PICTURE POSTAL CARDS

PRESENT

SOXETIIISG A ROUT THE CRAttK FOR THEM IX KIROI'E.

Ot Many neslcn* and Sines and Often Wnrks «f AH-X®t Alvvays Kvideace ot U here a Traveler Has Been.

So many Indianapolis people have rone to Europe this year, and have sent back pictured postal cards, that, there axe perhaps few people In this city who have not seen such cards of the 1S» types. Of course. It is not necessary to go to Euro*)* to get pictured postal cards—they even have them here In Indianapolis, but Ui* postal card erase is a modest and retiring thing In this country, compared with what it i« in Europe. Many people do not even know that they can get postal cards, with views. In this country, until they go to Europe and see the American cards displayed In shop windows there, together with other cards from various parts of the world. But it is impossible to escape the pictured postal cards In Europe, and especial.y in Germany, where the craze probably has Its greatest growth. In Berlin there are miles and miles of these postal cards In the shop windows. Judging from Impression* it would seem that few'shops are without them. And if a person does not notice the windows tn Germany, he Is bound to have the postal card th. ust upon his attention In some other way! He can scarcely sit down In a cafe for a glass of beer without having a boy with a tray of postal cards come up and offer wide variety of views and subjecta He will see Germans at other tables in the cafe, dutifully writing postal cards to their friends at home. There are postal card venders, too, standing in the shadow of such places as Cologne cathedral, ped dling cards and offering them for sale as peddlers might offer collar-buttons or lead-pencils in American streets. Postal Cards Honored in Uenr any. An Indianapolis man said that it made him tired to see so many cards and refused to sympathize with his companion who was enthusiastic about making a collection and spent half his time looking into the show windows for new varieties. The scoffer tried to treat the subject humorously with some German* but they refused to look upon the plct- . ureu postal cards in other than a serious light as an honored Institution. They argued that the cards fulfilled an excellent purpose. The traveler, too hurried to send home a long letter to his friends, could drop them a card with a view thus giving th«m a more vivid Idea of his whereabouts and gratifying them with an attractive souvenir. This theory is industriously followed, out by German travelers generally. One of the first things a German doe* after arriving at his destination on a little Journey from home la to send back a postal card with a view and a ‘'Gruss aus'* (“greeting from ’) wherever he may be. Pictured postal cards have been obtainable In Europe for u number of years, but have never been so numerous and so varied as at present. They have be m in use only about a year In America. A- person who buys such a chrd places the stamp on it himself, for the card Is not Issued by the Government. Originally the cards were confined mostly to views of the objects of Interest about the town or district where they were sold, but now they go beyond this and are often pictures or designs without any reference to a particular place. Borne of* them are eyqutsite posters or beautiful black and white drawings or etchings, worthy of rank as works of art, and, indeed, artists of great reputation do not scorn to mako designs for postal cards, and to have their signatures used. Borne of these beautiful kinds are really loo fine to submit to the vicissitudes of a Journey In a mall bag and to the caprice of the American postoffice stump, which Is likely to strike the best part of the de-

sign.

