very start these two parties each
friendly disposed towards the other,
were made mutually distrustful and
Gntagoristlc; and as soon .s this petty
religious rivalry was discovered the
MahomedaMs lay in ambush for De
Gama's sailors or sent false pilots to
steer their ships into dangerous
places.
Accordingly they sailed away. and
on May II. 1893. vasco De Cana pur-
suing the course that had been indi-
Gated to him and which for ever two
centuries all subsequent navigators
have followed, cast his anchors in view
OF the south coast of India of the city
Of Calicut. The rajahs Of India were.
however, so rich and powerful and so
highly civilized at that time that they
regarded De Cana and his Portuguese
caravels in much the same light as
the Chief of Police of q Western city
would now regard an invasion of East
ern tramps. They would not allow
any one to approach their courts who
could not bring presents proportloned

Of the parsonage to whom they were
offered. De Cana possessed nothing;
was unable to speak the language, to
enter into the religious spirit or to
understand the customs Of India.
So after for endeavoring for five
months in vain to gain a footing In
India he set sail for Portugal and in
formed the King that he had solemnly
taken possession of India in the name
of the King of Portugal.
Titles, money, power, the homage of
the Portuguese and the admiration of
Europe and of the world have reward
ed Vasco De Cana for the fatigues and
the adventures Of his historic voyage,
the quadri-centennial Of which will be
celebrated on May II. Thus a world
was won first for the Portuguese. who
later were driven out by the French
and who in turn gave way to the Eng
lish, and who since Clive's time have
held tight grip upon India and con-
fined to a single nation the immense
wealth and advantages which mankind
would otherwise derive from the en-
terprise and adventures Of De Cana.

The celebrated French cave hunter,
M. Martel, has explored natural pit

and made there most remarkable
discovery. After descending vertical

The truth of the adage about con.

strikingly illustrated in the fact that
the Niagara river has been 10000
years cutting Its channel 200 feet
deep, 1000 feet wide and seven miles
long, through solid rock. Evidence
is conclusive that the falls were form

A Tombstone Problem.

A man who went away from home
some time ago to attend a convention
of church people was struck with the
beauty Of the little town In which the
gathering was held. He had plenty of
time. and while wandering about
walked into the village cemetery. It
was a beautiful place, and the delegate
walked around among the graves. He
saw monument, one of the largest
in the cemetery, and read with sur
prise the inscription on It:
"a Lawyer and an Honest Man."
The delegate scratched his head and
looked at the monument again. He
read the inscription over and over.
Then he walked all around the monu-
ment and examined the grave closely.
Another man in the cemetery ap-
preached and asked him:
Have you found the grave of an
old friend?"
NO." said the delegate. "but I was
wondering how they came to bury
those two fellows in one grave"

DEATHS OF WELL-KNOWN MEN
Jacob Hildebrand, a Pioneer Hard
ware Merchant.

The death of Jacob S. Hildebrand, who
was for many years engaged in the hard

lao o'clock yesterday morning at the home
of his daughter, Madison avenue and Gar
den street. He was seventy-1ve years Of
age. He was born in Pennsylvania and
came to Indianapolis in 1854 A year after
coming here he became associated in the
hardware business with John H. Vajen as
clerk. In 1860 he became a partner in the
business, and in 1870 bought out Mr.. Va
jen's interest. He then went into business
with James l.. Fugate. Mr.. Hildebrand
was injured by the elevator in the store
some time ago, but was recovering from
this accident. 1t is thought his death was

the church at the time of his death. The

children survive him-Clayton S. and Philip

$50 days for petit larceny. They were sent
to the workhouse last July4 When discov-
cred they had sawed off a bar in the cell
house and made an opening large enough to

Gaping into the corridor they went to the

by one Of the matrons, who heard the noise
and gave the alarm. The night Waterman,

COUNCIL COMMITTEES.
Four Meetings of Statesmen from the
Wards Last Evening.


Wards Last Evening.
Four Council committees met last night
The committee on contracts and franchises
met to consider Councilman Little's ordi-
nance reducing 10 per cent. the rates of the
Indianapolis Water Company. ALI of the
committee except Mr. Little and Mr.. Mad
den. who was absent, voted to refer the
ordinance to the Board of Public Works,
this in defiance of letter from John w.
Kern, city attorney, to Mr.. Little, which
stated that there is no legal objection to
the ordinance passing the Council. Mr.. Lit
tie said after the committee meeting that
it was question in his mind whether it
were possible for the people to get proper
representation. The ordinance had been
pronounced by the city attorney to be ready
to pass the Council, the people demanded
the measure as much as they demanded the
gas ordinance and the franchise for the
New Telephone Company, and yet the COM
mittee turned it back. Mr.. Little will make
night, setting out the specifications of the
city charter in the matter and the opinion
of the city attorney, and will endeavor to
make it clear case that his ordinance
should pass. He says he is not able to
state why the majority Of the committee
ruled as it did last night.
The committee on elections deferred action
until Monday night, when. the Council
meets, for the reason that the Republican
membe Mr.. BoWSer, was not ready to
make known his selection of the judges and
inspectors for the election of school COM
missioners. The election will be held June
g. The committee will meet again just be-
fore the session of the Council Monday.
The committee on streets and alleys de-
cided favorably to the petition of the prop
erty owners Of Andrews street to name it
Dewey avenue. 1t also decided to report
favorably on the ordinance requiring the
Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton and Penn
sylvania railroads to lower their tracks
twenty-four inches at the Southeastern
avenue crossing.
The committee on ordinances will report
that the Council has nothing to do with the
complaint of the people of North Alabama
street that the street cars run at unsafe
speed, and will refer them to the police de-
partment, as an ordinance regulating the
speed of street cars is established.

Zion, of the railway company, that the

that it would not in the future be necessa ry

1T PROVES A MURDER.
Wesley Beckham Dies-Torbett Held
without Bail.

John L. Torbett, who shot Wesley Beck
ham last Sunday and who was out on bond,
was locked up yesterday at police headquar-
tiers and held without bond, Beckham hav-
ing died yesterday morning at 2 o'clock at
the City Hospital. Beckham remained con-
scious to the last, but did not give any def
mite information regarding the shooting.
Torbett kept out of the reach of the police
for two days after the shooting and then ar
ranged to surrender, with John r. Pearson
as his bondsman. When Beckham died it
made it necessary that he be held without
bail until he is given a preliminary hearing.
The police believe Torbett acted in elf-de-
Tense and that he will be able to show this
