The Ligonier - Banner LIGONIER, . : INDIANA. SPIRIT OF ROMANCE. To the spirit of chivalry and love of adventure that characterized the wonderful days of long ago the averege writer turns for his romantic tales of love and war, but it seems somehow as though enough of romance can be found in the world at every period of its existence, even in its present most practical and, perhaps, f's most unpoetical stage, to make volumes of absorbing interest, but the mystery of the past. appeals to.the ordinary mind with more persistence ‘than the wonders of the: present; perhaps, because the intervening periods of time have endowed the occurrences of other days with something of the cbax@e of thelr own uncertainty. The influence of poetry, of music, of art, . of the drama,. of literature, helps to mold a world of loveliness, and con»i tributes in no small way to the happineds of living, says the Charleston - News and Courler. Into each protes—‘ sion scme of the spirit of romance‘ has crept, much of which has been handed down from generation to gen- ’ eration as a priceless heritage. Th’e, artistic temperament best understands | the making of those rose-sweet ro-‘l mances which breathe their fragrance l} far and wide and make the world a | beiter place in which to live, but even | those of us who are not blessed with | poetic natures cannot, indeed must' not, fail to trace along our daily | paths the romance of the world itselti with all its throbbing beauty—a ro- | mance of life and color, of effort and | echievement, and above all of joy and ' happiness, = |

Sometimes the question is asked, “What becomes of all the gold?” - It is a well-known fact that the total of the precious metal mined is not fully eccqunted for by the amount of gold coins in use or the quantity of gold employéd in the arts. A good deal of ft “gets away”. in some -fashion and hides. from fhe sight of the statisticians. and ti.f;h\e economists. Perhaps e little light may be thrown on the mystery by the experience of a woman in South: Bend, Ind., who while digging .in her flower garden -found $1,140 in gold pieces. It -ds believed the money was buried by the woman's z‘fnhér, who died some years ago. ilow much ‘more has been disposed of in iike fashion of stored away in miger's hoards and in secret places by those who wish to keep the coin egainst a time of need?

~ The remarkable instance of a cure of tetanus after the jaws were locked, effected in Milwaukee not long ago, has been paralleled in New York, the patient being a seven-year-old boy. He laceratell his right hand and left knee, which were cauterized by a physician. Ten days lafer, however, he became violently ill, ' showing symptomé of tetanus, and being removed to a hospital, where for four days his jaws were locked and for eight days he was subiect to frequent spasms.- At the first injection of the improved serum from the New York board of health 5,000 wmits were used. After 30,000 units had been administered the lad

ghowed improvement and ,f:radually grew better, until a week dgo. he was cischarged from the hospital completely cured. E . Cne of the precious things that eseaped destruction in. the fire that v*rzt"gizt such havoc .at the Brussels exhibition was the priceless collection of lace loaned by the former queen of I'aly. As all the world interested in lnce-making is aware, Queen Dowager Margherita has refvived the lace industry in Ifaly, and her endowed lace factory at Venice is visited by many travclers. Brussels as well as Venice in old times was famous for its lace, and ro doubt the Belgians inspected the Italian collection like connoisseurs.

UNEARTH BIG PLOT

NOCUMENTS ARE FOUND REVEAL.ING CONSPIRACY TO KILL MEXICAN OFFICIALS.:

REVOLT AGAINST DIAZ GROWS

Many Killed in Batties as Numerous Villages Fall Into Hands of 'Revolutionists—Government’s Btrength Put to Severe Test. '

Mexico City.—A plot to assassinate prominent government officials including Foreign Minister Creel, Vice-Pres-ident Corral, Sub-Secretary Macedo and other prominent Mexicans, among them Editor Spindola, owner of El Imparcial, was revealed by the discovery of certain documents in the home of a revolutionist in this city.

