OREIGNERS

Opinion on This Point Is Rendered by the Attorney General.

THERE WAS SOME DOUBT. FOR THIS REASON FOREIGN LABOR WAS DIVERTED AWAY FROM INDIANA, BUT WILL NOT BE HEREAFTER. Ai the resnlt of an opinion given by Junes Bingham, attorney-general, tie aureau of Immigration and naturalization at Washington, D. C, will send foreign laborers to Indiana whenever requests for t-uch laborers are made by mldents of this state. u the opinion of the attorney-general, which waa prepared by Edward M. White, asclstant attorney-general. It Is held that it la not unlawful for residents of Indiana to make contracts with foreign laborers In other states or to forward money for the transportation of such laborers to Indiana. It was held that auoh contracts are unlawful only when they are made previous to the time the foreigner becomes a resident of the United States. For some time the department at Washington has been diverting foreign labor away from Indiana because there was some doubt as to the provisions of the law in this state. The division of Immigration of the government bureau was established by an act of the last congress and Its purpose Is to father Information and to inquire Into conditions affecting immigrants in the different states with a view to a beneficial distribution of the foreign labor over the United States. Recently, T. V. Powderly, chief of the division, wrote to Charles F. Woerner, state labor commissioner, for information In regard to the laws of Indiana, Copies of certain sections of the Indiana law were forwarded, and, after this a letter came from P. A. Donahue, acting chief of the division, iisklng that a construction be placed on the law. In answer to this request the opinion of the attorney-general was forwarded. YPSILANTI. Nearly Four Hundred Ways of Spelling the Name, Curious postal officers in Michigan and Washington have been keeping for years past a record of the different ways Ypsilantl has been spelled on mail matters, and by comparing the notes they have preserved a list of veritable orthographic wonders has been compiled. This list easily establishes the claim that more different ways for spelling Ypsilantl have been devised than for spelling any other geographical name In America. In all no less than 372 distinct ways of spelling the name have been counted, and it la probable that the greater number, perhaps all. have been used in good faith by persona who actually believed that the orthographic combinations reproduced were the correct combinations for representing Ypsilantl on the written or printed page. Every letter In the alphabet except ft" has been need as the Initial letter of the name, though why so obvious combination as Rypsllantl should be neglected when others much less obvious have been employed Is difficult to explain. As a matter of fact the variations In the spelling are chiefly confined to the first syllable, "Y" being a letter lacking or having only an Indifferent standing In many foreign languages. Tipsy lantl and Zyp SUantl are met with, and among the spellings farthest away from the accepted and official standard are Whypsorlanter and Hipaaalandder. Chicago Inter Ocean. The Sawfish, Mom energetic than any other sharks re the sawfish, whose 6nouts are prolonged Into a broad blade of cartilage, which Is horliontal when the fish Is swimming In a normal position and has both Its edges set with slightly curved teeth about an Inch apart. The end of this formidable looking weapon Is blunt and comparatively soft so that It Is quite Incapable of the feats popularly attributed to it of piercing whales bodies, ships timbers, etc. It attacks other fish by a swift lateral thrust of the saw beneath them, the keen edge disemboweling them. Then It feeds upon the soft entrails, which are apparently the only food it can eat from the peculiar shape of Its month. It has an enormous number of small teeth, sometimes as many as fifty rows In one individual, but they are evidently unfit for the rough duties required of their teeth by the garbage eating members of the family. National Garden. There are two gardens of England namely. Kent and Worcestershire. That of Ireland Is usually said to be Carlow, in Lelnster. Italy and Belgium are both called the garden of Euroin;. while that of France Is Amboise. in the depnrtnieut of ludre-et-I.oire. The garden of Italj is Sicily and of Spain Andalusia In the east Ceylon ami Burma have both received the title, and the district of ludia so honored Is Oude. Gliimorgnnstiire is often spoken of ns the garden of south Wales. To the region west of our noble Mississippi the title "garden or the world" has leen given.

