A Word to Attorney Study An account of the life and works of Thomas J. Study, city attorney, has not yet been compiled for the county history but when the article is written it is safe.to say that Mr. Study will be given credit for having fighting blood in his veins. Perhaps when Mr. Study opposed the entire city council in regard to suspending the Main street freight ordinance he was right, but he opposes so often the will of the majority that his opposition Iohcs its effectiveness. A fable says that a lad once watched sheep and made sport of the master of the flock by calling out, "the wolves come," when the vicious animals were not in sight. Each time the master answered the call only to be fooled. Finally he paid no heed to the lad's cry and the wolves did come. Be more discreet, brother Study, some day the wolves may come.

We know nothing about signs, nothing about the light or the dark of tho moon, nothing about what the morrow will bring, but when we have a shower, quickly done, followed by warm sunshine, the budding of trees and the merry twitter of birds, we say in the language of the poet and with the fervor of a coal burning citizen spring has come.

The dispatches say that John D. Rockefeller's latest gift will be the paltry sum of $50,000,000 to educate and Christianize the Chinese. 'Tis well John D. to spread the Christian religion, but oh how much better it would te to practice it. ; i

BLOCK SIGNAL SYSTEM. The work on the completion of the new block signal system on the Richmond division, is proceeding with a rush, and will be entirely construct ed within the course of the next few weeks. The division has never been entirely equipped with block signals and therefore the officials have been handicapped to a certain extent in the manipulation of trains, as those por tions equipped made it harder to regulate trains on those portions not equip ped with up to date block signals. Few travelers know how their lives are protected day and night, upon the Pennsylvania railroad by those sleep less sentinels the block signals. In speaking of the block signals and their various degrees of efficiency, a local railroad man said today: "There are various kinds of block signals employed by railroads, but none of the mseems to stand the test as well as the automatic block signals now being installed by our road. "It is interesting to note that the electric block signal system requires no human agency to operate it. being operated automatically by electricity. "When completed there will be a small power house located every sixteen miles over the system, in which will be small gasoline engines and batteries which will furnish the current for operation of the eight blocks of their respective circuits. Maintainers or electricians are stationed at each end of the power houses, which will connect either with telegraph or tele ENGLAND'S DECLINE IRELAND'S WERE PREDICTED (Continued from Page One.) fM'M.fM.M worth of woolen goods each year, while the Irish imports on the same brands only amount to $3O.00O, .although the woolen products of the :mills of Ireland are equally as fine as those manufactured in England Should Demand Irish Goods. It is the duty of the Irish people of -America today, to demand Irish wool en goods for their clothes, and under no circumstances accept En-glish man ufactured clothes for wear. Take a longer time in securing your clothes. In order that you can then get Irish cloth stuffs. Demand it of your tailors, and soon the demand for woolen goods from Ireland all over the United States will spread, anil by so doing you -will, aid Ireland against England, by patronizing her home industries, giving them strength' and by so doing strengthen Ireland in- the conflict which is destined to come and which will settle the question of Irish home rule forever. Aim at the English manufacturers. England Will Suffer. The many characteristics- of the Irish wnicn were destined to play a great part in the conflicts with England, were named and the speaker showed that these were such as to keep the Irish in check from headlong outbursts and were steady enough to slowly develop the conditions which would eventually cripple England. The early land tenure systems of Ireland and the effects of the feudal system on the people, were discussed during the course of the address and the influences both had on influencing the development of the country, were dwelt on at some length by the speaker. The people of Ireland are so enthused with the ultimate chances of victory over England that many ideas as to the way the victory should be accomplished, are advanced. In former years there were but few Irish books sent out of Irish publishing houses, but now there are many on the subject, which set forth different ideas, of how the great victory should ultimately be realized. Roasts the English Army. The Rev. O'FIanagan showed the characteristics of the English army, and was not at all complimentary to it. and showed how the" Irish and Scotch composed- it in the main, and "were made targets for enemies bullets, while the red coats hung to the rear pf the ranks. He said: "2he bravery

