to speak against the sentiment of the union, and made his objection as a point of order. Barry then jumped to his feet and said Sands had no right to discipline Blue; that that matter iested with the agents organization. The chair declared Barry's point well taken, ordered Sands to sit down and told Blue to go on. Blue said that talk of the appointment of a receiver would lead "to the appointment of a receiver to take charge of the funds" and distribute the money pro rata among all the organizations. The question was finally brought to a vote by Edgar Perkins, who has been In favor of absorbing the committee, saying Central Labor Union had been whipped and it might as well acknowledge defeat anu be done with it. He said the matter naa been settled by the Labor day committee and that the unions should abide nv the ruling of a majority. If the central body wished to take up the matter again, he said. It could do so after the celebration of next Labor day. but now it was its duty to drop tho matter and all trv to make the next celebration a success. When the motion was put to vote it was lost witnout a dissenting voice. The report of the special committer in charge of the KIngan boycott was made by Chairman Blue, who said that he had visited 250 hotels, restaurants, groceries ana meat markets and that 50 Der cent, had consented to withdraw their Datronaee from Kingan & Co., 40 per cent, agreed to do what they could to bring about a settlement between Kingan & Co. and the labor organizations and 10 per cent, agreed to Investigate the matter or take no part In it. It was voted to draw enough from me special iuna raised to fight the com pany to have lOO.OOO posters printed to sena broadcast declaring Kingan & Co., the Moore Packing Company and Reed urothers, who are in the company, unfair. State Ibor Commissioner McCormark said that Kingan & Co., when they were "boycotted to a finish," changed their name, and tnat the central body should waten tnat feature. On a petition of the Journeymen Tailors Union, which recently lost a strike, a motion passed the central body protestin against the reappointment of A. A. Young as surveyor oi customs for the alleged stanu tr.e llrm or oung & McMuiray took during the strike. The Hardwood Floor Layers' Union re ported that the firms that had signed the agreement to recognize the union ami pay the union scale had violated their agree ment from the start by not nuttine men back to work, and President Feltman and the grievance committee will Investigate. lim:mevs vntiKi: settled. The Settlement a Victory for Mem ber of the I'nioii. The linemen of the Electrical Workers' Union, No. 10, yesterday effected a settle ment with the Central Union Telephone Company and the New Telephone Company, whereby they get an increase in wages of 25 cents a day, making their scale ?2.50 a day and a nine-hour day, without quitting work. From the street-car company, where the men went out, the linemen received the concession of 5o cents a day, that being necessary to reach tho scale, and a nine-hour day. The Indianapolis Light and Power Company also settled by granting an Increase of 25 cents and a ninehour day. Besides these concessions, the employers agreed to not discriminate against the union and to take tack the ground men who struck In sympathy with the linemen. Waited for McNulty. A number of striking molders from the Chandler & Taylor Company assembled In Military Park last night to Iwive a talk about Michael McNulty. The molders at this firm left their places of employment because McNulty was employed there. They say he has been guilty of working in unfair shops. Since the men have teen on strike McNu'ty has steadily kept to his work, and all appeals to him to leave have been fruitless. As it is known that McNulty goes to his home by wuy of Military Park, the strikers went to the park to await McNulty's approach. The strikers waited long and patiently, but McNulty evidently heard of their presence, and he took another route home. A Serie of Conference. State Labor Commissioner McCormack Is arranging a series of conferences between employers and striking workmen in this cXy. The striking men Include machinists, of whom about '-0O are out in this city, molders to the number of ten or fifteen, and linemen numbering about thirty-five, the latter being members of the Hlectrlcal Workers Union. Mr. McCormack says that in mingling with the strikers he has been particularly Impressed by their admirable bearing. There 13 no drunkenness or other dissipation among them, he say-i. and the men are JenervlriK of warmest commendation for their conduct.

