KELLAR AND ADAMS

Magician kellar was greeted with a large audience at Polls theater last evening. Many persons went to the theater. no doubt. with the expecta. ton that there might be a slight if not warm, controversy between the ia. nous magician and c. Collard Adams in regard to the day on which George Washington was born The major. lty of these persons were somewhat disappointed. True. the magician's famous clock was there and so was the familiar figure of c. Collard Ad. ans. But as to the dispute in re gard to Washington's birthday, there was little or no dispute. Many who had anticipated warm debate on the subject were rather disappointed at the manner in which this subject was settled. It was agreed by Magician Kellar and Mir Adams to leave the matter for decision to the dean of the Yale law school. The agreement is as follows:
 The question of February 22, 1901 by agreement between the under signed, becomes:
 "On what day of the week and on what day of the month of February 11S2, was George Washington born ?''
 MT kellar says: .On Friday, Feb ruary p. 1732.'
 'Mr Adams says: On Friday, Feb ruary Il, 1732'
 Without any further definition by either party the solution of this ques- ton IS to be left to the dean of Yale law school If the decision is against Mir Kellar, Mir Kellar agrees to pay the sum of SoO0 to the mayor of Water bury to be applied by the said mayor to any Waterbury charity he selects.
 Signed at Waterbury, this 24th day of October 1901.
 70. COLLARD ADAMS,
 HARRY KELLAR.v
 This agreement is to be forwarded

HORSE AND COW FOR AUDIENCE

In his boyhood Henry Clay made up his mind that he would become an ora tor. In this he was discouraged by his parents and those who worked with him on the old plantation, but his ideal was so strongly impressed upon him that nothing could shake it. Some one gave him a reader and his first effort was to memorize a num- Der of selections. He asked his friends to hear him recite them, but they laughed at the idea of a bare footed boy being an orator. Young Clay, undaunted, went into the barn almost every day, and. with the horses and cows for an audience, recited and practiced oratory. These were his first audiences, and. as a great states man, he remarked. in later years, that they were his most patient, earnest lis teners. The experience, which now seems ridiculous, was, in fact, very helpful one for the brilliant young Kentuckian who later became an em- inent orator.-Success.

 Earlier in the evening there was a slight tilt between MT Adams and Ma gician Kellar. The former asked for the day of such an event under the old system while the magician stated that the old system was wrong and use less and that his clock worked under the only proper system. the Gregorian. The clock answered it under the new system, but wrongly. so MT Adams stated. Another question of MT Ad- ans was answered properly. Later in the evening Kellar was assisted by MT Adams in thought transference. There were several humorous episodes between them during the evening and they were thoroughly enjoyed by the audience who seemed to think that they had more than their moneys worth.

Admiral Sampson urge that the medal to
be given to officers who participated in the
Santiago battle should lave the profile OF
that officer. In order to prevent any cor
troversy on the subject Secretary Long
has referred the matter TO the board Of
awards, OF which Assistant Secretary
Hackett is chairman. None Of the mem
ters of this board participated in the West
indian operations, with the exception Of
Rear Admiral Watson, who has taken no
part i'm the Schley-Sampson controversy.
In addition to awarding medals to the Of

HENRY L. WILSON HERE
HE is THE UNITED TATES MINISTER
To CHILEAN GOVERNMENT.
Considerable Uneasiness in the South
ern Part of the south Ameri-
can Continent.

Henry L. Wilson, United States minis
ter to Chile. is at the home Of JOIN IL.
Vajen, $50 North Meridian street. visiting
after four years of diplomatic service in
the South American republic. He left Chile
on Feb. 6 with his family and arrived in
indianapolis last Monday. After reviewing
the climatic. industrial and commercial
conditions of the republic TO a reporter
last night Mr.. Wilson eulogized the Chill
can for his superiority over all the Span
ish peoples in the South American CONT
nent. The nation is the most warlike
of any in Latin American, he said, and their
army and navy is inferior only to that
of the United States of any in the west
ern hemisphere.
There is at present considerable uneasi-
ness" he said, "all through the southern
half of South America growing out of
the controversy between Chile, Peru and
Bolivia relative to the disputed provinces
of Tacana and africa. There has been
some talk of an offensive and defensive
alliance between the Argentine Republic,
Bolivia and Peru for the purpose of fore
ing Chile to surrender certain portions
of these disputed provinces to Bolivia and
Peru. and Chile is being attacked from
many quarters with the charge of trying TO
dDSOID the teIIltOrleSO Oh Her weaker nelgn"
bors. These provinces Chile occupies by Vir-
tue of the treaty which terminated the
war with Peru and Bolivia ten years ago.
Their final disposition, however, by the
terms of the treaty must be determined by
popular vote CT the Inhabitants. Delays
nave occurred and no action has been
taken. A spirit of bitterness has developed
on all sides, but l am of opininn that ii
is not the disposition of Chile to push
her boundary line beyond territories that
do not belong to her. / feel quite certain
that she will not quit a foot of soil which
came to ner as the result of her victory"

SUIT OF ISAAC CIENER
HE CLAIMS TO HAVE SUFFERED A
Loss OF $4,000.
He Sues the Indiana Wholesale Gro
Gerry AssOciation-Other Cases
I'm the Courts.

The suit Of Isaac Ciener against the In
%dIanapolis Wholesale Grocery Association
for damages was prepared for trial yes
terday in Judge Leathers's court. Ciener
Is a wholesale dealer in tobacco and liquor,
and has a business which he say is worth
$4,000. of which the tobacco department
is valued at more than $4,000. He ayers
that he was fourteen years in establishing
a business that brings him net profits
of 500 a month on tobacco and liquor and
$50 a month on cigars and cigarettes. Ciener
bought his goods directly from the fac
tory at a saving of 10 per cent. and became
a competitor of the other wholesale deal
ers in indianapolis. 1t is charged that he
began to cut prices and the association
wrote to the managers of the firms where
Ciener purchased his goods, threatening to
withdraw their patronage unless they re-
fused to sell TO Ceiner. Ciener says upon
TINS representation the firms refused TO
sell him goods and he was forced to buy
OF his competitors, which has lost him
$4,000.

Lincoln lane residents were before the

against the proposition TO allow the street
car company to take up its tracks in Lin
coin lane and put them in South East

but advised the South Side people TO agree
on the extension proposition, so that some
thing can be done. One delegation wants
the South East-street line extended, and
suggested that the Lincoln lane part of the

This caused the controversy.
