VOT XX 30 A (mock THE CENTENNIAL BALK A MO.1lMl.1f OV INCAPACITY AND VrLOAJUtT," 18 A TERUICT. Xb President' Return Horn Enjoyable Trip Ended Fan "tb Train Various Ban qneta la New Torlc Nw YORK, May The World eays: Kow that the Centennial ball is over, people who paid from $10 to $25 apiece to participate ia it and whose fun was represented by the figure are taking oat the balance in The tongues of the ball goers were bliatered with fault finding yesterday. On mil sides it was conceded that the Centennial ball was the biggest executive failure of the century.

Feople who were! most competent to apeak were loudest in declaring the ball a monument, of 'incapacity and vulgarity. The scenes in the supper room can not be described safely in a newspaper. When it is said that the waiters, policemen nd messenger boys drank mont of the free champagne, the situation at midnight may be imagined. Justices of the Supreme Court, Governors, staff officers," club men, poets, millionaires, with beautiful and refined women, 'crowded blankly along the supper; counter and demanded in Tain the auction tyiry were aecumstomed to receive. he functionaries around the place Showed undisguised contempt for the "free lunch fiends." Waiters ho did not have to account for unlimited sine, took occasion to neglect guests and treat themselves.

The excellent supper was largely wasted. There was no responsibility for anything to any body. Iiy 12 :30 a. m. the supper room had been given over to people whose ideas of enjoyment had been learned in free and easy resorts.

Drunken men invaded the ball room, flourishing bubbling bottles of champagne. In the corridors free fights were of constant occurrence. Gamblers, bookmakers and women dozed or made merry on the staircases. Never once did an accredited officer of the evening interfere to anybody's knowledge. The policemen who were sober were lielpless.

Tbey could not tell the dreas coated waiters from the guests, By 1 o'clock tnoxt of the respectable element were making frantic and supperless efforts' to get away. Even this privilege was de Hied them. A line extending, front th coat rooms for yards and made up of: some or tne leading citizens ol this town, surged for hours against the feeble and inadequate partitions of the coat room. Gentlemen grew angry and desperate at the utter inadequacy of the With torn coats and wrinkled shirt fronts, men, whose names are known all over the Union, fought their way toward their com under the frequent clubs of the police, the jeers of the mob outside and the pernicious activity of the pickpockets. It was 5 o'clock in the morning before the last bot tered and razeed guest joined his family at iui uyors euu reaciicu ins nacK.

"In its executive aspects the centennial ball was the worst of its sort ev known in the history of thp' city," mid a well known man about town yesterday. "The possibility of letting the attendants get at all the wine they wanted wus enough to ruin anv plant which might have been mude. I left at 3 a. m. without my hat or coat.

Two of checkers inside the cloak room were 'drunk. I got my own umbrella by paying $1 for one exchanged for it in my sight by the fellow who demanded the dollar. Of the ladies I met, one's dress was ruined by plate of salad thrown over it by a drunken brute, and the shoulder of another was cut from a bottle which a stranger had broken Upon it. I saw more respectable women insulted in the supper room than I ever saw even accosted at the French ball. I knocked down a man, who tried to kiss the (laughter of leading lawyer here." The ticket takers had no check placed upon them and there is no question they made lot money letting in people ho never should huve been there.

The police men lost their temper completely, and cleared people out at the end of their clubs. Hundreds of bottles of wine were passed out of doors and sold by waiters and others. One man was drunk, "fell down nan and i waa so badlv hurt he had fo be curried olf in an ambulance. Many flags and potted 1 plants were stolen and some ol tne boxes were idiockiiiirly soiled after their first oc cupants bad left. The supper room was cleared by clubs shortly after 1 o'clock.

The lights" were turned out in the ball room long before the crowd had left the building. Harrison's Return Home. WASHINGTON, May 2.

Assistant Secretary Hussey established his" popularity imurediately by announcing that he was the only member of the new i administration that hud no door keeper. Private Secretary llali'ord, who was called to respond for the President immediately after said that he.

had a door keeper and needed two. Postmaster General Wana maker said that if he had nqt gone into the dry poods business he was "quite autre he would have been a newspaper man, and he promised Jhe company that the two cent postage stamps would be colored a vivid red if the Washington I correspondents wished it. i At all the larger places on the line of the crowds cheered the train cs it went by.

Invitation to the American Science Aaaoclatlon to Meet Here In MM). The American Association for the Advancement of Science is one of the great associations of the country.

