v GREAT GATHERING AT KANSAS CITY Secretaries Shaw and Root Will Speak at Commercial Congress. THE IMPORTANT TOPICS. THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT OF TRADE RELATIONS BETWEEN THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER STATES AND LATIN AMERICA. , IPubllshers Press! Kansas City, Mo., October 20. Two cabinet officers will go to Kansas City, Mo., early next month to speak from the same rostrum. They are Secretary Root and Shaw, .nd they will be the big drawing cards at the Trans-Miss-issirpi 'Commercial Congress, which meets here November 19. Especial interest is attached to the address of the Secret ary of State. Although he has not given any outlines of what, his speech will be, the topic announced Is ''The Possibilities of Establishing Direct Trade Relations Between the Mississippi Valley States and South and Central America." As this topic will cover a wide territory, including the Ohio and Missouri Valleys, it is believed the Secretary will dwell especially on the need for the development of the great streams, ;with. a view to transforming them from idle drainage rivers to active channels of commerce through . which will flow an ever-growing business between the states and foreign , ports. Secretary Root Is reported to have been astounded on his recent tour of South America by the extent to which Germany and Breat Britain dominate the markets of the southern half of the American continent. He is said, Also, to have discovered that this domination is due entirely to the fact that those two great commercial rivals of the United States, although possessed of the finest undeveloped system of waterways of any great country in the world, has lost this rich trade because it has failed to adopt the same policy of betterment. Congressman Ransdell of Louisiana, chairman of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress, also is to be among the speakers, and the meeting, altogether. Is likely to be especial for the Western - country.

NOVEL JUBILEE WAS HELD BY .'-DIVORCE. COLONY I

Merry Supper Overflows Into the First of the Afternoon Teas Being Planned By the "Alimony Aggregation The

vtPuMlshers' Press! New York, Oct. 20. The first afternoon - tea of a series . planned for this winter by members of the divorce colony in New York was held yester day at No. 126 East Thirty-fourth street. The hostess was Mrs. Sophia F. Diesinger,. to whom the court has just awarded alimony. An interlocu tory decree of divorce was granted to her some months ago, but not until last Friday was she admitted .to full membership in the Alimony Club. On that day the decree granting her a divorce from Albeit Diesinsjcr, a Wall street man, was made permanent. The event was celebrated by a festival on Saturday at the home of Mrs. Diesinger's father, James P. McQuade, formerly of Pittsburg. The latter also has been freed recently from matrimonial ties. The tea of yesterday afternoon was merely an overflow of the real jubilee which took place in the same apartment the night before. Among the guests were about twenty friends of Mrs. Diesinger, most of them prominent members of the divorce set. THEY OWN CEMETERY LOTS The Candidates for County Assessor In Wabash County Manage to Qualify. Wabash, Ind., Oct. 20. (Spl) After the Democratic and Republican conventions were held in this county it was discovered that neither the Republican nominee for county assessor nor the Democratic member possessed real estate, and therefore neither was eligible. Finally Joseph Sowgill of North Manchester produced a deed for a cemetery lot, and it was held this made him a freeholder. The Democrats intimated that their nominee, Henry . Fleck, also owned a graveyard lot and would so make the race. Organized to Release Prisoners. Houston, Tex., Oct. 20.

Menu Cards Were Highly Appropriate.

Mrs. Diesinger, as well as her former husband, was elated over the termination of the legal wrangle, and there was nothing to mar the merriment of the occasion. Menu Cards Appropriate. At half past ten the guests had all arrived, and an hour later they took their places at the supper t,able. At each plate lay a paper that had a familiar look to most of the guests. It was the menu written on the inside of the sheet, which was folded and resembled a court document. This was the menu, apart from the wines: Frizzled Tarrapin, Alimony Sause Beef. Cold shoulder, a la Counsel Fees. Shrimp Salad, Lawyer's Dressing. Lemon Ice Cream, Interlocutory Cakes. Fruit, Assorted Nuts, Raisins. Coffee, " Cigarettes. There was amazement at first when one of the two waiters supplied by the caterer brought ice cream and cigarettes as the opening course. But everybody laughed, thinking it a little joke of the hostess. When, however, in the next minute, the other MOTHER'S HEROIC ACT.! Saved Child From Burning to Death and Was Badly Injured Herself. Publishers PressJ Indianapolis, October 20. To save her 2-year-old baby daughter Ernestine from being burned Mrs. Edwin Cary, 230S Columbia "avenue, seized a gasoline stove which was enveloped in flames and while her arms and hands burned and her dress caught fire she hurled the stove through a rear dodr away from her child. Then, in danger of being fatally burned herself, with rare presence of mind Mrs. Cary smothered the flames of her upper garments with her skirts. At Garfield School.

