At a banquet given by the Phi Gamma

Dayton, o., Friday night the menu cards
contained a letter from Gen. Lew Wallace,
who is q member of the society. 1t was
read by John Clark Ridpath, the toastmas-

II wish it were in my power to attend

with good wishes to wait on him with a
well done for every good and great thing

great things / know he will make certain
Of the better things of the life TO come.
ITO me now the most beautiful, the most
and affection are the young men fast COM
ing to their inheritance, public and private.
As they pass before me / follow them with
wonder. What influences are they to leave
behind them? What paths are they to pur-
sue? Society is TO be theirs. What will
they nave done for it? And the Republic;
its mission is TO minister to the happiness
of our own people and carry freedom to
oppressed peoples everywhere. Will the
mission have been sacredly observed?
You. more favored than /, to whom the

chance to hear what here l say and make
dividend of my good wishes and affection

BertilIOn Record Shows Him a Crook
with q Record.

Nothing further was learned yesterday by
the police relative to the holdup man giving
the name of Charles Meyers, 26S South
seventeenth street, Columbus, O. He still
tells practically the same story as that told
shortly after his arrest. The man who was
arrested a few hours later as Meyers's sup
posed companion, has been positively iden-
tilted as the man who rified the cash drawer
at Fritz's drug store and the companion of
Meyers In the Hadley holdup at 757 Indiana
avenue. Both men were photographed and
their Bertillon measurements taken, after
which they were arraigned in Police Court.

ceedings and declared in a gruff voice, after

case against his pal. who gave the name Of

doubt in the minds of the detectives that
the pictures were both OF the man under

HOMELY SOL SMITH RUSSELL.
Pleased Two Audiences Yesterday
with His Very Old Play.

"a Poor Relation was given before two
good-sized audiences yesterday afternoon
and last night by Mr.. Sol. Smith Russell
and his company. The play is well known,
having been on the stage for the last twelve
years. Mr.. Russell referred to this fact
in another curtain speech. giving as the
main cause for its popularity the plays ten
dency to show up the better qualities of
men rather than the weaker. However this
may be, it cannot-with all the strong be-
lief in humanity-truthfully be held that in
life. virtue triumphs and vice is sunken.
But man gets revenge or actually. He goes
to the playhouse and appeases his highly
offended sense of ~justice by applauding per-
secuted virtue and approving with unmoved
heart, nay with deep satisfaction, the tor
turous end of the miserable villain. In for
ner days, when the sweetness OF civilizing
influences was the exception rather than the
rule, legendary reports speak of eggs. apples
and sundry missiles intended to offend the
Olfactory nerves and incidently express the
audiences deep disgust in the villains con-
duct. In those days, of course, the villain
was a highly unsatisfactory part to enact.
"a Poor Relation" is no exception TO the
rule; it is an improvement on life. a humble
suggestion to Providence how to conduct
properly as we'll as successfully temporal
such a harmless little story as a prototype
Of impossibility. but really the production
was so lncomparably higher than the play
itself that one cannot help but think of the
rot in the Mozart's opera librettos and their
transformation into musics
Mr.. Russell, as Noah Vale, gave a beauti-
full and touching picture Of the trials and
worries of a hig.l-minded. poor genius. His
tender love for the two poor little children,
which are intrusted to his loving care, was
admirably given. His company assisted Mr..
Russell well. Frederick Faye, the wealthy
manufactures Calf. Hanson). was good.
Jasper Sterrett Games Lackaye) acted his
part very well. He was a dignified villain
Charles Arthur as Charlie Smith pleased
the audience very much. In a like manner
were the lesser parts we'll filled The per-
Torrance was admirably balanced and
helped to sustain the w~ell-known popularity
of Mr.. Russell's performances.

YOHN HOMESTEAD SOLD
AN APARTMENT HOUSE IN SIGHT AT
VERMONT AND DELAWARE.
Property Which Has Been In the Fam.
lily Over Fifty Years Sells for
SCI, 200.

Another apartment house will probably be
built within the near future, as the sale of
the Yohn property, at the northwest corner
Of Vermont and Delaware streets, probably
will be completed tomorrow. The pur-
chaser is Mrs. Robert Zener, and, while
she has not fully determined to build an
apartment house, she buys the property
with that in mind and will in all probability
do so. The property is 125x101 feet, and it is
understood the consideration Is 81 600.
The property is a portion of that pur-
chased by Mr.. Yohn in 1913. although it does
not include all of the original purchase. One
lot was sold off the north end of the orig
inal purchase and a lot was sold off from
the back end. The purchase price for the
entire tract in 1S4S was $1,000, and the orig
NAL tract to-day is worth probably about
$4,000. or an increase in value of over $500
a year. The old Yohn homestead occupies
this corner. In 1850 three lots at the corner
of Michigan and Delaware streets were
bought for 500.

was found in with smallpox at his home on
Virginia avenue several days ago, and at
the time IL was said that during his illness
he had treated many patients and had re-
ce:ved several visitors who had called to
inquire as to the condition of his wife.
Had there been any cases of smallpox In
the city at the time DR.. VIA became sick
the Board of Health would have consid-
cred that some of the infected people living
in the city had visited the dental estab-
lishment and had communicated it to DR..
VIA and his wife. AS it was. the board
could not even suggest any way that the
family could have contracted it until yes
terday. when John Kiley. of this city,
walked into the Office and showed DR.. Clark
a letter he had received from Uniontown.
KY, and this letter explained where the
smallpox came from.
The letter was from Mrs. Kate Wright.
who says that Mrs. c.. II. Ward. the wife
of a grocer of Uniontown, visited DIR. and

NAMED until the 18th. when she returned
home. She came here from Benton Har-
Dor, Mich, where she had been visiting her
sister, Mrs. Z. NJ. K~uykendall, who lives in
the Mills block. While in Benton Harbor
she was taken With a chill on Sept. =, ana
this was followed by fever for forty-eight
hours. AS she was not considered TO be
very i'll, no physician was called in. When
the fever left her she broke out with what
she thought were hives. AS these did not
trouble her at first, she came to Indianapo-
lis, where in a few days the hives turned
into 'eruptive pimples," which itched Sc
verely. She remained here three days, ana
after she reached home she received a letter
from her sister in Benton Harbor, saying
that on the 9th the latter had been taken
with the same symptoms Mrs. Ward had
experienced, and that the physician who
was called in pronounced the "eruptive pim-
PIES to be Cuban itch"
The Benton Harbor authorities quaran-
tined the block in which Mrs. K~uykendall
lived, however, and the cashier of the Big
Four Railway at Benton Harbor said there
was a general fear that the disease was
smallpox. Until receiving this letter Mrs.
Ward had no idea that she had a conta-
gious disease, particularly so, as after the
eruptions left her face she found none on
the marks usually found after a visitation
Of smallpox.
