DID NOAH ENTER HIS

ARK ST. PATRICK'S DAY? Old English Calendars Give Date as March 17. MRS. NOAH TROUBLESOME Today, March 17 is famed not alone because it i3 St. Patrick's day. Ire land's preat patron saint, but the ear ly English calendars pretend that on that day Noah entered the ark, to which is added the further information under the 29th of April. "Here Xoah went out of the ark." In one of the earliest mystery plays Noah Is presented as carrying to his dame the news of the imminence of the flood,' whereupon she abuses him for his credulity, sneers at him as an habitual bearer of bad news, and complains of the sad life she lived with him. lie tells her to hold her tongue and as she becomes more abusive he strikes her. She returns tha blow with interest and Noah is compelled to run away to his work on the ark. Dragged into the Boat. When that vessel Is finished she refuses to go into such" a crazy looking craft, but finally reconsiders and assists In fairly good temper in driving the couples of beasts and birds into the ark. She refuses to embark for the voyage unless he agrees to allow a number of the neighbor women, her cronies, to go with them, and that if 3ie does not accede to her terms he may look out for another wife. Then Sheni Ham and Japhet appear and drag their mother into the ark. During the middle ages, in the folk lore of that time, the quarrels of Noah and his wife were popular narratives. RUNAWAY WAS EXCITING Spirited Team of MrVJtad-Mrs.- Edward Norris Frightened at Eighth and Main Streets. One of the moat exciting runaways that has occurred in the city recently ras that of yesterday at the corner of Eighth and Main streets. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Norris, living two and one half miles north of town, on the Middleboro pike, were driving east on Main street, and as the' approached Eighth street, the neck yoke broke, allowing the tongle, to the vehicle in which they were riding to fall to the stTi;t. The Spirited team became frightened and started across Eighth street dragging the buckboard. Mr. Norris efforts to bring them to halt were unavailing. The tongue of the buckboard smashed .intoa-curb stone, where It was broken, allowing the j team to get awaj. They ran into the sidewalk - in front of the Peter Johnson hardware store, where a telegraph pole separated them, breaking the har ness. They ran east . ior several Pr -t before they were stopped. I Mier Mr. nor Mrs. Norris was Injured, but both were. badly frightened. FromTthe general appearance of things for a time it looked as if both would be ""severely injured. LIGHTS FOTFRAIICHISE The Proposition that Hagerstown Will Make. THE MOVE UNUSUAL ONE llagerstown, Ind., March 16. When the projected interurban road strikes llagerstown it will receive a reception unlike those extended by many other towns. llagerstown needs electric lights and does not care to assume the obligation of establishing a system of her own. It has been conceived by some of the solous that the interurban people can bo made to furnish lighting for the streets without cost to the town. It is said that the franchise is worth a great deal of money and the town should receive something in return for the rights granted the railroad company. It Is believed that people who are back of the road have heard of the demand that may be made in return for the franchise and have instructed the surveyors to run the route north of town. If the road should be built on the route followed by the surveyors, llagerstown will have the longlooked for interurban station entirely out of town. Many citizens are in favor of allowing the road to be built right through town and along the highway east and west. The surveyors would give out no information about the time when the actual work of construction would begin. THE WORK WAS TOO HEAVY Albert Hindman Forced to Give Up Duty as Mail Weigher. llagerstown, Ind., March 16 Albert Hindman agent for about all the newspapers sold here, has been indisposed the past week so that he was unable to perform his duties as weigher of mails, to which position he was appointed three weeks ago. Mr. Hindman was one of the youngest men ever appointed to such a position, and his appointment was due to the influence of Congressman Watson, who has shown great interest in him. It is not likely that he will be able to resume his duties in the postoffice department, as his work requires constant attendance. He will continue in the newspaper business, which gives him about as much net return as the more arduous and responsible posi""on of weigher of malls.

