as there such a thing as intrinsic
Yalue?" the Mining and Scientific Press
asks. Certainly. It is intrinsic quail
ties which give intrinsic value. Gen
orally, what is meant is that the article
embOdies in the form in which it is of
cred for sale, not only original intrin
sic qualities, but the actual labor and
expense Of its production. It's aterm,
however, which is applied in many
different ways, and often is used when
"exchanga6le value" is meant. An
article may have intrinsic value and
yet have no exchangable value. Water
is one of the necessities of life, but it
is usually so easily obtained that it has
no commercial value. A man will be
slow to give up a thug, which has cost
him labor, for water, when he simply
has to dip it up or to stoOp down and
drink The moment, however, that
water has to be forced long distances
to places where il is needed, it imme-
diately possesses both intrinsic and
exchangable value. The cost of trans,
portation may add to the value Of an
article just as surely as labor.

George a. Evans, the Topeka con-
tractor, who built large portion Of
the state house, read a statement in
the Topeka Capital day or two ago,
that the warrants Of the state of Kan
sas had not gone unpaid before in %
years. he looked up his books and
exhibited in several Of the state offices
lists Of warrants issued to him which
he sold and traded to bankers and
material men. They aggregated 1884,
600. "Thess warrants" he said, "Were
iussued to ne in 1889, 1890 and 1891.
There was a separate state house fund
and levy made to pay it, but had to
crowd the work because I was limited
as to time and the state issued these
warrants to me when it did not have
a dollar to pay them. l couldn't af-
ford to carry them so sold them and
pswned them. I don't know but what
I traded them off for necessities. The
worst Of it was that at that time I had
to pay ten per cent interest on them
The state only paid six per cent and 1
had to pay the balance. Some of the
warrants we're out II months before
they we're redeemed. Altogether I
paid 1919 interest. The legislature
tried once to pay it back to me, but I
never got it."

ing and offereh to furnish a bond.
He was charged with nothing more
serious than lettering. and a small
bond was accepted for his appearance next
Tuesday. Before he was released, however,
Mr.. and Mrs. Hicks and John Q. Hicks were
given an opportunity to see him. These
three We're standing at the gate leading into
the Jail when Van Tassel, Gorham, Wright
and Kennedy came out. Samuel Kennedy
thought Gorham and Van Tassel were two
of the robbers; Mrs. Hicks also thought she
could identify them and was positive OF
Kennedy but John was sure that they were
not the men. 1t was learned afterward that
he had called at the River-avenue house
after the arrests, and learned of them.
When the men came out of the jail gate he
merely glanced at them and pronounced
them all mot the men.
Last Saturday night the office of the Mad
isOn Brewery'S branch on New York street,
east of the Belt road, was broken open and
the safe blown with powder and robbed.
The thieves took about two dozen bottles
CT beer with them. About 2 O clock Sunday
morning four men boarded q Belt train
near the Panhandle crossing and rode
around to West Indianapolis. They had
their coat collars pulled up over their ears
and kept out of the light when the train
men came near with lanterns. In their
pockets We're bottles of beer. The police are
confident these men were Gorham, van
TasseI. Hicks and Wright or Kennedy. The
Richards woman said the men came home
late that night and that on Sunday morn
ing they were drinking bottled beer.

TO BE A LITTLE MOTHER
A CHILD THAT WANTS TO KEEP HER
FAMILY TOGETHER.
Judge Allen Impressed by the Brave
Girls Sincerity-A ChiIdren's
Guardians Case.

Most of the day in the Circuit Court yes
terday was devoted to suits brought by the
Board of Children's Guardians for possess
sion of children. A pitiful story was
brought out in the suit of the board for
possession of Minnie Goddie and Christie
pher Anderson, three bright children now in
the custody of the board. The testimony
showed that the father of the Anderson
children left the mother several years ago
with a family of seven. The eldest boy
turned out badly, and was few weeks ago
convicted and sentenced in the Criminal
Court There are two other boys and a
girl aged about sixteen, besides the three
children in the hands of the Board of
Guardians. The two boys, it is said, are
manly fellows of excellent habits. The girl
is modest and refined in appearance. The
evidence disclosed the fact that the mother,
after struggling along for several years
without the aid of husband in supporting
her, became discouraged and took to drink.
When under the influence of liquor she
neglected the younger children. The daugh-
ter told the court that they might be able
to get along and keep the little family to-
gether if the mother would only refrain
from using intoxicants. She asked the
court If there was not some way by which
she and the two older boys could become
the heads of the household and take care
of the younger children. She said they
would try hard enough to get along If the
court would give them a trial
Judge Allen was much impressed Dy tne
brave little woman's story, and promised 10
consider all the facts well before giving
decision. The court has it in MIND to give
the girl chance to keep ner Drothers anu
sisters together.

rectOrs Here.


