DILL TO RELIEVE SCHOOL OFFICIALS

House Last Evening Passed Measure to Benefit Second Class Cities. PUBLIC ACCOUNTING BILL ENACTED BY THE SENATE YES TERDAY WAS A.REAL REFORM MEA8URE AND IS A CREDIT TO BTATE OF INDIANA. . Palladium Bureau, Indianapolis, Mar. 2. The house passed at last night's session a bill introduced by Senator FVming and passed by the senate providing relief to the school boards of cities of the second class. It is Intended to relieve a situation that exists at Fort Wayne and South Bend since South Bend has been shoved up into the second class. Up to two years ago the law was that cities of that second class could issue school bonds for the erection of school build' incs up to 2 per cent of the taxable valuation of all of the property in such cities.. This was not sufficient. however, to meet the demands in the cities, and two years ago a bill was passed intended to give these cities the right to issue an additional $150,' 000 of such bonds. But it was found that the bill contained an error that made it limit the toal bonded school debt of such a city to $150,000 instead of adding $150,000 to the limit of is sue. - Fort Wayne and South Bend had already far over-reached that lim Jt and as a result they were powerless to issue additional bonds, as had been Intended. This session Fleming in troduced a bill to give the school au thorities power to issue bonds to the limit of 2 per cent of the taxable valuation in the city and this is the bill that passed last night. : Fleming car ried the bill through the senate and Representative Elliott of South Bend and Representative Roggen of Fort Wayne worked it tnrougU the house. - Explains Difficulty. Roggen explained the difficulty in Fort Wayne. He said that the present school, debt of the ctty is more than $300,000 and that unless the bill was passed the city could not build . a school house in the ; next ten , years, whereas the city intends to build four or five schools in that time. He said If the bill passed it would enable Fort Wayne to issue an additional $200,000 f bonds. Elliott explained that the same condition existed at South Bend and that If the bill passed that city could Issue probably $150,000 more- bonds for schools that are badly needed. The bill was passed by a vote of 67 to 3. Reform Legislation. . The passage of the public accounting bill by the senate yesterday, was the most important piece of reform legislation that has been enacted by the. legislature in many years. It will establish a uniform system of bookkeeping and accounting in all of the public offices and provide for fre quent inspections of all of these offices by state inspectors. This will eliminate the likelihood of any crookedness or graft in public office. The bill was not a political measure. It was ; favored, and supported by bustpees and commercial organizations all over the state. A CLOSE SHAVE. Many of Them Happening Every Day but Soon Forgotten. r v t Close shaves would be of more frequent occurrence but for the tender faces , of many men, which will not permit of - shaving T often. Heretofore, nothing has been said in these columns about poslam. a new skin -discovery, in connection with Its use after shaving. Its publicity and sales have been confined almost exclusively to Its remarkable properties as an , eczema cure; it stops the Itching at once and cures the worst cases in a few days. While the application of poslam after shaving Is one of its minor uses, such as for pimples- the complexion, etc., shavers will find it a revelation; as it does for abrasions, roughness, and severe scrapings what it does for all manner of skin difficulties heals and cures in a few hours. It is the only article possessing real antiseptic and curative value that has ever been exploited for this purpose, and will soothe and tone ; up the skin as no toilet preparation could possibly do. Poslam can be had for fifty cents at any reliable druggist's, particularly W H. Sudhof fr who make a specialty of it Or the Emergency Laboratories, No. 33 West 25th Street. New York City, will send a trial supply free by mail to any one who will write for it. ' This is sufficient to show results ta 24 hours. If other (to children' who hare come to be inspected before going to a party) Well, darlings, you look very nice, bat, oh, baby, dear, I think your hair is rather overdone.

