SALE CLOSE TO $4,000.
May Festival season Tickets-CrOwd
in Line.

Before the Big Four ticket office opened
Yesterday morning there was crowd about
the doors waiting for an opportunity to buy
season tickets for the May music festival.
The sale did not open until o'clock and
by that time nearly fifty guarantors
and as many others had places in
the line. The rule made by the direc-
tors that no one person should be allowed
to purchase more than six seats worked adj
mirably and for the first time in the his
tory of May festival advance sales there
was no dissatisfaction The first purchaser
had absolutely the choice of any six seats
in the hall. The sale continued all day with
a good demand, and a number OF orders
from out of town were received and nlled.
The total sale for the day was nearly $4,000,
which the directors regard as encouraging.
Although about four hundred tickets were
disposed of yesterday they do not make a
good showing on the plat, on account of
Tomlinson Hall having such great seat
ing capacity, over $500. The great demand,
as it always has been, was for the first
row of the balcony but there are still seats
to be obtained there. In all other parts OF
the hall there are plenty of as desirable
seats as have been sold. The sale Will con-
tinue to-day and tomorrow and on next
Monday morning at o'clock will begin the
sale of seats for single concerts.

up from Cincinnati yesterday In the after

A COMPANY OF CoNvICTs.
Capt. Harrison Wants to Command
One frcyD, RefOrmatOry.

A unique scheme for the organization Of
a, military company of convicts was sug-
gested to Governor Mount yesterday by
Capt. George A. Harrison, superintendent of
police at Lafayette. He was in Indianap-
oils for the purpose of getting some requisl-
ton papers and incidentally proposed his
plan. He suggests that at least one COM
pany be recruited from the State Reforma-
tory and be put into the field when the call
is made for troops.
Captain Harrison was a soldier in the
civil war serving as captain of company
in New York regiment. He says that in
his regiment there was a company of sol
diers made up of convicts from Blackwell's
island. They were given a species of parole
with the understanding that If they did
their duty faithfully and received honor
able discharge from the service they were
to be pardoned and freed from prison. He
says that in that company there We're, of
course some dishonorable discharges, but
the percentage was no greater than in other
companies The men made good soldiers,
lighting not only from patriotism but with
the added inducement of freedom. Their
prison life had familiarized them with Sc
we're discipline and they drilled with UNI
usual precision. Many Of them were fel-
world from their earliest childhood, with
nothing particularly to arouse their man
hood ambition Sent to the war, they
were well uniformed, well drilled, given a
chance TO make something of themselves
and gain honor as soldiers, and they i'm
proved their opportunity. They took pride
in their personal appearance, and their
company was picked the best appearing
and best drilled In the whole regiment.
A company from the ReformaSor, Capt.
Harrison thinks, would be as cret ape 10
the State as any other company. he says
there are many men not wholly depraVed
who are imprisoned for small otfenses and
would be glad of a chance TO wash out their
bad records. IL need be. with blood. They
would have even more motive 70, gallant
service than others, uniting the hope OF per-
sonai liberty with love of country Capt.
Harrison does not think his convict COM
pany should have an opportunity before the
militia, but In the case OF citizs volunteers
he was not so sure Il coL1f net speak
from an entirely unprecedented POINT of view
as 70 that. said he, for e.a anxious to
coEamand that company from the Reforma-

INFANTRY ROSTERS.
Membership of Two Local Companies
That VIII BE Called

The rosters of the infantry companies
In Indianapolis that will go to the front
are of considerable interest at the present
time. These companies are A, III and
d, Of the Second Regiment. Company
A was formerly the Richardson Zouaves,
and d was formerly the indianapolis Light
Infantry, both old companies that were
cracks on the drill field some years ago.
Brigadier General Mckee was at one time
captain of the Light Infantry and went up
the line, or rather up the field, from this
position. The three companies have seen
service in the field during strikes.
The armory of Company A is at Cruise. and
Washington streets. The officers and pri-
Yates are as follows:
Captain, James Little; first lieutenant,
William H. Herr; second lieutenant, Louis
II. Mackey.

PRICES ARE ADVANCING
WAR PROSPECT SENDS PROVISIONS
BOOMING IN THIS CITY.
The Army Bean Finds Itself i'm Great
Demand-A Marked Scarcity
in Beef.

