A HEGRO FEDERAL OFFICER TARGET 'For ; Bitter Opposition in the Ranks of the American Bar Association.

(National News Association) MILWAUKEE, Wis., Aug. 26 The battle which has been going on in the American Bar association for more than a year over the question of ousting Assistant Attorney General William H. Lewis, the Boston negro and former Harvard athlete, is expected to come to a head in the convention of the organization which opens here on Tuesday next. The objection to Lewis, which his friends declare Is purely racial, threatens to split the association wide open and It is declared that Attorney General Wickersham is coming here prepared to champion his cause in a finish fight. The two delegates who are leading the opposition to Lewis are George Whitlock of Baltimore, and Edward Farrar of New Orleans. Lewis Was Expelled. The opposition to Lewis developed soon after he became a member, more than a year ago. He was proposed by the local council of Boston, and soon afterwards was advised of his election. Several months later, after his name had been sent to the senate by President Taft for confirmation as assistant attorney general, Lewis was advised by the executive committee of the association that he was viewed as "undesirable," that it was not known when he was elected that he was a negro. The executive committee met in January last and adopted a resolution expelling Lewis from membership. Attorney General Wickersham immediately made publication his belief that the action of the executive committee was indefensible, and declared his purpose to fight the question out at the next session of the association. A ramification of the Lewis Incident will be an endeavor to amend the constitution to exclude all negroes .from membership. Another big feature of the conveni tion will be the delivery of an address on "The New Nationalism," by Frank B. Kellogg, the noted "trust buster" of Minnesota. The convention will last three days, August 27, 28 and 29. Bolls and Bscs. It Is a foolish notion to suppose that the ringing of bells or "tanging" of tin pans will cause a swarm of bees to settle. The real origin of this custom dated back to the reign of Alfred the Great, who, In order to prevent disputes regarding the ownership of a swarm, ordered that the owner should always ring a bell when his bees swarmed, and ever since then the good farmer's wife has been rushing out -with ringing bells whenever the bees Swarmed, and the fact that they settled verified, in her own mind, the belief that the bell did it. London Standard, A Rural Financier. Boggs had managed to ditch Lis car and, after hailing a passing farmer, tried to arrange a dicker for help. "Why ya-as, brother," said the fanner, bringing his team to a standstill. Til help ye out Le's see what it'll come to one day's use o' the team, $5"- . "One dayr retorted Boggs. " 'Tisn't going to take you a day to haul that machine out. is it?" "Why, no," returned the farmer, "but arter I git the $3 I don't callate to do no more work ontil tomorrer." Harper's.

John Goins, blacksmith, 1326 North iG street, Richmond, Ind., says: "I have found that Doan's Kidney Pills live up to the claims made for them. iThe action of my kidneys was irregular.

