Some of the Girls Used Their Fista on the Punching Bag— Class Exercises. The gymnasium recently established at public school No. 46, through the perseverance of Miss Clara Washburn. Is attracting great attention, and . may lead to an extension of this feature to other school buildings. The third floor of No. 45, known as the Assembly Hall, has a floor space of 75 by SO feet, and this hall has been fitted up with apparatus In tho form of swinging poles, ladders, horses, parallel bars, turning poles, rings and a punching bag. Five hundred children receive physical culture hgro under direction of Adolph Mols, being divided Into five classes, each class having one hour and twenty minutes on two days of each week.

They are .first taught inarching and a series of exercises with their hands and arms. It Is & beautiful sight to see, a class of a hundred or more of these*-ytwngsters marching, keeping cadence to their steps by clapping their hands. The little girls swing in the rings and by ropes like the ribbons of a May pole, with as great a sent as the boys* and are as nimble of foot and as strong of arm as their brothers.

John C. Rodman Tells How a Native

Met a Quick Death.

John C. Rodman, of Troop K, of the Third United States Cavalry, In the Philippines, whose home is In this city, has 'written to hts relatives here telling of six battles In which he has taken part. In one of the fights, he says, a “bull cart loaded with gold" was captured -and sent to Manila. The fights spoken of were generally of short duration and were all victories for the Americans. “The last fight we had in the mountains,” he writes, “was as we were going from Began to Loag, where we are now. It lasted a couple of hours and three men were killed and

After Forecast Official Wannenhans hod scanned his reports from all points of the compass to-day, he announced that the people of Indianapolis might look for warmer weather to-morrow. “It will be cold again to-night," he said, “but it will be warmer to-morrow T ." The forecast official declined to say whether this would be the last cold snap -of the year. “I made a prediction like that once.” said he. “and I shall never make another. You will have to wait and see.”

PROPERTY OWNERS MEET.

Those In Hill and Hillside Avenues Want Improvements. Owner* of property In Hill and Hillside avenues met last night In Atkinson's blacksmith shop, 1503 Hillside avenue, to discuss the question of improving the two avenues. It Is stated that owners of property in Hill avenue are against a permanent Improvement, and that the same feeling prevails among the Hillside-avenue property owners. At the meeting last night It was decided to appoint a committee, representing property-owners in both streets, to go to the Board of Public Works and see If some way can not be devised by which these avenues, from Massachusetts avenue to Nineteenth street, can be put In the same condition they were In before they were torn up by the street railway company and the gas company, with no cost to the property-owners. The committee appointed Is H. W. Bennett. George Bolander, Louis Howland. George Schofield. Phillip Hoffbauer, George Lynch and Harry Brendt. This committee will hold a meeting to-mor-row, and Wednesday It will go before the board with a petition. Albert Thayer, who favors a-permanent improvement, announced that he would fight for some kind of pavement. He said he believed the majority of resident propertyowners were with him. He and those who think the same will meet Monday night to map out plans.

We walked along, unsuspecting, until we got within ten feet of a man hid in the side of a bank. He fired at ur and the bullet went over our heads.

THE NOVICE AT THE PRIZE FIGHT.

That was the Official Low Temperature To-Day. At 7 o’clock this morning the official thermometer of the local Weather Bureau on tOp of the Majestic Building registered 2 degrees above zero. The people who went to their work without taking a look at their home weather indicators were sure the mercury was down to S or 19 degrees below zero. Passengers on some of the small, ventilated Irvington street cars guessed the weather to bt even colder than that. The coal and wood men were kept busy. The fuel (not saying anything about natural gas) In many houses was low and citizens called up the Weather Bureau, hoping to hear that the weath er would moderate. Receiving no comfort they bought coal and wood. Merchants who have been busy displaying their spring styles did not have the heart to resume work to-day and people who

AIIOTlf! BARN DESTROYED

INCENDIARY CONTINUES APPLY THE MATCH.

Police Are of the Opinion that Overheated Stoves Are the Chief Cause of the Fires. Another barn was burned, shortly afte” 5 o'clock this morning, in the rear of B. Kaufman's residence, at 1614 Park ave nue. Almost every night the fire department is called to a burning barn, thought to have been ignited by an Incendiary. Mr. Kaufman says there was no way for the barn to catch on fire, as no one has been sleeping in the place for several months. Chief Barrett says that the barn fires are of great annoyance to the department. The police say they think many of the (ires which are thought to be of incendiary origin are the result of carelessness on the part of the owners. They say that many of the barns are heated with stoves and that defective flues are common in barns. There is direct evidence, however, that “tire-bugs” are resoonslole for two or three of the twenty or more barn fires of the last two months. An omnty oil can was found in the loft of a burnt barn In Indiana avenue, and a man was seen applying a lighted match to a barn in the rear of Tenth street. There are three colored men in the city who are known to have a mania for harn-burn’ng. but there has been no evidence upon which to convict them. While two of them were in the workhouse, recently, the other was watetaeS, and for a long time no barns wer» burned. The day after one of the prisoners was released, Benjamin Clifton’s barn, at t>21 Indiana avenue, was destroyed by fire. Clifton said he saw the man standing around at the time of the fire. The mania of one of the three suspects is to burn handsome barns. Kaufman’s barn was almost totally destroyed, causing a loss of about $500. Fires Still Numerous. The department was called to a double house at 906 and 90S Huron street, about 12 o'clock last night, where a defective flue had started a Are under the roof. The building was damaged to the extent of about KfX), and the furniture in each side of the hotlse was soaked with water. James Pullen and James Cassell art- the occupants.

