THE HIGGINS ORDINANCE.
Measure VIII Probably Not Pass the

1t is said there is little hope of Council
man Higgins's ordinance. introduced in the
Council Monday night. being passed. 1t is
an ordinance concerning the regulation Of
the business of selling malt liquors in
greater quantities than five gallons and fix
ing the annual license fee to be paid by
persons engaged in such business in the
city and within four miles of the corpora
ton limits. The principal objection to the
ordinance seems to be against the second
section. The most important sections of
the ordinance are as follows:

mon Council of the city of Indianapolis,
Ind, That to the end that all persons en-
gagged i'm the business of selling malt

cept that the territory within four miles
from the corporate limits of said city shall,
for the purposes of this ordinance, be at
tached TO the districts TO which it is con-
tiguous.
Sec. 2. 1t shall be the duty of every
person who. as owner, agent or other rep

cuss plans for the carnival to be held in

quested to attend. Mr.. MCGOWAN said
OF the carnival on the scale that has been
outlined. Those present at the meeting
pledged nearly $1,000. and the remainder
will be subscribed within a few days.
The carnival this fall will be on a paral-
lei with the famous Mardi Gras carnivals
held at New Orleans and the carnival Of
Yelled Prophets at st. Louis. The board
of monument regents yesterday consented
TO Monument Place being used for the fes-
tivities. and the. monument will be deco
rated in a more elaborate manner than
during the G.. A. r. and K. of =. encamp-
ments. There will be numerous grotesque
and historical parades and the carnival
will conclude with a grand ball on the
last night.
ID. NJ. Parry was elected president OF the
Fall Festivities Society for the first year.
and a meeting will be held this afternoon,
at which the various committees will be

big carnival.

X FOR STATISTICS

OF VARIOUS CITIES.
Clerk Davis Sends TO Them for In.
fOrmatiOn-The Waste Paper

Edward II. Davis, clerk Of the Board Of
Safety, is preparing a letter to be sent to
various cities, namely, Buffalo,. Louisville.
Columbus, o.. Kansas City. st. Paul. Mil
waukee. Toledo. Detroit, Pittsburg,
Rochester. N. Y, Albany, N. Y, and New
Haven, Conn.,, asking. the city officials to
send statistics of the population of their
cities and fire equipment. together with the
number of fremen employed. Davis gave
the number of fremen employed in Indian
apolis. and set out the fire equipment in
this city for comparison with cities of
nearly the same population. This is done
il is believed. to make another effort TO in
duce the Council to pass an ordinance for
q BONO issue to improve the fire depart
ment.
T. NJ. Goodloe, of the Fire Underwriters
Association. claims the fire insurance rates
will be increased in the city, since the
Council killed the ordinance providing for
a bono issue to improve the fire depart
ment. Republican councilmen say they do
not believe the insurance rates will be in
creased to such an extent as Mr.. Goodloe
claims. They say he is a particular friend
OF Mayor Taggart's and will use the OPP
~portunity for increasing the insurance rates
as political capital against the Republicans
because they were instruments in defeat
ing the bond ordinance in order to keep
the city within it's bonded Indebtedness.

STUCK MEYER HAPPY.
He Was willing to Accept a Ten
Year Eranchise.

The happiest man in Indianapolis yester-
day by all odds was Charles H. Stuck
meyer, and he had just cause to be in such
a state of mind, for his contract with the
Board of Public Works granting the In
dianapolis Clean-street Company a twenty
years franchise was ratified by the Coun-
Gil. Mr.. Stuckmeyer was a frequent caller
at the city offices. and passed cigars
around 10 his friends. Mr.. ~Stuckmeyer
was more than pleased because the Council
had noI reduced the term of years for
which the franchise was to run. He evil
IDENTIFY thought the franchise would be re-
duced from twenty to ten years. for he
made the statement that he would have
gone before the Council on Monday night
and told the members that he would be
willing TO accept "A ten-year franchise,
were they of opinion that IL should be re-
duced. He will perfect his plans in the
near future for the erection of the waste
paper boxes.
A question has been raised as to the
validity of the contract, and il is claimed
the city has no power to grant an individ-
ual or corporation the right to obstruct the
streets. and sidewalks with litter boxes for
private gain. There has been some talk
of carrying the matter to the courts.

The Real Token of Genius.

A gentleman narrates that while sitting
in a railway car some years ago the train
stopped at Concord. Mass. In the seat di-
rectly in front OF him were two elderly
men, good types of the shrewd. blunt. New
England farmer. Looking out of the win
dow, one remarked TO the other: This
Is Concord"
II believe it's where that Teller Emerson
lives was the answer.
Yes" said the first. land I'm told that
in spite OF all his pecooliarties he's a man
OF considerable property"
This estimate OF a great mans real
worth was not SO far out of the way after
all. Genius is admirable. but genius with
out some sort OF property ownership may
be deplorable. Great gifts are useless IL
they cannot ala the owner to care for his
family, both while he lives and after he
has gone. Any man. for instance, can
possess that strongest piece of property
a life insurance policy. If a man of but
mediocre attachments he will thereby have
added to his power and Abilities; ~ a
genius. will have increased his capacities
and given greater scope to his fine. natural
