Pleasing Program Given in Wild.
er Hall Last Night for
Benefit of kindergarten.
HALL WAS CROWDED.
Audience Was Greatly Pleased, with Per-
formanCes-Local Talent Wins LaureIs
for Themselves-Between Plays a De-
lightfuI Musical Program was Rem
dered.

The play given annually for the
benefit of the Free kindergarten up.
held its excellent standard last night
This has come to be one of the leading
society events of the season and its
success demonstrates the popularity
which it has attained. Wilder Hall,
with seating capacity of 900, was
filled and the audience was most en-
thusiastic.
Those old fashioned plays "Box &
Cox" and "The Loan of Lover
were given in a delightful style while
between the acts a pleasing program
was rendered which was highly appre-
ciated. In this DR.. G. w. Fithian
recited "Uncle Remus," H. Enrich
gave mandolin solo. He was accom-
panied by Mrs. o. Lachmund. Miss
Koehler recited "Frau Eve," and Mr..
Enrich appeared again, playing Caval-
erla Rusticana, intermezzo. Fred
Cox began and closed this part of the
program with piano selections.
Clancy D. Boynton, as Box, @.
CONSTANTINE Pooth rs Cox, and Mrs.
A. Browning as Mrs. Bouncer, dis.
tinguished themselves for fun max ing
in the farce "Box and Cox" Mrs.
Bouncer had rooms to let aud as Box
worked all night and slept during the
day and Cox worked during the day
and slept nights, she let them both
have the same room and neither were
the wiser until Cox had day off and
the trouble began. The peculiar in
cidents were amusing and the audi
ence was kept in a round of merri-
ment.
In the "Loan of a Lover" the char
acters were Captain Amersfort, J. M.
Shelley; Peter Spyk, Harry Stiff
Swyvel, DR.. f. W. Kitohel; Welve,
William P. VanWyck; Gertrude, Mrs.
@. @. Siblev; Ernestine Rosendall,
Mrs. Louis Greenley. 1t was case
of Miss Rosendall having more lovers
than she needed and Gertrude, who
was a servant, having none, SO Cap
tain Amersfort, who was an admirer
of Miss Rosendall, was loaned to Ger.
trude that she might win the man
she wanted, who was Peter Spyk. OF
course it all ended in the right way.
All the characters took their parts ex.
ceptionally we'll. The scenery and
costumes were good and the play was
decided success. The large sale OF
tickets means neat income for the
Kindergarten.

Decides individuals Cannot
Dodge Payment of
Assessments.
WHAT mr.. BURNS SAYS
Supreme Court Holds that the Constitution
Does.not Permit Any Tax Exemption TO
Persons-AppIies to all Firemen, veter-
ans of Civil War, their Widows and
Members of the National Guard.

Trenton, N. j., Nov. 10:-The New
Jersey Supreme Court rendered yester
day number of decisions among which
was al important one bearing on the
question of taxation. The court held
to be unconstitutional the law under
which fremen are allowed exemption
from taxation on property to the value
of $500. The Court holds that the
Constitution dnes not permit any tax
exemptions to persons, SO that today 's
decision applies equally to veterans of
the civil war, their widows and mem
bers OF the National Guard, who have
been allowed exemptions.
This decision will mean taxation
throughout the State of 80, ,749, 900
worth of property now exempt.
The court distinguishes in it deci-
sion between the exemption of pro-
perty such as churches and the exemp-
tion of individuals. The exemption
of particular class of property, the
court holds, is constitutional, but
that 1t is not constitutional to exempt
indWiduais Where the State h. :
return to the property they own.
When Joseph G. Burns, president of
the State Fireman's 8 Exempt Associa-
tion, was seen this morning, in regard
to the decision of the Supreme Court,
he said that as yet the association had
done nothing concerning the matter
and he had received no word beyond
that in the papers. Within "a week,
he said, there will probably be meet
ing of the Executive Committee. The
only thing the Exempts can do is to
take the case to the Court of Errors
and Appeals. Here it will probably
die as that court will sustain the de,
cision of the Supreme court. This
decision affects people here very
materially as there are large number
of exempt firemen here and also veter-
ans of the Civil War.

Real Ladies'.

