The d!rcctors of the local bowling leagues will hold a meeting this aftcrnon at the Independent Turner alleys to discus the question of bringing the all-star bowling club to this city. This team Is selected from the best players In the country and tours the larger cities every year. It Js Eaid to be even stronger than the Greater New Yorks, and the Indianapolis bowlers are anxlor.s to have an opportunity of bowling with them and seeing them bowL W. IL Thompson, manager of the all-star team, was In the city last week discussing the question of bringing his team here, and It la believed that dates will be arranged. The Tenpln League directors favor the Idea, hut a great deal will depend upon the decision of the Indianapolis Bowling League directors. After resting for the holidays all of the bowling leagues resumed play last week, but nothing remarkable was accomplished. Tho men bowled as if they had enjoyed the holidays too much. They practiced most of the time, it is true, but there was Tack of spirit that was not evident before the rest and will not be In evidence again during the season. It is believed. The most excit ing games during the entire week were be tween the Marions and Lyras on the Ma rion alleys last Thursday night. The Ma rions took the first two games, and then, with the Lyras far in the lead, displayed their ability as finishers, winning out In the tenth frame by remarkable bowling. i- i THE TENPIN LEAGUE.

There was a wonderful "falling down" In the scores made especially by he gentle men members of the Utopia Club In their three games on the Independent Turner al leys last Wednesday evening, their aver age being but 123, while the lady members a little more than maintained their average. It being 101. The total scores were 2,790 to 2.5S6, four ladles' and four gentlemen on each side. The leading scores were as follows: Mr. Heller, 474; Dr. Teague, 430; Mrs. J. A. Robinson, 433; Mrs. Heller, 377; Mrs. A. B. Robinson, 376; Mrs. Buddenbaum, 312. With the Bowlers. Lloyd, of the U. S. Club, made the 6-7-10 spare Friday night on the Washington alleys. Coutts and Caird, of the Lenox Club, bowled their lowest scores on last Wednes day evening. In the games in the Tenpln League last week B. O'Connor made the 5-6-10 split, Gielow the 5-7-9 and Kleine the 6-7-10. Merrick, of the City team, now has pos session of the first chance for the booby prize, as he scored seventy-four last week. Brown, of the Oneida team, started off with six strikes Friday night but in the last three frames he broke and only made a total of 212. Byers, of the Prospects, after dieting on Wienerwurst for a short time, has been making the best bowlers of his club hustle for high honors. The Deweys, on the Turner alleys, broke the spare record for one game In the In dependent League last week by making fifty-three spares. During the week at the Marlon alleys ihere were forty 200 scores made. Every bowler tried for a 200 score, as there was a cigar "In It" for him. Ray Knox, mascot for the Blue Labels, becomes disgusted when his father misses a spare and generally cries out, "Oh, rats," or some other endearing term. Mike Fehrenbach, of tho Calumets, bowls a dead center ball while the rest of his team mates roll a side ball so as to pre vent making a split, but Fehrenbach leads his team in the averages. Four 200 scores were made Wednesday night in the Tenpln League. Schlake and Jay, of the Blue Labels, made 203 and 200, respectively, and Kleis and Fehrenbach, of the Columbias, made 123 and 214, re spectively.

B. Robinson, 415; Mrs. Heller, 373; Mrs. Buddenbaum, 372; Mrs. Finney, 322. The Blue Labels will be without the service of two of their best bowlers for awhile. Schlake, who leads the league, has accepted a position to travel for a well known queensware house and will bowl no more this season. Jay, who stands next to Schlake, is out of the city and will not return for some time. CITY NEWS NOTES. Century Club, Tuesday: Paper, "Ham let," Mr. Frank A. Preston. R. D.

