THE CONCERT REHEARSAL.
Miss OrIopp, vioIinist, Will BE Heard
Tonight.

The last rehearsal of the chorus for the
Press Club concert for Miss Orlopp, violinist.
TO be given in Tomlinson Hall tonight, was
held in the hall last night and proved most
satisfactory 10 all. 1t developed the fact
that the second number-"My Love Dwelt
in a Northern Lands most admirably
suited to the acoustic properties of the hall.
This is a weird. mournfut song that tells Of
blighteo love, and has a most beautiful har-
mony. 1t will undoubtedly prove to be the
popular chorus plumber. although MY Bon
ME Lass She Smileth,'' the madrigal by
Morley. will probably stand well in popular
favor. Both are fine specimens Of choral
music and seem most perfectly suited to
the hall.
The sale of seats at the Big Four Office will
continue until 5 O'Clock this afternoon
After that the seats can be obtained only
at the box office.

A%NTI-BlCYCLE FIENDS.
Many Tires Cut While wheels stand
on the Streets

Among cyclists numerous complaints are
being heard of cut and Debated tires Of
wheels left standing for a short time In
bicycle racks along the streets. Someone
seems to take great pleasure in sticking
knives, pins and tacks into wheels thus left.
Yesterday. in a rack near the corner Of
Washington and Delaware streets, were seen
four bicycles with Debated rear tires. The
owners all said that the tires were in good
shape when placed in the rack. One wheel
which has been left in this rack and an
other close by, has been found four times
within a week m the same condition Nor
is this the only locality in which the same
sort Of devilment is being done. A sugges-
ton was yesterday made by one wheelman,
which if carried out would no doubt result
in putting a stop to such, work. The scheme
is TO organize and establishia fund for the
payment of rewards for convictions for
deeds of this character. the rewards being
large enough to make it an object for per-
sons TO report the acts when seen. The pun
ishment under the law for offenses of the
kind is sufficient If the guilty parties can
be found. There is also much complaint re-
garding the condition Of the streets, in that
the pavements are not thoroughly swept
and cleaned at the sides near the curbing
where 1t is easy for glass, tacks. ETC.. to ac-
cumulate.

The petition Of Lewis Brandenburg and
others asking for the appointment of a re-
ceiver for the Washington Savings and Loan
Association Of this city. Will be heard by
Judge Allen. OF the Circuit Court, this MORN
ing. 1t is understood that the receivership
proceedings will be warmly contested. Some
Of the members Of the association are OPP
posed to the appointment Of a receiver. and
Almira L. Hughes and fourteen other in
tervening petitioners, represented by John
b. Cockrum, will oppose a receivership.
They claim that It is for the best interests
Of all members that the affairs Of the asso-
citation be wound up by the officers and di-
rectors Of the concern, instead of by a re-
ceiver. They also assert that the present
condition of the association is not due to the
officers now in charge, but to former off,
Gals.
Griffiths & Potts, representing the officers
Of the association, will file an answer this
morning to the complaint filed by Branden.
burg and Others. The answer sets I'D the
allegation that the irregularities charged by
the plaintiffs should not be laid at the door
Of the present board of directors and OFF,
GERS. They claim they are now managing
the business Of the association economically
and at an expense not to succeed 500 "A
month. The answer asserts that Miss Flor
ence M. Warner is the acting secretary Of
the association and has given a bond of
$500, which is deposited in the Capital
National Bank. 1t is asserted that since
Jan. z no loans have been made and no stock

Germs condition until the report of the ex>

TO take any steps to recover from any per-
son, officer or director who has participated
In any fraud. and Is ready to do what is
necessary to increase the assets so THAI
members may get large dividends. 1t IL
ayerred that If the present management Is
continued and no receiver Is appointed the
affairs VIII be more eco. iomicalfy conducted,
and al results that a receiver could bring
about will be obtained at much less expense.
The suit for receiver will be prosecuted by
Noel & Lair.

POOR FARM DANGER.


Inspector McAbee yesterday inspected the
Marion county poor asylum and ordered
three fire escapes placed on the buildings
at once. He says he found the conditions
very bad. and in one building there are
forty people who sleep on the fifth floor
and the only egress is one small stairway.
1t is a question with the inspector as to
whether or not to accept a straight ladder
fire escape. He does not think the law will
permit it. but the owners of Office buildings
have demanded that this style be accepted.
1t is not probable that any change in the
ruling against them will be, made.