The

Scrap Book Mad U.se of His Creditor. Whistler once bought some tapestries of a Frenchman named Barthe, who, not being able to get his account settled, called one evening for ' the money. He was told that Whistler was not in. But there was a cab waiting at the'door, and he could hear his debtor's voice. So he pushed past the maid, and, as he afterward related. "Upstairs I find him before a little picture painting and behind him ze bruzzers Greaves holding candles. And Vistlaire, he say, Tou ze very man I vant; hold a we hold CASDLE.' ZS candle!" And I hold a candle. And Vistlaire he paint and he paint, and zen he take ze picture and he rush downstairs, and he get in ze cab and he drive off, and we hold ze candle, and I see him no more." "Famous Houses and Literary Shrines of London," by A. St. John Adock. Threo Words of Strength. There are three lessons I would write. Three words as with a burning pen. In tracings of eternal light Upon the hearts of men: Have hope. Though clouds environ round And Gladness hides her face in scorn. Put off the shadow from thy brow. No night but hath its morn. Have faith. Where'er thy bark is driven. The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth. Know this: God rules the host of heaven, The inhabitants of earth. Have love not love alone for one. But man as man thy brother call And scatter, like the circling sun. Thy charities on all. Thus grave these lessons on thy soul, Hope, faith and love, and thou shalt find Strength when life's surges rudest roll. Light when thou else wert blind. Johann C. F. Schiller. A Quick Recovery. A Cleveland lawyer and a Cleveland railroad man went to a theater in that city. The railroad man saw a flashily dressed, red faced, sporty looking citizen sitting in one of the boxes. This man was the no account cousin of the attorney, but the railroad man did not know It. "Who is - the tough person sitting in the box?" the railroad man asked, pleasantly. "He looks like a drunken burglar.' "That," said the "WHO 18 THE TOUGH PEBSOS?'' attorney. "Is my cousin." The railroad man gasped a couple of times, but soon got a grip on himself and remarked genially, "Well, I went straight to headquarters for information, didn't I?" Saturday Evening Post Teaching Him His Placo. A man who was traveling in the mountains stopped at a cabin and asked for a drink of water. An old woman brought it out to him, and after drinking he had quite a talk with her, telling her great stories about some of the wonders he had seen in the outside world. Finally when he stopped to take breath the old woman took the pipe out of her mouth and said: "Stranger, if I knowed as much as you do I'd go som'ers and start a little grocery." Everybody's. A King Who Would Be Loved. An eccentric monarch was Frederick the" Great, whom his subjects called "Old Fritz." One day in passing along the streets of Berlin he noticed that a man left the sidewalk as he approached and crossed over to the other side of the street The king called him back and asked why he had done so. The poor fellow began to tremble and stammered, "Because you are the king, and I am afraid of you." "Afraid of me!" shouted the monarch. "I don't want my subjects to be afraid of me, but to love me. I will teach you a lesson." And he began to beat the man with his cane, crying out: "Next time when you meet me don't cross the street, but greet me with eyes that betoken love. Do you understand?" And the unlucky culprit cringing beneath the vigorous blows of the royal walking stick, promised that he would not fear but love the king. A Chance He Missed. Joseph Chamberlain and the late Sir "William Harcourt were fierce political rivals, but warm personal friends. On one occasion in 1SS6 Mr. Chamberlain was staying at Malwood, Sir William's home. The guests were inscribing their names in the visitors' book, one page of which was already full, when It came to Mr. Chamberlain's turn. "Now is the great chance of your life. Chamberlain." said Sir William. "Tou will be able to turn over a new leaf." "I will be hanged if I do!" retorted Mr. Chamberlain, and he turned the book around and wrote his name on the margin of the full page. Price of Ignorance.

