The lower floor, on which every seat was taken, was emptied in the short interval of five minutes, while only ten minutes were required for the people to leisurely make their way from the gallery. WORKMEN FIND BODY OF SMALLPOX VICTIM Employes at Work on Detention Hospital Excavate Corpse Buried Years Ago. The body which was uncovered yesterday by the workmen employed in the erection of the new detention hospital for contagious diseases in the west bottoms of Fall creek was buried last night in a place where there will bo no danger of again uncovering it. The body, it was learned, was that of a smallpox patient who "died at the old pesthouse about eight years ago.

After the body was exhumed yesterday all work on the excavation was stopped until an investigation was made. Former Superintendent of the Pesthouse Coleman said yesterday that during his connection with that institution three unclaimed bodies were burled in the bottoms, but he was unable to state just where.

HOMER DAVENPORT IS HERE TO-NIGHT Homer Davenport, cartoonist, will appear before the Contemporary Club tonight. In speaking of him the January Outing said: Tiie reading public knows the cartoonist as a man whose pen uncovers hypocrisy and puts the knife of ridicule into political bombast; but there is another side quite as interesting.

It is his personal side; his home side; the side his outdoor, sportsman nature finds expression in at Morris Plains, at his little ranch, among his horses, his cattle, his sheep, his pheasants, his water fowl. At Morris Plains Farmer Davenport expresses himself. There he has combined the beautiful with the practical, and made the little valley farm of forty acres, on the Orange hills, the home or rare birds and thoroughbred stock. Davenport is blunt, to the point, and what he wants in life he goes after. When he was a boy out in Oregon on his father's farm he to draw, and draw he did.

He used to lie on his stomach all day, and make sketches of animals on the farm floor. His father, perceiving his talent, erected a blackboard four feet high by fifteen feet long, covering the side of a room in the farmhouse, and supplying him with plenty of chalk, let him "go it" to his heart's content. The first opportunity came when, his father having secured him a position on the Portland Oregonian, he left the farm at Sllverton. "When I left that time." said Davenport. "I was escorted to the station by a brass band.

'He's too big for this the neighbors said, so I went away in a cloud of glory. Well. I was on the Oregonian Just one day it took them only twentv-four hours to find out and tell me that" I couldn draw."

ELECT OFFICERS TO-DAY hen the twenty-fourth annual convention of the Indiana Engineering Society convened yesterday morning engineers from all over the State were present. The meetings are held iu the assembly rooms of the Commercial Club and the rooms were crowded yesterday afternoon and last night. The principal business of the meeting to be held this morning will be the annual election of officers and the selection of a place to hold the convention next year. It is probable that Indianapolis will be selected. Members of the society said last night that it is probable the old officers of the society will be re-elected this morning.

The present officers are: President, R. L. Sack-ett. Richmond; vice president, R. P.

Woods, Indianapolis; secretary, Charles C. Brown, Indianapolis. Papers of great interest to the members of the society were read at the meetings yesterday afternoon and last night. Several were Illustrated with stereopticon views. A meeting of the board of trustees of the society was held yesterday morning prior to the calling of the convention, to discuss the advisibllity of taking the recently organized Indianapolis association of engineers and architects into the society.

Action in the matter was not taken. It was decided by the directors that it would not be advisable for the society to join the National Association of Engineers. Following the election of officers this morning a paper on Steam Heating from a Central Station" will be read by Fred B. Hofft, of this city. What is believed to be one of the most interesting and instructive papers will be read by Prof.

W. F. M. Goss. of Purdue University, on "Plans of Testing Locomotives at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition." The convention will adjourn Saturday.

PAYMENTS FOR LAND HELD BY FARMERS Capt. Cheatham Will To-Day Receive Instructions from Washington and Will Proceed. Captain Cheatham, who has charge of the work looking to the location of the army post, will receive instructions to-day from Washington authorizing him to make the payments for the land held by the farmers living on the army post site. The government will pay the sums as specified in the contracts drawn up by Dyer Rassmann last year. Several days will probably be needed in which to close the deals for the land.

