general taxation is high enough. venture
to say that no man, who has been inter-

to do is to get an amendment to the char

pavement can be laid.
There would be no injustice in this. /
haven't a piece of property on q newly

has almost doubled in value. Even
If the club should ask for and
obtain a higher rate of taxation

Attractions nj the Theatara-

A valuable acquisition to the Reilly &
Woods Company will be Miss Maud Gill
bert. who arrived here last night to join
the company. She is q clever soubrette,
and during a long engagement with Ala
bama' created q success. She will make
her first appearance tomorrow night. One
feature of the speciality exhibition now at
the Empire is the scenic parapbernalia
used IN 'Hades and the Four Hundred"
which has caused much talk.

lar actor who comes to indianapolis, Will
play at this house IN "A Gilded FOol" lnewl
and The Nominee" and there are indica-
tions from the advances sale of seats. which
began yesterday, that his engagement will
be "a most successful one. In "A Gilded
Foop he is credited with having found
that for which he long has sought. an orig
inal comedy that tits him exactly.
Theirs are sensational features in Joseph
Arthur's Blue Jeans" which will be the
attraction at the Grand Opera-honse all
next week. but the chief att~ractiveness In
the play is it's natural characterizations
and strong human interest. In this respect
no play of recent production equals il. the
company playing / Q is an unusually strong
one. and the original production will be
given. There Is already q large demand
for seats.
"One of the Bravest." the fire drama

Another old landmark is gone. The tall

to catch a glimpse of the stone structure,
until it appeared above it, was torn dow

p~ortunity to improve the grounds about
the base of the now towering pile. This
psiissde has for a long time surrounded

AN INTERVIEW 1T DID NOT WANT.
Sentinel Slips Up I'm It's Business of Obtain
ing News by False Pretepses.
The law Furnishes a man for obtaining
money or goods under false pretenses. and
1t Furnishes a man for impersonating an
officer. There Is no law against obtaining
information under false pretenses, nor
against impersonating q reporter, but in
newspaper ethics nothing Is considered
more dishonorable or despicabie than an
effort To get news by pretending TO repre-
sent q newspaper with which one has no
connection. Reporters for the Indian
apolis Sentinel have been guilty
of the sort of thing In sever
al recent instances that might DO specified.
and have rather felt proud OF obtaini ng
political information upon the pretense of
being journal reporters. and then garbling
il TO suit the purposes OF the paper ems
ploying them. In plying this pleasing
trick yesterday the sentinel ran up against
something of n snag. liz had In its yester-
day mornings issue n wild fairy story TO

ketcham, Brown.& Co. works, At Haugh-
vile. was in the pay of the Republican

foreman of the works had been com mand-
ed by Mr.. Ketcbam to give n place To this
workman. Now. IL happens that the fore

fluential Democrats IN Haughville, a plain
and honest man, who despIses any thing
like deception aud lies. When he saw the
article he was indignant and angry.

ably sent 10y the Sentinel TO learn il IL
