Firemen's Relief

The action of a resident of Spring Grove who gave $50 for the relief of Iremen In appreciation of the prompt response to his residence outside the city limits brings up a pretty little question. It Is generally admitted that pension funds when properly handled are things which build up rather than tear down the efficiency of any business. It encourages faithful service and particularly in dangerous occupations such as the fire department makes a certain needed restitution to the man who does his duty which the ordinary wage earner docs not. It Is true that in this country we are behind every other civilized country In the world, barring none, in the matter of old age and disability pensions. Tho German government albeit an empire, has arranged Its foundation for old age, disability and other forms of workmen's compensation and it will probably escape the whirlwind. Now that society has become organized in such fashion that the chances are no longer equal for men to succeed it is about the least that society can do to to rule out of existence the fear of want and poverty from tho performance of service.

Not all this applies with equal force to the fire department of Richmondand yet there Is not a man on the force, we believe, who would not risk his very life In the saving of property and other lives. What compensation Is ho given for this risk? For a city to nay: "If he doc-sn't want the job let him resign" does not put tho city any higher than the railroad that treats its employes with that attitude and throws the burden of its misdeeds on all society by fighting proper workmen's compensation in the courts. That la an old story. If the city cannot take this up if its needs arc too great, private individuals who are more benefited than the average run of the public ought to be allowed that outlet If they want it.

Boiled down: Why treat the fireman as if he were a mere holder of a city Job when he ought to be encouraged to feel that he is the part of an efficient and honorable service which is distinguished for bravery and appreciated ?

FINE HOMES WERE "SPEAK EASIES' Wilkes-Uarre, March 7. Laborers armed with axes and crowbars completed, at behest of tho Pennsylvania company, destruction of tho fine residences of Joseph liutler and Patrick Moffit, of Browntown, because they wero charged with conducting "speak easles," au alleged violation of their agreement with tho company. Most of tho houses in Browntown arc built on land owned by the coal company and the owners pay a nom inal ground rent, the understanding being that they must be law abiding citizens In return for tho privilege. One of the clauses in the agreement Is that there shall be no unlicensed sale of liquor. Recently agents of the company de cided that "speak easies" were being conducted In tbe Butler and Moffitt residences, two of tho best in the village, and the company officials issued orders for the nouses to be torn down. The force of laborers have completed the work of destruction, notwithstanding appeals to tho company officials. One Woman's Way.

RUNAWAY HORSE LEAD VILLAGE BAND Danville, 111.. March 7. It wa3 a runaway horse that frustrated the bank robbery at Newton, Fountain county, Indiana. The burglars had entered tho bank and blown off the outer door of the safe with nitroglycerin when Raymond Hummins and Hersey Wood, who had been calling on some woung women In the country, drove up. The robbers stopped the horse, but did it so suddenly that the animal became frightened, bolted and ran, ovturnlng the vehicle and throwing the young men out. The burglars became frightened at this and after cautioning tho young men to Keep quiet on the penalty of death entered an automobile and drove away. Hummins and Wood did not know what was up, but suspecting something wrong gave the alarm and citizens soon discovered what had occurred. An alarm was given and every avenue of escape watched, but the men got away. Thy are believed to be Danville men. as the niachino was headed In this direction. They got no booty. Grenada Was Bought Cheap. Tho island of Grenada, in the British West Indies, was bought by the French from the Carlbs by a solemn treaty in the middle of the seventeenth century, and the price paid was two bottles of rum. Esau's mess of pottage was a good stroke of business by comparison. The Caribs soon regretted having sold their birthright and vainly tried to get the Island back by force. It in now one of England's most prosperous colonies In the West Indies. So Absurd. Youth Ixok here! This horse I hired from you runs on to the pavement every time be sees a motorcar.

