The managers of the Press Gu concert
were very agreeably surprised yesterday at
the good sale Of tickets on the first day for
the concert to be given in Tomlinson Hall
next Wednesday evening. The sale was suf-
fcient TO Indicate a fun house for the con-
cert. This entertainment deserves the
patronage of the music-loving people of the
city, for 1t is to be a concert of a high class,
such as has never before been offered except
when stars were brought from other places.
In this effort TO establish the fact that II Is

OF music in this city. and il will also place all
the work of Indianapolis stars on a higher
plane IN the future in the minds of the pub

d~ianapolis Musical Society and by the Maen-
nerchor will be the equal OF anything

a Piece of Latin.

A story is told of former mayor of Birmingham, England, that he gave orders to have his robes of office lined with "vermin" When the late Alder man Surge was mayor he received a royal command to dine and sleep at Windsor. This of course meant court dress and sword. The court dress was reluctantly submitted to, but as mem Der of the Society of Friends, and, moreover, one who had greatly distin- guished himself in the cause of peace, for he had formed one of the peace deputation to the ezar before the out break of the Crimean war, Mr. Surge would not consent to wear a lethal weapon. A compromise was happily effected A scabbard and hilt Of the usual kind were at his worship's side when the presentation to royalty took place, but the sword was mere lath of wood Fortunately the worthy Quaker was not called upon to draw ID defense of his sovereign.

A CLEVER GIRL.

How She Fooled the Other Girls Neatly
 and Completely.
 The girl of my heart came home to attend a cousins wedding on Thursday of last week and she stayed in town for two days before going back to school for the commencement which will make her sophomore, says the Wash ington Post. It wouldn't be fair to tell the pame of her school, but it's an ex- cellent one, where the fashions of the men's college are followed, even to the possession of a college yell and the practicing of hazing. The girl of my heart was hazed last fall. She did not faint when the girls touched her arm with bit of ice and said they were branding her with an iron. She en- dured every ordeal so smilingly that the girls at last determined to do some thing perfectly dreadful. They marched her through dark halls, blind- folded as she was. opened a closet door in the physical laboratory, snatched the bandage from her eyes, pushed her in, locked the door and left her shrieking in the arms of a skeleton. Now, skeleton to her is no more ter rifying than a hoopskirt, but she saw an opportunity to amuse herself. She Is one of the cleYerest amateur actress es Washington possesses. She let down her hair and tangled it about her face. Her gown was an old one, so she sacrificed it and tore it to tatters. Then she waited. Presently she heard the girls returning. She began to croon softly to herself a weird song. The girls opened the door. She took no notice of them, but went on lavisD- ing kisses on the grinning skull, laugh ing idiotieally to herself the while. Finally one of them whispered: Girls, she's raVing mad" That was the cue for the girl of my heart. She rayed; she tore her hair; she shrieked when they tried to draw her away from the skeleton; she laughed; she flung her. self about, and finally danced out into the outer room, moaning in blood curdling way. The girls dared not even breathe. They were ghastIy. They clung to each other and shud dered. The girl of my heart danced to the door, caught up a knife from a ta- ble, waved it with a hideous scream and sprang at them. Then, as they huddled together in a perfect agony of fright, she dropped the knife aud opened the door. "Well, girls" she said, drawlingly, q hope you've en- joyed the fun; I'm sure I have" Then she disappeared, and dozen crest fallen girls, too frightened to dare to go into mysteries, too much relieved to be angry, stole quietly away. ley are clever girls at that college, but the girl of my heart is bell wether of the flock.

ANNAPOLIS CADETS.
Now on Their Summer Trip in Foreign
 Waters.

Now on Their Summer Trip in Foreign
 Waters.
 One of the most pleasant things about being an Annapolis cadet is the chance they have of going on summer cruises. The second class men are now aboard an old-fashioned sailing vessel, such as was used by our navy before we had steam warships. These young men are required to do the work of common sailors; in fact, they do every thing there is to be done on the boat. They started in June, and will return in September. They stop for 8 week UT so at Plymouth, England, and ar arrangements have been made for then to spend a few days in London. Then they sail for Lisbon, Portugal, and the boys are wondering how Spain's neigh bors will receive them. After that they go to Gibraltar, and then home again. Of course there is a good deal of fun to be got out of the trip, and great deal to see; but it is part of their four years course at the naval acad- emy, and they have to work hard scrubbing decks and taking in sails, and the slightest disobedience is pun ished. Before they left this country they stopped off Hampton Roads for few days and went through lot of drilling, including the "deserting of the ship" In this drill the crew puts pro- visions in the small boats, launch them and row away toward land, just as they would have to do if the ship took fire or were in sinking condition.
 newspaper Tor Heggars.
 One of the queerest newspapers paS- lished in Paris is daily journal, got up especially for beggars. The mendi- cants of Paris have their labor union. and labor dues in the same way as an ordinary trade. Only limited num- Der of hektograph copies of the jour- nal are issued, and these are distribut- ed among the various district head quarters of the metropolis. It con- tains tips for all sorts of mendicants. There are complete lists of the bap- tisms, weddings and funerals to take place each day, so that the beggar knows where to go if he wants to ply his trade successfully. For the advan- tage of begging letter writers, spc- cial column is set apart for noting the arrivals and departures of per- sons of known charitable tendencies. If the philanthropist millionaire should be surprised on returning to Paris that pleas for assistance at once begin to pour in upon him, he will be able to ascribe this phenomenon to the kind offices of the Beggars' Journal.

 graceful Habit.

How She Can Be Cured of This Un.
 graceful Habit.
 The woman who stoops Is rare, thank goodness, but she does exist as an eye sore to beholders and a discomfort to herself, Yes, I am convinced that the stopping woman is quite uncomfort- able and would remedy her defect if she knew how. Weakness of the sys- tenn is sometimes responsible for stopping shoulders, but carelessness is the great cause. Poring over books, writing for hours at time and neg lect to aid defective vision with glasses are the main causes.
 The cure should begin with the pill low. Use one small, fiat pillow at night or dispense entirely with the lux ury of a head rest. Bear the infirmity in mind and walk ereetly and sit with the shoulders where they should be. Expand the chest and keep the eyes on a level with peoples faces. Practice walking about the Eoom with a book balanced on the head and hold the chin up when reading, with the book placed on level with the face. Have the eyes tested occasionally, and if you need glasses procure them at once. Often the trouble is but temporary and the use of glasses for a few weeks or months will remedy the eye trouble.
