The people of Indianapolis fat about 2r gallons of ire cnam every year, which certainly shows that th y an- pre.it lovers of thU delicious dish. Probably in no city In the United States in ice cream mure pop ular than here, and the reason, r.o doubt, lor this is the pientif ulness of it, for the creameries cf this city turn out gallons every y. ar. This immense quantity of frozen product makes the it n cream busi ness one of the largest in the city arid puts Indianapolis among the foremost cities in the country as an ice cream producer. The output heie is almost as great as that of Chicago, which is also known as a cream ery center. Enough hre cream is produced here annually to give every inhabitant in the City two and one-half gellot.s as his chare. All of tho creameries here are of the most Improved type, and during the busy season each of the larger ones Is capable of turning out I.OjO gallons a day. "While the smalk-r cnes generally average about half of this amount. In this industry the busy season is now on and every creamery is now running at full capacity, for the cool weather does not seem to in jure the trade as might be expected. Dur ing the months of June and July last year over 10.000 gallons were sold, and now the indications are that this year the sales will exceed this. It stems that August would t!so be Included in the months as a part of the summer trade, but it is not, for ho trade generally begins to fall off about this time. Last year there were over C-O gal lons more sold in July than in August, and this has been the rate at which it has run for a number of years. The reason that the making of Ice cream has grown to such great proportions in this city, and lays so far over the business in inuch larger cities, is because of the ample railroad facilities. The roads from here lead in all directions, and most any point can be reached in a comparatively short time. Of all of the ice cream that is pro duced here about one-half of it is shipped to other points for consumption. By the means of being able to ship such great dis tances in a short time the creameries here can easily compete with those of St. Louis end Chicago, and they send large quantities of cream to within lifty or sixty miles of those cities. Large shipments are alio sent to various places in Ohio. In Illinois the Held 1b almost as good for the sale of local ice cream as is Indiana. Of course, In this State it can be found in every city and vil lage. The reason that the ice cream made here has gained such popularity all over Xhm entral States is on account of its cheapness and fine quality of the goods. In all there is a daily average of about 500 or 6G0 gallons sent from here every day. DEMAND INCREASING. It Is said that the demand for Ice cream Is increasing every year, and this statement Is easily proven, because It has largely taken the place of any other dessert after dinner. It is seldom that people now who Invite a few friends in to spend the even ing do net produce the ice cream and cake as the refreshments for the occasion. It is getting so, too, that on warm evenings peo ple "will buy a little ice cream to eat as a matter of comfort, and In the drug stores and the soda fountains there are equally as many people call for the cream without the eoda as call for the two combined. The wholesale dealers here have it so arranged that now people can buy ice cream from the corner drug stores by the pint or quart and this Is becoming quite popular. As it formerly was a person ."ould not buy so large a quantity without going to the creamery, where he would have to wait un til it was packed, and, as the creamery was generally such a distance, he was out of the notion of wanting ice cream before he got there. A druggist who had a store at the extreme limits of the city conceived the idea of the pint und quart trade, so he pur chased some paper buckets and advertised the fact and in two days his sales had Jumped-from one gallon to four and five. After ho had made such a success of it the manager of one of the large creameries took it up and he encouraged the druggists who dealt with him to do the same, and every one who has undertaken it has tripled his trade. Many of the dealers ob jected to the druggist selling it in quanti ties at first because they thought that It would reduce their family trade, but they have now become convinced that this Is not the case, for they can notice no difference in their racked trade. They now see it Is an advantage to them, for their wholesale business ha3 grown and their retail trade Is not injured In the least, because the peo ple who buy it at the drug stores are only those who buy, take it home and eat It at once, but where they desire to have It packed so that it will keep they still go to the creameries. Of course the bulk of the ice cream busi ness is with the druggl.sts because they have a constant demand for it all the time, but the hotels and restaurants come in also fcr a large share as ice cream Is demanded by them in winter as well as summer. The prices In this city as charged by the local dealers are very low In comparison to those of other places, for it brings here sixty cents a gallon, while much of it is sold for less, but this is generally of inferior quality. There is probably no other busi ness in which competition Is as sharp as in this one, and the prices have been steadily dropping since lSl. when it sold for ninety cents a gallon. Even with the frreat competition during the extreme hot weather not half the orders can be filled. It may be said here that the demand for Ice cream during the winter time is almost as i;Teat as during the summer months. The difference that di.