Hanna has disposed of all his business Interests which required his personal oversight, and is now merely a stockholder in only one or two of the several large concerns in which he was largely Interested.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON. Ind.. July 6. Judge J. F. McClure has received a letter from Superintendent Johnson, of the School for the Feeble-minded, in which the superintendent says a great many people are taking advantage of the opportunity to send people there who are not feeble-minded. This is especially true, he says, since the enactment of a law two years ago permitting the sending of feeble-minded women to that place to prevent the birth of more degenerates, lie holds that many persons are being sent to the institution who are not feeble-minded, but who are incorrigible, and in this way a serious injustice is being done to the institution. He calls attention to the fact that some people are pent there who might be taken care of by their friends or relatives, but are sent to the State's institution merely to escape a burden, but are not otherwise a source of menace to the public good. Superintendent Johnson believes that Insufficient discrimination is made between the sane and the feeble-minded and Is of the opinion that It is not a part of the state's charity to erect and maintain vast asylums for the women of the State who do not fall within the scope intended when the institution was founded. TO SAVE STHAWTOWM. Residents of Elwood and Vicinity Will Preserve a Landmark. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ELWOOD, Ind., July 5. The people of this vicinity are taking an active interest in the plans now under way to effect the permanent preservation of one of the most famous landmarks in this part of the State Strawtown, a little village eight miles southwest of Elwood and more particularly the old log house there in which the State j Capital Commission met eighty-three years 1 A en and selected Inrtirmnr oli to ! t ho , of the Hoosler capital. I i 1819, three years after Indiana had been admitted to statehood, it was decided to remove the capital from Corydon. in the extreme southern part of the state, to a more central location. Strawtown was one of the candidates tfor the seat of government and it was thW that the commission which was appointed to decide that matter met. Tradition has It that Indianapolis won over Strawtown by the narrow margin of one vote, one member of the commission, who favored the defeated city, having gone to White river on a tishing expedition, thinking his own town had sufficient support to win without his vote. Two years later the Indiana Legislature accepted the report of the commission and concurred In it. and Indianapolis, then a hamlet of a few dozen cabins, became the capital of the state. Strawtown now has a population of less than a hundred. Nearly Drowned in the Wabash. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. VINCENNES.

The grafting of frog skin on the hand of a human patient has been successfully performed at Michigan University by Surgeon Westfall. Albei t White, of Adrian, lost several square inches of skin on the palm and back of his hand. At first skin from the patient's leg was transplanted on the hand, but the growth was slow.

Untbank will retire from the presidency of Wilmington College. Wilmington, O.. on Aug. 1, have served to call attention to the fact that, while little noise is made about it, the Friends have some of the strong educational institutions of this country and that they are doing an immense amount of good. These institutions reach from the Atlantic to the Pacific and serve to show how the society has pushed forward its work with the advancement of the country. There are nine of the principal educational institutions of the Friends. They are Haverford, nine miles from Philadelphia; Bryn Mawr, ten miles from Philadelphia; Ouilford, North Carolina; Wilmington, Wilmington, O.; Inreham, Richmond, Ind.; Penn, Osknloosa, la.: Friends' University, Wichita, Kan.; Pacific, Newberg, Ore., and Whittles, California.

Shndea of Former President Said to Visit the Premises. Washington Letter. Did you know that since time out of mind the Watte House has bean haunted, just like any other o!ü placet The veteran Jerry Smith, who has oen an employe at the executive mansion for more than a quarter of a century, since he was brought there by Gen. U. S. Grant at the beginning of .the latter's Ural administration, is authority for the statement. A few dys acto I went to see him, to find out all about it. Stated in h:s eoajr parlor, he said to me: "It is the truth, the gospel truth. Ever sine- I first went to the White House I have seen the spirits of Mr. Lincoln and other presidents wan N r -ing about the premises. But Mmes are not BOW what they used to be, since all those changes m th mansion. Spirits, you know, don't like new places, and nowadays I nwer get a glimpse of Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Grant. Mr. Hayes. Mr. Arthur, Mr. Garfield or Mr. McKinley. The first time I saw anything at the White House was one evening long ago, about dusk; I just caught sight dimly of a form thai I recognized at onceas being that of Mr. Lincoln. He was going up the big stairs that led to the President's office. "After General Grant died I saw him frequently, and he soon began to talk to me. Whenever I wanted any advice or was worried whom something or other. General Grant would come in his old-time, friendly way and tell me what to do. This is the gos

