TUESDAY CLUB IS GIVEII HUE PAPER

George C. Hitt, of Indianapolis Spoke on "John Paul . Jones" at Library. A SPLENDID BIOGRAPH '.IV ELY DISCUSSION FOLLOWED THE PAPER BEING LEAD BY AT TORNEY JONATHAN NEWMANOTHERS TOOK PART. "Witnout a doubt the "Giograpfcy of John Paul Jones, Hero and Patriot, which was read by George C. Hitt, of Indianapolis, last evening at the Tuesday club, was one of the ablest and best of any that have been heard in Richmond for years. He began with the early life of John Paul Jones or, rather, with the life of John Paul as he was then called. "Lo, when but a lad, in July, 1759, the new brig "Friendship," not a fortnight off the stocks, was lying In her home harbor of Whitehaven, Scotland, being fitted to her first suit of Bails, he was chos n with a crew, picked from among the fisher people of Arbigland. "Jt was a blowing July afternoon An offshore breeze, now freshening to a gale, was tossing the Solway into choppy billows. Most of the inhab itants of Arbigland were down at the mouth of; the little tide water creek that formed the harbor of the village, eagerly watching a small fishing yawl. The catter craft was beating up in the teeth of the gale, striving for the shelter of the creek. The crew of the yawl counted but one. and he a lad of twelve. His right hand held the tiller; with the left ho slacked or hauled the sheets, and shifted the sail, when he went about: The yawl heeled over on the star board tack would she make It. or be blown out to sea? But with a mas ter hand, the yawl was brought safe ly Into the creek's mouth, and lay rocking at her moorings as lightly as a gull. The lad leaped ashore, and, smiling through the salt water that dripped from his face, declared his willingness to sail 'prentice in the new brig, "Friendship." And after this fashion was it that the fisher boy, John Paul, afterward Admiral Paul Jones, was given his baptism of the sea, '"Fourteen years later, when ho had written himself 'Captain for seven years, he came to America and was adopted by a Virginia planter, who, when ho died, left his estate to Captain Paul, and he was thereafter known as John Paul Jones. It was about this time, before the Declaration of Independence, that the Continental congress asked his advise with regard to a navy for the colonies, and although he had been in command of several ships, there were five captains appointed ahead of him and he but a lieutenant, but he waswilling to forgo an appointment as captain, on the grounds that it was 'country first and self second. Later he was made captain of the Ranger and captured a British vessel of superior size and finally received the I3ouhomme Richard from, the King of France. It was while In command of this ship that the famous fight w ith the Serapis, - under Pierson oc curred, in which he attained the vie lory, aitnougn the serapis was a larger vessel, and carried a larger crew and greater, armaments. It was over the 'Richard that the first Ameri can flag, made from the silk gowns of the maids of Plymouth, waved and after the victory, when the 'Richard's crew had been transferred to the decks of the Serapis, and the 'Rich ard" fired, the last thing to be seen was the flag floating above the hun dreds of brave men that went down with the ship. "Pa :il Jones then returned to Amer ica and a'ded the Continental conpress. Later he took service under Kathcrine II., emperor of Russia, as vice admiral of her fU t. At the out break of the French revolution he was called upon to take the part of the people against the king, and was about to do so. when death called him at the age of 43 years. Thus rnded the life of the founder of the American navy." Quit a lively discussion followed the reading of the paper, led by Mr Jonathan Newman. Others taking part .were: Mrs. IJda Mendenhall, Mrs. James Morrison, Dr. X. S. Cox, Dr. Stevenson, Dr. C. S. Pond, Will iam Dudley Foulke and W. K. Bradbury. Xext Tuesday, Jan. 15, President Robert 'Kelly will address the club on "The Soul of the New Psychology." itrn nannre Valuable. lien manure is easily four times &a valuable for fertilizing purposes as the average barnyard product; therefore it ,;Will pay you to try saving it this winter if you never have done so before, says the Nebraska Independent.

