SUBURBAN AFFAIRS.
The West Indianapolis Library Keeps
Boys on the Street.

The reading rooms in the new library in
West indianapolis are affording a new at
traction for many of the youths who We're
formerly to be found loafng about the
streets Of the suburb in the evening. Every
evening since the library was opened to
the public the reading rooms have been
crowded with visitors. a majority of whom
are boys under sixteen years of age Over
two hundred cards have been issued to bor-
rowers since the opening last Tuesday, and
"a large number of applications are coming
in each day. The attaches have had some
difficulty in keeping the young visitors to
the reading rooms from talking and dis
turbing others who are present. Since the
opening quite number of books have been
donated by people who have favored the
project. Among the donations are Modern
Machine Shop Practice" two volumes
from ". Il. West; Picturesque America"
from Baker & Thornton; History of In
diana" and THE Political Conflict in Amer
lea" from j. w. Smith and Manners and
Customs of To-day" from Clark Brown.
There is on exhibition in the reading rooms
a copy of London General Epistle of the
Society of Friends. ISL 1t is the prop
erty of Mr.. g p Preston of South REFS
ner street, and is well preserved for
volume 113 years old. 1t is printed on folio
about by Is inches in size.
Fred Edgerly, who claims the State of
Texas as his home, was arrested at Bright
wood, about IL o'clock yesterday morning,
for attempting to steal an overcoat from
Frank Roeschs boarding house, at the cor
ner of Station street and Glen drive. He
came to the house Friday night and Sc
cured lodging, saying that he was ma
chininst from Texas, looking for work Be
tween and 10 o'clock yesterday morning
he secured an overcoat belonging to a
boarder named Herring, and threw it out
of a window in the second story. Some
boys who were playing the street saw
him throw out the coat, and before he
could descend and secure it they gave the
alarm, and the culprit, seeing that he was
discovered, started on a run for the coun-
try. The crowd of boys on the street took
after him and peted him with stones. clubs
and anything they could get hold of, and,
as the chase extended. the crowd of boys
increased until about score were in pur-
suit of the fleeing man. They finally cap
tured the culprit and marched him back TO
the boarding house, and Marshal New
house was summoned and removed the
prisoner to the county jail.

gains, nay, more than that, they will live
so far below such gains as their farms Will
yield that the difference between the gross
and net profits on their holdings and indus
tries will be the merest trifie. 1t is truly
said that n European family will live on
what an American family will throw away
and the manner of life among the Italians
in our cities is pretty well known. We do
not desire that Americans shall live in the
same manner. but some of them might use
a better economy in their expenditures
Were our people as willing to fit themselves
to the station in life in which fortune, or
more frequently, competence has placed
them. there would be less poverty and dis
content and foreigners would not be COM
ing over here to take up our vacant farms.

many instances, in the multiplication of
mental and physical maladies and the pre-
mitigation OF crime tendencies.
1t is particularly necessary that the Ar
glo-Saxon race should give this subject at
tention. In France, Germany and other
countries where military service is eXacted
through CONSUMPTION. the average of men,
tai and physical being is exalted Just what
should be done in England and the United
States is difficult to define, for the opera
ton of restrictive measures would neces-
sarily be fraught with much contention, as
mankind is sensitive at mention OF its In
firmities. But IT, as scientists agree. We
have nine kinds OF idiocy and six kinds Of
madness. not TO speak Of the familiar
forms OF hop less physical ailments and in
corrigible deDraV:y, something should be
done TO prevent the propagation of these
incurable blen.shes on the human race.
