POLITICAL ORATORY
Considered by DIR. Shcpardson In Ini-
vcrsity Extension Course.

The second series i'm the university ex-
tension lecture course began at the parish
house of St Paurs Church last evening
Dr. Shepardson continued his instructive
lectures on American history by speaking
on the subject. Daniel Webster and Amer
ican Political Oratory" Arrangements
nave been completed for a course of lectures
on New England political life, which will
be given Saturday afternoons. commencing
one week from to-day.
In beginning his lecture last evening Dr.
shepardson considered the influence OF ora
tory In the United States Freedom OF
speech is fundamental in a republic. Ora
tory is bound to be important where the in
uuence OF public opinion is so powerful as
IL IS In the United States. The rise of
James Gus, Patrick Henry and John Adams
was the result OF the desire for liberty and
independence during the days OF the reyo-
luton Inc different styles of oratory were
treated, and Daniel Webster was taken as
type. The early training. the Character
istics and the speeches OF the great orator
were considered.
DIR. Shepardson concluded by saving that
oratory Is no longer influential in political
history the newspaper being it's opponent
Inc newspaper now sets forth arguments
and facts so all may form opinions. leaving
less Tor the political orator to accomplish.

BLACKS AND BLACK LAWS.


The Booker T. Washington Literary So
ciety an organization composed of promi-
nent Indianapolis colored people, last night
discussed the topic, 'Indianas Blacks and
Black Laws" The meeting of the society
was held at Blackford-street Zion Church,
which was crowded. The recent marriage at
Muncie of a white woman and a colored
man provoked the discussion. Under a law
prohibiting the intermarriage of whites and
blacks the couple was arrested and bound
over to the grand jury in the sum Of $500.
The man is James Walker and the woman
Halle Shaffer. The arrest of the couple has
stirred up much Indignation among the coll
ored people over the State, w. II. Stokes
and II. l.. Durham. representative colored
citizens of Muncie attended the meeting held
here last night and expressed the sentiment
of their race at Muncie.
The discussion was led by William Watson
Woollen who enlightened the society as TO
the different laws that have been enacted
in the State and which operate against the
colored people All of these laws, he said
have been abrogated except the statute pro-
hibiting marriage between the races. Per-
sonally the speaker did not believe in ANAL
gamation, but he was in favor of wiping out
all laws that operate against the negro
The literary and musical programme of the
evening was sandwiched with nve-minute
talks by colored orators. Among the speak
ers were Joseph Ward, A. +. Manning Ca
briel Jones, Geo. l.. Knox, Mrs Lillian
Thomas Fox, j. T. V. Hill and Allison
Sweeney. All of the speakers considered the
law in question an obnoxious one. They be-
lieved that a colorei man should be per-
mitted TO marry the woman Of his choice
regardless of her color.
1t was the sense of the society that move
ment looking toward the notification of this
particular law should be inaugurated at once
the following executive committee was APP
pointed: w. H Stokes. James +. " Hill.
Joseph Ward, Mrs. Lillian Thomas Fox and
@. L. Knox. The committees duty will be
TO secure the promise of each legislative cam
didate that he will vote TO repeal the Of
fensive law during the session of the next
General Assembly.

men on the elevator were Frank Vajen and
George Stroebel, clerks in the store, and
an unknown colored man. who had gone
into the store to purchase shovel. In
the confusion that followed no one asked
him his name, and the colored man walked
out.
Mr.. Vajen was more seriously hurt than
Mr.. Stroebel. His ankle was badly wrenched
and the bones of his foot were crushed.
His thumb was pulled out Of joint so the

John II. Brush returned home from New

that If a prediction can be formed by the

any year in baseball history. few minor
changes were made I'm the playing rules,
the most important of which is the grant
ing of power TO the umpire 10 put from the
grounds player with an unruly tongue.
For the benefit Of some patrons OF the game
the effect OF this new rule might be ex-
planned by saying:
''If a player gets gay with the umpire.
out OF the game and off OF the grounds he
goes. and there will be more chewin
of the rag from the bench between Mr..
Player and Mr.. Umpire after MIR. Player
has been ordered out of the game" This
is not Mr.. Brush's way of stating Ii, how
ever.
The most important thing to the patrons
OF the Western League which the National
organization has done l. the classification
OF the minor leagues. The Western is
right next to the National in Importance.
Each OF the minor leagues can have pro-
lection by signing the national agreement.
and then no minor league player can be
drafted unless his club is paid for the loss.

UNKNOWN MAN FOUND DYING.


An unknown man was found lying at the
bottom of a gravel pit near the Haughvlle
chemical works yesterday forenoon Peo-
pie passing the pit observed him lying upon
his face and went to his assistance when it
was discovered that he was dying. A tee-
phone message was sent to the City Hos
pital. Upon their arrival the doctors found
him nearly dead. BY artificial means his
respiration was sufficiently restored TO make
1t worth while to take him TO the hospital.
On the way there he nearly ceased breath
ing twice. After working with him several
hours, the doctors reported he might re-
cover. He had taken morphine. An empty
paper labeled morphine" was found beside
him. Nobody knew him. Late last night
he had not been identified. He is about
forty-five years old He has a black beard
and rnustache. Judging from his general
appearance, he is a working man. He may
be one OF the several men who have dis
appeared from home recently.
The man died at midnight. There is no
clew TO his identity.

Attorney-general Ketcham yesterday fur
nished Auditor Daily with an opinion. the
effect OF which is TO bar the Security Trust

applied for permission TO transact business
in the state. The sworn assets indicated
the company TO be in substantial condi-
ton There was large sum of cash shown
TO be on hand, besides securities in railroad
and city of Philadelphia bonds. The State
law. however. provides that securities OF
companies doing business must be i'm gov
eminent. State or county bonds. The Sc
curity of the Philadelphia company ap-
peared good. so Mr.. Daily asked for advice
Mr.. Ketcham replies that the law is very
plain on the question. and says that other
security than that named by the law should
not be accepted. The question Is one that
has not heretofore been brought to the at
tention OF the insurance department. The
Philadelphia company had $sl, 400 secured
