French Horses, However, Are Superior to
>.z5 Those Used Hero. J., n ,
The French horseman does not ride
as we'll as his prototype in the United
States regular army, but the horses Of
the French army are better and more
serviceable than those in the United
States The half bred barbs Of the
chasseurs are up to any amount Of work,
and the heavier Normans and Bretons
Of the dragons and cuirassiers, although
perhaps too light for the weight they
carry, are splendid specimens Of horse
flesh. The French artillery-believed
elsewhere than in France to be the corps
d'elite of the army-was beyond praise
The physique of the personnel Of the
field and horse batteries is superior to
that Of the line, and the average eff
cheney Of the officers is higher. The
steel gun that it is armed with is a
most effective weapon-the feldpiece
of 30 NM, weighing 1913 hundred
weight, and firing a 1898 pound COM
mon shell, 1876 pound shrapnel; the
horse artillery gun weighing 8. SO hun
dredweight, with a 1916 pound COM
mon shell and a IS. "a shrapnel.
The large number of batteries at
tached to an army corps-more than
four guns to, 1000 infantry and cav
alry-is not the only indication that
the French place great reliance upon
their artillery. The batteries as they
marched past presented an admira-
BILE appearance. The old maxim of
"spit and polish" was not as mi
nutely carried out as is the case with
the batteries of the United States regu-
lar army. The steel names and collar
chains were in some instances not as
bright as they might have been, nor
were the leather harnesses absolutely
immaculate, but the horses are beyond
criticism, and everything pertaining to
each piece and each caisson is thorough
~ serviceable and businesslike. New

SEEBACH AND THE AGENT.

A German Story of an American Attempt
to Boom = Sewing Machine.
The following story, which was pub
lished in German in connection with
the death of Marie Seebach, the noted
German actress, shows very we'll the
conception of American affairs which
still prevails in Germany to a certain
extent. Seebach was here more than 20
years ago, and it is scarcely possible
that such an incident as is described
would have taken place then, but many
such stories are told in Germany today
as illustrative of American enterprise.
According to this "Reminiscences Marie
-Seebach one day received a message that
a gentleman wished to see her. She
told the servant to send him to her
drawing room in the hotel, and when
he arrived he introduced himself as q
certain Colonel Smith. Then he plunged
at the object Of his visit and said that
he represented certain we'll known
make of sewing machines ~. i
II have already heard, I" he said,
"that you are great artist. I want to
find out if you are good business wo-
man as we'll. Do you want to make
some money! IT, -, a.
"Oh, I've no objections to make to
that she said, III it. is possible in q
perfectly correct and sdignified way. 49,

continued, land offer you SIC, 900 for
doing it. = u E., : -. 1*

ed Seebach. .,~l. y<.ssssss,'
Nothing in the world, = the colonel
replied, and as he noticed the express,
sion Of astonishment on her face hs
went on: II told you that came from
a sewing machine company-one of the
largest in the world. All that demand
of you in return for the $40, 900 is that
as Marguerite in the spinning wheel
scene from Faust you will use one of
our sewing machines instead Of the
wheel, and just keep it in motion for a
few seconds. Then we would let hand
bills drop from the gallery, saying that
the machine used by Marie seebach
was made by our flrm.''
The actress is said to have hesitated
for q second, but, in the end, her re-
spect for Goethe's tragedy is described
as the feeling which saved her artistic
reputation.
This story is Of a. type that disap-
peared from general use 40 years ago.
1t is of the kind told about P. T. Bar
mum in the earlier days of his career,
but stories Of the kind still pass muster

country would soon lose his job.-New

City SnTitarian Again Describes
"HauIabIe" Garbage.

City Sanitarian Clark says that the re-
suits of free collections of garbage for the
two or three days that the system has been
in vogue have not been altogether satisfac-
tory, probably because people are not edu-
Gated yet as to what garbage" means as
used in the contract with John r. Nc
Carthy. In many places the collectors have
found old shoes clothing, grass from the
lawns weeds and various other stuff that
is not to be hauled away by the collectors
impress that the word garbage means
what might more properly be called dry
slopS, that is, parings from fruit and Vege-
tables, IOttIeS, cans, etc, but not old
clothes nor cuttings from the lawns. He
says that the collectors will refuse to re-
move such stuff, and will notify the Board
Of Health. The board will compel people
to remove such refuse themselves.
In order to facilitate the collections and
to aid the men in learning their routes Dr.
Clark requests that people keep a watch
for them on the days collections are to be
made in their districts. The approach of
the collectors is easily known, the mules
have bells on their harness. The sanitarian
says that if people will show the collectors
there will be less cause for complaint. He
emphasizes the fact that back gates must
be left unfaStened so that the collectors
can get in. 1t is not permissible for people
to set their cans in the alley, he says, as
the ordinance requires that they shall be
inside the property line and as near it as
possible. Within a week or so, after people

SLID ON HER FACE.
A Woman, Returning from a Beer
Garden, Jumps OF Car.

