West Main, street in forming a club tov promote interest and general prosperity in their section of the city is commendable and should be indorsed and" appreciated by the Richmond pub lie The cityvhas grown too large to stand? as a unit in a business way and when; the center of the retail trade moved eastward the merchants of the old business district were left as community, to themselves. They now plan to win back their former pres tige and the energetic steps that are being taken promise to accomplish much. From Third to Sixth street, old Main is the historical part of Richmond. In the lays of long ago, when emigrant wagons with, their ox-teams dragged wearily westward along the National Road, the old inns and stores of that section of the city just before the long hill to the river was reached, were the stopping places of all travelers. To the east, the road ran through dense woods and beyond the old covered bridge, the lime-stone cliffs afforded nothing but a long steady highway, trailing ever toward the setting sun Richmond itself was peopled with pio neers and the Quaker villagers betook themselves to the crude stores of West Main for their luxuries and necessi ties. Increased population, together with the railroads, gradually shifted the business center a few blocks, where it has remained. But the old district, . now rebuilt with modern structures and closely adjoining the court house offers to the public an inducement that ought to make history repeat itself. The cry, "Westward, hoi" should be

the slogan and make the way for the pioneers of the new business club to receive the patronage that Is their due. Every effort 13 now being made to make the west end of Main street attractive and when the store fronts have been changed and painted, the new electric lighting installed and the

free band concerts commenced, the retail trade there should be doubled or trebled. The action of the West End merchants might well be followed by the business men in other sections of the city. A SANE MILK INSPECTION. The departure of State Milk Inspec tor Owens gives the city opportunity to consider the sensational outcome of the investigation that has been un der way here for the past two weeks. During that time, six dairies supplyng milk to Richmond patrons were condemned and ordered to make eerain improvements before resuming business. Besides this, the underpaid city milk inspector, drawing a salary of ten dollars per month, has lieen criticized for being lax in the perfor mance of his duties and the county prosecutor has openly objected to the methods employed in bringing about the investigation. It is a muddled affair that suggests, on the one hand, a lack of official su pervision prior to the present inspection, and on the other hand, it seems to be nothing more than the enforce ment of an extremist's views. Richmond wants neither of these. Calm reason would dictate a happy medium between the two, namely, a sane inspection that does not attempt to completely revolutionize the milk bus iness in a day. There has been little change in the methods of retailing milk since the world began. It took some three thousand years before people learned o have milk peddled from house to house in a wagon instead of taking a bucket and going out to where the cow stood in the pasture. That is as far as modern civilization has taken us and while the instructions of the state inspector are scientific in their import, it is unreasonable to suppose that the dairymen can comply immediately. Besides, the commercial basis s in vogue in the dairying business as well as elsewhere, and there is small profit for individual milk dealers in Richmond. Many cannot afford to erect new barns, build cement floors, put in more windows and the like. There is no Question but that the dairymen should be licensed and their product inspected. There should be a continuous co-operation between the authorities and the milkmen and the public would be served satisfactorily. All business depends upon one idea: common honesty between man and man. Without this, civilization would return to the times when each man hunted and fished and plowed for his own food. If the proper sort of milk inspection agency were established here, the dairymen would be forced to assert this honesty, if they do not now, and those who did not, would be driven out of the field by the other dealers. Something is radically wrong in the present inspection. The laws must be enforced, of course, and the Palladium upholds all just means of accomplishing this end and protecting the public health. But neither the public nor the Palladium countenance unreasonable and unnecessary demands upon the dairymen and an inspection that will bring satisfaction to consumers and dealers alike would be w-elcomed. A returning delegation from the Club Women's convention says many who were at Boston had heard of Richmond as an art center. Wonder if they ever saw the south-east corner of Tenth and Main. Carrie Nation declares she will use her hatchet on the first of those saucy "directoire" gowns that she sees. Carrie never tackled a woman before and the world is interested. "Race Suicide," costs Wayne county an annual tribute of over $10,000. Other sections of the state take that amount away because Wayne hasn't enough school children. There seems to be a lot of these candidates who "insist absolutely and with finality" that they will not accept the presidential nomination. Harry Orchard gets a commutation of his death sentence and the papers publish six lines about it. How short is fame, after all! REV. I. W. WILLIAMS TESTIFIES Rev. I. W. Williams, Huntington, W.

