VETERANS AT ANDERSON
INDICATIONS ARE FOR A SUCCESS
Full WEEK.
Parade on Wednesday n Principal
Feature-Gossip Concerning the
Annual Election of Officers.

The twenty-fourth annual encampment of
the Indiana department of the Grand Army
of the Republic will be opened at Anderson
Tuesday. With propitious weather and no
untoward circumstance 1t is anticipated
that the meeting will be one of the largest
and most successful the Grand Army has
held in this State for several years. The
ranks of the veterans are thinning more
rapidly as each year passes, but Anderson
is centrally located, with excellent railroad
facilities and at least six or seven thousand
members are expected, with an equal num-
Der Of other citizens.
Wednesday will be the big day of the en-
campment, as the business sessions will
open that forenoon, and the parade will
take place at 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon,
followed by a second business session and
three campf1res at night. The parade will
be the feature Of the meeting, including all
the veterans who are able to march in the
place Of honor, Governor Durbin and the full
quota Of his military staff, and a number
of fraternal organizations and citizens.
There is usually some little politics In
the election of officers OF the department,
and this year promises to be no exception,
as there are three aggressive candidates for
department commander-George w. Grubbs,
a prominent attorney Of Martinsville, Isa-
iah B. Mcdonald. of Columbia City, attor-
ney, and for eight years member of the
board of srustees OF the State Soldiers
Home, and Russell p. Finney, of New AL
bany, an employe in the government depot
at Jeffersonvile. The position of senior
vice commander. by custom, will go to
Anderson, the city that entertains the en-
campment,. and Jerome j. Musser has been
selected for the place by the Anderson post.
There will be some little rivalry also for
the privilege of entertaining the next en-
campment.s South Bend and Fort Wayne
are both candidates, and their claims will
be well presented by large delegations. Both
of these cities have entertained the encamp-
ment in past years.
Assistant Adjutant General Richard NJ.
Smock, OF this city, Will go to Anderson to-
morrow to establish headquarters at the
Anderson Hotel. Department Commander
Benjamin starr, of Richmond, will join him
there earlys Tuesday morning.

THE FEAR OF CATS.
Scientific Inquiry Into What Most
People Consider a silly Whim.

Philadelphia Inquirer.
Dr. S. Weir Mitchell, the eminent physi-
clan, litterateur and citizen, is after data
concerning that curious phenomenon not
uncommonly known as cat-fear. From time
immemOrial there have been those who have
had no possible use for cats and could not
lars concerning which consult THE Mer-
chant OF Venice. DR.. Mitchell wants to
know more about this in the hope of discov-
ering a remedy for what appears to be
senseless nervous affection. We trust that
he will be successful, for. though there are
more persons who like cats than there are
who do not, the antipathy of certain indi-
viduals toward them is so unreasOning that
IL ought to be segregated" as they say of
microbes. and an antitoxin discovered If
possible.
The cat is not the only animal for which
there is antipathy. There are those who
cannot abide a dog. Many otherwise self
controlled persons afflicted with goose

maintain cOmpOsure. These manifestations
are subjects OF psychological study which
deserve attention. Some of them are as
cribed 10 prenatal influences. some TO Incl
dents occurring in infancy, and some TO no
known source whatever In any event to
all persons so afflicted they are sources not
only OF annoyance, but often of serious nerv-
Gus disturbance.
Ii is interesting to note how more and
more the things which were a few genera
tons ago brushed aside as of no Importance
are being studied with the closest care in
the nope or learning more ABOUT the mar
velOus mental and physical structure of the
human race Darwin has taught us to
observe and to cOllate data in the hope of
reaching generalizations- Ii is admitted
that up 10 recent times these generaliza-
tiOns have been too broad. The nineteenth
century accomplished wonders in science,
but the twentieth seems destined 10 accom-
plish more by specializing every possible
branch OF research and making inveStiga-
lions SO exhaustive that results can be &C
cepted with satisfaction by the most criti-
ca.
The fact is evident 10 any one who has
followed the course of scientific investiga-
ton in the last three years that the tenden-
cy now is TO reject much that was once con-
sidered assured and 10 go over the whole
ground anew with the most microscopic

grounded in knowledge concerning the
things which lay for SO many centuries hid
den from the wise.

highest scientific endeavor. and we trust
that he will be loaded down with data, so

JESSIE MORRISON'S CASE
DECISION OF LOWER COURT AT
FIRMED BY SUPREME COURT.
Kansas Girl Who Slew Mrs. Olin
Castle Must Serve Twenty-Five
Years in Prison.

