Park-..pown I'm pixle.n

Down in Dixie" which began a three
days engagement at the Park yesterday
seems to have lost none of it's old-time
drawing power. Large audiences were pres
ent and greeted the numerous clever spe-
cialties with prolonged and frequently vo-
ciferous applause. Down in Dixie" is
Southern melodrama, the time of which
was originally before the civil war, but the
lines have been rewritten, so that now it is
able to take advantage Of whatever interest
attaches TO the more recent HiSpano-Amer-
iean difficulty OF course there is story
which has to be told, but no one bothers
about that; The people are interested in the
songs, and dances, and comical antics of
the pickaninnies, of which there seems to
be an unusually large number with this
SHOW. The Florida Quartet is composed of
auine darStes, and their singing reflects
a. ar on the State from which they derive
the. name. The Carolina Banjo and Man
doltn Club furnished an entertainment by
itself The showiest and noisiest feature OF
the performance. however, was the All
American Pickaninny Band" which
marched about the stage discoursing music
OF considerable excellence. This organiza-
ton received several encores, to one of
which 1t responded with a fine rendition of
Milt q. Barlow. as Mammie Green was in
stantly recognized in the colored auntie and
she received quite an ovation. Her excel
lent work as a delineator of negro char
acter has not deteriorated. The scenery and
effects accompanying Down in Dixie are
good. The play remains the rest of the
week, with usual matnees. Monday il will

as as Ldncolns or Grants, though he. unlike
them, was born in the upper classes. His

one or the cloud of witnesses to the pro-

JUDGE BAKER FINED HIM.
A Hartford City Man in the Federal
COuFt-Other Cases.

James j. MadduX, recently a candidate
for the mayoralty of Hartford City, was
on trial yesterday In the Federal Court for
sending Objectionable letters through the
mails. While he was making his race for
Office the editor of the Hartford City Times
criticised his character, to which act Mad
dux took exception and retaIiated by send
ing him letter in which he made charges
against the moral nature of the editor
which took the shape of indecency. Judge
Baker fined him SO and costs on his own
statement of the case at the same time re-
marking that newspapers sometimes at
tackled public men through their columns
when the victims had little or no chance to
retallate. On the recommendation of Attor-
ney LaFolette Maddux was given ninety
days In which to pay the money.
Jacob Wolf who keeps a saloon on East
washington street, was allowed TO go on
his own recognizance pending a study of
the law touching his case. He was accused
by James Owen, a civil war veteran, of ap-
propriating the pension check belonging to
him. The testimony was conflicting on both
sides, but It seems that Owen habitually re-
ceived his pension check he took it to Wolf,
whom he owed s., and asked to have it
eashed; Wolf he claims, kept the check:
the check except Sc, which he paid him. The
point which Commissioner Moores wants to
decide is just how far. the law against the
pension money of soldiers subject to gar
nishment covers this case.
DIR. James Foubian was found guilty of
violating the pension laws in the Federal
Court yesterday. He was charged with
forging the name Of Mrs. Elizabeth Tyler,
OF Heltonsville, to an application for a PEN
sion. Mrs. Tyler said she never authorized
him to apply for the pension. His own son,
whose name was signed to the document as
a witness, said also that he never signed it,
and that he had never authorized his father
to do so for him. Foubian will be sentenced
to-day.
John G. Mason, a young farmer, was
fined $50 and costs In the Federal Court for
Clayton, Ind, who had Tilted him. His
manifest ignorance of the law or the ameni-
ties of society brought him a lecture from
tho court in addition to his fine.
Judge Baker yesterday sent Thomas Cor
don the. Elwood counterfeiter, to the peni-
tentiary for a year and n half and fined him
80 while John Councilman, who robbed
the Thelma postoffice, was sent over for
two years and was fined S25.

EVANSVILLE ASKS RELIEF.
Wants Legislature to Devise u Plan
for Paying Of Her Debt.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, Dec. 1.-During the
session of the incoming Legislature the city
of Evansville will send a committee of in
fluential citizens to Indianapolis to endeavor
to have the charter under which this city
is operated amended in a number of in
stances One of the most important changes
that will be asked is that provision be made
so that this city can establish a sinking
fund looking to the wiping out Of the city
debt, on which more than 100000 has been
paid annually since the city compromised
with the holders of city bonds after repu-
dating her obligations some years ago. The
debt of the city is $2,155,O00 with no provi-
sion whatever for the redemption of bonds
when they fall due. The Legislature will
be asked to make it compulsory on the part
of those in power to raise a certain sum
of money each year to be used exclusively
in reducing the city debt 1t is intended, of
course, that the manner in which this money
is to be raised shall be provided for by law.
The people of the city can see relief only
through the Legislature, as there is too
much politics mere to accomplish results in
any other way. A taxpayers league, COM
posed of prominent citizens, has been organ
lied and is now at work on the amendments
to the city charter that are desired.

