It with every meaps in" iAy'-Vwcr.nl. -Indeed; I sltall; hardly. fc.iv the ruurase to ro back home if th Jilil ia r.isV.Wia spite ( the light that I Aaii mnktf against it. Thc great, overpowrrlnr? Tftoral clement in Indiana rkmarids iliat. ve take jio bacKwaru step in tcia- . jirance legislation. We fought too Ions 'and too hard to obtain the little power we liave against the liquor Interests to relinquish an inch of the grounl Rained. I am not a Inhibition rrnnk. I do not for one minute believe that it is possible to legislate away men's bad habits, or that we can do aw.ry with the drink evil by enactments of the General Assembly. But -l do hold that every community should Jiavc the right to say that no saloons hall be conducted therein, if the-large-ma -jortty:ot tire voters qf that community, are oprcst-d to saloons... Under the blanket . remonstran' 'law they can do that. If the law Is repealed, they cannot. Itepeal ' the law and the brewers will get a saloon Into any ward or township that they desire to "enter, because they can wear the . opposition ont. They will put up A as an ."applicant. The temperance people get up ' a remonstrance and shut him out. Then they put up H, and again the remonstrance lis forthcoming, but by th tlmo the brewers have put up half a dozen, or a dozen -men. If- necessary; the temperance leaders, "and It always, devolves on a-few. men to da the real 'workr will find when they go out to secure signatures to their remonstrance -that the people are tired of being asked 1 continually to sign their names to such -lepers and will refuse to continue Indefinitely. As a result the , brewers eventually triumph. r AVILL IT TURN ITS BACK? 'The Republican party passed the Jslch--Jolson law and gained thereby the support of thousands of the best citizens of our "State. AVIll the party turn Its back on these ' ptople now to cater to the worst element m Indiana? There is a powerful political argument against the repeal of . the. , blanket .remonstrance law, but the. moral plea Is stronger still, and I believe that It will prevail. I know that the bill that 'Is now In the-House will meet with f strong and united opposition, if. It ever 'reaches the Senate, but I rely on the representatives to defeat It and gain the honor for.ao doing." . - . Kenator Burns," of South Bend, on the . ether. hand, is a supporter of the bill,. and believes that It should be passed. His arguments are similar to those advanced by Itepresentatlve Luhrlng, Senator Dausman ;;and other. leaders of the Senate it is understood, will also vote for the bill If It comes' before them.. . ;.. ' It 13 rumored that the brewers have in.tlmateti that they have $100, 000 to spend In pushing their bill, but it 13 difficult to .trace the rumor to a reliable source. Sen- . atcr Lindley said that he had heard it. but knew nothing: of its rellablity. "I don't care If th?y have twice that amount,' he said, "for I do not believe that that kind of Influence will have any effect on this Legislature. The m mbers are not of the timber to listen to money arguments." Althougn ha did not say so. Senator Llnd--Jey evidently does not believe that :"tho jingle of the guinea" will help "the hurt that honor feels" so far as the members of the Sixty-third General Assembly aro concerned.

BASEBALL BILL FAVORED. Senator Bnrus end Damnum Say JVay It Shoold lie Passed. " am heartily in favor of the bill providing that professional baseball may be played 'In Indianapolis on Sunday," said Senator Burns, of Souih 'Bend, last evening, "in spite of the fact that I have received a number of letters urging me to vote against it. Most of the letters came from women who assailed the bill on the grounds that it would bring temptation to boys and -young men and argued that it should be killed for the sake of the coming generation. I made a little investigation In regard to tho writers of several of the letters. of this character and made a remarkable discovery they were all old maids or childless married women who have no boys of their own to look after and consequentWASHER, WEATHER TO-DAY. -Ilain Throughout Indiana Tomorrow -Wind Becoming Northwest.

ly can devote all their time to looking after those of other people. - .V We. have- a minister In 'South - Bend of the broad, liberal type that is so rare, espertallyhere in yonr eitv judging from what 1 hear. In a conversation thatI had with hm at,.-one tme I'.told hm that I hid u weakness for. the national sport that led me to "attend a game on Sunday afternoons once in a -while. I expected him to argue with mo that Sunday basebail was radically wrong, but to my surprise he replied that If I never did anything worse than go to see a ball game on the Sabbath he would not be concerned about my spiritual welfare." Senator Dausman Is another member of the upper house who will vote for the Indianapolis baseball bill, and he relates an experience he had with th.e class of peo-,I-le that oppose such things which led hinl to his present convictions, i "At one time a movement was started in Goshen to have Sunday afternoon concerts in one of our parks by a first-class band," he said. "There was violent opposition to the project,- arid in tracing if down -we found that, the preachers and the saloon keepers were working hand in hand against the Sunday concerts. The preachers thought that if there were -no concerts the people would stay at their homes on Sunday afternoons and roll their thumbs, or indulge in some equally exciting pastime. The saloon keepers knew that if there were no concerts a great many of the people would spend the afternoon in their back rooms guzzling beer. I believe that the saloon keepers were right, but wasn't it a peculiar thing to find them and the preachers working in such harmony? " "Sunday afternoon at a ball game, such as it is proposed to legalize in Indianapolis, will hurt no one, and it will keep many a young man and many an old one from diversions Infinitely worse." The baseball bill will probably be disposed of by the Senate this week. It "is believed that it will be passed, in spite of the activity displayed by some of the preachers of the city In adopting resolutions and circulating petitions denouncing it. iMroitTAvr bills rmniNG.

