A Great CAPITAL CITY.

indianapolis, like Jerusalem, "a citv
at unity with ITSELF" where the tribes
assemble, and where the seat Of iudg-
ment is established, is in every sense
The capital Of all the Hoosiers. With
the exception of Boston and Provi-
dence it is the largest state capital in
the country, and no other American
city without water communication is
as large. 1t is distinguished primarily
by the essentially American character
OF its people. The total foreign born
population of indianapolis at the last
census was only 1900 whereas Hart
ford which is only half the size of
the city of Indianapolis, returned D.
900; Rochester, with 1000 fewer peo-
pie, returned 10000, and Worcester.
i'll a total of 11SOO0, reported $1,000 as
foreign born. A considerable body of
Germans and German-Americans have
contributed much to the making of the
city, but the town has been passed
over by the Swedes, Poles and Bohe-
mians that are to be reckoned within
many American cities. There are,
however. 5000 negro voters in the city.
indianapolis is marked again by the
stability Of its population. A large per-
centage Of the householders own their
homes, and substantial body Of labor

Catching gulls and other sea fowl by
a baited hook and line is barbarous
practice which is sometimes resorted
to by sailors. The same method was
employed in former times for catching
herons y lcng line Of silk. with Il
strand Of wire twisted in, was fixed to
a stone at one end and to hooks at the
other. The bait was then put out in
shallow water. where the birds seek
their food. either in q stream or ut the
edge of pond. When the heron pouch
ed the bait the hooks lodged in his gull
let. and the strand of wire in the line
prevented it from being bitten through.

WHY BrninsI,i Left.

Bruinski, the pet bear of the Column
bias jackies, was not sent to the zoo
because he tried to eat the captain S
dog. says an officer of the ship, but be-
cause he turned 4 solemn ceremony in
to Il farce. Every day after dinner
Bruinski and his particular friends in
dulged in a nap. Bruinski stretched
himself out on the deck, and his chums
spread themselves around him, using
him as a pillow. Just after Captain
Wilde took command of the yard he
sent word that he was going to visit
the ship at a certain hour.
The men were mustered as quickly
as possible to receive him with all the
honors. Bruinski's friends. with the
others, responded to the boatswain's
call, but Bruinski slumbered on until
after the men were all lined up on
deck. Then he reused and. missing
his friends, went to seek them. He
mounted to the deck where the men
were lined up and, erect on his hind
feet. passed slowly down the long line
until he came to the group of his as
sOciates.
Then he turned and. backing slowly,
wedged himself into the line. His sol
emn yisage ana pendulous paws were
too much for the commandant as well
as the other officers. The ceremony
was cut short and Bruinski hustled
below. The captain of the ship thought
the presence of the bear could be dis
pensed with after that, and he received
permanent shore leave.-Philadelphia

Pronunclations That signiaed.

Senator Stone of Missouri once made
a famous remark to the effect that the
only way to "carve" a watermelon is
to bust 'er." He said, however, in
recent interview that every state has
its own peculiar way of doing things
and, among others, its own style of
pronouncing words 1T is related"
said the senator to a Des MOines
Times reporter, that, when the first
tide of New England settlers began
to drift to Kansas, Missourians tied
COW at each crossing of the Mis-
souri, river. II the emigrant said cow
he was permitted to cross, but if he
pronounced it 'keow' he was told to re
turn to the east, because the natives
We're satisfied he was an evil minded
abOlitionist. The Kansas people evened
up by tying a bear on their side of
the river. and if the emigrant said
bear he was given the right hand Of
fellowship. but if he pronounced it
bar he was given an hour to get back
to Missouri, because he was an adyo-

RLAcKLIsT susTAINEp.

