THE MOUSE AND THE FLY ,
The bravest woman that ever lived
will mount a chair or table, gather hr skirts closely about her feet and scream and scream and scream when a mouse springs' from the domestic jungle and scampers across the floor. Yet no person ever heard of a mouse
bringing death or Injury to or even at tacking a human being.
on the other band the common
house fly, exceeding the mice in num bers in an incalculable ratio, is i
deadly proposition: Regardless of - the
fact that each of his several feet might carry the possibilities of death
and disease, he is Invited into the
dining room, given a place of honor In
la the parlor and tolerated as a ncccs
sary harmless nuisance In the bed
chamber. - ,
Why womankind should cultivate a . never-ending feud with the mouse and maintain an easy indifference toward the fly Is an unexplained, mystery la view of the testimony of science it is advisable that there be a
transfer of the hatred and' fear of the
house wife from the beady eyed and
sinister looking mouse with Its Imag
inary tusks, ferocious and determined
disposition to tho inoffensive appear Inc. but deadly fly
Covered garbage cans, immediate
burial of any and every thing subject
to decay and putrefaction, and gen
eral cleanliness of the house within
and the premises without, will deprive him of his feeding and breeding
grounds and quickly reduce his num
bers, while activity with tho dust rag,
the placing of traps and sticky paper
win soon give him the finishing touch

A CITY OF HOMES . Richmond, a city of homes." There Is a vast amount of significance . In that, phrase, and what la more to the point, the phrase Is trt. "It Is only another turn to the well known fact that Richmond is a good place to live. For the "boom" town may come and go shrivel up and die between two daysbut tte city of homes Is built far too solidly for such a fate. ' 1 The town which has that to be said for It, has industries of steady growth; permanent advantages of location; and above all has a backbone of people. Such people are rot wanderers on the face of . the earth, but men who settle down acd build their fortunes.
And today the fact that Wayne county, of which Richmond is the center, is the richest county (per capita) in the state and the fact that wealth is better distributed here than any other place in Indiana, is a decided commentary on the character of the people and the town. It is 'perfectly natural then thct when the employment is steady and the other surroundings of the best, that men should buy real estate. ; And having bought their land, they build. For. the same, reasons supply them with money and the same rea ons induce them to build in Richmond.
Within the last few years and particularly in the last year, there has been a building and land buying ir pulse started. ;5 So great has been the demand for residences that new a dltions have been laid out on all sides of the town. The cause is not hard to find. There were not enough houses to go around. That is the surest sign that R chmond is growing. , And beside that people like to invest their money in a growing town. , The thing works In a circle.
One of the best tests for a town is whether the younger generation is building or not.' You will all remember a time when the town stood still in all its departments. The growth was imperceptible and beside that, house after house stood vacaLt. The town was standing still and the younger generation was discontented and anxious to leave for greener pastures. AH was pessimism. One of the surest signs that Richmond is on the up grade is, that the younger generation is building houses and planning to stay in the town. The younger generation never builds a house which will tie it down in the future if the town does not give promise for its young men. But the tide is turning. The buying of ground in the suburbs proves it and the building of houses all over the town proves.it the fact that it is hard to get a suitable house to live in proves it would this be so if there were not a better outlook for this Generation and the next?
Drive out some afternoon in the outskirts of the town even , beyond the city limits. If you have not eeen it you will be amazed. Everywhere there is a new building or remodeling. And as you drive out you will see very few cards on houses proclaiming them for rent.s It is a good thing for the town in every way to have homes built in it. Take the factories for instance. Even, those . manufacturers who would like to see the town stay sir all for their own advantage must admit that when their employes build houses they are not apt to be of the sort to start labor troubles here. There are few wandering malcontents looking for trouble in a city cf homes.
Beside the fact that in all material ways Richmond is a good town to live in there is another side to this question. People who build, build for their children. ' They want a good place in wh'ch to raise them. It would be folly to say that this identical way of putting it occurs to every one. " But the fact of it is that it is only when bad conditions 'present themselves that' people begin to think" of it. In this town we have no slums, we have no district filled with filth therefore we take it for granted. We have no crowded tenements to compare even with cities of the same size in this state. The greet number of parks, the splendid schools, the Y. M. C. A., the public play grounds, as well a healthful town all these things though they may never be thought of in that connection make people want to live here for the sake of their children.
In reply to the letter recently sent by the Rev. R. ' J. Wade, of this city.
to the Rev. J, F. Vichert, of Fort Wayne, explains an address which he recently made here, and which the Rev. Wade took exceptions to, aa follows: V June 22, 1000. R. J. Wade, Richmond, Ind.: Dear Sir and Brother Perusal of your letter of June 17, which reached me only yesterday, makes very clear that the main ground of your displeasure with my address has no existence in fact. I did not say that those who practice infant baptism are criminals. Far be it from mo to express, or even entertain such a' sentiment I ;; said that those who believed in baptismal regeneration had a valid reason for practicing infant baptism, and that, believing thus they would be criminal if they did not practice it The logic of that is clear. If a few drops of water upon . an infant's brow will save it he would be criminal who would refuse the , benencient dropa. That was my statement. In regard to the quotation from the Discipline which you have failed to find, I may say that the address was first prepared, and delivered in Canada. When preparing it I had before me the Book of Discipline of the Methodist Church, in Canada, and the statement in question was taken verbatim from page 21 of that book. It it does not occur In the Discipline of . the Methodist Episcopal Church of this country, my statement must be qualified, but the qualification in no way Invalidates my argument, or obviates the fact that a very Important and influential section of Alethodlsm : assumes such a position. I might add a further statement which was not included in my address, to show that some Methodists at least are capable of a Just and generous appreciation of the Baptist principle. Your own Dr. Hibbard in his work on Christian Baptism, part 2. p 174, writes thus: "The charge of close communion is no more applicable to the Baptists than to us; Inasmuch , as church fellowship with them is determined by as liberal prin
ciples as It is with any other Protes-ji
tan churches.