President Diaz was to be taken but his life spared because of his past services to the country. : The bodies of those killed were to be suspended from electric light wires in the streets. The building of El Imparcial was to have been destroyed with dynamite. The papers exposing the conspiracy were discovered during a raid by the police. Three employes of El Imparcial had been furnished with the explosive and were instructed to use it at the first report of. the uprising, which was planned for last Sunday. The seizure of the plans on the day upon which they were to be executed is thought to have had a great effect in‘heading off the rebellion. Important gains for the revolutionists and severe fighting in which many were killed 'or wounded attended the rapid spread of the uprising which now has assumed an aspect so serious as 'to test to the utmost the strength of the government of President Diaz. The insurgents Tuesday captured sever?l towns in Chihuahua and now control a large territory in that state. There has been severe fighting at Acombaro and Parral, and the latter city is reported to be in the hands of the insurgents. ’ The revolutionists have captured the three chief towns in the rich Nazas river ' valley—Gomez Palacio, lerdo and Torreon. o

- The death tool is reported heavy at Torreon, where 1,000 revolutionists, armed with' modern long-range guns,

swept the city with a terrific fire for several hours. The garrison of federal troops at Torreon surrendered, it Is reported, only after their numbers had been depleted by more than onehalf in dead and injured. ' ‘

It is said here that Francisco J. Madero, the revolutionary leader, has entered Mexico with 600 followers and is now near his home town of Coahuila. 5

CRIPPEN DIES ON GALLOWS

American Dentist Goes to His Death in London Prison Yard for 5 i Killing Wife.

London.—Doctor Hawley H. Crippen was hanged at 8:20 a. m. Wednesday for the murder of his wife, Belle Elmore Crippen. The execution took place in the court yard of the Pentonville prison. The official hangman of England pulled the trap that sent Crippen into eternity. The prisoner, to all sutward appearances, seemed resigned to his fate and walked bravely to his doom. Eighteen minutes after the trap fell the ‘jury of four physicians pronounced him dead. His neck had been broken. The death march started from his cell at 8:15 a. m. and proceeded through the prison corridors to the gallow, which had been erected. As Crippen was led upon the scaffold, the’ hangman's aids “removed the prigconer’s collar. Before the noose was adjusted the chaplain of the prison administered the last rites of the church, at the conclusion of which the attendants adjusted the black cap and dropped the noose over the prisoner’s head. i

An immense crowd gathered outside the prison courtyard early and eagerly awaited the news of Crippen’s death. The news of his execution was received without demonstration.

SAYS REW RATES NOT NEEDED

EASTERN SHIPPERS PRESENT THEIR SIDE OF CONTROVERSY.

Brandeis Declares Roads Can Add teo Their Income by Scientific Management.

Washington. — The shippers had their innings in th e contest before the interstate commerce commission over the suspended proposed increases in freight rates on the eastern lines. Their contention is that the advances are not justified, and that the real solution of the problem lies in the introduction of scientific principles in management. Louis Brandeis, counsel for the traffic committee of the commercial organization of the Atlantic Seaboard, opened for the shippers by asserting that the proposed increase were neither reasonable nor just. He declared that if the railroads need additionai net income it should be secured through greater efficiéncy and economy of operation instead of resorting to the dangerous expedient of raising freight rates. In instances where such need may appear it resulted, he siid, not because rates are too low, but that the management has by reckless expansion, waste and inefficiency impaired the financial condition of the roads.

Mr. Brandeis concluded by saying that burdens so arising should be borne by the stockholders and not by the shippers and consumers through increases in freight rates.

COMMONS RAIDED BY WOMEN

Militant - Suffragettes Storm British

Parlilament and 116 Are Arrested © After Lively Fight.

'~ London.—One hundred and sixteen of the 1,000 militant suffragettes who marched on the parliament building were arrested after a lively fight with the police. : Led by Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, the women made a determined attempt to force the police. -<cordon about the house of commons and, reaching Premier Asquith, to insist upon the introduction of a woman's suffrage bill. L . The women made every effort within their power to break the lines, bringing into play some rare military strategy and football tactics. Fighters in the front ranks retired many times to make way for fresh reserves, but the police were too strongly intrenched. Orders had been given the officers to make as few arrests as possible, but it soon became necessary to jail as many of the women as could be captured. After Parliament Square had been cleared the three leaders of the demonstration, led by Mrs. Paankhurst, were permitted to enter the lobby of the house of commwons, where they were met by Mr. Asquith’s secretary and informed that the premier would not see them and said that there was no chance for a suffrage bill at the present session.