MOTHER

MAY LOSE CHILD Authorities May Take Little Girl From Mrs. Merle Campbell. MOTHER IS ARRESTED. HER ALLEGED ACTIONS WITH CHARLES BOREMAN LEADS TO ARREST BUT BOTH PLEAD NOT GUILTY RELEASED ON BOND. As the result of the arrest of Mrs. Merle Campbell, it is probable steps will be taken to deprive her of the custody of her three years old child. The woman and Charles Boreman were arrested last night on the charge of fornication. It is alleged that they have been living together at the home of the woman. 101 South Second street for some time. Roth plead not guilty in city court this morning and the cases were continued until tomorrow. The police assert the two have been occupying the same house for some time. The feasibility of placing a charge of keeping a house for immoral purposes against the Campbell woman has been considered by the authorities. When she appeared in court this morning Mrs. Campbell was accompanied by the child. Its mother and father are not married and this and the fact the mother is not regarded as the proper person to care for the child may result in its being placed in the custody of the board of children's guardians. Mrs. Campbell appeared in circuit court recently and plead for the custody of the child, who had been placed with a family residing north of the city. The court granted the request with the injunction to the mother that she rear it under proper conditions. Roreman and Mrs. Campbell were admitted to bail in the sum of $100 each. Two of Boreman's friend.? came to his assistance and one transferred his kind feelings to the woman and deposited cash bond for her. WANDERER LOCKED UP BY POLICE His Actions Suspicioned, But He Was Released. Frederick Burdett was found wandering about the streets last night and locked up as a suspicious character. In his possession were found a razor and a strop. The man's actions were peculiar yesterday and he had been under the surveillance of the police throughout the day. He claimed to be a stranger and after giving a satisfactory account of himself this morning was released. He was told to stop carrying the razor in his pocket or he would be locked up again. Only one arrest on the charge of public intoxication was made in con nection with the visit of the circus i yesterday. Willis Brown, who is black, was arrested. He plead not guilty and the case was continued until tomorrow. FUIIdk a Full Bottle. At a race course the other day a sharper wagered 5 be could put more water into a black bottle than any person present. An individual present at once filled the bottle with water and passed it to the sharper, saying: "There; I think she's as full as she can get. If you can crowd any more water into her, mister, go ahead." Without saying a word the sharper corked the bottle tightly. Then .be turned it upside down, and in the large hollow which is found at the bottorn of most bottles he poured about a gill of water. "I'll trouble you to hand over the money," he said to the stakeholder when he had done the trick. He received the stakes and coolly walked off. London Mail. Jackals and Crocodile Egc. Jackals and hyenas are very fond of crocodile eggs. The former is the more successful poacher of the two. Natives of central Africa say that the jackal has sixteen eyes, with one of which he watches the eggs and with the fifteen others he looks out for the crocodile. The hyena, on the other hand, being very greedy, has all his eyes on the eggs and so often falls a victim to the watchful crocodile in motionless hiding. The natives say, too, that the crocodile sometimes knocks its prey off the bank or off the canoe with its tail and then seizes it with its wide open jaws. According; to the Book. Miles By the way, old man, do you believe in dreams? Giles You bet I do: One night about a month ago I dreamed that an angel appeared at my bedside and said, "Prepare for the worst," then disappeared. Miles Well? Giles The very next day our cook left, and my wife has been doing the cooking ever since. Chicago News. A Boy's View.

WATCH THIEF NOW PLEADSJIOT GUILTY James Harris May Face Several Charges.