TOPEKA, Kan, May 9.-The Supreme
Court to-day affirmed the decision of the
lower court in the case of the State VS..
Jessie Morrison. Jessie Morrison was de-
clared guilty of killing Mrs. Olin Castle.
three years ago, at the Castle home In
Eldorado. The decision means twenty-five
years Imprisonment.
The opinion. which was written by Jus
tice John C. Pollock, says: Upon the
theory of the tragedy. as maintained by
the State, the murder was a butchery of
such savage and vicious nature as is rarely
equaled, never exceeded, in the criminal
history Of the civilized world; that search
for a parallel so shocking must be insti-
tuted among the traditions of the aborigi-
mes. 1t was indeed brutal deed, utterly
lacking in mitigating or extenuating cir
cumstances, alike appalling to the mind
and shocking to the sensibilities.''
The Morrison-Castle case was the most
sensational ever tried in Kansas. Jessie
Morrison and Clara Wiley were in love
with Olin Castle, a clerk in an Eldorado
store where Miss Morrison was employed.
Within a week after Castle married Miss
Wiley the women fought in Mrs. Castle S
home with a razor. Mrs. Castle being
slashed in a horrible manner, and Miss
Morrison being badly cut. Miss Morrison.
who at her three trials alleged self-de-
Tense, asserted that Mrs. Castle had called
her into the house and started quarrel
over a letter said to have been received
by Castle from Miss Morrison At the first
trial the jury disagreed; the verdict of the
second trial, which resulted In five years
sentence, was reversed.
Miss Morrison is out on bail and is visit
ing a brother at Enid. o. I. A month ago
it was reported that she intended leaving
the country and she said: Il have been
living here happily. but it seems that my
contentment causes distress among my
enemies. They wish to create prejudice
against me in order TO affect me in the
courts"

expressing the dissatisfaction OF the army.
WASHINGTON, May 9.-Chekib Bey, the
Turkish minister. said to-day, in reference
to present troubles in the Balkan states:
THE Austro-Hungarian newspapers and
the news emanating from Vienna tend espe-
cially, since the incident at Salonica, 10
attribute the situation in Roumelia TO the
powerlessness of the imperial government.
The Sublime Porte never ceases to give the
best proofs of his good will, TO apply
promptly and completely the arranged
measures, and the material results of sue
cess bear witness to these facts. The re-
cent entrance of Omer Ruchedi Pasha into
Jakova, where he received with en-
thusiasm by the entire population, which
thus manifested its fidelity, confirms the
local intentions of the imperial govern
ment. On the other hand, with regard to
the incident at Salonica, the imperial gov
eminent has furnished perfect proof of its
strength and activity by the wise and ener-
getic measures adopted"

Tran.vaal Loan subscriptions.

LONDON, May 9.-Subscriptions to the
Transvaal loan closed at IL o'clock this
morning. The success of the loan was un-
precedented, both regards the aggre-
gate subscribed and the number of appli-
cations. 1t is said the individual subscrip-
lions for $500 and under were alone suf-
ficient to cover the loan. Estimates of the
aggregate subscribed range from Sc, 600, 900, 900
to 81, 500, 000, 600. The Rothschilds applied for
$3.50. 100000, Panmure and Gordon for $780,
coo. 600, the Credit Lionnais for 500, 900 900,
the Dresdener Bank for $4,000, 600 and the
Deutsche Bank for $125, 1000. No large
individual American applications were re-
ported. The amount of money taken up
makes the money market very stiff, but
early allotments and the return of checks
are expected to relieve the market.

HINDU VIEW OF DANCING.
''Fifteen Hundred Silly Men" at the
Durbar Ball.
London Mail.

London Mail.
In an article on the Delhi durbar ball the
Amrita Bazaar Patrika, Bengalee paper
published in English says:
I'VE are proud we have very little racial
prejudice. Perhaps the balls are all very
good in every way, but we have a right to
say what seems to us to be Objectionable in
this sort of amusement. In Europe women
folk have been reduced to an inferior posi-
ton. Here women are loving, serving and
sacrificing.
for amusement. Dress occupies almost the
entire soul of the western woman, and we
think they prove very disagreeable to their
husbands in many ways. And whenever a
unmarried girls dread it as being too cost
ly an affair. How costly are women in the
west to their guardians! And this mainly
because of their mania for dress.
In India people do not dance except
under the influence of ecstasy supposed to
be derived from piety. And they have their
gage to enjoy themselves. In Europe they
dance to exc out some enjoyment out Of it.
When India was independent women here
had the freedom to appear before men
they also danced together, man and wom-
an. But maids were not allowed to dance
were wives with other men save their
husbands.
MAIDS in our opinion should never be
allowed to dance in balls unless it be with
their brothers or future husbands. Most
of the bad marriages are possibly arranged
in this manner when the couples are in a
state of excitement due to dancing. Why
do not the Europeans adopt the ancient
Hindu custom? We think this is better
than the one they follow namely, that of
dancing with other peoples wives.
"It is said 1,500 guests attended the Delhi
ball On hearing of this one is disposed to
declare: Are there so many as $500 silly
men in India in high position?' This means
that those who take part in such amuse-
ments are silly. Undoubtedly they are.
when young men and women attend
balls for the purpose Of selecting partners
for life there is some sense in that step.
But when an elderly man with a white
beard dances with a woman of his age what
is he'll but "a statesman who has lost his
senses?"

The Board Of School Commissioners has

ss5o000 loan are probably too low. Bids
received for the erection of the colored high
school at Senate avenue and Walnut street,
which was estimated TO cost $4,000 were
