BOILER MAKERS AT WORK

PRESIDKT MM;!!, ORDERS STRIKE OFF TE.MTOH RILY. Mrn Fmpl ! In the Shop Throughout Intllnna Will Re Rack mi Their PS To-Ün). As a result of a conference held yesterday at noon In th office of William Garstang. superintendent of motive power of the Big Four, at which fourteen representatives of the striking holler makers on this division of the Dig Four met officials of the road, a decision was reached by which the strikers will return to work this morning. Tht-y return to work under the same scale that existed when they went on strike, pending sn sdjustmeot by President M. K InKalls. A number of the boiler makers went back to work yesterday afternoon and the others will return to-day. About läo boiler makers were on strike at different points over the State, but they will all return to the shops under the conditions of the conference yesterday. John McNeil, president of the union, wan the leading delegate In the conference from the boiler makers. Ths oth-r ! '.gates were from the different cities of the State where the boiler makers were on strike. The boiler makersof this division of the Big Four walked out of the shops about a week ago, demanding an increase in wages amounting to 5 cents an hour. The Big Four people would not grant the Increase but offered a compromise which the strikers refused to accept. Several conferences have bern held by the two parties but they were unable to come to nn ugn ment until yesterday. The Big Four officials claim that the boiler makers did not give them time to consider the matter. The settlement of th v. -rale will be determined by President l:igu.lls. It is probable that he will grunt the men an increase of cents an hour. They are receiving now 30 cents an hour. All the strikers will be back In the shops this morning. BIG SOUTH 6IDE CROWD. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) argue with you as to what poltlcal party you belong to or which one you believe is the best. I am goin to address you about facts. This administration is but twentythree months old. but it Is a fairly lusty, healthy, vigorous infant, and it has grown so rapidly that the people who are trying to defeat It have discovered that It is giving them the bst race they ever ran, or attempted to run. with a doped horse. What has the present administration done for Indianapolis? Let me answer that question for you. When friend Taggart turned the keys of my office over to me the 10th of October two years ago. he then handed me a slip of paper on which were the numbers and characters giving me the combination to the safe. Here's the combination to the safe. he said. 'But theres nothing in it.' That sentence from Mr. Taggart tells very comprehensively about the condition of the city treasury frhen I went Into office. Didn't we find iy assets? Oh yes. w found some assets $19,OOo in money. We also found 1195.000 of liabilities due the hanks and trust companies of Indianapolis In seventy days. All that the Taggart administration left to pay the H95.0IN with was Just HD.Ortrt. And there were dhts amounting to $73.nno long past due forJs to take an accounting of too. So we had a deficit of just 1249.000 as a legacy from the Taggart administration. That's the condition In which the present administration found the eity two years ago. HAD TO PAY DEBTS. "So, of course, as any good business man would have decided In a moment, the first proposition was this: Not to carry on any public improvements, but to get the debts paid. The city's finances were indeed in a 'bad way.' and the best thing to do was to pay off the indebtedness before undertaking any improvement of any sort. And we decided at once to get no new municipal cloth s until the old ones were paid for." Applause. Mayor Bookwalter then explained that all of the first year the present administration was kept snisy paying debts left by Taggart, and that taxes that should have been used to defray the city's current expenses were consumed in "plui?tng up holes, which were a part of the pretest administration's legacy." Mayor Bookwalter then made the forcKoiut; st.it-ment al:,t Mr. Holtzmau's associate?. After the $65,000 Are departmtui bond issue was exhausted Mayor i; nk:ilter said the ngine houses left nncoTipJeied. and which he was not able to comple.e with the $ti&.0UO, were completed out of !.hc curreut revenues, and alo equipped out of the current revenues. "We simply began our administration as would a man if his feet were shackled and he were told to run a foot race," continued the mayor. "All the first year of rhls administration, when we were paying deots as fast as w could and keeping down expenses everywhere we Could. I Was asked repeatedly to clean the streets, build water mains and to enlarge the electric street lighting system. To ail these requests, and they came rapidly enough, I waut you to. understand, I said all through that first year: 'We have no money. We're paying debts.' "Commencing last January this administration had the first tax levy of its own creation, and beginning last January, for the first time since we took office, we had money to do things with, to make improvements wi:h. "Now. it t me tell you what we have done. We have discharged 183,091 of the bonded debt left us by my friend Taggart. We have quit