A Consistent Halter.

Mateo Renato Imbriani, the 1tal-
ian politician, who died few weeks
ago, was noted, among other things.
for his rabid chauvinism. lie hated
particularly the Austrians and Ger
mans. When he was editor of the
Pro Patria, the news editor one
morning got telegram that Rich
ard Wagner had died in Venice. He
forthwith took the speaking tube
and informed Imbriani. The reply
was yolley of abuse, in which he
made out few words like: Cana
glia, musica italiana! Tedesco! La
morte! Ignominia. II nostro Bel
lini! Miserabiliw
The news editor ventured to sug-
gest that, all the same, a daily pa
per was obliged to take some note of
happenings in the world of art.
Not a word! !" came back the an
swer, and not word was printed
about the death of Wagner.

Any Cord Would Do.

General darlington Booth of the
Volunteers of America told story
at the meeting of his organization
of a prayer meeting held on the
east side during mavoralty cam
paign, says the New York CONNER
cial Advertiser. In the midst of a
prayer, he related, one pious brother
said:
"Oh, Lord, we pray thee that the
Democratic party may hang togeth-
er in the coming election"
"Amen. Answer prayer, Lord"
put in Republican who was near.
'But | do not mean it as the Re-
publican brother means it, Lord. /
pray that we may hang together in
concord and accord" continued the
Democrat.
"Amen, Lord" again said the Re-
publican. "Any cord, SO long as
they hang"

CONDENSED STORIES.
The Amusing Catalogue In the Royal
Gallery of Nsrics.


Catalogues of foreign art galleries
are often amusing when they essay
translation. Now the English edi-
ton of the catalogue of the royal
gallery in Venice must be h!rd TO
beat. OF Bartolomeo Nivarn the
catalogue says: "One of the illustri-
Gus ma a.lers of the Murano school.
He precedes and prepare the splen-
dors of the Venitian art. His news
are going from l449 to 1899. FIRST

and his art perceive the influence of
Padua Afterwards he attained scmc
model of style from Antonello of

catalogue saws: "The Miracle of ;

ing himself headlong to free the
slave from the torture. Behind him
the light prevails; under the shade,
except the slave whose body shine

THE GLACIERS ARE GOING.

According to Professor Forel,
who has made special study of the
Alpine glaciers during the past
twenty-five years, the day of the
glacier Is gone. They are deterio-
rating slowly, but with steady per
sistence, and diminution becomes
more marked from year TO year.
There is only one exception to this
rule-that Of Bower, in the valley
of Entremont, which since 1892 has
shown continuous growth. The ia
nous glaciers of the Rhone have
shrunk 755 meters since 1874. or
an average of twenty-nDe meters a
year. Many have so changed dur
ing the past few years that old tour
lists after few seasons of absence
have failed to recognize them.
Some hotels once standing in the
immediate proximity of glaciers are
now at considerable distance from
them, to the serious loss of the pro-
prietors.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Who Was the Poet7

The name of poet, together with
the bulk of his only. notable work, is
los'. People in literary circles re-
member just one verse, and that a
very striking one, describing the
stars as follows:
Above the clouds and tempest's rage,
Across yon blue and radiant arch.
Upon their long. high pilgrimage
! watched their glittering armies march.
Efforts have been making for
some time past to ascertain who
wrote this verse, where il was pub
lished, what is the name of the poem
from which it was taken and where
the remainder of the verses can be
found. The poem is said to be an
old timer, OF American origin, but
the facts about il are shrouded in
mystery New York Herald

Monkeys.

"All well--all happy--lots
of fun. That is the regular
report from the monkey Gag
of Barnum's Circus ever since
the keepers began dosing the
monkeys with Scots Elnul-
sion. Consumption was carry
ing off two thirds of them
every year and the circus had
to buy new ones.
One day keeper accident
ally broke bottle of Scott 5
Emulsion near the monkey
cage and the monkeys eagerly
Tapped it up from the floor.
This suggested the idea that it
might do them good. Since
then the monkeys have received
regular doses and the keepers
report very few deaths from
consumption. OF course its
cheaper to buy Scots Emul-
sion than new monkcys-and
that suits the circus men.
Consumption in monkeys
and in man is the same disease.

