THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 419091

CELEBRATION BY IIIOIAIIA FRIENDS LAST SEPTEMBER

Quakers Are to Observe the Centennial of the Founding Of the First State Monthly Meeting. WHITEWATER MEETING ORGANIZED IN 1809 Observation of the Event Will Be Held in Richmond While The Yearly Meeting Is in Progress. ' The first established monthly meetking of Friends in Indiana was White"water monthly meeting of Richmond, which was organized on September Z)0, 1800, and the one hundredth anniversary of the event will be appropriately celebrated in Richmond this month during the time that the Indiana yearly meeting is in session. The program will include addresses by several prominent Friends in America, among them being Rufus Jones, of (Philadelphia, editor of the American Friend, one of the most widely known 'Quakers In the United States. The anniversary exercises will be held in North A street Friends' (church. The congregation of this Achurch is Identified with what is commonly called the Kickslte branch of Friends, 'a smaller body and of less influence at this time than the orthodox wing. The separation in the Friends' church many years ago as a result of slight doctrinal differences baa been a matter of regret to leaders In both branches and it has been predicted In recent years that the time is not far distant when a reunion will be brought about. When Quakers Came to Indiana. The holding of the anniversary exercises in the Ificksite church is significant, for the program will include speakers of both Hicksite and orthodox bodies. Quakerism in Wayne county precedes the founding of Whitewater monthly meeting a little more than three years. It has been just 103 years ago this month of August 'that David Hoover and a few other of the real pioneers of eastern Indiana, who had but recently come Into the north from South Carolina, all of them Friends, were Joined by Jeremiah Oox As soon as he had built a cabin (or his abode he began preparing for an organization of a Friends' "meeting." In Nnvpmhpr of that vpnr 1MM fh mall number of Quakers in the settlement gathered at the home of Cox and held services. John Simpson, according to recorded history of the event, preached the initial sermon. In the following summer, 180T, aj regularly organized Friends' subordi nate meeting was brought about and weekly services held In a cabin on the land of Jeremiah Cox. On September 80, 1800, Miami quarterly meeting established Whitewater monthly meeting Anil ItfrlA nnnffrAHnn nrffnnWfl three years before now became a factor in the affairs of the Friends' society In the middle west. In 1815, nine years after its establishment, it numbered nine hundred members and was composed of the following subordinate meetings: Whitewater, West Grove, Silver Creek, Middle Fork, Elkhorn fend Chester. Society's Growth Has Been 8teady. The growth of the society in this section of Indiana from that time has been steady, though in the last fifty years the numbers have not increased with the rapidity that marked its progress the first half of the century. Richmond owes its founding to Friends, and its development In commercial lines has in a great measure been Influenced by this denomination. There can be no denial of the fact that Earlhara college, the Quaker seat of learning, has had more to do with the advancement of Richmond In an educational way than any other cause.

Fire ruins of in the world, owes Its origin to Whitewater monthly meeting, for it was in Richmond in 1821 that the organization was brought about. The present yearly meeting house in Hast Main street, the largest edifice of this denomination in the country, and where the annual deliberations of the parent body are held, was built in 1878, and the building used prior to that time for fifty years still stands in the north part of Richmond, now being used as the warehouse of a lumber company. The structure is in a good state of preservation and during the anniversary of Whitewater monthly meeting will be visited by the Friends. No building . now standing in Richmond has more historical interest and as a result of the approaching centennial anniversary old prints and paintings of the meeting house are in demand. Painting Depicts Historic Building. The painting by Marcus Mote, the Quaker artist, who died a dozen years ago, is said to give a most accurate idea of the old building and its surroundings in the early days of the society. Its construction was begun in 1822, but lack 01 funds prevented its entire completion until 1829, though as early as 1824 it was occupied for meeting purposes.1 From 1824 to 1878 the annual deliberations of Indiana yearly meetings was held in this structure and during that long period its walls often resounded with the gospel message of many noted Friend ministers from both sides of the Atlantic. Hannah C. Backhouse, Joseph Gurney, Benjamin Seebohn and Joseph Bevan Braithwaite were among the prominent Quakers from England who spoke there. One of the historic events recorded in the minutes of Whitewater monthly meeting was the attendance "at the first day morning meeting of Henry Clay, tenth month, 2d, 1842." At that time Clay was making an overland tour of the midd'e west by way of the historic National road and he spent two or. three days in Richmond.