MUSIC. Francis Macmillen, the noted American violinist, who has gained the distinction of being perhaps the world's greatest master of the tiddle, and who will appear at the Gennett on Nov. r, has been exceptionally honored by royalty' and men of eminence. One of the latest favors that has been accorded him is the gift of an $.000 Stradivarius violin, it having been presented by Lady Palmer, wife of Sir Walter Palmer, a prominent member of Parliament, and she a leader in the smart set of London. It is seldom that one has the privilege of seeing and hearing an instrument so valuable. It will be interesting to local devotees of the violin to hear this valuable instrument and compare its tone qualities with that of the less expensive ones. It is not often the case that an oil portrait is of much value on the market until after the subject is dead. However such irf not the case with Mac-Milieu, for recently an oil portrait of the violinist by Maurice Wagemans. the Belgian artist, was t-old to tho Brussels National Art Gallery for 18,000 francs. Mr. Macmillen's debut in London is said to make an epoch in London musical history. Robin Legge, the English critic, writing in the Strand, says of him. "I believe that MacMillen will go farther and stay longer than any of the other violinists of the age because I believe he possesses in a higher degree the sublime quality of the right kind of genius: the genius which puts artistry at the top. and uses pyrotechnics only as a means to an end. and not as an end itself. Macmillen's career began at Marietta. O., when he was five years old. His first bid for fame was made when at US he captured the "first prize with the reatest distinction" and the Van Hal prize at the Brussels Royal conservatory. This is the only time these awards were ever given to an American. MacMillen's tour of ninetyeight concerts in America last season Is fresh in the memory of all music lovers. Francis MacMillen bears the reputation of having a left hand -which by reason of its peculiar form is said to be better adapted to playing the violin

than that of any other violinist of repute. This distinction is well merits as it is doubtful if anyone else has a hand that is apparently moulded to the neck of an in.- rument so perfectly as that of MacMillen. When te places hi3 long, flexible digits over the linger board of his Siradivarius they lit above the strings iu various positions like automatic hammers with broad cushion tips. This i3 accountable to the fact that MacMillen's general appearance is that of the ideal violinist. He is as typical of the fiddle virtuoso in one's dreams a3 Paganini or Sarasate. It is needless to say that with such a personality as this and above all with a left hand like MacMillen's there are no technical difficulties known to the violinist that he cannot perform without apparent effort. Such colossal works in matters of long reaches and almost impo3dlnle stretches to the average violinist, as are contained in Cesar Thomson's enormously difficult Passacaglia, Macmillen performs with the same clearness of tone he would be expected to display in a simple version of "Home, Sweet Home." In consequence of his superb left hand, he is never so much at home as when playing passages in "double stopping" or fingered octaves. He has also accomplished the feat of playing "fingered sixth's" perfectly in time. It is doubtful if this has ever been done by any other violin virtuoso, as its inception is said to have originated with MacMillen. As the fame and fortune of the virtuoso depend upon his hands, more than anything, MacMillen, of course, carries heavy insurance on them. The following program was rendered Saturday afternoon at the Starr p'ano music rooms by the pupils of M.ss Mammie Huff: (a) Marionettes K. Rhode (b) General Boom-Boom March Ed.

A vocal solo will be given by Miss Elizabeth Benfeldt, a flute and violin duet by Mr. Wilbur Hasemeier aud Mr. Clifford Piehl and piano solo by Mias Elizabeth Hasemeier. Other numbers by members of the society will also be given. Mr. Paul Comstock will sing at St. Paul's Episcopal church this morning, the composition, "Incline Thine Ear," by Himniel. j. Miss Josephine Cates win sing "Angels Ever Bright and Fair," by Handel , at St. Paul's Episcopal church this morning. 4 Jan Kubelik, world renowned violinist, has arrived in this country for a series of recitals to be given in the larger cities. His hands are said to be the most valuable of any on record. He carries an insurance of $83,000 on them. 4 4 Miss Laura Gaston, organist at Reid Memorial United Presbyterian church, has not only gained prominence as a pianist in the state, but she is fast attaining eminence as an organist, and with the opportunity the massive organ at Reid church affords, Miss Gaston has privileges that few organists are accorded. Her organ numbers are of the best that the field of organ compositions afford. The numbers for today are: Morning. Prelude, Meditation Bach-Gounod Offertory'. Andante d'Evry Postlude Allegro from D Minor Sonate Gullmant Evening. Prelude Lamentation Gullmant Offertory Improvisation . .Jadassohn Postlude Hosannah Dubois

The Modern Test. The full dress life wanes In this country. Those who came before us and had the uecessary disposition and meaus, iu their manners, couversatloo and dress, led. from birth to death, this full dress life, and even in their last moments endeavored to close the term of their existence with full dress behavior and a full dress epigram.; The notes or restraint dignity and effort iu this direction are seldom sounded now In England. It Is all noise, dirt and speed today here. Nothing is of consequence but cash. "What will : he be worth?" is asked at the birth of a child, "What is he worth?" when he is a man and "What was be worth?" when he is no more. London Truth. PALLADIUM WANT ADS PAY.