making temporary loans. We have eomplered and equipped engine houses out of the current revenues, the City Hospital has been completed and a park has been constructed around it. We have rebuilt the Haughvllle town hall. Whi-n I went Into office I was honestly ashamed of that Haughvllle town hall left by the Taggart administration. The streets have been repaired and improved all over the city. All rummer long you have seen street gangs working on the thoroughfares of your own Soutn Side. And never before, except a few weeks before election, did you ever see any street gangs working on your streets." GAMBLING CRCSADE. The mayor, then, in conclusion, spoke of the charge that gambling and vice are rife In Indianapolis. He said that just as soon as he took office he drove Gus Rahke out of the city ilmita and that he suppressed all Other forms of gambling which were run so openly when he took the oath of office. The mayor also said that "my friend Jake Dunn will be thoroughly 'dunn' on the lith of October." William L. Taylor, who spoke immediately after Mr. Bookwalter, laid particular stress Up'r. the faet that the working people are those who are most Interested in the outcome of this election. He said the crowd was the largest of the campaign and that the large attendance showed that the working people most of those In the audience were working people are aroused to the Importance .f this election. The working people who live here all the year round ore those mon interested in the city being Well govern I "Indianapolis is eighty-eight years old now and nver before was the city so well governed as it is right now,' said Mr. Taylor. "The city's streets were never so clean as they are right now. You can t And such a city as this any place in this country. I defy any of the men who are pointing t- Indianapolis as a poorly COT erned. wide-open, dirty city, to rind another city of 200,000 people in this country that Is as well and wholesomely governed and as clean as Indianapolis. Mr. Bookwalter ftve you some figures about the financial aspect of tins campaign. Thev are true figures given you by a true, honest man. "Mr. Bookwaltr v 1 1 1 be .!,, t.,i lMd he will keep right on paving debts and making the c ty better, as he has been doing for two years. And two years from tonight the whole city will (. that Mr. Bookwalter was re- le t. i this fall. The South Side Is surely wide awake to the necsity of the present administration helving continued in charge of the city's affairs." J OKU OX l.l.om.K' HITZ. Compelled to Hide Down Tona with John Ic.regor and Keneh. George Hitz. 1'rolibition candidate for mayor, James L. Keach. chairman of the Democratic city com mit tee, and John McGregor, county commissioner and member Of the Republican city executive committee, riding together in the same carriage wan a sight that startled Indianapolis citizens

along Virginia avenue and the downtowa streets or the city yesterday morning. Furthermore, Mr. Hitz was driving, and all three seemed to be holding close communion on some subject ot deepest Import. Spectators inclined to Jump at conclusions could see but one explanation of the remarkable combination iiua had withdrawn from the mayoralty ra.e in lavor of Holtsman, while McGregor, the canny Scot, had lW ported the Bookwalter camp. There have been rumors of Hitz s withurawal in the interests of Holuman and it has become known that there are at least three or tour Republicans in the city wno will not support the party ticket at the polls on ie 13th, so the hasty conclusion was not altogether without foundation. However, such was and is not the case. Hitz. the coid .water candidate, has not withdrawn and it was not his fault that he was caught in th! bame carnage with Reach and McGregor, even if it was his carriage. He was the innocent victim of the humorous proclivities of the others. Keach and McUregor are neighbors on Huron street and it chanced that they started downtown at the same time. They had not proceeded far when Hitz passed in his carriage. With one voice and a common inspiration they had taken possession of the rear scat of his carriage and had loid him to drive on. Hitz protested. He intimated that he was careful as to his associates and he was unmistakably embarrassed at the prospect of being caught in company with prominent representatives of the Republican and democratic candidates. But Keach and McGregor informed him coolly that they would ride down town with him and that If they could stand it he certainly had no room for objections. And Hitz drove on. Still protesting he drove down Virginia avenue to Maryland street, and few political processions have ever attracted the attention that one unpretentious carriage attracted on that drive Finally Hitz could stand the joke no longer and at Maryland street he balked. "(let out!" he shouted and despite the protestations of Keach and M'Gregor he insisted that he would not subject himself to their company any longer. His guests invited him to get out and "have something" for the Inner man, but the cold watt candidate was so excited by that time, that he could not realize that the Invitation was the climax of the Joke, and he refused to have anything except the satisfaction of seeing Keach and McGregor get out of his carriage and leave him.

