Oaly Ua Bamras at eoBtalaod la lta report an IrJailW w AN ORPHANS HOME By the will of the late Mary Emily Smith a sum amounting to about twenty thousand dollars was made a fund to be held In trust to be used by her trustees to establish, provide and maintain a suitable home for the care of orphaned children in Wayne county." In case the fund is not accepted It goes to any institution of a similar character organized under the laws of the state of Indiana. It is not necessary to call the attention of the citizens of Wayne county to the fact-that there Is no nonsectarian orphans' home in this county. Almost all the orphans who become a charge to the county are sent to White's Institute near Wabash. The county already has a fund from the estate of the late Sarah Phillips which amounts to 1,870, which is devoted to the interest of orphans.' Of course neither of these funds are in themselves sufficient for -the purpose of erecting and maintaining an orphans' home for. Wayne county. At the same time the County Commissioners might very well look into the matter to see what .can be done. It is not a good precedent to set, to deliberately ignore the bequest of money for charitable purposes. We do not know , whether it be possible or not to make some" arrangement by which the fund can be kept for a period of yoirs. , But if so in that time there might be more money, forthcoming either from bequests or from some persons who are interested in doing charitable work. There ought to be a better accommodation for orphans in this county. While it Is no doubt true that large orphans homes can be administered more cheaply and with less cost to the community at large, it Is none the less true that the small institution with a sufficient amount of money behind it can accomplish more individ ual good to the child. There is noth ing more horrible in many ways than the crowding and herding of hundreds of children together where they can not receive personal attention. "O well," the smug citizen says "they are only orphans who will nev er amount to anything anyway." Very well, suppose your children by the force of circumstances are cast on the mercy of the world. . They are merely orphans. THE END OF THE. TRUEBLOOD CASE The Board of Trustees of Earlham college are to be congratulated for their Justice in ignoring the petition of the Dublin Quarterly meeting which demanded the removal of Professor William N. Trueblood from the Earl ham faculty because, he voted wet in the county local option election. If Earlham had considered - the affair worthy of the y action demanded by the Dublin Quarterly meeting It would have done it much harm. As It is the Board of Trustees has been backed up.by the press all over the United States' for the metropolitan papers all over the country espoused the cause of Mr. Trueblood. In this connection it is only fair to say on behalf of the college that the institution came in for an unjust amount of blame. The confusion of many editorial writers of the fact that the Dublin Meeting's action was not that of the college was the reason of criticism of the authorities which was unjust. Fortunately for all of us the . days of intolerance are over. curious feature of Mexican corn growing Is that three crops may be grown in one season on the same land, while fields showing different stages of development are often seen growlac sil by side. . , U :

Scouting Expeditions We have been calling attention to the means by which the trade of the town, can be increased and by which Richmond can continue to grow. Sometime ago we mentioned the modern' methods of advertising the town which are employed by cities from the size of Chicago down. . One of the most effective methods of advertising a town is to start a concerted movement in the territory of the desired trade and to promote understanding and consequent good feeling by personal visits.

By this we mean the sending out of "'Scouting Parties." Commonly these are called "Boosters Expeditions." Chicago has sent out in the past few years seven or eight of these. Among the numbers are picked men who understand every phase of business and go out with a definite object in view. The striking thing about these Chicago expeditions has been that the heads of the busiest and largest firms have gone along. Bank presidents, mercantile princes, railroad men. newspaper men, educational men all the different departments have been represented.

But they did not talk business! y The idea they disseminated was, "What can Chicago do for you?". The man who boosts his own game too consistently does not do as effective work as the man who says "Come let's co-operate."

