ADJUSTMENTS.

1t is a well known fact that the
patrons of a melodramatic theatre are
much more difficult to pleaes than
those of the high-class houses. The
one thing they won't stand for is a
"tallSv" show. They demand action,
and the wise caterer to their tastes
will give it to them. Messrs. Vance
and Sullivan have learned in their
many years experience in the field Of
the popular price theatre. just what
the people like best. There is no
profit in trying to make them take
something they don't want. One Of
the seasons most pronounced sue
cesses is the play of the Chicago
streets. Her Fatal Love-" which con-
tains about all the interesting ma
terial a score of wise heads could

never contributed one cent toward her
support and that he refused to work
and looked to her for a living. She

and inhuman manner and that on sew
eral occasions he had pointed a re-
volver at her head and threatened to
kill her. She states that he had the
unpleasant habit of sleeping with a
loaded revolver under his pillow.

RAISED AGE TWO YEARS
ESCAPING R[fORMATORY
Robert SamueIs Preferred
Michigan City.
HAD PLANNED TO ESCAPE

When Robert Samuels, colored,
plead guilty yesterday in the cir
cult court to a charge of embezzle-
ment he gave his age as 80 years, so
that he would be sentenced to the
northern prison at Michigan City in
stead of the reformatory at Jefferson
vile. A few days ago, so Pauper At
torney p. j. Freeman states, SamuelS
gave his age to him as Is years be-
cause he thought that prison life at
Jeffersonville would be more desira-
Bile. but after hearing the experiences
of a man confined at the county jail
who claimed to have done time" at
both Indiana institutions. Samuels de-
cided to raise his age four years so
that he would be sent TO Michigan
City. The veteran '.time-server" had
told Samuels that a man has much
more liberty at the northern prison
than he has at the Jeffersonville re-
formatory The law requires that all
convicted men over thirty years of
age be confined at the Michigan City
prison.
From One to Five Years
Judge Fox sentenced Samuels from
one to five years imprisonment, fined
him $40 and disfranchised him for
two years Sheriff Meredith will take
Samuels to Michigan City Thursday
or Friday.
Samuels was convicted of embez-
cling about $50 from an old and help
less colored woman, Mary Ann Will
liams He was arrested last week.
Had Planned Escape.
Samuels is regarded as a bad man
by the police, and it was learned to-
day that while he was confined at the
city prison he tore down some leading
piping and hid a piece of it with the
evident intention of assaulting Trun-
key Livelsberger in an effort to make
an escape. 1t was promptly discov-
cred what Samuels had done and the
business end of a six-Shooter induced
him to give up his a1eadly weapon.

ARE GIVEN MUCH LIBERTY
Railroads in Indiana Can Run Their
Buffet Cars on Sidetracks and
Sell Liquor.

Indianapolis, March 13-Those who
have been scanning recent legislation
are wondering just now whether it
was with a purely benevolent motive
that measure was introduced and
passed through both Houses of the
General Assembly which permits rail
roads to sell liquor on buffet cars aft
er first having procured a $1,000 Ii
cense.
When this measure was being con-
sidered it was pointed out that 1t
would bring $26, 900 in revenue to the
State. but it is declared now that the
railroads were frightened by the Gan
lard blind tiger law and it was for that
reason that they were so willing to
agree to pay 81 900 license fee.
Another dire possibility has been
discovered in this 900 license bill
which was introduced in the Senate by
Senator Rome Stephenson. railroad
attorney. 1t is declared that the bill,
as drawn, will permit railroads to es-
tablish saloons at any city in the
State
The bill merely provides that rail-
roads selling liquor on buffet cars
shall pay to the State a $1,000 license
fee for each year There is nothing
in the bill, it is cited, to prohibit rail-
roads from running their buffet cars
off on sidetracks at any town and do
ng a land office retail business.

The room is now being overhauled

That the headquarters will be only
temporary is further substantiated by
the statement of one of the directors
yesterday who said that as soon
as the lease held by A. NJ. Jenkins on
his present jewelry store room ex-
pires, which would be about one year,
the Richmond Trust company will oc-
cupy that room.

awake. Finally the officer went back
to the Jail and pointing to one of the
four steel cells, remarked: do you
see that last cell-well it was on the
top bars of that cell that the last man
who hung himself here was found.
Now if you don't quit raising this