EXTHl SI VMM MK.ROKS. They Are Add i 'erl by .Indgo McCray mid lu.or Bookwnlter. Great enthusiasm characterized the Bookwaiter meeting last night in Jones's Tabernacle at the corner of North and Blackford streets, at which Judge MiCray, Mayor Bookwalter and Gurley Brewer were the principal speakers. Four hundred negroes gathered in the church and before Judge McCray had talked five minutes were in a sPte of genuine happiness, which manifested Itself in loud "shoutin' " and oft repeated strains of the "Star-spangled Banner" by a negro band. The Rev. W. H. Chambers presided over the meeting ancr introduced Judge McCray as the first speaker, Mayor Bookwalter not being able to be present at the opening on account of speaking at several other meetings iirst. Judge McCray devoted most of his time to attacking the Indianapolis News and the men who attacked Igsdon and attempted to bribe him. He said that the next presidential election would be the trying ordeal and much depended on the negroes supporting Bookwalter if they wished to indorse President Roosevelt, who stood for their equal rights. Indiana is a pivotal State, he said, and it may be, will decide the presidential election. He predicted that if Marion county went Democratic the State would also go Democratic. The News, he declared, was against Bookwalter because he refused to make peace with Its counting room In order to keep on terms with its editorial department. He said that if he had anything to do with it the men who attempted to bribe Logsdon would be in the penitentiary. The act. he said, was done only to smirch his character because the men knew Lhey had no power to send him to prison anil they should be punished by law lor attempting to bribe a public official. "If 1 were prosecuting attorney I would see their Ilnish." were the words of Judge McCray. He became so warmed to his subject that he removed his coat and cuffs and proceeded verbally to tear the men to pieces and dissect their characters. The real mayor of the city, Judge McCray declared, would be Keaeh. Williams. Polster and Stahl if Holtzman were elected. He asked the negroes if they were going to support a candidate for judge of the Police Court who. as he had heard, said that if he once got upon the beuch the negroes would find this city the "hottest place this side of hell." LouU shouts of "No. no, we won't" came from all parts of the crowd. Continuing, the judge said: "I would rather vote for Charlie Bookwalter for mayor of Indianapolis than for any man since Abraham Lincoln. (Applause.! I would rather be enlisted uuder his banner than to be a follower of a band of angels led by Jim Keach." He told the negroes If any person began to talk to them about the corruption of the administration. Just to ask them to point out any special crime. Those who were against Bookwalter, he said, had personal grievances because they happened to be property owners along streets that were improved or for similar reasons. The Democratic party has nothing to offer and, tie iff ore, why should Republicans help to put them into power. "No Democratic administration in the history of this city can boast of one saloon keeper on the stone pile." he declared, "and not even the administration of Denny can boast of a monument such as two wineroom keepers serving in the workhouse. Because Bockwalter has had the sand to stand up and say to UM editor of the Indianapolis News: 'If you want to be mayor of this city, come out and run for mayor,' the paper is attempting to smirch hi character." Almost every statement of Judge McCray was applauded and indorsed by shouts of "That's right." Mayor Bookwalter arrived shortly after McCray finished spcakiug. He was greeted by rousing cheers and music from the band, lie stated that the two propositions for the negroes