PRESIDEN

T KELLY

DEFENDS EARLHAM Speaks of the Excellent Record of the School in Oratorical Lines.

STATE PAPER'S COMMENT.

NEWS HINTED THAT QUAKERS HAD LITTLE EXPERIENCE IN CELEBRATING ORATORICAL VICTORIES AND KELLY RESPONDS.

President Robert L. Kelly, of Karlliairt college, has come to the defense of that institution in the matter of its record in debate and oratory. Dr. Kelly's defense arises from the reference that the Indianapolis News made to the recent state oratorical contest, vhtch Karl ham won. The reference vns as follows: "To he sure Earlham hasn't had much experience in the matter of celebrating oratorical victories, but it managed to do pretty well under the circumstances." Dr. Kelly has addressed the following communication to the News, under date of February 1(: indianpolis News, Indianapolis, hid. ' Dear Sirs On your editorial pase in the issue of Feb. Mh you use the following expression: -To he sure Karl ham hasn't had much experience Ju the matter of celejuating oratorical victories, hut it managed to do pretty veil under the circumstances." I appreciate, of course, that this is a fcomewhat. facetious remark, aiul vet

(here is involved in it a suggestion that you really do not Know the facts

in reference to Knrlham's oratorical record. May I stale them, therefore. I briefly. During the past seven years! Earlham college lias won three firsts j in the state oratorical contests; D-j pauw. three: and Notre Dame, one

gle exception of Del'auw. that has any-' thing like so good a record in oratory ! as does Earlham college. i

You may be interested uI.m) in our record in debate. Earlham has participated in eleven intercollegiate debates with Indiana colleges: three with Indiana university, all of which she won: three with Depauw university, the last two of which she won; four with Butler, three of which she won: and one with Wabash, which

Connersvilie, Ind.. Feb. 11. Behind the suicide of Francis T. Boots. M

years of age, Connersvilie' s leading : citizen, who shot himself through the head today, lies the story of another of the recent financial flurrv's i.--i thus. Mr. Hoots, until a few weeks ago. was president, of the Farmers' and Merchant's Trust company. He faced the crisis and refused to place the ban on withdrawals and won his fight. But the strain which lie underwent proved his undoing. A mental derangement developed and fear of the madhouse and trouble to his fam

ily drove him to his tragic tnd yesterday morning. Tireless Energy Fatal. Shrewd, eccentric, but liberal and popular with almost every resident of Connersvilie. Francis T. Boots has left the story of the man devoured by tireless energy. Last night small groups were gathered about tlx. street corners discussing the one topic-the death of Francis T. Boots, the man who spread the city's fame over the entire country by his enterprise and ever ready to boost for the town. It was only last summer that he startled the city with the announcement that he was going 10 put. a row of benches around the court house square for the veterans who were wont to collect there at dusk and fight again the battles of the rebellion. He did it. and, what is more, surrounded the square with a string of incandescent lights. It was at this time that he again impressed his personality on the city by painting all of his business buildings, taking in seven or eight business blocks and a hotel, a bright yellow, with red trimmings. Bed paint was the mark of Boot's ownership, and as such it had come to be recognized. Wiseacres say there was more than chauity in placing the benches and lights around the court house square. Connersvilie has a tendency to move northward aiid away from the Boots properties, which are at the southern part of the business district. In the benches and lights was seen a clever scheme to .stop the movement of tintown away from his property. But Mr. Boots received credit for his philanthropy and the veterans enjoyed the benches just the same. Refused to Set Limit. During the recent financial flurry Mr. Boots was president of the Farm

ers and Merchants' trust company. Bankers of the city met to discuss the

limit on withdrawals. He refused to

THE LOVERS' CANDLES. An Old ourlilitp Custom Thai Still l'refiil In PolnnU. A quaint old superstition Is to this day held In Behind to the efteer that two lighted eaudlen set afloat on the river by two lovers will by their conduet foretell If th course of true love will run smooth otberwise. The ' lovers' candle" are launched at a very pretty water fete that takes place every summer on that part of the Vistula which runs through IVlaud. It (iniiueiiees ;it sunset. The river is thronged with a procession of little bi.iits containing masked ladies and gentlemen. Each person carries two wreaths and two candles, the hitter representing the person carrying them and the object of his or her affections. They are ligbtiii, fixed tirtnly in the center of the wreaths and laid side by side in the Mater. Should they float down the river dose together it is n sign that their lives should be united. Should they drift away from each other it is a sign that the lovers will be parted, ami shouid they only drift asunder for a little way and farther on come together again it is a sign that the loved ones will only be parted for a time and all come right in the end. There is much method and order about the arrangement, of this procession. The boats glide along in rows, so many abreast, and after the tirst row have proved their wreaths they move away to the sides aiu f!ie others come forward in succession. The river is well Illuminated, and a large concourse of people assembles to watch the proceedings. The scene is a charming om and reminds one more of fairyland than of anything else.

it was a case of stand or fall. The bankers fell in line. and. except for the outside world. Connersvilie did not know there was a financial flurry. The strain told, ami in a short time Mr. Boots was compelled to retire

from business because of his failing Health. He resigned the presidency of the bank at Gleuwood. which he recently established, and withdrew from the trust company, transferring his stock. The firms with which Mr. Boots was identified are declared solid by the business men of Connersvilie. All of them are thriving. The Farmers' and Merchants' Trust company, of which he was president, is a leading financial institution doing a good business. It pays interest on time deposits at the rate of ."! per cent. No motive is given for the deed but a breakdown brought on by overwork. Mr. Boots attributed his first collapse to a sunstroke which overcame hint while he was at rending the national republican convention at Minneapolis as a delegate. It was

MATELESS PIGEONS. Carious Vru Uiuii f Nature t tlnd Tltfir SolitnJ-. "Pigeons are monogamous." said a raiser of those birds for market, "and the female lays but two eggs. One of these is always the egg from which a male is hatched, and the other incloses the future female. If by any accident u cock pigeon loses its mate or a hen pigeon becomes widowed the sympathies of the entire cot go out. to th alllicted brother or sister.

"But if there is a widower in the cot find no convenient widow for him to lake to mate, or if there is a widow for whom no widower pigeon is on hand, something must be done to fill the vacancy, fpon the first hen pigeon to nest, after the vacancy occurs falls th important duty. If she hasn't hatched her eggs yet she promptly dumps one of the two out of the nest. She never makes a mistake in evicting the right one. If a widow is to be provided for, the hen throws out the egg containing hor future daughter: If a widower is pining for a mate she disposes of the son egg. If she has hatched her egg when a demand is made for her sacrifice she ceases feeding the youngster who will be superfluous and starves it to death. Pigeons grow fast. and. sniiabhood over, the lone product of that rest becomes mate to the bereaved member of the flock."
