In a fit of remorse because sbe had worked on a Jewish holiday Fannie Cbanon, a young girl of Chicago, committed suicide. i The spirit of Yom Kippur was in the air as bright faced children Journeyed with their elders to the synagogues and temples and there prayed for forgiveness for their trespasses. 1 But the day of atonement held nothing for the girl who sat in the park and said to herself: "Their right Is no longer mine. I have held aloof and will not be forgiven." "Do you not go to shule, Fannie?" asked one of her friend of the girl In the park. The latter turned away .-without answer. 1 So, most of the day, while the people were in the synagogues, neither eating nor drinking, but praying until the dosk closed on the day of atonement, the girl brooded in the park. And then she remembered bow, when Bosh Hashono ushered In the Jewish new year, instead of going to synagogue she had worked all day at the factory, where she sewed buttons on cloth. , She bad broken faith! In despair the poor girl left the park In the late afternoon. Sbe sought her opportunity and threw herself from the platform in front of an elevated train and was picked up, crushed, bleeding, mangled, dead. A single scrap of paper was found In one of ber pockets. It said: "As It should be, It was." And this story of her cruelly pathetic la here recorded because it gives one a glimpse Into the depths of a human soul. Ton say there was not sufficient cause for suicide, It was all a superstitious fancy, this anguish that tore the Jewish girl's heart. ButPut yourself In her place. ' Perhaps you cannot. The faith of your fathers has lost its-hold on you. Or, tf not so, you cannot realize what the departure of a great faith may mean. Nevertheless this Is true. ' Life without faith is impossible. ! Existence without faith is possible, trot life normal, abundant, high purKied and Joyous life without faith Is possible. As it should be, so it was." I That is a fatalistic sentiment, bnt ' Hopeless is that soul that sees no morning break With promise, that feels no poising thrill of joyous faith. The poignancy of such hopelessness may not end in suicide but it is the logical EAGLES WILL Cj 0BSERVE DAY Local Aerie Will Celebrate New Year's. Three candidates were taken into the Wayne Aerie of Eagles last evening. The order has made preparations for the New Year's social, which is an annual affair, to be held tomorrow. The order will keep open house to its members and visiting members all day. At the meeting next Wednesday evening installation of officers will be held. The outgoing president. Joseph Weishaupt, will probably be given some present at this time as a mark of appreciation of his faithful service. LETTER LIST. Ladies' List Mrs. Wm.

