Lieutenant Miller, Of This City, Will

when it enlisted Lieutenant Ralph Miller
last week.
Mr. Miller is the second son of Mr.. and
Mrs Timothy Miller, of this city, and Is
a high school graduate. He was an active
member of the Indianapolis Light Infantry
for eight years and was sergeant Of Com

Regiment, Indiana Volunteers. in the Span
ish-American war. His soldierly qualities
impressed his superior officers, who with
many leading men Of the city recommended
him for commission In the army. While
awaiting action on this application he was
tireless in reorganizing the indianapolis

THE MILLIONS FADED AWAY.
But Controller johnson Had Grown
Wise and Withdrawn.

e. M. Johnson, who is custodian of the
city's finances, ate big apple the other
afternoon and then became reminiscent.
The conversation took the channel of for
tunes made and lost in schemes and he
told the story of venture that was plant
ed in Indianapolis some time ago which
grew but never blossomed. man came
to town and had a scheme which would
revolutioniZe the entire world in forcing
water to high buildings and into the air.
His scheme was such a wonder that he
interested some of the leading business
men-men who OWE large wholesale firms
on South Meridian street-to take up the
matter. They jumped at 1t with one long,
dashing leap. Millions were in sight for
the investors and it only needed a few
thousands to carry the scheme through
and build the articles
A day was set for the trial Of the genius
simple apparatus. A hole was dug in the
ground and the little machinery put at the
end of a long pipe When water was
struck it shot into the air like a geyser.
That was all that was necessary to raise
the money for the capital stock, which
was placed at $15O.0OO. Subscriptions were
shares of stock. Pennsylvania street
merchant and a man now in his employ put
their money into the scheme. 1t looked to
be such a winner that they wanted to erect
a factory at once TO build the simple little
article, which would only cost small sum
to construct, but which would be put out
on royalties that would net millions. Mr.
Johnson was offered $500 worth of stock
If he would act as secretary of the cor
poration. He consented and then read vol
ume after volume of literature on hydraul-
les and other subjects pertaining to forcing
water upward against the law of gravita-
ton. He grew wise, and one day he sud-
denly announced that, owing to other BUSH
ness engagements, he would have to with
draw from the concern and offered his
stock for sale. 1t was taken in an instant
and he was given a check for $500 by a
man who wanted to get Immediately rich
by the scheme. There was no robbery
about the scheme in the least sense. The
man who thought he would set the world
a-buzZing had merely produced a hydraulic
ram, an article that had been used for
years. In a short time the scheme fell
through and the millions faded away as
rapidly a soap bubble bursts when a
pin is stuck into it,

HATPIN in HIS FLESH
A POLITE YOUNG SOCIETY MAN BE-
COMES A HUMAN PINCUSHION.
He Sat Through n Performance Suf-
fering Agony Rather than Cause
a Woman Embarrassment.

Perhaps the politest man in Indianapolis
is the one who sat through performance
at the Grand Opera house few evenings
ago, and served as a human pin cushion
rather than indicate to the woman behind
him that she had made mistake, and pos
slDly cause her some embarrassment.
The young man in question went to the
theater on this particular evening prepared
to enjoy the play and have a coy time
generally. He had scarcely got seated
when a well-dressed young woman came
in with her husband and they were ushered
to seats in the first row behind the young
man. The woman's chair was Immediately
behind his. She wore hat that was a
triumph of millinery and in accordance
with the rules Of the theater she removed
her hat She first drew from her hair a
long, shining hat pin. She laid the hat
aside and then reaching forward thrust
the pin into the back of the chair in
front Of her. The back of the chair was
a sort of cushion and the pin went in cas-
lily. Unfortunately at this moment the
young man Immediately in front was lean
ing back and he felt singing sensation
between the shoulders. Instantly he real
lied what had happened and he knew the
point of something very sharp had pune
tured his skin. But he was both game
and polite and aside from a slight shrug
of the shoulders and the brief spasm of
pain that passed over his features, there
was nothing to indicate that anything was
wrong with him. The woman, of course,
was blissfully ignorant of what she had
done and settled herself in her chair pre-
pared to enjoy the evening. The young
man in front of her sat literally pinned
TO the chair through the entire perform
ance and at the close he breathed a long
When he went home he found that the
pin had gone a sufficient depth to cause
the blood TO flow freely. Both the woman
and the game young man are well known
socially.

to eat hearty supper Returning to the

OF excitement to hurry away. but there was
the sermon-his days assignment he had
TO prepare Rushing through his work he
started to don his overcoat when the tele-
phone jingled merrily. The ring was music
TO the young mans ear for the button was
no doubt pushed by one in whom he had
an interest. He rushed to the phone ex-
pecting TO hear a gentle appeal for him
to hurry to her, but his co-workers saw
him turn pale when he hung up the receiv-
er. His end Of the conversation was this:
Cant come tonight. Why not?"
well, do you love him more than you
do me?''
HE only comes to the city once a
month"
And he dashed the receiver into its rack
and sat around the Office all evening, much
to the enjoyment of his fellow-workers.

THE POPULAR CONCERT.
A Large Audience Hears Il at Tom
Iinson Hall.

The bi-monthly popular Sunday concerts
given by the Indianapolis Military Band
are worthy of commentator. In the large
audience that listened to yesterday after
Moons programme could be seen many
young men who. but for the concert, would
perhaps have been more harmfully occu-
pied. OF the eight numbers on the pro-
gramme. six were given by the band OF
these. the we'll known poet and Peasant
(Suppe) overture. La Pyrotechnic" (Boos),
the descriptive Forge in the Forest
(Michaelis), and Hungarian Fantasia by
Moses were nicely interpreted. The ritards
and syncopated finale OF the latter compo-
sition could pot have been improved upon.
The same praise cannot be bestowed on
che Runaway Girl potpourri (Monch-

the heartiest applause and made an

ton of this little gem still in mind. the
performance OF it yesterday afternoon was
very ordinary and tame. This is not be-
cause the local organization lacks num-
bers or talent, but because the subject has
not been seriously studied.
The two soloists were Miss Lulu Fisher
soprano, and Miss Olive Killer, violinist
Miss Fisher sang Molloys Carnival very

happily disappeared before the conclusion
of the song. TO a well-merited encore she

concert, was marred by an aggravating
string that persisted in falling from pitch
and made few OF the cIimaxes out OF

control that was commendable and the nee

to her when che appeared for the encore

perfect and the theme exquisitely brought

played the piano accomplishments in his
usual sympathetic manner.

21st OF this month. and will include
