TRUANT (MS BRING OUT PITIFUL STORIES

ft 'Parents Tell of Efforts to Keep Children in School, and Court i|c^ Proves Lenient.

Henry Parsons, a laborer, living at I1200 South First street, was fined $10 land costs by Judge Colliver in the Ju'ventla Court Saturday morning for [violating the state law in not requiring his daughter pansy, 13 years old, [to attend the Crawford sohool. The flue was suspended, however, on the {man's statement that he would see to :lt that his daughter started into school ion Monday morning and continue her attendance.

Several other parents were haled before the court for failure to require I their children to attend school, and pitiful tales were brought out of the efforts of parents in Indigent clrcumstances to see that their children ure 'clothed and fed and kept In sohool.

Trying to Raise. Children.

*T John Davis, & coal miner, living at S00 North Fourth street, told of his efforts to bring up his family of four children after the death of their mother, five years ago, and said that while his boy, Jesse, a#ed 14. bad failed to attend school he, the father, had done all he could to make the boy attend. The examination disclosed the fact that the man can not write, excerpt his own nam* and he was trying to give the children an education, which two girls and a younger son appreciated, and attended school regularly. The two gtrls are with a married sister near Brasil, hut the younger son, aged 7, lives with the father, who arises early every morning, gets the 'child's breakfast and prepares the lunch before he proceeds to his work In one of the coal mines across the river. The father promised to have the boy in court next Saturday morn-

Ing. when Captain Stahl will report rfc after an investigation as to what can be done.

The father misunderstood the good offices of the eourt, prosecuting attorney and probation officer, and said that rather than give up his boy, whom he had taken care of since his mother's death, he would leave the state even if he had to walk out to escape the jurisdiction of the court. He was %'*,• finally made to understand that the l"4 court was working to protect his boy, and give him a future, and he went away satisfied.

Other Cases Continued.

The cases against Edward Hotckhlss, I ~"Iu }jeater at the Highland Iron and Steel company, was continued indefinitely on his promise to see that his boy, Samuel, goes to School regularly.

The case of James Bolton, and that of his son, Mason, was also continued i: until next Saturday.

James A. Stewart, a laborer, living at 'J.547 South Thirteenth street, told a pitiful story of his efforts to feed and clothe his family of tweDve children, :k several of them being stepchildren. The boy complained of, Byron Chancellor, is a stepson, 14 years old, and Stewart said that when the boy was out of school he had gone into the country to work to secure money to help buy his x^inter clothes. The case was continued by Judge Colliver, with injunctions to the stepfather to use every effort to have the children attend school.

SAYS FIFE

Evangelist Aiswers Question, "Can a Man Be Saved Without Being Member of Institution?"

The sermon last night at the Central Christian church revival conducted by the Fife brothers was on "Can a Man Be Saved and Never Join a Church.?*' The evangelist said: "A man can no more be a christian out of Christ than one can be a soldier and never join the army or a so 11 or and never put on a uniform, or a citizen of this country and never be born here or naturalized. The church is the great body of believers In Jesus Christ who have been redeemed by the Mood of Christ through obedience to Christ's commandments. This body of Christ Is reppresented as the church, the lamb'B bride. Since the blood of Christ is in Christ's body, as your blood is in your body, and you have to come into oontaet with the blood of Christ In order to be saved from sin, how then can you explain that a man can be saved out of the body of Christ's obedient believers which is the churoh of the living God? "Suppose that all the church members would refuse to band together into any organized work for the advancing of the kingdom of God. How many million of them would be required to make a church big enough to have a flght? Tou couldn't stand enough of them on a section of land to ever jnake

About 160 people have already been added to the churches since the first call Sunday morning and it is expected fhat hundreds of others will be added tonight and in the services tomorrow.

The noonday meeting held at the Vandalia round house Friday was attended by almost the entire working force.

In the afternoon four members of the party entertained the students of the Terre Haute Veterinary college. This morning at 10:30 Barl H. Fife, chorus director, met the junior choir of the Sunday school and conducted a short song service. The sermon tonight will be on "Three Views of Salvation.

CLUB ENTERS PIANO CONTEST.

