THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, SUNDAY, JUNE 15, 1890. ? THE TEACHING OF GERMAN It Was the Sole Issne in an Election YhereNeitherSideWonan Advantage. All the Old Members of the School Board in the Contested Districts Returned tj Large Votes and Decisive Majorities. The school election held yesterday "brought out a large poll and showed that the discussion on restricting German to certain grades in the . schools had pene trated nearly every stratum of society. Good nature prevailed for the most part, "but occasionally some warm words passed. There was indeed a deep undercurrent of feeling, indicating pronounced con victions on the subject. Party pol itics did not cut much of a figure, although two of the districts, the Third and Ninth, each had candidates of opposite political beliefs. In the Fifth and Sixth districts the opposing candidates -were both of the same party. It -was purely a question of German or German restricted. The result was something of a victory for the anti-German party, inasmuch as the present board, which passed the order eliminating German from the lower grades, -will stand as it -was. The anti-German party gained no new members. In the Third district a surprising activ ity -was shown by the pro-German party, and it is thought fully $1,000 -was spent in making a poll, carrying on' the canvass, hiring carriages, and in spending money in other ways. Dr. Oarver had made no preparation for the race, and was aston ished -when he ' learned that the opposition had done so. lie said ho did not expect so much activity for an office without compensation. The Doctor, however, boldly stood his ground, lie re ceived the active assistance of a few friends, but the most of them seemed' to think 9 had a walk-over. Dn: ing the day there was at times some douot, and Dr. Garver himself stirred round pretty lively. He had to do his own challenging, for the most part, and make the opposition swear in a large number of voters, lie took the names of some, of -whose right to vote. He entertained doubt even after they -were sworn. Forty-two colored men from the Circle neighborhood -were voted. The colored vote, as a mass, went to the opposition, another surprising incident of the canvass in this district. Doctor Garver received a handsome majority in' the face of such vigorous opposition, and earned it Ly his hard work- The fight in the Fifth -was likewise re markable for the interest taken ' by tho Irish citizens. They voted solidly, against German, but good nature prevented any raco troubles. Tho vote was .usually, "open," the vest-pocket voter not 'cutting much of a figure. Carriages and wagons were constantly used on both sides in bringing voters to the polls. ; - The Sixth district was Btirred to the bot tom and the largest vote in the history of the school elections of the district was cast. At the previous election only 00 votes were cast all together. The breweries are resonei ble for the large majority here. . Wagon after wagon-load of brewers' employes were "brought to the polls all the morning. Cap tain Fesler made a manly tight, and re ceived the votes of a large number of Ger mans. Some ugly temper wa shown in the morning, but no disturbance occurred. The Ninth district found the pro-German party -with a poll of the "voters and de termined to win. The Uremcn party made a gallant fight, and induced some Germans to vote their ticket. The vote here, too, was mostly open and free from party lines. The following is the result by districts: Third District. I)r. J. J. Garver 390 Dr. W. C. Thompson 209 Carver's majority isi Fifth District. John Gal via. .....G72 John Kupp 430 Galvin's majority ....... 242 Sixth District. J. W. Loeper 063 J. W. Fesler 483 Loeper's majority 485 yinth District. Clemens Vonnegut 683 Joseph W. Greenen 312 Vonnegut's majority. 371 THE FLY-FISHERMEN. They Cast for Points and Distance in an In teresting Contest at Tomlinson Hall. . The Fir-fishermen's tourament in Tom linson Hall, which was to .have been held yesterday morning, was postponed nntil after dinner, at which time a very fair number of spectators had assembled. A tank sixty feet long and forty feet wide Vras used, the casting being made on level ground. M. D. Butler, Dr. F. O. Clemmer, A. T. Beck. S. L. Douglass, Lew Hanford. A. B. Prather, B. B. Dildine, George P. Mc t)ongall, Frank Holliday, Charles Meyers and others took part in the contest, the number being limited to members of the club. The result of the entertainment was very gratifying, and similar ones will be given in years to come. In summing up tho points average dis tance, delivery and accuracy were con sidered. The average distance cast ranged from that of M. D. Butler, 74.50 feet, down to 54.S0 for Dr. J. T. Boyd, the other meas urements being. Lew Hanford, 73.S0; B. B. Dildine, 70.70; George P.

