Everybody except the “hazere themselves,” seem to have official notice that hazing at Annapolis has been stamped out. If the anti-pass order is not abrogated by the railroads, there will be a lot of walking delegates in future political conventions. Congressman Longworth is not the only person who thinks the Philippines are a magnificent collection of islands to let go of. -—« Depew may consider himself lucky that the resolution asking him to resign is to be voted by the legislature and not by the people of his state. Williamsport Review: There was considerable talk among the delegates at the Rensselaer con* vention of the possibilities of George Ade being a candidate for Congress from this district. The Washington post agrees with Mrs. Hetty Green, that there would be fewer fools if people talked less. The Post insists that Mrs. Green has the cart before the horse, there would be less talking if there were fewer fools. The mid-winter meeting of the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association will be held at India" napolis next Thursday and Friday. A banquet will be held at the Grand Hotel Thursday at 8 p. m. Business meeting Friday! Bro. J. P. Simons of the White County Democrat is assigned the subject, “The Weekly,” on the program. ~ V We notice that quite a number of towns are after the proposed new State institution, the epileptio village, and are, figuratively speaking, rending much linen in their endeavors to land the “prize.” We are glad that Rensselaer is not in the scramble to secure this sort of an “addition” to our town or county. If other towns want an institution of that kind they are welcome to it, so far as we are concerned, but not any in ours, thank you. Governor Hanley has lost out in bis first round to oust from office Secretary of State Daniel E. Storms for irregularities or dishonesty, the court holding that it did not have jurisdiction; that only the legislature bad power to impeach Storms. An appeal will be taken to the supreme court, it is said, although there are rumors that the Governor will call a special session of the legislature to remove the offending officer.

BID A MAN IS ON TRIAL

Impeachment Process Against Terre Haute's Mayor Is Under Way. HOW HE FOUGHT REFORMERS Believed in a ••Liberal" Policy—Mrs. Roosevelt Interested in a L Child Hunt—ltems* Terre Haute, lnd., Jan. 25. The impeachment trial of Mayor EdwinJ J. Bidaman, which began Tuesday before nine city eounellmen. is likely to take tea days The prosecution says it has many witnesses, only three of whom were heard Tuesday. Ciller of Police Lints. ex-Chief Feller, and 4*p> tain Ivotsch testified In regard to Ott lax enforcement of the saloou lake which is the principal charge against the mayor. Bldatnan a Great Remover. Lints was removed by one board of safety because lie did not enforce the law, for which net of removal the mayor removed the board, and when he demanded of the new board that Lints lie reinstated, he removed that board for refusing to do so. and appointed a complaint board, since when the saloons have* been permitted to remain open. Lints at first denied knowledge of a violation of law, but later admitted that it was permitted unless saloonkeepers got too “rough.” No Effort, to Ens. roe the Laws. The chief points brought out yesterday at the trial were that no effort; had been made to enforce the laws until murders in saloons and gambling houses and the defalcation of a bank cashier, partly due to gambling, had aroused the people and compelled the police authorities to take action. Several police officers and patrolmen were examined, and their evidence went to show that, though conditions were at their worst under Mayor Steeg’s administration, Mayor Bidaman had been lax In enforcing the laws. Lawyers Have Their “Tltlts.” John 8. Duncan, an Indianapolis lawyer, conducts the examination for the Manufacturers' club, which caused the Impeachment proceedings, and at times ho and S. I\. Duvall, the mayor’s lawyer, hove tilts over the admissibility of evidence. The defense virtually admits the charge that the mayor wanted a "liberal policy.”

EIGHTEEN KILLED IN CHURCH PANIC

Cry of "Fire” Causes Negro Congregation at Philadelphia to Rush to Exit. Philadelphia, Jan. 23. —A wild panic following a loud shriek of “fire” brought death to eighteen colored persons and Injuries to nearly two score of others in St. Paul’s Baptist church, on the west side of Eighth street between Poplar street and Girard avenue. The terrible rush to gain the street was of brief duration, and that more were not killed iii the stampede was probably due to the fact that the church was not crowded. At the time the disaster occurred not more than 300 persons were on the second floor of the building, which, with the gallery, was capable of accommodating tiOO to 700. The fire was a trifling one and was extinguished before the firemen arrived. The smell of smoke added to the panic and despite the heroic work of the Rev. E. W. Johnson, the pastor of the church, who tried in vain to allay the fears of the frightened worshipers, the terror-stricken people made a desperate rush to leave the church, only to be choken up on the narrow stairway. Those in the rear leaped over the prostrate forms of those who fell, and when the rush was over eighteen lay dead on the first floor and stairs of the building.

