Where's Wltherby?

Even with the mercury hovering near the ninety mark and the ico book diminishing in thickness every day, the coal dealers won't permit us to forest the fact that next winter is coming. May delivery orders for anthracite are bringing $7 a ton.

The Indiana Supremo Court did not deem it necessary to enter Into a lengthy explanation as to tho causes which determined the caso of former Auditor Rherrlck. The simple word "denied" was written on the petition for a rehearing.-

After a half dozen attempts, Sylvester Meek, the Democratic district chairman . has been permitted to again call the congressional convention. This time the date Is fixed for June 2' and the place of meeting, Greenfield. Now if some of the other leaders in the Democratic party don't cancel tho date, there is some chance that tho convention will be held. According to one disgusted Richmond Democrat, the great difficulty In the Sixth district in tho ranks of his party is that everybody wants to be a "general." There Is ' a lack of privates.

The wonder of it all is that the outbreak of Tillman and Baifey in the Senate has attracted such great attention. Both of those Senators, .brainy though they be, have always relied wholly upon abusive tirades, ns those uttered against the President1 this week, to orlng them Into the limelight. The Kansas City Star declares that Tillman and Bailey have hea acting decent for so long that they finally became dissatisfied with themselves.

Speaking of the "stuff of which men are made" a Chicago newspaper says that tho charge that President Roosevelt Is a being of clay is false on its very face. His principal constituent element ' is "sand" the Chicago paper says.

Tho fact that the Board of Public Works has seen fit to take action which indicates that North Fourteenth street from the Pennsylvania railroad tracks to E street shall bo vacated In order that one of Richmond's greatest industries may be allowed to spread out, will meet with the approval of every unprejudiced citizen. A disposition to accommodate in a material way Industries that are a part of the bone and sinew of tho city, .cannot be otherwise than beneficial. Whenever a Richmond manufacturing establishment increases its capacity and thereby gives more men employment, the good accomplished Is far reaching.

OVERSIGHT OF STATE CHARGES

How Dependent Children are Being Cared for by Charity Board.

UNDERTAKING A SUCCESS

RECORD ALREADY MADE IS MOST COMMENDABLE SOME FACT8 AND FIGURES GIVEN OUT TO THE PRESS.

Pai.uli.n FperMal. Indianapolis, May 16. The work of the Board of State Charities for the dependent children Is one that will appeal to every cJtlzen. It consists in finding homes for children who are public wards, visiting such children in private families to ascertain how they are doing, and in other ways helping them to independent citizenship. Tho Board has prepared a statistical report of the work done by its agents under the law of 1897, when the agency was created by an act of the Legislature. The department has now completed its ninth year. For a part of the time there was but one agent employed. Three others have since been added to tbe force. Their duties take them into every part of the State Investigating applications for children, visiting those already placed, inspecting orphans' homes and consulting with county officials. There has been 8,813 visits made to children In family homes in the nine years, many of the children being visited a number of times. Most of these children were placed by the orphans homes, others by the State Agents. In 77 per cent, of the cases the children were found to be doing well and 13 per cent, fairly well, while but 10 per cent, were not satisfactory. This indicates that great care has been exercised in selecting homes from the families applying for children. ..The applications received and investigated by the agents up to the present time number 3,316, and of thes3 it has been found necessary to reject but 575, or 17 per cent. Two thousand and twenty-three children have been placed by the agents since the department was created. This nnmbcr includes replacements, there having been about 1,500 children handled. Under the law the agents are required to inspect all the orphans' homes In the State, and In compliance with this duty they have made 1,501 visits to such institutions since April 1. 1897. This means an average of 106 visits annually, and since there are less than fifty such homes in the State, it is safe to say they have been thoroughly inspected. In addition to

this there have been made 231 visits

to county poor asylums and 187 to county officials. For the carrying on of this work the State appropriates $8,000 annually, or about $22 per day. The daily expense of caring for children In an Orphans' Home Is twenty-five cents. The placing of these 1,500 children in free family homes has therefore removed from the public a burden amounting to $375 per day, at a cost as Is seen, of less than $23 a day. But above and beyond this financial saving, large as It Is, the State places the saving of unfortunate childhood to happy, useful manhood apd womanhood. That this is being done Is evident. Four-fifths of the children growing up In these foster homes become an integral part of their communities, finding their place in its healthful activities. The benefit of such assimilation, not only to the children, but to the families and even to the' communities themselves, can not be calculated.