When Captain Cheatham is prepared to make the payments he will notify the land holders to call upon him at some specified office, where the settlements will be transacted. In the case of John Roberts, who raised on his price after the contract had been drawn up, the government will pay the sum originally specified. It has not yet been decided by what means the additional sum shall be raised. If the effort to secure the surplus by subscription fails, condemnation proceedings will be brought against Roberts. SPEED SAVED IT.

Illinois Central Train Missed Derailing by Train Wreckers. ST. LOUIS. Jan. 14.

Its great speed has saved the Chicago-bound "Diamond Spe-ciar on the Illinois' Central from a wreck near Glencarbon, 111., and foiled the attempts of train wreckers. Three cars of the freight train which followed the fast train were derailed and piled upon each other. The train wreckers had failed to open the switch lock, but pried open the points of the switch with blacksmith's tongs. The speed of the fast train carried it over the open switch. The engine and one car of the freight train also passed over safely.

Tariffs and the Consumer. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: An afternoon paper In this city makes the following statement: "In every tariff scheme the consumer must pay the tax." This has been the contention of our free-trade friends from the very beginning. President Cleveland had hardly taken his flrst lesson in political economy from John G. Carlisle before he declared that "the precise amount of the duty is added to the price of the article, and the consumer always pays it." Now this statement, which appeared in Mr. Cleveland's celebrated message in 1887, was not true at that time, is not true now and never was true.

It has been proven false, by actual experience, ever since tariff laws were enacted. But even experience will not settle the matter with a tariff reformer. In spite of experience and in spite of logic he continues to shout, "The tariff Is a tax and the consumer pays it." A parrot can do as much. Now. I assert that the "precise duty" is never paid by the consumer, except on articles that are not produced in this country.

And, strange to say, thoso are the very articles that our tariff reformers would "tax." So it comes "to pass that Democratic organs clamor for a tariff on coffee and tea and like articles that can be had in foreign countries only. The Republican policy is to admit such products free of duty, and make the levy on those articles the like of which are freely produced in this country, and with which we corns in active competition with foreign manufacturers. The reason is so obvious that even a ought to be able to see it. And right here is where the Republican policy of protection comes in. The idea is to levy all duties on articles with which we compete and by that means protect our own producers.

The Democratic theory is exactly the reverse. The politicians in that party as well as its organs, declare, with one accord, that "protection is robbery." and of course you cannot expect a Democrat to become a robber! Heaven forbid! What he wants to do is to reduce the tariff on articles with which we come In competition and add to it on tea and coffee and pepper and spices and like articles that we cannot raise in this country. This method may be sufficient to satisfy a Democratic "conscience." but if so I think it should be stimulated and enlightened by Mr. Bryan, who is Just now paying particular att. n-tion to the "conscience" business.

What then do our Democratic friends want' Why. they say they want "a tariff sufficient to meet the expense of the government, economically administered." William McKinley did not want any more' The income from the tariff at this time Is Just about the amount required to meet the necessary expenses. Why. then, do our tariff reformers desire a change? If any candid Democrat will investigate that question he will know more about the tariff question than he ever dreamed of before Allow me t- assist In the We will assume that the present levy is 50 per cent. it may be a little more or less and that it products the required amount of revenue.

Now. how can our reformers get the necessary income if they reduce the levy to 26 per Simply by doubling the amount of importations and in no other way. Consider what the effect of this policy would be. The Increase of importation would necessarily be from goo-is made by foreign workmen ami ev ry dollar paid to those Knuiish. French und German workingmen is just so much taken away from our own mechanics.

