drawn from the Public Library.

dozen or more prominent citizens appeared
before the school board library committee at its
regular meeting, yesterday afternoon, and urged
the withdrawal of Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher's
novel, entitled From Dawn to Daylight" from
the city library. On a hy-leaf in each of the
three volumes which Belong to the library is
written key to the characters of the
novel, nearly all of whom are rep
resented as citizens of indianapolis, and
as it was proven that the story is wholly ic
ton, it was decided that this key made the books
libelous. The committee, therefore, ordered
their withdrawal from the library. The key to
as three or four years. but it did not come to the
notice of the librarian or committee until the
books were produced yesterday. The trouble
between Mr.. Simon Yandes and Librarian De
Hooper, over the action of the former in taking
the books from the library without permission,
was settled satisfactorily to both gentlemen.

CHARLES READE AND THE THEATEK.
a Friend Is Found who Denies that He
Abjured the Stage.

Abjured the Stage.
New York Commercial Advertiser.
The cable announces that the Rev. Charles
Graham, the spiritual adviser of Charles Reade,
has just published the memoirs of the novelist.
and that the book tells how Mr. Reade was in
great mental distress over his connection as a
playwright Of the stage.
The dispatch says: In 1880 Mr.. Reade de-
clared that he had renounced the theateP, but
later, during severe attack of bronchitis he
was in great mental trouble because he had
blacksiid and returned to the world"
A close friend of the dead novelist said this
morning that be did not regard this treatment
of Mr. Reade'S connection with the stage as can
did and intimated that the reverend gentleman
had endeavored to make capital out of fact
which, of itself, had no moral significance. In
$780,, he continued Laura Seymour, the cele
brated English actress, died. She had been
lifelong friend of Reade, and whatever he drama
tized he always adapted to her peculiar genius.
Her death had very depressing effect upon
him, and for upwards of year dramatic
work was so diStasteful to him because of the
sad memories it awakened, that he declared he
would never again resume his connection with
the stage. In the latter part of 1881, however,
he surrendered to the opportunities of the man
ayers and again entered the theatrical arena,
and gathered, in one London season, E8, 900 roy
atty from one play. His last dramatic effort was
Single Heart and Double Face
81 do not believe that Mr.. Reade ever abjured
the stage from conscientious motives, and, con-
sequently, l do not believe that it is just
to the memory of a great and pure man,
as well as foremost writer, to say that he con
tinued to receive money from plays while he
professed to have been convinced of the sinful
ness of things histrionie. This view of the
case also dsposes of the silly idea that in his
last moments Mr.. Reade mourned his back
sliding, as the reverend biographer is pleased
to term the authors re-entry upon play writing
l know that Charles Reade was fond of the
theater to the day of his death, and that he be-
lieved in the theater"

Worms in a sI,eep,s Brain.

l. J. Williams. a breeder Of fine sheep who
was visitor at the rooms of the State Board Of
Agriculture, yesterday, from Muncie, exhibited
eight large grub-worms which were taken from
the brain of sheep that had died in very sin
guar manner His theory is that the worms
were the growth of insect eggs which had been
inhaled into the nostrils of the sheep, and he
believes that there are many that have died
from the same cause The symptoms of the
peculiar afliction in the earlier stages are
marked by the sheep refusing to eat, and final
death OCCURS
