Jn his letter he said the city has the misfortune to be advrti.-ed as bankrupt on account of a local political tight. Jle said the fact that the Council is liepublican and the mayor a Democrat Is the reason why an effort Is being marlo to cripple the financial Handing of the city. In closing the letter Mr. Dunn said: "These facts show how the people of a city may foolishly Injure its reputation abroad by small politics." CAUGHT AFTER TWO YEARS. Thonin V.

UNDER SPANISH EYES

mo.m.mem rr.ci: PliOCKJiSlOX OF AV03Ii:. CHITICILIIl). Senor De Vorii und Prof. Gonzales Were Seeking a Vountc AVomnn They Had .Never Seen. Jo d Vega y Flores, Ldo. en cincias, arqiiitecto-profer sor, rncrcantil-perlito, me-chanlco-y agricola, Habar.a. which means that he is a constructing engineer and architect of Havana, and Prof. R L. Gonzalez, passenger agent of the Plant system at Tampa, sat in front of English's Hotel late yesterday afternoon, surveying the Monument plaza. In chairs ranging along the front of the hotel was a large number of other visitors to the city, but most of them were commercial travelers, di-cussing their trade in English. Professor Gonzalez and Senor De Vega carried on their conversation in Spanish, because the latter speaks no other language. Trofes.'or Gonzalez spoke Spanish out of the right side of hl3 mouth to Senor De Vega, and English out of the left side of his mouth to a passing acquaintance that knew no Spanish. It Is usual for many of the male guests of the hotel to form in front late in the afternoon to see what passing show tlds city can offer and to examine the great monument leisurely, speculate on its cost and criticise its architecture favorably or unfavorably. Professor Gonzales and Senor De Vega were interested In the monument, but were especially Interested in the passing show. "We are waiting here for a j'oung lady." a!d Professor Gonzalez, "and though we know her name and she knows ours, we never have seen each other's faces. I have talked to her by telephone and she will come here." Professor Gonzalez drew from his pocket n case of black Cuban clKarettts, lie one and again rested his eyes on the monument. "I have never been here before." he said; "that is a magnlMcent monument. Can we go to the lop of It on Sunday? Can we gtt a photograph of it?' He save the; forthcoming Information to Senor ! Vega, and then both began to glance at the passing women in the hope of discovering in one of them the young woman whom they were to meet. Late every afternoon there is n goodly procession of women past English's Hotel. Monument place is a well-used thoroughfare for women that come down town after the heat of the day to do their shopping. "You have so many women here!" exclaimed Professor Gonzalez. "It seems to me that there are ten women to every man. Many of the women passing here are pretty, but you have too many of them I notice a good number of old maids. Thre are not enough men for the women." He related this analysis to his companion, who laughed heartily and nodded his head. "And then I notice," continued Professor Gonzalez, "that while your women know how to wear winter clothes, they are not familiar with summer clothes. They don't know how to make and how to handle summer gowns." "They ought to be learning." said the passing acquaintance; "it was around 10O in the shade here a week ago." "Why do I think that young lady coming is the one we want to see?" said Prof. Gonzalez. Loth he and Senor De Vega watched the approaching woman with interest like that cf men at a lottery drawing. The j-oung woman turned up Meridian street, and the two men settled back In their chairs. Professor Gonzalez produced another black cigarette. The scrutiny of the passing show began again. At last a young woman walked up hurriedly and went into the women's entrance to the hctel. "That is she," exclaimed Professor Gon-r-Uez. "I can tell by her hurried manner." He tcssed away his ciearette and followed the young woman, with Senor De Vega trailing. Sure enough, it was she. The two visitors are here to buy some instruments to be used by Senor De Vega in his profession. They have made an extensive trip over the country, lioth are of brown complexion and experienced air. Professor Gonzalez said he had fought In South American insurrections, and as Senor De Vega is a leading citizen of Havana he must have had Iiis troubles In the last several years. STILL ANOTHER CATTERY. 