Mrs. Gulick Asks Help of Friends to Win instrument At Root's. Mrs. Flora Gulick, founder of the Boys' club, has entered the popularity contest being conducted by the Root store, the prize in which is a piano. Mrs. Gulick announces that if she can win the piano she will present it to the Boys' club, and asks the friends of the members of the club to help her with that end in view.

The club epctends its thanks to the Needle Work Guild, which gave thirty turkish bath towels, of which the club was greatly in need.

STREET PAYING LESSONS.

The consulting engineer of Brooklyn, G. "W. Tilson, contrasts in the American City magazine, the condition of street paving in this country and in European cities. Mir. Tilson says that our good new pavements are as good as those in Europe, and in the case of wooden pavements better but, that in Europe more care is taken in construction, more attention given to details, and greater promptness shown in making repairs. One result is that the European pavements last longer and the repair bill is less. A special thing recognized In EJurope is that openings made in pavements once laid are very injurious and the greatest care is taken to provide against them in advance. Mr. Tilson declares that only standard first class material should be used, and that the work be done more carefully with great attention to small details. The number of openings should be reduced to a minimum. He calls attention to the fact that the whole of a street is the city's for the people thereof and that enroachments should not be allowed.

All should be treated as a street according to its uses and not merely the roadway. The surface of the pavements should be as little broken by obstructions as possible, and we should pay stricter attention to manholes and lids of all kinds. Street car tracks should be specially handled to make and keep an unbroken smoothness of surface. City officials should work with street car authorities so that this work may be done all at once and In the best manner. Above all, repairs should be made promptly. A small spot can be repaired neatly, a large one almost necessarily leaves a great blotch. -i— HAVE YOU ANYTHING FOR SALE?

a church big or strong enough to make one convert. How then can you justify yourself in the sight of Almighty God from refusing" your fellowship to the organized work of the Kingdom of God when by that refusal you make it impossible for the ordinances of the churoh to ever be perpetuated, one missionary to ever be sent, a pastor to be secured or a revival which is the power for extending God's kingdom on earth, to ever be held? There is no quicker way to lose your soul and to kill the power of Christ in a community than to refuse to identify with the organized work of the church that teaches what you know that the bible says to do in order to be saved."

K.C.ST0CK YARDS FIRE SWEPT LOSS $125,000

Thirty Acres of Pens Are Destroyed and Several Men Are Slightly Injured In Conflagration.

KANSAS CITY, Mo* Nov. 7,—A Are that burned fiercely for several hours early today, swept over the Kansas City stock yards and destroyed thirty acres of pens, covering one-third of the cattle seotlon of the yards. Tbe loss at first estimated at three-quar-ters of a million dollars, was a little more than $125,000 according to stock yard officials.

Several men were slightly injured by burns and falling timbers but nemo was seriously hurt. Whether any oat tie perished in the flames was not known, but officials said they believed all had been removed and if any burned the loss would be small.

The loss to the yards will result In only temporary Inconvenience, It was said today, gt/ck receipts are normally light at (this time of the year and while the business here has been gTeatly Increased by reason of the dosing of the eastern stock yards on account of the prevalence of foot and month disease among the cattle In several states, all shipments would be taken care of, it was announced. Work was commenoed at onoe on temporary pens to take the place of those burned.

It was believed a cigar stub thrown In hay started the fire.

"IN THE SPIRIT OF DIONtSItTS.'

