Wire from All 0 vex Indiana Indianapolis, Nov. 2. A carnival in

Paris could not have presented a merrier scene than the one in, Washing

ton street during the celebration ' of

llalloween. Hundreds were in mask

strolling along the sidewalks in the

street, on cars, in wagons, automobiles,

and even on bicycles. It was a revela

tion to those who watched the spec

tacle. By common instinct the merry

makers seemed to be drawn together.

They came from every direction seem

ingly with Washington street as the j

Mecca. There were women and girls

in men's clothing and many men and

boys tripped along in sklrta and petticoats.

Bent on Havinjr a Good Time. The spirit of the occasion prompted

roigh, but good-natured play. In the

roadwav there was almost a continuous

procession of hay wagons, buckboatds and other vehicles, filled with, maskers, all blowing horns, shouting, laughing

and struggling with the funmakers who tried to Join them. It was a mischievous army bent on having a

good time. The police were over

whelmed by the spectacle. They had

issued orders against men masking as

women, for the reason that such an

occasion gives the crook nn opportuni

ty to work, but the Avholesale violations of the order caused them to take a back seat, so to syeak, and watch

for those who eiC"S3ded the bounds.

Desk Sergeant a Busy Man. Perhaps the busiest man In Indian

apolis was Desk Sergeant Schwab at police headquarters. The fun making

In different parts of the city was not

all of an innocent nature, as Schwab was Informed every minute, or as fast as he could answer the 'phones. There

were tales of woe, complaints, threats, curses and entreaties poured into his

ear, and the bicycleman and district

patrolman were kept on a jump obeying Schwab's orders.

Vandals Also Were Abroad. In addition to the innoceut merry

maker there was abroad in the city

the youngster who seemed possessed

with a mania to destroy. Gates and

fences disappeared, porch furniture was

carried away, horses and buggies were driven off, automobiles were tampered

with and put out of service, three ma

chines were driven away, signs were

torn down, a milch cow was stolen,

and other depredations were committed by the vandals.

CHILDREN IIAVE BAD TEETH

Ninety Per Cent, of Those in the

Schools Have Diseased Masticator). Princeton, Ind., Nov. 2. As a re

suit of an Investigation by the school authorities, assisted by several dentists,

it is now claimed that fully 90 per cent, of the school children are trou

bled with diseased teeth, and Superin

tendent Barnes, of the city schools, is

advocating the appointment of dental

inspectors, that parents may be ap prised of the condition of their chil

dren's teeth, and see that they have

dental attention.

The superintendent contends that a child with bad teeth is incapable of do

ing the best work in school. The in

vestlgation also shows that but a small

per cent, of the children make an ef fort to care for their teeth.

J. Lt. Fox, claim agent for the Chicago, Indiana & Southern road, made a business trip to the city this morning.

nounces that he will produce it in a

most elaborate manr.er. The piece Is

to be very prettily staged with considerable new scenery and a most capable cast. "The Power of the Press" has been produced from one end of the country to the other and has been ex

THEATRICAL NOTES.

"BEN-HUR" INTERESTS

NON-THEATERGOERS

Thousands upon thousands of people

who seldom visit a playhouse are

crowding the Chicago Auditorium

nightly to see "Ben-Hur." The keen

Interest they manifest In Its enactment J causes regret that more plays of this character are not in existence. "BenHur" with its lustrous Star of Bethlehem, its camels and chariot steeds, its

oriental trappery and splendor of the

gorgeous cast is one of the most elab

orate spectacles ever staged, and yet

the appeal of General Wallace's re-

of "The Man of Calvary" Is brought

home with all-compelling force. The Star of Bethlehem, the adoration of the Wise Men, the heart-throbbing tale of the meeting of Christ with Hur, the

greetings of the great multitude on the

Mount of Olives and the final miracle

of the cleansing of the lepers these

are some of the Incidents of "Ben-

Hur" which separate it from Other

plays and make It In its grandeur

stand apart.

Special attention is being given to the public of this vicinity who are de

sirous of witnessing this mighty play, j

It is advisable to write well in advance for seats so that desirable locations may be secured. Mall orders

with remittances addressed to Mr. Mil-

ward Adams, dicertor Auditorium theater. Chicago, will receive prompt at

performances and Saturday matinees is $1.50 and $1.00 for the lower floor; $1.00 and 75 cents for the balcony and
