Institution Opened.

The managers of the Friends Boarding
Home for Girls opened their home yester-
dGy afternoon to the public. The home IS
a large three-story frame building, No 155
North Illinois street. After quite a num-
ber of the friends of the institution had
gathered the devotional exercises were
opened by Mrs. Robert Reese. and then
Mrs. r. w. Furnas. who has been an act
i've worker for the home ever since the
movement was started, read a paper de-
scribing the similar homes in different parts
Of the United States. Mrs. j. ]. Brown,
president of the board of managers gave
an interesting talk setting forth the rea-
sons the women had in starting the home.
There seemed to be organizations for every
class of persons except the young women
without homes. and so this home was
started. 1t has been successful from the
beginning, and since IL was moved from
Market street there have been more appli-
cations than can be accommoda ted. The
house has twenty rooms, and at present
there are twenty-siX young women there
The matron is Miss Lizzie Johnson. The
home is neatly furnished and is cheerful
in appearance. The reception yesterday
was TO arouse interest among the women of
the city in the work which is now chiefly
carried on by the members of the Friends
Church.

Superintendent Powell and Posse At.
forwards Fight with the Gang.

yesterday afternoon, about o'clock. five
tramps entered the office of the Terre Haute
Brewing Company, at the intersection of
west street with the Vandalia railroad
tracks and said they desired to purchase a

manner reached the unlocked safe.
unobserved by the other employees of the
office. The two tramps seized small sack
containing SIS and quickly left the office,
Immediately followed by the three with the
keg of beer. The five went to the low
grounds west of the river between the Van
dalia and /. & st. l.. railroad tracks and
proceeded to divide the contents of the
purse and drink the beer. In the mean
while the police were notified by Jack

OF the tramps who were merrily drinking
the beer. AS soon as the engine stopped
the trampS started TO run, as they knew at
once that the officers were after them. The
officers pursued them, all the while order
ing them to stop, emphasizing the demand
with a number of revolver shots. The de-
mandS were not needed and the officers
were compelled to sprint. Three of the
tramps were captured after running fight

LUNA is TOO TICKLE
Board of Works May Order an ALL
Night Electric Light Schedule.
A Rim of the Moon Will Not Answer for
Light ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Wire Movement.

It is probable that within the near future
the glare Of the electric light will not be
shut off by the glimmer OF the moon. The
moonlight schedule has always been an
abomination, and the city authorities are
considering the advisability OF abolshing 1t
and contracting for lights the entire night
and every night in the year. The contract
with the light company provides that notice
from the tower watchman that the moon
is not shining shall be conclusive proof of
that fact to the company and, upon receipt
Of such notice. the company shall turn on
the current and let there be Hight. Whether
the aIl-night schedule is adopted or not, the
company will no longer be permitted to
shield itself behind the moonlight clause and
shut off the lights when but suspicion OF
moon appears in the heavens, modestly
concealed behind a bank of clouds Since
the adoption of the moonlight schedule resi-
dents of the city have at times been ac-
customed to ascertainlng whether or not 1t
was a moonlight night by observing whether
the electric lights were burning.
President Wildman. of the Board of Pub
lie Works, was asked yesterday whether it
was the intention TO abolish the moonlight
schedule or not. He replied: 'Such a step
is now being considered. but no conclusion
has been reached. 1t is possible that all
night schedule will be adopted. There is one
thing certain, the tower watchman will be
instructed to exercise his power to order
the lights turned on, and the company will
not be permitted to shut them off every
time a bit of a moon as big as ones hand
appears in the sky"
The contract with the company under a
moonlight schedule anticipated the possibil-
ity Of II proving unsatisfactory, and con-
tanned a provision that the city might after
wards adopt an all-night schedule by the
payment of $40 per annum additional for
each lamp

 SPRINGFIELD Oct 25.-Frank E. Carey, of Greenfield. Mass, was arraigned before United States Commissioner John l.. Rice in this city yesterday afternoon charged with using the United States mails for fradulent purposes. His identity was es- tablished, and he wa. bound over to the February term of the United States court in Burlington. Vt, under Sl, 500 bonds. In default of bonds he was sent to the Suffolk County jail. Carey inserted this advertisement in a number of papers:
 Florence Whipple. box 313. Green field Mass, young lady of good social standing, wishes to hear from gentlemen of all ages. No objection to widowers, No trlhers need apply"
 An answer would be received from some young man, and 'Florence" would write a gushing reply. Correspondence followed. and soon Florence" saId if she received enough money to cover her car fare she would come to see the fellow at his home. This usually brought fortl. money order. and Carey would go to the postofiice with an order. duly signed by Florence Whipple." and secure the money. This was continued for some time until a cer- tain Mir Lane of Burlington, Vt. sent an inquiry to the postmaster at Greenfeld asking who Florence WhiPpls was. No one but Lane could be induced to say any thing about tue letters they had written to Florence. or any money they might have sent her. The smooth work of Carey comes in the fact that there Is a bona fide Florence whippIe in Greenfield. the daughter of F. whipple. She IS an es. timable girl and is deeply chagrined to have the advertisements appear in the paDers
