it is not questionable Americanism

Der of royalty, a republican senator
said to me recently, EVERY cour-
tesy which we can extend to the
prince as the representative of the
German people is proper, because
his presence affords as an opportun-
ity of showing our esteem for the
people he represents but our atten-
tions to him should be based on that
fact and should in no way differ
from those we would show to a
brother0f the president of France,
for instance, were he to come here
representing the French people. In
a word, It is not royalty but the ma

from South Carolina. The senate
Immediately wentinto executive ses-
sion and declared the offenders "in

events which followed make it me-
cessary to refer to it. On Monday
when the Philippine revenue bill
came TO a vote, President pro tenn
Frye refused TO the senators in con-
tempt an opportunity to vote and
precipimted a protest from the min

of the president was unconstitution-
al in that it "disfrauchised SOW

As matter Of fact the personal
ity of the prince has done much to
make this visit pleasant one.
Rear Admiral Evans predicted that
he would be popularand the predic-
tion has come true. Such little atten.
tions as his going, at his own re-
quest, to the sick room Of young
Theodore Roosevelt aud chatting
for few minutes with him, his So
lioitude for the tree he was asked to
plant at Washington's tomb, which
led him to get down into the exca-
vation to tramp the earth about the
roots, and his presentation of hand
some gold watches to the train crew
which conducted his train between
New York and Washington, have
all helped to produce the heartiness
of his reception.

Senator Penrose, at the request of
your correspondent, recently made
a brief statement of republican
policy in the Philippines "The
United States will stay in the Philip
pine Islands," said the senator,
"and will convert them to a prosper
Gus portion Of the country. They
viii, I presume, be given territorial
rights in time, and a resident com
missioner as Porto Rico now has.
The resources Of the islands are in
calculable and when they are deveI-
oped by American capital and Amer
lean enterprise it is my opinion that
they viii not only be adequate to
meet the current expenses Of the
territory but will afford it and its
residents the many advantages of
higher civilization now enjoyed by
the citizen Of the United States. I'm
der the guidance Of the Philippine
commission the islands now enjoy
infinitely better educational advan-
tages, better courts Of Justice and, in
a word, better facilities for the at
tainment Of civilization than they
ever had or ever would have enjoy
ed under Spanish rule. With the
exception Of a few professional flgh-
ers, the people are happy and con-
tented and the time is not far distant
when they will be more so. With
the insurrection ended the United
States will be in a position to still
further carry into effect the bened-
cent intent which she has in view
and satisfied and prosperous peo-
pie win bless this country for their
deliveranee from Spanish dominion.

HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS
sHOCKNEY, OF UNION
CITY, EXPRESSES HIS MIND.
He Thinks Marion County Delegates
Are Not Chosen Sufficiently Early
Hotel Visitors.

I'm Just q little bit Disguised with the
way Indianapolis and Marion county act
toward the outside counties" remarked
Theodore Shockney, of Union City, who
was at the Denison yesterday. 81 mean in
the matter of selecting delegates for the
Republican State convention. The greater
part OF the counties of the State select
their delegates several weeks before the
convention, and all the candidates can go
and see them If they choose. The Marion
county candidates have an equal chance
with the other candidates of going out and
seeing these delegates. But when ii comes
to Marion county selecting her delegates
the matter is put off until night or two
before the convention, and of course no
outside candidate has chance to see these
men. Now, 1t certainly looks as if there
was something selfish behind this.
Another thing 1 do not like is for set
Of men or an organization of men TO get
together and say who shall be the officers
of the convention days or weeks before the
convention takes place. 1t is the duty OF
the delegates to select these officers, and
If they are to be deprived of it what's the
use of delegates coming to the city aheau
of the day of the convention. L do not say
this because l am opposed to any selection
that has been made as TO chairman OF the
convention. because the selection is perfect
ly satisfactory TO me. l only speak OF IL
because 1t does not seem to me the proper
way to do"

INDIANA PRODUCTS.
An Exhibit for the Benefit of Visiting
Manufacturers

A number of the prominent delegates to
the national manufacturers convention
asked State Geologist Blatchley some time
the delegates from other sections of the
country an exhibit showing the natural re-
sources of Indiana. Mr.. Blatchley at once
wrote letters to manufacturers in the State
who were making products from the natural
resources of the State asking them to send
samples for the exhibition For the past
four weeks Mr.. Blatchley has been busy
accepting these samples and arranging
them for exhibition. The products have
been arranged in the postoffice of the
House of Representatives so that the ex-
hibit will be in easy reach of the delegates
Three long tables have been used and are
entirely filled with samples, yet there are
many more arriving, and additional space

AS A PEACEMAKER
ALBERT MARSHALL USED A REvOL-
YER IN A PERSUASIVE WAY.
John Sparks Refused to Give His
Wife Money and Tenth Street
Had a Scene.

