WOMAN IN MUNICIPAL REFORM.

Nast's Weekly thinks the best and
surest way for women to take part in
national affairs is to pull together ener-
getically in municipal reform work.
Even in New York. where they can ex-
pect no favors from TammaDy, they
have succeeded. by persistent agitation,
in having STRENGTHENING and other
sanitary laws enforced. The possibility
of visitation of cholera this year has
reused to action the women of several
cities, and they are looking into the de-
tails of municipal housekeeping with a
keenness of vision that will permit
no slip-shod ways to be overlooked.
Already the women of Detroit
have found that the ventilating
machinery of some of the public schools
is entirely inadequate and other sani-
tary conditions atrociOus. If there is
one public building more than another
in whose condition women have a right
to concern themselves it is the school
house, and investigation would prob
ably disclose an unsatisfactory state of
affairs in the schools of many another
city than Detroit. In forming a society
for the sanitary improvement of the
city Indianapolis women are only fol-
lowing the example of their enterprsing
and public-spirited sisters elsewhere.
There is plenty of work for them TO do
here. and there is no better place for
them to begin than in using their
influence TO secure the removal
of the snow from Washington street.
With the mixture of salt scat
tered by the street-car management
and the sand already on the pavement
the street has become almsst impassa-
bic TO pedestrians. A few years ago a
protest was made by local physicians
against the use of salt for track clean
ing purposes, but the protest was never
needed. Whether it is unhealthful OF
not, the results of its use are very I'M
pleasant in various ways to people
obliged to be OH the streets, and the
snow should be removed without wait
ing for thaw that will flood the thor

STATE APPEAL OF THE GRAND ARMY.

If any one expected that the veterans
connected with the Grand Army in In
diana would not be in favor of making
the National Encampment State affair
by State appropriation such person
knows very little about the men who
make up that organization. As veter-
ans who served in Indiana regiments
and veterans who have practically be-
come Hoosiers since the war by resi-
dence in the State, they desire to enter
tain the veterans of all the country as a
State organization. The prompt action
of so many posts in urging the Legisla-
ture TO make an appropriation for the
encampment justifies the assumption
that the veterans of Indiana regard the
matter as one which concerns the whole
State, and that veterans in Fort Wayne,
Evansville, Terre Haute and all the
smaller towns regard themselves, as In
diana veterans, as hosts in the
coming entertainment as much as
those of indianapolis. They know that
the success of the entertainment will be
OACuitCu W thc nOSpltdi-
ity of the whole State. They also know
that if the entertainment falls short of
the standard set by reasonable and sin-
telligent men all Indiana, and not Indi-
annapolis alone, will be criticised. The
veterans of the rest of the State were
as Jealous in urging comrades at the
Washington encampment to come to
Indianapolis as were those living in the
city. Veterans from all the other posts
in the State will be here as entertainers
rather than entertained. They will be
active in providing proper entertain
| ment for comrades and friends from
other States. These are the considcra-
tons which have led to the very general
and very earnest appeal to the Legisla-
ture to make an appropriation in aid of
the encampment. The glory of Indiana
in the war and present State pride are
moving the Grand Army of Indiana
rather than any local iealOusies.

scription. for do not believe in physicians
Or their treatment. Furthermore, am not

my child, believe He has another object
in taking her away" Mr.. Orne stated that
he had healed his children at other times

and prayer, and believed if 1t had been