E TO RAISE FOR Y. FUND . CI Timothy Nicholson at Business Men's Banquet, C gests Debts of Institution be Paid Promptly. A $15,000 WORKING FUND SUGGESTED Former Secretary Brown Urges "Saloons and Gam bling Dens be Driven Out Foulke Defends Divines. A method for bettering tbe conditions of the young men of Richmond furnished the subject for addresses delivered last evening by several well known local citizens at the business men's banquet, served last evening in the gymnasium of the Y. M. C. A. buHding. Every .speaker spoke In the highest praise of the Y. M. C. A. pointing out it was the proper institution to accomplish the desired results, and a movement was started to raise another subscription for the purpose ot paying oft all the remaining debts of tbe Association and to start its career with a working capital of at least $15,000. A financial report of the Association was read last evening showing that its apparent indebtedness amounts to about $o,000. The banquet, one of tbe best ever given in this city, was in charge of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Association. It was attended by 275 interested men of the city and was served in three courses. The banquet lasted from 7 o'clock until 0 o'clock and during the entire time selections were rendered by the High School orchestra. Plates sold at $1 each and the receipts went to the association. Dr. I. M. Hughes led in prayer. Four Tables Occupied. There were four long tables running east and west at which were seated the citizens. At the west end and running north and south was a smaller' table occupied by the officers of the association, the members of the state executive committee, which met in this city yesterday, and several of the speakers of the evening. The gymnasium was simply decorated with holly and a few potted plants. At either end suspended from the balcony were two large American flags. On the tables were laid pieces of holly and also potted plants placed at frequent intervals. Between each decoration was a candelabrum. The effect of the lighted candles, which burned throughout the banquet, was very pretty., Delay in Assembling. Delay was encountered in promptly seating the large number of men in attendance. They thronged in the lower corridor and also passed inspection of the building. During this period of waiting In the corridor the men talked on the magnificence of the edifice and seemed imbued with the spirit of the association. Sharon E. Jones, president of the association, was the first speaker. He introduced members of the state executive committee who had to leave early in order to get back to their homes. Those Introduced were John C. Haswell of Marion. J. W. Landrum, Terre Haute; W. C. Belman, Hammond; Geo. W. Switzer. Lafayette; John F. Wallick. C. S. Rhoades, John F. Habbe, E. E. Stacy, A. W. Hansom and E. J. Jaqua, all of Indianapolis. Mr. Stacy and Mr. Wells will remain in the city for a few days. Rev. George Switzer of Lafayette declared that the state committee had enjoyed very much their visit to the city. He said the presence of the citizens and the magnificence of the new building speak for the future of the association. E. G. Hill Tostmaster. Mr. Jones then introduced E. G. Hill as the toastmaster of the evening declaring him to be a prize fighter for what was right and good in this city. As Mr. Hill arose he was interrupted by someone calling from he audience "You do not resemble John L. Sullivan." Mr. Hill has been one of the staunchest supporters for the establishment of an association In this city. He also believes that the young women of the city should have a similar institution and predicted this as a near future event. Mr. Hill with his slow speech and hesitating manner performed his duties as toast master in most excellent style. He had the audience baffled all the time because of this characteristic of the speech. Mr. Hill in his introductory remarks dwelt on the beauty of Richmond and said it was "no mean town." He also took occasion to slap at the city administration on the hospital question at the time he was discussing the beauteous buildings in the city. In speaking of the hospital he said: "How well fitted it is, and as a people we should give it support whenever possible." "I have the pleasure of introducing to you a gentleman whom we all know and whom I think took a great responsibility, according to Delevan Smith of the. Indianapolis News, and Mr. Pulitzer of the New York World, who, according to these two, is nothing but a stirrer up of trouble. Anyway we are glad to have Mr. Foulke. a resident of this city, and I especially am proud that he is a citizen of the sixth ward for it is the best ward in the city," said Mr. Hill. Foulke Defends Ministers. "When I was called upon this morning by the honorable toast master and

