Possibilities of Peace. There is miuh good common sense in the words which were spoken by Secretary Root at the peace meeting in New York and in the suggestions contained in the letter from President Roosevelt read before the same assembly. The subject of "peace" is. one which readily lends itself to oratory. White winged doves and the change of spears in'o pruning hooks are always attractive. It is easy enough for impassioned speakers in i a meeting of earnest and enthusiastic souls to be carried away by impractical sentiment. It is bv no means so inspiring to undertake a calm consideration of the possibilities of making some definite progress toward a far away state of society for whose actual realization the world will continue to hope. The. practical problem is net what ought to be done, but what can be accomplished. That is the thought brought home to the convention by president and secretary. Progress has been made in recent years along definite lines. There are other forward steps which may be taken. Too much must not be expected. To seek the practical and work toward its realization is far more to be preferred than idle dreaming about the millennium. The advice is sound. It is tjiven in plain words. Its value lies in its quiet common sense. The presidents sentence is full ol meaning: "The peoples of the world have advanced unequally along the roads that Jeads to justice and fair dealing one with another, exactly as there has been unequal progres in securing such justice by each within its own borders .and the road stretches far ahead of even the most advanced." The secretary of state is equally sound fn his statement: "The path to universal peace is not through reason or intellectual appreciation, but through the 'development of peace loving and peace keeping character among men, and that this development, slow though it may be; as measured by our short lives, i proceeding with steady- and unremitting advance from generation to generation no student of history can question." There is good to be gained from every meeting,' where the problems of peace are considered. There is much to be hoped for from arbitration. Commercial treaties. have their influence. Mutual acquaintance will be effective. The "here a little, there a little" theory is the real one to be advocated. Peace will be the result of slow gains made from time to time as conditions make them practicable. Chicago Tribune. A Useful Life. James H. Eckels was a man of fine talen.s, great industry and lovable character. As controller of the cur rency he successfully discharged the onerous duties resting upon him in the financial crisis of 1893. Of the 1G5 national banks that failed then, he reopened 115. As president of the Commercial National Bank of Chicago he increased its deposits from $10,000,000 in 1898 to $42,000,000 in 1907. A monument to his memory will be the new bank building, prac tically completed, at a cost of $3,730,000. His death was in some respects pathetic,' almost tragic. While he lay dead in his room Sunday morning, servants were busying themselves about the house, preparing a break fast for several of his friends, who were evert then getting ready for the occasion and arrived only to be shocked at the dread news. His dearly loved wife and only child were away in France, whither he was pre paring to go and join them. One of. his last acts Saturday night was to write them a letter. His last act was to read his Bible as he did every night. They found it open by his bed side when they came to call him. He was a religious man, and consistent On his last visit to Ottawa, his home town, he spoke by request of his old friends from the pulpit of the Presby terian church Sunday night One of the many projects interrupted by his death was the rebuilding of the Ot tawa church, a project on which an architect was working at his expense He was a constant and1 unobstrusive dispenser of charity and an active supporter of the Y. M. C. A. and sim ilar agencies, of good. Indianapolis Star. Seems Heriditary. Special to Chicago Tribune. Winamac, Ind., April 13. Charles W. Riddick, secretary of the Republican state committee and editor of the Winamac Republican, today was charged with false swearing in an affidavit of mortgage exemption to evade paying taxes on his home proper. ' , I Mr. Riddick has a brother-in-law in Plymouth named Samuel E. Boys, who was recently indicted by the Marshall county grand jury for grafting. He Will Investigate. Michigan City News: Assistant Secretary Edwards, of the treasury department, who finally selects the sites for federal buildings, says he is not going to make a selection at Michigan City until he knows just what he is about. He wants to know the sand runs in that city and what kind of hard pan he can get for a good foundation. The appropriation for a sit and building at Michigan City amounts to $70,000. About 20 per cent of this amount will be spent for the site.

