' To those who examine the industrial and mercantile history of Richmond. It will be found that there have been crisis or turning points in her history. The first crisis was that of road building. Here was Richmond in the heart of the wilderness, with bad roads or no roads. That was the time when as the way of the time said: "The roads are impassable, Hardly jackassable. I think those that travel'em Should turn out. and gravel'em." And then came the great national road and the times changed from barter with the Indians and the simple traffic of frontier and pioneer life. Even at that time there were those hard shelled and moss grown individuals with ingrowing dyspepsia who said "Richmond will never grow." But it did; Richmond grew, """it was not long until these same individuals had commenced their same story. But unfortunately for them and fortunately for Richmond, the railroad came In 1S33 and teams which had carried all the freight were dispensed with. And almost the same time water power was dispensed with. The next crisis was reached a few years ago In the coming of the interurbans those arteries of local trade which have branched out all through Indiana. They correspond to the coming of the National road and the coming of the railroads which had so great an effect on the growth of Richmond. And now to mate matters short, Richmond faces another turning point brought about by the activities of the Toung Men's Business club in the Good Roads congress and the gigantic

undertaking of the fall festival. This is another crisis. We still have the pessimists with us. But Richmond has awakened and the lethargy of the pessimists and the New Era is here. As a sample of the enterprise and energy and good management of the leaders in this movement which is an answer to the pessimists, take for instance the decorating of Main Btreet. At eleven o'clock In the morning the decorations had scarcely begun they had reached fourth. By four o'clock of the same day the street was a wilderness of extreme beauty. Festoons of flags, bunting, loops of electric bulbs all these were in place up to Eleventh street. And there is more to be done. Such work as this is what we mean when we say that Richmond is undergoing a regeneration A New Era. To all the outside world Richmond wants it known that the fall festival is going to be a success. It believes that no one can fail to recognize the increased business facilities and that the title to the Trading Center of Eastern Indiana is unquestioned.

GOOD LOGIC. The speech of James R. Garfield on the issues before the country this campaign wa a masterpiece not of eloquence, consisting of gestures and posturesnot of eloquence which consists of whooping it up and denouncing the opposition. It was far greater and enduring than that. It was a clear and quiet "talking it over" with the people of this vicinity. Mr. Garfield's logic was faultless and his manner irresistable. No one could fail to see his sincerity as he took up the trust question and showed that it was better to "make the corporations obey the law than to Invite disaster by killing business." No clearer exposition of the trust question in regard to the tariff could have been set forth-'the same tariff which promotes the large corporation fosters the small corporation. To kill the greater would mean the extermination of the smaller long before." Lop off the abuses and let the good stand. What won the admiration of Mr. Garfield's hearers was his announcement "I do not believe in vituperation and abuse. It accomplishes no end. Mr. Garfield had with merciless logic destroyed the argument of his opponents. This speech gave food for thought to every man who does his own thinking, and Mr. Garfield's hearers wore thinking people. It was a speech which was needed at this time. Everybody wants reason not blind following after a popular hero for the basis cf his political allegiance. That is the sort of speech needed in this campaign. Real fact and cold logic. HOPES TO SEPARATE GIRL FROM HUSBAND Takes Heiress Who Married Chauffeur to Europe. New York, Oct. 2 Mrs. W. A. Speer and her 18 year old daughter, who recently married the family chaffeur, Russell Thomas, in Atlanta, Ga., have engaged passage for Europe. The girl is a millionairess. Thomas is reported to be on his way to New York to prevent Mrs. Speer from taking his wife out of the United States. ROBBER! DISCLOSED New York, Oct. 2. A $30,000 diamond robbery has been disclosed at Oliver M. Ferrand's diamond store. A trusted employe failed to return from his vacation and an investigation instituted which disclosed the theft. The robery has probably been going on for a year1 and the amount of loss may exceed that amount. A former woman employe is also implicated In the systematic robbery scheme.

