0 At Meeting Saturday, Fair Workers Report Their Campaign a Success. At a meeing held In the lecture room of the Morrisson-Reeves library on Saturday afternoon, at which time the committees from the different wardB appointed at a previous meeting held by the women of this city on behalf of Miss Hill's election to the school board, sentiment was declared to be found overwhelmingly in Miss Hill's favor. Representatives from the different wards were present and made detailed reports of their canvass of the situation since the meeting held ten days previous. " The chairman of the Sixth ward reverted a thorough canvass of the voters of that ward, stating that the sentiment was universally for Miss Hill. The chairman of the Fifth ward, who was unable to be present, stated ever. the telephone that the councilman from that ward had declared his intention of voting for Miss Hill. In Fourth Ward. . The chairman appointed in the Fourth ward stated that both men and vomen were in favor of the appoint ment of Miss Hill. ' From the Seventh ward came the report of prevailing sentiment for the election of Miss Hill with the statement, which had previously appeared in the Palladium, that Mr. Peacock would not permit his name to be used in nomination at the meeting of Council this evening. The chairmen of the committees In all the other wards Stated that they "ad made thorough inquiries and could find no opposition to Miss Hill but that both the voters and the women were in favor of her appointment. Many women reported conversations with councilmen and all stated they bad been treated, with one exception, with the utmost courtesy by the councilmen, the majority of whom had expressed '.'aemselves as in favor of Miss Hill's election. The point made with the greatest frequency was that all the men spoken to were unanimous in the statement that Miss Hill's business qualifications v. ere paramount. That from this standpoint alone her appointment was desirable. , Nusbaum Commended. Mr. Nusbaum's statement to the effect that he had not opposed a woman on the school board, made in this paer on Saturday, was brought up and highly commended. The fact that it was the women of the city, and not one or two organizations which had interested themselves in the election of Miss Hill, was referred to since the matter was brought up with some frequency during the canoes of the different wards. The impression that it was the Franchise League or the Collegiate Hill's appointment exclusively, or that it was under their auspices that the natter was being presented, had been dispelled, stated the various chairmen. That neither of these organizations was taking up the matter officially had been pointed out, and the fact that most of the women who were on the eemmittees and actively interesting themselves in ascertaining the sentiment were not members of either club, was emphasized. Also that the chairman of one committee was a pronounced anti-suffragist. t The confusion that seemed to exist, it was generally stated, relative to this, had been straightened out and the point that this was a movement by all the women of Richmond made clear. The members of the ward committee urged all the women of the city interested to attend the council meeting this evening. As the meeting begins at half past seven It is necessary to be there before that time if the pro'ceedlngs are followed. Lena Brown's S. S. Class will give a lawn fete at 901 Hunt street tomorrow evening. Everybody invited. It COLONEL GREETED WOMEN DELEGATES (National News Association) CHICAGO, June 17.

"I am gladto see you, ladies. I am strong for women's suffrage and it is a pleasure to see such progress." The women appeared to be greatly delighted. ' : : ,, -

Tibbetts and Catcart formed the battery for Easthaven and Rithmeyer and Geier did the battery work for the Railroaders. Building a Poem. "Any man on earth can be a poet If he tries," said a speaker at a bankers' banquet, "and there never was a better evidence than when the provost of Dundee died. It seems that the provost had been a fine man. His four deputies mourned him greatly, and after the funeral they all got together and decided that they should write him an epitaph. "It was a hard matter to decide Just how four men could write an epitaph, but it was finally settled by the agreement that the Inscription should be a verse of four lines, each mas. to write a line. And so they started. The first man wrote his line. The second man scratched his head and then added his line to the first The third man thought long, but finally got his inspiration and put down his line. Then the fourth, after much deliberation, made the final rime, and the epitaph ran something like this: " 'Here lies the provost of Dundee, Here lies him. her lies he. Hallelujah, hallelujee, 5T A-B-C-D-E-F-G!' Chicago Tribune. Spelling Shakespeare's Name. E. n. Sothern in an article In a magazine' on the Bacon-Shakespeare controversy gives the Baconians a sound drubbing. Because Shakespeare spelled his name in various ways the Baconians have been pleased to refer to him as a "barbarian." Here Is what Mr. Sothern says on the subject of the spelling of the name: - "This Is one assertion that is not denied. It is also true that Sir Walter Raleigh, admittedly one of the most cultured men of the time, spelled his name 'Rauley,' 'Rauleigh, 'Raleghe' and Ralegh. Sir Philip Sidney frequently signed himself 'Sydney,' while Spenser often wrote 'Spencer.' Take any of Shakespeare's contemporaries, and we find the same thing. Marlowe's name occurs in ten different spellings, Throckmorton's in sixteen, Gaseoigne's in nineteen, Percy's In twenty-seven, while Ben Jonson wrote his in almost every imaginable form.".

