Had It Not Been for Wilson's Excellent Goal Throwing, Eaflham Might Not Have Won the Contest.

MADE SEVENTEEN FOUL GOALS DURING CONTEST. Close Guarding of DePauw ( And Her Anxiety, Gave the Quakers the Game as She Fouled Repeatedly. In a fast and classy basket ball fame, characterized by the team work of Earlham and the close guarding of Jjepauw, the Methodists went down to defeat at the hands of the Quakers at the coliseum last night. The teams vote evenly matched, both scoring the name number of field goals, and it was only with the aid of Wilsons sure aim J t the cage from the foul line that. Earlham nosed out a victory. In the earlier stages of the game he accepted, fourteen out of sixteen chances, but later he lost his aim and his final j score stood seventeen goals out of j twenty-five chances. Johnson of DePauw was unable to locate the basket, ' and caged only eleven goals out of twenty-two chances. The game was a clean one free from roughness of any kind.

Tha game wa.i called at N:f0 p. m. DePauw, slightly nervous, fouled four times in as many minutes, and each time Wilson converted the foul into a marker for the white and yellow. After some fine team work, Overman caged a long shot from field and Earlham had six points the lead. DePauw recovered and began to play ball. Johnson, the star of the DePauw players, got a clean shot Pt the wicketend scored. In the remainder of the half, each team added two field goals. Near the end Earlham was boosted one point when DePauw fouled Chambers while trying for goal. The score when time was called stood 10 to 12 with Earlham in the lead. At the opening of the second half it was anybody's game and both teams started off with a vim which showed that they realized that fact.

Friday night at the Garfield gymnasium, the Garfield polo team handed the high school freshmen a lemon by way of the short end of an S to o score. The game was snappy and demonstrated in a pretty clear way the ability of the Garfield lads to play polo.

RESERVES WON GAME Kibbeys Not in the Running In Basket Ball Game Last Night. THE SCORE WAS 34 TO 17. Reserves, 34; Kibbeys, 17. The Earlham Reserves put it all over the Kibbey Athletic Club basket ball team last night by a score of 34 to 17. The Kibbeys showed great lack of training and practice. The work Of Snaveley and Gift was. the only redeeming feature of the Kibbey team.

The history of the Tacon theater of Havana is very interesting. In the year 1835 Francisco Marty, who was then the leader of a band of pirates which infested the island of Cuba and who bad a price of $10,000 on his head, was captured and ordered to be put to death. Seeing there was no hope for him. he asked leave to see General Tac;n. who was then governor general of Havana, and told him if his life was spared he would denounce his entire band and assist him in ridding the island of the number of pirate which infested It at that period Accordingly Genpral Tacon gave him a two weeks' parole, and inside of a week Marty had denounced his fellow pirates and turned them over to the government. For this service he was pardoned. In 183R Marty asked for the concession to build a national theater on the site of Parqu Central. It was granted to him. General Tacon went further and allowed him the privilege of the use of forty convicts who were then confined in Morro castle to assist him in the work, each convict receiving the sum of 20 cents a day. In 1838 the theater was finished, and Marty, as a proof of the gratitude he felt toward General Tacon for sparing his life, named it El Teatro Tncon. During the in surrection in Cuba many exciting incl dents took place here, lu one instance a regiment of Cuban insurgents barri eaded themselves in the theater and held it against the Spaniards for three days. Finally they were starved out, and as they were nrmklng their escape all were shot. The theater is built of white stone. with decorations of marble, and faces Central park, being in the center of the fashionable district of Tluvana. It is one of the larsrest theaters in the world seating over 3,000 persons. Cuban Re view. Thf Range of Apples. "Pineapple" and "love apple" (tomato) are instances of the manner in which the apple has been habitually taken as the typical fruit, the name of which is naturally borrowed in naming all sorts of fruits and vegetables that only remotely resemble it. Dr. Murray's dictionary gives an imposing list of them Jew's apple, devil's apple, kangaroo apple, and so on. A writer of the seventeenth century speaks of "the fruit or apples of palm trees." and a fourteenth century man says that "all manere aples that ben closyd in an harde skinne. rynde, other shale, ben callyd Nuces" (nutsV In the year 1000, apparently, "earth apples" meant not potatoes, but cucumbers. And even Eve's "apple" is bettered to have been a citron. The Metaphor of the Spider. Better than most metaphors that have been drawn from the spider's way of life Is the dellghtfxilly human one of Alphonse Karr's in his "Voyage autour de mon Jardin." The spider, he says. Is more truthful than man. When man ays. "If ny wife does not love me I shall die," he does nor die!

