MASON HAS ARRIVED.

fWIRLER WILL BE A STRONG ADDITION TO THE LOCAL SQUADMEN ARE PRACTICING DAILY GETTING IN TRIM. (By Tort.) Pitcher Mason joined the Richmond squad yesterday and worked out with the boys in the afternoon at Athletic park. Mason hails from Columbus. O. He i3 a big fellow and looks like a ball player. Yesterday he warmed up his salary fin "by lobbing the ball in to the big mitt of Catcher Lindsley. Because this was his first practice of the year, he took no chances on trying out bis speed and curves. The local pitching Ktaff looks to be particularly strong. Fleming can be depended upon to deliver the goods throughout the season. Mason will be a valuable man, while Aresmith, Conner and Brown are showing up in splendid form. Nearly all the twirling Btaff is now suffering with an epidemic of sore arm, but this ailment will not last long. In June, Cole will report here and further strengthen the htaff. The infield will be superior to any in the league. Burns at first base, Parker at second base and Bambraugh nt third base, are fixtures. The fight for shortstop is a hum dinger. For this job Hedjuk. Fiant Minzler and Hanna are competing. It will be a hard task for Manager .lessup to make a choice from this bunch of candidates os all of them are good men. Huntington and Logansport would probably welcome the chance to secure any one vt them. There is only a small bunch of outfield candidates to pick from. Shinn will probably hold down left field. He ts a splendid fielder and fast on the bases. If he can hit .'.MO or better this year be will be a most valuable man. Wiltermood and Witherow are the two other candidates for garden Jobs. It is probable that the extra catcher, who will be chosen from two likely candidates, Lindsley and Clark, will hold down right field when Manager Jessup works back of the bat. It Is also probable that, one, of the likely looking candidates for the shortstop job will be sent to the outfield for a tryout. This afternoon the squad is playing the Earlhani team, a fine inning game at Keid field. All the candidates are participating. Manager Jessup left last night for New York to secure the players for the exhibition polo games, which will be ptiyed here under the auspices of the local lodge of Elks. During his absence Captain Parker is in charge of the squad. The up-to-date women avoid cosmetics, drugs and powders. They are extremely harmful to the skin, while Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea makes it clear and beautiful. :'h" cents, Tea or Tablets. A. G. Luken & Co. ALFRED F. POTTS WILL SPEAK HERE To Appear Before the Commercial Club. Next Monday evening, the Hon. Alfred F. Potts of Indianapolis, a well known traveler and public speaker, will address the members of the Commercial Club and their friends on ''The Drift In England." This address is not a literary effort but a thorough, interesting discussion on British public affairs and business interests. Mr. Potts touches upon paternalism, English corporations and general affairs. The entertainment committee for the event is composed of S. S. Strattan, Jr., J. Y. Poundstone and Howard A. Dill. COURT SANCTIONS NEEDED REPAIRS Tenants of Colonial Will Get Relief. Block Upon an order of Judge Fox of the circuit court, the receiver of the Colonial Block will be instructed to make such repairs to the building as are needed. It was represented to the court by some of the tenants that portions of the building are in bad repair and the condition is unsanitary. Thert1 was some doubt as to the ability of the receiver to make these repairs legally, but the court held it to be within the jurisdiction.

"For about the fifteenth or twentieth time I wish to call the council's attention to the action of the gas company and the water works company In digging trenches in the streets and not filling them up properly," stated Councilman McMahan las evening. He said that at the present time Richmond avenue Is practically a series of chuck holes. He wanted to know if the city could not take some action which would prevent the two companies referred to from ruining the streets. Councilman Deuker stated that it would be a good plan for the city to properly fill these trenches and then send the bill of expense to the companies responsible for the chuck holes. Mr. Deuker said that it was time some radical action should be taken by the city in this matter. Councilman Englebert claimed that

before the days of the board of public works, the streets and alleys committee of the council had city employes properly fill all chuck holes and then the committee presented the expense bill to the responsible company. He stated that there was never any trouble experienced in securing payment for this work. The matter was referred to the board of public works. THE "HOLY HOUSE." Legend of the Home vf Miry and the Saviour. Let me give the main outlines of the legend. At Nazareth was preserved with pious cure the house of Our Lady. The dwelling place in which she received the gracious message of the incarnation, the lowly home which sheltered the holy family for so many years, was a very precious sanctuary. On May 10, 1201, a mouth after the taking of Tripoli and Plolemais, this holy house was carried by the hands of angels from Nazareth to a place in Dalmatia between Fiume and Tersatz on the Adriatic shore. It was a one roomed edifice, built of red square stones, fastened with cement, and bore proof of age and oriental design. It stood without any foundations and had a wooden decorated ceiling. The walls were covered with frescoes; there were a door and a narrow window; inside were an nltar of stone, an ancient crucifix, a small cupboard, containing a few vessels of common use; a chimney and hearth, above which was a cedar statue of Our Lady with the Holy Child in her arms. The pastor of the place learned in a vision that the building was the house of Our Lady, the stone altar that at which St. Peter celebrnted mass and the statue the work of St. Luke the Evangelist. In proof of the vision he was cured of a serious illness. A deputation of four responsible persons forthwith were Rent to Nazareth to investigate the ! mystery, and they found that the i house was no longer to be found. j Measurement and other means taken ' proved that the house that had sud- . denly appeared in Dalmatia was indeed none other than that which had I ns suddenly left Palestine. Three years J after, on Dee. 10, 1204, the holy j house again disappeard and under i

