GOT HIS HUGS AND KISSES AT HOME

Wilbur Richardson Says He Did Not Have to Visit Mrs. Bessie Brown. HE DENIES ACCUSATIONS. 6AYS THAT HEARING IN BROWN DIVORCE CASE PLACED HIM IN BAD LIGHT ALTHOUGH STATEMENTS WERE TRUE. Tn a letter to the Palladium, Wilbur I). Richardson, of Kansas City denies the allegations made at the hearing of the Clarence Brown vs Bessie Brown divorce suit, to the effect be had gone to the Brown home In the absence of the husband and wiped dishes for the wife. Richardson Writes: "I never was in Mr. Brown's home except when he was present and as for wiping dishes for her I don't have to do that at home and I have all the hugging and kissing I can do at home and never had any desire to mingle with other men's family affairs nor to break up any man's home. That is not my aim in life. I did not know Mrs. Brow n except on short acquaintance. They visited us at my home and my wife and I returned the calls." In regard to Mrs. Brown, Richardson stated: "I saw several parties going to and from the Brown home, but what-for I do not know, nor do I care. 1 did not think much about it till after their separation. I always treated Mrs. Brown with respect, the same as I do all ladies and as I want my wife treated. I want the people of Richmond to know I sim not guilty of any euch accusations." -.. ' MAN AND hlo bt-LIEFS. 0"fc Graat Rcllarlaaa Bodies of the World. The population of the earth at the death of the Emperor Augustus was stiniated at 60,000,000. Today It is calculated that this globe has a population of 1,603.150,000. Out of this vast number of more than a billion and a half of human beings it is asserted that all but an infinitesimal fraction of 1 er cent believe in and worship In come degree a supreme ruler of the Universe. There are seven great religions in the world. The Christian religion has the greatest number of adherents, 563,000,000. Of this number 350,000,000 are Catholics and 213.000.000 Protestants. These two great divisions are subdivided into Innumerable sects differing from one another on some poiut of dogma or church government. Next In Importance comes the worship of ancestors and Confucianism, whose followers are 283,000,000 in number. This belief Is confined almost exclusively to the Chinese and Japanese. In India there are 223,000,000 Brahmans. This form of religion has decreased somewhat during recent years, owing perhaps to the continual ravages of plague and famine in that country. But it still holds the third place among the seven great religions. Bralunanism is hard pressed, however, by the faith of Islam. There are 222.000,000 of these followers of the doctrines of Mohammed. The fifth on the list are the Polytheists, the believers in many gods, who number 130,000,000. The devotees of Buddha come next, 107.000.000 strong. These, too, have their stronghold in India. The smallest of the seven great religions of the world is Taoism, with 44,000.000 adherents in the Chinese empire and In Tibet. The next greatest religion, in point f numbers, to Taoism is the belief of Japan. Shtntoism. This has but 1S,000,000 believers. The Jewish faith now counts but half that number of adherents. But, unlike the otlrer great religions, the followers of the teachings of Moses are not centered in any particular country, but are scattered all about the world. Compared with the foregoing, the religions of the rarsees, while one of the most beautiful theoretically, has about the smallest following of any distinct belief in the iworld, 150.000. This sect has its home in India ami is best known to the outbids world by its curious burial customs, the famed . "towers of silence." JExyhance, On Lending Books. "Why Is it, I wonder," mused the woman philosopher, "that people always resent it when you ask them to return a borrowed book within any period shorter than a year? I would rather lend money than a book, for there is some chance of getting that back, but you might as well give a book to the average person as to go through the form of lending it." New York Press. RICHMOND I PEOPLE GOOD DRESSERS. i t 4t Very few cities in the United States can show as many well dressed people as Richmond, a large per cent of the men having their clothes made to order. Men can get fine suits made for $15 or $1S when the same goods a few years ago cost almost twice as much. For seven years Emmons Tailoring Co., have been making fine suits at $15 and $18 and the business has Increased every year.

Ashland Mansfield Marion The above is the percentage list of the Ohio State league when the seas on came to a close last week. It can be seen that it was a nip and tuck fight between the Ashland, Coshocton and Mansfield teams for first place. One of the important factors in the success of the Ashland team was its ability to pull out of tight places. This team was composed of four Mnncie V'ayers and one Richmond player, Jim O'Metz, the goal tender. His team mates were Fahrner, Fletcher, Edg'ngton and DeWitt. It is quite probable that the local quintette will secure exhibition games with Ashland, Mansfield and Coshoc ton teams. The local players are to bring these fast outfits here at their own expense and unless the fans give them good support the boys will be financial losers. BAIL IS NECESSARY Amounts for Various Misde meanors Has Been Fixied. FELONIES COME HIGHEST.