Muncie and Anderson May Not Withdraw, It Is Claimed And They Knew Nothing of A Trolley League.

JESSUP INVESTIGATED CONDITIONS YESTERDAY. William Norton Will Back the Anderson Aggregation Both Towns Will Act Definitely Soon. Despite the statements made by a few knockers, both expelled franchise holders and newspaper men, Anderson and Muncie are still in the I.-O. league, and it is a safe bet that there they will remain. Thursday a story was printed in the Muncie Star to the effect that the I.-O. league was a dead one in Muncie and Anderson. Yesterday Manager Jessup visited the two cities and found everything to be perfectly satisfactory and returned to Richmond in a happy frame of mind. At Muncie Mr. Finan, of the Shamrock Athletic association, stated that he had never heard of the "Trol ley League," which the Muncie news paper referred to, stated was being organized, and that the Shamrocks would either enter the I. -0. league or they would not have a ball team in the field this season. "Members of the Shamrock Athletic association will hold a meeting Sunday and if they decide not to enter the I. O. League our franchise and park will be for sale," stated Mr. Finan. Manager Jessup then went to Ander son and iound tnat it was true mat Phil O'Neil had thrown up the sponge there because the men he had tried to induce to finance the club had gone back on him. Jessup called upon William Norton, the wealthy brewer and ex-polo magnate. After explain ing the situation to him, Mr. Norton stated that he would be willing to as sist in financing the club. He called upon several prominent Anderson bus iness men and they agreed that Ander son should be represented in the I.-O. league, and promised to assist Mr. Nor ton in putting the Anderson club In the field. Just before leaving Ander sou, Jessup met O'Neil and told him of the action taken by Mr. Norton and his associates. O'Neil then telephoned to Norton and told him that if he would back the club, ho would, without compensation, devote a month's time to organizing the team. Monday Mr. Norton will call a meeting for the purpose of organizing a stock company. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. It's as difficult to find a friend as it is to lose an enemy. A luxury becomes a necessity after you get used to it. Unless you have money to burn don't try to keep the pot boiling in a poker game. It's difficult to convince a man that his money isn't on a sure thing until after the race. Don't worry over trifles. If you must worry, pick out something worth while, then get busy. When you have them they are opin ions; when other people have them they are delusions. It's an easy matter to size np a man if his dog crawls under the house every time he sees him approaching. When a man tells you how you ought to run your business. Just take a look, at the way he is running his own. Chicago News. Balzac's Button. Balzac wore a blue dress coat with metal buttons. A play of his, "Les Ressources de Quinola," was in rehearsal at the Odeou theater In Paris, and Balzac, ever hopeful, expected an Immense success. In order to appear in gala costume on the opening night he ordered a blue dress coat lined with satin, the buttons of which were of solid eighteen carat gold. "Quinola" was a ghastly failure, and for some time after It left the bill Balzac was exceedingly hard up. Whenever ready money failed him and ready money failed him often he used to cut one of Tila lii'tt An a fff a ti A anil if n a loir.l.r and to the day of his death the coat with the gold buttons and its successors were called by Balzac and his friends "Les Ressources de Quinola." A Flavor of Antiquity. In the little town of Munsiedel, in Bavaria, there exists one of the most curious charitable foundations in the world. One of the burghers, Christopher Wanner, died in 1431 and left his fortune for the establishment of a home for aged poor. He attached, how- j ever, the condition that every old man s who wa taken in fihould wear h!s j beard and the same cut of clothes and) cap as he himself used to wear. Con-) fequently, after the lapse of hundreds j of years, the ancient pensioners are; still to be seen wandering: about the streets of Munsiedel in the costumes of the fifteenth century.

