LESSONS OF TRAGEDY.
Prof. $. III. CIarlx's First Lecture in
University Extension Course.

Prof. S. III. Clark, of the University of
Chicago, last night delivered a lecture at
High School Hall to about two hundred
people. This was the first of q series of
talks which Professor Clark will give on
the subjece of Tragedy" He is a polished
speaker. and his lecture last night was very
entertaining and instructive. Professor
Clark spoke of the natural desire on the
part of a large majority of people to avoid
tragedy. He referred to the lawyer. the
doctor. the clerk and the stenographer. who
go to their homes at night after busy day
with the world They do not care to read of
tragedy or see it portrayed on the stage
They have it in everyday life, and they seek
something that is light and cheerful Ac-
cording to the lecturers view. man is nat
urally an optimist. and he is inclined to
look at things in cheerful light. Thus he
is apt to put off all matters that are seri-
Gus or weighty or that border on the tragic.
A favorite text with the speaker was TINS
sentence: TO repel ones cross is to make
IL neavler; lie thought people should live
SO that when tragedy comes into their lives
they may meet it. brayely. To many it
should come as a consolation. The lecturer
spoke OF the tragedy which characterized
the life of Christ. His life should teach
US that tragedy is blessing. Professor
clark spoke of the writer's of tragedy-those
who have written great things. They wrote
tragedy because that was the only way peo-
pie might benefit by their superb talents
Ihey were particularly fitted to write this
class of literature. The lecturer referred to
the tragedy of 'Pess," the unfortunat tie
woman of Thomas Hardy's creation. The
ly save Tess, replied: II couldn't save
her. He meant that he could not save her
ana make clear the great lesson that he in
tended to teach-the terrible influences Of
passion.

After the Indianapolis News went to press
yesterday afternoon luncheon was served
in the editorial rooms to speed the parting
member of the staff-Mr. Howard McCor-
mick, who has been the artist of the paper
for several years and who leaves for New
York to-day to pursue advanced study in
his line of work. When the professors
gathered about the tables Mr. Mccormick
was led out of the etching room by Mr..
George F'rink, who is his successor, and was
given the seat of honor. Mr.. Mccormick $
work has been commended as that of a high
degree of excellence. He has been the de-
Signer of the covers of the May music fes-
tival programme for several years. He has
made many friends among the newspaper
workers and in the city generally Mr..
George Frink. who takes Mr.. Mccormick S
place, has been drawing for newspapers for
several years. Lately he has been connected
with the Chicago, Record and he left that
paper for the indianapolis News because
this city is his home.

Democrat. and school FUNDS.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Recent developments indicate that the
Democratic party of Indiana is constantly
increasing it's capacity for school-fund rob-
berry on an iramensity of standing capital
inherited from progenitors whom it
worthily represents and resembles in
its adroit, cunning and INSCRIPTIONS
methods of public plumber. Let me
recall some of it's rapacity at an earlier
period, when the enticng influences of the
school funds produced an unbroken series
of defalcations, populations and abuses, COM
mencing with the stealing of the congress
sional school land donations, back in the
fifties. when 1900 600 acres, valued at 50 ,0OO,-
900 were stolen On the file in the States
archives are the resports of the secretary
Of state as witness to the theft of s2,0 900
of swamp lands intended for the school
fund, which land had been donated to the
State by the general government. Court
docketS will prove the dismissal OF the
prosecution of Jacob Merkle, Democrat
of Jasper county. for stealing $4,000 OF
school funds and there was no recovery.
The balance sheets Of the state treasurer
of 1857 show the Swindling of the State out
OF $4,000 by the reprinting of old. worthless
receipts in the auditor Of states office show
the robbery by Democratic state print
of 1871. How much of this was paid out of
the school fund cannot be learned.
The sale Of the Georgia lands is an inter-
esting bit of history for this generation.
The State got this land about 1850 In a
settlement of the assets of some bankrupt
creditors. 1t was an immense tract of land,
100000 acres. and worth at least 81 per acre.
1t was heavily timbered, and on 1t at the
time of sale were eight or ten sawmills.
The Democratic agent of the State sold 1t
for less than one-tenth of cent an acre
to a Democratic named Martin r. Green.
The Democratic Legislature of 1851 ratified
the fraud and the State lost 100000 by 1t.
The achievements of the Democratic audi
tor of Marion county in loaning the school
funds on land already mortgaged and not
released. and on defective titles, and on
lots of less value than the loan called for
are evidence Of the peculiar methods of these
reformers. Mr.. johnson, the deputy auditor
of Mr.. Taggart, is the recognized official
and political brains of Mr.. Taggart, and is
the Democratic candidate for auditor. The
record speaks for itself. The figures are
not uncertain. every impartial reader who
carefully considers the testimony will find
guilt in each and every turn to dodge the
issue. ..

