Foihlen of Some Women. New York Times. "It is a curious thing." the woman lawyer said, "that there are some rich women who are not content with social triumphs. They want also to grasp the hard-earned honors of the professional woman. I have noticed that women's press clubs have very few active newspaper women in them. Real newspaper women are usually too busy for club life. There Is a percentage of women everywhere who are attracted by a certain glamor that seems to hang about that profession. Just as there are others who are attracted by the theatrical atmosphere. They push their way by hook or crook into the press clubs, and as they usually have more time and money than do the writers, they go to conventions and kindly represent the real press women, who are hard at work at home. "I know one woman who was an associate member of a woman's press club In a Western city. She spent a good deal of her time in the East, and when national or international conventions wore held she would be on hand to represent the club as a delegate, although ehe never wrote an article In her life and never could. She liked to be In the pres: club atmosphere, and I suppose it did not hurt any one. There was another who had a brother In the railroad business. She traveled a great deal on passes and would write articles to her home paper for the pleasure of seeing her name in print. Of course, when the conventions occurred she could always go, as her transportation cost her nothing. At the convention city she would be spoken of in the local papers as 'Miss So-and-So. the bright young newspaper woman,' or 'Miss So-and-So. the well-known journalist, and so on. When she went to distant cities she invariably visited their press clubs, proudly wearing the badge of her home club. This class of women dearly loves to reap such honors as rome her way without doing any of the hard work to entitle her to them." Peach Cohhler. Chicago Tost. To many peach cobbler means no more than a generously filled peach pie. This receipt treats the occasion differently and makes a most delectable dish. Line a generous deep pie dish with good paste, rolled a quarter Inch thick. Fit and trim this crust well, then butter it all round the edges. Fill the dish heaping full of ripe, juicy peaches, pared and quartered, not forgetting to put in several of the seed. Cover them with a crust, trim it, pinch the edges lightly, prick over the top, and bake half an hour in a brisk, steady oven. When done take off the top crust, lay it upside down in a big plate, then mash the peaches in the pie, sweeten them well and boat into them a lump of butter as big as a walnut. When the butter is welt mixed, add two tablespoonfuls of sherry, let it stand a minute, then dip out fruit enough to cover the top crust. Sprinkle both crusts lightly with sugar, just before serving. Cream, either whipped or plain, may be served with the cobbler. Or the fruit maybe lightly sweetened after opening the pie and served with a very rich sherry wine sauce. The sherry flavor accords better with peaches than does that of any other wine. Delicate eaters prefer to have the peaches left almost tart, and then to cover the pie with whipped cream, sweetened and flavored with sherry. Weddings nt the Capital. Washington Post. Tha daughter of Senator Foraker. Miss Florence Foraker, will become the bride of Randolph Matthews In the early fall, and a few weeks later her sister.

Place it over a slow flie. and when the ingredients are thoroughly dissolved tie a piece of jQne twine around the figures and dip them into the liquid. After taking them out hold them in the air for rtve minutes and then dip them strain. Then after allowing them to dry for a few days rub them with soft flannel, and a marble-like glo?s will be pr luced. Di.Mnse of plants In pots Is sometimes du" to accumulation of acid in the soil. Pli'-lr.pr the plants in new, fresh earth is one of the remedies, but as some plants will not boar removal the use of hot water is rrsorted to. First stir the soil as deep as it can be done, and pour water at a tempernture of 14o degrees on the earth In th pot until It runs off clear from the bottom. At the beginning the water will le clear, then brown, nnd then again clear. The sickly plants will be Invigorated and ulll soon show evidences of Improvement. Keep the plants in a warm location until the soil becomes somewhat dry again. NEWS OF THE THEATERS