In his efforts to enforce domestic felicity
in the home of John Sparks, chairmaker,
living at $50 West Tenth street, Albert
Marshall, sailor, painter and steeple climb
er, used bullets as harmonizer and landed
in Jail. Sparks was arrested with Marshall
and was charged with assault and battery.
Marshall is held for assault and battery
with intent to kill.
Romance of a varegated hue is in the
story. A year ago John Sparks and his
wife separated -Four children remained
with the mother and wept over the infelicity
that had arisen between the parents. Just
at this time Albert Marshall, the sailor,
and his young son entered the Sparks domi-
cile as boarders. Marshall acted as head
of the family ex oficio. After several
months of this Marshall one day approached
Sparks and insisted on a reconciliation be-
tween he and his wife. Sparks was anxious.
So was his wife. The result was a complete
happy denouement" of the melodramatic
sort. The peace-making Marshall continued
to board at the Sparks house and all went
merry as a marriage bell until last night
Then came another storm.
Sparks and Marshall came down town to-
gether and enjoyed a few friendly glasses
together. Upon returning home Marshall
handed Mrs. Sparks five-dollar bill. then
turning to Sparks, said: Go thou and
do likewise" Sparks said he didn't have
the money, as he had spent it on groceries
Marshall insisted on Sparks paying Mrs
Sparks some money. Sparks emphatically
declared that he wouldn't and left the
house.
'Il see about this business" said
Marshall as he walked to the door and fol-
lowed Sparks into the street.
Go on into the hOuSa and give the old
woman some money" demanded Marshall
mot your life," retorted Sparks. You
needn't think that because you've been
affectiOnate with my wife you can boss
me. Not your life. There amt no
jealous bones in my body anyhow"
well, you've got to pay err"
well, l don't have TO pay err"
Two reports from revolver broke the
mOnOtony of Tenth-street life. Marshall
jumped forward and struck at the little
sailor and two more shots were passed to-
ward Sparks, but failed of their mark By
this time there was an outpouring in Tenth
street and the little man with the gun was
disarmed. Sparks ran into the house. BIZ
cyclemen STREET. and LoSh arrested the
belligerentS.
Blessed is the peacemaker," said Marsh
all as he was loaded into the patrol wagon
and hurried off to jail. Marshall is an odd
character In his young manhood he served
as a sailor on merchant vessels. One night
while his ship lay off Rio Janeiro he was
sent aloft and while working ON the top
mast lost his hold and fell He was picked
up for dead on the ships deck. All of the
bones of the shoulder were broken. The
ships surgeon removed a number of the
bones and the young sailor lived. Marshall
is now so nimble of body that he can throw
his shoulders together and hold a match

There are also several piles of this
wool pressed into felt. The wool is non
cOmbustible and is used mainly for insula
ton purposes. There are a number Of fire
bricks made from the brown sand Of Lake
Michigan. This IS one of the States latest
Industries Mr. Blatchley said. and gives
promise Of becoming of much Importance
on account of the superiority of the sand
and the slight cost in manufacture There
is also a large display Of limestone; also
whetstOnes and glass stones from the

a prominent place on this table. There is
large amount of mari and also the sand
which is mixed with mari in the making of

day that the principal corn-grinding mills
In the United States had been consolidated
and that hereafter the Indianapolis hominy
mills win be a part OF the American HON.
my Company The consolidation was ef-
fected at conferences OF the mill men in
terested in Chicago and Decatur. III. Mr..
Bates has known for several days that the
combination would in all probability be
successfully consummated.
The American Hominy Company will be
made of the following large mills. the list
OF which is furnished by Mr.. Bates: The
Pratt Cereal Mill, Decatur. H.; the SheIla-
barger Mil and Elevator Company, De-
catur, Ill. Cerealine Manufacturing Com
pany. Indianapolis; indianapolis Hominy
Terre Haute: Miami Maize Company. To-

head OF the local concerns. When asked az
20 the reasons for the consolidation and its
probable effect en- the market Mr.. Bates
said:
'.Hominy men are merely following. the
general trend OF business, the tendency of
which Is toward consolidation OF individual
interests for the good OF all. The consoli-
dation n not q trust in the sense that the
Word Is often used. The various interests
Which are now one were injured by COM
petition with many smaller concerns In
the past. This injurious competition will
be slininsted measurably by the cOnsOlida-
ZION. Another effect OF the consolidation
viii be to reduce operating expenses"
When asked as 10 the effect OF the com
binatson Vpon retailers Mr.. Bates said that
A certainly would not be injurious. He did
not care 10 make predictions TO how
prfces would be affected, but stated that
{he retailer need not fear adverse action
on the part OF the company.

nj stating that the consolidation had been
made was shown Mr.. Bates. He confirmed