To the Editor: For some months past the Ministerial association has noticed the very general prevalence in our city of raffling and gambling schemes. While considering what ought to be done to stop this violation of the law, the association was surprised and chagrined to aee that the Elks lodge composed of many of our representative citizens, had originated a scheme of gambling by which an automobile was to be raffled off at their fair in March and caused also the same to be placed in one of the most public windows on Main street. When we found that thousands of these tickets were being sold at the low price of 10 cents each, thus aggravating this form of vice by bringing it within the reach of the children of our city we felt in duty bound to protest. Accordingly on February 14, 1910, we sent the following communication to the Elks lodge: J. C. Price, the Exalted Ruler of the B. P. O. E. of Richmond: Dear Sir The attention of the Ministerial Association of Richmond has been called to the selling of chances on the automobile to be raffled off at the Elks fair in March. The city attorney and the chief of police both inform us that it is open and clear violation of the statutes of Indiana 2463, 1908. We protest against this as a violation of the law as cited above and respectfully ask that you take steps to stop it immediately. By order of the Ministerial Association. Truman C. Kenworthy. J. F. Radcliffe. Thomas J. Graham. H. G. Deuter. Good Citizenship Committee. After waiting in vain two weeks for a reply we asked for a conference with the officials of the Elks lodge to whom in person we protested and asked them to desist from this open immorality and clear violation of the law. They refused to take any steps to comply with our request. We have acted wholly for the moral welfare of our city and we are making this public so that all our citizens may unite in helping us remove this immoral affair from our midst, and save our commonwealth from the very unenviable reputation we are getting. We have also officially urged the chief of police and the city attorney to stop this clear violation of the law. The text of the laws above cited is: Whoever set up or proposes any money, goods, chattels or thing in action, to be raffled for, or to be distributed by lot. or chance to any person who shall have paid or contracted to pay any valuable consideration for the chance of obtaining such money, goods or things in action, shall, on conviction, be fined not less than ten dollars nor more than one hundred dollars, etc. By order of the Ministerial Association.

This announcement came from the commission Monday after a conference of railroad presidents which had been held earlier. Women Who Suffer. Relief for women who 6uffer from the many forms of distress, pain and irregularities due to the diseased conditions of leucorrhea, or whites, can be found In the following home-made preparation, which is used as sanative wash or douche with syringe: Obtain a 2-ounce package of antiseptic vilane powder, 1 ounce tannic acid and 1 ounce sulphate zinc. Mix all together and use a teaspoonful to a quart of warm water. In very 6hort order the ravages of disease will be checked, the parts assume a healthy and tone and the pain, irregularities and distress will vanish. A sanativo wash of a harmless character like this should be used by every woman who values her health and happiness. Mr. T. O. Trumbo Says: Mr. T. O. Trumbo, Millersburg. Kentucky, writes: "I can safely say I have never found the equal of your Casca-Royal-Pills for constipation, liver and kidney trouble, as I am always bothered with these troubles. I give you permission to publish just my words if you so desire, etc." Evidence comes daily from every section of the country to show that Blackburn's Casca Royal-Pills are the very best remedy in existence for constipation, indigestion, biliousness, headache and such other ills as are due to chronic constipation.

ETIQUETTE IN SIAM.

On Hands and Kneea Before tha King Was Long tha Custom There. Perhaps the most revolutionary reform carried out by the late king of Siam was the abolition of the arbitrary rule of etiquette which forbade an inferior in rank to raise his head above that of a superior or even level with It. The Inferior must not even pass over a bridge while a superior was underneath it. nor must he enter a room in an upper story while a superior was occupying a room beneath It. Servants approached their masters on hands and knees. This custom Is by no means obsolete today in spite of the royal edict, for many of the powerful- nobles who live far a way from the court still enforce it. In 1S74 the king held a large court, at which no one present presumed to appear otherwise than on hands and knees. It was at this audience that the edict forbidding the custom was read to the prostrate multitude. They there and then rose and stood like men in the presence of their sovereign for the first time on record. Since then there has been no prostration at the royal audiences. But If a superior stops to ppeak to an Inferior in the street the latter will still bend or lower his head in some way as a mark of respect. London Saturday Review. Spoiled In the Making. Behold, when a man on a trolley car removed his hat the other day little Willie observed that he was bald yea, very bald, for not a single hirsute rambler trailed ov?r his shining pate. But when it came to whiskers the bald party was right there with the lilacs. He had whiskers in bundles, whiskers iu stacks. In fact, he had enough whiskers to start a rat factory and make a fortune. "Say, mamma," finally remarked Willie, turning to his mother, "just look at that man there." "Hash, dear!" returned mamma. "He will hear you. What's the matter with him?" "Everything is the matter with him," replied the youngster. "When the angels made him they put his head on upside down." Philadelphia Telegraph. His Blurt Critic.

