TIMOTHY NICHOLSON KNEW GREAT POET, WHITTIER While an Officer of Haverford College, Local Man Made A Call at Whittier's New England Home. WAS GIVEN A DEGREE FROM THAT COLLEGE. Whittier Was of a Retiring Disposition, Exceptionally Congenial and Affable Observance of Birth Appropriate. This is the centennial anniversary of the birth of John Greenleaf Whittier the famous Quaker poet, and Rich mond has a man who personally met the great poet at his home in New England and had a very pleasant visit with him. That man was Mr. Timothy Nicholson. Mr. Nicholson, in relating the experience this morning, said: "In I. as one of the officers of Haverford college, in company with Prof. Chase, who later became president of that institution, went to New England as representatives of the institution, to confer with Mr. Whittier as to whether he would accept a degree from Haverford college. We explained to him that the faculty of Haverford were very desirous of honoring him and themselves by conferring the degree of master of arts. "Mr. Whittier very patiently heard us through and then said: 'Gentlemen. I have in no way merited such honor and am not sufficiently scholarly to be thus distinguished.' It required much persuasion on our part to overcome his modesty, but he finally consented to let the degree be conferred. Personally, Mr. Whittier was rather retiring In disposition, exceedingly simple Be Prepared To start the new year wi h the oroDer kind

in manners, but exceptionally congenial and affable." An observance of the centennial anniversary of the birth of John Greenleaf Whittier, the great Quaker poet, is particularly appropriate in Richmond, where Quakerism has been such a dominant influence ever since the birth of this city. While no extensive observance of the occasion has been planned, either in the schools, at Earlhain. or any of the local churches, yet many minds will revert to this early American writer of lyrics, who has been classed as one of the five greatest poets in American literature. At all of the various school buildings today, a short time was given to a consideration of Whittier, his biography, and his varied career. Poems were read cither by the teachers or by pupils. Probably in no city in the middle west, are there as many pictures of Whittier as are to be found in the homes and public buildings of Richmond. The population being largely of the Friends denomination, nearly every home has a picture of this favorite author. A number of large pictures of the poet are hung on the walls of the various public school buildings, all appropriately framed. South Eighth Street Friends church and the North A street Friends church will hold exercises in commemoration of the centennial anniversary.

CORN AND LIVE STOCK SCHOOL BEGAN MONDAY Several Wayne Countians" in Attendance. BEING HELD AT RUSHVILLE. Several Wayne county farmers are attending the Sixth District School of Corn and Live Stock Judging and Do mestic science, opened in Rushville Monday. From every part of the district came farmers to acquire a knowledge which, applied, will mean a saving of wasted energy and better crops. The meeting was held in the Grand Theater auditorium. Those who gathered were enthusiastic in their commendation of the enterprise. In the absence of Mayor Cowing, A. L. Gary, formerly state agent of an Indiana Young People's Reading circle, delivered the address of welcome. He said Rush county was the natural home of advanced agriculture, and that the city of Rushville was appropriately selected for the first school as it was a city that depended almost solely on the farmers for its commercial life. T. A. Coleman, chairman of the local school. Mho was largely instrumental in bringing it to Rushville. delivered a brief speech, outlining the proposed work of the school. Prof. G. I. Christie of Purdue university delivered the principal address of the afternoon, speaking on the selection and care cf seed corn. This is the first affair of its kind ever held in the country. It is given under the auspices of the Purdue university Experimental station, whose entire faculty is here for the occasion. If successful here it will be carried out In other districts of the state.

The Connecticut operator was sending to New York, and the message, as far as caught, reads as follows: "On board Connecticut, S evening, forty miles northeast of Cape Hatteras, heading south-southeast. Speed, 10 knots. In four columns abreast." The message was longer, but the operator could not. get anything further. The fleet was expected to pass this port Tuesday, but so far out as to be outside of communication with the limited power of the wireless station here. Roosevelt Returns. Washington, D. C, Dec. 17. President Roosevelt and party who witnessed the sailing of the Pacific squadron, returned from Hampton Roads this morning. Drinking Men Not Wanted The above sign is now seen in manyshops and offices in this city, .because drinking men are unreliable. Competition is too keen and life is too strenuous for an employer to keep , men on his payroll whose nerves are unsteady and whose brains are not clear.

BEASLEY MURDER TRIAL NOW ON Shot Wife While She Was Sitting With Children. TRIAL WILL LAST A WEEK. Bloomfield, Ind.. Dec. 17. The trial of George R. Beasley, who shot and instantly killed his wife at their home in Linton last June, was called in the circuit court here Monday afternoon. The indications are that the trial will last all week and that both sidrs will make a stubborn fight. The trial will be presided ' over by Judge Charles E. Henderson. The crime for which Beasley is on trial for his life occurred one night last June, when he left his place of business in Linton and walked to his home which is said to be one of the prettiest in the city, and finding his wife seated on the veranda surrounded by their three children, and almost without a word of warning, he opened fire upon her with his revolver and she was instantly killed. The couple had been having some difficulties and she h.id already filed a complaint for a divorce. Pending the settlement of the divorce rpoceedings she had been awarded by the court per month from her husband. Beasley immediately gave himself up to the authorities and the next day he was brought here and lodged in the county jail. A few days later he was taken to Sullivan, where he was kept until last Saturday, when he was brought back to Bloomfield. WAS WELL OBSERVED Denver Brown Camp Celebrated Event. PROGRAM OF INTEREST.
