now. and vet there are a great many crimes committed tht are not premeditated, but .rsult from the combined use of whisky and gunpowder. The carrying of concealed weapons by other than travelers 1 made a crime In this State, and yet. thousands of lawless characters carry these weapons. Uurjrlary Is a crime for which there la no excuse. In some States burglary is made a capita! crime. I suggest for your consideration, whether it ought not bo so defined in Indiana. Certain it is that more restrictive legislation Is needed to prevent unauthorized persons from carrying firearms, frequently persons crazed with drink use the ready revolver with deadly effect, and yet the ?ame penen when ?obcr would be harmless. I arnvronvlnccd. that there Is a need for legislation looking to the licensing o? designated officers to carry revolvers and prohibiting the sale thereof, to other persons. Highwaymen, footpads and burglars can freely purchase revolvers, and yet, by law, we make it a felony for them to carry the fame. We mmt strike at the root of the evil and resuUte the pale as well as the carrying of such weapons. Honest men art compelled to be prepared for defense "when at every turn of the mad they may be held up and robbed by those who go about armed for attack. Fee and Salaries. The fee and salary act of 1S33 was a step In the risht direction, in that it placed the officers of the State upon a basis of annual

salaries and provided for the conversion of all fees Into the public treasury. It has leen demonstrated that there arc inequalities in the compensation paid state officers, also in the different counties of the State, and In the case of the State's judiciary the salaries named arc inadequate for the du nes performed. I am a firm believer that inc salaries of ruo'ic officers should be cpon a liberal basis and that in return the ery best service is due to the people from the Incumbents of positions charged with the responsibilities of a public trust. I believe this Legislature would be recognizing a just demand that comes up from many counties looking to the readjustment of the scale of salaries now allowed by law, and should enact a new statute covering the salaries to be paid for the filling of the Offices in the State. The present law fully pays officers in eome counties and under pays those in others where the labors are practically enual. There should be an equalization of salaries', not necessarily an increase In all cases. The report of the fee and salary commission to the Legislature or 1301.13 replete with information cr value. Uniformity In Time of Expiration of 4 the Terms of Officer. There is throughout the State a wide di versity In time of expiration of terms of Judges and county officers. Under the law as it now exists the calendar year has been determined upon as the fiscal year for coun ty and township business. It is manifestly to the best Interests of the State that the terms of officers as nearly as possible cnoula expire at the end of the year. It Is likewise for the public cood that ifflcers should go Into office on the 1st of January succeeding their election. I recom mend, therefore, that the terms of all cir cuit, superior and criminal court judtres. as well as county officers', begin on the 1st day of January succeeding their election. This can be accomplished by one law. compre hensive in character, providing that the terms of such officers hereafter elected shall begin on the 1st of January next after their election. As it now is, there are a number of judges In Indiana who are elected nearly two years before they take . office, and there are many county officers who do not take oflice for more than a year and some of them nearly two years after their election. Thl3 result 13 not. In my opinion, for the best interest of the public or of public business. To eliminate thi3 objectionable feature of the law provision should be made whereby all such officers shall not be elected until the general elec tion immediately preceding the time for taxing omce. Pardon Hoard. By the Constitution the pardoning power Is vested in the Governor. It is impossible for him to know' all of the conditions that surround the cases wherein application is made for executive clemency. Tho work of requiring the rules of executive practice to be complied with, examining the cases, hearing evidence, if necessary, and listening to appeals in behalf of those who apply tor clemency, is or necessity very burden some upon the Governor, and the results are unsatisfactory4. There Is neither time nor opportunity to fully investigate the cases, lint one side of the case is. as a iule, presented to the Governor. I recommend ih&t a board, to be known as a parole or pardon board. nou!d be created by law hu puwir io examine eacn case wnerein application is made for clemency and to re port to the Governor the results of such examination, together with any recommendatlons they may have. The large volume of business that nasses throuch the executive office prevents the proper study of these cases. Fully one-third of the time of the executive is taken up in the details of application for paroles and paraons. (ioveramcnt Surveys. -The Department of the Interior, at Wash ington, has called my attention to the embarrassment employes of the Geological .Survey experience in the prosecution of ineir worK, ana nas proposed a bill to be Introduced in Indiana and other States obviating this difficulty, and such a meas ure win be presented for your considera tion. State Architect. In Connection With the rennrt of the legis lative committee it will be observed that -ery iarge sums ot money are annually expended by the State in erecting new buildings, remodeling old ones and installing 'heating; lighting and water plants therein. Jt will be further observed that a great deal of money is annually required to purchase fuel for these institutions. I am sure ii woum result in the saving of many thousands of dollars annuallv if tho Ktata some skilled architect who could supervise the construction and repair of buildings and the Installation of proper heating, lighting and water systems therein. Under the present plan these plants are as varied is the number and character nf institu tions. I would urge upon you immediate consideration of the proposition of providing by law for the appointment of an architect who would have general supervision of the construction of buildings and the planning of heat, light and water plants n me various siaie institutions.

