THE RIVERSIDE PARK The authorisation of the expenditure of Ave hundred, dollars for the Riverside Park Is distinctly worth while and wa congratulate council and the citizens of West Richmond. Th Palladium has already pointed out the advantage of the park to all the citizens of the town and the desirability of acquiring the land at this time. It Is to be hoped that this 1 s only the beginning of a ". movement which will In the course of time make the river front a place of extreme . beauty. :H - - tt may take a considerable period to accomplish this, but it certainly must be true that any attempt made now will lead to an extension. It la only a question of a few years as changes go when the sewage of not only this city, but of all the rest of the towns In the state, will be kept out of the rivers and creeks. , The condition is not so bad in Richmond as It might be and the expense of installing a new sewage plant would certainly work a hardship at the present. Some day there will be . a . a.. a j a ii j 1 a, mirauun hwis piant mauuiw ucie, similar to the one on a small scale which disposes of the sewage at Easthaven which In other days made mock of the name of Cleat Creek. It is the sewage in the river which keeps the lower river road from being the most attractive around 1, Richmond which may easily be a park of the future. It is not so far in the future as many might be disposed to think when the Whitewater will be built up on the west and additions made to the city ; from that angle, One of the safest ways to make any part of a town a congenial dwelling place is to establish places for park? long before the need for them arises. And this applies not only to the newly authorised park, but to all the civic operations. The parks are the backbone of the residence districts and should be planted first. FALSE INFORMATION It Is fashionable on the part of soeailed superior persons to disparage the newspapers and Impugn their integrity because newspapers do not always have . accurate ; accounts of things. The, caset of deliberate misrepresentation are exceedingly rare in any newspaper office. None but the reporter knows how difficult it is to get the facts. And above all else that Is what the paper and th reporter '.wants to geu'i.' V"; '-,;-5 i;,-,; This is not always easy and it is sometimes trua that tor their own ends people are not only willing but anxious to distort the newspaper version. It la a common occurrence for a news editor to pass up a whole 'story because he cannot get the .facts in the case.' The case of such a man who got the limit of the law for giving raise news is well told in a current issue of Newspaperdom. "Dr. Leroy C. Vail, on the Fordham , Hospital staff, New York, has been taught a lesson in practical journalism which . other professional " men might take to heart with advantage. Dr. Vail was subpoenaed to court several days ago as a witness in an assault ease. He refused to obey the request and was then brought ' to court on 1 warrant. ' That night he made a statement to the. newspapers to the effect that he was forced to leave a dying patient, was dragged into court and later was locked up with "bams" until the time came for givlre; his testimony, all of which was false. - The doctor was severely reprimanded by the court and forced to apologize. Giving false Information to newspapers is a very , serious ofIQUKi UiUVlt W fWWfVtV (OU' I arally realise until they find themsel-J

It Is not surprising that Professor Zueblla has announced that the constitution is an antiquated and Immoral document. After he has disposed of the Declaration of Independence it will be time for him to take his naturalisation papers out in some country more to his taste.

Nye A PITIFUL WARNING. Abner Smith, the wrecker of the Bank of .America, Chicago, and tot ten years circuit Judge in that city. is now a convict in the Joliet penlten tlary. , - .. He voluntarily knocked at the door of the big baatiie and asked to be ad tuitted. When be learned the supreme court bad dented bis last appeal. Smith, in order to avoid publicity, quietly left bis borne by the back door and, unobserved, went to the railroad station and thence to Joliet. What had he dene? Why should the gray haired judge. so long honored by bis fellow men, slouch through back alleys to take op his life as a eoavlct? Crooked banking. That is to say. this was the crime on which he was held to the grand jury and convicted. But really Smith was guilty ofSpeculation! He speculated 00 the board of trade while he was on the bench, and when be went into banking the fever of speculation was still In bis reins. : The judge was found guilty of fraud and deception as a banker. He was sentenced for that crime. But his real crime was Speculation: The court could not punish Smith for speculating, because there is no law on the statue books against that kind of gambling. Nevertheless speculation created the necessity for the other .crime. . ? ; Warden ! Murphy says the case of Smith has no parallel in tbe annuals of the penitentiary. Never before has s jurist of tbe dignity of Smith's posi tion been sent to state prison. It was a triumph of justice. Strong Influences intervened in behalf of the banker Judge. There was a long legal fight, but finally Justice that justice this stern Judge so often evoked for others overtook him. It was pitifulPitiful when this old man stood at the threshold of his home and took r. last sweeping glance at tbe familiar things of a thirty years' residence, kissed bis eld wife goodby and then walked heavily away. Pitiful, but another warning against the insidious tempter 9 Speculation! It was pitiful when tbe wife stood at that back door, voiceless and bereft, gazing with unseeing eyes at the evidences about her of fifty years of happy married life. Speculation!

