IN ITS NEW HOME.
HercuIean Republican Club, COIored,
Has n House Warming.


The Herculean Republican Club, COM
posed of enterprising young colored men,
installed itself in it's new home
at No. 354 Douglass street last
night. I When the club was organized
some three months ago the members began
TO look around for a suitable location for
a home. The substantial two-story house
of seven rooms at the above number was
selected and the work of furnishing it
commenced. Yesterday the club found
itself ready to take possession of it's house
and prepared for a gala time. The two
lower front rooms, to be used as reception
rooms. are richly carpeted. The other two
lower rooms are carpeted with mating and
will be used for the meetings of the board
of directors and the officers. The three
upper rooms nave been furnished in the
same way and will be used for billiards
and other games. The entire house has
been neatly papered, and the furniture
throughout is of oak. Last night the front
lawn was Illuminated with lighted Japanese
lanterns. The interior was decorated with
bunting, flags and flowers.
Up to 9 o'clock the members devoted
themselves to entertaining their friends,
cigars were served. AT 8 o'clock the pres
ident. Joseph Broyles, called those present
to order 10 hold a short jollitication meeting.
In a short talk he stated that the purpose
of the club is to give it's members a place
for social enjoyment and to afford a study
of political and literary topics. Hon. George
Knox. in an address that created much in
terest. said the colored people have in
thirty years progressed as much as the
white neople did in four hundred. He at
tributed this to the Republican party.
Among others who spoke were W.. w.
Christy and Gabriel Jones. After the
speeches a musical programme was fur
nished. The club numbers 126 members and
has prospects of a growing future. The
officers are: President. Joseph III Broyles;
vice president, Thomas Pratt: secretary,
James Shelby; treasurer, William Lewis,
and sergeant-at-arms. William Finley. There
is a board of five directors that controls
the business interests of the club.

Mr.. Fesler's nomination was made unani-
nous and the committee then adjourned.
James w. Fesler is one of the youngest
men ever nominated for this important
and very desirable office. He was born in
September, 1864, and is therefore just past
his thirtieth birthday. His parents lived in
Morgantown, Morgan county, when he was
born, and soon afterwards moved to Frank
lin, Johnson county,, where the boy grew
10 manhood. He had secured the basis of
a good education in the public schools Of
the town and from them entered Franklin
College. Here he completed the sophomore
year and then entered the junior year at
the State University, at Bloomington, where
he finished the classical course in 1887. Set
thing in this city he entered the law office
Of Harrison, Miller & Elan and was there
for nearly three years. He opened an office
OF his own in the spring of 1890 and about
a year ago formed a partnership with Z. T..
stevenson, the firm name being FesleF e
Stevenson, with an office in the Commercial
Club block. Mr.. FeSler has been active in
the party organization of the last six years
and, besides serving as the secretary and
president Of the Marion Club. which he
helped TO organize, was the secretary of the
county Republican committee in 1892 and
was elected as chairman of the congression-
al district committee and is, ex officio. a
member or the State central committee.
He is extremely popular, especially among
young men, being sympathetic and frank
In all his relations with his fellows. He
is well fitted to serve the people In the
capacity for which he was nominated.

SPREADING THE PERFUMES.
Copies of the Sentinel at Mt. Henry's
Noon Meeting.

Mr.. Henry's noon-hour meeting yester-
day was held near the corner of Madison
avenue and Ray street in front of the
Dean works. About 40 voters from that
factory and others in the vicinity gave
Mr.. Henry the closest attention while he
spoke for twenty-five minutes until the
whistles called them to work. The dis
tribution OF the S~entinePS perjured afii-
davits gave Mr.. Henry an opportunity to
say that one of the makers of the SEN
tinels affidavits had confessed that he
had perjury in accusing him
and made oath TO IL. This reduced the
periuries to three. which could not stand
in the face OF affidavits from twenty-nine
employees contradicting them and the
action Of the window glass blowers OF
Anderson. At noon to-day Mr.. Henry will
speak near the Nordyke & Marmon fac
tory in West Indianapolis.

