The cane sugar interof Louisiana also were well represented and Chairman Payne arranged to them a part of the time, ae outset, Mr. Place, head of the delegation, made a statement to up misapprehensions on Cuba's position. He had argued for free trade, he said, as that was the earnest wish of Cuba. But while this was the judgment of the Cuban people he said, they deferred to the judgment of the American on the whole question. He . want what you will grant, no more advantage, nor as much. as we are able to concede to your produsers. Without suggestion as to limitations we leave to your statesmanship the relations which are to prevail between us. The sovereignty is.yours over both alike and your determination will be accepted by us as fully and freely as by the American people themselves.'* Mr. Oxnard made a statement of the position of the Beet Sugar Association. He said beet sugar production represented a vast Industry brought Into existence by the legislation of Congress which had invited capital to Invest to an extent little realised. Already the Industry was flourishing in eleven States, with many people employed, and prospects of rapid development. Continuing, he said: “Stripped of sentimentality and all extraneous considerations, and reducing the Cuban demands for free or freer sugar <o Its simplest equation, it is, shall the United States, through Its agriculturists, produce its raw sugar, and, in its factoecattered from the Atlantic to the rettne Its products, or shall It t foreign lands to export to it tho material and content Itself merely the refining? , t production in Cuba to-day Is established and the chief industry ffti* Island.

Daniel Storms, of Lafayette, who is in the city, will to-morrow issue a formal call for the annual meeting of the Lincoln League of Indiana at Terre Haute, February 12 and IS. He is president of the organization, but will retire at the annual meeting. In the last national campaign y the Lincoln League was extended to every county In the State, and its several thousand members were regarded as one of the most important parts of the party organisation. President Storms will urge Republicans, and the members of the league especially, to attend the Terre Haute meeting. Speakers of national and State reputation will be present It is expected that the attendance will be even larger than that at the recent love feast in this city. The Marlon Club, of this city, has engaged a .special train for the occasion. The presidency of the league is regarded as a stepping-stone to some of the State offices, so there is a hard fight on for the place. Harry Miller, of Fairmount, has been In the race longest, and Is regarded as a leading candidate.

4t I Wonder if I*d Better Take My Gun with Me?

Few Old Soldiers in the Race. . The old soldiers are unusually few among the Republican candidates for State offices. In the entire list thus far there are only two veterans of the cjivil

war.

John Dyer, of Lake county, who wants to be State Treasurer, Is one of. the youngest members of the Q. A. R. in Indiana. He was a cavalryman, and was only sixteen years old when he was mustered out of the Tenth Michigan Cavalry in 1866. James R. Henry, of Owen, whose ambitions look toward the State audttorahip, was sixteen when he shouldered a musket in 1861. It has been said that John W. Wilson, of Petersburg, who would be AttorneyGeneral, is a veteran, but this, It is stated, is an error. Judge Black and Judge Comstock are veterans, but the offices to which they seek renomination and re-election are considered in the nature of district offices, though the judges

NEW TESTAMENT MIRACLES.

| Payne asked Mr. Oxnard as

to the report that be had suggested Mrreement with the Cubans. Mr. Oxnard answered that no such agreement had been made. There had been a discussion, during which Is was suggested that If Congress decided to grant concessions to Cuba It should be m the form of a rebate. t He also denied that there was any trust

In the beet-sugar Industry.

Representative Grosvenor* of Ohio, and Representative Richardson, of Tennessee, had a sharp exchange during Mr. Oxnard’s exanSnatlonT^kr. Richardson referred to a statement by the witness that the sugar trust instigated the Cuban jfffrredjr movement. Reading from 2 r ^?* nt Hoowvolfs message recommending Cuban reciprocity, Mr. Rich-

ardson said:

Ministers Who Think Prof. Pearson Has Been Misunderstood. The recent newspaper publications concerning the opinions of Professor Pearson, of the Northwestern University, Evanston, questioning the truth of the New' Testament miracles, have not created much distress among the Methodist clergy

of Indianapolis.

