TTon. William Dudley Foulke of

this city, who has been living at Washington during the Roosevelt administration, will leave for Europe on the 5th of May. By request he prepared an interview for the Star League which was published Sunday. After reviewing the history of the Democratic party, he said: "Here, then, we must enter upon the broad field of Democratic possibilities. It is possible that the party will nominate Mr. Hearst, who stimulated through his yellow press that spirit of anarchy that led to the assassination of President McKinley. It is possible that the Democracy may seek to promote a tariff-for-revenue-only by the nomination of Senator Gorman, the man who prevented the adoption of such a tariff under the administration of Mr. Cleveland, or that it may seek to promote harmony on the nation by adopting the medieval appeals to race hatred by which Mr. Gorman won the late campaign in Maryland. "It is even possible that the reluctant sage of Princeton may be dragged forth to be the standard-bearer; that the man who is of all the most

satisfactory to Wall street should be chosen to lead in the struggle for the claims of organized labor and for the destruction of the trusts. It is even a possibility that the Democracy may thrust before "the people a comparison of Mr. Cleveland's record and that of Theodore Roosevelt upon these important issues. Even that luminous object-lesson may be before us. - "But it is still more possible that the Democratic party may choose for its standard-bearer a man without experience either in legislative or administrative business, of whose opinions upon any subject nothing is known; a man whose first name and postoffice address could not be given bv the enthusiastic admirer who

Only a Few Items Found There Today. William II. Kelley filed the suit of Raymond Liehtenfels vs. Josephine Lichtenfels, guardian of Cora, Frank, Julia and Peter Liehtenfels, on partition.

The boys were led by a particularly

daring member of the class and two of them had succeeded in reaching the interior of the building from the school yard, the other three lads were preparing to scale the wall and follow the example of the leader. It happened, however, that before the "campaign" was finished that the observing custodian of the building discovered the onerations and called

a halt. The janitor declared that he

first mistook the boys for thieves and armed himself with a club before investigating. The lads were all recognized by the janitor and when they arrived at the building for this morning's session of school were met with suspension notices in the hands of the principal, Miss Thompson. The lads will have to pay for their curiosity by a visit to Superintendent; Mott of the city schools, accompanied by their parents. The affair was the chief tonic of conversation among the small students of the building today.

HOSPITAL

Conducted by the Sisters of Charity

Partly Burned. St. Vincent's hospital at Indiana

polis caught fire yesterday morning

and a panic ensued. The hospital is conducted by the Sisters of Charity

and is a very popular charitable institution. The dense volume of smoke

pouring through the corridors caused a panic among sisters, nurses and inmates. Risking her life Sister Agnes jumped from the second floor of the hospital to sound the alarm of fire. Hearing the cry of "fire" from the few nurses and sisters in the rear of the large building she rushed to one of the windows of the second floor, threw it open and screamed for help. Seeing no one she lifted herself to the sill and jumped to the ground. The sister rushed into the fire headquarters just the the other side of the alley and finding no cue, pulled the box herself "-All the" firemen were "working n the ' Occidental -fire, As" soon as the box jhadmmr she went to the telephone ahd called np j&re headquaiv

Much Interest Manifested hy InterTowns, r Much interest in the Musical Festival is being shown by the towns along the interurban lines. A representative of the Festival Association has been placing advertising matter in these towns the past week, and present indications are that several large delegations will attend one or more of the concerts. New Castle, Fountain City, Hagerstown, Winchester, Lynn, Greenville, and other towns on the steam roads will be thoroughly advertised and canvassed this week, and it will not be the fault of the

Festival Association if4 it is not

known that Richmond is to have a musical festival. Beginning toomrorw evening, all rehearsals will be held in the Coliseum, enabling the chorus to become accustomed to the larger hall. In order to avoid possible speculation on the festival tickets, the directors are considering a new plan of selecting reserved seats at the time the plat opens on the 27th, and this plan will be announced in a few days, and it is believed much annoyance and dissatisfaction will be done away with.

AUT01R

One Piece-of Her Work Sent to St. Louis Exposition.

We have from time to-time noted the advancement of Miss Bessie Whitridge of this city in Keramic art work. She has gained a national reputation and her work . will be on exhibition at St. Louis. The Indianapolis News of Saturday, contained the following about Richmond's noted artists: Miss Bessie E. Whitridge, of Richmond, who is also claimed by the art

lovers of this city because of the times' she spends here, has returned from Ft. Wayne, where she spent the winter, and is working with Mrs. J. II. Orndorff in her studios in Central avenue. Miss Whitridge has recently begun painting on ivory, having met a Danish woman in Ft. Wayne, who is an adept in this branch of the

work, and from whom she took several lessons. Miss Whitridge 's first portrait on ivory is that of her sister, and aside from being an admirable likeness is an exquisite painting. The portrait is done in water colors, the ivory affording a particularly soft and effective surface for the flesh tints. Miss Whitridge is enthusiastic about this new field of art.

Miss Whitridge, who is a member

of the Indiana Keramic Association.

has sent one piece of her work to the St. Louis exposition. She has made a special study of the monk and has exhibited steins, tankards and panels at the different exhibits, with the monk "pictures. Her contribution to the art of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition is a panel, "In the Cloister," which shows the figure of a monk writing in a window. The subject and the entire arrangement of figure, lights and accessories are equal to Miss Whitridge 's best work. It is a credit to the association to which she belongs. Miss Whitridge, in addition to her natural ability as an artist, has had wide opportunity for study. She began in the Wilke Art School in Richmond, working with Otto Punsch. Later s!ie went abroad and entered

the studio in v lenna, where she learned figure painting with Hans Wagner. After spending several months in Vienna working industriously in the studio and seeing all the beatitiful art of that city, she went to Dresden, that famous city of keramic art, and studied flowers with Herr Lamm. Returning to America, she came to her own- home field to continue her work, doing a great deal of painting, and opening classes to teach all the branches which she had made her own,, across the water. Any one familiar with the work of the keramic artists of Indiana knows MiRs Whitridge 's work, for it is regarded as. the best in th.e state. There

are artists in china that are eontinu-. ally -studyirijp to approach her wprk.