James Harris had changed his mind by the time he was arraigned in police court this morning and entered a plea of not guilty to the charge of petit larceny, lie is charged with the theft of a watch and chain belonging to Geo. Runge. Harris had admitted to Supt. Bailey that he stole the watch. The charges will be placed against the young man and for this reason he was bound over to the circuit court. Harris is accused of the theft of a razor belonging to Joseph Caveney and also the theft of a pair of shoes and a pair of gold cuff buttons from other persons. The latter cases are being investigated by the police department. Harris roomed at the same place Runge does and had access to the latter's room. Runge claimed he left his watch on the bureau, when he was awav. IlSrris told Supt. Bailey he took the watch with the intention of returig it. Later he admitted trying to dispose of it and said that he did not mean to return it. His bond has been placed at $Ui). CASES APPEALED TO WAYNE CIRCUIT COURT Walter Kellar and Mattie Graham Object to Police Court Verdict. Walter Kellar and Mattie Graham, who were convicted in city court yesterday of associating and keeping a house of ill fame have appealed their cases to the Wayne circuit court. The two have been released on bond. Jasper Barrett and Alice Nunemaker, the other two members of the group arrested Tuesday night have begun serving out their sentences. BREAD SUPERSTITIONS. Peculiar Ones Still Prevail In Rural France. There are some curious superstitions about baking bread in the course of religious seasons which seem so easy to prove fallacious that one has difficulty in understanding why they are still believed. One would think that some day a mistake would occur and the discovery be made that there was no force in them. Frobably, owing to the constitution of the believers, the failure of the expected result would be ascribed to some supernatural cause rather than the real one, and the belief would be continued. Most of these superstitions are found in France, the greatest bread eating country on the globe. For Instance, In upper Brittany bread baked on Good Friday, it Is declared, becomes black. In Charante it Is held that he who eats of bread baked on All Souls' day will become diseased. The flames will burst out of the oven in one's face if bread is baked on the feast of St. Nicholas, say the good people at Aube, so it is not done. In Burgundy the people believe that if bread is baked in the course of llogation week all bread baked during the remainder of the year will turn moldy. "The inhabitants of the Black mountains believe the same thing. The Sicilians refuse to bake on Good Friday, because they fear that In some manner they will burn the Saviour. The beliefs which other Europeans used to have in arly times demonstrate how illogical is all this superstition. These used to think that bread baked on Good Friday would not grow moldy, and the hot cross bun was included In this belief. Some one has shrewdly suggested that the spice preserved them. A piece of bread baked on this holy day, perhaps because of its holy character, was supposed to have miraculous powers if preserved. The house containing it would not j ratcb fire n uful for prevpnt ing whooping cough and if fed to cattle 111 of certain diseases would cure them. The natural deduction from all this is that in one country bread baked on a certain day will work ill and that baked in another on the same day will work good, which means that bread baked on that day is about the same as bread baked on any other. New York Tribune. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. Every mother is a trained nurse, with the two unimportant exceptions of the uniform and the wages. There isn't any greater waste of time than that spent in worrying because others are not doing their duty. A man may think he is boss of his own home, but after his wife has been sick once or twice he finds it is the doctor. There are a great many ways of becoming unpopular, but one of the surest is to rush in where angels fear to tread. When a man comes home and asks if "mother is home" what he really wants to know is if she is in the kltch en cooking. If there Is whipped cream on any old thing on the table a girl is apt to think that the requirements for a "dainty" luncheon have all been met Atchison Globe.

CHAPTER IV. The Waltz. ANCE with me!" repeated So nia. The faroff orchestra had struck up a dashing, pay Marsovian air. Impelled by the nvusie and her glance of daring, Danilo sprang forward. In an instant the two were whirling madly amid the intricacies of a wild liussian dance such as has for countless centuries been performed from Siberia's ice plain to Tartar steppes a dance of youth, agility, utter abandon. Yet as they came panting to a halt at the last crashing note of music the face of neither reflected the exhilaration th swift motion and stirring measures usually evoked. In fact. Danilo's brow wore a very perceptible scowl. Sonia. too, was downcast. Had her rash experiment failed? "You didn't enjoy that," said she. "Not especially," he confessed. "Did you?" "5To. You don't dance as well as vou did." "You've probably grown to prefer French partners." he replied, piqued at the reflection on his dancing. "From all I hear." she retorted, "you have little right to reproach me on rr score. Tju"TTmce" A gOo'Jeal ai Maxim's, don't jou?" "Now and then." he admitted. "And with what sort of partners, I wonder?" she scotted, a touch of scorn in her sweet voice. "With polite ones," said Danilo icily. She winced ever so little at the reproof and went on. "I suppose you dance better with them than with me." "Fossibly," he agreed. "You see, I, too, may prefer French partners." She raised her great dark eyes to his, a world of meaning in them. "Do you?" she asked, almost in a whisper. The distant orchestra had been playing again, this time not a native air, but a dreamy, infinitely sweet Viennese waltz. The opening notes of th haunting melody, though softened by distance, were wafted none the less distinctly to the listening couple. V4lo(2VarafJ Again their eyes met. With a mutual Impulse they drew toward each other. Then began a dauce as different from the stiflly conventional ballroom waltz as moonlight differs from a gasoline flare. With more thnu a hint of the free, marvelously graceful poses of Slavonic dancers. Danilo and Soula began their wondrous waltz. Throwing herself back into th? strength of his circling embrace, the girl's outstretched arms swayed like wind blown lilies In rhythm with the music, her light step scarcely touching earth as the prince guided her through the mazes of the dance. It was a strange, dexterous blend of east and west, of lissom oriental posturing and of gliding, modern waltz steps the very poetry of motion. Nor from the first note until the last strain of music died away did either dancer's eyes leave the other's. Love, enger ar.d eternal, was In the gaze of eneh. Ere s;iid openly to eye what sullen pride forced back from the lips. Then a last dreamy chord and the music was hushed. Daniio and Sonia started, amazed, as though from some vision of paradise. The widow, fearful let by impulsive word she might wreck her plan of bringing Danilo to her feet, darted breathlessly away to welcome a new group of guests. The prince, left alone, stared after her, open mouthed. A clapping of applauding liaxd? crov ',cV-'-rti,