JUST AFFAIRS OF RICHMOND HIGH SCHOOL

This morning in the chapel exercises, the high school orchestra rendered two beautiful selections entitled "Mam' selle Napoleon'' and "Frolics of Cupid." ' Tomorrow the new high school paper called the Reflector, will appear in print. The students have long wanted a high school paper and if it comes up to their expectations it will bo a decided success. Mr. Thomas Campbell and Mr. John Smyser of Earlham college visited the school this morning. The Misses Augusta Mering, Juliet Robbins, Emma Nolte. Eliza Curtis, and Alice Locke were absent fiom school today and consequently their classes did not recite. There is a little verse from Riley which starts like this: "All my feelin's in the spring git so blame contrary." We the Richmond high school students say "Them is our sentiments exactly."

The downpour Saturday night simply drenched Athletic: park and had the weather been fair Sunday, it is doubtful if the game between the locals and the Indianapolis colts could have been played owing to the swampy condition of the playing field. Tuesday afternoon the locals will ugain line up against the Earlham varsity team at Reid Field. The game will be called at 4:3o and five innings will be played. This afternoon Manager Jessup and his squad are busily at work at Athletic park. Pitcher Moore, the Spartansburg recruit, has returned home. He stated that it was "too cold" to play ball. It is thought by other members of the team that the cold wave experienced by Moore effected his pedal extremities. Pitcher Mason, who was with Manager Jessup at. Marion, and at Saginaw, is expected to join the team today or tomorrow. BEHOLD IS PRAISED In Accepting His Resignation, Board of Commissioners Adopt Resolutions. A NEW PATROLMAN. About noon today the board of metropolitan police commissioners held a special meeting and accepted the resignation of Sergeant o.lseph Betzold. Resolutions expressing the regret of the board that Mr. Betzold should take such action, and raising him for his long and faithful service as a member of the police force, were drafted. The boar dalso appointed Edward Minke as a member of the force to succeed George Staubach, who resigned to accept the presidency of the board of public works. Mr. Minke is a moulder by trade and has been employed at the Wayne works. He will assume his new duties at once. No appointment as successor to Sergeant Betzold has yet been made. FYE ARRAIGNED WEDNESDAY MORNING Johnson Will Defend Accused Man. An affidavit charging assault and battery, has been filed against Clayton Fye, who is alleged to be the assailant of Miss Katherine McKone. The case will be given a hearing in the city court Wednesday morning. Attorney Henry U. Johnson has been' retained to defend Fye. The police are still confident that Fye is Miss McKones assailant, but Fye still protests his innocence. L1CHTENFELS IS GIVEN A FINE Charged With Assault on Clarence Fancil. In the city court this morning, Wil liam Lichtenfels was fined $3 and costs for assault and battery on Clar ence Faucet. The offense was com mittod January IS, but Lichtenfels left town at that time and has just re turned.

