MAYOR ZIMMERMAN'S ADDRESS. ' Mayor Zimmerman's address to the city council on Tuesday night is an interesting review of city affairs for the past year and suggestions for 'some necessary improvements during the coming year. One of the best features of the mayor's address is the recommendation regarding the city building and an office for the Municipal Light Plant. The south side ought to have a hose house of its own, say on South Eighth street. This would give that section of the city better fire protection. Then, as recommended, the Electric Light office could be moved into the city building where it really belongs. The Riverside Park project is a good one and ought to be encouragedby all the citizens. We like his suggestion that the street commissioner should consult with the city engineer regarding the grades of the approaches to the park. The city engineer is the one wholly responsible to the city for grades and sometimes for material. Of course, he is never in need of advice and suggestions and they are usually gratis, and come from persons who know very little about the real problems that have to be solved. These problems must be viewed from, at least, two standpoints, the one scientific and the other financial. This suggests two qualities that should belong to a city engineer. He should be courteous enough and gracious enough to listen to all the citizens and leagues that have ideas, provided he has ti ne, and then do as he pleases about the matter. The city engineer should be a capable man. By this we mean that he should know his business so well and do his work so well that a generation, at least, should come and go without any necessity for changing it. Any city government is. safe in the hands of a mayor and city engineer that have "back bone," and a council that is upright, intelligent, judicious, economical and responsible. Everything in the mayor's address is practical and deserves due consideration from every citizen who has the welfare of Richmond at heart.

Th-J Palladium is in receipt of the 1904 catalogue of Indiana University and notes with considerable satisfaction its constant and substantial growth. During the past year this institution enrolled 1,418 students. Of these 497 were women and 921 were men. All the counties in the State, but one, were represented in last year's enrollment. Resides Indiana, there were 17 other States and foreign countries represented. Indiana University has had a remarkable growth and all within the past fifteen years. It began this growth under Dr. Jordan and continued it through the administrations of Presidents Swain and Bryan. Dr. William Lowe Bryan, a graduate of the university has been the president since 1902, and in every movement he has made, he ha shown himself eminently qualified for every duty and sesponsibflity. lie is not only a great scholar and a great teacher, but has qualities of heart that attract and bind people to him. The outlook for this institution was never brighter than it is now.

MET DUTY BRRAVELY. The Republican party was born of the conscience of the people, and it was here dedicated to as high and holy a service as ever summoned men to heroic duty. It has given security and protection to capital and labor. It has been the wise and loyal friend of each. No duty has been laid upon it, no matter how sudden or grave, but that it has met it wisely and bravely. It has never capitulated to mere expediency nor made a truce with wrong. It has stood against socialistic tendencies and opposed those malign teachings which would establish class distinctions. Charles W. Fairbanks, at Jackson, Michigan, yesterday. John Sharp Williams said, in his key note speech yesterday at St. Louis, that it was a most natural thing for Elihu Root to have praised President Roosevelt because of the "mutual admiration sieiety" constituted by Mr. Roosevelt and his former secretary of war. It is safe to predict that during the Democratic convention there will be no evidences of "mutual admiration societies."

The Louisville school board refused to admit four Filipinos to the Manual Training school o fthat city. This action was taken solely on account of their color and shows that "Old Kentucky" still draws the color line even in the public schools. W. J. Bryan was before the credentials committee at 3 o'clock this morning. This would indicate that the "peerless leader" dost some sleep last night and also that he consoles himself with the certain knowledge that others shared his vigils.

A parade of fifteen automobiles passed through this place last Thursday evening from Richmond en route to Williamsburg and Fountain City. "Will Mitchell's house is nearly finished. The family will be very glad to get into the new house as they have lived about a year since their fire in a small room they had built for hen house. Much of the corn will be laid by this week. Clover hay making is at hand and wheat is ready to be harvested. Much of the crop of wheat will be cut in our community this week. There was a missionary meeting held at the Friends church last Sunday afternoon. Quite a number from Chester were present. The Odd Fellows lodge are building an addition to their hall. The foundation is about finished. The addition will be of brick. Clinton Thompson and family have moved into the Monger property, lately vacated by Irwin Johnson and will make this his home.