ELOPERS WILL TRY AGAIN

WERE OUTWITTED ONCE Sister of Mrs. Hartje of Pittsburg, Stopped by Her Father When She Tried to Run Away and Marry Man of Choice. - JPublishers" Press Toungstown, O., Jan. 8. The elopement of Miss Ida Scott, 17, daughter of John F. Scott of Pittsburg, and Howard Lappe, 24, was nipped in the bud when the young couple were taken into custody on information from the father of the girl, sent from Pittsburg. She is a sister of Mrs. May Scott Hartje of Pittsburg, who was the defendant In the recent divorce case there and is remarkably handsome. The yoang man is a member or a prominent family there. The father and Helen Scott, another sister, followed on a later train, and they returned to Pittsburg together. "It's all right," said Lappe, "we will get married yet. They were smarter than we were this time, but we'll get married some of these days, won't we, Ida?" "You bet," responded the eirl. IS TO PROMOTE PEACE! William T. Stead of London is Making Trip Around the World for Purpose. HE SPEAKS FOR ENGLAND SAYS THAT AT THE NEX"r HAGUE TRIBUNAL JOHN BULL WILL PRESENT UNIVERSAL PEACE PROPOSITIONS. Publishers' Preas.j Paris, Jan. William T. Stead, of London, said in an interview that he is on his way around the world in the interest of peace. He further declares that he is authorized by the British premier, Sir Henry Campbell Bannermann. to say that Great Britain, if no other country does eo, at the approaching second peace confer ence at The Hague, will raise the question of taking steps to provide for the maintenance of international peace. Mr. Stead says this will be done in the form of two propositions, as fol lows: Each country participating in the conference providing money to be used in propagating the idea of main taining international peace: each country participating in the conference render obligatory the observance of Article VIII of the act of the peace conference of 1S93, permitting a third power to tender mediation without giving offence between two disputing powers; and also that the participat ing powers extend the scope of article VIII so as to bind the signatories, In case of a declaration of war, not to begin hostilities within two weeks, during which interim friendly powers would have the right to intervene in an attempt to adjust the quarrel. A THRILLING MINUTE. ' aidfJe In In Intensity of Terror What It Lacked In Time. The adventure of a contributor to Science lasted but a minute, but It made up in intensity of terror what it lacked in duration of time. The writer tells his own story: Some years ago while I was making researches in an excavation near Frankfort, O., the center wall of the mound was undermined by the workmen, and I was struck by a mas of falling earth. I had just stooped reexamine a small bone which had been uncovered when earth to the amount of several cart loads dropped on E1 No one else was in the excavation, tht men having goue to the top of the mound. The falling mass knocked me back ward, and I fell with my head and shoulders on a small heap of earth. The falling wall of earth looked black to me, anl I well remember the rush of wind It brought. At first I felt little pain, only intense pressure, which forced the buttons of my costume partly inside my flesh. My watch was pressed tight against two ribs which were broken. The skin on my forehead seemed cut. but It was the pressure of my b-it forcing the fisu between the straw. lie knife in my pocket seemed burning hot. Just under the small of my back was a large clod which gave me unendurable pain, as if my spine were slowly breaking. Then Tt stopped, and I felt nothing. Thoughts raced through my head like lightning, thoughts of the past, present end future. I remember trying in vain to move a hand or a finger, I was perfectly motionless. My chest could not be inflated, and the downward pressure bad forced the air out of my lungs. 1 could move my chin and open and shut my mouth. I tried to keep my mouth closed to prevent its being filled, but it Instinctively opened, and the earth fell In. Then the assurance of strangling came to me, but I did net much care. It was just sixty secends. the surveyor said, before the men reached me and I felt the earth move slightly. A shovel struck my scalp and cut inc. It felt like redhot Iron. When my head was iineoveretl t!:e pressure on my bodywas sj ; reat the blood was forced to my head uutii my rescners feared my veins would burst. I observed everything, but could not move. The partial paralysis lasted several days. I have never whallv re covered from the enVn-ts of my adven ture. I cannot enter a cave or stand near a bank f eajth without terrible sensations.

"Let me be put on my oath. I have test, mony to give of the utmost importance." A Detective Story by Anna Katharine Green thegreatest writer of detective stories living. She wrote "The Leavenworth Case" and "Lost Man's Lane," two of the best stories .of the century.

Voman, they were right; you are little less than a deviL" The Mystery of Agatha Webb By Anna Katharine Green , The mere announcement of a detective story by this celebrated and clever writer is enough. It is not necessary to say that it is thrilling from start to finish, that it holds the reader fascinated. All these things are known to be true because Anna Katharine Green has no superior in this branch of fiction. THE FARM ORCHARD. 'Enrichment of Soil and deeded by Treea the Cars The condition of the ordinary farm orchard is generally such as to make the experienced horticulturist feel sad. Steps toward permanent reform in the care of the orchard as outlined by t writer in Iowa Homestead must be: First, a thorough understanding that fruit is a crop in exactly the same sense as corn or wheat that is, it re quires a certain amount of fertility in order to return good crops; that every crop consumes a certain quautity of soil fertility and that that fertility must be maintained by the same means employed in the case of other crops. Second, that a certain - amount of work must be given toward the production of a fruit crop just as in the case of other crops. If the farmer, convinced of this, stands ready to reform his methods, the first process will be to restore the fertility of the soil to the degree required for a good crop of corn. To do this he can employ the legumes, such as clover and peas, as well as stable manure and commercial fertilizers. If the trees are large, at least a quarter load of manure should be given each one, scattered as far out as its limbs extend, or a top dressing of the whole orchard would be preferable if the supply of manure will admit of it, or ground bone and muriate of potash. 200 pounds of each to the acre, would be highly beneficial. The trees should be carefully inspected, one by one, and lightly pruned if necessary, but the cutting off of large limbs should be avoided. A great aid to spraying and one that will at the same time be remunerative is the use of certain kinds of stock in the orchard, such as bogs, fieep and poultry. He- Cave It to Her.

Heart

Like a Clock The pulsation of the heart marks the passage of the blood through the veins, just as the ticking- of a clock indicates the flight of moments of time. Palpitation, fluttering or irregular action reveals the fact that the heart is running down and unless strengthened, is liable to stop at any time under some weakening influence, such as excitement, over-work, or intense mental or physical strain. To regulate the "heart action, you shoukl take Dr. Miles' Heart Cure when an' symptoms of a weak heart is apparent. It has no equal.
