Its Glory gone.


In one of the finest cities of our west
there lives a certain man who has been
prominent ali his life in the Work of build
ing and managing theaters. He has been
too busy at this to have much time for
reading. When his pile was made he
started for Europe and visited the various
countries. Among other cities he took in
Rome. It CHANGED that he drove out in
the country and was shown the Coliseum.
The guide told him it was a theater.. The
old man was surprised. When he came
back he was asked about his trip; he men
toned Rome. Naturally he was asked if
he had seen the Coliseum. He had. He
didn't think much of it. To quote his own
words: 1T was blamed good house once,
but it's in ruins now."-Detroit Free Press.

APPELLATE COURT REPORTS.
Attorneys Protesting Against the De-
lay I'm Receiving Them.

Many letters are being received at the
secretary Of states office from attorneys in
all parts of the State, protesting against
the delay in receiving the Appellate Court
reports and against sending these reports
to the judges before distributing them to
the attorneys. Mr.. Conner, deputy secre-
tary, yesterday said: 1.-The first of these re-
ports received from the binder was Jan. %,
when copies were sent TO the judges with
circular letter, stating that this office was
now distributing these reports and that
those books were forwarded without wait
ing for the rest of the issue, thus placing
them in the hands of the courts five or six
weeks before the usual time. On Jan. q
3S4 copies were received, on Jan. % $40
copies were received and a few days later
the balance was received. On Jan. "a we
notified the dealers in these reports that this
office would make the free distribution in
accordance with an opinion to that effect
from the attorney general, and that the
copies they might desire to purchase would
be ready after that date. If they have not
been sent out by dealers that is not our
fault. as we have them here and If the
dealers do not want to handle them we will
do IL ourselves"
One of the firms which has handled these
reports is the Bowen-Merrill Company, and
last night w. e. BOObS. manager Tor the
company, said: so far as we are con-
cerned, we will not handle these reports
Under the present system. If the secretary
of state will have the entire edition rushed
through the bindery together, so that the
distribution may be made to judges and the
attorneys at the same time. will do so,
but we will not handle them at all so long
as advance copies are sent 10 the judges
from three to six weeks ahead of the time
when the edition is completed for the at
torneys. When we receive letters inquiring
about the books. we merely inclose one of
the circular letters sent out by the secretary
of state, and say that so long as this dis
elimination is made we will not supply the
reports We do not wish any controversy,
and all that we are doing is to simply de-
cline to handle the books under the present
system For twenty years the reports have
gone to judges and attorneys on the same
day. and so far as we know. there has never
been any complaint. But the lawyers have
a just cause to object II they must wait for
five or six weeks after the judges are sup
piled. and we decline to be party TO that

Public VS.. Private Management.

To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal:
In an editorial on municipal ownership, in
Sundays Journal, the opinion is expressed
that IF street railways in all the cities
were under municipal management. IL is
fair TO assume that we would still have the
horse and mule cars, for the reason that
there would be no incentive to individuals
to expend money in experiments for which
no return would be made" Yet experiment
and invention have not ceased In the devel-
opment of fire-dghting apparatus, though
fire departments all over the country are
now and always have been under municipal
management. In support of this point here
is paragraph from the last New York let
ter of the Indianapolis News:
THE fire commissioner has accepted the
offer of the Auto-truck Company to place
a fire engine, equipped with the air-power
system of propulsion, on trial in the regular
service of the department A long period of
probation will be required before any
further steps are taken, but it is said that
If the trials are entirely successful, all the
apparatus in the department will be
changed, and great saving over the cost
OF maintaining horse service will be ef-
fected"
Is the incentive to the designers and build
ers in this case any the less that their pros
pective customer Is an official OF the city

Saws His Wife Conspired.

Warren Fatout, who recently began an
action for $4,000 damages against his
mother-in-law, Sarah Il. Hauser, for alien
ating the affections of his wife. Lille Fa-
tout brought another suit in the Superior
Court yesterday in which he asks that
deed to certain city property be set aside.
He makes his wife and m0ther-in-law de-
PENDANTS to the suit. The property in ques-
ton is situated on East Washington street.
The plaintiff AYERS that in becoming the
husband of Lille Hauser he was the vic
tim of conspiracy and says that the lat
ter and her mother conspired to get him
into their family in order to obtain pos
session of his property. He was married
to Lille Hauser on Dec. Z, 1897, and about
the same time made deed conveying his
property TO her. He charges that his wife
and her mother made II uncomfortable
for him that he left his home in January
of this year. In his complaint Fatout re-
iates a romantic story of how his wife
"courted him. before their marriage. The
woman told him, he says, that she had
fallen in love with him at first sight and
that he was the only man she ever loved
or ever could love. Her mother, he says,
informed him that he was an excellent
young man" and said that her daughter
would never be happy without him. He
finally consented to make the young woman
happy and gave her his name and his home

THE QUEEN A SECRET.
Much Speculation as to Terpsichore
in the Carnival.