-tingiih-hcs the sum mer trade from that of the winter is that the most sold during the a weather 1 done in fancy molds ar.d the solid brick of various colors, while that of the sum mer time Is Just the ordinary vanilla or fruit Ice cream. Th re is a bitter grade of fancy brick cream made hrre f..r the money than In most cities. It is in thi3 fancy goods vsleie a iiianury can display Its originality, for the thing with them all is to get molls entirely distinct from those ued by other concerns. There are fads and styles in this like in everything else, and they all originate In the Kast. where different flavored Ice creams of var ious colors are molded into wl kinds of odd R II Catholic circles at Rome are much interested In the controversy between Cardinal Macchi and Trince Joseph rtcspIjrlioM. The cardinal has forbidden a nurse to attend Princess Kopplgllosl during her confinement, on the ground that 6he is not the wife of the pTince, according: to church law. The princess is an American and was married to the prince by civil ceremony, the Catholic Church rtfuein;? t rtcoRnizo the marriage. The prince is determined to secure satisfaction for the tsiigr-t iut on M.s wife. shapes. Washington City, where numerous state dinners are continually bting theld, is quite noted for starting all such fad.;. The creameries there charge $i a dozen for the same molds that are sold here for Jl.S.), and in most cities tiny charge $1.5-" a dozen for the molds that in this city sell for 51. REAL. A I IT DISPLAYED. It is in these fancy creams and ices that the real art in the making of ice creaia is displayed, and this can particularly be said of the ices. The trick in making thee is to get them frozen simultaneously and to have the flavors blended smoothly. Ices and frozen punch are becoming more in demand all the time, and no banquet or fashionable dinner is complete without them, and there is hardly anything more refreshing on a hot summer niht. The reason that they seem more delicious than the ordinary ice cream is that they are several degrees colder, but are much more difficult to keep because they will not freeze as hard and will melt much easier. Of these lemon and pineapple are the most popular. In the making of ice cream the large creameries mix 1Ö0 gallons of raw material in a big tank. The reason for putting such a large amount together is that where sev eral different dairymen furnish cream the per cent, of butter fat differs in each lot. For instance the butter fat in the cream from one man's dairy may run 15 per cent., while from another it may be between 20 and 21 per cent. Now if frozen separate there would be just that many different grades of ice cream, but by mixing all of the cream at one time that Is brought to a concern there is a uniformity of quality obtained. Of course, the very richest of cream and milk are used in all first-class establishments, for It Is universally known that the richer the stock frozen the smoother will be the cream produced. Aft er the raw material is mixed in the tank it is, poured In the freezing cans, which hold ten gallons each; then the sugar and flav oring are added and the ice is packed around the freezers, which are kept work ing for a given length of time, when they are unpacked, and the raw material Is transformed into ico cream ready for the market. These freezers are a great im provement over the old-stylo affairs and work so much faster that the creameries art? able to turn out twenty gallons every eight minutes. All of the improvements, however, in the making of ice cream have been in the machinery, for as far as the ingredients are concerned they arc the same to-day as they were forty years ago. It has got so now that the machinery does all of the work of making with the excep tion of measuring out the right propor tions, but aside from this the ice cream is not touched by a human hand from the time it is mixed until It is frozen. In all, the improvements have not had so much to do with the making of it as they have had with the methods of landling it. It is also due to these improvements in the man ufacturing that ice cream is made so cheap here. FINK DAIRY "COUNTRY. The reason that the creameries of In dianapolis are able to produce such large quantities of ice cream is that they are situated in the center of a very fine dairy country, and it Is an exceptionally easy matter to obtain the supplies. The out put of dai products has been steadily growing in ti. iate in the last few years, and the time is not far distant when Indi ana, which is destined to be the coming dairy State in the Union, will rank with any of them. Having within its borders several line markets for dairy products, besides numerous large cities just outside that tak-i what milk and cream are not used here, together w ith elegant pasture lands and good corn-growing soil, the dairy will be looked upon in tho near future with even more tavor than it is now. Of course without a generous supply of milk it would be im-pt.Si-ibie for the creameries to be prosperous. Tho cattle of this State thrive quite as well as do those of other States, for the simple reason that a larger variety of feed is nowhere found in greater abundance THEN SHE ACCEPTED HIM. Tom I wouldn't care to be the sweetest and prettiest girl alive. The Heiress Why not? Tom I'd rather be fcUtin next to her. nr:! ff 5pp Aw1 ! ,J!. ... : .' . - -'III ill iL- r r - '-!