STUDENTS' RIOT.

Thf Rial* Cttlvenlly the K*ne ofa Diwgraccful Affair. ]xi! ANAIHt48, Ind., May 29.—A special to the News from Bloomtngton. tells of a tight between students at the State Urii versify. They were serenading the faculty with a negro band. A crowd of juniors interfered and one of them, James Simpson waa seriously and perhaps fatally injured. Hall, a .Freshman, was shot in the leg, Ira Dilhner was arrested for anault on Simpson. A number of boys were arrested for rioting.

ltoaaty of Pet-aoa,

Some excellent people take aerious exception to Grant Allen's remark that, being a man, he tcok it for granted that the first business of a girl waa to be pretty. Now, it may be that Mr. Allen is not so far out of the way after all It Is certainly the duty of every woman, and man, too, to be aa good looking as possible, because beauty gives pleasure to other people. Beauty of person ia the expression of something corresponding to it in the mind and soul, and is to be prixed accordingly. True beauty comes from the cultivation of the higher grace* of the mind and soul, as well aa the care of the body, and cannot exist without this. A dried up old professor who knows forty languages, and yet is weak eyed, lank haired, stoop shouldered and dyspeptic, is as far from being a per-

feetly developed man aa the prise fighter. Of the two the prise fighter is far the mow agreeable object to look at The Greeks were nearer right than we think when tftey gave physical culture so high a place. So, girls and women of all ages, be aa beautiful as you can. Make youtsselvts handsome by physical exercise, by intellectual work and by cultivating a sweet temper am) generous, kindly spirit to all mankind.

A. D. White and Coed neat to*. Ex-President White, of Cornell, Is enthusiastically in favor of coeducation and athletio exercise*. Coeducation makes women more womanly and men more wanly, he says. And sunshine, fresh air and vigorous physical exercise* are more important for girls than for boy* even, because 4"co-ed." girl student# in their xeal for study are apt to neglect their bodies. In his judgment no girl should lw permitted to f&ke a college course unless she also took a proper system of regular exercise in a gymnasium «r elsewhere.

MONO,

Va., May 29.—A remarka

ble spectacle of enthusia^n is presented by this city to-day. On every hand are flap and decorations and immense crowds busy with preparations for the ceremonies of to-day's celebration, or hurrying to places bom which to view the great parade and unveiling of Lee's statue. The stars and stripes are mingled amicably everywhere with the stars and bare. Every one is in holiday attire and bright uniforms lend color and brilliancy to the scenes. The hotels and lodging houses of every description are packed with visitors. The reviewing stands are all finished and are gay with decorations of bunting and greens. To-day's trains are bringing in guests by the thousands and the ceremonies will be witnessed by perhans the largest assemblage ever gathered in the South. All business is suspended for the day. iy 9 o'clock this morning various organizations begun to prepare for the parade. The New York delegation arrived this morning on a special train and marched to Bread street accompanied by a band of music. They make a splendid appearance and were heartily cheered along the route. About twenty commands arrived to-day.

An incident of the day created a good deal of feeling amongst some of the non confederate element, A young man climbed to the top of the Washington monument and placed the confederate (lag in the hands of the statue, which was wildly cheered by the crowd. It was looked upon by alias a verf thoughtless act and several protested, but the flag was allowed to remain.

A significant indication oi the general feeling hero is manifested by the display of a large sign in front of the .State news japer office bearing the words: "Robert 3. Lee, America's greatest man." The sentiment of love and veneration for Lee is so strong here that the memory Washington is for the time entirely sup planted.

The re-union of so many Southern veterans has aroused a strong feeling which however, is cheerfully displayed in a profusion of confederate flags and praise of confederate soldiers. Several of the commands carried stars and stripes in the procession. All private houses along the ine of march are splendidly decorated The Old Lee mansion has the bust of General Lee displayed in a conspicuous place from the porch surrounded with a wreath of laurel and placed in abed of flowers and evergreens.

The great procession begun its march at 12:30. headed by General Fitz-Hugh Lee ana staff. In the first carriage was Gov. McKinney, Colonel Archer, orator, General Early and General Joe Johnston The second carriage conveyed Gen. Robt

Lee's sons and daughters. The pass age of the processional column through the principal streets was one continual ovation. So great was the crowd on the sidewalks that the marching column was delayed till nearly 'clock before it reached the monument When the governor and distinguished guests had taken their places on the grand stand reserved for them the procession passed in review before them. After tins Rev. Charles Minnerode deliv ered an impressive prayer. Governor McKinlev then introduced General Early as chairman. After a few remarks the latter introduced Col. Archer, the orator of the day.

HAWKINS HANGED.

FIRST YEAR. THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 29. 1890.

