HIGH DEATH RATE IS NOT UNDERSTOOD

Only Three Cities in Indiana Had Higher Rate Than Richmond.

PHYSICIANS ARE PUZZLED.

6ANITARY CONDITIONS ARE GOOD AND EVERYTHING IS CONDUCIVE TO GOOD HEALTH JUNE REPORT.

Amusements

Only three cities in Indiana of more than 10,000 population had a higher

death rate during the month of June than Richmond, according to the statistical report of the state board of health. The rate in this city was 18 which is reparded as unusually large. East Chicago, Lafayette and Peru were the only cities with a higher rate. That of Kokomo was the same. The rate in this city wa3 far In advance of that at Indianapolis. Evansville. Ft. Wayne. Terre Haute and the ether larger cities. Local physicians say they are unable to account for the condition. The sanitary conditions of Richmond are Bald to be far better than those of many of the cities with a lower death rate. There was an unusually large Slumber of deaths of elderly persons In this city during June and this is in a measure believed to be the most reasonable explanation. There was no epidemic of any kind and physicians had no contagious diseases of a fatal nature which gave them strong opposition. The drinking water conditions are regarded as perfect and the high rate is held to be simply a coincident. The fact the rate was so high !n June does not necessarily indicate tt will be"that high for the entire year. The death rates of cities having over 10,000 population were: Indianapolis, 13.3; Evansville, 14.1; Ft. Wayne, 13.8; Terre Haute, 11.6; South Bend, 14.2; Anderson, 5.4; East Chicago, 81.1; Elkhart, 9.9; Elwood, 7.9; Hammond, 11.5; Jeffersonville, 12.2; Kokorao, 10.0; Lafayette, 19.3; Laporte, D.7; Logansport, 16.7; Marlon, 9.5; Michigan City, 9.1; Muncie, 13.7; NewAlbany, 16.4; Peru, 20.8; Richmond, 18.0; VIncennes, 11.3.

The Cutter Stock Company. When Wallace Cutter, manager of the Cutter Stock Company, now filling a two weeks' engagement at the Gennett, came into town and made the announcement .that he had the best stock company ever playing to Richmond business, his statement was taken with a degree of allowance, but since the presentation of tie opening bill it is pretty well agreed that Mr. Cutter has sized the situation up about right. He has changed and materially strengthened his company since its previous appearances here Monday night and last night. "For Home and Honor" was given in a most acceptable way, not only as to the acting, but as to stage setting as well. Mr. Cutter is taking special pride in the latter phase of the company's work and believes that the large sum he has invested to properly present the plays will be found a paying Investment. That a hit was made with Richmond people was evidenced by the enthusiasm of the large audience that thronged the Gennett. One of the new members of the company is George H. Hoskyn, who is cast for the "heavies," and If his work of Monday night is a fair example of his work, Mr. Cutter has made

an admirable selection of this part

of his company. Mr. Hoskyn not only acts the part, but looks the part as well; that is to say he has a splendid stage presence, which goes a long

way toward making it possible to carry out successfully the roles that he

essays. Miss Myrtle Bigden, Miss

Nellie Hopper, Norman Hilyard and

other members of the company have been seen by Richmond audiences on previous occasions. Specialties fill the waits between acts, Cato S. Keith appearing in comedy roles, Harry Cansdale in character studies and Myrtle Bigden in illustrated songs. Motion pictures are also provided. This evening ladies will again be admitted free. Today and Thursday "Angel of the Mines" will be presented, and Friday and Saturday, "The Black Hand."

