Bad Fire at Anderson.

Anderson. Ind, May y.-rIre broke
out on the fourth floor of the Hotel
Doxey, and in half an hour loss Of
$4,000 was sustained. Timers were
at work at an early hour yesterday
morning on the mansard roof of the
hotel. and 1t is thought that they
dropped live Goals on the woodwork.
The flames originated in the north
east corner of the hotel and worked
down to the fourth floor. The fire
spread rapidly and went from the east
to the west end of the building under
the roof. 1t was fierce and difficult
fame for the firemen.
One Woman Took . Risk.
Before the fire was extinguished the
entire hotel was flooded with water,
adding to the damage, which is esti-
mated to be at least $4,000. on the ho-
tel furnishings and at least 5000 on
the building. There were about thirty
FIVE guests In the hotel, and some were
still at breakfast, but all escaped, to-
gether with the employees, without In
jury, but some Of their effects are bad
~ water soaked. Miss Minnie Meyers
rushed to her room on the fourth floor
to get her clothing and fell uncon-
scious from suffocation. The iremen
rescued her, but she is still in seri-
Gus condition. Mrs. John Freeman also
had to be carried out Of the hotel.
Spells Some @. A. R Arrangements.
The hotel was badly damaged, es-
pecially by water. This is especially
unfortunate at this time, inasmuch as
the Doxey is one of the largest no.
tells in the city, and it had arranged
to accommodate 400 guests during the
G. A. r. state encampment next week.
The Doxey was to be the official head
quarters of the women of the G. A r.,
and several social functions had been
arranged. to occur there during the
coming week.

Los Community OF Interest.

The Indians of northwestern Kan
saS own many miles of fine cattle
range in that section, and for years
they summered cattle on their reser-
vatlons for 81 head. Then the cat
tie owners began bidding against each
other for the choicest corners of the
range, and the aborigine calmly lit a
fresh pipe and said that he thought
that he must really charge SO for each
steer. This was willingly paid, and
red man opened his eyes and began to
give the matter little serious
thought, which resulted in the quiet
announcement few days ago that
the range interested bad been pooled
and that the price would hereafter be
S. steer for pasturage. The cattle
raiserS were fairly caught, and many
will pay the advanced price, as they
have no time to make othe- grazing
arrangements.
Thus does Los untutored mind alb
sorb the ideas of modern financial CIV
ilization. He can scarcely be blamed
for following the example of his white
brothers in adopting the community
of interest" plan now SO widely prev
alent.

get fifteen Thousand dollars in cold

to receive $500; John and James
Shea, $500 each; Daniel J. Mccarthy,

In his excellent address at Indian
apolis Booker T. Washington present
ed some facts worthy Of consideration
In educating white people as well as
persons Of color. He said in part:
"For number Of years l have ad-
vocated the Industrial development Of
the col0red people, but not with a
view of in any way cramping them or
hindering their development in other
directions. On the other hand, be-
heve in the most thorough education
Of our people. At the same time be-
! lieve that while the head is being ed
ucated the hand and heart should be
trained also, and especially do l be-
lieye in the training of the hand to do
well the things that are right about
us. In proportion as the negro learns
to do common thing in an uncom-
mon manner; in proportion as he
learns to do thing better than some
body else, will he find an opening for
his talents, and l believe that in pro-
portion as we get upon our feet in a
material direction that other OppOr-
tunities will be afforded US. All races
that haye made progress have done so
largely by LAYING an economic founda-
ton. and the negro can be no excep-
tion to the rule.
''At the Tuskegee institute in Ala
bama from the first we have laid es-
pecial emphasis upon agricultural
training. We have done this in the
first place because IS per cent. of our
people in the gulf states live by some
form of agriculture, and l believe that
in the education of any people especial
stress ought to be laid upon the main
industry out of which they get their
living We began teaching agricu.-
ture in 1881, with one hoe and blind
mule. That industry has gradually
grown until our students now Guilt
vate quite 1900 acres of land. We
not only emphasize agriculture for the
reason that it teaches the people how
to get their living, but in proportion
as they learn to love agricultural life
In the same proportion will they be
kept out of the large cities.
II believe that with their present
state of development our people are
at theft best whe1 owning and culti-
waiting the soil in the country dis
tricus, and in too many cases they are
at their worst when in contact with
the severe competition and tempta-
lions of city life. If our people can
be Taught to remain upon
the soil until they get strength, ex-
perience and intelligence, in this way
they will lay foundation for their
growth which will result in their get
ting permanently and safely upon
their feet. 1t has got to be through
the slow, safe evolution along these
lines that we must look for perma-
nent success. No race can begin at
The top aud succeed. Our progress
must be up through the soil, up
through commerce and education to
the highest and best things in life.

Editors and Politicians.

The purchase of the indianapolis
Journal by Hon. Charles L. Henry. Of
Anderson, ex-congreSSman and lead
ing republican politician, has started
considerable political gossip as to the
reason and intentions of this new
move upon the political chess board.
Some say that Henry wants to succeed
Beverage and that the paper was
bought to strengthen him. We be-
lieye that Henry is too good politi-
clan to figure it out that way. Few
men ever strengthen themselves polit-
ically, by owning a newspaper, espe-
cially newspaper such as we believe
that Henry will conduct. A news
paper says many things 10 the course
of events. that do not meet the APP
prevail Of its party. Its course is
often at angles with its party manag-
els and 1t many times plays at cross
purposes with even personal friends.
The successful politician now days
seems to be the fellow who never ex-
presses an opinion, nor takes any part
in politics unless he is q candidate and
then he puts in his time trying to
avoid responsibilities by shaking
hands, kissing babies, making society
speeches and being a good fellow

EyebaIl Turned to Stone.

An operation for the removal of an
eye Thursday morning at the Holy
Family hospital brought TO light a
most unusual circumstance. one which
in medical annals is considered rar-
ity. After removing the right eye of
Philander LOOMS of WeStville, which
for ii years has been totally blind, 1t
was found that it had turned to stone.
Eleven years ago while playing with
his brother Young Loomis, then 8
years old, had accidentally been struck
i'm the eye with the knife blade, rem
dering him totally blind in that optic.
AS no difficulty was experienced the
ball was not removed, but recently the
sight of the left eye became affected
and it was decided that in order TO
save the sight it would be necessary
to remove the right eyeball. The op.

morning by DR.. NJ. S. Smith at the
hospital and the surprise of the opera

was great when it was found that the
eye had turned to limestone, the stone
being as large as an ordinary marble.
The formation of the limestone SIS &C.

The only defense made by ex-Mayor
Ames, of Minneapolis, charged with
boodling. Is that he was mentally ir-
responsible during the several years
that the corruption was in progress.
II cannot be deemed singular that in
this, as in similar cases. the mental
alteration did not effect the ability
of the accused to get every dollar 10
sight and salt it carefully away. The
insanity, in other words, merely OBJ
scured moral perception, but left the

For Sunday Base Ball.

Indianapolis, May s. The Indi-
annapolis Athletic association has filed
a demurrer to the complaint of Elmer
c. Jones for IN injunction against Sun
day base ball in Indianapolis. The
chief contention of the owners Of the
ball club is that Sunday ball is not
a public nuisance. 1t is averred that
an injunction cannot issue unless it
can be shown that the plaiAtiff Is q
greater sufferer than other residents in
the immediate neighb0rho0d of the
park. 1t is averred that a number of
persons in this instance must be con-
cerned before public nuisance is con.
stituted. The ball club owners filed q
brief in support of the demurrer.