3Ir. Ida 3Inrplr Shirk IIa? Long Conducted One in This City. Fnder the ndstaken impression that an article in last Sunday's Journal said that Miss Nellie Harvey Wilson is conducting the first and only fine cattery in this city, Mrs. Ida Murphy Shirk writes the Journal that she is the original exploiter of blooded cats in Indianapolis. Mrs. Shirk gives some interesting observations concerning Angora and Persian cats. She says that her experience with reference to the number of kittens produced at a birth has been different from that of Miss Wilson. "I have six from one mother, born July 20, in a nourishing condition." says Mrs. Shirk, "and have had as many as seven at one birth, so you see in that respect they resemble the common cat. They are very intelligent and affectionate and not as easy to rat-e as one might suppose, as any experienced veterinary or one who has tried long enough will be willing to confess." Mrs. Shirk says she lost thirteen fine kittens hut summer on account of t2:e heat and thus far the present summer has had two to die from the same cause. She states that some of her cats were exhibited here and in Cincinnati last wintt r and in Chicago the preceding winter, and that they have been first in their class wherever shown. Mrs. Shirk says she has three Chinchilla cats, whicn are execdinglv rare, no others being in this city and'only a few in the country. All of bar cats, she- asserts, an- of the host p dl greed stock, one coming dirict from England. Mrs. Shirk lias conducted a Persian and Angora cattery at her home. i;: Noith Pennslv:mta 'street, for the past four years. "and is one of the early tn-mbin of tne Reresford Cat Club of America, being .M the present time vice presddent of the Indiana branch of that club. Mrs. Roheit L. McOuat 1? also a member of this club, and for two vears past has owned a number of fine cats. Mrs. John Mf'Cullough is another fancier of tine cats, as was alsj the late Mrs. Charles Maguire. INQUESTS AT EVANSVILLE. Some IrreKularlties in Conducting Them Reported. John R. Elder, a member of the Board of State Charitios, said yesterday that the beard had discovered indications of the existence of irregularities in the matter of conducting insanity inquests in Evansville. A part of the board returned yesterday from that city, in which they have been Investigating the Southern Hospital for the Iiar.e. Mr. Elder said insanity inquests in Vandeiburg county have increased In the l::st few months and that justices of the ! eaee seem to have been conducting sueh proceeding according to their own pleasure, without notifying the county clerk. A. W. Fuller, secretary of the board, declined to discuss the investigation at Evansville or to say vhenit will be resutmd. He also d dined to state when the investigation of the Central Hospital for the Insane will be taken up again. "All those matters rest with the board." ho t-uid. When Mr. Eutler was informed that a report has come from Evansville that the charities board found no sane persons in the southern Insane hospital he said sharply. "The board has not s.iid any such thing." When pressed for a further statement he closed up like a clam and would not talk of the matter at all. "When our Investigation is completed." he said, "a report of It will be filed with the Governor and if he sees fit to give it out for publication he may do so." In regard to the statement that he had discuss d the insanity matter with Attorney General Taylor. Mr. Rutler admitted that he had seen the attorney general, but said he did not meet him for the purpose of talking about the .insanity Investigation. "1 wt-nt to see Mr. Taylor about some other matters.'' said Mr. Rutler, "and we did mention the insanity ufTulr, but in a general way only." The Vi? Connty JnlL The State Roard of Charities has examined a set of plans for additions and improvements to the Vigo county Jail in Terre Haute and returned the plans with suggestion to the commissioners. An ap-

