Vaccination

The order refusing children admittance
to our public schools without producing
certificate of vaccination from some re-
sponsible physician. will be rigidly en-
forced in Rock Island hereafter. Super
intendent Kemble has been very lenient
with his pupils in this matter. and they
have been given sufficient time to comply
with the request. Notice was given in the
schools last week that those scholars I'M
able to show the necessary certificate this
morning, would be refused admittance
until they do so. In making this request
Mr.. Kemble is simply acting under the in
structions of the state authorities. 1t is
to be hoped that no parents will be fool
ish enough to retard the studies of their
children, and at the same time endanger
their health by refusing to have them
yaccinated

and depositing it at Uniop square, while
the surplus dirt on Twentieth and TWEEN,

slough. We have failed TO discover where
the ingenuity of this move came in.

kNITTLE WINS.

The seats were all occupied but there
was some standing room to spare at the
rink last night The main attraction was
the five mile race between W. A. Knit>
tie, of this city. and V. W. Clough, of
Geneseo, for purse of $50, but the ANA
teurs took part in the general skating
and marches with apparently as much in
terest as they watched the race. 1t was
nine o'clock when the racers were started
for the contest, on opposite sides of the
rink. Knittle skated slendidly, and de-
spite the exertions of Clough, caught up
to him before the first mile was finished,
and kept to his heels with
tenacity that seemed to weaken
Clough. Knittle's face was wrealhed
with smiles as he rolled around the track,
feeling that he had sure thing of win
ming, and he did not oyer estimate his
proves, for towards the end of the race
he livened his pace and passed Clough
several times At the finish, and in fact
during the entire race, Knittle was heart
lily applauded by his friends, while Clough
did not receive much encouragement
The time was 81 minutes and 80 seconds.

Criminal Court Matters.

In the Criminal Court, yesterday, Harry Hib-
ben, the young man Of newspaper pretensions,
entered a plea of guilty to the charge of forgery.
Judge Norton sentenced him two years in the
penitentiary. James Mcbride, charged with
selling liquor after IL o'clock at night, and Leo
Riger with selling liquor on Sunday, were re-
leased by the court sustaining a motion to
quash the affdavits on the ground that they did
not set out the quantity sold. Among this class
of cases are four against Malachi Quinn, of Hen
bricks county. They relate to selling without
license, selling unlawfully, and to minors. Quinn
got a change of venue to this county, and the
prosecutor says the accused wanted to compro-
mise the case by paying $50, the fines and costs
in all four amounting to $50. This was re-
fused, when Quinn offered to pay $50. But. said
the prosecutor: You can pay the full amount
or stand trial" Quinn preferred the latter
course, and the cases have been set for Wednes-
day.
Sherman Breeden, held on an indictment of
forging a coroner's order for a witness fee. was
sent back to Jail to await further action of the
grand Jury. Judge Norton said the first indict-
ment was defective. but this has been remedied
by information being filed against the prisoner. A
nolle was entered in the case of Ada Harris, in
dicted for petit larceny.

The Home for Friendless.

Judge Lamb appeared before the County Com
missioners, yesterday, in the interest of the
Home of the Friendless. Heretofore the county
has given that institution 5000 yearly, but the
Judge claimed that greater pecuniary aid was
necessary. He called attention to the allowance
made by the Vanderburg County Commission
ers to the Home of the Friendless in Evansville,
which is about 500 per month. This sum, he
thought, ought to be given by Marion county to
the home in this city. The Commissioners took
the matter under advisement.

Indianapolis NAV Have q Ball Club.

Advices from the East indicate that after all
Indianapolis may have a base ball club next
year. The decision of, the Philadelphia court
sustaining Erastus Wiman's plea fora permanent
injunction against the American Association to
prevent their Withdrawing the Metropolitan
clubs franchise, was entirely unexpected by the
ASSOCIATION. Indianapolis has been given to un-
derstand that it can have a represen-
tation in the National League, taking
the place of Buffalo, and if the League
will consent to assist the local management
to secure players this city may be represented.
Manager Watkins writes from Detroit that he
will release Donnelly, Crane and McQuery if In
dianapolis wants them, and Collins of last years
club wants to come back. The chief obstacle
now in the way of the city's having a club in the
league is its inability to secure capable talent,
and the whole matter depends largely on the
willingness of the other clubs to give assistance
in securing a nine.