Curiosity to see and desire to hear George
AIDE will draw hundreds of people to the
Saturday night entertainment, when the
famous humorist will read a number of his
Fables in Slang" that have made hundreds
of thousands of readers laugh He is COM
ing from Chicago Friday with a stock of
selected fables and there will be plenty
of fun at English's Saturday night George
AIDE, like his friend George McCutcheon,
who is to read Friday night came near
being a farmer. He was born at Kent
land, Ind, Feb. 9. 1866, and is a graduate
of Purdue University. He entered news
paper life in Lafayette, but has lived in
Chicago since 1890. where he was for sew
eral years on the Chicago Record. He
wrote "Artie," Pink Marsh" DOC
Horne" Fables in Slang" More Fables"
known to more readers the author of
Fables in Slang" than anything else,
these inimitable articles having appeared in
many newspapers of the country. Mr.. AIDE
is investing his royalties in Newton county
farm land, showing thereby his loyalty
to the State, although ne continues to live
in Chicago.
His recent opera, 1.-THE Sultan of Sulu'
has made a great hit, although readers of
his fables will be surprised to find it al
most totally devoid of slang.
Mr.. AIDES one appearance in indianapolis
was at the recent meeting of the Bank
ers' Association held at the Commercial
Club, where he responded most charming
ly to a toast. He has appeared before
gatherings of his friends at some entertain
ments given by the Chicago Athletic Club,
but his appearance in Indianapolis on May
81 will be his first genuinely public per-
Torrance.
c. b. Cones, of this city, was a partner
of Mr. AIDES father in the grain business
at Kentland many years ago. The famous
humorist never comes to Indianapolis with
out paying his respects TO his fathers old
partner.
Mr.. AIDE is not ladys man and he does
not do much in a social way, but has a
very large circle of friends in Chicago, and
is beseged With invitations. few of which
he can find time to accept.
In response TO the many calls from the
great FIRST night audience that witnessed
in Chicago the initial performance Of his
comic opera, AIDE made a clever speech of
thanks which has not got into the In
dianap polls papers. After a few felcitous
opening phrases he said: II just remarked
to Mr. -, as the curtain fell on the
second act that ii was a strange fact that
no American humorist has ever written a
successful comic opera. My friend replied:
oh, we'll never mind When the evening
is over you will know whether you are
a humorist or not.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
The Resolutions Adopted by the
County Convention.

The platform adopted by the Democratic
county convention follows:
1.-THE Democratic party of Marion coun-
ty, in convention assembled, calls on all
citizens who adhere to the fundamental
principles of American gOvernment-with-
out which free Institutions cannot exist
TO unite in rescuing our local government
from the corrupticns and misrule which
pervade it.
I'VE are confronted by the notorious fact
that in this community the dominant party
is controlled by a ring of political adven-
turers, that is in close alliance with an
office-selling syndicate, which dictates the
nominations for the more profitable and
important offices. 1t is equally notorious
that this control is exercised through the
purchase of negro voters, who have been
Systematically colonized here by Republic
an managers for years past.
ut is equally notorious that preparation
for this condition was made by the Repub-
lican repeal Of our wholesome laws against
bribery ard corruption in elections. remov-
ing every penalty Of every kind from the
voters a lawful occupation in both regular
and primary elections.
LEGITIMATE FRUITS.
1--WE are confronted by the fact that this
perversion of republican government is
bearing its legitimate fruits. The men who
advance money for the purchase Of votes
must have their returns, and on all sides
there is an extravaganza and waste of pub
lie funds that necessarily mean profit to
favored individuals. The specific require
ments of the fee and salary law have been
openly violated The County Commission
ers have voted illegal compensation both
to other officials and TO themselves.
amounting TO many thousands OF dollars
in excess of their lawful pay, and as an
illustration we point 10 the fact that such
illegal allowances. amounting TO more than
$4,000, have been made TO one county Of
fetal now in Office
Grimes for which officials have been
prosecuted and punished in other counties
are openly and fiagrantly committed in Ma
rion county by Republican officials in broad
daylight, with the knowledge and apparent
approval Of the officers whose sworn duty
IL is 10 prevent crime and bring criminals
10 justice The construction OF a costly
and useless tunnel and the removal of an
excellent heating apparatus from the court
house and substitution for II of one whose
defectc have already been shown by en-
forced suspension OF the courts in cold
weather have been followed by an attempt
TO contract for a steel bridge across White
river In defiance OF the wishes OF the peo-
pie, and at the unheard-ot cost of $4,000.

Judging from the crowd on hand at Eng
lshs yesterday morning wien the sale
for the authors readings was expected to
open. there will be a long line of ticket
buyers there this morning by o'clock,
when seats will positively go on sale.
The crowd yesterday numbered from 200
to 300 people, and the big lobby doors at
English's could scarcely stand the pres
sure so resolved were the people to get
tickets. When they were informed that it
was Wednesday morning seats were to
be ready some of them refused to believe
it and went over to the Commercial Club
to see if they could not buy tickets there.
All this augurs we'll for the sale this
morning, and seats promise to go very
rapidly when the box office window opens
at 8 o'clock. Manager Miller's absence
from the city and a misunderstanding over
the date for opening caused the delay, but
everything is now in readiness to go ahead
with the sale to-day.
Senator Fairbanks telegraphed yesterday
that he would arrive home Friday for the
readings.
A welcome announcement to those who
intend to attend Saturday nights enter
tainment is the addition Of Miss Evaleen
Stein, of Lafayette, to the programme. She
is a charming reader and has had con-
siderable experience in that line. Her
poems are we'll known and their merits
recognized. She will read several of the
best of them. Miss Stein is a notable ad-
dition to the group of author-entertainers
secured for this occasion.