Rork's distinguished musical extravaganza, "The Land of Nod," will be presented at the Gennett on Friday, March . The rare splendors of this stage spectacle appear to be perfectly familiar to a large proportion of theater goers of Richmond, inasmuch as there is an unusually large advance sale of seats, which indicates that the famous production will be witnessed by as many people as can get within, the four walls of the house. That the performance will bf hugely enjoyed is a foregone couclusion because praise of the unstinted kind which has preceded the show is not bestowed upon any but entertainments of the highest type. "A Midsummer Night's Dream." Any opportunity to witness an artistic performance of Shakespeare's glorious fantasy "A Midsummer Night's Dream" should be welcomed as a privilege to be prized by every lover of the master dramatist's works and by every intelligent citizen, who appreciates that which is finest in literature and is willing to support worth illustrations of ' it in dramatic garb. When, however, such a rare combination as the Ben Greet Players and tlie Russian Symphony orchestra of New York is employed in the prtsentation ofthe Shakespearian' work and in the performance of the music which it inspired Mendelssohn to compose, the occasion should call forth an audience limited in size only by the capacity of 4 the theater or the hall, wherever the play may be given. "A Midsummer Night's Dream" will be presented by these united forces at the Gennett and Richmond playgoers may consider themselves fortunate in having their" city included in the company's tour. The ability of tlie Greet Players to give an illusive and charming performance of the play has been conclusively proven. For the presentation of the work at the Gennett theater the suitable background used recently in Carnegie Hall, New York, will be employed. By "their performances of . Shakespeare drama in the so-called Elizabethan manner, the Ben Greet Players have earned a unique position for themselves In the artistic life of England and this country. :-l:':r:'-':y' "Graustark." If there Is a financial panic it .has not been felt to any extent in the theatres where Geo. Barr McCutcheoa's play of "Graustark" has been appearing for, according to exchanges, the audiences have been limited only by the size of the theatres. One of the surest and quickest ways to make a fortune in the theatrical business is to secure the dramatic rights to a. popular novel. "Graustark" or A Love Behind a Throne, by Geo. Barr : McCutcheon, author of "Brewster's Millions," has drawn crowded houses in every city where the company has appeared since the opening up oV the season, and may be termed the one big sensational success of the year. '"The Lion and the Mouse." Charies Klein's great play,, "The Lion and the Mouse," which Henry B.v Harris will produce here at the Gennett theatre, matinee and night, March 6, contains elements of vital ln: terest to all classes of people. The portraiture of the octupus of finance, who, stern in his attitude to all, even to his wife and children, is relentless to his enemy, treading under his golden heel all those who oppose him or his colossal schemes. The other is a characterization of a young and beautiful girl, the daughter of the Judge who is being driven to the wall with impeachment and disgrace as the result of his righteous decision against the trusts So that in "The Lion and the Mouse," Mr. Klein has given us an idea of the influence of money and politics in the affairs of the general public of today. For the interpretations of the most successful of plays Henry B. Harris has gathered together an exceptionally fine cast and its advent here should prove a most interesting one. . John W. Vogel's Minstrels. Which comes to the Gennett theatre in March is considered one of the best minstrel shows on the road this season, and1, is different from all others. Roy Peck, a Richmond boy, who is with the show this season is more than making good and the papers througn the East have been giving him a lot of space lately. Mr. F. O. Bechtol, who is business manager for Mr. Togo!, tells the following: story on Roy. A few weeks ago the show was playing Waverly, New York, and Roy went to the manager of the opera house and had him tell the stage hands that they all had to black up that night as they were to take part in the show; so when the boys came to the theatre that night from the hotel they found all of the stage hands all there and blacked up and waiting for the time to go on the stage, but after the show got started and they were not called, they started to thinking and when the first part was over and they had still taken no part, only a thinking part, and the second part of the show started and they still : were not called, they commenced to get mad. and at the end of the show they wanted to whip some one. Well, Roy says he had to take the whole bunch out after the show and treat them, and that was the only way that he could square himself with them, but he says he will never try to make actors out of stage hands again as all of the thanks he got was that they wanted to whip him. -This com

pany, numbering close to 30 people, will appear here in March and no doubt will be greeted by a full house if for no other reason than that they have a local boy with the show. The New Phillips. When it comes to one-act comedies in a vaudeville house, Frank Maltese & Co., who are showing at the New Phillips today and tomorrow matinee and evening, have the rest of the short line artists backed off into the wings. It's situation which counts with them, both in the matter of salary and from a point of art And the many clever situations in' their E Plurlbus Unum list of amusers lose their cleverness to give way to responsive laughter which is uncontrolable. "The Wrong Mrs. Appleton" is a drawing card and the company is five aces. There Is nothing poor about Harlem Bros., the comic acrobats. These men have something new in the acrobatic line, which they turn into fun-making with natural talent. A little burlesque which -they pull off on the legerdemain fiend is quite amusing. "A Girl at the Helm." Miss Lee Johnstone, who "all but" won the Chorus Girls' Marathon race between St. Paul and Minneapolis on Feb. 4. will shortly be seen here when "A Girl at the Helm," jthe latest LaSalle Theatre (Chicago) musical success comes to Richmond, Friday, March 5. Although Miss Johnstone did not win the race, her record was such an exceptionally fat one, that she received no end of attention from the newspapers of the entire country. She was prevented from winning by a freight train which blocked her path for three minutes. Her competitor beat her by exactly two minutes. Mis3 Johnstone coverea the more than twelve miles distance between St. Paul and Minneapolis in the remarkable time of two hours and seven minutes. The race was'one of the most unique in the history of sports. The contestants were Miss Lee Johnstone, a member of the chorus of "A Girl at the Helm," and Miss Adrienne Kroll, who occupied a similar position in the "Honeymoon Trail" company. Both shows are under the direction of Mort H. Singer of Chicago, and both originated at the LaSalle Theatre in that city. - ''

