viewpoint, if not the most valuable. One of the most remarkable was Lady Aberdeen's Eastern crown of pearls and cabochon emeralds, set in gold, and with a flat ornament of diamonds. . - Lady Clementine Waring's tiera was very striking. It Is in the shape of a Marie Stuart cap of Brilliants, with a heart and true lover's knot in diamonds above the point in the cap.
BASEBALL RESULTS
The first Installment of the great scheme for the improvement of the
Tort of lndon is about to be taken in hand. Tho scheme which has been adopted In principle Is for the construction of the South Albert Dock: and it Is for the purpose of this project that the Port of Ixmdon Is now making an Issue of f 10,000.000 stock. The proposed new dock, the cost of uhlch Ib estimated at nearly $22,000.000 will be designed to accommodate tho largest ships afloat or projected. The entrance lock will have a maximum length of 1.000 feet, u width of 110 feet, and a depth of water over tho alll of 4S feet. The entrance will 1 be 850 feet long, but will he capable of being- eat ended by a caisson. The water area of the dock will be 63 acres affording a quayage of 9.200 lineal feet with n depth of 44 Va feet. There will be a new dry dock 1.000 feet long, .110 feet wide, and 38 feet deep on the blocks corresponding practically in accommodation to the entrance lock. It Is expected that the accommodation In this dock will rapidJy be taken up as one-third of that provided was actually being negotiated for by a great shipping line at tho time th Improvement nchetno was published.
American visitors coming to London this summer must not be too surprised If they discover that Londoners liave taken to wearing their hair a la Uuffalo Kill. If we do adopt the long flowing locks
beloved bv the American chief of
scout h. It will not be from mere choice, but simply because our tonsorlal artists, for this high sounding American namo for a harbor has found favor with the wloldera of razors and scissors here, have refused to trim our half. Americans should not make fun of us If this calamity should happen for they are to blame In the first place. M'tiy did some darned .Yankee invent the safety razor? And whly'iIIThe af
terwards advertise it bo well that we
row nearly all use it? lllnc Illae lacrlmae! Our barbers have long been grumbling and now they are about to form an organization that will make things uncomfortable for self-shavers generally. If the correspondence In the "Hairdressers' Weekly Journal" faithfully reflects the views of the barbers the man who shaves himself Is certainly Ixtoked for troublous times. For the cry on one powerful section of the halr-
dresslng fraternity Is. "No shave, no
hair-cut!" which means that If you shave yourself the barber may either refuse to trim your hair or may charge you double or treble the ordinary tariff. "Within the last few years," said my Fleet Street tonsorlallst to me this morning, as I sat in his chair to have my hair trimmed, "the safety razor has robbed me of nearly half of my best customers. I will not say the operation Is as satisfactory as if the barber had performed it. Yet they are enabled to shave, with a minimum of danger, after a fashion and now they o In only once every six weeks or so for a hair-cut and a shampoo and expect as much attention as before. And they get It I don't think! In the future they will have to come or their shaves regularly or we will make London look as If it were inhabited by wild men from Borneo."
The most wonderful show of Jewels ver sct n in London has just been held In a Bond street jewelry store to hlcu nearly all the peeresses of England sent their coronation tieras and other Jewels for exhibition the proceeds of which are to be devoted to charity. Of a'tl these tieras. most of which had lteen paid for with American dollars, that belonging to the Duchess of Westminister a very high crown with immense brilliant drops was probably 1 th joct beautiful from an artistic

The annual meeting of post C will be held next Saturday night. April 29th. At this meeting, which closes the fiscal year of the local T. P. A.'s affairs, the officers will make their annual reports to the members of the organization. The newly elected officers will be installed at this meeting and will be placed in charge of the post for the ensuing year. The retiring officers are
iW. II. Quigg, president; I. N. Worth. ; vice president; J. JL Iewis. Marion Shreeve and T. C. Harrington, directj ors. The annual meetings of post C . are largely attended by the members

ious nature be disclosed. The power of the press is great and every T. P. A. has brains enough to know it. The power of the press-chairman ia greater and tlie very fellows who have at times been riotous in talk have since come to eat out of the hand of the press committee. Many tales have been told that sounded like mere jokes but In every instance the truth has been given perhaps with a little sugar or chocolate coating to sooth the T. P. A.-member who happened to be beating up his family or stuffing his order book. If there has been any misrepresentation of any member it has been unintentional because no T. P. A. press chairman ever misrepresents. The retiring chairman quits his job with the best of feeling for every one and only regrets that he is forced to relinquish his valued position. The insurgents, those uon whose toes the press has tread, have been successful in their fight and have placed him in an office where he can no longer tell his little story.