Talk about the eight-hour law," said a driver of the street-railroad company yes terday, "the employes of' our company have nothing like that, but the mules beat it by a long shot Now them mules," he further remarked, pointing to some sleek, long-eared fellows, munching in their stalls, "only work four and a half hours a. day. They work hard enough then, and it worries them. Think a minute. Apairof mules are out for an hour and a half, aud make one trip of eleven miles. They make three trips a day. or thirty-three miles. It is fast travel ing to make eloven miles in ninety ruin ntes. and have to keep it up. Often they have heavy loads to pull, sometimes sev enty to eighty people. Oh. tho mules work hard enough for four and a half hours. They don't have to organize to get it, either." Note About People. Col. John M.

Linnaeus Roberts, In Pittsburg luaoatch. Fifteen yoarsago this week a mighty cloud of winged insects rose from stricken Kansas. It darkened the sun and then rolled away to the north and west toward the Kocky mountains. In less than one hour the grasshopper plague had vanished aud hope took the place of despair in the hearts of the people. In the summer of 1871 Kansas suffered from a severe drought. In August naked stalks of weeds and dry blades of grass rat tled at every step of the passer-by. Hot winds came from the south and west, and one day, on the wings of these warm, mes sengers, camo a shower of grasshoppers or Kocky mountain locusts. Big fellows they were, an inch and a half in length. They hopped about for a few days, but finding little to eat, disappeared almost as sud denly as they had come. jSo damage was done to the crops, for such as had weath ered the trying drouth were all matured. The older settlers shook their heads, and said: "These old hoppers will never trouble ns again, but there is certain dis aster ahead. We must lookout for their many times multiplied progeny. Next spring we shall have grasshoppers in swarms, whero this year they have come in handfuls." A careful examination of the ground proved that these fears were well founded. There were millions of tiny holes in which eggs had been deposited. The laying of theso eggs was. in fact, the solo mission of thin .vanguard of the grasshopper army. There was, of course, much apprehension of coming hard times. But many forgot what they had so much dreaded. Here and there a wise man sold his farm at much sacrifice and moved away. Others, sought to avert the danger bv turning up every square rod of land on their farms to the irosts of winter. . In this way many eggs were doubtless destroyed, but as the wise old grasshoppers had selected places along the roadsides where tho ground was hardest in which to deposit their eggs, the larger portion of them were left undis turbed. Besides, there was no concert of action among tho farmers, and no systemat ic efforts made to head off the pest. Spring came, and with it came all the busy scenes connected with farm life. It was an early season. April saw every crop in and well under way. May. opened in all her beauty, and yet no sign of grass hoppers. But the closing days of that beautiful' May brought the vindication of the prophets. The little grasshoppers began to appear. They could be counted at first, and they wero such tiny things. The next day they had come in countless millions, and for several days thereafter they seemed to in crease in the same ratio, until they were no longer estimated in numbers, but tho terms bushels, tons, and square miles each in turn served as a unit of measurement. Tho land all at once seemed to have become alive. The surface was moving in a mass, now in this direction, now in that Crops dieap- appeared as if an all-powerful magician with a single pass of his wand had spoken them out of existence. The fields were laid as bare as winter had left them. Gardens bore not a vestige of their recent greenness. Ihe little insects wero particularly fond of onions and radishes. They ate down to tho smallest hair roots, leaving the beds curi ously perforated. Nothing green on or near the ground escaped their ravages ex cept the leaves of the osago orange. ' The hedges of this shrub were left untouched. Suddenly the grasshoppers increased in size. They had moulted. Then they seemed to have a fondness for city life-. They trav eled the streets in vast droves. As .vegeta tion disappeared, thev became weak and, i ii .1 i ' . . inactive anu uo longer irieu 10 gen out oi the way of pedestrians. They were crushed in great numbers on the pavements: As the insects became weakened from lack of food, the J seemed to be greatly af fected by the heat of the sun, and in order to avoid it they crowded along the shadows of buildings on the south side of a street. ' Here they were piled upon one another against the walls of the buildings to