Senator Brady's Measure Provides That "All Saloons Shall Be Considered as Public Nuisances. STIFF PENAL CLAUSE IS PROVIDED IN BILL Another Liquor Measure in Senate Provides for Appointment of Committee to 4 Investigate Drunkards. . " Palladium Bureau, '. Indianapolis, Feb. 25 Senator Brady introduced in the flAnatA VARtnrHnv hill to ' nrnvide

- ---- that every place maintained for , the sale of Intoxicating: liquor as a beverage shall be declared a nuisance. The bill is in line with the decision of Judge Artman, while he was on the bench' at Lebanon. Artman is now a law partner of J, Frank Hanly, in this city. Judge Artman held that a saloon was a nuisance per se. The bill introduced by Senator Brady, was prepared by Robert Denny, of Westfleld, and fa Indorsed by the Prohibition party of the State. The same bill is to be Introduced in the House by Representative Sicks. A copy of the measure follows: The Penal Clause. Section 1, Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, that every building, structure or. place .Erected, used or maintained for the sale or barter of intoxicating liquors to be used for beverage purposes, shall be deemed a public nuisance ; and that whoever erects, uses or maintains any building, structure or place for the sale or barter of intoxicating liquors to be used for beverage purposes shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor : more than five hundred dollars, and upon every subsequent conviction for such an offense shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five - hundred dollars to which may be added Imprisonment in the county jail : not less than thirty days nor -more than one year. -' ' ' To .Investigate Drunkards. Senator Bowser introduced a bill in the Senate and Representative Wells Introduced the same bill in the House to have the Governor appoint a commission of five members, two of whom shall be physicians, to make a general study of the problems connected with . Inebriety and drunkenness and to report at the next session of the Legislature. The purpose of the bill is to ascertain whether or not the state would be justified in establishing a state Institution for the treatment of inebriates if the effort to -reclaim them from the drink habit. This has been a pet idea of Senator Bowser for several years, and when he was here two years ago he brought out the plan but did not push it. .This time he says, he will seek to have the - plan adopted. 5

CAUGHT THc BISHOP, One Surprise That Was th. Forerun : n.r of Another.' That was a good, old comedy bis ho? 'who one fine day entered a large jeweler's establishment In Regent street, London, to make an extensive purchase of valuable presents. He selected them with great care as regards their artistic value, but quite regardless, of cost. The proprietor and his assistants buzzed round his lordship. The selected valuables were packed In separate parcels nt his suggestion, neatly tied and scaled, and he bad just taken a seat in the private office of the proprietor and was feeling In bis pocket for his cheek book when two men, who had been peering in at the glass door leading to the street, walked up the hep and stood behind ' the bishop. They were plainly dressed, sharp looking men and thus bluntly addressed the jeweler: "What has this man been ordering?" The bishop looked up, saw the men, turned pale, clutched the sides of the chair, dropped his glasses and locked as If be would bolt; Before he could stir, however, the handcuffs were on his wrists. : - "Bishop, ' indeed!" said one of the men. "He was a colonel yesterday. Here, .'bishop, come along to Vine street 'Bishop. Indeed! Ha, ha! Well, that's a good unr 4 And, turning to the aatonlshed jeweler, he con

tinued: "Inst copped him in time, sir;

might get one of your . assistants to bring- round those parcels he has selected. We must enter them at the police station. We have a cab at the door. We hare" been tracking the

all three got in as the assistant came

New York, Feb. 25. Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt Sr. has given $1,000,000 for the building of sanitary tenement houses for persons afflicted with tuberculosis, according to an announcement made. Mrs. .Vanderbilt bought the ground for the buildings last week and construction will be started in a few weeks. Four tenements will be built. The site secured is between Avenues A and B on Seventy-seventh and Seventy-eighth streets and comprises eighteen building lots. Part of Relief Work. Information of Mrs. Vanderbilfs gift came from Dr. Henry L. Shively, head of the tuberculosis clinic of the Presbyterian hospital. Dr. Shively has been in charge of the relief work among tuberculosis sufferers carried on by Mrs. Vanderbilt. The houses will be built according to suggestions made by Dr. Shively, and the plans have been drawn by

John Atterbury Smith, the architect.

Each building will be six stories high and they will have roof gardens and balconie3 and other features helpful

to consumptives.

The property acquired for the tenements is bounded on one side by a public school and on the other by the

John Jay Park, which assures plenty of air for the tenants.

Dr. Shively said that it was hoped

to complete the buildings in six months.

"The primary object in erecting

them," he said, "is to demonstrate

that sanitary and healthful tenements can be put up and a profitable investment made of them. The rents for

apartments in the tenements will be as kw as the cheap homes, on the

East Side, but we believe that they

will pay just the same.

"So many persons suffering from tu

berculosis are in need of the surround

ings that the sanitary tenements will provide that I believe they will be filled two days after they are opened.

"There will be no dark and stuffy

hals. Every apartment will open directly on an outside staircase leading to a court."

Dr. Shively said that apartments in

the buildings would be rented through

the tuberculosis clinic of the Presby

terian Hospital.