Lee Robinson, colored, was brought before the court this morning to give

j reason why he had not complied with the court's order to pay his wife 1S a i month alimony. Robinson stated that he had made payment the first month but that after that he had been in jail part of the time and the remainder of the time he had been out of work. As soon as he secured employment he must comply with the order and pay all back alimony. THE LANGUAGE OF A DECK Of CARDS Rev. Hobson Will Tell Richmond People True Meaning of Pasteboards. THE REVIVAL CONTINUES. INTEREST IN THE EVENT IS GROWING SPEAKER TALKED OF THE DELUSION OF SIN AT LAST NIGHT'S MEETING. "The Pauper's Paradise," is the subjet of. the lecture which Dr. Tilman Hobson will deliver at a public mass meeting Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock at First M. E. church. Rev. Hobson has delivered the lecture extensively through the west. It is replete with wit, humor and pathos and will be a delight to all who hear it. This meeting is public to both men and women. Sunday evening at the same churdu Rev. Hobson will deliver the address which he stated some time ago he would give to the people of Richmond on "The Unwritten Language of a Deck of Cards." It is said that the facts revealed in this expose were secured at a great cost and at the peril ot his life. The series of revival meetings which has been under the combined auspices of Grace M. E. and First M. E. churches, will continue at First M. E. during the cpming week and including next Sunday. Friday nijit Dr. Hobson took up a discussion of "The Delusion of Sin." It seemed to bo his purpose throughout the discourse to show how the individual can be deceived into believing that the glare of worldliness and evil practices brings the greatest joy in life. The speaker showed how drin. and carousing will put a man down and finally leave him so despicably mean and depraved as to take the hard earned money that his wife earns over the wash tub and blow it ..i to satisfy passion, lust and depravity. "Sin will cuuse a man to sell the family relics, and pawn the picture of father and mother on the wall." THE HUMAN BRAIN. It. Capacity to Receive the Impressions of a Lifetime. Authorities differ as to the capacity of the average brain to receive the impressions of a lifetime. It is pretty well believed that there is In the brain a center of conservation distinct from the center of perception. We of course know nothing as to the nature of the relation of brain cells to precepts and conservation, but we do know that there must be a relation. The researches of Hammerberg and Thomson show that the number of ceils in the brain I 9.200.000.000. All stimuli, external (through the five senses) or internal (through processes), must leave some trace upon these cells, chemical, physical or dynamic. These stimuli are composed of all sorts of preceptswords and sounds beard; things and words seen: objects felt, tasted, smelled; sensations perceived in our own bodies; thoughts pushing upward into consciousness. And a little reflection will show how innumerable such imprints must be in the course of a single waking day. Even without reading, the resident of a city must receive an incalculable number of impressions upon his brain every twenty-four hours. The reading center of the brain occupies a comparatively small area in the back of the left hemisphere and consequently must possess a very small portion of the 9,000,000,000 cells referred to above. We can only ue8S at the number, but a fair estimate would be about a twentieth, or. say, 500,000,000, which in a lifetime of sixty years would allow us about 25.000 cells a day for the perception and conservation of words and sentences read. These figures may have no scientific value, but at any rate they emphasize a very Important fact, and that Is that our brain capacity is limited and that we should be sparing of the cells we daily squander.

