Letter to Mr.. Sterling r. Holt,
Indianapolis, Ind.

Dear Sir: Some think we take good
deal of risk in inviting complaints of De-
voc Ready Paint-we authorize our agent
to sell Ii under this guarantees:
IF you have any fault to find with this
paint, either now in putting il on. or here
after in the wear. tell your dealer about it,
I'VE authorize him to do what is right
at our expense"
The following story tells how little the
risk Is:
j. II. Asher & Co, hardware dealers,
Rhinebeck, n. Y, have sold Devoe from
&c TO now, and have had just one complaint
in all this time.
Three sides of a house were perfect; the
fourth was as bad as the three were good.
Explanation-It rained the night before
the fourth side was painted; and the paint
ers didn't wait for the wood TO dry.
What is done in such a case? What
ever the dealer, who sold the paint, consid-
ers Ii fair TO do. We leave il TO him He
may not do exactly what we should II we
were there; but we are not there. The
best we can do is 10 leave ii to him.
Yours truly.
F. w. DEVOE & co.
p. Silly & Stalnaker are Devoe agents
in Indianapolis.

CHILDREN AT RIVERSIDE
THIRTEEN HUNDRED TOTS HAVE
SPLENDID OUTING.
Volunteers of America Had Charge Of
the Anair-Knights of Columbus
Other Picnics.

Riverside Park was invaded yesterday
by an army Of over>thirteen hundred chill
dren, guests of the Volunteers of America,
an organization similar to the Salvation
Army, who entertained with picnic which,
as voiced by one OF the boys in the crowd
was bully" Darlington Booth is at the
head OF the Volunteers, who only began
work In this city last fall. This organiza-
ton does its work in conjunction with the
churches as a sort of auxiliary to the
church Captain f. J. Preston. Of the Vol
unteers, and Mr.. L. Il. Trites, OF the Rail
road Y. NJ. c. A. of Brightwood, had
charge Of the outing yesterday. The total
expense was SIS. including $50 car fare,
dinner for one thousand children and in
cidenta:s. Most Of this was donated.
1t was a jolly crowd of eager, romping.
thoughtless boys and girls ranging in age
from little tots scarcely big enough TO look
out for themselves to children OF fifteen that
boarded cars yesterday morning pound Ior
Riverside Park. All poor children unable
10 otherwise have the pleasure Of an out
Ing were invited.
The sport OF these youngsters can best be
imagined and the noisy shouts and demon
STATIONS with which the grounds rang were
enough TO convince visitor or the fun the
children were having. In the forenoon foot
races. games and other athletic contests
occupied attention. The Helen Gould was
chartered and all were taken on a trip
down the river. One OF the features Of the
day was the distribution OF oranges and
a cake OF hockey pokey' to every member
of the party. The fruit given out
from a wagon by Mr.. Trites, who was sur
rounded by mob OF hungry. waiting chill
dren lighting to get the desired oranges
in a manner that reminded one of the
work of a victorious army sacking city.
The good time lasted until the setting
sun heralded the end OF the picnic and the
same crowd that so lively and noisily
left the city in the morning set out for
home weary. but filled with appreciation for
the entertainment given by the Volunteers
and those who aided in giving them such a
good time.

Received "whitecap, Notice.

A "whitecap' notice was received by
Red" Fletcher, who lives in a shanty near
White river, on West Tenth street and he
complained to the police yesterday. asking
for protection.
The letter was in the nature of a threat
against the lives of both himself and wife.
1t said in substance that he had stolen a
boat from the river and was known as a
boat and river thief, and stated that If he
did not return the boat to its moorings be-
fore the setting of another sun he would
be summarily dealt with. His wife was
also included in the threat, and, Fletcher
knew nothing about a stolen boat, he ap-
pealed to the police, asking that he and his
wife be protected.

Indianapolis & Martinsville Electric road
and the indianapolis e. Vincennes Railroad
was decided yesterday by the Appellate
Court. The right Of an interurban road,
which is building a line alongside of a
steam railroad to take strip of the lat
ter's right-of-way in its wider parts, so as
to reduce the entire right-of-way to the
width of its narrowest parts, was denied

PURITY OF CITY WATER.
CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PACE

CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAcE1
lery Is not a part of perfect water sup

OF direct contamination from the river"
PUzzLING AMBIGUITY.
The members of the board came to the
conclusion that the only positive statement
In the whole report was the last sentence.
Yet there is no evidence of any direct
contamination from the river" Even its as
surance was clouded, however. by the I'M
certainty of the experts as TO the absolute
presence of colon bacilli. to the amount
or evil colon bacilli are responsible for, and
the statement that the upper gallery is not
a part of a perfect water supply for the
city. The members OF the board feel that
the experts have worked conscientiously
and energetically. and that they have
devoted their stores of science and sense
10 the solution Of the problem, but they
are not satisfied with the report in its
present form. 1t leaves matters too much
as they were April IL last when the tests

A certain spinster in Indianapolis, who
has lived alone in her beautiful and stately
home for many years, is one Of the citys
most notable housewives. No childish fin
gers have ever marred the pristine brilliance
of her mirrors and windows or played havoc
with the handsome bronzes and vases in the
daintily cared-for dining room. At the
home of her brother, where seven children
romp from morning until night, as may be
imagined, the same exquisite perfection of
housekeeping is impossible. One day her
small niece returned home after a tea
party at auntie's, and in an awed voice said,
Mamma, l saw a fly in Aunt Maria's
house, but thoughtfully) it was washing
itself"

CHRISTMAS BELT AND STOCK.
A Very Sensible Gift to Make a Girl
Friend.

If YOU want to give or make your girl
friend 4 Christmas present of a belt or
a stock, with or without the shirtwaist,
you cannot do better than study the
new fashions in there articles before
ventUIing forth, for it is a fact that
these have so greatly changed in the
la@t few months as to be scarcely rec
o%nizable.
A stock, made of calf skin, with the
red hair of the calf left on, was nov
city recently seen. This crossed in the
hack while the STRAPS came around to
the front and fastened under harness
buckle. Another leather stock was
made of morocco of the same design. 1t
was round and straight and without
ornamentaticn. It's ends slipped
through each other in the back and
were buckled in the front in neat fash
ion.
A great many of the new stocks are of

THE CLUE WAS FALSE
The Men Suspected of the Ackel Rob-
berry Invite Investigation.

The clue which the officers have been
following yesterday led up to the wrong
parties. 1t had been mentioned that the
day before a woman suspected of hav
ing taken part in the robbery or Of
knowing something about it had been
arrested and detained at the office of the
sheriff. Ta.5 woman was confused with
another woman who thought she knew
something of the robbery and caused
the sheriff to be informed that two
men who sometimes were at her place
had probably committed the crime.
Those men happened to have been shad
owed by private parties but sufficient
evidence had not been gathered against
them.
The woman who was taken into Gus
tody was believed to be the wife of one
of the men and she was held over night
with the hope that she would weaken.
1t appears that the men under sus-
zic-oa did not know until yesterday
morning that they were being watched,
nor did they know that the woman was
in custody. Yesterday morning one of
the men by the name of Hamilton call
ed at the office of the sheriff and in
Vited investigation. He showed letters
from various people and they were sat
isfactory to the sheriff They explained
his presence in the city. He was tod
to bring his partner in and later in the
day he appeared with the other man
whose name Is Bell He was also we'll
provided with letters and other creden-
tials. After a very searching examina-
ton the men were discharged and the
woman was released from custody.
The officers say that they are now
without n clue.
