There has been an earnest attempt made
to abolish the secret sessions of the senate,
but it has been Intellectual. These sessions
are called executive sessions because
they are almost wholly devoted to exec
utiye business-namely, the consideration
of appointments to oIice and foreign trea
ties. 1t seems to me that it is quite as
necessary and appropriate that the con-
situations in the senate as to appointments,
and especially as to treaties, should be con-
fidentiGl as that the conferences between
the president and his cabinet, or between
the president and Others whom he may
consult about the same matters, should be

Defective People In Novels.

By the way, have often wondered why
some cartcaturist has not produced por-
traits Of sonae we'll known characters Of
fiction, using in the picture only the ele-
ments Of the form and articles Of clothing
that are plainly mentioned by the authors
and leaving all the rest blank. The great
majority Of the figures SO depicted would
have no ears. Many Of them would have
no noses There would be large numbers
Of cleverly drawn faces without any bodies
at all, and some Of the people would consist
Of nothing but clothes. Probably all Of
them would have some clothes. Most Of
the nice people would have delicate hands
and long, tapering fingers, including those
who are low born, but high minded. Coarse
people Of all sorts would be apt, In this col
lection, to have large and clumsy hands,
but great numbers of the ordinary run Of
people would be entirely handles. Prob
ably not one picture in the collection would

A. CROOK ALL HIS LIFE.
IxarIe Sneered at the Detectives After
He Was Sentenced.


John Karle, a colored man charged with
burglary and petit larceny, was tried in
the Criminal Court yesterday. He was ac-
cused of stealing some shoes. John o.
Spahr, his attorney. declared his client had
a meritorious defense and asked that he
be given day in which to procure wit
nesses. In the meantime, the state went on
with the case and examined the prosecuting
witnesses. Then Mr.. Spahr told the pris-
oner to take the witness stand. assistant
Prosecutor Afford asked Karle how he
came to have the shoes he was charged
with stealing. Karle said they were given
to him, but declined to say who the donor
was.
Judge McCray came to the conclusion that
Karle was guilty and fixed his punishment
under the indeterminate law, which will
keep him imprisoned from two to fourteen
years. After he left the witness stand the
prisoner approached Prosecutor Afford and
remarked in an undertone: ITO tell you the
truth about it, I'd rather take two years
than be followed about by these detectives
If they turned me loose I'd have to kill a
detective and that would get me into worse
trouble"
Before Karle was taken back to the Jail
Detective Thornton talked with him. Thorn
ton remarked to the prisoner that the po-
lice department knew all about him and
his record. The prisoners lip curled with a
Sneer as he turned away from Thornton
and he remarked to Afford: 1.-THE fact is
I've been a crook all my life, but these
ID detectives have never found 1t out. !"

THE HARVARD MEETING.
Delegates from Western Cities to Be
Here To-day.

There will be convention at the Denison
to-day of the representatives of the Har-
ward clubs Of the West and Southwest, for
the purpose of nominating a Western man
for the board of overseers of Harvard Uni
versity Until within the last few years the
overseers have been exclusively from Mas
sachusetts and New York city. But one
Western man, George Everett Adams, of
Chicago is at present d member of the
board and his term expires in 1898.
In the evening the Indiana Harvard Club
will entertain the visiting delegates. The
officers of the Indiana Harvard Club, just
elected, are DR.. Edward f. Hodges, presi-
dent; James A. c. Cotter, vice president,
George E. Hume secretary, and Horace E.
Smith, treasurer.
The business meeting in the afternoon is
to be held at the Century clubroom. Dele
gates will be here from Cincinnati, ST.
Louis, Chicago and other cities where there
are Harvard clubs. Some prominent Har-
ward graduate of one of the larger cities of
the West will probably be nominated. 1t is
expected the meeting will give an impetus
to the movement in Indiana to advance the
interests of the great Eastern university in
this State. Next June the Harvard exami-
nations for Indiana will be held for the
first time in this city.
