GRIFFITHS AND HIS V FRIENDS On the occasion of the " removal of Mr. John Griffith! to London, from Liverpool the press of that city took some pains to make It clear that the city was really very glad to have met him, and though sorry to see him go, wished him all sorts of good luck "and all that sort of thing don't you know." All of which should be very pleas tag to Americans and to Indianians in .particular. Most of us in this state who know Mr. John Griffiths (as the Britons call him) can quite appreciate how it is that bisVnile and his tact ful speech has made him friends in Liverpool. This is quite a contrast to the record made by Nathaniel Haw thorne when assigned to that station nearly half a century ago. In an es say by Andrew Lang on Hawthorne he expressed the English viewpoint fairly accuratelyr-in that he thought his attitude toward England very grumpy. Times have changed no doubt. But nevertheless It would be hard to imagine John L. Griffiths as : a grumpy Individual. ' What has endeared him to most or us is his sportsmanlike manner of suffering defeat in politics. He bobs up serenely with no touch 'of bitterness and goes along bis way smiling and dispensing pleasant 'words. Therefore we do not think x it . remarkable that Liverpool liked .him. It seems very evident that Griffiths made some attempt to do more than smile. The ac tion taken in resolutions of regret at his departure by the Liverpool work ingmen and the fact that during his sojourn in that city he addressed sev era! hundred meetings cannot but be to his credit Soma Idea of the Liverpool view of Mr. Griffiths may be obtained from the following extracts from the Liv erpool papers. The Courier of July 16, in an editor ial headed "Ave, Frater, Atque Vale, says: -.r.;;.'t. :V ' "Thackeray once said that if you wanted to know the number of your friends, you' should take a small piece of paper and write down their names That something like a quire of fools-: cap would ; have been necessary for Mr. Griffiths, the American consul In Liverpool, was proved by the size and representative character of the ; com pany that attended the farewell ban quet to him last night Such a mov ing . and spontaneous tribute to the place which Mr. Griffiths has won for himself In the esteem, confidence and affections of a whole city might well be the envy "of any man. It is the happy" knack of American consuls in Liverpool to make : themselves popular, hut none has succeeded quite so completely as the gentleman to whom we are now compelled to say fare well." The Daily Post and Mercury says "Farewell to the American consul Is a hard word to say. . It was said with deep feeling last night at the Adelphl Hotel, under the sympathetic presidency of the lord mayor. The advent of Mr. Griffiths; four years ago, was one of the best strokes of social good fortune that Liverpool has ever experienced. His departure will leave a gap both broad and deep In the hap piest and best usages of the Liverpool community. More than once Mr. Grif fiths has . been called home by his party, and the common rumor was doubtless true that his advocacy was needed In the campaign of a great election. There was a candid pleasare among his more thoughtful Eng lish friends in receiving this as a guarantee 'that to some extent at least, the contest was on high ground. and in accepting the suggestion that the platform of a great American party was mure and of good report.

