MILES' MAHLER

unii Ml! Famous Barytone Who Anoeared Here Failed to Make Money on Trip. MAD MUCH BAD WEATHER GINGER GOT HIS MONEY, "RAIN OR SHINE," BUT PROF. EDWARD TAYLOR OF INDIANAPOLIS WAS NOT SO FORTUNATE. Indianapolis, Jan. 23, (Spl.) A vicof circumstances which brought Jm to financial disaster after two week,B experience as manager for iwllym Miles, a New York barytone, rof. Edward Taylor, tenor, vocal intructor and. .Chorus director, was f orcJ to file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy in the federal court today. Mr. Taylor's difficulty followed a series of rnagements he arranged for Mr. .liles a month ago, which included Tiichmond, Terre Haute, Muncle, Anlerson, Indianapolis and other Indiana Jttes, and which was seriously interfered with by rains and counter attractions. When ttw, engagement was first nade between the musicians, after Mr. Miles had scored several successes in Indianapolis, an Ironclad pro vision was made that the barytone was to be paid for each night he sang In spite of any Interference. Relying on the barytone's reputation as a drawing card, Mr. Taylor advertised heavily, and in the course of his preparations jtaatracted something over 12,000 in McBts. 'Mr. Miles was to sing tenjaights In cities where it was expected that the seat sales would be heavy, and his manager entered into the agreement with no fear of financial embarrassment. Followed by Bed Weather. On the first night '-. Miles sang there came a terrib! The same thing, happened tir.

There was not even enough money remaining to pay hall rent or transportation, but Mr. Taylor managed to bridge over on personal loans, hoping that the. deficiency would be made up by later concert.. The sertes closed as unfortunately as it befcan and the vocal instructor was left with the bag to hold. Mr. Taylor gives hi3 . liabilities as $2,280.64. His assets amount to $984, a large part of which is exempt from the ttaim of creditors. More Than Sixty Creditor?:. The creditors number more than sixty persons, among them being several prominent Indianapolis business men and music patrons who advanced personal loans to Mr. Taylor. In the Ii3t of debts are items for auditorium rent in Indianapolis, Greencastle and Muncle, printing, costumes, transportation, advertising and many personal loans. The assets include practically nothing tangible. When Mr. Taylor was asked about the petition he said that he was a victim of the weather and other circumstances and that he was helpless. He declared that there could have been no more unfortunate series of circumstances than that which followed him and his tenor through Indiana piling Bp debts. Germany's Chill.

That the vaudeville bill at the New Phillips has caught on is evident from the way the house has been filled all the week. It certainly is a good show, and everyone who attends enjoys it. Cora Beach Turner and Co., in their one act dramatic playlette, "Mr. Bluffer Bluffed," is especially fine, and every lover of refined dramatic work should see It. The balance of the performance is up to the usual standard and can not fail to please every one who attends. ."Nobody's Claim" Gennett. In the wilds of Yellowstone, when the only law to punish crime and enforce order, was the rope or the rifle away out there on the borders of civilization are laid the scenes of Holden Bros, great melo-drama "Nobody's Claim". The scenery which truthfully depicts the land of the setting sun. is beautiful beyond description, and the mechanical effects, consisting of a rapidly passing express train, and the realistic burning of an old mill are the most costly and effective to be produced. This production will be put on at the Gennett this afternoon and evening. CANCELS ITS ENGAGEMENT "The Light Eternal" Changes Route And Will Not Appear at the Gennett Friday Night. "The Light Eternal" the religious drama which was to have been presented in this city Friday evening with Edyth Chapman and James Neill in the title roles, will not show in Richmond as scheduled. Manager Swisher received a brief telegram from the manager of . the company yesterday stating that the company had changed its route and therefore could not make Richmond. No further explanations were given Mr. Swisher and he is much dissapointed as the play promised to draw one of the largest houses of the year. The plat for the show was placed on sale yesterday morning at the Wescott pharmacy and from the number of early calls made for tickets, the manager had good reasons to think that the S. R.