*T do not know,” said the Rev. Joshua Bt&nsfleld, "that I have any views concerning his utterances. I am waiting with considerable Interest to hear a statement from him. He says ho .will make such a formal statement* Borne of the things published I can not understand that he has said. I hardly think he has said them

as they have been reported.

“I do not know of anything in the present state of biblical criticism that could Justify a man In Professor Pearson's position in making such statements as he is said to have made about the miracles In the gospels. On the matter of Inerrancy In the scriptures, the difficulty is in knowing Just what he means by what be has said, for neither the Methodist church nor any of the evangelical bodies has contended for years back as to the inerrancy of scripture, in its form of presentation, but rather ip the truth contained. Inerrancy, as we use it, has ref-

erence to the truth wholly.’*

Dr. W. R. Halstead, “lies in the fact that they did not understand whether, when he uses the term Bible, he means the verltaa entls, the entire truth, or the veritas sign, the sign of the truth.

Whatever the Bible teaches, at the bottom is the Infallible truth of God. "A report of a meeting of that kind and the utterance of a speaker, may be so misconstrued as to make a judgment upon such a man's utterance altogether premature.

The West Indianapolis car had made Its regular stop on the north side of Maryland street and was closely followed by the West Washington street car.

John Short, who was arrested on the same charge, wae allowed to go, as he proved that he was not In the policy business. Short uses carbon paper in his business and detectives mistook this for the carbon paper generally ueed by policy men.

The Ways of Girls

THINKS ONE IS NEEDED.

‘Tm glad you got the seats on that side of the theater." said the redhaired girl with pink and white complexion, "for that’ll show off my good side." Her companion, the girl with the yellow hair, looked puzzled and then asked, "Why, what do you mean?” Smilingly the first girl replied: “Don’t you know everybody has a beauty side and a character side? The right profile is the character side and the left profile is the beauty side. You Just look at the difference in my profiles and you’ll understand why I always want the audience to my left—that’s my best side, and I feel better, more at my ease and surer of myself when I sit that way. Of course, with some people there Is not such a marked difference in their profiles. My sister used to be awfully careful about this thing. She always thought of It, and I could tell when she was maneuvering so as to show off her beauty side. She’d come In a room, left-side-face; and she’d sit in that same position when she entertained callers, especially gentlemen. After a while she grew tired of the habit and quit it. Said she didn't see that she made any more "hits” with that side of her face than with the other, and she was afraid, too, If her friends always saw her beauty side, she might ‘lose out’ when they noticed the plain character side.”

Negley’s Ordinance for Weight* and Measures Inspector. Councilman Negley will Introduce an ordinance to provide for the appointment of a weights and measures Inspector. He thinks the recent investigations that developed shortages In coal weights Indicate that there is necessity for such an official. He would have the inspector weigh or measure groceries and vegetables and other things of that sort, as well as coal. Under the proposed ordinance the new office would be self-supporting. Negley’s plan is to have the inspector charge a small fee for affixing his seal on tha articles he weighs.

A young woman on the North Side has

discovered—at ‘ - -

... least It is a discovery to

her and her family—that petroleum will clean silk quite as well as gasoline or benxine. As is frequently the case, the discovery was the result of an accident With

a hot ' ‘

ttle of what she supposed was gasoline, taken out of the medicine < ‘

line, taken out of the medicine closet, and her light silk blouse, she went up to the attic and scrubbed and rubbed for an hour and more, and with excellent results, too. After the blouse had aired for several hours, she exhibited It to her family to show what a good job she had done. They looked and sniffed and asked what she had used to clean the waist with, to which she replied, "Gasoline, of course; you know, I always use that.” The family protested that the odor from the waist was not gasoline, but coal oil. Investigation proved that petroleum had been used, and time showed that the odor did not cling to the blouse as long as did that of

gasoline.

PARAGRAPHS OF THE DAY.