The committee on permanent organization chose Champ Clark, of Missouri, for permanent chairman in place of Senator Bailey, who is reported to have declined in favor of his close friend Clark. Mr. Bryan went direct fro mthe convention to the room of the committee on platform and entered on work in hand there. Hill does not desire to shut off favorite sons. He says all should be presented to the convention. The New Jersey delegation today decided to vote for Parker. Murphy, at Tammany headquarters, said he still believed that Parker could not be nominated. At 2:10 the convention was not called to order, but interest in the expected debate on the committee on credentials report served to bring in delegates and spectators early. Champ Clark, as he went into the convention, said he saw no reason why they cannot dispose of the nomination tonight. He said he would nominate Cockrall at 2:14 Bryan entered the hall and was cheered heartily. A demonstration began which lasted ten minutes. Nebraska's banner was raised and cheering was continued, augmented when the standards of Missouri, Iowa, North Dakota and Kentucky were carried to that of Nebraska. , A rerounding din followed. The majority of the delegates remained in their seats. Then Georgia raised a Parker banner. The entire convention apparently joined in a wild roar. Then the Parker baner was borne to the platform followed by the standards of other States and the demonstration seemed uncontrollable. It lasted for twenty minutes. When the convention adjourns today it will be till 10 o'cloc k tomorrow. The chairman called for order through a megaphone. The report of the committee on credentials was presented. Bryan made a minority report and took the platform to speak. WOMEN'S CLOTHES Have Much to Do With Temperament and Disposition. The following very sensible article appeared in Medical Talk for July, and signed E. P. It is worthy of careful reading and the suggestions would be well worth following: For women to wear black or dark, dingy colored clothes habitually is not a good thing. Clothes have so much effect upon a woman's temperament and disposition and therefore upon her health. She may not be conscious that the clothes she wears make her feel dreary and depressed and discouraged. She may never think anything about it. So many women wear black, especially all through the winter months. It saves laundry bills and is economical from a money standpoint. But it is a bad thing to do. Black has a depressing eiicci, Avnetner we are really j conscious of it or not. It is always j suggestive of death and sorrow and j bereavement. We don't believe it is! a wise thing for people to wear mourn ing, because it keeps them reminded all the while of their loss. It is just a useless custom anvhow. The girl in an odice is so apt to get into Hie habit of wearing black. She does look very neat and trim, especially if she relieves the black with white collars and cult's. But a white waist or some pretty color is so much more cheery. We feel sure that if the black waist is left off and a white or colored one put ou the girl will feel brighter and happier. Old women and those approaching middle age seem to think they must leave off wearing white or bright colors, and put on black or gray or some sombre-hued garment. This is all a mistake. There is nothing so beautiful as an old woman dressed in pure white. It is just all a notion that because one is no longer young she must not wear pretty, bright colors. ISAAC KLINE Isaac Kline is now making the final preparations for the summer and fall season on the road with his cinematographe. He has been keeping it in running order by displaying on the corner of ninth and Main. He will show this year at Chautauquas in the northern part of the state and at other gatherings of a like nature. Mr. Kline has made quite a reputation with his machine and he has many offers.

CHAMP CLARK, Permanent Chairman. RUMOR MONGERS BUSY Situation at the Seat of War Not Very Clear. Liao Ya ifj, July 7. A battle is proceeding twenty-five miles from here. Numbers of wounded are being brought in irom the mountains. Evidently the engagement is a severe one. It is believed that the Japanese are continuing their advance with the object of cutting off Mukden. St, Petersburg, July 7. In the absence of official news from the seat of war the rumor mongers are busily at work. Reports of heavy fighting above Kai Chau have spread through the city, but they probably had their origin in foreign telegrams, as the war office is without information on the subject. The situation in the zone of hostilities is not clear. Unofficial reports seem to indicate a lack of decision on the part of the Japanese, some of them saying that the Japanese are advancing and others that they are retreating. The rains apparently have ceased for the moment, but there is a strong conviction taat on the eve cf torrentiw rams uite Japanese wm not riSK a, general advance from the mountains! nn w . . l : - i . i. of defeat it would be almost impossible to extricate themselves. On the other hand, best-informed military circles believe tnat nothing but a superior force or imperative' necessity as to transport conditions would compel the Japanese to relinquish passes which they obtained after so much laborious effort. The siege of Port Arthur, the holding and fortifying of the mountain passes, a juncture of the forces of Generals Kuroki and Oku and possibly an extension of their lines to the west coast of Liao Tung in order to force out the Russians from New Chwang so that they may secure a new base there, is conservatively regarded as the Japanese program for the next two months.