DR. J. H. FORREST'S PLAN

HC ADVOCATES AX IXDEPEXDEXT HEALTH ASSOCIATION. The Eleventh Annnnl Conference of Health Officers Many Important rupera Head. Th? eleventh annual conference of In diana health officers convened In the Statehouse yesterday morning. Quite a sen sation was occasioned when Dr. J. H. For rest, of Marlon, president of tho State Board of Health, read a paper advocating the formation of an independent association of health officers. Dr. Forrest argued that if this were done the association would be in a better position to develop, since it would have more pride in carrying forward its work. He said that as at present conducted the association was subservient to the State board, and therefore less interest was being shown in its work. He urged the adoption of a stringent constitution and by-laws, and said It would also be a good idea If the association would carry on a sort of kindergarten or school of instruction for the benefit of such members as might require enlightenment as to their duties. He said that any health officer who failed in his duty could be called before the association and an accounting demanded of him, or he could be ousted from the association, which would mean practically tho loss of his position as health officer. Dr. Forrest's suggestion met with hearty approval, and the conference was yesterday afternoon reorganized as an Independent association, to be known as the Health Officers' Association of Indiana. Oflicers were elected as follows: President, Dr. Brose S. Home, Bluffton; vice president. Dr. Nathan D. Cox, Spencer; secretary. Dr. A. E. Powell, Marlon; treasurer, Dr. Hugh Cowing, Muncie. GOVERNOR'S WELCOME. The exercises of the association were formally opened by an address of welcome by Governor Durbin. The Governor paid a high tribute to the work of the State Board of Health and its secretary, Dr. Hurty, and added that this work could not be completely successful without active, intelligent co-operation from health officers of cities, towns and counties of the State. The Governor declared that statistics prove that sanitary science has extended the period of longevity, and said that through the benefits of modern sanitation and stricter regard for the laws of health people are now able to pass the half-century mark of life without perceptible loss of vigor and enthusiasm of youth. It was expected that all of the formal papers cn the programme would be completed yesterday, so that to-day might be devoted entirely to discussion of the lengthy li.U of subjects prepared by the secretary of the State Board of Health and published In the Journal several days ago. The absence of Dr. Herbert Hessler, of Logansport, however, prevented him from reading his paper on "Mosquitos and Malaria." For the same reason the paper on "Rural Quarantine and Disinfection," by Dr. G. H. Grant, of Richmond, had to be passed until to-day. For lack of time yesterday the paper on "Need of Dairy and Milk Inspection in Towns and Cities," prepared by Dr. A. W. Bitting, State veterinarian and chief of the department of veterinary surgery in Purdue University, was omitted until to-day. An interesting paper on "The Aristocracy of Health" was submitted by Dr. W. J. Fairfield, a prominent physician of Anderson, and healtn officer of that city. Dr. Fairfield said that the increase of the average life one-half within the last two hundred years, from twenty-one to fortytwo years, is a monument to rubllc hv giene, quarantine and restrictive measures in protecting the weak and debilitated, the element that the law of natural selection would destroy, because of its inability to live unaer ordinary conditions. He taid that when the Importance of per sonal. Individual hygiene shall be properly empnasized a true aristocracy of health wlllbe founded on the basis of a "sound body in a sound mind." Dr. Fairfield severely arraigned the churches because they do not preach a saving gospel of Christ, since they neglect the physical part of man. He called attention to the manner in which Moses regenerated the Jewish people from a degenerated, debased people up to the most sanitary nation that the world had ever produced. The doctor said that preachers should preach a gospel that saves men from physical sins. Dr. H. A. Spickcrman. of Muncie. of fered a very witty, entertaining and in structive paper on "Recent Experiences with Smallpox." He poked considerable fun at merchants and editors who "are able to make diagnoses of smallpox with out seeing the disease, for they deny that It exists when physicians diagnose it as sucn. DR. HORNE'S PAPER. The paper on "The Opposition to Sanl tary Science," by Dr. Brose S. Home, health officer for the city of Bluffton and secretary of the Wells County Board of Health, was full of striking and forcible idea:?. Dr. Home began with the proposition that there is always opposition when an effort is made to raise the people above their ordinary life. He said that In the twentieth century the fight will continue and sanitary science will take no small part in the conflict. He said the strongest opposition to sanitary science comes from the commercial Interests of the country "They wish to continue selling deleterious foods and impure drinks, said Dr. Home. "They are no respecters of persons, even the babe In the mother s arms does not appeal to their sympathy. Recently in St Lou in specimens of milk were examined and each was found adulterated." Dr. Home said that sanitary scientists must demonstrate to the people that their work is in the interest of public welfare, hen'.v he argued that earnest effort should be ditected to this end. Dr. Home made the following startling statement: "One prominent manufacturer made the statement that if a pure-food law was passed and enforced it would ruin business, for the reason that a great many retail dealers throughout the country want adulterated foods in order to undersell others who are their competitors." Dr. Home said that sanitary science brings an indictment against this commerei.il age, and demands for the sake of health and happiness that "commercial cannibalism" be destroyed. He denounced the individual that adulterates food or drink as a criminal. In con cluding his paper Dr. Home said: "We know It was ignorance and lack of human sympathy that caused the contagious disease of olden times to spread unchecked over the land. So it Is with the present system now being followed In this country. It is our hope that soon the day will be past and gone forever when it will bo called good politics to oppr.se the enforcement of laws that have been passed to protect the people's health. We do not want laws that only protect the rich, for 'Art Is always prostituted when it only serves the vanity of the rich; so it is with laws. After due consideration we are forced to the conclusion that under our present system of government 'adulteration of provisions has everywhere become a social institution.' and we have arrived at a period in history where the people must stand by the laws of sanitary science if health is to be considered wealth." DR. COX'S PAPER. In his paper on "Contagious Disease Outbreaks Among School Children and How Best to Deal with Them," Dr. N. D. Cox, of Spencer, advocated medical inspection of school children, sending home all that are even suspected of having diseases. and permitting the school to continue for the benefit of such as are well and sound. He said the children who are sent home should be reinspected and "sifted" again, as It were, and those that are actually ill treated and not allowed to return until entirely recovered. Teachers should be Instructed to seno home every child that might be slightly 111. Dr. Hugh Cowing, of Muncie. offered several important suggestions concerning "The Education and Training of Health Officers." He contended that sanitary science and hvgiene was so far reaching and covered such great fields that the modern health officer should really give, his entire time to his duties. "This Is far ahead of the general public as yet." he said, "for thev are not willing to pay for the 'ounce of prevention that is worth 'the pound of cure, but they will some day see the economy of this, and health officer will be emPloyed who are not at the saT.e ti-.u practicing medicine on their ov.n p-i-.te account." Dr. Cowing compllmcud very

