Ns 1M rnnnMiiiiiiH A MESS OF POTTAGE It would appear to the casual but interested observer that the Friends cr mis community are about to ex change a most desirable birthright for a mess cf pottage. There is a move ment on foot to remove the Yearly Meeting from its , almost historic grounds at the corner of 15th and Main streets and place it on the west side of the river. The agitation which )s being made by the Friends "who live on the West Side seems to us inconsiderate and unwise. We have nothing against the residents of the western part of town, but it does seem to us that the removal of the Yearly Meeting from Its accustomed place which was built for the purpose Is an unwise move and one not calculated for good either to the Society of Friends or the City of, Richmond. The pleasant trees and the green grass plot around the Meeting House form one of the most desirable breathing spots In the City of Richmond. To ruthlessly leave the established place and to do away with what amounts to a park which fs an ornament to the town, is detrimental to the town. Things of this sort are not to be classed with the location of a factory or a business block. It is on a higher plane which should take Into cognizance the fact that much silent good is accomplished by the presence of the Yearly Meeting House. We hope that something will develop in the shape of public sentiment which will dissuade the Society of Friends from an unwise and undesirable moving cf the present Yearly Meeting House from Its attractive surroundings. RICHMOND AND THE 10th. The Tenth Infantry came to Richmond last year at the time cf the Fall Festival. That they enjoyed the hospitality extended to them last year Is certain. The letter received in reply to the invitation extended them by the Executive Committee of the Fall Festival asking them to come this year was conclusive evidence that the .Tenth Infantry has a warm p!!aee in Its heart for the "Panic Proof City." As we said Just after, the Fall Fes tival last year, the conduct cf the Tenth Infantry rank and file, officers and men, was such that they could not but command the admiration of Richmond. It is commonly believed that soldiers on the march are vicious and to be looked upon with suspicion. The Tenth dispelled that illusion in great shape and did more to awaken kindly feeling for the service and respect for the army .than all the patriotic speeches on the Fourth of July have done in the whole history of the ; town. ' We hope the Tenth can come and In saying this we believe that we express the sentiment of all thmm who aw the Tenth last year. DR. WAKEFIELD Tomorrow morning, memorial services will he held In memory of the late Dr. Wakefield. For many years this kindly man moved in the circles of the town In the days that' are past and gone. The younger generation has never known him. , The older men nd women of the town who once were his friends have for the most part gone. And In spite of the change of -passing years it should be a comforting thought to all who labor and make their Influence felt in a community that their efforts he commemorated after their passing by the town which they have loved. . That Dr. Wakefield loved Richmond Is evident from' his wish that he shold he buried here In the midst