A Pictured Diary of Travels. The souvenir postal cs.rd is cheaper than the souvenir ipoon, and is, in fact, the ohcapesf rmd handiest kind of a souvenir to send to one’s friends. The cards, too. are handier than photographs, and are often equal to them, or better, as yleyrs of places or reproductions of works of art One young man f met was sending home a pictured diary of his travels in Europe, and he never climbed « mountain, took a ride on a lake or river or visited anyplace of interest without buying a card and mailing U on the spot. He never failed to Jlnd the postal card, for a village in Europe must bo very Insignificant, Indeed, to be without Its postal card or even eerles of cards, and as for mountain tops, lakes ar.d livers and waterfalls the postal card *s an inevitable as the restaurant always to be found near such pieces In Germany. The cards are not all confined to the usual postal card size. Some of them are double the usual size and fold once. Others are triple tha size, having two wings which fold in. Silli others fold even more time* and make long “panorama'* cards. But • person soon ceases to be surprise,’, at finding almost any kind of pictured thing turn out to be a "postal card,” or to wonder at what tho German postal aut thorltiea will allow . There are some cards • us large cz a cheer, of foolscap paper, often with handsome views on them. There 1 are pretty designs In color of hits of rough paper In panel shape. There are even hand-painted postal carda, but these are not likely to be really artistic, because they must sell too cheaply for such work. The price* of a 1 ! the cards, of course, vary with their quality. Constant Novelties In the Cards. There Is a constant effort toward novelty, and the number of signs one sees— for Instance, In Vienna (where some of the most exquisite cards are made), announcing a new series "just out”—reminds one of the frequency of* New* 1’ork newspaper extras, and one comes to believe that editions of postal cards must be got out in Vienna with something of that feverish effort to meet the' public's utmost demand that Is used In producing New Tork “extras.** Some of the efforts toward novelty are absurd, as absurd as the New York colored supplements. There Is. tor Instance, a series of cards cahed the "sunshine" cards, with the disk and the rays of the sun embossed and In gold, spoiling every view. There ere cards, too. which are transparent and reveal a second view when held to the light. These are usually cheap-looking. Besides the view cards and art cards are many comic card* some of them like our “comic"

valentines.

Of course, there are postal card albums, and there are even publications devoted to the pottal card collectors’ Interests like the Journal* of the postage stamp collectog. A kind of gentle fraud, too. now exists in the pictured postal card business. An arrangement Is made by which a person can buy a series of postal card* w-rtte the addresses on them and then have them sent away and mailed from as many countries as desired, with the proper stamp

and postoffice mark.

Hew to be a World-Wide Traveler. For Instance, in Bremen there was a series of six card* for sale for 2 mark* («* cents), the price Including this pobiago arrangement. On the address side of these postals the wording was In each case different. One read in English, anothei French, another Italian, another Russian, and two In German, one being Austrian. The purchaser could have these cards sent respectively to London, Paris, Rome, St. Petersburg. Berlin and Vienna, and thence malted to the addresses written by him. Of course, this device may be used to gratify his friends’ innocent taste for foreign pontage •tamp* and postoffice marks, but there is also the chance that the purmay wish to gratify Ms own tarts ‘ “ off himself as a world-wide

It all goes to shake one’s

Practically the some opportunities exist at Brookside that did at Garfield a few > ears ago. and It l* only a question of time and the expenditure of money necessary to make the Improvements planned that will make it as well provided as Garfield. The beginnings thl* year, board members feel, justify great faith In the future of the park. It has eighty acres of land that Is picturesque. Bo far the movement has been preliminary. The shelter house, of rustic construction, a driveway and some bridges have been built, and some unattractive features of the ground have been removed. The shelter house sits on a terrace, and from It a new driveway is ueIng made to the creek bottom, where a plain, rustle bridge has been built. The driveway Is along a slope, the sides of which have been dressed with boulders, and the trees are on bouldered terraces, making them look like giant plants In giant flower-pots.

has been built, and much other small work has been done to get the park In shat*?. The next work will be the making of walks, drives and preparing for fiower planting. Flowers will not. In ail probability, be planted this year. The park Is reached by way of North Brookside avenue to Rural street, and thence by. way of the street running directly east. That is the easiest way Into the park. As yet no car line ha* been built to it, but a line will be built connecting wi the East Tenth-street line, and perhaps the Brightwood line. After the work of this season is completed, the park will be ready for flowers and amusement features, and the car line will be in operation early In the spring.

REV. DENIS O’DONAGHUE

HIS TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OF WORK. IX INDIANAPOLIS. S'

He is a Hoosier and Is Proml of It—Member of a Large Daviess County Family—His Chare h.

