His Subject Was ssThc Gentleman in
Literature

DR.. Quayle delivered a lecture at the
Gentleman in Literature" to an audience
that was large and appreciative. His refer
ences to many of the well-known charac-
tiers in literature were of a refreshing ma
ture, and the light which he threw on
them endowed them with a new sprightli-
ness and vitality. The student Of literature
was shown the virile human qualities that
exist in many of the characters of liter
allure, such as Don Quixote, Daniel De-
ronda. Henry Esmond John Halifax, Sid
ney Carton and others, and there is no
doubt that the lecture will cause many TO
read these stories with a deeper insight
and broader comprehension of their human
qualities.
DIR. Quayle, among other things, said:
I'VE don't know how big life is Till we live
it. We thinK of some things as merely
humorous and we laugh, and we think or
other things as sorrowful and we cry. But
human nature is deeper than mere appear
ances: Humor has its tears as Wen as sor-
row its laughter. There is a greater mean
ing in things than appear on the surface.
Shakespeare put greater things into the
lives of his characters than he knew or.
just as there are greater things In the
world than man knows of. And
Don Quixote was the first gentleman In
literature. He uttered no unclean word,
no shameless bombast, no
speech. A gentleman is a being of recent
times. and the gentleman in literature is
more recent still. There was no gentleman
I'm all the Homeric times. Dante did not
produce a gentleman because he did not
we'll know what a gentleman was. Shaks-
peare produced no gentleman; Hamlet was
the nearest approach. None of Dumas
characters were gentlemen. OF the Bible
characters Joseph was a gentleman; Moses
was lacking in only a few respects. The
greatest gentleman of all men was Jesus
Christ. Search all the history of the
ancient times, and the nearest approach
TO a gentleman was Cyrus the Great. n
man does not have to be a saint TO be a
gentleman. God does not want us to be
saints. He wants men. One man is worth
a bushel of saints. God wants manhood in
the world, and. If he does not get 1t, then
the worse il will be for us. There are only
three full-grown gentlemen in all literature
Don Quixote, Henry Esmond and King
Arthur"

READING THE NEW LAWS
A BATCH OF CONTRACTS, HOWEVER,
AWARDED UNDER THE OLD.
Works Board Secures an Opinion from
the City Attorney-Other Mu-
nicipal Affairs.

Chairman Sahm and Mr.. Mcguire, of the
Board of Works, and City Engineer Jeup
met in the private office of the board yes
terday afternoon and read the new laws
passed by the Legislature known as Nos.
q, %, y and 27S, which affect public i'm
rrovements in Indianapolis. Chairman
Sahm said the board desired to become
fsmiliar with the new laws, so as to pro.
coed legally in the future with contracts
to be let for Improvements. He stated hat
the new laws are only slightly different
from the former laws, but it Will be neces-
sary for the board to have new blanks
printed for the filing of petitions for i'm
provements. and also for bids for the work.
1t was a peculiar coincidence that five
sets of BIDS for improvements in the city
were opened yesterday. which was the last
cay set for the Governor to act on bills.
The board, however, secured an opinion
from the city attorney that it would be
legal for the contracts to be made, provid-
ing hey were signed under the old laws
before Governor Durbin signed the new
laws. The board acted accordingly and
made four contracts. Daniel Foley was
granted the contract for paving with brick
the first alley west of Meridian street, from
South street TO Henry street, a $1.6Sl2 per
iineal foot for each side of the alley; q. 5.
Roney was awarded the contract for con-
structing a main drain in Elder avenue,
from Washington to Mccormick street, at
81 cents per lineal foot; William BoSsert
secured the contract for constructing q
local sewer in Blackford street, from West
Washington street to a point 100 feet north
of Market street, at $1.5S per lineal foot;
G.. 5. ROney secured the contract for d
local sewer in Twenty-seventh street, from
Illinois street to the first alley east OF
Capitol avenue, at 76 cents per lineal foot.
The board rejected all bids for a local
sewer in Chesapeake street, from Missouri
street to Senate avenue, and rescinded all
former action. Chairman Sahm said the
beard desired 20 make the contracts under
the old law, as the property owners were
anxious TO have the contracts let, so as TO
prevent any delay In the matter.
Father Chartrand, of St. Joseph's Church,
was before the board with a petition for
the vacation of an alley from Fourteenth
street to the first alley running east and
west. The church owns the property on
both sides Of the alley, and wishes TO use
il as part of the site for a new catnedral.
The board received a remonstrance from
many property owners or Barth avenue
sgainst the proposed switch crossing that
street to the Bemis Bag C~ompany's factory.
j. II. ClaypoOl sent a communication 10
The board, urging the extension of the
Columbia-avenue car line on Martindale
avenue to Twenty-ifth street.