By Louis Author of "Wings of the Light," COPYRIGHT. 1904. Br "How many of you are there, then 7 "I beg your pardon?' "Are you alone?" "Yes." The clerk fumbled with the register. Precocious Juvenile were not unknown to him, but a boy of Philip's ?ype had not hitherto arisen over his horizon. "A sitting room and a bedroom en suite?" he replied. "Exactly." The clerk was disconcerted by Philip's steady gaze. "On what floor?" he asked. "Really," said Philip, -"I don't know. Suppose you tell nie what accommodation you have. Then I will decide at snce." The official, who was one of the most skilled hotel clerks In London, found it ridiculous to be put out of tountenance by a mere boy who could not be a day older than seventeen and might be a good deal less. He cast a critical eye on Philip's clothing and aw that, while it was good. It had not the gloss of Vere de Vere. He would paralyie him at one fell blow, little dreaming that the other read his glance and knew the exact mental process of his reasoning. "There la a good suit vacant on the first floor, but it contains a dressing room and bathroom," he said, smiling the smile of a very knowing person. That sounds all right I will take, It." "Ah, yes. It costs f 5 a day!" Each of the six words In that portentous sentence contained a note of admiration that swelled out Into a magnificent crescendo. It was a verbal avalanche, beneath which this j queer youth should be crushed into the very dust. ."Five pounds a day!" observed Philip calmly. "I suppose there would be a reduction if taken for a month?" "Well er during the season it is not er usual to" "Oh, very well. I can easily arrange for a permanency later if I think fit. What number is the suit, please, and will you kindly have my luggage sent I there at once? The clerk was demoralized, but he managed to say: "Do you quite understand the terms thirty-five pounds a week!" "Yes," said Philip. "Shall I pay yon a week In advance? I can give you notes, but It will oblige me if you take a check, as I may want the ready money in my possession." Receiving a faint indication that, under the circumstances, a check would lie esteemed a favor. Philip whipped out his check book, filled in a check to the hotel, and did not forget to cross it "ac. payee." The clerk watched him with an amazement too acute for words. lie produced the register and Philip signed his name. He was given a receipt for the payment on account, and then asked to be shown to his rooms. A boy smaller, but not younger, than himself a smart page, who listened to the foregoing with deep Interestasked timidly whether the guest would go by the e ta Irs or use the elevator. "I will walk," said Philip, who liked to ascertain his bearings. The palatial nature of the apartments took him by surprise when he reached them. Although far from being the most expensive suit in the hotel, the surroundings were of a nature vastly removed from anything hitherto known to him. Even the charming house he inhabited as a child in Dieppe contained no such luxury. His portmanteau followed quickly, and a valet entered. Philip's quick ears caught the accent ; of a Frenchman, and the boy spoke to the man in the language of bis country, pure and undeflied by the barbarisms of John Bull. They were chatting about the weather, which, by the way, ever since the 19th of March had been extraordinarily fine, when there was a knock at the door, and the manager entered. The clerk found the situation too much for him. He bad appealed to a fiigber authority. Even the suave and diplomatic M. Foret could not conceal the astonishment that leaped to his eyes when he saw the occupant of suit F. "I think you will find these room? very comfortable," he said for lack of aught better. A cornmissionnaire was already on his way to the bank to ask if the check was all right. "Are you the manager?" asked Fbillp, who was washing his hands. "Yes." "I am glad you called. One of your clerks seemed to be taken aback because a youngster like me engaged an expensive suit. I suppose the proceed ing is unusual, but there is no reason why It should create excitemeut. It need not be commented on, for in stance." "So, no; of course not." "Thank you very much. I have ; special reason for wishing to live n this hotel. Indeed, I have given thi address for certain important doeu ments. Will you kindly arrange tun I may be treated like any ordinary person." "I hope the clerk was not rude t you?" "Not in the least. I am only anxious to prevent special notice being taken of me. You see, if others pet to know I am living here alone, I will b? pointed out as a curiosity, and tha' will not be pleasant." The request was eminently reasu: able. The manager assured him thr strict orders would be given on th point instantly, though he was qnif certalu In his own mind that inqnlr would soon be made for this rernar, able youth, perhaps by the police. "You can leave us," said Philip t the valet in French. ' Now the , chance use of that lar guage, no less than his perfect aecenwent a long way toward removing V.u manager's suspicions. A boy who wn

Tracy, Morning," "The Pillar of Etc. EDWARD J. CLODE. J the common. Perhaps some eccentric parent or guardian encouraged him to act Independently thus early in life. He might be t-e son of a rich man coming to Iondon for a special course of study. The name, Anson, was an aristocratic one. Kut his clothes they were odd. Good enough, but not the right thing. "Will you obliee me my recommending a good tailor?" said Philip. "I need a complete outfit of wearing apparel, and it will sa ve me a lot of trouble if somebody will tell me exactly what to buy and where to buy it." His uncanny trick of thought reading disconcerted the manager greatly. Undoubtedly the boy was a puzzle. Never had this experienced man of the world met any one more self possessed, more direct and yet, with it all, exceedingly polite. "I take it that you want the best?" he Inquired pleasantly. "Yes." "Are you lunching In the hotel?" "I would like something sent here, if you please, and there again your advice will be most gratefully accepted." The manager felt that n generation was growing up of which he knew nothing, but he simply answered: "I will see to it. Do you er take wine?" Philip laughed, that pleasant whole souled laugh of his which instantly secured hlra friends. "Not yet, monsieur" "Foret Is my name." "Well. M. Foret, I am far too young s yet for either wine or tobacco. I promised my mother I would touch neither until I am twenty-one. and 1 will keep my word. I think I would like some cafe au lait." "I understand. Your dejeuner will be sent up in ten minutes. By the time you have finished I will have people here from two or three establishments who will meet all your requirements in the shape of clothes and the rest." An hour's talk and the payment of checks on account worked wonders. Before many days had passed Philip was amply provided with raiment. His presence In the hotel, too, attracted no comment whatever. People who saw him coming or going instantly assumed that he was staying with his people, while the manager took care that gossip among the employees was promptly stopped. As for the ragged youth with the diamonds, he was forgotten apparently. The newspapers dropped him, believing, , indeed, that Isaacstein bad worked some Ingenious advertising dodge on his own account, and Messrs. Sharpe & Smith never dreamed of looking for the lost Philip Anson, the derelict from Johnson's Mews, in the Tall Mall hotel, the most luxurious and expensive establishment in London. That afternoon Philip visited thi Safe Deposit company. He had little difficulty, of course, in securing a small strong room. He encountered the wonted surprise at his youth, but the excellent argument of a banking account and the payment of a year's rent in advance soon cleared the air. He transferred four of his portmanLAME

