THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUX-TELEGRA31, 8ATURDAY, JANUARY 16, 1009.

AIIIIOCH LOST TO ; THE EARLHAMFIVE Quaker Players Showed Up in Good Form and Clearly Outplayed Opponents.

HOTCHKISS WAS THE STAR CLEVER. FORWARD WAS ALL OVER THE -FLOOR AND HELD HIS TEAM WELL. TOGETHER HIGH 8CHObL WAS DEFEATED. Carl ham, 38?. Antioch, 17.T It certainly was a big juicy . lemon handed the Ant ioch basket ball team at the Coliseum last evening by the "fighting five". ' representing .Earlham college. It was In the shape of a score of 36 to 17. . The Quaker representatives were at their best and their playing was almost without fault Antioch was fast and their team work was such that It kept the whole Quaker five busy breaking up their passes. Hotchklss and Tebbetts, Earlham star forward and guard,; played a whirlwind game and had their opponents guessing throughout the contest. Both showed plainly that they are two of the best men that have represented the Quaker college for several years. Cornell another of Earlham's guards played a fair game. Lindley at center was good, but not aggressive enough and too slow in his passes. Conrad plainly showed last evening that he has the making of a fast player and it Is expected that he will be one of the ctar men before the season closes. Antioch Played Fasti All the men from Antioch showed they were clever players, but their team work and fast playing was easily broken up. The team was awarded three points during the game by Referee Babb. The first half of the game opened at whirlwind pace. The visitors made the first score which was closely followed by a goal from field by Tebbetts. Both teams slowed down to some extent and with Tebbetts making several foul goals, and field, goals by Lindley, Hotchklss and Conrad, the first half closed with Earlham leading six Antloch's 12. Second Half Speedy. The second half opened with Earlham playing all around their opponents and in a short t?aie had the score Jitf to 13. Then the visitors were de liberately given ' three points, by the referee to save them from becoming disheartened and quitting the1 game. It was during this half that the superior playing of Hotchklss was plainly noticeable.' On sevei-al occasions he toss ed the ball from the center of the floor. He held his men together in excellent form and much of the success of the game is due to him. In the latter part of this half Conrad retired in favor of Reese. He is a good iudividual player, but takes too many hard shots for the basket. The lineup for the game was: Karrham Antioch Lindley. . , , . .. .F , ,F.

As a curtain raiser for the EarlhamAntioch game, the Richmond high school team was defeated by the Earlham Reserves in a fast game. Score 23 to 12. The High School lads were weakened by the absence of Haas and Allison, who are two of the star men. Thornburg was the star of the game. He made a number of pretty goals from the most difficult positions and was well applauded. Hiatt also of the city team played a good game. "GIRLS" AMUSING BUTVERY LIGHT Fair Crowd Witnessed Production Last Evening. "Girls" proved a laugh producing farce when presented at the Gennett theater last night. Outside of furnishing plenty of mirth and ludicrous situations, however, there is not much in the play. There are just three girls, plus a creature, who probably was a girl at one. time, in the cast. But these three have a great way In which to appear ridiculous, because of their hatred of the genus man. AH three have taken a solemn oath that they will not tolerate a man, and led by Pamela Gordon, the others do their best It is Pamela's spirit that keeps the compact in force.: The others are willing to backslide, but she keeps them bound firm, as long as possible. . The change comes with time, and one becomes engaged to a theatrical manager , and; the other, to- a law . clerk. After an obstinate fight, Pamela cap Uulates and becomes the betrothed of a young attorney. - The play was put on but fairly. Eleanor Burrell, Dorothea Sadleir and Ethel Strickland as the girls made the life of the play. The male characters were quite commonplace.

SWEEPING DEFY ISSUED. Centerville, Ind., Jan. 16. Lynn was completely outclassed lastevening in the basket ball game with the locals and the final score was 38 to 8. Lynn was over-confident of . victory. The line-up of the visitors included "Bull" Durham formerly center fielder for the Richmond, Portland and Van Wert teams of the I. O. league, but "Bull" had no mighty stick with which to wallop the basket ball and was easily taken care of by the locals. The locals excelled in every department of the game and especially the defensive. In the preliminary contest the second team defeated the Webster aggregation 13 to 11. The first team has games booked with the Indianapolis Y. M. C. A. team, also the Battery A team of the Tenth Regiment, located at Ft. Benjamin Harrison.

