CH1NE8R BKGIHTBATION.
Some of the Chinese who register fill out the application ip Chinese characters, and one imagines that they smile os they do so, for it would be hard for Chinese to read the characters placed side by side in the American.foshion. H they were writing it forthe perusal of their own countrymen, they would write the characters from the top to the bottom of the page and up again. One of the last Chinese to register in the collector’s office was Moo Shing, who dis-

CHINESE SHOP SIGNS.
It must not be imagined that the names that may be read on the little red signs in front of the Chinese laundries are the real names of the proprietor*. The Chinese establishments change hands often, but never change signs. In some instances the last name of the man who first occupied the place us a laundry is used, but not often. For the most part they are shop names, and have no refei^nce to the Oriental who presides over the wash-board inside. Wing Shin does not mean that the Chinese inside was born Shin og born Wina and was named j
the Scotch in the days of Bruce^ As a rule, ibe family nAmes are composed of a single word, but in some
families this is not the case. The names in Chinese are written backward, as it were. The surname is put fi rst, because in China the family is the first, the individual second. Thul, in q^e name Chang Ying, Chatig it the name of the clan or
8HGN. family, and Yine-is the
’ name of the individual.
The Chinese that come to this country and engage in the laundry business are not the weli-cducHted Chinese, dr from the "first families.” They all hAve iNod educations According to their standards, and can all read and write in their ownlaiiguage.

The word laundry is always written in
English on the signs outside these places, and probably few people in the United Htates have seen it as •‘*00 is written” in China. It is almost impossible to teli where a word in Chinese begins or leavas otf. but it is certain that laundry in Chinese is oumrosed of two words The characters are written as usual in Chinese, oneabovothe
other. ‘Thera are few Chinese in Indianapolis who oan speak English without a painful ell'ort, and there are probaWy fewer Americans Wno can speak Chinese without
dislocating their jaws.
“LACSDRY” as "SHF. IS WRITTEN.” A reporter who wanted to get the word
"laundry” written in Chinese eharaotera had some dvffienlvy. He went into the laundry of John Long, on Massachusetts avenue, and tried to explain what he wanted. "What you want him fior?” asked Jobn. "Just want to see how it is written.” “No got time,” was

