It is very evident that Methodist ministers know much more about things religious than things politic else the North Indiana conference just before adjournment at Logansport would never have commended in the same paragraph two things as opposite as Governor Hanly and the last legislature.—Portland Sun.

It would appear that Governor Hanly has some overzealous friends. The attempt to make political capital for him by flooding the Methodist conference at Logansport with glowing eulogies was in exceedingly bad taste, and will probably be resented by the governor, who, being an ardent Methodist himself, needs no booming in that institution. —Fort Wayne News. If the press of this country would put itself to the pains of noting the good deeds of noble men and women with as much zeal and energy as it records the misdeeds of bad men and women, public opinion as to the condition of what is commonly denominated society would in all probability undergo a marked change. Is there any good reason why such a procedure should not be adopted by the press? And would such a course not prove advantageous to American society?— South Bend Times. A Washington item says: "Vice president Fairbanks is entertaining much more liberally and frequently than formerly, and has employed a chef who takes precedence as a buyer with the market people of even the White House chef. Busybodies say his expense of living has suddenly jumped from a rate of $20,000 per annum to $100,000.” From the above it must be plain that Mr. Fairbanks has an income large enough to giv e him membership in that $5,000,000 conspiracy. Either that is so or else he has mighty good credit at the butchers’ and bakers'. In his letter to Harriman the presi-

dent said: "You and I are practical men.’’ As a practical man did Mr Roosevelt think these financial ai d corporation magnates were filling np his campaign chest in an emergency without expecting anything in return? Is that their habit? Or is it usual for campaign fund givers to exact, >r for the collectors to give “improper promises, direct or indirect or indirectly?"—Boston Herald. And as a “practical man” did not Mr. Roosevelt know that every big contributor to his campaign fund expected something? Did he suppose that Harriman's *250,000 jackpot was

i Sunday school donation or a prayer! meeting thank-offering? The report that the Hon. John L. Griffiths is to be given a better job than he now has will be good news to the Hon. John L. Griffiths. The office now held by Mr. Griffiths pays only about SB,OOO a year, and it now appears that there is an enormous amount of social responsibility connected with it. Judging from the reports that have found their way into I the newspapers, the balls and ban- ! quets, pink teas and receptions of the Liverpool elite are enough to sap the energies of the strongest and most determined public servant we can send to that place. It is evident that Mr .Griffiths has labored hard at all of these functions. What he now wants is to be transferred to a job with a larger salary and presumably less exacting duties. It is even possible that he is anxious to do some real work. And it may be said, in passing, that John dearly loves real work. PECULIAR MALADY Caused Death of Anna Rumschlag SICK BUT A FEW DAYS Was Better Monday Afternoon, Took a Dose of Medicine and Drink of Coffee and Died Within an Hour. Anna Catherine, the five year old daughter of Frank Rumschlag died Monday afternoon at the home on north Third street at two o'clock after an illness of a few days, death resulting from a peculiar malady. The little child had been ill for several days, but not serious, and she was given the best of care and attention. Monday morning the child appeared brighter and played about the house with the other children. After dinner Mrs. Rumschlag gave the child its medicine, but before taking it the child askd for a cup of coffee to take the taste of the medicine from its mouth. This request Mrs. Rumschlag complied with and the child drank he medicine and coffee and immediately a turn for the worse, and at two o'clock death resulted. She was .1 pretty little child, and was the lower of the household and its sudden demise is a shock to its grief stricken parents. The funeral services will be held Thursday morning at 7:30 o'clock standard time pt the St. Marys Catholic church, Father Wilken officiating and interment will be made in the St. Joseph cemetery. o C. W. RAY DIED IN MICHIGAN Remains Brought Here this Afternoon —Funeral Thursday. The remains of Cyrus W. Ray. who died Monday at Polson. Michigan, arrived this afternoon over the Grand Rapids and were taken to the home of John Ray, a son. on south Tenth street, where they will lie in state until tomorrow at twelve-thirty o'clock, when they will be taken to Monroe, where the funeral services will be conductd at two-thirty o'clock at the M. E. church, and interment will be made in Chapel cemetery. Mr. Ray was sixty-seven years of age, and formerly had resided at Monroe, he having only a few years ago moved to Michigan, where he had since made his home. He was ill but a short time, death resulting from a complication of diseases. Mr. Ray will be well remembered by the older generation.

