Vernon SpradIing Said to Have Mulct-
ed Indianapolis People.

A. dispatch from Kokomo says that an
Indianapolis live stock commission firm was
caught to the amount of $1,500 by Vernon
Spradling, a local stock dealer who failed
recently. Spradlng had been in business
there for a number of years, starting with
out any capital. He made an assignment
last week, and it has since developed, it is
claimed, that on the day he quit business
he received $500 from the Indianapolis
firm, money advanced for the shipment of
five carloads of hogs. The hogs were not
shipped, but the Kokomo creditors heard
that Spradlng had received the money and
compelled him to turn it over to them. Now
it is said the Indianapolis firm is proposing
to prosecute Spradling for obtaining money
under false pretenSeS.

A Lecture ON Christian occultism.

DR.. Frederick Bell, of San Francisco, de-
livered lecture last night at the Propy-
laeum on Christian Occultism" He was
for four years at the head of the Metropoli-
tan Temple, at San Francisco, but is at
present touring the country. DR.. Bell said
there were two theories of life held by man
kind. One was the materialistic which
teaches that life is the outcome of matter
the product of organization. The other was
the spiritualistic theory, which puts life
back of form, making it the cause and not
the product of organization. DIR. Bell went
on to show that materialism was dying out,
and that sooner or later the world would
come to the other theory of life. His lee
ture was heard by two or three hundred
persons.

MARRIAGE OF CATHOLICS
BISHOP CHATARD's COMMENTS ON
REPORTED PETITION OF LAA-MEN.
Nothing Official Has Come to Him.
DispensaliOns i'm Case of One
Party n NOncathOIic.
Right Rev. Bishop chatard, of the diocese

Right Rev. Bishop Chatard, of the diocese
of Vincennes, is inclined to doubt press dis
patches from the East, which Indicate the
Catholic laymen Of the country are about to
petition the papal delegate to issue a pro-
nunciamento on the subject of the union ina
marriage of Catholics and noncatholics
From the fact that Archbishop Kaine, OF
st. Louis. recently said on returning from
Rome that he had with him a papaI brief
regulating the laws of matrimony in the see
of st. Louis, it is reported, Monsignor Mar
tinelli, the papal delegate, will be petitioned
by iaymen to make general rules in this
country
II know nothing about the subject beyond
what has appeared in the papers, said
Bishop Chatard. DIR. Rocker has been
quoted as saying in Washington that the
current conditions refer only to the st.
Louis diocese. Nothing official has come TO
my notice. l am inclined to doubt the re-
ported laymen's movement Those questions
are settled by the church councils. 1t is
true that some of the most radical Chris
tians are urging the abolition of ALI imped-
iments to the marriage of those who are
Catholics and not Catholics. that is, all inn
pediments except natural ones, like consan-
guinity. This idea is not held by the con-
servative men of the church. Believing as
we do in revelation and that salvation can
come only to those of the true church. we
naturally oppose anything that might draw
Christians away from their faith. We know
that unions of this kind cannot be altogeth-
er prevented, hence dispensations are grant
ed, always with the proviso that the chill
dren shall be trained in the faith. While we
discourage anything that might draw the
Christian from his faith, the experience of
the church has been that more conversions
than peryersions have followed such unions.
It rarely happens that written promises TO
educate the children in the true faith are
broken Still, the tendency, when the wife
is Catholic and the husband not Catholic.
or the husband Catholic and the wife not
Catholic is TO avoid the discussion of re-
ligious subjects in the family, so that the
children are not impressed with the obserVa-
lion Of religious duties and drift away into
the world without associating with any
church -

ginning Wednesday afternoon Heb. 81, at 2:30
o'clock and every afternoon thereafter for twelve
consecutive days the art of cookery. His lee
lures are very interesting. not only in theory, but
also in demonstrating his ideas in practical form.
His audience is always large who are not only
well pleased, but greatly benefited by his able
manner of demonstration. He was formerly chef
in several of the leading hotels in the country and
caterer to the elite of Boston, Chicago and New
York. Housekeepers should turn out en- masse at
these lectures, as many points in modern cook
cry will be impaired that they cannot afford to
miss. The ladies will do well by having their
daughters accompany them, so that they may
also benefit in art that may prove of vast i'm
pOrtance.

