Capt. Wallace Foster, of Indianapolis,
we'll known in this and other States for his
efforts to encourage the systematic teach
ing of the principles Of American citizenship
to the youth of the country has issued a
revised and enlarged edition Of his Patriot
ic Primer" Mr.. Fosters work is no longer
experimental. His little book has received
the approval and Endorsement of several
state superintendent of public instruction
and many teachers, and is already in use
in a number of States. 1T is really a valu-
able compilation, and might well be in every
school and household. 1t contains as it's
first chapter series of primer" questions
and answers teaching the child the charac-
ter of our government the nature OF citi-
ZenShip and why our country should be
loved. Another chapter covers the history
of the countrys flag. One of the most adj
mirabe features is the collection of patriot
ic songs, with both words and Inusic-the
rarity of such COLLECTIONS, perhaps, account
ing for the general lack of familiarity with
these songs. Then follow quotations from
Washington and Lincoln, including the lat
ter's Gettysburg address; number of pa
triotic poems, inspiring quotations and brief
extracts from patriotic addresses a list of
important anniversaries and notable events
in the couutrys history and a brief biogra-
ply with portrait, of each of the Presi-
dents of the United States. Some pages of
useful statistical information complete the
little volume, which Is we'll conceived and
likely to fll a want, and which is a labor
of love on the part of its author

WON BY MISS CLAW.
Result of the Third Days Race at
TOmIinson Hall.

The dizzy little saucer-shaped track at
Tomlnson Hall was the resting place Of
nearly three thousand pairs of eyes last
night when the pistol shot which started the
five sturdy women riders was sounded and
the whirling of the wheels and the shouting
of the crowd told that the. third nights
fight in the six-day race was on. Merrily
the riders made the circuit Of the track, all
riding uniform speed for a considerable
portion of the night. Miss Peterson came
up strong for the race, and the little French
woman inspired the spectators with the be-
lief that she was still in the race; but both
these riders found the pace too hot for them
before the evenings ride was over, and
again fell behind the trio of pacemakers,
CLAW, Anderson and Wagner.
Miss CLAW did most of the sprinting and
most of the pacemaking. Anderson and
Wagner went to the front by turns, but the
"Kaisarina" seemed to be able, at her
pleasure, to pass them and take the lead
Wagner made some fine sprints, and re-
ceiVed lusty applause She is prime IA
vorite. with the spectators, and rides with
an ease and grace that is seldom seen at
such pace. Anderson was content most of
the time to follow the "Kaisarina" AT the
finish when the crack of the pistol told the
riders they had only four more laps to go
Peterson and Feiring had already dropped
out and Wagner was leading, with CLAW
second and Anderson third. CLAW COM
PEELED the others to give the best exhibition
of riding that has been seen during the
race. The three were each anxious to fin
ish first. CLAW put her head down over her
handle bars and started out to pass the
leader. She was closely followed by Ander
son, and they made the circuit of the track
in less than five seconds. Wagner was
passed, and then began the fight between
the two rivals CLAW won by a wheel
length. Wagner was left quarter of lap
behind. The score for the night was as fol-
lows:
Glaw--31 miles, 10 laps.
Anderson-31 miles, Is laps
Wagner-31 miles, Is laps.
Feiring-30 miles, laps,
Peterson--26 miles Is laps.
The total score for the three evenings is
as follows:
Glaw-96 miles
.Anderson-96 miles.
Wagner-96 miles.
Feiring-90 miles, II laps.
Peterson-79 miles, IA laps.

state Librnry BulIetins.

w. r. Henry, state librarian is doing
work intended to make the state library
more useful to both state officials and the
public at large. A series of bulletins or
catalogues showing all the works in the
library on a given subject are being issued.
For some time past Mr.. Henry and his
assistants have been hunting up all works
on the subject of taxation. Yesterday he
was distributing the first catalogue en-
titled photography of Works on Taxation
in the Indiana State Library among the
state officials, all of whom expressed sur
prise at the thoroughness with which it
had been prepared.
Superintendent of Public instruction D.
NJ Geeting expressed the opinion that this
work of Mr. Henry will prove valuable to
state officials who have occasion TO con-
suit authorities on any subject, Further
bulletins showing what the library con-
tains on such subjects as insurance, agri-
culture education, prisons and reforma-
tories and such subjects of general inter
est, Will be issued as rapidly as possible.
I'VE have sometimes found 1t necessary
to consume much time looking up author
tiles for patrons of the library" said Mr..
Henry. THE bulletins will simplify this
work and enable us at a moments notice
to deliver the authorities on any subject of
general state interest OF course we cannot
cover all topics in which the general public
use OF the public the library is really main
tanned for the benefit of the State and spe-
cial attention should be given to making
IL useful to those who have occasion TO

fectly on taxation. Works that deal more
particularly with tariff and internal reve-
nue. have not been included