A few days ago Roseland (B. CD
jury awarded heavy damages against
the western Federation of Miners. Now
a Vancouver fridge has decided that en-
ployers may agree among themselves to
refuse work to union men. The case
grew out Of the decision of an en-
cheering company to abolish the closed
shop. The employees struck, whereupon
the members Of the Employers Associa-
ton Of Vancouver announced that they
would not give work to the strikers.
The International union furnished
money with which the local carried the
matter to the courts. Conspiracy was
the charge.
1t is evident that the decision Just
given declares to be legal what is com
monty known as the blacklist. This
weapon Of employers has been bitterly
attacked for years by organized labor,
vet on several occasions 1t has been held
legal by American courts. One Of the
lower courts of Ohio has decided that
the state law is unconstitutional
which makes the discharge of a union
man, becaue of his membership In the
union, a nisdemeanor. The attitude Of
the judges passed upon the blacklist
question has been defined In this way
by one of them: Zone has the right to
enter the service of another and several
persons acting jointly in pursuance Of
an agreement to that effect have the
right 50 to decline. So one has the right
to decline to employ another and
several persons acting Jointly in the
pursuance of an agreement to that
effect have the right so to decline
However, the blacklist is about as
barbarous a weapon as a boycott and
its use should be avoided so far as pos
sfble. Buffalo Express.

A HAPPY DEVICE.

Mainly because the legal profession is
much crowded, especially in the lower
strata, suits for damages have greatly
multiplied in recent years. Some of the
increase is quite legitimate, because
business has grown immensely and
there has been little, if any, diminution
OF fatal accidents due to negligence of
corporations or their agents. To bring
q damage suit and prosecute it, where
there IS good ground for such proceed
ing, IS far from discreditabIe to the best
legal talent; but to drum up business
IN that line, as many attorneys do, and
to adopt the methods common among
those bread and butter hunting shysters
is to infiiet an intolerable grievance on
society.
Suits for malpractice have become so
common in various parts of the country
that the casualty companies are offer
ing insurance to physicians against such
litigation. Of course there are cases
lin which prescriptions for damages are
Ijustifiable. Indeed, there are some
practitioners who should be prosecuted
into the penitentiary. But taken as a
whole, the doctors of medicine con-
stitute the most altruistic of all pro-
fessions, not even excepting the clergy.
Malice and blackmail ten times more
frequently than real wrongs are re-
sponsible for these suits. Many of them
are undoubtedly settled without public
ity by capable and honorable physicians.
It is we'll therefore, that means Of
protection has been devised.
The Springfield Republican notes that
medical journals contain advertise
ments of casualty companies Offering to
issue liability policies to physicians,
surgeons, and dentists against mall
practice suits. The insurance company
agrees to defend all such suits brought
against the physician and to hold itself
liable for the amount of damage, If
any should the case be decided against
the defendant. The Republican states
that to guard against disreputable
practitioners, the policies contain a
paragraph reading:
The company shall not be liable un-
der this policy for any injuries, fatal or
|nonfatal, resulting from the violation of
any law or ordinance on the part of the
assured, nor il any alleged error, mis-
take, or malpractice has occurred while
the assured is more or less under the in
fiuence of intoxicants, anesthetics. or
narcotics
This movement is so sensible. so well
calculated to meet a real want, that it
seems strange it did not lnaterialize
years ago. washington Post.

Z i i
Rev. W. j. slocum Doesn't Approve Of
Women Appearing in Church Without
Headgear.
Waterbury, Aug. S.During the 8
o'clock yesterday morning the Rev. will
liam j. Slocum took occasion to refer to
the custom Of women appearing without
their hats at divine service and said it
was not a practice with which the
church was in accord.
The reverend gentleman was very
moderate in his allusion to the practice,
but those who heard him are positive
thathe drew theline between the church
ard the theater so plainly that all might
understand and none be offended. He
was induced to speak on this subject by
reason of the number of young women
who came into the church recently
bareheaded.

We are also informed that it is in

cotton could be made up into clothing
for the military uses of a belligerent, a

ton might therefore be extended so as
to apply to every article of human use,
which might be declared contraband of
war simply because it might ultimately

Coal and other fuel and cotton are
employed for a great many innocent
purposes. Many nations are dependent
on them for the conduct Of inoffensive
industries and no sufficient presumption
Of an intended warlike use seems to be.
afforded by the mere fact by their des-
tination TO belligenent port. The rec
ognition, in principle, of the treatment
of coal and other fuel and raw cotton as
absolutely contraband of war might ul-
timately lead to total inhibition of the
sale by neutrals to the people of bellig-
erent states, of all articles which could
be finally converted to military uses