THROAT EXERCISES.

vila That Com From Mlanae of the Vocal Orgim. The chronic sore throat Is not infrequently produced by the misuse of the focal organs. Very often that unruly Bttle member, the tongue, is accountable for the difficulty, as it is for a great jnany other troubles in this transitory life. Many people have a habit when talking; of pushing the tongue so far back against , the delicate membranes hat line the throat that irritation more br less painful is caused, and if it continues any length of time ulcers will form, and so will a doctor's bill. Control of the tongue Is excellent in kll senses of the word. Physically this brgan may be managed by depressing It into a hollow at a point three-quur-fcers of an inch back of where the tip if it comes when in a natural position n the mouth and at the same time Ringing very light head tones. This Exercise requires some patience at first, but the habit of keeping the tongue down Is soon acquired. In speaking or singing it should not be alowed to hoop up and fill the mouth, hus interfering with the free passage bf the tones of the voice from the throat to the front of the mouth, where they should strike and then escape Hear as a belL This hooping up of the tongue in the mouth is the cause of hiuch of the indistinct and slovenly utterances to which we are too often Dbllged to listen. In many people we notice the line from the point of the chin to the neck Is in the form of a right angle. In a Jthapely throat this line forms a curve, Just as a canary's does when the small fellow artist is warbling his carols. To develop the throat and make this rngle a curve stand before a mirror so hat you may watch the throat swell tout. Now thrust your tongue out as far as it will go, then draw It back Quickly and forcibly, at the same time bringing it downward in the mouth as far as you can. Place your thumb and forefinger against the larynx (commonly called the Adam's apple), and if you are making the right movement you will feel the larynx pass downward.

For a week or two make the" movements lightly. After that time put as touch force into it as you can. The exercise should be practiced for a few ninutes several times a day to insure rapid and good results. To fill up the hollows of the neck ftand correctly and then slowly fill the lungs with air without elevating your Shoulders. As the air is forced upward Into the throat hold it there a few seconds and then expel slowly. This exercise is best performed soon after rising in the morning and before retiring ftt alght New York Post

WOMEN ARRESTED. Figured Conspicuously in the Frank Gould Divorce Case.

New York, July 21. Frank Jay

Gould who is being sued for divorce on statutory grounds by Mrs. Helen Kelly Gould has caused the arrest of Mrs. Teal, Julia Fleming and

Harry S. Mousley on the charge of

inducing Mabel B. MacCauslan to give false evidence in behalf of Mrs. Gould.

Miss MacCauslln is a seamstress

who worked for Mrs. Teal, whose husband is known over the country as a

stage manager and promoter, gave the information in the nature of a con

fession. Her statement was presented

by Mr. Gould's lawyers to District At

torney Jerome. The alleged conspirators were taken into custody in the Wyoming apartment house.

Deep mystery enshrouds the incep

tion of the alleged plot and the District Attorney's office is working with

determination to get to the bottom. It has not been made clear just how Mrs. Teal figures in the case, but it

is said that the Fleming and MacCauslan women and Mousley were induced to take part in the matter through the suggestion of Mrs. Teal.

Chicago, July 22. The passenger department of the Illinois, Ceutral road has decided that hereafter no intoxicating liquors shall be carried on the dining and buffet cars of the company south of the Ohio river. This is due to the fact that some of the states and many of the towns through which the road runs to New Orleans,

south of the river, are "dry" localities. It was found that where liquor selling had to be shut off and opened up several times on a trip there was great dissatisfaction among the passengers. Less trouble is experienced if the drinking portion of the passengers are informed that there is no liquor aboard and will not be. Most of the Western roads still carry liquor on their diners, but keep the "bar" closed while the train is en route through prohibition states or localities. In the South several prosecutions and fines have been imposed for failure of the railroads to prohibit the sale of Intoxicants In prohibition territory. The cause of the official action on behalf of the railroads is in the rapid increase of local option territory which makes the sale of liquors unlawful. Several states have gone the local option people one better by enacting laws which even prohibits a passenger taking a drink from his own bottle. This law, passed by the Louisiana Legislature at its last session, went into effect in that state yesterday, and Texas has had a similar law in force for some time.

The Parsees and Their Dead. The Parsees refuse to burn or bury the bodies of their dead because they consider a dead body impure, and they will not suffer themselves-to defile any of the elements; hence their "towers of silence," fifty or. sixty feet-in height, on which the bodies of the dead are left to be devoured by the vultures, the bones afterward being thrown into a receptacle and covered with charcoal.