The remuneration of physicians originally consisted In presents, but at the time of Hippocrates payment in money was already customary. Physicians received also public praise, the "crown of honor," the freedom of the city, the privilege of eating at the king's table. Physicians employed by the state received a yearly salary, as high as $2,000 in some Instances. Rich people would pay enormous sums for a successful treatment, and a case is recorded in which $200,000 was paid. New York Medical Journal. on vwry

THE THEATER THEATRICAL CALENDAR. GENNETT. Monday, Jan. 18 Mme. Marches). NEW PHILLIPS. All Week High Class Vaudeville. The New Phillips. "The Interview" put on at the New Phillips this week end is a little com edy playlet picturing the efforts of a newspaper reporter in getting a story from an actress. If there were really as much humor In the real for sure interview as Hoyt and McDonald put into the comedy, about every pessimist would take to the newspaper profes sion as a sure cure. The singing of the act is about the best that has been at the New Phillips in some time Hoyt also does a little delicate work on the violin. For the original unadulterated smallness of stature Liable and Com pany (and the Company is just as bi as Liable) have anything, ever seen in Richmond pushed back into the giant column., A yard stick stood up by the side of either one of this team would lack only an inch or two of being the taller. Their work In com edy is pretty good and their singing acbles of the newly wed which is amus ing to the married and of an educational value to the unmarried. The Great Brandon Company does a turn at loose wire balancing, sling Ing knives, into t the air, juggling ,,and "monkeying" with a hoop. It is one of those quiet acts where nice little tricks are pulled off almost as fast as one can keep track of them. Three films of pictures and the illus trated songs complete the program. ABSOLUTE PROHIBITION. Columbia, S. C, Jan. 16. Bills providing for absolute prohibition were introduced in the senate and house today. THE NEW THAW TRIAL. White Plains, N. Y Jan. 16. The supreme court today granted . Harry Thaw a new trial without jury as to ids sanity. The trial will take place in New York county. The Human Nose. The human nose Is an apologetic pimple compared with the magnificent organ of the horse or dog. Our sense of smell is, when contrasted with 'our sight and hearing, singularly undlscriminatlng. We can arrange sounds Into series. We know E is between D and F. We appreciate octaves and harmonies. Similarly we can put the colors into order, decide upon the amount of blue in a purple and get almost to emotion at the sight of a white star in the blue of a summer twilight or of the amber sunlight glinting between the blades of grass. But this serial arrangement, this sorting and selective choice, is entirely bei yond our rudimentary senses of smell. ' To us the idea of the scent of the violet being a rich harmony or the suggestion that the frying of onions is a discord or that patchouli and the new mown hay are pleasant things in different times and keys sounds utter nonsense. Our noses are entirely too dull to effect the analysis necessary before scents can be distinguished as complex and sorted and recombined so as to be made an aesthetic pleasure. London Globe. The Dry Sjmd Trick. very clever trick often seen in India is the following: It is known as the "dry sand trick." The faker brings forward a pail.'' which be proceeds to fill with water. He then shows some ordinary sand, quite dry., To prove its dryness he takes up a handful and, blowing sharply upon it scatters It in all directions. He then takes up another handful and drops it into the water. We can all see it lying in the bottom of the pail under the water. Next, showing bis hands empty, be places one in the pail and brings out a handful of the sand. Blowing upon It, it still scatters in aU directions, showing It to be as dry as ever. This Is repeated several times until all the sand Is again extracted. This clever trick is performed in the following manner: Fine, clean sand is selected, washed carefully In hot water several times and dried in the sun. Some of this sand Is then placed In a frying pan with a lump of fresh lard and is cooked until all . the lard is burned way. The result is that every parti cle of sand is covered with a thin coating of grease, so that when this and is dropped into the water it rs

MERIT ONLY WILL

COUNT ECR JOBS, SAYS W. H. TAFT Young Men Seeking Appoint ments in the Diplomatic Corps Must Qualify for Their Positions, He Says. SECRETARY KNOX ALSO APPROVES OF THIS PLAN Few Years Ago American For eign Service Was a Joke, But It Is Now Splendid, Ef ficient Organization. By Guy W. Finney. Washington, Jan. 16. Young men throughout the country looking forward to a career in the diplomatic service may take cheer in the thought that during the coming Taft administration merit alone will open the door to appointment. This announcement may strike with particular force that class of young men who have achieved university honors. Aside from Mr. Taft himself, the best friend of this merit system will be his secretary of state, Philander Knox. In taking these consulships, which mark the road to higher diplomatic preferment, out of the political "grab-bag," Mr. Knox will follow the course of the present Secretary of State, Elihu Root, who can rightfully lay claim to being "the father of consular reform." Formerly Smiled At. A few years ago it could be said, and was said with truth, that the average American consul was "a joke"; that he had no right to represent this or any other country In an important diplomatic capacity, and that his pres ence as such was enirely due to a bad political system. Except in exceptional cases, the assertions would be without foundation now, and when Mr. Taft and when his Secretary of State get through with their pruning these exceptions, too, win be of the past. Changed commercial conditions, as well as the embarrassments brought about by incompetent representatives abroad, have made this consular reform imperative. It was either a question of divorcing the consular berths from politics or be .discredited ia tlje feyes of foreign governments. Though the change wrought has not been without opposition, and Mr. Taft, when he becomes Chief Executive, probably will be urged to return to the old "spoils" system, the results attained have proven the wisdom of the reform. Field Attractive. To the average American this field offers varied attractions. It may not have been so in former years, when most of these jobs were properly labelled "sinecure," because the consul's chief duties consisted of killing time and drawing his pay. The service is, now riding itself of the few incumbents who follow this exciting routine. While it is true that some consular offices offer a wider field of opportunity than others, none of them are without their offerings to the ambitious man. Many of those stationed in the various countries of South America, which countries are now marching to the tune of a quick-step to capture some of this country's trade, have found ample opportunity to develop lines of trade for home merchants, and thus benefit indirectly. Others have been offered alluring inducements to enter the service of corporations having a large shipping headquarters at the port where they were stationed, and still others have left the consular service to develop opportunities they learned of while acting as their country's representative. Taken all in all, this field would seem a vastly more Inviting one than formerly, and more so be cause, instead of being closed to all except a class of hungry politicians. It is now within the reach of all if they only show their fitness. EDWARD EDSALL GETS $25 FINE Found Lying in Gutter Full of Water. Edward Edsall was fined $25 and costs in the city court this afternoon for public intoxication. Edsall was found beastly drunk yesterday afternoon. He was lying in a gutter, which contained water, in front of the Mather Bros. & Co. lumber yard. Edsall was singing contentedly, when Officer Bundy awoke him from his revery. Besides his fine, the court sent Edsall to Jail for thirty days, making a total of 65 days with the sheriff. Relieves sour stomach, alcitatior of the heart Direstswhatyoue1 1

