INGENIOUS BEGGARS.
Two Incidents That for Their Ingenuit
Stand Unriyaled.

Two Incidents That for Their Ingenuity
Stand Unrivaled.
Have you ever been accosted in the
! street by a seedy, dilapidated indi-
vidual with a luminous nose and a
husky voice, who opened on you some
thing in this style: Excuse me. sir,
but could | have few minutes CONVEX
sation with you? / have not always
been thus. etc. OF course you have.
You know in a minute that he is a pro-
fessional beer worker. You have some
respect for the haggard, brawny fellow
who says frankly: Il am hungry and
thirsty" and seldom let him 60 empty

occur to me that for their ingenuity
stand unrivaled. The first one oc-
CURED at Chicago a year ago last
winter. The writer, in company with
friend, was standing one Sunday
evening on the steps of the Clarendon
Hotel when very tough-looking man
approached with weeks growth of
beard on his face and said: Il am

Joliet prison. / want ten cents for
drink, ten more for a bed. ten for
cocktail in the morning. and ten fer a
sandwich, forty cents in all. Nv

or shall / have to try further?" The
supreme cheek of the man gained him
the amount asked. The other incident
was in Union Square Park. New York,
as party of Us were coming from the
theater. We were stopped by a ragged
individual with a small kitten in his
arms. He opened the conversation

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journals
My attention was called to an editorial
in your paper this morning, one sentence Z
which reads: "The free-trade bias of GER
tain members of the faculty seems not To
have influenced" etc. Quite large num-
Der of the people over the State are labor
ing under the impression that the State
University is sort of free-trade school.
This is a sad mistake. and trust a few re-
marks on the subject may not be amiss.
The department of social science and eco
Monies at this institution is one of only n
very few such departments in American
colleges. 1t was raised to it's present high
standard by Prof. A. b. WoOdford. who has
had charge of it for the past four years
True, Prof WOodford is free trader, but he
did not try to lead his classes astray. He
gave his views on the tariff question oc-
casionally, but only at the special request
of his students. He secured for the uni
versity the Golden medal. prize given each
year by the Golden Club, of England. to
the member of the senior class who presents
the best paper on certain topics in political
economy. In each instance it has been
awarded to protectionist.

Republicans and prOtectiOnists, and | vent
ure to say not one has been changed by the
teachings OF any of the professors. Homer

were not interfered with by the free-trade
bias. The State University is not free

Her next move was to better the condi-
ton of the pauper children in the poor

her efforts that the law was passed author
ing county commissioners to prepare homes
for these children outside of the poor
houses. She organized at Spiceland the
Henry county home. being the first one of
the kind in the State. She was a woman of
great executive ability, and made the home

years ago. when her health and vitality
failed because of her continued hard work.
Thousands of sick and wounded soldiers
have been ministered to and made comfort

taken from lpOor-houses have. through her
efforts found homes in good families and
been brought mp to be useful men and
women. She closed her useful life victim
to lifelong hard work in the cause of hu-
manity. She was an honorary member of
Harmon Rayl Post, G. A. R., and member
of the Hicksite branch of the Society of
Friends.

impression has got abroad somehow that
his stay is to be q long one, and that he will
not be likely to come to Washington. unless

fore the middle of August Owing to the
fact that the impression gained ground to-
day that Cabinet meeting was to be held.
there were few official callers. and only one
Congressman, 80 far as is known, put In his
appearance in the presidential sanctun.
There was the usual public reception this
afternoon, and quite a number of visitors
said goodbye to the President, and all
wished him q pleasant and enjoyable vaca-
fiOn.
