MAYOR DUNNE IGNORES RE QUEST OF COLORED PEOPLE OF HIS CITY AND WILL PRESIDE AT THE MEETING. Publishers Press. Chicago, Nov. 25. Stories that a bomb is to bo hurled into Orchestra fall while Senator Tillman is lecturig there Tuesday night have aroused Ihe police to the most elaborate pre cautions for the protection of the Foutbern statsman and his audience. The threats of violence are hard o trace to their sources, but they re so numerous and so much appreensive is shown by the peaceful neroes that the police are treating hem with much respect. One negro woman, thought to be nsane, who has sworn publicly to ill Senator Tillman, has been loekd up and will be kept a prisoner unil the lecture is over. Her name is ot known. Chief of police Collins has announcd that though in complice with Sentor Tillman's expressed wish, neg ops will be admitted to the hall, they ill be confined to the gallery under eavy guard and that all suspicious ersons will tie searched. Mayor Dunne Will Preside. Mayor Dunne has been decided on o to preside at the lecture, despite ho request from a delegation of rominent negroes that he .prevent he address or, at least, refuse to sentlon it by his presence. These are the times that try men ouls," says the Broad Ax a negro lublication, in commenting on the oniing lecture. "They are cringing owards and servile slaves who do ot dare be in the right with two or hree; they who commend the brutalties of the past or the present, assist o sow the seed for future crimes and oad the dice against themselves. Therefore, it is the solemn duty f every per on residing in Chicago o bend his best efforts to prevent ny unlawful act on the part of the eople Tuesday night, wile'Senator illman, the 'bold and bloody advoate of mob and lynch law for colored nen, women and children, will be enaged in speaking at Orchestra Hall. Still Hard After Negroes. Senator Tillman, who spoke last ight at South Haven, Mich., did little o allay the excitment. "The youngr element of negroes aro being aught," he said, "that they are equal o the white men and are endeavoring o get these rights, led by Booker Washington, a half breed, who seeks political position. I hope the North will heed the. R-arning and abolish the Fifteenth Amendment, but I doubt if it will do his, so the South must resort to the Bhotgun. I advocate a passport system, so fcve may keep track of these animals. ! jynch law is all we have left I do1 lot believe in slavery, but we will not put up with equality." COLISEUM TO BE PUT IN SHAPE FOR SKATES The Richmond Athletic Association which controls the Coliseum feels pretty well assured that the skating craze is still rampant and that the Jpresent season will prove as joyous Jto the skaters as in the past few sea- j tons. The Coliseum's skating surface j twill today be subjected to a special rourse of treatment which will render t in fine condition for the opening bn Wednesday night, Thanksgiving eve. 0TH HAVE THEIR BILLS nator Kirkman and Representa tive Ratliff Have Some Measures to Advocate. Both R. E. Kirkman, Senator-elect, land Walter S. Ratliff, Representativelect will in all probability have sevral measures to present to the forth coming session of the General As sembly of Indiana, but neither is up rro this time ready to announce defi nitely what bills he will introduce. Owing to the fact that the Republican majority in the coming session of the Legislature will be much decreased when compared with that of past sessions for ten years, the patronage twill be a puzzling matter. Tho Re publicans wiU-'have the. power to name tho forces of clerks, door-keep ers, etc.. tor both branches of the legislature, but the appointments will 'be made by a smaller number of members than heretofore. All over the state the word conies ftbat Senators and Representatives are being beseiged with applications for places, and it . understood that there are numbers of applicants in Wayne county. The "jobs' are good for sixty da3"s only.