Provision has been made for some of the classes of unfortunates in our State, but there is yet a class that should receive your earnest consideration the epileptics. It la a subject for Investigation as to the best way to provide for this class and also the extent to which provision should be made. I have in a limited way investigated what provisions have been made by other State. My conclusion and the recommendation I make to you is that the matter shall be referred to a commission to be created which ehall investigate all matters pertinent to me suDject and provide a plan and muice such recommendations to the next General Assembly as in Its Judgment is the proper solution to the problem. It is. In my opin ion, a subject of too great importance 10 be decided hastily and without thorough investigation. Suggestion i3 made that great relief will be furnished our hospitals for the Insane by establishing an institution for epileptics. My investigation revealed that such has not been the case in other States. Rejort is made by some States that the care of this class has created a new class of dependents. I be lieve it would be wise to proceed slowly and upon intelligent lines. Indiana Reformatory. A number of prisoners now in the Indiana Reformatory at Jeffersonville have been convicted for a second or subsequent offense. It Is the Judgment of those who have studied the question that all male persons ot adult age, convicted for a second offense, should be sent to the State Prison at Mich igan City, instead of the Reformatory at Jeffersonville. To that end I recommend that in all cases where otherwise the ac cused would be sentenced to the Indiana Reformatory, the law should be amended so as to require the prosecuting attorney to show in each case and the court to find whether the accused had theretofore been convicted of crime, and that such fact be shown in the Judgment; that in each case where such prisoner had been theretofore so convicted,- he be sentenced by the court to confinement in the State Prisorf. In this connection permit me to call your attention to tne law governing the transfer of pris oners from the Reformatory to the State's iTiscn. mere is now no provision in law for transferring control over such transferred prisoners from the offices of the Reformatory to the offices of the State Prison. Proper legislation is therefore needed to give to the authorities at the State Prison authority to parole such prisoners trans ferred, as tne law now stands, the authority to parole remains invested in the Parole Board of the Reformatory. Kpltf enilcM. During the last two years smallpox has been prevalent in many counties of the State. The State Board of Health has been energetic and effective In assisting in stamping it out. They have, however, been handicapped by lack of laws that would make quarantine effective, and provide for the punishment of those who break a quarantine once established. The health of our people should be paramount to all other considerations. I recommend that specific appropriation be made for the use of the State Board of Health to enable them to combat the spread of contagious and infec tious diseases, and that additional legislation be had enlarging the powers of the State, county, and city boards of health respecting the adoption and enforcement of quarantine regulations. Also, for the pun ishment of those who violate the provisions inereoi. Lynching1. In the past two years there has been a marked decrease in the violations of law consequent upon mobs and masked citizens taking the law into their own hands and visiting vengeance upon their victims. The antl-lynchlng law of 1901 has been effective in that the sheriff, of Sullivan county, after a full and fair hearing before the chief executive, was found not to have per formed his duty in properly protecting the life of a prisoner from the assaults of a mob that succeeded in carrying into effect their purpose of lynching. The sheriff was deposed from oflice. as provided by law. and I believe the effect of this action will have a very salutary influence, not only In this State.. but In other States where public attention has been attracted through the enforcement of our very wholesome law. Enrolled Dills. In the hlirrv of leclslatlnn them aro fre quently presented to the Governor enrolled till l L oiiis in wnicn- cnanRes'or erasures nave been made. Such changes may be mere corrections, or tney may be intentional erasures. Kor the mutual nrnt -t inn nf all t am convinced that a law is needed providing ror tne printing or engrossed and enrolled bills from esneclatlv riisrnrl tvr k copyrighted and held as the property of the State. The result of mich a H am sure, will be much more satisfactory man tne present system. ' Trusts. The evolution