RICHMOND WINS GAME Defeats Oakland in the State Championship Contest. (Palladium Special) INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., March 9. The first contest of the Richmond High School team in its quest for the state basketball championship, played this morning with Oakland, a Marion county team at the Y. M. C. A., here this morning resulted in a victory for the Wayne county lads, champions of the Sixth district. The score was 31 to 14. This afternoon at 4:30 o'clock Richmond will play either Clinton or Franklin. So far Richmond's chances of carrying off the laurels of the state championship are exceedingly bright. The large number of roosers which accompanied the high school team to this city from Richmond were very much in evidence at the contest. Between sixty and eighty Richmondites attended this morning's game and it is expected that by the time for the afternoon contest to be called the number will be swelled to 100. In the first half of this morning's contest the Richmond coach put in the "subs." . This half ended 9 to 7 in favor of Oakland and for a short time things looked dark for Richmond. But the regular team was then sent in and "cleaned" the floor. GOTCH VS. ROMANOFF (National News Association) CHICAGO. March 9.

A RECEPTION TENDERED TO TWO WOMEN AT INFIRMARY WHO ARE CENTENARIANS

"Give me my pipe, I want my picture taken with it in my mouth," said "Granny" Elizabeth Taylor this mora; ing, when a photographer approached her at the county poor farm and asked her to pose for her picture on her one hundredth birthday. She put the pipe in her mouth, and sat up straight while several pictures were taken. Mary Jane Garges, estimated to be 116 years old, also celebrated her "birthday;" but no one really knows the date of her birth. Toothless, almost deaf, but with her other faculties well preserved. "Gran ny" Taylor, who was born March 9, 1812, later sat in a little chair in her room at the infirmary, and placing the pipe in her mouth contentedly puffed away while exchanging reminiscences with I. A. Gonnon, who she knew as a boy. Her remarkable memory is evidenced by her remembering an event which Mr. Gormon had forgotten, and which occurred over fortyfive years ago. She laughed and talked and told jokes, although talking with her is a slow process owing to her difficulty in hearing. Her face is thin, but her eyes are bright. Her hair is white as snow. The small frame is sturdy, however. and with the aid of a little cain, the old lady walks around and up and down the stairs with more agility than many of the inmates of the infirmary who are half her age. Her eyesight is good and she reads nearly all the time from her Bible. It is of ordinary print and she has no trouble in reading it, having had her "second eyesight," as she puts it, some years ago. When the visitors were admitted, "Granny," as she is affectionately called by the other inmates of the institution and by the attendants was eating her dinner. She drinks her coffee black, eats no butter, but of plain wholesome fare she eats unsparingly. She did not know Chief Gormon at first, . but when he had spoke, she grasped bis hand and smiled, greatly pleased at the visit of "one of her boys" as she called him. For half an hour she talked of old times, telling

When you see how fully pre" pared we are, you will appreciate the fact.

The Weather Bureau predicts an early spring you can't afford to go around in winter garments. It's just as easy to be. ready as not. Our stocks are as complete as are those of the largest of city shops No one ever leaves our store saying, You nave nothing I care lor." Any color! any style! any' weave! any design!

of things which happened forty and fifty years ago as if they "had been events of yesterday. Her wit is exceeded only by her age. and she and the police chief engaged in a verbal tilt for some time, at one time be reminding her of an occurrence for which she slapped his face resoundingly. Then she leaned back in her chair and laughed loudly. Granny was much pleased when told her picture was to be taken. She put on her little lace headdress, and grasping her cane, walked out into the hall to the south

window, where she posed for the great event. She was greatly interest ed in the camera and inspected it minutely, asking sage questions, and being perfectly satisfied when told that she could have a picture by Monday. Granny does not give the inmates or attendantsy of the infirmary an trouble. On the contrary she is one of the best behaved inmates of the infirmary, stated Mr. Brumfield, superintendent. She is continually in good humor, always joking and laughing and keeps the rest of the inmates in good spirits. She is content to smoke and read her Bible. She smokes an old clay iipe, and consumes a large sack of cigar clippings, the strongest kind of tobacco each week, oftentimes getting up two and three times in the night to smoke. She says she hopes to be able to smoke till she dies, for that and her Bible are about all tho satisfaction she has left in life. Another strange figure at the county jail is the "wild woman." whose name is Mary Jane Garges, believed to be at least 116 years old. She was an infirmary inmate when it was located at Hagerstown, prior to 1844. She had been at the Hagerstown forty years and was thought to have been about 68 years old when taken to the Centerville institution. She cannot talk, but mumbles to herself, and since her incarceration a the Centerville infirmary has kept in her possession, day and night, a pair Wa ym

wwin .rca

of small bones which she continually

rubs together and plays with. She is a strange figure. She does not appear to be over sixty years of age, has abort gray hair, excellent eyesight, and can run like a deer. Sho walks with quick short steps, and is very active In her movements. Any attempt to take the small bones away from her Vould re sult in a-fight, for she guards them with ininite care. She has escaped from the institution several times. Her picture waa taken today, and it was necessary to wait for ten minutes be fore she would stand right for the camera to catch her. Her vitality is puxsling to physicians. She la probably the oldest woman in the state.
