CALLIIIAU RAVIUG III HISJAIL CELL Mysterious Inmate of Prison Foiled in Attempt to Hang Himself. Praying to the turnkey to give htm something to kill himself with, and attempting again last night to end hia life, this time by hanging, the man confined at the county jail wbo jumped off a train near here, still raves madly. Wednesday night he tried to cut his throat. Hia Identity still remains a pusile. This morning he confided in Dr. Marvel, while the latter was dressing

the wound in bis throat, that he was Joseph C. Bush of Salem, ().. and that the name of his wife was Eunice. Chief of. Police Gormon has communicated with these people, to try to find out Jf the story of the insane mun is true. Last night before retiring he tore a trip of his blanket and wound it around his leg, beneath hi trousers. The Improvised noose was discovered by Sheriff Steen. Two large and dangerous pins were also found inside his shirt. He would have tried to cut his throat with them, It Is believed. Denies Fancied Crime. He seems to think he is being held for the murder of his father, and continually states that they have the wrong man. and that he Is innocent of the charge which is keeping him in the jail. He states that his father died of consumption six years ago. ai d that although he nursed him, he had nothing to do with hia death. He approached turnkey Rice Miller this morning and In a confidential tone, atated that if Miller would only secure something for him to kill himself with he would tell the secret, o' his life. When the turnkey refused he grew quite violent. Physicians state that they cannot fathom the cause of the man's strange behavior. He grew quiet yesterday evening, but later on, before bed time, he began to howl and kept it up half of the night. He will talk lucidly about everything but himself and his family. In his effects at the city building were found a large number of letters, addressed to C. L. Callihan. at different points In the middle we, most of them showing that he acted as traveling salesman for various companies. II has several pictures, ono of them which shows his face and form quite plainly. It la a family group. Part of it la torn off, but enough remains to enow four children. The picture waa taken some time ago. Chief of Police XJormon who has been In communication with the Big Four Railroad officials at Cincinnati found out that a man by the name' of Callihan waa employed at Cincinnati for some time as a painter in the railroad.

BRILLIANT RECITAL BY J. LOUIS SHEKK

FLAT FOR RENT Inquire Bee Hive Grocery. 7-2t

BY E8THER GRIFFIN WHITE. J. Louis Shenk. baritone, gave a brilliant recital last evening in Llndley Hall, Earlham, before a large and representative audience, both the auditorium and balcony being filled, Mr. Shenk's reception being of the most appreciative character, the applause at the close of each number being overwhelming. The art of the lleder singer is one little known or understood in this

country, although within the past two or three years through the medium of several of the great German masters of this phase of musical art who have toured the United States, among them Wullner and Heinemann, there is now a wider and more Intelligent comprehension of its character and ideal. Mr. Shenk is one of the very few American exponents of the lieder and

that he is one of the first was demonstrated last evening, the advance in interpretation over that of his previ

ous appearance nere Deing marxea,

and as musicianly as it was gripping in catholic appeal. Mr. Shenk is the possessor of an unusual combination of gifts, peculiarly adaptive to the lieder, for it is not the quality or scope of voice which is the dominant characteristic of this form of singing. Mr. Shenk has the vocal accomplishment, but also that rarer and more subtle attribute of poetic comprehension of a composer's meaning and inspiration, and an ability to give it a scholarly and spiritual, as well as a musical interpretation. In addition there is a necessarily

dramatic accompaniment to the pies- j

words and tone in which is embodied the pain of tbe world, the great tragic cry of the soul, the expression of the baffled human entity. Mr. Shenk's humour, too, is persua

sive as In Burns s "Willie Brewea a Peck o Maut," nd Ruth McEnery Stuart's "My Rose," both of which were given with an appreciation of their differing spirit the broad Scotch humour of Burns and the delicate wit

of the American writer. It was heard, also, in fine effect in the more sardonic and suggestive "The Disappointed Serenader," by Brahms, the translation being by Mr. Shenk himself. In nothing was Mr. Shenk's art more discriminating than in the presentation of "In the Woods" whose sentiment is wholly an Inspiration from Nature and outside human passion, the singer painting a charming picture of natural beauty and of "In Autumn," whose motif was the passing of love symbolized by the fading of the year. The sentiment of the former was admirably juxtaposed to the senti

mentality of the latter. No more interesting composition than "The Pilgrim." translated from Tolstoi, was included on the program, nor one more intellectually presented, since it is an expression of that philosophy which was the passion of the

great Russian's later years "Would I might clasp the whole creation, Lovers or strangers, foes, or brothers, With fervent rapture, to my heart." "Edward," heard by the local public in the singer's former appearance