For, come what might, It "was certain that this speaker. In the moet strain

ing .stress of popular excitement. would condescend to no unworthiness even on the stump. The loss entailed by the American consul's withdrawal from the city which will be most con spicuous win be that of his eloquence on public occasions. ; Mr. Griffiths is one of the few the fewer and fewer men of our day who have both the courage and the genius to be rhetorical; to speak ornately with fine purpose; to make their speech oratory, while bating no jot of naturalness and earnestness. A Griffiths is not necessary to make this endeavor, but in our slipshod and colloquial times only a Griffiths can succeed In it. The United States, consul's consummate success in it brought him into universal request He was generous in the use of his powers. We are losing our public orator Liverpool , self-esteem will not permit those among whom he is now valued to expect for him In, the capital so concentrated and comprehensible a sphere of social efficacy as he has here enjoyed. But they know that he will always deserve the felicity and the distinction which come of honor, of public spirit and of international fraternity." KEEP OFF THE GRASS? One of the most disheartening things about parks is the "Keep Off the Grass" sign. And yet it is well and proper, particularly in small parks that people should keep off the grasselse there would be no soothing- green to rest the eye. And green is good for the eyes. Down in the Tenth Street Park there are four places where the grass is worn off into paths which were not Intended by those who laid off the walks. And this we cannot condemn. Theoretically it should be our duty to call the people who walk across the grass at these points until there is no grass, "vandals," "destroyers of pub lic property with no respect for the rest of the citizens" who want to look at green grass once in a while, etc. But It Is our opinion that in this case the men who laid out the walks are at fault and not those who disregard the path so nicely graveled. One of the chief functions of a walk is that it shall be convenient to walk on. That Is its chief object in life. Fall Ing In that It is so much uninterest ing gravel. The fault is that at the entrances to the park, particularly at South B street, the present scheme of walks is not arranged as to be con venient. j Every passerby must go sev eral feet out of his logical way to abide by the injunction to keep off the grass. Therefore it would seem the wiser thing to do to put the walks where people evidently as rational beings want to walk, and keep them from a disregard of the injunction to "Keep Off the Grass." Hems Gathered in From Far and Near Deadly Blank Cartridges. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. A distinguished retlrel naval" sur geon, who has had much experience in wars and in peace, has just lost his son from lockjaw due to the use of a blank cartridge in a pistol. The be reaved father writes that he did not know his son had purchased the lm plement and would have forbidden him the use of it had he known of its possession, since long experience with gunshot wounds has convinced him that more damage is done by wads than by bullets. He thinks that the sale of blank cartridges should be forbidden. This is only one phase of a mighty subject. A few days ago a distressing accident occurred whereby a child shot .a little neighbor with a. gun. It seems Incredible that parents should be so careless as to permit children to have anything to do with firearms or explosives of any sort It is well known that thnsp who know most about 'gunpowder have the great est respect for it . ' Extermination of the Bucket Shop From the New York Financial World The war on the bucket shop is con ducted quite vigorously In the states which in the past have suffered most from this evil. In Pennsylvania only a few how remain, and the end of them is fast approaching. In Ohio the authorities are weeding out one after another, and there will probably be none left by, the end of this year. Now the war has started in Virginia, where the bucket shop men are ar rested as fast as the grand juries can vote indictments against them. The end of the bucket shop evil in every part of the country is only a question of a few months. 4 With both the federal and state . authorities moving against these fakers they will not be able to survive much longer, and their ultimate extermination will be a bless ing to the country. Never! . From the Baltimore Sun. Come to think of, it the back-yard board fence Is not a thing of beauty and a joy forever. Galvestyn. From the Springfield Republican. The test of Galveston's' sea wall so successful in this week's hurricane that the inhabitants are well justified In their jubilation. The Texas me tropolis is one of the interesting cit ies in the United States, and Ameri-