The last twenty-five years of the life of the Rev. Denis O’Donaghue—pastor of St. Patrick’s church, and vicar-genem! of the diocese of Indianapolis—have been passed in this city. He was born ten miles from Washington, Daviess county, this State, on a 'arm, November 30, lf43. This farm was bought by his father. James O’Donaghue, ot the Government, at the land office at Vincennes in 1835). The father was a farmer in Ireland, and came to this country from near the city cf Cork in 1894.’ The Daviess county farm !»• still in the family, and James O’Donagbue. an elci'r brother of the priest, lives there. As this brother hag nine children, four of whom are boys, the family name la not likely to become extinct, though four slaters and Timcthy O’Donaghue. another brother, are

celibates. Timothy being pastor of Bt. John’s church, Loogcotw, and the four sisters being in religious orders. One of the sisters, bearing the community name of John France*, t* with the St. John’s Academy, this city; another known as Plater Pauline, la with the Benedictine community at Covington, Ky.. and two others, also Benedictine sisters, in New Orleans. The two last named are how in the city, having come to attend the silver jubilee of their brother. Father O’Donaghue, who Is the next youngest member of a large family, never worked on the farm. At an early age he was noticed to be of a studious disposition. and his father determined that he should Lave an odutvrtton. He was started to school at seven years old, and fo- eighteen years he went from one school to mother until he was graduated from tho Grand Seminary at Montreal In 1S74 Education and Life. "The first school I attended," said the father Ir. conversation with a friend, “was taught by Professor Byrne. It was at a little place called Montgomery, net far from the old, farm. It was a Catholic school. From there I went to St. Melnrad’s College, thence to the seminary at Bardstown, and lastly to Montreal. In September of 1874 I was ordained a priest In this city by Bishop Maurice de St. Palais, and here have I been ever since. I know this city better than any place on earth, my friends arc here. «nd I would rather live here than anywhere else. Of course. I go occasionally, about once a year, to visit the old farm. and. with the exception of two trips to Europe, one in IS*) r-ml the other tn 1887. 1 have never been out of the State for as much as a week at a time. Do I speak French? Yes, I learned It when s young fellow in Mitt treal. Ip the only way one can learn French—by hearing ft spoken. When on*,**** It In.print, with its multiplicity of hyphens, it look* like a bicycle " 1, « Into links very readily.” Yue also reads and takes a German nowsiy keep in touch with Geri ■ thought. ; after ordination he began