propriatlon of flO.O") has been made to cover these additions and improvements. A nen- building will be added to the jail and a part of the new structure wlil be used for the confinement of female prisoners. The Jail Is to be thoroughly remodeled. GEORGE T. HOWSER RESIGNS.

General Secretary of V. 31. C. A. to Take I p Special Work. George T. Hovvser. general secretary of th; Young Men's Christian Association of this city, has tendered his resignation to the board of directors. Mr. Ilowser explains to the board that he has been preparing himstlf fcr special work for many years z.V. 1 feds that it is time for him to take It up. The special work referred to, Mr. Howser said, would be along Christian lines and miuht be that cf Ribie teacn?r and evangelist, although he has not yet completed definite arrangements for his future work. Mr. Huwser has been in the Y. M. C. A. work for more than twenty years, and has been in charge of associations at Omaha, where he began the work, and in Chicago. Cincinnati and Indianapolis. He has len connected with the Indianapolis association only fourteen months, but in that time the membership has grown from 440 to S' and every department of the work is in good condition. Mr. Howser says that Indianapolis is one of th? best fields for association work in the country and at present has one of the strongest associations. Jle says he expects to hear great things of the association in the future. I'r.til Mr. Howser's place is permanently filled James E. Neighbor, who is in close touch with all that has been done, will act as the 'general secretary. NOW HELD FOR MURDER Tili: CHARGE AG A IT ST CHARLES M'AREE SOOX CHANGED. Ralph Snmple, the Man He Assaulted, Died nt the City Hospital Autopsy Held. In Tolice Court, yesterday, Charles McArce, charged with assault and battery with intent to kill Ralph Sample, was arraigned and the ca?e continued, awaiting the result of Sample's injuries. Sample had been taken the night previous to the City Hospital and. upon the advice of hospital physicians that he was not dangerously injured, McAreo was released upon bond of Two hours later ho was re arrested and charged with murder, Sample having riled quite suddenly. Sample was a son of Alexander Sample and lived at 1327 PTetchcr avenue. McAree Is twenty years of age and is a son of Owen McAree, a grocer, at 1313 English avenue, the building adjoining the saloon in which the fight occurred. There was much surprise among those who were there at the time of the fight, and soon thereafter, that the injury should result in death. There was only a slight wound on the forehead, and although Sample, while being treated in the saloon, lay helpless on the floor, it was at that time thought his condition was due to liquor and the shock of the blow he received, or a fall outside the saloon. Late yesterday afternoon McAree ' told the detectives that he had been playing pool in the saloon with Walter Hays, and Sample came in, intoxicated, and asked to participate in the game. He was permitted to do so and a few minutis later, after he had lost the game, he began using abusive language. McAree is married and has one child. Sample, he said, finally made an Insulting remark about the child, and he then told him he would take the child's part, as he was unable to resent such insults himself. He said Sample then struck at him. and after a few blows had been passed, he took out his knife and struck again at Sample. Ho then ran out of the door, followed by Sample. McAree said no blows were exchanged outside the saloon and that he stood in the street until Sample, advancing toward him, fell. A moment later he heard some one say: "Joe, take care of this man." and the same person told him he bad killed Sample. McAree then went to his home and told his wife of the trouble anel later, upon advice of his father, went to police headquarters and gave himself up. Sample was attended in lite saloon and then sent to the City Hospital. An autopsy was held yesterday afternoon bv Drs. Wynn and Dodds. upon request cf Coroner Rrayton. Dr. Wynn said, last night, that the small knife wound had undoubtedly been the cause of Sample's death, vhioh resulted from hemorrhage. The blade had pierced the skull and entered the b.'ain. Th re were evidences before his death of internal hemorrhage and clots were afterwards found. The brain was not opened, but will bo in a few days, for the purpose of ascertaining the Injury inflicted upon that organ. No other evidences of injury were found about the body. McAree, after giving himself up and until late yesterday afternoon, refused to talk of the matter, saying that he preferred to tell his story in court. It was with difficulty the detectives secured any statement from him. TOR THE FAIL CARNIVAL. II. F. Hnckcdnrn Goes Ent to Confer t irlth Show Managers, t j IL F. Ilackedorn left yesterday for a tour of Eastern cities in the interest of the Indianapolis Fall Carnival, to be held from October 11 to TJ.

At New York he will confer with the managers of spectacular features. Already the managers of the carnival have received a great number of propositions from managers of show?, but many of them are cheap or of an objectionable nature. Attractions nt the Parka. The diving hurt e s. King and Queen, will be at Falrview Park all the coming week. This action was brought about by the earnest requests and solicitation from many of the leading citizens of Indianapolis and vicinity.