No More Rent Paying

An agreement has been made between
Chairman Moores, of the Republican county
committee, and Chairman Hoffman, of the
Democratic committee. to protect them
selves from the "bleeders'' who annoy the
party managers with demands that their
rent be paid else they will move, and lose
their votes. Whenever a voter approaches
either and threatens to move his name will
be given to the other chairman, and when
he offers to vote he will be challenged by
both sides on the ground that he has Of
fered to sell his vote.

City and County Treasurership Not
Liked by Dir. Trusler.

1.-The combination of the city treasurer
ship with the county tr~easurership was not
a good thing in many ways" said City
Controller Trusler yesterday. There is
100000 standing out as delinquent taxes
due the city, but the treasurer is making
no effort TO collect 1t. The county business
takes all his time and every employee in the
Office considers himself as employed by the
county and not the city. 1t was a measure
OF political expediency by a Democratic
Legislature to consolidate the offices, be-
of carrying this city"

Robbery.

Louis Hem. a driver for Jacob Metzger
& Company. who disturbed the police with
the startling story Monday afternoon that
he was held up and robbed of s17.s5 on the
Michigan road not far from Fall creek,
has confessed that he lost the money in a
crap game at Thompson's ~roadhouse.
When he reported the story Chief Splann
gave II no credence and detailed detectives
10 work on it, Hem stated that after he
was robbed he returned TO Thompson's
and reported his loss. and that on leaving
there ne followed the tracks Of the robbers
through the c0rnfield. The detectives
learned that Hem did not return to
Thompson's. Hem was taken before Chief
Splann yesterday. mt when he was con-
fronted with the facts In the case he broke
down, and, amid sobbing said he had lost
the money In the crap game, and that he
had c0ncocted the story Of the robbery to
hide his misdoings- Mr.. Metzger refused
10 prosecute Hem. but discharged him.

PROUD OF THEIR JERSEYS.
Indiana Breeders Association Holds al
Adjourned Meeting.

The Indiana Jersey Cattle-breeders' AS
ISOLATION met in an adjourned session at the
Grand Hotel last night. d. III. Jenkins,
president of the association, presided and
talked Of matters relative to the soft-eyed
Jersey. All of the business left unfinished
at the May meeting of the association was
brought up last night and disposed of.
George Jackson, of this county, addressed
the meeting on the question OF milk purity.
He had investigated closely and was proud
to say that the milk OF the little Jersey
was far superior to any other. Last year
when this city was agitated over the re-
ported impurities in milk an investigation
resulted In q triumph for the Jersey COW.
Seven per cent. of butter fat was found in
DR.. d. CT. Wooden talked of the diseases of
Jersey cattle from a scientific point of
view. He spoke particularly of tuberculosis
and in-breeding.
5. w. McKibbin, of Augusta, KY, gave
the association the benefit of observations
formed from a thirty-five years expert
ence with the Jersey breed. James T.
Riley, of Thorntown, advocated the cultiva-
ton of scarlet clover as a profitable food
for the Jersey. Scarlet clover. he thought.
was best for a perpetual yield. 1t was SUI
perlor to the old varieties in many points.
To-day the association will conduct the an
nual Jersey stock sale at Johnson's sale
barn, No. 400 East Washington street.

noon a band was stationed in the park to
dispense quantities Of music with the hope
of inspiring enough courage into those who
might chance to pass by to enter. The
band played until 1880 o'clock and had sue
ceeded in getting eight people inside the
parks confines. Bailey was the first OF
the speakers to arrive. He received a chill
ly reception, and started to make a talk.
Just as he finished the first few sentences
his coworker, Mr.. Rogers, appeared on
the scene, and Oh seeing the ridiculously
small audience shouted to Bailey TO stop
speaking and accompany him to the city.
This Bailey was glad to do, and the meet
ing, if such it could be called, broke up in
very short order.

earnest attention and was often interrupted
with vigorous applause.