IOTERESTIIIG IS STORY OF RELICS

Methodist Centennial Committee Visited Scenes of Old Ruins of Churches. IN DAYS OF CIRCUIT RIDERS RECALLED BY TRIPS TO LANDMARKS INFORMATION OF VALUE ACQUIRED TO BE USED FOR THE HISTORY. For the purpose of visiting several of the old Methodist landmarks and gatherirg information for the Centen nial, the committee on the Methodist Centennial celebration made the trip In an automobile yesterday afternoon to many of the old stockades of pion eer days in this county. Tbe farm of J. Wilson northwest of the city was first visited. A part of the Wilson bouse contains tbe log remains of one of the cabins which was in theafk ade. Methodist services were eld here from 1812 to 1820, and in order to keep the Indians from interfering with the meetings a high stockade was built by John Smith. The home of William Crawford on the Union pike was visited, where in 1809 the first Methodist house in the west was built. Services at that timo were conducted by "circuit riders," each rider covering a territory of twenty-five square miles over which he rode and held meetings. Much valuable information was gathered yesterday relative to the early history of Methodism in Wayne county which will be brought out at tbo centennial celebration. Descriptive matter of much importance was also procured by the committee who report a very interesting trip. THE STUPID GOAT. Why Hia Picture Waa Appreciated at the Collage Lecture. "It's more fun than a circus," said the lecturer, "to talk to a crowd of college boys, but you don't always know where the fun is until after your lecture is over. One night I delivered a lecture to the senior class of a New England college. Tbe subject of my talk was wild animals, and I illustrated it with a large number of lantern slides. One of these pictures was a photograph .of a Rocky mountain goat. When this gentleman's portrait was thrown on the screen I said, giving his name. The goat is a very stupid animal "Instantly I waa interrupted by wild shrieks and yells of Joyous applausecheers, clapping, stamping fellows grinning at each other and slapping each other on the back and jelling, That's so,' and 'Correct,' until it was Impossible for me to go on, and tbe professors had to restore order. This they finally succeeded in. doing, but as t went on trying to talk about tbe goat pandemonium broke loose again and again. "Of course I did not know where the fun waa. I tried to think If I bad said anything backward or made some unconscious blunder, for I am rather absentmlnded, but I could not recall anything that I had done wrong, so I could only grin feebly and wait each time until the professors had obtained quiet and then go on with my talk. As soon as the lecture waa over I asked the president where tbe fun was. He smiled joyously aa he explained: "The freshmen in this college are called goats. That's all."' An Anatomical Wonder. , certain highly respected congressman makes many queer blunders of speech. A constituent, visiting him recently, complained of the shabblness of a pair of ink stained crash trousers that be had on. "A man of your position, said the constituent reproachfully, "ought to wear handsomer trousers than those." The congressman, offended, answered reproachfully: "My trousers may be shabby, but they cover a warm and honest heart His Important Service. An unusually . ingenious plea for a tip was that of a small Hibernian, mentioned by Mr. John Augustus O'Sbea in "Roundabout Recollections. The author was traveling In Ireland. I drove down to tbe station on the faint chance of catching the train to Dublin. When I got out of the cab at the station a bright faced boy accosted me. "Ah, sure, sir, you've Just missed the train," be said. It was true, t booked my luggage and ascertained when the next train would leave. While I was waiting tbe lad came up to me and naked me for a tip. ' - : "What for?" I asked. . "Sure, sir, I told you that yon were too late," be unblushlngly responded. To Bo Lad by Permanent Ideals. To live , in tbe presence of great truths and eternal laws, to be led by permanent ideals that Is what keeps a man patient when the world Ignores him and calm and unspoiled when the world praises him. Balaae. This is a story told by a commer cial traveler after a trip through southern Canada: "Being impatient to get out of a sleepy little town I hurried to the station. After a while an object slowly emerged from the dist ance and slunk up alongside. I boarded the solitary coach, and, after a tedious wait, the, engine began to gasp feebly, the old coach creaked a little, but the train did not move, I waa about to get out to see what was the matter when the forward door of the coach, waa suddenly flung open and a bead popped in. 'Hey, you. aaid the engin eer, : leering at me. -climb off till I get a start, will ye?"