Its annual meetings bring together a large body of representative scientific men of this country and Canada. The atten ance is anywhere from 350 to nearly 1.000, and the sessions last about a week. Naturally, large cities only can properly provide for such a number. There must be good hotels, convenient plaocs for meeting, well equipped printing establishments, and a liberal minded people. These scientists pay their own bills.

Dot. hospitality in the way of sight seeing, receptions, not only is expected, but is very desirable, a it makes a community acquainted with its distinguished visitors in a social way. It is an indication of an enterprising and. wide awake city io entertain this association, and the broadcast information that goes everywhere concerning Its meetings, is an item of advertisement, only second to the possession of a famous base ball club. The I ndian Academ of Sciences had enough pride in their Htate and their capital city to think it a very desirable thing to invito this association to meet in Indianapolis, and so a committee was appointed to give the invita tionT The time of meeting is the last of August, and the next meeting is at Toronto.

At that time this Invitation io come to Indianapolis in 1890 will be extended, with every chance in favor of its being accepted. The matter was canvassed at the last annual meeting enough to indicate this. Before this invitation is given, this committee must have some assurance from the citizens of Indianapolis that such a thing is desirable, and that they will do all in their power to make it a success. A meeting will soon be called in Indianapolis to attend to this very essential thing, aud all who favor the invitation should be ready to come together and pledge their Support.

John M. Coulter, of Wabash College, is the head, will be present no explain all the details. PAKXELX. IS TALKING. Cross Exnmlnatlon Before th Commission To tlay The Invincible.

Tlio Cuinmlnifsi Republican flub Wants a Political Police Eoree. "The Indianapolis Republican Club," which seems to be the nom de plume of a few office seekers and "kickers" against appointments by the administration, had a meeting in the 'Court House basement last night. There are over 10O names on the roil, but only thirty three members attended. Most of those present were either candidates themselves or are working" in the interest of some candidate. A "working" committee of one from each ward was appointed.

But the uppermost thought was voiced when W. H. Pritchtrd introduced a resolution declaring it the sense of the club that the Council should take action at once to assume control of the police force. The Republican part of the Council was then caucusing in Mayor Denny's private office. Several present held that such a movement as the resolution contemplated would be political suicide.

But the candidates and their friends won, and a committee of three was appointed to wrap the "sintimints ob de club'' in red, white aud blue tissue paier and pass them under the door of the Mayor's privute oftice. After a few speeches, looking to the future welfare of the O. O. the "club" adjourned to meet Wednesday evening next. While all this was occurring the Republican members of the Council, except four, were rubbing ears behind locked doors and curtained windows, discussing the measures.

They will have an ordinance ready increasing the saloon tax as soon as the new license law ocs into force.

A slice of March slipped into the weather to day, despite the vigilance of the signal service, which had set its heart on fair skies and balmy breezes. Dark clouds, from which fine cold moisture settled down at intervals during the day, cut off the sun's rays, and a keen wind from the' lakes crept under even winter wraps. The probabilities now are. as well as can ne foreseen, thai, to morrow will be clear and that before the air is warmer it will grow still colder. The damage by the late frosts is not yet regarded as serious, though mighty little of that sort of precipitation will satisfy people.

The mean temperature during April was 52.0 the highest 80 on the 11th of the month, and the lowest on the 6th. Thus the coldest and warmest days. between which the range of temperature was were only five days apart. The depth of rainfall was 2.07 inches, the least for fourteen years.

Secretnry Johivoii Northern Indl anu Trip ttoodj Condition of the Mlchtcran taty Prison and IjOicniistport IIoiltal i Secretary Johnson, of the State Board of Charities, returned this morning from a trip through Northern Indiana. He visited several public institutions, among them trie Michigan City Penitentiary, the Lognnsport Insane Hospital and several county jails and poor asylums.

He expressed hihiself as rncusurr ably well pleased with his observations aX the penitentiary. It was his first visit. "I was taken through the prison by the Warden's son." he said, "and then I was given permission to go through it alone, to do as I pleased and to talk with any of the convicts alone. 1 talked with teif of them, aud I think I had their confidence. They ntade no complaint about the food or their treatment, with the exception of one man, who was not satisfied with the food.

He admitted, however, that it was good enough of the kind, bat there was too much sameucssand in the summer the beef was not as fresh as it nhoutd be. I believe that there ia too much pork fed to tbe convicts. Tbey have an abundauct of food, all fairly well cooked. 1 ate some of it. myself and I found it palatable, but, of coprsc, it is plainly cooked.

