The windows are in the south or slop-

is one containing two rows of eight by
ten glass, five in q row, each overlapping
the one below in the style of hot-house
sashes. One window to five feet in
length of building will give good light.
OF course the interior arrangement
depends largely upon the fancy Of the
owner. The floor may be either cement
or earth. The former is preferred by the
man who cares for the flock, the latter
by the hens. A width Of 10 feet is recon-

gerous wound two or three inches deep.
The wounded man was taken to DR.. carp 6

was afterward assisted to his home.
Recently the Salvation Army leased the
old Nickelodian Theater, on West Wash
ington street for a meeting place. and it
was there that the trouble occurred last

Sible to break up the meeting. Holt and
his wife were in the audience. Holt has
been an interested attendant at the meet

tribute to. their success. he arose last
night and eXDostufdted with the rowdieS,
but all to no purpose. One Of them made
an insulting remark about Mis-. Holt. 1t
was resented py others in the audience,
and a general row began. An unknown
man stabbed Holt, and then escaped in the
confusion. Some one telechoned for the
police Patrollnan CaDlinger rode to the
place on his bicycle. but Hollis assailant
had in the meantime fed. good de-
scription was obtained of the man. From it
the officers believe that they can identify
and arrest him.
Repeated appeals for police protection
have been made by the,i Salvation Army,

TO TEACH GIRLS WRITING. /"
G. Il. Robinson. of New York, Taken
in Custody by the Police.

man giving the name of G.. r Robinson
and claiming to be teacher of penman-
ship from New York, was arrested yester-
day on the charge of being a confidence
man. In the morning a man called on
ST perintendent Colbert and told him that
his daughter was going to answer an adj
vertisement in an afternoon paper and he
wanted to know if the man inserting the
advertisement was all right. He showed a
copy of the advertisement, which stated
that young ladies were wanted at 127 North
Alabama street Ito do writing Superin-
tendent Colbert advised that the young
lady call at the number and find out what
the advertisement meant, but cautioned
her not to pay any money
Robertson was subsequently, arrested.
His scheme was to engage to teach girls
the vertical style of penmanship. for
which he exacted a fee of 81. He agreed
the art he would engage them to address
envelopes, at Is cents a thousand. He said
he was introducing a new copy book with
the style of penmanship, and that he eX-
pected to have circulars printed and sent
to every school teacher in the State.
Robertson had three rooms, at 12l North
Alabama street, in which there were no
desks tables at which writing could be
taught. He was closely questioned by the
superintendent at the police station. He
said ne was expecting to sell the new copy
book published by the American Book Com
pany. When asked if he was acting as
the companys agent, he said he had writ
ten it for six sample copies of the
book He said he had come here direct
from New York where he had been for
three months He said he had been con-
nected with business colleges, but could not
name them. A.letter in his pocket from his
brother at Kirklin, n. Y, comments on
the fact that Robinson was intending to
make his stay in this city brief. Accord
ing to Robinson's story to the police, he
intended to remain here until millions
of circulars had been sent out and he had
nvassed the State.
Under the Indiana school-book law Rob-
inson could not accomplish anything if
he should send millions of circulars out
over the State and should spend a year call
ing upon the teachers. Books are adopted
by the State Board of Education, and not
by the teachers.

SHELL BYVILI.E, Ind, Sept. 30-The Re-
nuhlican speaking in this city tonight
nroved conclusively that there is no hal in
town large enough to hold the people that
turn out TO hear the speakers that are
sent here. The meeting was originally ar
ranged for out of doors, but the weather
drove them TO the courthouse. The room
would normally hold about 800, and long
before 100 every seat was filled. The pro-
cession of clubs which escorted ex-Speaker
J. Warren Keifer of Ohio, numbered fully
five hundred. headed by the Furniture
workers Sound-money and Protection
Gu. with three hundred voters in
line All attempted TO crowd in. and
produced a great crush but fortunately no
one was injured. Mr.. Keifer talked for an
hour and half. and presented arguments
touching many new phases of the financial
question. lie said among other things:
MI Bryan stands on a Democratic plat
form which favors a paper redeemable in
coin and Peoples party platform favor
ing an irredeemable currency. Can
he favor both redeemable and
an irredeemable currency? At any
newsstand you can purchase a copy of
the Arena for September, 1896, and the
first article in the run.ber is by William
Jennings Bryan on the silver question
After showing to his owr, satisfaction that
the country should and will come to free
silver coinage, he states that it will then be
prepared to perfect it's financial system by
the adoption of an issue of paper which
will be rredeemable. Having reached a
point where We are prepared for free silver
he goes a step further and declares that
We are ready for free paper. When asked
what would do with the paper he re-
marks that we could issue it in payment
of the expenses OF the government. The
government would then issue about $500 900 =
coo of this sort of worthless paper. Are we
then to come back to an irredeema BILE
money which is sure to bring inevitable
disaster to our country and people,"
At the close of the courthouse speech
Mr.. Keller was driven to the assembly
hall. where the Hon. Thomas B. Adams
had held "a crowd of 800. Keifer spoke here
for one hour. Never before has so much
interest been manifested in any campaign
where it was necessary to use two halls to
hold the people. Following the Demo-
cratic failure of last night the meeting of
tonight was the success of the campaign.