hishlv the school of science at Purdue Uni

versity, and said that In it young men are being treated as tney snouia De lor aoing health work. NIGHT SESSION. La3t night's session of the health of ficers' conference was tho most Interesting of the three held yesterday. It was de voted exclusively to a discussion of "Sewage Disposal and Water Supplies." The principal paper was read by Charles Car rol Brown, engineer and editor of Municipal Engineering. Mr. Brown carefully re viewed the decisions of tho higher courts of the various States. In Wisconsin and New Jersey, he said, the Supreme Courts have decided that sewage should not go into streams, while In Indiana the decisions were to tho effect that the streams were natural outlets for sewage, and it was permissible under the law for municipalities to use them as such. He said it was plain that at the time the Indiana decisions were rendered the court did not understand that there were well-tried and proven methods for purifying sewage. He advocated for smaller cities and large towns the use of the aseptic tank, which Is a large tank built into the ground, into which tho sewage is allowed to run. In this the nitrifying organisms would take hold upon the effete matter and transform it into gas. The effluent or outflow from this aseptic tank would then be hltered through coke, and from this bed the outflow would be as pure as the water of the stream with which it mingled. The two processes, aseptic tank and filter bed, amount virtually to furnaces, where the offensive material is consumed. In discussing Mr. Brown's paper Dr. Hurty made several very interesting statements. "The people of Indianapolis," he said, "are annually wasting at least 200.0'JO pounds of the best kind of fertilizing material by allowing It to empty from sewers into Wnite river, and thereby they are polluting for a length of thirty-five or forty miles (from Indianapolis to Gosport) one of the finest streams in the State." Dr. Hurty described a trip he made to Brockton, Mass., on which he saw some of the most luxuriant corn he ever beheld growing from this kind of fertilizer drawn from sewage. He also decleared that the better kinds of fish are being driven from White river by the presence in the water of sewage. "A properly conducted sewage farm," he asserted, "would yield a revenue instead of making a noisome, stinking sewer out of beautiful White river."- Portions of tho morning and afternoon sessions were taken up with the answering of questions dropped Into the "question box" maintained by the conference. Tho programme to-day will include many papers of general Interest. Smallpox SlRn Scared Them. Some of the health officers who came to Room 12 of the Statehouse yesterday to attend the sessions of the county health oflicers of the State vere afraid to enter the room because of a large placard that was tacked on the door frame. Their first glances at this placard caught only the formidable word "Smallpox," but they were reassured when they read the context, as follows: "Any person coming from Spencer county to Warrick county who Is from Infected districts will be arrested at Boonvillo and lined for attempting to spread a contagious disease. The marshal and his deputies are watching close (sic), keeping well posted as to points infected." Signed Thomas Wright, M. D., county secretary of Board of Health. PERSONAL AND SOCIETY.

