TOO COOL FOR TRIPPERS

POOR HAVEN FOR Fun.
Usual Sunday Crowd Materially Re-

Park Crowds Small.

Its too cold to go to the parks and
there isn't much in town to amuse per-

oils on Sunday when it's cold" This was
the general verdict of the excursionists
who came to indianapolis yesterday.
There were not as many Sunday excur-
sionists in Indianapolis as usual yesterday,
but those who came here on the seven one
day excursions from Cincinnati and Spring
field and Decatur and several towns over
Indiana, found a rather dull day before
them. The weather was so cool that there
was no pleasure in going TO the parks. And

into the city but they were not patronized

Indianapolis. They carried about 1000
people TO Michigan City, Cincinnati. Green

A SORRY SPECTACLE.
The excursionists presented a rather sorry
spectacle as they walked I'D and down
Illinois and Washington streets and con-
sreeated at the Union Station in the after
noon. They came here to have a good time
dull. The day was dark and gloomy.
For the first time for many weeks hotels.

81 business had their doors closed against
the chill breezes. and the Sunday pleasure
seekers had a hard time of spending the
afternoon There were band concerts and
al the rest OF the summer amusements at
the parks, it is true. but few of the pleasure
seekers had a hard time spending the
long street ride and then get cold
standing and sitting around under the
trees.

LITTLE DOING AT THE PARKS.
For the first time since the opening of
the summer amusement season three
months ago. people had little use for the
parks yesterday. There were a few hum
dre6 people at Fairview, Riverside and
Brookside Parks and Spades Place, of
course. but the park crowds were so
small that one could almost imagine
that winter had really set in Band con-

.FISHHOOK SAVES HIM
Drowning Angler Pulled Ashore
With Hook In His Palm.

Louis Labree, residing on the upper
levee, owes his life to fishhook which
caught in his hand when he fell from
boat in the Mississippi river, near the
high bridge, last night.
Labree, with three companions, was
fishing in the river when he fell over
board on account of standing UP in the
boat. In falling he seized a fish line
which was attached to the boat.
He rapidly sank in the water and the
line slipped through his hands till he
reached the end when his hand firmly
caught in the hook which imbedded
itself deeply in his palm.
One OF his companions, seeing that
he was caught, pulled on the line while
the others rowed quickly to the bank.
Labree was dragged to the bank with
the hook in his hand, as it was impos-
sible, on account of the swift current,
to lift him into the boat.
Labree. after reaching land hurried
to the Central police station, with the
hook in his hand. DR.. Moore, police
surgeon, was obliged to cut deeply into
the mans palm in order to remove the
hook.

said:
IF Speyer & Co. have decided to

agreement with the management. A

lice were called tonight to quell a riot
that developed In the semi fashionable

and a patrol wagon with officers finally
dispersed the bowling mob of young
sters

cent discharge of Prof. Eugene Whit
ney a few days ago. The crowd was
augmented by full grown men and
