self, Gov. Frazier several times
said that so long as youthful
criminals were sent to the peni-
Tertiary he would pardon them.
From such remarks it can be in
ferred that he will be in favor of
the State establishing a reforma-
tory school for youthful criminals
and will doubtless recommend
such measure to the Legisla-
ture. There is an urgent need
for an institution where youth
full criminals may be sent in
stead of sending them to the
penitentiary where they are fore
ed to mingle with old and hard
ened criminals and Of necessity
become hardened themselves.
To send a boy to the penitentiary
is to make a confirmed criminal
out of him, for his surroundings
teach and encourage him to be-
come one, and it is a disgrace to
the State that such conditions
are allowed to remain. Man

thoughts About Men,

An honest man has nothing to
fear from honest men.
If a man was compelled to do
what he wanted to he would not
want to.
The shepherd sometimes forgets
it, but he really needs the flock
more than the flock needs him.
You must keep up with the
procession if you want to hear
the music.
You can make hay while the
sun shines, but grass will not
grow without clouds and rain.
1t is not the lantern but the
candle inside it that furnishes
light.
Hard work is hard work but it
makes easy times easy.
Doing wrong is expensive.
The attorney who can tell how
safely to violate law commands
higher fee than the one who
knows only how to obey legal en-
actments.
A lawyer does not become a
necessity merely because he
knows no law.
Every man has his price; but
sometimes the other fellow hasn't
the price.-Ex.

away from her home at All Massachusetts
avenue Sunday morning and despite a
thorough search of the city by her husband,
Joseph S. Lewis, she has not been found
The police last night were asked to assist
in the search
The young woman had acted strangely

clination to leave her home Sunday morn
ing when the husband left the place for a
few minutes, the wife disappeared. She
was seen as she left, but no further trace
of her has been discovered.
The husband has searched night and day
for his young wife and is nearly frantic
with grief. He was not at the home last
night Neighbors, said, HE is looking for
his wife" and shook their heads SYM
pathetically. The man has searched night
and day since Sunday.
The neighbors say the young couple were
happy, and as far as they know, had had no
trouble of any kind. The young wife was
recently seriously Ill and was taken to a
hospital where she was confined Eve weeks

MERRY GO-ROUND SWINGS
ORDERED BY PARK BOARD
Plans Are Made for the Amuse-
ment of the Children the Com
ing Summer.

Three merry-go-round swings, for the
amusement OF the children that frequent
Riverside. Military and Brookside parks
were ordered by the Board OF Park Com
missioners at a meeting held Yesterday
morning. They will cost s275 each, but are
calculated 10 more than repay the city for
their cost in the pleasure they will give to
large numbers OF children.
Further than allowing February bills the
board transacted little additional work The
general question of providing more amuse-
nient for the little ones in the parks was
discussed. and IL is probable that more at
tention will be paid 10 this phase of the
park amusements question this summer
than ever
The bridge question was also discussed. as
the board is DESTROYS OF finding some way 10
relieve the Thirtieth-street bridge across
White river, at Riverside Park. OF the
heavy strain which IL has to bear in busv
park times. The question OF adding a foot
way on either side OF the bridge was con-
sidered. but no definite action was taken.
But two members OF the board President
Brown and Commissioner Laucks were
present at the meeting. Commissioner
Coffin is on Cuban trip and Commissioner
Merritt Is In California.

COUNCILMAN REPLIES TO
CHARGES OF A CRITIC
Proposed Measure to Impose Ex-
else Tax on GrocerS and Drug
gists Defended by Author.
LETTER FROM C. G. DAVIS

Councilman at Large Charge G.. Davis,
who has fathered an ordinance which pro-
poses to assess a tax of $3.50 per annum upon
all dealers in alcoholic beverages in In
dianapolis, irrespective of whether they are
regularly licensed saloon keepers or not,
asserts that should any saloon keeper in the
city resist the payment of the $3.50 license
fee now imposed by law he could not be
compelled to pay it, as the city charter has
made the present city license laws invalid.
Mr.. Davis's statement is made in letter
to the Journal. called forth by an article
signed by j. i. Callan.
The letter follows:
THE article signed by ]. F. Callan about
Davis being ignorant of the liquor laws is
more surprising from Mr.. Callan's past,
when he, as a publisher of a liquor trade
paper, asserts that the present city laws
are covering Everything.
The city charter has made them invalid
as they stand and should any saloon keeper
resist the payment of the $3.50 license fee
he could not be compelled to pay ii. The
ordinance is not directed against any drug
store, grocery or club.
1T applies simply to the person selling or
retailing liquors in less quantity than five
gallons at time. as amended and approved
by the General Assembly in force March
s, 1897 Page 253, two years after the pas
sage OF the Nicholson law, which was
omitted then. Unless a similar city ordi-
nance is enacted by the Common Council
Mr.. Dunn or Superintendent Kruger cannot
enforce it. The ordinance explicitly con-
forms with the State law, which was held
constitutional by the Supreme Court, CIV
ing the city the right to restrict and regu-
late tho retail liquor traffic and to fix a
license fee not TO exceed $3.50 for selling
liquor In less than five gallons at the time.
The city's funds are exhausted and
the device should be regarded as deserv-
ing way to replensh the treasury and
should be supported by the best people and
taxpayers, as the records of the internal
revenue substantiate the fact that there
are as many selling liquor without license
as there are selling with the State and city
license.
IF Mr.. Callan insists that the State laws
should be enforced he must direct his at
tention TO the superintendent OF the School
Board, which is paying a license inspector
nice little sum for not doing his duty.

