Market Is Active.

The activity of the real-estate market the
past week has been confined largely to
transactions i'm small properties. ranging in
price from 5000 TO 5000. Few transactions
involving more than $500 have been re-
corded this week. East Market-street brok-
ers have several large deals in process Of
completion. one of which involves about
a block OF property on West Washington
street, rot many blocks west of the State
house, but none of these transactions has
matured sufficiently TO warrant anything
being given out about it. If these transact
tions do not fall through, or if just one or
two of them is closed up this month, the
transfer showing for September will be
about on n level with the unusually large
showing made In July.

sand dollars in cash prizes for the building
or the first twenty-six homes on the adj
ultion have been offered by Mr.. Perkins.
and IL is thought there will be a good many
residences erected there this fall.
Reai-estate men take a very sanguine
and optimistic view of the situation in the
real-estate market. There has been a
healthy. steady demand all summer for
residence properties and factory sites. and
though not many transactions involving
hundreds of thousands of dollars have been
recorded, the market is active and good
property in any part of the city is a sale.
look for this 10 be a very good fall
In the Teal-estate business said the head
of one OF the largest firms in the CITY.
Perhaps the increased activity of the
market will not be noticed as much this fall
as usual. because the market has kept
right on being active all summer long. And
though business is bound To be better from
now on than it has been for three months.
IL VIII not be very APPARENT that there is
more going on in realty circles. All signs
point TO a splendid fall in the realty busi-
ness"

The Guilty Author.

- " NaN
To the mature reader of modern fiction
need for the revival of some old-time mode Of
punishment, such as the pillory, the stocks,
or the ducking stool. 1t is no more vital
that the national government should take
in charge the investigation Of the purity
of our food stuffs than that of our literary
productions. We are not more DESTROYS,
it is to be hoped, to hand down to the
future greater strength of body than Of
mental constitution, and the accomplish
ment of the latter will always be INSTRUCTED
by vicious literature.
1t is a daring thing that an educated man
or woman should pen even one chapter Of
questionable fiction. The world has been
taught to expect vice from the uneducated.
but il is a crimes for q man or q woman
who has devoted his or her life to the
acquisition of learning to perpetuate in
pri an evil Inspiration. No one can cal
culure the effect of such an act. 1t goes
down the years. damning the author i'm the
minds of the thoughtful and smirching the
world for all who read. And it is not the
book that is wholly, unmistakably bad that
does the greatest amount of harm-from
such books our younger readers, at least,
are warned away. But it is the we'll writ
ten book, with a literary charm aside from
the story which, having an unexpected
vein of insidious poison creeping through
it, axe the faith of the reader in the
truth that goodness and happiness dwell
together. The story may be true, but why
paint unpleasant pictures from life? 1t
might palliate the evil Of such work IL
tales of this description ended in direst
misery, but they do not; and to turn a
heroine into clay ana then make her future
blissful is. even from the artistic point of
view, a crime. Any author or authoress
who has won the esteem of a critical pub
lie by genuine high-class work, and then
offers that which he cannot recommend
with a clear conscience, deserves the un-
bounded contempt of public opinion and
should suffer humiliation.
1t is not many centuries since authors
were exiled, imprisoned, or perhaps be-
headed, for a word derogatory to the King,
while the offending books were burned. In
this twentieth century, when the entire i'm
pulse of our country is towards refinement
of various kinds, it is the virtues that are
enthroned. None should praise them like
an author. nor any other be so royalty in
clined as he, while in none should treason
be deemed more contemplate or more
severely punished. X.

FOUND INSANE in PARIS
FRANkOs, A GREEK BOY, OF TERRE
HAUTE, is DEMENTED.
Letter to Supt. Taffe from ONCE Of
Consul General at Paris Gives
the Information.

Some time ago the consul general of the
United States at Paris corresponded with
the police department of this city in refer
ence to a demented lad who was found on
the streets of Paris. 1t was thought that
he came from either indianapolis or Terre
Haute, as some of the clothes which he
wore at the time were marked in that man
ner. For DAYS. it is said, he wandered
around the streets of Paris. unable, on &C
count of his affection. to talk or tell where
he belonged.
Superintendent Taffe on the receipt of the
letter from the consul general at once took
the matter in hand and began a search for
the parents or relatives of the lad. After
several days search it was found that he
was a Greek boy, who had at one time lived
in Terre Haute, but had, several months
before, left this country for his home in
Greece. The information secured by the In
~dianapolis police department was at once
forwarded to the authorities in Paris, and
yesterday Superintendent Taffe received the
following letter from the Office of the con-
sui general.
'In the absence of the consul general j
beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter
of the Sd inst, and TO thank you for the
iNtSNlo ohN
relative to the Greek boy, Christos p.
Frankos, who was found by the police In
Paris in May last. Yesterday l called at
the AISLE Ste. Anne and saw the lad. i
regret to say he seemed weak-minded and
did not respond to his name or those OF
any of his relatives. L was also Informed
that he has never been heard to speak,
though he is not believed to be a mute. As
there seemed no doubt whatever that he
was the boy so fully described by your
correspondents, / gave the asylum author
tiles all the in my possession,
and to-day, at the suggestion of the consul
general of Greece at New York, who wrote
to this office on the subject, L have COM
municated with the Greek consul general in
this city. who will doubtless communicate
with the relatives.
IF anything further is learned in regard
to this matter / will be pleased TO inform
you; and permit me at this time to thank
you cordially for the assistance you have
rendered this office. / am, sir,

few things about the business, 'if imita-

singularly enviable position in the world Of
mild narcotic pleasures. The annual pro-
duction of the famous brand of tobacco is
between 10000 and $1,000 pounds, the total
production of the world-famous vacheries
of ST. James parish Yet IL IS of record, ac-
eording 10 the statement OF a drummer
who was recently in New Orleans. that his
house uses 200. 600 pounds of perique tobacco
a year as an ingredient of one of the
'perique mixtures supplied to the smoking
public OF America. Where the perique
comes from the drumme does not know.
but he knows that his house last year sold
periuue mixture in volume sufficient to ac-
count for the disposal of four or five times
the entire production of the genuine perique
crop.
The term 'perique CROP however. is a
misnomer. for perique tobacco is not a
natural product. but manufactured. A par

The H~ollenbeck Press, the Oldest printing

The Hollenbeck Press has outgrown its
plant at Meridian street and the Circle and
its enormously increasing business demands
q much larger plant and the best possible
equipment. According TO the plans. which
are practically completed, the new plant

the country.
The company has not yet decided where
the new plant will be located, it is under
stood. The company has an option on
several tracts OF land a short distance out
NON the downtown district and OWNS a
piece Of land on Washington street near
the Belt railroad. and the new plant may
&c locaSed on one OF these. II this is
done the company will establish an office
down town.
The five buildings will each be 200 feet
long and forty feet wide and will be con-
structed of cement, brick and steel. They
will be fireproof. In addition to these the
company will build a separate building for