tho height of a foot or more. From this came the expression, 'grasshoppers drifted a foot deep." lhe stench from their crushed bodies was very trying to the olfactories. Had it not been for several dashing rams. which cleaned the streets from end to end. the consequences might have been much , more serious. Grasshoppers were everywhere. Thev came into the houses, like the frogs in piague-stnciien Jbgypt: found their wav into the breadtrays. You break open a biscuit at meal time, and behold, a grass hopper. You turn down the bedcovers on retiring, and out jump grasshoppers. Pump spouts were clogged with the insects. It was not safe to eat anything or to drink in the dark. Attempts were made to harvest the young grassnoppers. une device was adopted iu Morocco during a locust plasrue more than a century ago. It was to dig a long trench and drive the grasshoppers into. it. Boards were set up . on edge divercincr from the ends of the trench several rods. As the in sects came to the boards they converged to tno DrinK ox tne aitcn and their next move ment landed them at the bottom. They had not yet got their wings and were not large enough to iump over the boards or the trench. The loose earth was then packed down upon the 6trngsliuc mass and. millions of grasshoppers had been de stroyed. JJid it make any perceptible differ ence in the numbers above ground! Not one wnit. It was a mystery how they lived and grew after the first wholesale destruction of crops, but they must have found some thing to eat, for many of them Jived to get away from the land which had turned into a waste. With an energy such as is sure to follow every great disaster, the farmers ! went to work and replanted their lields. Corn was the principal crop. Some of it matured, but tho greater nart made onlv fodder. Although there was no very -widespread destitution as a result of the grass hopper visitation, much financial distress on account of it was felt for several years. A QUEER HOTEL. It Is In Guatemala City, and Some Things About It Are Not Seen Everywhere. i Chicago Tribune. The nueerest hotel in the world is in Guatemala City, Central America," said an English tourist, who is stopping at tho Kichelieu. "While there a few weeks atro 1 stopped a day at the biggest hostelry aud met with more surprise than I have previ ously encountered in my trip around the world. The house is built only one " story high, on account of the earthquakes. It is constructed in the form of a hollow square, and the interi or court is mado beautiful with trees and flowers. Tho exterior presents the appear ance of a prison. After pounding a high knocker, on the outer -door, you are ushered into a scene of verdant beauty. lhe hotel was. formerly the private residence of one of the richest families of Central America, but the owner was banished by President Barrios for an alleged conspiracy against the gov ernment. Around the interior were Dal conies overlooking a sardon filled with orange and peace trees, palms and beau tiful flowers. The fare was good, and we had our choice of pancakes with honey, fish, poultry, fruits, and coffeo and chocolate. You can't eat there if you are in a hurry, though. Only one thing is served at a time, and you can't get a cup of coffee until everything else has been served. The hotel furnishes candles, but matches are extra. Then there is a system of calling the guests which entitles the hotel to the name of the queerest one on the earth. . You are called by Hies. The Hies down there are nearly as large as an English sparrow, and they sting like a hornet, though the bite is not poisonous. They never kill them, but brush them away. The halls of the hotel are tilled with these pests in the morning. Over each door is at transom. Now, if you leave a call for 7 olock your transom is opened at 7 and the Hies go in. Do they wake yonf I should say so. The sensation is like that ot being sandbagged. In live minutes from tho time your transom is opened you are down-stairs looking for the proprietor. It doesn't do any good to kick, though, for that system has been the cus tom :or years." The Steamer Chair. Boston Transcript. The steamer chair has a very influential place in life nowadays. It is an established institution. Slowly it is acquiring the qualities of an heirloom. Already there are plenty of second-hand steamer chairs to be had. Probably only a small proportion of the swarming scores of our people who sailed on the Cephalonia, Saturday, had 3uite new and wholly individual chairs for eck service. Most of the chairs were good travelers, and had crossed the ocean more than once, either with their present owners or with some collateral friend or possessor. When Atlantic travel gets wholly civilized, and passengers are no more expected by the steamer companies to bring aboard their deck chairs than