CREWS OF FOUR WARSHIPS MUTINY AND KILL THEIR : OFFICERS. ' REBEL SHIPS FIRE. ON CITY Officially Stated Révolt in Brazil Is Due to Attempt of Navy Crews to Secure Better Conditions. L Washington.—J. -B. Slechte, the American consul at Rio Janeiro, cabled the state department Thursday that all the seamen in the Brazilian aavy had revolted and controlled all the vessels in- Rio harbor. The Brazilian embassy received a cable message from the Brazilian foreign office which stated that in the opinion of the government the mutiny of the sailors on the ships of war was due entirely to personal grievances and therefore had no political aspect. The dispatch says the vessels in mutiny are the battleships Minas Geraes and Sao Paulo,” the scout cruiser Bahia and the protected cruiser Floriano.

All of the officers on the ships in mutiny were killed. Captain Neves, one of the victims, was on the Minas Geraes. He was not long ago in Washington as one of the delegates to attend the body of the late ambassador to Brazil. He was in line for early promotion. Rio Janeiro, Brazil.—Congress was summoned into special session to deal with the tense situation rising from the mutiny on board two Brazilian warships. The two vessels in charge of the mutinous crews are anchored outside the bar awaiting action by the government. . . Additional details of the outbreak have been learned, though the censorship is strict. The men of two of the bigger warships turned on their superiors and in the fierce fight that ensued several officers were Kkilled. The captain of the battleship Minas Gerner is reported among the dead. The guns were turned on the loyal ships and shells were turned into the city. When the fighting ceased the mutineers had gained complete control of the ships.

It is officially stated that the revolt is not against the administration of President Fonseca, but the last resort of the sailors in their atfempt to secure better service conditions. They have demanded more pay and the abolition of corporal punishment. It is believed that if the mutineers are granted amnesty and the changes they demand the trouble will end. If adverse action is taken by congress the subsequent attitude of the men is doubtful. 5

PETER’S 4 DENIAL Sunday School Lesson for Dec. 4, 1910 Specially Arranged for This Paper

LESSON TEXT-—Matthew 26:31-35, 69-75. Memory verses, 74-75. . GOLDEN TEXT—“Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.”— 1 Cor. 10:12. TIME—The denials were early Friday morning, April 7, A, D. 30. PLACE—In the court of the Palace of the High Priest Caiaphas, in the southwest part of Jerusalem. The first thing Jesus did for Peter was to set before him in his first interview the goal and ideal of his life. He was to be changed from the Simon we have just been viewing into Peter the Rock. His incohesive qualities were to be unified into one beautiful whole; the separate and sometimes discordant notes of his character were to be formed into the exquisite harmonies of a Hallelujah chorus. He was like the soft stone in some quarries, easily cut and shaped when first taken from the quarry, but sooiß hardening into rock. Peter expresses the possibilities Jesus saw in the nature of Simon, an “ideal which God would make divinely real.”” . - For three years Peter was an earnest pupil in Christ’s school. He made many mistakes; he fought many battles on the battlefield of his heart; he had some severe reproofs, but he had a wise, encouraging, patient teacher. After a time he was advanced to the highest grade with James and John. “The first essential for success is a soul,” an awakened soul. One of the most interer—.ting‘studieg for a teacher, is to go carefully through the Gospels, and study Christ’s method of teaching and training such an unruly but earnest scholar as Peter was. ,

“Thou shalt deny me thrice, disown me as your Lord and Master.” Peter was sure that he would not fail in the hour of temptation. No one knows what he will do in unexpected circumstances. But Jesus did all he could to put Peter on his guard. ‘ An interval of some hours. Gethsemane; Peter, wearied, sleeps on guard. The arrest; Peter and all the apostles desert Jesus. But Peter and John follow afar off. The trial before the Sandhedrin in some room of Caiapbhas’ palace, opening into a court. Peter was sitting with the servants and others around a fire and he denied Christ before them all, who were gathered around the fire.

