MR.. MADONNA.
He Ii Disgusted with the Cuts Pub.
Iished I'm Eastern Papers.

Mr.. Joseph Gray Kitchell. who is now in
New York at the Waldorf-Astoria, is some
what disguised with the cuts published by
some of the metropolitan dailies of what
purports to be his composite Madonna. In
writing to a friend in this city Mr.. Kitchell
expressed his Indignation as follows:
Did you see the execrable fake Madonna
picture in to-day's -? / mean, will you
have seen ii when this reaches you? or all
the Gepraved prostitutions of a lofty sub
ject, / swear that is the mos, outrageous,
There is not one element of redemption in
it-just a great. fat, beefy, sensuous fe-
male. Sort of Sam T. Jack product"
Mr.. Kitchell says the Waldorf-Astoria
ought a large copy at a large price, and
that seven concerns bid for the silver car
bon copy which was secured by John Wan
amaker for $500. He says in conclusion:
"Al1 smile with raised hands and wonder
how work so good could come out of In
~dianapolis."

The Union Traction Company of Indiana
of which Hon. Charles L. Henry is the
general manager, will bring the four larg-
est cities I'm the gas belt and nineteen
smaller towns into hourly connection with
Indianapolis at a cost OF about one cent a
mile of travel. Such a connection will be
of great advantage to all of these towns
as well as to Indianapolis. To no class will
the connection be more advantageous than
to dairymen and to those engaged in truck
farming. 1t is not expected that any OBJ
stacle will be put I'm the way OF the traffic
of the Union Traction reaching the heart
of the city over the tracks of the city lines.
II is probable that satisfactory arrange
ments will be made by which the Board of
Public Works will sanction any arrange
ment that the managers of the interurban
and city lines may make.

The general opinion of the New York

paper has few of the marks of hasty prep
aration common TO most first editions, but
comes out ~full-fedged and with all the

1t is a beginning creditable TO all con-

vorable auspices and with the best wishes
of a wide circle of friends.

GERMAN HOUSE CONCERT.
An Excellent Programme Is Rem
dered, Followed by Dancing.

The second concert Of the German Club
and Musikverein was a brilliant success
last night. both in point of numbers and in
the rendition of the excellent programme
presented. The first number on the pro-
gramme was an overture, "Rienzi," which
Is one Of Wagner's masterpieces. and 1t
was rendered by the orchestra with adj
mirable skill. The wind instruments are
especially strong in the piece, giving much
force n expression. The second number
on the programme was rendered by the
male chorus. 1t included two numbers,
''Spielmannslied" and 'Noch sind die Tage
der Rosen." both by Spicker-in English.
THE Minstrel's Song and "Life's SPRING
time" Both were encored. "Adagio Re-
~ligioso," by Becker, and 'Traeumerei." by
~Schumann, were rendered by the string
orchestra. The latter composition by Schu-
mann was rendered with true artistic skill.
1t is specially adapted for string instru-
ments, and was encored until the orchestra
repeated part of IT over again. The entire
chorus of ladies and gentlemen sang Got
enzug." by Kriegeskotten, with the accom-
paniment of the orchestra. The chorus
showed excellent training. and sang In a
pleasing manner. The soloist of the occa-
sion was Miss Emma F. Geyr, of st. Louis,
and she sang a selection from "Frei-
schuetz," by Weber. Miss Geyer possesses a
melodious soprano voice, which is-expres-
sive without any apparent effort. Her
high tones are especially noticeable for
their richness and clearness. Miss Geyr
responded to an encore. The ladies' chorus
sang die Maikoenigin" to the accompani-
ment of the orchestra in a charming man.
ner. after which .ne orchestra rendered
Chopin's "Trauermarsch." The last num-
Der on the programme was rendered by the
entire chorus. 1t was Weinzierl's "Liebes-
weben,'' or Love and Spring" In three
parts-'In the Ballroom, Spring Night and
a Finale" After the programme the chairs
were removed and dancing followed.

sylyanian who has been one of the lead
ing advocates Of free coinage of silver.
In fact, he is one Of the millionaires who

second place on the Bryan ticket. 1t is
one of the surprises that Mr.. Sibley is
reported to nave experienced a change of
views regarding the currency question. He
Is now satisfied that the Democrats should
drop the free silver issue and assist in

Day by day it becomes necessary for the
Aguinaldists to test more and more the
elasticity of their im~aginations in adhering
TO the George Washington smile. The fact
of the little spindle-legged Tagal running
always with his back to the foe mad it
hard to compare him at all favorably with
the two-hundred pound athlete who was
usually running in the other direction, but
the latest coup of the brave Filipino leader,
going about disguised for the purpose Of
saving his own life and liberty, places such
tiles.

A gentleman of Brazil, Ind, has invented
a pistol and secured a patent thereon.
Without having seen the pistol sDe can
readily conceive what it's characteristic
ought to be. A popular weapon of that
sort would be one that would show from
the outside whether it was loaded. and
would absolutely refuse to be discharged
unless pointed at a burglar or at the idiot
who was playfully pulling the trigger to
prove that it wasn't loaded. Such a gun
would be rightly named the foolkiller's
auxiliary, and would be a boon to gun
scared humanity.

SENATOR JOHNSON's VIEWS.
He Tells why the Glass Factories
Have Been Closed So Long.

Senator Lafayette Johnson, of Anderson.
was at the Denison yesterday and an
nounced that he would not be a candidate
for denomination for the reason that he
was too poor a man to be in politics" He
said all the glass workers had been idle
since last June owing to the fact that the
capacity of the glass mills is far greater
than the demand for glass. All the fac
tories. he said, were to start up Dec. 81.
He said 1t was obvious that something
would have to be done to regulate the out
put so that the glass workers would not be
compelled to be- idle six months of the
year. He thought that as very little glass
ware was exported from this country some
relief might be afforded by the opening OF
foreign markets.

Col. w. w. Huffman, of Anderson, who
is said to be managing Col. w. L. Durbin's
campaign, was at the Denison yesterday.
In connection with the Anderson visitors
1t was said that either Colonel Huffman
or ]. c. Teegarden would make the race
for a place on the state committee. as it
was felt by the Republicans of Madison
county that such a selection would do
more than anything else to complete the
healing of the sores left by the internal
fight thai split the party in Madison coun-
ty in. 1898. Mr.. Teegarden in speaking of
this said that almost all of the ill feel
ing resulting from this fight had disap-
peared and Madison. county might be
looked to for a largely increased Repub-
lican vote in 1900.

State Lincoln League Convention.

]. c. Teegarden. an attorney and politi-
clan Of Anderson, was in the throng around
the Denison corridors yesterday. He said
that although the final arrangements had
not been completed for the annual meeting
of the State Lincoln League at Ander-
son i'm February there was every reason
to believe that the affair would be a sue
cess. He said the banquet would probably
be held in a different building from that of
the meeting and that it was probable that
the Anderson Hotel would be chosen as
the place for the banquet. The hotel will
be arranged to seat 500 people by tearing
out the fixtures in the billiard room and
setting the tables in their place.

thirteen of keeping our word to give a ma
jority of 5000 in Grant county for the Re
publican ticket at the last election, but this

will give a majority of $500. During the
last year Marion had the most substantial
growth of any period since its foundation.
Our postmaster had his carriers make a list
of new buildings in the city, and, basing
our calculations on this list, We believe We
have an increase in population of 2.400.'
Regarding Frank Jones's candidacy for the
state se~cretaryship, Mr.. Bradford said that
no active effort was being made to secure
the place, and that If 1T was found that Mr..
Jones was not wanted he would not be a
candidate.