cans have much mora reason 'to be

proud of it not only because it gave iw haw form of municipal govern meat, than of many more pretentions places between the two oceans. "D Halve-Maen." From the New York Tribune. It is a felicitous coincidence that iust as the New York schoolship New port arrived at Amsterdam, bearing friendly greeting 4 from America to Holland, the new Half Moon arrived In New York from Amsterdam as a token of regard and affection from Holland to America. The bond between the old Amsterdam and the city which was once called New Amster dam is strong and vital, as Indeed also is that between the two nations, the Dutch and the American, whose early histories have so much in com mon, and if is a grateful task to adorn and to show forth those bonds with these mutual courtesies. ; Automobile Victims. From the Springfield Republican. The most melancholy news feature of the ''ally newspapers these days is the list of automobile victims that never fails. TWINKLES (By Philander Johnson.) The Rural Cynic. "Hard Work." said the ready-made philosopher, "brings the greatest happiness in life." "Yes," answered Farmer Corntossel, specially when you kin afford to hire somebody to do it fur you." The Big Noise. O ye who would impress the crowd By utterance surpassing loud, Take heed of the canary small Whose modest note is loved by all; While on the other hand the bird Whose bugle note is farthest heard, The rooster bold, is banished quite Or roasted well; which serves him right An Expert Opinion. "So you were a great success in Hamlet". "Yes," answered Mr. Stormington Barnes. "I was undoubtedly a sue cess. But the audience wasn't bright enough- to perceive it" A Little Vindictive. "So you want the privilege of votng for people of whom you approve?" "No," answered the suffragette. "I desire the satisfaction of publicly refusing to vote for people whom I don't like." "When you feels a hankerin' foh great authority, son," said Uncle Eben, "do a little preliminary practlcin' as a base ball umpire an see whether you really enjoys. it". EATON TOWN BOARD HAS HARD PROBLEM Sidewalk Improvements Are Cause of Trouble. Eaton, O., July 27. Since the order ing in of new sidewalks by the city council in front of lots where the present walks do not come up to the standard desired, a perplexing prob lem has confronted this legislative body and will no doubt receive much of their discussion in order to have the matter settled. Mrs. Mary E. Farr is one of the number affected by the ordinance, and she has been asked to construct a walk in front of her lots, just east of the cemetery. The lots begin at a line thirty-three feet east of the cemetery and continue eastward for 365 feet. To construct this amount of walk means the expen diture of julte a sum. Mrs. Farr had let the contract to Thos. J. Stephens. Stephens started to the lots Saturday and was preparing for the walk con struction by cutting down a number of nice maple trees in front The council kicked at the cutting down of the trees, and work has been temporarily stopped. The council want the trees and want the walk, but Mrs. Farr refuses to construct the walk unless the trees are down. QUARTERLY MEETING. Milton, Ind., July 27. The last quar terly meeting of this conference year, was held at Doddridge Chapel. Sun day night The Rev, Dr. Raw's, dis trict superintendent preached the quarterly sermon, which was also his farewell sermon to the Milton charge, as his term of office expires this year At the close of the sermon the Lord's Supper was taken. - A large congregation was in attendance and special music furnished for the occasion.

There Is only one way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an Inflamed condition of the mucous lining: of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rum bling- ound or imperfect hearing:, and when It is entirely closed. Deafness is the result and unless the Inflammation can be taken out and this tub, restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an Inflamed con dition ox tne mucous sunacea.

VERY HARROWING WAS JXPERIEHCE Dr. G. K. Angle, Former Rich mond Man, Came Near Being Drowned. TRAIN STRIKES A FLOOD RAIL SPREAD AND FOUR COACH ES ON THE TRAIN WERE TOPPLED OVER AND THEY FLOAT ED SOME DISTANCE. The Silver City, New Mexico, Inde pendent contains the account of a har rowing experience which Dr. Georgo K. Angle, formerly of this city, recent ly passed through. Dr. Angle was on his return to Silyer City after visiting relatives in Pennsylvania. It was near Pomono, Kan., that the train oh which the doctor was riding was stranded. It struck a two-mile stretch of track that was entirely under wa ter. After proceeding cautiously a short distance, the rails spread and four coaches were thrown into eighteen feet of water. The passengers had been prepared! for an accident and the coaches rolled over so slowly that all managed to retain hold of the cars and none were drowned. A relief train brought a number of boats and ropes with which the passengers were rescued. Cars Broke Loose. Two chair cars and one Pullman broke loose from the balance of the train after being tipped over and they floated a hundred feet down stream before they became lodged where the water was only about 12 feet deep. On the tops of these cars fully 200 people, among them being Dr. Angle, were perched for safety. The doctor and .a number of male passengers made their escape by dragging themselves along a rope through 18 feet of water to the cars which, still stood upright They then climbed over these cars and waded along the track, holding to a rope, until they reached a landing place a quarter of a mile away.