Leveled Towns Dot Mexico. City of Mexico, April 16. Reports

tonight from various points along the west coast show that the devastation wrought by the earthquake shocks, which continued until 4 o'clock this morning, has been much greater than at first supposed. Besides the destruction of the cities of Chilpancingo and Chüapa, it is now reported that the city of Tixtla, between Ihe two cities above named and containing about the same popu lation as Chilpancingo, 8,000, was also leveled to the ground, and messengers from the coast who have reached Chilpancingo say that the towns of Ayutla and Ometepec have been wiped off the map. Ayutla is about fifty miles south of Chilpancingo in the state of Guerrero and some twenty miles west of the port of Acapulco. It is one of the most historic towns in the republic, for it was here that the "plan of Ayutla" was conceived which caused the revolution which finally made Mexico a real republic. The population of Ayutla is small and it is thought that the loss of life at this place will be insignificant. Ometepec is farther south near the boundary line of the states of Guerrero and Oaxaca. It is a town of about 4,000 inhabitants and it is hared that the loss of life here may b heavier than at Ayutla. Tlapi ,a town eighty miles west of Chilpc-ncingo and near the border) line of the state of Oaxaca, is also re ported to have been wiped out. The report from Chilpancingo says that the vl:ole of the west coast from Accapulco, south to Salina Cruz, the Pa cific terminal of the Tehuantepec -Na tional railway, Mexico's new transcontinental road, which was opened with elaborate ceremonies last Janu ary by President Diaz, has been badly damaged. It is reported that Acapulco is part ly submerged from the great waves which dashed over the breakwaters Although no breath of wind was stirring on the night of the first shock when the earth began to tremble the sea was lashed into a fury, and as the shocks continued the harbor took on the appearance of a tyhoon swept ocean. Just how much of the port has been submerged is not known. A number of the ships were in tht harbor when the first shock came. but these put out to sea and it is said none of them suffered to any extent Up to 4 o'clock this morning the shocks continued with more or les severity in the vicinity of Chilpancingo, completing the work of de struction and destroying many of the most important public buildings of the city. The new municipal palace, which was erected in place of its predecessor, which was leveled by an earthquake four years ago, was al most destroyed by, these last shocks. The hospitals, schools, ami the jail are in ruins, ihe prisoners trom tne jail were placed under guard by the rurales and are now incarcerated in ay barracks building which is yet standing. The sick were removed from the hospital in safety and are now being cared for in a temporary structure erected out in the open country. Death of Mrs. Wiltshire. Dessie, wife of P. B. Wiltshire, the telegraph operator at Groverto.vn, died Monday afternoon, after an illness of several months of consump tion. She lacked a few weeks of being tWenty years of age at the tnoc of her death. Deceased was a daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Uncapher of Grovertown and was a young laoy esteemed by all who knew her. Site had many friends and relatives !n Plymouth, and she is the fourth member of her family that has died within fifteen months. Funeral scr vices were held Wednesday after noon. 1 Among those in attendance from this city were Mr. and Mrs Paul Butcher, Mrs. Hiram Ream, Mrs. II. B. Allen and Miss Edith Wyland, Mrs. Mary A. Taylor and daughter, Elsie, Mrs. Edward Jolley and Miss Espich. Gamblers Trick Officers. Hamond, Ind., April 16. A clever ruse, worked by the attorneys of the Smith-Perry-White poolroom syndi cate, gave the gamblers an opportun ity to take care of their property at Dearborn Park before the prospect ive raid of today. Attorney General Bingham nd Chief Fred Rimbach were- clearly outwitted by the gamb lers, who circulated the report that a restraining order against the State officials, who have declared war on the poolroom, had been issued. Later the gamblers capitulated and will quit Indiana soil. An application for a restraining order against the State officials and the local police was filed in the Cir cuit Court today and the application was read to Bingham, Rimbach and the latters two men, who were at Clark Station, by Deputy Sheriff James Trost. The ruse worked for the day and operations were resumed at Deaborn Park by the syndicate. Later in the day when the ruse was discovered Chief Rimbach dispatched his men to Clark Station again to take possession. Judge H. B. Tuhil wired from Michigan City that he issued no restraining order. Attorney W. J. McAleer and J. A. Gavitt are representing the syndicate. It is thought that the ruse was being used in order to give the pool room owners time to take care of their property instead of letting the police confiscate it The application for the restraining order was made by Ernest Flechsig, wha was in charge of the buffet at the oolroom. Put No Trust in Banks. Kokomo, Ind., April 16. Alonzo Picket, who did not believe in banks buried $1300 in gold in a field on his farm. Yesterday he went to dig it up and fountf it gone. The gold .ras in a gas pipe buried deep, but neither pipe nor money was to be found. It probably was taken by some one who chanced to see him hide it.