A new book Is praised by Joseph H. Choate as "one that every American should read, because It lB not only a gem In itself and worthy to be placed among English classics for its dear ness of thought and expression, 1 ts restrained eloquence, and its broad historical knowledge, but because it explains very luddly not the occasion, but the cause (the deep-seated cause) of the present war." This book Is Professor J. A. Cramb** posthumous "Germany and England": an appeal to British patriotism and a call for Imperial' preparation. Incidentally, •^Germany and England" is an exposition of German Imperialism, from the standpoint of a scholar deeply read, not in history alone, but in German literature. Professor Cramb Is an Englishman, as the Metzseheans, historian Treitschke and military technician Bernhardt, are Prussians. To illustrate his conception of "what 'empire' has always meant to England," the author of "Germany and England" cites an dbecure incident from Greek history: "On the night besfore Alexander of Macedon started for the east on that career of conquest on which like, Achilles, his great exemplar, he was to find his glory and an early* death, he had a farewell interview with the man who had been Ms tutor, now .the master of a rising school of thought, in the shades of the Lyceum. And toward the end of the interview Aristotle said to the Macedonian: 'You are about to start upon an enterprise which will bring you into many lands and among many nations, some already celebrated In arts and arms, some savage and unknown. But this last counsel I give you: "Whithersoever your victorias lead yon, never forget that you are a Greek, and everywhere draw hard and fast the line that separates t&e Greek from the Barbarian,' 'No,' answered the youthful conqueror—he was barely two-and-twen-ty—'I will pursue another policy. I will make all men Hellenes.' "In the same manner, if I were asked how one could describe in a sentence the general aim of British Imperialism during the last two centuries and a half, I should answer In the spirit of Dlonysius: To give all men within its bounds an English mind to give all who come within its sway the power to look at the things of man's life, at the past, at fhe future, from the standpoint of an Englishman to diffuse within Its bounds that high tolerance in religion which has marked this empire from its foundation that reverence yet boldness before 1'he mysteriousness of life and death, characteristic of our great poets and our great thinkers that love of free institutions, that pursuit of an everhigher justice and a larger freedom which, rightly or wrongly, we associate with the temper of our race whereever it is dominant and secure."

If this is really the British empire, American opinion is justified in not dreading British successes In the present war of Europe versus the Teutons. There is a striking contrast between the passage we have quoted from Professor Cramb and Bernhardi's unequivocal assertion: "The end-all and be-all of a state is power."—Colliers.

GHENT A VICTOR IN COAL TRUST CASE

Stock Valued At *3,700,000 Ptoses in D&ntegration of Ohio and West Virginia Companies.

CINCINNATI, Not. T.—Stock In several eastern Ohio and West Virginia coal companies valued at $3,750,000 passed into the hands of John S. Jones, a Chicago ooal operator today as a result of an entry made by United States District Judges Warrington, Knappen and Deodson in the suit brought by the government against the New York Central and Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad companies, their subsidiary lines, and fvarlous companies controlled by them.

The case was brought by the government under th6 Sherman anti-trust law, and the federal officials declared it to be the most sweeping victory that frn* ever been accomplished under the act In legal annals the case is known as "The Eastern Ohio and West Virginia Bituminous Coal Trust case."

Attorneys for both the railroads and the government appeared before the court today with an agreement that the properties of the railroads be disintegrated and ownership dissolved. The entry was made, the price fixed at IS, T50.000, and a short time later Jones appeared in oourt and took oyer the stock.

VERMOirrS MAUTME QUARRIES. The greatest marble-producing Industry in the world is no longer to be found in the famous Carrara district of Italy, but in Vermont, where one of the richest veins in the world stretches an irregular line across the state. So great Is the production of marble in this section tnat the Inhabitants have lost much of their appreciation of its value, and nse it for such humble and utilitarian purposes as paving, underpinning for harnS, hitching posts, stepping stones, and drinking troughs for norses. This vein 1s about 57 miles long, from 1,«50 to 2,200 feet In width, and runs from 875 to 850 feet in depth, and from it is being taken in enormous quantities white marble that Is equal to the finest Italian marble as well as an endless variety of blue, yellow, green and jet-black marbles. "For quarrying and finishing the marble, the most up to date methods and equipment are used, no part «f the work being done by hand that can possibly be done by machinery," says the Popular Mechanics. "Hand methods of drilling, still in vogue in Italy, have been entirely superseded by powerdriven drills and channeling machines. The blocks, as they come from the quarry, are handled iby derricks and are conveyed in most cases by an Inclined railway or a ropeway to the mills, where they are sawed and shaped by power-driven machines, only the last, delicate stage of polishing being done by hand."

TALKS ON CHURCH WORK. Rev. O. E. Mark delivered an interesting address on the "Every Member Canvass," to large audience of members ana friends at the Grace M. E. church Friday night. In part he said: "The women have to shoulder the burden of the church in most cases, and this Should not be, for the burden of the church is a man's Job. The great trouble in the churches today is they are short of men. "The church should not only make its expenses, but should pay its debt to the community." In Instructing the teams Who will make the canvass Sunday, Rev. Mark said: "In order to make tMs financial system a success there must be an every member collection as well as an every member canvass, and In making the canvass the teams should first get the financial budget second, procure a visiting list third, find the sore spots, and fourth, find new materials for the church."
