Krautna Given By Agents For Present IaaarnaM Hate. the Some of the fire insurince agents say that If property owners In Indianapolis pay a higher rate of fire Insurance than they think they should, they have only themselves to thank for it. These agem say that In no city In the United Stat have the fire limits been juggled with as' In Indlanapolte; that the City Council has, from time to time, allowed certain builders to erect almost "any old thing, and that, starting off as a wooden town, the proper encouragement and direction has not been given to the erection of brick buildingn. fhe ordinance approved July 25, defined a much larger area to be the fire limits than now but a new ordinance passed a year later cut out from the fire limit; several thickly bunt residence districts. One of these districts that.

It is held, should never have been thus favored lies nqrth of Ohio." street, east of East street and extends northward to within 100 feet' of avenue. Sev eral large two and a half story frame residences are now going up In this dis trict. The former lines of the fire llm Its. insurance men say, should be re stored, and as the city grows these lines should be extended rather than be reduced. The present fire limit ries are as follows: Mississippi to Ala bama In the center off Merrill, north to South street; east to i Virginia avenue; along the avenue.

J50 feet from the prop erty line on eacn side, to tJo burn and EH lion 1 east ito Vir ginia avenue. in South street. to Noble north in Noble to the C. St. L.

tracks east 'on the tracks to Pine, north in the center of Pine to Ohio, west In Ohio to East north in the center of East to Massachusetts avenue, north east In Massachusetts avenue, and ijO feet from the property line on each elde to Cornell avenue, west from Massachusetts avenue In Michigan to the canal. south in the center line of the canal to New York, west in the center line of New Tork to Blackford, south In the center of Blackford to Wabash, west in Wabash to Blake. south In Blake to the river. thence south, following the bank of the river to Louisiana, east in the center of Louisiana to West, south in West to South, east In South to Mississippi, south in Mississippi to Merrill, the place of beginning. The ordinance or July zr, issh, pre scribes that tt shall be unlawful for any person to erect.

antt in erecting or cause to be erected within the ttre limits deflned above, any building whatsoever nlcsa the walls thereof are composed of brick, etone, or part Iron or pteel. together with such construct Ion as to be lire proof, and unless the roof thereuo! Is fire proof." It is held that if there is to be any abatement in Insurance rates It will come when there Is 1m meddling by council men with the ordinance governing the erection of buildings. 4 ROYAL HAMMER AND M'CRAT. Talk As To the Alleged Offer 'Bribe. of a There In a current report that Royal Hammer, on behalf of the gamblers and saloon men, was the person who ap proached Judge MeCray and offered to bribe him, and that after a conversation with Hammer, Judge ilcCray laid the case before John S.

Duncan, and asked his advice. Judge MeCray was asked if Royal Ham mer was the man who attempted to bribe him. 'Where did you get that story?" sveked the Judge. "Well, was he the man?" "That is a question for the grand Jury to Investigate," replied Judge MeCray. 'D you discuss Mr.

Hammer's visit to you with John S. Duncan?" 'I refuse to talk. You know my rea sons. I have expressed them betore. I will not talk for publication.

I have noth ing to say." Mr. Duncan declined to the af fairs of the Criminal Court, He Is a member of the Judiciary committee of the Bar Association, wh ich is now investi gating the affairs of the Criminal Court. and did not think It proper that he should say anything. hi Roval Hammer was tol.1 that the story was abroad that ha had proposed a IX). bribe to Judge 'MeCray ir the latter: would put off or get rid of the Douglass" pool room cases, he gave a hearty laugh.

Hammer has been con fined to hla home for nearly three months with a broken ankle. "When was this supposed to have taken place?" he asked. "Some time last summer, you say? Well, that's a new charge to lay at my' door. This is the first time I ever was charged with being the protector of the Douglass pool room. 1 don't understand how 1 could have, been connected with that concern in any way.

I think that pool room was the most nefarious Institution this city has ever harbored. It has wrecked and ruined more men thn all the other games ever played in this city. It wui always notoriously unfair. No. Judge McCmy can not connect me with any attempt to bribe The MeCray Investigation.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21. 1897. THE PASSING SHOW. The Poet Janitor. Recently the Butler College girls wre seen carrying large baskets Into their study hall, and at noon It developed that they were having a That even ing the room presented a most confused appearance.

Papers, boxes and combs were scattered over desks and floor. But the girls, before going home, wrote on the blackboard: notice: "vVi ill the janitor please sweep and dust ihls room? "BV ORDER OF COMMITTEE." The next morning they were delighted to find bow well the obliging Janitor had carried out their orders, and he was at once proclaimed "the nicest janitor they ever knew." and one thoughtful maiden wrote. "Thank you. very much!" un derneath the notice. But, although the janitor was now a great favorite, none dreamed that he possessed poetical genius.

A few mornings later great excitement reigned in the girls' study hall, and much laughing and talking could be heard. The cause of all this gayety was this poeni which the Janitor had written en the blackboard: This room is topsy turvy From morning until nighU The way. that things are "thrfused" Around Is surely "out of sight." Tls here" an old tin bucket And there a can of krout. But the janitor will get you i if you don't i nlnd out. There are overshoes and mittens.

At least a half a score, And. scattered through the I Cloak room there are forty 'leven more. While, hair pins books and 'vapera Are scattered all about, etc. 1 The girls were delighted to. And that the "nice Janitor" was so talented and one could hear each new arrival exclaim: "How lovely! Our Janitor, and he can wrtte poetry, too! Girls, we haven't half appreciated him." And there arose before their "minds the many prosy notices they had written for his benefit, such as: Where's my umbrella?" "Mr.

Janitor: Fkase find my French diction ary," and many other similar ones. But a college girl will never allow herself to be outdone, and one tittle freshman In her etrthuslasra dashed off this rhyme; Such talent does exist, From laughing I can not desist Ha! ha! ha! Hurrah for the janitor. Rah! rah! rah! The next day a senior appeared in tri umph with a poem to the Janitor which she wrote beneath his. It ran like this: Cum gratue mulUa schiolae Ad poetam jar.it oi em Christmas carol. God save you, merry Janitor, May nothing you dismay! Ton see it makes this room, "mussed up" To iiee It every day.

So do not scoQd when you shall see Our jiapprs on the floor; But ermile a cheerful smile and say. I'll clean up once more. "Do not Pull Any Flowers."
