received from Mr.. August Kohn,

check for 81, 900. the prize award

this is now settled. Upon receipt
of the check it was turned over by
the county treasurer to ordinary

The pesthouse for the care of smallpox
patients will be ready for occupancy within
twenty days and will then be capable of
housing forty patients. The Board of Public
Works has made contracts for the repair Of
the three buildings acquired with the site
for the new building and the work will
be pushed from now on. The two frame

DECORATING SCHOOLROOMS.
Indianapolis Teachers Much Inter
ested in the Subject.

cStcQ the SuOJects
Indianapolis school teachers are greatly
interested in the subject of decorations for
schoolrooms and school buildings. At a
meeting of the Principals Club one night
last week the question was thoroughly dis
cussed. The principals naet in the artroom
of the Benjamin Harrison school.
The walls of the room were covered with
beautiful photographs of the worlds mas
terpieces. which are appropriate for school
room decoration. and there was also ex-
hibit of oil paintings by some of the In
dianapolis artists Steele, Forsyth. Adams,
Stark and Gruelle being represented.
Superintendent Kendall announced that
the School Board had appointed a commit
tee whose duty it will be to assist teachers
and graduating classes in the selection Of
decorative material for the schoolroom.
Miss Seegmiller. chairman of the COM
mittee, explained the work the committee
hoped to do. Miss Goldsworthy read a
paper on the subject, Decoration of
Schoolrooms and Buildings in which she
. read extracts from several letters received
from the art supervisors of various cities,
explaining the interest taken by women's
clubs, art leagues and school neighbor-
beautiful
In Fort Wayne the womans Club League
has become interested in this cause, and
they have a collection of pictures they send
from one school building to another.
Greenville, o., had an art exhibit last
week for the benefit of those interested in
schoolroom decoration. In Chicago they
have Public School Art Society,
which loans collection of pic
lures to school for few
months. Several of their women's clubs
have presented pictures to some of the
schools. Milwaukee, Wis, is alive to the
needs of the schoolroom. They have a
Public School Art League, which has done
much, and private parties have given sums
to various buildings for decorative pur-
poses. In Minneapolis, Mimi, voluntary
subscriptions are received from the pupils
of the schools twice year for the purpose
of paying the rent Of pianos. and the sur
plus is used for schoolroom decoration. The
total amount collected In that city aver
ages $3.50. There has been considerable
work done in Denver Col.
The Art League of st. Louis was organ

an organization is that in a generation this
influence may give us an art-loving people.

possibly do for the city schools.

Not Many Republicans Thought Mr..
Hemenway Would Run for Governor.

little surprise among Republicans in In
dianapolis and throughout the State. While
ii was known that at one time Representa-

gubernatorial race, il taken as fore

that idea since it was announced that he
would succeed to the Craftsmanship of the

Senator Stephen B. Fleming. of Fort
Wayne, was at the Grand last night. The
senator expressed unmistakable regret at
the announcement that John w. Kern is
not candidate for the complimentary vote
of the minority of the approaching Legis-
lature for United States senator. Flem-
ing's regret, however, Is due, not to the
fact that he will not get to cast his vote
for Kern, but to the probability that he
will lose an opportunity TO give the In
dianapolis man black eye, metaphor
ically syeaking. Fleming makes no enort
to conceal his hostility toward Kern.
