Jt Is Proposed to Have Law Passed Making It Unlawful To Ship Booze From Wet to Dry County.
Indianapolis, Aug. 10. Some time Ago there was under consideration by the state officials of the anti-saloon league a plan to bring to Indianapolis number of the best workers in the cause from the various parts of the etate, irTorder to add to the strength of the stale organization at the headquarters.". It was believed that by concentrating the forces in such a manner better results could be obtained than by the present method of maintaining separate workers in ail parts of the state. It was believed that the workers would thus become assistants
to each other, and that there would be a multiplicity of counsel that would be of great value. Have Quite a List. Just who among the workers it was proposed to bring to Indianapolis has Hever been stated, but it is said that quite a list was made. But the plan Jias been dropped, and the work will go right ahead just as it has been going in the past, each district and each county working for itself, all however, tinder the central Jurisdiction and supervision of the state organization. The, anti-saloon league has much on Its hands just now. The fact that so many of the counties of the state have
become dry by remonstrance or local option election has not caused the league to let up on its crusade for a
moment. True, the hot summer weath
er has caused a let down in the strenu
us effort that was being, made some
months ago, but nevertheless the league is keeping its eye open and matching the progress of affairs in the various corners of the state. The great problem now is how successfully
to cope with the blind tigers that have sprung iitn In nearly all of the dry counties. And it is for "this reason that the league has called a conference In this city in October of the temperance forces of the state. The conference will not be strictly an anti-saloon conference, but it will go further and pay particular attention to the blind .tiger and how to get rid of it. The league expects the conference to be attended by representatives of all
f the i temperance elements of the State including the prohibitionists. While the date for this conference has not yet been definitely settled it is known that it will be held in October. Many Blind Tigers. It is belived that if this blind tiger menace had not grown to such proportions throughout the state, the plan considered of bringing many of the workers from over the 6tate to this city for organized effort would have been carried out, but the blind tiger, especially in the form of social clubs, has become so numerous that the state officers of the leasue decided it would be best $p keep the local workers in their own counties to get after the clubs.
Thesesocial clubs, which are being Organized rapidly in many counties, lire giving the anti-saloon league no end of worry. In fact, the league does Hot know 'how to fight them. The league's attorneys and many others of
the best lawyers in the state have been

New York, Aug. 19. Lashed to a bit of wreckage, on which he had been battered by winds and waves throughout a day and. night. Mans Pierson the missing sailor of the shipwrecked schooner Arlington, was picked up at sea yesterday. For 27 hours he had been without food or drink. Pierson was rescued by the fishing schooner Irene and Mary 10 miles off the Atlantic Highlands. Sixteen other vessels had passed him by on his perilous journey, and the Irene and Mary would also have
left him to his fate but for the schoon
er's mascot, a little cocker spaniel, which attracted the crew's attention to Pierson when he was still several miles away. , "By golly, I thought I was a goner," 'said Pierson. Then he took a long 1 pull from the captain's flask, swallowed a cup of piping-hot coffee and turned in without further comment. Not until he awoke from a sound sleep did he complete his narrative. I "Sport," a black, curly-haired span
iel, was the hero of the occasion. For
an hour before the rescue Sport had been enuffing the windward air, pawing the rail and yelping excitedly. Puzzled by the dog's actions the captain kept a sharp lookout, and when he saw what looked like a buoy slipped from its moorings he headed the schooner for It. Soon he could make out with the aid of glasses the
figure of a man waving his undershirt. It was Pierson. "All day Tuesday I shouted and waved my flag," said Pierson when he. awoke. "All last night I fought off
sleep and the numbing cold. Sixteen vessels, one a revenue cutter, passed me, but I could not attract their attention and I was often out of sight In the trough of the seas. "At last I could see by the way the Irene and Mary changed her course that the lookout had sighted me. I
have been a sailor for 22 years, but nothing ever looked so good to me as
the Irene and Mary beating up to
windward."