- l vi than here. Besides the grass and corn that are produced we have oats, clover, timothy, cow peas, sorghum, mangle Wur zel, sugar beets and wheat, which gives bran and what is called shorts. Retter feeds for cattle can nowhere be found than these, so it Is easily seen that th nat ural advantages are not against Indiana as a dairy State and the soil conditions are certainly very favorable. Every year this State produces about 141.000.SOO gallons of milk, and of this a large per cent, in wholesale lots is sent here and to Chicago. The sale of milk to creameries is much more profitable than is generally considered by dairymen. At a small railroad station not far from this city there are thirty small shippers who bring their milk to the station every morn ing, and it is brought here on the early train. In six months there were 13.210 cans of milk sent from here, aggregating about 12.1,312 gallons, which, at the average rate of S5 cents a can, would give over $12,t, or a monthly average of $2,160. Of these thirty shippers each receives about J72 a month for the sale of his milk. It is amaz ing when one stops to consider that from this small station nearly 10,0X) gallons of milk is shipped annually, bringing those few dairymen in over $25,000. This is but one incident in many cases of this kind. Another thing that is as essential in the freezing of ice cream as the ice and cream themselves Is salt, of which great quanti ties are used every year. In one of the large creameries of the city they consume from fifteen to twenty carloads of rock salt each year. This salt comes from near Syracuse, N. Y., from what is known as the Syracuse salt district, which is one of the largest fields in the world. The rait area there is situated southwest of the lake shore along the lines of the Oswego and Erie canals, lying about the lake at a dis tance of nearly two miles in a kind of half circle. Immediately adjoining it on the east is the Salina district, which 1j ako a part of 'the salt lields. The latter ex tends to about two-thirds of the entire length of the lake. This salt is crushed before being sent here. Since the discov ery of rock salt it has been one of the greatest aids in the manufacturing of ice cream, for it is superior for packing to any other, as it preserves after freezing longer. Another great advantage it has is its chemical qualities, which make the salt last several times as long as did that formerly used, for it only dissolves as the ice melts. ALL KINDS OF CUSTOMERS. Every man who thinks that he 13 a stu dent of human nature easily imagines that the business he Is in affords him excep tional opportunities for observations In this line. The man who manages a cream ery certainly has opportunities enough, for he sees all kinds of people from, the man buying ice cream for a church social to the bashful young countryman and his girl, but generally the manager cares lit tle for human nature, for he is too busy to observe it, so these chances for char acter study are thrown away. The men at the head of creameries insist that while all business men have their troubles those of the fellow In the creamery are extra strong. They say, as a general thing, people who order ice cream wait until about fifteen minutes before they are ready to serve it, then given in '.heir order and think it strange that the wagon has not come by the tinae they are ready for it. The manager of this business knows what to think of himself, and he knows how he is thought of by others, for he hears their opinions often enough; but he gets so used to it he doesn't care a rap and then everyone's opinion is different, though they all agree that he is never a gentle man or a man of his word. If he Is shrewd, and the general run of them are, he never refuses an order. No matter if he can't de liver the ice cream for an hour and a half, he will promise It in fifteen minutes and trust to luck on its getting there. Some times, by hustling a little, he will get It to the place very nearly on time, but if he can't the wrathful hostess will call him up by telephone, and he will swear that it is on the way and that if it does not arrive soon the wagon has surely broken down, while maybe he Is tearing around all the time trying to find somebody to deliver it. "There is one class of people we have spot ted," said tho manager of a large cream ery, "and that is the Sunday excursion ists who come from the country. The first place thej- break for is a creamery, because we give larger dishes of ice cream than they do elsewhere. We have also found that with the man from the country town and the one down on the farm the former always takes vanilla ice cream, and the latter strawberry, because he likes the color." Promise.