along commercial, indus trial and financial lines has resulted in combinations representing almost every business, and the effect Is now being most seriously considered by the public in relation to its Interest. It should always be remembered that corporations secure every legal privilege through legislation. The people are the real grantors and can never be dissociated in their ever-present rights after incorporation. In all corporations the public is on both sides. The inteerltv of invested capital, whether by individuals or corporations, should never be menaced in its lawful rights. When encroachment is made by crossing tho border line of public policy or public interest, then the law should assert itself to the end that the people may have proper protection. The Legislature is the source of power and prevention in every detail of corporate and public interest connected with this new and most Important question, and I most earn estly recommend that, without prejudice and In the exercise of conservative Judg ment, sucn legislation as may be necessary shall be enacted that will guard the wel fare of the people of Indiana aeainst any contingency of wrong associated with these modern methods of concentration and combination in forwarding the expanding volume of business that is Increasing with the growth of this prosperous republic. In conclusion, I desire to impress upon your honorable bodies the responsibility which has been Intrusted to you by the voters of this commonwealth. They have confided their weal to your hands and will look to you for a faithful discharge of their trust. Let j-our counsels and actions be moderate and fair: that when you have performed your duty the citizens whom you represent may say that your deeds are creditable to themselves and to you. The Sew Federal Building. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: The design for the new federal building is beautiful except the New York street front. This is really not a front, but more properly is the rear of the building. It faces University Park and will be the most conspicuous cf all sides of the building and should logically receive as much con sideratlon as any front of the edifice. It is ugly and made doubly so by having Romanesque arches and straight Greek lintels to openings on the same level. It is absolutely necessary to change this and make it con form in architectural style to the other fronts, thus harmonizing the whole ex terior. The public has a right to criticise designs for a great public building and ask for corrections, because the federal govern ment has made so many very bad mistakes. The government should set noble examples of beautiful architecture that will tend to elevate public taste in the greatest of arts. It is a dreadful thing to have a great public building built in bad architectural style. All bad art is debasing. No American with any feeling for architectural art can look on the New York postofficc building without feeling: humiliated to think that the government built it. A new customhouse is being constructed In New York city at great cost. Its exterior is very elaborately decorated, but from the curb to the top of its homely mansard roof it is writhing in ugliness. If the University Tark front of the federal building can be changed so as to harmonize In style with the other three sides, and a front designed equal In beauty to the Ohio street facade, we will then have the most beautiful public building in America. FLAXDUAU. Indianapolis, Jan. 6. Terminated the Discussion. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Supervising Architect Knox Taylor's impatience with the people of Indianapolis for talking so much about their new federal building, coupled with Mr. Bryce's or somebody'swarning that we are In danger of establishing an official aristocracy here in our United States, reminds me of a little Incident. Some years ago, when rates for postoffice money orders were higher than they are now and the newspapers were talking for their reduction, I remarked, when buying one one day, that I thought the newspapers were rignt, that the charges for money orders were too hlih. "Well, we

The House Opposite A MYSTERY