GRAND OLD MAN

PRAISES Timothy Nicholson Says He Will Be Elected This Fall By Indiana Voters. HE LIKES LOCAL OPTION. SAYS IF HE HAD HIS WAY HE WOULD PROVIDE LOCAL OPTION FOR EVERY DISTRICT AND BLOCK IN TOWN OR CITY. Timothy Nicholson stated today, that the temperance people all over the state were perfectly satisfied with the temperanc plank placed in the republican platform at the Indianapolis convention. 'Temperance workers in every part of Indiana are aiso highly pleased with the nomination of James E. Watson for governor. Mr. Watson's I views on the temperance question are I well known, and the temperance vorkers repose the utmost confidence in him," stated Mr. Nicholson. He also is confident that Mr. Watson will be elected governor. In the event that the republican party is victorious in this state, Mr. Nicholson states that it is almost certain that saloons in every county in the state, with the exceptions of the counties in which In dianapolis, Evansville, Ft. Wayne Terre Haute and South Bend are located, will be driven out of business. "The local option plan with the coun ty as a unit is a stepping stone to a to tal suppression of the sale of intoxicating liquors." stated Mr. Nichol son. "In my opinion the enactment of a local option law would be better than the enactment of a law which would suppress the sale of liquor all over the state. "If I had my way I would provide lo cal option for every rural district and for every block in a town or city. I think that if property owners on a cer tain square did not favor the establish ment of a saloon in that lT.ock, they should have the right to prevent its establishment." SIMPLE MEDICINES. Remedies That May Be Found In Tfatare's Drat; Stores. If chemists and druggists disappeared from the face of the earth humanity could still worry along with the simple remedies which nature yields, practically ready made. There is nothing to beat rhubarb juice as a cure for gout or rheumatism except water from medicinal springs. All kinds of scurvy and blood poisoning yield to the juice of lemons or of limes, which are the greatest blood purifiers in existence. Even doc-tors acknowledge that natural, fresh cream from cows' milk can give points to cod liver oil and similar nasty liquids in treating consumption. Common mustard used as a plaster or poultice is the best cure for a cold on the chest, and the white of an egg with sugar is the finest medicine for hoarseness. To cure a burn an application of the white skin that lines the shell of an egg is unbeatable, while the raw yolk Is a capital tonic. Iu fact, gardens and roadsides are full of herbs of which the juice or leaves afford remedies or palliatives for almost every disease to which humanity is heir. New York Mall. Luminous Centlpeda. Lizard, snake and natural electric light plant all rolled into one this U the luminous centiped, one of the most interesting creatures in nature. It Is about one and a quarter inches long and covered with short hairs. Its body is very narrow and appears to be in sections. In consequence of this peculiar formation the creature appears to move sidewise except when frightened. Then the natural electric light plant feature appears, and, with an almost instantaneous wavelike motion, beginning at the tail, the color of the reptile changes from orange to a greenish phosphorescent shade. Then, sparkling with a tiny streak of green light, the creature darts away to a place of refuge. When one of the pair is In search of Its mate, the color grows a bright yellow, but at will the centiped can resume its darker color, and then, if lying close to the grain of a piece of wood, is hardly noticeable. The Word "Canteen." A strange etymological history Is that possessed by the word "canteen" which has caused so much talk in temperance and army circles if its origin is correctly assigned to the old Latin "quintana," which literally means "of the fifth rank" or "fifth in order." The "quintana (via)" was a street in the Roman camp so called because it came between the fifth maniple, or company, and the sixth. Here all the business and marketing of the camp were done, and "quintana" eventually came to mean a market. Chicago News. Simplified. It is said of a noted Virginia judge that in a pinch he always came out ahead. An incident of his childhood might go to prove this. "Well, Benny." said his father when the lad had been going to school about a month, "what did you learn today r About the mouse, father." "Spell mouse." After a little pause Benny answered: "Father, I don't believe it was a mouse after all. It was a rat." Cleveland Plain Dealer. Sydney- Smith's Sharp Toitrvr.

CHARGESAREPENDIKG For That Reason Liquor License to Daniel Fanning Was Held Up.