the pontificate of Celestine V. came to ume- luar u curt"u' UUL ul aller luo Recanati, a little town in the march disease h8 ot a flrra hold hlmof Aucona. when it fixed itself in a ! Paranoia, which is a very prevalent laurel grove belonging to a pious lady I pe of insanity, is almost Invariably called Loreto. It was discovered bv ! Indicated by a peculiarly self satisfied,

pome shepherds and soon became rec ognized and was henceforth a much frequented place of pilgrimage. Eight 1 months afterward the house removed i to a small hill, three, miles from Recanati. to land belonging to two brothers, who, however, fell out shortly afterward over the division of wealth which began to flow to the new shrine. To save strife between the brothers the house was suddenly lifted once more and this time settled down finally in the midst of the public way, which had to be diverted in consequence. Here, too. In the course of time a chapel was built, which gave way in time to the present basilica. The famous pilgrimage of Loreto goes on today. Popes, kings and princes have visited this shrine and left great gifts. Later on a festival with liturgical rites was Instituted, and in time the feast of the translation of the holy house was extended to many countries. Fortnightly Review. Letter and Pound. I believe the stolidity of the English character and its implicit acceptance of authority are due in a large measure to the fact that long before it leaves the spelling class it is ready to believe anything. And this unquestioning attitude of mind is only rendered the more hopeless when it comes to learn that in one case twelve ounces make a pound, in another case it requires sixteen. Indeed, if we had sot ourselves deliberately to stamp out rational instincts and the habit of logical and thoughtful inquiry in the child mind, we probably could not have devised two more fiendish instruments than our scheme of spelling ou the one hand and of weights and measures on the other. London Mail. I natanipnl Letter In EnKlnnd. Many people are unaware of tbe fact that the sender of an unstamped letter can be proceeded against for the postage. The moment a person posts an unpaid letter he becomes a debtor to the post office. If it is refused by the addressee the sender is liable for the postage. An euormous number of unstamped letters are posted every year. No record is kept of the exact number. Many large firms give instructions at the postoffiee that unstamped letters are not to be delivered to them. They are then returned to the senders, and In the case of frequent offenders legal steps are taken London Lady.

BUSINESS COULD BE PROMOTED TO A BETTER ADVANTAGE AND PROPER LEGISLATION COULD BE SECURED. President John V. McCarthy and Secretary E. M. Haas, of the Richmond Commercial club, have for some time been considering the feasibility of organizing a State Federation of Commercial clubs. Such an organization has never existed in Indiana and Mr. McCarthy and Mr. Haas feel that It would be a great benefit to commercial organization all over the state. This project was presented to the directors of the Commercial club last evening and met with their heartiest encouragement. Mr. McCarthy and Mr. Haas were instructed to do everything in their power to create such an organization. Mr. Haas states that all the commercoial bodies in the state will be communicated with and an effort will be made to Interest them in the project. After the preliminary steps have been taken a meeting of representatives of the various commercial organizations will be held in this city, at which time it is hoped that the proposed federation will be organized. The purpose of such a federation would in the main be to promote business, secure suitable legislation and to guard the interests of municipalties. FORMo UK INSANITY. Premonitory Symptom iy Which They May Be Detected. There are certain premonitory symptoms of the more prevalent forms of Insanity that can be counted on, as a general thing, as infallible. In paresis, which is claiming its victims iu tremendous numbers, there are many physical signs that are almost incontrovertible. The exaggerated twitching of the facial muscles iu conversation, the occasional tendency of the eye to turn outward, the weakness of the legs, the flabbiness of all muscles, are preliminary symptoms that give warning that a man is about to break down. With the victim of mania the maniacthe symptoms are often similar to those found in melancholia, though generally the disease gives the victim an appearance of great elation. The eyes are abnormally bright, the features are alert and tense and an air of tremendous excitement is apparent. This is from a constant fear that something is about to happen. Another form of insanity Is prevalent among younger persons. Excessive strain, continual worry or trouble, al lied to a weakened physical system, are the causes. It manifests Itself through the gradual loss of some faculty that has been all right till now. The loss of memory for details is an alarming symptom and one that should be given careful and immediate atten tion. The patient, if taken at the right conceited expression or countenance. The patient poses, sneers contemptu- ! - 1 1 I . ..l 1 ' a. "U51 uu suu"s u, mendously "stage struck condition. He is absolutely controlled by the "ego." Everything to him is "I, I, I."