CHAPTER XIV. MY HYSTERICAL PATIENT. That night I could not fcleep, and when, on receiving my mail the next morning, 1 found that it contained no line from Fred my anxiety could no longer be kept within bounds, and I determined that, come what might, another day should not pass without my seeing May Derwent. I left the hospital as soon as I decently could, but even so it was almost 1 o'clock before I was once more on my way to Beverley. On arriving there I found, to my disgust, that there were no cabs at the station. An obliging countryman offered to "hitch up a team," but I declined, thinking it would be qulcjcer to walk than to wait for it, as the Derwents house was hardly a mile off. A delicious breeze had sprung up and was blowing new life Into me, and I should have enjoyed my walk except for the fact that, as my visit must necessarily be a short one, I begrudged every minute spent away from May Derwent. I was, therefore, trudging along at a great rate, entirely absorbed In reaching my destination in the shortest possible time, when 1 was sur prised to perceive in the distance a woman running rapidly towards me. As there was neither man nor beast in sight, I wondered at the reason of her haste. A sudden illness? A fire? As the flying figure drew nearer I was dismayed to recognize May Derwent. I rushed forward to meet her, and a moment later she lay panting and trembling in my arms. As I looked down and saw her fair head lying on my breast I felt as if I were having a foretaste of heaven. I was recalled to earth by feeling her slight form shudder convulsively and by hearing an occasional frightened sob. "What has happened. May? "What has frightened you?" I feared that she would resent this use of her Christian name, but she evidently did not notice It, for she only clung the tighter to me. Mrs. Derwent, whose approach I had been watching, here joined us, hot and out of breath from her unwonted exertion. Her Indignation at finding May in the arms of a comparative stranger was such that she dragged her daughter quite roughly from me. "You must really calm yourself. May," she commanded, with more severity than I had thought her capable of. But the poor child only continued to tremble and cry. As it seemed a hopeless undertaking to try and quiet her, Mrs. Derwent and I each took her by an arm, and between us we assisted her home. As we were nearing it I saw Norman hurrying towards us. "What's the matter?" he inquired, anxiously. As May had grown gradually more composed, her mother felt she could now leave her to my care, and, joining Norman, they walked briskly ahead, an arrangement which I don't think the young man at all relished. My darling and I strolled slowly on, she leaning confidingly on me, and I was well content. "You are not frightened now?" I asked. She raised her beautiful eyes for an in stant to mine. "No," she murmured, and all I could see of her averted face was one small crimson ear. s "I hope you will never be afraid when I am with you," I said, pressing her arm gently to my side. She did not withdraw from me, only hung her head lower, so I went on bravely. "These last forty-four hours have been the longest and most Intolerable of my life!" She elevated her eyebrows, and I thought I perceived a faint smile hovering around her lips. "Indeed 1" "I hope you got some flowers I sent you yesterday?" "Yes. Didn't you receive my note thanking you for them? They were very beautiful." I loudly anathematized the post which had delayed so important a message. This time there was no doubt about it and a roguish smile was parting her lips. This emboldened me to ask: "Were these roses as good as the first lot? I got them at a different place." "Oh, did you send those also? There was no card with them." "I purposely omitted to inclose one, as I feared you might consider that I was presuming on our slight acquaintance. Besides, I doubted whether you would remember me or had even caught my name." "I had not " There was a pause. "Oh, what must you have thought of me? What must you think of me?" she exclaimed, in tones of deep distress, trying to draw her arm away. But I held her fast. "Believe me, I entertain for you thegreatest respect and admiration. I should never dream of criticising anything you do or might have done." She shot a grateful glance at me', and, seeing wc were unobserved, I ventured to raise her small gloved hand reverently to my lips. She blushed again, but did not repulse me. On arriving at the house I insisted on her lying down, and, hoping the quiet would do her good, we left her alone. On leaving the room we passed Norman pacing up and down outside, like a faithful dog. He did not offer to join us, but remained at his post. I had not questioned May as to the cause of her fright, fearing to excite her, but I was none the less anxious to know what had occurred. Luckily Mrs. Derwent was as eager to enlighten me as I was to learn. "You know. Dr. Fortescue. how I have tried lately to keep everything away from my daughter which could possibly agitate her. However, when she suggested that she would like to. walk to the village I don't ask anybody to buy them." replied the section of the government who stood behind the screen which was the truth as far as I know, and ended the dlcupslon. O. W. SEARS. Indianapolis, Jan. 7. A SEVERE THREAT. Tramp If ye don't call de dog off I'll bite him!