pel truth that I am telling you If It had not been for General Grant's spirit telling me what to do 1 would never have kept on saving up and saving up until I owned my own home, as I now do. "After Mr. McKinley was shot he came to me very soon; but he was not able to talk only in a feeble, childfsh way for everybody knows that over there spirits just born Into the new life, so to speak, have to learn to talk all over again; according to the old saying, 'twice a child, once a man.' They have to be really born again, as the Bible says, and learn how to live and act exactly as they learned as babies in this world. At first Mr. McKinley could only make a sort of faint, buzzing sound; but I could see him clearly, and he Is learning v ry fast to communicate with mortals. "His spirit used to love to walk about the White House, until the mansion was all torn up last year; and then it disappeared from there entirely; like all the others. Of course there are plenty of white folks that taeah at my talk about spirits they think they know everything; bur what 1 say I know to be a fact, and it is a fact that all the dead Presidents have left the White House for good since the so-called improvements. They don't seem to like the change, and I don't believe they mean to be seen there any more. But they come to my house still, and any evening when I am sitting alone, quiet like, in the twilight they come right in and we have a talk." UNION TRACTION RENTALS

M MS TO BE PAID BY LESSEES AND THE METHOD OF PAYMEXT. Lease Entered of Record at Anderson Contemplated Improvements to Be Poshed to Completion. Special to the Indlanaiolis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind., July 5.-The lease on the Union Traction Company of Indiana to the Indiana Union Traction Company was placed for record with County Recorder Davis yesterday. The term is for a period of 999 years from the date of signing and the rental terms are given as follows: Two installments each year are required, payable on the 1st of January and July, beginning with a payment of $75,000 made on the 3d of July of this year. The first of the succeeding payments will be of $37,500, then three of $75,000, one of $112,500, three of $150.000 each, üve of $187,500 and the remainder, dating from January, 1911, will be of $26.000 each till the termination of the lease. The new company has taken full control of the properties, and large placards posted at the offices, waiting rooms and In public places controlled by the company, announce the change. The company officials announce that the improvements which were projected on such elaborate scale and delayed will now be pushed with all possible haste. A good deal of inteist Is being taken in the new buffet cars which are soon to be placed In commission. The company will add a line of sleepers on tHe Indianapolis Northern just as soon as that line is completed, and it is announced that cars will be run between Indianapolis and Chicago. There has been considerable difficulty encountered in securing the right of way for the company's line between Anderson and New Castle, but a deal was consummated last week that ends the trouble, and the right of way has been secured through the last strip. Work is being pushed on the grade and the engineers say that it will be' ready for the rails before winter. The extension from Muncie to Alexandria is receiving the attention of the officers, who are pushing the construction as rapidly as possible. This grade will be bullt w ith a view of fast running and will be maintained as thoroughly as any steam road in thfe country- Track men and engineers are tatving out the curves between Alexandria and Elwood, and but one now remains, which will be taken up this week. Anderson and Elwood are to be connected by a direct line which will extend through Frankton. The right of way for this construction has not been secured, but the farmers are all alont; asking for the road and no trouble will be experienced in this direction. HEALTHY CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS. Statistics Show that They Have a Flrst-Clasa Health Rate. Kansas City Journal. A report made at the annual meeting of the mother church of the Christian Science denomination indicates that Father Time will have to sharpen his scythe if he wants to cut off the members of this sect as fast as he does the rest of the human race. According to this report the death rate among Christian Scientists is extraordinarily small. The total mortality in Boston in 1102 was 1.7' per 1.000. The mortality among the Christian Scientists of the entire country during the same period was but 2.32 per 1.000. Making due allowance for the naturally greater mortality in a large city like Boston these figures are still quite striking. The comparatively low death rate among Christian Scientists might be largely accounted for, however, without any reference to their peculiar religious beliefs or practices. They are, in a sense, a picked body of men and women. Their church Is new and small, and most of its members are young or in the prime of life. A large majority of them also are people of more than average wealth, social standing and intelligence. The death rate among the same people would unquestionably be a great deal smaller than that of any large city, or any state or country, if they had no religion and took no special precautions for the protection of their health. There can be no doubt, however, that the beliefs and daily lives of the people of this interesting sect deserve some credit for the slow rate at which they die. One can consistently i. 'hint this while denying that their religion, in the strict meaning of the words. Is either Christinn or scientific. Christian Science teaches that pain, sickness, misery all human ills, in fact are mere affections of the "moral mind." Having relegated these things to the realm of the Imagination, they are bound, in consistency, to attempt constantly to minimize their effects and deny their reality. Now, every thinking person, whether scientist or not, knows that a very large proportion of human ills are partly or entirely imaginary. How many people are made and kept sick by worrying about merely trifling ailments or by fear that they may become sick, every physician knows. The knowledge that u distempered imagination may make an ill body is not confined to the Christian Scientists If they will pardon us for talking as if they admit the existence of such a thing as an ailable body. He who keeps his head under control usually can let his body care for itself. This the Christian Scientists make a religion of doing. According to their theory, sickness Is a kind of wickedness, and to imagine or has something wrong with him when he hasn't, or to magnify ills that he has, is sinful. Having converted disease into a vice and made health a cardinal virtue. It is not very surprising if they live a trifle longer than other people. One may not -in the spread of the Christian Science rehgion and may yet wish that a larger number of people might practice some of Its teachings. This would be a much brighter, healthier and huppier world if men and women universally got into the habit of magnifying their blessings and minimizing th-ir Ills of discounting ther pains and putting a premium on their pleasures.