q merry evening ii the following way.
 writes Mrs. Lymai Abbott in the No-
 vember Ladies' Hone Journal. AS each
 person entered the room paper With
 a name distinctly printed on 1t was pin-
 ned upon the back. Thus everyone else
 but the wearer c,uld see the name.
 and all conversion was addressed
 to the person namel on the paper The
 faces were a curiots study as each one strove to guess his own name. while ne piled his companions with such aues-
 tions about himsef as could be an- swcred by yes and 10. Puzzled to know himself he enjoyed his opportunity to puzzle others. and glibly talked to one another of scenes and events connected with the name whi'h grew heavier and heavier on their backs as time went on without revealing the secreat. There were about a hundred persons present, and the characters selected for them were from the past as well as the pres ent-Adam, Abraham. Shakespeare, Mil- ton. Cromwell, Lowell. Tennyson. Dick ems, Grant. Clevelind. and others Of more local fame. II order to pair on" the company each Iame was given both to gentleman and lady, and 1t added to the amusement that one could look for his companion while he was in igno- rance of his own appellation. After the guessing was finish,d the company was seated In pairs, and new quest was started. A cent was handed to each couple. and they were required to Ind on the coin certain things described upon a blackboard which was placed within the sight cf all In the room. Thus the things to be looked for on the face of the cent were: A Jewish tab- ernacle, the edge Of a hill, emblem of royalty, bulbous plants, company Of musicians another name for matrimo- ny. what the Puritains sought, narrow tract of land, instruments of punish ment, two sides of vote, youth and age, first to greet Columbus, geograph- ical division, small animal tropical fruit. On the back: A messenger, sym bol of victory, mode of punishment, a weapon, piece of armor, part of book, devoted young man, one division of log line, what children dislike to learn
 Simple prizes were given to those who discovered the entire list, and also to those who failed most completely Appropriate prizes for game Of this description might consist of bright new silver, nickel and copper coins, or of photographs of the celebrated charac- terS who are represented.

-77------------- HE HAD THE PRICE.

Those who know how openly and nagrantly the law f6fbidding the sale of intoxicating liquors on Sunday has been violated in some parts of the city will appreciate the answer made to a question by a young man who was witness in the City court yes terday. He had testified that he went into saloon on Grand avenue on Sunday afternoon to get glass of beer. The attorney for the saloon keeper asked him how he knew he could get beer there on Sunday, and the answer came promptly and with utter inconsistencies of its full mean ing: Because had the money to pay for it." The entire absence from this answer of any thought of the law con- corning the selling of beer on Sunday indicates a state of things which has long been known to many who are not policemen. It is true that if the young man wanted a glass of beer on Sunday he wasn't obliged to con- slider the law. Five cents was all he paadaa

park 120 deer, 15O elk, 20 moose, 30 ante lope, 15 wild boars, about 20 buffaloes and few reindeer. The reindeer and the antelope are the only animals that failed to thrive, and the increase In some of the other species has been marvellous. It Is estimated that the deer and the elk now number 1000 head, the wild boars $50 and the buffaloes 60 head. MT. Buckingham stated that the special charge are the buffaloes. Dur ing the winter the buffaloes are handled like cattle and fed in corrals. The oth- CT animals are proving self-sustaining the year round.
 This year the park will be stocked with Rocky mountain sheep. A rather curious experiment which will be tried this season will be an attempt to cross the elk with a herd of European red deer. If successful, the result will be a magnificent animal. The only large animals which MT. Corbin has indulged in the sport of shooting have been few particularly ferocious stags and some of the wild boars.

THE GERM THEORY.

Many more or less ingenious explana- tions of Tuesday have been made and more will be. Some lay 1t to one thing and some to another. Gompers, the great labor leader, says that 1t was all owing to Cleveland's calling out the mi litary to put down the riots last sum- mer. And the New York Sun lays 1t to Cleveland's failure to call out at the right time and in the right way that he was a Democrat Curiously enough, none of the doctors who have diagnosed the case have thought of the popular and comprehensive germ theory. We think that much can plausibly be said in favor of this theory of the affair. The way the vote ran all over the country is strong evidence that the germ of Republicanism was at work. We don't know how fast this germ mul- tiplies, but many species of bacteria are capable of astonishing increase. For instance, it has been found that single bacterium would increase in only twenty-four hours to number but lit- tie short of 17,0OO, ,O0O. It looks to us as if the germ of Republicanism began to work early Tuesday morning and was active all day. What would have hap pened had the polls been kept open all | night nobody can tell All the men, wo- men and children in the country would probably have voted Republican tickets and the contagion might even have spread to the animals. The germ theory of the election is well worth looking into, and we hope it will be made the subject of Ia paper" by some Democrat ic scientist
