SEA WATER AS MEDICINE
Unpleasant to Take, but Beneficial in Its Effect.

Its Effect.
 When a bather at Atlantic City the other Hay accidentally swallowed a big gulp of sea water and then rushed off to get a drink of whiskey to take the taste out of his mouth successful medical practitioner who had witnessed the performance turned to writer for 'The Star and said:
 That man is either a. greenhorn or a fool. Otherwise on such occasion he would have taken merely a sip or two of lemonade and allowed the sea water to do it's work As a matter of fact, one of the most beneficial features of a sea bath is the salt water inadverten- tly swallowed by bathers. It is a wonderful tonic for the liver, stomach and kidneys. In many cases it will cure biliousness when all drug prepara- tions have failed. It is peculiarly effective in ordinary cases of indigest- ion, disordered stomach and insomnia, and has been known to produce ex- cellent results in many cases of dyspep- sia.
 Clean sea water, such as is to be had at any of our numerous fashionable seaside resorts, is full of tonic and sedative properties. It won't hurt anybody. Indeed, two or three big swallows of it would be of positive benefit to nine bathers out of ten. It is not, of course, a palatable or tempt ing dose to take, but neither is quinine or calomel. You seldom, if ever see an old sailor who is bilious or dyspeptic, or a victim to insomnia; and why? For the reason that an ocean of good medicine spreads all about his sky and he doses himself copiously with it whenever his physical mechanism be- comes the least bit deranged. Wash ington Star.

A TOAD'S MOUTH.

Force toad's mouth open and hold it in that position, and it will suffocate. This is because he has no ribs and no way of dilating the chest; therefore, he must literally swallow air as though it were food. Forcibly keeping the creatures mouth open causes the air to pass into the stomach instead of the lungs. Another oddity is it's tongue, which is hung in the mouth just the reverse of the human tongue, being attached to the front of the jaw, the loose end hanging back and down the throat.-San Francisco Bulletin.

A PRIME MINISTER AT CRICKET.

A PRIME MINISTER AT CRICKET.
 The annual cricket match between the St. Kilda City Council and the local trademen's club took place on the St. Kilda ground in the presence of a large number of spectators. The municipali- ties won the toss, and after the custom ary inspection of the wickets decided to bat Sir George Turner was sent in or, to be more correect, went in early but he proved dismal failure as he only scored nine, after giving about as many chances as he made runs. The second ball he was clean bowled, but he refused to yield his bat on the ground that it was only trail ball that took his middle stump. On another occasion the Premier went out to meet a ball which he, of course, missed-and the impetus given to his body when mak ing the stroke impelled him to roll over full length on the ground. It happened also, that the wicket-keeper lost his balance and the ball at the same time; and the spectacle was witnessed of Sir George lying full length on the ground, with the wicket-keeper in similar posi- tion alongside of him, shaking the lat ter cordially by the hand for failing to stump him. The Premier was soon afterwards clean bowled in a manner satisfactory to himself, and on his re- turn to the pavilion he explained that he got out through fly alighting on his spectacles just as the ball was being delivered. Through his glasses the fly became magnifed, and think ing if was the ball he struck out and did not find out his mistake till he saw his off-stump knocked over.-Mel- bourne Argus.

Ashamed.
 Charles Liebra, a Frenchman, ex- pressed himself as thoroughly asham- ed of his countrymen's conduct. This man is one of the most unfortunte. He had his two motherless boys, five and seven years old, with him. He put them in T. ot but was prevented from enterine If. He could not get in any boat a. vent down with the ship. He went down so deep that he thought he was gone, but he came to the surface and at once looked for the boat with his boys. They were mo- where to be seen and he mourns them as lost. He f1oatetd a long time before a boat came along. He tried to get in but was assailed with oars and boat hooks MT. Liebra showed your core spondent his arms and body. His arms are black and blue and his body is terribly bruised from the blows he re- ceiyed. After this boat went off he was in the water eight hours.
 The Women Sank.
 Charles Liebra, who lost two chill dren, also said he saw five women who were evidently exhausted clinging to the life line of a boat. The French sailors maIiciously, as the women were in no ones way. cut the lines and the women sank, never to rise again. When your correspondent was interviewing passengers he accosted an intelligent looking Frenchman When asked if he could speak English he replied: ''No."

O THE PAINTERS STRIKE.
Central Labor Union Discussed 1t
Last Night.

