drawn into the station a perspiring Eng

Charles Major, the Indiana author. was
In town yesterday, and dropped into the
Hotel English for a few minutes. He has
just returned from his summers outing at
POLAND Springs. Me-. where he spent
the time quietly with Mrs. Major. He
went away in search of health, and his
personal appearance indicates that he
found It. He came back much improved
and is now prepared for work. While at
POLAND Springs he kept himself away from
the world as much possible, and read
neither letters nor papers.
Within a few days Mr. Major will leave
for New York on business. His chief mis-
sion Is to see what is to be done about put
ting Dorothy Vernon" on the stage. A
number of women have been suggested to
him for the part of Dorothy. but he has
not decided what he will do. He says If he

season.

clines to discuss il further than to say lit

work would complete it, but he has no time
set in which to do this work. Mr.. Major
thinks he made a mistake in announcing
the title of his last story before it was
really finished. Within week after
Dorothy Vernon came out two other
stories of the same name were put on the
market and are still being sold. The author
of the real Dorothy Vernon" says he has
read neither of the others.

The Former Tells About an Old-Time
Game of Ball.

1ame Oh
Chairman Goodrich, of the Republican
state committee, and Representative
Landis of the Ninth district. were chatting
in the lobby of the Hotel English yesterday
evening. The chairman had been out to the
baseball game and was telling about it.
THAT reminds me-" said the congressman,
that about the most interesting game of
ball I ever saw was one 1 took part in
about twenty-six years ago in Butler
county, Ohio. The game was between the
Seven Mile team and the Jacksonburg boys.
/ think the score was something like rs to
63. 1 remember we played with a ball that
i'm those days we called a bounding rock.
1t was hard as a rock and was well named.
i belonged to the Seven Mile team. 1 re-
member one of the players was a young
fellow named Andy Long. He owned ball
bat he had made himself and when he hit
that ball ii usually went out of sight.
Before leaving home yesterday Mr.. Lands
received a telegram from Secretary Cortel-
you I'm regard to President Roosevelt
speeches at Noblesville and Upton on Sept.
%. The secretary wired that the Presi-
dents train will reach Upton at $40 o clock
the morning of the 23d and will remain
there fifteen minutes, leaving at 9:55 for
Noblesville. where another stop of fifteen
minutes will be made. From Noblesville
the train will proceed to Indianapolis. The
train will also stop at Kokomo.
Mr.. Lands is In receipt of a letter from
Milton +. Allies, assistant secretary of the
treasury, vino says he will be happy to
make a speech in Indiana during the
coming campaign. Mr.. Lands thinks this
speech should he made In indianapolis. Mr..
Lands has not decided definitely whether
he will attend the Alabama state conven-
ton. He has received an urgent invitation
to attend and may do so. On Wednesday
of next week Mr. Lands will attend the

ONLY SEVEN COUNCILMEN
IMPOSSIBLE TO SECURE A QUORUM
ON HOLIDAY.
A Special Meeting of the Body May Be
Called for One Day the Latter
Part OF the Week.

Seven councilmen were In the Council
chamber last night. They were Vice Pres
ident Rhodes and Councilmen Cooper, Neg
ley, Meyer, Sourbier, Berry and Mcfarland.
Sergeat-at-arms Dawson, Assistant City
Clerk Kaiser and a reporter were also pres
ent. The roll was called and no quorum
being present adjournment was taken. The
seven councilmen present then understood
the joke that the other fourteen members
played on them. All the members present
except Negley are serving their first terms
and the memory of the oldest member does
not recall when the Council met on a holi-
day.
1t is likely special meeting of the Coun-
Gil will be held the last aof the week to
transact such business as would have come
before the meeting last night. Mr.. McFar-
land. chairman of the public health COM
mittee, was not prepared with report on
the gas meter ordinance. The irony of fate
is pursuing this committee. The Council
took the ordinance from the committee on
contracts and franchises because 1t could
not agree on a report. Three members IA
vored favorable report, three opposed the
ordinance and one not ready to sign
either report. Mr.. Mcfarland now finds his
committee divided the same. He favors the
ordinance, Mr.. Warweg. the Democratic
member, opposes ii and Mr.. Grail is not
ready to sign either report, but If he signs
any he will sign the opposition report.

EDITOR wELMAN In TOWN.


Charles w. Welman, editor and pub
Usher of the Sullivan Times, one of the
ultra Bryan newspapers of the State, was
in town last night. mo, I've not sold my
newspaper to Bob Miers.' he snapped,
when asked about the rumor to that effect
Mr.. Welman explained that the rumor
arose on account of another deal that was
on some time ago by which Representative
Ira LAIR, of Sullivan, was to connect him
self with the Times. This deal, however,
fell through and Welman still remains at
the helm. Some months ago the Sullivan
Times was showing its teeth at the very
mention of Miers's name. The editor wrote
a good many very Saucy things about
Miers, apologizing to the public for his at
titude, on the ground that Miers had
proved q traitor to the Bryan cause. To
the casual observer all is well between Mr..
Miers and Mr.. Welman at this time. Mers
journeyed down to Sullivan the other day
and after q conference or two succeeded in
convincing the editor of the Times that he
(Miers) still had his feet firmly planted on
the Kansas City platform, a structure that
Is very dear to the hearts of some of the
Democracy these days. Since these con-
ferences the Times has been supporting

candidate for Congress, Notwithstanding

themselves when they read the Times.

1.-The Utopians," which opened the regu-
lar season Of the Empire yesterday after
noon. demonstrates clearly that a rafting
good burlesque show can be put on without
dabbling in dirt. The show is clean. or
practically so. The few vulgarisms that
appear are rather risque than nasty. The
noisy approval of a house crowded from
pit to roof was evidence that indecency is
not a requisite. Parts of the show were
ruined for people on the ground floor by
the shrieks yells and whistles that came
from the balcony and the gallery. The
management should see that this is sup
pressed.
Two burlesques and the olio make up
THE Utopians." The opening burlesque is
called THE Magic Hat" and the fun of the
piece turns on the strange adventures of

promputude by the powers that toss IL from

stands the art Of being funny, is the life
of The Magic Hat as he is of the clos
ing piece.
The olio opens with the La Velles aero
batic dancers. Their work has some orig
inality, particularly that of the woman
whose dizzy whirlings from the axis of her
own elbow are somewhat startling. Their
"Svengali Doll' turn is not I'm the least in
teresting, having been worn out by others
VINO came DeIOre. Joseph MADDEN ana
John w. Jess are very tiresome when they
commence their dialogue of Irishisms, but
they warm up to their work in a surprising
manner. Jess is worth hearing. The JOS
selin trio Of acrobats have made no change
in their act, and it is only moderately in
terestng. Mark and Kitty Hart ramble
through an inane sketch whose sole excuse
for existence seems to be the advertise
ment of brand of whisky. Charles z.
Foreman sings sentimental songs. one or
two of which are more than usually silly.
The show ends with the old Hotel Razzle

siderably above the mediocre In the part Of

wanders into a hostelry kept by an impos-
sible Hebrew. There is enough go and

The choruses are sung better than ordi-
nary, and the girls Of the show are pleas

illness of the costumes is commendable.

noon.