Meaiore Ilepcalins llnrrett nml Art''inan LaAva School CorporationsTlire are several important bills pending In tho House that have not received a great deal of attention up to the present time, three' of them, relating to municipal affairs, being of -'special Interest to every city, in the State, aside from those .operating under 'Special charaters. These three measures have been reported favorably, by the; House committee on cities and towns and will be handed down on second reading tojnorrow." - . Representative Müramert, of . Goshen, stands sponsor or two öf therd. Onelof his bills-repeals the Artman and Barrett improvement laws, and the other provides that, .the ? terms of all municipal officers shall.be four years in length, and, by committee amendment, makes the mayor and marshal ineligible to re-election. The former, tir addition to repealing the present improvement laws, provides a new law, similar In many respects to the Barrett law. The Artman law, which was . an amendment to the Barrett law, contained a provision by which remonstrators, even if not in the majority, could delay or actually prevent proposed improvements. This ia the objectionable feature that the new law seeks to remove. Under the terms of the bill common councils will have the power to. force Improvements In - spite of remonstrances. Mr. Mummert's second measure does not affect the terms of officials now in office. For this reason it may lose some of the support that was originally expected to be behind It. The third of the bills in question was Introduced by Mr. Bell. It provides that school corporations shall be separate from municipal corporations so far as the 2 per cent., debt limit is concerned.. Under the existing laws the two corporations are held to be one when.it comes to issuing bonds. Mr. Bell's bill will make It possible for tho school corporation and the municipal corporations each to issue bonds to an amount equal to 2 per cent, of the assessed valuation of the realty of the city. , There is a great demand for such a law," said Mr. Bell last evening, "especially from the smaller and more rapidly growing cities of the State, and 1 regard its as a very Important measure. Many of the cities of the State have reached the limit of their bonded indebtedness and yet their school facilities are wholly inadequate. The cities have been improvident and have expended the money for other municipal improvements to the neglect of the schools, until they find themselves .unable to take caro of the school children. This bill will afford them reuef. "I realize that there is a strong prejudice to an Increase in the .bonded indebtedness limit, .but the limit in this. State is much lower, than in almost all the. other States, and J do not believe, that a prejudice should stand In-the vway of. the Improvements. In our cities that are actually, needed." . . ; ' -r . . "-. .. . For Judges' Expenses. Senator Dausman, of Goshen, will introduce two new bills this week, one of which, at least, will be of more than usual interest. It provides that in judicial circuits and superior courtclrcults composed of more than one county -the Judges shall be given an extra allowance of .$300 per year to pay their traveling expenses. .A bill similar to this was offered" two years ago,. but it was killed because it contained a provision that the Judges should render a sworn itemized statement of traveling expenses before receiving the allowance .The second of Senator Dausman's bills provides that an executor. or administrator, before' compromising any claim or changing any contract belonging to the estate in his charge, must lay the matter before the Judge of the Circuit Court. The bill is an outgrowth of a case in which an executor extended the time on a promissory note due the estate he controlled; the extension released, the sureties, and .the estate lost the amount of the note. Snsra-estlon from Mr. Dell. Representative Bell, of Union City, suggested an amendment for all the salaryincreasing measures now pending, which, if adopted, would result in a sudden loss of Interest on the part of nine out of ten of the men who are now lobbying for the bills. "Insert an amendment providing that the Increases shall not affect present incumbents of these offices," said Mr. Bell, "and the representatives and senators will not be pestered to death by a lot of officials who are so active in the lobby at present. These men are not supporting the bills because they think that the offices are not sufficiently lucrative and think so so strongly that they will unselllshly labor for their successors. There are too many of these salary-increasing bills practically every officer from township assessor to supreme judge wants to dip deeper into the public treasury." Representative Canttrell Detter. Representative Cantwell, who was taken so seriously III Friday morning at the Statehouse, was reported last night to be In a greatly Improved condition. His physicians are now very hopeful of his recovery. He is gaining strength rapidly and" there are no symptoms of a recurrence of the hemorrhage that so nearly cost him his life. A number of Mr. Cantwell's friends among the members of the Legislature called at St. Vincent's yesterday and a few of them were permitted to see him and converse with him for a few minutes. He expressed, a great anxiety to recover sufficiently to return to his work in tha House at an early date, but even if he continues to improve as rapidly as at present It will be several days before his physicians consent to his attempting to resume his legislative duties. Legislator Visit Their IIoiis. Tractlcally all the members of the Legislature went home to spend Synday and yesterday the. Senate Chamber and Hall of Representatives were deserted, save for the Irrepressible pages, who wish that the weeks were months in length, and a few clrrks. A stray member or two dropped in for an hour during the afternoon, but they found.it so lonesome that they regretted that they, too, had not taken advantage of the opportunity for a week-end visit at home. Stolen Letters Rifled. TOLEDO. Jan. 31. Over 500 letters were found buried in a lumbvr yard this afternoon. Every envelope had been slit, but money orders and checks to the value of several hundred dollars which could not be disposed of without danger of. detection were left undisturbed. Th envflopes were rifled of Jewtiry, cash and New Year's gifts.