HEADSTONES ORD

ERED BY WAR DEPT. A. W. Bradbury of this city has been notified by the War Department at Washington, D. C, that his application for headstones for the graves of his two grandfathers, David Bradbury and Samuel Boyd, both Revolutionary soldiers and burled at Jacksonburg, Ind., has been received and is regular in every way, meeting all requirements. As soon as necessary arrangements can be made and the stones cut and lettered they will be sent to Cambridge City and in due time will be placed at the graves. SPLIT THE BRIBES. Humorous Aspects of Vote Buying In tho Island of Guadeloupe. M. Gerault-Rlchards. according to Le Cri de Paris, freely communicates the processes employed in securing the election of a deputy In the island of Guadeloupe, where the population Is almost entirely negro, to the French chamber of deputies. "A little commerce with the electors of Guadeloupe," he said, "demonstrated to me that if the least confidence was given to the promises of these fellows I should be duped. 1 soon found out that to retain the interest of these electors 1 should give but half the present in advance, the second half to be given after the election in case of success. Following this arrangement they were given one of a pair of shoes, the pair not to be completed ontil they had voted. The women of some lords of importance received their earrings in two Installments. "A superb pair of pantaloons of white linen bordered with red were shown one Influential elector. The pantaloons were then cut In two In the middle, one leg being given to the voter and the other retained, to be given after he had done his duty. "That same evening," said M. Ge-rault-Richards. "I met my good man proudly promenading the street clothed in one leg of the pantaloons. No one ridiculed his appearnnce. Some of his friends even complimented him." NEW YORK'S OLDEST HOUSE. Built About 1692 of Dutch Brick Imported From Holland. Attention is called in the real estate board of brokers' bulletin to the building at 122 William street which is said to be the oldest building in New York city. It was built In 1G02 or there abouts of narrow Dutch brick imported from Holland and laid in cement. When the city opened the streets in the vicinity of the William street building it owned the property and placed restrictions in the deeds, such as some modern developers make, that the lots should be improved with buildings at least two stories high. There is a shed in the rear of the building which, the bulletin says, marks the first spot of first bloodshed in the Revolutionary war. This section, then known as Golden hill, was the camp of the Sixteenth regiment of foot (British grenadiers), and almost two months before the battle of Lexington the Sons of Liberty attacked them, with a result of five British soldiers wounded and one American killed and three wounded. The event is down in history as the battle of Golden hill. The building is on the east side of William street between John and Fulton streets. It has been owned for many years by the Gilford family. Chinese Laundry Tickets. The Chinese laundryman at the beginning of each week makes out a batch of checks In duplicate, to be used as wash tickets. He selects the name of some god or goddess or of some object, as the sun, the moon, etc. To this he prefires a number, as "Moon No. 1," "Moon No. 2," and so on. In the space between the two legends for the signs are repeated twice he has his own na'me as, for example, Wah Lee. When a customer takes a bundle of washing to the laundry the Chinese, first tearing a ticket in two in ragged fashion, puts one half of it on the packet for reference. The other half he gives as a receipt to the person who has brought the package of laundry. It must be presented when the laundry is demanded. New York Herald. Speaking Sootch. The race of Scotch speaking people is passing away, and not many are left to tell the story In the rich brogue of the national tongue. And there was always a story to tell, so that one on this very subject comes in pat here. A youth who had been educated in England returned to his family In Scotland and was shown off by admiring friends. "Is he not charming?" remarked one to the young man's sister. "Oh, yes, but he speaks English now," she answered in real distress. An old lady being asked if a person she had lately seen was "Scotch" answered with much bitterness: "I canna say. Ye a' speak sae genteel now that I dinna ken wha's Scotch." London Mail. . Tennis the Game of Kings. Tennis Is the game of kings. The oldest of existing ball games it Is mentioned in the Arthurian romances tennis was originally the pastime of the kings and nobles, and it was long before its descendant lawn tennis became popular with all classes. The game reached England from France and Italy, and by the time of Henry VII. we find a royal tennis court at Windsor. Henry VIIL was an expert at the game. London Chronicle. The Goat.

BUSINESS COLLEGE

The first stenotype owned in Rich- i mond arrived at the Business College this week. The machine is in excellent condition, and has proven very interesting to the number of persons who have already seen it in operation. The stenotype is one of the important inventions of the day, the magazine, "Modern Office Appliances," having devoted a page and a half to a free write-up of the instrument. The business men of Richmond are cordially invited to call and investigate its merits. Manager L. B. Campbell went to New Castle on Thursday to attend a meeting of officials of the Indiana business colleges. Miss Adah Goble, of Connersvllle, entered school this week. Helen Hawley is doing stenographic work for Architect Campfield in the absence of Miss Schuerman, who is in Cincinnati, spending her vacation. Mr. Charles C. Cring, who bs been making a tour of the southern states, has returned. He spent Saturday forenoon at Richmond Business College, leaving for Muncie on the noon train. He reports a veiy fine trip. HOW TO PUT AWAY FURS. Simple Method For Safely Storing Garmente During Summer. It is often declared that the storing of valuable furs at home is a false economy, but it is one which the woman who possesses valuable furs seldom attempts to practice. The very fact of her being able to buy such things argues that when warm weather comes along the problem of storage is promptly solved by her maid going to the tele phone and ringing up a good firm of furriers with instructions to call for madam's beautiful peltry next morning. The furs go away, are cleaned and lie In an arctic atmosphere until October comes nipping and madam wants them again. But the average woman, with her one fur coat or her muff and stole, seldom wishes to involve the expense entailed by such a proceeding, and it is not entirely necessary that she should. Cleaning is the first matter to be considered when putting away furs. A sunny, breezy day should be chosen fori the task, and each article beaten out of doors with a light cane beater and left for some hours to become thoroughly aired. Notice whether any fluff flies from the fur during the beating, as this is a sure sign that the moths have been there already. The coarser sorts of fur, such as are used for heavy motor coats, will stand a firm brushing with a fairly hard brush, but a softer brush must be used for the more delicate skins, which should also be brushed after their beat ing. Bran which has been heated in the oven and then rubbed into the fur is an excellent cleansing medium. Powdered magnesia may be used in the same way for white furs. After another shaking the furs are ready to be put away. A stout chest lined with tarred paper is an excellent storing place. Each garment should be wrapped in newspaper moths dislike the odor of the ink and whatever moth preventive the owner uses should be liberally applied. Camphor and red pepper are not lu the high favor they enjoyed in our mothers' days. It is not now considered necessary to have anything so disagreeable about one's belongings, and there Is a revival of the old world custom of using cloves and cinnamon, tonqutn beans and orris root Little muslin bags of cedar wood shavings distributed among the furs are an excellent moth preventative. If you have no suitable chest in which to store your furs a good plan is to make bags of strong unbleached linen for each article. Make them so that they draw up securely at the top, and stitch sachets containing your pet moth scarer to their insldes. These bags may hang in a wardrobe, where they will be convenient for the occasional overhauling which the most carefully put away furs should have once or twice during the summer.

