WATERMELON PLUGGING.
Time .Honored Method of Letting the
 Customer Know What He Gets.


 "A time-honored way of revealing to customer the quality and the deA gree of ripeness of a watermelon is by plugging it. Plugging consists in cutting around with deep Knife thrusts, a section of the melon, per- haps an inch square, which is then lifted out.
 Whether the melon is sold or not, this plug is then put back, keeping the suface of the melon unbroken. If this particular melon is not sold the plug can be removed from it to show the quality of it to successive cus- toners.
 The vendor with a wagonload of Watermelons uses another method. He divides one melon, or perhaps two, into halves, which he distributes about on his load, very striking and attractive samples. The wholesale mountain ranges, of Watermelons about his place of business i'll the season, shows what the fruit is by placing on the mountain peaks a mel on split in halves.
 But sometimes in the wholesale fruit districts watermelons are sam pied by plugging on a gigantic scale. Example, they will cut out of a wat erme1on great riangular-shaped plug as big as the watermelon will permit and lift this out and keep it out, thus giving not only an exten- sive general interior view of the wat ermelon, but showing it also in various aspects of cross section. Indeed, while it may be less spectacular than some, there is perhaps no method of watermelon sampling more compre- hensiye in it's revelation than is that of the great triangular plug.

Good Words For President Roosevert

LONDON. Oct. 1s.-The Spectator, commenting upon the termination of the coal strike in the United States, says: President Roosevelt has still further raised himself in the estima- tion of his fellow countrymen as man of action and also as man of modera- don. They feel that somehow he will ind way to curb the excesses of the great monopolies without falling into the dangers of socialist1c interference with commercial liberty. The Ameri- can people clearly are going to trust President Roosevelt as they trusted Washington and Lincoln, and their trust will not be misplaced"

CADETS RETURN FAVOR.
Cadets Send College Team Loving Cu1

Cadets Send College Team Loving Cup
 When Guarantee Was Returned.
 In 1895, when Harvard went to West Point, Manager Fred Moore and Captain Fairchild found that the $25O guarantee given the team by the cadets was raised by subscription, as no ad- mission was charged for the game.
 On their return to Cambridge the Harvard management sent the guaran- tee back to West Point, whereupon the cadets subscribed for silver loving cup, which was sent to Harvard. Since then Harvard has paid it's own ex- penses to West Point. Colonel Mills. the West Point commander, is an old Harvard man.

Value of These Events Amounts to
 the Big Total of S295. GOO

 London, Oct, 18.-A remarkable to- tai of 100 successful mounts was reached yesterday by Jockey Maher, the American lad, when he won the Middle Park plate at Newmarket by a short head.

YOUNG WOMAN RELEASED
r. EIDE ROBINSON'S FORGED
CHECKS SETTLED BY FAMILY.
Court Continues Indefinitely the Case
Against Her on Motion of Pros
ecutor James Collins.

Mrs. Medea Robinson. the young Martins
vile woman charged with issuing forged
checks, was released yesterday by Acting
Judge Cass Connoway on motion of Prose
cutor James Collins. Mrs. Robinson came
into court from the Jail leaning on the arm
OF her father. Her mother and several sis
tiers walked behind. They went Immediately
to the judges bench, where they stood. The
prisoner was in tears. Prosecutor Collins
told Acting Judge Connoway that he under
stood all claims against the woman had
been settled and in consideration of the
circumstance lie would ask a suspension
of sentence. Mr.. Collins said that with the
case hanging over Mrs. Robinson she can
be brought again into court whenever her
conduct warrants it.
Gronninger q Gronninger, two attorneys
who are close friends of the girls father,
Mr.. Knox, spoke in the girls behalf. One
of them said that one check was yet out
and had not been settled for. This check
has not yet reached the clearing house
and the person into whose hands il fell can
not be found. Arrangements have been
made TO settle it when it makes its APP
pearance.
When the case was called the merchants
on whom checks were passed were present
in court. They had received back the money
they gave on the checks and were willing
that sentence be suspended. Judge Como
way said on recommendation of the State
that he would continue the case indefinitely.
He then expressed sympathy for the young
woman. He said that he was yet afraid
another person was implicated in the for
gerieS. If 1t were q man, he said, the guilty
one should be caught. After the trial many
women crowded around Mrs. Robinson and
gave their sympathy. Some leaned forward
and kissed her.

FINE PICTURES ON VIEW
ANNUAL EXHIBIT OF THE SOCIETY OF
WESTERN ARTISTS.
Walls of the John Heron Art Insti-
tute Hung with the Best Work
of the Painters.

The John Heron Art Institute. last night,
received members of the Indianapolis Art
Association and members of the local chap
ter of the Society Of Western Artists at a
first view of the sixth annual art exhibit
ton OF the society. This exhibit is COM
pleting the chain of cities where it has been
on view since its first grouping at Cincin-
natl. From there IL was sent TO st. Louis,
Chicago, Detroit and Cleveland. On June 8
the groupings will be broken and the pic
lures returned to the artists.
The exhibit is pronounced superior to
any that has been offered here. 1t COM
prises 40 paintings and some small sculp-
ture. The bulk of the work is in oil. The
diversity of subjects is one of the best ele-
ments of superiority. The group repre-
sents the best work OF the society and is
practically intact. very few pictures hav-
ing been removed when sold. The Hoosier
group that won so much praise in other
cities is broken, as 7. c. Steele's Noon
lay" is now in the possession Of the st.
Louis public schools. for which IT was pur-
chased. Steele'S contributions include his
famous painting of the old mill at Brook

the foliage depicted and the almost infinite
detail a large picture that was generally
admired was Edmund OstheuS'S group of
cattle-"Siesta"-which not only revealed
great power in animal representation but a
rich conception Of landscape. Francis Z.

more nearly In the style of the old masters
than his portraits. Head Of an Old Wom-

ter. Edmund H Wuerpel's pictures display
his poetic temperament in various styles.
His Spring, a Gray Day" has satisfying.
subdued effects. and his Misty Moonlight"
received popular admiration.
The walls show such varied characters
md such complete artistic thought and
treatment that IL Is not possible to do jus

teiligent examination. Those OF wide ex-
perience found the evening too limited 10

Five rooms are occupied with the exhibit.

EAST SIDE
They Want Carnival shows Located
i'm Their hborho

East Side business men are discussing
the fall festival. Frank O'Brien, who has
a restaurant at East and Washington
streets, is agitating organization by those
directly interested for the purpose of
bringing the carnival to the streets east
of the courthouse. Mr.. O'Brien believes
that as the first carnival, most of which
was in these streets, was a big success,
the merchants festival should be located
there. Ii is believed that the enterprise
would find ample area in the two blocks OF
Market street. between East and Alabama
streets, and in New Jersey. from Washing
ton to Ohio streets. In addition to this,
New Jersey and East streets south of
Washington would be available. 1t is be-
lieved by the East Side business men that
all interested property owners and resi-
dents would consent to the occupancy of
the streets named and il is likely organiza-
ton with that end in view will be made.
