"When you've gone agin. Strickland W. Gillilan, alias "Strick" will blow into town late this afterBoon, band out a few "wake-ups" tonight to a big chautauQ'ia audience and then he'll be "gone agin." Gillilan is a product of Richmond and anyone who disputes the fact will have the Young Men's Business club sicced on him. Bold, brazen parties have attempted to abduct Gil s world's famous poem, "Off Agin, On Agin, Gone Agin Finnegan," but no one had better pilfer Richmond's boast of being Glllilan's "home town." : Strick wrote "Finnegan" while city (editor of the Palladium and, some of his friends maintain, most of it was written while the foreman had his head through the composing room door bawling "copy." Seriously speaking Gillilan has had a wonderful career. Born with poe tic ability and the sense of seeing the ridiculous In everything, Gil contented himself with the life of a newspaper man In a small city, neglecting to take advantage of his wonderful abil ities, until he was past thirty years of age. He then started forth into the worjd as a literary free lance and his keen wit and beautiful verse with In a few years placed him in the fore most rank of American humorists. Today he Is mentioned at length in the American "blue book," "Who's Who." After making a pronounced success as a public entertainer, Gillilan severed his connections with newspaper I work, after having been connected I with the largest papers in Los Angeles, Baltimore and Chicago, and he ia 'now devoting his 'entire time to the lecture platform and making regular contributions to "Puck." Gillilan lives In a beautiful home In Baltimore, which he has named "Finnegan's Roost." Despite the great success, Gil has met with, he Is still the kindly, witty, lovable fellow as he was in the old days when he lived In "Joy Square" (South Fourteenth street,) chased the elusive news Item, labored over affairs of state in the Richmond city council and kidded with the office devil after "thirty" was In and the eheet gone to press. HAS BUSY SESSION West End Business Men Meet And Discuss Improvement Plans. want sub postal station , A petition is being prepared by the West End Business Men's club to have 'a sub-postal station located in that .section of the city. The special comimittee on this proposition reported Jthat the plans had been received very Ifavorably by Postmaster J. A. Speklenhier who stated that he would reIfer the matter to the authorities at j Washington. It is recommended that the new station be located as near jthe court house as possible so that lit will be convenient for the county j officials. The drug store of M. J. (Quigley has been named as a possible (place. At the meeting of the club last ievening it was decided to await the (action of the city in regard to the replacement of arc lights on Main street (between Sixth and Fourth streets. The kontract of the club with the city idoea not expire until September 1. jSince all the wooden poles must be removed from Main street by September 1, It is not known what will be done. During the ten short weeks of the organization, the business men of this district of the city have met with 'great success. Through the brilliant Illumination by electric lights and mu sic by the city band, and rare bargains. the club has succeeded in attracting large numbers of people to the west end or the business section every Saturday evening. At present the ex penses have been unusually heavy, but the treasury Is not In any financial (straits and the hustlers expect to have several more surprises on the rpublic before the cold season arrives ..

In his address before the teachers this morning Dr. Charles Zueblin of Chicago University advocated dancing in the public schools. "It ought to be taught" he said "because it promotes fellowship among the pupils and grace to the body. There is far too little fellowship in the world. Every person is wrapped up in himself. If dancing will help to make the coming generation more sociable then it has a place in the curriculum of the public school."

Dr. .Zueblin cataloged the six human wants as wealth, health, socfalibillty, beauty, knowledge and righteousness. It is only an arbitrary distinction which in his opinion keeps the ditch digger and the banker from mixing in society. The tendency of modern times is to increase this distinction. White Man Blamed. In speaking of the race problem he declared that the white man sets the example for the negro in outrages. The white regards the negro woman as his prey. It is only natural that the negro should retaliate. In speaking of religion he said that Tolstoj is the greatest living man because he is the most religious. Religion promotes fellowship. It does not hurt the religious man to mingle with the slums. Christ was crucified between a prostitute and a thief but he was not tainted thereby. For Savings Bank. Preceeding Dr. Zueblin, Dr. Phillips gave an address on banking. He advocated the savings bank in the school. This plan was first tried in Germany where it was successful. Later the plan was taken up in Pottstown, Pennsylvania. Pottstown is a mining burg of foreigners, consequently of poor children. In the first year that the savings plan was tried the children saved $10,000. The next year they saved $10,000. In six years they have saved $100,000. The plan is for each child to bring his pennies to school and give them to the teacher. When he has one dollar it is deposited in the bank to his credit and begins to draw interest.

