The work of recruiting the L. A w. Club
goes on slowly but surely, and the member
ship now is near the hundred mark, with
more applications to be considered.
There has been some talk but no action
taken as to the advisability of making club
tickets good for admission to both the trial
heats and finals of the coming state and ma
tional meets. AS is well known, a league
ticket admits the possessor to all trial heats
of state and national events, but not to the
finals, and the league, if it feels so dis
posed, can make an Indianapolis l.. A w.
Club ticket good for both the trials and
finals 1t will thus be seen what a. value a
club ticket will have, for it will more than
pay a man to join the club for the benefits
he can obtain from it in the two meets.
There will be two days of racing in the
state meet and at least three days of rae
ing in the national meet. Then, too, the en-
tertainments that will be held during the
meets will be free to all club members.
The board of governors at their regular
meeting talked over plans for appointing
the different committees to entertain the
national meet but decided that it was too
early to begin active preparations. A great
deal of quiet talk has been going on as to
the various committees, and when they are
appointed and begin work they will GER
tainly have their hands full. Unlike Phila-
delphia, which had over two hundred clubs
to draw committees from, indianapolis has
practically only one club, but what that one
club lacks in numbers it will make up in
work and enthusiasm, for the members are
going into this affair with vim and de-
Termination to make it the best meet ever
held. A few surprises are in store for the
visiting wheelmeE, and when the boys get
back home Indianapolis will be the talk of
everybody for its unique way of entertain
ing. Recommendations as to the mode of
entertainment for the different days and
evenings were discussed and will be re-
norted to the meet club for future consid-
Grafton. 1t has been definitely settled, how
ever. that a gigantic smoker, the like of
which has never been held before, will take
Mace in Tomlinson Hall Thursday night of
the meet week.
The war has been keeping the Athletic
club members from sending in their appli-
cations as freely as was expected. The
Athletic Club was admitted in body and
was acted upon at the April meeting.

Moving in dreams forgotten far away.
Lies yesterday--the land OF yesterday!

Blood Of all nations. here in one 10 flow;
In swift transitions where each soul may win

The past still clingng to their country's hem,
The future stirring strangely under them;
Nor back they look nor forward, nor away
Here is to-day-the land OF sharp to-day.
But we? Our land lies large. The sunlight stays
Behind us nothing and before us all.
Here without haste we enter the wide ways
Where the clear voices Of the future call.
No dead hand holds us; net shut in

Miss Kitty De Lorme has part for her
weil-known talents. giving an excellent OPP
portunity to display her versatility. as she
assumes several disguises. This melodrama
has always been favorite because, though
it is boisterous in merriment, yet it is re-
fined in tone, pure in sentiment and spon-
taneous in action. There is not a suggestive
line or bad feature in it. Although it is
melodrama still there is enough of the com
edy element prevailing to keep the audience
in laughter much of the time. The company
this season is claimed to be the best ever
carried by the Holdens. The Holden Broth
erS have long been successful caterers to the
theater-goers of Indianapolis and consider

Mr.. Herne's Defense of the stage.


Only short time ago an actor who has
the courage of his convictions, who has
labored with zeal for the uplifting of the
drama, by invitation stepped into the pull
pit of the First Congregational Church of
Kansas City, and, in his lay sermon on
THE Theater as 1t Is" among other things,
said THE theater of to-day is what the
civilization and society of to-day have made
it. There would be no vicious art if there
were no vicious patrons of art; no vicious
literature if there were no vicious readers;
no vicious dramas If there were no vicious
audiences. We must not condemn an art
or an institution because a corrupt civiliza-
ton has affected it. The theater is factor
of society just as much as is the church,
and in spite Of all the stigma that is at
tached to it and all the vice and pernicious
power it is charged with it is still an ed
ucator, and its influence is for good and
not for evil. 1t is not fair to denounce the
theater because some theaterS are bad any
more than to denounce the church because
some preachers are bad"
This actor was Jams A. Herne and there
is a great public believing that he spoke the
words of truth and wisdom when he made
this utterance No man in his profession
has done more to enforce his beliefs than
he; no author has more steadfastly set his
face against purveying immortality or sub
sistlng on stage pageantry OF tainted or
what one man could do to dignity and en-
noble his calling. Mr.. Herne has written
number of plays-"The Minute Men"
Drifting Apart Hearts of Oak" Mar
garet Fleming and Shore Acres" notable
plays in many respects, clean plays, to en-
thrall the mind without the use of French
recipes, and not made to foster our appe-
tite for impure thoughts. And the great
est of these was Shore Acres" which,
staged on May %, 1892 came as an intrepid
invasion of the field occupied by the hectic
innovations of Pinero and the. odorous
adaptations from the French Of Sydney
Grundy, so industriously exploited at the
time by American managers. 1t was
work in which the worldly man and woman
found a charm, for it was a fabric reared
ont of American life, thorough in IT'S analy-
sis of human nature, and held together by
beautiful romance, which lost none OF its
dramatic force because 1t was unsullled by
any gross passion 1t was Rev. DIR. Lyman
Abbott who said of it: ut is pure, clean
play that can do no one harm and can
hardly fail to do any one who sees 1t good.
If the theater would always give US as clean
and wholesome plays as this the wholesale
Remuneration of the stage by the pulpit
could not long survive

Fun With Dutch Tears. ~

From the n. Y. sun.
1T is Il great wonder to me, said an
old chemist in his laboratory the other
day, why more boys do not take up
chemical experiments as an amusement.
Why, | can do things with the common
materials of everyday life which really
seem to be more magical to the unintiated
than any of the wonders performed by
magicians on the public stage.
''Now, there are those curious little
bubbles of glass known variously as Prince
Rupert drops and as Dutch tears. APP
parently they are merely little globules of
glass with elongated tails, made by heat
ing small glass rod in flame and allow
ing the molten drops to fall into water
After they have cooled you may pound the
thick part with a hammer or mallet, yet
YOU cannot break them On the other
hand, if you break little piece off their
tails or touch any part of them with a
quartz crystal, they will disappear into the
surrounding atmosphere quicker than snow
will melt on a hot fire. To the person
who does not know the reason the perfor-
nance is most astonishing.
''And yet it is all very simple. 1t is
due to what is known as surface cohesion.
Glass when heated to molten state has
naturally reached very high temperature,
and when the drops Of melted glass are al
lowed to fall into the cold water the sud
den change produces stress all over the
surface of the drop which is really terrific
This stress, however, must be considered
as whole 1t is very strong when taken
all together, but it is exactly as though a
piece of very thin rubber was stretched
over the surface of the glass. If you
punctured the rubber, its haste to resume
its normal condition would pull it off the
glass.
$50 when you break off the tail of the
drop or cut through the film of very hard
glass with crystal its endeavor suddenly
to resume its normal condition results in it
own destruction, and it breaks up into
particles which are really finer than the
finest sand 1t seems like a wonderful
performance, but it is no more wonderful
than many another which any youngstel
could perform if he would study even the
simplest forms of chemical action