PREPARATIONS FOR THE 0PEM OF ENGLISH'S OP EH A 1IOISE. Manager Miller Sn the Season Will lie Excellent A Ctalcugo Chorus Girl In LneU. Adam F. Miller, manager of English's Opera House, and Frederick Davis, superintendent of programmes for the Valentine circuit of theaters, arrived yesterday to prepare for the opening of the season at English's. Mr. Miller said that Lee M. Boda. general manager of the Valentine circuit, had made better bookings for English's this season than ever before. More of the best theatrical offerings will be preserved to Indianapolis playgoers, and the great attractions engagements here will be longer. William F. Leary, treasurer of the theater, will open the box office at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning for the sale of the seats for AI G. Field's Minstrels, who will give a performance at English's Monday night. Mr. Field's company has opened the season at this house for several years. "After Mr. Field's visit. " said Mr. Miller, "the house will be dark until Sept. 6 and 7, when we will have Odette Tyler and It. D. MacLean In "King John" and "Corlolanus." The next offering will be Tim Murphy, on the 13th and 1 Ith of next month, In his new play. "A Capitol Comedy," which was written by Paul Wilstach. of Lafayette. 1 do not care to make positive announcements further than Mr. Murphy's engagement, but I can say that for fair week we have an attraction that will please everybody." Mr. Miller and Mr. Davis came from their homes at Columbus, O., and there they learned from friends of Mr. Field, who also lives at Columbus, that ever since his company started on its tour it has been preceded by a man falsely representing himself as the contracting agent of the company, who has been successful In borrowing money. His plan has been to Issue bogus passes, and on the strength of an acquaintance thus begun to get loans. He gives his name as Ed Vaughn. So far as Is known he has not extended his operations to this city. Mr. Field offered $25 reward for his arrest. English's Opera House has been cleaned thoroughly, and Stage Carpenter John Tull nnd his men are preparing the stage for the activity soon to begin there. The outer corridor of the theater had been occupied all summer by gueFts of the hotel, who found there a comfortable place to sit and catch the breezes, and also by workmen engaged in making the improvements on the building. Yesterday P. E. Brown, the advertising agent of the theater, and his assistants put the familiar lithograph stands at the entrance to the lobby, and the place took on the look of a theater entrance Instead of the appearance of a door to the hotel. The Oil floom and n Choroi Girl. Chicago Tribune. From chorus girl in a summer opera company to mistress of $75.000 Is a far cry, but It Is exactly the good fortune that has fallen to Maldie Stuart. Miss Stuart received ' the money all at once In a big Adams Expre3s envelope on Saturday, and sho could give, up singing and dancing and live at ease the rest of her life if she wanted to. But she doesn't. Miss Stuart lives with her mother and sister at 3642 Wabash avenue and has helped 911t the slender family income by singing in the chorus of the Metropolitan Opera Company at Sunnyslde Park. Two weeks ago she caught a severe cold and has been ill ever since. It distressed her to give up her position, not only because the Income ceased, but for the reason that she was ambitious. In the mkist of this trouble came the big envelope with $75.000 In it. This is how it happened: Many years ago, when Maldles's lather was living, he bought some property near Bakerifiald, Cal. The land was practically worthless. "When Mr. Stuart died ho left these barren acres td his children. Maldle and Nina. They dutifully paid the taxes on It for several years, never dreaming that It would some &ny bring them a fortune. A few months ago oil was struck near Bakersfteld and the result was a boom In the value of land. Attorney Edward O'Brien. 185 Dearborn street, was commissioned to dispose of the property and in a short time he sold it for $150,000 cash. The money will be divided equally between Maldlo and Nina Miss Stuart Is only eighteen years old nnd has been on the stage less than a year. She made her stage debut with the Woodward stock company at Kansas City, her former home. In January the family moved to Chicago and the young woman studied with dramatic and musical teachers. She had beauty and a fair voice and soon obtained the offer of a position In the Metropolitan Opera Company. Miss Stuart will devote a part of her money to educating herself and will keep right on singing and dancing until she finds out what youth and beauty and wealth can do toward winning fame. Ciinrge Lederer 'with Bankruptcy. NEW YORK, Aug. 21. A petition to have George W. Loderer, tho theatrical manager.declared an involuntary bankrupt, was filed yesterday in the United States District Court by John T. Little, attorney for W. C. Cubit t. Frederick Olander and B.