RUBBERLESS WHEEL IS OESICNEOJOe AUKS Russian Has Invented Marvelous Contrivance. VERY CHEAP AND SIMPLE. Berlin, Nov. 1C.- Boris Loutzky, the ce.ebrated Russian engineer, who is credited with the invention of an original automobile motor, has perfected a marvelous wheel which is designed to da away entirely with rubber tires for all sorts of motor vehicles. M. Ixmtzky, who lives in Berlin, has sold the rights in his new wheel to a powerful group of aristocratic German capitalists, headed by Prince Max zu-Hoheulohe-Oehringen, and Prince von Furstenberg. i Almost Permanent Durability. They are persuaded that its cheapness and simplicity, and above all, its practically permanent durability, are destined to work a revolution in the automobile Industry, which manifests signs of a decided slump. From all over the world come accounts of the inordinate cost of maintaining cars, notably concerning pneumatic tire renewals. M. Loutzky's invention is built of steel and wood. The wheel consists really of a wheel within a wheel. The tire or outer rim is entirely independent of the inner wheel, which protrudes on either side around the hub, forming projections on which the weight of the car rests, no matter how rough or uneven the surface of a given roadway. A SWORDFISH DUEL. Two of the Monsters In a Vicious and Deadly Battle. The big swordfish had reached the blue waters of the ocean when without warning a blue backed torpedolike body shot out of the depths, coming at it like an arrow. ! The swordflsh tipped intuitively, and a sword grazed Its head as a big. thickset member of Its own family , swept through the waters above It The two fish turned and came at each other like mad bulls. Again by some miracle they missed. Just grazing one another, to whirl about and begin the circling play for time and opportunity. Then, like flashes of light they turned and came on with a strnnge whistling sound and a compact that tossed the white churned spume high In the air came together as only bodies weighing 200 or 300 pounds can when Impelled by animate vibrant engines of unknown power came together aud remained there, whirling, tossing tails In air. rolling over and over The long slender fish had pierced the other, and the terrific efforts on the part of the fish were to unsheath the sword, which was only accomplished after a struggle for several minutes. Then both fishes shot away, then again came together, giving mighty side blows, and then out of the red stained water one broke and fled. The writer found the largest of these fishes a fe-ta days later ou the sand, where It bad been washed or thrown bj the waves. Four or fire deep wounds marked the body. In one rush the sword had entered the eye. coming out at the gills: another cut a furrow along the top of the head, another still bad entered slightly from lelow. but the real cause for defeat was evident In its sword, which was splintered and broken against Its enemy - -vreation. The Truth Anyway. A teacher in a tenement district hurried from the school to find the mother of a pupil who had been taken quite ill. "Can yon show me where Mrs. An gelo Scandale lives?" she Inquired of a cherub transplanted from the sunny south to a dark, sunless alley. "Yes. teach. I show you." and a willing, sticky hand dragged her on with such speed as to make her stumble over an Italian dame seated on the threshold. After the teacher's breathless eight toward the clouds the little hand stopped tugging. "There where Mees Scandale live," indicated the horizontal arm and finger, "but she downetair sitting on the step," flniiheS the smiling lips. Harxsr's Msgsinj.