of those to whom he ministered and worked for the common good. It Is no

little debt which the living owe to the dead and though there are many who are not honored who should be. It is more than fitting that the death of those who hare done their work should be accorded a little share of the respect of the hurrying world intent on other matters. The PALLADIUM'S FASHION EDITION The Palladium's Fall Fashion Edi tion which will be issued tomorrow marks a milestone in newspaper enterprise in this part of Indiana. There have been fashion editions before in Richmond. And these were good. This edition will be better the best so far. Fashions are as big items of news as any other things they play an important role In connection with the long green In the pay envelope. They are the things which make the wearer of clothes either comfortable or uncomfortable proud or ashamed of himself. The Fall Fashion Edition which the Palladium will issue tomorrow will settle this disturbing element and give the consumer the knowledge which will protect his pocket book. The matter of fashions Is the wearisome question. The Fall Fashion number will settle this important question tomorrow and will be a model of newspaper efficiency and enterprise. J ferns Gathered in From Far and Near Value of Flowers. Floriculture develops rapidly as an American industry, as the present census will show. Even ten years ago the retail value of cut flowers was estimated at 912,500.000 and of plants $10,000,000. Of the former , roses constituted nearly a half, or $6,000,000, while only second to this royal flower was the carnation, at $4,000,000, leaving but $2,500,000 for all the other kinds. The popularity for the carnation is easily explained. It has beauty, fragrance and it has given a cordial response to development ef forts. Though a native of the south of Europe, more than 500 varieties, all of American origin, are now culti vated in this country. The monthly tree, or perpetual flowering carnations are the varietios most extensively cultivated nuder glass for winter cut flowers. They are propagated from cuttings taken from December to May, rooted in sand, transplanted in pots, and kept in cans until the danger of frost is passed, when they may be planted in the ground. Washington Herald. The Country Editor. During the eight years I worked in a country newspaper oince I nad am ple time to study and absorb the daily incidents in the life and work of a country editor. I learned for a certainty that a man to qualify for such a position must be a machinist, a politician, a financier, a diplomat and a printer, besides having a smatteringof all professions. He must be versatile, forgiving, brave, prolific, calm, temperate In all things, and withal, he must have excellent bodily health, abundant physical strength and a head filled with concrete knowledge of his village, the country, the commonwealth and all things of national and international moment and importance, from the best methods of treating the pip in light Brahmas to the latest revolutionary disturbance in the Balkans. Don Cameron Shafer In The Bohemian Magazine. Athlete a Back Nnmber. The very broad shouldered athlete who has been the popular model for illustrators whether they are making clothing advertisements or pictures for best sellers is no longer the mode. He has had his day, and the man with more normal shoulders is now preferred. "The padded out shoulders that have been characteristic of the ready to wear clothing' said one of the illustrators, "went : Into the discard weeks ago, and now they are supplying the inspiration for the comics. In the same way the man -with thick muscles and biceps is no longer in demand among the men who make the pictures for. the young girls' books. He's a back number of the most decided type. ' . : "The popular figure la., slim all the way up. It is not nan efaouldered. But of the measuirSf;;naX . the tailors cut natural, v Sa; that the shoulders seem J ader than they really are." V-no padding in a coat, hot t ft of lining that carries the a little out. " "Such is the shoulder stylsr present year. The hulk that jk. like a champagne bottle turn' side down is a thing of the past. Etw on the beaches this summer the newt medium snouiaerea man is me reai thing in masculine beauty. "The broad shouldered idol of former years seems to realize this for he attempts to make himself look narrow by the cut of his bathing suit, letting the jersey run out to the arms." New York Sun. TWINKLES TO THE NORTH POLE. Ah..there, North" Pole! Frosen end of a long roll Of living and dead who have sought in vain To make your place of sprouting plain. You're discovered at last, goldern you! And we'll proceed to turn you. Into something of more worth Than merely the top end of the earth.

For ages, there on the roof. You have held aloof From man. And plan - As he might to come nigh. You left him, unwelcomed, to freeze and to die; Alone On your Icy throne You have sat For all the world to wonder where you were at; From the frapped silence of the north You sent no message forth Inviting man to call And join you on the apex of the terrestrial hall, But now Wow! You're discovered at last, And your past, No longer a mystery Will be put into history, Hully gee! N. P. You can't buck against man when he goes After what he knows Is there. And say Since the Yankee has come your way By Cripes!

He'll string the glorious Stars and Stripes On you And make the Red, White and Blue Turn you into hot stuff. Ain't that enough? Ain't you glad that the starry rag Is the North Pole flag? We love the nations of the world, But oh, you Pole. We've got you Unless Cook has put his book Into the wrong cake of ice. What? W. J. Lampton In N. Y. World. IN THE COLD, GRAY DAWN. I dreamed that I dwelt on an isle of cracked ice, In the midst of a lake of champagne Where bloomed the mint Juleps in meadows of green, Amid showers of lithla rain.' I reclined on a divan of lager beer foam. With a pillow of froth for my head, While the spray from the fountain of sparkling gin fizz Descended like dew on my head. From far-away mountains of crystal line ice, A zephyr refreshing and cool Came wafting the incense of sweet muscatel That sparkled in many a pool. My senses were cooled by the soft nurlinff sonjr of a brooklet of pousse cafe That rlDDled along over pebbles of snow To a river of absinthe frappe. Then lulled by the music of tinkling glass From the schooners that danced on the deep, I dreamily sipped a highball or two And languidly floated . asleep, And then J awoke on a bed of rocks. With a bolster as bard as a brick, A wrench in my back, a rack in my head, And a stomach detestably sick, With sand in my eyes and grit in my throat, Where the taste of last evening still clung, And felt a bath towel stuffed in my mouth, Which I afterward found was my tongue; And I groped for the thread of the evening before In a mystified maze of my brain. Until a great light burst upon me at last, I'm off of the wagon again. Chattanooga Times. Plant historians have uever yet set tied to their satisfaction just how the pansy originated. It was known as a garden flower in England fully three centuries ago. and the probability Is that it was developed from a certain species of violet with tricolored petals, which Is still to be found growing wild along British waysides and in other parts of northern Europe. The old herbalist Gerade. describing the "pansle. or heart's ease," as he knew it. says quaintly that it has "flowers in form and figure like the violet and for the the most part of the same bignesse of three sundry colors that is to say. purple, yellow and white or blue by reason of the beautle and braverie of which colors they are pleasing to the eye. For smell they bare little or none at all. The root Is nothing else but. as It were, a bundle of threddy string " Inndon Graphic , Death Traps In the Rockies.