The Indianapolis News carried a news story the other day about the expedition of the Jeffersonville Boosters. Here it is: "Two cars laden with "boosters" from Jeffersonville, Ind., and the "boosters" filled with vim. arrived at the Traction Terminal station this afternoon and were met by representatives of the Indianapolis Commercial club and Board of Trade. The "boosters" or "boomers," about one hundred in number, were representatives of the Jeffersonville Commercial club and they were determined to let the people know along their route that Jeffersonville was very much on the map. Arrangements had been made by the Commercial club of this city to show the visitors as much of Indianapolis . as possible, and to this end two special cars had been chartered to take them about the city and to various points of interest. . ; "' "The visitors traveled to the city over the Indianapolis & Louisville traction line and in order that their trip 1 might be utilized as far as possible, half-hour stops had been arranged for Seymour and Columbus, and shorter stops at Sellersburg, Speers, Memphis, Henryville, Underwood, Scottsburg, Austin, Crothersville, Edinburg, 1 : Franklin and Greenwood. A stay of just five hours and a half had been arranged for this city. According to information from Jeffersonville official business was practically at a standstill in that city today and no session was held either in the circuit or city court, as the leading: merchants and professional men of the place had been called on to join in the trip."

They stopped at fifteen places along the way to Indianapolis. , Don't you think that the two special cars made some impression ? That is the sort of spirit that does things. Richmond can do it too. " ' And what is more we have already started to do it. The Wright celebration on Friday is a step in the right direction. Richmond is beginning to realize-that it is an easy thing to accom- ( plish things to do things for Richmond if people get together.. Now people are working togetl er. It is not enough to have a Fall Festival here in the autumn season. That will degenerate in "to a merely perfunctory thing if the town does not work at things all the year around. This is advertising and advertising conditions follow it all the way through. It is the man who advertises all the time consistently that gets results. (

And so when we say that Scouting parties in this work of advertising will accomplish a tremendous amount of good, we mean that this plan will not only be a splendid thing to advertise the Fall Festival there can be no better way as far as that is concerned but it is .the thing to do all the time. If Richmond wants outside people to take enough interest in Richmond to come and look it over and become acquainted, it is Richi-ond who must go out and become acquainted with the rest of the country.

It is another case of Mohammet The mountain of trade will not goes out with a steam shovel and a TWINKLES Candid Analysis. "What are your views on the in come tax?" "Pretty much the same as on the tariff,", answered Senator Sorghum. "There would be no objection to it, if it could be eo arranged hat my especial friends won't have to pay it." An Admonition. Oh, Mars, when we exchange remarks, Some day, As wise men say that we are sure to do, Pray heed this early warning. Do not " ' say, ,. "Hello, there! Is it hot enough for you? Just, But Not Generous. The barefoot boy had carefully broken his fishing pole across his knee and ttfssed it into tho stream. '"What's the trouble?" asked the passing stranger. "Been fishin' all afternoon. Didn't get a bite. If I could have brought home a mess o' fish I might have squared it for shakin that hoss an' plow." "But why did you break the fishing pole?";., ' 'j "I'm willin to take what's cornin' to me, Mister, but I don't see why I should 6ave dad the trouble of cuttin' his own switch." A Method. "How did Bluff ard Shucks jget the reputation of being an original wit?" "By saying something utterly nonsensical as if he seriously believed it." Effort Appreciated. "So you were deeply touched by the poem young : Mr. Guff son wrote to you," said Maude. "Yes," answered Maymie. "But it was not a good poem." : "I don't care. It was just as much trouble for him to write it as if he had been Shakespeare." In Extra Session. Oh, melancholy fate! Bound to the tariff by decree of state, I stand and watch the daily plodding clock Suffering like Prometheus at the rock. Each morning's mail - Brings letters that assail,. My conscience sensitive. Yet must I live

and the mountain. come to Richmond, unless Richmond dirt train to bring in the pay dirt.

