A NEW WAY OF GETTING OIL.

A case tried in one of the local courts
last week brought out some curious facts
relative to the management of an oil COM
pany organized in this city. The suit was
brought on the bond Of the former Sec
rotary of the company, who organized it,
to recover money said to have been dis
honestly applied. On the trial it was de-
veloped that all the stockholders were
members of the same church and that the
articles of association provided that one
tenth of all the company's profits should
be devoted to religious and benevolent pur-
poses 1t was further in evidence and
shown by the minutes kept by the Sec
rotary that every meeting OF the board
of directors was opened with prayer, ask
ing that the company might meet with sue
cess In the drilling OF wells. The secre-
tary had charge OF the drilling, and in the
absence of any other answer to the prayers
he seems to have undertaken to answer
them himself. for he reported from time
TO time that the company was getting very
productive wells, when in reality it was
not doing anything OF the kind Further
more. in order to carry out the provision
of the charter that one-tenth of all the
company's profits should be devoted to
religious and benevolent purposes. at the
end Of the first quarter he notified the
stockholders that the net profits for that
quarter amounted to $3.50. and the di-
rectors accordingly ordered sl,73i to be
paid TO home and foreign missions. Later
1t was discovered that the secretary had
been playing false. that he had forged pipe
line receipts TO show as evidence that the
company was doing a successful business.
and had deceived the stockholders and
directors in other ways. When IL was found
that the payment to home and foreign

sARAFOFF AND HIS KIND.

1t is probably a very good thing for HUI
mainly in the Balkans that Boris Sarafoff,
the celebrated brigand and leader of the
present Macedonian rebellion, has fallen.
He has been a maker of trouble ever since
his boyhood, leading his half-civilized bands
in raids on Turkish towns for butchery and
plumber in the name Of patriotism and bring
ing down upon his Bulgarian compatriots
Turkish raids in retaliation even more cruel
and bloody. With no thought of scruple or
quarter on either side, this guerrilla war
fare has been going among the noun
tains and valleys Of Macedonia for decades,
bursting out occasionally into such whole
sale massacres as have been shocking the
civilized world during the past two months.
Boris made very picturesque figure at
long distance, beyond the smell of dirt and
out of sight Of the immense amount Of mis-
cry and murder he directly caused. and his
career will serve fairly well for the coarser
grade Of the swashbuckler novel, but such
activities as his make not for civilization,
but for barparism; not for freedom, but for
slavery by keeping people in poverty and
ignorance. Southeastern Europe has been
cursed for centuries with just such men.
Some Of them, like Black George, Of Seryia,
succeeded in setting up governments of their
own, but their success improved the condi-
ton Of the people little, if any. 1t has, per-
haps, meant fewer religious and race
brawls, but 1t has meant no advancement
whatever in education. prosperity or general
civilization. and it has brought little, if any,
greater safety to life and property.
The direct interest of the American people
in the whole eastern question" as related
to the Turk in Europe and the government
of the Balkan peoples is very slight, though
we have broad humanitarian interest.
And from this point of view it would un-
Questionably be better if that whole section
were under the rule of unquestionably
strong but more civilized government-and
for this purpose Russia seems the logical
power

DIsFIGuRING THE CITY.

AS time goes on Indianapolis grows more
and more ragged and unkempt in appear
ance. We have the most beautiful and
Monument, our Capitol is one of the very
best examples of its particular style Of
architecture, the new federal building is
fast taking shape as a striksngly beautiful
structure. and we have library and one
or two other buildings of fine architectural
quality. We have a few beautiful streets
and are preparing to build boulevard that
will be worth while. We have three bridges
that will pass muster very well, and are
in fair way to have more. We have a
few pretty parks, and as soon as nature
has little more time we shall have some
large ones worth visiting. Yet private
greed, combined with public carelessness.
continues to give the city more and more
an ill-kept look.
Around the monument stand a number of
"dinkey' trash boxes advertising certain
brands of whisky and cures for bunions.
In the vicinity of the Capitol are flaming
billboards and a lot Of old buildings covered
not for the particular purpose of driving
people crazy, but for advertising purposes.
1t is not possible as yet to tell what the
surroundings of the federal building will
be, but 1t and the public library have a
better chance than any Of the rest, though
there is, of course, no telling what freaks
of ugliness private ownership will indulge
in there. The best streets are disfgured at
many points with glaring billboards, and
the avenues leading to both the large parks
are the most unsightly things that could be
ina gined. Both Massachusetts, and Indiana
avenues are nightmares. and there are
other streets not far behind them.
The modern city is not thing of beauty
at best, but it is possible to have very
much more beautiful city than we have.
We have expended great sums Of money on
some things to attain the beautiful. There
is much more that can be done in this
direction. involving the expenditure of little
or nothing. A patch of grass here, a few
trees or bit of shrubbery there and a
little cleanliness at another point would help
wonderfully. More effective still would be
measures properly enforced to repress the
dreadful spirit that seizes on everything to
tell the people in flaming colors and ridic-
ulous designs that somebody's soap or hair
tonic or pills will make them happy. 1t is
the age Of advertising. but the spirit is
running wild and overriding everything.
Business houses in the dignifed wholesale
district are plastered over with the most
horrible examples Of the sign painter s
handiwork, and the omnipresent billboard.
not content with staring from the street
level, has acquiring the habit Of mounting
the tops of buildings to offend the sight.
All this makes the city look cheap and
tawdry, despite all that has been or can
be done in the erection of beautiful build
ings and the Improvement of streets.

missions OF 10 per cent OF the alleged net
profts for quarter was based on fraud
ulent representations by the secretary, suit
was brought ON his bond to recover the.
amount
The case Is interesting, because II Is De-
iieved to be the first instance on record
in which an attempt has been made to
interest the Almighty in the oil business
by pledging a company TO devote certain
per cent. of its net earnings to religious
and charitable purposes and by opening
meetings of the board OF directors with
prayer. There has been a great deal OF
money made in the oil business in In
diana, but, as far as known. II has all been
made by the judicious selection Of leases
and by good management in drilling wells.
1t is doubtful if any experienced oil man
would swap these conditions for any sup
posed advantage to be gained by open
ing the meeting Of the board Of directors
with prayer. or promising to devote
fixed per cent. Of the net profits to religious
purposes. They would rather depend on
good locations. good drillers and good man.
agement generally. As matter of fact,
oil in this State is found only in the for
nation known as Trenton rock, and only
In certain parts Of that. and 1t is doubtful
if any amount of praying would enable
a driller to find oil where 1t does not exist.
There are great many unproductive wells
in the State. commonly called dry holes"
busters" which have never shown
any trace of oil. These dry holes could
be bought for almost nothing, and if they
could be converted into productive wells
by prayer there would be an immense profit
in 1t. 1t is doubtful, however, If any prac-
teal oil man could be induced to put
money into such an enterprise. The Sec
rotary Of the company referred to seems
to have done his best to make the prayers
effective by forging pipeline receipts, but
any one can see that such receipts do not
represent oil. In fact, the conduct Of the
secretary in this case, however well meant,
was calculated to neutralize the effect Of
opening the board meetings with prayer
and to bring on himself and the other
stockholders a punishment of dry holes.
Whether his bondholders can be held for
his false representations remains to be
seen
