Io-day.
 Providence, Sept 27.-The practice of the Brown Varsity team yesterday afternoon was the hardest and fiercest yet. It took the Varsity only seven plays to rush the ball down oyer the line for a touchdown. The ball was then given to the scrub, and it took eleven plays for them to get it down to the 26-yard line. The work of the tackles and backs was exceptionally good.

FIGHTS AND FIGHTERS.
Terry McGovern Boxes in Louisville
 For Nothing.

Louisville, Sept 27.-Without com pensation Terry McGovern and his brother Hughey boxed four rounds be- fore 15,000 persons at the Louisville Jockey club grounds where the Ken lucky state fair is in progress. The exhibition was wildly applauded. Among the spectators were Judge En- met Field, whose decision stopped the Corbett-McGovern fight, and many of the ministers who agitated the move ment against the fight. McGoYerul of fered his services to the fair associa- tion because he said he s'didn't want the people of Louisville to think he was as black as he had been painted" After the exhibition the people called on the little fighter for a speech. He said: 'Im sorry the fight was stopped and that the game received such a set back in Louisville. Boxing is fine sport and should be promoted and en- couraged instead of discouraged" These words caught the crowd, and it was plain to see that 90 per cent of the persons on the grounds regretted that they did not get to see Terry in action against Corbett.

DETECTIVES CAREER ENDS.
Edward Lock Grew Confidential and
Was Relieved of His Revolver

Edward Lock, cripple. who walks with
the aid of crutches and is scarcely larger
than a side-show dwarf, came TO Indian
apolis from Winchester yesterday TO launch
upon the career of a detective. Nightfall
found him in the police station. He wore
private detective bureau badge and car
ried fancy revolver. For several hours
he did not care for indianapolis people to
learn that he was going 10 rival Sherlock
Holmes. But he went to the White river
bottoms, where he met three men near the
cotton mill, and that proved his first dis
astrOus move.
He entered into conversation with the
three strangers, and when a can was pro-
duced and II was suggested that ii be used
as a means To carry beer from a nearby
saloon Lock insisted upon paying for the
beverage. Several trips were made, and
Lock became very confidential. He dis
played his badge and then hOurished his
revolver. His companions rudely relieved
him OF his weapon. Lock began to weep.
and as his walls grew louder his compan-
ions tried TO choke him into submission
PatrOlmen Hagerty and Bailey saw the
scuftie and placed the three men under ar
rest. Lock was also taken TO headquar-
tiers. The three men gave their names as
John Buchanan and Jerry Sullivan. Gin
cinnati, and Louis Stanley. Newport, KY

Local characterization Sale
of Boxes.

There is such wealth of material in the
Indiana authors entertainment to be given
at Englishs May 81 that the committee is
finding it difficult to so arrange the pro-
gramme that it will not run too long. The
next difficulty encountered viii be in get
ting all the people who want to attend into
the theater at one time. However, the
committee is resourcefu and will, no
doubt, find a solution for every problem
that confronts il on this occasion. Public
interest will be practically demonstrated
next Tuesday when the advance sale opens
and when it is probable that the house
will be sold out in short order. The auction
sale of boxes will take place Monday at
noon and there will be spirited bidding for
them.
Every author who is to take part has
sent word of the great interest he feels in
the cause of the Harrison monument COM
mission. The entertainment will swell the
monument fund materially. Even those
who may not be especially interested in the
fund cannot help but be attracted by the
brilliancy of the programme offered and
by the desire TO be present on an occasion
of such Importance. Never again will such
an opportunity be offered in this or any
other State to see such authors as James

indianapolis people need not fear that
the erection of the federal building will be

that were experienced in putting up the
new federal building in Chicago" said E.

dianapolis is so situated that building ma

details OF construction are easier to man

Mr.. Strathman began his task yesterday
morning of preparing the site of the new
building for the foundation. Teams and
laborers were put to work and excavations
commenced. He is staying at the Denison
Hotel, where he is going over the plans Of
the structure and issuing orders TO the sub
contractors. Mr.. Strathman will remain in
Indianapolis in charge of the work for Mr..
Pierce until the building approaches com

continued. II expect that the foundations
will be laid and that everything will be
ready for the superstructure in three or
four months at the farthest. In three
months the first consignment of granite
will arrive. 1t will be used for the base

around the site, Mr.. Strathman said: ''The
government is usually very particular that
such Enclosures be made around buildings
under construction for il. Our specifica-
tions provide that must have such
fence for the reason that everybody not
connected with the work of building must

will probably not sublet the concrete and

There will be about 200 men employed on
the building in various capacities Mr..

