Stop the Nonsense. The branding of a young girl by the
members of the Alpha Uamraa -i.au so
rority of Shortrldge high school, In
dianapolis, is another link in tne evidence against high school fraternities. Only recently, in a neighboring state,
a girl candidate was compelled to enter a house occupied by a barber and his family, and do the skirt dance much to their surprise and amusement. Her companions outside watched
the victim through a window. What
takes place in these high scnooi society meetings the public has not
learned, but is seems that the time Is ripe to call a halt. It is the duty of parents of young girls to see that they are at home. Heads of high schools and colleges are endeavoring to break
up these societies, but have so far met with little success, and it is up to the parents to do away with these fratern
ities by keeping their Doys ana gins away. Anderson Bulletin.

were teasing her because she was an adopted child to tho parents Who loved her at their own. "My papa and

THE MUGGER'S ATTENDANTS.
While clambering up I noticed what looked like the hulk of a ship, about
-100 vards awav. It turned out to be a
monster crocodile; It must, without ex
aggeration, have been twenty-seven or twenty-eight feet long, and in its close vicinity were five or six email muggers, looking like a body guard. I was after

that they actually act as such, and give warning of any approaching danger to

OTHER EVELYN NESBITS.
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw's simple story of her downfall through the connlVlanees of Sanford White as told in
court yesterday, Is one of Intense hu
man Interest but it is no cuiiorem irum that of a dozen unfortunates In our own city might tell, with the exception that tho setting is different. Evelyn Nesbit was a poor girl with a rare beauty of form and feature that even as a caro free school girl she was sought by artists from far and wide as a model. This served to advertise her charms and soon she became the object of the attentions of those thriftless, worthless young men who, coddled by wealthy parents, are early blase and find relief from ennui only In the wildest adventures and dissipations. Evelyn Nesbit was the natural prey of these unscrupulous men when In addition she had a mother who was so ambitious for her success by the glitter of gold In grospect that she tossed away the barriers she had placed between her child and the moral vultures that sought her, It Is little wonder the child fell. In the lower walks of life it Is exactly tho same combination of Influences that bring about the downfall of dozens of young girls. They may be attractive. Every girl is attractive to ioma one. The advances are mado, discretion is armed by trips to the the
atre, midnight luncheons and gifts of varying value and almost before the victim Is aware of it, the fatal step
has been taken.
One tragedy Is as great as another,
but the world knows little of the poor girl's disgrace and seems to care less. The unwritten law should never becomo the written law but It does seem that the hand of Justice should rest heavily upon the man who as a pastime connives and schemes for the downfall
of Innocent girls.
An Insurance Thought. A email but interesting fact has been brought out in the quizzing by the state Into the affairs of the State
Life Insurance company at Indianap
olis. It relates merely to the paying out of about $3,000 of the pollovhold-
ers' money for certain "expenses" which it appears were Incurred In promoting the legal reserve law at the session of the legislature in 1899. The
officials of the company think that perhaps this money was employed In lob
bying, though the public will and no
doubt ought readily to understand that
there may be some possibility of mistake on this point. The matter is in
teresting as going to show that In In
diana as In other states, and in the In
diana State Life as In other insurance companies, there are many methods in
common. Fort Wayne Sentinel.

NEW YORK LETTER.
New York, Feb. 8. Early prices

quoted fractionally higher. This induced a stronger feeling here at the opening and prices were inclined to

slight gains at the opening with New York Central. Pp

ment, however, was not so pronounced
ly bullish as yesterday. On the con
trary, the buyers were Inclined to take
profits. The selling throughout the list all during the Session was better than
the buying. As a. ponsnnuenr.rt th op
ening prices were almost the highest of
the day. In the late afternoon when the call loan money market hardened rates for loans ruling as high as 5 per cent, a Belling wave appeared which brought about a slight depression
throughout the list and caused the
general market to close rather weak and irregular. The entire early gains were wiped out.
The buying which was so prominent
in Atchison yesterday was In evidence
again this morning. The same bull pool, composed of Berwynd and his fol
lowers were large buyers. The purchases caused a rally of a point In this security. Atchison, has undoubtedly been the strongest Individual stock on
the list. From the recent bear campaign when prices touched their low