The output from our factories would be and wages now paid for the making of the goods would be entirely cut off. Be not deceived "You cannot eat your cake and have it You cannot buy your goods in England and pay our own workmen for their making. The final results of this Democratic policy would be that tens of thousands of American workingmen would be thrown out of employment jnd "whittling" on dry goods boxes would become one of our chief industries.

NO SEXTEN'CE RECORDED On the ground that Justice of the Peace Harry Sheets, of Irvington, signed the commitment before he entered his judgment in the case of George Gall, his attorneys late yesterday afternoon filed habeas corpus proceedings against Sheriff Metzger to have Gall released from custody. The case of Gall's was the first experience of Sheets as a justice. The attorneys of Gall base their grounds for the action on the ruling made by Judge Daly when he was police judge. He released many prisoners from the workhouse because it was shown that the clerk signed the name of the judge with a rubber stamp, and it was held by the courtthat there had been no judgment of record. Gall was arrested on a warrant sworn out by Joe Slmco.

Gall interfered when Simco was beating his wife and the Italian had him arrested. Professor Brooks at Art Institute. Prof. Alfred M. Brooks, of Indiana University, will deliver the fifth lecture of his course of lectures on engraving at the John Herron Art Institute to-night.

His subject will be "Mezzotint Engraving and Portraiture." The last lecture of the course will be delivered on the evening of Jan. 22. Professor Brooks will take for his subject on that night "English Engraving in the XVIII and XIX Centuries." BOARD Of EDUCATION MEETS ATSTATEHOUSE Majority of the Board Said to Be Against Printing of Books at Reformatory. Seventeen bids were received yesterday by the State Board of Education on the contract for the printing of primary text-books for the schools throughout the State. The board convened at 10 o'clock and was in session the greater part of the day.

During the morning the committee on commissioned high schools made a rather routine report on the condition of these schools. The afternoon meeting was opened by receiving bids on the text-book printing. There was some discussion among the members of the board on the question of having the books printed by the Indiana Reformatory at Jeffersouvllle. Superintendent Whittaker was present at the meeting and presented the matter to the consideration of the board. It is not probable that the contract now open to bids will be given the inmates of the Reformatory, but if the members of the board favor the proposition, later contracts may be given it.

The majority of the members of the board, it is understood, were against the plan yesterday, but no action was taken. The contract for the text-books will be open to bids until the next meeting of the board, which will be held on Feb. 3, at which time the contract will be let to the firm offeriug the best inducements. GETS LOST IN SNOW. Hospital Victim Becomes Delirious and Gives Police Chase.

Edward Melville, delirious from the effects of erysipelas, escaped from the hospital annex for contagious diseases early yesterday morning and in his underclothes, without shoes or stockings, he ran down the street tnrough the snow. The police were notified and Blcyclemen Askins and Duncan were sent out to catch the man. After a chase they ran him into a grocery at Tenth and Camp streets and succeeded in holding him until the arrival of the ambulance, when he was taken back to the hospital. When the police caught him he was a raving maniac and believed that an attempt was being made to tear down the hospital. 1 1 hi NO LAW AGAINST A "SPITE FENCE" According to a decision handed down in the Appellate Court yesterday, a fence erected in such a manner as to darken the windows of a neighbor's house does not constitute a public nuisance as long as the fence is on the builder's property and does not interfere with neighboring property, any more than would a building erected on the same site.

The case Involving the decision grew out of the erection of a high fence built for spite work on a vacant lot in Dugdale street, of this city. The fence was built so high opposite the windows of the house on the adjoining lot that it cut off the light during the day. M. T. II.

CONFERENCE IS CALLED Woodworkers place belief in the report that the employers of all the wood-working factories and mills iu the city are to change their system of employment beginning next week from day to piece work, thereby cutting down the wages of employes, increasing the hours of work and practically maintaining open shops.

