Only the ngm-es ox 4 w w eh-enlauoa eonuiaed m its report an L piaiaataii hy the Association. terns Gathered in From Far and Near Rlchca and Wretchedneae. From the Philadelphia Ledger. People who have to practice the sclmping economies and study ways and means of keeping the wolf from the door often think how delightful and desirable must be the lot in life of kthe millionaire and his family. They forget the proverbial wisdom that tells us that a dinner of herbs and contentment therewith Is better than a stalled ox where discord mars the feast. It is not necessary to have much in order to be exuberantly happy, and very often those who are, in the world's eye, well off In so far as material possessions are concerned, are mentally and spiritually poverty-stricken their dispositions prevent the serene and equable enjoyment of life's blessings; their search for amusement, though frantic, Is In vain, for time still hangs heavy on their hands, and they do not realize that there Is no lasting pleasure in luxurious idleness, for rest brings tranquility and peace only after honest and unremitting labor. Tax on Earnings.' . . l C . . . .. rTOm U XNBW lOrK ouu. , We hear from Washington that a tax on the net earnings of corporations is regarded as a tax on "wealth," and therefore desirable and acceptable and ' b nnri nt lininn hnt.ween conservative and "progressive" republicans. Of course, anybody who knows enough to dress himself in the daylight knows that there are hundreds of thousands of jmall shareholders In corporations, and that the number has been increasing remarkably of late years. We find nothing in the ,r republican platform about fining these people. This is a period at Washington of muddling, waiting, arranging terms for compromlse. That is how we account for what looks like a confusion of counsels and darkening of knowledge. For whatever has happened to the republican party in the last eight years, it is not yet forced to go for its policies to Oeala or Omaha, or any other station v on the Bedlam Unlimited. Never a Freak. From the Baltimore American. ! It is strange that Bishop Doane, in ' his address before the ; graduating class of a girl's school, should fall into the trespass of describing the new woman as a freak.' There should, be some penitential imposition in the rubrics of the bishop's church for one who so far departs from the facts of history, the conclusions of science, the verdict of society as to call a woman, be she possessed of any term of original views, a freak. Woman is never such. A choleric Latin poet spouted something to the effect that woman is at all times variable, and this has been the cheap verdict of the unthinking evr since. The grave biologist takes the contrary ground and denotes the female as the stable factor In tne nunin compound, the male toeing variable. - This. then, is the fundamental decree of nature. The News.

Richmond, A Growing Town Richmond Is not at a standstill. Richmond is a growing town. Go where you will, in any part of it. there are buildings going up. Whether it is West; East, North or South substantial houses and buildings are io the process of construction. Nor is this confined to the outskirts of the town for in the central part there are structures which will cost when completed enormous sums of money collectively. ' These form the real backbone of the town. For the month of April the buildings which were started' amounted to over $100,000 and before the year is over the amount of construction will be over half a million dollars. That does not look like a dying town in the last throes does it?

What brought this matter up was the comment of a business man from Chicago who has recently been in Indianapolis and Dayton and all through the towns north and south of Richmond which are somewhere near the class of Richmond. He remarked that there wr.s more substantial building going on here in proportion to the population than in either Indianapolis or Dayton.

Whether this can be proved by figures or not, makes very little difference. The building is going on. The comment of the man was followed by an inquiry as to why building was being done. He remarked that in other places money was somewhat tied up. But these Improvements In Richmond are significant because they are built with surplus local capital. That means that business is good in the town. It means that men have money to invest. It means that Richmond is a growing town.

There is another phase to the growth , of Richmond. Within the last two years many new additions to Richmond have been opened plotted and lots sold. These are in all directions. And the people who have bought lots in these new additions are either building or are going to build. This shows that money is well distributed among all the people of Richmond. It shows that there Is a growing demand for homes. When people begin to put money into property It means they are going to stay in the town. It indicates that there is a good business being built up. ' Richmond 13 growing.

There Is another reason why houses . are being built in such profusion. Not only are many of these houses being erected by persons who intend to occupy them, but there Is a demand for houses to rent. If a man comes to Richmond be has some trouble in finding a place to put his family. It Is hard to find a suitable house. There are very few vacant houses in Richmond because Richmond is growing. The encouraging thing about all this is that the improvements are all of a substantial nature. In spite of the high cost of building material the houses and buildings are an ornament to the town because they are permanent. '

There are other indications of a growing town in the fact that there is a tendency to get off of Main street for business purposes. There is no doubt that sooner or later every street down town for a block or two will be filled with business places. And we say this because Main street will soon not accommodate all the business. The fact that the buildings of a more or less public character are starting in the central part of town is a sign of what will be the logical development The new improvements have been great in the last four years. The semi-public and public structures form an advance guard for the growing town. They set the standard for the private enterprise. This insures Richmond not only of a steady and permanent growth but also a goodlooking town. Richmond is growing.