TROOPS LEAVING HAWAII.
Seven Hundred VIII Return to the
United states in "a Week.

VICTORIA, B. c., Dec. 1.-THE steamer
MIowera has arrived here, bringing Homo
lulu advices up to the 23d. On Nov. % the
steamer Australia was to leave Honolulu
with five hundred men of the New York
regiment. bound to San Francisco on the
way to New York. A few days later two
hundred more will follow by the Alameda.
The troops are supposed to have been re-
called on account of the ravages of typhoid.
There are said to have been three hundred
cases when the Miowera left. Permission
has been received at Honolulu from Wash
ington to abandon independence Park as a
hospital site as soon as other quarters can
be fitted UP.
Hawaiian planters have contracted with
the American sugar refinery for the sale OF
the entire sugar output of the island for the
next two years. I'VE have sold out to the
trust" said a leading planter but it was
a case of could not help ourselves Our nrst
overtures were to the Arbuckles. We
wanted to patronize the independent re-
fneries and were open in our opposition to
the trust, but the Arbuckles would not buy,
and the American sugar refinery held out
inducements which no one else was prepared
to meet"
A big demonstration took place when the
steamer Newport sailed for Manila Nov. 10.
The Hawaiian band played many patriotic
airs. Three days later another demonStra-
ton was held on the occasion of the trans
port Pennsylvania sailing for Manila with
the Kansas troops.
A big batch of Gaicians who We're brought
from Siberia to work on the Oahu planta-
ton under contract struck and went to Jail
rather than go back to work. The majority
received a sentence of two years. They
were put to breaking rocks at the govern
ment quarries. Among the strikers are a
number Of boys under twenty years of age.
Their contracts were declared null.
An injunction has been issued restraining
the bishop of Honolulu from the threatened
revocation Of the license of the Second
Cathedral congregation and of Rev. Alex
ander Macintosh, the rector.
The citizens of Honolulu were preparing
a big banquet for the troops on Thanksgiv-
ing day.

CrOwding Street Cars.
Philadelphia Times.

The first reported demonstration of some
members of an Anti-Crowding of Street Cars
Association, just formed in Omaha, was
when the car was comfortably full to order
the conductor to go ahead, and the order
was given in such an earnest, not to say
threatening manner, that the conductor
went ahead much to the satisfaction of his
passengers. But he left behind him, dis
satisfied, an equal or probably a greater
number of would-be passengers and though
this first success of the association was re-
ceived with general favor. ii is just
these would-be passengers who will
finally bring any such attempt-in this coun-
try. at least-to nothing. OF course, the
man who is on the car is an anti-crowder
to the point of bitter partisanship, but the
man who is not on but wants to be. forgets
or repudiates in an instant all he has ever
said on the subject. If any of the frequent
ly proposed laws for not crowding the street
cars were passed in any city of the United
States. they would be violated ard made of
no effect by the patrons OF the cars them
selves, and without any trouble to the COM
pany. The only possible solution of this
problem, now geographically universal, is
the running of more cars If there were a
simple law prohibiting the collection Of more
than half fare from people who do not get
seats. it would be so easily enforced that the
companies would speedily put on enough
cars To get every one Of the half fares that
was escaping them.

apolis short visit last night, playing to "a
fair-sized audience at English's. Theater-

SO that on Miss Rice alone falls the obliga-

Rice and her ever youthful charms This
little comedienne has determined never to

iightful faculty of taking her audience into
her confidence, whispering her fun into it's
ears and then laughing with it was as at
tractive as ever The story of the play mat
tered little; the audience waited for Miss
Kiee TO make an entrance and do some
thing funny or clever. The players who
helped Miss Rice were just acceptable and
neither offended by their inability nor di-

The Right Timber for senator.

To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal
From newspaper comments and interviews
it seems that many Republicans consider
place-hunting ability the chief requisite of a
good United States senator. Surely the per-
centage of the Republicans of Indiana who
so think must be very small-possibly ] per
cent. These few, however, judging from
some other States talk loud enough to be
heard in the party councils and exert con-
siderable influence. So we see fine place
hunting senator's from New York, Pennsyl-
vania and other States. History has proved
that the senator's most successful in get
ting appointments have been painfully puSil-
luminous in the directorate of the Nation
Who Of them ever notably championed a
public measure, instituted reform, by
| his Intelligence, learning and integrity in
fiuenced Congress TO enact law of real
benefit TO the people of this country? Not
one. In real craftsmanship they have been
deficient, ana they have been a hindrance
to the Senate and discredit to their States.

tises State gives it's people good stand
ing in the eyes Of the world or disgraces it
as its United States senators.
Indiana has good senator and we have
who will be great credit TO this State.
Why not lay aside all little considerations
and select man who has great learning to
inform the Senate. to bring the members
from the cloak rooms when ne speaks great
elOquence TO impart his learning effectively
and move the Senate, great experience