asked to attend and ay a few words, I asked him what I would talk about," stated Mr. Foulke. "He replied "Civic Righteousness' but before I could get to this subject I had to set it aside for a more important one: whether to tolerate the ministers in the management of the Y. M. C. A. This burning Issue I feel ought to be settled." He said there are certain fields in which, probably a minister should not enter, and one of these was declared to be politics. There were exceptions, however, and he paid a glowing tribute to a former citizen, now the chief executive of Colorado, Gov. Buchtel of Denver. The influence of the minister Is needed in most everything, was a statement made by the speaker. He settled the burning issue for all time to come by stating "If he is a good man. bring him In; if he is not, do not. have him in the management." He paid a glowing tribute to the city's most beautiful buildings, naming the Reid Memorial Hospital, the Morrison Reeves Library, the churches, the schools and the Y. M. C. A. He also spoke of the splendid factories of the city. "Money is good for one thing to develop sounder and better bodies and purer souls," exclaimed the speaker. "A city is great because of its great men, of great literature of works and deeds and ideals. This is the work of the Y. M. C. A. It affords opportunity to take the boys and men when these traits of character may be developed," Mr. Foulke said. Mr. Nicholson Speaks. Timothy Nicholson was the next speaker of the evening. He declared that he probably was taking liberties in speaking on a subject on which he was about to proceed but that as the invitation extended to him did not limit him to a subject he would speak on what he chose. Mr. Nicholson reviewed the history of the establishment of a Y. M. C. A. in the city, starting back 7 years ago. He declared the unpleasant subject which he was about to consider was that the association was in debt, and that "we ought to have $15,000 tonight to pay off indebtedness and establish" a working capital." He stated that this sum could be easily obtained by a little effort. He stated, "if you do, you will feel the better for it. Go ahead and establish such a fund in the next two or three weeks." Luther's Descendant Talks. A lineal descendant of Martin Luther, Rev. C. Huber of St. Paul's Lutheran church, was the next speaker. He declared that in the 15 years he had been in this city he had never seen such bone and sinew gathered together as was last evening. "The factory is known for what it produces. We have in the'Y. M. C. A. a new style of factory. It will turn out character and manhood." He stated that it was imperative that the association and the church have close union. He advocated the adoption of Mr. Nicholson's plan and stated that the people were looking forward to the product manufactured in the Y. M. C. A. Poems of Riley Recited. Selections from Riley and also of his own were rendered by Prof. E. P. Trueblood of Earlham College in most excellent style. Russel Gives Advice. Prof. Elbert Russell, of Earlham College, was next called upon and stated that he had been told to give an extract of a sermon. His effort was one of the-best of the evening. He advised for the establishment of many like institutions in the city. Warned against the use of profanity and declared that while all ot us do not have the Intellect to become great men that we do have sufficient intellect to make our environment better and establish manhood. "Destiny has much to do with one's life, but change your destiny to conform with all that is true and good" declared the speaker. Mr. Hill then referred to the men who had been very instrumental in the success of the association and referred to D. G. Reid of New York, one of the principal contributors, stating the citizens were indebted to him and should be grateful for his deeds. . Another one of these men, he said, was Charles H. Brown, the special secretary having charge of the solicitation of funds. Mr. Brown was greeted with a hearty welcome. He is very popular with Richmond people for his untiring efforts in the raising of the association funds. He was the sensation creator of the evening; He made the greatest impression by his words of advice. He in a Joking way said: "Sharon E. Jones and myself came from Pittsburg and were about the only good things ever coming from that city." The audience agreed. He said in part: Brown Makes Address. "The policy of the association is to read the signs of the times and make a practical application. You know that the Y. M. C. A. is an investment for deeper responsibility, morally and religiously. The temptations that are surrounding your young men are here because you say they may remain. Men, you are responsible for the condi-

tions existing 'today and you are moulding the character of the young men who will be responsible tomorrow. The saloon and the gambling den are here because men have been pleased to smile on them. But when business men move there is sure to be a commotion. The saloon and the gambling den will go when business men and newspapers get together and say 'go." When you permit these things to exist In your community get some antidote and apply tbe same treatment as when a child is ill. We have the moral responsibility." Not Treating Sons Fair. He declared that the fathers of today were not treating their sons fair because they were not giving them enough of that old Bible teaching which they themselves had had. Men of today are going too far in a business and social way," declared the speaker. He then spoke in glowing terms of the worth of the Y. M. C. A., valuing It not in terms of mouey, but in a way that would lead one to believe it was more than money. He called it a tremendous asset to the city. Fish Sends Telegram. Frederick Fish, of South Bend, one of the state executive members and an officer in the Studebaker works, sent a telegram to the association regretting that he could not be present. He wished the association much success and felt assured that such would be the result. He regretted very much that he could not be present. Business detained him at home. Other speakers of the evening were Rev. S. R. Lyons, pastor of the United Presbyterian church; E. E. Stacy and Dr. Allen Bramkamp. Dr. Lyons declared that the United States was the home of a people whose character was shown in two ways; by their manufactories and their homes. Mr. Stacy declared that this city had secured more out of the funds it had, in erecting and equipping the Y. M. C. A. than any other in Indiana. Expressions of thanks were given the Apollo club, the musical organization which rendered several numbers during the evening, by a rising vote. Three cheers were given for secretary George L. Goodwin.