At the meeting of the achool eommissioners last evening, L. H. Jones was re-elected auperintendent, Eliza 0. Browning librariaii and P. J. O'Meara superintendent of bnildings, grounds and supplies,_wiibout opposition. • Mr, Russe, of the finance committee, ofiered a resolution asking that the committee be directed to consider the advisabiiity of increasing the salary of the superintendent of public schools to $3,5(X) a year. The committee was instructed to report on this subject at it* next meeting. Commissioner Vonnegut, of the Ninth district, handed in his resignation for the second time. He stated that he gave notice thus eariy to the board so that tin election could be be{d in his district on the regular tleclion dap. Tlie resignation was ac-
eepted.
A proposition was received from J. S. Cruse to pay to the board $250 for a sevenfoot strip from the sooth side of the lot at Reed and John streets, recently bought by the board. The strip is wanted for an alley. After tome discussion the proposi-
tion was accepted.
George Merritt, trustee of the Gregg income fund, sent a letter to the board, suggesting that the Interest of the fund be used in establishing two scholarships. They would be worth $7<X) each. He suggeded that the persons receiving the scholarships most agree to return and teach far a period of five yearf in the public schools. The question was referred to the committee on
supervision.
The eommittee on text books reported in favor of a number of I'hanges, making a majority and a minority report. The
port was given to the
The Repu* lican candidates for State offices have sly about two more weeks in which to hunt up their Ineiid* throughoot the t^tate and »ec that lieutenants are putting forth the projwr ellort. The convention will meet two weeks from next Wednesday. The caniiidates will liegiti coming to In(iiaiiapuli* on Sunday, the 22d, and on Monday they will all open headquarters in the Denison Hotel. Monday and Tuesday will be devoted to “log-rolling.” It is expected that most of the delegates will come to Indianapolis on Monday. The convention will contain more delegates than any previous State convention of tho party; 1,709 men will be entitled to votes, making 855 votes necessary to choice. Marion county wdll have 130 votes in the convention; Vanderburgh and Vigo counties each 41. Allen county will come next with 37 votes. Brown and Ohio will have the smallest number of votes in the convention, each being ea-
titled to 4.
The preliminary arrangements for the convention have all been completed. The delegates from the counties composing tiie several congressional districts will meet in rooms in the .State House and court-house the evening before the convention for the purpose uf electing members of the various workifig committees of the conventiou, n'bese committees will nil meet that night, and attend to all the preliminary work. The .State cumiiiittee will endeavor to*pet the convention at work early on Wednesday morning, so that it may do its work before the delegates become worn out. A ditFerence of opinion still exists as to what shall go into the platform of the party. The teiunerance question is the most troublesome one. Many of the party leaders insist that the convention should keep silent on the subject, but there are men in the party who declare that if they have any influence this shall not be done. The State committee is keeping out of ibis coniroversy, which it believes should be settled by the committee on resolutions. There will probpbly be a cont.-oversy as to whether the coinniittee on resolutions shall insert a “plank” pledging that the Attorney-Gen-eral’s office shall be reformed in case of Republican success. KTKENGTH OR CANDIDATES. Disinterested men who have been out over the State a good deal recently say that some candidates are beginning to show strength in excess of others. The impression seems to be that it is a pretty even race’between the five candidates for Secretary of State. It is reported that there is a rather strong sentiment in many localities in favor of the “old ticket,” and this helps along Aaron Jones, ot South Bend. William D. Owen, of South Bend is said to be showing a good deal of strength in the northern part of the State, and in the Bonthern half it is maintained that M. R. Sulzer, of Madison, has the advantage. The current talk is that it is the “field” against John \\'. Coons for auditor. Mr. Coons was the nominee for the office two
years ago.
Early in the contest there was only one candidate for Treasurer of State—F. J. Scbolz. Now there are three. The others are Leonard Wild, of Nobletville, and Leopold Levy, of Huntington. Mr. Scholz was the nominee of the party for tlie office two years ago, and the politicians say that there seems to be a disposition to favor him again. ‘ It is the opinion of the men whu«}mve been around that M'illiam L.. Taylor, of Indianapolis, has more strength than any other candidate in the race for AttorneyGeneral. But with six strong men in the field no one has any decided advantage,- it is asserted. R, J.

FOR HCPREME COCKT CLERK# The impression ia that none of the eight candidates for Clerk of the Supreme Court is far ahead of any; other one. It is supposed ihat this nomination will depend much on what has been done by the convention before this office is reached. If any section has been overlooked it will be remembered when it comes to nominating a man for this office. The politicians seem to think that W. S. Blatchley, of the Terre Haute public schools, has the lead in the race for State Geologist. However, there are four candidates, and each jot them has a good foUow-
ing.
It is taken for granted by the politicians that John Worrell, ox Clayton, will be nom-
inated fur State Statistician.
Although James H. Henry, of Warsaw, announced himself as a candidate for Superintendent of Public Instruction only a few days ago, the impression prevails among the meu who "keep track” of the drift that he will be noiuiunteil. The other candidates are D. M. Geetin^ of Washington, Daviess county, and the Key, J, E. Gilbert,

The contest for the nomination for snbreme judge from the First district is petween Silas D. Coffey, of Brazil, the present occupantr of the bench from that district, and James H.

