WASHINGTON. Feb. 4-Otis Skinner.
who Dis playing an engagement at the Ma
tional Theater in this city, addressed the
pupils and invited guests of the Washing
ton High School to-day on the characters
of Shakespeare from the standpoint of the
actor Among the statements he made on
traditional stage representation was that
the time has gone by for stilted and I'M
natural performances of the standard char
acters that the only hope for a continuance
of the popularity of Shakspeare's plays lay
in treating the characters as strictly mod
ern, up-to-date people. He said that the
young growing up to-day i'm our schools
have it in their power to become the patrons
OF the best forms of dramatic art and to
discountenance many of the samples of de-
bauched plays such as have recently dis
graced the American theater.

EVEN TO POCKET MONEY
LA FOLLETTE's CREDITOR WANTED
EVERYTHING THE INDIANIAN HAD.
Examination in Superior Court Yes
terday Of the Promoters Affairs
Fifteen Dollars in Cash.

In the proceedings supplemental to execu-
ton, brought by James b. Dill, of New
York, on claim of s.. $50 against Harvey
NJ. La Toilette, formerly state superin-
tendent of public instruction, an investiga-
ton was had yesterday in the Superior
Court for the purpose of ascertaining what
property, if any. the defendant has that can
be levied on.
La Toilette was arrested week ago and
placed under bond to appear before Judge
Harvey, of the Superior Court. The suit
was brought by Attorney Charles Martin
dale, representing the New York claim.
La Toilette testified that his vocation is that
of civil engineer and that his home is at
Lebanon, Ind. He stated he was connected
with the Cumberland Coal and Iron Com
pany, of Tennessee. The question was raised
to whether the property La Toilette
might have in the way of stock in the Ten
nessee company could be properly subjected
to investigation in these proceedings. Judge
Harvey held with Attorney Harlan, who
represented La Toilette, that the Tennes-
: see possessions of the defendant were out
of the jurisdiction of this court Being
asked as to his Marion county property La
Toilette said he owned real estate at
Brightwood and in the neighborhood Of
Newman ana seventeenth streets. Inc
property, he said, was worth 5000, but it is
incumbered by mortgages held by the
Fidelity Building and Savings Association.
La Toilette was formerly connected with
the association in an official capacity. There
is s. 900 due on these mortgages. In addition
there is a $4,000 mortgage in which this
property with other real estate is included
as securities La Toilette admitted he
owned $1,000 worth of stock in the State
Bank of Indiana. This he said, is pledged
to secure a note held by Tennessee bank.
His equity in the stock, he thought, is worth
about $3.50. Judge Harvey held this could be
levied on. During the examination yester-
day Attorney Martindale demanded to know
Of the witness how much money he had on
his person. La Toilette replied that he
thought he had about SIS in cash.
Produce it and Wen see demanded the
attorney. There was an objection to this
but the court overruled it La Toilette
brought out his wallet and counted SIS. At
torney Martindale asked that this money be
applied on his claim. The court said he
would pass on this phase of the question
this morning. An order was issued giving
Attorney Martindale the right to seize the
$1,000 of bank stock, subject to the claim of
the Tennessee bank, which is prior to the
New York claim. Attorney Harlan pledged
his word that there would be no attempt
to transfer the stock and the matter will
be fixed up this morning.

THE CANAL OWNERSHIP.
Water Works Company Assessed for
White RiXer nfercenfnr.


When making up the assessment roll for
the White river interceptor, William A.
Hughes, chief of the Assessment Bureau,
conceived the idea that the Indianapolis
Water Company ought to bear part of the
cost on account of its ownership of the
canal. He submitted the case to City At
torney Curtis, who looked into the owner
ship of the canal. He found a case where
the Supreme Court Of the State had held
that the water company owned the bed of
the canal and the towpath in fee simple.
He therefore sent Mr.. Hughes a written
opinion stating that the water company
should be required to bear it's proportion Of
all street improvements just as other abut-
ting property owners. The Assessment on
account of the sewer is but 81, 72074. 1t has
not been paid, but there are several days
before it is delinquent.
The assessment on account of the sewer
is not the only question involved. Under
the ruling on this, the water company could
be required to bear a portion of the cost of
street intersections. Mr.. Hughes says that
since the opinion of the city attorney was
obtained no streets have been improved
across the canal and there has been no oc-
casion to consider assessing it for intersec-
t1ons. If any east-and-west streets are
improved across the canal, or rather UP TO
and beyond it, this feature will be nvesti-
gated Quite number of east-and-west
streets-Ohio, New York, Vermont Mich
igan, etc.,--have been permanently i'm
proved up to the canal bridges and beyond
them, in years that have gone by, but no
assessments have been made against the
company 1t is now too late to charge up
the amounts that might have been assessed
by succeeding administrations. 1t is be-
Heved that inasmuch the water company
claims the fee simple to the canal, if the
city decided to construct bicycle paths or
ooulevards along its banks most of the cost
could be assessed against the company, as
Well as the cost of repairing old and build
ing new bridges. 1t seems that this fact
would make Councilman Madden's PROPOSE
ton to boulevard the canal and construct
sewer in 1T both feasible and of little eX-
pense to the city and resident property
owners.

What shall we do with the poor old dress.
Fit to be cast aside
Long ere out Of lies storm and stress
Its busy owner died?
Not worth remaking, and room Is scarce,
AID to leave 1t hung in its place
Means sudden pangs Of a scarce-healed woe
Ard q lost beloved face.
Yet that dress shabby that close beside
Another OF silk might hang,
And IL brushed its neghbOf nesting there
With never a grudging pang.
For the heart that beat in the shabby gown
Loved the heart in the slken dress
And left il a lesson OF lifelong love
And patient unselhshness.
o silent witness Of mother-love
TIL the warm heart fell asleep
Good enough for the mothers wear
Then good enough to keep.
Fold Il away with reyerent hands
And quiet and loving tears
Then pray for the heart in the silken dress
Through the motherless coming years.
