BUTLER IS LITTLE CHANCE OF WINKING Report Has It Christians Are Not Prepared to Cope With Baptists. THE DEPAUW SITUATION. MUCH INTEREST BEING SHOWN IN THE CLASH BETWEEN THE METHODIST AND PRESBYTERIAN TEAMS. Indianapolis, Oct. P.I With the Franklin game but a day off the Butler college eleven is showing up in miserable shape. The men are out of condition and run through their plays without the necessary snap. SITUATION AT DEPAUW. Greencastle, Oct. 31. "Me for Wabash," says the little green tag which every loyal Depauw ttudent donned this morning, signifying the Intention to accompany the Methodists to Crawfordsville Saturday for the Intrersting contest between the Little Giants and Depauw. Manager James Rickards has made arrangements for a special which will carry over three hundred students. The present indications are that an unusually large and enthusiastic gang of rooters will add to the general interest. The students are expecting their eleven to make an excellent showing against the Little Giants and have plenty of confidence. WABASH AT HARD WORK. Crawfordsville, Oct. 31. The Wabash college football eleven came out of what promised to be a slump ;ast evening by going through one of the hardest scrimmage practices of the season. The report of the great form shown by the Depauw Methodists here of late has alarmed the local athletic authorities, and the football men expect to take no chances at being caught napping. It is claimed that the Depauwltes are stronger than they have been for five or six years, and that they expect to put up the battle of their lives when they line up against the "Little Giants" next Saturday. The members of the scarlet eleven are especially anxious to keep Depauw from scoring a? many points as they did against Indiana University, where a total of nine was chalked up. Although the Grefncast!o men have visions of victory, no boasts are going out from the Presbyterian camp, but it is an assured fact that the Athenians will not let a single opportunUy pass to run up as many points as possible. A full game will most likely be played, consisting of two thirtyfive minute halves. In order that neither can claim a disadvantage by short halves. A FEMALE TERRORIST AT Gloried in Her Deed to the End Of Life. WAS MADE AN EXAMPLE OF St. Petersburg, Oct. 31. When morning broke over the fortress at St. Peter, Mile. Ragozinnikova, who assassinated Gen. Maximoffsky last Monday was taken from her cell and hanged. The girl gloried in her deed until the trap was sprung and her small triumph faded only with the convulsion of death. Her rapid trial, conviction and execution are Intend 'd as an example to other terrorists contemplating assassination. GILLETTE ESCAPED A TERM IN PRISON Granted Certificate of Reas onable Doubt. WAS RELEASED ON BOND. New York, Oct. 31.-Dr. Walter Gil lette, former vice president of the Mu tual Life insurance company, senteced to six months in prison for perjury in the Insurance investigation, was today granted a certificate of reasonable doubt by Justice Downing and released on bord. The taler which has ceased to be recognized a coin in the German realm since the first of this month, began life toward the close of the fifteenth century the actual year being 1484. It was minted at the little town of Hall, in Tyrol hence its name, which, by the way, was until recent years spelled "thaler" the "h" being reminiscent of its birthplace, where also were the silver mines which furnished the precious metal for those first talers.

DAYBREAK
NO TROUBLE COMING IN BASEBALL WORLD Situation at New York Becomes Peaceful One.