was the protection of their pfOp rty and the protection of themselves and their families. He said it had been his purpose in the governing of the city to respect every man. alid asked if they wanted to put a mayor into office who is not in sympathy with them, and who is running as the candidate of a white man's party. He said he was in accord with Holtzman wheu it came to standing for a white man's party, "but I want the whiteness to be the standard of his soul ami not his skin. ' The mayor ridiculed Holtzman for standing up at a meeting in Haughvllle Thursday night and saying that he stood side by side with Abraham Lincoln. He said Holtzman was a little mixed it was Polster that he meant. Hi placed before the negroes the two propositions of either governing themselves hrough an official elected by themrelv or by the Indianapolis News, "elected by slanders with your interests not at all at heart." Gurley Brewer, a colored politician, was the last speaker, and said if Holtzman was lifted mayor it meant that l.tdiana will be in the Democratic column next year, that Democratic legislation will be made to limit negro suffrage in the State, and the negroes will hove their equal rights badlycurt ailed. At the close of the meeting the negroes, by a unanimous vote. Indorsed everything that had been said during the evenii g. The meeting adjourned with throe heart y cheers for Book waiter. YK.UY LITTLE EVI III SI 1. Mr. llultzmun I tterly Fnils an a Denioerntie Kntrrtnlner. John W. Holtzman. Democratic candidate for mayor, addressed a crowd of about two hundred people In West Indianapolis last night. The meeting was without enthusiasm ami was a dreary affair. It was held on Morris street in the Fourteenth ward, and in a Democratic stronghold. There were no seats and everybody had to stand while the Democratic candidate dragged through his usual arraignment of the city administration. It was a tiresome Job for most of the audience. A lot of small boys irade most of the noise throwing fruit cans rilled with stones across the commons and occasionally yelling for some candid le. Occai-ionally the audit nee would br.ak into a iieble cheer, but the noise lacked warmth. Once some one yelled "Hurrah for Holton." and there was an occasional cheer for Bryan. At groat length Mr. Holtzman criticised Mayor Bookwalter's administration, fciIcvting this by telling what he proposed to . ,. A el. etc. 1 m;or. ! he crowd stood atcazed ut the glowing picture the orator painted of what he proposes to mpjb Indianapolis. He will have no Rambling and there will be no "dives." The moral atmosphere of the city under Mr Holts i! .n direction according to Mr. tlottgroun's statement will be marvelousiy .pure.

This word picture, however, failed to enthuse. While the audience was composed of men who are respectable and law-abiding people, they received Mr. Holtsman's remarks with a sort of "Well, we're from Missouri" air. They laughed sometimes at some of the things Mr Holtzman said, as men laugh at a street fakir on the corner. Once the orator struck a dramatic attitude end with areat fervor exclaimed: "Yes. Mr. Bookwalter made a pledge that there would be no temporary loans. Do you know why he was able to keep that pledge? I'll tell you Why. Because he has made all of his loans permanent." This created a laugh, because it wa? intended to amuse instead of convince. Mr. Holtzman. in his arraignment of the city administration, talked in the most reckltss way and made all sorts of serious charges. One of his declarations was met with a muttered exclamation from a man In the audience, who r. n irked. "That's a d d lie." Other of the evening's entertainers were Edward W. Little. Democratic candidate for police Judge, and William Fogarty, the candidate for city clerk. SE.NATOIl UEVERlUtiE TO-MGHT.