HAVE GREAT SPEED WAR Great Northern and C, M. & St. P. Are Rivals in a Deadly Duel. AFTER A MAIL CONTRACT TWO WARRING SYSTEMS HAVE EACH OFFERED THE GOVERNMENT TO CUT OFF 16 HOURS IN TIME TO COAST. (American New Service) Washington, D. C, Sept. IS. Rival propositions to carry the mails from Chicago to Seattle in fifty-six hours have been submitted to the Postoffico Department by the Great Northern Railway company and by the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad. Such an accomplishment as is pro posed would clip sixteen hours off the present schedule for the 2,200 miles. The threatened 6peed war has for Its reward the four-year contract for car rying the overland mail from Chicago for the Puget Sound country, Alaska, and trans-Pacific ports, and from Chi cago to St. Paul and Minneapolis. It means nearly $7,000,000 additional rev enue to the successful road during th! four years following next February, when the contract is due to be award ed. The connection of the Puget Sound extension of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul has made it possible to compete for the contract for carrying the Puget sound mall. Its submission of a proposal at this time, bowever. Is said not to have been anticipated until very recently, as the extension is used now only for freight traffic. In order to meet the schedules proposed the successful company plans to run a train exclusively for mail and express. Proposed Schedule Time. With the St. Paul attempting to ob tain the Pacific coast contract, the Great Northern includes in its proposal to the government an offer to carry the mails to St. Paul and Minneapolis. The schedule submitted by the Great Northern provides for the train to leave Chicago at 1:50 a. m., Monday; Minneapolis at 7:55 a. m., Monday; Havre, 7:27 a. m., Tuesday; leave Butte, 7 p. m. Tuesday; leave apokane. 11:10 p. m. Tuesday, and arrive in Seattle at lo a. m. weanesaay. Tne mau wouia also reach Tacoma at 12 o'clock noon Wednesday, and Portland at 8 a. m. Wednesday. It is proposed by the Great Northern company to use the Chicago. Burlington & Quincy railroad between Chicago and Minneapolis and its own tracks between Minneapolis and the Pacific coast. The schedule of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul provides for its train to leave Chicago at 9:55 p. m., Sunday: Minneapolis at 8:15 a. m. Monday; Aberdeen at 2:50 p. m. Monday; Miles City at 12:12 a, m. Tuesday; Butte at llrSO a. m., Tuesday and to arrive at Seattle at 5 a. m. Wednesday. Tacoma would be reached at 6:50 a. m. Wednesday. Great Northern Route Longer. The exact time consumed by the Great Northern would be 5tf hours and 10 minutes, while the rival schedule calls for the trip to be made in 55 hours and 55 minutes. The Great Northern route is seventy miles longer, being 2.247 miles, while the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul is 2,177. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul train would leave Chicago four hour? earlier, but not until the heavy fast mails on the New York Central and the Pennsylvania lines had arrived, and the accumulation of the business mails at Chicago during the afternoon had, been put aboard. -..-;p In contrast with the rivalry -MS North the speed war antidnf carrying the mail to Califorp?' to be dwindling.

Some Death Statistics of Children

"The compulsory school age is 7. to 14. It may be said that practically all children in this age period go to school. It will therefore be interesting to study the deaths which occur in this period as related to the school months," states Dr. J. Hurty. "There are in the office of the state board of health 1104 death certificates collected in 1908, telling all particulars of the death of that number of chil dren In the age period of 7 to 14. Of this number 816 or 73.9 per cent, died during the school months and 2S3 or 21.1 per cent, died in vacation months. The school months are here consid ered to be October to May. "Now, how did the sickness during the school period compare with the sickness of the vacation period?

