ED IN ONE FELL SWOOP.
Extra Spreads at the Charitable and
Penal Institutions The Boys
Club Enjoy q Feast.

The various public institutions yesterday
paid some attention to the holiday char
acter of the day In the way, at least, OF a
better dinner than usual, or with some
special service in addition. The Woman's
Prison n Reform school for Girls had
special entertainments in each Of its two
departments, the prisoners giving a series
of songs, declamations, etc., and last night
the girls gave an amateur theatrical, the
dinner had a whole drove of turkeys as a
center piece.
The Indianapolis Orphan Asylum had a
special service before the little fellows
sat down to a feast in which eight turkeys
figured in a large and appetizing measure.
The inmates of the poor farm devoured
forty-one turkeys. The wards at the Col
ored Orphans Home had a dinner that in
Guided everything except possum. the tur-
key not being excepted. The prisoners at
the workhouse did not ave turkey, but
they had a change from the regulation
diet in the form of tenderloin. pumpkin
pie, etc. They were allowed some special
privileges. The prisoners in the county
Jail had a feast of turkey and othe- good
things, winding up with cigars, which they
were above to enjoy In the free range OF
the corridors. The patients at the Central
Hospital for the Insane were given a dance
In addition to a turkey dinner. The attend
ants had q dance last night.

THE GAME IN DETAIL.
Some Excellent Sport for Those who
Like Struggling.

Like Slugg1n8.
Enthusiasts OF the game who delight to
witness a smuggling contest were given an
excellent exhibition, but to the average
spectator the playing was too savage for
enjoyment. Like all football games, wher
the elevens are evenly matched, there was
punching. pounding, striking. kicking and
pulling of hair. AT several critical stages
of the game the players lost their heads
to use an expression of their own, signify
ing a ratified condition of the football por-
ton of the brain. Nichols, of the Artillery
team, objected TO a decision Of referee Mer-
rill Moores and drew back as though to
strike that official, but members of his own
eleven seized him and begged him to return
to his position. At another time Clifford.
OF Butler. was running with the ball, and
umpire Evan Wooden got in his way. Gift
ford drew back and slapped Wooden on the
side of the head, knocking his hat twelve
feet away. but both OF these incidents, as
well as the several disputes mat arose,
were due to the excitement of the game,
and not to any bad feeling that exists be-
tween the players of the teams. Artillery,
however. was somewhat rougher than the
collegians. Little mercy was shown the
players Of either eleven. When u man was
thrown he was jumped upon and pounded,
and his head showed into the mud.
Early in the second half of he game Be
vile, left guard for Butler. was led from
the field completely exhausted. Being a
star player, he had been made a mark.
Smith was placed in his position. Now,
Smith is not a college man, but a butcher
living in Irvington. He stands about six
feet and three inches. has immense shoul-
ders. and is as strong as a horse. While
the college team was in training he watched
them and became interested in the game,
and in time the students became interested
in him. He has practiced With them several
times, and the Butler boys had him on
hand in case OF an emergency. He got
right into the game and handled the Ar
tillery boys with ease. Once Somerville
was running with the ball but Smith seized
him, lifted him from his feet and threw
him in the mud. SOmmerville fell with a
splash but arose uninjured.
To the surprise or everybody who has
watched the work of the two elevens in
games played this season, the Artillery
team did most OF the running and Butler
made the rushes. Buffers line. IL was
thought, would go down before that of the
Artillery, while Butler would depend upon
rapid movements for their success. But
there was a weak spot in the Artillery
line and Butler made for IL each time.

Indiana and Ohio was played in the East
End ball park at Cincinnati, o., between
the Shamrocks of that city and the Gale

tory for the Indianapolis team by a score
of 1 goal to o. In spite of the counter attrac-
ton of a Rugby game between the Wes-

sigma chr, Theater Party.