"Fairy stories usually end 'and they lived happily ever after." " "Yes," answered Mr. Sirius Barker; "that's one of the reasons why I don't believe in fairies." , Prevented. "That new playwright, Mr. Muckles, says he has an idea for a piece that is sure to be one of the sensational successes of the 'great white way.' " said the New York manager. "Did he outline the plot to you?" "No. He couldn't. 'There were ladies present." A Grim Jest. "What was that wheat speculator's profit?" v 'I don't know," answered the proverblallst. But whatever it was, it was a profit without honor in its own country." The Gardening Amateur. No more of roses shall we sing; No more of blossoming June; The rains which skies so coldly fling Inspire a different tune. The flowers which with hopes so gay Were planted far and wide ; Are shipwrecked and borne far away On early summer's tide. Hope springs eternal and you'll hear The gardening amateur Speak of intentions for next year A hopeful connoisseur.

BRANDENBURG TRAIL

Author Given a Hearing Today On the Famous Cleveland Letter. ADJOURNS AFTER TODAY New York, June 15. Broughton Brandenburg was placed on trial be fore Judge Fitzgerald in the criminal branch of the supreme court today and Mrs. Grover Cleveland, widow of Pres ident Cleveland, will appear as a wit ness in the case. Brandenburg is charged with grand larceny, growing out of the sale of a newspaper article of which he said Mr. Cleveland was the author. . While the Brandenburg trial was on Judge Fitzgerald's docket for today, it was necessary to interrupt a murder trial to take it up. This was done a.s a favor to Mrs. Cleveland, who wishes to leave this city tomorrow for her summer home in New Hampshire. After a jury has been obtained and Assistant District Attorney Knott has made his opening address to the jury, a few witnesses will be called to establish the sale of the article to the newspaper. Then Mrs. Cleveland will testify. This done, the Brandenburg trial will be adjourned, not to be taken up until the murder trial Is ended. The Rubber Tree. The "India rubber" plant Flcua elasticns Is a great tree In tbe tropical countries In which It flourishes, often reaching aa much as a hundred feet high. Imposing, indeed, it looks in such conditions, with a vast leafy crown extending over forty or fifty feet outward on each aide of the mas sive trunk and with immense buttress lng roots twisting and. winding along above the ground in such a way as to lead the natives of India and Ceylon to call it the "snake tree.". Sometimes these roots grow up Into the trees and make the tree look like the banyan, to which. It may be mentioned, it ia botanlcally related. The Usual Place. "Can you swim.

DELIGHTFUL WAS

OUT DOOR PLAY Earlham Students Score Success in the Comedy, "As You Like It." WAS AN IMMENSE AUDIENCE ONE OF THE PLEASING FEAT URES OF THE PRODUCTION WAS THE ACTING OF MISS SHUTE OF THIS CITY. It was the Forest of Arden. "Sighing like a furnace" came the lover Orlando and pinned his love son nets to the Appletree just back of Lindley hall. Then, came the fair Rosalind and, after some byplay by the fool, Touchstone, they all lived happily ever after and began life in Morris dancing with the shepherds in the Forest. That is to say that the class of 1000 gave Shakespeare's "As You Like It" at Earlham last night, a la Ben Greet out of doors. This was all the more remarkable inasmuch as for once It did not rain, much to the delight not only of the 1800 people in the audience but the performers, as well. Heard Distinctly. One of the most pleasing phases of the whole production was the fact that every player could be heard distinctly by the audience this is particularly creditable in an out of door perform ance. The cast in general gave their lines with perfect understanding which made the Elizabethan dialogue full of humor to the spectators. The star of the evening was unquestionably Miss Hilda Shute, who took the part of Rosalind. She was completely master of the situation from start to finish and showed remarkable ability. The part of Rosalind is a hard one to take, but she played the parts in which Rosalind disguises herself as a man with spirit and vivacity, and played the love scenes with simple charm and without affectation. A close second, as far as real acting ability and interpretaion of character was concerned, was the playing of Mr. Silas Farquahr as Touchstone. He caught the serious philosophizing of the professional buffcon in his most elusive lines, mingling the note of sad ness with his wit. Hedges Was a Star. The Orlando of Horace Hedges was played with feeling and grac. From the entrance in the wrestling scene be captured the sympathy of the audience and kept It throughout the play. He should be given credit for not ' allowing sentiment to degenerate into sentimentality and of being altogether successful at carrying out the devil-may-care, whlp-and-spur, Idea of his part. The whole cast caught the true Elizabethan spirit. This was true of Miss Francisco as Audrey who threw aside all personality of evryday life and went into the rustic atmosphere of clownishness In company with Leslie Nanny!, who played the country lout well enough to merit special mention. All the cast was fully competent to balance the capable acting of the principals. The finale, in which the whole class participated, was artistic and called forth (together with the presentation of the play) a great amount of applause which brought Miss Shute and Horace Hedges back on the stage. Setting a Relief. The setting of the whole play was good. The barriers of green boughs and the foliage of the trees was a relief after the indoor scenery of the theater. The music was appropriate and interpolated at effective times. It was refreshing to have the whole play given in full inasmuch as in most presentations the first scene, with the wrestling bout, is commonly left out. It was the opinion of the spectators that this performance with the staging of the Midsummer Night's Dream last year, have been the most successful and noteworthy attempts of Earlham in a dramatic line and that they compare more than favorably with similar things given all over the country.

