ISIS COMING.

ISIS Hopkins" that charming rural
comedy drama depicting the life of
the simple people of Posey county, in
the Hoozier state, has been booked for
one night at the Keylor Grand begin
ming December IA.
This is the eighth season theater
goers have seer isis Hopkins and
there is no cessation of the interest
show in the stage story of the for
tunes of the quaint country girl who
dresses in Bingham pinafore, PAMELA
CATERS, striped stockings which look
like barber poles, and who wears her
hair done up n tight little pig-tails
bept in place by a couple of littlepink
celluloid side combs of the kind that
were worn Is or 20 years ago. Miss
Rose Melville, who originated the char
acter nearly a decade ago, is playing
the title role again this season and
her consumate art as an actress and
her personal charms n grace in the
~delineation Of the quaint character
Of the p~hilosophic country girl whose
wit is spontaneous and gentle, have
made isis" a classic figure on the
American stage. The play is M Of
the few really clean and wholesome
dramas of recent years., it's simplicity
and sweetness and it's freedom from
artificiality making it one of which the
theater goers never seem to tire. There
is none of the complicated entangle-
ments Of the modern dramatic produc-
ton nor any of the riff-raff of hodge
podge which has marked much of the
tinsel and tawdry presentations where
knock-about comedy is forced to take
the place of literary merit and cleanly
sentiment. isis Hopkins" is a play
wit ha story of rare merit and deepest
heart interest, and it is told in simple
language with all the atmosphere ne
cessary to the production of perfect
pictures of rural life, homely, honest
and gentle.

THE BROWNSVILLE INCIDENT.

The senate has passed both the Pen
rose and Foraker resolutions, one ask
ing the president for information re-
garding the Brownsville incident and
the other calling upon the secretary Of
wal for the same thing. The Browns
vile incident, as newspaper readers
will remember was the summary dis
missal from the service by the presi-
lent of three companies of the Twenty
fifth regiment of the United States
regulars, a regiment of colored troops.
They We're dismissed because it an
peared that some of their number were
engaged in a shooting ARRAY in the
streets of Brownsville, Texas, where
the battalion was stationed.
This incident has aroused a great
deal of interest and not a little racial
feeling throughout the country. The
people of the colored race have quite
generally felt called upon to protest
against III presidents order of dis
missal as unjust and not a square
deal" The rioters were few and vet.
as the colored people complain, the
law-abiding many are obliged to suf-
fer along with their law-breaking COM
rades, says the Minneapolis Jo~uprnal
We are rather glad that these re-
quests have been made by the senate.
While we have learned to repose great
confidence in the presidents judgment
and while the presumption is alto
gether on his side in this case, rnc
incident will not be entirely dismissed
from the public mind until the public

knows whether full justice has been
done to all the members Of this regi-
ment. It is the conviction that there
may be quite a number of the men OF
the Twenty-ffth who know absolutely
nothing about the identity of the SOL
diers who committed the raid ana
shot up" the town Of Brownsville
that withholds full Endorsement Of the
presidents action, although it is un-
| derstood that any who may be able to
show their absolute innocence in the
matter and their utter want of knowl-
edge Of the ARRAY may be restored to
the service by executive order If the
president is so inclined. : The presump-
ton up to date, however, is that con-
siderable numbers Of the battalion
know who the guilty parties were and
have chosen to shield them on the
ground that it Is not honorable or
handsome for soldiers to tell on one
another. The president, however. en-
phasizes above any scruples of that
kind the consideration that the soldier
should have supreme regard for the
maintenance of order and the protec-
ton of life and property committed to
his care. The soldier has taken an oath
Of allegiance. His highest obligation is
to the government and he mas sworn to
render to the government full devotion
on every occasion. The soldiers who
knowingly conceal the crimes Of their
comrades in arms are violating that
oath of allegiance. 1t is regarded as
impossible that the identity of the riot
ers is not known to a considerable
number of the men in the regiment.
There can be no obligation Of honor or
c~omradeship which will justify a SOL
der in shielding a murderous comrade
from the consequences of a lawless
and murderous act. Those who rec
ognize and observe such obligations
certainly have no place in the army
of the United States.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE trial Of

year, unless District Attorney Jerome
consents to rearrange his court cal

THAT LYING LORTON'

