Large Investments in Horse Flesh.

"Caspar," in one of his New York
letters to the Detroit Free Press, SAYS
Mr.. Bonner's investments in horse flesh
have been pretty large. His first was
SO, 900 for team that he wanted for ex-
ercise. He had no thought then of be-
coming an owner of famous horses, but
the passion gradually grew upon him.
He paid $40, 900 for Joe Elliot, SIC, 900
for Edwin Forrest, $15, 600 fore Lady
Stuart, $50, 900 for Edward Everett and
the same for Startle; $35, 600 for Poca-
hontas, and the same sum, think, for
Dexter; $50, 900 for Rarus and $40, 900
for Maud S. Had any man talked of
paying $40, 600 for trotter when Bon
ner made his first purchase, he would
probably have been set down as a luna
tic.

The First Meerschaum Pipe.

In 1928 there lived in Pesth, the capi-
tai of Hungary, Karol Kowates shoe
makers, whose ingenuity in cutting and
carving on wood, etc., brought him in
contact with Count Andrassy, with whom
he became a fayorite. The count, on
his return from a mission to Turkey,
brought with him piece of whitish
clay, which had been presented to him
as curiosity on account of its extraor-
dinary light specific gravity. 1t struck
the shoemaker that, being porous, it
must be we'll adapted for pipes, as it
would absorb the nicotine. The expert
ment was tried, and Karol cut pipe
for the count and one for himself. But
in the pursuit OF his trade he could not
keep his hands clean and many a piece
of shoemaker's wax became attached to
the pipe. The clay, however, instead
of assuming dirty appearance when
Karol wiped it off, received wherever
the wax adhered TO it u clear brown
polish instead of the dull white it pre-
viously had. Attributing this change in
the tint TO its proper source, he waxed
the whole surface, and, polishing the
pipe again, smoked it, and noticed how
admirably and beautifully it colored,
also how much more sweetly the pipe
smoked after being waxed. Other noble
men, hearing of the wonderful proper
ties of this singular species of clay, i'm
ported it in considerable quantities for
the manufacture of pipes. The natural
scarcity of this much esteemed article
and the great cost Of importation in
those days of limited facilities for trans
portation rendered its use exclusively
confined TO the richest European noble
men until 1880, when it became a more
general article of trade. The first meer-
schaum pipe made by Karol Kowates has
been preserved in the museum of Pesth.

Comes gurgling from each clump;
The chiTp of sparrows all day long,

Now strike upon the breeze.
But not a sound of all these crews
Is half as harsh as the hullabaloos

sELF-RELIANCE.

BY thine own souls law learn to live,
And if men thwart thee take no heed,
And if men hate thee have no care;
Sing thou thy song, and do thy deed,
Hope thou thy hope, and pray thy prayer,
And claim no crown they will not give,
lior bays they grudge thee for thy hair.
IL
Keep thou thy soul sworn steadfast oath,
And to thy heart be true thy heart;
What thy soul teacher learn to know,
And play out thine appointed part;
And thou shalt reap as thou shalt sow;
Nor helped nor hindered in thy growth,
To thy full stature thou shalt grow.
Fix on the futures goal thy face.
And let thy feet be lured to stray
Nowither, but be swift to run,
And nowhere tarry by the way,
Until at last the end is won.
And thou mayst look back from thy place
And see thy long days journey done

Clara Morris's Success.

Special to The indianapolis Journal.
Boston, Oct. 13.-The local sensation to
night was the performance given by Miss Clara
Morris at the Park Theater. Miss Morris be
gan an extended tour of the country here and
was greeted by brilliant audience which com
pletely flied the theater She was given ar
ovation upon her first entrance and the
applause was so loud and long. continued that it
was several minutes before the actress was al
lowed to speak her lines. She responded to re-
peated calls before the curtain, and the leading
members of Manager Goodwin's company sup
porting her were honored in similar manner.
The popular verdict is that Clara Morris rises
far superior to any actress that has ever ap
peared in Boston. Her remainir performances
will be series of popular triumpIs, inasmuch
as the house is sold for every night.

ADJUSTMENTS.

GRAND oPERA-HOUsE-'P PAYMENTS OF PARIS "
The English adaptation of Belot and DEu-
nery's lie Pave de Paris was presented for the
first time in this city at the Grand Opera-hOuse,
last night, by Mr. John Rickaby's company, and
the performance was received with evident favor
by good audience. The play is French melo-
DRAMA full of incidents more or less sensational
and intended, as explained in the bills, to pre-
sent "a Kaleidoscope view of high and low life
in the capital of France" In this it is undoubt-
eddy successful, for the characterizations are ex
cellent and wildly defined. The story is in
some respects suggestive of D Ennerys greatest
success, 1.-TWO Orphans" for it has to do with
the indignites to which young country girl
who comes unattended to Paris is subjected
and her subsequent restoration to her mother
countess, to whom she has been lost since in
fancy. The play is in prologue and four acts
In the first-named there are very striking tab
leaux, but i'll the first two acts the story drags
somewhat, and genuine dramatic strength is
manifested only in the later scenes. The set
ting of the piece is both realistic and picturesque;
several of the scenes are evidently the work of
an artist, and the introduction of very faithful
representation of a locomotive under full steam,
in the last act, is decided novelty.
The company is very good one, and com
posed largely of comedians, for unlike
largely made up of the comedy
element If it were not, it would be fiat fail
ure. More than a score of people are in the
cast, and individual hits are made by Harold
Fosberg, as De FlachOn, a striking mpersona-
ton, Mr.. Felix Morris, whose Monsieur Bonneau
is excelently done and Miss Dora Stuart, an
old time favorite, as De MaHchette, the coffee
vender Miss Adelaide Cherie appeared for the
first time last night in the leading part, and ac.
quilted herself very credtably. Miss Banckers
Marie is a trfe too formal and deliberate and
Mr.. Maggie goes to the other extreme and grossly
overacts the part of Fresch, while the other
people showed themselves capable especially
Miss Carroll and Mr. Morgan. The play will be
repeated to night, tomorrow afternoon and to-
morrow evening 1t has many interesting
features. The returns from the Ohio election
will be read from the stage between the acts to-
night
ENGLISH OPERA H0USE-MR KEENE'S RICHARD
At Englsh's last night full and enthusiastic
audience witnessed Thomas w. Keene's Rich
ard Ill, which was received with evident and
general satisfaction, the approval being testified
by the call of Mr.. Keene before the curtain at
the end of each act. His support, while
BEEN was good, and the piece
was presented in an artistic manner Mr. Keene
is winning friends in Indianapolis, his popularity
evidently increasing with each recurring ap-
pearance, and he is assured of good patronage
whenever he comes, His acting gives evidence
of Improvement over his work of former years,
and he more nearly approaches that ideal imper
sonation fitting the assumption of Shaksperian
characters.
