CHILDREN'S DAY TUESDAY.
President Downing Says There Is No
Desire to Exhibit Soldiers.

The State Board Of Agriculture, following
its usual custom, has made Tuesday of the
state fair children's day. The old soldiers,
too, will be admitted on this day without
charge. Children must be properly accom-
panied by parents or guardians. No other
especial days have been named, but the
general desire of the board is that Wednes-
day be observed as Indianapolis day, espe-
cially when it comes to attending the even
ing performance Of the naval spectacle
THE Battle of Manila" The race pro-
gramme for children's day will be equal in
interest to the cards of the other days Of
the week
The florists OF the city and surrounding
towns have taken an unusual interest in
the horticultural display. On Thursday
there will be big display of cut flowers
in horticultural hall. On Wednesday, as
well as Thursday, there will be prize con-
tests in this department. All exhibits in all
Sept. II.
Charles Downing, president of the State
Board of Agriculture, said, yesterday, that
board, when the fair grounds were offered
for the volunteer soldiers, to have the
troops placed on exhibition as an attraction
for the fair, as some have seemed to think
was the idea. If the commanders of the
regiments so desire, Mr.. Downing said, their
camp may De cnI1rely Isolated, so tnaL VS.
itors to the fair cannot get into the camp.
A guard line could be thrown out beyond
which no one would be allowed to 60.
Camping in the northeast part of the
grounds, it would be easy for friends of the
soldiers to visit them by entering from the
east side of the grounds, instead Of enter
ing at the entrance gates and paying the
admission fee. If this were permitted, it
would, of course, be necessary for the SOL
camp from crossing the guard line down
into the fair grounds. Soldiers, in uniform,
will, at all times, be welcomed to the fair

WORK OF THE MATRONS.
Busy Month in the Woman's Depart
ment at Police Station.

August was the busiest month in the his
tory of the women's department of the po-
lice station. One hundred and forty-three
women were arrested and taken care of by
Matrons Gregoire and Reisener, of which
number fifty-nine were under twenty years
of age. There were ten lost children brought
in for shelter until their parents could be
found, and nine little boys, too young to
be placed among the men in the other Sec
tion Of the prison, were cared for. OF the
entire numbec LOG were white and fifty-six
colored.
Superintendent Quigley spoke very highly
last night of the present matrons, who have
been members of the department only since
March l. Since that time the work of the
police matron has been increased making
it necessary for two of them instead of one
who did the work for so long time. Now
every woman who is arrested is placed in
the care of one of the matrons, who is on
and locked up by the matron, and all as
sistance which il possible is given them.
Special attention and encouragement is paid
to the younger girls who are brought in,
kind words often accomplishing what force
will NOT. One of the matrons is always in
police court when any woman prisoner is
there Nice clean apartments, fitted with
bath and all modern improvements form the
living rooms of the matronS. The floors are
carpeted and pretty pictures adorn the
walls.

A. BRICK" IN THE RACE
NOVEL FEATURE OF THE THIR-
TEENTH DISTRICT CAMPAIGN.
Extensive Preparation for the Carr
thage Meeting-Chairman Hernly's
Visit to Northern Indiana.

The Republicans of Carthage are expect
ing to have big open-air meeting to-mor-
row afternoon and night. A number of In
dianapols Republicans will attend State
Chairman Hernly and several members Of
the committee will go from here Mr.
Hernly is to preside over the meeting At
the afternoon meeting J. Frank Hanly,
candidate for United States Senator, will be
the speaker. Mr.. Hanly in 1896 achieved
quite a reputation as an orator He is one
OF the most vigorous among the Indiana
campaigners, and the Republican state COM
mittee expects to call on him to do much
work this fall. His ideas are always clearly
presented in an eloquent manner that strs
an audience. While the meeting at Garth
age is not the formal opening Of the CAM
paign, 1t is expected 1t will be one of espe-
cial interest AT night James L. Watson,
candidate for Congress, another of the forci-
bic orators Of the State, will speak.
80 eager are the Republican candidates
for the campaign that they are not await
ing the formal opening of the fight, but are
already hard at work Yesterday State
Chairman Hernly returned from the north
ern part of the State. While away he was
in the Thirteenth district. Notwithstand-
ing the intense heat he found Abraham
Brick, candidate for Congress, "hustling'
Mr.. Brick has already held several meetings
at which the interest was most pronounced.
His friends are wearing novel badges to
show to whom their allegiance is pledged.
The badges are little red bricks with the
initial "A' on them, and are attached to
the coat lapels with red, white and blue
ribbon. The reading Of the badge, "A
Brick" is striking.
While away Mr.. Hernly also visited the
Tenth district, where he found as much in
terest as anywhere else. AT present the
state chairman is interested in the con-
gressional organization, and wherever he
goes he finds that Republican organizations
are on the boom and conditions in as good
or better shape than ever before, notwith-
standing that this is so-called off year.
Details for the formal opening of the cam
paign have not been completed. 1t will oc-
cur about the middle of the month. Gen.
eral Harrison is in the East busily engaged
with the Venezuelan matter, and will
hardly be home before October. When he
arrives it is understood he will take part in
the campaign. The chairman is relying on
Senator Fairbanks, Governor Mount, r. s..
Taylor, j. Frank Hanly and other prominent
Republicans to assist in the campaign. How
much time Mr.. Fairbanks can devote will
depend somewhat on his duties as chairman
of the international commission that is look
ing into the subject of an American-Cana-
dian treaty.