MAN IS THE BEST CLUB WOMAN." Publishers Press . Chicago, Oct., 20. That "the man makes the best clubwoman" was one of the aphorisms of Mrs. Sarah S. Piatt Decker, president of the National Federation of Women's club, in an address before the West Ed Woman's club, Ashland boulevard and, Monroe street. Mrs. Decker astonished her audience with her generous-tribute to the other sex. "They get things done," she said, "and they are so fine and loyal That is what we need; loyalty and democracy. I think sometimes that the whole trouble with the woman's club movement is primarily religious. , "That doesn't hold true of the men. They are out in the world and they get a good deal of intolerance rubbed out of them. That other woman, that woman who is different" from you, that woman who is a little less cultured, a trifle 'impossible," J she belongs in this movement and we ought to let her in." She protested against the women's conventional objection to newspaper publicity, declaring that it was "glorious" to be able to keep track of woman's work through the press.

rr waiter, none too steady on his feet, brought in coffee and fruit, Mrs. Diesinger rushed for the telephone. She called up the caterer and demanded waiters who were not divorced from their wits. Presently two sober ones arrived and the others retired. She Will Try Again. Mrs. Diesinger, .who is beautiful and vivacious, was the life of the party. After the supper she entertained her guests with the aid of Heinrich, a Great Dane, and Gretchen, a daschund. She has Jaught them to perform some remarkable acrobatic feats. ' The party was not only a festival to celebrate the departure of No. 1, but to herald as well the arrival of a No. 2. Mrs. Diesinger announced that soon she will become the bride of Francis J. Tyler, a tenor singer, who is a member of the 'Madam Butterfly" company. Mr. Tyler is without experience as a principal in a. divorce suit, but the colony, at least that portion of it that heard the announcement, regards the match as a suitable one, and many glasses were tinkled to the happy pair. NEW CASTLE ENTERPRISE. Raised $50,000 in a Single Day to Lo cate Factory That Will Employ 1,000 Men. New Castle, Ind., Oct. 20 (Spl) In a single day of twelve hours over $50,000 was raised in this city for the location of a factory and the record is one undoubtedly not - excelled by any town or city in the state near the size of New Castle. The result was sufficient to amaze even those who have been accustomed to raising money for factories, but it is also a source of much gratification. No trouble is anticipated in raising another $50,000 in the next week, which will assure the city of a factory employing 1,000 men. The progressiveness of the city has been shown in the past but the record of this one day is an unheard of one. Palladium Want Ads Pay.

TWO ADDRESSES BT MRS. M'RAE

Session of Wayne County Teachers' Association in Richmond Yesterday. MEW OFFICERS ELECTED W. D. COOK OF GREENSFORK, NAMED AS PRESIDENT OTHER MATTERS CONNECTED WITH THE SESSION. (By Prof. W. A. Fiske.) Yesterday at High School Hall the October session of the Wayne County Teachers Institute was held. This meeting, which was formerly held on Friday and Saturday following Thanksgiving, is now divided into two separate meetings, one of which is held the third Saturday in October, the other in February. The program for yesterday's meeting was exceptionally fine and was worthy the time and attention of Richmond's educational people. Prof. E. E. Oldaker, superintendent of the Centerville schools, and president of the association, called the meeting to order at 10:00 a. m., and introduced Rev. Alfred T. Ware, pastor of the East Main Street Friends' church, who conducted the devotional exercises. The addresses of the day were by Mrs. Emma Mont McRae, professor of English Literature in Purdue "University, and showed throughout, the work of an artist, which Mrs. McRae surely is in her line. She is a rather large and dignified woman, and as she stands straight, and speaks out with a good, strong, clear voice, without even a note as aid, one is made to feel that she is thoroughly acquainted with the subjects she presents. The speaker chose for her morning subject 'Shakespeare's View of Human Life." She spoke in a most entertaining manner for -an hour on this subject and presented a splendid anal ysis of this great English writer, it is not so much the way Shakespeare did his work that interests us,- Mrs. McRae said, as i is that true life is reflected from all &i ever wrote, and that he comes to us a great teacher, portraying the phylosophy of life. He reflects the finest life of the age of Elizabeth and Merrie England. The speaker divided the life of Shakespeare into three periods. vine first period, she said, covered his youth, when his imagination was viviri. jiiwl -he dealt more with fantastic notions, the lighter vein of thought. and the music of the spheres, such things as might be represented Dy 'Mid-Summer Night's Dream," "Two fjentipmpn of Verona." "As You Like It." etc. Tn the second period he lays aside the fancies of youth and looks out up on a hroRder life. Here he furnisnes us the great tragedies, the history of England, and shows so forcibly the rlfmth of human suffering, in every ma nointine out that the deed al ways returns upon the doer, not only an hut unon others by association. This was not the spirit of the Eliza bethan age, and in this respect, Shakespeare was living far beyond his time. The third period shows Shakes peare an introspective being. nis thoughts were turned within, and he felt that "the times were out of joint," and that his own life was not just what it should be. Afternoon Addpess. The afternoon address, for which the speaker selected as her subject, "Thp flhild Among Books," should have been heard by every mother in Richmond. Mrs. McRae thinks tne ottontion of both teacher and parent should be turned to the best means adopted to get the child to use doors to the greatest advantage; that the teacher should not only teach books, but above all should teach children how to use books, so that when they get out in the great school of life hov will not be Helpless. iney should be trained to become investigators in books, and while reading books understanding, snouia noi uu oa oo mnnv do. to get the real gist of the subject. The speaker said that while the number of books is legion, t thprp. will never be too , many books of the first class sort, and that it is the business of the teacher ana parent as well, to give that training that will bring the child always in with the few best books. Some characteristics of books that most appeal to childhood were given. The first of these is adventure. The child wants adventure because he is living in a world of imagination and his imaginative powers must be re spected and cultivated. a spcond characteristic is pathos. It should not be that pathos that would cause him to become acquainted with the gruesome, but that which would bring out in him the finer qualities of feeling. Humor is another important characteristic of children's books, while a fourth is courage. A book containin sr a story of courageous deeds will bring lasting value to the growing child in the way of upbuilding character. Then, as a fifth characteristic children's books should have that quality of cleanliness and , uplifting which will enable them to hold a high head and possess a feeling that they are better in every way. Tne greatest test of the value of a book is that its reading makes us better and cre ates within us a lasting desire to be come better. If we jrnay enable the child to gather a little here and there of this great power of mastering books in such a way that he will become better, and, there will be devel