Marion Club Member Will Escort Hum to I o mii ii oh Hall. The Republican mass meeting in Tomlinson Hall to-night, the feature of which will be an address by Senator Beveridge, will be the largest affair of the campaign up to this time. No effort has been spared to make the meeting successful in every particular and the indications are that a large crowd will turn out to greet the junior senator. Dr. P. H. Jameson will preside at the meeting, Representative Overstreet being out of the city. The balconies and gallery will be resered for ladlea with escorts. The members of the Marion Club will turn out in a body to escort the senator to the hall. Monday night the club will make a further contribution to the campaign in the shape of a smoker at the clubhouse on North Meridian street at which speeches will be made by Mayor Bookwalter and one or two others. In Judge Wluillon's Interest. Judge Stubbs. of the Juvenile Court, who was the predecessor of Judge Whallon on the bench of the Police Court, is sending out a number of personal letters In the interests of Judge Whallon's candidacy. He says: T view of the approaching city election I beg to call your attention to the candidacy of the Hon. Thomas C. Whallon for judge of the Police Court. I have known Judge Whallon Cor some years and know him to be a high-minded, honorable man. "He was the eity prosecutor during the entire time of my last incumbency of the Police Court bench, and upon my resignation I recommended him to Governor Durbln for appointment as my successor. He has occupied the bench since last March and has. I believe, given general satisfaction and has made as few mistakes as any Judge who ever sat in that court for the same length of time. Judge Whallon Is a young man of clean life, high character and rugged hones-ty and should be elected. I am sure that no man who votes for him will ever have cause to regret it." Mayor Inane Invitations. There will be "something doing'" this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock in the dining room of the Denison, according to the following invitation which Mayor Bookwalter addressed to a number of his friends yesterday: "My Dear Sir I would like to have you meet me in the dining-room of the Denison Hotel on Saturday, Oct. 3, at 4:30 p. m., at which hour I expect there will be "something doing:"' if not. I shall asJc your help in "starting something." I IBaJl certainly appreciate your presence, and agree in advance not to intlict a political speech upon you. "Trusting you will be present, I remain, "Yours very sincerely, "C. A. BOOK WALTER." The exact nature of the affair is known only to the mayor and those close to him. and they are reserving it as a surprise to the guests.. Conxtructlon of Election Lavr. The city election commissioners, at a meeting yesterday, decided on J construction of the election law as it applies to the situation in the city election in the Third andFourth wards, where the Democrats have no candidates for the council. There Is an independent and a Republican candidal in each ward. The commissioners held thrt the voter who wishes to vote the str light Democratic ticket should stamp the rooster, but that in so doing he will not be voting for a candidate for ward councilman, if he wishes to vote for councilman he must stamp the square opposite the name of the candidate to whom he gives preference. Senator Fairbanks' Speech. Final arrangements have been made for the part Senator Fairbanks is to take in the municipal campaign, and It was announced yesterday that the senator will muk' a speech at a mass meeting to be held in Tomlinson Hall on Saturday night, Oct. 10, immediately preceding the election. The senator's address will not be a lengthy one, as there will be Other speakers on the programme. The committee that will have charge of the arrangements is composed of Vi. A. Walker, Prank D. Stalnaker. Charles Krauss, H. C. Adams and Samuel Stoddard. Meeting in Brlghtvood. A rousing meeting of colored voters was held last night in Artis's Hall, at Oxford and Twenty-fifth streets. The hall was well filled and the speakers aroused the greatest enthusiasm. Mayor Bookwalter, Judge McCray and Curtey Brewer, editor of the W orld, the organ of the colored Republicans, made the speeches. Circulars of Socialists. The Socialists are distributing circulars over the city attacking Mayor Bookwalter and George Hitz. the Prohibition candidate for mayor. The Democratic managers are endeavoring to use the circulars to theadu tage of Holtzman and the Democratic ticket. POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: "How not to do it" should be the motto of Republicans who vote for Holtzman. The fellow who spends his time trying to "get evi n" must lead a very strenuous life. XXX The Republican who "kicks out of the traces" is likeiy to sk;n his own shins. Kxx When a Republican who is defeated in convention thinks more of revenge than he does of his party he is a mighty poor politician. XXX What a crestfallen looking Republican he will be who comes out of the "booth" after having stamped the rooster instead of the eagle. xxx The salutation between Holtzman Republicans (7) should be "How's your head?" xxx Our ministers may be "called" to preach the gospel, but they make an awful "fist of it" when It comes to polities. xxx Is it probable that our preachers know more about what will be for the good of Indianapolis than Senator Fairbanks, Senator Beveridge and Representative Overstreet. xxx "Beware of the Pharisees" is as applicable in politics as it is in religion. XXX Would it not be well for our preachers, who are too good to vote for Mr. Bookwalter, to unite in prayer for some of our "best citizens," who conspired to bribe a public , k IH v ' JOHN B. GLOVER.