Many Indiana Republicans Attend th Celebration,! Japkson, . I- , ,; '.Indianapolis, july l.-f-Many prominent Indiana 'Republicans , participated yesterday in the celebration of the parv ty's golden jubilte "Under the Oak3" at Jackson, Mich., whore the Republican party was organized fifty years ago. Senator Fairbanks was one of the speakers, as were Secretary cf State Hay, who was Abraham Lincoln's private secretary; Speaker Cannon, and others of national reputation. It was at Jackson, in a grove of oak trees, that the first state convention acting under the name "Republican" was held on the Cth of July fifty year3 ago. Continuing hi3 reports of crop conditions. State Statistician Johnson gives out the further good news that Indiana's potato crop this year will be a record breaker. He says the crop all over the state is in finer condition than at the same date for years past, and that only unprecedented drouth can prevent the farmers of the state from ' harvesting a crop of the tubers that for size and quality wil lbreak all records for the state. Mr. Johnson's xcorn report is still favorable, and he says that, now that the nights are growing warmer, nothing remains but a continuation of existing conditions to make the corn crop fully up to the average. m

President Hugh McGowan of the Indianapolis Traction and Terminal company, in a statement issued yesterday, estimates that the Interurban roads of Indiana handled during the last year two and a half millions of passengers In and out of Indianapolis, and says he believes this number will be increased during the present year to three and a half millions. Mr. McGowan goes further in his estimate, saying that it is his belief that next year the interurban3 will handle 4,500,000 passengers, as people in the country and in the smaller towns are every year making freer use of the electric lines all over the state. Many complaints are coming to State Game and Fish Commissioner Sweeney to the effect that sportsmen, farmers and others all over the state are violating the game law by killing . , 7 - , , , squirrels out of season. The last legislature amended the game laws and among other amendments was one making tne open season for squirrels to begin Aug. 1 instead of June 1, as it was formerly. Hundreds of squirrel hunters are not aware of this, and the killing of young squirrels is causing great complaint. Orders have been issued to deputy wardens to put a stop to the illegal hunting. The conviction is growing among j Republicans that the Democrats of Inj diana will not be given both the vice nresidential candidate and the nation al. chairman, and that the chances are about even that they will get neither. It is pointed out that the Taggart forces are not even making claims at present, and that no great amount of importance seems to attach to the Kern boom for the second place on the ticket. With the state thus snubbed at the hands of the Democracy, it is affirmed, there will not be the slightest trouble in keeping it in line next fall. D. M. Parry, who has just returned from New York, confirms the report that the Illinois Central railroad has secured control of the Indianapolis Southern road and will thus have a line into Indianapolis. Mr. Parry states that construction work on the Indianapolis Southern will be pushed as rapidly as possible, and says that Illinois Central trains will be running into the city over the new line early 1b 1905. Opie Read, the novelist; Charles Eugene Banks, Madison Cawein and other writers of national repute are present at the convention of the Western Association of Writers at Winona this week. This year's meeting is the best in point of attendance that the association has held, and more writers whose names frequently appear in the tables of contents of the higher class of magazines are taking part in the proceedings. The meeting will be held all week. Senator Beveridge, who has been visiting President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay, has left for a vacation of several weeks in the depths of the Maine woods. The senator will not return to Indianapolis until after the hot weather of August. Finally Got a Quorum. Havana, July 7. The house of representatives had a quorum yesterday for the first time since congress convened, April 4. The radical soldier members joined their comrades of the moderate party in bringing about this result. T-he house approved the credentials of thirteen new soldier congressmen. The moderates will control the organization of the house. Unless a compromise be effected, however, the deadlock will be resumed after the passing of the soldiers' pay bill and other urgent legislation. Parole for Ellas Owen. Brazil, Ind., July 7. Governor Durbin has paroled Ellas Owen, who has been serving a life sentence in the prison for the' murder of James Biggs, June 23, 1893, in the streets of Clay City, this county. He was sentenced in the circuit court here Jan. 24, 1894. Gyangtse, Tibet, July 7. The fort held by 7,000 Tibetans was captured by a mere handful of British and Indian soldiers.

f7f r .' t in A Man' Eighty-five Year Old Shaved By Barber for First Time Whitehouse, N. J., July 7. Although 85 years old, Peter S. LaTourette has just had his first experience in a barber's chair. " Mr. LaTourette lire.s near the station here, and yesterday strolled into the barber shop of Charles Roedell while in town. He seemed greatly amazed at the way things are done in a tonsorial parlor, and was astonished at all the "fixings" the barber put on his face after. the whiskers had been removed. On leaving the chair he said it was the first time in his life tha,t he had ever been shaved by a barber, and he seemed rather sorry that he had not enjoyed the experience before.