WHAT "PURE ICE CREAM"

WILL MEAN IN INDIANA State Board of Health Estab fishes Rule. PERMITS LITTLE GELATINE Complying with the insistent de mand of the Ice cream manufacturers of the state, the state board of health has adopted the standard of purity for Ice cream under the new pure food law that went into effect last week This was the one standard determined at the meeting of the state board of health in the office of the secretary, yesterday afternoon. The standard set by the state besrd of health is not the same as the feder al standard set under the federal pure food and drug law. It permits of the use of a little gelatine in making what is to be called "pre cream" and also sets the minimum amount of butter fat atabout 8 per cent.. Instead of 14 per cent, which the federal standard pro vides. Rule as to Ice Cream. The rule as to ice cream is as fol lows : "Ice cream is a frozen product, con taining not less than 8 per cent of butter fat and 18 per cent of milk solids, with the addition of sugar (sucrose) and with or without nat ural flavoring and not to exceed seven tenths of 1 per cent of gelatine. "Fruits, nuts, candied and preserved fruits and nuts, chocolate and other similar products shall be classed as flavorings, and ice cream conttaining such ingredients shall conform to the standard above specified." Explaining this rule, Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the state board of health, said that it was to be under stood that ice cream manufacturers could make ice cream differing from the standard. "If the product does differ from that standard, it can not be called pure ice cream, however, and the label will have to show the contents," he said. Must Import Natural Ice. "Only half a crop was harvested this year," said a local natural ice dealer yesterday in speaking of the crop this winter. "Yes, he continued," there were only about eight days that we could harvest ice and the warm weather completely ruined our local crop. It will be necessary for us to import a large quantity of ice to properly care for our patrons in this city during the summer months." From reports coming to Richmond, the natural ice crop is short all over this section of Indiana and Ohio, although local dealers say that a large harvest was made in northern Indiana and Ohio. WAS N0T:ABLET0 APPEAR Mr si Delia Combs in Serious Condition After Cruel Beating. Mrs. Delia Combs, who was severely beaten Thursday night by her husband, Joseph Combs, was yesterday unable , to appears against; him in the city court. Dr. J. M. Bulla, who is attending the -woman,- states that she is in very poor, condition and at the. present time it would be impossible for her to leave. the, house. In the meantime Combs is held in the city jail without bail. It is probable that a hearing of the case will be possible Monday .morning. Combs probably will enter a plea of not guilty. Jesse C. Stevens Home. Jesse C. Stevens and son, Earl, have returned, from a five months stay in the south, most of the time being spent in New Orleans. Mr.1" Stevens represented the Hand Lumber company of Bay Minette, Ala., in .i-lroad construction. Mr. Stevens has accepted a position as superintendent of a railroad division running between Pensacola, Fla., and Flormonton, Ala., and will assume his new duties shortly. While Mr. Stevens arnj son were in the south they took a five hundred mile steamboat trip and visited many of the prominent battlefields and other points of interest ' and brought home many curios. Mr. Stevens' work for the Hand company is most highly praised. Hilligoss Dropped Dead. Rushville, Ind., March 16. H. G. S. Hilligoss, 72 years old, the first mayor of Rushville, dropped dead while at work in his back j ard last evening at his home in this city. Mr. Hilligoss was a native of Rush county and was elected first mayor by the Knights of Labor movement about twenty years ago, and served in that capacity two years. In his younger days he was one of the important factors in Republican politics in this p art of the state. He lived in Madison county for several years and was well to do, but met with financial reverses and after many unsuccessful attempts failed to retrieve his fortune. Mr. Hilligoss was the first person Friday to spread the news of the death of Alfred R. Peters, his lifelong friend, who died only a few hours before and only a square away. Artists Prosper. J. E. Bundy, Richmond's well known artist, who is in the south, writes that he is improved in health and succeeding in his work.

GRAND TRUNK WRECK;

MANY HURU MAY DIE Fast Express Runs Into a Freight Train. BANCROFT SWITCH OPEN Detroit. March 16. The Atlantic express on the Grand Trunk railway due here at 7:53 a. m., from Chicago en route to Port Huron and the East and running late, ran into an open switch at Bancroft, Mien., five miles from Durand, today aud struck freight train. Five persons were sev erely injured, two of them perhaps fatally. Engineer A.. 13. ' Schram and fireman Frank Cowan, both of Battle Creek, Mich., suffered broken limbs and severe scalds and may die. I. F, Smith, of Dowagiac, Mich., and Mrs D. Shook and Miss Ituta bhook, of Lansing, her daughter, were severely scalded, but are not thought to be fatally hurt.

