BOARD OF STATE CHARITIES PREPARING A REPORT.

NOTHING YET GIVEN OUT

Rwult of th. Vltltt will Not bo Mad. Known Until the Report is Put Before the Gov- ‘ ernor.

The Board of State Charities, which finished Its round of the Insane hospitals of the State Saturday, met at the State House to-day and considered the information It had collected. The visits were made on the suggestion of Attorney-Gen-eral Taylor, with a view to finding out whether In any of the Indiana institutions for the Insane sane persona were detained. At the meeting to-day there were present Amos W. Butler, secretary of the board: | John R. Elder, chairman of the committee to visit the insane hospitals; Thomas C. Ellison, of Ft. Wayne; Demarchua C. Brown, of Irvington; Dr. Mary A. Spink, of Indianapolis, and Mrs. Margaret F. Peele, of Indianapolis. It was announced by the secretary that nothing concerning any of the visits would be given to the public until after the board had made its report to the Governor. The Eastern Indiana Hospital for the Insane, at Richmond, was the last institution visited. The board paid two visits to the Central Hospital for the Insane, In Indianapolis, and one visit to each of the other institutions. On one of the visits to the Central Hospital the committee was accompanied by Merrill Moores, Assistant Attorney-General. Mr. Ellison, after the meeting this forenoon, said he did not think the board *ould find it necessary to make additional visits to the insane hospitals. The time of the meeting to-day was spent in going over data that had been collected. These, with the finding of the board, will i>e incorporated in the report to the Governor. B Secretary Butler and the members of the board decline to give any Intimation of what the report will show. It was thought by some persona that the presence of the Assistant Attorney-General at the insane hospital In this city at the time of the boards' vlait might indicate that the board had found conditions there that called for either legal advice or investigation. It is expected that the report will be submitted to the Governor some time this

week.

AT THE CHURCHES. God’s Good Days and £</er- Useful Truths from the Bible. The Rev. Elisha P. (“Ram’s Horn”) Brown preached at the Central-avenue Methodist Episcopal church yesterday morning on “Our Dark Days God's Good

Daya"

“We can all look back over our lives and see some of the darkest days,’’ he said, “and yet those days bad a glorious sunset. They have turned out to be our best days. There are certain things that God can tell in the dark that He can not tell In the sunlight. Our dark days may be our best days because they may be God's days.” At the morning service of the Tabernacle church, the Rev. J. Gumming Smith took for his subject, *T am Alpha and Omega.” Among other things he said: “At times people who glance at the surface of church life mourn‘the loss of enthusiasm; at times we wonder If the conquests of science will not eclipse the dear old story of the cross; at times we feel that th« truth which can thrill low races may grow dim and effete in the next few centuries, when intelligence will rise and round out to her complete resplendence like the sun; and when we are haunted with this ghastly specter we overlook the fact that always God has exported, as It were, a grand half-seen, half-grasped truth from the Bible to apply to the new conditions." The feast of the Assumption will be celebrated In' this city and throughout the Catholic world, next Thursday. At St John’s Catholic church mass will be celebrated at 6, 7, and # a. m-. and vespers at 7:1»Q In the evening.

A County Council Question.

GERMAN DAY.

How

As a result of eating impure brick cheese, five persons in the family of William Q. Smith, 219 East Eleventh street, were taken violently sick last night. Mr. Smith says he purchased the cheese on the market Saturday afternoon, intending It for luncheon Sunday. O. A. Farthing and his wife, who Is a daughter of Mr. Smith, shortly aft?r eating complained of severe pains, Mrr. Farthing especially so, and Dr. T. K. Stuckey was called In and succeeded In relieving them. Carey L. Smith, a son, shortly after partaking of the luncheon, went to Broad Ripple, accompanied by a young woman. While there he was taken sick, but after a short time was better. Miss Laura Smith, another daughter, left home to visit a friend In Shrlver avenue and while there she, too. was taken sick. A physician was hastily called and after working with her for several hours pronounced her out of danger. She was considerably better this morning, but was not able to be taken home. W. Q. Smith also partook of the cheese and was taken sick, but soon rallied. Several other members of the family ate some of the cheese, but not enough to make them sick. Dr. Stuckey said this afternoon that his patients were undoubtedly suffering from ptomaine poisoning. He said blame did not necessarily attach to the person who sold the cheese, since fermentation In cheese was likely to take place this hot weather without easily being detected. The doctor says the patients are all out

of danger.

