The Governor Urges the Soldiers Not to
Discount Their Warrants.

Governor Matthews leaves to-day for a
weeks visit in the East. A part of the
time will be spent in Boston. The Governor

ident of the Board of Tax Commissioners,
but until now he has not felt that it would
be wise to leave the State. Unless something
unlocked for turns UP to-day he will retire
one or two more companies of militia from
service at Hammond. Governor Matthews
declared last night that the militia would
receive their money during the latter part
OF August. While the statutes of the State
do not provide for the payment of militia
out of the general fund and make no spe-
cial provision for their compensation, the
Governor is determined that the younss
men shall not sacrifice a portion of their
Claims against the State by dscounting
them. In reference to this matter he said
last night:
IL have arranged to pay the militia be-
tween the 18th and 10th of August. / do
raised, but It will be forthcoming. 1t will
require something like $4,000 TO pay of
the men who were sent 10 the coal mines
and to Lake county. L am handicapped by
the peculiar construction of our laws, which
only allow contingent fund of 5000 for
such expenses. This fund was exhausted
during the KOby race riots. L want the
militia TO understand that they are to be
paid. Many of them need the money now
but hope they will not sell their accounts
TO men who Will exact an exorbitant COM
mission for collecting them. l don't believe
there will be any need of discounting the
warrants at all, because every dollar will
be paid between the dates 1 have named"

RUTH CLEVELAND AT THE CIRCUS.
The Baby Elephant Pleases Her More
Than Any Other Feature.

Ruth and Mrs. Cleveland attended the
performance of the Barnum & Bailey show
when it was in Washington, recently, and
the chronological congress returned the com
pliment by calling in body on the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Cleveland at the White
House. Though the circus was all very
wonderful to little Ruth. the thing which
she appeared to take the keenest delight in
was the performance of the baby elephant,
named after her, Ruth, which plays school
with the ponies and the dogs, and has a
whole lot of fun knocking one of the
clowns about the ring. There are a great
many features in the show this season
introduced, like these acts of the baby ele-
plant, especially to please the children.
The dropping of the spectacular feature
has made the enlargement and Frightening
of the programme possible. What pleases
the children also pleases the old folks, and
the performances which the Barnum d
Bailey show gives this season are declared
to be the best it has yet put before the
public At least it has just hit the popular
fancy. The big show, with it's chidren's
circus, its chronological congress, its mon
ster menagerie, the giant gorillas-Chiko
and Johanna-and all the other marvellous
and novel features will exhibit in Indianap-
oils next Monday.

he did not have any money for me. He

said he would buy something to eat first,

SIOUX CITY, July 25.-The "Huskers"
had their batting apparel on to-day and
made mark of Phillips. He was slugged
in the third inning for total of thirteen
bases scoring ten runs. Mills went into
the box, and although the Huskers" found
him easily he was not punished so severe
ly as Phillips, probably because there was
no necessity of scoring. Notwithstanding
that Phillips held Watkins's men down in
the Hoosier capital they have always found
him easy on the home ground. Hart pitched
strong ball, and the visitors were unable
TO bunch hits on him as they did on Cum
bingham, Tuesday. Shields went in and
played second when Phillips was relieved,
and Roat went to short. Score:
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1894-07-26

There is something about the pitching Of
Phillips away from home that is absolute
ly inexplicable. If he had been slaugh-
tered in but one or two games on foreign
grounds there would be no occasion for
wonderment as every pitcher has his off
day occasionally, but his continued bad
work on the trips should be cause for in
vestigatiOn. A pitcher who can do the
work he has shown himself capable of on
the home grounds should not be hammered
at will when away. The club officials
might find out what the trouble is if they
would take the matter in hand and give
it a thorough investigation. 1t has created
much talk, and the public would like to
know why the big pitcher, who is such a
favorite here, proves such an easy mark
as soon as he gets out of Indianapolis.
