The Theatrical Craze.

Society people are not remaining housed
this winter. just because there are no even
ing parties. They are crowding the thea
tiers. Where it used to be the custom to go
TO the theater occasionally, it is now the
fashion to attend several times a week.
Family after family has bought season
tickets and if the members do not use them
themselves, they present them to some of
their frinds to use. Matinee parties are
general and not a Wednesday or Saturday
passes that there are not such features. The
parties range from groups of four persons
TO twenty or more. The matinee party is
preceded or followed by a luncheon. When
the luncheon and matinee party are both
given, the luncheon is not an elaborate af-
fair, for it must begin promptly and be fin
tshed in time for the party to get to the
theater in time to see the curtain rise on
the first act. or ii is a three-eourse semi-sup-
per after the play. The evening theater
party is almost too numerous to mention,
the Grand, English and Park theaters all
have them and not to attend the theater is
not to see ones friends. The play is surely
the thing in Indanap polls this winter.

A Big Busy Store.

1t is a matter of great surprise to
people who have not lately visited the
big department store Of the W. F.
White Hardware company, the amountof
business which is each day transacted
there.
Glancing into the store almost at any
hour OF the day tho clercical force is
always on the rush Every one doing
work in the store seems to have a little
more than they can do. This has not
continued just through this present
busy season, bnt it is an every day oc-
currence.
Shelving has been extended to the
ceilings on both sides Of the big main
store for tho accommodation Of increased
stocks and these are SO high and crowd
cd that system of ladder railways now
extend around the store SO that the
shelving comes into instant use.
The force Of clerks has been much
increased and work runs along smooth
ly everywhere in the big store of the
city. All the time Of Manager and
President w. F. White is now taken in
looking after the purchase of stock to
keep their big lines full and up to stan
dard.
Without any doubt whatever it is the
largest general store of lite kind on the
western slope. Goods have got to be
kept on the move in this establishment,
hence prices are made to move them.
1t really does look with 30 many va
Tieties OF goods under one roof, where
the cost of handling them is down to
minimum basis that, they could be sold
more cheaply than elsewhere.
Their holiday rush this week is the
biggest in their history, owing to low
prices and the Cash System. 1t does
seem that every one wanting an up to
date substantial Christmas present is
not satisfied until they visit Whites De-
partment Store, where every wish can
be gratitied

The republican party will doubts
less demonstrate to the American
workman, before the close Of Nc
Kinley's term that, it is the party
of trusts, low wages, high prices
and run solely in the interests of
the rich. How much above liv-
ing is the American workmen mak>
ing today? Very little indeed, if
any. Is this true of the manufac-
turer and the trusts? BY illegal
and oppressive combines prices
have been showed up out Of sight
and the increase in the laboring
mans wage does not half comPre>
hcnd the raise in the price Of his
living.
The daily sentinel., 1899-12-20

A cordial invitation is now given
those republicans, who all along
have asserted that when the repub-
lican party fails to do something
for silver that they will leave the
party, to come right into the silver
republican party. Without they
have been Icing all along, they will
now leave the republican party bag
and baggage, as there is no hope
whatever in that party for silver or
a bimetallic currency. 1nternation'
al agreement is myth and if BIZ
metallic currency is to be secured
it will be through our own nation.

nONEY KINGS TREmBLE
Brokers Crazed by Rumors of
Failures Fell Over Each Other
In A Mad Rush to
Realize.

New York-The elimination Of long
season OF uneasiness and sluggish trad
ing in Wall street, and persistent con-
traction OF loans by New York banks
came yesterday when the Stock exchange
in that city was several times a scene Of
panic seldom equalled in it's history.
The rate for call money WAS at one time
officially quoted at l25 per cent, while as
high as 1856 per cent is said to have heen
paid. The clearing house banks eased
the situation for time by throwing
S10O00,000 into the loan market at 6
per cent, but panicky conditions again
prevailed, and the closing hour OF trad
ing was full Of indication that today will
witness repetition Of panicky features.
The failure OF the Stock Exchange
Trust COMPANY, with enormous liabili-
ties, tended to abort the repressive
measures OF the banks, and they now
look to Washington for some adequate
I'D peasure of relief from the Treasury de-
partment, which is promised by the
prompt action OF Secretary Gage in des-
ignating new depository banks and in
creasing government deposits in old ones
which comply with necessary condit-
ions
The cotton market was in sympathy
with the Stock exchange, price huctua-
tions being violent, and the close show
ing heavy declines.
Wheat speculators, on the other hand
paid no attention to Wall street, having
decided that prospects of long war in
South Africa justified higher prices.
Oats and corn tailed after wheat in the
upward movement in Chicago and New
York, but pork products declined.
The daily sentinel., 1899-12-20
The people, the plain every day

The people, the plain every day
people, cannot understand why
Secretary of the Treasury Gage,
should be kept in stew at all
times by the stock gambling oPer>
ations of Wall street. The dis
patches say that Secretary Gage
will relieve the pressure Of stock
gambling by making new bank de>
positories and turning the receipts
from internal revenue into the
channel of stock operations. The
trade of the country is not particu-
larly affected, even though forty or
fifty stock concerns fail, whose le-
gitimate stock has probably been
watered many times over its real
value. Never a more willing tool
has been seated in the chair now
occupied by Gage than he. If,
through his subserviency to the
gold standard crowd, which is re-
sponsible for the bill just passed,
the country should suffer disas>
trous panic by the contraction Of
currency, Gage would be execrat-
ed such as no other American has
been since Arnold. If his concern
would lie entirely out Of Wall
street, he could better serve the
whole people, than doing as he is
at the present time, serving the rich
at government expense.

Kipling is quoted as the greatest

exceptionally brilliant, who have

side with any newspaper work kip>
ling has done, would far outrank
him. Kipling is novelist. doubts
less a great one, but had these
others the same opportunity as he
has had, they would have been
equally great. A long list OF fam