"Bravo, -"bravo, my dear prince:' wheered the ambassador, toddling forward. "What a delightful little dance! But is it customary to catch one's partner in a jiu jitsu grip like that, or s it a fashiou that has come in since my waltzing days?" The old bore's feeble jest brought Dauilo quickly back to earth and to a sense of everyday surroundings. "Were you looking for me?" he asked, none too civilly. "Only to see if you had succeeded yet in finding who the lady Is with hoin Po Jolidon is in love, the must be ninde to win him away from any ideas of marrying the widow." "To blazes with that and ail tte rest of your silly plans"' shouted I:tn:lo. "Don't worry any more about the widow. It's no use. I tell you. She is going to marry a Frenchman in spite of us all! And." he went on bitterly, goaded by the chagrin and abject disappointment in Fopoff's face. "I'm going to dance- at her wedding." "Going to marry a Frenchman, is ehe?" yelled the distracted ambassa dor. "Freposterous! I'll fiud a way of stopping it: And it is De Jolidon she thinks of marrying?" "What's that to me? I don't know who she's engaged to, and" But Fopoff waited to hear no more. Catching sight of Nish. he rushed upon that unhappy clerk. "Find M. de Jolidon:" he commanded. "Keep your eye on him all the rest of the evening. See if he makes love to the widow and report to me. I have already told Mme. Fopoff to sound him on the subject. Among us all we ought to learn something before we're done." "You'll learn 'something if you keep on spying," muttered Danilo under his breath as he moved away. "But I'll bet a year's income it'll be something "A lady vent into the mmmcr hmisc with a grnfcman." that will give you more surprise than pleasure." Dusk was falling. Above the myriad colored lights that dotted the garden the mmiu was rising. Along one of the hedged paths leading to the summer house a man and a woman were strolling Mme. Natalie Fopoff and M. de Jolidon. "And so your worthy husband set you the tasfc of finding out whom I am in love with?" De Jolidon was saying. ""es," the ambassador's young wife answered. "He is afraid you will marry the widow." "Why shouldn't I?" queried De Jolidon jokingly. "You told me to." "But but you won't, will you?" she pleaded. "Why don't you look at me? What are you looking at?" De Jolidon's eye had fallen on the fan where it lay forgotten on the table. "The fan you lost and that youi husband pocketed," he said, banding it to her. "Thank poorness:' Natalie exclaimed seizin.? V: Ue

"Uud me" a 'pencil." She wrote a seuteuce on the fan dk rectly beneath the three words he had scribbled the night before at the balk "There." she sighed, handing it to him; "keep that as a reminder." He held the fan up to the light and read: "I am a dutiful wife "Remember that always." she adjured. "Natalie:" he cried passionately. "It is true I am a dutiful wife. 1! I have beeu foolish enough to listen to your lovemaking. at least I have neve! encouraged It. I have always rebuffed you for conscience's sake. I am a dutl-ful"-"Why remind me of the hopelessness of my love?" murmured le Jolidon. "You may refuse to reciprocate it. but you cannot prevent my telling you" "But 1 can. After this evening we must not meet again. My husband trusts me. This must be our farewell interview. Don't try to alter my purpose. I hare made up my mind. After this evening I shall never" "Natalie, you can't mean" "1 do. This is the last talk we two eknU ever have together." 'Then." Implored De Jolidon, "if it Is really to be our farewell interview, why must we talk here In the garden. ' where at any moment others may come to claim your attention? Grant me a final half hour of your society all to myself. Jx't the talk be uninterrupted. Let us sit la the little summer hous over there. See It Is empty." They entered the little inclosed arbor It was lighted by a string of Japanese lanterns, and two rustle chairs were at opposite sides of Its round center table. There was a door at each end of the tiny room an ideal spot for a tete-a-tete chat now that the moonlight had wooed most of the guests out of doors. The light wicker door swang shut behind the couple. Natalie quite enJoyed the prospect of listening to her adorer's melodramatic words of farewell and of posing herocially as a self sacrificing, dutiful wife. In half au

hour at meet she would rejoin her husband with the righteous consciousness in her heart of having dismissed for ever the one man besides Popoff who had ever made love to her. So interested was Natalie in De Jolldon's parting speech that she did not hear the ambassador, just outside, de dare excitedly: "Nish. I'm sure I saw that summer house door close behind a lady's skirt! Let's see who is in there!" (Continued Tomorrow.) DEFIED THE JUDGE! A Tin For Voting That Susan B. Ak thony Nvr Paid.