"Any bills receivable ? v . . v"None." "Any other chattels?" n , 1 ; "I have some, -but my debts far. exceed them in value. I-borrow large ; sums of money to conduct my business millions of dollars, and I know that I am not liable to a persoual tax." "Will you take an oath to this effect?" the commissioner inquired. "I don't care to take any oath," Mr. Morgan replied firmly. He then made the offer quoted above. It was promptly accepted, and Mr. Morgan left the office. . . : Jacob IL Schiff, of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., yesterday said än assessment of tJOO.000 on personality was too high, and volunteered to pay, on $200,000. The offer was accepted. George W. , Vanderbilt had his assessment reduced in the same manner from 91,000,000 to $50,000. John R. Drexel, on the rolls as the owner of $100,000 In personality, swore that he was a resident of Rhode Island, and his name was erased. TO COST $60,000,000. Murray A. Yerner's Scheme for the Modernizing; of St. Petersburg. NEW YORK, Jan. 31. Tteferring to the negotiations that have been long pending for the construction of an electric traction system in St. Petersburg, the American tomorrow will say: "After more than a year's practically incessant negotiations with the various Russian authorities, Murray A. Verner, of Pittsburg, backed by New York capital, has gained the Important concession. The entire construction will cost not less than $60.000,000. The offer of the American syndicate was in the first instance rejected by the St. Petersburg municipal authorities, they being hostile to foreign tenders - in general and to the American scheme in particular.

Witte,, the Russian minister of finance, who has, according to private advices Just to hand, finally approved the enterprise. . ..

The appraisal ot the estate of the late Augustin Daly, filed to-day, shows that after the payment of his debts and - liabilities there is a deficiency. 'Jot $28,40). The assets includrnl th Imsp nhA rrn-wl .will, ppnprv and property of Dalv's Theater, which are valued at $30,000; other scenery " and cos tumes, 5-"3,C0Q; library, pictures, furniture, etc., $355,056; Daly's Theater, London, and contracts, -with' George Edwards, of . the Gaiety Theater, London, $70,526.

Daly, who is one of the executors of the estate, said to-night: "The report of the appraisers refers only to conditions existing at the time of my brother's death. It is true that he died owing many thousands of dollars in excess of his assets. Equally true it is that the generous bequests provided for in his will could not have been carried into effect at the time of his death: He evidently did not realize his financial weakness. But I am pleased to be able to say that the estate has developed splendidly under the management of- the executors. Some of the greatest Daly successes have been scored since my brother's death. As a gratifying result we shall be able to pay every bequest and do handsomely by my brother's widow, the residuary legatee." TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. .

