NUMBER 0FSAL00NS WILL BE CUT DOWN Brewing Companies Have .Decided Upon Important Action in Indiana. WHOLE STATE AFFECTED.

COMPANIES WILL NOT ONLY REDUCE EXPENSES BUT ALSO HOPE TO LESSEN THE $1,000 LICENSE AGITATION. Indianapolis, Aug. 21. The Indianapolis breweries and others which do a large business In the city and state, with the exception of the Capital City Brewing company, have decided not to open any more saloons for the next two years; also to close saloons which leople in the districts where they are located deem objectionable as soon as the licenses expire. It is estimated that 2,400 saloons will be closed in the state, including some seventy in this city. For the present the campaign will be confined to Indianapolis. This policy was decided upon at a meeting held in this city yesterday which was attended by Albert Lleber, representing the Indianapolis Brewing company; Crawford Fairbanks, representing the Terre Haute Brewing company and representatives from the American, Home Brewing company, Anheuser-Busch Brewing Association, the Schlitz, Pabst, Jung and other companies doing business In Indiana Step to Avert Agitation. First of all the brewing Interests pee a saving of $300,000 per year in the elimination of competition such as has marked the business In recent years; again, with fewer saloons and better regulated saloons It Is their be lief that there will be less agitation for a $1,000 license wnen the legisla ture convenes In 1909. 11 Gets Its Name From the Cutting, Net From the Stone. The trno nature of a cameo Is very tntirh misunderstood by the public gen erally. Most people- think it is the stone Itself, when in renllty the method, of cutting Is what produces the cameo. The real meaning of the word is un known, its derivation li:i-"Mg never been discovered; but. correctly speak ing, cameos arc small sculptures exe cuted in low relief on some substance previous fcher for its beauty, rarity or hardne . There are emerald cameos, turquoise cameos, shell cameos, coral cameos Indeed, any substance that lends Itself to carving In such minute detail can be used for cameo cutting, and nearly nil precious stones, except diamonds, have been so used for intaglios, but never for cameos. Emerald is the moat common precious stone from which cameos have been made, and there are some very fine emerald portrait camcos In existence, notably those of Queen Elizabeth In the British muse um. Shell cameo were first made In the fifteenth century. Bamled onyx Is generally used for cnmvo work because of Its hardness end coloring, and It is this fact that has caused the misapprehension, the stone being used so much in making cameos that it h:is now become better known as "cameo" than by its right name. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. ANIMAL TRAITS. rteminders In the Foal and the Calf of Their Wild Ancestors. It Is an interesting study to note in domestic animals the traits of their wild ancestors. There are some characteristics, of course, which are readily recognizable as being similar to those of animals still In a wild state, and for this reason they give a fair Idea of the life and surroundings of progenitors. The habits of the dog and cat are too familiar to comment on, but take the foal and compare his traits with those of the calf. The foal when a few days old can pallop as fast as he ever can In after life. He never leaves the dam and takes nourishment In small quantities, avoiding a full meal, which would impede swift escape. In lying down no attempt is made at concealment, and when he stands his head is held high. These habits show that the animal's ancestors spent their lives in the open and not in the forests and that they .were great travelers. The calf, on the contrary, fills him pelf with milk and is a poor traveler Vhn danger approaches his first iui rul?e Is to conceal himself. lie holds his head "low in order to look undei the branches of the forest. All his characteristics point to the fact that the ancestral home of cattle was in a moist, wooded country, while the primeval horse roamed the plains. Xondon Chronicle. A Chinese Solomon. Two Chinamen, brothers, well advanced in age, quarreled over a piece of land which they had Jointly inherited from their father and went to law. The native magistrate heard the test! mony on both sides and determined that both were wrong and both right, according to the different points of view. Therefore. Instead of rendering a Judgment in favor of either, he ordered that both be locked up In a cangue with their heads fastened face to face and kept there until they settled their quarrel. The cangue Is a sort of cage In which prisoners are placed with their necks locked into a hole in n board. It resembles somewhat the stocks which were used for the punishment of malefactors in olden times. When the brothers were placed In the cangue, they were both very stubborn and Indignant, but toward the end of the second day they began to weaken and on the third day reached a satisfactory settlement and were release-

TRIED TO HUG TWENTY GIBLSMS ARRESTED John Parkhouse Is in Trouble At Columbus.

