A few days ago ". H.. Armstrong, pres
ldent of the board OF trustees of the In

from Fred w. Atkinson. superintendent of

some OF the more promising Fflipinos, so
that they may come in contact with Ameri-
can social. commercial and political Gus
toms and usages The plan suggested is to
select from the better class of teachers
those who know some English, and 20 ar
range for them in connection with some
normal school a years course OF practical
study and observation. Mr.. atkinson stated
that the government will probably furnish
free transportation for the FilipinOs thus
sent over. and concludes by asking the In
diana. State Normal School to furnish free
tuition 10 such OF them as were sent TO this
State.
Mr. armstrong yesterday forwarded Mr.
Atkirs sons letter to Attorney General Tay-
Tor. with a request for an opinion IN the
matter.
In replying 10 Mr.. Armstrong Mr.. Taylor
gave IL as his opinion that while the ptr-

A TAILOR STORE ROBBED
ORANGE YOUNG, A COLORED MAN,
ARRESTED In LOUISVILLE.
He Had Been Employed by Norbert
Landgraf-Valuable Goods
Recovered.

The police of Louisville yesterday asked
the local department for information con-
corning Orange Young, colored, who had
been arrested there Wednesday with a lot
of made-up garments and cloth for mems
garments. He claimed to nave come from
this city. 1t was found that he had for
merly been a porter at Norbert Landgraf's
tailor store. Detectives Asch and Morgan
went to his home, on ave-
nue., last night, and there found about $500
worth Of cloth and garments which it is
thought were stolen.
Landgraf went to Louisville yesterday
and identified q portion of the stock found
in Young's possession. His plan, according
to the detectives, was to steal the cloth and
then have it made up, afterward selling the
garments. His wife protested against the
search of the house and almost led the Off
GERS to believe the proceeding would be
useless, when a closet under the stairway
was opened n q number of boxes, such
as tailors send out finished suits in, were
found. In the collection were a number Of
suits and parts of suits which had been
worn and probably had been left at some
shop for pressing or repairs. The amount
of goods found necessitated the use of a
light wagon for transportation to head
quarters.

the host of friends of Mr.. Reynolds in this

until the season ended. Dec. 10. During his
many weeks of association with the stock
company Mr.. Reynolds has portrayed a
large number of roles, principally light
comedy, and established a fine reputation
by his excellent work. There will no doubt
be a large audience at the Grand to-mor-

TAGGART CAMPAIGN LEVY.
Controller Johnson Talks of the City's
Financial Condition.

City Controller Johnson said yesterday
the tax levy for 1900 should nave been at
least IL cents higher to have paid the run
ming expenses of the city for the current
year. The levy was 50 cents, one cent of
which went to the firemen's pension fund.
The levy should nave been at least 20
cents. This additional levy, had 1t been
provided, would have brought the city
about $780, 900, which would nave been suffi-
cient TO pay the debts for November and
December. Under the 59-cent levy the con-
troller was forced to ask the City Council
at the last meeting to appropriate Sl47, 900
to pay S147,672.4 40, the estimate of the short
age this year. hat amount shows h
the city Is short, owing TO the Scent levy,
but on the first of the year the city will
begin business with all debts paid except
the bonded Indebtedness. The loan to be
made this month, however, will have to be
paid out of next years revenue This will
cause a shortage next year, but not as
great, Mr.. Johnson believes, as is on the
books this year. He said attempts will be
made to get a bill through the Legislature
TO provide for a sinking fund Of probably
o%ne-quarter Of a cent, and should this pass
the temporary loans can be paid and also
money secured to prevent the city from
running into debt.

IL Is extremely doubtful whether this re-
gard should be strictly confined to that
race. The nnua 'possum Dime OF the
'"Possum Club of Eli Lilly & Co. was
given last evening. At s o'clock the full
membership OF the club assembled at the
Ardmore cafe and proceeded to do ample
justice TO a 'possum dinner. The dinner
was enlivened by choice music furnished by
Catalano. the harpist, and by the time
cigars were reached each member OF the
club was in the humor TO contribute his
share toward the entertainment of the club
as a body, and the responses TO the nu-
merous toasts proposed We're well received.
The officers elected for the ensuing year
were Mr.. w. c. Jones, president. and Mr..
j. Il. Woolsey, secretary.

Use of smoke Consumers.

City Controller Johnson discussed the
smoke consuming ordinance yesterday aft
ernoon, but would say little concerning
Building Inspector Bedells connection
with the manufacture Of a smoke con-
sumner. Mr.. Johnson says the owners OF
big buildings and factories in the city
should hold a meeting and endeavor to
arrive at an understanding, as the law will
be enforced. Mr.. Johnson said there are
several large buildings in the heart of the
consumers at once and he believed the per-
sons who suffer from this smoke emitted
from the large smoke stacks could recover
damages from the owners of the buildings
If smoke consumers are not used.

announced that w. j. Bryan has said he
knows nothing of the movement to organize
a new political party as stated by c. NJ.
Walter. secretary of the middle-of-the-road
Populist state committee. This is probably
correct since Mr.. Walter In his announce

conference yesterday afternoon concerning
the natural gas supply for the City Hos

amounting to about $500. 1t is claimed the

money in the treasury TO pay IL. A special
meeting Of the City Council may be called
to appropriate this money and then the
city will be in a position to demand more
gas from the gas company.

THE COST OF ALCOH0L
SPENCER WANTS
TO AVOID THE REVENUE.
The City Hospital Has Been Paying
S2.45 a GaIIon-City's Finances
Municipal Affairs.

Superintendent NJ. ]. Spencer, of the City
Hospital, called on Secretary Clark. OF the
City Board of Health. yesterday afternoon
TO discuss a plan whereby the city Will
make a great saving each year on the pur-
chase Of alcohol for use at the City Hos
pital. Superintendent Spencer said he was
now paying s2.45 a gallon for alcohol. and
on an average the hospital uses about three
gallons a week throughout the year, using
more during the winter months, when the
medical colleges are in session. on account
of the clinics held at the hospital. The
school for nurses at the hospital also re-
quires large quantities of alcohol.
DR.. Spencer says he has inquired into the
question OF revenue on alcohol, which is 81
a gallon, and has ascertained that there is
a provision In the law which provides that
institutions such as city hospitals. where
clinics and schools for nurses are held, shall
be exempt from the revenue tax on alcohol.
superintendent Spencer says he will confer
with the federal authorities and Sc. II he
cannot have the tax on alcohol for the hos
pital eliminated, which would mean a saw
ing Iof 81 a gallon on the alcohol purchased
for the hospital. Superintendent Spencer
said since he has been in charge at the
hospital, about six weeks, he has purchased
twenty gallons of alcohol, and had he been
able TO secure it without having to pay
revenue the city would have saved $40.
superintendent Spencer also called on
City Controller Johnson, and said he had
expended nearly the entire $1,000 which was
appropriated by the City Council for the
immediate use of the hospital in purchasing
supplies and making minor improvements.
The team of horses for the City Hospital
ambulance cost $275. These horses were not
purchased by advertising for bids, but Su-
perintendent Spencer personally inspected
several teams offered for sale, and Veteri-
nary Surgeon Greiner also inspected the
animals. Superintendent Spencer says the
money will soon be spent and the hospital
will be in much better condition. The beds
and bedding purchased with the money
provided in the appropriation are now in
use.