Sixes That Become Nines Is the Perpetual Motion Answer

Chicago, Sept. 4. Is the figure "6"' lighter than the figure "9?" Or, to put it another way, is the figure "S" heavier than the figure "6?" Still again, will figures, so placed on the spokes of a wheel that such figures will be "9s" going down and "6s" go ing up, keep the aforesaid wheel revolving continually without any motive power? These thoughts were extracted from the mind of a man who yesterday watched what purports to be a pepetual motion device in full operation. The machine is the invention of WL L. Saunders, 1604 Fort Dearborn building and he has had a copyright and patent on everything connected with the device in order to protect his invention from possible rivals. He does not state to what use his invention will be put. The machine is about 18 inches high and 12 inches at the base. It consists of thirteen glass spokes running from a steel and cork axle, and at the end of the spokes is a blown glass affair with the figure "9" on it from one point of view; from another point of view it has the figure "6" painted on it. The machine, socalled, is guaranteed to run as long as the materials in it withstand the ordinary wear and tear.

Iidj Jeassu, crown prince of Abyssinia, has invited Theodore Roosevelt to a great elephant hunt promising to beat up a white elephant for him to kill, and otherwise to arrange a splendid sporting programme. This news has been brought to Berlin by Adolf Mayer, a kinsman of King Menelik'of Abyssinia, commissioned by the Abyssinian government to- purchase supplies. King Menelik sent an invitation to Mr. Roosevelt at Washington to be his guest, but Mr. Roosevelt declined, explaining that as he had refused the ln- ; vitations of several European sovereigns he could not make an exception of King Menelik; however much he might desire to do so. It was then arranged that the crown prince should invite Mr. Roosevelt unofficially. Be-1 fore Mayer left Abyssinia a mission had been sent to hand this invitation to Mr. Roosevelt wherever found. : Horsemen to Beat Up Elephant "The envoys of the xlng are empowered to 'point out to Mr. Roosevelt" Mr. Mayer said today, "that there Is unrivaled eleph&it hunting In Abyssinia, The crown prince will send out 5,000 horsemen to encircle an immense range of prairie and drive in the elephants. Hundreds, and possibly thousands of elephants could be thus assembled, and there would probably be one or two white ones In this number. These beasts are not really white, but merely animals of great vigor who have lived to be gray-haired." When it " was suggested that the crown prince of Abyssinia was only 14 years old, Mr. Mayer replied that Abyssinians develop young. He declared that the prince was an expert and adventurous huntsman, that he spoke English, French and German, and that he was quite capable personally of showing Mr. Roosevelt fine hunting.

there to show that no wires make the device go or that no other unseen articles are used to make the perpetual motion device keep its momentum. The glass wheel and the glass blown bulbs with the figure "9" or "6" painted on them turn to the left continuously. Back of the wheel is a card which is supposed to inform the inquisitive person who is wondering why the wheel turns without any visible means. It reads as follows: "The '6' going up on the right becomes a '9 going down on the left. The V being so much more than the '6' overbalances the latter, causing the wheel to turn continuously." Some of the people believe the card, others don't, but at least the card Is as near as any one has come to a true solution of the problem of the little wheel's motion. The device was made after long years of study on the part of Mr. Saunders, and it is now copyrighted and patented in Washington. Mr. Saunders claims it is the only machine ever patented under a perpetual motion patent He claims it does not run by electricity, magnetism, temperature, steam, friction or anything else that any one can name offhand, but the secret of the real reason it revolves is locked in the bosom of the inventor. of King Menelik." Mr. Mayer said in conclusion, "of Mr. Roosevelt's prowess as a horseman-, a hunter, a soldier and an administrator. The king is most keen to greet him, and probably would go to the borders of his country with a great following to receive Mr. Roosevelt.' Mr. Mayer is the son of a German engineer, who married a sister of King Meneliki I see where some college professor Is writing about The, Women -Men Marry.'" "Yes, rve read It." "Do you sgree with his conclusion? What women do you think men generally marry?" "Their wives." Baltimore American.