The girl of many moods has quit riding on the street car line that almost passes her home, and even the line two squares distant, and is patronizing a line four squares from her home, and all for a change of "scene.” She has grown tired of the cars and their regular passengers, tired also of the jumbo cars on the second nearest line, even if riding on fhem does make her feel she is “going some place big,” as she says, and even if the ‘ regulars” thereon are an Improvement on her nearest line. So she walks four extra squares four times a day. and feels rewarded for the all-round change of view—new houses, new Jogs and turns and curves in the street, new faces and consequent new theories. How many people that use the street cars every day can sympathize with this girl who tires of riding on the same line day In and day out; but how few have the energy to go out of their way each day to find a change. This girl is Known among her friends as the girl of moods. Possibly if they were as honest as she is they would confess to moods similar to hers. Although she belongs to one of the large churches, she goes to other churches frequently, and testifies to much benefit. Although she is devoted to her friends, she feels the necessity of "shuffling' , them, dividing them Into small sets or cliques and being with them alternately, only occasionally caring to meet them altogether In a large company. Her moods and changeableness lend her "infinite variety.” and serve to show her friends wherein they might profit by Imitation.

THE LETTER EXPLAINED.

Postoffice Clerks Thought ft was an Infernal Machine. The clerks of the stamp canceling department of the Indianapolis post office thought for a while yesterday that some one had attempted to send an "Infernal machine" through the mail, but it waa discovered that a woman la OUnviUe was sending a box of toy pistol paper cape to her son, with a note saying she trusted he would have a good time. As the passed into the canceling machinery there was a sudden explosion, accompanied by a puff of smoke. Many clerks dropped their work la astonishment. not knowing what had happened. Other* had to busy themselves trying to save letters near the machine, as the explosion started a blaze. A few tetters were badly scorched before they were removed. The source of the trouble caused much amusement among the postoffice employes.

Bridge Roadways Reported Cracked. There Is a report that the roadways of both the Meridian street and minds street bridges are cracked. City Engineer Nelson said to-day that he did not know whether it was true, because he bad not investigated, fie noticed recently, he sold, that the roadway in one of the arches in the Meridian street bridge had settled somewhat In the middle, bat that did not impair Its strength. It rimply made it look. bad.

One Company Walvaa Franchize— Two Still Left—Othar Line*. Nathaniel Morris and George Webster, holding a franchise for an Interurban lino along the National road from the limits of Indianapolis west to the county line and under whose franchise tha company represented by A. R. Hovey was to operate, have filed a waiver of their right* under their franchise. The county commissioners say the promoters have been unable to finance the scheme and ae Chas, Finley Smith has an application in for a franchise over the same route, they are

getting out of his way.

Smith has been notified by a representative of the board that he can have the franchise now any time he want* It and the board will probably take action on taia application this week. He aaks for a franchise over the National road over tho earn# route that Hovey’s company had. though It is understood that he has a private right-of-way almost complete. The Understanding is that he will use the National road through Bridgeport only, though tn a few cases where he has been unable to get a private right-of-way he will use the franchise to whip the owner#

of property into line.

Smith has already begun the laying of track In Plainfield toward Indianapolis, and his application to the county commissioners provides that the franchise shall be void if construction be not begun in this county by the 1st of April, and be not completed by the 1st ©f December. ■ While the withdrawal of Hovey’e line

is another company, it Is asserted, will build between the town and the cKy. Henry L. Smith. William Reagan, of Bridgeport, and John J. Appel have been active in the work of this company. The interests behind it are not known, but it is said that there is plenty of money to back it The company has purchased a private right-of-way. and has over SS per cent, of it paid for. It runs along the Vandalla tracks to Five Points, and from there follows the south side of tbs National road. The company does not cross a railway, and Is claiming to have the best way of any of the companies which have been in the field. It is said to be an older company than Smith's, but has

not been Incorporated.

The Indianapolis, ShelbyvlUe A South* eastern Traction Company and the county will collaborate in building a bridge across a county ditoh at Naw Bethel. The commissioners say that they had Intended to build a new bridge there this year, anyway. The bridge will be built under specifications prepared by the county engineer, and will be of stone. Its estimated cost is 8760. The county will

pay 8280. ■ Tl^H

he commissioners also agreed to order the fencee along the south side of the Michigan road moved back tn places where the property holders refuse to move them, at the request of the traction company. The road was originally one hundred feet wide, but property owners have put tha fences thirty feet out on both sidli*. The traction company *