The local woodworkers have been holding many meetings this week, discussing the reported move. At a meeting held several nights ago they voted unanimously on a strike at the Indianapolis Chair and Furniture Company, where the change from day to piece work has already becu Instituted. It is understood that all other transitions 011 the part of other woodworking employers will be opposed by the same action. Should the operators carry out the rumored plans, it is likely that there will be a general strike of the woodworkers of this city. Such a strike would involve several hundred woodworkers and a number of the woodcarvers.

A conference will be held today by the operators and the employes of Smith, Day but the purpose of the conference is not known, as it is said to have been called by the employers. Men of the woodworking craft claim that a change from day to piece work will injure them greatly and will mean a reduction in their wages of more than 25 per cent, and an increase in their hours of labor.

A case of deplorable destitution was discovered yesterday by the police in the home of George Harold, a cripple who lives in an abandoned box car on Nell street, west of the Belt railroad. When the police entered the hovel they found the crippled occupant with his wife weeping over the cold form of their baby who had died the night before, while the old box car. full of cracks and holes, was so cold that existence there s. emed almost impossible. Harold, whose wife is an invalid, has been making a living for a long time by the sale of coal that he would pick up along the railroad tracks.

The child became sick several weeks ago and the miserable parents nursed it as best they could, but were unable to save its life. They were unable to secure an undertaker to care for the remains of the baby and as they were ignorant of the existence of a county undertaker, had done nothing towards arranging for the burial of their infant. The police reported the case to the township trustee and to the Salvation Army and the family were sent food and coal and arrangements were made for the burial of the baby. SUIT FOR $2.50 BREAKS RECORD FOR CITY A suit for a half interest in $2.50 was filed in Justice Smock's court yesterday morning by William Nelson, an attorney, who claimed that he aided Isaac Wiseman, another lawyer, to secure a settlement in a case in which the attorney's fee was $2.50. For this service he says he should have received one-half of the fee.

but Wiseman, after securing the fee. refused to pay Ison for his work. The suit, because of the small amount of money involved, is one of the most remarkable in the history of the justice courts in Indianapolis.

ON ALL IN IRVINGTON Correspond Exactly with North and South Streets in the City Proves Hard Task. SYSTEM A GOOD ONE The work of completing the numbering of all houses iu Tuxedo and Irvington. the most important of its kind that the city engineer's office has attempted since the renumbering of the entire city in 18y7, has Just been completed. In Irvington. especially, the task was found a difficult one In several particulars, and the result of the work of the engineer's department, now that it is completed, is worthy of comment.

The work of making the numbers on north-and-south streets In the city's easternmost suburb correspond with those on parallel streets In the city was found especially difficult because of the fact that Washington street, following the old National road, makes a very decided slant to the north. This brings New York street, which in the city is three squares north of Washington, within a distance equal to about one square from Washington, and English avenue, on the south, a correspondingly great distance from Washington. In spite of this fact, to avoid a confusion of numbering the north and south numbers were made to correspond to those in the city. At New York street the "300" numbers begin, and at Michigan, just a short distance north, the "500" numbers bogin. To the south the "500" numbers begin at KiiRllsh avenue, although, on Arlington avenue, this is nearly three times as great a distance from Washington street as is Michigan.

Practically no changes were made in the east and west numbers. One enterprising young man, representing a tirm that deals in house numbers, followed close upon the heels of the inspectors from the engineer's department, and iu many cases sold his waree to householders, putting up the numbers immediately. The inspectors, coming back the same day, in several cases found numbers on houses they had visited but a few hours before. INSTRUCTIVE LECTURE COURSE FOR BATTERY A Captain Heiskell Arranges for Instruction of Soldiers Gars-tang to Speak Next. Captain Walter W.

Heiskell, of Battery Indiana National Guard, has arranged a series of interesting lectures to be delivered at the armory. Sixteenth street and Senate avenue, for the benefit of the members. At the regular weekly meeting of the battery last Monday night Colonel Harry B. Smith spoke on "Military Courtesy." Capt. R.

