Young Mr. Broughton was, unawares
and graduallys in process of evolution
from the journalist to the Newspaper man.
1t took all sorts of rubs and surprises and
facers and disiilusions to form him. That
morning he was hurrying through Printing
House Square on an assignment, when he
noticed before bimI woman carrying on
her head trayi6 plaster images, and
walking with the stately gait and even
poise OF the Soita italian. She was small,
brown; she wore gown of blue cotton, a
wooden shawl plaided in olive and yellow,
and red kerchief on her head. These
glariDg colors, however, made her pic
ture. To observe her Broughton passed by

little woman so roughly that the tray was

WOMAN ON A WHEEL.

She May Have q Good Time, But She
Is Not Thing of Beauty.
Bicycle riding for women may be a Joy for
ever, but it is not thing of beauty. If
you're inclined to doubt this statement, saws
the New York Evening SUN, just take stroll
up the boulevard any fine day, Sunday pre-
ferred. The Sabbath seems to appeal par
ticularly to the woman bicycIist. 1t isn't
alone her much discussed costume that viO-
lates all your accepted standards OF the
eternal fitness of things; the very act and
motion OF propelling 1.-The wheel" becomes
an extraordinary feat when performed by
oman. II looks neither graceful nor ele-
giant, and this, too, no matter how slender
and symmetrical of figure she may be. For
that, though, there's no help. If women
must indulg in bicycle riding and il amawk k
ward appearance is the inevitable penalty,
then all that each individual may for her
self consider is, whether the game is worth
the candle. But in the matter of suits there
might surely be some Improvement. That
the becoming and graceful bicycle costume
is yet To be invented is one of the strongest
impressions resulting from a boulevard
stroll. Now and then you see a costume
not conspicuously dreadful, but the over
whelming majority recall the artists criti-
cism upon bis pupils latest picture: That's

it's worse" II would seem as though every
style OF bicycle suit had its own peculiar
disadvantages. Boomers, of course, entail

Samuel was past praying for, but he was no
more thoroughly pulverized than the bust
OF Napoleon. Young Mr.. Brougbton felt
stirring within him an essay on the frailty
of mundane things. Then the air was torn
with the lamentations of the woman.

a.ong her front teeth to indicate the hun
ger which would be he consequence OF the
breakage of her stock in trade.
Meanwhile two bootblacks had seized the
man by the elbows, and, turning him
around, ran him back face to face with
the woman. She stood wringing her hands
and wailing. what ruinI Poor-a mcl''
The aggressor was evidently also an
Italian.
"soy!'' one of the bootblacks said, "youse

mented the other boy.
Broughton had been painfully compos-
ing a few phrases OF such colioquial Italian
as his Harvard studies of Dante had rem
dered possible to him, and now uttered
them in a stiff and toneless accent In ef-
feet, he said that it was necessary to pay
the compatriot for that which was broken.
Il only gotta ten cent-a, signor," said
the offender, handing the coin to the
woman. He was permitted to go in peace.
"Ten-a cent al Madonna mial For so
mooch image!' sobbed she.
So BToughton put dollar into his own
hat and passed it round among the throng
that had been attracted by the noise. When
he gave the collection to the. woman she
wiped her eyes, kissed his hands with
many benedictions and went her way.
Broughtons assignment had taken him in
the direction of Mulberry Bend. AS he
returned through that quarter he saw a

judge from the spectacle upon the bOUle-
ward, are in favor of blOomeTs-and the
stouter the woman the sCant.eT the bloom
ers. Some riders wear their Easter bonnets
and new spring capes when upon the bicy-
Gle just as they would when in buggy; but
although they wresent a grateful contrast to
the blOomered chaperones OF the track, such
apparel has a certain unfituess. Not the
least interesting feature of the boulevard
show is the spectators. They gather thickly
upon the sidewalk and cape fOrhOUrs at the
rapidly revolving wheels before them Most
of the crowd are men, and il is curious to
watch the expression on their faces when
they catch sight OF a woman bicyClist- This
expression is always the same, only varying
in degree. Boomers bring out its superia-
tive qualities. IL does not under any cir
cumstance, however, suggest especial re-
spect, reverence or admiration FOR the
woman bicyclist; in fact, il seems hardly
inclined to take ber seriously at all The
sooner that she is taken seriously, however,
both by the onlookeF and by herself, the
better it will be for all concerned and the
greater the chance OF an improvement in
her costume.