JOSIE BOND AGAIN JAILED Well Known Character Had to Dragged Along the Street. be Josie Bond, one of the most notor ious police characters in the city, was arrested yesterday about 9 o'clock for associating with Jim Clark, col ored, another well known police char acter. The two were captured in an alley between Fourth and Fifth streets by Sergeant McManus. The Bond woman was taken down Main street enroute to the city jail and Sergeant McManus had to drag her nearly every inch of the way. Josie succeeded in creating much trouble and the epi thets she applied to her captor could be heard for considerable distance She was put into jail, swearing, and resisting to the last. The memory of man runneth not back far enough to remember the first time Josie was "pinched." Since that time she has kept the police busy. Im prisonment has no effect on her and the attempt made by Prosecutor Jessup about a year ago to reform the woman failed miserably. With the po lice the question of "what to do with Josie?" is an unsolved one. Clark and Jos'.e will be given a hearing in the court this afternoon. Clark has re tained Attorney Henry U. Johnson to defend him. BUSINESS EXPANDING Bradstreet for Week Shows Healthy Condition. SPRING WEATHER IS FELT New York, March 10. Bradstreet's today says: Spring business hes further expanded, jobbing operations being maintained at a volume to or exceeding last year, while retail trade has felt the stimulus of the approach of Easter and the appearance of springlike weather. Increased complaints as to short stocks in some lines, n itab'y dry goods, come from many points, and slow delivers' Is still complained of. Industry is native except where, as in the flooded sections of the Ohio valley, mill creations are restricted. While business is large there is claimed to be no tendency to -.mvchase beyond legitimate requirements, and the prospects favor active demand and a large turnover. While the green bug lias mined wheat and oats in Texas, the situation in Kansas and the Southwest generally is excellent and the impression seems to be that damage reports have been considerably exaggerate! for market effect. In the South preparations are progressing under favorable soil conditions for a large cotton acreage. In the pig iron market buyers and sellers are maneuveriag for position as regards prices, and while little new business has been placed, except in the Birmingham district, the undertone appears stronger. Some foreign foundry iron is being offered at prices that are much be'ow those quoted for the domestic product. Production in February was far below that of January, but the daily output increased somewhat over January, the largest part being 'urnishod by th leading interest and not by the merchant furnaces, whose product has the most influence on the open mavko-:. All fin ished lines are active, with specifioa-' tions corning in freely. Pipes and tubes are in bris't request and the leading interest ha? withdrawn pi ices and not;Iied the trade that no orders will be taken for shipment this side of June 1. Sheet and tinplate mills were never so rushed and fancy premiums prevail. In the wool market firmness prevails and in the centers ir foreign grades, arrivals of which sre very heavy. Stocks of domestic wool are small, though sales thereof are of mod erate proportions and many grades are cleaned up. The mills are still run ning on worsteds, and therefore staple wools are in good demand. General opinion points to less contracting in ltne West this season than for several years, owing largely to high money, moderate interest in domestic wools and the tendency of the mills to carry only what wool is actually needed.

BUG MAN COMING AGAIN More Experiments on Farm of Walter Ratliff.

TO CONTINUE TILL 1911 W. J. Phillips, the bug man, will arrive in this city within the next two weeks and will begin his field operations, as soon as the weather becomes favorable. This year's experiments on the farm of Walter Ratliff west of the city, will begin the third year of the series of experiments which will continue until 1911. The insectary will still be maintained at this point and about thirty cages will be constructed in which this year's investigations will be made. The cages will be three feet square and covered by wire netting on the outside, while cheese cloth will be placed on the interior that the insects may not make their egress. Small windows will be placed in each cage that Mr. Phillips may watch the developments and gradual growth of the work, made by the creatures on the plants within. The plants with which Mr. Phillips will experiment during the summer are wheat, rye, clover, buckwheat, cheat, timothy and several kinds of wild grasses. The insects will be placed in the cages and the effects of their work, closely watched, day by day. Mr. Phillips has been spending the winter at the government division of Etomology at Washington, D. C, where he has further carried on his experiments with the data and mater ials secured on the Ratliff farm last summer. John D. Is Unconcerned. Augusta, Ga., March 16 John D. Rockefeller was seen Friday just as he was preparing to go out on the golf links at the Hampton Terrace and asked for a statement on the present condition of the stock market. "I am enjoying myself now," said Mr. Rockefeller, "and letting the stock market alone. I am here to rest. Fur thermore, my daughter, Mrs. McCormick, is ill and I am looking after her just now." The best that could be gained from the richest man in the United States was that he was here for a rest and was not worrying about the market. f4L n
