barring the accidents of the first perform
ance. 1t is the nature of the play, the SUBJ
Ject treated that is no doubt responsible
for its failure TO have had a longer career
in the East. The story woven about the
affairs of a district attorneys office is not
one to attract theater-goers unless 1t be
that class which delights in the expose of
fraud in high society. The corrupt political
methods extending to the office Of the state
prosecutor are frequently true enough, but
the big politicians and influential business
men who are the ones to profit by SUCH
political corruption do not enjoy holding the
mirror up to nature. The subject should APP
peal with great force to the galleries where
the masses congregate. The lower stratum
of society takes pleasure in exposures
such play with cheers. Aside from the
character studies in 1.-THE District Attor-
rey," which the higher class theater patrons
will always appreciate, the play is better
adapted to the taste of the sturdy patrons of
the Park, and IL should advertise itself
among these thoroughly during the week
Benjamin Horning. as the district attor-
ney, and Hardee Kirkland. as Matthew
Brainerd, the wealthy citizen and the con-
tractor who has piled up his fortune by
Jobbery and corruption of the courts, have,
BY far, the best characters and play them

closing extravanganza is really what the

by Harry Stewart and George Scanlon, while
the march of the feminine boys in blue is
an excellent piece of drill work. The after
piece closes with a patriotic chorus, with
Old Glory holding the center of the stage.
The olio has several good specialties, in

tions are actively setting forth in public
and private the claims of those to whom
these factions are respectively favorable.
Republican members of the Legislature will
be fully informed as to these claims, and
will be urged to give them consideration
and weight. Having no TO grind for any

err Many Years.

Anna Brandall has found a home at last
For years and years, with old age creep

was provided by charity. Last night she
died. She was found by little Mary Smith

her mothers house, 516 West Maryland
street, about II 80 o'clock, from the wake of
Charles Tracy the boy who was killed by
Timothy O'Connor Mary passed through
the front room on the second floor. where
the family lives. She was rather surprised
to see Anna sitting up so late and, not
dreaming that the old wanderer was dead,
passed through the portieres into the next
room, where her mother Mrs. John Kelly.
was sleeping with her young baby.
Mamma said Mary, there is something
wrong with Anna, I believe. She is sitting
by the fire."
Mrs. Kelly arose and found that Anna was
dead. When the husband, John Kelly,
came home-he had also been at the wake
Patrolmen H. Pope and Sickel were
called, and telephoned for the coroner. Then

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
In looking over the columns of your pa
per of this morning issue / read the article
written by Mrs. Henrotin, entitled Scandals
of Shopping The writer of this agrees
with Mrs. Henrotin, and especially the fifth
point. Little do women think of the man
or boy who is out in the cold hunting this
or that number. 1t is not supposed man
can drive up to a house after night like he
can in daytime Little thought is given the
man who is driving over the city with his
wagon loaded down with goods. lie is of
no consequence except TO labor trying to
satisfy the whims of such people as Mrs.
Henrotin speaks of. Let deliveryman fail
to make delivery of goods and report
is filed against him with his employer Lit
tie do people think it is hard task for
man to start out after night to deliver
goods. Yet he must suffer by the piercing
cold and the inconvenience of the darkness
in order to satisfy the whims of those who
delight in late buying. Let the women buy
their goods early in the day and refuse TO
receive goods delivered after o'clock in
the evening and they will make glad many
poor heart. Look i'm the stores of the city
here and see the toiling mass of humanity
who labor after working hours. Then the
wagon men are kept out late at night. fac
ing the cold winds, without any supper;
they are not supposed to have any feeling
or consideration shown them. j am a de-
liveryman employed by a large store in
this city, and know the suffering that comes
from night work. The delveryman must
not complain. He has no right TO rest at
night now, as women must have their goods
delivered at night, because their household
duties are so pressing they cannot get away
during the daytime. Why will women not
do as Mrs. Henrotn advises-shop early In
the day and not take up too much of the
time of the clerks in making your selec-
tions? Remember, they have n hard time
to get along; their sales are the basis upon
which their salaries are fixed, and If their
time is taken up by a few their employer
thinks they are not selling enough goods 10
justify them in paying the salaries they
ought to receive Give the salesman or
saleswoman a chance to show their worth.
Have your mind made up and remember
others are waiting to be served. The clerk
in a store has a hard time in trying to
please his employer and the customers.
Women never think of these things when
they do their shopping, but the time is at
hand when they should do so. The clerks
and deliverymen like to have their evenings
as well as other folks. To those who are

A SEASON OF SLElGHING
COLD WAVE PROMISES TO FOLLOW
THE FALL OF SNOW.
Icemen Not Yet Ready to Begin CUT
ting-NO Attempt at Street
Cleaning.

As snow continued falling last night and
the weather observer announced cold wave
coming-temperature will fall from 20 to 80
degrees by Tuesday morning, a prolonged
season of fine sleighing is in prospect.
A more material benefit was looked for
ward to by the ice men. The lowered tenn
perature decreased the thickness of the ice
on the canal and the ponds northeast of
the city, and the cutting of the product did
not begin yesterday Ice men said the ice
was about seven inches thick and they in
tended waiting until st was about ten inches
through. If the much colder" prediction Of
Weather Observer Wappenhans comes true
it is expected the ice harvest will open in
few days. Several hundred men are look
ing forward to the employment the ice har-
vest will give them.
There has been considerable complaint by
downtown business men over the failure
of the city administration to attempt clean
ing the streets Of snow.

COLUMBIA CLUB INDIGNANT.
Officers Say Sentinel story Was AbsO-
IuteIy Untrue.

There was much indignation among MEM
bers of the Columbia Club yesterday over
statement published in the Sentinel to the
effect that Lieutenant Governor Haggard
has been ordered to remain away from the
Columbia Club. The article went on to say
that a letter had been sent to Lieutenant
Governor Haggard by order of the directors,
requesting him to remain away. The alleged
reason for this was that the Lieutenant
Governor did not own stock in the club and
that privileges granted him by his visitors
card two years ago had expired This is
denied in the strongest terms by the di-
rectors of the club, who characterize the
story as fairy tale. without the slight
est foundation whatever. DR.. Franklin w.
Hays president of the club, with the con-
currence of all the directors, yesterday sent
Lieutenant Governor Haggard the following
letter:
Dear Goyernor-It is needless to say that
the article which appeared in the Sentinel
this morning is not only entirely false, but
that it is impossible OF even suggestion by
the directors of the club.
by every consideration you are always
an invited guest and welcome In the club,
as is every Republican member of the Sem
ate and the House of Representatives.
Please do not permit a malicious attempt to
create i'll feeling and discord among good
friends and loyal Republicans to prevent
your presence as usual In the club"
Two years ago the courtesies of the club
were extended to all the Republican mem
bers of the General Assembly. Visitors
cards were handed to the Lieutenant Gov

titled the holders to all the privileges of
