Only the t ollege student is benefitted by Rockefeller's benefactions, while those who have had advantages in the way of urt and reading come to be the beneficiaries of Carnegie's gifts of money. Miss Gould helps, from the ground up, those who need help. She makes the light to shine in dark places and she gives hope where nothing like it ever appeared before. She recognizes the trust that accompanies her millions, und with a wonderful clearness of vis ion, she is fulfilling that trust. And the most beautiful feature of all her efforts in behalf of better conditions is that she blows no horn and sounds no . drum when sha makes a helpful application of her dollars. Indianapolis Sun.

CATALPA TREES' HISTORY. MANY OF THEM BETWEEN COLUMBUS AND INDIANAPOLIS. Put Out as an Experiment by John F. Miller, But Were Not Profitable. Col. Passengers on the Pennsylvania railroad often wonder over the number of catalpa trees between Columbus, O., and Indianapolis, and but few know their history. About twenty years ago Col. J. F. Miller of this city then superintendent of the Indianapolis division of the road, conceived the idea of planting catalpa trees along the right of way, that they might serve to beautify the road during their early life, and when they became of age, might be . used for crossties and fence posts. The venture was a failure after thousands of dollars had been spent in the work. The company from which the Pennsylvania purchased its trees, swindled the railroad, it is said, for instead of giving the road the better grade of catalpa trees, the soft or worthless variety was instituted. The trees also hindered the engineers' clear view of crossings and they were cut away at these. Places but stm man hundred remain ueiween me iwo capnai aura. ARE WORKING TOGETHER. A passenger arriving in Richmond from tne nortn staiea mat ne unaerstood Wisconsin Central and the C. C. & L. railroads are now practically one, or at least that is what is going the rounds in Chicago. He said the schedules of both roads into Chicago were such as to give almost immediate connection. STEEL CARS FAVORED. The committee which was appointed some time ago to look into the advisibility of purchasing all steel cars for use on the Pennsylvania, has reported favorably, and during the next two years the road hopes to place two thousand all steel cars in service. The committee reported that steel cars are the best for all purposes by far. Although they cost twice as much as the wooden ones, they are considered a good investment as they are much safer than the ordinary kind. The committee also reported that the life of the steel car is about the same as the wooden which is contrary to the general idea that the steel coaches are more durable. MEANS INSTANT DISMISSAL. Local division trainmen have been warned that instant dismissal will be meted out to Pennsylvania traifoien who allow passengers to alight Ironi moving vestibuled trains where the trains have slow running orders. This has been practiced for some time on the Richmond division, although in many instances unknown to trainmen, and should the passengers be Injured the company is liable for damages. Iu view of this fact the company has also ordered the Richmond division trainmen to keep the vestibules securely locked while the trains are running on slow time. ' PAY CAR WEDNESDAY. The Pennsylvania pay car in charge of Paymaster Snee will arrive in Rich mond Wednesday at 10:15 and will i aistriDute nara earnea sneiveis iu ! employes of the Indianapolis, and Richmond divisions. The pay car ar-j rives in the city one day later than! usual this month owing to the fact that Sunday broke in on the start of the trip. The G. R. & I. car is expected in the eitv Wednesday also. NEW PASSENGER COACHES. The Grand Rapids and Indiana railroad has- placed an order with the American Car and Foundry company for thirty new passenger coaches. These will be of he most modern pattern. The cars probably will not be placed into service untit the. letter

they are completed they will be turned over to the road. INTERLOCKING SWITCHES. The work of equipping the Pennsylvania lines with automatic interlocking switches is being rushed, according to statements given out in the local offices, and soon the entire road will be protected with these modern devices. - RAILROAD NOTES. In order to pay the increased raise of ten per cent in wages recently voted to its employes, the Western Union Telegraph company has ordered a twenty per cent raise in the toll rates. Although the homeseekers excursions on the wrestern and southwestern railroads, were supposed to end the latter part of this month, they will continue during the months of May and June. Whether or not tickets will be sold from Richmond during those months is not known at the local station. The Lake Shore, contrary to others belonging to the Central Passenger association, will cut its rates on excursions below the two cent per mile mark, during the summer. It was thought for a time that not a road in Indiana, Ohio or Pennsylvania would break its promise of dishing out flat two cent rates for all causes and purposes. General Freight Agent J. B. Hill of the Pennsylvania is now enroute to California with his bride. Representatives of transcontinental lines deny that the rate on lumber will be increased forty to sixty cents per 100, in reprisals for the passage of the reciprocal demurrage law. E. B. Taylor, third vice president of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pitts burg, has been elected president of the Pittsburg, Wheeling and Kentucky, also succeeding W. P. Hubbard resigned, Joseph Wood has been elects ed vice president.

Billheimer that they cease to issue special contracts and predated policies, and file in his office vouchers for every item of expense. Fourteen companies already have no tified the auditor that they will meet his demands. Horses Scarce in Henry. New Castle, Ind., April 16 Buyers report horses scarce.

Eaton A most exciting runaway occurred here Monday morning. A pony owned by William Spacht, the Main street butcher, broke loofee from the hitching rack in front of its owner's place of business at seven o'clock, and tearing the bridle and lines from its head, started to run "for dear life." It was hitched to a four-wheeled open vehicle, and of course this went with it. It ran from street to street, and through alleys and yards, and wherev;er it could run. After covering the space of perhaps a mile it finally wound itself up in the front jard of the J. E. Parker home on West Main, where it was captured. Statement Incorrect. Cambridge City The statement that the city council had donated $125 toj James Mustin for the purpose of purchasing a new circular saw was incorrect.

HAULING OF ASHES HAS BEENJAMPERED If There Has Been Neglect It Is Result of Oversight. COMPLAINT GENERAL ONE. If the municipal ash man neglects to call on jou and remove your ashes to the city dump, call up W. P. O'Neal of the board of public works and he will dispatch an ash wagon to your home on a hurry up call. He stated Monday evening at council that every effort was being made to gather up ashes about the city and that if anybody is being neglected, it Is an oversight. He stated that the past few weeks there had been two or three extra ash carts on duty to relieve the ash congestion, but he pointed out that the.ash gatherers had of late been greatly hampered in their work owing to the fact that many people were trimming trees and that the dead branches were placed in the ash barrels for removal. He then stated that if anyone had been neglected by the ash man all this person had to do. was to notify him and he would see that the ashes were removed. It is thought that Mr. O'Neal