RMLROMHMPIY Officials of Great Northern Restrained from Increasing Stock. VICTORY FOR THE STATE CORPORATION COMES OUT SECOND BEST IN ITS CONTENTION THAT LAW CREATING COMMISSION WAS UNCONSTITUTIONAL. If ublishers' rTess.5 bz. Fat... ... .-.. Judge Oscar Hallam signed an order enjoining officials of the Great Northern Railway company from making the proposed increase of $60,000,000 additional stock, or issue the same, or any part thereof, during the pending litigation, without first making an application in writing therefor to the Minnesota railroad and warehouse commission and securing its approval thereof, a3 provided by the revised laws of 190o of the state of Minnesota. This is a victory for the state of Minnesota in the action brought last month by the attorney general, Mr. Young, and his assistant, R. A. Stone, to compel the railroad to recognize the state railroad and warehouse commission before issuing the stock, as the laws provide that before a railroad can issue an increase of its capital stock it must make application to the state railway and warehouse commission and make a showing of the necessity for such an issue. The Great Northern railroad claim ed under its original charter it could issue stock at will, and that the law granting this power to the railway and warehouse commission was unconstitutional. The court holds that is not the caseHORSEFLESH AS" FOOl It Is Clieap and Is Rapidly Growing . In Fafor In Europe. . In Belgium. as in other European countries, the sale of horseflesh is becoming a recognized branch of the butchering business, according to Con sul McNally of Liege. Scattered through Liege are many shops selling horse meat exclusively, a horse head at tached to the front of the shop or , a sign Indicating the business within While it Is not forbidden for a meat market to handle both beef and horse meat, it Is quite unusual to do so, dealers carrying their separate lines. When the meat is dressed and exposed for sale the only noticeable difference is in the color, which is of a deeper fed and has a coarser fiber than the beef. Those accustomed to eating horseflesh are loud in its praise and declare it to be as palatable as beef and that many persons eat horseflesh under the impression that they are eating beef. There is no doubt that horseflesh is growing in favor. It sells for about half the price of beef or mutton. The dealers In horse-meat are most active in proclaiming the prime quality of their article, and a campaign of per suasion is now on. They contend that the horse in ancient times was held in high esteem; that the eating of horseflesh was common before the eighth century and that in China the horse has been eaten for 600 years. The first European people openly practicing hippophagy were those of Denmark in 1807, when Napoleon Invaded that country. The Germans also attribute that practice in their country to the same person during the wars of 1815. at which time the food supply was very low. The first hippophagic slaughter house was created in Prussia in 1847, also a year of great famine. In Belgium the eating of horseflesh dates back to 1870, from which time it has been increasing steadily. In Liege many colts are slaughtered for sale as well as young horses. The animal undergoes the same rigid inspection given to beef, mutton or pork. The number of horses and colts slaughtered for Liege in 1904 was 1.287, and it is estimated at 2.000 head for 1905. The choice cuts of horse meat sell for about 20 cents a pound, while the beef commands about 35 cents. Jews In the Senate. Simon Guggenheim will be the sixth Tew to sit as a member in the United States senate. The first Jew chosen to that honor was David Yulee. who represented Florida from March, 1840, to March. 1853. He was born in the West Indies, and his name was David Levy, by which he was known when he was elected as a member of the house of representatives in 1S41. The second Jew in the senate was Judnh P.

ANXIOUSLY AWAIT FAVORABLE ACTION Postal Clerks and Carriers Want Congress to Give Them Raise in Salary. POSTMASTERS WITH THEM IT IS SAID THAT MANY OF THE OLDER AND STRICTLY FIRST CLASS MEN ARE LEAVING THE SERVICE ON ACCOUNT OF PAY. Richmond mall men are greatly. In terested in the present didos being cut in the national house of representatives and particularly so in the appropriation, which will probably be made for the increase in the salaries of pos tal clerks and carriers. The raise .In the salaries will involve millions of dollars expense each year to the gov ernment, but Uncle Sam's mail service is bordering upon a famine of strictly first-class men as all the older men are leavinig the service, owing to the small financial reimbursement for their labors. The postal clerks and carriers of the country are making a strenuous effort to get an in crease In salary and are backed in their efforts by the postmasters. Postmaster Spekenhier said yesterday that at the last convention of the first class postmasters, held in St. Louis, resolutions favoring an increase In the salaries of the clerks and carriers was drawn up and a copy forwarded to the national house of representatives. The postmasters are of the opinion that the increase In sal ary will help keep the old and effi cient men In the service and a higher grade of new men will then be induced to enter, where at the present time many men who would otherwise take up postal work, drift Into other fields of employment. The salaries of postal clerks in postoffices range between 600 and $1,000, which is considered very low for the amount of responsibility and work which falty upon them. The railway mail clerks, who are also fighting for an increase in their salaries, are earning between $800 and $1,500. The mail carriers receive but $S40 per year, although they are required to wear the best of clothes the year round, and are put to other numerous expenses.Whether the national law makers grant the appropriation to the postoffice department depends largely upon the pressure brought to bear upon them, and the clerks, carriers and postmasters are doing everything within their power to influence public opinion to such an extent that those per sons sending statesmen to Washington, will bring direct pressure upon their congressmen for the increase.