PARADE OF ELKDOM WILL
PRECEDE MINSTREL SHOW
Elaborate Arrangements for Pro-
cession Have Been Made by Com
mittee and Capt. English.

The parade OF the Elks at IL o'clock this
morning will be the annual day of festivity
for all the Elks of the city. The annual
show this evening promises to surpass any
thing that has yet been attempted, and one
large evening of merriment is promised to
all who have been fortunate enough to pro-
cure seats. The sight of so many we'll
known men taking part In a minstrel show
will be treat in itself
The scene for the first part will be some
thing unique and entirely different from
anything previously presented here. No
notices have been sent out to members and
II is the desire of the minstrel management
that all members of the local lodge assem-
BILE at the clubhouse TO participate in the
parade.
In the parade Captain English will be
back at his old position of leading a gall
liant band. but this time they will not be SOL
diers in the uniform OF their country, but
Elks. with the purple and white OF the lodge.
The platoon of police, which is to be part
of the parade. is not there for bodily pro-
lection, but on account of the fear that
turks in the breast of the managers of the
show that some manager of enc of the nu-
merous shows now in town will endeavor 10
capture some of the talent which will take
part in to-night's performance.
The parade committee, consisting of Will
liam Kotteman. chairman, AL Meyer, o. c.
Yeaman and w. S. Hanson has arranged
the formation and line of march.
Inc sIOrmdUOn, as announced Dy the COm-
mittee, is: Police Superintendent Kruger,
with platoon; Captain w. Z. English, with
thirty or more mounted Elks; Indianapolis
Military Band. eighteen pieces; lodge BAN
ner and American flag borne by porters
from the clubhouse; end men and others
taking part in the entertainment; lodge Of
ficers and members, four abreast; marshals
on foot.
The line of march will be: Form on
Maryland street, east to Delaware, north to
Washington, east to New Jersey, counter
march to Pennsylvania. north on Pennsyl-
vania to Ohio, west on Ohio to Meridian,
south Meridian to Monument. around
Monument to Meridian, south TO Washing
ton, west to Capitol avenue, counter-march
east to Illinois street, south on Illinois to
Union Station, east to Meridian, north on
Meridian to Washington. east on Washing
ton to Pennsylvania, south on Pennsylvania
to Maryland, east on Maryland to clubhouse
and disband. The parade will start prompt
ly at IL O'Clock.
The seat sale for tonight indicates that
the crowd will be one Of the largest that
has ever attended a minstrel show of the
Elks. number of professionals from local
houses will take part in the olio.
BILLY" Link. who played at the Grand
last week. remained in the city to take part

HIRED CHURCH CHO|RS ARE
CONDEMNED BY EVANGELIST
DR.. Gray, in Addressing Large
Audience, Says Singers Should
Be Christians.
HYMNALS FOR NO OTHERS

How can these worldly, artistic quartets
composed of men uncOnverted and unre-
deemed sing the praises of your Redeemer?
God forbid them from singing the praises
of mine
do you think it is right for men whose
souls are tainted with sin and whose
mouths are foul to voice the purest anthems
of the angels?
Men who disregard Christianity are en-
gagged to sing in churches to bring people
TO Christ. Is it not hypocrisy? 1t is not
a defilement to the pulpit?
ITO have one of them use hymnbook is
a shame. for they pollute the sweetest mes
sa ges of God to man"
Such was the opinion of such quartets
given by DR.. j. NJ. Gray TO a large audi
ence at the Second Presbyterian Church
yesterday afternoon. DR.. Gray's topic was
THE Living Hope and It's Objections" a
continuation of what he spoke on Monday
afternoon.

threatened yesterday a result of a case

colored members of the company revolted
fearing too close proximity TO any one con-
nected with a smallpox case. To settle the
difficulty the board put up the tent regu-
larly provided for the watchers.
