HORSE WITH DIPHTHERIA.
First Case Apparently on Record Is
from Indiana.

The first case of ''horse diphtheria" ever
on record in this or any other country was
unearthed yesterday by DIR. J. N. Hurry, of
the State Board of Health. w. d. Steward,
of W hitestown, this county, has a horse
which became sick a. few weeks ago, and a
veterinarian who was called in found that
a membrane nad grown in the animals
throat to such an extent that it protruded
through his nostriis Such growth had
never before been met in the experience Of
the veterinarian, and he promptly took a
sample of it for culture to the State
Board of Health. This was done by placing
1t inside glass tube, Theoretically sealed,
in which a blood serum had been placed to
help along the growth of the bacill. AS
soon as it reached the Office of the State
Board of Health it was seen that the MEM
brane showed every sign of liberia in its
appearance and growth, but DR.. Hurry was
nonplussed, because such a thing had
never been heard of before In short time
the culture developed pus organisms be-
side those of diphtheria, and when the ma
ture of the membrane became known to a
certainty the result was made known to the
veterinarian, who began to treat the suffer-
ing horse for diphtheria. much after the
method pursued with human beings, and is
proud of the fact that he is the first vet
erinarian who ever treated a like case.

THE CHRIST CHURCH CHIMES.
A Little More Cheerful Nowadays,
Says the Guardian Angel.

well, sir" remarked the Guardian Angel
of Christ Church last night, Il am feeling
pretty fine. A year ago / did feel little as
though l were going to the demolition bow
vows but l took the don't-worry cure, and
here L stand just as stanch as an apple tree
in June, while my poor neighbor next door,
the Columbia Club building, seems all torn
I'D over things. True. / feel a ringing in
my head, a touch of the grip perhaps,
Or"
And here the ringing was quite apparent,
sound waves beating down on Monument
place and reverberating around the incased
circle till the rareded atmosphere was sur
charged with the singing noise that followed
the initial sounds The chimes of Christ
Church were ringing in new year, welcom-
ing il with lustiness that left little re-
spect for the lately deceased a. u. ninety
eight. .,,-. .,-r,.,. -
sentimental things about me, !" the Guardian
Angel went on. Writing about me as II L
were the last rose Of summer or the sere
and yellow leaf, or some other botanical
specimen ready for the ash heap. What $
the use? That's the sort Of stuff to sing to
sentimental school girls or Verdant youths
who grow tired of the world after their nrst
rebuff in a love affair Why, / am not old.
What If I am gray-I was born that way;
and these withered ivy leaves that you see
that's my last summer gown. and I'll have
a new green one early next summer Come
around some day and hear me sing bridal
song and then dare to remark that am
growing old. That one cracked note, my
upper c, is no evidence that my voice IS
falling Some tunes, you know can be sung
without a high c, and I do very well with
them I used to dread these New Year 5
ewes, for I don't think any artistic church
chimes should be required to do chorus work
with a ribald lot of fire bells and steam
whistles but my professor down in the loft
below says that art for arts sake doesn'
count on New Years eve. Besides ] get a
chance TO do little solo work, and I hope
may never live to see the day when a steam
whistle or a fire bell can learn to play Old
Hundred America or others of my roper
TORE Why don't 1 sing any other tunes
but this half dozen or so? Well, the pro-
lessor seems to think know enough, and
suppose he is about the only professor in
these parts that knows anything about my
voice"
And to show what she could do the
Guardian Angel began one of her, stirring
songs her voice being heard clearly above
the humnling din of the whistles. Presently
her voice ceased and the humming noise
went on You see, or rather you hear

TROLIC OF TIE EIKs.
They Celebrated the Incoming of the
Year 1899.


Year 1899.
The annual frolic Of indianapolis Lodge.
No 10, B. p. O. r.. at Elks' Hall, on North
Meridian street, was one of the most sue
cessful New Years entertainments the order
has ever held in this city. Besides the efforts
of local members of the order members of
the professional theatrical organizations
playing here lent their talents to the enjoy
ment Of the evening. In the early part of
the night the Elks assembled in the hall and
passed the time in an informal Smoker, ;"
souvenir pipes with a liberal supply of the
weed being provided. Exalted Ruler Feibel-
man was routed from his seat and his place
taken by F. J. Ryan, who made a
successful chairman, filming everybody in
sight, either for doing certain things or not
doing them in the customary manner of the
Elks. There was pretty ceremony at mid
night While church bells outside were
Ginning the midnight hour a brother inside
struck the gong, and at the last stroke
Marshal james r. Quigley pulled a cord
that was connected with two large flags
hanging behind the chairman's seat. AS
the flags rolled back a card was seen, in
Glory-Good-bye to Spain" The cheer that
arose was drowned in the strains of the
''Star-spangled Banner" BY an orchestra.
and the audience joined in the patriotic
Song.
Later in the evening there were solos by
Messrs. William BrOderick, Lloyd Rand,
Harry Brown and Jack Walsh of the Bos-
torians, recitations by Mr.. Bradford. of
the Grand stock company, and an entertain
ing exhibition of dancing by Mr. Bundy Of
the team of Bundy and Hayes performing at
buffet lunch was served, and the large crowd
was served with punch.
