HOBSON DIDN'T COME,
But Greencnstle Caught a Glimpse of
Him.

The report that Lieutenant r. p. Hobson,
of the United States navy, would pass
through Indianapolis yesterday on his way
from Louisville to Chicago, drew a number
Of young women with their escorts to the
Union Station. But the hero Of Santiago
harbor failed to come this way, and in
stead went by the way of Greencastle. Word
from that place last night indicated that
Lieutenant Hobson was warmly received
when he arrived there. About three hun
dred citizens and students gave him an en-
thusiastic welcome at the depot, and he
made them little speech, in which he
said he was on his way to the Philippines.
He was greatly pleased with his reception
HobSOn goes to the Philippines to assist IN
raising some of the boats which Admiral
Dewey sent to the bottom of Manila bay
on May ].
The young women who fingered about the
Union Station to see the young hero were
grievously disappointed at his failure to
come this way One brown-eyed young
creature declared it was burning
shame" 1t was supposed that Hobson would
arrive on the Pennsylvania train from
Louisville about o'clock. When the train
drew into the sheds and stopped the con-
ductor Shrewdly guessed the cause of the
feminine visitation, and remarked that
"Eobson was In the baggage car.
Here. Richard" ne called out at the door
of the car, some young ladies are here to
see YOU.
Instead of the young naval hero a hrawny
baggageman came huStling to the door and
lavished his choicest smile on the group that
pressed forward. The conductor malicious
blushed and locked the disappointment they
felt.

1t stands for a book that is simple and bright
And never has lit rary airs.
1t isn't novel that's spicily sexed,
It hasn't problem to make me perplexeoi
It's simple and sweet,
And it's strictly discreet,
With nice little moral worked out in the text.
And here are the story books colored by Crane

And ponder them over with zest.

WASHINGTON, Dec 1.-THE War De-
paItment VIII suspend about half Of the
claims made against the United States by
the State of Indiana for the repayment of
wise preparing soldiers fo- the war with
spain. OF the entire claim $lO5 900 has been
allowed, and the remainder is suspended to
await fuller informa tion from the Gov
ernor and necessary legislation authorizing
the federal government to pay the amounts.
The auditor of the War Department ad-
Vlsed Mr.. Overstreet to-day that he is pre-
pairing a difference sheet" which will be
forwarded to Governor Mount the first of
next week, which sheet will show in detail
the reasons for such action in every in
stance. It was further explained that the
federal law enacted on the Sth OF July last
provided for the transportation of soldiers
from place OF enrolment. In Indiana prac-
tcaliy all the soldiers were enrolled at In
dianapolis and mustered in there, conse-
quenuy there is no authority for the re-
payment to the State of the money spent
in bringing the soldiers from their homes
in various parts of the State to Indianapo-
respect, and there will undoubtedly be Leg
lslation by Congress which Will enable the
authorities at Washington to make proper
reimbursement. Pending such action the
states VIII have to wait.
The law or July also provided for the
payment OF volunteers from the date Of en-
rollment. The greater number of Indiana
soldiers were enrolled at Indianapolis April
26 and mustered in May 10, Between 800
and 1900 Of them received double pay for
the fourteen days. the State paying at the
rate of 81 80 a day and the federal govern
ment at the rate of GO cents day for that
period. No provision whatever has been
made for reimbursement in such cases. and
the State is apparently out about $4,000. OF
course, no attempt will be made TO recover
J the money from the individual soldiers. and

The vespers services at the Second Pres
byterian Church at o'clock yesterday
afternoon were largely attended, the marked
increase over the former attendance at night
services attesting the popularity of the
change. Many OF the vespers attendants
are young people, the short sermon and the
beautiful music at the twilight hour at
tracing them. Mr.. AIilburn talked of the
humility of the great Paul, whose admission
that he had not ''apprehended' all things
furnished the text. The man who feels he
has attained all things, who is content with
what he knows, is the man that fails in
life. He who, knowing his own strength,
still feels q sense of nonattainment, is best
lection and happiness. A collection was
taken for the Salvation Army Christmas
dinner for the poor, Mr.. Ailburn. in a few
Beautiful words, speaking of the work of
this band, which reaches people whom the
church cannot get to.

CHICAGO, Dec. 17.-AAH the women clerks
and stenographers of the Chicago & North
western Railroad who have not been in the
employ of the company for at least two
will be filled by men. The rule applies TO
every office on the Northwestern system.
An official of the road said to-day: THE
move was not because the women proved in
efficient but is simply carrying out the COM
panys policy in the matter of promotion OF
employees. The Northwestern wishes to adj
vance its employees from low positions to Of
fees of trust. Can you imagine a woman
as general superintendent or general man
ager of the affairs of this great railway
system? I think not. But just so long as
we have women IN the clerical positions the
source from which to draw valuable officials
in the future is narrowed to small limits"

A PEEP THROUGH THE WINDOW.

Rev. Mr.. ViIIers's Series of "Indianap-
oils by Night" Sermons.
A large audience heard the sermon Of Rev
II. j. Villers at the First Baptist Church
last night. 1t was one of a series of even
ing topics which the pastor is preaching
under the general subject, Indianapolis at
Night" The topic last night was: "A Peep
through the Window Lattice, or, a Young
Man That l Saw One Night" The sermon
was largely devoted to young men and to
the snares and pitfalls of sim At the close
Of the sermon an appropriate solo, Where
Is My Boy Tonight" was sung The pas
tors text was found in the words of Solo
mon. written in seventh Proverbs: For
at the window of my house looked through
my easement and discerned among the
youths q young man devoid OF understand

things that 1ennysOn calico Jewels. He was

young people who heard him to be careful
OF their associations. As you value your
character" he said, ''as you value your
future. be careful how you spend your even

If settlement is made it will be between

Is giving the War Department officials more
worry tnan any which has been raised. The
law of July provided only for the repay
ment to States OF moneys spent in fitting
out soldiers before that date Anything
spent by States after July will have to be
provided for by new legislation. Indiana
figures to some extent there also. There
was more or less irregularity in making
acquisitions upon the government for pay
ment of claims, but opportunity will be
given for correction. The hardship which
Indiana suffers in not being able to secure
prompt repayment of moneys advanced for
her soldiers is also endured by nearly every
other State. Few accounts are correct
throughout, and in nearly every instance
difference sheets have had to be sent
back to Governors for correction and revi-
sion.