service as assistant priest at St. John's under Monsignor Bessonies. He was at St. John’s for ten and one-half years. On the arrival here, in 1878, of Bishop Chatard. Father O’Donaghue was made secretary to the bishop and chancellor of the diocese, which arduous position he held for years. He became the priest at St. Patrick’s on February 22, 1885, succeeding the Rev. Hugh O’Neill, who had held the position two and a half years. When Father O'Donaghue began at St. Patrick's the parish contained 2,1)30 souls. Four years ago one-third of the parish was cut off arid added to the Holy Cross parish. Even now' there are more than 2,0W souls remaining in the parish, anj the three services each Sunday at the church are greatly crowded. A Cosmopolitan Church. While bearing the name of the Irish patron saint, this church is probably more cosmopolitan than any Catholic church in the city. Most of the communicants are of Irish birth or of Irish extraction, but there are several French Catholics, many of German extraction, and some, as Father O'Donaghue says, who can rot trace their nationality anywhere, besides a good many plain Americans. The father himself takes great pride in being a native Hoosier. He also desires it to be distinctly understood that he !» interested in all local questions, particularly where they touch the people of the South Side. He is an enthusiastic wheelman. a member of the League of American Wheelmen and has stock in the cycle path. He has at present two assistants in the work of St. Patrick's parish—the Revs. William A. Maher and Martin Connelly. Since Bishop Chatard has been away for his health. Father O’Donaghue has been the administrator of the affairs of the Indianapolis diocese. HOMESPUN SENTIMENT. A little, bent old . man. and a whitehaired, grandmotherly eld lady drove up to the Union station. The dust of the country roads was thick on the old-fashioned buggy, and the horse which drew the conveyance was plainly better acquainted with plows and cultivators than with the vehicles of city streets, for he eyed with marked disfavor an automobile which glided noiselessly past. With painstaking care the little old mar hitched the staid old quadruped to a post, and then lifted an oilcloth valise from the buggy. Then he tenderly helped his whitehaired companion to alight. “Now, mind the step, moth.er,” he said, in a tone of solicitude; “don’t git your dress ketched in the wheel," and, with many warnings, the old lady was deposited on the sidewalk. "That's all right,” he said. “Now, be careful o’ the steps, an’ you hold on to me, an’ I’ll git your ticket,’' and he picked up the dusty valise and assisted "mother” into the station. At the ticket office hsRckI. t "Young man, kin you tell me when the train leaves for Richmond?” The agent gave the Information and the little, old man drew out a buckskin purse—one of the kind with drawlngstrlngs—and slowly counted out the required amount for one ticket. There were a dozen people waiting their turn at the windows, but no one tried to hurry the old man, and one young fellow in a blue serge suit carefully brushed the dust from the old lady’s shawl. “I’m tol’able slow, young man. but I don't see’s well as I used to," the little old man remarked. Then he conducted his aged companion to a seat, as careiullj as If he had been the young man in the blue serge suit and she some beautiful daughter of fashion. When the Richmond train was called, the little old man placed his arm about the old lady’s waist and went with her to the ca. • "Now, mother, don’t you go to bein’ careless,” he said. "You always was so ventur'some. An' you be sure an' have Jim to write every day soca as you gei there; an' do be careful. Good-by, mother," and he kissed the faded lips as tenderly as he had ever done fifty years ago. “This is the first time mother ever went on the cars alone." he said to the gateman. "We've been married sence the spring o’ ’48, too. She’s a-goin’ over about Richmond to visit our son Jim’s folks, an’ I’m mighty ’fraid she'll get hurt. She’s so ventur’some. she’s atl’ays genin' into danger. But Jim’s wife, she’ll take care o’ her;' nay son Jim's folks set a sight o’ store by their old mother." And the gateman never even suited when he told the little old man there was no danger what- \ window of the car was raised and the old lady looked out. "Now, father, mind you don’t let the colt run away goln’ home; an’ If ye should get hurt any, the camfire’s on the top pantry shelf, an’ you can get some arniky over to Mis’ Robbins’s. An' you see’t them young chicks don't get drownded ef it should rain, an' don’t let the rats get ’em. Good-by, good-by," and the’ last thing seen as tb - train pulled out of the sheds was the little old roan waving his bandanna toward the face framed in snowwhite hair that looked back from the car window And no one who saw and heard the couple ever thought of 'flushing at the two aged lovers, whose romance had lasted over forty yeetz.

TREES IN CITY AND FQREST

BEST TREES FOR STREETS AND THE PROPER CARE OF THEM.

Disappearance of Indiana’s Forests —President Brovrn, of the Forestry Coni mission. Says Tree Growing Would be Profitable.