TALES TOLD BY BANKERS

OXE MAX PAID TWO POLITICAL ASSEVMEXTS WITH OXE CHECK. Story of the Day When One Thonsnnd Dollars Was an Immenne Lonn BeRgnr Offered to Ret. "You have, of ecurse, heard the old story about a silver dollar being circulated about In an establishment in such manner as to discharge an extraordinary number of e'ebts," observed a prominent financier recently. "Well, I once had an experience something similar to that. I succeeded in paying two campaign assesf-ments with a single check. It uas during a campaign when the State and county committees of both political parties were at work. I am a Republican, but the nature of my business almost compels me to contribute a little to the Democrats occasionally. One Saturday afternoon after banking hours the secretary of the Democratic State committee rushed Into my office and said that he must have a loan of $J5 right away. " 'I have to pay off my stenographer and clerk, he said, 'and the banks arc closed fo I can't make a draw. "I let him hav the money, but took his note, which he arsured me would be paid promptly the following Monday. About a month afterward the secretary of the Democratic county committee approached me for a contribution. ." 'Why, I have contributed already to the State committee,' I said. " 'The State committee be hanged, he ejaculated. 1 v.ant money for the county committee.' " 'i ll tell you what I'll do.' I replied. I have a note here signed by the secretary of your State committee and I will Just turn it over to you as my contribution.' " 'Just the thing. he said, smiling, 'it Is as good as gold to me.' And he walked out carrying that note triumphantly. I have always looked upon that as a fine lesson in political economy, with emphasis on the 'economy. " XXX "I used to transact a great deal of business with an old farmer In northern Indiana," said O. M. Packard, "and I do not recall having ever known a man that made use of more peculiar expressions. It seemed that he could not understand the correct spelling of ordinary business terms. He raked and scraped around until he accumulated enorgh money to buy a few government bends, and . I well remember the air of delight on his face whenever he came to the bank to cut off the coupons. " 'Well,' he would say with a chuckle, I've come in to-day to cut off my cowpens.' "Alter awhile ho branched out Into the money-loaning business and quite often he would come across a piece of property that he wanted but that had a mortgage covering the greater part of Jts value. He would ray so much for the owner's equity or remaining Interest in the land and then come to mo and ask me to make out a deed to the property. 'Make It so as to show that I consume the mortgage,' he would Invariably say, meaning, of course, 'assume.' the mortgage. Well, he 'consumed' a good many mortgages before he passed to the better world." xxx "I once heard John Ross, of Vlncennes, tell a story that serves admirably to illustrate the marvelous growth of banking and other lines of business In this State," said M. B. Wilson, piesident of the Capital National Bank. "Mr. Ross Is now president of the Vlncennes National Bank, but at the time the incident he related to me happened he was president of the branch of the old State Bank located In Vlncennes. He told the story about twenty-five years ago. One day a customer of the State Bank came in and asked that his note for $1.000 be discounted. At that time $1,000 was the largest amount the bank had ever been called on to loan an individual. The directors were hastily summoned to a special meeting and the proposition was laid before them. The man was called Into the directors' room and questioned closely as to what he wanted to do with so much money. He gave a complete explanation, but the directors thought the matter was of such Importance they had better let It lie over until tho next day. So they told the man to come back the following morning and they would Inform him of their decision. They finally decided to take the note, but It was done with great fear and trembling. "Nowadays the president of a bank would decide such a matter and It would take him just about half a minute. He would assume that an Individual that had good enough credit to borrow $1.000 would e fully competent to dispose of the money and would look upon the Idea of asking him what he Intended to do with the money as a decided Impertinence. It Is r.ow more a matter of security and collateral with a banker than what the borrower of money Intends to do with the money." xxx "When my first boy baby was born," said a man who has been connected with a bank, "a few friends went with me to a refreshment stand to celebrate the great event appropriately. As we sat at a table doing all the honor possible to the occasion a man entered the place that strangely attracted our attention. He was quite seedy, and yet there was something about him that kept us from classing him as a regular tramp or hobo. He came up to the table at which we were sitting and told a hardluck story. One of the party began to ply him with questions, and pretty soon elicited the fact that he claimed to have been a resident of Lawrenceburg. My friend at once asked the fellow If he knew Mr. So-and-So, who used to reside on the southwest corner of two streets in the old part of Lawrenceburg. 'Yes, I know hlra very well,' the man replied, 'and he is living where he always lived, on the northeast corner of those streets.' " 'I guess you are right about that,' said my friend, and then he pulled out a dollar to give to the fellow. The rest of us chipped in change enough to make another dollar, and I took the change and gave the man a silver dollar, so that he had two dollars to put In his pocket. Then my friend happened to think of another person about whom he wished to inquire, a woman who kept a boarding house at which he boarded a number of years ago. He mentioned her name and referred to her as having resided on a certain corner. l beg your pardon,' said the man. 'she is living Just where she always did, but it is not on the corner you name.' " 'I know I cannot be mistaken,' declared my friend, 'for 1 used to board with the woman, and I certainly ought to know where she lived. "The fellow persisted that my friend was wrong, and the argument grew quite heated. Finally the man put his hand down In his pocket, and, drawing out the two silver dollars we had given him. said, with an air of triumph: 'Well, pardner, I'll Just bet you them two bones that I am right and you are wrong. "That took the wind out of all our sails and we admired the fellow's nerve so much that we took up another collection for him and sent him on his way rejoicing with four dollars in his pocket." Tflonds of Dank Officers. State Auditor Hart sent out yesterday a circular letter to State banks answering an Inquiry which he has received repeatedly as to whether a cashier cr president of a bank i required to give a new bond each yar. The auditor says that this is not necessary, if the bond originally given provides that it is to be binding as long as the official holds his position. "Yet it Is my Judgment." says the letter, "that It is the duty of your board of directors, under the statute of Indiana, to see to it that every president and cashier shall execute and constantly maintain separate bonds, with sureties in such sums as your board of directors may deem proper. If the board of directors neglect or fall to do this, they will. In the opinion of the attorney general, be personally liable to the stockholders and creditors of the bank for such failure. This strict business method should be adopted in every bank, no matter what relationship the directors and officers of the bank may bear toward each other." West Has Xearly Enough Money. It is said that the transfer of currenej from the East to the West to move the crops has been in much smaller volume this year than lr. previous years. This Is attributed In part to the drought, but more particularly to the last national banking law. which encourages the formation of small banks on a capital of $25.000. There has been a natural growth of Western

