OMEGA Little Girls
Plea.

A business man called at the Mayors Of
nee. yesterday morning, shortly before 8
o'clock. to see Mr.. Taggart concerning a
question OF improvement assessment. Col.
Holloway sat at the Mayors desk writing.
Mr.. Taggart was not in. but the business
man was told that he would probably be in
soon- The business man departed TO return
an hour later. Mr.. Taggart was in but was
surrounded by a waiting crowd and there
was a line Of men standing around, waiting
to catch the ear of the Mayor but one brief
second. The business man returned near the
noon hour. Mr.. Taggart was not In but Col.
Holloway sat at the desk writing. 1t was not
known when Mr.. Taggart would be in but
he would probably drop in during the after
noon. The business man called shortly after
noon. Colonel Holloway sat at the desk
writing. Mr.. Taggart could not be seen. The
busines man left and returned about 4
O'Clock He was told that Mr.. Taggart had
been in for a brief time but he had gone.
No, 1t was not known where he could be

During the afternoon many inquiries were
made at the office for the Mayor. TO be
sure many OF the callers were disappointed
office-seekers or office-seekers who do not
know when they have been thrown down
and jumped upon. But among the callers
were property owners who came seeking in
formation, while others had report to make
concerning city work. One caller was a
widow who wanted information concerning
an assessment in the northeastern part of
the city. She said she had been unable TO
learn anything concerning 1t at the engi-
neers office, for Mr.. Jeup was out and the
others there knew nothing about it. The
woman could obtain no information, so she
sought the Mayor thinking. perhaps. he
would see that her case was looked up.
Yesterday Mr.. Taggart spent three hours
In the office to which he was elected. His
absence Is explained by his friends by his
desire to escape the ofice-seekers and kick
ers who lay In wait for him there. The
Mayor came into the office shortly after 9
o'clock and remained there until twenty
minutes past IL. He was present a half or
thr~ee-quarters OF an hour during the after
noon.

HOUSE AND CITY SANITATION.
Papers Read at the Meeting Of the
Women's Local Council.

There was a meeting of the Local Council
yesterday afternoon at the Propylaeum, and
there was the largest attendance the So
ciety has had for a long time. Mr.. c. NJ.
Walker presided. The roll was called and
all delegates responded to their names with
a brief account OF the work Of the society
represented. There were two very fine
papers read, one on House Sanitation" by
Mrs.A. B. McGregory, and one on city Sani-
%tation," by Miss Hester McClung. Both
possessed literary merit in addition to the
excellence of the matter contained in them.
Mrs. McGregory talked Of the necessities in
the home for perfect sanitation TO preserve
health. but her particular point was in re-
gard to the unsanitary conditions of the
public schools, particularly the closets. She
urged the mothers TO visit the schools and
investigate for themselves, and then told
them plainly what they would find.
Miss McClung told in an interesting way
of the need OF better city sanitation.
Garbage and refuse of various kinds are left
to decay and cast their malodors as we'll as
disease everywhere. Public buildings,
streets and alleys are Ia need of a good
~housekeeper. The thoughts expressed in
both papers were heartily voiced by every
one present. The subjects and the manner
of their presentation made the meeting one
of the most beneficial yet held.

e TINES A WIFE.
The Police Thought Her Old Enough
to Care for Herself.

An aged woman OF respectable appearance
climbed the stairs at police headquarters
yesterday afternoon and laid a photograph
on the desk before Superintendent Colbert.
The card contained the smiling face OF a
pretty woman of about twenty-three.
THAT is my daughter" said the visitor.

the police to bring her home The woman
said her name was Edwards and that she
recently came here with her daughter Lucy
from Charlottesville. Mrs. Edwards said
her daughter left the house in company
with another girl, intending to go to the
Park Theater. She did not come back and
yesterday the mother located the girls on
Indiana avenue. Mrs. Edwards said her
daughter had been married three times and
was not living with her third husband. Su-
perintendent Colbert suggested to the
mother hat her daughter had been married
enough and was old enough TO take care
OF herself and the police could not inter-

THE BILLS MUST WAIT
STATE AUDITOR CANNOT PAY THEM
OUT OF 1896 APPROPRIATIONS.
Maintenance Fund for State Institu-
tiOns ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS for
Southern Insane Hospital.

Encouragement Ketcham yesterday
gave two opinions to the State Auditor in
reference to appropriations. The first was
in answer to a query in req ard to the
appropriation Of certain money for new
buildings and for sewerage at the Southern
Hospital for the Insane. The wording OF
the act leaves the matter somewhat doubt
full as to the amount really appropriated.
1t provides for $4,000 for new buildings
and then follows up with an item of SIS. 900
for sewerage, and the ambiguity Of the
wording makes it somwhat doubtful
whether the sewerage appropriation is
separate, or whether 1T is to be paid from
the new buildings appropriation. BY refer
ence to the house Journals and other legis-
lative documents, the Att~orney-general con-
cludes that the amounts are intended to be
two separate items. the total amount being
SIS 900.
The other opinion covers a question that
has arisen over the fact that certain ap-
preparations have been exhausted before
all expense to be paid from them have
been met. The auditor asks IL any part
Of the maintenance Of an institution for
the fiscal year ending Oct. 81. 1895. can be
paid from the appropriation for the fiscal
year ending Oct. 81, 1896. The Attorney
general holds that to allow and pay bills
for the last year from the appropriation for
the present fiscal year, would be to give
the auditor the power to pass deficiency
appropriation bills, which power. he says,
is wholly with the Legislature. Accord
fiscal year, for which the fund has been
exhausted, will have to be held until the
next meeting Of the Legislature.

