Indianapolis, June 18 The Inter state League seems to be on the verge of collapse, Lima having withdrawn today. President Chapel claims that the umpire gave him a raw deal both at Ft. Wayne and Anderson and at Marlon today, when an alleged foul ball to left field was declared fair. He walked off the field and sent his players home. Flint defeated Saginaw today by a score of 2 to 1. THE PITCHER. Tho pitcher takes a telling pose. And holds the ball on high, Then turns it with his finger tips, His new incurve to try. Then swiftly swings his strong right arm The vicious deed is done! The umpire dodges skillfully And hoarsely shouts, "Ba-all one! Tho pitcher takes his pose again, Both feet firm on the ground; Again he holds the ball on high, And slowly turns it round. Then once more he uncoils himself, The batsman to undo; The ball smacks in the catcher's glove The umpire shouts, "Ba-all two!" The pitcher fiercely grinds his heel In desneratlon grim; Once more he holds the ball on high: All eyes are fixed on him. Once more he swiftly lets it drive Then fiercely slaps his knee Because the umpire coldly cries, In foghorn tones, Ba-all three! The pitcher's face is firm and set, A wild gleam in his eye Shows his determination, as He holds the ball on high; He hurls it in the bat swings round ' And meets it with a thud! The ball soars o'er the left-field fence! The pitcher's name is mud! Somerville Journal. The Tent Meetings. The Rev. Mr. Walters, pastor of the Methodist church at Economy, is making extensive preparations for the camp meeting which is to be held there under the auspices of the Meth odist church of the Richmond district during July. The Rev. Fenwick Reed, one of the best known evangelists in the west will be present throughout the series of meetings. Glioat or Ulnatonf A minister of the gospel, according to this tale, was walking to and fro in a long passage that ran through the bour.e and meditating upon his next 6ermon. There brushed by him a housemaid. He watched her pass and enter his study. Fearing that she would disarrange his papers, he hurried after her, went into his study and no one was there. No means of egress was possible but by the one door through which he had seen the girl enter. He rang the bell and the housemaid came down from the top of the house, where she had been performing her duties. And the unusual part of the story is that nothing happened no one sickened and died. The young woman married happily. And yet that minister of the gospel is sure that he saw that housemaid pass him. Nor to this day does his stout and happy matron know that she was ever in two places at once. Wealth In Old Roman Times. Our wealth, as much as we boast of it, is comparatively puny as compared with the wealth of men of old. There was Mark Antony's house that was sold to Messala for over $500,000, and Scaurns' villa was burned at a loss of over $12,000,000. Otho spent over $14, 000.000 in finishing one wing of a palace commenced by Nero. Nearly $30,000,000 was found in the cofTers of Tiberiu9, and Caligula spent 1t all in less than a year. Paulus could make' a tridiag present to the mother of Bru tus of a pearl wi rth over $30,000. So let us be modest. We are a cheap people, even the wealthiest of us.

NOW AFTER PRIZE MONEY WILL WRITE TWO POEMS Bard of Alamo Thinks he Has Good Chance to Win Two Hundred Dollars Offered by a Grand Army Post at New Bedford, Mass. Palladium Special. Crawfordsville, Ind., June 18. James Buchanan Elmore, the bard of Alamo, has succumbed to the prevailing spirit of commercialism at last, and has engaged in a competitive poetical contest. A Grand Army post at New Bedford, Mass.. has offered tv. o prizes of $100 each for the best poems on "Liberty" and "The Army Post." The prize poems are to be read at a G. A. R. ceremonial to be held there this fall, and the bard of Alamo entertains hopes that one or both will bear his trademark. Mr. Elmore is not disposed to "hog the ring," but having turned his lyre, the sweet singer of Ripley found that he could reel off two poems just as easily as one. This accounts, therefore, for the fact that two tuneful creations of his fancv are now en route to New Bedford to await the pleasure of the committee on awards. With anything like a fair "shake," Mr. Elmore feels that he should land one of these prizes at least. He is especially hopeful for the "Army Post" poem, which he admits is one of his very best efforts. It is written in the meter of "America," and will make an admirable song substitute, so the author declares, for the national-hymn. WANTS 8th ST. IMPROVED Councilman Englebert Asks That Thoroughfares be Repaired Says it is Plowed Up. Councilman Englebert last evening asked that the board of works take some action in repairing North Eighth street from Main to North A street. According to Mr. Englebert the street is in miserable condition and "is so plowed up that a person could plant seeds in it." Mayor Zimmerman recommended that North Eighth street and all other streets in the business section of the city, running into Main street, should be paved with brick. Councilman Deuker stated that Ft. Wayne Ave. from C to Main street should be improved as soon as possible. Tlie Bis Clock of Franee. The works of a clock made for the Cathedral of St Gervais d'Avranches weigh two tons. There are five sets of wheels, and the hours are struck on a bell weighing over six tons by a clapper of 220 pounds. There are four faces to this clock, which Is the largest in France. Smoklns the Xarglle. A Greek thus tells how the narglle Is smoked by his brethren: "Only pure tobacco is used in the nargile. It is grown expressly for the purpose in Persia. The weed there is called tumbeky. This kind of tobacco is first washed two or three times by the man who keeps the restaurant. lie puj it under a faucet and squeezes the juice out. Otherwise the tobacco would be too strong. Then, when the smoke of it is drawn through the water, the tobacco having, of course, been dried first, all the nicotine is deposited in the water, and a delightful and innocuous smoke Is the result" The Test.