W. Garstang, surgeon of the artillery batalllon of the State troops, will speak one week from next Monday on "Sanitary Conditions iu Camp." Dr. Gars-tang has made a thorough study of this subject and his address should pjove most interesting. From time to time during the winter months, and until in the spring. Captain Heiskell has arranged with officers of the guard to address the battery.

The members are becoming interested in the programme and the attendance is rapidly Increasing. PURDUE VICTIM A CHEERFUL PATIENT One of the most cheerful patients at the Deaconess Hospital Is Walter McMannus, of Davenport, one of the victims of the Purdue football special wreck on the Big Four last October. Both his legs were broken and ho was otherwise Injured, but throughout his trouble he has maintained a good cheer that has won the hearts of all the attendants at the hospital. He is now able to sit up all day In a wheel chair, and in three weeks will leave Indianapolis for his home. He said yesterday that he did not know whether or not he would ever return to Purdue to complete his course, but as he is a senior it is likely that next year he will again take up his studies and graduate.

The Journal's Color Supplement for Next Sunday. THE REPRESENTATIVE WOMAN'S POINT OF VIEW. Mrs. William Tod Helmuth has been interviewed for the feature displayed on the first page of next Sunday's magazine supplement. Mrs.

Helmuth Is one of the most prominent club women in the United States to-day, and she Is equally prominent in the general woman's movement. She has often been looked upon as one of those who believed that the day of man as a leader is past on this continent, but her views, as rejwrted by Frances Carruth, are exactly the reverse. She appears as the champion of "Mere Man." She holds that while women are advancing, they have not yet reached the level of their fathers, brothers and husbands, and she says a good deal besides that will call forth criticism on the part of the more radical of the advauced women, and will also call forth approval on the part of others. This feature is pretty certain to raise some discussion. The picture of Mrs.

Helmuth is made from one of her best photographs, showing her arrayed In all her club medals, and is printed in four colors. The page, as a whole, is very attractive. SAM LOYD'S PRIZE PUZZLES. Mr. Loyd's puzzles for next week are: "Baby's Patch Quilt Puzzle" and "An Egg Problem." Both are sure to interest the children.

There is also a set of funny pictures entitled "The Peter Pickles and Almond People." which is accompanied by a story, the full title of which is, "A Tale of Almonds, Pickles and Pears A Matter of Toothpicks, Fruits and Nuts." Though the titles are not many on the page, it is one that the children will all like. THE READ LIFE OF THE SWISS PEOPLE. The leading features on Page 3 is captioned as above. There are four pictures from photographs: "Scaling an Alpine Peak," "A Swiss Peasant Girl." "A Swiss Drayman and His Team." and "A Hercules of the Mountains." The material for the article was furnished by the Rev. Dr.

Charles H. Parkhurst, who has spent his vacations for several years In the little mountain republic, and knows the people much better than most travelers. COMMON-SENSE TALKS TO EVERYDAY FOLK. The Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady has been added to the list of contributors for the McClure Magazine Supplement, and the first installment of his work is presented in this number on Page 5.

The subject of his little sermon is: "To One Going on a Journey." It contains a lot of common sense. It is accompanied by a picture of Dr. Brady. IMPORTANT ACCESSORIES OF A WOMAN WARDROBE. Miss Adelaide Louise Samson, in her fashion article, writes on this subject, which is very important to the woman who would be well dressed.

She says that accessories are really essentials which make all the difference between a smart and a dowdy frock. There are rive beautiful pictures: "The Fifth-avenue Stock and Bow," "Russian Sable and Russian Lace." "A Sable Turban with Veil Drapery." and "A Coiffure Ornament of Velvet and Corals." A LITTLE NONSENSE FOR THE WISE. Carolyn Wells, the clever satirical essayist and verse writer, begins a series of clever under this caption. The title is, "The World Literary." The article is a very clever one. Most of our readers are made up of nonliterary people, and this little skit will give them a glance beyond the scenes.