thcirbeds or their dinners, when, indeed, an ocean liner attains to the uncounted comfort of a Pullman car, these i'ointed and jointlesi chairs will come into lifih honoras relics. You may imagine your grandchildren exhibiting them in their par lars." as sninniutr-whcels are nut . on show now, to prove the quality of one's ancestry. It is even possible that a big bow may bo iieu on to ooxten xne outlines oi wuai win then be probably called "the crude, but charmingly sincere, old chair." HARRIET HOSMER'S WORK. The Model of the Crerar-Lincoln Memorial Designed by the Famous Female Sculptor. Chicago Elite News., Miss Harriet G. Hosmer. tho distinguished sculptor, has just completed a design for the Crerar-Lincoln memorial, which has been occupying her time and thought ex clusively , for several months, wnen addressing the Chicago Woman's Club Miss Hosmer dwelt on the value of persistent work, without which no great results are aohieved. This, her design, fur nishes the most striking illustration of the truth of her assertion, for it tells of steady and well directed effort. The result of her labor is a revelation. The artist has suc ceeded in solving that most difficult prob lem, regarded by many as impossible, the treatment of a modern subject in a poetic manner. In this group she has created an ideal work, embodying a lofty conception oi a great national theme in a way to stir all hearts. It tells its own story in simple and expressive style. The thought pre-eminent in the sculptors mind is Lincoln, the emancipator and martyr. Placed upon the central and most elevated portion of the architecture, the seated, figure of Lincoln dominates the group; his earnest gaze is resting upon a figure 'placed upon a pedestal somewhat lower than his own. Tho inscription be neath the figure of Lincoln, "God sent me a vision," supplies the keynote to the whole unfolds to him is that of the African sibyl, seeress and prophetess, foreshadowing the freedom of her race. The idea suggested by the vision is dawning upon his mind, and the possibilities of her race are re vealed to him. While the artist has faithfully repro duced his well-known features, the face of Lincoln appears idealized by the force and grandeur of the thought which illuminates it and which ho will soon translate Into ac tion. Iu spite of bis attitude of repose the figure expresses a world of energy. The sibyl lifts her eyes to Lincoln, and, as seeress and prophetess diviniug the thought awakened in her mind, inscribes upon her ponderous tablets the now classic words: "If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong." She is clothed in a tiger skin, typical of a ruder civilization, and wears a headdress into which are introduced elephants' tusks, indicating the Orient. Grand with all the possibilities of her race embodied in her robust frame, and all the hopes of her future expressed in her countenance, she forsees the triumph soon to come. Clasping her knees a negro child in chains, symbolizing the degradation and suffering of her race, t he stigma of slavery in its horror aud barbarism, looks plead ingly into the face of the liberator with an expression so pathetic that it brings tears to our eyes. The child, as if by instinct, perceives in the faces of Lincoln and the sibyl the hope aud promise of freedom. lo the left of the monument upon a ped estal similar to the pedestal of the sibyl, reclines the figure of mourning, Victory, with averted face and head bowed down in sorrow; foreseeing tho dearly bought tri umph, she casts her vail over her insignia, the trumpet and laurel crown. The droop ing wings and attitude of grief form a marked contrast to the inspired look of hope in the face of the sibyl. . Aa wo look upon it we seem to hear in the far distance the muilied roll of drums and the funeral dirge, a nation's sorrow for her illustrious dead. The African sibyl, in her strength and grandeur, does not possess ideal beauty in the Greek sense., lhe Victory, in her ma jestic beauty, presents to us the pnrest Grecian type in all its refinement and no bility. The architecture of the monument is massive and harmonious and of admir able proportions. . Thus this grand and poetic conception impresses tbe beholder as most noble and elevating, worthy alike of artist aud donor. . It does, not always follow that good in tentions 'of a benefactor are realized in tho signal manner in which the trust of Mr. Crerar will be executed. The Crerar-Lincoln memorial, as de signed by Miss Hosmer, is the most fitting monument to a citizen so noble and munifi cent as was John Crerar. He appreciated the value of ideal art as a potent factor in education and as one of the forms of ex pression of the highest aspirations of man. Chicago is to be congratulated upon be coming, the possessor of this monument, . ji wmcn ior granueur oi