DRESSING THE NECK.

There has never been a time when
so much attention was paid to dress
ing the neck becomingly. The neck
wear this spring ia OF seemingly end
less variety. We have neckwear for
the street, for the theatre, for the
dance, for the links.
Lace collars, berthas and fichns
trimmed With lace are among the most
fashionable neckwear The fitted cape
collars that look like yolkes are ex-
ceedingly good investments. for they
can be worn with evening or day
gowns, and they certainly add a great
deal to the appearance Of plain waist.
One OF the novelties for the girl OF 1900
Is copied after the collar her grand
mother wore when she put on her best
gown and sat for her daguerreotype.
Some OF the fat lace collars are cut
sailor fashion, some In square tahs-
The newest are made OF mousseline de
sole. appliqued. with lace designs. but
the lace Is so arranged that but little
of the mousseline shows. HonIton,
renaissance and duchesse are the lacesf
most used for these koilars

OTHER SIDE OF THE CASE.
Made by OficiaIs of In
dianapolis Orphans Home.

The officials Of the indianapolis Orphans
Home say that admission was not denied
Mrs. Martha Kane when she asked to see
her baby, as she stated at the courthouse
Saturday. The baby was placed in the
home about three months ago and since
Nov. has been in a private family that
wishes to adopt it. Since its remova, from
the home Mrs. Kane has not been allowed
to see the baby in order that it might grow
up without knowing any other than Its
foster mother. The officials of the home
say Mrs. Kane told, when she asked to
have the child admitted. that her husband
was abusive and turned both herself and
child out of their home and that he had
not provided for them. 1t was upon this
representation that the officials say they
took the child and gave tho mother a
month to make up her mind II she wanted
her babe left there. AT the end or that
time the little girl was given to a private
family which is said to be one OF the best
families in Indianapolis. 1t was stated
that the family have become so attached to
the little one that they do not want to give
her up unless the courts so decide.
Saturday Mrs. Kane came to the court
house and asked about way TO get her
child. She said she had been induced by
her sisters to leave her husband without
cause, and also to give her baby to the or
phans home. The hearing for adoption
will be before Judge Walker, of the pro-
bate department, this morning.

TO PROTECT THE ORPHAN
PURPORT OF BILL TO BE INTRO.
DUCED BY c. C. PRITCHARD.
An Amendment to Present Law Pro-
viding Financial Aid for widows
Over Creditors Claims.

Representative c. c. Pritchard will prob
this winter designed to protect orphans
from creditors where estates are found to
be insolvent. In speaking of his bill re-
Gently Mr.. Pritchard said: 81 propose,
in my bill, to give to orphan children the
same benefit that the law does to widows
The present law gives the widow the right
to retain the sum Of $500 or its equivalent
ar the death of her husband, which may
not be claimed by creditors. The purpose
of this law is to give the widow the right
to provide for her children. My bill will
probably be in the shape of an amendment
and the purport of this amendment is to
give to orphan children, or children whose
mothers die before their fathers, the same
amount of money or its equivalent that
would go to the widow. 1t is evident, as
the purport of the law providing for the
widow was intended to assist her in rear
ing her children, that the same benefit
should be provided for the children in case
they were motherless at the fathers death.
Recently there came under my observa-
ton a striking case where orphans were
left penniless or almost so. The fathers
estate was settled up, paying creditors in
full and fee into the court. Cases like
this impress me with the Importance of
this amendment. Had the child-en's mother
been living the creditors would have had
to divide their claims with the widowed
mother, but as it was, in this case the
law made no provision for these children,
and they were left penniless. When / think
of a case like this il seems singular that
cur statutes have stood for many years
as they have on this question, foI surely
the purport and intent of the statutes
should be for the protection Of orphan
children.