nUVcLO COOXIKQ SCHOOLS Cermsny Reaches Rural Districts la Mast Effective Way. The teaching of cooking In Germany Is carried on with German thoroughness. Not content with establishing rural schools where farmers daughters might learn the domestic arts, Germany has now instituted traveling schools. It was found that tbe rural schools did not meet tbe needs of tbe whole rural population. The bulk of this population la made up of small fanners, and in such homes the help of the daughters is needed so constantly that they csnnot be sent away from home to school. Neither can tbe money be provided for their expenses, and many farmers are afraid, too, that after their daughter bare been away to school they will not be willing to return to tbe simple conditions of tbe farm. Since the people will not go to tbe schools, therefore tbe schools are being sent to tbe people. Baden took tbe lead in tbe establishment of traveling schools of cooking and sewing, and the Idea is spreading rapidly. Hesse. Nassau, Franconia, the Palatinate, all have their traveling cooking schools or have begun to establish them. The Bavarian Farmers association bas established two such schools and selected two nuns as teachers. Tbe association pays the teachers and most of the other expenses, so that the cost to tbe pupils is very small. In some cases the township or village pays all or part of the expense of pupils who could not otherwise afford to attend the school. It bas been found that tbe traveling school has many sdvantages in addition to its accessibility. Tbe teaching can be adapted to local conditions, and tbe pupils can at once put into practice what they have learned. Furthermore, tbe teacher can visit the homes of tbe pupils and see that they really understand what has been taught. ' . SPLINT FURNITURE.

Gives an Unconventional Woodsy Appearance to Bungalow. Indian splint furniture Is the latest fad for tbe summer bungalow. This furniture, despite its somewhat bulky and rude appearance, is by no means Inexpensive, for tbe splint chair backs and seats are mounted in frames of weathered oak. and strips of galvanized steel cleverly woven through the splints makes the furniture very durable and solid. To match these big. smart looking chairs and low seats there are splint topped tables and footstools and splint woven scrap baskets, and the very up to date bungalow will have splint paneled walls divided off by uprights of weathered oak. A room of this sort, recently designed by a clever woman decorator, suggested the woodsy appearance of a mountain Interior. There were hangings of coarse canvas run with colored leather thongs and edged with colored bead fringe. Bits of dull colored Indian pottery stood about, and even the lamp shade was unconventional, being made of raffls strips in an open pattern over a Japanese rice paper lining. A High Priced Orchid. An orchid this of high degree. It Is an odontoglossnm. which was exhibited at ' tbe London flower show and which was there sold for $4,000. Making a Rare Lattuee. Mrs. Francis G. Newlanda, niece of Ward McAllister and wife of tbe Nevada senator, baa succeeded in growing a rare lettuce In tbe garden of ber country home near Washington. Tbe lettuce is very bitter, and as s salad it is a delicacy to tbe cultivated taste. Mrs. Newlands imported the seed from Italy, and she is one of tbe first to grow tbis variety in America. Tbe Newlands occupy the estate which formerly was tbe home of John it. McLean and later was owned by Admiral Dewey. Mrs. Newlands personally directs all work in tbe extensive garden. Here she grows a large variety of herbs. She bas cut tbe garden in two with a low wall of loose stones, which now la covered with vines of wild I roses, honeysuckle and ivy. To Taper the Fingers. Most women in trying to make their fingers more taper will stroke them from the base to the tip. A well known manicure bas said that the process should be reversed. Clasp tbe tip of each fineer between the thumb and first finger of opposite nsna and stroke firmly but gently backward from the tip as when working en a glove. DEATH OF LITTLE GIRL Milton, Ind., Aug. 3. Mrs. Joseph Thompson received word of the death of ber niece. Miss Genevieve Harris, aged 12, of Centerville. She died yesterday morning. She waa the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Hariris. MIDDLETOWN FAIR EXCURSIONS August 3. 4, S and 6. $1.60 Round Trip from ' Richmond over Pennsylvania ILtnes. See agent about trains.