In The Statesman Saturday was TINS
little editorial paragraph:
Or. Lapponi, who has been preolct-
ing the pOpe's death In
bulletins for months past, went the way
of the unknown himself and the pope
in grateful recognition Of the errors OF
the famous physician, in making up
demonstrations, has generously Or
dered the funeral expenses to be
charged to the pontifical fund"
DR. C. N. Suttner, a personal friend
Of DR.. Lapponi, took exceptions TO the
paragraph as rejecting upon h fam
GUS physician. The writer OF the para
graph and the doctor are personal
friends-more than that DIR. Suttner
vas and is-and will be-his family
physician.
With the relations existing the doctor
had the privilege of calling up the
writer and expressing his opinion or
what he deemed "a reflection upon
Italy's greatest surgeon. He did SO
and if he had been talking to the
writer there would have been no Sc
rious results. There was nothing of a
religious nature about the objection
made by Doctor Suttner. His protest
was that The Statesman was not doing
Justice to one of the leading members
of the medical profession. 1t was
merely a coincidence that DR.. Lapponi
was physician to the pope.
But that miserable, lying, abortion,
the Evening Bunc" too advantage Of
the mistake in telephone numbers and
attempted to make it appear that DR..
Suttner and the Catholics of the city
were Offended at the questionable hu-
NOR of the paragraph. Not only that
but the "Bunc," in a crazy desire to
injure DR.. Suttner and The States
tried to inaugurate a relig-
ious difference among men who are of
the same church and bring about a
movement designed to injure The
Statesman.
Yesterday, recognizing the harm that
be wrought to DR.. Suttner, The
Statesman refrained from replying to
vile, malicious attack of the pOliti-
sheet and waited until DR.. Suttner
and his attorney had consulted with
the managerial CRATER. Three times
the physician and his attorney made
engagements with Eugene Lorton-and
three times that political parasite dodg-
ed interviews, at last giving out that
was sick and could not meet the
engagements.
Today a statement was prepared by
Suttner disclaiming the respon-
Of the interview and declaring
he was misquoted in the lying state
printed in the Evening Bunc."
A telephone message from F. A. Gar
recht, DR.. Suttner's attorney, this af-
ternoon was to the effect tina the lying
skunk on the grating rag mad refused
to publish the statement.
The statement of DR.. Suttner is given
in the news columns.

GLASFOR0 ANXIOUS TO PASS
~ THE LATEST PAVING
ORDINANCE.

The paving Of West Main street
stirred up a slight odor Of bitulithic,
at the council meeting last night.
Councilman Glasford was anxious to
have the ordinance authorizing the
paving of Main from Ninth street to
Twelfth street and on Twelfth to
Rose n on Rose from Twelfth to
Thirteenth street paved at once, as
it had been agreed two years ago to
pave to the railroad.
Mexican reported that he had been
over it with Glasford and that it was
in fearful condition and a disgrace to
the city. Tausick said that he was OPP
posed to rushing the matter because
he thought paving ought to be let in
larger lots. That where it was all
let in little dabs that it practically
told the company on the ground to go
and do the job.
Kirkman raised the question of paw
ing Fifth street between Main and
Rose and asked why it was not in
cluded and recommended the paving
of COlville street from Main to Rose
and North Second street from the
bridge to Rose.
Councilman Durham said that the
people in his part of the city wanted
Main street paved from the w. & c..
r. depot to Isaac's avenue A mo-
ton requesting the street committee
to bring in recommendations for these
additions vas carried, Tausick alone
voting no.

BATTLE FOR FREE DRESS
German Women Revolt Against Fines
!. for Wearing Trains.

Berlin, Aug, 18.-The women Of the
little town Of Nordhapsen have risen
in revolt against the order Of the muni-
cipal authorities forbidding them for
sanitary reasons to wear dresses with
trains.
All dresses which touch the ground
come within the definition Of Grains,
and the police have received orders
strictly to enforce the new decree. A
fine Of IS is the penalty for the first
offense, los. for the second, and days
Imprisonment for the third.
The women who are resisting the law
have scored one point by obtaining the
opinion Of eminent legal authorities to
the effect that the town council has
partially exceeded it's rights in issuing
this draconie decree. t appears that
women from trailing their dresses
along the ground, but cannot prevent
them from wearing. dresses which would
touch the ground If not carried in the
hand.
The council then replied that women
can wear skirts yards in length it they
like, but they must hold them up. One
inch of skirt trailing on the ground
makes the wearer liable to arrest and
punishment.
A league of resistance has been
formed, and the members have pledged
themselves to wear long skirts and to
defy the authorities. They declare
they will pay the necessary fines, and
even 90 to prison rather than sacrifice
their right Of arraying themselves IN
the most becoming costumes.

the chief: attraction at Wonderland for

tion is still unabated The airship,,
floating around hundreds Of feet high in
the air, obedient to the, rudder, is a
very fetching spectacle. Hamilton's
achievement on his trip downtown early:
last week put all doubts at rest as to-
the entire practicability Of the airship,
for he lowered over the business part
and when he was obliged to descend for
another supply Of gasoline, arose from
a vacant lot at Park avenue and -Four

ship between trees and over telegraph
wires. The flights at the park at night
are especially spectacular, for the air
ship is. followed by a searchlight, which
makes it's movements perfectly visible
at all times.

seen on the platform in the center Of
the grounds twice daily, beginning this
afternoon. Those who are interested in

good one Of it's kind. The Marvellous
Roode, slack wire equilibrist, is also

of an advantage to the city, that such