FIRE IN ASSAY OFFICE

MrLLIONS' WORTH OF TREASt RE EX DANüERED AT SEW YORK. Cioltl and Silver llulllun Ilastily Locked in Vault Nitric Acid Suploetl to Hare Isnited Fines. NEW YORK, Jan. Sl.-Fire broke out today in a laboratory of the second floor of the United States assay office, which is next door to the subtreasury, and destroyed a portion of the roof and upper story and some of the apparatus. Chief Assayer Torey said the loss on the apparatus probably wculd not exceed $2,000 and that the loss on the building would be nominal. He thought the business of the assay office, which amounted to about seventy-five assays a day, would not be Interrupted longer than three or four days. Mr. Torey believed that nitric acid, which Is used in testing bullion, wa.i tho cause of the fire. He said it might have eaten into the wooden flue which leads from the glass basins .where the gold and silver bars are melted and subjected to chemical action. The flames, which were first seen in one of these flues, toon got "beyond, control. An alarm was turned in and the sixty-five government employes in the building hastened to save the millions of treasure in their care. There was about $40,000,000 in bullion in the vaults and about Jl.5uC.0uo lying outside in various parts of the building. The $1,500,000 and about $100,0o0 in a melted state, as well as records, -were hastily locked In the vaults. Thou the employes hurried out. , Assayer Torey, who has been employed In the building for forty years, 'said it was the firtit serious fire in the assay office. Several times the flues for conducting the fumes up the chimney had caught, but the flames had always been put out easily. The building is historic. Before it began to be used as an assay office, forty years ago, it was a government mint, and for a time it was the United States or government bank. . The structure is of gray stone aud brick and very old-fashioned. Loss of r00,000 and Fireman Killed. SACRAMENTO. Cal., Jan. 21.

The distribution of bituminous coal at cost price by the 'city was inaugurated to-day. Hundreds of persons, mainly women, gathered at the city collector's office and at the various points of distribution throughout the city, and it was demonstrated early In the day that the estimate of 150 tons a day would prove inadequate to meet the demand. A hurried consultation resulted in the restricting of the amount sold to each person to one-half ton, instead of a ton, as originally planned. It is estimated that lJOO tons would be required to meet the demands of .the first day. A schedule of 'prices' varying according to the cost of delivering the fuel to the distributing points was rixed. ranging from $2.20 to $2.35. "it will be Impossible to fully meet the demand," said Commissioner of .Public vv orks Block, who is in charge of the municipal coal yard, but we hope to be able to secure a large. enough dally supply to prevent suffering from absolute want, we shall have at least 200 tons a day to sell, and doubtless could get an-adequate supply If the. railroads could deliver it to us.

"Speaking of marriage, reminds me of a Kood story told by a very popular priest out in St. Charles Parish," said a story teller, "and the priest ,s very ond telling the story himself. I doubt If he has performed a marriage ceremony in the last five years without regaling the bride and groom with the story after it was all over. The priest is awfully fond of the funny side of things, and often uses the laughable incident in teaching a moral, and that's why the priest always tells about his Jittle experience while marrying a couple a few years ago. The facts in the case are about these: Several years ago a young couple In the parish were married by the priest in the little chapel of one of the parish villages. He had known the couple for a long time, and had been very fond of the young man. The wedding was rather sudden. The bride and groom wanted to add Just a tinge , of romance to the thing by slipping away from their friends, by surprising them. Not more than a half dozen persons were in the chapel.. After the ceremony was over the young man called the priest to one side and whispered something to him. it was, in substance, that he 'had but little money with him. that he needed, what he had, and that he would fix the matter up later. 'Not much, my boy, not much said the priest with mock seriousness, "and if you don't Day me now this thing is an oft. it simply doesn't go. that's all. I'll simply wlpe.it all out, nullify the marriage. The groom was paralyzed. If you can t pay the priest for marrying you how in. the name of, high heaven are you going to take, care of a wife? asked the priest.' Well, the young man fixed - the thing upi Of - courses the priest dldn t mean all he said, but. he did mean to Impress on the young man -the philosophy of the last remark, and he put the young husband's resourcefulness to the test right-on .the threshold of his career. No man in the parish takes more pride In the success that . the young man has achieved since then than the priest who married him, for much of his success is due to the .brusque way. in which the priest put a rather plain, but Important question to him." Restaurant for Negroes. Philadelphia Record. ." J . "My business calls me to New -York a couple of days every week," said a manufacturer, "and I have a friend over there who is continually showing- me some new and strange phase of metropolitan life. He has a knack of hunting out places that are little known to the general public, and are consequently all the more interesting. One evening last week he steered me to a restaurant called the Marshallette, which is patronized exclusively by the swell col ored people. Would you believe It, we couldn t get served; or, rather, alter tne manager had explained-things to us, we didn't insist. The prices are as high as at any of the first-class restaurants on Broad way; high enough to keep out the undesirable element. There Is a considerable popu lation of well-to-do colored people over there, and this restaurant Is their very own. It is In the heart or the colored tneatrical colony, and among the celebrities pointed out to us on our brief visit were Williams and Walker, the comedians; Sisseretta Jones, otherwise known as the 'Black Pattl and Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the poet." The distracting headaches from which co many women suffer make life a daily purgatory. If men suffered with heaaache as women do, business would be almost at a stanstill. Does not the fact . that men do not suffer from these severe headaches suggest that there must be a womanly cause for them ?