LEAGUES REPRESENTED. New York, Oct. 31 Notwithstanding all the rumblings of discontent which have been heard here during the last three days while the representatives of minor baseball league organizations have been in session here, it is believed there will be no upheaval and disintegration in the ranks of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues. The cooler heads, who have had a good deal to say In the interests of the national game, have pretty nearly mastered the. situation, and their counsel will keep the national body intact. Twenty-three of the thirty-six leagues in the association were personally represented, Wednesday. J. D. O'Brien of Milwaukee, president of the American Association, submitted two resolutions which were adopted at a conference held in Chicago last Sunday. These were to the effect that the Pacific Coast, Southern and Western Leagues be reduced from Class A to Class B organizations, and that the national board bo reduced from seven to five members. Both resolutions were tabled. OBJECTING TO FOOTBALL Injunction Against This Sport Is Prayed For. Kankakee, 111., Oct. SI On the ground that football is nothing more or less than prize fighting, Stephen R. Moore, dean of the Kankakee County bar and its most picturesque character, filed a bill in the county court here asking for an injunction to prevent the authorities of the public schools of this city from permitting the playing of the game by the pupils. SENTIENT ON THE PARCELS POST PUN It Is Now Being Secured by Secretary Haas of the Commercial Club. CONGRESS TO CONSIDER IT. THE NEW RATE PROPOSED BY POSTMASTER GENERAL VON MEYER WOULD BRING ABOUT DECIDED CHANGES. "Hello, Mr. Merchant. Please send out my goods by parcels post." The farmers of Wayne county can not say this at the present time, but they hope to; and at the same time the merchants of the city will bring pressure to bear upon Congressman Watsou to use his aid in bringing about the condition. At the next, or long session of congress, Postmaster General G. L. Von Meyer will submit a bill whose clauses will change the rate for parcels post, making it within the reach of all people, and of real value to the country. Parcels post rate in vogue in Richmond at the present time are extraordinarily high, it being 64 cents for each four pounds. The merchants of the city do not care to use the mails for the delivery of goods for this reason. In addition to this, the prevailing rate is unjust and not by any means uniform. It costs as much to send a package of any kind from the Richmond office, to New Paris or Cambridge City as it does to London, England. The new rate, as Postmaster General Von Meyer has planned, is very cheap, and if adopted. Uncle Sam can then hope to compete with the express companies and other public carrier companies in this branch of the business. The rate will be five cents per pound, with a charge of two cents additional for each extra pound. Tostmaster Spekenhier is a believer in the new system as planned. It will then bo a very easy proposition for any farmer in the county to call up his merchant over the telephone, order a bill of goods, and have it delivered by Uncle Sam's rural mail carriers. In addition to being a most satisfactory service to merchants and farmers alike, the new system would swell local postoffice receipts wonderfully. Secretary E. M. Haas, of the Commercial club is now ascertaining the sentiment of the merchants on the proposed system. Some united action, in au appeal to Congressman Watson is ex pected. HALF MILLION IS VOTEO Assembly at Manila Provides For Schools. Manilla, Oct, 31. The assembly today voted a half milion for the erection, of school buildings.

BOND BUYING OFFER HAS GOOD EFFECT
Morgan Interests Willing to Take Thirty Millions Worth Of New York. AN AID TO CONFIDENCE. COMPTROLLER RIDGELY HAS A PLAN BY WHICH THE AMOUNT OF MONEY IN CIRCULATION CAN BE INCREASED. New York, Oct. 31. If more reassuring news were needed to complete the restoration of confidence, the action of the syndicate headed by J. P. Morgan & Co. in offering to buy thirty million of the city's six per cent revenue bonds should bring about such confidence. This action has had a beneficial effect on conditions. TO INCREASE CIRCULATION. Ridgely Has a Plan to Stringency. Relieve the Chicago, III., Oct. 31 Comptroller of the Currency Ridgely, with the approval of Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou, has given national banks permission to furnish securities other than government bonds as pledges against government deposits, thus releasing millions of Uncle Sam's pet securities to guarantee new bank note circulation. Under this new ruling, banks in Chicago and other cities are soon to swell their note issues by millions of dollars, which, with a large output of gold coin from the government mints and importation of gold from abroad, will give the business men of the country sufficient cash to meet all needs. In this connection the Continental National Bank of Chicago will issue at once $500,000 in new notes and in a short time another lot of the same amount, or $1,000,000 in all. The Commercial National Bank is to issue new notes to the extent of $1,000,000, and it is expected that the First National and sister banks will follow suit. The total additional note circulation in Chicago alone may reach, it is said, $10,000,000. Bankers who have not communicated with the comptroller will do so today, when addition announcements will be made. Other national banks in cities both large and small, are said to be ready to take advantage of the government's proffer, and the aggregate increase in note circulation throughout the country may be $300,000,000. This will, it is predicted, mean the utter rout of the stringency specter. DEDICATION. OF THE LIBRARY DECEMBER3 This Date Has Been Chosen For the Exercises at Earlham College. BUILDING TO BE READY.