If all these things were suddenly wiped out do you fancy that the population would remain the same? But in this same connection it must be said that there is a better outlook for the next generation in Richmond than there ever has been for one raised in this town. We mean the future for young men in Richmond. No longer will there be the steady stream of the best blood in Richmond out of it gone to build up some other town. We say the best blood of Richmond. , It is the best blood in Richmond because there is enough ambition to it to get out when things are dull. And this is the real reason why Richmond is growing and why it is going to grow in the future. That Is because there is a place for young men.
A Concise Explanation. ' "How does that man always manage
to appear as the leader of you peo
ple?" "I suppose," answered Farmer Corntossel, "that It's simply because he's smart enough to get ahead of us."
Complex Argument. "Has local option proved a success in your neighborhood?" "Yes." -' ' "Then you will continue it?" "I don't know. The fact that it is a success seems to have turned a lot of us voters against it."

was my contention: . : Inasmuch as I made a reference to Wesley, whose memory we all cherish, it may be well for me to furnish your with verification of my statement. The facts are to be found in any life of Wesley, and in his Journal, but for an explicit statement I refer you to Tyerman's Oxford Methodists, preface, p. 6. "Even in Georgia, Wesley excluded Dissenters from the Holy Communion, on the ground that they had not been properly baptized; and ha himself would baptize only by immersion, unless the-child or person was in a weak state of health." Please accept my assurance of my profound regard for my brethren In other denominations whom I appreciate too highly to be willingly offensive or discourteous to them. I do not think my address of the other evening, giving a calm and . judicial hearing, could bo so misconstrued. Your sincerely, J. F. VICHERT.
er of our laws. We used to hale such boys before the police court, treat them as criminals, although they may have had no criminal Intentions, and place a stigma upon them that they could never rid themselves of. Today these lads are dealt with by the Juvenile court, and in the great majority of cases the boy is induced to be less exuberant or to give up bad companions, if these be shown to be. the cause of his getting into trouble.
Items Gathered in From Far and Near
Work of Juvenile Court. From the Detroit Journal. In his work of reforming juvenile delinquents the judge of the juvenile court must of . necessity meet with many disappointments. , . If a boy is born
with criminal instincts neither threatening nor cajoling on the part of the judge is likely to have much effect upon him, and the last resource is the industrial school.

