CASTLE I THE TYBOL
HAS BEEN PURCHASED AND WILL BE USED AS A SUMMER HOME BY FRANCIS A. McNUTT A Richmond Boy Whe Has Achieved Renown in the Field of j Diplomacy.
The man of broad and liberal soul stands receptive to all the beauty and poetry of the world about him. Such ' a soul has not been touched by the blighting: finger of selfishness nor shrivelled by pondering long and deeply upon the thought of "I and Mine." A thing of beauty is a heritage of nature. There are no title deeds to the delights of the trained senses. The test of the divine philosophy of the man of Galilee is not seen so much iu whether one can mourn with those in adversity as in being able to rejoice with them in their prosperity. Among the men who have crone out from Richmond and achieved success in the world' work none doubtless sho:iM be named before Francis A. McNutt, now of Rome, Italy. His story reads like a romance, or the third wish come true of the fortunate possessor of the magic lamp of Aladdin. He is a grandson of Andrew F. Scott, wrho was president of the Second National bank of this city at the time of its organization in 1S72, a worthy and highly respected citizen. Francis was of a bookish turn and was given every advantage in the way of education and later completed his studies at the famous Vatican school of diplomacy. He was sometime connected with the American legations in Egypt, Turkey, Italy and Spain. Mr. McNutt married Miss Margaret Van Courtland Ogden, who came of one of the oldest and most aristocratic of the Knickerbocker families and an heiress of property valued at twenty million dollars. Mr. McNutt has, for some time, been connected with the Vatican's of ficial family and has made his home in one of the famous palaces of the church in ome, the Palazzo Pamfili built for Innocent X. in 10.10. History has it that this palace possesses a ceiling decorated with scenes from Virgil's Aeneid and by the hands of one of the old masters. The opening of the palace is upon the Piazza Navona. one of the historic squares of f the "Eternal City." Recently Mr. McNutt has come into possession of a castle in the Tyrolese Alps, where, of all Europe, the views are the finest, and here, in this beauty spot of the earth, he will make his summer home. This castle is of thirteenth century architecture. It is noted for its gothic hall and for the marvelous preservation of its old time stair case. The grounds around the castle, sixty acres of pine forest and upland meadow, are such as will lend themselves with advantage to the art of the modern landscape gardner, and Mr. McNutt has the trained eye of taste, and will add the charm of an artist to what he finds of great natural beauty ready at his hand. Richmond will not begrudge him these great possessions; for it is belived that he is well worthy of them all. AMAHEPOBT Of the Associated Charities for the Year Ending March 1st., 1904.

Mather, Treas. CANDIDATE FDR SUPREME-JIBE A JACKSON COUNTY REPUBLI CAN WHO WAS ONCE DEFEATED IN CONVENTION JUDGE MONTGOMERY Of Seymour Will Ask Tor the Nomination at the Coming State Convention. Hon. O. II. Montgomery of Seymour will seek the nomination for Supreme Judge in the second judicial district. Judge Montgomery is a man of middle age and eminently qualified for the position he seeks. Six years ago, he was defeated by only a few votes and because he was regarded as too young in years and experience for such a position. He is not only a profound lawyer but has a fine academic education as a foundation for the legal profession. He graduated from Hanover College with high honors and is devoted to all the interests of life and of the people. He was appointed by Goy. Mount a member of the state commission on Uniform Laws and in performing the duties which this commission imposed, he has been associated with some of the best lawyers in the state. The Seymour Daily Republican says: "In presenting the name of Mr. Montgomery for judge of the supreme court the Republicans of Jackson county and his friends throughout the state, knowing full well that he should be nominated, are firm in their belief that he will be the nominee of the state convention for supreme judge for the Second judicial district." NAAMAffS OBEDIENCE Was the Theme of Evangelist Legg's Sermon Last Night. The largest audience of the entire series of meetings crowded the Christian church last night to hear the popular evangelist, T. J. Legg. Although Mr. Legg has been here nearly five weeks, his popularity increases with every sermon. The sermon last night on "Naaman's Obedience" was one of the best he has? preached, and held the great audience to the last. Four persons were baptized last night and two came forward to unite with the ehurch. Tonight the male quartet, which has been earning such well merited praise during these metings, will sing. "Baptism by Analogy" will be Mr. Legg's subject tonight. Service at 7:30. J. Y. Poundstone returned last night from a business trip to Spring field, O. , . .,

AMINO CHALLENGED
BY MARION TO PLAY A SERIES OF THREE GAMES. OUTSIDE OF HOMETOWNS For a Purse of Five Hundred Dol lars After the Season Closes. The following dispatch from Ma rion will be of great interest here : Marion, Ind., April 7. The Marion polo team, as members and not the local association, issues a challenge td play the Richmond team a series of three games to be played in any city outside of Marion and Richmond, at any time after the close of the Western league season. The Marion team will post a side bet of $500, which Richmond will be expected to cover. It is said that the feeling prevails throughout the circuit that the Marion team is the superior of the Richmond team, and that games played on a neutral floor Avould be a fair Avay of determining which is the stronger team. To Protest. Manager Fox finished Wednesday night's game at Richmond under protest. It is asserted that time for the close of the last period was called two minutes and fifty-one seconds before the inning should have closed. A goal made by Cameron a few seconds before the gong was sounded was not counted, and this would have tied the score. Richmond players left the floor in the last period at the direction of Manager Henley, of the Richmond team, and not after the referee had called time. It is claimed that it was deliberate robbery when Richmond received the credit of the game. It is believed that Manager Fox will be supported by other managers in his protest of last night's Richmond has won the pennant and won it fairly. People in every town of the league who are familiar with Joe Fox's trickery will not take much stock in this last cheap squeal he is making. Fox borrowed men and loaned men to other clubs to beat Richmond in open violation of the constitution of the league, and if the games were thrown out that Marion won with borrowed players, Marion would now be in third place. As for the Marion team being stronger than Richmond, there is absolutely nothing in that. Richmond has defeated Marion ten times this season, w?hile Marion has won but six. It would not be surprising, however, if the league managers robbed Richmond of the pennant and presented it to Marion. Joe Fox seems to have the majority of the managers hynotized and uses them as tools to further his own interests. If Richmond is robbed of the pennant it will hurt polo in the f west. The people in Richmond who attend polo would not give a cent to see Richmond win the pennant if they, could not w-in it fairly, but they have won it fair, and everybody in the state interested in polo knows it.

