sIR:-We attended the musicale given
by the young ladies OF this Academy
last fall, and consequently We claim the
privilege of contrasting tho exercises Of
last evening with those Of the former
entertainment, which was passing
fair" and our decision is very favorable.
Thepupils have worked faithfully. The
improvement is simply beyond all ex.
pectations. We can sympathize with
the young ladies when doing their lest
in presence of parents and relatives, and
above all the exacting critic, because In
trying to do well the very effort makes
them fall below their own standard.
Therefore, making all allowances for
timidity and to concomitant train, We
have no hesitation in saying that the
programme was well performed and the
audience pleasantly entertained. To
particularize = something we would
rather not do when all do their best, but
rs there must be variety Of talent and
also its cultivation in so large u class
we give the following impressions, in
which We try to do justice to each young
lady:

state Clubs Did Yesterday.
II to-day is pleasant and the weather
is not too awfully cold, there will proba-
bly, be not less than 1000 people at
Island Park this afternoon to see the
much.talked about exhibition game be-
tween the Wheeling and Detroit base
ball teams. The Worlds Champions, as
they still call themselves, will arrive here
this morning from Pittsburgh. where
they have suffered three CALLING defeats
in the first four games OF the National
championship series. Yesterday they
won brilliant game. The three defeats
suffered have lowered them to certain
extent in the estimation Of the base ball
public here, and there are those who
predict that Wheeling will win to-day's
game. 1t is true that there
is such a possibility; while
the Wolverines are sluggers, 1t may
be that they will not be able to solve
Knauss' delivery. Knauss is said TO be
in splendid shape for to-day's contest
and will use his left arm for all that isin
him. Yak will catch him. The bal.
ance OF the team is in good shape and
taking things cody. Mr.. Simeon Sulli-
van, OF the Tri-State League umpire
corps, who has been assigned to Wheel
ing for the first fifteen games, has ar
rived and will umpire to-day's game.

A NOVEL PETITION.

Woman Seeks Authority to Sne the presi.
dent of tho United States for Libel
Special to the indianapolis JournsL
WAsHINGToN, Sept. 6.-Gensral Browne, Of
Indiana, will on Monday next introduce, by TO-
quest, most curious petition in the House. II
is a petition praying that powsr be given the
petitioner to sue the President of the United
States for libel. 1t is the work Of Mrs. Char
lotte Smith, who has gained considerable notice
as friend of the working women, and particu-
lary in her zeal in the cause of Mrs. Moore
O'Neil. Mrs. Smith, in this instance, Is the
champion OF Mary Ann Dougherty, whose pen
sion bill the President vetoed, on the ground
that she was disreputable character, having
been arrested seventeen times. This charge of the
President Mrs. Dougberty emphatically denies,
and TO have her wrongs righted went to the
woman's union here and laid her case before
them. ioviting the closest investigation. Mrs.
Smith took hold OF the case, and stated to-day
that she had made q personal search Of the rec
ords of the police court Of this city, where these
arrests are said to have been made. She states
that only in one instance does she find that
there has been o Mary Ann Dougherty arrested
for any cause. This was twenty years ago.
Mrs Doughsrty, she therefore thinks, has
perfect right to obtain damages. The petition
is very cleverly- -worded affair. 1t puts the
case on the broad ground that all citizens of the
United States are created free and equal, and
that public Office, no matter how high, should
not protect even the President in acts done TO
tho injury OF any citizen, no matter how lowly.

they will belong to no labor orsanization He
proved that Scott run hat is known as 'pluck
me" stores, which furnish goods at high prices
to laborsrs who are paid low wages and that he
has elected large numbers of labDrers from his

reports Of losses will continue to come in for
some time yet The officers OF the poston1ce
have teen very rstceut about making known the
extent of the losses. Whenever it has leaked out
that q large package was lost, those in
charge of the postofice have sought to keep the
information from the public. Nothing has been
heard of the three 1000 drafts mailed on FRI
day by Blake Brothers & Co., Of No. Nassau

but far without success Besides the Blake
notes. other letters containing money. checks
and drafts mailed about tho same time, are re-
ported as having failed to reach their destina-

dollars. A well-known man connected with tho

day that il the losses Of the last two mouths
were known, the public would be startled
