WILL NOT OPPOSE TURPIE.
Governor Matthews willing to Give
Him Another Term.

Ex-Governor Matthews was in the city
for a short time yesterday. The ex-Gov-
ernor has been giving all of his attention
to the affairs of his Vernlllion-county farm
and has not been paying much attention
to politics He had time to say in regard
to the senatorial question that he would
not be candidate in opposition to Senator
Tlrpie. On this subject he is quoted as
follows:

tions for the future may be- If he de-
sires a reelection, he has good grounds
upon which to base his claims. He has
been a faithful and loyal senator to the
people of Indiana. and to-day there is not
a member of the Senate SURPRISING him in
point of ability or usefulness. No senator
is accorded a more earnest hearing when
he addresses that body. Fearless and posi-
tive, you always know where to find him.
There will be no clashing of interests
between the senator and myself, and he
will have no warmer friend In all his cir
Gle of friends. Should he conclude to re-
tire at the expiration of his present term,
and not become a candidate, then it will
be in order seriously to consider his sue

Early yesterday morning while the Union
Station train sheds were crowded with
women and children about to take an ex-
cursion train for picnic, horse attached
to a spring wagon and driven by boy
dashed into the place from the Meridian
street entrance. The horse was thoroughly
frightened The quick turn threw the boy
out and pulled the front wheel away from
the bed and remainder of the wagon. With
this dragging behind him the horse ran at
full speed toward the crowd of people. They
retreated but their lunch baskets were lett
behind, and several picnic dinners were
scattered about the place. The horse ran
through the shed and out into Capitol ave-

WILL FIGHT THE TRUST.
Nat Goodwin and Fanny Davenport
Will Help Fight a Theatrical
Com bination.

Kansas City, Feb. 12.-Opposition to
the 'theater trust has been secretly
forming ever since the organization of
that combine, and slowly but surely II
has gained strength, and within the in
ner circles of theatrical affairs it is
known that Nat Goodwin has already
arranged plan for vigorous cam
paign against the syndicate next sea-
son. 1t includes not only his fellow
actors, but a circuit of theaters as well.
1t simply means that the combine Will
be fought with its own weapons.
AS is well known among theatrical
people, the powerful managers, Al Hay
men, Rich & Harris, Klaw & ErIanger
of New York, and Nixon & Zimman
of Philadelphia. last spring or earlier
formed a combine which embraced one
or more of the leading play-houses in
every large city, including st. Louis
newest theater, the Century, the Tabor
City, besides others in Chicago, Cincin-
natl, Philadelphia, New York San
Francisco and elsewhere.
Protests naturally arose at once from
all over the country, but no actor or
company, however powerful, dared to
declare open war without a period of
reflection. There was one intrepid star,
however, who asserted her independ-
ence ahead of all others, early as
last spring, and that one was Miss
Fanny Davenport. She has been pur-
suing her career of independence dur
ing the present season, and though her
bOOn4Is5S nave 1Ol bSOA IldQS 1OI nSAI
year she proposes to act consistently
with past declarations and in opposi-
ton to the trust, her managers feeling
confident in her own ability to draw
crowds, no matter in what theaters she
may play.
Kirk Lashella, the enterprising young
manager for The Wizard of the Nile
declared last week his willingness to
stand against the syndicate. Among
the others said to be in active sympa-
thy with the opposition are Francis
Wilson, the Lilliputians, Whitney's
Brian Boru company and Frank Dan
ielS.

IN THE NAME OF HEAVEN.
Pretty Feminine Feet Were Sold to
the Highest Bidders.

New York Feb. 1.-THE ''Trilby par
ty of the First Methodist Episcopal
church, of Bath Beach, is an innovation
in church entertainments herea bouts II
was given last week at the home of
Peter c. Moore, and Melted $14 for the
pastors benefit. Between the front and
back parlors a sheet had been hung
from the ceiling. so that it came within
six inches of the floor. Deacon Jacob
c, Moore, as auctioneer, explained that
a number of feet would shortly appear
on the foot rest. To each foot would be
attached a numbered tag, tied by a
string about the ankle. The young men
present would bid on the foot in order of
numbers. An upset price of % cents
for sale and bids of greater amount than
so cents would be discouraged.
When the foot had been Knocked down
to a bidder a coupon bearing it's number
was given to the successful bidder. The
foot would be Withdrawn, and its more
Immediate proprietor would go upstairs
and in due time return to the front
room with her feet clothed and in their
high shoes. The ankle check and the
buyers coupon were matched and the
buyer took the owner of the foot out to
supper, which was served to purchasers
of feet without extra charge.
Almost every foot sold for the limit
and only one person was dissatisfied
with the result that came downstairs.
One young man waiting eXpectantly for
his purchase had the pleasure of dis
covering that he had paid so cents for
his sisters foot.