Old customs appear to be fast disap pearing in Japan, a fact which cannot be wondered at considering the childishness which lay at the root of many of the most picturesque, but in some of the Japanese islands the quaintest marriage formalities are observed. In houses wherein reside one or more daughters of a marriageable age an empty flowerpot of an ornamental character is encircled by a ring and suspended from the window or veranda by three light chains. The Juliets of Japan are, of course, as attractive to the Romeos as those of other lands. But instead of sere nades by moonlight and other delicate ways of making an impression it is etiquette for the Japanese lover to ap proach the dwelling of his lady bear ing some choice plant in his hand, which he boldly, but, let us hope, rever ently, proceeds to plant In the empty vase. This takes place at a time when he is fully assured that both mother and daughter are at home, neither of whom of course, is at nil conscious that the young man is taking such a liberty with the flowerpot outside their win dow. This act of placing a pretty plant in the empty flowerpot Is equivalent to a formal proposal to the young lady who dwells within. The youthful gardener, having set tied his plant to his mind, retires, and the lady is free to act as she pleases If he is the right man she takes every care of the gift, waters it and tends It carefully with her own hands,tthat all the world may see the donor is ac cepted as a suitor. But if he Is not a favorite or if stern parents object the poor plant is torn from the vase and the next morning lies limp and with ered on the veranda or on the path below. McCall's Magazine.

Because of the recent outbreak of smallpox In the north end of the city the expenses of the board of health has been much greater than was anticipated when the budget for this year was adopted by council last fall. At council meeting last night. Secretary C. S. Bond of the board of health asked council to appropriate an additional

S.'i50 to meet the expenses of this department of the city. The appropriation was made under suspension of the rules. Councilman Brown stated that he had no objections to the appropriation of this money, but. he stated, he had been informed that those people in the north end of town were being cared for better than necessary. Councilman Burdsall stated, that if the quarantine victims were being cared for as as the smallpox victims in the end of the city, he could assure Coun cilman Brown that "they were not be ing overfed or over-cared for." Mayor Schillinger Bald that the board of health was taking excellent care of the smallpox sufferers in the North End, and that this care should be taken. He denied that the board of health was extravagant with the city's money. At the present time there are eleven houses under quarantine in the North End of town. Within the next few days the quarantine will be lifted from four of these homes. Sanitary Officer George Young states that dur ing the past week, there has only been one new case of smallpox reported in the north end and that the contagion is well in hand. CAN NOT LEGISLATE . AGAINST BILLBOARDS So Thinks City Attorney Study. At council meeting last evening the following minor business was transacted: Councilman Burdsall called attention to the fact that a warning should be posted at the north extremity of Sheridan street to notify farmers that the street was closed while blasting for sewer system was in progress. Councilman Deuker stated that the property owners on North Third street were complaining over the condition of the street. The matter was referred to the board. Councilman Von Pein asked the city attorney if lie had devised any method for ridding the city of the billboard nuisance. Mr. Study stated that bill boards were private property and that the city could not legislate against them. Monthly Health Report Shows This. The health report for the month of March shows that, there were eighteen deaths, which is a smaller rate than for several months and twenty-one cases of contagious disease, fourteen of these being smallpox. There were more cases of contagious disease in this one month than in any month for a period of about a year and a half. Seven of the deaths as reported were persons over sixty-five years of age and none under nineteen years of age. In the past month there were thirty-

divided against itself. The republicans will have the responsibility of sending Walter S. Hatliff back to the house and for placing Charles L. ladd in the prosecutor's office-the one to make the laws, the other to see to their enforcement. The News says also: On the eve of the republican primary In February, Timothy Nicholson, leader of the local reform movement in politic, and former member of the state board of charities, carded the newspapers and warned the republican voters against nominating men who were in any way identified with the liquor interests. Mr. Nicholson and his followers had for days been using their best efforts to bring about the nomination of Lee Reynolds, of Greensfork, who opposed Mr. Ratliff. but the latter was nominated. Mr. Hatliff is

a Quaker and a member of one of the oldest and most respected families of the community. He is an officer of the Wayne County Agricultural society and a member of the state board of agriculture. At the last session of the legislature Ratliff's position on temperance measures failed to arouse enthusiasm among the majority of his close friends because of the fact that he seemed to favor the liquor interests. To friends who approached him on the subject, Hatliff denied that he had any such Interests, and declared that he simply voted as conscience dictated. He resented insinuations cast on him. but did not make public defense of his position. Mr. Blodgett's article in Saturday night's News, however, awakened the public as well as Mr. Ratliff, and in Sunday's issue of the Richmond Palladium, the republican organ, Mr. Ratliff made strenuous denial of charges against him.

This case was heard n the circuit court and afterward was taken ou appeal through the Bli preme court. The tiigher court sent the case back to the circuit court, no a to amend the pleadings. Judge Robey, of Indianapolis, has been making an effort to induce the supreme court to overrule itself in this caso ao as to avoid a retrial. Settled Out of Court.