MUST EAT ON THE FLY

PEDESTRIANS WILL GET NOTHING FROM CORNER WttiOSS. Police Will Keep Lunch Vendors Morias; Inder Klsld Orders from Superintendent Talle. La?t night marked the passing of the street-corner lunch venders in the city of Indianapolis, and hereafter all hungry pedestrians who desire a "dog" sandwich will be compelled to buy It on the fly, as the lunch carts will be kept moving by the police. Several days ago a petition signed by thirty-eight restaurant keepers was submitted to Superintendent Taffe, of the police department, stating that the lunch wagons and carts on the corners of the streets of Indianapolis were doing a great injury to the restaurant business of the city and pointing to city ordinance No. UM. which states, in substance, that no goods, wares or merchandise shall be sold on any streets or alleys in the city of Indianapolis outside of the regular store buildings. The restaurant men claimed that the lunch venders were selling In disobedience of that ordinance and asked the police to make an investigation, with a view of stopping the business. Superintendent Taffe took the matter under advisement and yesterday notified all lunch men that hereafter, if they wished to continue their business, they would be compelled to keep their carts and wagons in motion. "Beginning with to-day, the order will be enforced," said the superin tendent. ARE WOMB! CON SIDER ATE f What a Lately Deceased Frenchman Thought on the Subject. Max O'Rell. I spend so much of my time singing the praises and extolling the virtues of wonun that I set myself thinking the other day and said to same self: "Now. surely worn n have not the monopoly of everything that is good under the sun; is there not some virtue, at least some quality, which wvmen possess offener than women?" And I thought hard ana finally succeeded, 1 believe. In discovering one. Ladies. 1 am of opinion that we men, as a rule are more considerate than you of the feelings of others. That consideration is the characteristic and best trait of the perfect gentleman. Some women possess it; those whom 1 called, in an article published some time ago, gentlemanly women. But let us examine the case for women. Women are not so punctual as men, and punctuality in keeping an appointment and engagements of all sorta Is the best proof of one's consideration for the feelings of other people. Although they may be members of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, women will not get out of an omnibus when it stops before No. 52; they will let it start again and then call on the conductor to stop at No. 54, which is their destination. "Women are terrible," once said to me the conductor of a London omnibus. "Why, SSr. some of them wonder we can't take them to their bedroom door!" Women will go In a shop, wondering what it is they want, oftener wondering whether they want anything at all. They will settle down at a counter and make the assistant spread before them, one after the other, all the goods he has In his department, look at them, turn up their noses at them, and go away without any apology, without even expressing regret they did not find anything they wanted, much less saying to the poor man: "I am sorry to have made you waste your time." Maybe, before leaving the premises they will buy a yard of half-Inch ribbon for ten cents. "Now, I have always admired my sex making a purchase in a shop. They are simplyT great. "I want." they will say. "a dosen pairs of socks of such color, of such size, and the best you haveGood You are sure they are the right size? Very goodNo, no. don't take the trouble to show me any more, these will do very nicely. How much? Good Here you are Good morning." It must be a pleasure to have only men customers to serve. But see the women. Although they have found the exact article they want, you must not suppose that they are satisfied. They know they could not get anything more to their taste, anything more suitable, but they will let the poor shopgirl go on showing her goods that have to be untied, unfolded and afterward refolded and retied. That's not their business. They