GUESS FINDS HIS WIFE.
She Was in ~ Resort i'm This City
Sent Home to ShelbyvilIe.

For more than a month the police have
been looking for Sadie Guess, the sixteen
year-old wife of James Guess, of Shelbyville,
and yesterday Sergeant Corrigan found her
in a resort run by Mrs. Clark. Several
weeks ago, James Guess reported to the
police department that his young wife had
run away from home at Shelbyville, and he
had reason to believe she was in a resort in
this city. Although diligent search was
made the girl kept out of the officers way
until she was arrested yesterday afternoon.
Guess is now working in this city and he
was sent for, when his wife was arrested.
superintendent Powell brought the two to-
gether and the girls side of the story was
heard. She claimed she had good reasons
for leaving her husband as she asserted that
the relations between her husband and her
mother had not been the best in the world
Her husband begged her to return home with
him, offering to do any thing for her that
she wished but she refused saying she
cared to have nothing further to do with
him, refusing to permit him to spend any
money on her. Superintendent Powell gave
the girl her choice of remaining in the sta
ton house and going to the workhouse this
morning, or promising to return to Shelby
vile with her husband After some parley-
ing she consented to return to her old
home, but maintained her decision to have
nothing to do with Guess. They promised
to leave the city on an early train this
morning.

Apollo either Club Concert.

The Apollo Either Club celebrated its
first anniversary yesterday evening with a
concert at Maennerchor Hall, having an au-
dience that packed the hall. A delightful

guson, with cornet solo; Miss *. Roger,

known as the Trust, has made extensive

from Elwood to the effect that the Pitts

the DePauw plants at Alexandria and New

I'VE have some very unreliable CORE

BLDG anna Moaern Literatnre.

Richard G. Moulton lectured on the liter
ary qualities of the Bible at ST. Pauls
Cathedral yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Moul-
ton believes that the Holy Book contains all
the characteristics of modern literature and
these he pointed out in the various chap
ters and books He stated that it is the
fault of the printers that we do not APP
preciate the literary qualities of the Bible,
for the reason that the poetry and prose
are all presented in the same typographical
style. when the poetry should be distin-
guished from the more prosaic history by
the style of the printing. He termed the
book of Esther one of the greatest epic
poems which have ever been written, and
told the story related in such a manner
as to impress one that he was reading a
modern work of literature. He considers
the history of Esther as one of the most
interesting Of stories and said the plot
was sufficient for a three-volurne novel.
The New Testament is almost entirely biog-
raphy, st. John containing diseourses with
the biography; the Acts of the Apostles
containing general history. The various
classes of poetry are found in the Songs
of solomon and several of the other books
OF the Old Testament.

Progress Club Members Take Wide
Range I'm Their Discussion.

The Progress Club held its last meeting
of the season yesterday afternoon. Fit
weed Pomeroy, of Newark, n. j.. spoke
on the initiative and referendum system,
which he thought would be a pretty good
thing. There was not very large crowd
present, but those members of the club
who delight to argue We're there. In the
discussion which followed Mr.. Pomeroy's
remarks the participants frequently got
side-tracked, and the wandering from the
subject of the afternoon was SO marked
that President Kennedy felt called upon
to administer a mild reprimand. he said
the members in discussion should stick
closer to the subject and not go Off on
tangents. He said the object of the club
should not be to criticise everything said,
but to discuss matters brought forward in
a logical manner and seek the truth OF all
matters. In the discussion yesterday over
the remarks Of Mr.. Pomeroy on the in-
itiativa and referendum. one speaker sprung
the money question. Another touched on
religion Another got in a telling blow for
single tax. One man said the tendency

Crowds at Fafrview Park-Streets
ThrOnged with Cyclers.

Fairview Park was opened to the public
yesterday. The cars going to the park
were crowded all the afternoon with many
of the same persons who have fiocked to
the popular resort during past summers 1t
seemed as If a pleasant Sunday Of last
summer had been transposed to yesterday.
There were the same light suits and yellow
shoes, the same light dresses and sailor
hats. the same families, the same would-he
sports and giggling girls out yesterday as
haunted the park last season. The park
looked much the same, with the exception
that the grass has grown out on the hill
sides and the grounds have not yet been dec
grated by popcorn wrappers and lunch
boxes Yesterday was such day that
persons who are shut up in the city wish to
get out, and many sought Fairview Park.
Families wandered about the grounds allow
ing the children to play on the hills or
throw rocks in the canal. Many wan
eiered through the grove east of the grounds
appeared. Those who did not go to Fairview
endeavored to get out in the country in
some other direction. The livery IS, stables bre

sons with a love for walking strayed down
to Garfield Park, but the latter is not
popular because of the difficulty in reaching
it. The Broad Ripple cars were crowded,
many spending the afternoon near that sub
urb.
Yesterday was nerve trying day for the
enemy of the bicycle. 1t is safe to say that
never have SO many bicycles been seen as
there were during the afternoon. 1t was
bicycles, bicycles, every where. Scores of
crowds were out ON wheels and many runs
were made to neighboring 2owns There
were boomers among the riders. but the
wearers of boomers are becoming more
common. they cease to attract the atten-
ton which they did the first of the riding
season.

A ROAD HOUSE ROW.
rhe Place Out ON College Avenue Civ
ing the Police Trouble.

The saloon keepers over the city have
about decided that it is too costly to vio-
late the liquor laws, at least while George
W. Powell is superintendent of police Yes
terday the officers had very little trouble
in keeping the saloons closed up tight, al
though, of course, there were one or two
who are yet little loath to give up the
Sunday trade. The College-avenue road
house has been a source of more or less
annoyance for a long time, and yesterday
after small row had occurred in the
place the police arrested Christ. Schober, the
keeper. Patrolman Brady had been sta
toned at the place, but was unable to
watch all the doors. and yesterday after
noon, while several men We're in the place

and cry was raised for the police, Brady
rushed into the place. but the men had
fled. He sent for assistance, but was un-
able to arrest any one but the keeper of

ing no extremely poor nor extremely rich.
He said If il were known that the people
We're to vote upon legislation, fewer bad
laws would be passed by the Legislative

ward the initiative and referendum, which
he thought was the proper means Of
reaching an end to the many social ques-
tfons but he did ouer the initiative

that now beset them.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
Its WORK Practically Compi. ted and
Recess Taken I III Tuesday.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Nov. 26.-The
Constitutional convention to-day re-
versed its action of week ago prohi-
biting homestead from being mort
gagged after it was est off. The re-
mainder of the day was spent in max
ing minor amendments to articles on
their third reading. The convention
will finish it's work this afternoon, ex-
cept the formal ratification of the con-
stitution. A recess was taken until
next Monday in order to allow mem
bers to go to the Atlanta Exposition
on Carolina Day, next Thursday.
At 7:30 tonight the Constitutional
convention completed it's work prac-
tically and recess was taken until
Tuesday, December 3rd, when it will
reassemble and ratify the constitution
after it has been put in order and re-
yised by the committee appointed for
the purpose, which will sit during the
recess.
A great deal of work was accom-
plished during the days session, the
most important being the striking out
of the section allowing divorces grant
ed in other States to be recognized in
this, where the marriage took place
out of the State, and one or both of the
parties was not native or citizen of
the State. Senator Tillman succeeded
in getting that section in Saturday
night, but when ii came up on it's third
reading il was killed by vote Of 81 to
46. The new constitution goes into
effect December 31st.