BY ELIZABETH KENT

Copyright. 1002. by G. P. Putnam's Sons gladly acquiesced, never dreaming that on a quiet country road anything could occur to rrighten her, nervous as she was. with the exception of last Sunday this was tho nrt time since her return from New lork that she had been willing to go outside the gate; therefore. I was especially glad the should have this little change. I offered to accompany her. or, rather, them (for Mr. Norman, of course, joined us), and wc ail three started off together. When wo had gone some distance from the house Mr. Norman remembered an important letter which he had left on his writing table. and which he was most anxious should catch the midday mall. So he turned back to get it. I noticed at the time that May appeared very reluctant to have him go. I even thought that she was on the point of asking him not to leave her, but I was glad to see that she controlled herself, for her horror of being separated from that young man has seemed to me not only silly. but very compromising. So wc walked on alone, but very slowly, so that he could easily overtake us. The road was pretty. the day heavenly, and my shaken spirits were lighter than they had been for some time." Mrs. Derwent paused a moment to wipe her eyes. "Did you happen to notice," she continued, "that clump of bushes near the bend of the road?" "Certainly." "Well, Just as we were passing those I caught sight of a horrid-looking tramp lying on his back, half hidden by the undergrowth. May was sauntering along swinging her parasol, which she had not opened, as our whole way had lain in the shade. She evidently did not see the fellow, but I watched him get up and follow us on the other side of the bushes. I was a little lrlghtened, but before I could decide what I had better do he had approached May and said something to her which I was unable to catch. It must have been something Very dreadful, for she uttered a piercing shriek, and, turning on him like a young tigress, hit him several times violently over, the head with her sunshade. Dropping everything, she fled from the scene. You know the rest." The last words were spoken a trifle austerely, and I saw that Mrs. Derwent had not forgotten the position in which she had found her daughter, although she probably considered that that position was entirely due to May's hysterical condltlcn, and that I had been an innocent factor in the situation. "What became of the tramp?" I inquired, eagerly. "I saw no one following your daughter." "He did not do so. I stood for a moment watching her tear down the road, and when again I remembered the man I found he had disappeared." "Would you know the fellow if you saw him again?" "Certainly. He was an unusually repulsive specimen of his tribe." As Mrs. Derwent had failed to recognize him, the man could not have been her son, as I had for a moment feared. "By the way. doctor. May is still bent on going to New York." "Well, perhaps it Is advisable that she should do so." "But why?" "The quiet of the country does not seem to be doing her much good, does it? Let us, therefore, try the excitement of NewYork, and see what effect that will have. Besides, I am very anxious to have Miss Derwent see some great nerve specialist I am still a very young practitioner, and I confess her case bafties me. "I see that you fear she is insane," cried Mrs. Derwent. "Indeed, I do not," I assured her, "but I think her nerves are very seriously out of order. If she goes on like this she will soon be in a bad way. If you wish me to do so I will find out what specialist I can most easily get hold of and make arrange ments for his seeing your daughter with as little delay as possible. "Thank you." My time was now almost up, so I asked to see my patient again, so as to reassure myself that she was none the worse for her fright. I found her with her eyes open, staring blankly at the celling, and from time to time her body would still twitch convul slvely. However, she welcomed us with a smile, and her pulse was decidedly strong cr. It was a terrible trial to me to see that lovely girl lying there, and to feel that, so far. 1 had been powerless to help her I thoueht that, nerhans. If she talked of her recent adventure it would prevent her brooding over It. So, after sympathizing with her in a general way, I asked what the tramp had said to terrify her so much. She shook her head feebly. "I could not make out what he was saying." 