suggestions to Shoppers.

For a quarter-dollar one can get a whole
set of turnover and cuffs of sheer lawn,
hemstitched and fagoted about with white
silk. The set is as neat and pretty a finish
as one could ask for a trim bodice.
The white turnovers grown deeper and
fancier, and the familiar tab down the
front with which the summer stocks have
familiariZed us now appear on the dam
test and finest Of the winter turnovers.
A fancy stock of the brown suede leather
is as new and as pretty as the leather
girdle and the leather thongs which lace
it up end in a multiplicity of ends, which
add touch of smartness to the up-to-date
shirtwaist.
The grape clusters which have been so
much the vogue for so long have at last
made their appearance in fancy hosiery,
and one of the new designs shows cluster
of purple grapes laid across the instep The
effect is novel, but not particularly pretty.
4 deep-pointed girdle Of tobacco brown
suede leather, folded and fastened in the
front by tiny buckles, is distinctly new
idea in the matter of belts. The leather is
not just plain leather either; it has fag-
oted insertions of brown silk and fancy
stitches set in, which make it much love
lier than just leather could ever be.
The cotton blankets which sell for 81 the

RECEIVER HOMESTEAD
MARION TRUST COMPANY TAKES
CHARGE OF ITS AFFAIRS.
Suit Instituted Against the Associa-
tion by Attorney General MilIer-O.
ID. Reeves Statement.

The State of Indiana on relation of
Charles w. Miller, attorney general. yester-
day filed suit before Judge Carter. of the
Superior Court, against the Homestead
Loan and Investment Association asking
for dissolution of the association and for
the appointment of a receiver Judge Car
ter appointed the Marion Trust Company
receiver to take charge of all the property
and assets of the association until the fur
Their order of the court and gave the de-
PENDANT ten days in which to show cause
why the receivership should not be made
permanent and the affairs of the associa-
ton wound up.
The complaint states that the organization
filed its articles of Incorporation with the
auditor of state on Dec T. 1900. The asso-
citation had at that time capital stock of
200, divided into 1000 shares of 800 each,
with 300 shares subscribed and paid for
The object of the association was to accum-
ulate capital for the members out of small
weekly or monthly payments. which was
to be invested in purchasing and building
homes for the members. AT the time of
the filing of the articles of incorporation
the board of directors was composed of E.
M. Myers, Minnie E. Wilson, Harry Lee,
Mary E. Johnson, William Gambol Amos
A Butterfield. Mary L. Barr, John Reeves
and Walter A. Barr.
The complaint charges that on the 23d of
October, 1903, the auditor of state having
examined the affairs of the association
found 1t to be In an unsound condition and
requested the attorney general to begin
proceedings to wind up the affairs as the
interests Of the public demanded a dissolu-
ton.
The complaint further charges that sub
sequent to the organization of the associa-
ton the capital stock was increased from
100000 to 500, 900. On June %, 1903, 1t was
capital stock was increased to $4,000; that
Notwithstanding the capital stock was only
$4,000 the officers of the association have
sold shares of stock to the amount of So
$4,000. To carry out the promises of the
association 1t would be essential that its
capital stock should be of an unlimited
amount and that the amount of the stock
stock issued by the association largely ex-
ceeds the amount the defendant is permit
ted to issue by law and IL is nearly double
in amount the capital stock permitted by
the law of Indiana to be issued by any
building or loan association. The associa-
ton has obtained written subscriptions to
the capital stock by false and fraudulent
pretenses, it is claimed, and has committed
acts which amount to forfeiture OF its
rights and privileges as a corporation
The plaintiff asked that receiver be an
pointed forthwith, without first giving
notice to the defendant, because the assets
would be wasted, Incorporated or re-
should the defendant receive notice of an
application for a receiver. The plaintiff fur
Their asked that the receiver wind up the
affairs of the association.

Burlesque at the Empire.

