NOT AFRAID OF MICE.
Typewriter in New York Works
Daily with One Percbed on
Her Machine.

Not all women are afraid Of mice.
One of them who is not is a typewri; o.
In downtown Office and a.pet mouse Is
her constant companion when she is at
her work. He is a neat, trim, well-fed
little fellow, who sits atop of her ma
chine in the ounningest way, seeming
to enjoy the click OF the keys and par
ticularly the clang of the bell, says a
New York correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Times.
The young lady says that by some
means the Office boy fastened the mouse
up in the machine one night and that
sho found it there the next morning
perched on the roller, frightened and
hungry. She gave him a bit of the
cheese that she had brought for her
luncheon and made the little fellow un-
derstand that she was good friends
with him. So from that day TO this he
has slept in the machine every night
and seems now TO know and TO want no
other home.
So attached has the young lady be-
come to her queer little pet that she
says he Is her mascot and that she
would not know how to type her notes
without the bright little companion
who has been with her so long.

HIGH PRICED WHEAT
AT THE CLOSE OF THE MARKET
IT REACHED SLY PER BUsHEL.

i
Commercial and shipping men were
excited yesterday over the increase in
che price OF wheat. and the prospects OF
its going still higher AT the close OF
the selling on Tuesday the price asked
was 81 .13 per bushel, while, at the close
of yesterday, the figure was SLY, the
highest for a long time. The principal
causes for the big advance was the IN
formation scattered broadcast that the
Russian Government had promulgated
a notice prohibiting the exporting OF
cereals, and that France had issued
notice stating that the import duty on
grain had been Withdrawn, at least un-
tin June l. Besides this there were large
demands from different countries for
shipments.
With these things in their favor, the
bulls had entire control Of the market.
The market closed with the prices ask
ed for wheat being $117. The floor Of
the Commercial Exchange was crowded
during the day and the excitement at
intervals was more intense than for
many years. The information received
there from Chicago was to the effect
that the price for May option had in
creased as much as cents a bushel at
While the price was advancing so
rapidly members were wondering as to
the amount xof stock that Letter had.
Everything was going his way, and
yesterday was the greatest field day for
him since he entered the wheat pit.
A rough calculation made showed that
"the young Napoleon of the wheat mar
ket" was about $i,500000 richer at the
close OF the market than at the begin
ming of the day. AS It is expected that
the price will go still higher his profits
will be prOpOrtionately increased.

A CURIOUS AIIAsIlAN IlAKE.

The rich placers of the Klondlke are
not the only curiosities of the country
through which the Yukon runs, accord
ing TO the Revue Franchise de
llEtranger, (Paris), which tells us:
There is in Alaska, not far from
Dawson City, a truly extraordinary
lake, to which has been given the
name OF Salawik by its discOverer,
Father TOsti. a missionary to the In
dians OF Alaska. This lake, which ia
sixty miles broad, is, perhaps, the only
one in the extreme North which does
not freeze in Winter. II Is not known
to have any communication with the
sea, and yet when the tide rises on the
shore OF the Arctic ocean the water
rises in the lake, and lowers as soon
as the tide in the ocean falls.
This sympathy with the sea, how
ever, does not go so far as to make the
water OF Lake Salawik salty. On the
contrary, its water Is excellent for
drinking. Another astonishing pecu-
siarity OF the lake is that it's tempera-
ture rises in Winter and falls in Sum
mer. Thus. when all the water
courses in its neighborhood are frozen
solid, the water OF the lake becomes
so warm that II is really pleasant to
battle in Il. On the contrary, in Sum
er its water is so cold that it chills
you.
'This peculiarlty causes the lake to
be in Winter the Mecca Of the tribe
OF fishes who travel thither from all
the water-courses which empty into it,.
The number Of fish is so great that you
can catch them with your hands and
kiln a considerable quantity Of them

miners a considerable supply Of pro-
visions. on which they had not count

THE STREETS OF ANCIENT ATH-
ENC

It has been said that the streets OF
Athens, when the city was the centre
OF attraction OF the intellectual world,
resembled those of Bulgarian and Tur-
kish towns by their narrowness and
irregularity. says the London Archi-
tect. Strangers, when they first walked
along them, used to be in doubt
whether they could have arrived in so
famous city. Owing to the labors OF
the members OF the German Archeo-
logical Institute II has become certain
that Athens POSSESSED one street at
least which was tolerably wide It was
laid out between the Dipylon at the
wall on the northwest and the Agora
and was, therefore, north OF the The
scion. The width Of the roadway was
about 10 meters, or 33 feet. As the
Greeks, with all their ability, had
not Macadam's shrewdness. the an
cient street was made up Of layers ot
earth, which required repairs constant
~. One reason for the exceptional
breadth was that originally a brool
ran along one side and when it was
covered over the additional space wa
allowed to increase the road.-Scien

Monitors of 'O1.

