Edgar M. Haas who became the " business head of the Palladium at the time the present management purchased the property, and who was Induced to temporarily at least give a part of his time from his official duties as Cleric of the Wayne circuit court, to the work of installing and organizing the rejuvenated Palladium, has concluded this undertaking to the satisfaction of tho management and with the greatest credit to himself. Mr. Haas today retires from the Palladium to give his entire time to lita duties at the court house iind the Palladium regrets that business relations, which have been of the most cordial, arc to bo severed. Since Mr. Haas has assumed the responsibilities attendant upon the re-equipping of a newspaper office, ho has passed through a strenuous period but he has had tho full satisfaction of putting together what is the most complete and modem newspaper plant in this section of tho state.

THINKS SALOONS HELP.

That is If They are Conducted In Accordance With Law A Newspaper Editor's Views.

Tho Milton News of this week says; "Tliomas J. Graves, a farmer who lives oast of town, published hU anlltcatkm In the Cambridge City Tribune asking for a license to sell whiskey here in Milton: Regardless of his .landing and his war record in Cuba, l.e went down in defeat. Mordecai Doodildgo, John Jud'.vins and W. L. Parkins tiled the remonstrance bearing 227 name: against the traffic. They had l;i majority. "Mr. Graves, tho applicant, is reputed to bo a good looking man, but he Bcemed to realize that he was up against tho real thing, ani was alive to every issuo. His personality did not appeal to the Hoard, however, in tho face of tho remonstrance. Graves will uppeal his case to tho Circuit court but it is thought ho will -stand no show there. J Probably in a business way Milton would bo benefited by having a saloon if it was conducted according to law. In thr past this has not been observed. Indications are that Milton will always remain a "dry" town."

THE -MERCHANT ".OF VENICE

& First of a -Series of Modern Translations of the Bard of Avon's Masterpieces, From the Pen of STRICKLAND Wc GILLILAN A Former Richmond Newspaper Man, Now One of the Most Widely Read of American Humorists.

(Copyright, 1906, by S. W. Gillilan.) HFRF URfd in livft at Belmont. Italv th anrtl

J home of Perry and August Belmont, a human necta

rine that was several grafts to the good of anything

in the line of plum-cots, squash-cots, or any other kind of hyphenated hybrids invented by Luther Burbank. Her name was Portia. When her daddy 'saw that Death had both his shoulders on the mat, and felt one hip slowly going down under the influence of the full Nelson, he sprung a little matrimonial bureau scheme that recognized marriage in its true colors as a lottery. He said: "Porsh, it's me to the osseous orchard. But before the wax flowers gather on my memorial wreath in the parlor, near the crayon portrait of grandmother, here's a little line I've doped out to make it easy for you to tell whether the flock of wrap-carriers that will buzz after you want really you or just your money. "According to Carnegie, I'm disgraced, for I'm dying as rich as all get-out. I've fixed up three little band-boxes, one gold, one Bryan metal, and one lead. In the lucky one of these I've put a tintype of ycu the ore you had taken at Coney Island in , your bathing suit. When this hive of honeybees comes sizzing after you, show them these boxis and let them choose. Make every mother's son of them promise that in making this choice he cuts off his privilege of ever asking any other girl for her fin, also that he will never bawl out to any one which box he picked. If they will stand for that, nd if the one that finds the box with your bathhouse tintype in it will stand for it, there oughtn't to be any trouble whatever about your getting a chap that's game and in dead earnest." In those days (that was a long time ago) children paid some attention to their parents' wills, so Portia said: "All right pap. Ta ta." And he chuckled himself to death right there and then. Just as old wiseness had predicted, there came a terrible big flock of chaps around to see Portia. It was known that she had enough money to pay off half the mortgages on the crowned heads of Europe and Northern Africa. So why shouldn't they love her and think she was beautiful? There was a guy from Morocco a prince; another prince from Arragon, and a duke from Venice. The other two managed to make the Venetian blind o.' something, for he doesn't figure much in the story. But there was another fellov that stood a good deal more than duce-high in that Portia girl's books. His name was Bassanio, a high-roller from Venice. Like most of the fellows rich girls really prefer, Bass was about as wise to the handling of money as a cow is regarding the Decalogue. He knew how to make money move, but always in the wrong direction. He had a nice time, and was the life of the party while the coin was traveling, but when it had gone over the horizon he kept his eyes on the spot where it had vanished and reached behind him for more. Once when he reached, he clawed the unoccupied atmosphere, which embarrassed and annoyed him right badly. He needed three thousand ducats that very minute, and he was very indignant to find nobody owed him any. So he went and told a funny story to a friend of his who was in business and was reputed to have wealth to the painful degree. This peanut merchant who was supposed to be suffering from shekelitis made an answer that some one may have made to you sometime that his money was tied up so he couldn't get at it just then. Of course, that annoyed Bassie still more. So he said: "Tony, old meal-ticket, you've lent me money before atid I've never paid you. When I was a boy and used to lose an arrow, I'd shoot another one the same way, and often I'd find both. S'pose you try that with your money." Like lots of men with business sense, Tony wasn't proof against a slick talk that he couldn't understand, and he said that, on reflection, he thought he could go and help Bassie rake up the needed ducats. First man they hit was a Sheeny named Shylock. Tony told him what a good fellow he was and invited him to dinner. It didn't go down for a minute. Shylock knew a joke when he saw it, and he only grinned and said:

"Vat Ich kan did for you, shendtlemens, yes? How mooch Idt iss, undt vat 1st der segurities? Vat?" Tony did the talking, and fnally, when the Jew had quit declaring how he was entirely btcke himself, and had said a lot f uncomplimentary things about Gentiles in general, he got down to cases. Tony gave him a strong one about the several Cunarder loads of peanuts that were on the way to him from the peanut hatcheries in the Czark mountains, and offered the entire shipment as security. But Shylock wouldn't hear to anything but a bond. Being a kind-hearted old grabhook, all he asked was a promise, signed, sealed and delivered, that if that money wasn't paid on time, out of those very shipments of Missouri peanut?, he was to cut a pound of Tony's brisket as a juvenir on the day when the thing was due. Tony didn't care a whoop. He thought the old man was ' Adding, and said "Sure." He laughed when he signed it. In the meantime (and most of the times then were that . 5nd) that coon from Morocco came and asked Portia about that splicing stunt. He apologized nicely for his complexion, saying that he had been at Atlantic City all summer and was tanned simply awful. She told him she had something there that had him faded .all right, and sprung this little box system of pa's on him. Rocky was game, and picked the gold one. Nothing doing, but some bum rhymes. With a brief but earnest "Piffle" Rocky hit the back trail. Arragon came and did a similar stunt. Having relatives in Nevada, he coppered the silver chest, and found some more magazine verse. Him to the nearest saloon to join the Moor. About that time Bassanio hitched his horse to the front gate and came into the drawing-room, where the drawing was taking place. Seeing that both the other boxes had been tampered with (thought he was too foxy to let anybody know he saw it) he picked the lead one, got the tintype and the girl and here's where the story would end if it wasn't for that meat deal with the Baxter street nabob. Just after they became engaged, Bassanio told the girl what a scrape he'd got Tony into. "Also," he said, "owing to the floods along the Missouri and Mississippi, those Ozark peanuts are three weeks late, and I haven't a sou markee to help Tony out with." Portia handed him her blank check book and told him to go and settle. But he found Shylock wouldn't have anything but that peanut money or the stock nearest Tony's wishbone. Embarrassing? Well I should say. Tony felt badly and as if he were about to lose flesh. Bassie ran home again and told Portia about it. She said:. "Lemme think," and went out of the blue parlor into the brown study. When the titri came for Tony to fish, cut bait, or go ashore, Shylock was the tickledest Jew in Venice. He knew Tony was no hog, otherwise he wouldn't have been so greedy for his meat. But have that choice cut he would. Things were getting no better rapidly; the bases were full, nobody out, and Shylock at the bat, when a little chap sauntered in, trailed by another little chap. The newcomers touted themselves for a great judge, and his clerk. When Shylock's bond story had been told, the new judge said: "Why, cert. It's meat. Tony, you to the hack-block. But let me pipe the document." When the document had been examined, the new judge said: "That's all to the good, old whiskers. Whet your Sheffield cutlery." "Shimminy grrrr-r-acious vat a shmardt kid idt' iss!" said Shylock, fumbling in his desk for a whetstone. "But say," said the judge in refrigerated tones, "they's one little point maybe you ain't wise to. This paper calls for meat nothing but meat, understand. It don't call for no blood not. And, if, in slicing out that piece of Tony you let any of his claret get away, it's you and your dollrags to Sing Sing, and your bank account to the Senate. Cut straight or on the bias, but no gore goes. See?" "Gott in Himmell Such a rottenness off a umpire!" yelled Shylock. But the bleachers were with the kid judge and her side kick. And Tony retained his brisket. Then it turned out, a few weeks later, when it all got into the Belmont Express' society column, that the judge was Portia in a Peter Pan suit she had borrowed from Ma Daddams, and the clerk was her understudy, Nerissa. Wasn't that Portia the sassy limb, though?

INDEPENDENTS TO MEET

Annual Convention of Indiana Telephone Association to be Held at Indianapolis May 17-18.

The annual convention of the Indiana Independent Telephone Association will be held In Indianapolis on the 17th and 18th of this month and a large number of telephone men are expected to attend. President A. C. Lindemuth and Superintendent Bailey of the Richmond Home Telephone Company will represent the independent Interests of this city. The battle against the Bell Company is still being waged by the independent companies and in many cities the phone rates are so low that nearly everyone can afford to be a subscriber. It is probable that at this meeting the association will lay aside more ammunition' with which to attack the "Bell."

Unlimited Resources.

The Theodore Thomas Orchestra having at its hands unlimited resources is able to search the world for the best and it is this coupled with the aggressiveness of the management that has made it so famous the world over. The management of the Richmond Centennial May Musical Festival feel as if they have paid the Richmond Music lovers a decided compliment by bringing to this city an organization of t'ae. standing of the Thomas Orchestra.