"LIABLATT IS NAM) AS THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR OF RICHMOND. ROUSING MEETING HELD Speeches Made Eulogizing Good Qualities of Candidate No Other Nominations. The Democrats, of the city met in mass convention last night at the city hall for the express purpose of naming a candidate for mayor of the city, one that could run a good race against Dr. Zimmerman and come out victorious. The committee that was appointed the other night brought in its report and the report complete was that they had decided upon the name of II. R. Marlatt as the candidate for mayor. The report of the committee was adopted unanimously and speeches were made that were ebullient with enthusiasm and old-time Democracy. The "unterrified" did not by resolution or verbal report endorse the present administration, nor did it select any candidate for the Presidency as Richmond's choice. The speeches abounded iu praise of the candidate, enumerating his good qualities and expatiating on his merits and qualifications for the office "that should seek the man." It was a regular Democratic love feast. There will be no other candidates, save those already named for council. The battle is now on and the election will occur on the jbird of May Mr. Marlatt. The above named gentleman, who will now lead the Democratic ticket, is an honored resident of this city, and lives with his family at 110 north sixth street. He is and has been for a number of years connected with Gaar, Scott & Co., in the capacity of foreman. He is a brother of Charles Marlatt, who was once elected sheriff of Wayne county. MUSICAL FESTIVAL Handsome Window Cards Being Put Out. The May Musical Festival is putting out some handsome window cards of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and soloists, and in a few days will have ready a 36 page book giving full information concerning the festival.

THE "AlEf PART DF SALOON SO SAYS THE APPELLATE COURT IN A DECISION RENDERED POOL ROOMS AND RESTAURANTS Part of the Saloon Decision May Cause Considerable Trouble. A case came up in the appellate court at Indianapolis yesterday that throws an entirely new light on saloon affairs. The decision of the court is that an "annex" is a part of the saloon, and, whether that annex is used as a pool room or restaurant violations of the law in such room is as flagrant as if committed in the room where the liquor is sold. Following is the case that called for the decision: "The appealed ease of John W. Atkinson, of Redkey vs. the state, was reversed in the Appellate court yesterday. A precedent was established in the court's ruling which may cause every keeper of a saloon adjoining a restaurant, pool room or other place of public resort to close both establishments during the hours specified in the Nicholson law. "Atkinson, in his application to the Jay county commissioners, designated the size of the saloon, and gave no particulars of a poolroom in the rear, which was separatd by a partition. The saloon was closed during the prohibited hours, but the state claimed, in the Jay circuit court, that drinks were served in the pool room on Sundays, and that the room continued open in violation of the Nicholson law. Atkinson contended that the law did not cover his pool rom, but the court held otherwise." OTfflTpM Taken to the Michigan City Penitentiary This Morning. Otto S. Bertram was taken to the MichiganXity penitentiary this morning by .Sheriff Richard Smith. There was no ceremony, and the sheriff and prisoner walked to the station.

The regular blow out of the Red men of this district was given -here last night. Over two hundred visitors from Richmond and other surroundj ing towns came up to attend the big meeting and this little burg was' "painted red" to a finish. The accommodations here were entirely insufficient for the number who came up and the homes of local Red Men were thrown open to the visitors. Most of the erowd arrived between 4 and 6 o'clock, although the delegations from the nearer towns were here by noon. The afternoon was spent in viewing the city and in securing accommodations for the night. The larger delegations, such as that from Richmond, arrived about half past 5, and then the real "fun" of the evening commenced. After the visitors had all secured their supper, accompanied by local Red Men, they went to the Red men's hall, where the session convened at 7 o'clock. Speeches were made by the leaders of the different delegations, and the work of conferring degrees was exemplified upon the candidates. The Richmond degree team, captained by Murray Huddleston, did especially fine work, and the team was the recipient of many congratulations. More speeches from visiting and local Red Men followed this work and then all adjourned to the banquet hall, where a sumptuous banquet was served. Toasts were given and responded to and many "after dinner" soeeches and short talks were made. The remainder of the evening was spent in giving a roseate hue to the town in general. The Richmond delegation, which returned to that city this morning, was composed of the following: Murray Huddleston, captain of the degree team; William Hufford, Wesley Brown. Tom Baker, Archie Frankenburr. William Fisher. Will Bennett, William Phillips, Walter Sauers, Oliver Jones, William Dickinson, Edward Ellabarsrer. Tom King. William Yimrling, Will Totten and Emett Wolff.

They went from here to New Castle and will visit every county in the district. Mrs. Sarah E. Bayne, who has been visiting her daughter, Mrs. W. A. Fiske, returned to Greencastle today.

There are those scattered all over the world who hold the memory of her good deeds to them in very tender remembrance. One of these in Japan has built, just recently, a. Christian chapel and named it Bayne chapel in her honor. Good is
