Palladium office. 13-7 1 FOR SALE A car load of horses every SOLDIER OF FORTUNE KILLED BY TRAIN Walking Along the Tracks Near Jackson's Hill, E. A. Bennett Meets Death. NO ORDINARY TRAMP. BOOK WHICH HE HAD IN HIS POSSESSION TELLS OF THE INTERESTING CAREER WHICH HE HAS HAD. This morning E. A. Bennett, an unknown man in this part of the country, while walking along the Pennsylvania tracks near Jackson's Hill just west of Centerville. was struck by an engine and instantly killed, his spine being fractured. The body was placed on the train by the crew and taken to Cambridge City, where it will be held in an effort to locate the relatives of the man. Judging from letters and a book found on the body. Bennett was no ordinary tramp. It appears that he has led an adventurous life as he bore honorable discharge papers from the English Merchant Marine and from the English army. In the little book found on the man it is stated that he served in the English light cavalry during the Boer war and took part in the battle of Kimberly. His nativity is given as American. While a sailor before the mast Bennett shipped on vessels plying between Liverpool. England and South African and Australian ports. Where the unfortunate man was bound for when he met his death is unknown. Acting Coroner Want pier states that Bennett was neatly clad, had about twenty cents in his pocket and was carrying a bundle of clean clothing. He was apparently about forty-five years of age. It, is the general impression that Bennett's home -was in St. James, New York, as he had on him a letter signed by his son, James Bennett, and dated from that, point. Dr. Wampler states that the unfortunate man was of tine appearance, having a straight, soldierly build and a handsome, intelligent face. It is the general impression that Bennett was one of those rare characters who followed the life of a soldier of fortune and who called wherever he rested his head "home."

The ranks of the justice of peace of Wayne county are being depleted rapidly When asked this morning what he believed to be the reason, Judge Fox stated he does not know but the county would be. better off with nonp at all. The real reason is believed to lie in the fact that, the laws have tended to cut off so many sources of remuneration that the office is not found to be as desirable as formerly. The just ice's office has been regarded for some years as a position requiring little effort, and offering large returns. A few months ago Merton Grills, justice at Hagerstown. resigned his position. John W. Shoemaker of New Garden township withdrew from the position last March. Alonzo Daugheity of Jefferson township, submitted his resignation to the county clerk today. The bondsmen for Ira Pritchard at. Cambridge City have been asked to be relieved from their responsibility. ( Changed His Mind. A gentleman who once served on an Irish jury tells an amusing story of his experiences. When the hearing was over and the jury retired to their room to consider their verdict they found that they stood eleven to one in favor of an acquittal, but the one happened to be a very complacent old gentleman who rested his chin upon the head of a thick bamboo cane and announced defiantly that he was ready to stay there as long as any of them. The hours dragged on, evening arrived, and the old gentleman obstinately held out The other jurors wearily arranged themselves to make a night of it. From time to time the old gentleman would contemplatively suck the head of the cane. Finally he fell asleep, and the cane dropped heavily to the tloor. Then one of the Jurymen picked it up and found, to his surprise, that it was nearly full of Irish whisky. The eleven passed the cane round, relieved it of Its contents and then awakened its slumbering owner. Slowly he lifted the cane to his mouth, looked at his watch and then arose with the announcement, "Boys, I'm afther changin' me moind." London Telegraph. Inheritance of the Blind. The blind child the deaf blind child has inherited the mind of seeing and hearing ancestors, a mind measured to five senses. Therefore he must be influenced, even if it be unknown to himself, by the light, color, song, which have been transmitted through the langiiage he is taught, for the chambers of the mind are ready to receive that language. The brain of the race is so permeated with color that it dyes even the speech of the blind. Every object I think of is stained with the j hue that belongs to it by association and memory. The experience of the , deaf blind person in a world of seeing, hearing people is like that of a sailor! on an island where the inhabitants speak a language unknown to him, whose life is unlike that he has lived. ! He is one; they are many. There is no chance of compromise. He must learn to see with their eyes, to hear with their ears, to think their thoughts, to follow theii ideals. Helen Keller in Century. Sheridan's Star Actor. When Sheridan was a manager he even indulged in such catering to the public taste as offering to the public a dog piece by Reynolds, entitled "The Caravan; or. The Driver and the Dog." Of its first presentation It Is recorded that Sheridan after witnessing the performance suddenly entered the greenroom, shouting: "Where is he? Where is my guardian angel:" Presuming he meant to congratulate the author. Reynolds replied. "Here I am!" Tooh." replied Sheridan. "I don't mean you; I mean the dog." Later one Dignurn. who played in the piece, approached Sheridan one night with woeful countenance, saying: "Sir, there is no guarding against illness. It is truly lamentable to stop the run of a successful play like this, but really" "Really what?" cried Sheridan, interrupting him. MI am so unwell that I cannot go 011 longer than tonight." "You!" exclaimed Sheridan. "My good fellow, you terrified me. I thought you were going to ay the dog wts ilL"