WITH THEJSDITORS. Leaving the Theatre.
Have you ever tried to see the finish
of a Play? Have you ever tried to hear
the last spoken word of a particularly
good presentation. Couldn't do either, could you? And why? Because the
audience was in such a hurry to get away. Rather queer, too, all that rush as the curtain starts down. People
act as though they had to break and run for home or wherever they are
going, when as a matter of fact they
have plenty of time. The cars al
ways wait until everyone has left the
theatre, and carriages do tho same,
so why this uneasiness.
Peoiie begin putting on their wraps
and preparing to leave before the play
Is within a dozen or more sentences of Its conclusion, and the only result is
a creating of confusion. It often hap
pens that there are n few persons in a theatre audience who would like to
6ee and hear the finish. All such are Inconvenienced by those who are anxious to get away as soon as possible.
To speak In the parlance of the street a theatre audience seldom makes a
"clean get away because there are a
few ready to break and run." This 1
the condition in South Bend. The situation Isn't at all overdrawn and It is too bad that such Is the case. It Is
reality an Infringement on the right
of others.
For some peculiar reason people sel
dom show a like anxiety about ar
riving at the theatre. They come In slowly and leisurely, even though it Is past tho time for the performance
to begin. South Bend Tribune.
A bill for an act concerning tho
court's allowance for an attorney fee
when a mechanic or any employe re
covers wages due him for employ
ment, and repealing an laws in con
flict herewith.
Sec. 1. Be It enacted by the general
assembly of the State of Indiana, that
whenever a mechanic, artisan, miner, laborer or servant, or employe shall
have cause to bring suit for his or her
wages earned and due, and owing, ac
cording to the terms of the employ
ment, and he or she shall establish
by the decision of the court or jury,
that the amount for which he or she has brought suit, is justly due and owing, and that a demand has been mado in writing at least three days before suit is brought for a sum not
exceeding the amount so found due and
owing, than it shall be the duty of the
court before which the case shall be
tried, to allow to the plaintiff, when
the foregoing facts appear, a reason
able attorney fee. In addition to the amount found due and owing for wages, and in justice court such attorney's fee shall not be less than $5,
and In the circuit or superior court not less than $10, to be taxed as costs of such suit.
Sec. 2. All laws and parts of laws
in conflict with this are hereby re
pealed.

JESSIE LINCOLN'S ROMANCE Warren Beckwith on Jan. 31 filed in
the district court at Mount Pleasant, la., a suit for a divorce from his wife, Jessie Lincoln Beckwith, who is the daughter of Robert T. Lincoln, of Chicago, and therefore the grand-daughter of Abraham Lincoln. This is the clos

Thirteenth District Matter.
The statement that LaPorte county,
democratic by about 1,000, may be add
ed to this thirteenth district and that Starke, a republican county may be taken away and placed in the tenth district Is the ridiculous statement of
some newspaper reporter who depends upon the ignorance of his readers not
to discover the foolishness of such a report.
Indiana has proven herself to be a
safely republican state. When the next
readjustment Is made In congressional
districts It Is safe to predict that the
republicans will have that work in
charge. That being the case. It is not
likely that republicans will give the tenth, which is the strongest republican district in the state, a larger re
publican plurality, and at the Fame time give the democrats a gain of 1,300 votes in this closer thirteenth district. Wlnamao Republican.

The World's Volcanic Belts. There are two great belts on tha earth in, which either volcanoes are active or mountains are growing or in which the two phenomena are associated. These two belts follow great circles. One of theae passes through the West Indies, the Mediterranean sea, the Caucasus and Himalaya mountains, and is called by De Montessus the "Mediterranean" or "Alpine-Caucasus-Himalayan" belt. In thl3 belt 53 per cent, of all recorded earthquakes have occurred. The second
belt nearly encircles the Pacific, followins the Andes, the mountains of
western North America, the Aleutian
islands, Japan and the Philippines

