A SWINDLER CAPTURED.
Caught While Working 81 Very Bold
scheme on Arthur Jordan d Co.

Detective Richards yesterday made a
good capture in the form of a man who
gave his name as E. Bartel, though it is
known that this is not his real name. Yes
terday morning Bartel went TO the office
of Arthur Jordan & Co. and made a con-
tract to buy $50 worth of feathers. He rep
resented himself as an agent of j. G.
Hirschman, a local bed and mattress man
ufacturer, but he aroused the suspicious of
E.. E. Clark, the clerk who waited on him,
by selecting a different kind of feathers
from the ones used by Hirschman. Some
ruse was brought into play by which the
transfer of the goods was postponed until
a later hour. Bartel left the store and
Clark Immediately telephoned to Hirsch-
man and asked him if he had a man in MS
employ answering to the description or the
impostor. Clark was informed that no such
man was working for Hirschman and he
notified detective Richards of the attempt
to get the goods. Richards went to the
Arthur Jordan Company and made arrange
mentS by which the fellow could be cap
tured. Bartel appeared with an express
wagon, in which he loaded the feathers and
the detective and Mr.. Clark. They started
after the fellow and he, when he saw that
his scheme was not working, jumped from
the wagon and started to run, but was cap
tured and taken to the station house, where
he was charged with obtaining goods under
false pretenses.
From all appearances the fellow has been
working the same kind of a game In many
ically, going to his hunting grounds and,
first selecting all of the larger firms and
learning the places where they trade. In
his pocket he carried a letter from Mar
eighty pounds of goose feathers. This fur
nlShed an outlet for his feathers.

If Bryan should be elected. His election
would be a signal for such a wholesale sac
rifice of property as we have never seen.
The whole country, from one end to the

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
Mr. Bryan seems to think that a govern
ment organized more than a hundred years
ago and now b~oasting of seventy millions
of inhabitants ought to be able to main
tain a monetary system wholly independent
of other nations. Then why not suggest
that the great State of Indiana, with it's
vast wealth and intelligent people, might
declare its independence of other States
the people in the way of weights and
limit of a pound anywhere from ten to
twelve ounces. What a vast advantage it
would give the farmers in selling their
stock and their odGce If ten ounces
We're recognized as a pound it might en-
able the farmer to sell his wheat at what
he considers a living price. The retail mer-
chants of Indiana, knowing they can buy
their goods ar wholesale in other States.
would hail with delight the lawful privilege
of retailing them out to their customers
measured with a thirty-inch yardstick.
Then, if the measurement of time was
changed SO as to have thirty minutes in
stead of sixty constitute an hour, 1t would
give the laboring man 81 chance to complete
his days work in five hours instead of
ten. OF course. there would be a strong
opposition to such a plan, but there are
always parties who are ready to oppose
any change intended fer the benefit of the
people. JAMES

An UNNATURAL MOTHER.
A Tiger that Made a Meal of Two of
Her aptive-Born Young.

Bessie. a female tiger of the royal vari-
ETY. in the Ringing Bros collections of
wild animals, gave birth to three baby
tigers recently. The next morning James
Rafferty,. the boss animal man. found the
little kitten-like animals in the cage with
the mother. The usual precautions taken
in such cases We're observed. The cage
was darkened by having the outside COW
ers carefully placed against the bars, fresh
milk was placed in the den for the mother
and the den was removed TO a quiet part
of the tent, where the mother and her
young would be free from all disturbance
and noise.
Tigers are very seldom born in captivity,
and of the young a very small percentage
is raised, but these specimens were so fine
looking and gamboled about the den in
such a lively manner that Superintendent
Rafferty, thought he had at last secured a
litter of baby tigers that, by careful at
%tention, could be brought to maturity. A
little before noon a strange noise was
heard emanating from the den containing
the tiger and her young, and Rafferty,,
with several assistants, hurried to the
scene.
When the covers were taken from the
den and light admitted it was found that
the unnatural mother had devoured two
of her offspring and was about to con-
clude her strange repast by making des-
Ei"
rested upon the body of the remaining
young tiger, while with the other she
fought the iron rods which the men quick
ly showed through the bars to prevent the
enraged beast from carrying out her de-
signs. All the time the baby tiger, with
its thin new voice, was whining piteously
but seemed to awaken no maternal instinct
in the mother. C'Brien, one of the attend
ants, at this j%uncture inserted his arm be-
tween the bars and attempted to snatch
the little one from under the paws of the
tigress. The foolhardy attempt might have
cost him his life. for quick as a flash the
animals claws came in contact with his
arm, and had it not been for the heavy
coat worn by O'Brien the results would
have been serious. As it was the claws
caught In the sleeve of the coat and the
other attendants belabored the beast so
vigorously that O'Brien had an opportunity
to withdraw his arm before the tiger could
get a frmer hold. During this exciting
episode the tiger released her hold on the
young one and the latter was drawn out of
the cage by means of an iron scraper. The
little things back had been broken in the
scrimmage and it lived only a few minutes
after being taken from the cage. OF the
two devoured by the mother only the heads
remained to tell the story of the ferocious
animals uncanny meal.

