The White House.

The steady growth of the nation has
rendered necessary great expansion Of
the capitol at Washington, but nothing
has been done TO increase the size of the
white house. says the Washington Post
The latter remains as il was when first
occupied by President John Adams, at
the beginning of the present century.
Its narrow quarters have caused vast
amount of embarrassment TO its tenants
from time to time. For example, when
the prince of Wales was here the ut
most difficulty was found in making
room for him and few persons of his
immediate suite. even when a part Of
the Office quarters WINS utilized for
sleeping purposes There is an urgent
demand for more rooms for the enter
tainment OF distinguished guests Of the
nation on such exceptional occasions.

NEW BILL At WILDWOOD.
"Ten Nights In a BarrOOm" to he Re.
vived This Week.

"Ten Nights IN a Barroom," the great
temperance play, win be seen for the first
time in Indianapolis in many years at Wild
wood next week. But few of the younger
theatergoers have seen the play, although
it was immensely popular a quarter of a
century ago. "Ten Nights in a Borroom"
has often been pointed to as a play hat is
a sermon in itself. Every effort will be
made to present the play properly at Wild
wood. Some new features will be added
and some new people will be in the cast.
Arrangements have been made to give the
striking miners a benefit. On Wednesday
and Thursday evenings the performances
Will be under the auspices of the Central
Labor Union and the receipts will be turned
over to the miners relief fund. The usual
number of tirSt-clasS specialities will be
given. Lew A. Warner will appear as ST.
mon Slade, Al Fl. Bailey as Joe Morgan,
Lawrence Earl Atkinson as Romaine, the
temperance advocate, Floss Hutchins as
Sample Switched, George Leck as Harvey
Green, Burt Cottrill as Willie Hammond.
Lettie Cotton as Mehftable Courtwright.
Warner as little Mary Morgan.

state Health Board Finds had COndi-

The State Board Of Health will this COM
ing week try through It's one officer to rem
der sanitary aid, in answer to petitions, to
the towns Of Knox, Paoli and Westport.
These places are in extreme opposite parts
of the State.
DR.. +. d. L%aughlin, member of the state
board living at Orleans, has made a sani-
tary inspection of the Southern Insane Hos
pital. In his report he says: The sanitary
conditions there are good except in the
matter OF sewerage and milk supply. The
dairy supplying milk to the institution is in
a very unsanitary condition, the stables
being unclean, and the water from which
the cows drink is = pond which receives it's

there is a heap of rotten manure and other

refuse. The milk was set TO cool in the milk
cans placed in tubs filled with water from
a well in the yard, the tubs being placed
in an old shed filled in between the loose
ceiling and weather boarding with partly
decomposed sawdust. The milk ans are
rinsed with water taken from an open els
tern. The water was not pure. Should ty-
phoid or scarlet fever be contracted at this

WITH HIS NECK O K
samuel Allen Went Ont and Got a
Glass of Beer.

A number of city physicians witnessed
the post-mortem operation on the remains
of Samuel Allen, who died yesterday at the
City Hospital. The doctors consider the
case a remarkable one. Allen was a laborer
of forty-two years of age and unmarried.
He occupied rooms at No. 1929 East Wash
ington street. Thursday evening he was
sitting at the top of the stairs leading to
his rooms and fell into a doze. While asleep
he fell Town the stairs.
At the time Allen did not believe he was
badly injured, but subsequent developments
showed that his neck was broken by the
fall. However, he did not pay special at
tention to the accident and it is said that
on Friday morning he walked out and got
a glass of beer. He made this statement
to the hospital physicians Friday afternoon.
Friday morning his limbs began to grow
numb and he was advised to go some place
where he could receive treatment. He was
taken to the hospital and remained there
until he died. The character of his injuries
was such as to cause a sort of progressive
paralysis. A peculiar thing about Aliens
condition was hat he did not recognize his
own body during his last hours. He saw his
hands lying across his chest and remarked
to the physicians that they were not his
hands, that they must belong to some one
else.
The body of Allen was turned over to
Undertaken Blanchard. The hospital physi-
clans were unable to locate his friends.

initiated in this way. The lecture room is
reached by a long corridor running TO the
large foyer toward the street. The foyer
is about thirty by sixty feet. From il
broad staircases lead 10 the grand hall
above. on both sides of the corridor on
the second floor are apartments suitable
for rehearsais. clubrOoms. card rooms and
the like. There will be an opening on the
east side of the foyer connecting with the
front corridor in the old wing.
The most important feature of the new
wing is the concert and ball hall on the
second floor. 1t is entered through a foyer
somewhat smaller than that on the hrst
floor, by means of two massive stairways.
The hall is to be much like a theater. 1t
will have a seating capacity, including the
gallery and loggia, of about loo, and VIII
have a stage as large as most Of the the
alters of the city. The gallery along the
entire east side Of the hall is directly over
the lOggia. The hall and loggia will be
separated simply by arches. The loggia
Will be provided with seats where prone
naders may rest, listen TO the music or
observe the dancers. The stage is to be
furnished with complete sets of theatrical
although the prime object is to furnish a
comfortable and commodious concert hall.
When completed this hall will be the sec
ond largest in Indianapolis, Tomlinson Hall
alone exceeding it in floor space and seat
ing capacity. The loggia, being in the east
side OF the new wing, Will overlook the
garden below. The entire east side will be
of glass supported by iron pillars. There
is to be q side entrance to the concert and
near the stage.
1t is the hope Of the contractors to have
the new wing completed this fall. The
work will be pushed as rapidly as possible.

TEMPTING TO THE SMALL BOYS
West Fountain at Monument Place to
Continue Operations.

The great fountain on the west side Of
the soldiers and sailors monument will
continue in operation from now on, barring
occasional lapses while the new engines are
being properly regulated. Custodian Wright
had a. talk a few days ago with a man who
has seen great fountains all over the world
and he stated that there is none to COM
pare with the one now in operation. Seven
thousand gallons of water are poured over
the lower capstone every minute, and the
size of this wide stream is exactly ls
inch, as measured by a water guage. From
the wells $50 gallons are pumped fresh
every minute. Most of the water is used
over and over again. The new engines use
more natural gas than the old ones. The
east fountain is to be completed in ten
days. The breaking Of the derrick a few
days ago has not interfered much with the
work.
Custodian Wright breads the temptation
which the cool fountains present to the
small boy after nightfall, and indeed he
has heard rumors that some of the larger
boys are contemplating a plunge into the
pool. The water is sufficiently cool to deter
most people from any attempt of this kind.