banking, but the banking law has lately stimulated th's Increase. Throughout the Central. Western Central and Western States there havt been large sums idle in these banks for want of opportunities of Investment. In other years these sums have been in Eastern banks.

The surety company will open for the transaction of business Sept. 1 in the suite in the Stevenson building occupied hv the investment banking house of J. F.

INSURED. OU insure your house against fire You know what people would say if it burned down without insurance. They would say you were wanting in business sagacity, that you

should have provided for this. Now leave house insurance and consider clothing insurance. Here the danger is even greater not from fire, but from the chemicals and strong soaps used in the laundry. Wise women insure their finer, more delicate and perishable things against this risk, and the premium they pay is the trifling cost of Ivory Soap. That guarantees protection. IVORY SOAP IT FLOATS.

A Contrast In (inn, The joke used during the hot Julj days that the gas companies were delivering gas this summer paid for last winter will not hold good In West Indianapolis, as the citizens of the suburb complain that they have not enough gas to cook their dinners with, even In this kind of weather. Councilman Dickson, of West Indianapolis, says the trouble is due to the gas companies selling the gas to factories instead of to private consumers. A suit for damages was filed yesterday against the Indianapolls Gas Company that Is expected to determine whether or not a gas company can be held responsible for property loss by fire caused by a high pressure of pas at night. The plaintiff In the suit Is Catherine C. Mints. She owns a double house at 913-15 West Twenty-seventh street, and on the night of Nov. 17 last, the house was fired by an overheated stove. The fire at night had been turned down as low as possible and the pressure increased. The loss on the house was 1,50. Fire Chiefs' Convention.

LOSING TRANSACTION. Exchnnge of Honey In Cnba Expensive to the I nlted State. HAVANA, Aug. 21. -Spanish and French gold is being very extensively used In Cuba at present by those having payments to make to the government, such as Importen of dutiable goods. The government pays la American money, and in so doing loses a half of 1 per cent., because it receives the centen at J4.S2 and the Ixuls d or at $3., whereas these coins at present are not worth more than $1.79 and $-'t.K3, respectively. In the market. When, however, owing to the demand for Spanish nnd French gold In harvest time, the value of the centen and the IxMiis d'or rises, Importers do not pay duties in this coinage, but in American money. The pogtoffice has a balance of exchange against Cuba, as more money orderf are issued on the United Staes than are issued in the United States on Cuba, and thut it has to ship funds to meet differences. Whatever money Is shipped to the United States causes a loss to the Cuban government, and esnedally now, when the transport service has ceased. That's a favorite attitude of the small boy. And in this again "tho child it the father of the man." The man doet not essay to walk through life on hi hands, but he creates for himself a king dom of topsy-turvv-dom. He turns night into day. He eats regardless of time and physical necessities. .He makes a pleasure 'of his business and business of his pleas ure. In fact, he effectually reverses the order of natural lir ing. The result if physical disability generally introduced! by " weak stomach. The food he eats doet not nourish him because the stomach and its associated organs are not abla to extract the nourishment from the food.