EQUALITY OF

Never Car Be Attained Until Men and Women Are Physically and Mentally Fit and Law Is Administered on a Basis of Common Sense.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. In the news columns today will be found a statement from the chief of police saying that he approves of the suggestion made in a letter addressed to the Palladium la6t week that the city employ a woman police officer to lock after women and girls and to have supervision of feminine delinquency on the streets. Mr. Gormon stys that this would do more to clean up the situation than any other one thing. He says, also, that the fact that a woman in citizen's clothes could receive instructions and make her reports to him would be more effica cious in assisting the city to control these matters than "all the uniformed policemen we now have." Here now is tho opportunity of the women's and philanthropic organizations. They can take this up at once with the city administration and, since there is no opposition from the police department but approval of the plan, recommend that an appointment be made at once. The letter addressed to the Palladium was written by Mrs. Reba Stetson Hill, of Indianapolis, formerly resident here. And was inspired by an interview the writer of this column had with Mr. Gorman In which he pointed out the difficulties that lay in the path of his performance of official duty. The truth is that the city officials are ready and willing to co-operate with the citizens in an attempt to put an end to, or at least minimize, youthful delinquency. Dr. Zimmerman has been giving a ! lot of good adviee in police court of late and is desirous of straightening out minor offenses to the best interests of the community. One of the best things said by Mr. Gunckle the other day at the Chautauqua, when giving the details of his work among the boys of the streets, was to the effect that boys should be kept out of the reformatories and penitentiaries. That a disciplinary system which acted as a deterrent rather than one which was used as a retribution was that which would conduce to the betterment of the whole social body. Senator West, of Oregon, whose famous program of procedure toward the inmates of penal institutions has been commented upon here recently, is operating on the same basis. The truth is that the whole trend of modern thought and action is to ward the prevention rather than the cure. It never does anybody any good to be sent to the penitentiary.

OPPORTUNITY"

Because, for one thing, it brands him for life. Whether the punishment is just or not. Whether his term is long or short. And follows innocent posterity down the ages. Herein lies the whole gist of criminal procedure. The suffering it entails upon the innocent. And it is the altrurian purpose of the latter day social propaganda to nullify this through the process of elimination. For the time must come, the good book notwithstanding, when the sins of the father must not be visited on the children. Humanity cannot cease to exist until this Utopian state is attained. For this is one of the cruel injustices which is more and more resented by society at large. And which it is striving to rectify. To minimize social demarkation and to bring humanity to a level of physical and mental equiftbrlum. And thus give that famous "equality of opportunity" which is the tenet of the Socialists. For no matter what equality of opportunity may be presented it is nullified, or would be nullified, by the physicial and mental imperfections of men and women. They can't all stand on the same line at the start unless they are all ;n the same condition of fitness. There can be no equality of oppor tunity even should the social body adjust itself to that condition where it could be offered until the present physical and mental habit of humanity is less anomalous We must all have good bodies and good minds, in other words, before we will be able to take advantage of the political used in its catholic sense opportunity that might be off' ered equally to all. And we will never be In that condition until civilized humanity realizes its own responsibility to itself.
