SIGNS ON STREET CARS
An ina Requiring Illuminated
Ones at Night.

There have been many complaints from
patrons of the Street Car Company at the
inadequacy of the system of distinguishing
care at night. 1t has been necessary for
passengers to rush out into the streets as
every car approached. as there was no
way of telling over what route it was to
go until it was almost upon them. At the
Council meeting last night Mr.. Dudley in
PRODUCED an ordinance TO regulate the
street cars in this respect. 1t is believed
that the Council has this authority in exer-
cising it's police powers. Mr.. Dudley's or
dinance provides:
THAT all street cars owned and operated
bv anv street-raiIway company within the
limits of the city of indianapolis, Ind, are
hereby required to be furnished and
equipped with an illuminated sign TO be
displayed at night on front of said car or
cars designating in letters of a size to be
plainly read at a distance of not less than
100 feet the route over which said cars run.
Sec. 2. Any conductor, driver or motor
man having charge or control of any street.
railway car, upon any of the street rail-
ways of the city of indianapolis, ana any
manager, superintendent or president Oh
any street-railway company owning a car
not equipped with an Illuminated sign as
provided in this ordinance; snail, upon con-
viction thereof, be deemed guilty of a mis-
demeanor and fined any sum not less IMAM
$40 nor more than $25, and eacn time Sucn
car is run on any trip within the city snall
be considered a separate and distinct Vio-
lation of this ordinance and a separate and
distinct offense.'

WASHINGTON, May 3.-It was a sore
band of rooters who left the grounds after
to-day's game. There were but two hun
dred of them. The field was very wet, and
the cold weather threatened rain, which
finally came, but not before Umpire Lynch
had rightfully forfeited the game to New
York. Mercer, who is considered weak in
the wet, was pounded for seven runs in the
second inning. When it. became apparent
ators endeavored TO prolong the game, so
that the rain would become so heavy that
five innings could not be finished. This
was done in such a clumsy manner that
Umpire Lynch forfeited the game. The
game was terminated with only two men
out in the last inning. Attendance, 200.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
In your issue of to-day appeared an ar

posed to have been thrown some side lights
upon the baseball contest of last Saturday.
This article was an explanation of the re-
suit of the baseball contest, from an L. L.
man's standpoint, and a grave accusation
against De Pauw's fairness, decency and
hospitality. Anyone who has kept in touch
with college athletics in Indiana will un-
derstand that this was nothing more than
a cowardty attempt to shake off the un-
comfortable feeling subsequent to defeat
after a long season of indisputable supre-
macy. To those less intimately acquainted

Who Is So wei Provided For,

There is no one, perhaps. who groans
more over hard times than the farmer,
and yet, who is so well provided for? In
what manufacturers or traders home can
you go and find such stores laid up for
winter?
Hear the buzz of the steam saw, as it
cuts and slashes piles of wood almost as
high as the house-enough for all winter.
Hear the suffering of great pots of lard,
as it is cooking in fireplaces or upon cook
stoves. Go down cellar and look at the
pork barrels, the butter tubs and great bins
OF potatoes and apples, pumpkins and cab
bages. Go to the garrett and behold yards
upon yards of sausage, and bags after
bags of dried fruits. Go to the smoke
house and look upon all the hams and
shoulders. Go to the barn and behold the
grain there stored, and ask yourself what
manufacturer or tradesman would not
consider himself rich with such a show
for winter-to say nothing about the milk
and eggs and poultry that are coming in
every day.
But it seems to be the fashion of every
farmer to groan when some one is going
ahead of him. or he does not get tiptop
prices for everything he produces.
j often think if some farmers would
spend as much time in thanking God for
the mercies they receive, as they do in
growing, they would prosper much more,
or, certainly have a greater right to
claim such divine promises, as: "He whose
delight is in the law of the Lord shall be
like tree planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth his fruit in his sea-
son: his leaf also shall not wither; and
whatsoever he doeth shall prosper" Mrs.
A. e. c. Maskell.

Japanese PIums.

Referring to the varieties Of japanese
plums most in favor for this seasons
planting, especially in the lower south and
the Gulf region. A. II. Manville writes as
follows:
The introduction of Japanese plums has
no parallel in the history Of American po-
mology. In other fruits gradual develop
ment has given rise to our lists OF APP
proved varieties-an occasional discovery,
an importation here and an importation
there. But, in the case Of the Japanese
plums. we have an important class In
leading fruit, comprising many varieties,
transferred from one continent to another,
proving eminently well adapted In Its new
home, and at once taking leading place
Since the dissemination Of Kelsey, little
more than ten years ago, over fifty varie-
ties of japanese piums, as listed by prof.
Bailey, have been introduced, and are
more or less well known in this country
AS a class they are especially suited 70

true In the coast belt, where some OF the
varieties have given remarkable results

No fowl can be reared with as much
profit and with so little care as the goose,
says the Poultry Fancier. After they have
attained the age of months but little at
tention is required other than supplying
plenty of fresh water. a good grass range
and a scrupulously dry roosting place,
which must also be free from lice and
other Vermin fatal to the young.
1t is impossible to provide free range,
the next best substitute is wire netting,
which need be but about eighteen inches
high to confine them until matured. Give
them fresh water twice each day, also
green food, such as turnip tops, celery and
cabbage, or allow them free range morn
ing and evening.
When Thanksgiving time arrives, you
can generally dispose of young goslings
at 10 cents per pound, and their average
weight will be about ten pounds. Sup
pose for instance, you have twelve goose
let's at 81 each, the receipts from the sale
would be S12, and the cost of feed has been
but a trifle. 1t is safe to say that your
profit will have been $40 on the transac-
ton. OF course, they cannot always be
disposed of at 81 each; but, on the other
hand, the price is often more than dol
lar; hence we take it as a basis on which
to figure. We doubt if fancy fowls would
pay better, considering, of course, that
we always have a ready market for our
geese. By crossing a China gander on
Toulouse geese large goslings are obtain
ed, quick to grow, nicely marked, with
medium length necks, yellow bills and re-
markedly easy to domesticate.

Barred Plymouth Rocks.

New breeds have come and gone, but
Plymouth Rocks always remain favorites.
They have been termed Americas
IDOLS and there is no other variety, the
product of American skill in breeding,
that can be put on the market of the
world with so much pride. There is no
other that is received from our shores
by foreign fanciers with such favor. The
strongest proof of the superiority of this
breed is that 1t has successfully stood the
boom of score of new varieties, and has
met and vanquished inferior ones and still
lives. Other breeds have their booms, but
the Plymouth Rock keeps on it's steady
course, winning greater and greater pop
ularity with each succeeding year. This
favor has been won by merit. and by
merit it retains what it has won. 1t is
the farmers delight, the poultry stand
by and the villagers last friend for meat,
size, laying qualities, vigOr and quickness
of growth. There are few breeds that
will not suffer by comparison. The diff
fcult union of qualities make the Barred
Plymouth Rocks perennial favOrites. For
market they are one of the best breeds,
being large, plump-bodied and full-breast-
ed, clean yellow legs and the skin sweet
and Juicy.-Poultry Keeper