The Sigma CHS of Butler University
gave q theater party. last night, in honor
of Manager Rocker, of the football team,
Captain Hall, Acting Captain Cullom and
Left Emo Freeman, all Of whom are MEM
bers of the Sigma Chi fraternity. The But
Ter people consider that great credit is
due to Manager Rocker and Captain Hall
for the success of the team, whose position
in the State association has been raised
from fourth place to second. 10 Manager
Rocker is due credit for securing j. NJ.
Flint as coach, after Butler had been. with
out a coach for years. Captain Hall has
been most faithful in his work with his
team, although Cullom has been giving
the signs during the greater part of the
season, and 1t has been largely on account
of his excellent headwork that Buffers
scores have been so large.

A team of horses. hitched TO a hack be-
longing to Lee Hoffman. while standing
opposite the Denison on Pennsylvania
street last night. became frightened and
ran away. The driver was standing in the
shelter OF a doorway at the time. When
the horses turned south on Monument
place off OF Market street the hack struck
a pile OF stones, was upset n badly
wrecked. The horses broke away and con-
tinued to run. They were last seen going
north on Capitol avenue.

RAIN FROZE ON THE WIRES.
Street-Car Service Crippled by the
Sleet Which Formed.

The street-car traffic was seriously de-
layed last night by the rain which froze
upon the trolley wires. The crowds return
ing from the theaters were greatly incon-
venienced and many had to walk. On sew
eral of the lines the cars had to run
coupled together in groups In order TO
make any progress. The first cars would
break the Ice and those in the rear furn-
ished the power. 1t was a great night for
the hackmen. The trolley wire on the IL
linois-street line, near Market street, broke
and caused much excitement by an cleo
trical display.

The Light Artillery. which has been so
successful at football this season, has de-
cided to have I'm eleven in the field again
next year. More attention. will be paid to
the training of the team, however. AL
ready the company is looking around for q
competent trainer. An Eastern coach Is to
be employed, and the football management
promises to put a team forth that can play
with the best elevens in the country. There
is plenty of good material id the company
TO make such a team.

member of that team, he used some harsh

men and hotel employees got between the
two angry men and separated them before
any further lighting was done.

AT THE BOYS, CLUB.
A Bountiful dinner Provided by

A Bountifu1 Dinner Provided by n
Christian EndeavOr Society.
TIL big dining-room at the Boys Club
was fraught with good cheer and a boun-
tiful repast at II O'Clock yesterday. One
hundred lads. ranging in age from eight to
seventeen years. sat down to the tables to
partake Of the Thanksgiving dinner pre-
pared by the Christian Endeavor Society of
the Tabernacle Church, assisted by q num-
Der OF philanthropic business men. The
one hundred youthful guests did not repre-
sent the comfortable homes of wealth; they
came from the street, the alley and from
every thoroughfare where the homeless lad
is wont to struggle for an existence. This
strange company of guests did not come
as bootblacks, newsboys or Arabs of the
street; they were there as Independent
American young men, guests Of a society
whose mission 1t Is to elevate manhood.
DIR. Rondthaler, who has done much for
the club. was at the head Of the long table,
his kind face fairly beaming with pleas

the lads as much Difference as IL they had
been ministers of state, instead of a lot of

of the boys was certainly ample compen-

Saloon Keepers Observed the Law.

Yesterday was unusually quiet In police
matters for Thanksgiving day. Everybody
seemed disposed to obey the law. A num-
Der of saloons were reported as open but
in only one could the police detect any vio-
lation of the law. d. X. Johnson was ar
rested for selling intoxicating liquors on a
legal holiday and was also charged with
selling to a minor. Only two drunken men
were arrested during the entire day. Su-
perintendent Powell says he never saw
such q quiet holiday.

1t was not many years ago that the ho-

Thanksgiving day, travelling men scurry-

their own firesides. Now the day is a heavy

legians coming to the football games fill
ing the hotel dining rooms, all Of the hotels
making extra preparations for the occa-
sion. The Bates had an elaborate menu for
its 6-o'clock dinner, from sucking pig to
diamond-back terrapin. The Grand and the
Denison also had extra service.
