It may be that the. dramatization of Mr. Twain's novel will be revived next April on Broadway.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9 -Finly Peter Dunne, author of "Mr. Dooley." and Miss Margeret Abbott, daughter of Mrs. Mary Abbott, formerly of Chicago, were married in this city to-day. Pashlonnhle Diners. The Onlooker. There is a pretty custom coming into vogue which one is glad to indorse. Some score of sensible women are introducing a fashion to dine bareheaded In such places as Delmonico s and Sherry's. This is a good plan and should have won adoption long ago. If a woman be well coiffured she looks her best without her hat und fe is many times more comfortable. There is something unnatural about a light frock and a head covering which should be done SWay with. In Pans one may FtCOgnla a dweller of the half world from the fact that she affects a hat when decollete. We are almost incongruous when we wear huge chapeaux to accompany lace yokes and flowing sleeves. The head uncovered is btUtr taste, as will be seen when wi ad-pt the mode.

Took Off Pettlcout to to er Hoy. Not every woman would brave the conventionalities to perform an act of charity and humanity, but Omaha has one who deserves mention. A dispatch from that city says: With more than a dozen astonished but admiring passengers looking on. a society woman on Monday afternoon arose in a street car. removed her silken petticoat and wrapped it about the shivering form oi an infant two years of age. The woman was Mrs. Harry Cartan. of 38U6 Rurt street, formerly Miss Sadie Nash, and a daughtti of millionaire Nash, the secretary and treasurer of the smelter combine. Mrs. Cartan boarded an Inbound car at Thirtyeighth and Cuming streets. The car was without a fire in suite of the sero weather In one cornet of the car sat a man poorly clad and who held an his knee a baby. The

little child's feet and legs were entirely bare and blue from the cold. The father had a beaten look, aa though the world had used him roughly. An eyewitness states regarding what followed: "It was just beginning to dawn upon me that 1 might do something besides stare when a rustling attracted my gaze to Mrs. Cartan's corner. 8he had her hands behind her under her cloak, and the next thing I knew she was standing erect in that car and permitting to slip from her a haavy, rustling petticoat. As It fell she stooped and caught it in her hands, then, holding to the straps, she stepped out of it and walked down the aisle to the man and bahy. Stooping over, she snuggled that garment about the Infant's legs, smiling into the child's face and remarking to the father: 'I'm afraid the baby has scarcely enough on for this weather.' "

An Invitation to Thieves. Philadelphia Record. The latest style in women's purses the kind that has the chain attached, makes the work of the thief easy, especially In a crowd. 80 says a detective employed in on- of the department stores. The chain is either worn over the wrist or is carried in the hand, with the purse dangling below, and a slick pickpocket is quick to take advantage of either method of carrying it. Th.- clasp generally consists of the familiar device of two round knobs crossing each other the easiest in the world to operate. So numerous have been the complaints of late from women who have suffered at the hands of the lighttingered gentry that all tht' employes, salespeople, floorwalkers and cash boys have been instructed to be on the watch for the purse thieves.

A Cheese Pudding. Harper's Bazar. A delicious cheese pudding vouched for by the housekeeper at whose table it frequently appears, is made from one 5-cent loaf of baker's bread with a half-pound of K'i-kI American cheese about the strength of that used in making a Welsh rarebit. Cut off the hard crusts of the bread, slice and butter, laying slices loosely in the baking dish with alternate layers of che- Be. cut in thin slices. Beat one egg and add a quart of milk with a pinch of salt. Pour this mixture over bread and cheese, and h t it soak until every slice is thoroughly moistened. Bake thirty-flve to forty-five minutes until brown on top as in bread pudding. Serve on hot plates and quickly, the hotter the better.

STATE MUSIC SOCIETY

STOCKHOLDERS HOLD FIRST MEETING AM) ELECT THE DIRECTORS.

Indiana Musical Art Association to Be Incorporated To-Day Its Construction and Purposes.

The stockholders of the Indiana Musical Art Association held their first meeting yesterday afternoon, at the Commercial Club. Hilton U. Brown was the temporary chairman and Mrs. R. L. Talbot, Jr., the temporary secretary. A nominating committee proposed the following members of the organization for the directorate, and they were elected: Thomas Kackley, James Whitcomb Riley, Dr. Hugo O. Pantzer, Major Taylor, C. N. Kendall, Bement Lyman, August Schnull, Albert Lieber, D. M. Parry, George Bliss, Armin C. Koehne, Samuel E. Moras, Harry C. Atkins, M. H. Spades, Clarence Gennett (of Richmond), Nathan Morris, Ray Van Camp, Marvin Maxwell and Louis Reese. The organization's articles of Incorporation will be filed with the secretary of state to-day, and a meeting of the directors will be held tomorrow afternoon, at 4 o'clock, at the Commercial Club, for the purpose of electing effleers. The capital stock of the association Is $10.000. in shares of $30 each. For the first year of the organization it is stipulated that the holder of each share of stock is entitled to two tickets for the festival to be given next May, in Tomlinson Hall. Tickets for the best seats will be sold to the general public at the same rate as to the stockholders. The association's purpose is to stimulate interest in music in this city and the State. Though It has been deemed best that its first operation shall be a festival, with chorus, symphony orchestra and soloists, it is not intended that the organization shall devote itself to giving annual festivals, and after this year it is expected that it will undertake a series of musical enterprises in various forms. Before the festival a passive membership Is to be organized, and women will be asked to interest thmselvse in it particularly.