SEAS BREAK UP THE VALENCIA

Last Remnants of the 11lFated Steamer Have Disappeared. ALL ON BOARD AT TIME PERISH Thirty-Three of the Passengers and Crew Are Saved from Death. Eighteen Men on a Lite Raft Are Rescued with Difficulty by the Steamer City or Topeka. Victoria, B. C., Jan. 25.—0 f the 154 people on board the steamer Valencia when she struck near Klanaway Rock, five miles from Cape Beale, and met disaster, but thirty-three were saved. Seven passengers and eight members of the crew were able to reach Cape Beale Shortly after the Valencia went on the rocks, and a life raft with eighteen survivors, all men, has been picked up by the rescue steamer City of Topeka. The dead number 121, the greatest loss of life In the north Pacific since the "Pacific” was lost In 1875. The Valencia, in whose rigging about thirty people were clinging, frantically waving for assistance, which could not be given, when the steamer Queen left the scene, broke up about 5 o’clock a. in., sweeping to death those few who had survived these terrible hours of privation, chilled and numb to the limit of human endurance by clouds of spray which swept over them. Survivors Almost Dead. The condition of the eighteen survivors rescued by the City of Topeka was pitiable. They were naif frozen and practically unconscious from the exposure. The raft was sighted about 12 o’clock, but owing to the thick weather it was supposed to be nothing but a log. At last by the aid of a powerful glass Its true nature was determined. A terrible sea was running. One minute the rait was poised on top of a wave and the next it would be lost from view in the gully formed by the mountainous breakers. . The eighteen men together on their frail support battled bravely with a pair of oars to reach the City of Topeka, which, owing to the dangerous coast could uot fun in any closer to them. Within half a mile from the raft a boat was lowered from the Topeka Jn charge of Second Mate Burke, who with much difficulty ‘succeeded In making fast a line to the raft.

Search for Another Raft. The work of rescuing them was dangerous. The men were too exhausted to even tie a rope about themselves. The survivors told terrible tales of the wreck of the vessel. When they left the ship there were about ninety people on board, most of thorn clinging to the rigging. Men. women, and children were being swept overboard by every sea. As soon as the men got aboard the Topeka Dr. B. F. Whiting, assisted by two nurses and members of the crew, hastily administered stimulants and put them to bed. After picking up the raft the stenrner went In search of another raft, which the rescued men said hnd left the ship earlier in the day. The vessel ran fully twenty miles on either side, looking for the raft, but no sign of it was to be seen, it is the general Impression that the raft foundered.

Washes Her Change.

Mrs. Robinson was chinking some coins around in a basin of water. “What under the canopy of heaven are you doing?” inquired her husband. She looked a little sheepish and murmured, “Washing the fish money.” He looked at her stupidly. “Well, it's this way,” she said defiantly, “I can’t' bear to use the money which the fish man gives me in change. It always smells of the finny tribe, and it’s not imagination either. So I Just take a scrubbing brush and a little sapolio and clean It. And, to tell the truth, I often wash the money I get in change in the trolley cars and in the shops. Some of it is so grimy and greasy that I hate to touch it until it goes under the scrubbing brush.” “Goodness," ejaculated her husband, “such a waste of time! Why, you’re really only scrubbing it up for other people, for It goes right out of your hands again.” “That’s Just what it does not do,” said the woman. “It makes me economical. The money looks so bright and attractive I don’t like to spend it and get dirty coins back. So I don’t fritter away half .the money that I * used to before I did the washing act” A Potato Hlat. When potatoes are to be baked, if they ate thoroughly heated on top of the stove, turning them once, they will bake in half the usual time. Hobaoa’a Choice. Blacken one end of a stick.