Murderer I'nyi the Penalty Wnwhlngton City. WASNINT TON, May 29.—Benjamin Hawkins, colored, is to be hanged at the district jail between 12 and 1 o'clock to-day for the murder of his wife, Cora Haw kins, from whom he had separated. The murder occurred early in 1889. He was convicted in May, I8*t9, but appeals and two respites by the President delayed the execution until to-day. Hawkins, after spending some time with his spiritual adviser last night, retired and slept soundly. He spent the morning in a composed manner, breakfasting heartily, conversing with his spiritual adviser and a few friends who were permitted to take leave of him. He is calm and collected and proposes to meet death unflinchingly.

Hawkins was hanged shortly after 12 'clock. He conducted himself with He

saying: "Good bye, I'm going home to die no more." Death was evidently from strangulation as he was not pronounced dead nntil fully twenty minutes after the fall.

BASEJBAIXBILUSTER.

TerrelHaate Slant Ont at QnlBty-Hi* Kane For tialoubnrg'-lfotea. Hie Recciua-Gotiath found its David in the Quincy game the person of one Montague, an amateur pitcher. David of old did his work with a pebble Montague killed off the Terre Haute giant with bis little ball and his good right arm. He was hit but twice and both Terre Hauteanswho struck fell dead with surprise when they found what they had done. Shaw, this prodigy who came to us, prevailed, so to speak, with the blare of trumpet and crash of cymballs—this base^ball wonder— again played the baby act did it outrageously and to a listing degree. With every decision of the umpire that failed to agree with the opinions of this baby monkey, he would throw down the ball,*jam hh figurative fist into his figurative eye, puree his figurative Hps into numerous wrinkles and bellow and say lie wouldn't play with the "nasty old umpire on the held" bothering him and telling lies," and then "Pap" Reccius would put his arm about Bp3E JShaw's neck and chuckle him under his little double chin and say: "There, there, be a good baby and pitch just one more ball and papa will buy you a tin horn when we go to town." Then Baby Shaw would wiggle into the box and throw another ball, and some mean Quincy fellow would paste the leather and send it spinning into the blue etheriai, and then the Maryland baby would again set up his cry. Phil Reccius should purchase a Little Lord Fontlerov suit for this sappy child, give him a pocket full of gum drops and send him back to the place from whence he came. The Terre Ilautes played a good fielding game but found it impossible to hit the amateur. The Quincies made their runs in the last two innings. Score:

Preftldent Young's Decision. With regard to the disputed decision of Umpire Reeves in the Terre HautePeoriagame, the president of the National League sets the matter at rest, as fallows: "The umpire's decision was exactly as it would have been decided bad the play occurred in a league championship game. When a short lly is hit up in the infield and there is a chance for a double play and the ball comes in contact with a player's hands before touching any other obiect, it is considered as momentarily held. This construction removes the uestion of either doubt or discretion on be part of the umpire as to whether the ball was intentionally muffed, or not for the purpose of making a double play."

The New Arrangement.

To-day the executive committee of the Inter State League is in session at Peoria, James Fitxpatrick representing Terre Haute. The object of the meeting is the transfer of the Galeeburg franchise to Indianapolis. Galesburg is in desper ate financial strait, depending on to-mor-row's game to pay salaries due June 1st John Martin, of the Big Four, is ready at a moment's*notice to put a team in the field. Indianapolis has no Sunday playing and the Sundav games of the league's new member will be divided between Terre Haute and Evansville. The ad mission of Indianapolis is considered a good thing as it will put three Eastern and three Wewtern teams in the league. The necessary change of schedule will be easily made as the first series of six games, barring Terre Haute's three with Burlington have been played. Indiana* polis will open the new series with Peoria probably on June 3rd.

SIMPSON'S ELECTION BOOTH.

IJfDIANAPOLIfl PAJKTEKS CLAIM KT is AII ufruxeKMiarr.

The Swell AJfetr to Be Otvra Hero on St. John'* Day-Tb* Tkroo Col orN Barglan Kotnraed to

There is at present on exhibition in the basement of the court house a very in genious arrangement in tha shape of folding booth, with three compartments, to be used nnder the new election law It was designed by County Engineer George Simpson and executed under his immediate supervision. The whole thing complete will costthe county for each precinct, providing it is used, not more than $10, and the concern has many ad vantages over anything else of the kind that has been brought to the notice of the commissioners.

An Indianapolis manufacturer of booths, who has been referred to in this paper as the possessor of nine different patents on the same, was in the city this week to confer with the commissioners once more with a view of closing a contract with them to supply Vigo county. It has been previously stated that he required $18 apiece for his booths and that at that rate the cost to the county for booths alone at the Fall election would be nearly $10,000. This enormous sum tended to frightened Messrs. Dickereon, Henderson and Finkbiner, and they called upon Mr. Simpson to know if he could not produce something that would answer the pur pose and not cost so much, and as a result that gentleman got up the booth alluded to in the outset

It is complete in every respect and exhibits a great deal of mechanical ingenuity, but now comes this monopolist from the Capital city and viewing the work of our able county engineer pronounces it an infringement upon one of his patents. If this be true the commissioners will probably have to buy the product of the Indianapolis man or stand a suit for infringement. Either will be apt to cost the taxpayers a considerable sum. Let them console themselves with the reflection that when once the booths are ours they do not have to b- bought again and we are well nigh impregnable against demoralizing election frauds.