Peru, Ind., Aug. l!ii.-Mr. Goodrich announced yesterday that within the next ninety days the Chicago. Cincinnati and Louisville railroad bed would be put in such condition as to permit the running of fast trains between Chicago and Cincinnati. Mr. Goodrich was In Peru yesterday and he stated that it was the intention of the receivership to make the C, C. & L. railroad one of the most uptodate in

the state. Two new through fast trains will be run daily between Chicago and Cincinnati and will be equipped with the parlor car and the dining car service, something that has been needed foe some time. According to the recent reports, the road is making money for the first time. It is believed by railroad officials of the different roads that if the right kind of equipment is used on the noad, there is not the least doubt but that it would be one of the most popular routes between Chicago and Cincinnati. At present there Is a large force of men working on the road bed in Straightening curves and doing other kinds of repair work which will make fast running possible. EFFORT TO LOCATE i Leases Taken Out on 612 Acres of Land South Of Richmond. LEASES LAST TWO YEARS. IF OILS OR GAS ARE STRUCK, OWNERS OF LAND WILL PROFIT ACCORDING TO TERMS OF THE CONTRACT. A revival of the effort to locate oil and gas in Wayne township such seems to be in prospect. Two year leases on six tracts of ground located south east of the city along the line between Wayne and Boston townships and on one piece in Boston township were filed with the county recorder today by David J. Roberts. The total acreage is (Uli acres. The leases, which are of two years' duration, provide that in case oil is found, the owner of the land shall receive a share equal to one-eighth of the product of the wells as rental for the land. If gas is found the owner is to receive the proceeds from the sale of one-eighth of the production and free gas for domestic and household purposes. Forfeiture of the lease is the penalty for failure to drill a well within a period of two years. The owners of the land that are concerned, and the acreage are: Eugene Anderson, T8; Levi Moorman. 01; John W. Raper, 81; Caleb Price estate, 105; William M. Roberts estate. 77; John F. Niewoehner, 105; in Wayne township and William M. Thompson, 54, in Boston township. Several attempts have been made to locate oil or gas south of the city, but the most of these attempts have been devoted to Boston township. The land concerned in the leases obtained by Roberts, is located south of the Wernle Orphan home and east of the tracks of the C, C. & L. railroad. Happiness. Human happiness, according to the most received notions, seems to consist of three ingredients action, pleasure and indolence. And though these Ingredients ought to be mixed in different proportions, according to the particular disposition of the person, yet no oue ingredient can be entirely wanting without destroying in some meassure the relish of the whole composition.

Members of the city council are in a bad humor with the Dayton & Western traction ocmpany. They claim the company is ungrateful for the efforts of council in its behalf, because the company has not taken advantage of the suspension of the Main street freight ordinance. Councilman Knglebert while in Dayton a few days ago told one of the traction officers that the refusal of the company to operate freight cars into the city along Main street pending the settlement of the franchise matter was unjust to the business men and a slap at council. Councilmen point to the fact that it is no fault of theirs or of the business interests of the city that the Dayton & Western franchise has not been signed. This matter is in the hands of the board and they state, the company should not vent its spite on the business men for the stand taken by the board. "If at the end of ninety days, when the suspension of the Main street freight ordinance expires, council, if so desires, can suspend the ordinance for another three months. However such action would be improbable if the Dayton & Western keeps un its present tactics." stated Mr. Englebert. It is understood that by refusing to give the local business men traction freight service the Dayton & Western hopes to club the board of public works into signing the franchise. The company feels that evventually, to secure freight service, the local shippers will rise up in arms and demand of the board that it sign the franchise. Thes hippers have petitioned the board to sign this franchise and the council has advised the board to take this action, but the board positively refuses to do so until the company agrees to amend the franchise by the insertion of a section providing for the acceptance of city car line tickets as fares on all D. & W. passenger traction cars doing a local business in this city. The company has positively refused to agree to such a provision.

NO CHARGE YET AGAINST HUNTINGTON He and McGreevy Still By Police.