SPLENDID SUCCESS Violin Recital by Mr Tony Holthouse AND HIS CLASS OF PUPILS Was Assisted by Others —Mrs. Clem Voglewede Hostess at a Delightful Pedro Party. The Violin Recital given by Tony Holthouse and pupils assisted by some of the most talented people in the city, last evening, at the Bosse Opera House, was not only a financial success, netting a neat little sum. but was largely attended and partook of the nature of a society event. A large crowd gathered in the hall and the efforts of those who had so kindly given their services were rewarded by the greatest enthusiasm by the audience. Each number was rendered except that of Mr. Louis Holthouse, but the rest were welcomed so warmly and sang and played so beautifully that the audience could not but feel that the evening had been a genuine treat with its wealth of fine music. Mr. Holthouse certainly has the congratulations of every one for such a perfect success. This was the first appearance of Mr. Holthouse and pupils in public, and it was more than a treat for the music lovers of Decatur.

Mrs. Clem Voglewede gave a charming pedro party yesterday afternoon at her home on Fourth street for the members of the afternoon club, for which all the appointments were attractive. At four o'clock the guests were served a delicious two-course luncheon. Mrs. Kuebler will entertain the same guests at a bqpquet one evening next week. The young ladies of the Pastime Club were charmingly entertained last evening by Miss Lettie Lange, at her home. The evening's main amusement was an amusing game called "musical neighbors." Miss Louise Holbrock captured the leading prize, after which an elaborate luncheon was served. The societies and leading events for today are: Shakespeare Club at the home of Mrs. Holloway; Ladies Aid Society of German Reform church with Mrs. Eli Sprunger; Bachelor Maids will meet this evening with Miss Ada Deininger. The Columbian Club dance which is this evening at the K. of C. hall. The Woman's Missionary Society of the Evangelical church will hold its monthly meeting on Thursday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock at the church. A good lesson study has been provided. The Y. P. C. U. of the United Brethren church will give a social at the parsonage on Thursday evening, April 18th. Refreshments will be served and every one who attends are assured an enjoyanle time. Bring 10 cents and a lead pencil. o CHURCH COMBINATION MAY FAIL Believed Congregationalists Will Not Join the Union. A year or more ago a move was started to combine the church denominations in Indiana known as the United Brethren. Congregational and Methodist Protestant, the three being so similar in their mode of worship that it was thought best to make the three one. and thus form one strong combination. It was figured that better churches could be maintained, better salaries paid to ministers, etc.

It was stated that the union was to be accomplished in about one year and the time has about arrived for the move to be made. In the meantime the congregations of the three bodies have had time to study over the matter and it is plain that if such a union is accomplished it will be with a good deal of friction. The first move against such a union was mads at Anderson when the members of the Congregational church took up the matter and unanimously decided that they were opposed to combining their church with the other two proposed. They instructed their delegates which were named to attend the state meeting at Terre Haute next month to oppose the matter with all the influence they could bring to bear. The delegates to the meeting at Cleveland. 0., to be held next October will be instructed in the same manner. It is probable now that all the Congregational churches will take similar action over the country and with such opposition confronting them it is highly probable that the national council of the tri-unlon will rescind their order to unionize the three bodies.

TO VISIT TERRELL (Continued from page 1.) even after a commission had been appointed and had pronounced the defendant sane, the court visited the prisoner and decided that he was insane. refused to proceed with the trial and that the highest courts in the land upheld him. It was at this juncture that the judge announced his decision of going to Richmond,to make a personal investigation of this particular case. The court refused to make any entries or entertain any motions at this time, however, and the Terrell case was again given a sudden and decided check. The resuit of the investigation of Judge Erwin will be watched with a great deal of interest, as the sanity of the prisoner has always been a mooted question. DEFENDS HIS RECENT DECISION Judge Artman Insists That He Was Right. At Lebanon Sunday night Judge Samuel R. Artman delivered an address at the Central Christian church under the auspices of the brotherhood of that denomination on the subject "The Legal Status of the Saloon Business. The church was filled. The men of the city were given a special invitation to be present. The address was a defense of Judge Artman's recent decision in the Saltau liquor case. The lecture was first developed the fact that society was organized and civil government established as a means of enforcing the moral law. This being true, he said, it, of course, follows that the Constitution and the common law are bottomed and based upon the principles of the moral law. the eternal and unchangeable principles of right and wrong, hence, the underlying princi pies of the Constitution, the common law and the moral law are one and the same.

Then it was argued that any busi ness which is necessarily and inherently destructive of the fundamental purposes of organized society, that is* of civil government, is unlawful and is denied a legal existence by the Constitutions (Federal and State) the common law and the moral law. The saloon, being merely the ven dor of dissipation, he said, comei within the class. Judge Artman argued that the United States Supreme Court and many state supreme courts have held that the Constitutions (Federal and State), the common law and the moral law deny the saloon a legal existence. In view of these conditions, the only possible source of an y claim to a legal existence, he said, for the saloon must come from the license statute. _o —. How to Avoid Apperdiattis.