CRIP WHITMAN ARRESTED. Levee Hack Driver Accused eff Robbing a Drunken Man. Harry Whitman, a levee hack driver, better known as “Crip" Whitman, was arrested this forenoon by bicycle police Hauser and Trimpe on the charge of grand larceny. “Crip" Is an old character on the levee and has not always been looked on with favor by the police, but heretofore nothing has been placed against him of a tangible nature. Early this morning a telephone message reached the police station that a drunken man was being robbed in 'West Pearl street by a hack driver, and Trimpe and Hauser were detailed on the case. They first went to the saloon of Bill Henry, in West Washington street, and there learned that “Crip" and a tall stranger had been "setting up" the house, and that “Crip" seemed well supplied with money. They later heard tlwt back of the saloon a hack driver had had his horse shod, and that a drunken man had been in the hack at the time. At Georgia street and Senate avenue they saw a hack approaching, and when they held It uo, discovered “Crip" and the stranger within. Just as Trimpe rode up to the hack, he saw “Crip” pass over a pocketbook to the stranger, with a “Here’s your money.” The pocketbook contained $110. The owner of the hack was driving, and it Is said that "Crip” was taking the stranger to the Union Station with the intention of seeing him safely out of the city. “Crip" was arrested and was locked up with the stranger, who was charged with drunkenness, and who gave his name as George William and his residence as this city. It Is asserted by the police that they have witnesses who saw the “touch."

STILL NO RAIN IN SIGHT. An Agreeable Twenty-Four Hours of Temperature, However. “Not a rain reported at this office from any point in Indiana for the twenty-four hours, ending at noon to-day," said Weather Observer Sullivan. “The official forecast to-day is fair weather to-night and probably on Tuesday. There are rains south and southwest, in the lower Mississippi valley, in Oklahoma. Kansas and Missouri, some In Tennessee and In the western part of Kentucky. “In the movement vhich is toward the east it is likely that some rain will fall in the southern part of Indiana. That is about the onlv hope that can be held out for Indianapolis. The highest mark in temperature during twenty-four hours, ending at 7 a. m. t to-day. was yesterday at 3 p. m.. 85 degrees; the lowest 63 degrees at 6 a. m. 4 to-day.”

WORKHOUSE HOSPITAL. Now Ready for Use, but There Are No Sick Prisoners. The workhouse hospital Is completed, but, fortunately. t'.*e prisoners are all in good enough health to keep them out of the new building, and at present It is tenantless. It is a substantial one-story brick building, having modern, hospital equipment and fitted to take care of twelve to fifteen patients. It iflll relieve the City Hospital of the sick who go from the workhouse, and these will now be under guard during their Illness.

The Wm. H. Block Co,

A certain large gambler of this city— financially and physically large—wears on his equally large leather money sack a big bone ring, such as adorns the harness of a horse or the mouth of a teething baby—the sort of rings that our grandpas and their grandpas cut their teeth on, and that have been handed down as heirlooms. But this particular man took no interest in his grandpas, said they were “dead ones," in fart, and as for heirlooms, he thought they were a sinful waste of space that might be utilised to hold money. So the sudden appearance of the teething ring, some time ago. aroused considerable Interest among his friends. All sorts of guesses were made, but despite the fact that the friends make a living by guessing, none of their surmises in the present Instance seemed satisfactory. Some said that the ring was the squares! thing about the man, others said that it was all that was left of a man who

he hauled forth the much-discussed ring, and said: “Voodoo? No. this ain’t no voodoo. This is jest for some of them smart guys to cut their eye teeth on.” The ring Is much worn in places. ♦ ♦ ♦ Judge Thomas B. Buskirk, of Paoli, who called on his old associates, the members of the State Tax Board, told a story of justice at the hands of a southern Indiana ’squire. A policeman haa had difficulty arresting a prisoner, and in the scuffle had forced his man into subjection by a liberal use of his fists. The prisoner had the policeman arrested for assault and battery. When the evidence was all in the old ’squire pushed back from his desk, let hla spectacles down low on his nose and stretched lu a deliberate sort of way. Then he expounded the law. “The law provides," said he, with ponderous deliberation, "that a policeman may carry a revolver. The law also specifies that a policeman may carry a club. With either one of these an officer may force his prisoner into subjection. The law, however, says nothing about a policeman striking a prisoner with his fists. Therefore, the fine is $1 and costs.’