DIED OF STARVATION.

Aged Man Lives Weeks Without Sleep or Substantial Food. Practically starved to death in the midst of the plenty of a big city, Alen F. Martin, CO years of age, drop ped dead Monday afternoon in front of 500 Clybourn avenue, Chicago. A etter to his brother, Warren Martin, who is believed to be in Waukesha, Wis., revealed a sad story. "Just think of it, brother, sixteen nights without taking your shoes off and resting your tired and weary bones," he says in one place. And in another, "Since the 16th of March I have not had a substantial meal." Martin's body was taken to the un dertaking rooms at 175 Southport avenue. A search of his clothing revealed nothing but the pathetic letter to his brother, which he had apparently not been able to mail for lack of 2 cents to buy a stamp. The letter was as follows: "Dear Brother Warren: I am in poor shape to write. I will try, as 1 well know you are getting anxious to hear from me. Oh, what a life we both lead! Just of our own fault. Carlton got so sore at me that he told Anderson not to let me sit up in a chair and to not give me a room for less than 50 cents a week, so I had to pull out and for four nights after the saloons closed at 1 o'clock n the morning I was forced to walk until some place was opened. Theh 1 came over to the west side, thinking I might meet some one of the old travelers who would give me a bed. But I guess not, though. - It was cold and I went to the War ren avenue police station ami asked for a place to lay down soas to get off the street. After some red tape they gave me a chair and told me to go down in the engine room. And I did so. Since, that time I have been sitting up in the Western avenue de pot. It has been a good place to keep warm and off the vicious streets. I tried to find comfort in sleep, but no sleep for me. Just think, brother, sixteen nights without taking youi shoes off and resting your tired and weary bones. O God, how can I stand it! Since the 16th of March I have not had a substantial meal. All I have had is cheap lunch from sa loon bars. One gets so tired of this kind of a life that is, an existence and you have to change from saloon to saloon so they won't think you are a bum and chase you out. And you neveget a pleasant look at the places where you have spent piles of money years ago. Such is Ife. Brother my clothes are gone and I have no others to wear. I got the promise of a job before I went to St. Charles for my clothes. I am not able to do heavy work. There is no show for one of your age. They all want young men and first-class reference. All our old friends that used to live here have moved to Gale wood.' Allen F. Martin. State; Health Report. The Monthly Bulletin of the State Board of Health just issued, for March says: More sickness and more deaths are to be recorded for March 1907, than for March 1906. For death? the actual figures are, respectively. 3502 and 3230. Measles have prevailed in 82 out of the 92 counties. In some counties, the disease has been extra prevalent, and for the whole state, it has been unusually fatal. 15 deaths from measles are reported. A few schools have been closed on account of this disease. However, influenza was more prevalent than measles. 204 deaths from this cause are reported this month while only 46 were reported in the corresponding month last year. The order of prevalence of certain diseases was as follows: Influenza, tonsilitis, rheumatism, measles, pneumonia, bronchitis, diphtheria and croup, scarlet fever, pleuritis, intermittent and remittent fever, typhoid fever, diarrhoea, smallpox, whooping-cough, inflammation of the bowels, eryspelas, dysentery, typho-malaria fever, cerebro spinal meningitis, puerperal fever, cholera morbus, cholera infantum. ' Penumonra was reported from every county and the deaths reported numbered 575, as against 469 in March last year. By the same comparison there is an increase of 6 deaths by cancer, and 54 by violence. There also appears an increase in deaths from consumption, typhoid fever and diphtheria. Tuberculosis killed 431, of which number 190 were male and 241 fe males. Of the males,, 33 were married in the age period of 18-40, leaving 66 orphans under 12 years of age Of the females 86 were in the same age period, leaving 174 orphans under 12 years of age. The disease, therefore, made in this one month, 242 orphans under 12 years of age and invaded 392 home 276 cases of t nallpox were reported from 20 counties with no deaths In the corresponding month last year 97 cases reported from 11 counties, with no deaths. There is also an in crease to be noted in connection with smallpox, and it may be here men tioned that doctors are still finding difficulty in differentiating between smallpox and eruptions due to indi gestion. 210 cases of typhoid fever were reported with 40 deaths from 22 counties. In the corresponding month last year 211 cases from 62 counties with 34 deaths. Manchuria Is Again China's. Dispatches received from St. Pet ersburg, Tokio and Pekit show that the evacuation of Manchuria by the Russians and Japanese as agreed o under the Portsmouth treaty by China, has been accomplished under the terms of the agreement between Russia and Japan fixing April 15, as the limit of time for the actual trans fer. ' All military movements have ceas ed ard the Manchurian towns which were under Russian and Japanese control have ben r turned to the Chi nese authorities.