1 glanced upwards and caught a look ot horror on her mother's face. "Oh. Indeed," 1 said; "It was Just his sudden appearance which frightened you go much?" "Yes." she answered, wearily. "Oh. I wish I could go to New York," &he sighed. "I have just persuaded your mother to spend a. few days there." She glanced quickly from one to the other. 4,Really?M Mrs. Derwent nodded a tearful assent. "And when are we going?" she demanded. "To-morrow if you arc well enough." "Oh. thank you!" "But what will you do with your guest?" "Mr. Norman? Oh, he will come, too." But she had the grace to look apologetic. Once outside the room Mrs. Derwent beckoned me into her boudoir. "Well, Dr. Fortescue." she exclaimed, "what do you think of that? May turns on a harmless beggar, who has done nothing to annoy her, and beats him! She is not at all ashamed of her behavior, either." "I confess, Mrs. Derwent, I am surprised." "Oh, she must be crazy," wailed the poor lady. "No. madame simply hysterical I am sure of It. Still, this makes me more than ever wishful to have another opinion about her case." Before we parted It had been decided that the choice of suitable rooms should be left to me. Back again in New York, I went immediately in search of them. I was so difficult to satisfy that it was some time before I selected a suite overlooking the park, which seemed to me to answer all demands. May and her mother were not expected till the following afternoon, so I tried to kill the intervening time by making the place look homelike, and I succeeded. I think. Masses of flowers and palms filled every nook, and the newest magazines and books lay on the tables. I met the ladies at the station, where they parted from Norman, whom I had begun to regard as inevitable. It was. therefore, with a feeling of exultation that I drove alone with them to their hotel. When May saw the bower I had prepared for her she seemed really pleased, and thanked me very prettily. I left them after a few minutes, but not until they had promised to dine with me at a restaurant that evening. To be Continued To-morrow. A $16,000 ROSE GARDEN. A Railroad Pays Damages for Prises That Might Hare Been Won. Country Life in America. The New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad has recently paid $20,000 for the destruction of two rose gardens. In May, 1901, the railroad company set fire to three worthless old buildings which it owned at Wood's Hole, Mass. The neighboring rose gardens of Miss Hay and of Michael Walsh were ruined, apparently by poisonous gpses thrown off from the tar and gravel roofing material. An analysis of these cases showed the presence of carbolic acid, pyraclne and sulphur, all of which arc harmful to plants. The matter was referred to an auditor, who awarded more than So-ftX) to Miss Pay and more than $15.500 to Mr. Walsh. Before the cases were taken to court the railroad company paid 520,(0) in settlement. Miss Fay had a collection of 2,000 plants, of which two-thirds were destroyed. The damage was estimated by six experts all the wey from $2,500 to $7.000, the average being mor? than $5,3X. Mr. Walsh is a professional florist and a specialist in roses. He has originated many new varieties, including the Jubilee, and had received the first geld metal awarded to a rose in this country. His collection was comprised to 250 unnamed seedings and consisted largely of new varieties raised by him. The most. interesting phase of the matter 13 that Mr. Walsh sued for and practically received damages, for prizes that he might have won at exhibitions with his new roses and for the loss of advertising which he would have had if he could have exhibited In 1901. One of the experts estimated the loss from the first source at $300 to 500 and from the second $1,000. Why cough all night? Clraona cures at once

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Never ia the history of medicine has the demand for one particular remedy for female diseases equalled that attained bv Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and never during the lifetime of this wonderful medicine has the demand for it been eo preat as it is to-day. From the Atlantic to the Paciflc, and throughout the length and breadth of this great continent come the glad tidings of woman's sufferings relieved by it, and thousands upon thousands of letters are pouring in from grateful women saying that it will and positively does cure the worst forms of female complaints. 3Irs. Pinkham invites all women who aro puzzled about their health to write her at Lijnnt Mass., for advice. Such correspondence is seen by women only, and no charge is made.