The men did not have the appearance of being overworked and underfed. I noticed tlu.t fully oue third of the food placed before them was not eaten. The place seems to be healthful. There are TV) men in the prison, and of this numiWr there were only twelve in the hospital, uotj counting oy, who is in charge. Two of the men are dying of consumption, ami have been in the place for a long while.

"The men are not worked too hard. I went through the prison alone nt 4 o'clock specially for the purpose of seeing how long tbe men would be eiuploytti in finishing their tasks tor tne day. 1 lounJ many were through at 4 o'clock and were sitting about reading newspapers or resting, some were through with their tasks and were working over time. There were few who were not through for the day at clock. The treatment seems to be humane.

In fact. 1 believa they do not puni.sli ahurply enough. F'or instance, a few days ago a convict, without provocation, knocked down a guard and kicked him about the head and ribs. His punishment was a few days in the dungeon, the deprivation of tobacco and candles for a time, and the deduction of abvut two days fiom his good time allowance. That, was no puuishment for him at all.

The prisoners call the dungeon the summer resort, and are quite willing to be put in it fur a tew days in the summer. It is regarded among them as a joke to be sent to it. I am satisfied from the confidential information 1 gathered that the cat 'o nine tails has not been used, in punishing the convicts for three years. "It is a pretty, well managed prison. The system is objectionable, but that is no fault of the Warden's, for he has recommended changes in the matter of classifying prisoners aud the adoption of indeterminate sentences.

Those reforms must, 1 suppose, come through the legislature." In speaking of his visit to the Logansport Insane Hospital, of which Dr. J. O. Rogers is Superintendent. Mr.

Johnson said: can't tell how well pleased 1 was With the institution, very step that 1 took in it was solid satisfaction. In the arrangements of the building and the methods of matiagenient it suemed to me to be well near faut less. 1 don't feel like criticising it. but if there is anything in the method of management thai 1 should like to see changed it would be to place a womun physician in charge of the woman department." I believe that ought to be done, but still it mav be that it is too soon to take such a step. Women generally do not like women for physicians, and not until they have learned by experience that they can be doctored as well or better by physicians of their own sex are they willing to trust iheiusolvcs to the "It mav be that the contrast had something to do with it." continued Mr.

Johrsou, "but! Udiik that the worst of all the baJ places I lgs: ever seen was the Insane department of the Carroll County Poor Asylum. The institution is in bad condition. The women and children are properly separated from the men, but thev are kept in a ricketty little shanty, in which they are locked by the Superintendent lit night. The windows are nailed down, so that there can be no escape from or entrance to the place. The house is heated by an old fashioned stove, very insecurely put up.

The place is almost cert in ut some time to catch lire, aud some of those women and children, if not all, will be burned to death. "The place where the insane are kept is indescribably bad. There are six insane persons kept in what is entitled to no better name than a pen. Two of thein are capable taking care of themselves, and the others are not violent. Three, of the women are kept in a pen.

One of thelit is a repulsive and indecent woman, but one was a woman whose face showed that she was not of the coarsest kind, and she appeared to be rather clean. The Tilth of the loom in hich they were kept, described in the only language that can he decently used, was simply horrible, and the odor arising from it was sickening. They are kept confined in the place constantly, and if they were not insane, their surroundings would certainly make thrm so. They ought to be in the Insane Hospital, but they can not be admitted because there is no room for them. If they should be taken to the Logansport Hospital, I am aimost certain that Dr.

Rogers would sav that they were not hopeless patients. 1 am sure that as much could be done for them as for an old man I met at the Logansport Hospital. He worked about the ho.tpit.il. took a walk every afternoon, and was not looked upon as a dangerous patient, but before he waa admitted to the institution he had been for ten years confined in a pen in a County Asylum as hopelessly insane. He had worn no "clothing and been given less attention than Is shown a horse.

He was bedded in straw, just as a horse would be, and once a week this filth besmeared straw was removed and fresh straw placed in the rodin. When he was takon from the place his hair, matted with filth, hung to his shoulders, and he was in a horrible condition. He is a changed man now. 1 believe, the State ought to go further than in the act of '83, and assume full responsibility for the care of the insane iu the poor asvlums, on some such plan as that in Wisconsin. The Superintendent of the Carroll County Asylum, where I litt.lo expected to find such a condition of affairs, is well meaning man.

and was anxious to have me make suggestions, so that he might do better. He says that the County Commissioners have promised to do something. Tbe Carroll County jail I find in good coudition."