Yesterday morning, at o'clock, two men
and a woman called at the city dispensary
and awakened DIR. Thomas to have him
dress a bad wound in the womans face
She was May Johnson, of 1862 West Wash
ington street. She and the young men and
others had been out to a beer garden all
night and the woman had become intoxi-
Gated. They came back in a North In
dianapolis line owl car. The woman be-
came offended at something one of the men
said to her and jumped off the car while
it was going at fun speed. She alighted
on the side of her face and slid along the
asphalt of North Illinois street, at old Sec
ond street, for distance of ten or fifteen
feet. She remained on the ground uncon-
scouS and the car came on down town.
An effort was made to get an ambulance
to go for her. but the city dispensary's
ambulance was out on q run, and before
the one from the hospital could be sent
the street-car people sent q special car
from the Thirteenth-street barn and
brought the woman down. She was able to
walk from the car to the dispensary. All
the skin had been rubbed off the side of her
face and there were several small gashes
besides. The dust and grit of the street
had imbedded itself in the flesh and 1t was
almost impossible to get it out. She was
finally patched up and sent home, still
drunk

THIS JOKE VERY HOARY.
Fire Apparatus Called Out on West
IndIanapOlis's 'WelI" Trick.

Yesterday evening the West indianapolis
crowd which is in the habit Of playing the
'welI joke upon unsuspecting persons
worked 1t upon a new night Waterman at
the stock yards, and it may be that the
joke will result in an end of the fun.
There is big we'll near the
stock yards which has d large iron
pipe extending from the bottom of it to
distance of forty fifty feet away. A
person talking through the pipe from the
distance creates the idea that the voice
get the victim to go to the we'll with some
one. Then his attention is drawn away
for a moment and the man runs around
behind a house to the end of the pipe
About this time the crowd begins to gath
err and the voice from the we'll calls out
feebly that the sucker knocked him in
the well. There is always a good deal of
fun and usually there is a policeman ready
TO arrest the man as a murderer. He is
allowed to run TO a dummy telephone and
talk his head off trying to get the fire de-
partment to send ladder wagon to get the
man out of the well.
Last night a new Waterman about the
place sent to the telephone and he
got hold of the real telephone In a few
moments the telephone operator at fire
headquarters had sent truck No 2 from the
South-street house to West indianapolis
Chief Barrett was notified and he drove
rapidly to the place where he supposed a
man had fallen into a well. He was in
dignant when he learned how the call hap
Dened to be made. He Will write letter
to-day TO Superintendent Zion, of the Belt
road, asking that the joke be stopped. He
says 1t was an outrage to have the fire
apparatus called out on such an affair.

SUCKER AND RED HORSE.
A Fish Dispute That Led TO the Stab
bling Of John WeIch.

Yesterday afternoon Joseph Dawson, jr
a young man about nineteen years old
stabbed and badly wounded John WEIGH a
potato peddler well-known to the police
under his sobriquet. English john" The
men Quarroled near the corner of West and
Washington streets. 1t seems that "Reddy"
West and Dawson quarreled first about the
names of fishes. Dawson assumed that he
knew all about fish for the reason that
he had been employed two days in a fish
market. He told West as much in the
course of the argument. Just then WEIGH
"chipped in"
Say young fellow" he said "you think
you're the whole thing, but bet you do
know the difference between white sucker
and a red horse"
Dawson promptly Informed WEIGH that
there was no difference; that those were
two different names for the same fish This
led 10 a dispute and finally the lie was
passed and the two Inen were about to
make things warm for Dawson. The boy
pulled a knife and stabbed the first one
that came toward him. Wcch was taken
to the Office OF DR.. Eisenbeiss and his
wound dressed. The wound was made with
6n ordinary pocket knife. 1t entered under
the left arm and struck a rib. glanced off
and penetrated the chest making an ugly
and serious wound. DIR. Eisenbeiss said
that IL will be an extremely painful wound
but Will probably not cause permanent dis
ability or injury.

tual truth, not only loses his own man
mood, but is intoxicating falsehood and lead
ing men TO act from wrong conclusions in
matters OF the most vital importance to
the state. All of trickery and chicanery
in politics is bat an underlined treason. Let
every man, from the highest to the lowest,
understand that there is an ought and an
ought not in politics as truly as in any
other relation in life 1t is a sad com
mentary upon our citizenship and civiliza-
ton, If it be true, that a man scrupulously
honest in all the ordinary affairs of life
yet comes 10 feel that in public affairs
where his conduct affects not only him
self and some other one man with whom
ne is contracting, but the entire community
IN which he may reside, he may be the
less careful of his conduct. And
when the citizen mas once come to what
he deems an intelligent conclusion upon
any such question, then his bounden duty
Is to act upon that conclusion. When he
believes that given course is good for
the state or nation, then let him give
Whatever force or influence he may have
to secure the adoption of such course. The
man who places his party above country
IS neither Il patriot nor q good citizen.
as his party thinks shows that he does
not think at all Every either owes it TO
himself and to the state always to vote,
and to vote as he believes right; to have as
quick and active conscience in politics
as in religion.
aside from these political duties which
pertain 70 our citizenship, there are other
duties of civic nature which are incum-
bent upon us all. First of all. the citizen
law of the land, and by example and pre-
cept lead others to do 1t matters not
that as TO the particular enactment Wheth-
er he sees the wisdom of it or not, even
II he believes it to be unwise; it is TO him
the command of the state for the time
being. If he believes it to be unwise let
him use his influence to secure its repeal
or change; failing in this, let him consider
that possibly the judgment of the majority
of the people is more likely to be correct
than his own. But, however that may be.
so long as it is the law, it is his duty to
yield ready and willing obedience to it.
For nothing is more dangerous subVer-
siYe Of rightful authority than that a citi-
zen should feel himself at liberty TO dis
regard any law. If L may act with re-
gard to one law, because I do not feel the
need of it, my neighbor may do to
any other and this leads to disobedience
Of all law"
The speaker insisted that every citizen,
no matter how much he might be engrOssed
with his own private affairs ought to
cheerfully take upon himself the burdens
of citizenship. He held that if the Citizens
of this nation, in public affairs, act re-
gardless of conscience, they have a con-
scienceless administration of its affairs
which will work it's own natural and le-
climate result The safety of the nation
depends upon the conscience of the citizen.
There is no true religion without patriot
ism, and there can be no real patriotism
that is not closely akin to religion.