INFANT FOUND DEAD. Body of Male Child Found (Near Railroad Sunday Morning. Sunday morning, Frank Burkett, who resides in what is known as the Dennie .O'Brien housed just west ot where South street crosses the Vandalia railroad, saw in the snow back of his barn near the railroad, an object that attracted his attention and on investigation found that it was the body of a male child, entirely naked evidently having been thrown there soon after the child was born. The authorities were notified and investigation by physicians made it certain that the infant was born alive. How long it had lain there cannot be accurately told, but it was evidently placed there before the snow fell Sat urday night. The body was covered with snow and no tracks could le seen. Marshal Jacoby, who has been in vestigating the matter, thinks it was left there about 7:30 Friday evening. He ays a woman was seen at that time near the place where the body was found. Coroner Kizer came up from Tip pecanoe Sunday afternoon, but returned home Sunday night and will make further investigation Tuesday or Wednesday. Marshal Jacoby thinks he has a clew to the identity of the mother, but is not certain and very little can be said until the coroner finishes his investigation and gives his verdict. The storm of Friday night and Sat urday and Saturday night was severe and it would not have been strange if the body had lain where it was piuced, several days before being found. This State is Fortunate. The State of Indiana is very fortunate in having in its employ a deputy secretary of state like Mr. Frank I. Grubbs, who, being a practical printer and proof-reader, also possess that peculiar ability and staying quality which enables him to work sixteen to eighteen hours a day indexing and superintending the publishing of the acts of 1907, completing the work with greater dispatch than has ever been done before. And the state is equally fortunate in having a public printer that has a printing plant of sufficient capacity and facility to do the printing and binding within a period of less than thirtv days. Many of the states do not get their session laws published until July or August, which if such were the case in Indiana this year the citizens of the state would be corncompelled to pay in railroad fare several hundred thousand dollars more, being the dfference between a twocnt rate and t:at heretofore paid. There are few states that get as good service as is given Indiana by its contractor for public printing, and he deserves the commendatioin of the people of the state for the unusual promptness in the publishing of the laws by which they were pii in force at an earlier day than ever before, thus enabling Indiana, in the matter of public printing, to occupy the front rank, which position she holds in so many other departments of public service. Indianapolis Independent. J Choose Their Own Doctor. It is probable that some day or other legislatures will stop enacting medical practice laws and allow people to choose their own doctors, whether they are graduates of certain colleges or not. There is an evident tendency in that direction in the Illinois legislature, where it is proposed to exempt mental healers from the control of the state board of health. The inclination is obviously to allow greater freedom to practicioners outside of the existing close corporation, and perhaps it is just as well that the inclination grows. Chicago Chronicle. Preachers and Salaries. Rev. H. N. Herrick, who is to retire a: presiding elder of the Wabash District, made an address before the North Indiana Conference at Logansport in which he predicted a famine in preachers unless there was a general rise in the salaries, declaring that pastors salaries should be boosted in proportion to the general increase in wages and the cost of living. However, on Friday morning thirteen new ministers were admitted to the conference.

