PAGE TWO CONGREGATION TO HOLD CELEBRATION WANT LIGHTS III DARKSTAIRVVAYS Police Commissioners Want to Put Stop to "Buzzing" Game. Giant Dirigible Makes Poor Start WHY FILL THE GARRET. : . : : : Golden Anniversary of Christian Church Will Start This Evening. REV. HOWE THE SPEAKER IT WOULD REDUCE CRIME

OFFICIALS WILL TAKE STEPS TO HAVE ORDINANCE COMPELLING ILLUMINATION OF STAIRWAYS INTRODUCED.

An ordinance requiring the lighting of halls and stairways of public hall and business houses will be presented to council, soon, it is believed, and the police commissioners will advise Its. passage. The police commission ers favor It because they believe it will prevent stairway "buzzing." In event it does come up it is expected that the church nad moral element of the city will support the measure. The police commissioners have had the matter under consideration almost from the time they went Into office. No law which would uphold the board Issuing an order for landlords to keep public halls and stairways lighted, prevented any action being taken. As the result of an investigation the board can give council some interesting and valuable data about every stairway In the city. Of Vital Imuortance. The police commissioners say that parents should be interested in such an ordinance as it .is of vital importance to them. The seduction of young girls into some of the darker stairways Is a comparatively common practice, according to the commissioners. The dark stairways are also favorite places for other people of questionable character. ' Once an entrance is effected to the stairway without being seen, the "Kissee-Kiss-Kiss lovers can sit in comparative safety at the top of the stairs without being seen or heard. Other forms of misdemeanors and even crimes are lessened by light being thrown in favorite stairway haunts. Glascow and other cities of Scotland have laws compelling the lighting of stairways and halls, which is regarded as being of great benefit. Police officials of these cities attribute the reduction' In crime to this one -law.- ': ' ' ' HEWERS A FEATURE Weil Known Monologist at the Y. M. C. A. Meeting Sunday Afternoon.

"Not infrequent rays of unconscious humor illumine the otherwise Impossible stories that come to my desk from amateurs." says a reader for one of the magazine. "Recently I chanced upon this choice' bit: 'John, the husband, and Grace, the wife, ate on together in silence. There was Indubitably an ill feeling between them. The husband devoured a plate of soup, half a fish, an entree or two, a piece of roast beef, together with a sweet, without ever once opening his mouth.'" Would Improve.

The Arkansas Traveller, the biggest airship ever built in the United States, which has been constructed at Morris Park, New York, by Joel T. Rice, of Arkansas. As Col. Rice and his son started on their preliminary flight the propellers were broken while the long drag lines still touched the ground. The crowd grabbed the lines and dragged the craft back to its moorings.

COUNTY COUNCIL WILL BE CALLED To Make Appropriations for a Bridge and for the Infirmary. TO BUILD INSANE WARDS MONEY WILL BE PROVIDED TO SECURE AN ARCHITECT TO DRAFT PLANS FOR INSANE WARDS AT THE INSTITUTION. "The county council will be called in special session during the first week in December by County Auditor Demas 6oe, in order that appropriations may be made for the repair or replacement of a wooden bridge on the Middleborough pike, and to employ an architect to plan for county infirmary wards for the care of the insane. C. E. Wiley chairman of the board of commission ers, asked that the council be called in special session. It is probable that at the special ses sion the council will make a small ap propriation which will enable' the county to employ architects to make plans for the insane wards. It is improbable that an appropriation will be made for the construction of the wards at this time, as it would be impossible to complete the work before the first of the year. The council will have ta meet after the first of the year to make the appropriation, according to law. The bridge on the Middleborough pike has reached such a condition that it must be improved. One end has sunk. It is probable that repairs amounting to a few hundred dollars will be sufficient. At the next meeting of the commissioners it is probable that estimated appropriations will be made as to the amounts they expect will be necessary to meet the improvements.

