MEETING OF TEMPERANCE WORKERS.
The Third-Party Movement Opposed by One
Who FavOrs Strict Prohibition.

The friends of the temperance cause held
enthusiastic and fairly wellattended meeting
yesterday afternoon in Van Sickle's Hall,
Clifford avenue There was goodly number
of singers present, who furnished excellent
music for the occasion. Albert Thayer presided
, over the meeting, and quite a number of short.
pointed speeches made. Besides this,
Mrs. Norman Tindan read several selections of
poetry. The meeting took an yesterday,
ligiouS turn, aud most of the speeches discussed
the question of intemperance from religious
and moral standpoint, though there was ten
dency with all the speakers to look at the ques-
tion to some extent in a political bearing. The
sentiment of the meeting was that moral suasion
lhad proved inadequate. and that the question
must now be forced into politics, though there
was evidently great difference of opinion to
Just how this ought to be done. Some thought
"a third party the proper and only way of grap-
ping with the question in earnest, while others
took practical and conservative view OF
the question. and thought that most real good
could be secured to the cause by actiugein con-
junction with temperance friends in the old
parties Upon this point j. l.. Moore made
iquite pointed and earnest speech. He began
by saying that be had sworn eternal enmity to
the rum traf1c; that it had invaded his home
and stricken down two of his brothers. and that
when bending over their graves he had
solved whenever opportunity offered, to strike
blow for tenn perAnce and temperance reform.
He professed, therefore, to be as good
friend to the temperance cause any one
and thought honest expressions of his views
were called for on this occasion He then pro-
ceeped to give briefly his reasons for opposing
the third.parsy movement. and why he thought
work with the old parties preferable and likely
! TO be followed with more beneficial results.
There were several other speakers, both ladies
and gentlemen, among them Albert Thayer.
who spoke THE Cruel Treatment of
Patients at the Insane Hospital"
Mr.. Thayer recited several instances where
patients had been crueIly and outraesously
&rao I'D hxvf1 al and 6r11r
showed several instruments of punishment in Bhe
way of whips. old pieces of rubber-hose. and other
articles with which it had been customary to
strike patients He recited instance in &.
particular of lady patient who had been pun
ished by a brutal attendant by being struck with
an old shoe in which great number of sharp
tacks were protruding. causing liberation of the
flesh in most shocking and brutal manner.
This thing. he said, was brought to the atten-
ton of the authorities out there, but the at
tendant was not removed nor even reprimanded.
He spoke at some length of the cruelties prac-
ticed at the institution aud thought the peoples
Of the State ought TO arise in their might and
expel the Harrison gang from the management.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
If the author Of the Infamous circular issued
last week against Captain Many will step around

lions are true will give him 81 for each word
contained said circular. This proving
around the day before election like thief at
night is not manly. fair or just warfare. and
Republicans are too wise to be caught trapped
into scratching ticket by such an anonymous
circular where the author Was ashamed to sign

A MIDNIGHT INTRUDER.
The House Of w. p. Hooton En-
tered by Strange Visitor
at 2 a. m. Monday.

w. P. Heoton, who lives in the
western surburbs, was awakened
about 2 O'Clock Monday morning
by some one humping rudely on
his bedroom door. The door opens
on porch on the east of the house.
The person on the porch asked to
be admitted, saying that some one
was shooting at him. Mr.. Hooton
jumped from his bed and told the
man that he could not let him in.
The stranger pleaded with Hooton;
he said he was nearly frozen and
that his life was in danger. Hooton
told him to go to the stable where
be could find comfortable quarters
in the hay. The intruder assented
but instead of going to the barn
went around to the back of the
house. He entered summer
kitchen, the outer door of which is
always open, passing through to
the dining room, which joins
Hooton's sleeping room, on the
west. He was met in the dining
room by Mr.. Hooton, who demand
ed his business. The stranger
made no answer but stood still in
the middle of the room. The in
truder was a great, six-footer,
whose fierce, wild expression thor
oughly frightened Mr.. Hooton.
Finally the stranger pointed in the
direction ofa window and shouted:
"There are the men who tried to
shoot me {"
Hooton took his eyes off the man
long enough to look in the direction
indicated, but saw no one. He
became satisfied that the man was
crazy and began to devise plan Of
getting him out of the house. He
took hold of his arm and led him
toward the door. The man made
no resistance and was led peaceful.
" out. After the doors had been
securely fastened Hooton returned
to bed. Tuesday morning at
O'clock, when he arose, he. found
the intruder of the night before
sitting on the step outside the
door. He gave his name as Ed
Shafer and his home as Columbia
/ Mo. He told astrange story of be.
ing knocked off the top of Wa
bash freight train by two tramps
how he was pursued and shot at
Mr.. Hooton gave Shafer a goot
breakfast, after which he left. HI
has not since been heard of.