THE GRASS FENCE. Thrilling Incident of the Battle of Bunker Hill. The battle of Bunker Hill gave the occasion for many deeds of valor, end since that day we hold a list of names illuminated in our memory. One of these unmes belongs to the Knight of Derrytiekl. Do you remember who he was, aud can you recall the song of his bravery? Read of It once more and have Impressed again on your heart the implicit obedience and perfect courage of the New Hampshire farmers and their captain, John Moor. When the forty-five men of the little town of Derryfleld, N. II., left their homes to fight for the great cause each knew that no men were ever led by a braver man than their beloved Captain Moor. His courage had inspired many of them in the French and Indian war. So, eagerly, when the alarm came in 1793 they marched with him and his drummer boy son to Cambridge, where he was entered a captain in Stark's regiment. And now comes the battle of Bunker Hill. Behind a fence, piled thick with grass, Captain Moor's company lay as still as death. An order had come from Colonel Stark that not a shot was to be fired until the British passed a stake that was driven a short distance .away. With perfect confidence in themselves and their captain, the farmers waited waited motionless while that beauti
ful r1fth rlonllntr nnfonnt of Rritish i warriors swept grandly toward them, j With the coolness and wonderful precision of a dress parade the old world came to meet the new, the grenadiers and light infantry marching in single , file twelve feet apart, the artillery ad- j vanclng more slowly and thundering j out an Insolent defiance to the con- I ceited little rebels, while on each side ; five battalions formed an oblique line to the fence breastworks. The very flower of the English army, full blossomed In learned maneuvers, resplendent In shining arms and waving banners, advanced to meet a little group of men untrained in tactics of warfare, only half armed, clad in homespun, hiding behind a breastwork of grass. The dead line was crossed. Bang! Bang! Bang! The little rebels were awake at last. Now, not the stake, but a line of fallen bodies marked the dead line. Thunder and lightning belched forth from that breastwork. A fire, intense, steady, killing, and the brave march of the Britishers was checked. A slight recoil, and the officers, dashing up, again urged the line forward. Not for one moment did the grass fence cease its voice of fire and shot. One by one the brave grenadiers and their dashing, gallant officers fell to the earth. The ranks broke and the proud host fled before the meager handful of New Hampshire men. Ah, if we could only have had grass breastworks and Captain John Moor all along the American line! C. F. Harrison in Atlanta Constitution. A Philanthropist. An earnest east side worker says that not long ago she was approached by an old gentleman who has the reputation of being something of a philanthropist with the request that he be permitted to accompany her on one of j her round's of visits. Much pleased, the worker consented. The destitute condition in which many families were j found elicited expressions of deep sym- ' pathy from the old gentleman, but to nothing more material. Presently they came upon a small girl weeping bitterly. "What la it, my dear?" the old gentleman inquired. The child raised a tear stained face and pointed into a dark alleyway. "Me mudder sent me to buy some bread, an' I lost my dime in there, an' I'll git licked awful!" 6he sobbed. "Poor dear!" he remarked in a tender voice, at the same time putting his hand into his vest pocket. "Don't cry. Here Is a match. Perhaps you will be able to find it!" Harper's. Misled by Stationery. "I wrote a note to my washerwoman about a week or two ago asking her please to bring my clothes home," said the woman. I needed them. I happened to bo in a religious concern at the time and used its paper to write the note on. Bertha came yesterday. " 'I've a gTeat notion to discharge you. Bertha,' I told her. '"Why didn't you bring me my clothes? Must I get enough things to wear a year without having them washed on your account?' " 'To tell you the truth,' Bertha apologized meekly, 'you wrote on that theah religious paypah, and I didn't pay no 'tenshun to it. I Jea' thought it was some o them peepul wrltln' to ask me to come to prayah meetin'. I didn't know it was youah lettah, miss, till yesterday mawnln', when I got tiahd of seein' it around and opened it, so that was why I didn't git bean no soonah with youah clo'es.' " New York Press. Moody on the Cards. One evening in San Francisco Evangelist Moody sat in his room at the hotel playing a game of cards with Mrs. Moody and two friends when a messenger came in with a dispatch. As the boy stood waiting for a reply Mr. Moody suddenly asked, "Won't you sit down, my lad, and have a game of authors with us?" The boy declined and soon left the room. Hardly had the door closed when Mrs. Moody said. "Why. D wight, what made you think of Inviting that boy to sit down and play with us?" "My dear." replied Moody, "don't yon see, if I had not called the boy's attention to the fact that we were playing authors all the morning papers would certainly have announced under big headlines that D. L. Moody had been discovered in a San Francisco hotel engaged In a game of cards ?"