In the whole wide world there la not a class of people to be found who in fiict severer punishment upon themselves than the Caribs of Central America. Their religion, which is one of the moat peculiar kind, demands self punishment for sins Intentionally or unintentionally committed. The punishment takes the form of ttarvatlon and c!o3e confinement. If the sin be In the form of a lie. no matter whether it is calculated to injure another or not, the, siuner goes without either food or drink for three days, at the end of which it is beliered that the offender has paid the penalty for his or her sin. Blaspheming and using bad language are punishable by absolute starvation for two days. Assault, drunkenness and other serious sms call for four days Starvation for one week, three days' starvation for the second week, two days starvation for the thir week and one day's starvation In tne fourth week. All sins are punished with starvation. For that reason crime Is very low among the Caribs, who are among the best . behaved and most truthful people la the world.

Walter Paulus Strenuously Denies He is "Nature Faker"

Fate was truly against Walter Paulus. Harry Johnson, Frank McMinn, Frank Burr and several others, who on a turtle expedition near New Madison Saturday night and Sunday caught but two turtles, one . which was about the size of a half dollar and blind. Despite the fact that they had hard luck, they found a nature freak story which borders on the nature fake kind, so they feel that they were amply rewarded. Upon arriving; at their destination Saturday night, it was too lata to hunt turtles sp a frog sticking expedition was proposed. They were lured on and on to a point where the croaks of the big bulls sounded more like the chug chug of a engine than like any noise eminating from the throats of "critters." -Walter Paulus. who Is familiarly known over the city owing to his size and the fact that he was one of the best firemen ever on the city's pay roll, was in the lead dancing here and there with much expectation. A dark lantern was attached to hia bat In miner style. Walt stooped low with a stick in his hand and finally came on a big fellow, which, from his appearance, must have been the father of the whole tribe. With one mighty swipe in a la Teddy style, the big fellow was laid low and thereupon Paul TROOPS CALLED OUT Action Taken in Mississippi Because of a Pistol Encounter. WAS OUTCOME OF FEUD Meadville, Miss., June IS. State troops are maintaining martial law in Meadville today, the result of the pistol duel yesterday, when Dr. A. M. Newman, clerk of the Chancery court of Franklin county, and Silas O. Reynolds, were killed and four others were wounded. The dual was the outcropping of a feud which has raged intermittently for years. Dr. Newmaa shot and killed Cornelius Pritchard, but was acquitted. This served ?o arouse greater antagonism between the Newmans and the Pritchard family. The feud had its inception in a. political campaign some years ago. According to the story related. Reynolds accompanied by Hubert Applewhite attacked Dr. Newman on the same spot where Pritchard was shot and killed. Sons of Dr. Newman, who were in the vicinity, ran to their friend'a aid and aeTeral volleys were exchanged. Two men named Boyd and Parr were wounded and Applewhite and the junior Newman are In a Natchez hospital today where their Uvea axe despaired of. - John Brown was executed mt Harpers Ferry on Dec 2, 1859.

Upon picking up the frog, cold In death, Paulus first admired Its enormoua also and the fact that it would make a splendid breakfast. Ha began to feel the sixe of its hams and the eatable muscles of Its back, when ha felt something hard In Its stomach. Having called his friends to him to view his prise, Paulas took his Jack knife and started to operate on the frog. Upon arriving at the hard apot he found a small turtle. He took it out, washed it In the river and was holding it in hia hand when be felt a tickling sensation in the palm. Closer investigation disclosed the fact that the little fellow's feet were wiggling and finally out came Us head. Judging from its size it was thought to be at leaat a week old.