One genuine hall mark Of profound prov
incialism these days is the benighted opin-
lon on the part of city dwellers north,
south, east or west that no people of
courtesy or culture abide in small towns.
AS rule residents of the lesser communi-
ties who have the bent for art books and
self-improvement on other lines have more
time to devote to these pursuits, for the
reason that city diversions-the theater and
the social struggle-do not intervene. Not
long ago an amusing exhibition of this pat
ronizing tendency toward villagers was
overheard on train bringing club women
from joint club meeting at a smaller
Indiana town. "A quaint middle-aged lady
with old-fashioned wavy gray hair and
somewhat eccentric taste in garb, was audi
bly, reviewing the club women of the little
city from which she was returning to her
home in the larger place.
There were ladies in Charlesburg, real
ladies'" commented the quaint city wo-
man, in a meditating tone. II knew them
to be ladies by their address and conversa-
ton"

My Lady.

She walks unnoticed in the street:
The casual eye
Sees nothing in her fair or sweet:
The world goes by,
Unconscious that an Angels feet
Are passing nigh.
She little has of beauty's wealth:
Truth will allow
Only her priceless youth and health,
Her broad white brow;
Yet grows she on the heart by stealth,
1 scarce know how.
She does a thousand kindly things
That no one knows;
A loving woman's heart she brings
To human woes;
And to her face the sunlight clings
Where'er she goes.
And so she walks her quiet ways
With that content
That only comes to sinless days,
And innocent;
life devoid of fame or praise.
Yet nobly spent.

NINE CLASSES SHOWN.
Description of the Second Nights Per


The performance was begun few min

animated one than Monday night and
there seemed to be more spirit to the show
than at the opening performance.
The exhibition of the horses In the run
about class. which was open to both foreign
and local exhibitors, was the first class on
the programme. In the class were King
Lee. a brown gelding owned by w. G. Carl

This was one Of the largest classes of the
evening. One by one the ten fine horses
stepped out into the tanbark arena and

the horses made such a good appearance
that at first the audience did not lean to
any of them. But after they had been
driven up and down and around and around
the arena the crowd began to show par
tiality for King Lee, Mary Louise and Har-
ry Blackwell. To the ordinary individual
who cannot judge the merits of a horse
finely il seemed that Ii was a quandary
which Of these three was the best. After
all the others were lined up I'm the center
of the arena the JUDGES had King Lee and
Mary Louise and Harry Blackwell driven
around two or three times by themselves.

closely.

York. King Edward. a fine bay horse
owned by George Pepper of Toronto. Can.
won the first prize. Together with two
other horses he jumped the hurdles at 6
feet, inches.
Right after the end of the contest King
Edward cleared the hurdles at 6 feet, 6
inches. But his record in the contest is
feet. inches, for he failed to clear the
higher mark in three trials.
Then, just as if he wanted to show the
judges that he could jump higher than he
did it seemed, for he did it so easily, he
cleared the bars at six and half feet just
as easily as he did when they were four
inches lower.
A LOCAL CLASS.
The feature of the programme of most
interest to Indianapolis people, perhaps, was
the class designated in the catalogue: pair
harness horses Qocal)" This exhibition
did great deal to show the people of this
city that there are some very fine driving
horses owned by the citizens of Indian
apolis. and that the general appointment
of the equipages shown in the strictly local
classes compares favorably with the equip
ages of the leading horse-show exhibitors
here. William r. Brown won the first
prize on his Lady Jane and Mary Brown.
The second prize went to +. NJ Murphy
and the third to CORTLAND Van Camp
In the runabout class the first on the
programme, w. G. Carling, of ST. Paul who
is showing here some of the best light
harness horses in the central West, took the
first prize.
Carrick & Ward, of Georgetown, KY,
won the first prize in the gated saddle
horse contest on their sorrel mare YOU
vaughn. The same exhibitors also won the
second prize.
Creighton and Parader, owned by George
Pepper, were awarded the first prize in the
tandem team class w. b. White, of Cleve-
land, o., won the second prize.
Thistledown, one of the best-trained
horses ever seen in this city, took the first
prize in the high-school championship.
Columbus, an old high-schooI horse, took
the second prize.
In the light-delivery class, entirely local,
the Somerville Laundry Company was
awarded the first prize.