phone, and during the day will visit every block assigned to them, to see that they are in perfect working order. But should any accident occur to either block, the signals will fall immediate ly to a position which will give all engineers the danger signal. This will not only affect the disabled sig nal, but all. therefore stopping all trains on the sixteen mile circuit. "Lights will be placed on all the sig nals and will be burned during the twenty four hours of each day, so that the engineers may have a vivid view of the signals. The lights will material Iy aid the engineers on dark and fog gy days." CHRISTENED THE JAMESTOWN The first steel car ever constructed by the Pullman company has been plac ed in service on the Pennsylvania and has been1 christened the "Jamestown," in honor of the Jamestown exposi tion. The car is not greatly dissimilar in exterior appearance from all other wooden coaches. The paint is dark green, tne color adopted, wnne tne in terior in cream white and gold trim mings. The moldings, decorations and carvings are eliminated to a noticeable degree in the new coach. There are but three pieces of wood in its en tire structure, and these with the ex ception of the seats are the only combustible material in the car. The lighting system in the car is far better than any used on other Pullman coaches. . The finishing colors in the smoking compartments are of golden oak. of the English in battle is all of the tongue, when they return home, and then the tongue sometimes slips." Rev. O'FIanagan said that the Irish should stay out of the British army, and placards were being posted all over Ireland warning the people against going into the English service. The idea in keeping the Irishmen out. is to place the English army on a lower level and should Ireland need the soldiers she will have them at her service. He said: "By . keeping the Irishmen out of the army, that would be that many Englishmen as good as dead, and we would save the bullets, too." Own Money Used Against Her. He showed that England was keeping Ireland down by a large portion of the money which Ireland itself sent into England each year, ani it was the duty of the Irish, when they wished to which was necessary, to purchase it of 1 either the United States or Germany, thereby handicapping and boycotting all goods of English manufacture. Already as the result of the demands for Irish goods the factories are booming. By the non-use of liquors in Ireland, vast sums of money could be taken from England in the form of revenue duties. Ireland Her Own Savior. The withdrawal of all Irish mem bers of parliament was spoken of and the Rev. O'FIanagan said, that the Irish could not in any shape or form recognize British superiority or recognize the flag of England unless such was absolutely necessary and forced upon- the people, Ireland alone has it in her power to free from her wrists the shackles of England, and unless Ireland does this, it will not be done, as no other country will do it for her. Decline of England. Rev. O'FIanagan dwelt at length 'on the signs of the decline of England i& inaraume ana commercial pow-1 trr, ana wnen ne stated that England would be eventually broken off from her colonies, as she would not have strength to hold them, and that Ireland would rise as an independent nation, his words were cheered to the echo by the Irish people of Richmond. 'His speech was enthusiastic and St. Mary's hall reverberated with the cheers which showed Richmond Irishmen are willing to stand by the de velopment of Irish home industries, and help forward that time when the hated English ensign would be removed from Irish soil and cast into the sea; when Ireland would emerge as a new and powerful nation, having accomplished the end for which she has been striving faithfully for many years. "Ireland,"' Rev.""' O'Flannigan said, "stands more firm and more erect than ever before in the past three hundred years, while her watJUword Is 'Up and Onward."

The last issue :of ;the Earlhamite contains a fine description of Earlham's new buildings, well illustrated. Through the kindness of that publication the article I herewith reproduced. "Earlham's new library is to be

