city, dropped dead in her chair Will,
sitting conversing with a neighbo'
lady in her home in the southeast par
of this city Monday afternoon. Whel,

Miss Dinsmore had tainted but an ex.

a victim of apoplexy and was dead.
Miss Dinsmore had been in her usual
health up to the moment before he :
death, and the shock was a terrlbl,
one to her two aged maiden sisters,
and the one bachelor brother who
comprised the family circle. One
especially sad feature in connection

three sisters and one brother who
lived togther, the deceased was the
only one who had not lost her eyesigh,
and she had practically full charge CT
the affairs of the family. The family
is we'll known here, having lived for
many years on the old Densmore farrn
south of town. The funeral will OCCUR

MISS HAM DENIES IT
Declares the Allegation of Potter In
Motion for New Trial to Effect That
She Was Twice Married is BLACKLIST
Lie Ever Printed.
Special to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Dubuque, Sept. 2S.-Miss Sarah r..
Ham, who was awarded damages to
the amount of $4,000 In her breach OF
promise suit at Dubuque last weeh,
vehemently denies the allegation made
by the defendant, George A. Potter, In
his application for new trial. that
she was twice married and that one
of her husbands, Fred Barrows, and
their son, will be produced as Witness
es if Il new trial is secured. TO re-
porter who called on her, Miss Ham
characterized the allegations of Potter
as the blacklist lie that was ever
printed
Potter's Allegations.
A dispatch from Duluth on Saturday
night told that Potter in his applica-
ton for a new trial made the state-
ment that he has positive proof tina,
Miss Ham was married twice and that
Fred Barrows, to whom 1t is alleged
she was married in Dyersville, in 1875,
is now living in California, and that a.
son, thirty-two years old, Is travel
ing salesman for a Sioux City drug
gist Miss Ham was not nonplusseo
when the reporter informed her that
the court records would show IL
If Sarah Ham and Fred Barrows
were married in this county. She at
once said that she was aware that a
couple giving these names had been
married there and added that as SHE
was not one of the interested parties
she knew nothing more about 1t.
What Court Records Show.
An examination of the court mar
riage license book for 1870 shows that
such a marriage was performed. The
record shows that on March % a Ii
cense was issued to Frederick Barrows,
aged 20, and Sarah Ham, aged 90. 1t
is further shown that the couple We're
married on April 8 by Rev. w. Il. Nc
Cormac. The book does not show
where the ceremony was performed.
except that it was in Dubuque county.
The license is certified to by III. A.
Rooney, then clerk of the court. The
name of the woman who was licensed
to marry Barrows Is given on the rec
ord as Sarah Ham," while the full
name Of the plaintiff In the breach of
promise suit is Sarah T.. Ham," which
is point in favor of her contention
that it was not she who married Bar
rows.
Miss Ham Interviewed.
Since her return from Duluth, Miss
Ham has been living quietly at the old
home near Eagle Point. In answer to
the reporters knock Miss Ham came
to the door. 1t is very evident TINT
she looks upon reporters with awe, for
when her visitor told her the nature of
his business she shrank back and fast
ened the screen door from the inside.

is an appeal case from the court of
Mayor Bromley. It appears that Dr..

clan of the town was arrested for using
blasphemous language and disturbing
the peace. He fought the case in the
mayors court but was found guilty and
fined $15 and costs. This he refused to
pay and took an appeal to the district
court. During the first trial an at
tempt was made to throw the case out
on the grounds that the ordinance UNI
der which it was prosecuted was de-
fectiVe, this attempt failed.

was record of local event, one con-
temporaneous with the structure itself
The Roman decoration of the time of the
Empire was contemporaneous with and re-
corded the history of that time The mo-
tives were relatively local. The decoration
of the thirteenth century was definitely ex-
pressive of the spirit, the attitude of mind
and the dominant characteristics Of the
people. 1t was both local and contem-
poraneous. The decoration of the sixteenth
century was expressive of the trend of
thought, the spirit of research and revival
of learning characteristic of that period
Out of this spirit of local or contempora-
neous expression came the worlds greatest
architecture and decoration. Since the six
teenth century the architectural and dec
orative spirit has been dormant and only
a few pusations and a few suggestions of
the possibility of architectural life have
been distinguishable.

Law. A Decoration
clean streets and alleys. garden plots and
well-kept lawns, but beauty of architec-
ture and beauty of decoration should be
looked to. The work undertaken by the
Civic Improvement League is a noble and
admirable one and the citizens who encour-
age and inspire those efforts should find the
decoration of the beautiful federal building
a fitting field for further endeavor. The
subject is one that should interest every
indianapolis citizen whether he is profess
sonally a patron of the arts or not. A
stately building demands beautiful and ap-
propriate decoration as it's right, and In
dianap polls should be alert in securing to
the handsome edifice the final finishing
beauty that fitting mural decoration would
add.
MR.. FORSYTH'S OPINION.
Opinions to the proposed decoration
were asked of a number of Indianapolis
gentlemen known to be informed in such
matters or interested in all forms of art
education and of civic improvement. Among
these was Mr.. William Forsyth, one of the
group of Hoosier artists whose work has
made Indianapolis conspicuous in the art
istic circles of the West Mr. Forsyth
