mer-Corridor Gossip.

eff 1t comes from Indiana It's all right"
said Edward w. Box the editor of the
Ladies' Home Journal. who arrived at the
Bates yesterday afternoon. 1.-THE eyes Of
every publisher in the East are on the au-
thors of Indiana and there is constant
and increasing demand for their work.
Why Is this SO? Well. chiefly because they
live close to their soil and there is a dis
tinctive and truly American type in this
State. What the publishers want are
stories that bring readers closer to human
ity The stories which are sought after
now are those which convey a message to
the public. Indiana authors have the
faculty of getting close to nature and hui
mainly and their messages are in demand.
ut is not true that publishers cater to a
clique of well-known authors, or. If that
was ever true. the day is past. Inc best
proof of this is that Booth Harrington
walked into Philadelphia without influence
of any kind. He had a story true to nature
and it was accepted. Mr.. Westcott, the au-
thor of David Harum," was without infiu-
ence, but he had a story of human interest
and he found a demand for it. If it were
true that there was a sentiment in favor of
prominent authors, 1t would not be neces-
sary for me to maintain a manuscript de-
partment in my paper at a cost of thou
sands of dollars each year Last year Il, 900
manuscripts were examined in this depart
ment, and Of this number only per cent
were accepted. But this was worth the
expenditure for 1t brought out new au-
thors and new ideas.
You have some wonderful talent right
here in Indiana, and you need not look for
pearls In the East. You have Riley Tark-
ington, Major, George AIDE, Foulke, Arm
prominent publisher in the East who is not
watching Indiana more than any other
State, simply because it is full of promise
and because of the distinctive type Of the
work turned out.
II am here on a purely pleasure trip to
see Mr.. Riley and Mr.. Harrington in their
homes. i come to Indianapolis and Detroit
for pleasure because they are my favorite
cities. 1t is a relief to man engaged In
the grind of money-making to get close to
such students of human nature Riley. /
went out to his home to-day to see him on
business, but he talked to me about types
in Indiana and told such quaint interest
ing stories Of his studies of the people Of
his State that came away without speak
ing a word of business. L was SO wrapped
up In what / heard MIN say that / felt
ashamed to discuss business with the man.
MIR. Frank Doubleday is with me. He
withdrew from the firm Of Doubleday &

self with Walter A. Page, formerly editor

night in the person Of Miss E. e. Petit

impressive air of business about her. She

contempt for the interest she excites, In
brief she is dignified without being swag-

expedition set out under the command of

NEwLY-MARRIED TRAVELLERS
Take Up Their Residence at the Den
ison for Awhile.

Two newly-married travelling men and
their brides located in indianapolis yester-
day by engaging apartments at the Deni-
son for the winter They are W. R. Jordan,
salesman for Marshall Field & Co., of
Chicago. and E. E. Williams, a salesman
for Boston mill supply house Both were
married within the last few days, and in
Mr.. Williams's case his bride joined him
here last night.
1t would have been useless for Mr.. VIII
liams to have sought to conceal the new
ness of his condition, for when he went
to the desk TO register he was handed a
bill of lading, indicating that three bar
rels of wedding presents from Boston
awaited him at the freight depot his mail
was also voiuminous and of the congratu-
latory sort.
There is an interesting story connected
with Mr.. Jordan. He started to work for
his present employers several years ago
without money or influence. but, during his
early connection with the firm, he formed
the acquaintance of young man who was
a confirmed invalid and during his spare
time devoted himself to his friend. He did
not at that time know the young man was
wealthy. and at his death was surprised
10 learn that he had been made his heir
to the extent Of $4,000. He kept both his
money and his position and both have
grown materially since then.

Warning I'm the Choir.

Ian Maclaren, I'm Ladies' Home Journal
RumoIs reach ones ears that the power
of uuarreling within certain church choirs
can only be exceeded by the high spirit of
a body of IRISH patriots. and that there is
almost nothing SO trivial and invisible but
that it will set choir by the ears. 1t may
be the place in the stall, or the singing
of a particular part, or a correction of
the chorister, or a remark dropped by one
of the choir-so tender are the feelings of
a chorister-anything, or for that matter,
nothing, will hurt. He will sulk. or make
unpleasant remarks, resign, or drive
some other persons out, and then on some
great occasion all the members Of the
choir will resign and take themselves so
seriously that the event will be considered
equal in interest to a war Upon the whole

for it gives stimulus TO the artistic temper

ALLEN w. CLARK IN TOWN.
He Still Pins His Faith to Bryan and
Free Silver.

Allen w. Clark, of the Democratic ma
tional committee, was at the Grand last
night while on his way to Chicago, where
he is now located. In discussing the out
look for the Democratic party he said:
There is no doubt about the nomination
of William J. Bryan for the presidency,
for silver is stronger issue now than it
has been at any time since the last presi-
Dental election. This condition is due to
the Boer war and the various complica-
tons we are in ourselves. for these things
have made it apparent to everyone that
the gold basis is too small one on which
to transact the business OF The country.
The great expansion of trade has brought
on scramble all over the world for gold
and the result will be panic. Then again
public attention is attracted to the free
silver issue by the attempt, which 1 feel
will be successful. of Congress to fasten
the gold standard on the country abso-
lutely and permanently. 1t has ser the
people to thinking, for it was only during
the last session of Congress that even the
Republican leaders were afraid to take
up such a matter.
1.-The nomination of Mr.. Bryan undoubted-
ly means the adoption of the Chicago plat
form, with the addition of planks against
trusts and expansion. The party will take
ueclueu Stdliu against Trusts Dy declaring
in favor of laws to prevent discrimination
| in trade of every description and against
watered stocks and bonds in all corpora
tons. Mr.. Bryan has prepared the matter,
| the substance of of which will define his
| position with relation to the Industrial
welfare of the country and its foreign pol
| icy.
There is no doubt about the reelection
| of Senator Jones as chairman of the COM
mittee Chairman Cook, of the ways and
means committee, has resigned to go to
Missouri to begin his campaign for the
secretaryship of State.
Il do not think Chicago will get the ma
tional convention, as there does not seem
| to be any concerted effort to that end
! Milwaukee and Kansas City are both after
| it hot, but 1t looks as though Milwaukee
We're putting in the best ticks. Mayor
Rose, of that city, is a great convention
boomer and has put his own personality

NONPAA MENT OF ALIMONY
Brings John w. Fredericks Into
Court, but He Was Not Held.


John w. Fredericks, who has figured con-
spicuously in the divorce courts of this
county, was before Judge feathers, of the
Superior Court, yesterday on the charge of
failing to carry out an order of the court.
Fredericks has been divorced three differ
emit times. The third time he was in court
on divorce business, but his two former
wives were there to testify in the case. On
this occasion he was granted a divorce, but
his wife was given the custody of their
child, and Fredericks was ordered to pay
for its support. The case was tried by
Smiley n. Chamber as special judge. Mrs.
Fredericks taking a change of venue from
Judge feathers.
1t seems that Fredericks has failed to pay
the last quarterly installment for the sup
port Of his child, and he was brought into
court yesterday to show cause why he
should not be punished for contempt. His
attorney, Horace Z. Smith, raised the
question of the courts jurisdiction. He
held that as Judge feathers had not tried
the divorce case he could not legally in
quire into Frederickss conduct now. Judge
feathers decided that the point was well
taken, and Fredericks was discharged.