A WAR COLLEGE. Important Order Issued by the Navy Department. NEW YORK, March 17.—A dispatch to the Tribune from Washington says: General order No. 544, published to the naval service by Secretary Long, installs Rear Admiral Crowminshield as chief of staff and creates a “general board” for the purpose of controlling the fleet. This order constituting a board of nine members, all line officers, is understood to be in the nature of an opening wedge in the movement to eliminate, as far as possible, civil control from the purely military and technical affairs of the service. Capt Henry . C. Taylor, formerly president of the war college, who is looked upon as the Mahan of the active list, in a note accompanying hts memorandum, says: "At present we perceive certain things. First, that we have established a war college and an office of intelligence. "Second, that these two are essential elements of a general staff. “Third—That the department appointed a war board when the late war began, indicating by such action the need of general staff advice.” Captain Taylor presents five orders, the first making the w-ar college and intelligence office mutually dependent; the second establishes a general board of nine members, five of whom are named in the first or permanent board, the others being the senior officer of the navy (Admiral Dewey), the commanding officer of the North Atlantic fleet and their chiefs of staff. This general board is to meet to consider the plans of the board of five every November, and at such times as may be desirable. The third order gives the chief of navigation custody of the approved plans, places the combined work of the w T ar college and intelligence office under his general direction and orders,''and designates him as the representative of the board in all transactions with the Secretary of the Navv, The fourth order is drawn with sufficient elasticity eventually to supplant the naval staff, the Marine Corps and all the civilian authorities of the department. It provides that “when matters of constructing, arming, equipping or manning the fleet are necessarily deduced from the war plans, and require action of the department and its bureaus in supplying ships and their accessories, they shall be submitted to the assistant secretary, who shall consider them and transmit them to the Secretary of the Navy.” • The fifth order provides for enlarging the force of the intelligenca office and war college and places the selection of officers for both details in "the chief of the bureau of navigation, in his capacity as chief of the general staff.”

RUNNING COMMENT]

The sessions of the High School Senate last night resembled, to some extent, the closing session of the Indiana Legislature in 1895, or one of the recent turbulent meetings of the Kentucky lawmakers. Senator Platt, of New York (George Posey), had just finished an oration against the bill providing for the election of Senators by direct vote of the people, and the floor was occupied by Keene, of New Jersey (Earl Steeth), in defense of the measure, when a shower of beans fell around the President's desk. Confusion followed. The galleries were filled to overflowing. In the diplomatic gallery were several well-known statesmen. The sergeant-at-arms called for the offender, but he did not court the expulsion, which Miss Donnan had assured the Senators would be his fate. The aergeant-at-arms then ordered’ from the Senate all visitors in the part of the room from where Miss Donnan supposed the missiles had come, telling them not to return until they could prove conclusively the offender was not among them. For condemning the mass on account of the wrong deeds of one person, the sergeant-at-arms was criticised. The president, Beveridge, of Indiana (Charles C. Pettljohn), announced that if innocent parties were ordered from the room, he would consider it his duty to accompany them. The - sergeant-at-arms did not heed his warning, and the visitors went. President Beveridge left the chan 1 to accompany them. He was succeeded by Shoup, of Idaho (Coburn Allen), the vice-president, but again took the chair to entertain a motion to adjourn, which was carried, with hardly a dissenting voice. The meeting closed • with pandemonium reigning. New Meeting Called. Shortly afterward a few who had opposed the action of Beveridge gathered in the room and called a new meeting. One diminutive tow-headed Senator was for forming an entirely new legislative body and excluding therefrom the members who had stood by their guests. Vce-President Shoup( Coburn Allen), who presided at this meeting, advised against It and the movement was abandoned. It was said by several present that the objects which were thrown did not come from the portion of the room where th* visitors who were ordered out were standing, and that while the action o some of the Senators was rash; that of the sergeant-at-arms was also Impulsive.

TOPEKA CAPITAL WILL PROFIT BY ITS NOTORIETY.