OTHERS WERE GRANTED. Attention of the board of commissioners was called to the fact a charge of breaking the liquor laws is now pending in the circuit court against Daniel Fanning, the Main street soloonist, and his license was held up by the commissioners after they had passed upon it favorably. The members of the board said they did not knowFanning has been in trouble with the authorities. The prosecuting attorney will be called upon to conduct an investigation. The board granted a license to Thomas Graves to operate a saloon at Cambridge City, in the room formerly occupied by Oscar Williams, who was denied a continuance of his license. Through previous arrangement made necessary by the illness of his wue. George Klein was granted a license ! without appearing before the board. Clarence Jessup was granted a renewal of his license without question or comI ment. LIKE FAIR PLAY For This Reason They Gave Consideration to Opponents of New Road. ACTION ON IT DEFERRED. DEMONSTRATORS IT SEEMS HAVE NOT COMPLIED WITH THE LAW IN PRESENTING THEIR SIDE OF THE CONTROVERSY. It was only through their desire to indulge in fair play that the county commissioners showed any consideration at all for the opponents of the proposed $18,000 township road' in Washington township this afternoon. The petitioners appeared in commissioners court in full strength and declared they are in the fight to stay until the finish. The remonstrators were not represented. Alonzo Feemster. of Cambridge City, their attorney failed to attend the meeting and If the commissioners had been disposed to bring the matter to a conclusion without regard to the expectations and requests of the opponents, no exceptions could have been taken to their stand. As Uie result of their charitable inclinations, the final determination of the problem has been deferred until Saturday of this week. The remonstrators will be notified to appear. The remonstrators have not complied with the law in the presentation of their side of the question and for this reason their objection appears in the nature of a petition for an appeal from the commissioners to the circuit court than a formal remonstrance. W A. Bond attorney for the petitioners claims he does not believe the oppon ents of the road proposition have any legal right to present an appeal until the board has given a decision. He stated he is willing to avoid quibbling over the law as he recognizes it is the will of the people of Washington town ship that is more to be concerner. Mr Bond treated the unrepresented fac tion with a good deal of leniency. It happens that the names of eight property owners that appeared on the original petition for tho construction of the road now appear on the pet! tion for an appeal. Another petition stating objections to the road is pre sented by Theodore Crist. The men who appear as petitioners against their original petition are Benton Wagner, Charles Sorber Sr.. Charles Sorber, Jr., Jacob Wise, L. W. Beeson, A. II. Bertsch, Wm. Kimmel and Jos. Clevenger. Their original petition was presented in October of last year. In their second petition requesting an appeal, they state when they signed the first petition they were given to understand the construction of the ro would cost about $5,000 and since they learn it will cost $18,000 they oppose its construction. Two bids were received by the commissioners and opened. Both are below the estimated cost. There is some difference as to the form of culvert to be used and this difference appears in the estimated cost as presented by the contractors. A. M. Bradbury, of Straughans Station entered a bid for the contract at $16,500. C. M. Folger, of Columbus, Ind., bid $16.&7.. What Napoleon Owed a Drummer Boy. To Andre Etienne Napoleon owed a debt he could never repay. Andre was a drummer boy at the battle of Areola The canal at Areola was Napoleon's , Rubicon, for there it was decided that he and he alone should rise to unparalleled power, the phenix bird from the ashes of the terrible revolution. But he would not have won without Andre. His troops were ragged, footsore and half starved. The battle was going against him. All seemed lost. Suddenly Andre leaped into the canal and. holding his drum above his bead, swam across and on the other bank beat an irresistible charge.

COMMISSIONERS

TI.00PS FIRED OH ANGRY PORTUGUESE (Continued From Page One.) ders at Anjos and Alcantara the elections passed off quietly throughout the country, so far as the present advices indicate. Government Victory. In a general way the elections turned out as planned by the parties in control. The republicans who had but two seats iu the dissolved parliament, increased their representation to possibly ". In Lisbon they swept the populous sections of the city, but gerrymanders. Including the outside districts, offset, in a measure, this advantage. The republican leaders are raising the cry of " fraud." They claim that while government pressure seemingly was relaxed, the old electoral machinery was in full operation, because of the fear on the part of the government of a great republican movement, and that, therefore, the elections clo not represent, in any way the sentiment of the country. As the suffrage is limited to those who can read and write or who pay certain direct taxes, the republicans contend that it was an easy matter for the authorities to manipulate the register list against the republican partisans, among the masses, so per cent of whom are illiterate.

BIG DAMAGE SUIT WITHDRAWN Letters Defending Character The Cause of Suit. Tiffin, O., April . The ?,", damage suit of Elizabeth Mathias, against Emma Bowe, was dismissed on the plaintiff's motion today.. The action was based on letters defamatory to the plaintiff's character, which were barred by the statute of limitation. Both are prominent. Is is said the defendant is infatuated with a dentist by the name of Louis Keller, Miss Mathias' sweetheart. SPECIAL SESSION OF COUNTY COUNCIL Commissioners Have Request To Make. An extra session of the Wayne county council has been called for Wednesday. The commissioners will enter a request for an appropriation to cover the cost of placing a new bridge across Morgan's creek at Sugar Grove in Clay township. One abuttment of this bridge has been undermined and the entire structure is unsafe. PROTECTIVE RESEMBLANCE. Mimicry of Color and Form Com Anaoaar Iaarcla. An official of the National museum at Washington who has made manytrips abroad in the interest of that Institution states that in South American forests the butterflies and the birds are equally brilliant in their colors, but that the butterflies, being weaker, fall a prey to the birds. One very bright hued species of butterfly, however. Is not disturbed by the birds on account of the disagreeable odor that it emits. Singularly enough, some other groups of butterflies, which resemble in color the species Just described, also escape persecution by the birds, although they emit no odor. It is evident that the similarity of color deceives the birds, and thus serves as a shield for the butterflies. This sort of mimicry of color and form, which naturalists call "protective resemblance," is not very uncommon among insects. Another form of "protective resemblance" which exhibits much contrivance and skill is sometimes found among birds. Some birds hide their eggs among stones that resemble the eggs in form and color. The little "bottle tit" in England weaves a bottle shaped nest out of moss, lichens and spiders' webs, and when placed in a tree or bush the nest so closely resembles its surroundings that it can hardly be detected. The color and appearance of the nest are imitations of the prevailing color and appearance of the particular tree in which It is placed. THE GOLDEN CROSS. Bavaria's Kamooa Hotel la the Oldest In Earope. The Goldenes Kreuz (Golden Cross) at Regensburg (Itatisbon). in Bavaria, is the oldest hotel In Europe. King Ferdinand I. halted at it on his way to bis coronation in 1531, and no other hotel in Europe possesses records of such great antiquity a3 the Golden Cross at Ratlsbon does or can boast of having had so many royal visitors as have enjoyed Its hospitality. The existing visitors' books, which date from 1819, contain the names of more than 500 imperial, royal and princely personages.

