VACATION SCHOOL.


The committee of women in charge of the
GUNNER vacation school, which was so sue
cessful last summer. has decided to begin
this years work next Monday morning, in
school building No. 5, at Washington and
California streets. Considerable hard work
has been done by the women connected
with the committee TO make the school pos
sfble this year. and the bulk OF the labor
has fallen on Mrs. Rappaport. chairman
Miss Haslep,> Mrs. c. Behymer, Mrs. ID. NJ
Parry and Mrs. Fannie lilly. The commit
tee has asked the School Board to give 500
toward the maintenance or the school, and
while no definite action has been taken in
the matter, the committee has been given
10 understand that its request will be de-
Med. on the ground that the APPROPRIATION
II made. would be illegal.
The matter Will be definitely settled to-
night at the meeting OF the School Board
Friends OF the school say that those who
claim IL is not legal TO give money toward
the support OF the school will find II hard
work TO explain, In that case why IL has
all along been legal TO give money toward
the support OF night schools. Charles Adam
and John Il. Frenzel. ex-members of the
School Board, gave IL as their opinion that
the contribution OF $40 toward the vacation
school would be not only warranted. but
legal The teachers OF the school have been
selected, as follows: Miss Josephine Bauer
principal. Nellie Ashbrook Alice B. GRAY

HESS ON THE WARPATH.
The Indianapolis Postmaster Is Hav-
ing Sweet Revenge.

Postmaster Hess has donned his war paint
and feathers for certain postmasters Some
days ago he received letter from the third
assistant postmaster general notifying him
that reports had been received from several
offices that mail from Indianapolis had been
received at those offices on which insufficient
postage had been placed. Mr.. Hess wrote
an apologize letter and expressed his regret,
but the next day in came another letter
from the same official on the same subject.
Mr.. Hess again replied and the next day in
came another. BY this time the apology
was becoming somewhat threadbare, and
Mr.. Hess began 10 get somewhat provoked.
In all twelve pieces of mail were reported
against the local office and Mr.. Hess thought
he would begin a close examination of mail
received here and send in few reports
himself. The result has been far beyond ex-
peetations, and for three days the postmas-
ter has sent In long list of offices which
have forwarded mail here with insufficient
postage thereon. The list sent TO Washing
ton yesterday included names of seventy-nine
offices and the third assistant Will probably
be kept busy with the reports from this Of
flee. From reports made IL Is probable that
no office in the country Is so free from for
wardlng mail without enough postage as is
the local office, and the force in the mailing
room is exceptionally particular about this
point.

DURBlN WILL NOT SERVE.
Colonel of the 161st Indiana Not
Anxious to Go to the Philippines.

Col. W. T. Durbin, the former head Of the
Observation-Disclosures Indiana Regi-
ment, was in the city yesterday and told of
his plans for the enlistment of new Indi-
ana regiment for service regulars in the
Philippines He says that, so far as he Is
concerned, he does not want to have any
connection with the regiment other than to
assist in its formation. He has had all the
army service he cares for, and will under
no circumstances accept command in the
new regiment. He says the men will be
enlisted as individuals without regard to
their connection with the State, and that
the regiment, If enlisted, will not be accred-
tied to this tSate, but will simply be regi-
ment OF Indiana regulars. He has received
personal assurances from the Washington
authorities that the regiment will be raised
and given chance to serve in the Philip
pines, but further than this he has had no
interest in inquiring.

Narrow Escape of Rural-Street
Family from Fire.

The one-story frame house occupied by
William Hayes, at 1884 North Rural street.
was destroyed by fire yesterday morning
about 4:SO o'clock. The fire had gained such
Roadway when discovered that it was with
difficulty that the occupants escaped. Mr..
Hayes was awakened by the fiuttering Of
a bird in a cage and when he opened the
dining room door he was contracted with
volume of flame. None of the effects of
the family was saved. The loss on the
house and furniture was about 5000.
Considerable excitement was occasioned
about II o'clock yesterday by a second
alarm being turned in because of a fire at
the Peoples Quitting Company, on West
Washington street. An electric light wire
had started a fire, which was soon ex-
tinguished, and when the signal for the
water pressure to be cut of was sent in
the machinery failed to give the last stroke,
thus indicating second alarm.
