YOUNG MAN WAS

HMDSDFT John Boatfield of Dayton Has A Lively Experience While in Richmond. GOT ALL BUT TEN CENTS. BOATFIELD WAS SHOWN LEN- . IENCY IN COURT BECAUSE CF SYMPATHY FOR HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN. John Boatfield of Dayton wss in Richmond Tuesday. He met with some old friends, got drunk for the first time In his life, lost all his mon ey but ten cents, tried to whip a bartender and ended up a strenuous day by Insulting a policeman who was giving him a friendly tip on the proper method to employ In escaping arrest. As a result Boatfield was pinched and said "howdy-do Judge" in the city court. Boatfield told a straight forward story, head down, and asked for leniency. He said that his wife and child were in Dayton and they needed his assistance. "It was the first time that I ever got drunk, and It will be the last time. Judge." The officer then told of Boatfield's escapades and as a result Judge Converse assessed a fine of $3 and costs. This completely crushed the young man. After Imposing the sentence Judge Converse decided to investigate the case more thoroughly, so he made a personal investigation. Reputable citizens who knew Boatfield spoke well of him so the judge had the young man brought before him again. He told him that, in the absence of the prosecutor, he could not dismiss the case but , that he would indefinitely suspend the hearing of it. He told Boatfield that he took this action because he believed him to be telling the tnith and because of the pity he felt toward the wife and child. Court Gives Lecture. "You have spent all your money with so-called 'friends'. Perhaps they took some of it away from you. Never regard such men as 'frfends' in the future and give them a wide berth. .Your wife and child need all the money you can make for them so don't spend your money foolishly," said Judge Converse. "Now, before I allow you to go, I want you to promise on your word of honor that you will never get drunk again," added the court. "I give you my promise and it wl'.l be an easy one to keep," said the repentent Boatfield. He then thanked Judge Converse for this kindness and Stated that he appreciated more than he could tell the lecture he had received. Judge Converse believes young men who are charged with minor offenses for the first time are more benefited by the milk of human kindness than by prison bars and whenever he has the opportunity he dispenses this Jdnd of justice.

MANY THINGS STAIID III WJE SAYS General Superintendent Mc- ' Carty Makes Reply to Commercial Club. INTERCHANGE OF FREIGHT.

WILLING TO HAVE IT BUT CITES CERTAIN OBJECTIONS NEGOTIATIONS ON WITH THE C, C. & L. ROAD. The Panhandle railroaa company has made answer to the petition of th Richmond Commercial club that an interchange freight switch be put in and unlike the C, C. & L., It is not a favorable one. The answer is from General Superintendent McCarty and says that the Panhandle Is willing to have the Interchange, but likewise says there are many things which stand In the 'way. The Panhandle official declares, however, that his road has entered into negotiations with the C, C. & L. A copy of the answer has been sent to the state railroad commission and to Attorney Ray K. Shiveley, representing the Commercial club. A hearing of the case has been set for September 3, by the railroad commission. In his letter Superintendent McCarty first sets forth the case at issue which is the Commercial club of Richmond vs. the Panhandle and C, C. & L. railroads. He then proceeds as follows: "By way. of answer to the complainants in the above entitled proceeding, the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railway company, in Its own behalf, respectfully represents that the intersection or crossing of the two railroads referred to In the petition of the complainants, is by means of an overhead crossing, and that the crossing is located in the immediate .'vicinity of the yards and terminal tracks of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis railway in the city of Richmond, Indiana; that owing to the elevation of one of the roads above the other at the said crossing, a connection between said roads directly through one of the angles formed by said crossing is a physical impossibility; that to make such connection in the Immediate vicinity of said crossing through the terminal property of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati. Chicago and St. Louis railway, would result in the partial destruction of, and serious interference with the operation of said company's terminal yards and tracks, in connection with the objects and purposes for which they were purchased and are now used; that there may be some method for providing for the connec tion between said railroads in the city of Richmond, but the selection of any suitable location would necessarily be attended with much difficulty and the construction of it cannot be accomplished without the expenditure of a large amount of money; that said Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railway company has entered Into negotiations with t.ie Chicago, Cincinnati and Louisville Railroad company, in good faith, with the view of co-operating with said company in the determination of a suitable location for said connection." CENSURES PEOPLE, NOT SALOON. New Castle, Ind., Aug. 2S The Rev. N. W. Tracy, a Kentucky temperance evangelist, is holding a two weeks' meeting in a large tent. He is handling the liquor question without gloves. Mr. Tracy says the people of any community who have the power to stop the traffic and do not do so are responsible for the saloons. All those who do not work against the saloon, he says, are for it, as they lend their silence to make its operation possible. STEAMER GOES TO THE BOTTOM Uetroit, Aug. 2S.