PRESENTIMENTS. Incidents In Which Coming Events Cast Thoir Shadows Before. Coming events cast their shadows before them. The writer is led to believe this because several Incidents In the lives of his 'parents corroborate the theory that presentiments of good and evil do come to persons unawares. I will mention two of them. In the summer of 187 my father late at night was returning to his farm from the little town 'of Malton. He had stayed unusually late. When he reached the farm all was quiet Removing the harness from his horse, he proceeded to the carriage house and hung It In its place. He came out and closed the door. As he did so he heard the harness fall. It was very dark. He went back Into the house and found the harness still hanging In Its place. The same occurrence took place again. He went back again and found it in its place. When the third time he heard the sound of falling harness he did not go back. Several weeks later his barn burned, and it happened that the same harness was in the barn loft, a valuable set.' He attempted to save it . The staircase burned behind him, and he was compelled to jump for his life from a window. His previous experience came to him vividly. He saved the harness, but at the risk of bis life. Another vivid incident I recall was my mother sitting by the fire with a sick baby. The nurse was present, too, and both were wide awake.' Her father appeared to her and advised her as to the baby's treatment and other family matters. He vanished as quickly as he had come. The next day she heard of his death. London Tit-Bits.

Result in Howard and Grant Counties Made Some of Liberal Legislators Sit Up And Take Notice.

Palladium Bureau, Indianapolis, Feb.. 25. Senator Beveridge is to address the senate and house in joint session this afternoon and W. J. Bryan is to speak lo the two houses tomorrow afternoon while he is in the city to-deliver a lecture in the evening. The results of the local option electrons in the five counties on Tuesday, all going dry, fell with a dull thud on the legislature where the Tomlinson bill to repeal the county option law is pending. The liberals had expected Howard and Grant counties at least to go wet, but ' when these two joined the dry column by large majorities it made some of the senators sit up and look around. ' And the fact that Adams county, one of the two counties represented by Senator Steve Fleming went dry, was taken as a jolt for Fleming. The election results have made s the final result of the repeal fight more doubtful than ever. McCarty Still Out. It was said a few days ago that the liberals had lined up Senator McCarty, democrat, with, his party, and that he would vote to repeal the law, but yesterday he gave out a statement that showed that he is still In favor of retaining the law and will remain firm in that position. He said: "This is not a party matter. There are as many democrats as republicans opposed to the repeal of this law. The breweries and saloon men have no right to commit the democratic party to their cause. I do not propose to be a mere puppet of a party machine to stand here and there according to commandagainst conscience, right and the moral forces of this state. Calls It Good Law. "There is nothing in the democratic platform to require us to repeal a good temperance law on the statute books in order for us to carry out the declarations embodied in our platform." In the house yesterday the Grieger bill was passed authorizing the board of trustees of the state prison at Michigan City to make contracts for prison labor for ten years from the time the present contracts expire in 1910.

THE CONCIERGE.' w Tyrant Rule of the Autocrat of the , Parisian Plat House. The "concierge" Is -considered to be the bane of the Parisian fiat dweller's existence. His. functions are supposed to be the following: . The first and most Important is to collect the rent on quarter day; after that he must see that the tenants do not surreptitiously remove. The latter "precaution seems to be somewhat unnecessary, as rents In Paris are always paid In advance. He should also bring up your letters1 at least twice a day, but as the concierge Is generally a stout middle aged woman who has a decided objection to climbing stairs the latter regulation remains somewhat of a dead letter. In Paris the front door of most houses Is generally closed at 10 o'clock. After that time admittance can only be obtained by ringing a bell. The concierge is obliged to open the door, and she does this, as soon as she is awake, by pulling a rope which hangs by her bedside. If she is a sound sleeper and you are accustomed, to come home late at night the beat thing to do Is to look for another flat as the concierge will put you down as a "bad tenant" and make things as unpleasant for you as possible. If you never stop out late at night, receive very few friends and fee her heawily at Christmas, ; the concierge will consider you as a "good tenant" until you give notice to leave, when her Interest in you suddenly vanishes. As there is nothing more to be expected from you and the incoming tenant Is obliged to give a substantial tip, called a "denier a Dieu," she Is anxious to "speed the parting guest as much as possible. The concierge does sometimes make a final effort to extract something more from yon by attempting to make you pay a franc for every naU knocked In the walls of your flat but this has been decided to be Illegal and may be safely resisted. . ; ' But the Parisian concierge is really unpopular because she represents a landlord.

Eighty-five Filipino, musicians aroused an audience at Orchestra hall last

comprised the Philippine Constabulary mand, which is en route to Washing

ton to take part in the inaugural celebration next week. The music of the diminutive brown men found 'favor from the beginning of the program, but they made thelf big hit when they swung Into the familiar national melodies of the adopt

ed fatherland. "The Star Spangled Banner." "Yankee Doodle.' Dixie," and "Three Cheers for the Red, White and Blue" were all "applauded to the echo. . The band, which first appeared in America at the time of the St. Louis Exposition, was organized while President-elect Taft was governor of the Philippines, and it is at his Invitation that the musicians are making this trip to Washington.

Two young ladies boarded a crowded street car and were obliged to stand. One of them to steady herself took hold of what she supposed was her friend's hand. They had stood thus for some time when on looking down she discovered that she was holding a man's hand. Greatly embarrassed, she exclaimed, "Ob, I've got the wrong handr Whereupon the man, with a smile, stretched forth his other hand, saying, "Here is the other one, madam." Ladles' Home Journal.