oped within him a nobler, and better

life, a great mission will , be accomplished. The New Officers. At the close of this - address the nominating committee made its report and the following persons were elected to office for the next year: President D. W. Cook, of Greeensfork. First Vice-President Le Roy Kimmel, of Milton. Second Vice-President Ora White, of Wayne Township. Secretary Miss Alice Test, of Richmond. Treasurer Superintedent Jordan, of Richmond. The treasurer's report as submitted showed receipts of $233.90; expendi tures $100.75; balance on hand, Oct. 1, 1906, $133.13. The Resolutions. Following was the report of the committee on resolutions: 1. We heartily endorse the administration of our present County superintendent and Board of Education and appreciate their efforts on behalf of the teachers and schools of Wayne county. 2. We believe that the state legislature should enact laws at the coming ssslon that would tend to further recompense teachers and secure for them a longer tenure of service. 3. We endorse State Superintendent Cotton in his efforts to secure better salaries for teachers and better environments for work through his monthly bulletins. " 4. We believe that more Interest will be aroused with the public and among teachers if the subjects of . the lectures were announced on the programs. 5. We wish to extend our hearty sympathy to Prof. Hodgin of Earlham College, in his very serious illness and extreme suffering. 6. We extend our thanks to Mrs. McRae for her helpful discussions in the field of literature. . FRIENDS TO HAVE PART PLANS OF REV. MR. CASE. South 8th Street Friends Church to Enter Vigorously Into the Evangelistic Movement Which Will Begin in Richmond the Present Week. The South Eighth Street Friends hflfve completed their arrangements for entering vigorously into the concerted evangelistic movement through out the city, which has been noticed frequently in these columns of late. They have secured the assistance of John L. Kittrell, of Farmland, Indiana, one of the best known evangelists among Friends. Mr. Kittrell entered this work in his, native state of Tennessee, coming into prominence among Friends later In Wilmington Yearly Meeting, and finally identifying himself with Indiana Yearly Meeting. While at present engaged In pastor al work he is essentially an evange list and has more than doubled the membership of his charge during the past year. In recognition of his gift for evangelistic service It has been the custom for a number of years to give him sole charge of the Sunday night service during Indiana Yearly Meeting. In addition to John L. Kittrell It is expected that the South Eighth St church will be favored with the help of Josephus Harkins, the Evangelis tic Superintendent of Wilmington Yearly Meeting, a man of ripe expe rience and strong Christian character. His presence and counsels will be es pecially valuable during the coming effort. These two evangelists seconded by the pastor of the church, will do all in their power to advance the course of righteousness in this city, and the public is cordially invited to all the services at this church. SEVERAL QUIT PLACES. Telephone Construction Men Did Not Like Plan of Putting up Cash Bond for Tools. A number of men employed by-the Richmond Home Telephone Company quit their jobs yesterday because they did not approve of the plan, of the company to compel the men to put up a cash bond for their tools. A hand axe and a monkey wrench, provided by the company, for use in construc tion work, were provided the men and they were asked to put up a cash bond of $1.50 for the same, the money to be returned them when the job was completed if the tools were re turned. If lost, the bond was forfeit ed. Eight or nine of the men de clined to work under this plan and ceased work.