conception anu poetic treatment marks a new era in mod ern sculpture. Ways to Use Strawberries. Canned Strawberries. Make a clear syrup, measuring pound for pound with your berries. While hot, drop in the straw berries, a very few at a time, and carefully, so that thev will not be mashed. After they boil up once or twice, dip the berries out of the syrup, and let the latter boil until . it . mi i xi. : quite miCK. xuen replace mo uernes, and.' while hot. proceed, to can in the self-sealing jars. Have you ever tasted a strawberry pie? Line you pie -dish with a. first-class crust. (I assume that you know how to make that.) Lay the berries in the crust so that they are snugly pressed in one lay er. Bo sure not to heap them up carelessly, for that will make too much juice. With your, hand, sprinkle sugar thickly over them, for although the raw berry may be sweet, it seems to grow sour iu heating. This nie needs no cover save narrow strips of pastry; and no water for the heat will draw out juice in aoundanco. Servo this pie with a dressing of whipped cream, and you will find that it is a dessert worth remembering. 8traw berry and Currant Jam. Take two 4 A 1 I A 1 a 1 A. pints oi rne ciear currant juice, anu to n add an equal quantity of best white sugar. Place in the Kettle, and. when hot, add a mixture of eight pounds of strawberries,. mashed up with five pounds of sugar. Let this be boiled until thick, all tbe while stirring with a silver spoon. Seal while hot. Strawberry Jam. For six pounds of fresh berries, take four pounds of finest white sugar. Place the sugar in a porcelain-lined kettle, with just enough water to moisten it. .When the sugar melts into a hot, clear syrup drop the berries in slowly, so that thev will not bo too much mashed. Wh en this is done set the kettle on tho back of the stove and let the contents simmer. It will not bo long until theinice. if tried by dippiuir a little into a saucer, will be found to thicken and jelly. Then take it off the stove at once ana proceed xo ooitie in seii sealinc iars. The old-fashioned way of cooking jam nntil it would keep without sealing is now out of date. We can have the jars in small sizes, and thus save our selves the long stirring, and also secure a much better llavor for the fruit. Strawberry Short Cake. To a quart of floor add a pinch of salt and three teaspoon fuls of baking-powder. Sift twice. Rub into this one tablespoonfnl of lard and one of butter, and mix quickly and soften with cold, sweet milk. Butter a tin plate and roll a piece of douch to nt it. about three- fourths of an inch thick. After placing it in the tin, spread the top lightly with soft butter, and add another layer of the same size and thickness. Bake immediately in a hot oven. When done, separate the two layers and place the seasoned berries neatly between the two, and on top; after which spread a cup of whipped cream over the top. To raako the latter, take a cup of sweet cream and place on ice till thoroughly cold, then uso'the esg-betiter expeditiously till the cream is frothy and stiff; stir in lightly, three tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar and use immediately. Rose Perfume and Rose-Leaf Preserves. Decorator and Furnisher. Small qnantitiesof the attar of roses may be be collected in this manner: Procure two glass jars, one small enough to fit in the neck of the other. Half fill the larger jar with rose petals, in the smaller place a pieco of very fine, clean sponge soaked in pure olive oil. Invert the larger jar over the smaller, and set them in the sunshine. The rare volatile essence of the ilowers will bo concentrated in the end; as the petals dry replace, them with the fresh. After awhile squeeze the sponge for a tiny quan tity of the attar it contains, and preserve in a tightly-corked vial, or, better still, rinse the sponge with pure alcohol and pre serve that. One of the first confectioners in this coun try describes in this way the way of mak ing rose-leaves preserves, those confections which are served in Turkish hareems: Take ajar, ot which the mouth aud bottom are tho samo size (like a Dundee marma lade jar), and in the bottom sprinkle a layer of crystallized sugar; over that place a layer of rose leaves, then alternate with sugar till the jar is tilled. Be sure that sugar is the top layer. Paste two thick nesses of paper over the top, and set in a cool, dark place till falL It is then fit to tnrnont and serve, and nothing can be moro delightful for the eye or palate. Those who have used this confection onco will never fail to prepare it afterward. TRIALS OF THE "BAD" MAN. How Billy the Kid Was Compelled to Shoot a Cowboy by Ills Reputation. ' Dan Quin, In Kansas City Star. A Western man cowboy for instance always has a horror of bem regarded ai 'bad A reputation as such brings a heap of danger.