SHOWS PLANT A SUCCESS FIGURES ARE GIVEN FOR PURPOSE CONTRADICTING STATEMENTS WHICH WERE MADE BY E. E. WITHERBY. At the council meeting last evening Mayor Schillinger read an interesting statement, submitted to him by City Treasurer Johnson, the purpose of which was to contradict the statement of E. E. Witherby that the municipal plant, was a poor investment. This report is self explanatory and is as follows: To Hon. Richard Schillinger, Mayor: I hand you herewith a summary of the accounts, receipts and disbursements of the city for and on account of the municipal electric lighting and power plant from its installation in the summer of 1902 to January 1. 190S as shown by the books kept by and in the office of the city treasurer. To make it plain it is necessary to explain that until May 1905, the accounts were kept entirely in the office of the municipal electric lighting and power plant and all bills were paid from that office and no money paid from the city treasury except when their was a deficit in the light plant's cash account. After May 1, 1905 all receipts were paid into the general fund of the city each week and all bills of whatever sort have been paid from the general fund. The books in the treasurer's office and the city light plant office agree that August 1, 1902, which was practically the installation of the plant the city had paid for the light plant a total of $158,582.29, of which $144,000 was secured from the sale of bonds. To meet deficits there was paid out by the treasurer in 1902, $21,341.05. In 1903. $1S.S3S.01. In 1904, $13,117.69. In 1905, S6.29L4S. Total to May 1, 1905 $219,170.52. There was repair the city May, 190.". by the commissioners cash on hand at change of office management $6,700,! which left a balance due the city of$212,470.52 at that date which might possibly be called the approximate cost of getting the light plant on its feet and self supporting. Since May 1. 1905 all disbursements have been paid from the general fund and have amounted to the following sums. In 1005, $25.3C!.7r. In lf; $53,681.84. In 1W, $79.751.34.

One of the stories of Peter the Great whlcb are current at the court of St. Petersburg is of the great czar's wrestling match with a young dragoon. Once in the imperial palace so the story gies Peter was at table with a great many princes and noblemen, and soldiers were posted within the fiall. The czar was in a Joyous mood, and, rising, called out to the company: "Listen, princes and boyars! Is there among you one who will wrestle with the czar?" There was no reply, and the czar repeated the challenge. Xo prince or nobleman dared to wrestle with his sovereign. But all at once a young dragoon stepped out from the ranks of the soldier on guard. "Listen, orthodox czar," he said. "I will wrestle with thee." "Well, young dragoon," said Peter, "I will wrestle with thee, but on these conditions: If thou throwest me, I will pardon thee, but If thou art thrown thou shalt be beheaded. Wilt thou wrestle on those conditions?" "I will, great czar," said the soldier. They closed, and presently the soldier with his left arm threw the czar and with his right he prevented him from falling to the ground. The sorerelgn was clearly beaten. The czar offered the soldier whaterer reward he should claim, and he Ignobly claimed the privilege of drinking free as long as he lived in all the inns belonging to the crown. What became of him history does not say. ATOMIC WORLDS. There May Be a Billion of Them In a Speck ef Duet. How would yon like to lira In an atom to be one of the millions of Inhabitants of a world so small that you cannot even see it beneath a microscope? The scientists tell us that each atom is a solar system, with its central sun and revolving planets In their orbits, rind that little atom people live and love and fight and die there and never know but what they are Jast the biggest and most Important folks that live. There are military atomltes there, no doubt, who strut around and get tangled up in their swords and give orders in gruff voices; actor atomltes who 4tar in atomic theaters and are adored by lovely atomlte maidens and criticised by the trenchant pens of the newspaper men. There is every reason to believe that life in the atom is much like life In the earth and that the kings and emperors there make war on their distant enemies and have their peace conferences and their periods of financial stringency. The joke of It Is that they probably take themselves seriously, and. though there may be a billion atomic worlds In a speck of dust, there Is never an ; Inhabitant of one of them that knows how small he is and how much he misses by not being a man instead of an atomlte. New York World. $!ow Mental Ripening. Not infrequently those mentalities that ripen the slowest last the longest and often the history of these great men has been persistent neglect and worldly coldness until forty or more years have passed before their greatness has been conceded by their contemporaries. Truly "the life history of a great genius is almost invariably one of a sad and somber tone, a walk apart from the beaten path." Such are the words of one who should know what the "doers of deeds" must endure. Be this as it may. It is now recognized that many of the finest achievements in business, statesmanship, literature and in all activities have been wrought by men long past sixty. Writes one, "Xo strong man w ill accept sixty as the arbitrary limit of his ambition and working ability." W. A. Newman Dorland In Century. CITY STATISTICS. Deaths and Funerals.

The Way They Were Arbitrarily Fixes) by a Frenchman. Stockings have always been measured by the inch from heel to toe. but the numbering of shoes was fixed a long time ago by a Frenchman, and it's so long ago that only oue New York dealer could be found who knew anything about It. Even he didn't know the inventor's Dame. The Frenchman permanently filed the numbers of shoes for all Europe and America. He arbitrarily decided that do human foot could possibly ba smaller than three and seven-eighths inches, so, calling this point zero, lie allowed one-third of an inch to a size and so built up his scale. Consequently a man cannot find out the number of his own shoe nnless he Is an expert at exact arithmetic. And even then he is likely to go wrong, because all shoe experts allow for the weight f the Individual and the build of his foot before they try to determine what size shoe he ought to wear. As far as women's shoes are concerned the problem is still more difficult, because many of the manufacturers. Instead of keeping to the regular scale, have marked down their numbers one or two sizes In order to capture easily flattered customera. For this reason most dealers ask out of town customers to send an old shoe with their orders. The system of measuring hats la much simpler. Any man can tell what size he wears by simply adding the width and length of the inner rim and then dividing by two. Orders can also be sent to the storekeeper by stating the circumference of the head. New York Sun. HOME ADDRESSES. Britons Have to Us a Lot ef Words to Writ Them.