CHICAGO LETTER.
Chicago. Feb. 8. WHEAT The bulls
had everything their own way In the wheat pit this morning. The May option scored a new high record, selling at 80. The news was extraordinarily bullish. Foreign markets were quoted
one-half a penny higher. The belief seems to be growing more general that
the Russian situation pertaining to their crop Is as bad as foreign houses have estimated it. A message from the northwest was quoted to the effect
that if the present cash demand continued as brisk as It had been yester
day and today their entire stocks of available wheat will be gone. This.
hswever, is regarded as more or less
of an exaggeration by the trade here.
The market closed fairly strong although it did not maintain the early high prices recorded. CORN This cereal did not sympathize with the enthusiasm prevalent in the wheat pit. On the contrary, the tone of the market was inclined to weakness. .A few of the large cash houses were sellers of both the May and July option. The former bull party who have been buyers from 43 cents up to the present time were also Inclined to realize a portion of their
profits, Jh&xagU situation. reznaLas ua-

I fell that the market is going to
show further Improvements. The only
thing to my mind to break Is renewed liquidation In some particular stock and If that breaks out again it would
break the whole market fractionally. SPADER.
London very quiet, fractionally lower on bids. A dull market is expected, with quotations generally steady. HESS. J. L. D.

W. E. Mick, who was the real estate
agent in the deal whereby the million dollar buildlnir
" v. 1 i,y mo insurance company, said that he npoke whereof he knew, lie was on the stand practically all afternoon, yesterday, and his evidence was very direct and very conclusive us to these two directors having received side gifts, which were paid ultimately out of the moneys of the policyholders of the State Life. At the close of the hearing, both Mr. Sweeney and Mr. Quinn denied that they had received the amounts that Mick said they had. TfMtlntony to the Point. The testimony that Mick gave was not involved. Stripped of Us vcrbositys, it was to the effect that the State Life, as a company paid the churchman heirs, former owners of the Stevenson building, the sum of $950,000 for the building the company now culls after its name. The money was paid out of the assets of the company I. e., the policyholders. Of this money tho Churchman heirs, six in all got J50.00O directly and J100.000 was to be accounted for. Of this latter amount, Mick said that Quinn and Sweeney told him Churchman gave them f 25,000 apiece. He, Mick, got $20,000 for himself and son. one of the Churchman got $10,000, and the remaining $20,000 went to pay some of
tne aeots or the Churchman estate.
In other words, according to the
witness' understanding, the building. Itself cost $870,000; Sweeney and Quinn
picked up $50,000; and tho other $30,000 was divided between one of the Church mans and the two Micks. Judging from the look on the face of W. S. Wynn, another of the Stato Life directors, thin was the first Information he had of the $50,000 transaction that occurred four years ago. It seems that he, one of tho directors, had not known all of this time that
two of his fellow directors, were alleged to havo taken $50,000 and put It in their pockets. He Pet there, intent on tho testimony, head bent forward, hand up to his ear, drinking in all of this that was presumably new to him. The story told by Mick recited how Sweeney and Quinn entered into a secret agreement with Mick, one unknown to Wynn, who did not want a real estate man to be a party to the purchase. In order to prevent Wynn from making negotiations direct, the two seemingly opposed the projected purchase with bitterness, and not till the plan was all ready did they fall In with Wynn's idea to purchase the building and then St was done through an agent.
Coffin Fail to f'onfuned Mlek. Charles F. Coffin, the general counsel for the State Life, was not mentioned as having any knowledge of the transactions either. It seemed that yesterday afternoon was the first he knew or heard this story, too. He made some feeble attempts to confuse Mick, but to little purpose; he was groping in the dark. There is some talk that the the stato auditor will demand the return of the $50,000 that Mick alleged had been diverted from the company. If the story is proven substantially as It was given, he will make this demand undoubtedly. Meantime he is not saying anything. Just keeping his ear close down to the ground of the investigation. For months, the state, which had some intimation that certain transactions should be explained, has been leading up to this point. Time after time something has come up to delay the game, but It look3 now as if the
alleged misdeeds would see the lignr. of day.

"Bud" Robinson, the Texas cowboy, has just left Hammond after a four
days' mission work in the Full Gospel mission house In Indiana avenue. During hi3 energetic work here "Bud" reclaimed seven backsliders, made eight conversions and pronounced eight more as sanctified. The probabilities are that Mr. and Mrs. Harris, thefounders of the mission, will
ask "Bud' to return again in a few months. Since its beginning 222 people have gone to the altar, according to a report from one of the mission officials. Of these 222 people eighty-four are professed conversionists, thirty-nine are
backsliders and ninety-nine are proteased eanctifieations. This number does not include forty children who have