The main charge was prominently made by one, a kinsman of Malchus, who had seen Peter in the garden and was known to St. John from his acquaintance with the ~high priest’s household. For thy speech betrayeth thee, “betrayeth,” shows that thou art a Galilean, and therefore one of - his disciples, or why else art thou here? Then began he to curse, call down curses on himself if he did not speak the truth. And to swear, to call God to witness that it was true. It is more than probable that Peter, in'his earlier life as a fisherman, before-his conversion, had been in the habit of using profane language, and now, in the sudden surprise of temptation, the old habit broke forth anew, as the language of youth, long unused, is almost certain to be employed in times of great excitement. It is a long and hard discipline that entirely conquers the sins or youth. “I know not!the man.” And this in the very presence of Jesus. “The ways down which the bad ship Wickedness slides to a shoreless ocean must be greased with lies.” “A lie is put out to interest, and the interest is compound.” ; : It was now that Peter was “sifted as wheat.” Part of what he thought was wheat was really chaff, and this verrible sifting under temptation blew away in the roughest manner most of the chaff,—his inconstancy, his fiery temper, his self-confidence, but preserved all the good in his character, purified ahd perfected. We can be good in ‘spite of falls. God can bring good -out of evil. That in his glory, and our hope. But he can do far more with our victories than by our failures.

Then Jesus looked upon Peter. The ‘Greek word for “looked” occurs but in one other place in the Gospels. It means that “he looked into him,” into his very heart, “with eyes that went like lightniug to the quick of his conscience.” Peter remembered the warning, and went out and wept the bitterest tears of repentance. From this time ‘on Peter was a new man. The charcoal had become diamond. He describes the effect in his first Epistle (1:7).. “That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that persisteth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:” Peter rejoiced when he could express his love to Jesus by suffering'in his cause. He wrote a letter which has been a comfort and a power all down the ages. His victory—not his fall—in the great crisis gave him power over men to the end. ;

“In the pain and the repentance, and in the acquaintance with the aspects of folly and sin,” says Ruskin, “you. have learned something; _how much less than you would have learn ed in right paths can never be told, but that it is less is certain. Your liberty of choice has simply destroyed you go much of life and strength never regainable. It is true you know the habits of swine, now, and the taste for husks. Do you think that your Heavenly Father would not have taught you to know better habits and pleasanter t?stes if you had stayeéd in his house.

Timeliness.

All measures of reformation are effective in exdct proportion to their timeliness; partial decay may be cut away and cleansed; incipient error corrected; but thére is a point at which corruption can no more be stayed, nor wandering recalled. It has been the manner of modern philanthropy to remain passive until that precise period, and to leave the sick to perish, and the foolish to stray, while it spent itself in frantic exertlons to raise the dead, and reform the dust.—Ruskin. 3

Referring to a verdict recently given by a coroner’s jury that death was “caused by the medical evidence,” the DBritish Medical Journal says:. “This verdict may be added to those cited 1. the report of the select committee on death certification, where Doctor Ogle is quoted as saying, ‘One verdict came before me a little time ago which was this: “A man died from stone in the “idney, which stone he swallowed when lying on a gravel path in a state of drunkenness.” That was given as a verdict. I thought some joke had been played, and I wrote down about it, and found it was an absolute fact. . Another one is like this: “Child three months old, found dead, but no evidence whether born clive,”’” These novel judgments recall that an up-state newspaper not long ago spoke of taking a murdered man’s ‘“post-mortem” statement.

Talk about making good with your friends, a New Orleans man told everybody he knew that he was going to Philadelphia for the dual purpose of seeing the world’s baseball series and having a slight surgical operation performed. Reaching this city, he consulted a specialist, and was told that an operation was not necessary. “But, doctor,” the New Orleans party urgently interposed, “it must be done.” _

“Why must it?” wonderingly queried the surgeon. “Because,” was the startling rejoinder of the Southern man, “I told all the boys at home that I was going to have an operation performed, and if T don’t make good they will kid the life out of me.”—Philadelphia Telegraph.

Note From the Basswood Bugle

Somebody took the rope off the bell in the fire engine house to use for-a clothesline, and now, when there is a fire, the constable has to climb wup into the tower and ring the bell with a. hammer. Somebody took the hammer the other day and, when Hank Purdy’s corncrib ketched fire, the constable had to hurry down to Hilliker’s store for to borry a hammer. Hilliker had lent his hammer to Deacon Renfrew, who lives four miles out in the country, and by the time the constable had got there and hunted around in the barn for the hammer and got back to the engine house, the angry. elements had done their worst and Hank’s corncrib was a mass of smoldering ruins.—Judge’s Library.
