389. Western Union Telegraph Company vs. Thomas J Newhouse. Vigo C. C. Affirmed, ^eiuhard, C. J. (1) It is drror for the trial court to refuse proper instructions as to the measure of damages where it is the duty of the jury to assess damages, even though a special verdict is asked for. i2i But the request that such instructions be given must be made before the argumeut begins, and the instructions asked to be given must be properly . led or the refusal is not error. (3) Courts can not know judicially that the. freight yards of a railroad company are such a public place that a telegraph company may property leave a telegram directed to a person at such yards without further inquiry. When an important message is taken to such a place by a messenger, for delivery, and he is informed that no such person as the sendee of the message is known or employed about the yards, it is his duty to so re ort to the office, and Farther search should bt made, apd if he does not do so, but leave* the message at the-yards, and it is not received by the sendee, the company ia liable to the sendee for the failure to deliver.

GOOD FRIDAY OBSERVANCE.
The Signlflcanoe of the Day and the Attendant Ceremonies.
This is Good Friday, perhaps the best known and most widely observed day in Holy Week, The day ot the Passion, as it is sometimes designated, has long been observed as a festival, and in many countries business is entirely suspended. In England Good Friday is best known to the children as Hot Cross Bun Day from the peculiar spiced buns marked with a cross which are sold at this season. They are served hot, and with fresh country butter are so delicious that the mere eating with the children seems to partake of the '* - ““SSjJji, 'jBiaipi r to the ie only difference being in the yellow color of the candles and the nakedness of the Pope’s throne, which denotes the desolation of the church. At Monaco the mystery play takes place every Good Friday, being performed by the members of a brotherhood. The different scej .es in the life and death of Christ are acted, culminating in the crucifixion. When this play first start 3d it is not known, but it wa — it r< t.he ceremonial. The various churches hold services in the morning, and special attention's called to the solemn nature of the day. Thu, Indianapolis churches already have in placetoiost of their flowers and palms.

There are sixty-one entries from this city and eleven prizes have been taken by these dogs, while a number more have received favorable men-
tion.
PREP*RING FOR DEPARTURE.
The side halls are filled with the wooden cages in. which the dogs from a distance traveled here and in which they must return to their hemes. The handlers were busy today getting things ready for the start late tonight or to-morrow; cages were cleaned and disinfected; clean straw was put in the bottoms and old labels removed and the new ones put on. Even the dogs themselves seemed to realize that departure was near at hand and looked anxiously out into the halls where the preparations were being made. The visiting dogs are not all bound for the same place. Some go to their homes to rest a while, others go to shows in other parts of the country, and some of them stay here by virtue of purchase. Joe Lewis, the handler, who. has the largest string of dogs in the show, numbering sixty, requires fifty crates in which toWrtl: his charges. In the morning he will leave for Boston. He expects his English audurish setters to take a few prizes in the East. E. F. Lewis, who has the next largest string,mnd J. H.

mittee exceeded his authority and the committee’s allowance by several hundred dollars, and by just so much did the total expenses exceed the total receipts, so that we had to show a deficit when we should have shown a surplus. The result of the festival demonstrated the correctness of the estimates. The allowances were ample and the excess of the expense incurred was unnecessary. The deficit was promptly subscribed by several of the directors and a few other public spirited citizens, so that it was not necessary to make any assessment on the guarantee fund. The expenditures by the music committee, of which Mr. Stem was chairman, are reported as fellow: Walter Damrosch per contract $5,500 00 Walter Damrosch extra rehearsal, etc.. 147 0) L. M. Rueben for soloists 2,500 00 L. M.

The report iurtber shows that the hall committee expended $67 less than the appropriation, the press committee |94 in excess oi the appi opriation, which amount the committee personally remmied, and the finance committee expended the exset amount contributed. Cleaning Up the State. The State Board of Health has been investigating the sanitary condition of the cities and towns of Indiana, and have found them not in the best shape for 1 the coming warm weather. The general report is that the cities show more of a disposition to clean up this spring than ever before in the State’s history. There ia no alarm over an invasion of the cholera. The people realize the necessity of placing the State in good sanitary condition, which will materially aid in controlling other epidemics should the cholera foil to appear. There are no epidemics raging at present and the general health Of Indianians is regarded as unusually good. Death of an Old Resident. Mr*. Rosa Henderson, aged sixty-eight, an old resident and a charter member of the Blackford-strect M. E. church, died at her home, 258 West Michigan street, last night at 9 o’clock, after an illness of only four days. Mrs. Henderson moved to this city in 1870 from Bt. Joseph county. She was the mother of the late J. M. Hunter, who died in January last. Her second husband, Edwin Henderson, her three sons, Silas, Albert A. and James T. Hunter, and her daughter, Mrs. Joseph Muster, all of this city, survive her.
