Charles Harley. Of Delphi. former war
den of the State Prison. who was at the
DenisOn Hotel last night, has a seven-year-
old son who has developed a remarkable
fondness for reading. He has just finished
Robinson Cruso." and yesterday morning
when he heard his father talking of a trip
TO indianapolis remarked: Papa, / want
you TO buy me just two books while you
are in Indianapolis. One is The Lives of
the Hunted by Thompson-Seton, and the
other is Blue River Bear Stories by
Charles Major" Mr.. Harley arrived in the
city with this request fresh in his ears. and
it is safe TO predict that his literary errand
was one of the first attended to.
Mr.. Harley, who is associated in the
manufacture OF lime with his brother. as
serts that they made and sold more lime
last year than ever before. The output for
the year was probably in the neighborhood
of 100000 barrels. 1T is all due 10 the pros

build new ones when they have no money"
Mr.. Harley says his firm is preparing TO
enlarge. their plant this year. They are
now prepared to manufacture from 1900 TO
5000 bushels a day.
Mr.. Harley asserts that Representative
Lands will be renOmtnated in the Ninth
district. He thinks there is no doubt OF
this. Carroll county will be solid for Mr..
Lands. he thinks. He says that Michael
Ryan, of Delphi, an able young Democrat
of that locality, is too shrewd a politician
to become a candidate for Congress in the
Ninth district, since it is "hopelessly Re
publican" There has been some talk OF
Mr.. Ryan being the Democratic nominee.
II don't know who they'll nominate" said
Mr.. Harley, unless it is some one away
from home who is not familiar with the
Situation in the Ninth district"

HE LEARNED TO KNOW PACKAGES
THAT CONTAINED JEwELRY.
Roy Mackey, rs Messenger of Insur-
ance Company, Had Access to
Inside of PostOffice.

Roy Mackey. a hfteen-year-old boy. was
arrested yesterday by Detectives Colbert
and Hauser and charged with robbing the
United States mails and with grand lar
ceny.
Mackey came here about eight weeks ago
from Dayton, o. He was employed by the
State Life Insurance Company as a mes
senger. During the time of his employment
a pay envelope containing SIS was missed.
A letter which contained 100 2-cent postage
stamps failed 10 reach its destination.
Mackey was discharged two weeks ago be-
1850 % the strong circumstantial evidence
against him.
AS messenger for the insurance company
ne carried the mail to the postofnce. He
became we'll acquainted with the clerks at
the canceling desks. He got into the habit
OF going behind the desks and depositing
his mail and talking with clerks.
For several weeks the POstof1ce Depart
ment received complaints of missing pack
ages of jewelry. Wholesale 1ewelry firms
here have habitually sent small orders
through the mails without registering in
order TO save about 50 cents to 81 a day.
Some of the firms who have reported pack
ages as lost are Baldwin Miller & Co,
Heaton, Sims ~ Co., s. T. Nichols q Co.
and A. p Craft. The packages of most of
the frms were generally made up in a
uniform manner, and when one became ac-
Q~uainted with the wrappers of different col
ors and the shapes of the packages IL was
easy to pick out valuable packages from a
large pile. In some manner Mackey learned
this. and he took a number of them while
working for the insurance company. After
he was discharged he continued TO visit the
postofhce and TO steal packages, the clerks
there not being aware of the fact OF his
discharge.
The matter was turned over to Colbert
and Hauser for investigation. After his ar
rest he confessed and told the officers
where a portion of the jewelry had been
sold. He said he roomed with another boy
at Market and New Jersey streets and that
his roommate left him a few days ago.

jewelry. Mackey said he had served two
years I'm the Lancaster (O) RefOrmatory,

HAS S25, 900 IN STAMPS.
They Are Rare and Old and Are to BE
Sold to Collectors.

Our firm sold a stamp some time ago
for 81 ,200," remarked w. III. Colson, a rep
resentative of a stamp-collecting establish
ment of Boston, at the Hotel English last
night. 'It was a stamp issued by a Massa-
chusetts postmaster in 1916 before the gen.
eral issue of stamps by the government.
This rare old stamp was found by a poor
girl who was employed in a cracker fac
tory at Worcester, Mass. She was looking
through some old documents that belonged
&c her uncle and found this stamp. The girl
realized about $1,O50 from the sale of the
stamp. 1t seems that her father had been
unfortunate in business and she took part
of the money and paid some of his debts.
After doing this she had $500 left. L am
told she took the money to a bank and de-
posted ii, having four bank books made
out. She gave her father and mother one
each and one to her sister. She divided the
money equally between the four. Her father
and mother called to see me at the Pan
American Exposition last year"
Mr.. Colson came here with a supply of
rare stamps, but did not find the Indian
apolis collectors in a mood to buy. He says
he will come again. however. He said that
the book in which his supply of stamps
was pasted represented $500 worth of
curioS in this line.

STRIKES IN THE STATE.
One at Washington whiting, While
Terre Haute's Thrives.

State Labor Commissioner Mccormack re-
turned yesterday from a trip to Washington
and Terre Haute. where he inspected the
condition of the strikes in those two cities.
He said the strike In the Baltimore & Ohio
Southwestern shops is practically at an end
and the men are returning to work as rap
idly as they are needed.
The condition at Terre Haute is quite
the reverse. Mr.. Mccormack said the
statements that have been issued 10 the
effect that the strikers are returning 10
work is untrue. He said about twelve of
the men have returned TO work.. but they
were men who had been known to be weak
in their union principles. The boycott al
Terre Haute against the street car company
is still in force, said Mr.. Mccormack, and
the strike is no nearer settlement now than
IL has been since it was ~inaugurated. Great
plans are being made for the labor cele-
bration at Terre Haute Saturday night.
Mr.. Mccormack will return TO Terre a
the last OF the week.
