AGED SEXTOfI HAS A UHIQUE : RECORD Hawkins Clear Has Laid to Rest More People Than Now Living in Eaton. (Palladium Special) Eaton, O., Juno 16. To hare laid away In their wlndowless palaces of rest more persons than are now residents of Katon Is the unusual distinction of Hawkins Clear, 63, who for 41 years has been an assistant sexton of Mound Hill cemetery. And each day, so long as he Is able to turn a clod, Mr. Clear will with tender hands perform the last sad offices possible for those who have crossed the great divide. Of a quiet, unassuming disposition, Mr. Clear is an unique persona Re and an Interesting chnracter. Ills greatest assets are his unswerving devotion to duty and his remakable memory. Of the latter it might be said that in his little storehouse of knowledge there is the only complete record of the more than 7,600 persons who have been laid , to rest in Eaton's cemotery. Thero are no penned or prlnfed records of more than two-thirds of the burials there, yet this man can without hesitation

lead the Inquirer to any grave within

the 30-ncre burial ground. Numerous suggestions huve been made relative to the proper platting of the grounds and recording of burials, using Mr. Clear's true knowledge of the place as ' an accurate guide, but the work has never been done. With each successive board of township trustees come the suggestion that such n record ought to bo made, but as readily the plan Is dropped. The concensus of opinion Is that the work will be deferred until everlastingly too late, for with the passing of this venerable gentleman the knowlcdgo of the ground will bo lost. A Burial in 1812. According to Mr. Clear the first recognized burial within Mound Hill cemetery was that of an infant Ockerman in 1812, although he says the child of some unknown west bound pioneers wn buried In a prominent corner of the place a couple of years prior to that time. All told, the number burled there will exceed 7,500, or about twice as many as now live in , Eaton. There are 307 soldiers resting beneath its sod, the first of whom was a man named Ashinger, who died at the very inception of the civil war In 1861. Mr. Clear served as an assistant to Sexton Jacob nrlngman, now dead, for 22 years. That gentleman suicided 23 years ago, after a service of more than a quarter ot a century as sexton. For natural beauty Mound Hill cemetery is prohnbly exceeded by none in this section of country. Its ylvan shaded avenues and gently undulating bosom, flower bedecked, vine clad and moss covered, lend a charm to the somberncss of the tomb and exultantly proclaim the rest of transition and hope of immortality. And its stately monuments tell, as do all others, though of different dates, when the mystery of birth took place and the mystery of death began.

WOMAN HAD SYSTEM AUTO SPOILS PLAN

Columbus, Ind., June 16. Trust a woman to find a way out of difficulties. At least Mrs. Will Ditmars, wife of a prominent Franklin man, did, and iit was not her fault that she arrived here too late to attend a wedding. Mr. and Mrs. Dltmers and family started in their automobile to attend the wedding of Graham Ong and Miss Mary Wilson at Columbus. They were going along at good speed when something went wrong with the automobile. Mrs. Ditmars knew that unless good progress was made she would not have time at Columbus to change from her traveling suit, to the gown she Inteded wearing at the wedding. Mrs. Ditmars was equal to the occasion. She went to a barn a short distance away, carrying a suit case with her., A lone man who was throwing down hay was routed out, and the woman changed the barn into a boudoir In short order. A second automobile was obtained and the party arrived here just after the wedding was over.

COMPLIMENT PAID TO PIANO COMPANY

In the last issue of the Piano Magazine, which is devoted exclusively to musical matters, high- compliment is paid to the Starr Piano company, the article in part being as follows: "The example of the Starr Piano Co. in donating the first supply of music rolls sets an example worthy of emulation, as it is equally certain to be followed elsewhere. The Messrs. Oennett. father and three sons, who control the Starr Piano Co. are of the enterprising class of citizens by whoso intelligently directed public spirit the American cities move ahead In the higher things of life. The same class of enterprise exists in other cities, and In that fact lies the assurance of the continual spread of good music and of the facilities by which the peo, plo may enjoy It."

"Jim Crow" cars are being run over the C. & O. of Indiana railway. This innovation in northern railroading, though the restrictions governing the use of certain cars by white people, and other coaches by negroes, are not provided In any orders from offi

cials of the line, is creating quite a

little stir along the line, which some day promises to be the heaviest traveled route between Cincinnati and Chicago. Neither is it the regular custom for all passenger trains on the Indiana line to have "Jim Crow" coaches, but the fact remains that on several occasions trains with these coaches attached have been run over the line, for at least a part of the way. The cars belong to the equipment of the C. & O. system proper. South of the Ohio river the laws of practically all the states compel negroes to be segregated from the whites in their travel. Whether purposely or more through accident some of these coaches with "Jim Crow" apartments were transferred to tho Indiana branch line is not known. The laws of Indiana admit the equality of the negro and the white in travel and that they be segregated is an impossible demand. Much is accomplished in this regard though by the signs over the entrance doors, "For Whites Only" and "For Negroes only." Officials of the company here state there have been no orders compelling the trainmen to see that the races are separated when the coaches with "Jim Crow" apartments are attached to the train. Some of the railroaders say they believe it would be a popular move and no different in its intent than the custom in some of the local play houses to seat negroes and whites apart from each other.

Washington, June 16. Representative Martin Dies, of Texas, apparently lost all interest in congressional affairs about six weeks ago, and has not been seen in the house or his office since. Recently his colleagues began

to worry. The postmaster of the bouse, the disbursing officer and all the other officers who usually keep congressmen's addresses had no clow to his whereabouts. His mail and pay

checks were sent to his office, and after accumulating for some time were usually removed. A careful search of the capitol uncovered one friend of the missing man who knew all about the strange disappearance. This is his story: About the middle of April the congressman married his secretary, Miss Genevieve Miller, of this city. The marriage was not heralded. It took place in some quiet spot near Washington. Coincident with the nuptials Mr. Dies suffered a stroke of ennui, and decided to quit public life and left Washington immediately. He rented a bungalow at Mt. Ranier. a hamlet on the city's outskirt, and has not been in town since. Once a week he sends in for his mail. Mrs. Dies continues to draw Miss Miller's salary as his secretary. Between them they handle the correspondence in their bungalow. Mr. Dies told a friend recently he was tired of public life and did not intend to run for re-election to congress. This is his second term. He had been district attorney and judge in Texas. His father-in-law is a messenger in the house postoffice. It developed that old man Miller, as he is known, is the messenger who forwards the mail and the pay checks to Mt. Ranier.

BLOWS OUT BRAINS WITH HIS SHOTGUn E. H. Leistner; Farmer Near Centerville, Was Despon-. dent Over Ill-health.

tPalladium Special) Centerville, Ind.. June 16. E. H. Leistner, aged 55, a farmer living south of here near Falmouth, suicided yesterday afternoon about 5 o'clock in the cellar of his home by blowing out his brains with a shotgun. The report of the gun brought members of the family rushing to the cellar where his dead body was found. Despondency because of 111 health, with which he had been afflicted for the past several years, is believed to have been the cause for his deed. Leistner had been exceptionally despondent and melancholy of late and several times previous to his suicide had arranged to take his life but was prevented from carrying out his purpose by the family. Leistner is survived by his wife and two children. The funeral will probably be held tomorrow at the home. Burial will be in the Abington cemetery.