AN OLD WOMAN IS

A Mrs. Mary Kelly Killed at Jeffersonville Grandson Is Missing. (Xation&l News Association) JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind., June 17. Mrs. Mary Louise Kelly, aged 78, widof of Valentine Kelly, was brutally murdered in her home on the river road, four miles west of this city between 4 and 6 o'clock Sunday afterI'oon, but the crime did not become known until this morning. Robbery was apparently the motive of the crime, which seems to have been committed by some one who knew her habits, as a door where she kept her money was broken open. The body was found at midnight, covered with bedclothes, on her bed, by Edward Kelly, a son who had been about the house earlier in the evening. The body is bruised in many places The fact is terribly scratched and knife wounds were found at the base of the neck and on the shoulder, but the coroner says that death was probebly due from the shock. Mrs. Kelly was a stout, healthy woman and apparently surprised the robber and put up a fight. Her waist and skirt, stained with blood, had been taken from her body and placed on a chair. Besides the son their lived with Mrs. Kelly her grandson, George Kelly, aged 18, whom she reared. He was seen at the place at 4 o'clock and two hcurs later was seen walking toward Blaysburg and has not been seen since. Mrs. Kelly's husband was killed at a railroad crossing several years r go. She owned a farm and the family has lived in the neighborhood one hundred years.

A well known gambler said today he had handled foO.000. An arizona ranch owner bet $20,000 that Taft would be nominated. A group of Pennsylvanians took the Roosevelt end.

FIREMAN HELMICH DISCHARGED TODAY Refused to Assist the Fire Chief in Repairing Defective Alarm Wires.

Henry Helmich, for five years a member of the Richmond fire department, serving at the No. 2 hose house, was discharged this morning because of insubordination Saturday when called on to assist fire chief Miller and Frank Carter in fixing defective wires. He refused to go saying that he would not serve if he had to climb poles and handle wires. He went home, and was present at the meeting of the board of works this morning when his case was decided. The board upheld Fire Chief Miller. Helmich stated he was not averse to fire duty, but that he would not climb poles and act as electrician. He stated that over two months ago when out with Fire Chief Miller repairing a damaged line, he had received a severe electrical shock which pinioned him fast to the pole. Miller rescued him, breaking the hold of the danger ous wires. Some time ago he received 500 volts at the old car barns, west of the city, while repairing a line, and stated that he was afraid of electricity and would not handle wires any more. The board decided he could not serve any more. He was complimented for his work as a fireman, the board stating its regret that conditions made it necessary for him to leave the city's service. The question of an appointee for this vacancy was brought up, and Pat Shute, a test car driver of the Davis company was suggested by the mayor. Shute is a young man. aged 22, and the mayor claims he is the "best man in town." Frank Newman, a chauffeur, has had an application in for the position for months. The new man must have automobile knowledge, as he will be expected to drive the auto truck which is to be returned for fire duty in a few weeks. Newman has had much automobile experience, is well versed in this work, and has had fire department experience, serving for some time in place of his father, Rufus Newman, now retired. No action was taken in regard to filling this vacancy. The mayor took an application slip, saying his young driver friend should have a position on the fire department if he could get it for him.