was signed by about fifty business men. ' Alley Agreement Laid Over. The agreement entered Into by the Central Union Telephone Company and the Board of Public Works, for the placing of the Main street wires of that company in conduits in the first alley north of Main street, was presented to council for ratification but this action was not taken. Councilman Leftwick moved that this agreement be laid over until the next council meeting and the motion was carried. A committee composed of Councilmen O'Neal, Leftwick and Deuker, was named by Mayor Zimmerman to assist the city attorney in revising the conduit ordinance and the agreement entered into by the Board of Public Works and the Central Un ion Telephone Company was referred to this commutee and the city attorney. In case the conduit ordinance passes at the special council meeting this evening, the agreement will be a dead letter. What Home Company Wants. It was stated to the Palladium last night on authority that the Bell Tele phone interests which own the Central Union Company, have already made direct offers to purchase tho Home Company's plant. It was also made known to the Palladium that the Home Company, unless it receives from council a new franchise, which will make concessions equal to those offered to the Central Union Company, will, in all probability, sell to the Central Union. According to the state ment made to the Palladium, the Home company does not make this proposition as a threat and it does not desire to be so understood. Under the present conditions the two companies are competing for business, but, it is asserted, the Central Union operates under an open franchise while the Home Company has a franchise which has a maximum rate. In return for granting the Central Union company the privilege of placing wires underground, council has asked that company to accept a franchise which fixes a maximum limit for service. The Home Company, it was declared, only asks for the same consideration a maximum limit precisely the same as that offered the Central Union Company. This, it was stated, would mean a slight increase in rates, but in return for this the Home company not only signifies its willingness to place its wires underground if council so directs, but it also signifies its willingness and its desire to reconstruct its entire plant, putting in the most modern equipment that can be purchased and placing the service on the very highest standard. Unless this can be done, it was stated, the Home company feels that it will not be upon an equal plane with the Central Union in future competition and therefore would stand ready to transfer its holdings to the company now holding the open franchise. Bell Company Will Ignore It. Superintendent of Construction, Robert Cline, of the Bell Telephone Company stated last evening after council that in case the ordinance introduced by Mr. Leftwick was passed at the special council meeting, the Central Union Company would Ignore it and insist on operating under the perpetual franchise given thfs company many years ago. He stated if necessary the Central Union would take the matter to the courts. The Central Union Telephone company objects to the Leftwick ordinance because it contains a rate clause. Councilman Englebert stated In council that the statement recently made by the Central Union Company that they never entered into an agreement or accepted a franchise which contained a maximum rate clause did not hold water. "I took the trouble to telegraph the mayor of Evansvllle asking them is the franchise recently granted that, company in that ciy contained a rate clause and I learned that it did" said Mr. Englebert. The following are copies of the messages sent to the mayor of Evansville by Mr. Englebert and the reply received: Mayor of Evansville, Ind. Did Bell people accept limitation of rates on renewal of their francise recently H. H. Engelbert. The message in reply reads: H. H. Englebert, Richmond, Ind. Bell's new franchise limited to $5 for business, $2.50 residence straight, $3.o0 for business, $1.50 for residence for party lines with 10 per cent increase when 5500 lines, not phones but lines. J. W. Eoehne, mayor of Evansville. Mr. Cline explained last evening that the reason that his company had accepted a franchise with a rate clause at Evansville was because the franchise the company was operating under had expired and that they were forced, by the order of the court to accept this franchise with the city of Evansville. ROOTS OWNED THE AUTO Warrant Issued for Well Known Connersville Man for Speeding Too Fast at Greenfield. (Palladium Special. Greenfield, Ind., June 18. An affidavit charging the owner of automobile No. 49, with driving his machine through the streets of this city at an unlawful rate of speed was made by Prosecuting Attorney Charles L. Tindall, and a warrant was issued Saturday for his arrest. The owner was found to be Hon. Francis T.