FORMERLY WORKED HERE. John Parkhouse, for some weeks 'an employe in the Richmond hat factory, but who returned to his home in Columbus, O., last week, strayed from the straight and narrow, in that city, Tuesday. He went to the hat factory in which he was working, drunk. He immediately took a fancy to twenty young women working at the place and attempted to hug the entire lot. His advances were rebuffed but the attempt was all that was necessary to warrant the police taking a hand, and after doing so Parkhouse was given thirty days in the workhouse. WANTED THE GIBLETS. An Incident of Revolutionary Days In South Carolina. There are innumerable stories of Revolutionary days in Charleston. The old ladies ued to tell with glee how, when the British were supposed to be out of the way, the young fellows would come home to dance with them. .V message would go to the nearest cousins and friends and a supper be cooked. It might be only rice and bacon, but it was good to hungry men, declares Charleston's historian, Mrs. Ravenal. The dance and the feast would continue until the stars grew pale. Often these merrymakings were disturbed by the enemy, but there was a! ways a negro or two on the watch, and the harsh note of the screetch owl or the cry of the whippoorwill would give the alarm, then "partings in hot haste," a rush for the horses, a sharp scufHe, a hot pursuit and perhaps a prisoner taken. The young men had odd adventures. One young fellow betrayed himself by his appetite. He was pursued and bad taken shelter at Mrs. Motte's place, on South Santee. She rolled him up in a carpet and, pushing it against the wall, told him to keep quiet until the enemy had gone ard she could release him. Unluckily he heard through the open window h!s hostess giving directions to the cook about the chickens which were to be dressed for the dragoons' dinner. lie could not bear to be left out and thrust his head from Xhe carpet chrysalis and cried out, "Keep the giblets fcr me." The soldiers beard, and he was at once caught and carried oJT to repent at leisure of bis indiscretion. DOUGHERTY ISLAND. It Is the Most Rerrets and Desolate Cpct on Earth. Which is the loneliest, most desolate and most inaccessible island on the face of the globe? Many people would doubtless plump for one of the Crozets. in the south Atlantic ocean. And yet Hog island, the westernmost of the group, is by no means an undesirable place of residence, abounding as it does in hares and rabbits, penguins, albatrosses and sea elephants. Herd island, in the same seas, is far more isolated as well as more barren, but it possesses, as does Hog, a Bhelter hut for castaways, and it is visited by whalers occasionally. So, too, Is South Georgia, but it has no shelter hut, and as it Is right out of the track of shipping any one unlucky enough to be cast away thereon would stand a very poor chance of ever getting off alive. Bouvet island, in the same seas, Is visited even more rarely, and on the last occasion when a ship touched there five corpses were found frozen on the beach, grim mementos of some unrecorded tragedy of the sea. Possession Island, in its turn, is still lonelier and more Inhospitable than Bouvet. But probably the palm in this direction must be ascribed to Dougherty island, on which, so far as Is known, no landing has ever been effected. It has only been sighted twice in a century and is officially described in the admiralty sailing directions as "the most remote and isolated spot on earth." Pearson's Weekly. Eyes Keen For Colors. A young man who had made application for the position of clerk in the ailk department of a large store was questioned closely as to the exact shade of a great variety of samples shown him. "We do that," the superintendent explained, "to make sure that you are not color blind. A dry goods store is the one place where color blindness is a positive bar to efficiency.- Very often you hear of color blind workmen in all other branches of business. There are. It appears, even color blind engineers and color blind artists, but the big stores absolutely shut out men who have not a keen eye for all colors. New York Pot.

SPEEDILY FORGOT HIS PROMISEJO BE G000 Sam Mayfield Is Again Under Arrest for Theft.

NOW FOR REFORM SCHOOL. Sam Mayfield. colored, fifteen years of age, had a charge of petit larceny dismissed against him Tuesday morning in the Juvenile court on his promise to Judge Fox that he would be a good boy and never again get into trouble. Now Mayfield is again in the toils on another charge of petit larceny. Tuesday afternoon Mayfield stole a bicycle from in front of the Jones Hardware company's store on North E street and rode it to the river bottoms north of the Nixon paper mill. He hid the machine there. One of the men at the paper mill noticed Mayfield loitering about and he telephoned to police headquarters. Officer Little was sent to the river bottoms and he returned with the young thief and the stolen wheel. The owner of the wheel called for It later. Some time ago Mayfield opened the cash drawer at the Rolling barber shop, where he was employed, and took $1.80. In juvenile court Tuesday morning Mayfield confessed to stealing a dollar. After he had promised to reform Judge Fox told him to get out of town. He was told to go to the home of. his grandmother, who lives in Jeffersonville. It is thought that the lad stole the wheel to comply with the court's orders. Mayfield will in all probability now be sent to the Plainfield reform school, where he should have been for some time.

Doubtful Compliment. The compliments paid by the poor are often put In an amusing way. One old woman who was very fond of the rector said to Mr. P.ernays, "You know. sir. us likes the rector; 'is ears are so clean," surely an odd reason for parochial affection. Another admirer once declared with regard to the whole staff of clergy, "You are all so plain" a word of high commendation "but as for the vicar, 'e's beautiful." The greatest compliment, though at the same time the most curious, Mr. Bernays ever heard was paid by a worklngman to a certain bishop, famous for his simple kindliness, "What I likes 'bout the bishop is 'e's not a gentleman."