Matters of Fact.

1t is a matter of fact tina. hardly admits of dis
pute that the indianapolis postoffice, as now con-
Quoted, has almost reached, SO far as the public
is concerned, the perfection of inconvenience
Instead of increasing the accommodations made
necessary by the ever-growing Importance of
this office, it seems to be the idea of the post
master to decrease the conveniences. There is
now a great business doing in money orders.
Under the former postmasters there were two
windows devoted to this business, one where
orders were paid and the other where they were
issued. These two have been telescoped into one,
and it is a delectable sight for a man of leisure
to look in upon the money-order department
and see from six to twenty anxious persons,
many Of them business men whose time is val
liable, dancing attendance upon the clerk and
waiting their turn. This is very amusing to a
looker-on. bat the patrons of the money-order
DEPARTMENT may not look upon it in that light.
The former stamp window, with It's rapid
moving and ready clerk, was Mt times hardly
sufficient to meet the demands of stamp buyers.

The several tea stores of Fl. H. Lee are in hol-
iday attire, the windows being beautifully
trimmed in harmony with the season-in YER
dant cedar and holly, while interspersed among
the green bright red berries make a cheerful
contrast. Mr.. Lee is to be commended for his
good taste. We like to see some little poetry in
trade, and Mr.. Lee appears to have caught the
inspiration of the Seasonal feeling that will 90

of the year.
Lieber's Art gallery, No. 50 East Washington
street, has for several days been thronged with
buyers of engravings, ~etchings, fine photographs,
~pastels, and oil and water-colored paintings.
During the past half-doZen years the taste of
the people of Indianapolis has greatly improved
in art matters. but H. Lieber & Co. have never
allowed the demands of the public to exceed
their readiness and willingness to supply such
demands. 1t is we'll worth any ones time to
pay a visit to No. 80 East Washington street to
see the new things II. Lieber g. Co.. will be
pleased to show.
w. D. Seaton, at No. 25 North Pennsyl-
vania street, the old reliable halter, shows a
large and complete line of hats, caps and fur
goods for the holiday trade. Many gentlemen
will desire new dress hats in which to make
their New Years calls, to such, Mr.. Seaton ex-
tends the invitation to first call upon him and
see the dress hats he has to offer.
l. L. Frankem calls attention to solid comfort
in the form of his Radiant Home harG-coal
stoves-acknowledged the best base burner ever
invented. 1t is too late, perhaps, to talk about
a new stove with which to cook your Christmas
turkey; otherwise it might be mentioned that in
addition to the most approved cooking stoves he
has the celebrated Richmond ranges. Mr.
Frankem has. also, the sole agency for John
Vans ranges and culinary utensils for hotels,
restaurants and eating-houses. Those who are
troubled with cold feet will be pleased to learn
that as special Christmas gifts ne has brought
on a new and large invoice of ''soap-stone foot
warmers" These are easily carried, and in ad-
dition to home use render sleigh riding and
church going agreeable even in the coolest
weather.
Albert Kuhn, the we'll known grocer at No.
40 North Illinois street, calls attention to the
fact that on this occasion he is fully prepared to
meet all holiday requirements, and asks his pa
irons to bear that fact in mind.
Sindliunger Brothers, at their meat markets,
No. AZ North Illinois street, No. 207 West
Michigan street and No. 467 South Meridian
street, are ready for Christmas with an unusual
ly fine line of meats, got ready especially for the
feasting consequent upon the holidays. This
firm has long maintained the reputation of sell
ing the best meats N the Indianapolis market,
and their reputation will be increased by their
fine array of Christmas meats. They will show
specially fine meats in the way of beef, lamb,
veal, mutton and roasting pigs. They may also
be depended upon for hams, bacon and all kinds
of sausage.

TWO NOTED MINSTRELS.
What They Say About
Stage Life.

From Stage Whispers.
'Billy" Emerson has recently made q phe-

Emerson was born at Belfast in 1916. He

jumped into prominence in connection with
Newcombs Ministries with whom he visited
Germany. He visited Australia in 1874 and
on his return to America joined Haverly's

and expenses. With this troupe he played
before her Majesty, the Queen, the Prince of