CONCERT WAS 1
ENJOYABLE AFFAIR Art Association Feels Very Grateful to Starr Piano Co. for Favor. THE PROGRAM IN FULL THE VOCAL EFFORTS OF MISS BAKER WERE PARTICULARLY APPRECIATED AS SHE IS WELL KNOW HERE. One of the most enjoyable features of the Art Exhibit of 1906 was the concert given last evening through the courtesy of the Starr Piano Company, in one of the upstairs rooms at the Garfield School. The young women taking part in the program are all students at the Indianapolis Conservatory of music. The program consisted of selections by Miss ElizabethWarderLemmon, soprano, and Miss Nona Baker, contralto, and by Miss Alva Lou Owens, reader, Miss Florence Surface, pianist, and Miss Harriett Fisher, violinist. The young women all rendered their selections well and were applauded by the large audience. The reading of Miss Owens was especially fine and received unstinted praise. "The Toads and The Warts" from "The Real Dairy of a Real Boy" was exceedingly well rendered, and showed that Miss Owens is a reader and elocutionist of ability. Miss Baker Well Known Here. The vocal efforts of Miss Lemmon and Miss Baker were also of the best. Miss Baker is well known in Richmond, having visited here. Her home is in Winchester. Miss Fisher, the violinist, rendered several difficult selections. The playing of Miss Surface the pianist, was unexcelled, her rendition of Tarantelle, Opera 27. Number 2, from the work of MoszkowskI, being especially fine. The recital was a genuine musical treat to the members of the Art Association and their friends, who gathered to hear the concert. The program was as follows: Tarantelle, Op. 27, No. 2..Moszowski L' Amour Teresa Del Riego "The Theatre Party" and "Mr. Bobb" Hegan From Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch. Romanze Wieniawsky Elizabbeth's Prayer Wagner perpetual Motion Weber The World Within Thy Heart Eversole "The Toads" and "The Warts".... t Shute From the Real Diary of a Real Boy.

Gottschalk VOTING THE MONEY WOULD BE ILLEGAL (Continued iTrom Page One.) in express words; as are necessarily incident to the powers expressly granted, os as are essential to its declaredobjects and purposes. (Scott vs. City of La Porte, 162 Ind. 34.) A municipality cannot expend mon ey for objects foreign to the purpose of its organization. (162 Ind. 56.) The statute under which a munlcl pal corporation is created is its or ganic law. Such a corporation can only exercise the following powers: First, those granted in express words, second, those necessarily implied or Incidental to the powers expressly granted; and, third, these essential to the declared objects and purposes of the corporation, not simply convent ent, but indispensible, (162-Ind-43) and cases cited. No one could say that municipal corporations lnt Indiana were organized for the purpose of celebrating Centennial Anniversa ries. If no power is given a city to appropriate money for such purposes, an election would add nothing to the power of the Common Council to make the appropriation. In aggregate corporations, as a general rule, the act and will of a majority is deemed In law the act and will of the whole as the act of the corporate body. The consequence is that a mi nority must be bound, not only without but against their consent. Such obligation may extend to every on erous duty, to pay money to an un limited amount, to perform services, to surender lands and the like. It is obvious, therefore, that if this liability were to extend to unlimited and Indefinite objects, the citizen, by being a member of a corporation, might be deprived of his most valuable personal rights and liberties. The security against this danger Is in a steady adherence to the principal stated, that municipal corporations can only exercise their power over their respective members, for the accomplishment of limited and well-defined objects.

The plant will be similar to that in the Starr building and will cost about $4,000. ,