With this issue of the Palladium the present press chairman of post C
will lay down his shovel and his hoe'
and become a ieaceful citizen. His
J implements of warfare will be taken up by a man skilled in the task of i handling T. P. A.'s affairs in general ; and the news column in particular.
He has served in a like capacity as press chairman of pest C and will enter upon his duties thoroughly acquainted with the trials and pleasures of the office. Mr. W. H. Quigg during the coming year will act as press chairman, and anyone wishing his name to apjear in printers' ink can do so by calling on the genial chairman. Mr. Quigg, though being a very busy man as general manager of the
j Richmond Baking Co., has found time to give to T. P. A.'s very valued aid I and assistance. His administration of
the organization during the past two years has been the most successful in the history of the local association. Besides being an active T. P. A. he is likewise an active member of the Commercial club and is one of the club's directors. So with the acquisition of so valued a man as Mr. Quigg to the office of press chairman, the members of the T. P. A. and their numerous friends who read T. P. A. news will find the column in the Sunday Palladium more interesting from every viewpoint.

FOUNTAIN CITY WON
County High School Track Meet on Reid Field.
Fountain City won the track meet of the township high schools of Wayne county Saturday afternoon on Reid Field at Earlhani college. The "dope sheet" before the meet did not show that Fountain City had been picked as the winner, but her athletes succeeded in gaining forty points, mostly on center field events. Greensfork high school was awarded second place in the meet. It looked for a time as if the Greensfork athletes had the lead, and it was only by the hardest work that Fountain City succeeded in forcing ahead, and then only by two points, as Greensfork checked up at thirty-eight at the finish. Centerville was given third place with thirty points to her credit. The work of this school on the track was the feature of the afternoon. Her runners showed the best form and succeeded in winning the distance events with ease. Centerville also captured the pole vault, with an exhibition of skillful vaulting that showed good training. The weather was cold, and the wind made it hard for the runners in some of the events and high jumps, but the meet was satisfactory from most standpoints and proved a source of entertainment for the Earlham student body.
Harvey Card, better known as "Rockie" due to his oily proclivities, is in the city visiting his family and friends. He is located in the Southern states in the interest of the Chas. Moore Oil company of Cincinnati.
Resolutions of Respect. 'Whereas: It has pleased a Divine Providence to remove from among us our faithful co-workers, Liary Boener and Wilburn llodgin. We the members of the Methodist Episcopal Church and Sunday School of Chester offer the following resolutions: First. Resolved: That we shall ever hold in grateful remembrance their lives which by their fidelity to the highest Christian ideals, have been fit examples to all, their cheerful presence among us, their faithful performance of duty, their patience and courage, which have endeared them to all and prove that the life most worth while is that grounded in the great principles of the Christian faith. Second, Resolved: , That we extend our sincere sympathy to the bereaved friends, knowing that they must find
j comfort in the thought that death for
these was but the beginning of a higher life.
Jim Lewis has purchased a new vacuum cleaner andhas started in to try out its qualities on "Shorty" Shreeves' carpets and rugs. The new cleaner is one that Jim sells for his hardware house and says if it cleans up things around "Shorties" he can honestly recommend it to his customers.
No doubt that there are many T. P. A.'s who will be pleased to hear of the retirement of the present press chairman. There has been times when the very life of the staff correspondent has been threatened because he dared to tell the truth regarding the habits and "doings" in general of many members. In fact, personal harm has been avoided because these same members were in constant fear less perhaps something of a more ser-
TO DECIDE WEDNESDAY
Definite decision will be reached Wednesday in all probability, relative to the difficulty encountered with the Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern Traction company complying with the original specifications for the improvement of the National Road from West Fifth street to the Center-Wayne township boundary line. An all afternoon session was held Saturday with the commissioners by a representative of the company, and much was said, but little accomplished. At the conclusion of the meeting, it was decided that another meeting should be held on Wednesday when the matter again will be aired. Contractor Cronin has served notice on the county commissioners that the original terms of the contract are to be complied with and no modifications made at this late hour.