Curious pan-cakey-lool1ing vessels
were the ironclads that bombarded
Charleston in the late unpleasantness.
That bombardment was regarded as
something unspeakably dreadful in its
day. The monitors that performed it
are now being put in shape at League
island, near Philadelphia, TO assist the
new monitors in making Spain's feet
disappear. There are six big turreted
monitors in the American navy, any
one of which naval experts declare able
TO give a terrific battle to any two of
Spain's warships. Many naval officers
have more faith in these than in any
other defense that the United States
has.

WOMEN ON THE STREETS
CHARGES FILED AGAINST POLICE
SERGEANT JOHN LOWE
Grow Ont of Recent Orders of the SUI
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Newing-
ham the Complainant.

The police have been ordered by the SUI
perintendent to clear the streets of women
who prowl about late at night. and out of
this attempt have grown charges which
were filed against Sergeant John Lowe yes
terday afternoon with the clerk of the
Board of Public Safety. The charges have
been brought by Clayton Nottingham,
through his attorney, F. W. Branthoover.
The affidavit is as follows:
81, Clayton Newingham, a citizen and a
resident OF the city of Indianapolis upon my
oath depose and say that on June rs, 1898,
ana at divers times and places previous
thereto Sergeant John Lowe came to my
private residence, 81 West Washington
street. and by use of vile epithets threat
ened my wife and hired girl with arrest
without any provocation on their part, and
he further claimed to them that they were
neither respectable women and they were
running brothel, and in so doing used
vile, obscene and indecent language. He
said also to my wife that she was not a
married woman and would not be permitted
on the streets of the city after dark, neither
would he permit her to go out riding, no
matter whether she were accompanied by
her husband or alone. Said Lowe has three
times stopped my wife while she was on the
street doing the necessary shopping. etc.
pertaining to her household and insulted
her IN a loud and bosterous manner as well
as shaking his fist in her face in the pres
ence of large number of persons, and
ordered her to 80 to her home Immediately
or he would arrest her. thereby casting dis
grace and shame upon her. all of which was
without just propagation whatever on the
part of my wife,
The board will meet this morning to con-
slider bills and it is probable the charges
against Sergeant Lowe will be referred to
Superintendent Quigley for investigation.
Sergeant Lowe, when asked last night for
his side of the case, said: 81 have seen
these two women on the street several
times within the last week late at night.
One night l. with the patrolmen, met the
TWO women at l o'clock. 1 stopped them
and asked them what they were doing on
the street at that time. Just then Attorney
Branthoover and another young man
stepped up. and the latter said one of the
women was his wife and they had been out
to get something to eat. Sunday night I
met the two women at II 80 o'clock stand
ing In front of a saloon on West Washing
ton street talking to gang of men, I
told them to go home, that the street was
no place for them at that time of night
Ihen the young man who claims to be her
husband came up again and began to quar-
rel with me. paid no attention to him. I
nave entered the house mentioned as ii is
our custom to enter all those places on West
washington street. The young man told me
ne knew the character of the place he was
IN and hoped the people would move out
soon Both of the women used the most in
sultlng language to me when l talked to
them L did not swear at them"

given at the home of D. NJ Parry, at Della
ware and Thirteenth streets, tomorrow
night are progressing satisfactorily and the
indications point to the realization of
large sum for the benefit of the sick Indiana
soldiers at chickamausa. The object of the
fete is to raise fund for the purchase of
medicinal supplies for the soldiers who may
be in need OF them while away from the
care of their own friends and relatives The
incentive for the movement was given by
call for such supplies made recently by Col
Harry Il. Smith, of the One-hundred-and

Spouse from the people of Indianapolis a
