they have, whether they build them near
the ground or in more inaccessible places.

WEALTH AND SOCIAL WELFARE.
Lecture by Rev. r.. L. Deyvhurst Be-
fore the Progress Club.

Yesterday afternoon Rev. f. e. Dewhurst,
of Plymouth Church, addressed the Prog
.ess Club on the subject of Wealth and
Social Reform" He began by asking,
.'wha is Wealth. He then continued:
There is the confusion of the symbol with
the reality. Men regard wealth. as Identical

If we think of wealth merely as a materiai

what is most instructive. Wealth Is tne

Reference Hook for Policemen.

Superintendent Powell and Schuyler Haas.
deputy city attorney, were in consultation
all of yesterday afternoon regarding the
publication of a new pocket book of refer
ences for the members of the police force.
1t is Mr.. PowelPs intention to publish
about $50 copies of the book. which shall
serve as a guide for the officers. All recent
ordinances, which give to the police powers
to make arrest will be briefed. 1t will make
it possible for an officer to act without
procuring an affidavit. 1t will also give
the city officers something from which
to quote to persons who ask
regarding city ordinance.

OMAHA, Neb.. March A.-The Attorney
general returned froms western Nebraska
to-day. In conversation he said:
Il have been investigating the Keya Paha
affair, and / am firm in the belief that
Mrs. Holton was not outraged or lynched
by vigiIantes. The work was evidently
done by two men, and II was a case OF
murder evidently committed for motives
not known at this time. i believe that she
was ~strangled to hush some secret forever.
/ hardly think that her knowledge of who
committed certain petty thieving was suffi-
cient to inspire any man or men to COM
nit murder. She was evidently killed in
the night and dragged from bed, but the
autopsy does not reveal any indication of
outrage. The suspicion against Hunt Is
very strong.
.in the Barrett Scott affair / believe
that we nave sufficient evidence to prove
that the crime was in Boyd
county, and / am working in perfect har-
mony with the county attorney of that dis
trict to bring about a speedy conviction

CURRENT BALL GOSSIP
TWO MORE OF THE INDIANAPOLIS
PLAYERS COME TO TOWN.
Eject of the Long hat On Hitting
Records-PrOspect for Interstate
League.

Two more of the Indianapolis ball players
arrived yesterday-McCarthy and Cough
man. Mccarthy is to play in left field, a
position in which he distinguished himself
last year, while Coughman, who comes here
from Philadelphia, has not yet been as
signed to his position. The latter, it is
said, resembles Damon, the New York
player, so closely that he might be mis-
taken for a brother.
Manager Watkins, of the team, was
asked last night what effect he thought
the new rule regarding the length of bat
would have on the members of his nine.
He said there is probably only one player,
catcher Mcfarland, whose batting average
would be improved. This rule permits any
length of bat, and if a brawny player
choose to use a club six feet long he can
do so. The rule last year limited the length
of the bat to forty-two inches. 1t is be-
lieved by using a long bat there will be
more hitting. A player will be enabled to
stand further out of range of the mysteri-
GUS inshoot, which must necessarily cross
the plate in order to retire a man. 1t is
supposed that a man with a powerful fore
arm can hit harder with a longer bat, al
though it is readily seen that he cannot
WELD a long stick with the alertness with
which he can handle a shorter one. The
diameter of the bat has also been increased
from two and one-half inches to two and
three-quarters. Under the rule permitting
increased length in the bat the man with
a. preponderance of abdominal anatomy Will
suffer fewer fears for his personal safety.
Ed Boland, catcher of the Fort. Wayne
team, was with Manager Watkins last
night. Boland says the prospects for the
Interstate League this season are very
bright. Six teams from Fort Wayne, La
fayette, Terre Haute. Aurora, Ill, Joliet, Ill,
and Bloomington ILL.,, will constitute the
lea que. Each club has deposited a three
hundred-dollar guarantee with the league to
play the season out, and in addition 10 TINS

of its gross gate receipts into a. reserve
fund, in order that the weaker club may
be sustained in the event of a threatened
ruction in the league.
H. f. Schmidt, a Terre Haute jeweler, is
president of this league. The contracts
signed are for four months and a half, the
season to open May /, Fort Wayne playing
at Lafayette on that day. Among the men
signed by Fort. Wayne are Wallace. An

S. White, a coloreu boy, at second base;
w. Crook at third base; w. w. Veach, an
old indianapolis player, at left field: c. f.
1--WE at center field, and Ed Boland as
catcher. The salary limit of the league is
$500. AL Fisher, manager of the Lafayette
club, and Dug. Barnes, shortstop of the
same team, are old Indianapolis men. Terre