MANAGER OF THE SPA

Y. M. C. A. Enters Agreement With Celebrated Local Cook, Mrs. Fitzgibbons. WILL BE OPEN WEDNESDAY Mrs. Fitzgibbons, the noted cook of this city, has consented to take charge of the Spa, the Dutch lunch room at the Y. M. C. A. This agreement was reached last evening with the board of directors and it was announced that Wednesday noon would mark the opening of the Spa to the public. Prof. D. R. Ellabarger of Piqua, O., formerly principal of ifre-Jocal high school and one of those instrumental in obtaining the Y. M. C. A- sent his written resignation asaW member of the board and of several committees It was reluctantly accepted by the board. Reports on different subjects were made by the committees. That on the membership showed there were 615 members. Of this number 310 are senior members and the remainder, members ranging in age from 10 to 18 years. The rate of $9 to senior members remains good until Feb. 1. Mrs. Fitzgibbons' agreement with the directors is to keep the Spa open from 11 a. m. until 10 p. m. The Spa is open to the men of the city but special rates will be given the Y. M. C. A. members, approximating about a 20 per cent decrease of the general rate. The meals will be served a la carte. Mrs. Fitzgibbons stated to the board that everything she served would be "home made." ATTAR OF ROSES7 Bow This Delicious aa Eaaeasrsw Perflate Is Mod. The word "attar" Is from the Arab itr" and means perfume. So attar f : roses is simply perfume of roses. It Is j brought from Turkey and the East In-1 dies in small vials and is very costly. Even on tbs spot where It is manufactured it is extremely desr, because it requires 100.000 well grown roses to yield but 180 grains of attar. Its high price causes It to be often adulterated with some essential or fixed oil or with spermaceti. However, the adulteration may, be detected by testing It In a watch glass with a drop of sulphuric acid. If the attar be pure it will remain colorless, for pure attar of roses is colorless, but if it be adulterated it will become darkened. In rose fields, where the roses are grown for the purpose of making tbe attar, tbe busbes are planted in rows. In the early morning they are laden with beautiful roses, but ere noon comes, they are all gathered and . their petals distilled in clay stills, with twice their weight of water. The water that "comes over" Is put into perfectly clean vessels and Is then carefully covered with damp muslin clothes to keep out dust and insects. It Is afterward exposed to the night air or to artificial cold. By morning film is swept off with a feather and very carefully transferred to a small vial. Night after night this process Is repeated until all of the precious oil is separated from tbe water. BUSINESS SENSE. Well Ordered Desk Mesas m X7U Orr4 Mlad. "There's one piece of advice, said the senior partner, "that I'd like to give every young man taking a business position with desk attached to it. It's this: Keep your desk clean. What I mean by having a desk clean Is keeping everything possible off it except that which Is related to the matter In hand. I've observed in my time a good many men In their offices, nd I can say that with very few exceptions the real men of affairs are those who are free from clutter. "With a lot of papers in front of you it's almost certainty that some hour In the day you're going to be flustered, and very likely It will be Just when you "want a clear head The old idea that a mass of material every which way on the desk Is a sign that person is full of business is pretty well outworn. Such a collection not only Indicates a lack of order, but also is a sign that nervousness may be expected from the man in the chair. What with filing cabinets and other devices no excuse can be offered nowadays for confusion. "A well ordered desk means a well ordered mind, a mind taking up on thing at a time and giving It the proper attention. It denotes regularity and concentrated, effective effort." New York Press. Eaar Clasr Date's Spelllas;. In the good old dsys when th Dutch were supreme in tbe administration of tbe affairs of New Amsterdam everybody knew everybody else, snd it mattered little bow proper names wers spelled. Modern lawyers and civil service reformers would be shocked at tbe orthographical freedom of the clerks of the burgomaster's court of those times. Here is sample cass taken from the old Dutch records in which the name of a plaintiff is spelled live different wsys: In a case before the court In 165S Jan "Hackins" Is complainant against the' Inspector of tobacco, wbo has certified to Jan "Hockins" that the tobacco was good.