Lena Myers. Her subject was "Courage for the Duties of Life. The judges wete M. W. Deputy of Tfie judges were, M.-W. Deputy of Columbia City, County Superintendent Ferrell of Valparaiso, and A. A. Hughart, Superintendent of Schools, Valparaiso. The first prize a gold medal, was awarded Earf McLaughlin. The silver medtal was won by Miss Lena Myers, ami the-bronze medal by Ernest Zechiel. All of the orations vere pronounced exceptionally fine. An interesting program was rendered by the assistance of the city orchestra, the High School chorus, Miss Louise Grate and the High School Female Quartet. Earl McLaughlin will represent Marshall county at the Northern Indiana Oratorical contest, to be held at Notre Dame, May 11.

Just So it is New. There is a class of people in this country that will eagerly embrace any proposition, suggestion or doctrine that is new to them. These people care little for the teachings of history, else they would be aware that as a matter of fact most of the things, apparently new and novel, have at some time, somewhere, been experimented with and discarded by reason of their impracticability, j ' Demagogues invariably lend countenance to these new theories, new doctrines new plans "for benefiting mankind." To catch .the popular breeze, these rainbow chasers cliampion anything and .everything that bobs up from time to time. Duly analyzed, comparatively few things applicable to popular govern ment can really, be called new. In one form or another the things sought to be injected into our system of government have been put to a test and found wanting. Wonderfully wise were the. men who formed the government of the United States. In the course of one hundred years it needed but little patching. Properly administered, and its powers defined in the spirit of Marshall and Wilson, it proves equal to any and all emergencies. As the country grows in population and wealth, wise laws in restriction of excesses will be needed. A good beginning has been made in this direction. If the people are true to themselves and don't get too far away from the teachings of the founders of the Republic, we'll get along all right. But let the people beware of fads and wild experiments. These lead to destruction. South Bend Times. The Fruit Outlook. 4 George Milbürn of Bristol is the greatest fruit grower of Northern Indiana. He says, in the Goshen Democrat: "There are so many different reports in regard to the effect of bad weather, on fruits, that I will give you the condition as I see it. We had two weeks in March that the weather was more like June than March. The result was that by the first of April fruit budswere swollen as large as they usually are by the first of. May. The freeze. of April 1st, injured the cherries very much and this crop will be very light. This last snow and freeze killed some of the fruit buds of peaches and plums, but there are yet enough sound buds of the latter two to make a fair crop should no further damage occur. Pears, apples and grapes show no injury. I cannot speak about the smaller fruits as I do not grow them." Dreamer's Life Brings Ruin. Sunday morning Dr. Polemus H. Swift spoke at the Austin M. E. church on "Visions and Life." "The coming of great truths and new ideals always results," he said, "in quickened faculties, wider hori zons and keener visions. You can not read a great poem, a great book or a great oration without feeling the thrill of new ambitions and loftier aspirations. "When one has seen Jesus he will have a vision of an unsatifactory past and of inadequate attainments, but he will have a vision of hope, for he will see how lost sovereignty may be restored. He will have a vision of a divinely inspiring example ; of sacrifice that falls into harmony with the great revelations of history. "In view of all this there is one supreme, question, What is your life? Vision without action eventuates in utter ruin." Another Attempt to Wreck Flyer. Canton, O., April- 10. The Penn sylvania railroad has just disclosed an attempt to wreck ihe 18-hour limited at Buck Hill Sunday night the third attempt in this section of the state. A track walker discovered a seo tion of track bent out of place. He re-arranged the rail, but as he was driving home the last spike his lantern was smashed by a stone thrown 'rom the darkness. Three men rushed ver an embankment, showering stones and clubs at him. The track walker fled and notified the operator. The limited was stopped at Alliance. Detectives were hurried here and are at work seeking the wrecker.