STRIKE IN GERMANY. BERLIN, March 7. The allied miners of Germany have voted to strike next week. The strike will be inaugurated by calling out all the miners in Westphalia, where the largest collieries are located.

of the parts which went to make that whole of wonderful charm which

distinguished his performarce of last j

evening. Mr. Shenk, in short, presents a complete picture, perfect, in values, balanced in composition, harmonious in color, vibrating in atmosphere, with exquisite nuances of tone and delicately vanished perspective. His musical art might, indeed, be compared to those opalescent paintings of Leon Dabo which have delighted :v discriminating public of the past few years. Technically the layman finds no flaw

in Mr. Shenk's presentations, the tonal ,

ings, was given with verve and swing. Mr. Shenk reached the climax of his direct appeal, however, in "I Hear You Calling Me," with its sentiment covering the gamut of human emotions, the accompaniment to which is of such colorful charm. The accompaniments throughout cannot be too much eulogized, Mr. Archie A. Mumma being, also, a master of this difficult art, Mr. Mumma's own composition "Hymn," set to words by Edgar Allen Poe, being one of the most distinguished of Mr. Shenk's achievements of last evening. The recital was, altogether, one

richness of his lower register lending i which should have been missed by no

itself admirably to musical expression,

and he is master of the "half-voice so fine and poignant in its musical and human appeal. All this was heard and seen for this singer's art Is visualized as well as vocalized in the first number on last evening's program, Schubert's "The Wanderer," that combination of

sense, for it combined so many phases that its appreciation could not be otherwise than universal, but which would have loBt In effect or appeal, had the medium through which it was filtered been less perfect and human. Mr. Shenk was recalled after each number.

RICHMOND TEAM IS GIVEN THE TITLE

Students of the Shelbyville high school are "sore" because the board of control of the Indiana High School Athletic association gave the title of Sixth District basketball champions to the Richmond school. Tbe members of the Shelbyville team as well as their coach, Prof. Dorsey Jones, feel that a big mistake has been made and in all probability the board will be asked to reconsider their decision in the matter. Shelbyville claims the highest percentage of any team in the district, having played six games and won Ave. Richmond defeated the Shelbyville team In a game here on tbe Y. M. C. A. floor. Shelbyville also defeated Richmond on the former's floor. Richmond plsyed seven games and suffered two defeats. It is not likely that the board of control will change Its decision.

"BIG LIZ" PRIDE OF THE DIVISION Local trainmen and others are taking a great deal of Interest in inspect-

ling "Big Liz," the first of a number

of new freight engines recently purchased by the Pennsylvania lines for use on the Richmond division. "Big Liz" made her first trip through this city Tuesday. It Is the largest engine in commission on the local division at the present time and is capable of doing the work or any two engines. Seven other engines of the same type have ben ordered and are expected to arrive within a few days. Their use will eliminate the necessity of having double-headers on the majority of the heavy freight trains on this division.

GUARANTEE GIVEN

FOR THE SOFTENER

A clause, providing (hat all parts of the Fetta Water Softener, proving defective in either workmanship or material within two years shall be replaced at the expense of the Fetta company was written into the contract between the city and the Fetta company this morning. Mr. Fetta stated that this would be entirely satisfactory to the company as it guaranteed its machines, and as the board wanted the city to be protected in case the water softener failed in any part, the provision was made with the consent of both principals. Fetta has signed a bond for construction, and as soon as the weather will permit, the construction of the foundation for the plant will begin, and then the plant proper will be built and installed for active operation.

London's Crystal Palaoe. The Crystsl palace was a great producer of superlatives in Its ehrly days, says the London Chronicle. When Queen Victoria wrote of May day. 1851, as "the greatest day in our history, tbe most beautiful and imposing and touching spectacle ever seen." she was referring to tbe whole Idea and effect of the exhibition, but "the beauty of tbe building and the vnstness of It all" were important factors in the marvel which she relied upon to astound her uncle Leopold. When tbe palace moved to the new site Herbert Spencer wrote: "I have been once at Sydenham. It surpasses even my expectations, though I bad "eon It In progress. It in a fairyland and a wonder surpassing all others." Ruskln said that Mr. Dickens has said that there was nothing like it In fairyland and added bitterly that Mr. Dickens wss right

London's First Directory. Row did the world do its business before the publication of directories? The huge directory of London had a first printed forerunner in a slim little volume, "A Collection of the Names of the Merchants Living In and Around the City of London." issued by Samuel Lee of Lombard street in 1677. It was tbe outcome most probably of the enterprise of Henry Robinson, a well known writer on commercial matters, wbo in 1650 opened an office in Threadneedle street, where were kept "particular registers of all manner of addresses" for tbe use of all who cared to pay a sixpence.