The president of the Indiaiia Forestry Association, John P. Brown, of Connersville, was in the city this week, and talked interestingly on the subject of trees. “It is becoming highly important," said Mr. Brown, "to put the people of the State in the way of receiving trustworthy information on the subject of preserving anti cultivating trees. Our association 1* intended to further this end. The subject of tree-planting in parks and streets is meeting with more consideration than ever before." “What kinds of trees do you favor for street-planting in cities? ’ “There are two that, perhaps, in a city should be selected before others for general purposes. Oife of these Is the elm; the other the scarlet maple, a handsome variety of the soft maple, and of rapid growth. The botanical name of this maple Is acer rubrum. The sugar maple is of slower growth, and more difficult to grow amid the asphalt streets and concr le walks of a city. Tre , need growirtg sp..ce for their roots, and they need breathing space. "What kill* trees In cities?” “Not so much depredations of insects as leakage from gas-pipes, both natural and artificial. There has been much carelessness in the putting down of natural gas-pipes and our trees have suffered from it. "The elm is not of slow growth, but it needs opportunity. The elm requires a good deal of water.to insure rapid growth and healthy vigor. I noticed that in Cincinnati many old elms are dying, simply for lack of water. The elm is long-lived, but will not live unless It has sufficient moisture. It may be in the near future that Indianapolis and other cities will have to depend upoi» the allanthus an! abele or silver poplar for their shade. These two kinds of trees stand neglect better than the more desirable trees. Trees Need Breathing Space. “The sweet-gum is a magnificent tree for shade, but I do not know how it will thrive an.eng the Indianapolis pavements. I think the engineers in many cities, including Indianapolis, make the mistake of not taking into account sufficient breathing places for the trees. They must have a reach at the sky and at the water. An excellent hardy tree, one that is not appreciated at Its full worth, is the heney locust, avenues of which may be seen in Washington city. While this tree bears the name locust, it belongs to an entirely different family from the ordinary’ black locust, which, many years ago, shaded the streets of Indianapolis. It Is equally as hardy as the abele and al'arthus. “What return could Indiana farmers get from the cultivation of trees?” "There is no crop grown in the United States that will pay as high a per cent, upon the Investment in twenty years. Once planted, a tree gives little or no expense or trouble. The' walnut and the English walnut will both succeed In Indiana, the latter in the southern part of the State. The chestnut will grow, I believe, in every county In Indiana. The butternut, or white walnut, is a beautiful tree. Though it does not grow to the size of the black walnut, I befieve the cultivated omternut will produce a nut that would be in demand at a high price by reason yf Us rich flavor. Decrease of Indiana FArests. “The fact that Indiana forests have disappeared wjth their great trees suitable for timber, is brought to us with startling empharis when we see that more than SO per cent of the lumber used In Indiana is brought from without the State. Even from Brown county all the valuable timber l as been cleared out, remote as K is from the railroads—walnut, poplar, basswood and white oak are practically gone. "I sent a caiaipa post to the World's Fair that had bee*, seventy-five years on an Indiana farm. It was still sound. The native natalJ»a are nearly nil gone. It dues not reproduce itself as do other trees, and should be planted largely. I* sKbuki be planted closely, as in a forest. So p’anrtd. It grows upright, not. gnarled and twirtet! as on cur streets, hut makes a handsome and valuable tree.”