been brooding over the state of affairs and
in a moment OF insanity committed the
terrible deed. Mr. Green has received LEI
ters of sympathy from a large number of
the passenger fraternity, with whom he is
very popular.
A traffic official says that the Cincinnati.
Hamilton * Dayton takes exceptions 20
the statement that the time it's trains are
making is entirely satisfactory TO them,
and that the Monon VIII have to assume
the whole change if faster time is to be
made between Chicago and Cincinnati. The
c., H. &. d. will join the Menon, 1t is said,
at any time in making as fast time as its
councillors, and ii is expected that after
to make as good If not better time than
the eight-hour schedule. The item alluded
to was based on information given by a
Transportation official. In railroad circles
it will be understood that traffic transpor-
tation officials do not agree on all oUas-
tons: especially when it is desired TO m
crease the speed of trains is the transpor-
tation official inclined to be obstinate.
The latest DEVELOPMENT in new rolling
stock for railroads Is the hospital car. The
first one has been put in operation on the
Plant system and is a miniature hospital
on wheels. 1t is expected the idea will soon
be adopted by every railroad in the coun-
try. There have already been relief cars
intended simply for the transfer of injured
employees and passengers, but the belief
has always been strong that an actual hos
pital would be practicable. Now whenever
there is an accident on a road this hospital
car is at once hurried to the scene. and the
victim may receive the same treatment as
if he were in a city institution. With the
delay in the relief of a sufferer, for even
operations may be performed while in
transit; and this, too, under the most ia
vorable conditions. It is generally con-
name, economic and up-to-date idea that
will be the means of saving many lives.

Wcmen in the Campaign.

To Republican Women:
The honorable recognition given to wom-
en- by the national Republican committee
should be knowled by them in en-
bracing the present opportunity to serve
the Republican party and the country.
Never We're there more powerful and OBJ
Vious motives for persistent and united eff
fort among women than now. Morality and
unity, the indispensable supports of the
home and the Nation, are being assailed.
Where is security for the future honesty
of our sons if they are now taught the les
sons of reputation? Where is security for
our national Union that cost us suffering
and blood. if partisan misrepresentation
and intrigue ALLEVIATE the South and West
from the North and East?
In the name of good faith and honesty.
of union and prosperity, We urge women
everywhere to help maintain the Nations
honor and unity. This can be done most
effectively by united effort in forming
woman Republican clubs, or Mckinney
and Hobart clubs or sound-money clubs.
where women can meet and discuss the
great issues of the campaign and can con-
suit as to plans and methods of influence
ing voters. In connection with and under
the supervision of the national Republican
committee, the woman'S branch of the work
has opened headquarters in the Auditorium
Annex, Chicago, where all communication
to me should be addressed. | shall be
pleased to communicate with any person
relative TO any phase of the work and to
furnish campaign literature and constitu-
tons for the formation of local clubs. /

platform for Mckinley and Hobart. and

There is something not altogether pleas
ing in the report from London that Henry
Irving proposes TO appear next season in
a stage portrayal of the personality of
George Washington. Granting, as We
cheerfully do, that Mr.. Irving is a capable
and conscientious actor, and that the char
acter and career of WashInSt ION would lend
themselves to vivid dramatic treatment, 1t
is still doubtful whether such an enterprise
would have any other effect than that of
shocking the sensibilities of the English
speaking public. The theme is one of
questionable propriety, to say the least,
and Mr.. Irving might prohtably conclude
to leave it untouched by the embellish-
mentS of stage art.
