THEY OBJECT TO TIGHTS.
w. C.. II. u. Members Want minors
Exhibitions Suppressed.
New York Evening Sun.

New York Evening Sun.
Mrs. Emile ID. Martin, national superin-
tendent OF the department of literature
ance Union, accompanied by her State
superintendent, Mrs. Pritcherd, called on
Mayor Schieren, of Brooklyn. and made
some demands of municipal reform in be-
half OF the school children. While they are
opposed TO all sorts of impurity, they were
1 fbea t eSpefla nGsts against nsI6ranrv,nng pictures womsn ana ia
tights. Mrs. Martin spoke chiefly as the
agent of a great society. Mrs. Pritcherd
told how a solicitous mother felt in regard
to the matter.
w represent $50, 600 pure women" Mrs.
Martin said, who want to see these i'm
moral things suppressed. i have been rec
ognized by Congress. by the Postoftice De-
partment and all over the United States.
There is a great sentiment in favor or
purity. You know Secretary Carlisle re-
fused to accept st. Gaudenss Columbian
figure because it represented a nude mar.
Now, If he wouldn't accept a nude man-if
that be too glaring-Surely We women have
a right to protect our forms. Degrade the
form of woman and you degrade the moth
err.
Mrs. Martin had a copy of the New York
law relating TO immoral exhibitions and
theatrical posters for Mayor Schieren 10
and posters all over Brooklyn came under
the ban of the law. The New York law
is a model law We only want 1T enforced:
The law provides for seizure, gives the right
to destroy, and then to arrest and punish
the offenders"
Mrs. Pritcherd said: eve hold that the
exhibition of these living pictures has no
more right to be continued than have
houses of prostitution. They are all on a
par. Coming down on a car his morning,
here in Brooklyn, we saw a theatrical
poster on a bill board representing a man
in tights. 1t was an awful sight. 1t is just
as bad TO represent a woman's form that
way. Our children see these things on
their way to school. More than this, a
mother can never know where her children
go when she is not with them. How does
she know her children are not in a public
hall, looking at these living pictures?"
Mrs. Martin and Mrs. Pritcherd do not
denounce the living pictures as people who
have never seen them. They went to see
Them. SO they could speak with full knowl-
edge of the facts.

SHIPMENTS FELL OFF
Light DECREASE IN FREIGHT
TRAFFIC. OF LOCAL LINES.
Shipments Of Poultry, Sugar, Grocer
les, Fruits and Vegetables Heavy
bedford Belt Acquisition.

The train records show that SO fewer
loaded cars were received and forwarded at
Indianapolis in the week ending Sept %
than in the week preceding, but 2,71 more
than i'm the corresponding week of 1893.
The decrease was wholly in local business,
which in the week ending Sept. q was un-
usually heavy, owing to the large number
of merchants who took advantage of the
low rates TO visit indianapolis and purchase
largely their fall and winter stocks. The
receipts of grain and live stock were not
as heavy last week as in the week pre-
ceding. Through business east-bound
SAC wed some increase last week, the ship
ments of flour. cerealine products, provi-
sions and produce being heaviest. One In
~dianapolis packing house last week shipped
twenty-five carloads Of eggs to Boston
and other Eastern markets, and the ship
ments Of poultry were heavy. Cotton is
going forward in considerable quantities,
and shipments OF live stock for Eastern
markets and export. are in excess OF last
year. West-bound the tonnage Is increas-
ing. This Is due to the fact that lower
class freights are moving in larger amounts
but this does not swell the revenue to the
extent that handling the higher class
freights does. Shipments Of sugars and
other heavy groceries are unusually heavy.
and the roads are handling more machinery
and iron structural work. However, the
manufacturers are shipping more goods and
receiving more timber in the rough and
other MATERIAL, such as they use in manu-
featuring furniture, carriages, bicycles, etc.
Commission merchants are also handling
large quantities of fruits and vegetables,
and there is nearer an old-time volume of
business with them than for many months.
AS business improves in the gas belt egion
and other large towns Of the State the re-
tail men are buying more literally on this
market, increasing outbound business. Be
low ia given the car movement for tho
weeks ending Sept. %, Sept. % and the cor
responding week last year:

Name Of Road.
GobbIed by the Bedford BELT.

What is believed to be an important
change I'm railroad interests in southern
Indiana is to be announced in the near
future. The Evansville & Richmond, which
has never paid operating expenses. to say
nothing of fixed charges, is, in name, to
disappear from the railroad maps of south
ern Indiana. This road extepds from FL
nora TO a cornfield in Decatur county, a
distance of 102 miles. and taps and parallels
the following lines: The Chicago & East
ern Illinois, the Monon, the Baltimore &
Ohio and the Louisville and Madison di-
vision of the Pennsylvania lines. As this
road has been operated independently of all
it's connecting lines II had to rely upon it's
local patronage, which has not been enough
to sustain 1t, and its ownership has passed
into the hands of the Bedford Belt Rail-
road Company. The Bedford Belt railroad
Is fourteen miles in length. and encircles
the city of Bedford, touching all the stone
quarries In that part of the State. The
name OF the new company will be the In
diana Stone Quarries and Bedford Belt
Railroad Company. This chang will take
effect on JAM I, and as the new company
will be in a position to control the ship
ment of Bedford stone it Is looked upon as
al important event.

The German servant girl in Chicago who
has married an Americanized Chinese may
not regret her act, as the CELESTIAL is usual
ly said to make a kind husband. Girls of
her class usually make marriages OF this
sort to secure an easy life, and as they are
not sensitive, they manage to escape the
moral suffering that falls to the lot of bet

Probably the worst victims of ill-assorted

To provide the necessaries of life, food,
shelter, decent clothing and the average
amOun of education for the child whom
we have called into the world without
consulting him is not enough to merit his
lifelong devotion and self denial. Such
provision is a moral obligation in simple
justice. To %rightfully possess our chill
dren's devoted affection we must deserve
1t by giving something beyond the neces-
sary care that an animal gives its helpless
young. We must enter into their inter
ests with sympathy, advise them without
personal prejudice and recognize the fact
that they are not merely our satellites, but
that they have a distinct personality and
inalienable individual rights as strong as
our own.