The trouble between Center Lodge and
the Grand Lodge Of Odd Fellows has been

new building at once. The agreement was

Grand Lodge for the $l1 200, less $500 in
cash and $3.50 for. rent The note is made
payable in five years and draws interest at
per cent. The disagreement between the
two lodges began when the construction of
a new Odd Fellows building was proposed

COURTHOUSE BASEMENT
FILTHY CONDITION OF THE CORRI-
DOR CAUSES COMMENT.
Custodian NewIand Short of Help
Action of Board of Works Yester-
day-TeIephone Specifications.

People who have business which takes
them to the city offices in the basement of
the courthouse are commenting upon the
filthy condition of the corridor. Some
months ago the custodian concluded to
clean up and the place actually changed
color by the removal of the dirt. The floor
of the corridor was scrubbed and the pub
lie became aware of the fact that there
had been tile floor under the dirt all
these years. Even the walls were wiped
down, and the really beautiful tints and
fancy designs became visible. y
But that was months ago. Now the place
is fast resuming its old condition. The
floors look as if they were not even swept
and the CRIME is again settling on the walls.
Every day a ianitor carries mop about
and smears the tobacco spit around which
has been deposited in the neighborhood of
the cuspidor. This seems to answer for
scrubbing the floors. Waste paper and 9TH
er waste articles, which the visitors to the
place drop on the floor, are allowed to ac-
cumulate and be blown and. brushed into
corners. A visitor entering the Delaware
street door yesterday might have thought
from the general appearance Of neg
lect. the place had been aban-
dQned as the abode of the citys
Offices The fine white glazed tile
walls which were recently put in the en-
trance are turning black with dirt. These
walls were constructed to reflect all the
light into the basement that is possible, but
the dirt is contravening the object. Loung~
ers have seen fit to write their names or
initials in the dust and CRIME covering the
walls and there is a long list of names OF
long standing. Some were made shortly ar
ter the new walls were, put in, and the
clouds of dust have almost obliterated
them-lke second fall of snow upon foot
prints already made. But in ghis case 1t is
a black and very distasteful snow. Gus
todian Abner Newland shows he cannot
be held entirely to blame for the condition
of affairs He has only two assistants and
it is impossible for the force to care for
all the Office rooms properly and give the
corridor much attention.

The Board of Works yesterday entered
into an agreement with property owners
along Massachusetts avenue, from Hillside
avenue to Rural street, to rescind all form
er action on a resolution for paving the
south sidewalk with brick. The petition
called for brick sidewalk, but a large
number of property owners decided in a
meeting held few days ago that they
would prefer to pay for cement. 1t is there
fore the intention of the board to adopt a
new resolution of this kind.
The board also rescinded action on reso-
luton for a wooden block pavement on Fiji
teenth street, from Delaware street to Cen
trail avenue. This is done at the request of
some of the property owners who want
asphalt. 1t was represented to the board
that the sentiment In favor of asphalt was
almost unanimous and a resolution for
asphalt will be adopted. Fifteenth street
is to be paved from Senate avenue to Col
lege avenue in three sections. All were to
be paved with blocks Owing to the offsets
in the street and the break in it from Illi-
nois street to Delaware the combination of
blocks and asphalt cannot be said to make
a patchwork street.

LA. w. CLUB SMOKER"
Guests Entertained in the New Club
house.

The first smoker of the Indianapolis l..
A. w. Club was had last night at the new
clubhouse on North Meridian street, and
proved to be a very successful affair. The
rooms were everywhere decorated with
royal purple and old gold draperies-the
club colors-and potted flowers occupied cor
ners and inches. About three hundred per-
sons attended the function. They were met
at the doors by President lockwood, of the
club, and Chairman Lacey, of the house
committee, and members of the reception
committee. Each visitor, whether men,
Der of the club or not, was decorated with
purple and gold ribbons and was then es
corted to an upper room, where a table was
covered with cob pipes and tobacco. 1t was
a smoker in the fullest and most literal
sense, for everybody pulled at his pipe and
filled the rooms with smoke and the aroma
of a good quality of tobacco which the
house committee was cautious enough to
supply.
The entertainment of the evening was fur
nished by the Tuxedon Trio, of New York,
composed of J. Ruskin Currier mandolin,
bandurria, topical songs and parodies; d.
Francis Ramseyer, sub-bass guitar and pop
ular ballads, and William H. Woolson, vio-