For a number of years he lived on a farm north of Chester. About five years ago he retired from active business and moved to this city, where he had lived ever since. He has hosts of friends all over the northern part of Wayne county. The funeral will be Tuesday afternoon at the home. Services at 1 o'clock. The burial will be at the Goshen cemetery. Friends may call Sunday at any time. THE WORLD OF THE DIVER. Hia One Great Dancer Lie. In III. I'tter Helplessness. Every surrounding, every condition, almost every detail of the submarine liver's work is as if Invented by the romancist for a setting to a weird, uncanny tale. The one great danger to the submarine diver lies in his utter helplessness. No matter how or where he turns in his marvelous world, where even the very laws of nature seem turned topsy turvy, he is handicapped with odds against the life within him. Groping in the murk of the pitchy darkness of a river bottom or crouching on the sands in the green gray twilight of an ocean bed, be works alone, a monster beaded, awkward, hideous creature, squeezed as if in a vise by the tons upon tons of water surrounding him and clad In a cumbersome, unwieldy armor, stiff as sole leather, which often proves his casket. From the instant the helmet is screwed down and the "helper" grasps the life line and lowers the diver hand over hand, the "click, click, click," of the pumps bringing fresh air and the hiss of the escape valve carrying away the "used up" air, sound In the diver's ears. The "click, click, click," becomes part of his subconscious self. He is listening for it always, ever; not a "click" escapes him. He starts violently at the slightest irregularity of the sound. He listens for it so intently that to save bis soul he cannot count correctly 100 bricks into a bucket, taking them one at a time. A. W. Rolker In Appleton's. A Lack Escape. During the Spanish war, while the battleships were on blockade' at Santiago, it was customary to load the six pounder guns every evening to protect against possible torpedo boat attack. While the triggers were being eased down one of the guns on the Massachusetts was accidentally discharged, the shot passing over the quarter deck of the Texas, which was lying next in the blockading line. All the officers of the Texas were on deck smoking and talking when the shot passed a few feet above their heads. Almost before it struck the water a signal was started on the Texas from its commanding officer. Captain Jack Phillips, to the commanding officer of the Massachusetts. The signal was, "Good line, bat a trifle high." Harper's Weekly. A Quaint Ian Man. At Boited. in Essex.

COFFIN MADE HERE FOR A ROUND MAN. Logansport, Ind., Feb. 22. Before Fahn Haas, a former justice ot the peace in Tipton township, who died Tuesday night, could bo burled, a special coffin had to be bought at Richmond, and an ambulance was used instead of a hearse. Haas was the largest man in Cass county. He weighed 310 pounds and was short in stature. Ho greatly resembled a round ball, but withal ho was a genial good fellow, and there was no better liked man in the county. He was an uncle of William II. Haas, county superintendent of instruction. EVERY DAY SUNDAY IN THE BY-AHD-BY Signs Hung in the Local Saloons Today. Closed A Local Holiday." "Closed today Every Day Will be Sunday By-aud-By." ! A few more equally sarcastic signs were hung in the windows of local sa loons today. So far as Washington's birthday in Richmond was concerned, it was well observed by the saloonists. Every grog shop in the city was closed "hermitically sealed" is a better description. Officers in plain clothes patrolled the city to see that none of the liquor laws of the state were violated. About the city a few flags lazily tossed in the wind and the banks remained closed, otherwise Washington's birthday resembled any common ordinary week day. Thrifty Paganini.

St. Louis Republic. Poles of the Earth. The circle of the earth's dally rotation upon its axis being the greatest at the equator, the consequent greater action there of the centrifugal force during the period when the earth was a yielding mass produced a bulging out of the surface in the equatorial region, with a consequent flattening at the poles.

A. Standard That Mlarfct tVelt He Adapted br All olety. Over the dinner table a husband wa telling his wife of the financial misdealings of one of their social acquaintances, a wealthy and popular man. He had contrived the ruin of a certain company and its subsequent reorganization, a process which bad put money Into his pocket and taken money from innocent stockholders. The husband touched the facts lightly, because be thought that a woman conld not be interested in them or understand them in detail. This woman's understanding throughout ber busband's narrative was occupied with one or two simple questions. "Is be to be punished?" she asked. "Punished? How? Ills conscience won't punish him indeed, he probably thinks be has obeyed the rules of business. The law technically is broad enough to cover his case, but It is bard to get evidence. Yon ee, the district attorney must "Excuse me for interrupting, dear. Explain that to me later. I think we shall not dine there next Wednesday. I will write a note to Mrs. Berry." "Not dine there?