The Hamilton Memorial. From the Springfield Republican. Why Alexander Hamilton, dead these 100 years, should excite the fury of one of the new f senators from 'the northwest, and a republican senator to boot, does not appear on the surface. On his merits as a constructive statesman no American ever lived who deserved a statue In Washington more than Hamilton, but Senator Johnson of North Dakota demands that the resolution -of congress providing for such a memorial be forthwith repealed, and he is quoted as saying that he wants "that man forgotten as soon as possible." That such sentiments are generally held cannot be believed, and it must be that the North Dakota statesman is himself a novel kind of freak having an anti-Hamilton obsession not less irrational than Mr. Dick's notions concerning King Charles' head. - - , - ,

The up-to-date business man is constantly breaking up old-time' systems which have been handed down from father to son for many generations. The progressive man pays very litis attention to what was done in the past. He knows that the world is new every day, that it requires new treatment. He faces the sun of progress', he looks toward the light, he holds his mind open. He does not care now many people have done the work before, or in what way they have done it, or how many superstitions encircle the thing he is working upon, he does his work In his own way. The present state of the world's progress Is the result of the constant breaking away 4 from the past, the elimination of worn out machinery, of cast off ideas', foolish superstition, prejudice and 1. worn out methods. ' . England not long since sold thirtyone modern warships, which cost fifteen million dollars for less than five per cent of what it cost to build them. These ships had not been in comision a great many years, but 6uch had been the progress in ship building that they are already out of date. Some of the most up-to-date machinery of today will, within five years be consigned to the junk shop by progressive manufacturers. A great throbbing, almost human Hoe printing press today throws off completed papers faster than one person can count them, and great rolls of paper are reeled off almost as fast as a horse can trot The largest sky scraper in New York would not hold enough such printing presses as were used fifty years ago to turn out the same amnuot of work, in equal time. Everywhere the new is crowding out the old. Life In the city has become so intense that it is necessary to break loose from it every now and then to get in closer touch with nature, and "drink power from the fountain head;" to get so close to Mother Earth that she can whisper her secrets in our ears. 1 t. ; , "-. - It is a great thing to keep' one's 'self growing in this age of specialists. The man who continues to work in a rut, who confines himself to one special line betrays every year a lessening, tendency to reach out into new fields, to expand, to grow outside of his little line of endeavor. People who take no vacation lose the rhythm of life. Their days are all monotonous is just as important to symmetrical development to a well balanced life as work. A vacation helps to balance our powers, to give us a more symmetrical development. It keeps us from becoming one-sided. It Improves our judgment From Success Magazine.
Indianapolis, June 2H. So far as the state of Indiana Is concerned, there will be no further attempt at interference in the street car strike at Evansville unless the strikers should hap
pen to resort to violence and overpower the police to the extent militia would be needed. Two of the state commissioners have returned from Evansville and .will not go back. - They are tired of trying to settle the matter. Governor Marshall is displeased by his ineffectual attempt to bring about a settlement "My eole purpose in visiting Evansvllle." said the governor, "was to assure the people of the city that neither I nor the labor commissioners had
any power to compel arbitration in j the case, as it had been represented; by irresponsible persons, through) newspaper accounts and otherwise,) that I intended to do. I spoke about! ten minutes to a gathering of labor'
union men and that is all the address I made. Purpose of His Visit. "Mayor Nolan's purpose in asking me to go to Evansville, it developed, was to allay a feeling which had been aroused by false newspaper reports that I was preparing to compel the sides to get together. The feeling was
generally spread, and would not down. This office was being blamed by some for not compelling arbitration instead of talking about it, and by others, who held that this office had no power
to compel anything in the case except j
the observance of the law, for attempting to' go beyond its powers. The unsettled condition cf affairs, the mayor
believed, was largely responsible for
the tense situation. ' "I assured the union men that I had no power in labor disputes, other than that which could be used in a persuasive manner through the labor commissioners, and that all reports con
cerning a determination on the part of
this office to compel arbitration were
absolutely without foundation. I talk
ed with a large number of persons
about tho situation, but I had no pow
er to relieve conditions, and didn't attempt to relieve them.
"I believe the strike situation will adjust itself in time, although it will
be a long time before normal conditions are restored, I believe."

San Diego, Cal., June 26. At the risk of her life, Miss Berring, a teacher in the public school at Roseville. near here, held a mob of laborers at bay and saved the life of Canope Perez, a Yaqui Indian, who is in jail, charged with assault to murder. Perez had been working with John Deturri on the electric roadway at Point Loma. The Indian and Italian quarreled, with the result that the Yaqui 6tabbed Deturri and fled, with a score of laborers in pursuit. The chase led to the house of Miss Berring. Crazed with fear the Indian dashed into the house and besought protection. The brave teacher barricaded the doors and windows and resisted the demands of the mob for the surrender of Perez until the police arrived. ''-.. . ': - The officers had difficulty In keeping off the mob on the way to the Jail. It is believed Deturri will recover.