Rev. A. L. Mellar preached at the
Seventh Day Adventist Church last night
from the text To- this have found, that
God hath made man upright; but they have
sought out many inventions" Fec. Vii, 20.
He said in part: "If a man ask the Lord
favors which are in the pathway of right
eousness, his prayer shall be granted an
hundred fold Solomon asked of the Lord
and He abundantiy blessed him. No man
was possessed of greater literary ability
than Solomon; there was no greater poet,
botanist or scientist. His wisdom has never
been equaled by any other man."
Continuing, Mr.. Mellar said that Solomon
had been especially endowed above his fell
low-men and that the general masses were
ignorant and unenlightened Little progress
has been made by the nations Of earth, he
said. until within the last century, and the
last hundred years had been a centennial
of wonderful advancement. He cited the
numerous inventions that were part of
the last century, spoke OF the wonderful
strides In education and of the spread of
Christianity and concluded by saying that
God was thus enlightening the world TO
let His children know that the day Of the
Lord was at hand.

nation to his superior officers.
Fire Chief Barrett said last night that
he had filed charges against Collins on the
recommendation of Captain Howard, of
Company 16 of which company Collins
was a member. He said the charges were
filed with the board last Friday and
charged Collins with INSTRUMENTATION. Chief
Barrett would not DISCUSS the charges
other than to say that he had been told
by Captain Howard that Collins refused to
work when told to do so.
Captain Howard was asked for an ex-
PLANTATION of the trouble and the charges,

ing that the matter would come out before
the Board of Safety.
1t is claimed that Collins had been drink

said TO be insulting, and he told the chief
that Captain Howard was evidently crazy
His suspension followed soon after. 1t is
also charged that Collins had claimed that
he did not fear being discharged from the

latter said last night that the matter was

ZION CHURCH FESTIVAL
CONGREGATION ENGAGES IN CELE-
BRATION AT TOMLINsON HALL.
A Christmas Tree, Special Programme
of Music and Tableaux-Other
Entertainments Announced.

Tomlinson Hall was crowded last night
with friends and members Of the congrega-
ton Of Zion Evangelical Church, the oc-
casion being the annual Christmas festival
by the Sunday school classes of that
church. The stage had been handsomely
arranged with scenery for the production
of the different tableaux, the principal one
of which was the reproduction Of "The
Birth of Christ" This scene was a pretty
piece of work. It showed the presence of
the angels Immediately after the appear
ance of the star telling the shepherds in
the fields of the birth of Christ and to
what place they should go to see Him. All
this was In color effect, the apparatus be-
ing loaned for the occasion from the Park
Theater by Messrs. Dickson & Talbot.
The programme began with a piano solo
by Miss Myrtle Chermurn, Of Knightstown.
She was followed by an address by the
pastor Of the church, Rev. Mr.. Peters. who
spoke in German. Following the address
of the pastor, Christmas hymn was sung
by the congregation. Mr.. Peters then de-
livered the invocation, after which there
was a song by the little childrens class.
Superintendent Louis Brandt next spoke,
and he, like the pastor spoke IN his native
tongue A cantata arranged by the choir
of the church was given, which was fol-
lowed by the regular Sunday school lesson
for the day. A number of the orphans
from the German Orphans Home. corner
Prospect and State avenue next responded
with song. Miss Rose Klee gave re-
citation in German.
During the course Of the one-act play
showing the Christmas treat given to poor
children by a wealthy young woman. who
had grown ILL., many songs were rendered,
among which especial mention might be
made of the song of Miss Mamie Patmann,
little twelve year-old girl who surprised
everyone present with her wonderful
talent. In every corner of the large hall
her voice could be heard distinctly. She
was apFlauded freely for her work.
At the conclusion of the tableaux Mr.
Peters again made short address, after
which there was a rumbling and jingling
noise announcing the arrival of Santa
Claus. This person proved to be Edward
Rahe. He rendered a song in German after
which he presented the superintendent of
the Sunday school Mr.. Louis Brandt with a
box of perfectos. Immediately after this
there was a hurrying and scrambling of
men dragging huge baskets filled with
boxes of candy and oranges which were
distributed among the children Of the audi
ence. Among the decorations for the stage
was the time-honored Christmas tree re-
splendent with lights and tinsel.