PASSES RESOLUTIONS. Sunday School Regrets Leaving of Prof. D. R- Ellabarger. The Sunday school of the first Methodist Episcopal church has unanimously adopted a resolution regret-

ing the resignation of Prof. D. R. Ellabarger as superintendent and the res

ignation of Mrs. Ellabarger as a teacher. Mr. Ellabarger was for some years principal of the Richmond high

school but a few weeks ago he re

signed to accept the principalship of

the Piqua, O., high school. The resolution adopted by the First M. E. Sunday school is as follows: Your resignation as superintendent and the resignation of Mrs. Ellabarger as teacher In our Sunday school, we assure Is most reluctantly received and accepted. We exceedingly regret to learn of your contemplated removal from our beautiful city and from our friendly, loyal, aggressive First church and

from our strong, growing, almost "ideal" Sunday school. In these years of pleasant associations you have been a prominent factor in our school and church life. We recognize that you have contributed your full share to the splendid success that has crowned our united ef

forts and we desire to express to you our high appreciation of the efficient service you have rendered. Your honesty of purpose, personal worth and sterling character have greatly endeared you to us all. As superintendent of our Sunday school you have been alert, you have held before us "high ideals" with wise counsels you have have sought to direct us so that we have felt entirely safe in following your strong efficient leadership. We wish to assure you that we do sincerely appreciate your loyal devoted service in our behalf and we very heartily thank you for youx kindly, intelligent ministry to us.

We have you and your dear family

si wrayjjea uuuuc wun coras 01 love that we hardly see how you are going to get away. If we could hope that it would avail, we would try to tighten the cords a little and hold you fast for we do not want you to go. but if you insist on leaving and are determined to have your way, we will compel you to leave something of your heart affection with us. for our "love cords" won't break nor weaken in only the distance of Piqua and it is a real pleasure for us to know that you are only going to that beautiful neighboring city. It affords no small degree of satisfaction and real pleasure to note also the high rank of our "city high school" of which you have been the successful principal for te past thirteen years. You w-ith your co-workers have brought it up to where it is now, the pride of our city and there is probably none in our state or perhaps in our land superior to it, in a city of the size of Richmond. The past year being, as we are informed, the most successful year In the history of the school. We congratulate you on these worthy achievements. But now you inform us that this will probably be the last Sunday you will be with us, in these to us, delightful relationships. We trust and pray that the kind Providence which directed your steps and brought you to us and has so graciously blessed us together as we have endeavored to labor in this department of the "Masters Vineyard" may continue his loving favor unto you and to each member of your household. May Our Heavenly Father grant us

all the ability to 60 perfectly do his

will, that we may have his constant approving smile throughout lifes opportunities here and enter at last into the fulness of our inheritance through Jesus Christ Our Lord.

TEMPERANCE LEADERS GREATLY AROUSED

Reports Importation of Beer

In Jefferson Tp. Cause.

Hagerstown, Ind., July 22. Temperance leaders here are aroused over many of the reports that have been

printed in newspapers concerning the alleged importation of beer, since the township was voted dry. It Is denied

j that beer is being hauled about by

drayload lots. It is beyond doubt, however, that voting the township dry has not deprived those who wish it from obtaining their "suds." Brewery agents visit the town weekly and solicit orders.

"It is rude for a guvat u look at hii watch." "Yes." "And ruder for a host to look at the clock." "Of course." "Well, how do polite people ever get away from each other?"

Time aoa EternityThe stream of time never runs dry, fcnd the ocean of eternity will forever bend its mighty surges mountain high against the bank of time's little Btream, sweeping with each receding billow over its expansive bosom the frail human craft from the shore of time, with earth's happiness, human affection, toil, trials, tears and sin, to the eternal shore of celestial beauty and bliss. Oh, mighty ocean of eternity, your wonderful anthem of life and death brings eternal woe and condemnation to him who is untrue to himself and his divine pilot, but to the trusting, faithful man it sings of endless felicity in the presence of time who has redeemed his people from the bondage of sin and has swept them through the pearly gates.