An Excellent Recipe for Obstinate Coughs. , An obstinate cough is about as disagreeable an ailment as a person could have,, and has many dangerous features. The battle with such an aggravation can be won within a few hours by utilizing the simple home recipe given below. Granulated Sugar Syrup 13Va oz Pinex. . .... ...... . . . . ... 2oz Take a pint of Granulated Sugar, add one-half cup of water, stir and let it boil just a moment. , Put the 2 oz. of Pinex in a pint bottle and fill it up with the Syrup. Shake well and take a teaspoonful every one, two or three hours. Well corked it keeps perfectly. The Granulated Sugar used will cost you about 4 cents and the Pinex 50 cents. The recipe makes a full pint of cough syrup, enough to last a long time. The same amount of ready-made Cough syrup would cost you about $2.50. It is net hard to understand the effectiveness of this simple remedy when the curative qualities of the ingredients are explained. The Syrup is an excellent sedative. Pinex is the most valuable concentrated compound of Norway White Pine Cxtrr.ct. and contains all the natural elements which make the air of the pino forests so effective in curing membrane diseases. In making this remedy at home, do not expect good results by using any of the weaker pine oils or pine tar preparations. Get the real Pinex itself. If your druggist does not have it, he will gladly get it for you if you ask him. Ripening Bananas. It is a .familiar fact that bananas are Imported green, but it came as a new thing to a visitor to the banana district in Colombia to find that bananas, a re not permitted to ripen on the plant even down there. They are cut and set to hang somewhere until they wither ripe, as the phrase Is. Bananas do not have to be yellow to be ripe. That is only the color of the skin when it has dried up To the person who is accustomed to eating bananas only when they are yellow it seems odd to peel them when they are green and find that they are perfectly ripe within and fit to eat New York Sun. . ' The Prisoner's Retort. It is a prison chaplain's duty to give a departing prisoner good advice and to exhort him to be a decent and hon orable man in the future. In the course of one of these Interviews a chaplain said, "Now, my friend, I hope you'll never have to come back to a place like this." The prisoner looked at him thoughtfully and then asked, "I say, chaplain, yon draw a salary here, don't yon!" When the chaplain replied in the affirmative the prisener remarked, "Well, say. If me and the other fellows didn't keep coming back you'd be out of a Job." "Blinks, it seems to me, ought to wear glasses." "I should think so. Why yesterday he picked up my new cork pea handle, cut off the tip and smoked it for half an hour , and then said I'd given him the worst cigar he'd ever had in hts life." London Telegraph.

Committee Charge of Raising Fund Decides on Plan. in HAVE SENT OUT LETTERS IN THESE COMMUNICATIONS THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE INSTITUTION IS EXPLAINEDHELP ASKED. The committee of the Y. M. C. A. In charge of soliciting funds to make up the $12,000 deficit, have decided on a plan of action for raising the above amount. Several hundred letters have been sent out to citizens explaining the financial condition of the association and asking assistance. The letter is as follows: Want All Bills Paid. Our beautiful and modern Y: M. C. A. building is completed and adequately furnished. It has been used nearly to the limit of its capacity for two months. We believe that already it has been shown that the subscribers to the building fund made no mistake in this investment for the boys and men of our city. The total amount subscribed was $100,667.55. Of this to date there has been paid $90,987.45 leaving $9,680.10 still unpaid. We estimate that $3,000 of this is collectable. This shrinkage is largely due to the financial panic of 1907 and 1908. When all bills have been paid, we will have expended for lot, building with equipment, and furnishings complete, $105,000. This leaves, after deducting the $3,000 considered collectable, $12,000 to be raised in order that all bills be paid and the building turned over to the Trustees absolutely free of debt. " - , - Every dollar has been wisely spent, and if you have been through the building we believe that you would readily see that there is nothing we could have cheapened or left out and have a complete plant Highly Commended. We have been highly commended by critics, State Secretaries, and men of our own city, who are able to judge, for our splendid building, which outranks any of Its size in the country. In fact; many have expressed surprise that it did not cost much more than it did. If you have not had the privilege of inspecting the buildingand the great work that is now being done in it, we hope you will do so very soon. Thanking you for the valued assistance you have already rendered, we trust that after careful consideration of the above, you will be glad to meet pur committee In a few days, and do your part In lifting the burden from this institution, which will be hampered greatly in its work if the debt remains.
