III THE 7HEATRES


A good sized audience greetd Sam
Morris in THE Peddler's Claim" last
night at the Auditorium. 1t is a
melodrama of considerable merit and
MIR. Morris impersonation of the
Jew, Moses Levi, is exceptionally
clever.
Bertram Miller as Guiseppi Duran
ii is good. The work of Miss Gracia
De Foy as Blanche Chenoworth is
also excellent.
The remainder of the support is
above the average and it may be
said without qualification that Mr.
Morris has surrounded himself with
good players who to no small extent
contribute to the success of the per-
Torrance, which will be repeated to-
night and tomorrow night, and GER
tainly should draw big houses. 1t is
by far the best attraction of the kind
for some time.

Josephine Shepard, the only daugh-

gagged to play the part of 'Prissims"

made men and women laugh and cry

as a fine actress and a delightful
woman. 1t is, therefore. not to be
wondered at that Josephine Florence
Shepard is considered the best player
of the part of Prissims, which is a
very important one in the artistic
ensemble of the characters in "The

CAB COULDN'T KILL HIM.
The General Who Paid $4,000 for a
Dinner Is Well Again.

New York Tribune
General William T.. Clark the last sur
viving adjutant general and chief-of-staff
of Grants old Army of the Tennessee, is
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. looking none
the worse for an accident that nearly cost
him his life in Chicago last March. Cen
eral Clark is seventy-three years old, but
looks much younger. One night in March
last he was walking along Jackson square
when a runaway cab horse knocked him
down. He was cut badly on the head,
several ribs were broken and one of his
legs was mangled. He was taken to his
hotel and after an extended examination
the doctor told the waiting friends that
the patient was doing as well as could be
expected, but that he would die before
morning General Clark overheard him,
and it made him angry. When the doctor
stepped back into the room the patient
was sitting up in bed, literally and hgura-
lively with blood in his eye"
II want a glass of good whisky and a
cigar" said the general.
For the Lords Sakei' exclaimed the
doctor, what kind of man are you, any
way?"
well. am this kind of man retorted
the old warhorse II didn't fight in TWEEN
ty-seven pitched battles of the Army Of
the Tennessee and come out in good shape
and live to die by being run over by a
drunken cab driver"
The next day General Clark was in great
pain on account of his broken ribs, which
the doctor had overlooked. AS soon as
they were attended to he began TO get bet
t.
only man who ever paid sl,0o0 apiece for
forty dinners. 1t was while Grant was at
vicksburg that a Confederte commissary
was captured while on his way TO Texas

which he was going to buy cattle General
Clark took charge of the money. Grant.

PREVENTION OF DISEASE.
Facts and Figures from September
Bulletin of Health Board.

The September Bulletin OF the Indiana
State Board of Health says in part: THE
gathering of death and disease statistics
was authorized by the Legislature of 1899
and the work began Jan. l. 1900. 1t is plain
" necessary to know where the prevent
able diseases and deaths occur before direct
prevention methods can be applied. Disease
and death statistics give this information.
and as soon as il is secured the active COM
bat against infection begins. 1T is to be
regretted that humanity will not, as
usual thing. constantly apply prevention;
but so long as well we think 1T best
to let we'll enough alone, with the result
that outbreaks occur. 1t happens, there
fore, that the disease prevention and life
saving station. called the health depart
ment, cannot do much in disease prevention
work, except, generally. among those who
have been smitten by disease death in
their families.
1.-The statistics bring the names of these
to the State Board and Immediately they
are visited by health officers and pamphlets
on the prevention of the disease which has
overtaken them are forwarded by mail. FIRE.
quently letters pass between these people,
whom calamity has aroused, and the State
Board, until an understanding or how to
prevent disease, is had 1t is this work,
which is largely the cause of the decrease
which the health department has specially
made combat. The following figures show
what this decrease is: In 1900 there were
LIP deaths in the State from typhoid and
697 from diphtheria. In 1901 they were
typhoid LOO; diphtheria, 40; and in 1902
typhoid 1904; diphtheria, 1863. A correspond
ing decrease in the number of cases Is also
to be recorded. If this ratio of decrease
continues in 1903, and We believe Ii will be
higher because the prevention gospel is
daily becoming more widely spread, there
will be 800 deaths from typhoid and 205 from
diphtheria There is another factor in the
cause of this decrease which belongs to pre-
yentive medicine. but credit for which does
not belong TO the health department. We
refer to antitoxn. which is now more gen.
orally used than formerly, and which is as
near specific for diphtheria as we can hope
to attain. The health department. however,
has had not a little to do with securing the
more general use of antitoXin by demon
strating its worth in many localities. In
| the decrease in typhoid fever deaths, but
| fact that physicians know better how TO
| generally employed, are factors for which
| the health department is not to receive
| credit. The coming year, it being possible
| on account of an increase In the appropria-
| ton for disease prevention, the Health
Board will wage a more energetic fight
| against typhoid and diphtheria and in adj
dition will begin the combat against tuber-
culosis which disease kills 5000 people an
nually in Indiana, and which costs the State
| each year not less than $5,OO0.0O0"

Criticised by the Union.

voted over column editorial TO a singing

Among other things the Union says:
Nowhere in political history has there
been shown such lack of consistency in
the prosecution OF reform movement as
that exhibited by the Good Citizens League
of Indianapolis, and it's chief mouthpiece,

THE logical candidate for the News to

reasons for supporting Mayor Bookwalter.
In part he said:

a Republican. but in many city election L
have scratched my ticket where political is
sues were not at stake.

its work we'll. The party has always been
aggressive and progressive.
The Republican party as reform party
needs reforming, as do all reformers, but
you can't reform a party or an individual
by abuse or by SANDER. Abuse is not a
converting agency.
II was not and am not in favor of min
listers going into politics as a body and dis
cussing matters behind closed doors. AS
individuals. we have perfect right. as
much right anybody, to be citizens and
take an active part in government affairs,
civic, State and national. When the minis
ters held their secret sessions in this city
/ had not decided on my men for whom /
would vote at the coming election.
Il have just fully decided how will vote.
After very painstaking investigation l
have reached the conclusion that will vote
my old ticket with one or two minor ex-
ceptions. Not that L indorse everything
done or left undone by the present admin
istration. but for other reasons among
which are:
First want TO rebuke the News for its
extravagant. Incorporate, slanderous cam
paign methods
.Second-The Democratic party has never
claimed to be a reform party.
Third find by actual investigation that
our city affairs, financially and morally,
are an Improvement upon what they were

II shall vote for the present mayor for
these as we'll as for other reasons.