Augusta Kwrtiecht, la Iiis August Ctutury. Many people that witnessed the exhibi tions given by the trained polar bears at Fairview Park during last week expressed surprise that these cold-weather animals, who are at their best with the thermometer comfortably settled at the zero point, could be made go through their daily work with any degree of enthusiasm during the heat ed term. To most perrons it would seem that the anical show managers were run ning a great risk in shipping these valua ble beasts about the country at this time of the year, to say nothing of compelling them to actively engage in tluir special ties for the edification of the summer park crowds. But, according to the managers themselves, bears of all kinds are about the safest of all investments in a zoological way. They give little trouble, disdain cli matic changes, never become afflicted with pneumonia a malady so common among other wild animals and usually live long and die happy. The Hagenbeck trainer, John Dudeck, who has had charge of the bears during their exhibitions on the road this season, is full of all sorts of interesting informa tion about wild animals. Dealing in them, he says, has for many years been reduced to the same business basis as dealing in blooded and domestic stock. Hardly a week goes by in New York that cne of the great transatlantic ' freighters does not come into the harbor with a varied consignment of wild animals that have been sent across the ocean for the Instruction and amuse ment of the people of the United States. The finest specimens of bears, royal Ben gal tigers, biack-mmed lions, elephants, all varieties of the big cat tribe, and the great apes are shipped to and fro nowa days by menagerie men with as little con cern as If the valuable cargoes were so many chickens or white rabbits. The prices paid for such beast3 as lior.s, tigers and elephants are much Uss variable than those paid for fine dogs and horses, and the best of the menagerie attractions are really less expensive than most people imagine. Tor instance, a full-grown, clean and healthy lion is usually to he purchased for about $$00, while $1,200 Is his topmost limit in the market. On the other hand, a prize winning Scotch collie, like Sefton Hero, or a St. Bernard, such as Sir Belvidere, will bring any price from Sö.CM) upward. The tigers and other desirable members of the eat family bring about the same prices as the lions. HONEST ELEPHANTS. There is always a demand for good hon est elephants, Mr. Dudeck says. The ele phant, as a consistent laborer, will more than earn his own board and lodging, and for this reason hit: a constant value the whole world over according to his size, age, weight, good manners and intelligence. The lowest price for a well-trained, docile "tusker" as the animal men call them is $1,501. and the best will fetch as much as 53.000, either in this country or in Europe at any time. Next to the bear tribe, a showman can invest in nothing better than the big cats, the average lii'c of a lion or tiger in captivity being twelve years, al though some of the old stagers live to be much older despite transcontinental tours and one-night stands. There are home lions in the United States to-day that are thirty years old or over, one of them belonging to Frank Bostock, whose menagerie here in Indianapolis was once a feature of the city, and who now has charge of the zoo logical department in the "Shooting the Chutes" Park in San Francisco. Lions and tigers breed better in confinement than any other of the wild animals and a showman may count upon at least eight cubs each year from a healthy tigress. The leopard and panthers are not so prolific, and when they do bring little ones into the world it is ali that the keepers can do to prevent thm from killing the cubs at once. The great weakness of the cat family Is their breathing machinery. Juit as the domesticated cats of the fireside usually wind up their existence with lung trouble, the big felines from the jungle fall preys to this dread disease which a showman fears above all else. The slightest draught may prove the undoing of a fine tiger, leopard or panther that has been enjoying the best of health, and although the suf ferer may hang onto life with the per sistency characteristic of Ids tilbe, he hardly ever really recovers from the af fliction and, after causing his manager and keeper much concern and anxiety, passes in his checks or stripes, if he's a tiger and retires from the show business forever. A HEALTHY LOT. "And that's where the bears 'have in on their companions in captivity," adds Mr. Dudeck, in discussing the matter. "They are a healthy lot, as a whole, and I would rather train them than any of the other wild beasts. These Polar bears are expen sive, but all other varieties of the bear family are quite cheap when compared to the prices paid for lions, big cats and ele phants. A 'silver tipped' grizzly can be secured for $250. The real out-and-out grizzly is mighty rare nowadays and can hardly be procured for any amount of. money. The finest specimen now in cap tivity is the monster 'Monarch,' who has an open-air cage as big as a house in Gol den Gate Tark in San Francisco. The simon pure grizzly bear and the giraffe are the most costly of all animals, the latter animal being worth anywhere from 1,500 to JÖ.OOO. But gracious! I would hate to be bothered with the care of a giraffe he re quires as much attention as one of th-j Metropolitan opera singers, and is likely to die at any time after a little hard travel, Ostriches are delicate, too, and when in captivity they are forever suffering with stomach troubles.