This does not mean that there are less worthy poor, but it does mean that the im poster has been eliminated and the worthy and necessary recipients of charity are getting better help than you could give them personally. Why It Was Organized. In years gone by, our citizens dispensed charity in an unsystematic and indiscriminate way which resulted in the city being overrun with beg gars and the encouragement of idle ness among our own shiftless people. What has brought about this change? When our citizens realized that something must be done to stop this constantly growing evil, a meeting was called of all the charity organiza tions of the city and a general organ! zation resulted from that meeting and thus the Associated Charities was formed. This association has ever since acted as a sort of clearing house for all the general' charity work of the city. The citizen, instead- of giving to every 'beggar that came, made his subscription to the Associated Charities, and turned all callers for aid over to the Association for investigation and help. The Association employs a city missionary whose business it is to investigate all cases of suffering and distress that are brought to her attention. This plan stopped those who were unworthy, from going from house to house, and from one organi FOUR-GORED SKIRT.

zation to the other and lay In a generous store of supplies.

Who Conducts It? The organization is conducted by as large hearted and generous a lot of Christian women as ever came to bless any community. They toil and manage, and make sacrifice of time, money and strength, without hope of reward except a consciousness of having helped to relieve suffering humanity. The City Missionary is the only person connected with the Association that receives pay. and she must give all her time to it and furnish her own conveyance for thirty dollars per month for nine months of the year. Something About the Plan. The Township Trustee expends the largest amount of money for relief, but is limited to five dollars per month to each family. Where the family con sists of several persons, this amount is inadequate and the charity organi zations must supply the rest In order to prevent actual suffering. All such cases are reported to the Association and the Missionary will make an in vestigation and provide the relief. This relief does not always consist in furnishing supplies. Often counsel and advice are more helpful. The distress may be the result of poor man agement or bad housekeeping. The Missionary often goes into the home, instructs the mother how to sweep and scrub the house, nurse the sick, how to cook, and mend. She will find employment for the able bodied, or homes for the children, and thus put them in the way of self-support. Charity thus dispensed with something or humanity, something of Christianity, and something of morality, will give life to every remaining: spark of manhood and womanhood in the recipient and instead of being a burden in the community they will become helpful citizens. It Is a significant fact that no family that was given aid by the organization a few years ago is now requiring aid from any source. This is a strong endorsement for the economic phase of this plan. At the headquarters of the Associa tion similar work is being done. The tramp who calls is made to take a bath, is clothed and given employment if investigation proves that he will work. Girls are taught how to cook and do other house work, which enables them to find employment at house work. Mothers have been taught how to wash and mend to help them in self-support After all. the highest kind of charity is to help peo ple to help themselves. Other Charity Organizations. We would not detract in the least from the very efficient work of the other charity organizations in the city, each of which is doing a very commendable work in its own peculiar field, and deserve the most hearty support The Flower Mission looks after the sick, the Penny Club prepares children for school, the Woman's Relief Corps provides for the soldier, his widow or orphan, and the Churches generally take care of the poor In their own membership.

still leaves a wide field for the Associated Charities. ' How Duplication Is Avoided. The representatives of these organizations come together in a monthly meeting, each being provided with uniform blanks, upon which the names cf those helped are written. The condi tions of the cases are discussed, and the lists exchanged. This makes it impossible for anyone to go from one organisaztlon to the other for help. Members of the County Board of Charities, the Township Trustees, the Truant Officer and the police Join in this conference. In this way the work is systematized and much money is saved both to the township and the voluntary organizations. Call Phone 2453 about your yard. PALLADIUM WANT ADS.