A HUGE CAMP MEETING
PENTECOST BANDS OF THE UNITED
STATES WILL BE HERE JULY "a.
About $50 Preachers Coming with
Their FIOcks-A Tent This Week
in Courthouse Yard.

A big tent will be pitched by the local
Pentecost Band in the courthouse yard this
week between the courthouse and Market
street. Rev. Thomas II. Nelson announced
at the street meeting yesterday afternoon
that he had seen all three of the county
commissioners and that permission to use
the grounds for eight days had been given.
Since the rubbish and debris that consti-
tuted the soil of the old yard was exca-
waited and the stone fence was removed fer
tile soil has been hauled back and dumped
in irregular ridges two or three feet high.
Corn and cucumbers have been growing
profusely and the yard of the courthouse
has presented an ungainly sight. Mr.. Nell
son said that the ground would be leveled
before the tent was pitched, early this
week. Meetings will be held every night,
beginning about We lnesday or Thursday.
July "A the Harvest Home" camp meet
ing of the Pentecost Bands of the United
States will commence in Indianapolis and
continue for fifteen days. Mr.. Nelson said
yesterday afternoon that about $50 preach
ers would be here with their bands from
all parts of the country. tent for the
camp meetings, capable of holding twenty
thousand, Will be set up either in FairView
Sark or some other convenient place, to be
determined on this week.
Inc WORK OF the ReQLeCOSt Dan0S is IN
some respects similar to that of the Amer
lean Volunteers and Salvation Army, and
the three organizations are often confused.
The Pentecosters, however eschew musical
instruments and dress in plain clothing, re-
minding observers of the austere Puritans
of New England. In street-corner meetings
the men and women of the band stand
erect, singing psalms. holding Bibles under
their arms, their faces beaming the while
with religious fervor. Their methods are de-
void of the sensational features that mark
the other organizations that are going into
the highways and hedges to extend a hand
to the miserable and wretch'ed. One feature
OF their work is to look after discharged
conVicts and secure employment for them.
Some of the Pentecost workers appear to
have considerable intelligence, while the
faces Of others show a degenerate origin.
Last Sunday a well-known Catholic priest
was observed to stop several minutes TO
listen TO the singing and exhortations. OF
real preaching there is little. The priest
seemed interested and turned away with
an approving smile To a bystander he
said that they were undoubtedly sincere
and meant TO do what they could to save
souls. He remarked that while he could
not sanction their methods he could not
crticise them for this reason.

we have days which. by their dedication
and association, serve to call peoples
minds away from daily pursuits and break
the continuity of thoughts and planning for

as it has never been tested before.

Smith, "a restlessness among the masses
of the people; hidden forces at work out of
sight, that yet ever and anon come 10 the
surface, with manifestations suggestive OF
the appalling character of what may be
conceded below; just as the trembling of
the earth in the earthquake, or the mutter-

hidden fires. The great social problem is

for calm and patient thought and for heroic
courage than to-day. AS L nave ALREADY
said the extremes of great wealth and
great poverty are ever a menace TO any
government, and particularly so in a re-
public, where the power rests with the peo-

hungry, and the ill-shod, jostle upon the
street those who live in luxury and ease,

dence only members of the family and a
few of the most intimate friends of the
family were present The body rested in
the casket in the front draw
ing room covered with the many
floral tributes from Mr.. Spanns adj
mirers. About the last remains were gath
cred those who We're dearest to him in
life and to them spoke Rev. Mr.. Milburn,
pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church,
an organization with the prosperity of
which Mr.. Spann was so closet! identified.
Mr.. AIiburn'S address was of considerable
length. He dWelt upon the many charac-
teristics of the deceased which made his life
one worthy of emulation. 1t a highly
eulOgistic speech. but one which those who
knew Mr.. Spann best agree was not over
drawn.
After the services at the residence the
small line of carriages followed the re-
mains to Crown Hill. where they were
buried in the family lot. Here MIR. Mil
burn made a short talk. There was no
ritualstiC service.
