But They Were Tears of Joy and Well

While the mystery of the telephone is
as yet but imperfectly understood. two
women were recently made to feel how
great a comfort TO feminnity il may be
made. A few days ago a thoughtful hus-
band decided to give his wife a novel sur
prise on her birthday. He arranged that
az a certain moment her mother whom
she had not seen for Il couple Of years,
should be nj the l0ng-distance telephone
office in Philadelphia and should ring
No" her daughter in this city. The hus-
band answered the telephone bell when it
rang in his house and answered the pre-
arranged call Turning from the instru-
ment he said to his wife
Helen. here's your mother on the wire
in Philadelphia.
The wife seated herself ut the iuatru-
mcnt and heard the familiar voice Of her
mother. 1t uttered one word. ''Daugh-
ter" The young matr0n gripped the in
strument and poured ont her heart in
the response: oh, mother. mother"

mother that came over the wire, she an

Poor Year for scaIpers.

The year 1900. in it's results, cannot be
satisfactory to the ticket scalper. The gen.
eral passenger agents have seemingly de-
termined TO menace them on all sides and
are using every effort to drive them out
of business. Until now the interchangeable
mileage book has been so ironclad that they
can get but little use out of ii. The failure
or Congress last year to pass the bill to
prevent scalping tickets gave them som }
encouragement, but the efforts are being
renewed, and with such earnestness that
for them to do business with any pleasure
o.. good financial results is quite difficult
General passenger agents of indianapolis
lines who in former years sought favor with
the scalpers are now seemingly the most
earnest in opposition. The Central Traf-
fic Passenger Association so often tested
the market that the weak lines or the
strong ones that in quiet manner worked
with scalperJ or allowed them to handle
tickets have given them a cold shoulder.
Every year the number becomes less. To-
day indianapolis has but two scalping Of
fees that make much pretention to do bust
ness, and but for the large number of ex-
cursions from which they get the return
part of excursion tickets they would have
a hard time to make both ends meet.

IN THE LOCAL COURTS.
A Brief in the Higgins Cnse-New
Suits Filed.

Councilman John NJ. Higgins, who is now
serving time in the Michigan City Peniten-
tiary, is working in the prison shirt
factory. He was formerly janitor of the
chair factory. Chief Clerk Whitaker. of
the prison, was in the city yesterday,
drawing the monthly allowance for the
prison. and said Higgins is improving in
health.
Henry N. Spaan. Higginss attorney, now
has his brief in the press that will be sub
mitted to the Supreme Court. 1t says
Judge Afford, of the Criminal Court, erred
in admitting the evidence of Joseph G.
Schaf. of the American Brewing Company
and Walter Carpenter, official stenographer.
who took the grand jury evidence against
Higgins. Schaf testified that Higgins ap-
preached him in a saloon and offered to
take care of an ordinance taxing brew
cries. Span argues that evidence OF an
other crime should not have been admis-
sible. The testimony OF an official stem
ographer, Span argues, Is not admissible
except when the testimony OF deceased
witness is desired. He points out that
there were six available members OF the
grand jury who could have been called
instead OF the stenographer. He also says
the court erred in not sustaining his. mo-
ton to quash the second count of the in
dictment upon which Higgins was con-
victed on the ground that 1T did not say
that 1t was Higgins's intention to vote for
the ordinance when he is alleged to have
solicited the bribe. The brief closes by
saying all that wrongfully affected the
oredibility CT his client was ruled out Of
court.

The cold wave which for some days has
been expected and predicted by the weather
bureau for previous arrival came in yes
terday morning for participation in the
numerous ..Watch-night" services. The
wave was quite c)nsiderate and did not
show its strength until most of the bust
ness of the day had been transacted. At
O'Clock yesterday morning its register
ing apparatus showed IL had not reached
the freezing point. but as IL was only one
degree above 1t, people generally We're I'M
able TO appreciate the difference.
A hearty breakfast. and bracing wind
which sprang up. led the wave to show
what II could do. and the temperature
gradually dropped. until at o'clock last
night II had reached point indicated on
the fhermometor as fifteen degrees below
the freezing point. and with every indica-
ton that its qualities Of endurance were
not srnaiI and barring accidents it would
null the mercury down TO zero. The rain
and snow OF the last two days caused n
moist temperature, which. with the colo
wind. increasing In strength gradually dur
ing the day, made the day particularly dis
agreeable, though IL Is doubtful IL the cold
err and fresher air was not more agreeable
TO everyone than was the cold and damp
ness and sloppy streets or the last two
days The cold brought small fiurries OF
snow or frost crystals. which continued un-

1t did There were numerous visitors, both
Elks from other lodges and others from
out of the c.ty. Ats1 o'clock IL was quietly
passed about IF an Elk don't know how,
who does?" The assembly room, as George
AIDE says, Cooked the part" A table thirty
by six feet was strewn with the remnants OF
an ample lunch, and about the room were
innumerable water bottles and glasses.
The programme, which was announced by
two pictures, was followed with one ex-
ception to the letter. There were speeches
by Mark HogIe, OF Grand Rapids; James
MahoRey, of Seymour, and representatives
of the lodges of Connersville and Evans
Vile and by John Mann, Emil Fertig, j.
Donahue Bert Feibleman, James +. Quig-
ley, George r. Golfer, Sam Perrott and
others of the Indianapolis lodge: musical
selections by members and a number of
vaudeville turns by performers from the
shows at the Grand and the Empire thea

were ordered for "a a. m, approaching
from the north" but by o'clock the lodge
room was cleared of all but janitors.

OBSERVED BY THE CLUBS
ENJOYABLE PROGRAMMES At GER
MAN HOUSE AND MAENNERCHOR.
A Vaudeville Entertainment at the
Former-Beauty of MaennerchOr's
Programme.

The New Years eve festivities at the
German House last night were attended
by nearly one thousand people. The prin-
cipal event of the evening was a comic
vaudeville entertainment and the big audi
torium i'm which 1T was given was CON-
pletely filled with an admiring and ap-
plauding audience. Nearly every one pres
ent was attired in full evening dress, the
women presenting a charming spectacle in
their evening toilets.
The performance began promptly at
o'clock and concluded on the stroke of
II. The performers names had been pur-
posely kept secret and the revelation Of
their identity added much to the mirth
of the occasion. Among the members on
the programme which appealed most to
the risibilities of the audience was a laugh
able sketch by Ryan and Taylor. whose
names appeared on the programme as SCOT
and Snough; the Boss Stock Show, by Herr
Angler and others; the Illustrious PORTER,
by Him-Him being no other than Harry
Porter. a well-known member of the Ger
man House.
AS a grand finale to the vaudeville en-
tertainment Immediately on the stroke of
II o'clock the curtain was raised on a
beautiful set stage. in the center of which
hung in glowing electric lights the motto
OF good cheer, ''Prosit, Neu Jahr." After
refreshments had been served the auditor
ium was cleared of chairs and table and
the rest of the night was spent IN dancing.