He Is Here on a Brief Visit 'to Riley and Tarkington A Female Drum mer Corridor Gossip "If It comes from Indiana It's all right," said Edward W. Bok, the editor of the Ladles' Home Journal, who arrived at the Bates yesterday afternoon. "The eyes of every publisher In the East are on the au thors of Indiana and there is & constant and increasing demand for their work. Why Is thl3 so? Well, chiefly because they live close to their soil and there Is a dis tinctive and truly American type in this State. What the publishers want are stories that bring readers closer to human ity. The stories which are sought after now are those which convey a message to the public. Indiana authors have the faculty of getting close to nature and hu manity and their messages are in demand. "It is not true that publishers cater to a clique of well-known authors, or, If that was ever true, the day is past, 'me best proof of this is that Booth Tarkington walked into Philadelphia without influence of any kind. He had a story true to nature and it was accepted. Mr. Westcott, the au thor of "David Harum," was without influ ence, but he had a story of human interest and he found a demand for it. If it were true that there was a sentiment In favor of prominent authors, It would not be neces sary for me to maintain a manuscript de partment in my paper at a cost of thou sands of dollars each year. Last year 12,000 manuscripts were examined in this depart ment, and of this number only 1 per cent, were acccepted. But this was worth the expenditure, for it brought out new au thors and new ideas. "you have some wonderful talent right here in Indiana, and you need not look for pearls in the East. You have Riley, Tark ington, Major, George Ade, Foulke, Arm strong and hosts of others. There Is not a prominent publisher In the East who Is not watching Indiana more than any other State, simply because it is full of promise and because of the distinctive type of the work turned out. "I am here on a purely pleasure trip to see Mr. Riley and Mr. Tarkington in their homes. -I come to Indianapolis and Detroit for pleasure because they are my favorite cities. It is a relief to a man engaged in the grind of money-making to get close to such students of human nature as Kiley. I went out to his home to-day to see him on business, but he talked to me about types in Indiana and told such quaint, interest ing stories of his studies of the people of his State that I came away without speak ing a word of business. .1 was so wrapped up in what I heard nira say that I felt ashamed to discuss business with the man. "Mr. Frank Doubleday is with me. He withdrew from the firm of Doubleday & McClue on Jan. 1 and has associated him self with Walter A. Page, formerly editor of the Forum and the Atlantic Monthly. They will publish books in New "Sork. I am not arranging for any new stories by either Mr. Tarkington or Mr. Riley, for I do not think they are at work on any." ALLEN W. CLARK IN TOWN. He Still Pins Ilia Faith to Bryan anil Free Silver. Allen W. Clark, of the Democratic na tional committee, was at the Grand last night while on his way to Chicago, where he is now located. In discussing the out look for the Democratic party he" said: "There is no doubt about the nomination of William J. Bryan for the presidency, for silver is a stronger issue now than it has been at any time since the last presi dential election. This condition Is due to the Boer war and the various complica tions we are in ourselves, for these things have made It apparent to everyone that the gold basis is too small a one on which to transact the business of ihe country. The great expansion of trade has brought on a scramblo all over the world for gold and the result will be a panic. Then again public attention is attracted to the free silver issue by the attempt, which I feel will be successful, of Congress to fasten the gold standard on the country abso lutely and permanently. It has set the people to thinking, for It was only during tne last session or congress that even the Republican leaders were afraid to take up such a matter. "The nomination of Mr. Bryan undoubted ly means the adoption of the Chicago plat form, with the addition of planks against tiusts and expansion. The party will take a decided stand against trusts by declaring In favor of laws to prevent discrimination In trade of every description and against watered stocks and bonds in all corpora tions. Mr. Bryan has prepared the matter, the substance of of which will deflne his position with relation to the industrial wellfare of the country and Its foreign pol icy. "There is no doubt about the re-election of Senator Jones as chairman of the com mittee. Chairman Cook, of the ways and means committee, has resigned to go to Missouri to begin his campaign for the secretarysnip or state. "I do not think Chicago will get the na tional convention, as there does not seem to be any concerted effort to that end. Milwaukee and Kansas City are both after it hot, but It looks as though Milwaukee were putting in the best licks. Mayor Rose, of that city, is a great convention boomer and has put his own personality into the effort to get the convention and I think it will go there." NEWLY-MARRIED TRAVELERS Take Up Their Residence at the Den lson for Arrhlle. Two newly-married traveling men and their brides located in Indianapolis yester day by engaging apartments at the Den! son for the winter. They are W. R. Jordan a salesman for Marshall Field & Co., of Chicago, and E. E. Williams, a salesman for a Boston mill supply house. Both were married within the last few days, and In Mr. Williams's case his bride Joined him here last night. It would have been useless for Mr. Wll Hams to have sought to conceal the new ness of his condition, for when he went to the desk to register he was handed 1 bill of ladlnc. indicating that thw hsr, reis of wedding presents from Bnstnn awaited him at the freight depot. His mail was also voluminous and of the congratu latorv sort. There is an Interesting story connected with Mr. Jordan. He started to work for his present employers several years ago without money or influence, but, during his early connection wun me nrm, he formed the acquaintance of a youncr man whn wn a confirmed invalid arid during his spare time devoted himself to his friend. TT 1M not at that time know the young man was wealthy, and at his death was surprised to learn that he had been made his heir to the extent of 525.000. He kent both hu money and his position and both have grown materially since men. Can't Get Girls to Work. One phase of the local industrial -situa tion was outlined by Charles A. Book- waiter during a corridor conversation last night. Said he: "Our garment factory Is running fourteen hours a day with the help we can get. We could employ many more girls, but we cannot get them under any circumstances." You mean that experienced girls are hard to get! Mr. Bookwalter was asked. "No." he replied: "I mean that girls of any kind are hard to get. We can take any girl and make her experienced in two weeks so she can earn from $5 to IS a week. but we can't get any kind of girls. It Indi cates that their fathers and brothers are all worklnr, for when all the mala mem bers of a tzs'Jpi exo TrcrLlz ta T7cr:ta will not work, whereas when the men can not get woric tne women nnd it necessary and convenient to work." A Real Female Drummer. Those who saw Johnstone Bennett In the "Female Drummer" could have seen her reproduction in real life at the Bates last night In the person of Miss E. E. Pettl- bone, of New York. Miss Pettibone Is a real drummer, who travels in style for a New York corset firm. Sho is somewhat past the first flush of youth, and has an impressive air of business about her. She wears a long ulster and a broad-brimmed felt hat without the feathers and frills usually found on women's hats. She also carries a very mannish grip and an air of contempt for the Interest she excites. In brief, she 13 dignified without being swag ger and business-like In her manner with out any apparent effort. - , HENRY TAYLORS ARREST. A Colored Girl Charges Ulm -with Stealing Articles. A report was made to police headquarters last night that a man had been fatally stabbed at 425 West W abash street.- Bicy cle Police Lancaster and Streit found a colored man, Henry Taylor, who had been slightly cut on the arm by a colored wom an who resented his interference with her baking of griddle cakes and struck at him with a knife. Taylor was arrested and charged with drunkenness. A colored girl who reported the cutting said Taylor was a thief and went" with the officers to Brlghtwood, where a watch, a revolver, a pair of cuff butons and a pair of earrings were found m possession or ta waxson. The articles were taken and Watson was arrested for receiving stolen goods. The girl said she knew where other plunder had been stored. The things recovered are thought to have been taken from a house on West New York street opposite Military Park. - . Health in Indiana In December.