To the Editor of the Indiana polin Journal. In your issue of the 2d inst. I notice a clipping from the Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph upon the ubiquitous question, the 'Army Canteen." The writer evidently thinks he states the question in a nutshell when he says: "The army canteen question has resolved itself into this whether it is better to allow the sale of beer within government reservations, under careful reftrictions, or to forbid its sale therein and permit the soldiers to go outside and drink all sorts of liquors, sold by unscrupulous and irresponsible persons, and to fall into other temptations." With becoming modesty I desire to take issue with th wriier. and deny that such is the question. Suppose we admit that saloons (if conducted 1 y ' unscrupulous, irresponsible persons" they have no right to a government license) have been allowed to grow up around the military posts nince abolishing the canteen, and further admit that drunkenness has increased and discipline suffered, where does the fault lie and what is Cue remedy? The Chroni. Telegraph writer would have us believe that the cause was abolishing the canteen and the remedy the restoration of the same. In othtr words, the institution that mak drunkards of our soldiers must be patted on the back by our paternal government, brought under its sheltering wings, so that one and all may "have something" every day. Shame on uch a proposition! Who does not know that this throws about the drinking a semi-respectability and the temptation is brought directly under the nose of those, the vast majority, who would not go outside to hunt it; who, seeing their '-mrade8 and officers drinking daily, easily fall a prey to the drink habit, and to a large per cent, this means ruin to body and soul in the end. This means that a large number of our soldiers graduate from this school of vice inebriates, who otherwise would be sober, respectable men. It is estimated that of the old etcrans in the various military homes there Is not to exceed 7 per cent that drink to excess; these get out. some of them occasionally raise Cain, and these few so characterize the whok that some seem to think they are all a set of drunkards. The fact is that, with few xceptiona. they are sobrr. orderly men. and a large per cent, teetotalers. 80 It must not be thought, because a few soldiers occasionally break the bonds of discipline, "run the picket" and escape to a neighboring saloon and "have a time," that all t:.

soldiers are hankering after the vile stuff, and in order to keep them from deserting this beautiful sirery must be brought Inside. It is true that under lax discipline and where access t liquors is easy the amount of drinking is increased, and at some posts the per cent. Is hljch. Tht- tad. however. remains th.u comparatively few will go to extreme measures to get liquor, and under severe discipline this can be reduced to the minimum. Now 1 ask. shall we endanger the many for the sake of a few incorrigibles? Tbm Chronicle-T iegraph wriu . j .. 1 voice the sentiment of their great Christian Nation when I say no, a thousand times no! You ask. then, what Is the remedy? First, firm discipline and my experience has been thst most soldiers obey officers whom they either love or fear; second, ourt-martial the Incorrigibles, dismiss them and fill their p'sces with sober men. "If an eye offends, pluck it out." It Is repeatedly stated that array officers generally favor the canteen. It Is a lamentable fact that a large number of our army officers are net temperance men; hence the allowance must be made for their lax discipline upon the one hand and their advocacy of the canteen upon the other. The writer disclaims any Intention of doing Injustice to our brave army officers, whose lives, especially upon the frontier, are filled with privations and hardships, but candor compels him to think that, according to his limited observations. mot of them drink, and many of them to excesa. During and subsequent to the war of the rebellion the writer spent about fve years in the government service, a part of the time on the Western frontier, where he was almost daily thrown in contact with officers of the army. At that time the sutler sold the liquor, and he did a thriving business. So prevalent was drinking that not to drink meant practically social ostracism. The consequence was that most of our officers ft-U tctimf to the drink habit to a greater or law xtrnt. One very sad case came to my knowledge. A brilliant young officer from the Hast, whose parents were wealthy and stood high socially, was gradually brought under this blighting curse of drink, until finally, feeling that he waa ruined and life had nothing more for him. he courted death, and during a fight with the Indians he needlessly exposed himself and was killed. It is to save our officers, as well as enlisted men. thst the writer pleads in the name of all that Is pure and good to keep away the army canteen. It may be true that the amount of liquor drunk by the enlisted men may be regulated by the ortict rs. but who will regulate the officers? Converse. Ind.. Dec. 1 W. J. CARTER.