Kennedy Crossan, president, and w J.
Turner. one OF the directors of the Citizens
street-railroad Company, made a flying
visit to Indianapolis from Philadelphia to

lines is under consideration.
Mr.. Turner said that reports of a move
ment on foot 70 compromise the litigation
in the Hamilton county court Is not true.
He denied that there is plan to have the
company agree to statement of facts and
allow verdict by agreement. He@aid that
the statement was absolutely without
foundation, because. he said. there Is moth
ing TO compromise Our rights have been
explained many times and we have not re-
ceded from our position
Mr.. Turner said that he was not aware
OF any promise TO Improve the lines be-
tween the city and lrvingIon. Mr.. Turner
declared that there has never been any
evade the ordinance requiring cars to be
heated. He spoke of the change that has
been made In the directorate of the COM
pany, as indicating disposition to do
what is fair and right on the part of the
company.
Word comes from Chicago that the 3-cent-
fare case will come up the middle of the
coming week. Judge jenkins will preside at
the hearing. Associated with him will be
Judges Grosscup and Seaman, of Wiscon-
sin, or Judge Bum. Judge Woods is I'M
willing TO participate and Judge Showalter

THE NEW CABINET MEETS
MAYOR HEARS REPORTS FROM HIS
HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS.
No More Improvement Contracts to BE
Let This Year-Sweepings
Into Cutters.

At the first meeting of Mayor Taggart's
reorganized cabinet yesterday afternoon
Controller Johnson reported that he had re-
ceived information from City Treasurer
Schmidt indicating that the fall payment
of taxes will exceed that of last year by
several thousand dollars. The city's proper
ton of the increase, however, he said, would
not be known until after Nov. (to-mor-
row. Although the expenses of the city
have been considerably increased by the an
nexation of suburban territory, Mr.. Johnson
said, the current revenue will be sufficient
to pay all demands of the present fiscal
year.
M. A. Downing, president of the Board of
Public Works, spoke of the improvements
that have been made on the state ditch and
Pogue's rum The state ditch, he said, had
been improved by charging the entrance to
the Fourteenth-street sewer from six to
eight feet, beside which brick sewer forty
two feet long had been built at the entrance.
A stone wall was built for additional pro-
lection. From Columbia avenue to Twen-
tieth street the ditch was deepened two
feet. Jackson ditch was cleaned out and
widened. New bitches were dug across
Seventeenth street to Baltimore avenue, and
at Twentieth street beyond Baltimore av-
enue up to the school house. Mr.. Downing
also spoke of the improvements on Pogue's
run that have been made north of Wash
ington street From Washington street the
run was widened eight feet for a distance of
one hundred yards. An old stone wall at
this point, he said, was torn away and re-
built. The work included Strengthening out
an 50 bend near t.. Arsenal. Some at
tention will now be given by the board to
Instructions below Washington street," said
he. Mr.. Downing commented on the fact
that the Union Railway Company has been
notified to remove stone arches under the
Union Station and at Delaware street. Mr..
Downing said that bridges across POgues
run at the Arsenal, at McCauley street,
over Pleasant run at Barth avenue have
been contracted for, at a cost of 81, 591. These
bridges he said, would be completed late
this fall.
Concerning the garbage collections he
said that the board is much pleased with
the way in which they are now being made.
THE Board of Public Works. said Mr..
Downing, will let no more contracts for
public improvements this fall. We are ems
deavoring to have all contracts now in effect
fully completed by freezing weather, and we
believe they will, with few exceptions, be
finished before cold weather"
Attention was called to the fact that there
is an ordinance prohibiting merchants from
depositing sweepngS from their stores on
the sidewalks and cutters in front of their
places, and that the ordinance is being vio-
rected to see that the police enforce the or

T. ]. Montgomery, the new member of
the Board of Works. is devoting all his
time to the interests of the city. He has
had a map Of the city placed on board.
Pins are stuck in showing where every
one of the LOO electric lights are located.
When councilmen or citizens complain that
certain districts are unlighted glance at
the map will show whether the complaint
is well founded. White and black-headed
pins will be stuck in the map to show where
gas and vapor lights are located. Mr.. Mont
gomery's device shows that Indianapolis is
well lighted. He says that business men IN
the downtown districts are urging that the
electric lights be kept burning all night
instead of on the moonlight schedule. Mr.
Montgomery rather favors this plan. The
lights of the city are eighteen separate
circuits, so it seems feasible. An additional
cost of $40 a lamp will attach If the all
night schedule is substituted for the moon
light schedule. Some Of the business streets
are in practical darkness when the lights
are cut off, the high buildings cutting Off
the MOONLIGHT.