enjoy looking at the things. They have nothing eis to do. It does not enter their heads that they are making the shop girl waste her time and tire herself, that if they would only go away that girl might make money with another customer. They will not take all that Into consideration. It is the custom In France when you ask a street car conductor for the change of a five-franc piece to give him one or two sous for his trouble. Men very seldom fail to give him a tip for this little service rendered. But I have seen women ask for the change of a twenty-franc piece, receive It without saying. "Thank You." much less giving a tip to the conductor, who had, perhaps, emptied his money bag of all his silver to oblige them, but count and recount that change with a frown of suspicion on their brows until they were quite sure that they had not been cheated. An English waiter once said to me: "When we wait on ladies we lind it twice the work It is to wait on gentlemen. They are so exacting. They will mnke us go down stairs half a dosen times when, by giving their orders with some consideration, we should have to go only once. And, Lord, when we get a tip we go on s spree right away, it's such a wonderful surprise!" And what is it that we call feminine amenities? I forget, but I fancy that in the expression the word "feminine" could be appropriately replaced by "feline." A charming American lady, well known for her graceful hospitality, sale! to me the other day: "I would rather have ten men guests in my house for a month than a woman alone for a week." "But why?" "Because with a woman In it my house Is no longer mine. She has no consideration for my fervants, she has no consideration for myself. It is not that she Is selfish, but that she is thoughtless that is to say. inconsiderate. I will not say that she gives trouble on purpose. Perhaps she does not know or even think that she does but she does." No doubt the lack of consideration for other people's feelings which we often notice In woman's character comes from this notion, with which they generally go through life, that "you could not re fute this to a lady." or that "it Is the privilege of a lady to do this or to do that." ."Ladles first" Is a principle which I Indorse from the bottom of my heart, but many women are often too Inclined to act on it nnd to believe that, because they are women, everything should be forgiven to them. I have known women who were generous and most considerate, but It cannot be said that these virtues are typical characteristics of their sex. Au contraire. HOI sES It I'. NT FREE. Sometimes Families Are Paid to Occupy Fine English Dwellings. London Tit-Bits. I should be unable to say how many people there are living in luxurious house, both in London and the country, who pay absolutely no rent whatever, and. what is more, are paid to live in them, raid a house . y.-nt. But rather than let a house f-tand empty, especially if It Is a latge country residence with costly fittings, we prefer to let It rent free to a rellab e tenant until a ix p . r..l eupanl is torthcoming. There are .everal reasons Tor this. In the first place, member of the liaht-fln-g - ( fraternity, known as h ue stripi.. !m. are always on the lookout for expenhively decorated houses which thev can despoil while titty are waiting tor tenants. In the case of a houte which is supposed to be hsunted, or one which has fallen upon bed ttmen. it is nm. possible that it will remain unoeeui led for several months, ro it lacked a tew t altogether a virit f.-om a house-etripper might mean a loss equlvslent to several years' rnt. Again, a house always stands a better chance of Ving let If It is tenanted. Sometimes we supply the furniture ourselves, but we have several eierts who possess first-class furniture of their o-n. Bad are quite willing to flit from place to puce at our expanse, of pourtf and recommend each house to a prospektive tenant If allowed to live rent free As soon as the house Is let they pocket a commission and pack up their belongings, which are moved by us to any other locality, where they settle down again.