A BRAVE REPORTER.

A News Writer Doos a Heroic Deed at Yesterday'* Fire. While the Early pork house fire was in progress yesterday Fred R. Goodridge, a reporter on

THE NEWS

staff who was de

tailed to report the fire, attempted one of the bravest and most daring acts ever known in the history of fires in this city. A mother whose baby was still in the burning tenement was nearly frantic with grief and was rushing aimlessly about crying for her child and Mr. Goodridge who was formerly on the fire department hearing her cries rushed into the burning building to save the child. He was followed by the mother and some man unknown to him. He made his way to the room where the child was but found that it had been taken out soon after the fire started. Just then one of the the walls fellain and the flames' rushed in upon thes®^men.

The two brave^vHLby crawling along the floor manned to make their escape. Mr. (j|odridge had his hair and mustache Burned and his escape was a very narrow one. In his report of the fire Mr. Goodridge was too modest to mention his own brave act and his narrow escape from a horrible death, and did not mention it to any one about the office. Another reporter who visited the ruins this morning heard of the daring act of this courageous newspaper man and does not hesitate to give the facts to the public.

THEV ALL SCRAPPED.

A Few More A Man II aai Battery Case* UoOaft«c«rd. This morning Harry Earling appeared in the mayor's office with a voluminous bandage around his neck. He plead guilty to having assaulted Wm. Moore, and was fined. Then he filed a complaint against Wm. Moore for asBault and battery with intent to kill.

Earling and Moore got into trouble in front of the Four's reel house last night Moore had worked for Earling and called on the latter for his pay. Earling answered offensively. Moore retorted with sharp words and" a blow. From that they went at it and such a scratching, hairpulling struggling gutter set-to was never before witnessed by the Four's firemen The combatants were finally separated and Earling repaired to the side of the building and supplied himself with a brick. He returneu to use this on Moore, when the latter grasped an old case-knife and warding off Barling's blow swiped away at his throat The wousd infiicied was trivial.

Barton Calloway, the colored man who shot Dollv Phillips by accident during a political demonstration in this city two years ago, was up in Felsenthal's court this morning on a charge of having assaulted Charles Wheeler. The squire beard the evidence and promptly dismissed the case. It seems that Wheeler was under the magic influence of forty-rod and needed the licking he got in the true sense of the term.

LITTLE BLACK BABIES-

The Latest Fad In Children's Dresses and Its Reflex Action. The latest fad ia to dress your baby girls in black. Black from head to foot leads the style, but & not uncommon sight ia a little toddler, hardly able to walk, dressed in a black silk skirt with a black waist trimmed in white. The solid black hat has the preference over any other, but if there must be any variegation it is produced by tying a mastodonic white or black and white sash around the hat

The youngster thus completed the mother proceeds to iiedeck herself in the style of to-day, which is as gay and chipper as the child's dress of five years ago. It is no uncommon sight on Wabash avenue, these fine summer afternoons, to see one of these pall-shrouded, solemn, bla looking babies trudging along by the side of its mother, who is dressed as gay as a butterfly and who only looks the gayer by comparison. Ridiculous fashion! mend thy ways.

Dynamiters Arrested In Paris To-day —Miscellaneous Kews From Across the Atlantic—Forelfirn Notes -'r-'vC, To-day.

GENEVA,

May 29.—The closing of the

gambling houses here is the first blow officially dealt against the gambling houses, which the legislative chambers in Europe have been asked by many petitions to open. When the German government closed, twenty years ago, the "Conversation" at Baden and Baden Kureaal at Hamburg, and other famous gambling houses it was expected the plague of "roulette" and "trentet-quar ante" would die away. But these games were merely transferred by M. Blanc, manager of Baden Baden, from that place to the principality of Monaco, at Monte Carlo, the most notorious gam bling casino in the world.

Wlien Charles, the blind priuce Monaco, died and Monte Carlo became the property of Prince Albert last No vember, it was hoped this scholarly and honest prince would abolish "roulette in his realm, especially after his marriage to the Duchess of Richeleau, a charming and refined lady. Still Prince Albert has not abolished gambling, and though the society of the games pays all the public expenses of the principality of Monaco its profits are so considerable that other societies propose to open casinos in other cities in Europe besiaes that at Spa and even outside of Europe, for instance Cairo and Tangier. These schemes have put new life into the crusade against gambling and Geneva has opened fire Like other cities of cosmopolitan charac ter it suffers especially from the plague of gambling.