From an iron maker s point of view the greatest achievement during tne revolutionary war was the making of the gTeat West Point chain. This massive chain, which has probably never had an equal since the first hammer struck upon the first anvil, was stretched across the Hudson river at West Point to prevent the British fleet from making a second attack upon Kingston and Albany. It was nearly a mile in length and weighed almost 2X tons, many links oeing as ehavy as ordinary sized man.

Open Each Wednesday Evening Origin of Two Familiar Proverba. It was the habit of tlie great Greek painter Apcllea never to let a day pass, however busy he chanced to be, without practicing his hand by tracing the outline of some object, a custom which has now passed into a proverb "No day without a line." He also made it a rule, when he had finished a canvaB, to exhibit It to the view of those who visited his studio, while he himself, hidden behind tho picture, would listen to tlfeir comments. It Is said that once a shoemaker censured him for having painted a pair of shoes with one latchet too few. Next day the shoemaker, revisiting the studio, saw that the painter bad corrected the mistake. lie then began to criticise the leg of the portrait, upon which Apelles came forward and reminded him that a shoemaker should not go beyond the shoes, a piece of advice which has also crystallized into a proverb, "Let the cobbler stick to his last." Pliny the Elder. At Sea In a Coffin. It was the French assassin Lupl who escaped to sea from Cayenne in a coffin. He managed to get some nails, tar and cotton, and one dark night he got into the coffin shed. He selected a fine, stanch and seaworthy coffin and fastened the lid in order to turn it Into a deck, leaving a cockpit sufficient to enable him to crawl in. He calked all the Joints as well as he could, and when this work was finished he made pair of paddles out of two planks. Then he brought out his craft with great precaution. Without much diffi culty he reached the water's edge. Silently and slowly he proceeded in the hope of reaching either Venezuela or British Guiana, 150 nautical miles distant. Fortunately or unfortunately for Lupl, the steamer Abeille. returning from the Antilles, off Paramaribo picked him up. half drowned and almost In a fainting condition, and a few hours) later he was in Irons in his celL Leaving Richmond 11:15 p. m. via C.

An Old Time Playful Prisoner. Over a century ago there occurred In London what the Annual Register called "a most unparalleled atrocity." It was only the theft of a pocket handkerchief from a pocket, but the circumstances of the deed explain the vehemence of this denunciation. Four men were on their trial for assaulting a man iu his house at Tonder's End, putting him in fear and stealing from him, and one of thero relieved the tedium of tho trial, which lasted eight hours, by picking the pocket of one of the turnkeys as he stood in the dock. An official bad the presence of mind to order the re-7 toration of the handkerchief, and tho prisoner had enough presence of mind to obey "with the most careless Indifference," but the court, we read, "were" horror struck." Justice, however, pulled Itself together sufficlentlj to sentence all four men to death. LAST CINCINNATI EXCURSION $1.00 ROUND TRIP SUNDAY NOV. 3 Via C. C. Cl L. Rsi Ra Train leaves 5:15 a. m.