FEELING IS OF THE BEST

I If Chancellor Von Buelow Resigns From Kaiser's . Cabinet it Will be on Account of III Health, so Reliable Reports Say. Publishers' Press. Berlin, Nov. 25. The reports that "an"or v on wueiow is auout j. i v n T - i . to resign his office may be accepted as one of these rumors inseperable from the German political situation, and according to well informed circles there is absolutely no truth in the rumor. At no time during Prince Buelows brilliant career has he been in such favor as he is at present, and those who are acquainted with the personal relations between the Chancellor and his imperial master know that coolness or tension is out of the question. Since the Chancellor resumed work at Berlin he has been repeatedly visited by the Kaiser and they have resumed the old cordial relations of a year ago. However, should Prince Buelow resign in the near future, it is said, it will be ou account of his health and not through any differences between cimself and the Kaiser. MAY ADD ANOTHER TEAM Approach of Winder Shows Need of Additional Force for Gathering Garbage Etc. It is possible fhat with the approach of winter the force of ash and garbage gatherers employed by the city will be slightly increased to meet the emergencies which cold weather always brings but which in recent years have not been met. Thf ac cumulation of ashes during the winter sometimes gets beyond the force, especially during the snowy season when the length of the trips of the wagons must be curtailed. In order to keep the alleys of the city free from great quantities of eb.s of this sort, it will be necessary to increase the force with at least another team. BUSY SEASON HAS BEGUN From Now Till Early Spring Different Secret Societies of City Will be Busy. All of Richmond's secret societies have now started in on their busy season. From Row till early spring the lodges, or most of them, will have many candidates to receive the derees. According to the fraternal so ciety statistics of Indiana, Richmond s one of the cities which has the lar gest membership in Odd Fellows, Red Men and Knights of Pythias, Masons, Elks, Eagles and Druids. Most of the other secret societies are also represented in Richmond with j good sized memberships

THE APOSTLE CRUCIFIED

ROMAN PRO CONSUL, ACCORDING TO LEGEND HAD HIM TIED TO CROSS WHERE HE DIED FROM HUNGER AND THIRST. Fridaj', November 30, will be cele brated by churches of Richmond as the day of St. Andrew, the apostle, the son of Jonas, a fisnerman of Bethsaida, in Galilee. He was the broth' er of Simon Peter, but whether older or younger Scripture does not say. He was one of the two disciples of John the Baptist, to who the latter exclaimed as he saw Jesus pass by: "Behold the Lamb of God!" On hearing these words the two individu als in question followed Jesus and having accosted him, were invited by Jesus to remain with him for the day Thereafter Andrew went in quest of his brother Simon Peter and brought him to Jesus, a circumstance which has invested Andrew with a special preeminence. After the ascension the name of Andrew is not mentioned in the New Testament. He is believed to have traveled as a missionary through Asiatic and European Scythia; to have afterward passed through Thrace, Macedonia and Epirus into Achaia, and to have suffered martyrdom A. D. 70 at the city of Patra. , Starved on the Cross. T The Roman . pro-consul, it is said, caused Andrejv to be first scourged and then crucified by being fastened by cords instead of nails to the cross to produce a lingering death by hunger and thirst. The' instrument of punishment, instead of being T-shaped, was in the form of an X. It is said that a Christian woman of high rank, named Maximela, caused thetody of Andrew to be embalmed and buried; and that in the early part of the fourth 'century it was removed by the Emperor Constantine to Constantinople, where it was de- j posited in a church erected in honor of the twelve apostles. It is further said that iu 368 A. D, a pious Greek monk named Regulus conveyed the remains of the saint to Scotland and deposited them on the eastern coast of Fife, where he built - a church. Here afterward arose the city - and cathedral of St. Andrew. Whatever credit may be given to this legend, Andrew has been regarded from time immemorial as the patron saint of Scotland.

ANGRY AT ADVICE YET WILL HEED IT John Quincy Adams Tells How Chicago Boys Can be Like .t Boston Youths. ENVIRONMENT NOW WRONG EFFORT WILL BE MADE TO HAVE ANTI CIGARETTE' ORDINANCE PASSED AND TO GET 8-HOUR SCALE FOR CLERKS. Publishers Press! Chicago, Nov. 25. Angered by an assertion from Dr. John Quincy Adams, of Boston, that Chicago boys are not up to the standard of the "Hub, - jbIe. dignified picture," he told the j league, "a hydrant poem, a lamp post ja g'em a puDlic building an ideal "Tnjs is not tne case in Chicago. j The streets are filthy. Hideous billt boards line the. boulevards. The city hall is fenced in to protect pedes trians from the crumbling walls. Surrounding PrPevent Development "With such surroundings, no matter how hard thej' may try, Chicago boys can never become ideal citizens." "I hope," said the League's chairman, when the resolution in support of the Chicago boy was adopted by the organization, "that Dr. Adams doesn't think they have ideal boys in Boston. Chicago wrants good, strong, strenuous boys and that's what it's got." The League took Dr. Adams' hint, however, to the extent of taking action in support of two movements to protect the city's youth. One committee will wait on department store managers Monday to ask them to divide their forces into eight hour shifts during the holidays. Another will be used to use its influence with the city council Tuesday for an anticigarette ordinance.