' The sum is now all pledged, having been given by the faculty, alumni and friends of Earl ham. The plans for the building have been selected, the contract let, and work will be begun at once. "The library is to be located east of Lindley hall, facing the west, and will be the same distance from, the main drive and north drive to Central ave nue. "The building will be 100 feet by GO feet, constructed of brick with stone trimmings. The main space of first floor is to be taken up by the general reading room. The walls of the southern end will be as near all win dows as possible.' In here will be an alcove system of. stacks containing the most used books. These stacks will contain 12,000 volumes, which is threefourths the present size of our library. The center tables of this room are for magazines and general reading. Each alcove will be devoted to a special department. For example, any one wishing to study mathematics can go into that special alcove and find there the books desired. Thus the general reading room tends to combine both a general and a departmental library. "Just ' north of the reading room is the librarian's delivery desk, lighted by skylight. East, of this is the librarian's room which opens into the cataloging room. The vault will be fireproof, for the safe keeping of especial ly valuable books and records. .The conversation room, ; opposite the vault, will be used for consultation of students with professors concerning reference books, works, etc. The stack room is to extend from basement to roof, the different floors being reached by an elevator. When complete it will be capable of holding VO.000 volumes, but at present only one stack level on level with main floor is to be completed. The total cost of the four stack levels alone, when completed, will be $12,000. . "The south end of the basement, in-; First Floor Plan eluding the portion with rounded wall. is a lecture room. It will be fitted with a stereopticon when finished, "iust north of this room, on west side, is a general class room. Under the librarian's office is to be an unpack, ing room and below the conversation room is a work room. . The stack occupies the noAh end. "The south room of second floor will be the art hall. There will be low cases, leaving the wall space free for such works of art as may be acluired. "The rooms over the conversation room and vault will be used' for map and periodical storage. "The portion above the general reading room and librarian's desk will be de.oted to halls and study or seminar rooms. These will be used by persons doing continued library work, as seniors working on their theses or the debatin teams when preparing for their debates. "The new boys dormitory will be called the Edwin S. Bundy dormitory, in honor of the deceased son of Mr. and Mrs. Zenas Bundy of Greenfield. Everyone is familiar with the fact of their donation of $2."MXN for this purpose last June, and "the raising of about $13,000 in the face of the year ly Meeting last September. The esti mated cost of the dormitory when completed is $50,000, of which $12,000 remains to be raised. "The building is to be of red brick, trimmed with stone, and its style of architecture is to be based on Earlham Hall. It is- to face the west and is in the form of a letter H. The greatest length being lCvi feet, the greatest width 10; feet.-as shown -on the plan. "This building is to be located northeast of Parry Hall, the front- to be even with the middle of the grandstand, and the southwest corner to be about the same di&Umce from Parry .Hall that, the

On each floor there'are to be two suits of rooms on the inside of each wing and four along the outer sides, making twelve suites in the wings on each floor. ' There are to be two bath rooms on each floor, to be located as indicated in the plan. These will all be furnished with both showers and tubs. ; "On the first floor the parlors, on each side of the main entrance, will be fitted with, folding doors as will also the assembly room. Thus this whole space can be thrown into one large room for receptions and other social affairs. -The assembly room is to be the home of the Y. M. C. A., and will serve for all kinds of boys' meetings. The remainder of the floor will be taken up ' ; with students rooms. The rooms on each side of the assembly room and the parlors are single rooms. "The basement will at present be used for storage only. On second floor the governor's sleeping room will be immediately over the main hallway entrance, with a parlor to the north. South of the governor's bedroom is to be a suite of rooms and one vingle room. Over the assembly rooms will be two double and one single room. In all other respects the second floor will be like the first. "The nursery will occupy the space on the third floor over the assembly room, with nurses, rooms just south of it.' The remainder of the floor will be used for students' rooms. "Without crowding the "new dorm"' will be capable of housing 107 students in the best equipped dormitory in the middle west. The contract is let and the contractors have agreed to finish the building by the first of September or pay a forfeit for every day's delay. Other Changes. , "The new buildings will call for a number of changes, some of which have not yet been solved. One of the most important of these is in regard to the heating arrangements. The of Library Building. present plant is totally Insufficient and an entirely new plant will probably be installed. ' : , "At present the plans are to build a new boiler room entirely separate from the present buildings, to be lo cated where the old "wood shed is now. A new smokestack will be necessary and it is probable that a tunnel will be dug to carry pipes, etc., from the heating plant to the new dormitory. It is also probable that at some time an electric light plant will be connected with the new boilers. "Another problem to be solved will be the demand for a larger dining room; at present, however, there are no definite plans in this respect. . "It is the plan of the management to maintain the old student life as nearly as possible under the new con- - - - x -

ditions. Many minor changes will occur naturally, but the old customs and habits of Earlham life are to be kept as near to the traditions of the college as possible There is no doubt but that at present Earlham is passing a critical point in her develop-

ment, yet no one seems to fear but that the crisis will be met and passed with safety. College Buildings. "Lindley Hall Length, 170 feet; width, 100 feet.