SHE STOLE RINGS OF HER EMPLOYER

Colored Girl, Fourteen Years Old, Makes a Raid at Tebbetts Home. SHE ALSO SECURED MONEY NEGRESS HAS CONFESSED TO THE THEFT AND WILL BE BOUND OVER TO THE JUVENILE COURT BY CONVERSE. Victoria Ross, colored, aged 14 years, was arrested this morning on a charge of larceny. The girl is employed as domestic in the home of Charles Teb betts, 800 National Road west. It i3 alleged that she stole four rings and $5 in money belonging to Mrs. Tebbetts. The negress has confessed to the theft and will be bound over to the juvenile court Monday. She probably will be sent to the Girls' Industrial School at Indianapolis, it is said. About a month ago the loss of the rings was discovered and the Ross girl was immediately suspected. However, the girl denied her guilt when questioned and as there was no evidence against her, the matter was dropped. Just a week later $o in money was missed by Mrs. Tebbetts. Recognizes the Bill. It appears that a friend of the latter was in a local dry goods store when the Ross girl purchased a dress skirt. Thinking that the girl had not come by the money honestly, the friend notified Mrs. Tebbetts of the occurrence. She then visited the store and immediately recognized the $o bill as the one which had been stolen from her. It was not until after a severe sweating by the police, however, that the girl admitted her guilt. She stated that she had given the rings to a friend by the name of Sally Jefferson, who resides in Dayton. The money has been recovered, and it is thought th? rings, which are valuable, will also be secured. A FEDERAL COORT RAPS OIL TRUST Standard Oil Company of New Jersey Was Today Ordered Dissolved.

NEW CASTLE DIVINE WAS FORMERLY PASTOR OF THE LOCAL CHURCH OTHER FEATURES OF THE PROGRAM.

Fifty years ago, so the records say, the First Christian church, this city was organized. The exact dates were November 20, 21 and 22, IflCiO. There were thirteen charter members, no meeting house, save as they shared with each other the hospitality of their hearth stones, and bound to each other only by the common faith that they professed in their one Lord. Such was the humble beginning out of which the present organization has come, and the fact that this is the golden jubilee was deemed of sufficient importance by members and officers to call for a fit ting celebration. This begins tonight. Rev. L. C. Howe, pastor of the Central Christian church, New Castle, Indiana, will be the speaker and will use as his topic "The Hero of the Ages." Mr. Howe was formerly pastor of the local con gregation, and many of the present members remember him with great pleasure, and will be present to we' come him. Two others of the speak ers arrived this afternoon: Gary L. Cook. State Secretary of the Bible School work of Indiana and Rev. S. S Lappin, the office editor of the Chris tian Standard,. Cincinnati, Ohio. Cook Speaks Sunday. Mr. Cook will speak tomorrow morning at the Bible school period and will take as his subject. "The Dignity of the Bible School." Mr. Lappin will speak both morning and evening tomorrow taking as his morning subject, "The Restoration of the Teaching Function of the Church," and in the evening, "A Centennial Retrospect." The Monday evening meeting will be in charge of Rev. II" I. Mercer, Spring field, Ohio. His subject will be "The Kingliness of service." The Tuesday evening meeting will be in charge of F. F. Haisley, who will conduct it along the line of reminiscences, call ing to his aid those who have been longest in service in the church, and the main address to be given by Rev J. J. Morgan. Johnetown Pa. - -Letters of greeting from former pastors will be read from time to time. Sheridan E. Mills, the chairman of the official board, has prepared a historical sketch of the church, and will read this on Tuesday evening. So far as the committee having in charge the preparations for the celebration are able to see, all is in readiness. The church has been tastily decorated for the event, beautiful souve nir programs are printed, special music is provided, and the congregation cordially invites the community at large to share with it in the fellowship of this occasion. to exist and there would be no holding company for the mammoth business. Therefore all subsidary com panies would have to be conducted in dependently. REAL ESTATE TAX SLOW COMING Numerous Delinquencies Wayne Township Are Shown This Year. in WAS SOME CARELESSNESS ESPECIALLY AMONG THOSE WHO OWN PROPERTY IN ADDITIONS WHICH ARE NOT YET ANNEXED TO RICHMOND, s The tax duplicates of the county show that there have been numerous delinquencies on real estate in Wayne township this year, due to the fact that owners of lots in Beallview. Benton Heights and other additions to the city of Richmond which have not yet been taken into the city, seemed to have neglected to inform the treasurer when paying taxes that they owned property both in the city and out. In a majority of cases these delinquencies are charged against persons who also own property in Richmond and who, when calling at the treasurer's office to pay their taxes, simply asked for "Richmond tax." No Heavy Delinquency. Consequently taxes on outlying lota were not paid on. In no event, however, is the amount of such delinquencies heavy, the average tax per year on the lots as now valued being less than 50 cents. It will be surprising to some persons, however, to receive notice of delinquency and they will wonder why it happened. Other delinquencies will run as hiifi or higher than last year, the Richmond list probably exceeding that of last year. Where taxes are not paid on real estate that has become delinquent, such property will be offered for sale in February next.