POORHQUSE FACES FREEDSMUGGLER Opium Trader Who Fooled Detectives for Years, Released at Age of 73. Spokane, April 21. Broken in body and spirit by confinement in the federal prison at McNeil's island. Wash., where he served four terms. Lawrence ( Larry Kelly, declared by custom officers to be the shrewdest and most daring opium smuggler they have encountered on Piiget sound during the la-st three decades, was turned adrift a few days ago. He is seventy-three, his strength is wasted, his nerve is gone and he is without a dollar. Unless former accomplices come to his aid with part of the fortune he made for them at the risk of his life and frrodoni. it is likely the veteran will pass the rest of his days in a poorhouse. Kelly's smuggling days are over. He
is a broken down sailor. He is today under the surveillance of customs officials and will be followed by them to the grave. He never confessed or implicated others and he had the reputation of being "square" with those who profited by his traffic, though he had opportunities to fleece them whenever he brought a sloop load of contraband goods into the country. Smuggling always appealed to Kelly as a game of chance, to be indulged in only for the excitement and the satisfaction of eluding the officers. He did not sail under the black flag for the profit and it is known that he never fired a shot or harmed any one. He was qualified for master's papers and could have commanded any craft engaged in regular traffic, but the sea was too tame for him. He would rather lounge in his little sloop, scheming to outwit the customs men by finding loopholes In their carefully drawn picket line. . He Always Worked Atone. Kelly was successful in many of his adventures between the Canadian shores and the mainland in Washington and Oregon, and it is believed he smuggled several hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of contraband goods, including opium, into the United States during the last fifteen years. He always worked alone, and, although he deserted when arrested the last time, he would give not the least inkling as to who financed the expeditions or who assisted him. He said little at the trial and was convicted, following a brief hearing, and sentenced to serve two years. Kelly was born in New York of a family of sailors. He drifted about the world until about fifteen years ago, when he reached Puget Sound. For a while he worked on sailing vessels and then purchased a small sloop. He loafed and fished. Opium
began pouring into the country from over the British" Columbia border and for months the customs Inspectors searched the country in an effort to trace the smuggler. Finally one overheard a conversation between two prosperous business men at Olympia, the capital of Washington. "The price has gone up." said one. "How much did you put in?" "Oh, a couple of hundred. When does he get in with it?" That was the clew. The inspector camped along the sound, played fantan with the Chinese and poker with busines men. One day he marked a cross on a map indicating a point half way between Point Defiance and Olympia. "In ten days,, at noon, we'll take Larry Kelly at this place," he said quietly to his fellow officer, "and he will not have time to throw the dope overboard." Caught With the Goods. At 11:53 o'clock on the morning ten days later they darted from the shore in a launch and overhauley Kelly as he died along in his sloop. Five hundred pounds of opium were found in
I the .hold. j "Are you going to fight it, Kelly?" J they asked. I "No, what's the use? You've got me
at last." he replied, "but I kept you
I guessing for a w hile." I
That was the Srst time Kelly was arrested. He served two years at McNeil's island. The second time he escaped on the way to the prison by jumping through a window of a passenger while being taken from Sumas to Tacoma, The next time he "jumped" his bond of f TOO, and returned to the profitable but dangerous game. Kelly has served seven years in th McNeil's island and other prisons for smuggling. It cost the federal government several thousand dollars to apprehend him each time and each capture has been but a new lesson to Kelly in evading the customs officers. Since the United States placed the ban on the importation of opium into this country the price has increased to $50 a pound, and is advancing steadily in the sound country. The officers stationed on the boundary say that hundreds of pounds are being smuggled into Washington every month and sent from this state to other points in the northwest. The customs officers say that acetaniline. a coal tar product, which, in a measure, takes the. place of opium for smoking also is being smuggled into the country. It is put up in ounce packages and is so light that large quantities may be carried about th person or be secreted easily.