The Indianapolis News evidently thinks that the Sixth district is “dead easy.” Just let The News try to chuck John C. Calhoun and Democracy down our throats -and see how “easy” we are.— Newcastle Courier. Eugene V. Debs has been nominated by the Spcial Democracy for the presidency. Now, if the other Democrats would show their sociability by indorsing him what a lot of bother could be saved.—Goshen Times. The new financial bill will increase the circulation without in the slightest degree impairing the 100-cent dollar, equivalent to gold everywhere throughout the world. This is the Republican idea and the Republican achievement.—Huntington Herald. Indiana has reason to be pleased and lo be honored by the happy termination of the iefig struggle over the financial policy of the United States by the passage of a good financial bill, to which its distinguished citizen, Mr. Hugh Hanna, and its Congressman, Mr. Overstreet, contributed so muck—T«rre Haute Express. Of what avail Is it to prate of the unconstitutionality of the Porto Rican tariff, when every right guaranteed by the constitution and enunciated In the Declaration is trampled in the gore of the foremost citizens of a principal State of the Union? The Republicans of Kentucky are being persecuted. Imprisoned, impoverished, ruined for no other cause under heaven than that they are Republicans. May a just God and a just people rise up and potentially defend them.—Madison Courier. The prompt and busi/iess-like way in which the Republicans of Indiana have beep renominating their able and distinguished Congressmen and passing resolutions of corfidence in their integrity and sincere Republicanism, as well as in the wisdom and patriotism of the tiational administration, has probably opened the eyes of the Democratic and independent press of the State that they lack considerable of being the whole thing in matters that concern the Republicans and their duty to the country. —Brookville American.

A Theater Patron’s Complaint^ To the Editor of The News. Sir: Monday morning, at English’s Opera House, tickets were being sold for Viola Allen and John Drew. Of course there was quite a rush for tickets, yet the lobby was not so crowded as it has been on previous occasions. Nevertheless there was a policeman, as well as Mr. Miller himself, ordering every one either to “fall in line or get out of the hail.” There were about a half-dozen persons standing against the wail-in the lobby, waiting for some one who was purchasing tickets for them. These (including three women) were ordered (not asked) to “fall in line or get out the place.” As for myself and another lady, a strange boy was purchasing our tickets, and as we had given him the money, we were not willing to leave him without a watch, and we did not wish to fall In line and

thus keep others out.

Is English’s Opera House not a public place, apd as long as we were not in the way of other people, has either Mr. Miller or a policeman the right to order us out? And again, if the policeman had a right to control matters, why did he not <ompel Mr. Miller to open the other two windows and put two other men at work selling tickets, or sell tickets for Viola Allen at one window and for John Drew at the other, thus making two lines, and waiting on twice as many people at tbs same time? If the people are compelled to accommodate the theater manager, why is he not compelled to accommodate

ing yet.

it.”

Not ten days ago a couple of Michigan Congressmen, who are rated as about fourth-class, came rushing up to the office of a correspondent of & large Detroit paper, and desired to be interviewed concerning the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. They, were set going and proceeded to lambast "that compact It was un-Amer. lean and un-everything else. The correspondent took notes, thanked them and bowed them out. Then he scratched his head, looked at his watch, and wrote story for his paper to the effect that the treaty was dead. Two days later it developed that Davis was opposed to it and that it was practically doomed. “I knew.” said the correspondent, explaining it afterward, “that those fellows would never kick anything but a coi.se. They would not tell me, but I felt sure they had heard somehow that it was done for. It was a safe chance." . • . All the witnesses who came from Montana to testify In the Clark bribery case are out $4 on the railroad fare. The Government paid for their tickets; but the return trip wa» computed at the same rate as the one this way. As a matter of fact, the Western Tariff Association raised the rate Just at the time of the return. Ihe amount being small, the witnesses paid rather than press a claim for the difference. Up to date, the case has cost a little over 830,000. • • • The talk among certain of the “little Congressmen” to the effect that it will be well to look carefully to the Treasury before making large appropriations for ship subsidies, means that the word has been circulated that the Hanna-Payne subsidy bill Will not be pressed at this session of Congress. The administration has a hatful! of troubles with the Porto Rico tariff mtiss, and it does not want any more trust-fostered measures than are absolutely necessary to secure the expenses of the coming campaign. • me And speaking of campaign expenses, it is an Interesting rumor that the rich Senator W. A. Clark, of Montana, is promising to contribute to both Republican and Democratic campaign funds. He needs supjtort from both parties In the Senate If he Is to retain his seat. That is the plan of the rallrodds—to contribute to both parties—so that, whichever wins, they will be taken care of. THOMAS TAGGART.

Speaking of the new career of the paper, Mr. Pooenoe said: , “We feel that the week proves that Mr. Sheldon s idea of running a newspaper as Jesus'would run it Is a success, and we are determined to perpetuate It. We shall pay a little more attention to current news than he has done, but in - the main the Capital will be run in future along the lines laid down by him.” Mr. Popenoe is a banker, and he knows the value of judicious advertising. He admits that the owners of the Capital can not afford to let the present opportunity pass. The paper has not been a paying investment. During the last week under the Sheldon management It lias attained an enormous earning capacity, and will net probably 360,000. Under the new plan it Is expected to pay well. The di-

rector* and stockholders of the paper expect that os the only religious dally In the United State* the Capital will now begin a prosperous career.

Ths rest of the paper consists of antt-Uquor articles, correspondence and adverse criticism of “Public Funerals," by Stdwart Sheldon, father of the editor, and other writings calculated to promote the religious spirit.

Sheldon to packing his trunk for a lecture tour of Europe.