FIRST BIG SNAKE STORY OF SUMMER

Palladium Fpeclatl

Lynn, Ind., May 16. James Manes, of this city, while cutting down trees In a wood on the farm of Benoni Robinson, four miles northwest of here, came off victorious in a fight with the largest snake that has been killed In this section for years. The serpent was lying curled up in the trunk of a large beech, fully 30 feet from the roots, and when it was disgorged began to show fight, and finally after its head had been cut off the body coiled about the ax handle and Jerked . it from the Woodman's hands.

The snake was nearly eight feet in length and over three Inches in diameter at its middle and an examination of its interior disclosed the fact that It had Just swallowed two fullgrown gray spuirrels. It was of a species uncommon to this section and somewhat resembled the moccasin with its peculiar markings. Just how the snake succeeded in making a ne3t in the trunk thirty feet from the ground is a mystery, as the tree was solid half way up. This is tne biggest verified snake story of the season in Eastern Indiana.

HIS WAR RECORD GIVEN

DUDLEY'S PENSION BILL.

Senate Amended It So as To Make Monthly Allowance $72 a Month and so it will Probably Stand Military Services are Matter of Record.

Probably the most Interesting of the many pension bills introduced for prominent Indianians says a Washington dispatch is one for the relief of Col. William W. Dudley, who used to be called "Blocks of Five Dudley" by his political enemies out in Indiana. Col. Dudley is one of the mildest and most deserving of men. Representative Fred Landis Introduced a bill to Increase his pension from $46 a month which he is now drawing under the general law for the loss of his right leg at the knee, to $100 a month. The house amended the bill and passed It at $72 a month. In all probabilities it will pass the senate also. Col Dudley is now 64 years old. After describing his military services as an Indiana volunteer the house committee on invalid pensions in its report says: "He was hit by a partially spent ball under the knee at the second Bull Run battle and again in the fleshy part of his lower left leg on Sept. 17, 1862, but continued with his regiment, participating In all the marches, .skirmishes, etc., until he fell at Gettysburg wounded severely In the right leg. He suffered a double exsection of his right leg and remained under medical treatment until an amputation of his leg took place followed by hemorrhages and a third operation, cutting off his leg at the knee." Lost His Savings. In November 1S91, while he was on a visit to a sick son at Alston, Mass., he accidentally caught his left foot In a frozen wheel rut and his heel and ankle caused him great pain at times; To add to his many misfortunes he lost all of his savings in an enterprise for the construction of a railroad between Washington and Baltimore which did not pan out.

PREPARING NEW STATUTE

TAX PAYING REVOLUTION

Declares that are Injust is Done to Those Persons Who for any Reason May be Delinquent The Penalty Rate is Regarded as Excessive.

Richmond and Wayne County tax officials are Interested In a bill being framed by E. D. Moffett of Hartford City, preparatory to presenting it to the next Indiana legislature, becomes a law, there will be a revolution in the paying of taxes in this State. He holds that It Is an injustice to ask delinquent taxpayers to pay 20 per cent and asserts that there is no reason ox justice why a man who fails to pay his tax by a certain ( date should pay more than the legal rate of interest, five per cent. He sets forth that it is the poor man, not the rich, who becomes delinquent, and the burden falls heavily upon the very man whom the law should protect. He has outlined his bill to a number of the leading legal lights of the state and they say it is the best bill of the kind that has yet been presented. The bill will have the support of every man in the state outside of the office holders.

EIGHT CLAIMS ALLOWED

PENDING FOR SOME TIME

Judge Fox Gives Persons for Whom John Bowman Held Bonds, Right to Collect What They Can from Estate of Deceased Banker.

Eight claims, aggregating nearly $7,000, were allowed yesterday in the Circuit Court against the estate of the late John Bowman. These claims have been pending for several weeks, and were for bonds and interest on bonds that were deposited with John Bowman, when he was cashier of the defunct Commercial Bank of Hagerstown, and which were used by Bowman without the authority of their owners. In nearly every case, the amounts allowed were the same as those ask ed by the claimants. Frank Geisler had a claim on file which was not taken up yesterday, owing to the fact that there was not sufficient evidence present. There was no argument In tne other cases, and Judge Fox allowed the claims after a short examination. The following persons received judgment In these amounts: Charles T. Knapp $2,197.33 Frank P. Allen 1,127.60 Charles Retz : 1,103.02 Mary Allen 668.34 Mary Fritz 551.45 Estate M. Conway , 549.33 Pearl Hatfield 343.50 Rachel Petty 111.23 It is not known what per cent of these judgments will be received by the claimants. The point of whether or not the depositors or the personal debtors of Bowman receive first judgment has not yet been decided. Some believe that the depositors will get share and share alike wit'h the personal debtors, while others think that the people who deposited bonds with Bowman should receive the full amount of their claims. This question will be decided in the courts.