THE DIcKER STILL ON.


Louis Reibold and William II. English
are still considering plans for a new hotel
on the present site Of the Hotel English.
The proposition comes from Mr.. English
and Mr.. Riebold is ready to accept 1t when
ever certain concessions are made. Mr..
Reibold wants the present buildings torn
away and a new six-story building erected
taking IN the entire quarter block on which
the hotel is situated. This would give an
entrance on Market street, which would
be q sort OF an arcade for small shops on
either side. This passage way would ex-
tend back to the rotunda and Office Of the
hotel A little further on would be the
entrance TO the opera house. and a Merid-
ian-street entrance would be constructed
on the plan Of the one at the other end.
Mr.. Reibold wants the present hotel torn
away because IL is not ire-proof and he
says he will not go into another builiing
that Is not constructed on the most modern
design. His Improvement. If carried out.
would cost about a Clarter OF a million
dollars. exclusive OF furniture for the hotel.
Mr.. Reiboid contemplates a building that
will be roomy and not a sky scraper. and
viii have everything In IL that a guest
could wish for.

A Ten-Year-Old Girl Makes a Plea to
the Mayor.

A Ten-Year-OId Girl Makes a Plea to
the Mayor.
Since h election a pretty-faced girl of
ten years has been seen frequently about
the courthouse basement. In the mad
scufie for office she was repeatedly pushed
to the background and not until yesterday
did she get a word with the Mayor, with
whom she has so much desired to speak.
On former days she has entered the
Mayors Office to find Mr.. Taggart sur
rounded by a crowd of aggressive Job
hunters and she has realized that she had
no place among them. She has appeared
most frequently about 4 o'clock, presumably
AFTER school. She has always been very
polite and backward about making in
political victory the child has been ignored.
Yesterday she appeared earlier at the
office n found Mr.. Taggart, who was
just leaving. The Mayor observed that
ting out his hand he asked:

position"

chances with the rest, but before he could
ask any questions the child continued:

did not know you. He is a Democrat and
is real good to work"
Mr.. Taggart learned that the child's
and hence hesitated upon seeking. The
mans name was taken and the child was
told that an effort would be made TO find
something for him to do. She thanked the
hop. skip and a jump, her golden hair
dancing on her back.

CHECKS TO COUNTY TREASURER.
Mail Has Been Very Heavy with Them
During Last Few Days.

Treasurer Schmidt was found with three
or four hundred unopened letters before
him yesterday afternoon and looking very
tired. He said that the mail had been
very heavy with checks and cash in pay

said, 'the letters are written in a business
like way and give us no trouble. But some
send US checks in blank with instructions
TO fill out the amount due and also 10 in
clude all street and sewer assessments

THAT DEMONIACAL WHISTLE.
Mayor Taggart Asked to Have n Stop
Put to the Noise.

Put to the Noise.
A bicycle establishment near the Union
tracks on New Jersey street has a nerve
trying whistle which Is a great annoyance
to people OF delicate senses. 1t
is a sliding, screeching, whooping whistle,
as intense as a college yell. 1t has been
likened to a college yell given by a hum
dred enthusiasts after a football victory.
Another citizen has compared the sound
to a tigers yell, but as the man was born
and reared in Wayne county, this State,
the comparison is based upon descriptions
found in menagerie stories. The whistle
commences Easy and soft and then by a
sudden and strong rise goes up in high c.
to drop to a most mournful and plaintive
finish. 1t is heard three times a day and
people living as far north as st. Clair
street have complained Of being awakened
or disturbed by it The Indiana company,
On whose establishment the whistle is
found, denies that 1t was put there with
any premeditated malice. The company de-
sired q distinctive whistle 50 its workmen
could not mistake the sound. Mayor Tag
concerning the sound. One citizen
wrote yesterday asking that the whistle be
ordered stopped. Another suggests that the
Council pass an ordinance governing
whistles and prohibiting my such ex-
hibitions as that given three times a day
by the bicycle company.

MILlTJAMEN FOR CUBA.
Claimed thai Fifty of Them Have
Agreed to Go to War.

1t is rumored that an effort Is being made
in this city to raise a company of men to
go to Cub to assist the insurgents In theiI
fight for liberty. Last winter there was q
similar statement made. AT that time a
well-known young man in this city showed
a letter he had received from one OF the
Cuban agents in this country, telling that
as soon as the insurgents could see their
way clear to send men from this country
to the island the young resident OF this city
would be notified and asked to do what he
could to secure men. The matter seems to
nave crystallized in some form. 1t is stated
that fifty of the militiamen Of this city
have signed an agreement to go to Cube
and fight. Just how much OF the rumor Is
true cannot be learned.

ANOTHER COMPROMISE MADE.
Tax CommissiOners' Agreement with
the l., L. & 8. Railroad.

The State tax commissioners have en-
tered into an agreement with the Indiana,
Illinois & Southern railroad whereby the
road agrees to pay its back taxes for the
last three years by Dec. Is at the rate OF
5000 a mile valuation. The assessment
was reduced from 5000 a mile. The road
runs from the Illinois line through Sullivan
county, and is not over thirty miles In
length. 1t has seemed as If the State would
be compelled to sell it for the taxes. for
there is no money made in operating II.
This was not thought advisable and the
compromise was reached.