The usual Monday afternoon audience at
the Empire yesterday wanted to like the
show offered by Sam Devere's company,
for ,0evere has many friends among the
patrons Of that theater, and SO have Larry
Smith and Mamie Champion, who take the
leading parts in the burlesques. Part of the
performance met with ready approval. but
in many spots it is very hard to take. a
more uneven production has not been
offered at the Empire this season. There
have been some shows that were poor all
the way through, and others that were
good from curtain to curtain. but this one
can neither be condemned nor unstintedlv
praised.
The opening burlesque, THE School of
Love-" is an old one snd Devere could GER
tainly find something newer and better.
But for the hard work of Larry Smith.
whose artics and grimaces would put fun
into anything. IL would fail decidedly fiat.
Much of Smiths business is familiar, but
ne never fails TO raise laugh and get a
hand. William McEvoy is a good foil for
him. The chorus is slightly, handsomely
costumed and we'll drilled, but there isn't
a musical number in the whole show that
takes because of its musical features.
Sam Devere opens the olio with his
familiar black-face banjo and monologue
turn. He has one or two new jokes and
his turn was well received. The Rice
brothers. who do a triple horizontal bar
turn as the Chinaman and the rube, are
clever acrobats, but they could eliminate
much of their comedy" business and i'm
prove their act. The "Troubadour Four
offer harmony and comedy. and work faith
fully. but are not strikingly successful in
either line.
Larry Smith and Mamie Champion, as
sisted by Ed Rentz. give a one-act sketch
called Her New Husband The less said
IF G ha OF hut Gy,,fth md
Champion close with bowery song and
dance that Is all right. Seymour and Hill
made good with an acrobatic turn. in which
Seymour especially showed himself an un-
usually clever tumbler. Jack Burke and
William McEvoy close the olio with box
ing exhibition Burke Is a former prize
fighter and is known as the man who
fought the longest battle on record, ITO
rounds. lasting seven hour and twenty
minutes. He uses McEvoy to illustrate the
famous knockout blows of English and
American champions and incidentally
punches the bag for few minutes.
The closing burlesque gives Larry Smith
q better opportunity and also introduces
two novel stage effects one. the tramps
elevator. and the other an automobile that
blows UP and does other interesting and
unexpected stunts
Max Luttbeg who is billed as the cham
pion lightweight wrestler, Is with the COM
pany and offers to meet all corners after the
performance and forfeits $25 to any man
whom he cannot throw in fifteen minutes.
Sam Young who is well-known here, went
on yesterday afternoon and stayed ten
minutes with Luttbeg. He put up credit
able exhibition of skill and endurance

WASHINGTON, Oct 26.-The formal
opening of Viola Allen and company in a
revival of Shakspeare's comedy, Twelfth
Night" took place at the National Theater
tonight. There was a very fashionable
audience present. and Miss Allen achieved
a notable success in her first appearance
in short clothes. If she felt any embar-
rassment i'm boys attire she did not show
it, Her action was delightful in the COM
edy and love scenes. The big supporting
company was admirably chosen. The pro-
duction is magnificently staged.

ST Baker, who lived in a hill town in

first move should be. says the New

One morning he came in from milk

Alexander leered mockingly at the
young man, who turned his attention
to Mr.. Ives. ..... .a.r
"Sir," he said, II have done you an
injustice, and regret 1t. but the hap
piness of two lives Is too great PEN
atty to pay for such an offense. First
I must make my most humble apollo
gies for wounding your sensibilities.
Then l must tell you that shall
wound them more, for If you do not
withdraw your objection to my atten-
lions to your niece shall at once go
to the farmhouse and call all its occu-
pants to witness your present posi-

At the end of this stilted speech Mr..
Ives looked down at the capering Alex

away. ..... ..
@"Hold ony' cried Ives. Let me

AS he thought a dormant sense of
humor asserted itself, and at the end
of five minutes his features suggested
this feeling. .e.
"Get that Internal goat away" he
said.
Wilfred opened the gate. Alexander
charged madly and with such speed
that he shot into the road. Wilfred
stepped into the orchard, again closing
the gate and leaving Alexander vainly
butting the fence. Then he and Mr..
Ives took the short cut to the farm
house. and when they approached that
building they were arm In arm.