The remorse of guilty stomach is what
very large majority of the people of this
nation are suffering with to-day 1t is q
well known fact that dyspepsia is charac-
terlstic American disease and il is frequently
stated that we are nation of dyspeptics"
1t is distressing aiment and because of
Its many forms is difficult to treat Some
times it is the result of improper modes
of eating, improper food or mental worry
and exhaustion; then again it may be sort of

ment should be directed to the restoration Of
the health, without special attention 10 the
stomach. In other instances, the disease is
evidently the result of inflammation of the
stomach.
Anyone Of these conditions produce lack
of vitality in the system, by causing the
blood to lose its life-sustaining elements The
blood is the vital element in our lives and
should be carefully nurtured. Restore the
blood to its proper condition, dyspepsia will
vanish and perfect health follow.

North Dakota, few miles from Walhalla.

MRS. MATCHED NOT DEAD
DIVORCED WIFE OF A MAN WHOM
SUPREME COURT FLAYED.
Her Suit to Have Decree of Separation
Set Aside-He Married
Again.

Thursday the Supreme Court of Indiana
handed down a decision affecting Henry D.
Matched, a weli-known Frankfort man, and
his divorced wife The case grew out of
the separation of Matched and his wife in
1885, when, 1t is alleged. the woman signed
an agreement that she would not resist an
action for divorce which her husband pro-
posed to bring. According to the agreement
the Wife was to receive $1,000 alimony. This
money, it seems, was to be collected from
the husband for the benefit of his wife's
daughter by former marriage. Afterward
Matched sought to reduce the amount by
charging certain items which, 1t was
claimed, were not applied to the mainte-
nance of the daughter. The case reached
the Supreme Court, and the decision Thurs
day was against Matched. In the newspa-
per accounts of the case yesterday 1t was
stated that Mrs. Matched, after the sepa-
ration took place, was sent to the Hospital
for the Insane in this city and died there.
Mrs. Matched is not dead, and aside from
mental troubles, with which she has been
afflicted for several years, is in vigorous
health She lives with her daughter, at 722
North Senate avenue, this city. Mrs.
Matched is now preparing to appear in
court against her husband in an action to
ton county in 1896 set ASIDE. Her attorney,
Thomas Hanna, brought the suit at Frank
fort some time ago, and at the request of
the defendant the case was venued to Ham
ilton county, where 1t is now pending. The
court is asked to set aside the divorce on
the ground that Mrs. Matched was insane
at the time it was granted. Matched, since
the granting of the divorce, has married,
and is now living with his second wife at
Frankfort. In the event that the decree is
set aside, 1t is minated that further pros
ecution will be brought against him.
Mrs Matched is a fine-looking woman of
about thirty-eight. Her daughter is
eighteen. Mother and daughter came down
town yesterday to see Attorney Hanna, and
Mrs. Matched. although she is said to be
mentally unbalanced, talked with the attor-
ney in perfectly rational manner of her
troubles. She realizes that her mind is sup
posed to be clouded. She is gradually get
ting better however. and it is believed that
her recovery is only matter of a few
months. During the year 1895 she spent
several months in the Hospital for the In
sane. She says she was taken away from
there by her husband, who accompanied her
to Asheville. N. c.. where she remained
short time. From there she went to Penn
sylvania. An officer of the court went to
Pennsylvania to serve notice on her when
the proceedings for divorce were brought.
This officer, 1t is said, stated on mis- return
that she acted like crazy woman when
he read the summons to her. This fact will
be used by Mrs. Natched's attorney in urg-
Ing the court to set aside the divorce. Mrs.
Matched says she does not remember sign
ing the agreement which her husband pre-
sented to her in 1895. John G.. Clark, of
FRANKFORT, IS the woman's guardian

The officers of the Major Taylor Bicycle
Club think Mrs. S. A. Colman has been done
an injustice by the references of the board
of the Alpha Home for Aged Colored
Women to an entertainment recently given
at Mrs. Colmans for the home. They say
she first obtained permission from the presi-
dent of the board, Mrs H. A. Webb, to give
the entertainment, which was duly an
nounced in the colored churches. Printed
advertisements were sent the board of man
ayers. The proceeds fell short of expecta-
tions, only 81 being Melted, but this was
turned over to the home. The club members
had before given $3.05 to the same charity
