Ovation for Fritz Huffman.

The Wichita Daily Eagle of the 10th
inst. contained a column notice of the
successful presentation of 1.-THE
Mlkado" by the Andrews Opera Co.,
at the Crawford. The Eagle says in
part:
The event was an auspicious one and
marked the debut of Fritz HuttPan.
the we'll known Wichita man who join
ed the Andrews Opera Co. nearly
three months ago. The management
concluded that the return engagement
to Wichita would be very fitting and
appropriate time for that talented young
man to make his debut on the opera
stage in a leading role. Consequently.
as Mikado was the play for Tuesday
night it was decided that Mr.. HUT
an appear as Nanki Pooh. the tenor
role in that gem of light opera. Upon
Mr.. auttman's appearance in the FIRST
act he was given genuine ovation.
The applause that greeted his appear
ance was spontaneous. hearty and pro-
| loneed. 1t was several minutes before
be could proceed with his first solo
"A Wandering Minstrel l." which he
sang exceedingly well and with much
feeling. His clear, lyric tenor voice
penetrated every part of the theatre
and at the conclusion of the number
he was twice recalled and presented
with numerous floral pieces. In fact
after each number he sang he received
flowers. and during the evening nine
beautiful and exquisite floral pieces
were sent by admiring friends.
Among these there was fine basket oi
flowers sent by the members of Shaw's
Orchestra, Of which Fritz had been a
member for seven years. Fritz's sing
ing throughout was good and very
pleasing. and his acting was genuine
surprise to his friends. He is graceful.
and has repose on the stage. Hi.
duett with Catherine Lee and Yum
Yum, in the first act. was one of tn,
prettiest numbers of the evening. o.
; this, in which occurs the kissing duett
J they were four times recalled. -
Mr.. Huffman did his company prou.
and pleased his friends immensely b,
; his cleverness in the role of Nank
Pooh, which is considered one of tn
, most difficult parts IN light opera.

STATE CARE OF CHILDREN.
Indiana's scheme Seems Best and
Most E~cOnOmical

a statement showing the progress made
by the child-saving work of the Board of
State Charities was issued yesterday by
Secretary Butler. The problem of the
care of dependent and neglected children,
says the statement. lis one that has had
earnest consideration in all our more
progressive States. Various methods have
been tried. Some have been successful,
others not so. In New York the plan was
tried of boarding these children in private
institutions. but eventually the influence
OF these institutions became so strong that
Ii could not be overcome. Ohio adopted
the method of establishing county orphans
homes, in which the dependent and neg
lected children of the county could be
with the same plan, but its evils became
apparent in time and another plan. was
tried. Michigan proceeded on the theory
that children of this class are wards or
the State and an institution was built Tor
them, called the State Public School, TO
which all such children are regularly sent
pacity for about $50 children. As soon as
fitted for it, the children are placed in
plan was made IN 1895, but without success.
The present plan was in~augurated in 1891.
1t is the Michigan idea modified to suit our
conditions, the theory being the same.
The best place for a child to grow up Is
in a good family home We have a num-
Der of orphans homes instead of one re-
ceiving home Our children are not COM
mitted by the courts, although the law
makes them the States wards and objects
of it's careful oversight"
The statement furnishes interesting COM
PARSONS of the three systems. New York
now supports in orphans home over $1,000
children; Ohio cares for 5000 excluding
those in the Soldiers and Sailors Orphans
Home; Indiana is caring for 1850, not
counting inmates of the Soldiers and Sail
ors' Orphans Home; Michigan maintains
less than 200 children in its State Public
School. Since the cost of a child's support
in Indiana is 500 per year and probably the
same elsewhere say the statement, the
economic feature of child-saving is obvious.
New York spends millions of dollars an
nually on this account, Ohio over a quarter
of a million. Indiana more than $150,000,
lars"

BEFORE STATE TAX BOARD.


The Upton Car Company, owned by Sir
Thomas Upton, the famous English yachts
man and dealer in teas, protested yester-
day against the assessment placed on it by
the State Board of Tax Commissioners.
The company was represented by NJ. F.
Russell. its superintendent. To Mr.. Rus
sells contention that the board cannot
legally assess companies of this kind Gov
ernor Durbin replied that the board had
settled in it's own mind the subject of Legal
ity and that he need not press that point.
Mr.. Russell then urged that his company
does not convey property" in Indiana,
but merely receives a per cent. from the
railroads.
The power of the Tax Board to assess
transportation companies was assailed more
vigorously by NJ. G. Scrafford, assistant gen.
eral counsel of the Chicago & Alton Rail-
road. who appeared on behalf of the Arms
Palace Horse Car Company, the Burton
Stock Car Company, the Canada Cattle
Car Company and the Consolidated Cattle
Car Company. Mr.. Scrafford filed with the
board a written brief on this point and
ceived, but that a decision already had
been reached as to the legality of these
assessments and that this decision would
stand until overthrow by a court. Mr..
Scrafford urged the board not to make the
assessment such that the transportation
companies would De driven 10 appear TO the
courts.
The American Telephone ard Telegraph
Company (the BelD was represented by
Charles Martindale, an attorney of this
city. Mr.. Martindale claimed that this
company does not own any switchboards
or telephones or instruments of any kind,
and that it owns only wires and poles:
therefore the assessment of $40 "A mile on
1.OOS miles of wire is excessive and ought
to be reduced.
b. Morehead. representing the American
Refrigerator Transit Company, the West
ern Refrigerator line and the Union Re-
frigerator and Transit Company. did not
raise the question of the right OF the board
to assess this class of property. but claimed
that the assessment of the companies he
represented was much in excess of the
value of their property i'm Indiana.
The Carroll Telephone Company was rep
| resented by F.. Walker. who claimed that
| part of the company's line is made of fence
wire, and that the state board. not ia king
that fact into consideration, had assessed
the company too high. Figures submitted
by Mr.. Walker did not. however, impress
the board that it had committed an error.
@. Rex, treasurer of the North Manchester
Telephone Company. declared that his COM
pany was entirely too small to carry the
burden of such an assessment as the board
had placed on IL. Auditor Koerner, of Du-
bois county. sent the state board a written
statement asserting that it's assessment of
the Dubois County Telephone Company
was much too high. The state board prac-
tically doubled last years assessment of
the cOmpany.