PERFECT b" n i I (join r 6 wiser Used by people of refinement for over a quarter of a century PREPARED BY IN B0ERLAND. The Bnrghera Just After the War Letter to London Ml. The Boers talk le.s of war to-day than they have ever talked In the course of their national life. At the time of their surrender they realized that they were in a bad way. They did not think they were badly beaten, and. if their attitude towards us was one of frank surrender, there was, if not expressed, at least implied, a suggestion of magnanimity towards an overpowering enemy that they had the power and half the inclination to further harass. They surrendered because they were tired of the war ninety-nine out of every hundred burghers would tell you that. -It was the spontaneous excuse of the incoming commandoes simply given without qualification and without amendment. "We are tired of the war so we surrender." It was a reply given in no tone of boastfulness; with no suggestion of anything but a natural and logical reply to the question, "Why did you give in?" It was the hundredth man. the man who spoke good French or QenMS, and whose iirst act on arrival at the British camp was to ask for I bath. He it was who shrugged his shoulders and answered with a laugh. "Because we are hopelessly beaten!" The terms of ueace were signed, and the Boer was turnccf loose on the country and he talked. Not loudly or traitorously or harmfully. He had surrendered, or rather his leaders had for him; for his part he would just as soon have gone on fighting; something might have happened. W DO know? A European war in which Great Britain was embroiled might have been the Boer's opportunity. He was not a faithful subject of King Edward, and he would be sorry to see Russia or Germany righting his own country; but if he had not surrendered ? All of which pointed to one fact, and a very interesting tact it was. The Boer, sharing a characteristic which is beautiful m the Briton but is a trifle alarming when displayed in the lioer, did not know wheu M Was bean-u. And the Boer out of the country-he of St. Helena, of ludia, of Ceylonhe came back. He was very auxlous to explain to tfie Boer in the country exactly how it was he had been taken prisoner in the early days, aud quite willing to adopt the theory, already subconsciously propounded, that the war had ended because the lighting burghers were tired of UM constant trekking aud the unsettled life of the commando. The British were as tired every body ku. w that, so there had been a formal surrender of the Boers, a mutual agreement that hostilities should cease and amicable arrangements made whereby the dignity of neither should suffer. It was quite reasonable, this view. You remember how we fell over one another in our desire to weep on the necks of our late foes how the splendid good-fellowship of the British was made manifest. Our dearest friend is not dearer than the foe we have just thrashed. That is a national trait, but the Boer is no student, no thmker. According to his lights there could be but 0!e explanation for our effusiveness. We were giad to get out of the mess at any price, for. like him. we were tired of war. weary of our constant reverses and the too frequent humiliations, for which our periodic victories were a most inadequate compensation After a while he began to tin 1 things out, did the Boer. Every day that passed robbed him of his complacency. The days of war were not very far behind him when he began to realize a great truth and it has so sobered him that he does not seem like the Boer we knew of other days, but rather a civil, quiet-spoken improvement on the old pattern improved out of recognition. For the truth has come so slowly is the fact that he is a badly beaten man. The men whom he expected to meet, the brother, the father, the friend what of them! He had believed that they were with other commandoes, or, at the worst, in the hands of the hospitable British. When war was over he waited for Ham to appear, with all the pleasure of anticipation. The missing oues came not, but in their place came, or sent, the folks who had seen them die or had helped to bury them. This was the ' first sobering draught that eame to the Boer. The Boer losses were much heavier than he had been led to believe. In Great Britain there arc, unfortunately, many homes devastated by war; there are Vacancies which even time, that fell destroyer of Ideals who turns the beautiful to commonplace, c;in never fill. But think of a nation no single member of which but hits lost a relative. I think I am right in saying that no one Boer family in South Africa came unscathod through the war, and not one-third of the losses were ever realized until the war ended. The little village cliques were broken and scattered, the little makeshifts for society were devastated, the dorp orach s whose Illogical periods had filled the sunlit spaces where the drowsy oxen dozed whoafl rude fingers had spun the wheel v. tr-ward what of these? Dead, or, worse still, traitors. Lalers still remained, but they were leaders wTBOfle life's energies had been devoted to promoting hostility to Britain, and whose faculties other than the destructive had become atrophied by long disuse. Relationship, comeradeship, society, all