The Central Labor Union and the Building
Trades Council of this city held a joint
meeting last night to take action concern
ing the present belligerent attitude of the
Painters Union and the Master Painters
Association over the boycott recently
placed against the firm of Fertig & Keevers
by Painters Union No. AZ. The attendance
was not as large as was expected, while
the Building Trades Council was only rep
resented by it's officers. No definite action
was taken by the meeting beyond appoint
ing a committee of five to confer with the
Master Painters Association in the effort
to effect an early settlement of the mat
ter. In stating the grievance of the paint
ers, Thomas Blackburn, of union No. AZ,
reviewed the controversy between the two
parties as printed from time to time in the
local papers. After the reading of the
grievances and a series of resolutions, the
matter was discussed from all standpoints
with view to settling the difficulty. Moth
ing of value was offered, however, until
Thomas Blackburn, of the Painters Union,
offered the following resolution, which was
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That this joint meeting Of the
Central Labor Union and Building Trades
Council of Indianapolis heartily indorseS
the efforts of Painters and Decorators
Union No. AZ to enforce discipline in its
ranks; and
Resolved, That this body will use it's ut
most endeavors TO help Painters Union
No. AZ in it's present differences with the
Master Painters Association; and
Resolved, That q committee of five con-
sisting OF two members of the Central La
Dor Union, two members of the Building
Trades Council and one from Painters
Union No. AZ be appointed to assist said
Union No Al in arriving at a speedy ad-
justment of said differences"
1t was then agreed that the joint meet
ing should take a recess until Thursday
night, allowing the committee to do its
work in the meantime. 1t was suggested
that as the master painters meet On We'd
nesday night the matter could be present
ed to them and their decision heard by the
joint meeting on the following night The
following members of the organizations
were chosen on the committee: James
Mack, representing the painters; James
Cherry. of Typographical Union No. l, and
Harry Decker, of the Carpenters, represent
ing the Central Labor Union, and Harry
Roberts, of the Woodworkers, and Arch
Hall. engineer at the county courthouse,
representing the Building Trades Council.

THE NIGHT SCHOOL POPULAR.
1t Opens with Increased Attendance
Over Last Year.

Two hundred and sixty-two people last
night enrolled themselves as pupils in the
night school which will hold it's sessions at
the Industrial Training School building dur
ing the coming school year. Two hundred
ana ten was the number of pupils who APP
peared the first night of last year and the
management of the school is encouraged to
believe that this season will easily excel
the two which have already been conducted
in the good accomplished.
The entry to the building was jammed
when the doors were opened at 1880 o'clock.
After short Introductory talk by j. c.
Trent, the pupils went to the rooms and
designated the branches they wish to study.
Those who take freehand drawing, book
keeping or mechanical drawing will not be
allowed to take any other subject Under
these conditions twenty will study freehand
drawing, hfty-two bookkeeping and forty
two mechanical drawing. Those who take
other branches will be allowed two SUBJ
jects. The number for the different subjects
is about twenty-five for stenography fifteen
for algebra, seventy for penmanship, seven
ly-IVe Tor arithmetic and eight for geomet-
~. Stenography is taught for the first time.
AT the present time only five teachers
have been employed under Professor Trent
while ten was the number last year. These,
however will be added to as the number
OF pupils increases. The total enrolment
last year reached 435, and at the present
rate not less than 500 may be looked for
this year II so, the teaching corps will
probably be doubled. At present there will
be only one person for each subject. A j.
Bean viii teach mechanical drawing, w. j.
Ihlsselle bookkeeping, "A. j. Taylor stenog-
raphy, Il. L. Allen mathematics and Otto
Stark freehand drawing The rules of the
school Will not be changed much. Meetings
Will be held from 1880 until O'Clock on
Monday Wednesday and Friday nights of
each week. A deposit of 81 is required from
each pupil to guarantee against damage to
season. To guarantee the safety of wraps
no one will be allowed to leave the building
at the close of each session until every per-
son has his property in his immediate pos
session.
About 10 per cent of the pupils are girls.
Most of girls are clerks living in the neigh
borhood of the school building. The men are
of all ages and come from all parts of the
city Quite number are gray-headed. The
between fifteen and twenty years old The
boys work chiefly in factories and stores
through the day. If 1t is found that any
pupil can attend day school he is immediate
ly dismissed. II is estimated that about IS
per cent OF those who were present last
night had ATTENDED at some time last year.
Prof. Trent said that last year quite a num-
days work was done to attend the school.
He mentioned one little fellow who lives
beyond Woodruff Place. who walked every
night, no matter how tired he was or how
cold ii might be. He never wore an overcOat
or even earmuffs. He would come in with
his ears almost frozen but he was always
cheerful. lie was present again last night.

NEW POLICE DISTRICTS
POSITIONS OF TWENTY OF THE
GAMEWELL BOXES CHANGED.
Six PatrOImen and Two Sergeants to
BE Appointed First of
the YeaH.