ELMORE TO READ HERE

rOUT OF .I,AMO" ENGAGE D II Y A LITER AH Y CLl II. At n Trial To-Morrotr He Will C.lve Testimony In Vere An Interesting: Talk velth Him. An officer of one of the city's literary clubs went to Crawfordsville yesterday and engaged James B. Elmore, "the poet of Alamo." to give a reading here early In September. The date and place of the reading will be announced later. It is expected that literary and quasi-literary clubs of the city will take great interest in the first public appearance In this city of this "poet of the soil." The Indianapolis man had made an engagement with the roet by mail, and met him yesterday at the Crawford House. The poet had ridden twelve miles from his farm and, though tired and dusty from his long drive, he was ready to talk of his work, his personal affairs and the benefit he might derive from a public reading in Indianapolis. His visitor presented him with a copy of the New Y'ork Sun containing an editorial based on a recent story In the Journal about the poet and the suit brought against him by his brother on the charge that the poet had tapped his sugar trees on Sunday. "I've got a farm of 320 acres, all under cultivation, one of the finest farms in Montgomery county," said the poet, "and not long ago one of my cows got clovered and died in the field. There is-a law against allowing a, dead animal to He out In the open field more than twenty-four hours. I didn't know the cow had died, and my brother had me arrested under the law. Rather than po through a long suit I acknowledged judgment and paid the fine and costs. It cost nie about $;13. And now the other day my brother tiled an affidavit against me for tapping my sugar trees on Sunday. I venued the case to Crawfordsville and then 1 venue d it again to Waynetown. The cate will be tried on Monday. "Of course, they'll ask me In. court what my occupation is, and I'll say I'm a farmer, an author and a poet. Just to prove that I am a poet, I'm going to give e vidence in verse. I've talked to the lawyers on the other side about it and they've agreed that my testimony in verse shall be accepted as such, in evidence. HIS PROFITS IN LITERATURE. When asked to tell something of his literary work, the poet said: "Well, 'Love Under the Mistletoe and Toems' has been printed in two editions of 500 each and nearly all of the books have been sold. The Rowen-Merrill Company, down at Indianapolis, sold twenty-five copies of the book, but they haven't been pushing it lately, and I guess they must be scared of me. Of course, I never allow literature to interfere with my farming; I'm always sure of a living out of my farm, and I am not out of literature. My books cost me G3 cents apiece and I sell them ror 51, so you see I've made some money out of them. "I'm a good salesman, but the worst thing I have to contend with Is these fellows that make fun of my work. That kind of people usually is folks that sit around and read yellow-backs. I call them down, but of course always in a nice, mild way. I've had some trouble with some of these editors around here, and last night as X was driving home I stopped the team right In the middle of the road and wrote out the following. Of course, 1 couldn't do it verv well, because the team was rather anxious and I had to hold the lines with one hand." Mr. Elmore drew a piece of paper from his pocket and read the following verses: "Even in old quaint Ladoga Lives a recent writer fogy, Fixing up a sort of hash, Critics call it balderdash. "His soul is full of lovely chimes. No time for prose nor modern rhymes. And vet he fills his empty hull With silly, gilly. gilly gull." NEW BOOK BASED ON FACTS. "I have been in town yesterday and today taking orders for my new book." continued the poet. "It will be out next Christmas, and the name of it is 'Love in Cuba and Poems." I have forty-five names here, and against I go to Indianapolis and over to Terre Haute I will have two hundred, which will make me sure of its success. It starts out with a long prose love story, with a sprinkling here and there of verse. You see, all my works are based on facts. At the opening of the SpanishAmerican war there was one of the Colorado regiments going through Terre Haute. It was about noon and all the factory girls were idle. One of them handed up her handkerchief and photograph through the car window to one of the boy.?, who happened to like the looks of her. He passed down his ring and agreed to write to her. "Ho carried the photograph down with him to Cuba and through the battle of El Caney. He was wounded and bled all over the photograph. Well, he kept up a correspondence with the girl all the time, and most all her letters, you see, are in verse. The facts arc, one or two of them are in verse entirely. Right there it gives me a fino chance to philosophize on the subject of love and lovers' affinity for one another, ami how nature provides for it. "Of course, the hero keeps worrying over the girl, whether he is going to get her or not, and linally he comes back to Terre Haute and it's their intention to have a quiet wedding in the hotel parlors. Rut he has on his uniform, and, of course, Is a hero, and a crowd gathers outside of the hotel and serenades them with a band, and they agree to be married on the balcony of the hotel so the multitude can see them. The story ends with a quotation from Rotiert Burns that 'A virtuous woman is the noblest work of God.' All my stories have the climax at the right place at the end. If the climax is in the middle it's just like walking up the front stairs of a house and walking down the back stairs. WORK LIKED BY' GEN. WALLACE. 'I met some folks from Terre Haute at the Shades of Death the other day and they agreed to show me around. I'm going down to Terre Haute and get a photograph of the balcony of the hotel. One of the fel lows I met at the Shades is the proprietor of thv? opera house at Terre Haute, and he agreed to pose for me on the balcony in soldier's uniform. Of course, 1 suppose I can get some girl to pose with him. There is one trouble he's not such a very good looking fellow and I don't know exactly how to manage it." Mr. Elmore was asked if he and Lew Wallace were friends. "Oh, yes." he replied, "he always buys my books and thinks they are good stuff. You know my poem, 'Ren-IIur in Drama' goes this way: " "Halloo, Benjamin Hur, where goest thou? Like a divorced wife, to the stage just now. What is to be done, that you are so arrayed? The show has just begun in dress parade." "I traded books with Alonzo Leora Rice the other day," said Mr. Elmore. "I sent him one of my books and then did not hear anything from it. I wrote to him and finally he sent me one of his. I kind of got the worst of it, tor there were lto pages in my book. 'Under the Misteltow and Puems," and there are only thirty-seven pages in his book. "Do you know. I never sold but one book to a college professor. They don't say much when I'm around, for they regard me as a kind of a competitor." When asked what he thought was his best work. Mr. Elmore said: "I don't know, there is so much of it, but the people at Indianapolis seem to like 'The Monon Wreck' best." At his readlner here Mr. Elmore probably will give "The Monon Wreck,"' "Ressie. the Belle of Alamo" and "My Mary of Miiiouri." Mr. Dookvvalter Goes East. Charles A. Bookwalter, Republican nominee for mayor, wife and little daughters left yesterday afternoon for a two weeks" visit In the East. It Is probable that Mr. Bookwalter wlil not publish his letter of acceptance until after his return. Strike nt Chnir Factory. Yesterday eighteen or twenty finishers, rubbers and polishers employed by the Indianapolis Chair Company went on strike, their demand being for 3) cents an hour. They have been setting 20 cents, but under & new rule they say they have to piy theV

