An EXTENSIVE ADDITION
Being Made to The Indiana Mineral
Springs (Iudiana) Hotel
AT AN OUTLAY OF $4,000,
Growth of Enterprise Representing Eek
penditure OF S2BO.OOO-Success-
full Management of
ii. l.. Kramer.

Ten years ago the ground where the
magnificent hotel property of the lndi-
ana Mineral Springs Company is locat-
ted at Indiana Mineral Springs, In
diana was wholly unimproved and al
most wilderness. Now, owing to the
discovery of the valuable medicinal
qualities of the springs and the heal
ing virtue of the soil itself. together
with the enterprise of Major H. l..
Kramer, there Is located there one OF
the finest santariums in the United
States. The natural picturesque sur
roundings have been made more at
tractive and the hotel is a model OF
comfort and elegance.
For the greater accommodation OF
guests who come in constantly increas-
ing numbers from every section of the
United States, arrangements have now
been made for the enlargement of the
hotel buildings. The contract was let
yesterday by Major Kramer for addi-
lions that will cause an outlay of over
$50 1000. The improvements will consist
of new bath house and an addition
to the hotel. The addition will be two
stories in height and will occupy a
ground space S0X160 feet. 1t provides
forty additional guest chambers. The
entire addition will be handsomely
and elegantly furnished. The bath
house, when completed will be the
finest in the United States
Besides the bath house and the
guest chambers there will be on the
first floor dining hall, music room,
billiard hall, physicians offices and
a barber shop. In connection with the
bath house there will be ladies and
gentlemen's dressing rooms and cool
ing rooms. The dressing and cooling
rooms will be deliberately decorated
and the floors will be laid in white
tile. In both cooling rooms will be
built large ornamental fire places
which will be used for heating pur-
poses in addition to the regular steam
heating. The work will be entirely
completed in 80 days.
The Improvement and the entire ar
rangements of the hotel and grounds
are made, keeping in view the artistic
effect of the whole. and when the i'm
provements arranged for are complet-
ed the hotel and surroundings will be
much more attractive than before.
Major Kramer states that still fur
ther addition to the hotel is contem-
plated, and that plans are now being
prepared for an additional Structure
to contain $50 rooms for guests.
Already a quarter of million dol
lars has been expended on the In
diana Mineral Springs enterprise and
under the present management greater
growth and development in the future
Is assured. Daily Ledger.

COMBINATION STREET CAR.

Government and the Lobster.

Congress has just appropriated the
sum of $1,000 to pay for an investiga-
ton of the lobster. The trouble with
him is that he is getting scarcer and
scarcer every year, and unless some
thing is done about it. it is obvious
that he will soon become practically
extinct, so far as any commercial use
fulness on his part is concerned. What
the government wants to know is the
reason why Holsters are diminishing
in numbers and what measures may
be taken to put stop to the mischief.
During the last five years more than

by the fish commission and planted"
in New England waters. The cost OF

young Holsters is about $4,000, says

The Labor Problem.

The labor question in its practical
phases was never before so carefully
thought over as at present, both by
employers and employees and also by
political economists, who in recent
years have dropped their straw-stuffed
man for the real one, and in doing so
have given a new lease of life to the
dismal science" In the practical
sphere one of the best illustrations Of
the changed conditions brought about
by what some writer's on economics
call the "moralized labor contract Is
to be found in what the Germans call
welfare institutions" such as those
great Krupp steel works and a few
other establishments. These welfare
institutions" embrace pension funds,
model houses, restaurants, hospitals,
schools, savings banks, ETC., by which
the good of the employees is conserved
by setting in operation for them of
intelligent effort on the part of their
employers. This, of course, largely
depends upon the philanthropic CHAR
acter of the chief employers as well
upon a deeper sense of moral obliga-
tions as to the labor contract than
those which usually prevail. Such in
stitutions seem to have more of hope
in them for the solution of the labor
question than profit-sharing, which,
Notwithstanding some conspicuous
successes in England, such as that of
the Bourne cotton mills, in Tiverton,
under Mr. Chase's management, and
a few instances in this country, does
not seem on the whole to have proved
a success.

Strange Money.

1.-THE strangest money i ever saw,
said a commercial traveller to wash
ington Star reporter the other day,
was in the mountain districts of Ken
lucky and West Virginia. Early last
spring | was making my semi-annual
tour through this region, and stopped
one morning at little grocery store
and saloon, not to sell goods, but to
get a drink of the mountain dew
While | was pouring out my drink
big, husky mountaineer entered the
place and called for a drink AS he
finished gulping it down he reached
into a large pocket and drew forth
what looked to be a coonskin, and,
opening a drawer, hauled out rabbit
skin, which he offered as change. The
mountaineer picked up the skin and
started to the front part of the store,
which was the grocery department.
He there bought twist of plug tobac-
coand rendered the rabbit skin in pay
ment He received big twist of long
green, and | was surprised to see the
storekeeper reach in another drawer
and tender him a squirrel skin. The
mountaineer tucked the squirrel skin
in his pocket, walked out, unhltched
his horse, and rode away. l became
interested and engaged the proprietor
in conversation. He told me that some
times he would go months without see
ing any real money, and that the
mountaineers used the skins in all
kinds of trades, such as buying pro-
visions, horses etc. He said that four
times year hide buyer from Lex
ington or Cincinnati visited the coun-
try and bought up all the skins, which
were generally concentrated in the few
stores in the vicinity. But of all the
queer financial transactions l have
ever known" continued the drummer,