The portentousi rumors of a sudden out
| breaking of hcstllities between this country
and Spain have become responsible for a
pronounced rise in prices on several of the
| grocers' staple articles, and citizens may,
| from now on, make calculations for pay
ing war prices for household necessities, ac-
| cording to the prophecies of the whole
| salers
Just at the present time there is nothing
felt but an upward tendency in the grocery
market, but the increase in price is as yet
| not exactly alarming. Even the most OPP
timistic, however, do not hope for anything
but a steady increase.
According to M. O'Connor & Co.. coffee
of all grades and prices advanced yester-
day II cent a pound. All sorts of teas
brought cents a. pound more than the day
before. Tobacco has shot up cents a
pound, while sugar increased Is of cent
a pound on all grades.
The most pronounced bullish tendency is
seen in beans, the common white Boston
bean. This product is going up rapidly and
with large jumps Yesterday morning the
price of beans was from 81 cents to 81 a
bushel, but during the day any retailer who
wished to stock up long on beans was
compelled to pay $1,15 bushel. All the
WICleSdlGIS agree tnaL the lHCISdSSu PiiSC
is due to the expected demand of the gov
eminent for these articles for the use of the
army.
Just how high prices will go no one likes
to say, as it is largely guesswork, but all
the dealers unite in saying that prices will
not stop at the present notch.
Meat has raised in price from the whole
saler to the retailer in nearly all lines, more
particularly IN beeves AMI fresh pork. Beef
has gone up during the p;lst two days from
1a to ! cent pound in all grades or cattle.
This, while not enough to warrant no.
ticeable increase to the consumer. makes
difference of from SIS TO IS a beef. Hogs have
also increased about Il cent a pound, but
there is not nearly the uneasineSs felt con-
corning the pork situation as that OF beer.
There is q marked scarcity of beef in the
market, hardly any being shipped from the
West, while the native offerings are not eX-
tensive enough to supply the demand. No
one knows why the range cattle are not
shipped, unless 1t be that the breeders are
holding them on the ranges in anticipation
of good price from the government. Pack
ing house men in St. Louis and Chicago
have notified their customers in this city
that they are about to import large quantl-
ties Of Mexican cattle to supply their wants,
as 1t is next to impossible to get anything
but native cattle, and the supply of these
will be soon exhausted. Altogether, nearly
every one in the grocery or meat business
looks for war prices and a temporary scare
ity of necessities.

CITY EMPLOYEES MAY GO.
Mayor Taggart Issues a Proclamation
to This Effect.

Mayor Taggart issued a war proclamation
yesterday, announcing that all city en-.
ployes who desire to go to the front will be
given a leave of absence, their places being
held open to them on their return. How
many, if any, employees will go is not known.
In the City Hall there are three members
of the Indianapolis Light Artillery M G..
Hornaday, chief clerk in the city engineer s
office, Charles Garrard, sprinkling inspec-
tor. and Otis G. Ham, bookkeeper of the
park bureau. The mayors proclamation APP
plies to all city employees, including patrol
men, firemen and other departments. 1t is.
of course, not obligatory. The proclamation
is headed ITO all City Employees" and
reads:
ION account of the conditions threatening
war between the government of the United
States and Spain, any city employees who
may enlist in the army or navy of the
United States will be given leave of alb
sence and his position retained for him dur
ing such absence. This order applies to all
departments of the city government"
Mr.. Hornaday said yesterday afternoon
that it would probably not be determined
whether the members of the Light Artillery
employed in the City Hall would go to the
front with the battery until tomorrow or
Sunday.

Snyder, of st. Paul. who is to wrestle Sam
Murbarger at the Grand tonight, is ten
pounds heavier than the Indianapolis
middle weight and as strongly built.
Murbarger is not at all nervous
about this handicap, however. and
thinks that if he could throw Ciehle he
ought to be able to get away with Snyder.
The latter has an excellent record and is
champion of the Northwest. George Cat
terson will probably referee the match
which is to be catch-as-ca tch-can. The

A REMARKABLE BOOK.

The most noteworthy book that
has been placed on the market DUR
ing the last two years is "Infallible
Logic" by Thomas d. Hawley, and
published by The Dominion Compa-
ny. Chicago, a copy of which has just
come to our desk. It contains the
discovery OF a new system oflogic by
which the processes of reasoning
have been simplified and reduced to
infallibility. By this system thecon
clusion derived from the given prem.
ises is as certain as the answer to an
arithmetieal problem. Because it's
complexity AMI uncertainty, logic
has heretofore been a subject for
scholars only. This system is SO
simple that anyone OF ordinary intel
ligenee can learn 1t and become an
accurate reasoner. The volume con-
tains nearly 700 large pages, is fully
indexed and bound in full law sheep.
Price, $500. Full descriptive matter
may be had by addressing the pub
Usher. This book is of particular
value to teachers, lawyers, and pro-
fessional men generally. and is high
ly recommended by prominent men
every where.