SCHOOL CHILDREN
 WILL PAY TRIBUTE
To the Memory of the Hero
 Lafayette.
EFFORT TO RAISE MONUMENT I
Over His Grave in Paris Joined by the Young America of Birmingham Appropriate Exercises at
 the High School.

The pupils of the Birmingham schools will today join with the pupils of the pub lie schools throughout the United States in celebrating Lafayette day, in memory of the great Frenchman who rendered such valuable assistance to our revolutionary fathers in their struggle for liberty and independence.
 The idea of the celebration. or ginated some months ago in Chicago, and is the outcome of a patriotic impulse to show some appreciation of the valor of General Lafayette, whose remains inferred in an old cemetery in Paris, the grave being marked by plain granite slab.
 Through the efforts of the school board a national commission was formed, which conceived the plan that monument cost ing not less than half million dollars be erected over the almost obscure grave as d mark of respect and esteem from the pub lie school children of America. To carry out the idea October 19 was set apart as Lafayette Day, on which appropriate ser vices would be held in every public school room throughout the union, and each pupil be allowed to contribute any amount from 1 to 20 cents to the monument fund. It is proposed to make the unveiling of the monument a feature of the Paris exposi- 
 ton.
 The movement was at once taken up by the school authorities in each state and city, and today the praise of the valiant Lafayette will be sung in unison by the many thousand children.
 In each of the public schools of the city appropriate exercises will be held from 12 until l o'clock. at the Grammar schools the principals and teachers will give short talks upon Lafayette, while the pupils will sing patriotic airs and recte appropriate selections.
 At the High school the several classes will gather in the assembly hall, where the exercises will be held. The local chapter of the Daughters of the Revolution have been invited to attend the High school exercises in body, and will probably accept.
 It is expected that the contributions will amount to a neat little sum, which will be forwarded to the memorial commission by Superintendent Phillips.

There is much to praise and little to criticise in this new version of "1492." and although the piece as it now is given bears but little re- semblance to the one played long ago by the cadets, it is in generally a pleasing per formance.

1.-THE PLAY@

Just the same bundle of absurdities, fur nising a vehicle for snappy music and comic situations, "A Parlor Match,' came to O'Briens' last night. "Old Hoss' was just as droll while Captain Kidd Ephraim Beromont and I. McCarper the same as in the days of the original "Old Hoss." The skit served its intended purpose, kept a large audience roaring for two hours and they went away satisfied Some of the jokes have come in contact with the frosts of the many winters which "A Parlor Match" has weathered, but they convused the crowd and what's the necessity of new ones when old ones will do as well. Israel Zangwell, who came all the way from Lon don to tell New York audience how the play should be done, might not approve of "A Parlor Match" but 1t is doubtful if the extension-hared gentleman could have re- sisted the charms of Edith Hoyt, the sparsely-built, sunny-topped soubrette. Miss Hoyt is still dainty. She hasn't grown the least bit, but then the figures of the stage that fill up tights to the limit are vanishing spectres, forms of the sylph-like variety of the Edna Wallace, Edith Hoyt stripe are taking their places.
 Thi safternoon at matinee and tonight the real fin de seice comedy success of two continents the "strange adventures of Miss Brown" will rain fun in piercingly pleasant torrents of unlimited abundance. The au- thor's idea, refined to the extremest extent of the word, was a ludlcrous one and it's transformation into a stage representation was equally as select. Only the choicest English make up the lines, but the situa- tions and thoroughly unexpected happen ings furnish subject for laughing tears. The story of these strange adventures is that of young man, who in search of his wife, recently separated from him through par ental schemng, hies himself to a female seminary in the disguise, and an excellent one, too of a girl student The troubles in which this youngser finds himself are al- most without number and measure to the perfect delight of an interested audience The company this season is the original one, Miss Lucia Moore heading the cast, with few exceptions, that scored such per feet success in New York year ago. Ex- changes where this company has been in the south have been lavish in their praise of both play and company.