THE INDUSTRY OF FOWLS

TWO ACRES OF CORN DEVASTATED DY A BEVY OF CIIICKEXS. Albert HollIna:aiTorth Sued by Thorai C. "Walton Schol Divorce Caie Other Conrt Canes. Judge Allen, of the Circuit Court, yesterday heard the suit of Thomas C. Walton against Albert Hollingsworth for damages for the destruction of two acres of com that the plaintiff says was "scratched up" by the defendant's chickens. The parties to the suit are neighbors in Tike township. Walton's field is In close proximity to Holllngsworth's farm, so close that it Is alleged Hollingsworth's chickens found it easy to trespass on Walton's land without wandering far from home. At the time the chickens got their owner into the lawsuit Walton says he had a promising corn field. The fowls invaded it and spread devastation over at least two acres. Suit was brought In a Justice's court for damages, but after hearing two witnesses the Justice dismissed the case, and Walton appealed to the Circuit Court. Judge Allen has the matter under advisement. Besides this episode, the chickens have been responsible for other litigation. It is said that at one time Walton killed some of the fowls and Hollingsworth had him arrested. Judgo Allen has also had dealings with the parties interested in the suit before this case was brought to his court. Several years ago Walton marrie-d a Miss Bush, who came Into possession of a large farm deeded to her by her father. A year or so before the marriage Bush attempted to have a guardian appointed for his daughter on the ground that she was of unsound mind. Judge Allen refused to make the appointment, as the woman had been capable of taking care of her property. Miss Bush was about nfty years old at the time. Her father, who had become quite aged, divided his property between his children, giving the home place to his daughter, with the understanding that she was to become his housekeeper and take care of him. For this consideration she was deedeo the home property. The father and daughter tailed to agree on various subjects, which resulted in tne father filing a petition for the appointment of a guardian. About a year after the appointment was denied Walton met Miss Bush and nfarried her. MUS. SCHOLZ SUES FOR DIVORCE. Also "Wants Former Trcnsnrer of Stale to Pay tfSO.OOO Alimony. Mrs. Amelia G. Scholz yesterday filed suit for divorce and 150,000 alimony from her husband, Frederick J. Scholz, who was formerly treasurer of state. An application for a restraining order was granted by Judge Leathers, of the Superior Court, to prevent Schloz from disposing of any of his property during the pendency of the case. Mrs. Scholz avers that her husband Is wortti $163,000 In cash and stock in various corporations. The application for the divorce is based on charges of cruel treatment and infidelity. The plaintiff avers that her husband has assaulted her, used profane language in her presence and the presence of their children, threatened to use violence upon her and said that he would take her to the insane asylum. It is alo alleged that Sch'.oz chased his wife about the house an-, kicked her in the presence of their children. Mrs. Schloz charges that when their Invalid daughter, Laura, was on her deathbed, Schloz treated her cru'Ily. The Indiana Trust Company, the Merchants' National IUnk and the Indiana National Bank, are made parties to the suit relating to the restraining order, as Schloz has stock in the trust company and money on deposit in the bank. State Treasurer Levy was also made a defendant in the restraining order on the ground that Schloz had valuable books and papers in a safety box In the treasurer's office. Mrs. Sohlox says that as nar as she can ascertain her husband has $165,0X) in personal property and cash. She names but one piece of real estate, which is In Evansville, and she estimates it to be worth $. r.o. The remainder of the property is distributed among several banks and is represented by stock in a number of corporations. Mr. and Mrs. Scholz were married in Evansville, April 17. 1S73. and have three children living, two of whom are married. One daughter died. They moved to Indianapolis when Scholz was elected treasurer of state, and have since resided here. THIRTY-THREE OPIMOXS. Thnt Xnmber to He Handed I) own by the Higher Conrt.

It is not always that the user of food understands about that food, but a gentleman In Cincinnati, writing about Grape-Nuts, expresses himself perfectly. He ays: "A business man devoting himself to hard mental labor, requires different food than a man doing muscular work. I became aware of a dull, heavy feeling in my head daj' by day which did an untold damage to my work. Verdict, Intestinal Indigestion; punishment, a tevere diet list, leaving out stan hy foods, sugar and fat. "Up to ths time, with the most precise care in cooking, the ordinary breakfast food came to the table a pasty, t-tarthy mats. Added to that was sugar and more or less white bread, which gave an excefs of starchy food that could not be aligestfl. This indigested mass passed into the Intestines, creating gas and ull of the distressing symptoms buth of tody and brain. "I was put on Grape-Nuts Food for tb reason that it is made of yejcrtrd rarts of wheat and barley, thoroughly cooked at the factory, giving to the body the htarehy purt of the food (.which it necessary), predigested. that is. turned into dextroe or grape sugar. This furnished the sweet needed, without the use ?f cine sugar and gave me thr starchy principle of food already passed Into the s-eonl condition, ex-" actly in the same manner as a healthy body digpst? It. "After uting Grape-Nuts for a short time, I found a m st remarkable Improvement in my health, and I alo discovered the rtason why the claim made on the package Is true, that one pound of GrapeNuts, which Is perfectly absorbed by th body, will afford more nutrition than tec pounds of meat, wluat or bread. Imperfectly digested. I can asure any one thai a week or ten days' conscientious use of Grape-Nuts will prove far more convincing testimony than any written words.