it
pie to try to lay out a campaign that will result In further legislation at the next session of the legislature, and it is the hope of the league that such legislation will enable them to prevent the operation of the social clubs In dry territory. The principal feature of this proposed plan is to have a law enacted that will make it a crime to ship in
toxicating liquors from a wet county into a dry county where Its sale is prohibited by the law. The clubs now transact all their business by mail.
Each member, through the manager of
the club, who acts as agent to all of the members, sends a mail order to a
brewery in another county for a quan
tity of beer, and sends along the beer
to pay for it. The beer is shipped to
the member according to this order.
The manager gives the member a card like a milk ticket, stating the number of bottles of beer the member has on
hand. Whenever the member consumes
a bottle of beer the card is punched. When the beer is all gone the card is taken up and destroyed. Thus the member gets his beer a.nd the manager runs the ice box, but nothing is sold.

Caaae to Be Applied tm Ar
ticles mt Ceataerce. The word "staple," applied as an adjective to distinguish certain articles of commerce, had its origin in England in the early part of the thirteenth century. The merchants of the staple were the first and most ancient and were so called from their exporting the staple wares of tbe kingdom namely, wool, leather, skins, lead and tin. The king's staple was established in certain towns, and certain goods could not be exported without being first brought to those towns and rated and charged with the duty payable to the king. The grower of wool contented himself at first with the sale of It at his own door or at the next town. Thence arose a
class of men who bought it from him and became a medium between the grower and the foreign cloth merchants. In 1319 the company had the legal form of a corporation and was the oldest mercantile corporation In England. Edward II. had for the better collecting of duty on wool ordained that the staple for it should be a certain town In the Netherlands, and Antwerp was fixed upon. It was after
ward successively removed to St.
Omer's, Bruges, Brussels, Louvaln,
Mecklin and Calais. In 1353 the staple was fixed at Westminster, which caus
ed so great a resort of traders that
from a village it was raised to the dignity of a town. In 1378 it was removed to the place still named Staple inn, in
Holborn. Hence "staple goods" are such as have been duly appraised and have paid the regular customs duties.

MILLET'S INFLUENCE.
Hoat of Pnlntera Followed Hias la Depleting- Peasant Lite. In his own words Millet tried' to de
pict "the fundamental side of men ami things." His subject was the peasant
life not the representation of it such as one sees in opera or the pretty, sen
timental aspect of it, but the actual drama of labor continuously proceeding through the four seasons, the "cry of the soul," echoing in the hearts of the patient, plodding. God fearing toilers. Everything was typical. We have spoken of his "Sower." Of another pic
ture the critic Castagnary wrote: "to you remember his 'Reaper? He might have reaped the whole earth!" Everything that Millet did wag full of a deep seriousness and sincerity. He never was an "easy" painter, so that his greatness as an artist is perhaps more clear in the black and white than in the colored subjects. Certainly in his crayon drawings, lithographs and etchings he proved himself to be one of that limited number of artists who may be reckoned master draftsmen. Moreover, the character that he expresses isbf that grand and elemental
quality which sometimes reminds us of Michael Angelo. Millet's Influence produced a host of painters of the peasant, among whom the strongest are the Frenchman L'Hermitte and Israels, the Dutchman. These, like him. have represented their subject with sympathy and with understanding also. St. Nicholas.

SHE GETS LECTURE
There has been considerable complaint recently over the fact that three women and one man illegally representing themselves to be agents for a
leading merchant of this city, have been making a canvass in the north end and securing orders for lace. One
of the women was brought to police headquarters and given a severe lecture by Chief Staubach. She was told to get out of town and to take the other members of the party with her. It Is not believed that the quartet will give the authorities or residents of this city any further trouble. SALOME DANCE HERE. No doubt the church going people of this city would be shocked if any manager of a theater should bill a Salome Dance. For people do not have to go scantily dressed or half naked to save washing since rub-a-lac has been introduced. It saves the clothes too. Try it and surprise your family next
wash day. All grocers sell it.