In the Fourth judicial district the candidates are D..W. Comstock, of Richmond; L. J. Monks, of Winchester, and M. £. Forkner, of New Castle. The politicians here understand that Mr. Comstock has the advantage in the race. *

WEST INDIANAPOLIS POLITICS.
Repnbilcans More Active Then Demo,
ernts In Seeking Nominations.
As there is less than a wqek before the date of the Republican nominating convention in West Indianapolis, and as there are seven candidates for mayor, and nearly that number for each of the remaining offices, there is much activity in the party ranks. Three of the candidates are from the First ward, two from the Secondf and two from the 'Third. Politicians place Abbett of the First ward at present in the lead; ToTin of the Third, second, and Williamson of the Second, third with a fighting chance for the otlien. It is said to look now as if the contest between first and second would be such as to make the convention unable to choose on several ballots, in which case Williamson, who stands in the breach, would get the benefit when the “bronk'' came. There ia a dispoiition in the First and Third wafds not to nominate a mayor from the Second ward or as it is more familiarly known, from the
"hill.”
The Republicans are troubled over their nomination for the marshaltbip. Michael Mabolm, the present officer in that position, is asking for renomination. He has had two terms, and many Repabitcans are opposed to giving him a third. Others believe that on accoant of the gambling dens in the city he would not be much strength to the ticket. If nominated, Btili, there it much "infiueuee” behind him. One of the ^rsoni who u interested wys t^t it will

Tbo Prohibition Campaign. The Prohibition party State Executive and State Central Committees will meet in this city, Wednesday, April 18, to plan for “the most active and general campaign they have ever had in the State,” Secretary Shiel says. A majority of the counties will have Prohibition rallies July A The State committee announces that it will see that every county in the State nominates Prohibition party candidates for all county offices. L. M. Crist, of Thorntown, has been nominated ^ the \ Prohibition candidate for/Congress /n the Ninth diRtrict, add H. C. Hanson, editor of the Hobart\ Advertiser, in the Tenth district. The Swond, Fourth, Sixth, Eighth, Twelfth and 'Thirteenth districts are soon to nominate. Every district, it is expected, will have a candidate for Congress. "The Belli” quartet of Madison, Wis., the Rev. .Tartes P. Pinkharo, of Minnesota. State Chairman Fi T. MeWhirter, Aaron Worth, H. B. Sayles and others are pushing the work, and the State committee says the interest is good and growing. The “Old Ticket.” If the delegation to the Republican State I convention favor the "old ticket” the ticket, I it is said, will be about as follows; 1 Secretary of State—Aaron Jones, South Bend. Auditor of State—John W, Coons, Indianapolis. Treasurer of State—F. J. Scholz, Evansville. Attorney Qenesal—Thomas Hanna, Indianapolis. Clerk of the Supreme Court—W. B. McCleland, Danville. Superintendent of Public Instruction— James H. Henry, Warsaw. State Geologist—M. N. Elrod, Hartsvllle. Judge of the Supreme Court, First District —Janies H. Jordan. Martinsville. Judge of the Supreme Court, Fourth District —D. w. Comstock, Richmond.
Death of a Candidate. The death of Charles Beachler, of Crawfordsville, who was a candidate for the Republican nomination for State Geologist, was unexpected, although it was known that he was in poor health. His health began to fail soon after he anuounced that he was a candidate, and lie was unable to get out over the State. Among those who knew him he was regarded as a young roan of unusual promise. There are now three candidates for Geologist—M. N. Elrod, of Hortsville; W. 8. Blatchley, of Terre Haute, and A. H. Purdue, of Yankeetown.
Briglttwood. Conventions. The nominating conventions in Brightwood will occur next week, the "Citizens’” Tuesday evening and the "People’s” Thursday. In this suburb the office is often left to seek the man, and there are a few announcements of candidates. Lee Morgan is a candidate for the tnarshalifhip on the "People's” ticket Y. M. C. A. Affairs. Athletics received attention at the meeting of the Young Men’s Christian Association committee last evening. The first interstate in-door contest will be held at Chicago, May 8. Terre Haute, New Albany, Evansville, South Bend and Indianapolis will be represented. Each State will have a team of five members. The entry fee for a State is $10. The railroad department made its report. There are now four of the associations in Indiana, and others are to be organized. The receipts of the department for the year were about $1,400. The volunteer student movement was discussed. Sunday, June 6, has been chosen as the date for observiiigthe international jubilee.