WESTCOTT WILL IS FILED III PROBATE

Terms Provide for the Distribution of a Very Valuable Estate. WIDOW HAD A CONTRACT. AFTER THE TERMS OF THIS ARE MET THE SEVEN CHILDREN WILL RECEIVE THE RESIDUE OF THE ESTATE. The will of John M. Westcott, who died last Saturday night, has been probated in the circuit court. It was drawn October 3, 1905. The will disposes of a very valuable estate, Mr. Westcott being rated as a millionaire, but the will does not throw any light on the value of the estate and does not set out any specific bequests. The will states that it was desired to avoid any contention in settling the estate and that the decedent and his second wife, Grace E. Westcott. had a full understanding of the terms of the will and were mutually agreed. Her share in the estate is governed by ante-nuptial contract, the terms of which are to be fulfilled by the executors and trustees, who are Burton J. Westcott, James A. Carr and Omar Hollingsworth, who are to serve without bond. The widow receives practically all of the household goods at the East Main street residence and also the use of the residence for one year free. After the terms of the contract with the widow have been filled, the executors are to divide the remainder of the estate into sevn equal parts and distribute it to the seven children, except in the case of Charles Westcott, the balance due whom is to be held in trust for himself and his children, he to receive an income of $200 a month. It is the desire of the testator that the estate be settled immediately. A previous will provided for an equal distribution of the estate among the children but it was necessary to change this because of his second marriage. PRESBYTERIAN PLAN FOR HOME MISSIONS Committee Meets at Winona To Apportion Money for Evangelical Purposes. WELL KNOWN MEN ATTEND. DR. W. J. DAWSON, LONDON PREACHER, AND DR. J. WILBUR CHAPMAN WILL LEAD IN THE EVANGELISTIC WORK. Winona Lake, Ind.. Aug. 28 The Presbyterian general assembly's committee on evangelistic work has begun its annual meeting here and it has brought together several of the more eminent men of the church. The purpose of the committee is to apportion among the synods the amount of money each is to have for evangelistic purposes during the coming year, and this has brought many superintendents of home field3 to Winona Lake that they may make known their needs to the committee. Some of the synods contribute from their own resources enough money to support their home mission efforts. Some of them give more than enough, the surplus passing through the committee's hands to the weaker synods. Many prominent men are attending. Last year the committee, on evangelistic work spent $6,000 in the south and southwest, while its expenditures among the synods was many times this amount. Three of the selfsupporting missions are the synods of Indiana, Oliio and Illinois. The most important question to come before the committee at its present meeting is that or operations; adopted by the general assembly at its meeting at Columbus, last spring. This plan requires that the committee turn over the evangelistic work in home mission fields to the board of home missions, while the committee on evangelistic work shares the expense of the work in the south. Dr. W. J. Dawson, formerly one of the most famous of London's preachers and teachers, will spend considerable time this winter in the work of the evangelistic committee, appearing with Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman and his evangelists - in their campaigns. He intends to spend the rest of his life in this country. He now lives in Massachusetts. The Joys of Relic Hunting. Qnite apart from the beauty and Intrinsic worth of such things, it is astonishing on looking back on one's experiences of collecting to realize how much pleasure one tlaa got out of even a dilettante quest of antiques. The exhilarating Joy of thL treasure hunt, the finding of the treasure, the bargaining for it and the flnJ bearing of It home in triumph, unwrapping it and discussing its beauties and merits, are things which add zest to life. And, as the taste for beautiful old thlncs is more or less an acquired one and can be cultivated, th's Is a Joy In which most people vrlio are fortunate enough to hare a little spare cash and a little ppare time can share.