"It does .seem queer that these polar bears can exist in this climate when one remembers what they have been accus tomed to before they were placed in cap tivity. Just think of it; they are not only living in an entirely foreign atmosphere, but they are forced to eat different food than nature intended for them. Of course we give them rish and everything else that they like which we can possibly procure for them. But up In the polar regions they feed on seals to a great extent, and they will even tackle the .walruses when condi tions are favorable. The polar bear dives with wonderful ease for such a bulky creature and is easily able to chase the seal amid the waves. As the seals fre quently crawl out of the water upon rocks or fragments of ice the bear is compelled to swim after them, but for fear that they will observe him he makes his approach by a series of dives and contrives that his last dive will bring him up immediately under the unsuspecting seal, who is at once 'caught and killed. Oh, you can wager that these fellows are intelligent. It really is not during their performances that you see them at their best, but at odd times during the day when some little incident will arise that will show them in their true colors and give one a better idea of just how much sense they really possess."

The other night three of these fellows ?at out in the grass at the side of a down-town Hat, bearing a ro mantic name, and the following was the result of the combined mental efforts: A woman went into the sanatorium of a New York nerve specialist of very wide reputation; she gave the card of a wealthy and well-known Chicago woman, saying: "I have a deranged son. I have traveled with him and done everything to divert his mind from his illusion, but it has been of no avail." The woman's troubled ex pression at once awakened in the doctor a kindly interest in the cae, and he asked: "What is the young man's special Illusion" "It is diamonds," replied tho woman; "he Imagines he has been robbed of an immense amount of these jewels." "Is he otherwise rational?" asked the doctor. "Yes," re plied the woman, "perfectly, and I have been advised to leave him In your complete charge, though I much dislike to do so. I will have to lure him here, as It will never do to let him know that I am bring ing him for treatment." So saying, the Iteuben lopay is again to got married. tay 5nle an' aetUe up!

Soon after this, the same woman entered Tiffany's jewelry store and presented the card of the well-known Chicago woman, saying she desired to purchase a diamond necklace to present to her tister who was to be married in Newport the following week. They showed her a number, and she linally concentrated her favor on two which wero before her. "Now," she paid, "I would like to show these to my brother-in-law," giving the name of the celebrated nerve specialist, "and If you have a trusted clerk he can go right along In my carriage and receive a check for whatever one we decide to keep." They told her, certainly, and a young man left with her, taking the two necklaces, one valued at $33,000 and the other at $43.000. When they arrived at the doctor's office, she asked the clerk to wait in the ante-room for a few minutes; and taking the diamonds with her she went into the doctor's private office. After the door was closed she told him that her son was without, and after instructing him to write her frequently at her Chicago address as to the young man's condition, she asked to be let out by the rear way, so that the young man would not know that she had left. The clerk waited in the outside office for some time. Finally becoming im patient, he got up, walked about the room, tried several doors, found them all locked, and immediately set up a yell. The doctor came from his private office. Introduced himself, and told him gently as possible that he had been left there for treatment and was tp remain with him. The young man began to run about the room in an effort to escape. "What is the matter?" the doctor asked. "Matter enough, replied the young man. "I have been robbed of JSO.OOO worth of diamonds." "Now see here," said the doctor, "I wish to have a quiet talk with you; come into my private office." The young man looked at him with a wild ?tare and the doctor continued: "There arc more and healthier things you can think about than diamonds; now divert your mind from them at once." The young man made for the doctor, they clinched, the doctor called for his assist ants, and after a long s.truggle the young man was put in Irons and a straight jacket. Tiffany's, after waiting several hours, tel ephoned to the doctor and asked if one of their men had been there. On the reply that lie had not detectives were put on the case and the whole scheme was finally laid bare. The day the woman carried her scheme into execution happened to be the sailing time of a number of large steamships. After having the doctor's oilice she en gaged passage under the name of the prom inent Chicago woman on a Cunard" steamer, already in the dock; she made herself con spicuous about the deck an hour or two be fore sailing time, but left the vessel a few minutes before the gang plank was pulled in. Of course, the authorities at once cabled to Liverpool, and when the steamer landed a number of Scotland Yard nun were in waiting to meet her, but no woman appeared. She had left the Cunard steam er, gone over to the docks of the North Ger man 1-loyd line, engaged passage under still another name, landed at Hamburg and finally went up into the north of Denmark, where there are no extradition treaties, and lived In peace and happiness forever after wards. It was over on Wabash street. A couple of dogs sniffed and whined at each side of a large bill board over against the "Vampire Theater." Charlie Zimmerman sat on the steps leading to the entrance of that place of amusement, his head bowed down and he was evidently composing a curtain speech fcr a pug mill eoon to be pulled off. A couple of boys sat In the buggy from which the horse had been detached in front of the livery stable across tho way. Cne of them was asleep, while the other took copious draughts from a battered tin can containing some frothy liquid.