For this yere good an' co thpre ain't nobodv hankenn' much, now to stand high in the public mind as a killer. 'T recalls a case in point which happens all easy enough down near Tramperas in the Panhandle. This yere Bonney, they calls Billy the Kid, was bein' hooked an' horned 'round by a "Cross-L7 boy iortrouuie. Mr. Cow-puncher, who was makin himself obnoxious, was about live drinks ahead, an seein Bonney ho naturally allows he needs killin' a heap which he shorely did an; bein' some public spirited, concludes he'll just 'tend to it himse'f an7 have it done an' over. So this yere cow-puncner, wnicn nis name war Jim Sanborn, comes p'intin 'round where Bonney is more'n forty times. a layin' an7 a bnshwackin' for to gee a chance to stretch him, an it shorely seemed mighty scandalous cause Bonney was keep in' ouiet an' cettin' away from it all he could. Finally he goes up to Billy an' says: " Thi8yere'8 Mr. Bonney, 1 takes it 'That's shorley me every time,' said Bonney. " 'I hears how you went cavortin about plenty permiscus doorin' the Lincoln coun ty war along of old John Cbisholm: an' made it some smoky shoo tin' 'round a kill in' of people down on the Kio Pecos them days' savs Sanborn. " 'Whatever I did on the I'ecos you can ramble a heap was right says inny, ge- tin' uelv. 'cause he never liked to hear nutbin' about John Chisholm. no how. " L don't care nutnin' ior wnat you am says Sanborn, 'an none whatever for the Pecos, neither; but I recalls with pleasure hearin' a man say as how you were nutbin' but a Panhandle hoss-thief, an' never eat a piece of your own beef in your life, which said utterances I blindly takes as troo.' "Of course, there was no sense prolongm7 such a fool discussion any longer, it bein' simply a waste of time, realizin' of which' lionney's gun comes to the front like a ray of light, an' the way he mixed a bullet with Sanborn's brains didn't bother him a bit. He wasn't none too prematoor, neither, for Sanborn's pistol was a comin', too, and the twentieth part of a second longer wonld have found the Kid a tamperin' 'round tbe great white gates of pearl an' gold, a ropin' at St. Peter for in an' not gettin' it. Of course, there was no blame a goin' to Bon ney, 'cause Sanborn made the game himse'f an' forced the play. Some of the Cross-L' boys it bein' Sanborn's ranch came in an' said as much themselves. As soon as San horn tumbled, Billy sets down on a coffee sack in the store, where the shootin' was, an' takes to sheddin' tears mighty copious. " 'It's my luck.' he says; 'this here San born was all right, an' if he hadn't seen mo he wouldn't have no idea of shootin' . nutn in'. I was just a temptation to him to test me an' looks like I had more of this yere killin' business to do than any boy in the territory.' "'This yere shootm' was right, I takes it.' says Tom Harris, who was a range boss on the Cro8s-L,' 'an' so Billy, you needn't bother about none. The ranch has got a notion it loses a heap of cattle by you an' one day we aims to settle with you. But this killin' needn't count The ante was a little high for Sanborn, but he made the game an' '11 have to stand it.'" Not lor Fishing. . Detroit Free Press. A citizen with a fish-polo over his shoul der was going up Cass avenue yesterday when a stranger called out: 'Have any luck! ' Fifty feet further on a second inquired: "Are they biting now!" At the next corner a third stopped him and asked: "Say, what'll you take for a ton of 'em!" A fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh had their say, and the eighth bore down upon him with: "I tell you, old fellow, you may laugh at tho iaea" of spitting on your bait, but it brings luck, and 1 can prove it," "Speaking to me!" queried the man with the pole. . . "Certainly." "What do you take me for!" "Why, you are going a fishing." "Who said so!" "Haven't you got a fishing-pole!" "Suppose I have! If I saw you carrying a bar of soap home, would I argue that you were going home to do the family wash ing!" But aren't vou going a-fishing!" "No, sir! This pole is to punch the spar rows' nests out of the eaves of my house. Mighty funnj' how many people there are in this world who are interested in other folks' business!" Delated Congratulations.