The Tall, Fat Legged. Small Eyed KiroJ the Best Pupils. On a number of points all elephant trainers agree, says Appletou's Magzine. These are. first, that the tall, fat legged, small eyed elephaut of big girth is not only the handsomest but also the most docile and Intelligent of his kind: second, that an elephant is fully aware of his prodigious strength compared with man's and that the reason an elephant obeys his master Is not because he Is afraid of him. but because he has an affection for him; third, you may beat a bad elephant to death or kill him by ramming red hot irons down his throat in an effort to press the "squeal of surreuder" out of him. but the one and only way to train an elephant to perforin tricks Is through kindness and puttouce intending; last, but net least, without exception the Intelligence of the elephant far exceeds that of any other animal. Elephant tralaers maintain that training an elephant to perform is like teaching a boy circus riding, only less difficult. A number of the simpler tricks with which an elephant entertains his audience come as natural to him as the lapping of milk comes to a cat for Instance, the blowing of the mouth harmonica. Twenty feet to the right or to the left of the candidate to be taught to lie down four heavy stakes are driven Into the ground, and from each of these runs a block nnd tackle connecting with each leg and manned by ten or a dozen men. When all Is ready the trainer stands In front of the animal, raises his book and "Down! Down!" he orders. The elephant pays no attention. He stands waving his trunk and swaying his lody from side to side. "Dowul Down!" shouts the trainer again, and upon a signal some forty men begin to heave and tug. the blocks squeak, the ropes creak, nnd while the trainer continues shouting his command the pachyderm's leg- begin to be drawn from under hirn. With a scalp raising trumpet, the startled creature begins to struggle, lashing with his trunk from sid" to side and groping with its tip against the floor, frantically seeking for a hold to steady himself, but the relentless ropes continue to draw his legs. The huge beast leans at a forbidding angle, bellowing like a herd of steers and drowning the "Down! Down!" of the trainer T!.e great lody begins t totter For :n In ;.ut It regains Its ?alau(c: t'.;eu it f.i is. rra-!i lug with a dull thud on to tbe bed of straw. Tnun; eting like tin -screech out of a cracked steam -a!"i je. the brute tries vainly to strugjr'.e to his feet, until at the end of three or four minutes he begins to realize that nothing so very startling has happened and thnt really he ought to feel very comfortable Indeed. To teach him to stand on his hend the trainer again uses the block nnd tackle. To forestall the effects of a bad fall the floor of the training stable Is thickly littered with straw. Then the candidate is harnessed with chains and the bellyband and block and tackle as he was when learning to rear, the difference being that the chains from under the belly lead between the hind instead of between the forelegs, so tbat the hindquarters instead of the foreQuarters may be raised.

WESTDN OA! AND NIGHT AHEAD OF HIS REC0F.D Tries in Day to Walk One Hundred Miles. CLEVELAND LAST NIGHT. Cleveland, November 16 Straining every nerve to reach Cleveland by nightfall, Edward Payson Weston, famous pedestrian, reached Conneaut, O., at 9 a. m. today. He ate breakfast aud started toward Ash iula, cheered through the streets b 'z crowds. He had left Erie. Pa., ac midnight. At daylight hu was near the Ohio line and was moving fast, tho road being in better condition than any of which he passed in New York. "I'll make Cleveland today." was the romise he made at Erie, as he huried away after only three hours sleep. The d'stance from Er'e to Cleveland is 100 m'les. The pedestrian had 70 ! miles left for his day's work when he left Conneaut. Weston is now a day ahead of the sched ile of his 1,200 mile walk from Portland. Maine to Chicago, and 24 hours ahead of the record he made as a youth, forty years ago. - KILLED BY AN ACCIDENTAL FALL Hamilton, O.. Nov. 16.- Frederick Bentel, one of the founders of the Pentel Marked comrany, manufacturers of wood working machinery, was killed last nieht by a fall down a f'.ight of stairs leading Into his cellar. Mr. Pentel started to look after his furnace and slipped and fell. He grasped a doorknob, but it pulled out and he plunged headlong to the bottom. His skull was fractured and he died a few hours later, without regaining consciousness. He was eixtyeix years old. His sons are well known in business circles. A Wasp Nurse. A story y,t how one wasp cared for another that bad been Injured Is told by a gentleman who. while reading the newspaper, felt bothered by the buzzing of a wasp about his head and knocked It down It fell through the open window and lay on the !!! as if dead. A few seconds afterward, to his great surprise, a large wap flew to the window sill and. after boning around his wounded brotber for a few minutes, began to feel h!rn all over. The In.lured wasp seemed to revive under this treatment, and his friend then dragged him gently to the edge, g-asped him around the body and flew away with blm. It was plain that the stronger, finding a wounded comrade, gave him aid as well as he could and then bore h!m away home. London M. A. P Cup Plates.

JURY STILL OUT IN THE DECKER ACTION Had Not Reached a Decision Late Saturday Night. A SMALL SUM INVOLVED. The damage suit of John Decker against the Richmond Street and luterurban Railway company and the Indiana &. Eastern Traction company went to the Jury Saturday afternoon and they were, still out late Saturday night. The plaintiff asked for fl50 damages for the killing of a horse by ono of the company's cars while enroute from Centerville to Richmond, The horse was in charge of a man named Brokamp and ca the car approached, the animal became frightened and backed onto the track. The evidence showed that Brokamp waa intoxicated at the time and unable to manage the horse. Judge Fox in his Instructions to th jury stated that a motorman operating a car upon a public highway is not obliged to stop his car because a horse becomes frightened, unless it i apparent to him that the person In charge cannot manage the animal. If this fact Is apparent it Is his duty to slow down and even come to a stand, and assist the rider or driver of the frightened animal. HUNDRED MILLION IN A VAULT. New York, Nov. 16 John D.