Blizzards and the Fruit Crop. Twenty or twenty-five years ag

the newspaper humorists used to an nounce at irregular intervals during the spring months that the Delaware peach crop had been killed again. The killing of the Delaware peach crop became a stock joke, but in reality it was a serious matter when it actually occurred, beause' Delaware produced most of the high-grade peaches in the country. It is different now. As the country has grown and di versified horticulture has become an exact science, no single locality has a monopoly in the production of any specified variety of fruit. There is probably no state in the union, where peaches, for instance, are not cultivated successfully. From one ocean to the other there are orchards of deciduous fruits and the cultivation of citrus fruits, un known a quarter of a century ago, is now conducted so extensively in the southeast and southwest as practically to exclude foreign oranges and lemons from competition with the home product. The United States have progress ed in fruit culture as in everything ele. The secretary of the Missouri Valley Horticultural association re port millions of dollars of damage in the fruit ..districts of Missouri and Kansas owing to the recent blizzard. Twenty years ago even a decade ago there were no fruit sections in the states named. Kansas was a pure ly agricultural sta'e; Missouri raised corn and some cotton. The failure of a staple crop meant disaster. Now adays it signifies- only insignificant loss. N If one. crop fails another is certain to turn out well. This is the lesson that has been learned over all the country. The up-to-date farmer has more than one string to his bow. The nation, itself benefits, because the failure of a crop in any single section does not' now involve much inconvenience, though it used to spell disaster. , So far as the fruit crops is concern ed the blizzard of last week probably caused great damage in some sections while other localities were not affected at all. With Texas producing the highest grade of peaches. and Arkansas growing unexcelled apples to say nothng of the orchards of Georgia and Florida, the disaster to fruit in the north is regrettable but by no means fatal.' Chicago Chronicle. Pays Boy Big Damages. - Judge Ross, an attorney for the Pennsylvania Railway company, on Saturday placed in the hands of County Clerk John D. Ferree a certified check calling, for $23,876.65, says the Marioin Chronicle. This amount represents ' tht J judgment awarded little Frankie S'imons, son of Villiam Simons, of Gas City, whose legs were cut off by the wheels of a Pennsylvania train. It represents the biggest amount ever given as damages for personal injuries in any case in the state of Indiana. After a legal battle of almost four years the Pennsylvania railroad has been compelled to give up the fight The clerk will retain the money until a guardian for the boy is appointed. The decision of the su preme court, sustaining the lowe court, was on Saturday spread on the docket of the Grant circuit court and application for the appointment of the guardian was filed. Frankie Simons was less than eight years' old when he was caught by a train as he attempted to cross the railroad tracks at Gas City. One ol his legs was cut off below the knee and the other ' was severed near the hip. He filed a suit asking $20,000 damages. The hearing was continued on October 22, 1903, and continued until October 26. The jury awarded the boy erery cent he had demanded. The Pennsylvania railroad company carried the matter to the appellate court. The circuit court was sustained all along the( line. There was a fine point of law involved and the case received state attention. Frankie Simons is now ab ut tvrelve years old. He is a daily attendant at the Gas City schools. He already has one artificial limbs and with, the aid of crutches he is able to walk. Woman Pleads her Own Case. Mrs. Benjamin Bauer, arrested for provoke a El wood, took the court by surprise whenshe announced1 that she would plead her own case. Mrs. Bauer is only eighteen years old, yet . . t she twrsted the witnesse up m sucn a manner that they made damaging statements,, and then spent two hour in an argument before the jury trying to convince them of 'her innocence. By a slip of the tongue she admitted that she was willing to pay a fine for the experience she had gained and the staid judge promptly fined her$l and! costs. In deference to the wit she displayed in handling the case the judge remitted the fine and her husband, from whom she had been separated for several months, paid the costs. April Snow Not Unusuil It may be reassuring though hardly comforting to be reminded by the Indianapolis News that snow in April is not an unusual phenomenon. The News says the records of the weather bureau at Indianapolis show there was really nothing wonderful about ibis week's fall of mow. It says: "To Je sure, there were no traces of snow April of last year, but there were traces on April 6, 7, H and. 13, in 1905; oo- April 9, 10 and 12, in 1904, and on April 3 and 4 in 1903. Further research into the an,nals of the bureau show similar conditions earlier. Says Editor Swore Falsely. Carl W. Riddick," secretary of the Republican state committee, and edtor of the Winamac Republican, on Saturday was arrested on a charge of making a false statement in a mortgage exemption affidavit. He gave bond for his appearance in court. Valparaiso Vidette.