The police commissioners have decided that, beginning with this year, all officers shall purchase two uniforms annually, one for summer wear and one for winter wear. This action on the part of the commissioners has met with the disapproval of the members of the police force and there ha been considerable grumbling. Many of the officers, it is stated, have two or more uniforms th;t ate practically as good as new and they cannot see why they should be compelled to burden themselves with new uniforms until they are in need of them. Sergeant Betzold probably expresses the opinion of a majority of the of ticers when he states that it is an injustice to local tailors to have the police uniforms purchased from an init of town concern. "Local tailors pay taxes toward the maintenance of the local police department, but the Columbus. O., concern gets the money when uniforms are purchased," is the way the veteran officer put it He also states that the overcoat parchased by the police officer last fall from the M. C. Lilley company were unsatisfactory and that every patrolman had to have his overcoat altered by a local tailor. Betzold a Veteran. Sergeant Betzold entered the police service in 1879 and was the oldest member on the force. Since that time he has served continually on the force with the exception of fifteen months time. He served three unexpired terms as chief of police. For two years he was chief under Mayor Moore. For eight months he was chief under Mayor Rupe and after the death of Chief Page he served as chief until the appointment of Chief Gorman who was succeeded by the present chief. Jesse A. Bailey. Six years ago Mr. Betzold was appointed night aergeant. As he had nothing but desk duty to perform he had no need of a new uniform, he feels. The new summer uniform for the police Is described as short walsted and buttoning up to the collar like a cadet blouse. None of the new uniforms will have pockets. "A man of my age would look nice in such a uniform, wouldn't he?" Mr. Jletzold remarked. Chief Bailey was asked this morniug to make a statement regarding the action of Sergeant Betzold iu tendering his resignation but he declined to Ray anything. It is not known who Mr. Betzold's successor will be. LIBERALS' POWER WILL NOW WANE (Continued From Page One.) On the contrary, among his friends his resignation is regarded rather as a good sign that the doctors are cowmore hopeful of his recovery when relieved of the anxieties of ofHce. Monday (April 6) had been fixed for Mr. Asquith to move in the houfe of commons the second reading of the licensing bill, the measure that Is regarded as the most dangerous of all the government's bills to the ministry's tenure of office. Under the changed conditions this debate probably will be postponed until after Easter and an adjournment moved to allow the chancellor to proceed to Biarrittz to kiss the hands on his appointment as premier and submit his proposals for the reconstruction of tix cabinet. Churchill's Chance. Among the interesting predictions is that WinBton Spencer Churchill, under secretary for the Colonies, will take the place of the Earl of Elgin as Colonial secretary, and that Lord Tweedmouth. First Lord of the admiralty, will withdraw in order to accept some other office. Mr. Asquith resolutely declines to be drawn Into any statement. Mr. Asqulth's accession to the premiership will be well received by all sections of his party, with the possible exception of the extreme radical and labor men who are inclined to see in his imperialist views the, end of some of their aspirations for socialistic reforms. Among the general public. Mr. Asquith Is looked upon as showing the highest career open to talent, having at a comparatively early age, from an Insignificant beginning, attained the highest position In the state.