ACTUAL YJ.C.A. DEFICIT, $15,000 Financial Report Shows Unpaid Bills Amount to Over $5,000. $10,000 WAS BORROWED TOTAL COLLECTIONS ON PLEDGES AMOUNTED TO OVER $90,000 THE DEFICIT TO BE RAISED PROMPTLY. A short summary of the financial condition of the Young Men's Christian Association was read last evening by Arthur Smith, secretary of the Board of directors. It showed a shortagT in actual cash of $5,273.28 and a deficit of $15,6GS.1S. The report is considered favorable. In fact several of the directors have announced that it is a very good showing considering the fact that the collections were made during a panic year. The association will take steps immediately to make up the deficit. The members believe that little difficulty will be encountered in raising the sum, as several of the donors have announced to the committee which has the matter in charge that they are so pleased with the association building that they will gladly increase their subscription. No canvas will be made to secure the funds. The Financial Report.

Members of the city council are up in arms over the proposition of meeting this evening in special session to appropriate money with which to pay for the South West sewer system. Therefore the meeting will be made as short and sweet as possible. Tbe cause of this agitation among the city fathers is that many expect to watch the old year exit and 1909 make its hteafclag entrance.

TEMPTATION TOO GREAT; LAD JUMPS INTO POOL

Unable to wait longer for a cool plunge such as he no doubt has been in the habit of taking in the summer time, one of the visitors to the Y. M. C. A. natatorium Tuesday afternoon plunged into the pool. His spirits were much dampened however and he managed to get out of the building w ith only a few seeing him. His name WILL INHERIT OLD SQUABBLE New Trustees of Jackson and Center Take up Predecessors' Fuss. QUARREL OVER A BODY RETIRING TRUSTEES OF TWO TOWNSHIPS HAVE BEEN DISPITTING OVER PAYMENT OF UNDERTAKER'S BILL. Newly elected trustees of Jackson and Center townships will Inherit an item of dispute between retiring trustees that has been a causus belli for eight months. It is the claim of C. T. Wright, an undertaker at Cambridge City, for his services in caring for the body of Edward Bennett, who was killed on the Panhandle railroad at Harvey's crossing, May 18. Wright's bill is for $24. He has presented it to the trustees of both Jackson and Center townships, and even appealed to the county commissioners, but has found no help. Bennett Was a Tramp. Bennett was a tramp. He was killed while walking on the railroad tracks. After his body was picked up it was carried to a point nearby that chanced to be across the Jackson township line. That would leave the disposal of the corpse with the Jackson township trustee. But Trustee Trussler, of Cambridge City, claimed the accident occurred in Center township and that Bennett was struck and killed on Center township soil. Trustee Cheesman said the body was taken to Cambridge City afterward, and he had nothing to do with the case. It was prepared for burial by Wright, hence his entry into the affair. Wright Works Hard. Ever since the affair, Wright has been trying to collect. Each trustee refused to pay, so appeal was made to the county commissioners. This body had no right to pay, either. The county does not have a fund for the burial of paupers, but each township has. Wright's bill has been returned to him and he must continue to look to the trustees. If the new trustees select to follow the same course as their predecessors in office, It may be that Wright will have to charge his expense of burial up to the profit and loss column. The validity of his claim is recognized, but the proper authority to make the allowance continues in doubt. CHARGE ISJCHAHGED Assault and Battery Instead of Rape Case Against x. ''A7 Colored CONVENTION IS PROBABLE Feeling there was no evidence that would substantiate a charge of rape, deputy prosecutor Ladd preferred one of assault and battery against Harry Miller, colored, in city court yesterday afternoon. The state failed to make its case, however, and Miller was acquitted. He was prosecuted upon the allegations of Mrs. Ethel Floyd, colored, who charged him with rape. Joseph Lamb, the other colored man, involved in the same kind of an affair with the same woman, is likely to be prosecuted upon an assault and battery charge, also. The police believe there would be a better chance to make a rape case against Lamb than there was against Miller, but it is hardly likely any attempt will be made to undertake such a case. It is claimed by Lamb's attorney that if Miller was acquitted, his client bears an equal chance. A, Patron of Art.

Seeing tbe swinging . ropes over the pool he attempted to jump and catch one cf them with the result that he went bodily into the pool, in about 5 feet ot water.

