WINNER WAS AWARDED
GENEROUS APPLAUSE

In abiding to the high school oratorical
contest held on Friday evening, Mr. A. +.
Potts, who was one of the judges. said to
the Journals Il think great injustice has
been done to the high school students pres
ent at the recent contest in the statement
that the award of the judges in favor of
Taylor, the colored contestant was received
with Kisses and created a disturbance that
had to be quelled. AS a matter of fact
Taylor'S effort was received with the most
generous applause from the whole audience
of students, even from the little groups
who were there obviously as champions of
others in the contest. The award met
almost universal approval and it is a shame
that after such generous and sympathetic
treatment toward a colored boy that his
rivals and their friends and the whole
school should rest under the imputation Of
having been rude and i'll hammered. Per
sonally, | do not believe that contests
where such rivalry must exist between the
white and black students are conducive to
the friendly feeling which is so easily
strained and am glad TO learn that they
not to be continued. But so far as
the affair of Friday night is concerned no
set of young people could have shown a
more generous spirit or accepted a situa-
ton with more grace or decorum."

WOMEN TO BRANCH OUT
At THE WORLD'S FAIR
They Will BE Represented in Art,
Education, Manufactures, Min
ing and Agriculture.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ST. LOUIS, March 19.-Woman's work
at the worlds fair will not as heretofore be
sequestered in a building by itself, as If
unworthy to compete with that of men; il
will be classified with the achievements of
the sterner sex. compelling recognition or
defeat according to its worth.
The board of lady managers has the priv
ilege of appointing woman on every jury
to pronounce on the merit of woman's
work. Feminine handicrafts will be more
generally exploited than ever before and
women will be represented in art, educa-
ton, manufactures, metallurgy, agriculture
forestry, horticulture, transportation. ETC.
Women have but one building distinctly
their own, the board of lady managers be-
ing comfortably housed in a spacious struc-
ture. Never before has such considerable
sum been employed in hospitality; these
women intend to keep open house for the
entertainment of the various clubs and pa
triotic organizations.
Every state building will keep open house
most of them being presided over by a
woman. The visiting organizations OF
women will make a brave showing.

 An application from s H. Yeomans for:a permit to extend the ornamental part of his new store front on Broad- way few inches outside of the proper ty lire, was ou recommendation by the committee on public works, granted.
 Dog taxes were reported coming in slowly, 54 being paid up to Saturday night.
 The city funds were o'erdrawn Some s2SOO chiefly on account of the heavy expenses for construction of the water works. The treasury will, however, very soon show a balance on the right side of the ledger, as sS5OO Of license money will be in in few days.
 The action of Acting-Mayor King in permitting the P. & A R X N. Co. to set poles for their electric light system in accordance with the recently grant ed charter, was approved by the coun- Gil,
 Assessor J. J. Burns turned in the completed assessment roll for the year, and after the adjournment of the coun- cil it's members convened and organ ized as board of equalization, w. B.. King being chosen chairman, and w. S. NcKean, secretary.