THE FEDERAL COURT BILL Said That the Measure Providing for Courts in This State Will Get a Hearing. Indianapolis, Nov. 25, (Spl.) The Indiana federal court bill did not die at the expiration of the last session of Congress but it is pending on the House calendar with a favorable report from the Committee on Judiciary The committee says: "The bill creates seven judicial divisions in the district of Indiana and provides a place of holding court in each division. Indiana now constitutes a single district without divisions. It has five places of holding court: Indianapolis, Evansville, New Albany, Ft. Wayne and Hammond, but there are no statuatory provisions requiring actions to be brought or tried at any particular place. Actions may be filed at any of these places and process runs throughout the State." ! I TO EXTERMINATE HAWK E. Earle, Deputy State Game Commissioner Would Offer Bounty of 50 Cents Each. E. E.

"I have not talked With any of the senators or representatives from the south, but it is my opinion they will all cordially support the action of the President," declared the Senator today in an interview. He continued: "Assuming that he possessed the power, I think all fair minded men who desire to see the army an orderly and law-abiding organization, will cordially indorse the positive manner in which the President has exercised his power.

THE AMOUNT ALREADY RAISED FOR SPLENDID CAUSE REPRESENTS AN AVERAGE CONTRIBUTION OF ABOUT $30.

One week of soliciting for the new $100,000 Y. M. C. A. building is ended, and $9,52S is subscribed to the undertaking. The second week's canvass will begin early this morning, and those back of the movement aro in-high hopes that the amount will bo doubled before the week ends next Saturday noon. The showing made last week was exceptionally good, considering "tho fnAl I.. ..II . . . mvt uittv 'iuj Mium roniriouiors were appealed to. A prominent member of the committee of twelve, which is composed of the business men back of the scheme, stated Saturday night, that only five hundred cards had been distributed last week, and in many cases the persons for whom they were intended had not been broached on tne matter or giving to the cause, owing to the large amount of work the canvassers had on. hand. Ho stated that it was his oninion that not moro ' than three hundred people out of tho five hundred had been called upon, and that the $9,528 was raised among these three hundred people. He said that many people who had been approached to give to the causo, had taken their cards and told the committeemen that they wished time to think over the matter before they decided to give. In many instgices these people are expected to .' give more than tho amount which their card calls for. 1 Solicitors Seldom Failed. The men in charge of the soliciting last week, were seldom turned down. and those people who gave contributed ail that the Y. M. C. A. executive committee had expected of them. Many women are showing their interest in tho campaign by giving larger amounts than their appropria tion card calls for. - ' When asked it the returns were all he expected, Secretary Brown, i charge of the work, stated: o, not exactly, although the " people of the city are responding very well. Yen know that wo men in the Y. M. C. A. work, expect greater things than in, many instances can be accomplish ed. It is natural for us to do ro when we make it our life work to promote the Y. M. C. A. In other words we are probably over enthusiastic. You can say that we are going to hav a Y. M. O. A. in this city, and we aro going to have a $100,000 building. I am not over confident in thB, but the spirit of the people back of the affair shows that the matter will not bo dropped until the association buildins is a reality. , Sharon Jones on Subject. Sharon E. Jones, one of the members of the executive committee, stated last night that It was the intention to make the association thoroughly representative of the poople, and it was the intention of the committed to let the people's money build the home for the association In this city. He said that the wealthier men of the city would not be called upon to contribute, until it was known that all the money that could possibly be raised from the middle class of . tho people of the city had been turned in. The business men of the city will bo appealed to in the course of the next few weeks and it Is expected that at that time tba amount given will grow with leaps and bounds. Ton'ght the young men's committee, which is doing such good work : jn the canvass, will hold its woekly STATE Y. M. C. A.