sraus to trio secure environment, inc fifth was sent to his hotel. When tblight failed he drove to the East End and made a round of pawnbrokers' shops. Although some of the tickets were time expired, he recovered nearly all his Tiother's belongings excepting her watch. The odd coincidence recalled the Inspector's implied promise that he should receive one as a recognition of his gallantry. How remote, how far removed from each other, the main events in his life seemed to be at this eventJeil epoch! As be went westward in a hansom be could hardly bring himself to believe that barely twenty-four hours had elapsed 6lnce he traveled to the Mile End road in company with Mrs. Wrigley. And the curious thing was that be felt in no sense awed by the possession of thousands of pounds and the tenancy of palatial chambers in a great hotel. His career had been too checkered, its recent developments too stupendous, to cause him any undue emotion. Existence for the hour was a species of well ordered dream, in which imagination was untrammeled save by the need to exercise his wits in order to keep the phautasy within the bounds not of his own brain, but of other men's. At the hotel he found the French valet setting forth a shirt. The man explained that he required a spare set of studs and links. This reminded Philip that there was still a good deal of shopping to be done. lie was about to leave the room for the purpose when the valet said: "Another portmanteau has arrived for monsieur. Will you be pleased to unlock it?" "No," said Philip. "It must remain untouched." He smiled at the thought of the sensation his tattered rags and worn boots would make in that place. Yet just a week ago he passed through the street outside bound in the pitiless rain for Johnson's Mews and bent on suicide. He walked into Regent street and made a number of purchases, not forgetting some books. A double 6ilver mounted photograph stand caught hla eye. It would hold the two best pictures be possessed of bis father and mother, so he bought It. He also acquired a dispatch box In which he could store his valuables, both jewelry and documents, for he had quite a number of receipts, letters and other things to safeguard now, and he did not wish servants prying eyes to examine everything belonging to hlra. When alone In his room he secured the album and locked that special portmanteau again, after stowing therein the letter found beneath Mrs. Anson's pillow. Soon his mother's dear face smiled at him from a beautiful border of filigree silver. The sight was pleasant to him, soothing to his full' mind. In her eyes was a message of faith, of trust, of absolute confidence In the future. It was strange that he thought so little of his father at this time, but the truth was that his childhood was passed so much in -his mother's company, and they were so Inseparable during the last two years, that memories of his father were shadowy. Yet the physiognomist would have seen that the boy owed a great deal of his strength of character and well knit frame to the handsome, stalwart man whose name be bore. Philip loved his mother on the compensating principle that persons of opposite natures often have an overpowering affinity for each other. He resembled her neither in features nor in the more subtle traits of character. After a dinner the excellence of which was in nowise diminished by lack of appreciation on his part he undertook a -oiljrrimare of curiosity to

A bansom took him to Holloway, but the first efforts of the driver failed to discover the whereabouts of the Royal Star hotel. At last Philip recollected the warder's addd direction "opposite. He dismissed the cab and walked to the prison entrance. Directly in front ho saw a small restaurant called the Star. Its titular embellishments were due to the warder's gift of humor. He entered. A woman was knitting at a eftsh desk. "Until yesterday," he said, "you sent food regularly to a boy named Anson, who was confined in the prison" Yes," interrupted the lady. "I on'y heard this mornin' that he was let out." "Would you mind telling me who paid the bill? I suppose it was paid? "Well, as a matter of fact, it was overpaid." was the reply. "You see. the pore lad was remanded for a week, and Mr. Jndd, a man 'oo lives in the Farrlngdou road, kem 'ere an' arranged for ls week's board. Har ye beard wot 'appened to Mm?" Thillp's heart was in his mouth, but he managed to answer that the boy was all right; there was no charge against him. Then he escaped Into the street. The one man he had for gotten was his greengrocer friend, who had indeed acted the part of the good Samaritan. There was some excuse for this, but the boy's abounding good nature would admit of none. He hastened to Farringdon road with the utmost speed and found his fat friend putting up the shutters of his shop. The restaurant next door was open. Thlllp approached quietly. "Good evening, Mr. Judd," he said, holding out his hand. "Good evenin', sir," said the greengrocer, his eyes revealing not the remotest idea of the identity of the smart young gentleman who addressed him so familiarly. t "Don't you know me.