Braech DOG BIT VICTIM DIED EARLY TODAY Strapped to Her Cot, Unfortunate Woman Suffered Greatest Agony. SHE RAVED FOR TWO DAYS AND HER BARKING GREATLY ALARMED THE INMATES OF THE NEW YORK HOSPITAL IN WHICH SHE WAS CONFINED. (American News Service) New York, Nov. 20. Mrs. Goldea Frielander of Carmel, N. J., who was taken to Bellevue hospital, with acute hydrophobia two days ago, died early today, strapped to her cot and in the most terrible agony that her attend ing physicians have ever witnessed Opiates failed of all effect against the hydrophobia poison. Her husband was at her bedside and was almost driven insane at seeing her tortures. Showed Great Strength. The woman displayed almost superhuman strength, so great was her vitality. Late at night, when she was in the last stages of the disease, she suddenly burst the bonds that held her to her cot and sprang up. She darted to the other end of the room before the nurses could stop her and it was only after four persons struggled iitj yr t they were able to draHrSrback to the cot. There she "was again strapped down and the bonds held, though she struggled madly. Mrs. Frielander was bitten on October 10th by a- pet mastiff. To Establish Industrial ColUgaa. John Mitchell, chairman of the Industrial trades committee of the American Federation of Labor and secretary of the National Civic federation, says that It is the intention of the committee to establish industrial colleges In all populous sections. "In a general way," he said, "we plan to make the industrial educational systems of the various localities distinct from cultural education. We do not plan anything In connection with the primary school system at all. We aim to take hold of the children when they finish the primary schools at about the age of fourteen and give them a four year course in our schools. These schools would have to be part of the educational system in a way, because they would be public schools supported by the public. The subjects to be taught will depend on the industrial circumstances of the locality. For instance, where there Is a shoe manufacturing vicinity there should be a shoe trade school. Where there are textile works there should be textile schools." Increased . Railroad Pensions. Fifty employees of the Pennsylvania RaOroad company, representing the various departments and brotherhoods, met In Altoona. Pa., recently to draft a plan whereby the pensions of retired employees can be raised sufficiently to keep them from want. This Is the second movement of tbe kind. The first suggested that each employee donate one day's wages a year to creating a fund to Increase the amount of the pension received from the company, and high officials approv. ed it, but tbe lawyers said tt would be Illegal. . The method now adopted Is for each employee to donate 2 cants a day to tbe relief department, tbe money to be used to pay each pensioned veteran an additional pension of $25 a month. Tbe plan will be put In proper form and submitted to the Philadelphia officials for their approvel at once. ... Oil Paintings.

WAS A DIVORCE DAY Circuit Court This Morning Hears Tales of Marital Troubles. TWO SEPARATIONS GIVEN Saturday, in the circuit court, as us ual, was featured by its divorce cases. two being granted by Judge Fox Frank Dennis, formerly employed in one of the local banking institutions. was granted a divorce from Martha Dennis, on the grounds of abandonment. The other applicant, William E. Hoover, received the custody of six minor children and a divorce from Sarah E. Hoover, on the grounds of adultery and abandonment. The Dennis case was heard early and was not featured by any sensational testimony. It was shown that Mrs. Dennis abandoned her husban.l four years ago. They were married May 17. 1877. Mr. Dennis is now In a bank at Hagerstown. An Unfaithful Wife. Mr. Hoover, who is a resident of Fairview, is an example of a man whit forgave bis wife to no avail. His wjfe and George McKinstry were arrested during the summer of 1!S, while living together as man and wife. Each were sentenced to twenty-one days in the county prison. After his wife served her time, Hoover forgave her and took her to his domicile in Fairview. Two weeks had not passed before she again deserted him. but after two weeks, returned. In October, she left him for good and her present whereabouts are not known to him. GETTING BE HABIT It appears to be a new fad among prisoners at the county jail to get drunk Immediately on being released from the prison. The second case of the kind to occur within the past two days was that of Harry Schlinskl. a Hunyak. The foreigner was released from jail yesterday and had only enjoyed his freedom for about five hours when be was pinched for intoxication by officers Edwards and Menke. The man was very unruly when arrested on Fort Wayne avenue and inclined to be most hostile. He challenged everyone in that section of the city to fight, but his bluff was called by the two patrolmen. In the city court this afternoon the foreigner was fined $10 and costs and went down. Disraeli tho Dandy. A contemporary of Lord Disraeli la his memoirs recorded this impression of that famous dandy's personal appearance: Usually he wore a slate colored velvet coat lined with satin, parpie trousers - with a gold band down the outside seam, a scarlet waistcoat, long lace ruffles falling down to the tips of his fingers, white gloves with brilliant rings outside them and long black ringlets rippling down over his shoulders. When he rose In the bouse he wore a bottle green frock coat, with a white waistcoat, collarless. and s needless display of gold chains. I don't like your cook book It dot