Superintendent of Police Quigley has al
tered the police districts Of the city. The
lines have been changed so that more pa
trolmen can use the Gamewell boxes with
out leaving their beats. The positions Of
twenty of the boxes have been changed, so
that they are more conveniently reached
by patrolmen whose beats are in the parts of
town where trouble is likely to break out
at any time.
Some of the districts are very large, and it
is impossible for the patrolmen to cover
them thoroughly in twelve hours. Superin-
tendent Quigley says most of the districts
should be cut up into three districts, each
patrolled by two men. AT the first of the
year the police force will be increased by
six more patrolmen and two sergeants. To-
day there are nine vacancies on the force
They will not be filled now because the
economical city administration has not
the money to pay them. After the first of
next year two sergeants will be appointed
to do night and day duty at the desk in the
receiving room at the police station.

ANNUAL FLORAL FESTIVAL.
1t VIII Open at TomlinsOn Hall Next
Thursday.

The twelfth annual chrysanthemum show,
or floral festival, will be given in Tomlinson
Hall next week, beginning Tuesday evening.
The committee has secured special rates OF
one and one-third fare on all the railroads,
good coming to the city on Wednesday and
Thursday, and good returning through Sat
urday. The decorations this year will be of
Florida moss. Mayor Taggart will make the
address of welcome, and there will be spe-
cial features each day and evening. The
members of the Free Kindergarten and
Children's Society will be especially inter-
ested in the flower show this year, as the
society is to have liberal share Of the re-
ceipts. The ladies will have charge of the
flower booth and the sale of flowers, and
they will also serve a business mems lunch
con Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
The flower show is always one Of the most
notable events of the season and is the
only entertainment or show of
the kind given in this State. Flor
lists from all parts of the country send
their best blooms and compete for prizes,
which are offered by the merchants. Nearly
every year since the first chrySanthemum
show was given there has been some par
ticular variety that has caught the public
fancy Once it was the Puritan, a pure
white flower, and another year it was a
tremendously large deep yellow one. The
flowers are often named after prominent
people and have in this way an additional
interest. The sight of TomlinSon Hall trans
formed into great flower garden is one
of seeing and those who go for the nrSt
time are filled with surprise and wonder.

AN OLD CLAIM DEFEATED
GREW OUT OF TERRE HAUTE EN-
CAMPMENT FIVE YEARS AGO.
Don NJ. Roberts Wanted the State to
Pay for Teams 1t
Wouldn't Use.

The Court Of Claims yesterday decided a
case which has been before the courts of
Indiana for over five years. In 1893 the
state militia held it's annual encampment at
Terre Haute, but before the troops were
there for duty the state officers had many
preparations to make for their comfort All
the tentage and camp equipage had to be
brought to the ground and made ready for
use, and this required considerable teaming
to be done in short space of time Major
Mewhinney, who was an officer on the staff
of Governor Matthews, having charge of
this work. made a verbal contract with Don
NJ Roberts to use twelve of his teams to
haul the state property to the camp. AS
the agreement was only made the day be-
fore the camp was to have been opened
1t was necessary that the teams should
work all night. This, however, Roberts re-
fused to permit, whereupon Colonel De-
frees, who was then temporarily in charge
Of the camp, told him he need moi do any
more work. and that the state would hire
other men to do what was necessary. Rob-
erts's teams quit work at o'clock and the
others were put to work, and by morning
there was nothing more to do. Roberts,
however, held that he must be paid for the
entire time his teams should have worked
had they been permitted to finish the work
on the following day, and carried his case
from one court to another, until it has
dragged through five years.
Yesterday morning the Court of Claims,
which consists of the three judges of the
Superior Court sitting jointly, finally dis
posed of the case by giving judgment
against Roberts. The principal reason the
case was Of SO long duration was that it
was impossible to get Roberts and his wit
nesSeS into court together at any of the pre-
viouS hearings of the case. The costs in
the case will be very heavy and will be
borne by Roberts.

Tyler Graham, of New Albany, filed suit
in the Federal Court yesterday against Re-
ceiver Jarvis. of the Louisville. Evansville
& ST. Louis Railroad. to recover 5000 dam
ages. He claimed that on Oct. 10 last, while
driving from New Albany to what is known
as French settlement" on the "Budd road,'
he was compelled to cross the railroad
tracks and did so at the precise time an
express train passed. He says his view of
the approaches was INSTRUCTED and that the
engineer did not sound his whistle. His
wagon was struck and demolished while he
badly injured.
Ada Howard asked judgment against Re-
ceiver Volney T. Malott, of the Vandalia
Railroad, for $1,000 While travelling from
Terre Haute to Charlottesville Aug. the
train collided with another and she was
thrown over several seats and considerably
injured.

Not unfrequently the symptoms of a
weak or diseased heart are obscure and
misleading. Overwork or heart strain pro-
duces more or less irritation, showing itself
in shortness of breath, pain in the heart,
or in some of the numerous nerve centers
of the chest and abdomen. In most cases
the pain is not in the heart, but appears in
the bowels, especially in the left side, in
the left shoulder and down the left arm.
In bad cases of neuralgia of the heart the
pain will shoot into the head, chest and
both arms. DIR. Miles New Heart Cure
