A LEASE OF $50 CONvICTs.
Prison South Directors Close a Con-
tract-Warden Hert I'm Town.

Warden Hert, of the southern prison, is
at the Denison House. He was we'll pleased
with the situation at the prison when he
talked with a Journal reporter last night.
He made the interesting announcement that
the directors at their meeting yesterday at
the prison had closed a contract by which
the labor of 80 prisoners was leased to
J. E. Tarbox & Co., of Mimi.
The company manufactures boots and
shoes of medium grades and will make JEFF
fersonville a distributing point. 1t has a
contract with Minnesota for go convicts.
Travelling men have been employed TO sell
the product of tire company. Speaking of
the matter, the Warden said:
1.-The prison will receive 40. cents a day
for the labor of the convicts and the
prison earnings will be increased 800 a
day. The prison will be earning In less
than six months enough to make IL more
than self-sustaining. The receipts for the
year will amount TO 10000 more than the
cost of maintaining the prison. We expect
to rave things i'm readiness for the new
concern in about sixty days and the direc-
tors are to meet tomorrow with the State
officers to determine what should be done
in the way of preparation. 1t will be nee
essary to remodel certain of our buildings.
When we took charge of the prison there
were only so men employed out of the
500 men in the prison. and with this con-
tract we will have employment for four
hundred men. or half the prisoners. We
nave been working on this contract for
two months. 1t runs for five years. We
are well pleased with what We have DONE"

MISS HARRIET MOBILES PAPER.


For the first time in it's history the In
%diar.apolis Literary Club. was addressed by
a woman. Miss Harriet Noble last night
read an admirable paper on 1.-The New
Literary Art" a paper which she read re-
Gently before the katherine Merrill Club.
The paper was introduced by a dialogue,
in which one persons asks Miss Noble what
she thinks OF Metterlinck. Other writer's
Of the same class are mentioned. The re-
suit of the reading of MetterlInck, Sharpe,
Bliss Carmen and others furnishes the
foundation of the paper. These writer's are
termed symbolists. After the dialogue, fol-
lows some of their works. A play, THE
Blind" was read. This is by Metterlinck
and the strength is said TO lie in the SIM
plicity of expressions and the reiteration
of the same words. The subject is grue-
some and the finale is left TO the imagina-
ton. After Edmund Gosse, the noted
critic, read the works he confessed that he
did not know what they meant. The
master tone in the writings is always terror.
Another description was Even Of II Mi M;ss
Mobiles opinion that II would De haru 20
find i'm literature more beauty mingled
of thu great deep to which the race goes,
a more. perfect working out OF the law OF
retribution. 1t is. the opinion Of William

in the new style adopted by the symooists'
Said Miss Noble.
.It is not the nonreader who concerns
me so much as the sense OF helpiessness
in the effort to appreciate Alright N one
does read. Mixed with the beauty Is muSn

At the conclusion OF the paper Major

Many have read DIR. Nordau's book on de-
generation, however. and were ready 10

pressed themselves as willing that the one
play should suffice for them: From the
writer's the conversation drifted FOR a time
to the subject Of expression by allegory
roundabout utterances. Diplomatic CORE
spondence was quoted as a sample OF say
ing something without saying directly
what is meant. Mrs. Sewall, Mr.. Noble G.
Butler, Mr.. Cleland, Mr.. Louis Howland,
Mr. Beyeridge, Mr.. John r. Wilson and
MIR. Fishback were among those who took
mart I'm the conversation with Miss Noble.

club on the death of Mr.. tango one of
the members Of the club. The resolutions
gave a very high tribute TO his worth as

to the poor and those In trouble. The
regard of the members of the club was
shown In the standing vote OF approval or

FATALLY INJURED MAN FINED.
The Governor RENTS the Fine Against
Joseph Boyer.