I was locked up in my cabin here by the snow two winters ago, and 1 only had two books to read the whole five months, your book, sir," he said, turning to Mr. Bacheller, "and the Bible, and I read them through several times."

TO KO'raOS CERVERA AND BLACK SMOKE SCHLEY

If the Spanish fleet that had been bottled up in Santiago Harbor had used Pocahontas Coal, the watchful navigator that stood on the bridge of the Brooklyn could not have discovered their approach by the tell-tale moving columns of dense smoke behind the harbor hills, for there would have been no black smoke. Admiral Cervera chose an opportune time for the dash, when Admiral Sampson with the New York and four other ships were away, and the hour, 9:30 Sunday morning, when the American Sailors would be at worship, but the faulty coal disclosed his plans so that the Americans, with Schley in command were in action when he reached the mouth of the harbor.

The United States Government uses Pocahontas Coal on all its ships because it is the highest grade. We buy our Pocahontas from the same mines because they produce the best quality

Heart to Heart Talks.

By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye THE ANSWEH. Here is a wonderful thing. On Jan. 4 the news came from London and from New York that the seismograph had recorded an earthquake somewhere on the globe. On Jan. 5 the newspapers of the world told of an earthquake that shook down the huts of traders and the tents of tribesmen In faroff Turkestan. Science has so bound the world together that a tremor in one part is instantly noted and then reported inside of twenty four hours. Ours is a conscious world. The seismograph is a symbol of that new world sensitiveness which records every tremor of suffering or of pleasure. We feel world emotions. Every shock runs along a thousand nerves from land to land. "No man Uveth to himself." Humanity Is one. And this oneness of humanity must be reckoned with. When the nobility of France refused to recognize the oneness of its blood with that of the starving poor the kinship was answered by the guillotine. When the kinship Is denied there is always the answer, though not always In the shedding of blood. On being asked fo do something to relieve the condition of the poor In his neighborhood a haughty rich man said: "I will do nothing for those cattle." The answer? One of the "cattle" won the rich man's only son and dragged him with her down to tbe depths. The world is kin. Scarlet fever carried away two lovely little girls in a Boston mansion. The cause was traced to a pile of rugs sent from the mansion to a sweatshop to be cleaned. A sweatshop girl had slept on the rugs. Humanity is one. If the avenue refuses to recognize the slums as kin to It tbe poison of the slums will creep up into the avenue. If capital refuses oneness to labor the refusal will be answered by strikes or worse. If the nations lift up hands against nations the answer will be war and corruption. The record of the seismograph which tells of the tremors that shake humanity must be heeded or the answer will come. Twenty-one preachers In Boston and its suburbs have broken down owing to overwork.

If the American ships had not filled their bunkers with Pocahontas Coal the story of tho battle of Santiago might have been different. The Spanish had fleet ships, and that memorable race along the Cuban coast, which resulted in the death of 600 Spanish and the capture of 1,200 more, and the complete destruction of the Spanish Fleet at the cost of one American life, might have been a Spanish success If they had had better coal. The Spanish fleet led the race for fifty miles before they were overtaken by the American ships which were kept at maximum speed by that faultless queen of coals, Pocahontas.
