CLUB MEMBERS GREET
NEW YEARS COMING
Vaudeville Programme and Even
ing's Jollity at the Column
bia Club.

New Years Eve; Something Begins at 10
p. m..' was the placard hung in the lobby
of the Columbia Club that announced the
annual New Years Eve entertainment of
the club, one of the most successful ever
given. A vaudeville programme was given
in the ballroom, to which actors from shows
at local houses contributed.
Snyder and Buckley, musical comedians,
made the hit of the evening, in the same
act they are giving at the Grand this week.
Others on the programme were Cook and
Don, in THE Captain and the Kidder;"
Miss Minnie May Thompson, singing and
dancing coincidence; Joe Walker, monOlo-
gist, and the Cain Sisters and Little Abel, I"
in coon songs and dances.
At n:O the company adjourned to the
grill room, where the New Year was well
coined in the same old way that the
younger members of the club have well
coined it for years. Just before midnight
the lights in the grill room were turned out.
At the stroke of u the whole company rose
TO their feet and drank a toast to the New
Year with the singing of "Auld Lang Syne"
as the lights were again turned on. The pro-
gramme was arranged by the entertainment
committees.

Every year makes it's own history, an
unwritten book at the beginning. but at the
end crowded with big events. Probably
since men began to keep records no year has
closed that has not appeared, in the
retrospect, one of unusual interest and i'm
~portance. The year 1903, that came in
with its future masked, goes out with a
history-making record equal to any of its
predecessors. To recall the important
events of the year would be waste of time
for a people who read the history of each
day and who care more for tomorrow
than they do for yesterday. There is more
money as well as fame in prophecy than
there is in history. and he who could fore
cast the events of 1904 would be a much
bigger man than he who records those of
1903.
The opening of the year does not alto
gether fulfill the Christmas promise of
peace on earth. There are war clouds in
more than one quarter. A Russian paper
calls attention to the fact that wars marked
the opening of the seventeenth, eighteenth
and nineteenth centuries. 1t might lave
added of the twentieth century also, for it is
entering on it's fourth year and has not
been free from war yet. Referring to the
Russo-Japanese situation the Russian paper
says: "There is no war to-day; tomorrow
there may be war" 1t is always the to-
morrow that puzzles the world. and in
that capacity for concealing its secrets
and the knowledge of h tomorrow may
bring forth the new year resembles all of
it's predecessors at their beginning.
This much we know: the year 1908 was
one of great prosperity for the United States
and the year 1901 opens auspiciOusly. Con-
lecture as to the possibilities of 1903 has
given way to history, and as far as this
country and people are concerned it is a
record of general prosperity and happiness
with only such individual exceptions as
every year must bring. That the new year
may bring more of both to all the people
and less of crime and death-dealing acct
dents and disasters is the sincere wish of

A perusal of the review of local trade for
the year just ended cannot fail to impress
every one with the immense volume and
steady increase of the business of Indianap-
oils. In every lire of trade a marked i'm

ket has remained in a normal condition

words of a prominent local bankers, trans

stock values has been only from one TO ten

twenty TO one hundred points in the Sc

The banks of the city on Nov. II showed a
larger percentage of legal reserve than the

including ST. Louis, Chicago. New York,
Philadelphia and San Francisco. The tight
money market of recent months had very
little effect either on Indianapolis or other
cities OF this State. Local conditions serve
to show how Wall street has lost the power
1t had ten years ago TO dictate prosperity
or panic TO the West. Twelve months ago
the country seemed to be on the verge of
serious financial trouble. Stock values had
been inflated and credits injudiciously ex-
banded. Too much paper value and not
enough money was the state Of affairs
which confronted Wall street. Serious dis

BROWN PLEADS GUILTY
AND RECEIVES SENTENCE
Former Clerk of Criminal Court
VIII Be Sent to the S>ate
Reformatory.
CHARGE AGAINST HIM

Charles Brown, former clerk in the Grim
inal Court of Marion county, will begin the
new year as a State prisoner. At 9 o'clock
last night he was quietly taken before Judge
Afford and, after pleading guilty 70 the
charge against him-that OF altering a pub
lie record-was sentenced to State Prison
for a term OF not less than six months nor
more than fourteen years.
The particular crime charged against
Brown carries this kind of a penalty. IL
was claimed hat Brown, by means OF a
system of altering the record in the Grim
inal Court, was able 10 retain certain fines
that came into his possession. In court he
made no denial Of the charge, and there
was no attempt o. his part TO Justify his
act. He made the request himself that he
be |allowed to appear before the court
quietly, without attracting attention, and.
when he learned that Judge Afford was 10
be in the courtroom last night, he asked
that his case be disposed OF.
1t is estimatedsthat Brown. as an official
Of the court, has read verdicts to two or
three hundred condemned men. many Of
whom are now doing time in the institution
TO which he Is TO be sent. Brown, IL Is said,
is Of a particularly sympathetic nature, and
on numerous occasions has shown consid-
cradle feeling In reading a sentence. IL -
recalled by the States attorneys that 10

very popular With lawyers who practiced
in the Criminal Cdurt, and there was gen

gone wrong. He Rss a young wife. who has

Anti-administration papers are ridiculing
Secretary Root because he praises the mill
tary career of General Wood. That ca
reer,' mocks one of these papers, "only
extended over a period of ninety days. Is
that a fact? These critics have forgotten
something. General Wood received a medal
of honor and the hanks of Congress for
his services against the Apaches in Ari-
that the success of the campaign in the
pursuit of Geronimo was mainly due tic
Leonard Wood. His military career did not
begin with the Santiago c-ampaign-nor did
it end there, as his services in Jolo loudly
proclaim.