And give My- strength unto a futile tragic crv To the greart eagle bird that hovers v nigh; ; The bjrd of freedom proud that repre sents The ruthless zeal of my constituents; And this because By various laws I am supposed to do the best I can To bring unto, my groping fellow-man ine neaven-born fire which, lights The way to reason's heights. In vain I 4ug and strain. The endless chain Of argument that holds me In its grip txrows tighter. There's no hope that it may slip Until, as happened in that mythic day, After long weeks of anguish and delay borne Hercules Appears and sees My sorrowing plight and breaks my bonds with ease. If there's a Hercules to calm this stress, Won't he please write and give us his address? Items Gathered in From Far and Near From the New York Times. What a shameful thing it is to be caught smuggling! We have no fair word for the iniquities and inequalities of the tariff, but smuggling is a form of lawbreaking as contemptible and reprehensible as any other, and deserves all the punishment it receives. The worst of the punishment, in the case of private smuggling by wealthy persons, is the indignity of being detained, searched and published to the world as a cheat and lawbreaker. It surely Is not worth while to incur humiliation and disgrace for the sake of bringing through, without duty, a few personal adornments. Yet otherwise decent people are frequently caught smuggling. Frivolity. From the St. Louis Republic! Frivolousness does not necessarily imply chiffon and chocolate creams; It is a thing of the spirit and has its source in a certain attitude toward life. : Frivolousness may be impressively ponderous and deadly dull and yet be true to kind, for the refusal tn Igive serious consideration to serious subjects, the regarding of important

lasnea in the twilight of a willing ignorance, is frivolous.

. Hard on the Students. Prom the Detroit News. The average student is about as well qualified to judge of the influ ence of his professor's teaching as la the little child to judge of the quality and quantity of candy he should eat. LookUp! From the Boston Transcript. Dr. Hale laid down one rule of life which of necessity he must rarely have been able to observe. "See every day some one whom you know to be your superior." Undesirables. From tho Richmond Times-Dispatch. Maybe the colonel regards them not as mere harmless giraffes, but as malefa&ing girafters. Wind MillsFrom the Omaha Bee. Xow that the home market has been overstocked with tariff speeches, it might be a good Idea to put tne muis on short time. CONDEMN THE STONE Material for St. Mary's Church Has Been Found to Be Defective. HAS BEEN SHIPPED BACK Owing to the poor quality of the stone which was shipped to this city, to be used in the construction of St. Mary's church and parish house, it has been condemned and will be sent back to the quarries. Yesterday Contractor McLaughlin, assisted by Rev. Father Mattingly, pastor of the church, were engaged superintending the loading of stone on drays to be taken to the depot and shipped away. It will probably be two weeks before work will resume, because of the delay in securing better quality of stone. Architect Kirkman of Louisville, who is supervising the construction, condemned the stone when he arrived the other day. The stone was apparently allright until the men started to polish it. when it showed its defects by crumbling away. The same diffi culty was experienced in the con struction of the federal building and no blame for trying to 'put in inferior quality of stone is laid to the contractor. The stone was quarried at Green sburg, where much of the finest Bedford stone is found. PROBE RUIZ AFEAIR British Home Secretary Is Expected to Make a Statement Today. TO AIR CHARGE OF BRIBERY I)ndon, June 16. Mr. Gladstone, the home secretary, is expected to make a statement today In regard to the question submitted to him by Peter Curran, the labor party of .parliament with reference to the suppression of the facts in the suicide of Mrs. Ruiz. "It'is possible," said Mr. Curran today, "that the statement will show that the ordinary, perfunctory notice of an inquest to be held was given as customary, though nothing of that sort yet appears. "If there appears a probability that an official accepted a bribe, the affair becomes at . once of the utmost gravity. May be an Investigation by a parliamentary commission will be ordered. To bring that about it would be necessary for me to ask . leave to make a statement later, and then to move an adjournment of the house, There would have to be forty mem bers to stand by me to carry this measure through." EXCURSION WAS GREAT SUCCESS Was Given by U. B. Church Aid Society. The excursion yesterday over the C, C. & L. railroad to Cincinnati, under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid Society of the local United Brethren church, was very successful, 315 per sona making the trip. A special train left this city at 7:30 o'clock in the morning end returned at J o'clock in the evening. "Doctors of the Masses" is what one writer has termed pro prietary medicines. Good, honest proprietary medicines like Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound succeed, and the homes of the masses are blessed by them, while those which are worthless or harmful soon drop out.

As a matter of fact, the doctor had not act eyes on young Swinburne before. "Enraged, however. I suppose."