THE PINKHAM CURES imMTHG G&EAT ATTEJT10I AI05Ö THLiiuc noiu.

Mrs. Frances Stafford, of 243 E. 114th St., N.Y. City, adds bcr testimony to the hundreds of thousands on Mrs. Pinkham's files. When Lydia E. Pinkham's Remedies were first introduced skeptics all over the country frowned upon their curative claims, but as year after year has rolled by and the little group of women who had been cured by the new discovery has since grown into a vast army of hundreds of thousands, doubts and skepticisms have been swept away as by a mighty flood, until to-day the great good that Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and her other medicines are doing among the women of America is attracting the attention of many of our leading scientists, physicians and thinking people. Merit alone could win such fame; wise, therefore, is the woman who for a cure relies upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound Is carried on to a jrreater extent In the West End of Ixmdou th.m mst people are aware of I know of one lady, popular in society, who has not paid a single i !.ny of rent for several years, and she always resides in the most I jxtirious flat procurable. You seem surprised, but you mut bear in mind thnt au occurant Of her social position move? In th ry circle which is likely to provide us with good tenants. All she has to do la to make known that, being tired of the neighborhood, he w!.!us t - I''-? her flat, and her Influence usually results in cur letting a property which would otherwipe be standing empty. Stars in the social firmament have the power to mar or make a neighborhood, and are, therefore, extremely valuable as tenants. For instance. If a certain district falls Into unpopularity, and t;i agent has a great deal of property in It on hla hauds, it pays him to let a house for two, or even tive. years rent free to a tenant who can indirectly ba the means of his letting the others. For if once a society favorite takes a fancv to a district It Is pretty certain to be sought after by those who move iu ths same circle. Not only can such an individual live rent free, but she receives a handsome check from the agent Into the bargain; Indeed, I know of several society dames whose "pin money" from this source reaches ,four figures per annum. A LESSON III HANKERS. How Immlarranta Are Taught to Cos alder Women. New York Evening Post. 1 The flr?t lesson in American manners learned by the male immigrant ia usually Imparted at the gates of Ellis Island. Having passed inspection, proved his fitness to become an American cltlsen, and received his discharge from guardianship, he marshals his family and starts for the boat landing He leads the group himself, conducting the youngest walking member of the family, and carrying a bag or small parcel In his hand. Behind him trot the ' children, all laden, then the wife, bending beneath a huge bundle of household goods or even a heavy trunk. Last of all staggers the grandmother, literally bent double under the load she carries. Suddenly the head of the family is rudely ac osted In an unknown tongue by one of the officers of the island. There is nothing unintelligible In the manner in which the said oflii i r relieves the mother and srandmother of their burdens, and the immigrant to hie amazement, finds himself finishing his journey to the boat carrying the heaviest of the load on his own unaccustomed shoul(1 rs. while the oldest boys shoulder the rest. This is an everyday occurrence at Kill? Island. The immigrant does not. of course. Instantly change his attitude towards his wiimanklivl. He never really changes it, and the hardest knocks h- ts in this country are those which come from his buslnce relations with warnen. When he i t ;m H an employer, either as factory owner, or shopkepr, or otherwise, his first notion Is that he can impose upon his women employes as mur as he pleases, pay th m or not. alter his wage scalF without consulting them, and discharge them in the middle of the week, settling at his eonvenienr .r ivt at all. Not all foreign employers are of this description, but pearly all preserve the attitude, whether they follow the procedure or not. A large proportion of the cases tried in the East Side Municipal Courts ara wages ca.es. Many and Ingenious are th pretexts trhi h the employers seek to evade their obligation toward the women. The commnnwt are that the work did not suit, that the wage agreed upon was leas than staled, that the woman has not returned all the material allowed her, that the defendant was not the actual employer, and was not therefore responsible, and lastly that a man has a right to make any terms he pleases with his workwomen without being dictated to.