Last evenings rehearsal of those who will
take part in the Carnival of Terpsichore
gave rise to much speculation as TO who will
be queen of the carnival. This is a pro-
found secret, and no one knows who will
have this distinction. The queen has not
yet been selected, and the selection is
shrouded in mystery, and no one knows
who will make the selection or who the
queen will be. Last evenings rehearsal at
Tomlinson Hall was given up to the b.
hemian dance and the American Beauties
and Royal Middies dance. The former
dance was gone through with twice and the
latter once These in charge expressed the
greatest satisfaction with the aptitude of
those who take part. and before the even
ing was over the dances were most grace
fully performed.
The dance of the Royal Middies and the
American Beauties will We with one Of the
handsomest stage settings seen in this city.
The battle ship Indiana, which will be a
faithful diminished copy of the original, will
play a conspicuous part in the climax. and
is said TO be one of the most beautiful that
has been put on the stage. The principal
character, Columbia, is taken by Miss Au-
gusta jameson, and the American Beauties
are Miss Baker, Miss Adams, Miss Fletcher
Miss Henley, Miss Craig, Miss Sullivan,
Miss Wallick and Miss Taylor. The Royal
Mddies are Mr.. Lynnwood, Mr.. Chapman,
Mr.. Theodore Haughey, Mr.. Morrison, Dr.
Martin, Mr.. Smith, Mr.. w. Haughey and
Mr.. Johnston. This dance is under the d.
rection of Mrs. s. h. Morss, who is taking
most enthusiastic interest in it.
The Bohemian dance, which is a beautiful
Inquire, was practiced. Mrs.. h. s X. Seguin
has charge of this dance. Mrs. Arthur e.
White, as queen of the tribe, last evening
caused much favorable comment by her
gracefulness and by the hearty manner in
which she entered into her part in the
usually nonattractive rehearsal without Co.'S

SOME OF BLUME'S LETTERS
Supposed to Show the Prisoner Was
of Sound Mind.

Yesterday morning the State submitted
In evidence in the Blume murder trial at
Lebanon a number of letters alleged to
have been written by Blume to Grace Har-
vey. Mrs. Barbara Harvey, foster mother
of the murdered girl, identified the hand
writing as that OF Blume's. She said Blume
had written his name I'm Grace Harveys
album at ler home in Greensburg, and that
the handwriting in the letters was similar
TO that which appeared in the album. The
letters were all written in a plain and
legible hand. the spelling, grammar and
punctuation being fair and the substance of
the letters being intelligently worded. B. f.
Wynn, a medical expert of Indianapolis,
was put on the stand and was shown the
letters. which he examined. He expressed
the opinion that the writer of the letters
was of sound mind. He said that in his
opinion person would indicate the nature
of his insanity, if there were any, in a
series of letters covering a period of one
year.
The State yesterday morning attempted to
impeach DR.. Kluge, who testified last week
for the defense. When the witness was on
the stand before the States attorney asked
him if he was not arrested for stealing a
pair of trousers from the When clothing
store in indianapolis. He answered en-
phatically no. The State brought into court
what purported to be a transcript of the
record in the case of petit larceny against
the doctor. The defense objected
to the introduction of this evil
dence. The court made no ruling
at the time but said he would take the mat
ter under Amusement. The court announced
his ruling on the question of admitting the
testimony of DR.. Flora MacIvor, a physician
of the City Dispensary. The court held that
the doctor did not sustain the relation of
physician to Blume when she was called
by the sheriff to observe Blumes conduct
at the time ne acted so crazy in the Jail.
Dr. Wynn was recalled in the afternoon.
He gave a minute description of the disease
from which Blume suffered and said that.
in his opinion, Blume was of sound mind
when he shot and killed Grace Harvey.
Jerry Kinney, a detective testified that he
arrested DR.. Kluge on Fletcher avenue, July
Z, 1894, on charge of petit larceny. The
witness said he saw him in the Marion
Criminal Court when ne was convicted of
petit larceny and sent TO Jail for thirty
days. The defense objected to this evidence
going to the jury ana. on motion of Attor-
ney Ralston, the testimony was stricken
from the record and the jury told not to
take it into consideration. DR.. Charles
Poucher testified that he saw Blume Sept
Il, shortly after the murder. He helped dress
Blumes wounds when he came into the
hospital. Further than that the defense OBJ
jected to his testifying. The same objection
was made to DR.. Charles Truebloods testi-
mony The doctor had treated him after

DEAD OF MORPHINE.


Shortly after IL o'clock last night Samuel
Hotel, discovered e. II. Hardy of Louis
vile, KY, a roomer of the house, dead In
his bed. The coroner was Immediately mott
fled and upon his order the body was taken
by Undertaken Kregelo To all appearances
the man had died from an overdose Of NOR
phine. Two small boxes were found on the
stand in the room. One contained few
pills and bore a label. u. p Mccullough,
Lawrenceburg, Ind" The other was empty
and was marked morphine" but there was
nothing on it to indicate where 1t came from.
The last time Hardy was seen before his
death was about $50 in the evening, when
the man, Cal Reinhart, who was rooming
with him, went to the room and found Hardy
in bed, and supposing him to be asleep,
shook him, when Hardy said: Leave me
alone, I'll get UP after while" Reinhart
then left. He said that he and Hardy had
been drinking very hard for two or three
days. and thinking it would do Hardy good
to sleep, did not disturb him further. When
he was next seen he was dead. Mr.. Carr
said that il was his habit TO look over the
house several times during the night. and in
doing so tried the doors TO gee If they were
locked. When he opened the door to the
room occupied by Hardy and Reinhart he
noticed the window was raised. Thinking it
might rain, he struck a match and went
over to close the window. He then saw
someone in the bed, sleeping, as he first sup
posed but the peculiar appearance of the
face caused him 10 light the gas. Investga-
ton brought to light the fact that the man
was dead.
Hardy was employed by the Werk Soap
Company. of Cincinnati. and In company
with a number of others was canvassing The
city for orders. The man having in charge
the work of the canvassers said that Hardy
had been working for the company off and
on about three years, and that considerable
trouble had always been occasioned by his
drinking. Hardy. it was said. had long lived
in Louisville. KY, his last residence being
at $50 Fifth street. He was about forty years