had been changed. The national ideals could no longer exist, they must be reconstructed. The homes they had lived in, the towns they were born in, wrecked and leveled, gave them no tangible hold on the past, afiorded them no loose end to which they might splice the new life to the old and resume. It meant a fresh start all over again; new groVes, new aspirations. The war had done more than kill, it had made chaos. They were beaten, hopelessly, irreparably, -oe Boers realized this very slowly, for it is not In the nature of things that they hhould thi-ik quickly; and, realizing it. they hav 1 become a gentler, a better, aud a more friendly people. CALENDAR MAKERS BUSY. Mnny 3IllIionn Are Published Hi hPrleed Pietnrea in Some of Them. Now York Sun. One American patent medicine firm alone issues 7,000,000 calendars a year nearlyone in ten to the population of the T'nited States. That is the record order, but issues of a million or so are not few, and one hg insurance company sends out between 1,000.000 and 4,000,000 annually. "What becomes of them all, I wonder?" said the head of a large lithographing concern. "The other day I saw it estimated that a hundred million calendars are issued in the I'nited BtStSS annually. That's an absurdly low figure. The total must be at least enough to give every man, woman and child in the I'nited States three or four calendars." This is the busy season of the calendar makers. Some of the orders for 1904 calendars were placed last year. It is neces-!-ar to order early, betau.se the orders arc so gigantic. As a general rule, manufacturers and merchants who send out calendars to their customers wish to advertise tteir business direetly. But this is by no means an invariable rule. Sme calei dar buyers like to get the prt ttiest and most artistic designs procurable, and they only print thir names upon the calendar in small and inconspicuous type, perhaps on the back. Big corporations. especially, do this. They argue thitt an obvious advertisement will be thrown into the waste paper basket by nine out of ten persons who receive it. while an attractive calendar will be used to decorate the office or the home all the year through, ami thus insidiously produce its advertising effect. The idea of calendars is being accepted more und more every year, and the direct advertisements are becoming fewer and fewer. One railroad company. which Issues a fine art calendar, charges twentyfive cents for it and sells many thousands of eojsjes. even thougn It Is an advertisement of the company's business. That is a clever move. Obviously a man will value the calendar he has bought much more than the calendar which has K . a given to him. But, of course, this calendar has to reach the top notch of attractiveness. The making of calendars is a profitable business for artists who know how to hit upon popular Ideas and subjects.

MS VA YA VA $500 or $000 has been paid. Even the best kn n American artists do not scorn the work, although they will not always sign their names to their calendar pictures. Sometimes." said a publisher, "a customer will come to us and say that he wants a calendar design by a famous artist, whose work he happens especially to admire. He will take nothing else, and even it the artist is willing to do the work, which Is not always the case, the -ost is trlfhtfttL I heard of a rich Chicago manufacturer who paid $1.000 a sketch to a well-known French artist for a very ordinary calendar which m8de no impression at all on the public. Another man went t. a rival of mine and demanded a calendar illustrated by Leighton. the former president of the I ai Academy. "It was impossible to get it. A repres ntative was sent to England to see Leighton, and to offer htm a big price. He had too much on hand and refused the commission. "I remember receiving a visit from a well-known millionaire who does a great business among the farming population in the middle Western States. He was a good customer, and I was anxious to please him. He had execrably bad taste, and the calendars he had selected in former years had not been popular. "I was delighted, therefore, when he chose one of the prettiest designs I showed him a pastoral scene with s Watteau shepherdess holding her court as Queen of Love. But Just as I was congratulati tg mvself he nearly floored me by taking half a dozen photographs out of his pocket and raying: I 11 take 50.000. anT perhaps more; but 1 want you to fix up the design a hit rtt I'm thinking of combining business and pleasure. These are my girls' pictures. Sad 1 want em worked into the cslendar in place of those shepherdesses. -It will be a pleasant surprise for them sort of delicate compliment, don't you think? Jane's the eldest, so make her thr Queen of Love, and the others can be her maids of honor.' "1 looked at the photographs, and saw that ill the girls were homely. Jane was positively ugly. If the calendar went out in thut shape it would certainly be a failure and the man would be to blame. "So I temporised, admired the photographs sod advised him to get the girls . . -m before ht- published them. He didn't like it said he wanted to give tN girls a nice surprise but at last he agreed. As I expected, the girls were seuslbVenough to turn down the scheme."