JACKSON COUNTY SEAT WAR.
Two Factions Appear Before the Ju-
dietary Committees

TWO FACTIONS Appear Before the Ju-
dietary Committees.
Two carloads of people from Seymour
and Brownstown, Jackson county, came 70
town yesterday to do battle before the Sem
ate and House judiciary. committees The
Inhabitants of these two towns are stirred
almost to fever heat over the county
seat war, which has been renewed since
the assembling of the present Legislature
Brownstown is the county seat, but Sey-
mour wants to wrest the honor away from
it. The judiciary committees intended to
have a meeting in of the smaller
rooms at the Statehouse but when the
Jackson county crowd doomed up flight was
taken to the Agriculture room, which will
seat several hundred people. The room was
crowded. The committee informed the two
factions that it would listen to argument
from two men on each side and in line
with this, Capt. j. H. Balsley, the Mayor
of Seymour, opened the argument for that
town, B. H Burrell and David Kockner
following with Brownstown views, and Will
liam Shields closing for the Seymour folk
1t was the argument of the Brownstown
people that the removal of the courthouse
and aI jail to Seymour would be hurtful to
the interests of the county. They thought
the matter was settled for all time when
the courthouse was constructed at Browns
town in 1870. 1t vas claimed that Seymour
had been losing as grip as a town since
the railroad shops were removed from there
BroWnstown only claims 4 400, while Sey-
mour has a population Of 1900. The repre-
sentatives from the latter place claim that
in 1870 there was a very fair Prospect of
removing the county seat to Seymour, had
it not been for a little occurrence. One of
the County Commissioners who was in favor
of the move was old German and it is
said that the Brownstewn people, having
learned that he was about to cast his vote
in favor of removal, called upon him en-
masse one night shot his dog and scared
him so badly that he resigned the next
day, thus allowing the county auditor, who
was Brownstown man,, TO name his sue
ceSsor. 1t was insisted that BroWnstoWn
is two miles from a railroad station and
not convenient for the majority of people
in the county A bill is now before the
Houses authorizing the removal of the
courthouse and jail, providing 60 per cent.
of the people in the county favor the
change. All of the expenses of the special
election are to be borne by jackson town
ship, in which Seymour is located. The
bill requires this township to put up the
new courthouse and Jail without expense
to any other township IN the county, the
building 10 cost at least % per teent more
than the value of those now at Browns
town. The Brownstown folk insist that
their buildings worth $65, 900.
The committees took no action yesterday,
but it is understood that the sentiment is
in favor of recommending the BILL in order
that the people of the county may have an
opportunity of voting the question.

VOLUNTARY RELIEF ASSOCIATIONS.
Senate Bill Aimed Directly Mt Penn
SyIyanfa and Ii. & o. Systems.

The most important bill introduced in
the Senate yesterday was that of Sen
ator Mcdonald to protect the wages of en-
ployes. The bill is aimed at the so-called
voluntary relief associations of the Penn
sylvania and the Baltimore & Ohio railroad
companies and the hospital system of the
Big Four, all of which are maintained by
deductions made from the wages of the
employees. The bill of Senator Mcdonald
makes it unlawful for any person, firm
or corporation to exact from an employee
a contract that he will give a stipulated
part of his wages monthly to maintain the
Institutions referred to. 1t is made unlaw-
full for any person, firm corporation to
deduct from the pay of employees a per
cent. Of his earnings for the creation Of
viding maintenance in case of sickness
Any judge of any court in which case
may be brought is authorized to declare
any contract by which an employe surren-
ders a part of his wages contrary to
public policy, and hence null and void The
penalty affixed for the violation of the
provisions of the bill by any officer of any
railroad is a fine of from two to five hun
dred dollars to which may be added six
months in Jail

GOVERNOR MAY APPOINT.
But Would Re Compelled to Select
Good Republicans.

Senator Boyd's bill concerning benevolent
institutions. introduced yesterday, provides
that the hospital at the city of Indianapo-
lis shall be known as the Central Hospital
for the Durable Insane; that the hospital
at Logansport shall be known by the name,
"Logansport Hospital for the Incuraele In
sane;" that the hospital at the city of
Richmond shall be known by the name,
Richmond Hospital for the Incurable In
sane" that the hospital at the city Of
Evansville shall be known by the name,
Evansville Hospital for the Incurable In
sane" The bill further provides for a board
of three trustees to be appointed for each
by the Governor of the State, two from
the party casting the highest vote, at the
last election The bill further provides mat
the Governor shall have power to remove
any trustee appointed by him for any cause
which he may deem just and. sufficient. All
such appointments and removalssto he Sub
ject to the confirmation of the Senate. Tt
defines the duties of trustees, of the SUI
perintendent and other officers of the in
sritutlons. 1t provides for the transfer IF
inCura BILE wards from the Central hospital
to one of the other hospitals, and for the
transfer of durable patients from the ether
hospitals to the Central hospital. It fixes
the salary of the superintendent at not to
one sections to the bill, and it re-enacts
part of the old law with some slight
the Boards of trustees misdemeanors. and
fixes penalties therefor, and further pro-
vides that the boards of trustees and he
State Board of Charities shall have freer
and unrestrained access to the institutions
at all times 1t repeats all laws in conflict
and has an emergency clause.
!. 1t has already been pointed out by the
this would be to soon fill the insane hos
pitfalls of the State with the incurably in
sane. There are now on file large num-
Der of applications for admissions to. the
hospitals which cannot be complied with
until room is made. The. law as it APP
plies to the Central hospital permits the
removal of patients whose cases are in
durable, but the regula lions applied to the
other hospitals provide. that no patient
shall be discharged until cured The pres
ent capacity of the hospitals is more than
taxed, and it is pointed, out. that under
there would be still less chance for the
treatment of acute cases Which by prompt
attention rlnicht be cured.
