THE ADVANTAGE OF BLOOMERS.
Suggestions as to the New-FashiOned Dress
for Ladies Riding in Straw-Laden
Street-Cars.

Tobacco chewers cannot be too grateful to the
street-car company for its thoughtfulness and
care in garnishing the cars with straw in winter.
How admirably is the dull thud of the heavy
stream muffied, andwth what pleasure can the
strong chewer now contemplate his artistic work
as he looks upon the amber-colored fluid purling
over the yellow straw, now fondly clinging, and
anon gaily hulrying on; here forming fantastic
wreaths and there punching into rosettes in
the interlacing stalks. There are lady
passengers on the streetcars occasionally,
and as they stumble over the straw to their seats
their skirts drag over these beautiful nieotian
arabesques, ruthlessly destroying them. Ere
quently, with strange misconcepton of their of
tense, these fair vandals complain of the amber
gods and their artistic labors These murmurers
must be discouraged and slenced The fault
lies in their long skirts, and they must give way
Our venerable friend, Dr. Mary Walker, who
pants to be leader in dress reform has already
indicated how this may be done, but her method
is too radical If the ladies will only consent to
cut their garments decollette-from
the bottom-the amber gods will be con
eiliated and their decorations preserved. On
very cold days, when the chewers use more to-
bacco and expectorate most heavily and when,
for those reasons, the company puts most straw
into the cars, banking it up to a great height, 1t
will, of course. be expected that the LADIES VIII
correspondingly abbreviate their sklrts-any
premiere danseuse can furnish a pattern-and
the rare and picturesque designs of
our home artists will not be destroyed.
These suggestions are thrown out to defeat an
intended move on the part of some women, who,
it is rumored, are about to demand that the
streetcar company put up placard in each car
with the injunction, Don't spit on the straw, y
which would be an understandable invasion of the
rights of men, who have already conceded too

call halt.

"Dr." St. Johns Departure.

indianapolis is, because of its location as a
railroad center, an inviting iieid for travelling
quack doctors, but these nomads find when they
come here that distance has lent enchantment to
the view, and the field is not nearly as productive
as they had supposed. The crops of fools upon
which these charatans flourish is smaller here
than in any city of anything it in size in the
United States, and the crop, light it is, is not
easily harvested. The most recent of these gen
try to visit this city was DR. st. John, who
flooded the town with handbills testifying to his
miraculous powers as magnetic healer. He
pretended that he came here from New York
city, and published as reference the names of
score or more of the most prominent persons of
that city. In this list were the names of w III.
Vanderbilt, Charles A. Dana and Charles
O'Conor On Saturday letters were re-
ceived at this office from Mr. Vanderbilt and
Mr.. Dana, saying they did not know the
man, had never heard of him, and that
his use of their names was a forgery and
fraud, Those letters were published in the
Journal on Saturday. Dr.. St John was at Shell
byvie that morning, having gone there to work
up business, intending to operated all the country
towns, with indianapolis as a center. He jumped
Shebyville and came here on the first train, and
that night departed from this city, leaving long
array of creditors behind him. His rooms in the
Bates block were handsomely furnished, and
he sold about 5000 worth of stuff, all new, for
less than third of that amount of money and
skipped. He appeared to have been knocked out
in one round.

Gard to the Public,

An art school will be opened under the direc
ton of the indianapolis Art Association, early in
January. The exact date will be determined by
the condition of the rooms which are in the new
Plymouth Church, and will probably be ready
for occupancy by January TO- The directors
made the arrangement for a term of three months
only, hoping at the end of that period to be able
to improve the condition of the school. Thirty
pupils are already pledged for attendance during
the first term Mr.. Macdonald, of Chicago has
been engaged as the principal teacher This
gentleman bears the strongest testimo
malls from high art authorities, and is
believed to be exceptionally able, both as
teacher and artist He will be present the
last three days of each week, and all the teach
ing during those days will be done by him. So
soon as there are pupils ready to take lessons in
modelling the directors will employ gentleman
most competent in this department
During the first three days of each week, Miss
Ketcham will be present at the art rooms, and
will see that each student desiring to practice
during those days has an opportunity to do so
without interruption. During these days Miss
Ketcham is employed to give instruction in china
painting to special pupils in that branch. Les
sons in china painting will not be given on the
last three days of each week. The arrangements
made for the opening of the school seem most
suspicious No pains will be spared by the di-
rectors of the Art Association to give pupils the
best facilities and the best tuition. By order of
board. MAY WRIGHT SEwALL, Seey.

COuncilmen Benjamin, Smithers and Whar-

interview with Mr. Benjamin was brief He