A visitor to Indianapolis went Into the Governor's office and addressed Charles E. Wilson, the Governor's secretary. "I’m glad to see you," he said, "for yon are the first man I have been able to f id in this whole State House. There was a woman in every other office.” It has been only a few years since there was scarcely a woman about the Capitol engaged In office work. The duties of the various offices were administered by men. To-day there are twenty-three women employed in various positions in the State offices, and the number Is Increasing. Most of these women are stenographers, but a number of them hold positions as clerks of departments. Their work is highly satisfactory to the heads of the departments, who say the woman employe in the State office has become indispensable. They give many reasons for this—they say women can do better and more rapid work as stenogr. - pheis than the "general run" of men; they are willing to work for less, pay, as a rule, and then their presence Is said io brighten up the dull routine of State work. Like to Work at the State House. As a general thing, women like to work In State offices—they say there is a certain charm about the working of State business; there is greater freedom in the departments at the Capitol than there is about down-town stores or offices, and then great opportunity is offered for a wide and profitable acquaintanceship which often leads to better things. The State House Is a great place for politicians to visit. Congressmen and men who have seeflred appointments in public office rarely come to the city without paying a visit to some of the State offices. Tnese men have a good patronage, and a good impression a bright young woman makes on some of these men often leads to a more responsible and lucrative position, perhaps at Washington. The public office work also has its disadvantages. There Is not much privacy about It, and the stenographer, or woman clerk, often has to be a general Information bureau in regard to where things are and what is going on about tho office, and she often lias to use her best wits to shield the head of the department from wearisome and tedious callers, who would take up most of his time if they could only get past her. Some of tne women who have been employed in private offices long for a little den where they can sit and “pound out” typewritten manuscript without interruption by callers who just drop in "to see how ‘Cap’ or ‘Bill’ or ‘the Old Man’ is getttn’ along since he gothis office." The First Women Employes. Miss Anna Nicholas, of this city, the author of “An Idyl of the Wabash and Other Stories,” was perhaps the first woman employed in the State offices. She held a position in the office of the Clerk of the Supreme Court, when Theodore McCoy was clerk. He served from 1868 to 1872. After Miss Nicholas, Miss Carrie Shannon, of Bluffton, took a position in the office of the Reporter of the Supreme Court, remaining there from 1880 to 1884. The first stenogapher at the Capitol was probably Miss Anna Davis, who entered the office of the Clerk of the Supreme Court in 1882, under S. P. Sheerin. Miss Maggie Sheerin, sister of the clerk of the court, was also in the office, where she was known as one of the expert typewriters of the city. In 1885, or 1886, Miss Florence Stewart entered the office of‘the State Board of Health, remaining there until 1889 or 1890. Miss Mary H. PeaCock Is known as the dein of the women employes of the State He use. She is fee clerk in the office of the Clerk of the Supreme Court, where she has been since 1*84. Miss peacock Is thoroughly acquainted with the work of the office, and is looked on as indispensable. She has full charge of one department. In the Clerk’s office are also Miss Grace M. White, record clerk, who was formerly in the office of the Secretary of S»ate, under Mr. Owen, and Miss Clara L. .Hess, who is stenograpner for the office. In the Governor’s Office. The business of the Governor's office has been largely administered by men, and it Is yet, although one young woman holds a position as a clerk and stenographer in the office. She is Miss Grace L. Duvall, formerly of the office of the Secretary of State. The first woman employe of the Governor’s office was Miss Callle McMechan, of Clinton, who entered the office with Governor Claude Matthews, coming from the office of the Secretary of State. In the office of the Auditor of State, Miss Nellie Moore is stenogrhpher. The Secretary of State’s office is now strictly masculine, all of Us positions being filled by men. This is the first time that such a condition has existed for several years. In the Attorney-General’s office Mrs. Minnie C. Morgan is stenographer. Miss Maude Johnson is also doing special Work in the office. In the office of the State Board of Health, by an act of the last Legislature, Mrs. Grace S. Carter was made the "chief clerk of the ooard of vital statistics of the Indiana State Board of Health.’’ The chief clerk went to Michigan last spring, to observe the workings of the statistical department there. She approached the Governor's office and produced a card, which set out her full title, taking up much of the face of the paateboerd. Mrs. Carter said afterward she thought it was too much to spring on an unsuspecting Governor, and so she substituted a simple visiting card; and was ushered Into the presence of the chief executive. Assisting Mrs. Carter, as stenographer, Is Miss Eva M. Campbell. In the office of the Chief of the Bureau of Statistics Miss Cora Wilson Is stenographer, and assists Mr. Conner, the head of the department. Miss May Stewart directs all typewritten affairs In the office of the Assistant Adjutant-General of the Indiana G. A. R. In the office of the secretary of the State Board of Agriculture Miss Nina Carter is one of the most recent additions to the State House force of young women. In the office of tho Quartermaster-General Miss Jessie E. Carpenter is clerk and stenographer and can direct affairs generally, even to the equipment of the National Guard. On the Second Flooor. On the second floor of the Capitol. Misu Laura Greely Is chief clerk of the Board of State Charities, which position she has held for several years. She is looked on

THE WAY HE SIZED IT.

A couple of newsboys, apparently about twelve and fourteen years old, were stretched out in a doorway in newspaper alley the other day, waiting for the “first ’dishun.” The younger one was puzzling over the “scare Leads" of a papet of the day before, and trying to settle in hi* mind the merits of the ctse which is likely to cause a revolution over hi FranceFinally he said: “Say, Joe, w'at is die here Dryfusa case de papers la full cf now?

"Well, Eddie,” said the older one; "I dor't know if dls is straight, but it's de way I got it sized.
