MAN ABOUT TOWN.

The Anneke Jans heirs are meeting again and again there is brought before them a report that somewhere a deoision has been rendered which is much in favor of the claim to the New York City property, part of which is the very valuable estate of the Trinity church, that remarkable religious corporation which has worse tenants and is the most grasping landlord perhaps there is in New York. I don't know how many times this Jans fiction has been exposed but that makes no difference. The deluded heirs keep coming forward at these periodical meetings and always with increased confidence. These estates, whether looated in this country or in Europe—most of them are across the ocean—have a strange fascination for some people. They have been shown to be baseless claims but the claimants never give up and if any do yield there are new gener ations of heirs to take hold of the movement. I have always notioed that you can expect a meeting of heirs if you see a floating paragraph to the effect that there has been a deoision in favor of the heirs or that the owners of the property are offering to compromise, as it is now reported the Trinity church corporation wants to do. Of course Trinity church does not want to compromise. As a matter of fact its title to the property has long since been adjudicated and Jans heirs may be assured that Trinity church will not give them a cent though they be legitimate heirs to the property, because the Trinity church corporation is as soulless as any that we hear described as being without soul or conscience.

In the Indianapolis Journal this week a railroad official makes the point that the Pennsylvania railroad management is very desirouB of obtaining all possible benefit of the Yandalia popularity and for that reason the statement is repeatedly made that the system is to be oper ated as an independent property. President McCrea this week furnished the associated press with a statement to that effect and made it appear as If the change that took place at the annual meeting last week was simply because of the wish of Mr. McKeen and Mr. Williams to retire from the positions of president and general manager. The comment of the official quoted by the Journal was that the system already has virtually passed under the oontrol of the Pennsylvania by the placing of Pennsylvania men in other responsible positions. Man About Town last week referred to President McCrea's very evident purpose to have it understood that the system is to undergo no radioal change in Its polioy or operative management that he wanted the public which has such a bigh opinion of the "Van." tooontinu in the belief that it is about the best ad, for its patrons and employes,

l|SB

jhe country. His

'Solicitude on that soore was manifested by his act in giving the associated press the statement this week. But, as pointed •out by the railroad official in the Journal, the system is passing completely to the Pennsylvania management and hlle it will still be called the Yandalia instead of a division of the Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania polioy will prevail and Pennsylvania men will carry out that polioy.

There is said to be a better understanding between the T. P. A. people and the Fair association and consequently less alarm over the danger of a conflict of dates of the T. P. A. convention and the running meeting. The traveling men were worrying only because they were afraid the race meeting would orowd the hotels and discommode the T. P. A. visitors. Then it was made to appear that the Fair apnociation was bent on hampering the oonventloD by having the race meeting the same week in any event and if not the same week that the grounds oould not be secured by the traveling men for any purpose during the convention week. This was not true but for a few days it was made to seem to be the fact and the opponents of a running meeting were saying that the Fair directors had incurred the enmity of the traveling men and therefore would lose their support for the races. The Fair directors have told the convention managers that they are welcome to the grounds and the true situation is begining to be understood on all sides. It Is dso beginning to be understood that there would be no more danger of crowding the city with a running meeting in progress than there would be with excursions to the city every day during the convention aa was announced at the recent meeting of business men with

members of Post G. The dateu of the running meeting have not been fixed as yet and will not be until the other oities in the proposed ciroult are ready to arrange for them.

The Republicans of Putnam, Morgan, and Hendrloks couatlas, who were here this week for the first time as delegates to a congressional convention, think they are going to like being associated with Terre Haute in polities. Morgan and Putnam oountlea had been in a congressional district with Terre Haute in years long ago but it is Hendrloks county's first experience. Some of the Hendricks oounty people said they had learned how to work together and use their strength discreetly that in turn Hendricks oounty may ask for some of the good things when they are passed around. There were presons present at the convention the other day who thoughts that perhaps Hendricks would ask for the nomination for congressman for Judge Hadley two years from now. The judge made a speeoh such as might be expeoted at a nominating convention.1 He is not a good dodger, however, as was evlnoed in his referenoe to the silver issue. He said the questiou must be let alone that the people would settle it this fall. If it is advisable to let an issue alone the best thing to do is not to refer to it, especially at a convention where no one is expecting it to come up. But, how it is to be settled next November without talking about it or making some declaration in the platform on which the candidate for congress is to make the race, the judge did not explain.

The trial of the Kellers for the murder of Clara Shanks is set for Monday, and both the defense and proeeoution are ready to proceed with it. Dan Keller, his wife, and Maggie, his sister, are tired of jail life and want to know their fate. At the time the body of Clara Shanks, the protty daughter of a farmer in the northwest part of Parke county, was found in a creek, the newspapers were filled with stories of the tragedy. The Shanks and Keller families were neighbors, and had been on friendly terms until Mrs. Keller became jealous of the girl, not, as it seems, because of any aot on the part of the girl, but because of her husband's acts toward her. The jealous wife forced him to admit improper relations with the girl, whioh the latter hysterically denied, but admitted that Keller had made advanoes which she resented. The poor girl was at dinner at her home when the matter was discussed. She hurriedly left the house, saying she would go to the Kellers and make Dan retract his alleged confession. That was the last her family saw of her alive. When her body was found in the oreek the first supposition was that she had committed suicide, but further investigation showed that her neck was broken, and that she had been murdered and thrown into the oreek. Enough evidence against the Kellers was seoured to cause their indictment for murder. The defense took a change of venue from Parke oounty Lawyers from Fountain county and Parke county will appear in the oase and Lamb & Beasley will also appear (or ,h„ defendants^

A Qalokly Prepared Dessert. Although the Bellamy system of housekeeping has not yet been fully developed, the women of the day are to be congratulated upon the vast strides that are being made toward convenience and economy In housekeeping, and es peoially as regards the home bill of fare.

In this connection, the Merrell-Soule Company, of Syracuse, has come conspicuously to the front with their None Such Mince Meat, a material for desserts, the prominent features of whioh are its wholesomeness, riohness of flavor, and the remarkably short time In which It can be prepared for the table.

The ingredients of this Mince Meat are prepared by exact rule, and with the greatest care. In no kitohen In the land is there more scrupulous cleanliness. The choioest apples, and the selected meat are chopped by steam power the currant* are washed and re*washed by the same method. The raisins are seeded, the sugar ground, the apices mixed, and every operation performed with the skill that would meet the approval of the most particular housewife. The proprietors recognise that the immense sales of their product rest entirely on its being maintained at the highest possible standard, and it is their experience that those who try tt once are unwilling to go back to the old laborious way of making mlnoe pies, but aooept the new order of things as thankfully as they do the sewing maohine or the electric light.

The Merrell-Soule Company have issued a oharming booklet entitled "Mrs. Popklns' Thanksgiving," written by one of our most popular humorous writers, whioh they are sending free to all who send name and address.