Commander Has Busy Day. The commander had an active day. In the morning he received Captain Dickson of the Canadian government steamer Tyrian, and half an hour later he welcomed the newspaper correspondents who came uo to Battle Harbor on the Tyrian. One of the first things he did was to go on the quarterdeck of the Roosevelt and face a battery of cameras. When the pictures had been taken Commander Peary and the correspond ents all went ashore to the loft of a fish house on the wharf, where the explorer became the target for a broadside of questions. Villagers in the Audience. In addition, the crews of the steam ers and sailing vessels In port, the local merchants and fishermen, and a gathering of srxwll boys filled the rude hall and listened to what might be termed Peary's first public lecture since his return from the pole. This gathering at Battle Harbor, a fishing port on the coast of Labrador, which before the coming of Peary, was practically unknown to the world at large, was facetiously denominated as "the first class in north pole geography."

stood 3 in the school period asainst 1 in the vacation period. We find the sickness ratio is 4 to 1. In other words, the children in the school age period of 7 to 14 suffer four times as much sickness and three times as much death while going to school as they do In vacation period. This is largely because of unsanitary schoolhouses and because of our failure to medically Inspect the children. In other words, we, the people. Impose sickness and death upon our children because of our ignorance, our neglect, and often because of a false notlion of economy. It surely would be a good thing for us to do away with the old disease, death dealing school houses. We can not deny air, sufficient light, even warmth and facilities for bodily relief to our children, and expect them to be well."

Commander Peary described the celebration of Christmas day, the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving day, and St. Patrick's day in the far north. On Christmas day they had a dinner and a distribution of presents that had been brought with this celebration In mind. The gifts Included a box of gifts from Sir William McGregor, tehn the governor of New Foundland, and boxes of candy from Mrs. Peary. Describing the flags be had raised at the pole. Commander Peary made particular mention of the silk American flag given him by his wife fifteen years ago and which he had carried on every one of his arctic expeditions, leaving a part at the most northerly point attained. The remnant of this flag raised at the pole consisted of one star and a section of the blue field and a part of the red and white stripes. nard'Uuck. '7ootlite iiscton Failure?

Just issued tor August, has the following to say in regard to disease and death In the state for the month. Diarrhoea was reported as the most prevalent disease, and typhoid fever stood second. These diseases proceed from eating poisoned food, drinking polluted water and from unsanitary living. It was strange, for an open summer month, but nevertheless, tonsilltls was the third most prevalent disease. Diphtheria and scarlet fever stood tenth and eleventh in area of prevalence. There was little difference In sickness between August 1909 and 1908. Neither Improvement or retrogression to record. For the month, the deaths numbered 3,164. with a death rate cf 1S.9.

MET TRAGIC DEATH ejBMSBSSSlBSBS) Son of Rev. Dr. Hallam Was

Killed While Cleaning His Rifle. IS NO SUICIDAL THEORY Word has been received in this city . of the recent tragic death of Frank Hallam, Jr.. eldest son of Dr. and Mrs. Frank Hallam, formerly ot Richmond, at the home of his parents In Jackson, Miss. The young man was well known in this city. His father. Dr. Hallam, was pastor of the S Paul's Episcopal church here after Dr. Wakefield and immediately before the Rev. Cathell took the pastorate. From what can be learned ot the accident that resulted In the death of the young man. It appears that Hallam was engaged In cleaning his rifle In his bedroom when the weapon was accidentally discharged, the ballet en tering nis Drain ana causing umon instantaneous death. It was thought at first that the wound had been purposely self inflicted but the more plausible theory is that it was accidental. Young Hallam was 28 years of age. He was connected with the passenger department of the Missouri Pacific, with headquarters at Pittsburg, and was on a visit to his parents when the accident occurred. The Worry Habit. Tbe worry habit Is one that grows rapidly. The more It Is indulged In the stronger It becomes. When you dlscorer that you are Its victim jut stop and consider: What do I sain by it? If so. what is tbe gain? What do I lose by it? Health, strength, cheerfulness, tbe power of helping others. Whatever yon do don't saj. 1 can't help It" The worry , habit Is easily overcome If one Is determined. May Be Dean of RstdclHfe.