DIGBY BELL Talks
OF IROOUOIS FIRE

Digby Bell was one of the De Wolf Hopper
company who registered at the Claypool last
evening. The company came on from Mil
waukee yesterday and stopped for several
hours in Chicago on the way.
While in Chicago Mr.. Bell talked with his
friend, Sam Reed, a member of the Mr..
Bluebeard' company that was playing al
the Inflated IroquOis at the time of the fire.
Reed told me a peculiar thing" said Mr..
Bell. '"The two Wednesday matinees prev
ious to the one at which the fire happened
had miserable houses, so poor that the man.
agement of the house thought seriously OF
cutting out last Wednesdays matinee. But
this Wednesday they had an $500 house,
and then the fire came. with the theater
packed TO the doors"

SYSTEM OF TITHING
PROVES Il SUCCESS
Receipts of Memorial Church
Larger than in the Pre-
ceding Year.

The annual meeting of the congregation
of Memorial Presbyterian Church was held
last night at the church. Reports of Off
GERS and boards were all encouraging. The
financial report showed that the receipts
for the year were $500 under the tithing
system which has been in vogue two years.
The receipts exceeded those for the year
previous by $1,000. OF the last years income
$500 was expended for the current work
of the church and $1,000 was devoted to
benevolences and charitable work. Thirty
seven new members were added during the
year. The pastor is Rev. Frank O. Bal
lard. The officers elected last night fol-
low.
E~lders-Frank E. Brown, A. ]. Johnson
and B. j. G.. Howe.
Deacons-Carlisle Smith, Lot Lee, Harry
McLeland, b. ~ Richardson, jr., and Otto
George.
Trustees-George w. Brown and Samuel
o. DUNCAN.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1904-01-01

The best effects OF such q political con
ference as that Of Wednesday are felt long
after it is over. While the conference lasts
the dominant feelings are pleasurable ex-
element at meeting old friends and max
ing new ones. the inspiration begotten by
an interchange of views and the enthusi-
asm inspired by good speeches. The con-
tact and friction of bright minds produces
a kind of mental electricity that acts as a
moral uplift. Iron sharpeneth iron; so a
man sharpeneth the countenance of his
friend"
But these emotions are in their nature
ephemeral. and If they were the only re-
suit of a political love feast it would hardly
be worth the holding. The aftermath is
better than the first crop. This comes in
the form of quickened intelligence and
alertness Of the party press, increased
energy in organization and general over
hauling of campaign machinery prepara-
tory to the coming contest. Since the love
feast the leading Republicans of Indiana
know that the party is united, harmonious
and confident, and every one who attended
it went home to start a propaganda on that
line. 1t might almost be said that the Re-
publican campaign of 1904 in this State
has been opened, for the seed sown on
Wednesday is as sure to spring VI and
bear fruit next year as is the wheat now
sleeping in the soil.
The speeches on the occasion were un-
usually good and will furnish the press
with many texts and keynotes. The Re
publican party hardly realizes how much
it owes to the press. There are ninety
two counties in Indiana and newspapers
are published in all of them. Papers are
published in 35S cities and towns of the
State. OF the $50 papers published in the
State, 152 are daily, 612 are weekly, and the
rest are semi-weekly or tri-weekly. Near
ly all Of these are party papers. and a
majority are Republican. THAI they have
been the most potential factor in building
up the Republican party in this State is
beyond question. Outside papers have
helped some, speakers, organizers and
party leaders have contributed their full
share, but the home press has been the
main factor. Il have planted, Apollos
watered; but God gave the increase" wrote
the apostle. Paraphrasing this one might
say orators may plant and organizers may
cultivate, but it is the press, laboring un-
ceasingly. that gives the increase. Excel
lent and inspiring as were the speeches
of Wednesday, they would nave reached
but few persons had not the press sent
them broadcast throughout the State, to
be produced and reproduced in different
forms and with cumulative effect by local
orators, the local press and heart-to-hear
takers. Thus the press will help to con-
serve the good results of the love feast
and prolong the aftermath until it shall
eliminate in another glorious Republican
victory on the Sth of next November.

GREENFIELD GAS CASE
IS NOW BEING ARGUED
Company Was Granted a Perpet-
ual Franchise to the Streets
of the Town
CONTENTION OF COUNSEL

Argument was begun before Judge Allen,
of the Circuit Court, yesterday in the in
junction suit brought by the City of Green
field against the Greenfield Gas Company
to prevent the company from discontinuing
service to its patrons in Greenfield. The
city of Greenfield is represented by James
Z. Mccullough, of this city, and Marsh &
Cook, of Greenfield. Ferd Winter is the
local counsel for the gas company.
Mr.. Mccullough, for the city. opened the
argument. He contended that the gas
company was under contract to furnish gas
to the citizens of Greenfield, evidenced by
a perpetual franchise granted to it by the
city, under which It was to occupy the
streets of Greenfield with its mains and
pipelines forever. If the gas is shut OF,
Mr.. Mccullough commended, the gas COM
pany would violate it's franchise. The ar
gument will be concluded to-day.