X. OF P. LODGE ADJ0URNS
FINALLY DECIDES TO MAKE THE
PER CAPITA TAX CENTS.
"Supremcrs" Also Vote Themselves
One More Days Pay for
Services.

Last night at o'clock the twentieth BIZ
ennial convention of the Supreme Lodge,
knights of Pythias adjourned sine die,
after one of the most memorable meetings
In the history of the order. From the first
DAY, when steps were taken to discover
who had given out information to the press
concerning the financial condition of the
supreme body, until the final adjournment,
the convention was marked by many bitter
episodes The insurgents were defeated at
many points, principally in the reelection
of the old officers, but in many other re-
spects they were successful, setting on foot
reforms and retrenchments which, they
claim, will be to the future good of the or
der, with it's 100000 members. BY noon to-
day most of the supreme officers will have
left for home. Supreme Keeper of Records
and Seal White and the official reporter of
the convention, Charles A Lee, of Rhode
Island. will remain for few days to clear
away the final work
On further consideration yesterday the
Supreme Lodge decided to make the per
capita tax cents instead Of cents as adj
vocated by many representatives the day
before. This will create revenue of about
$4,000 a year, and with the representative
tax and revenue from the sale of supplies
70 set the Supreme Lodge on a firm fnan-
cial basis again. paying the $4,000 that was
was necessary to borrow for the expenses
of the present convention.
The proposition to reduce the supreme
tribunal to three members lies over until the
next convention. Meantime that body re-
mains unchanged.
Much of the criticism of the insurgents
was directed against the finance commit
tee. consisting of Representatives Burns,
Fethers. Butterfield, Aldrich and Stratton.
The entire committee it was authoritative
ly stated last night will be reappointed,
with the exception of Representative Feth-
ers He was elected supreme vice chancel-
lor, and, consequently, cannot act on the
committee. It was said last night that
Representative L. B. Matthews, of Ken
lucky, would be appointed to succeed him.
The members of the finarce committee are
to be appointed by the supreme chancellor,
Il. B. Sample, of Pennsylvania. His deter
mination to reappoint the old committee is
in line of the vindication of the supreme
officers of the old administration, all OF
whom were reelected.
Yesterday evening the officers elected last
week were duly installed into oftice.
After sleeping over the question, the SUI
preme representatives decided that they
would not donate their services for an ex-
ira day to the convention. One OF the nrst
things done yesterday morning was to re-
consider this determination and to pass
resolution providing for the usual per diem.

BOTTLE BLOWERS WAGES.
Refuse to Increase the
Scale.

mo agreement as to new wage sched-
ule was reached by the committee repre-
senting the flint bottle manufacturers of the
United States and Canada and the wage
committee of the bottle blowers at the
meeting at the Bates House yesterday aft
erncon. The committee representing the
manufacturers refused to acceed to de-
mand for an increase in pay Each year it
is the custom for the bottle blowers and
manufacturers to formulate schedule. This
was done last fall for the year just ending.
The bottle blowers committee yesterday
agreed that the present schedule should
continue in force until Sept. 15. So far as
the manufacturers are concerned, however,
it was said that no further advances would
be made on their part They did not appear
to fear a strike. 1t was said that If the
bottle blowers insisted on their demands, at
least two more factories would become non
union. The committee of bottle blowers are
very close-mouthed and would not indicate
what action the determination of the manu-
facturers not to advance wages would have.