C. A.V. announces as a result of his trip to Chicago to confer with Field Secretary Ober that the position of secre tary of the local Y. M. C. A. will be ten dered to the secretary of the Trenton (N. J.) association. That gentleman will arrive in this city to-morrow and look over the field Wednesday and Thursday, and, if found satisfactory, he will in all probabil ity accept the proffered position. Woman Drerr, a Revolver. William Quirk, colored, and Mrs. Millie Goodnite, his sister-in-law, fought yester day over Quirk's child, which has been cared for by the woman. Quirk knocked her down, and after their screams had brought a hundred or more neighbors to the scene she drew a revolver, and had the bicycle police not appeared then, would probably have shot Quirk. Both were ar rested. Saloon Keepers - Arrested.

Fredericks, who has figured con spicuously In the divorce courts of this county, was before Judge Leathers, of tho Superior Court, yesterday on the charge of falling to carry out an order of the court. Fredericks has been divorced three differ ent times. The third time he was In court on divorce business, but his two former wives were there to testify in the case. On this occasion he was granted a divorce, but his wife was given the custody of their child, and Fredericks was ordered to pay for its support. The case was tried by Smiley N. Chamber as special judge, Mrs. Fredericks taking a change of venue from Judge Leathers. It seems that Fredericks has failed to pay the' last quarterly Installment for the sup port of his child, and he was brought into court yesterday to show cause why he should not be punished for contempt. His attorney, Horace E. Smith, raised the Question of the court's jurisdiction. He held that as Judge Leathers had not tried the divorce case he could not legally in quire into Fredericks's conduct now. Judge Leathers decided that the point was well taken, and Fredericks was discharged. GETS TO MAKES HIS SPECCn. Georfte W. Spahr Is Allowed br Jadge Carter to Blake an Argument. George W.

The Defeat of the Xarragranaetta, Judge Howe's "Puritan Republic" It was determined to attack the Narra gansetts in their stronghold, where their chief. Canonchet, had gathered together some 2,000 armed warriors in a strong fort situated In a swamp. The fort was sur rounded by .palisades, and the only appar ent access to it was over a log then slip pery with snow. In the dead of winter the expedition set out under the command of Governor TVinslow, of Plymouth. It num bered a little less than 1,000 men made up of troops from Massachusetts, Plymouth and Connecticut. Marching through the snow the little army reached -the fort on Sunday, the 19th of December, and Imme diately stormed the Indian stronghold. Six of the captains were shot In the begin ning of the assault, but the colonial troops pressed forward, and climbed upon each other's shoulders In order to scale the pali sades. Once they gained an entrance and were repulsed. Again they rushed forward and reached the Inside of the works at the same time that some of their comrades had effected an entrance through a weak spot In the rear.

Rumoxs reach one's ears that the power of quarreling within certain church choirs can only be exceeded by the high spirit of a body of Irish patriots, and that there 13 almost nothing so trivial and invisible but that it will set a choir by the ears. It may be the place In the stall, or the singing of a particular part, or a correction of the chorister, or a remark dropped by one of the choir so tender are the feelings of a chorister anything, or for that matter, nothing, will hurt. Ho will sulk, or make unpleasant remarks, or resign, or drive some other persons out, and then on some great occasion all the members of the choir will resign and take themselves o seriously that the event will be considered equal in interest to a war. Upon the whole, the choir rather enjoys a crisis of this kind, for It gives stimulus to the artistic temper ament. But there are some who do not en ter wholly Into the enjoyment.