Governor Matthews yesterday RENTED s36
of a fine of $50 assessed against Joseph
Boyer, OF Tippecanoe county. The story OF
the fine. is a peculiar one. Boyer is a resi-
dent of Tippecanoe county, where he has
lived for many years, and has always MAIN
tained a good reputation for honesty and
industry. He is "A laborer, and, being out
of work, went to White county and found
employment. About this time there was a
house burned i'm S~tockwell, near Lafayette.
and a detective undertook 10 locate the i'm

the lungs. but on the statement of the de-
~tective, Boyer. the man who was fatally
terry with intent TO kill. on account OF
Boyer's condition. which was then pro-
nounced most precarious, the judge OF the
Circuit Court consented TO allow the intent
to kill to be withdrawn from the indict-
ment and Boyer was tried on a charge OF
assault and battery. aud was fined $50 and
sentenced to jail for thirty days. He is a
poor man and could not pay the fine. and
was compelled 10 go to jail and work IL
out. He has been in Jail thirty-four days.
The certificates accompanying the applica-
ton TO Governor Matthews show that the
physicians consider Boyer's case hopeless.
II is thought that he can live only a few
days. A great deal of interest was taken
i'm the case by many prominent people OF
Tippecanoe county, and also by those OF
White county when IL became known that
Boyer had many influential friends in his
own home. A large number OF these men

Few Knew About the Shakers
AN INTERESTING, GOD-FEARING
PEOPLE WHO HAVE GIVEN THE
WORLD MANY IMPORTANT
DISCOVERIES.

We may not accept their peculiar rellg-
ious beliefs nor can we enter into the spirit
OF their sacrifices. 1t Is not necessary 10
believe as they do, but we can and do re-
spect their sincerity OF purpose and the
honor and uprightness which marks all their
business dealings.
The Shakers nave always been successful
inventors, and some OF the greatest of the
conveniences OF the present day found origin
in their settlements.
In one particular they excel all other men
or classes OF men. and hat is In cultivation
OF medicinal herbs and plants and their
preparation for use. They have made II a
study for more than one hundred years. II
Is one of their peculiar Industries. Their
lives have been devoted TO IL.
Their latest and greatest achievement IL
offered as a cure for all diseases. IL does
not pretend TO be. but one disease IL will
cure. and that Is indigestion.
Sufferers who resort 10 It's use have not
long to await to see the result. The effect
is almost Immediate. The first dose usually
gives relief. and IL continued a permanent
cure will follow.

but II dlgests food as well, thus toning ND
the general system. An interesting pamph-
let is now being issued BY the Shaker and

a great deal of good-natured discussion and
brought out the fact that there still exists
much difference between the churches OF
the various denominations. Original sin, to-
tai deprayity, apostolic succession and
baptism were the subjects on which some
of those who took part in the discussion
locked horns and waged a war of words.
Mr.. Wilson devoted his time TO a discus
sion of the existing and past conditions of
the church so as to bring the facts clearly
before the meeting for ii 70 judge whether
the church is moving forward or backward.
He took the view at first that in spite of
all that is being done the prison population
is increasing, the use of intoxicants is
growing and there is a tendency to build
up class distinctions; but he then showed
that even though this is true, the popula-
ton of the country is also on the increase,
so that in the end he thought the fight was
a winning one. He also mentioned the fact
that because of the great facilities for dis
seminating news ii is possible that crime is
not increasing, but that il seems SO from
the fact that people now read OF almost
every crime, great or small, that Is COM
mitted.

A YELLOW BRIDGE AFFAIR.
Charles Jones Fires mt George Caric0
and Hits Fireman Barlow.

Charles Jones. colored. known to the po-
lice as Diamond" fired four shots at
George Carico, also colored, yesterday aft
ernoon. The shooting was done at the
Yellow bridge. The bullets vhistled past
Carico and one of them struck John Bar
low. a fireman at No. 1 engine house.
The trouble was occasioned over the dec
laration of Carico that his clothing was
as good as that worn by Jones. The men
fell TO knocking each other about and
Jones ran off and secured a pistol. Carico
ran when the firing began. Barlow was
but slightly injured, the bullet striking the
tip of one of his fingers. Jones fed after
the shooting, but was captured later by
patrolman Sullivan, who found him in the
Statehouse yard. Carico came TO the sta
ton house last night and gave himself up.