Nicholson, Booth Harrington, Mrs. Mary
Hartwell Catherwoo6 and George Barr Nc
Cutcheon on the same programme.
The only one on the programme with
whose marvelously entertaining qualities
indianapolis is reasonably familiar is
James Whitcomb Riley. 1t is several
years since Mr.. Riley consented to appear
in the role of platform entertainer and il
will be remembered that the theater was
packed on that occasion and hundreds were
turned away.
Mr.. Riley was born at Greenfield. Ind,
and began writing poetry at an early age,
contributing first 10 the Indianapolis Jour
nal under the name BENZ. +. Johnson. of
Boone His delightful poetry attracted
! immediate attention and after sufficient
poems had appeared a collection of them
was made and published in pamphlet form
by the Robert Clarke Company. of Cincin-
natl, although the little volume bears the
imprint of George G. Hit & Co. The COM
pany was nominal, Mr.. Hit being the bust
ness manager of the Indianapolis Journal
1t is said that the Robert Clarke Company
was afraid 10 undertake the publication
OF such strange verse. This little pamphlet
was the now famous The Old Swimmin
Hole and 'Leven More Poems" The
volume was a success in spite of the lack
of a publishing house. From this on Mr.
Riley's ascent has been a steady one. He
| is to-day probably the best known and
| the bestowed poet in America.
He can write prose when he tries but
he absolutely refuses to try. He says that
| in spite of himself it will drop into blank
verse. Mr.. Riley is the most sought after
and the most successful platform reader In
the country to-day. He does not enjoy the
work, however, and does less and less of it
each year. His relations in this capacity
with Bill Nye and Robert j. Burdette were
known to every one. Mr.. Riley appeared
two years ago in Chicago to the largest
audience that any Chicago playhouse had
f, known that season.
He always hesitates to appear in Indian
apolis and seems to feel that every one
here knows him and his work so thorough
ly that they must be tired of him. Prob
ably no one ever labOred under a greater
misrepresentation. The mere announcement
that Mr.. Riley is to recite at any time and
at any place is enough to exhaust the seat
ing capacity of the largest han.
Mr.. Riley diSlikes to travel and he spends
most of his time in Indianapolis and much
of that quietly at his home in the little
street that he has made famous Requests
that Mr.. Riley should read certain favorite
selections were sent i'm days ago The pros
pect is that if he should comply with all
of the requests made he would fill the
entire time of the entertainment.
Mr.. Riley is a great lover of the short
story. He was admirer of Bret Harte
whom he regarded as a master of the art of
short-story writing. Bret Harte's recent
death and that also of Frank Stockton
whom Mr.. Riley knew and admired, sad
dened him very much.

CRATER PICTURE COPYRIGHT.
DIR. c. Il. Fletcher VIII Protect His
Mont PeIee Views.

DR.. c. l. Fletcher yesterday applied for
copyright on what is undoubtedly the only
picture in existence showing the active
crater of Mont Peee, as it was in It's
seething. sputtering state previous to the
eruption that flowed from il and gave the
world one of its most terrible chapters of
tragedy. The picture shows the yawning
chasm and the cloud of sulphurous gases
coming up from the bed of lava. The papers
all over the country have made a persist
ent effort to get hold of picture of this
crater during the past ten days and their
inability to get one indicates beyond all
doubt that DR.. Fletcher's is the only one in
existence. He has copyrighted il so as to
reserve II for use in magazine articles and
also in his stereOpticOn lectures. He will
show It, enlarged to twenty square feet,
night when he will also show 80 more of
the choicest pictures in his collection of
LOO taken by himself on his trip to Mar
Unique and sister islands.
Word has been received from the East
that at least three lecture bureau men will
be present Saturday night to see what DR..
Fletcher has TO offer as a lecture feature
that can be booked all over the country. 1t
is generally conceded by Eastern magazine
managers that DR.. Fletcher has the most
complete assortment of Martinique views of
any man in the country. He has had several
big offers for his crater view and later il
will appear in at least one of the leading
monthly magazines. The advance sale of
seats for the Saturday night lecture opened
yesterday with a good demand There were
several orders for seats. sent in from gas
belt cities.