ANALYZED AS PURE BUTTER.
A yindicntion for Frank G.. Day, of
Union City.

Mr.. Frank G. Day. of the Hudson Prod
uce Company, of Union City, was advised.
yesterday, by telephone from Cincinnati.
that the sample of the consignment of but
ter seized by the revenue officers at Union
City, on suspicion OF being o~leomargarine,
and which was sent TO Washington, D.. c.,
for analysis, had been found 10 be pure
butter, and consequently the produce in
the plant at Union City, consisting of
about 5000 pounds of butter, was released,
and the firm will resume business. Accord
ing to Mr.. Day, the Hudson Company has
been the victim of a rival firm in this
matter, which has given false informa-
ton to the revenue officers, this being the
second attempt of the same nature. Mr..
Day is also very angry at the newspapers,
some of which published sensational ac-
counts of the affair, and which, he claims,
damaged his business to the extent of
thousands of dollars.

A w. R. C. DISCOVERY.
A Portion of the Christmas Fund I'm
accounted for Last Year.

When the state ncampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic was held in CO.
lumbus in May, 1895, after a heated de-
bate. the fund collected and set apart for
the Soldiers Orphans Home was turned
over 10 the Woman's Relief Corps for the
department, that ii might be safe, to use
the words of those who advocated the
change. During several years Assistant
Adjutant General Smock has used the ma
chinery of the department TO obtain COL
lections from the posts in the State, so
that the fund was accommodating. When
the change was made no further action was
taken by the Grand Army officials TO collect
money for the fund.
Some time in December word came from
tne headquarters Of the Woman's Relief
Corps TO officers OF the Grand Army that
during the previous year. when Mrs. Maria
/. Schlater was president, some portion
of this fund had been used to pay the
report spread from o to mouth, but
no definite facts could De obtained until
the journals OF the convention of May,
1900. were circulated. which contained the
report of the treasurer.
Several members OF both organizations
have called attention To the report. To a
Journal reporter a prominent member of
the w. r. c. said: ION Page a of the jour-
nal OF the convention the treasurer's re-
port begins. There It appears that the
amount of the Christmas fund. as the
Soldiers Orphans Home fund is called,
received by Mrs. Schlater's treasurer from
her predecessor was $l.l45.11. and SlS1 was
collected during the year a total OF
81 326.ll. IN Page IS II appears that $3.50
OF this fund OF $,S26.u was expended.
There should have remained $S0S.2l of the
fund. Instead Of that amount IL appears
on Page 50 that the amount of the Christ
mas fund was $6l9.42. or $lSS.9 less than 1t
should have been. This discovery is certain
TO make the Woman's Relief Corps conven-
ton unusually interesting"
Continuing. this corps woman said: THE
truth Is. from some cause of another the
revenues collected during Mrs. Schlater's
year were considerably less than the
amount expended, which accounts for the
The total receipts. according to the report

Brattleboro kicked to Keene in the
second half and the latter worked the
pigskin slowly but surely down the field
until Sebastian was sent over the goal
line for touch down. The goal was
missed much to the delight OF the
crowd and the score stood 6 in Brat
tleboro's favor. On the next kickoff
Keene seemed seven more successful In
gaining and was soon within 10 yards
of Brattleboro's goal. The situation at
this point became critical and the local
schoolboys braced desperately in an at
tempt to prevent a winning score. In
spite of their efforts the ball was worked

johnson, the Brattleboro center, broke
through and secured the ball as II was
being passed from keene's quarterback

onds to play and amid the most dear
ening cheering which had been heard
on the island for long time the Brattle-
bCro boys began rushing the ball toward
their goal. They failed TO gain the re-
quired distance in three downs ana the
ball was about to go to keene when the
timers whistle blew.
Both teams played remarkably well.
Keene was much the quicker in the back