he.pers. The strikers are members of a union, and all the. men in that department quit work. THREE WITNESSES HEARD

And Then the Alvln K. Haines Came "Was Adjourned. The case cf the State of Indiana vs. Alvln E. Haines, charged with violating the election law of the State by voting at the Republican primaries to elect precinct committeemen when he had no right to do so, came up for hearing yesterday before 'Squire Shuck at Haughvllle. W. W. Spencer, attorney for the defendant, attempted to quash the affidavit on the ground that the primary election law was unconstitutional.

EIOVAL

WILL CONTINUE UNTIL SEPTEMBER RRST

WE will remove to our new ware rooms, in the Newton Claypool Building, September 1st, instead o! August 1st as announced, it being impossible for the contractors to finish the building as anticipated. This delay will prolong the time wherein money can be saved in Piano values. Nearly all of the original stock mentioned in our first announcements has been disposed of. The few remaining used and new Pianos from that stock will be offered at the same reductions in price, and, in addition, we place on sale during this month the first shipment of stock intended for our new warerooms, at the same reduced prices that disposed of the original stock ,so quickly. The prices we quoted helped to make our July business the biggest in the history of our Indianapolis warerooms. The continuation of our Removal Sale, with the introduction of stock intended for our opening, should make August a record breaker over July. Every instrument in the house is marked in plain figures, with both the original and the RemovalSale price. Original prices will positively prevail after our removal. By buying now you will save anywhere from S35 to $65 on a new Piano, and from $50 to $100 on used Pianos. Why not take advantage of this opportunity? Easy Terms May be arranged if desired. . Piano Repairing In all its branches executed promptly and at reasonable rates. Tuning and ipolishing a specialty. If your Piano is "out of sorts" see us about it.