HOOSIEBSJO HOME Governor Hanly and Commission Inspect Vicksburg National Park MONUMENT IS FAVORED Vicksburg, Miss., Dec. 31. The In-diaua-Vicksburg commission and Governor Hanly yesterday made a formal inspection of the monuments and camp markers in the Vlck6burg National Military park, which were dedicated Tuesday and last night at 7 o'clock the Indiana party left for Indianapolis on the special train. The day was spent in riding over the park in carriages with Capt. W. T. Rlgby, president of the Vicksburg National Park commission, as guide. The Indiana monunuwits are scattered throughout the park and the governor and commissioners were also interested in inspecting the several state memorials which have been erected or are in process of construction. Governor Hanly announced at the close of the inspection trip that, in his message to the general assembly in January, he will recombiend an appropriation for the erection of an Indiana state memorial. A site regarded as ideal by the governor and the commissioners has been reserved for Indiana and Capt. Rigby is anxious that Indiana put up a memorial that will c: mpare favorably with those erected by Iowa. Illinois, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and other states.

Marshal John Harris and Officers Run yon and Sliver j were out Sunday west and south of town trying to rouna up several tramps who had been hanging about town for several days. They had a camp established in a large woodland west of town which was located by the officers but the men had moved. Sunday night Officer Runyon saw some stranger in the alley-way between the armory and the Gale building. On approaching him the fellow moved away and, when commanded to halt, he started to run. Runyon then fired his revolver, but this act only gave life to the fellow's heels, and he soon made his escape. It is thought he got aboard the late train from Cincinnati, as a stranger ran up to the depot and jumped th train Just as It pulled ouL PROF.

DAII CUPID HAD QUITE JHJSY YEAR Little God of Love Claimed Over Six Hundred . Victims.

NOVEMBER BEST MONTH IN PAST TWELVE MONTHS COUNTY CLERK ISSUED 326 MARRIAGE LICENSES OLD AND YOUNG SMITTEN. Dan Cupid was a versatile youngster in plajing with tha affections ot the young (and a few old) of Wayne county during l'.HK. He dodged about hither, thither, shooting his darts into the hearts of the unwary until be had numbered U."2 victims. The records of the county clerk's office show :J marriage licenses were Issued during the year. That was a pretty good business for Cupid. Strange as it may seem the little true-to-nature elf and advocate of the open air the .. did his most effective work In the cooler months. It may be that when the winds blew the hardest outside and the fire burned briskly In the grates Dan was better able to penetrate into the mysteries of lovers' hearts. Cool Months Best. At any rate, November was the price winner in tbe matrimonial race. November was an exceptional month this year from an atmospherical and barometrical standpoint The bright sunshiny days are not forgotten and Cupid evidently disported himself in a manner very much becoming a gentleman of his reputation. The sharp winds could not prevent his aim being true. It was better than in May, June or nepiemoer. me monins mat nave me best reputation for marriages. March made the poorest showing ot any month in the number of marriage licenses. February was a close second and January and December tied for third place. The number of licenses Issued each month follows: January, 23; February, IS; March, 12; April, 23; May. 27; June, 42; July. 24; August. 27; September, 32; October, SO; November, 43; December, 23. WAS FILED III Tiff Dayton and Western Claims Rate List Filed Novem-; :ber Second. SEC. HAAS URGES ACTION There seems to be much confusion in regard to the matter of the Ohio Electric Railway company filing its tariff rate with the Interstate commerce commission at Washington, which will have to be passed upon before the Dayton and Western company can establish freight service for the local shippers. Tbe officials of the Ohio Electric company stated to E. M. Haas, secretary, of the Commercial club yesterday, over the long distance telephone, that their rata had been on file with the commission since November 2 and that it had been there long enough for the commission to have acted on the question. E. M. Haas recommended that the Ohio Electric Railway company confer with the commission again on the proposition and hurry the matter up as fast as possible In order that the 'local shippers will have the benefit ot the Dayton and Western service.
