STRAW HATS REMAIN
Richmondites Did Not Don Derbies and Felts Saturday. Did you take it off Saturday? Thousands of Richmondites did not. It was the official day to abandon the straw hat, but with unanimous con sent Richmond decreed that the straw hat should remain until the torrid wave had given way to cooler weather. With the sun beating furiously on the city Sunday, the parks were crowded with hundreds of picnic parties and the country districts swarmed with people anxious to escape the confining surroundings of city life. And the straw hat went with the masculine members of the parties and the Btraw hat covered the brows of hundreds who paraded the cltyi streets. Derbies and felt hats were left on the shelf to accumulate more dust. Although the weather Sunday was cooler than Saturday, indications are that for twenty days at least Old Sol will make his presence felt. There Is but little Indication that the hot spell will be broken for nearly a month. In fact, the weather bureau says that the real hot weather of the year is still to come. Many persons yesterday admitted that they had chosen the wrong summer weeks for their vacations when they left Richmond for the north late in July and early In August. It has been extremely cool in Michigan until last week, so frigid indeed that winter, underwear, was the order of the day, while the temperature in Richmond was not so unbearable that comfort was a negligible quantity. Richmond sweltered yesterday in a temperature of 96 degrees in the shade the highest of the season. The government thermometer at the water station eaBt of the city registered one deigree higher than at any other time this summer. Despite the excessive heat, however, no prostrations were reported.

Handsome Mrs. David Arthur lies dead with a bullet hole in her head and her husband is in the county Jail as a result of a tragedy which occurred at midnight at their home, two miles from this city. David Arthur arrived home from Linton and found his wife with one other woman and three other men, all married, in the midst of what the police call a "Joy party." "All right for you," Arthur remarked smilingly and taking a revolver from his pocket opened fire on the crowd. All escaped by leaping through windows and doors except his wife, who sank to her knees in a plea for mercy. The last of the six shots rang out and the woman fell dead. The finding of the crowd of well known married people together under the circumstances has thrown a shock into the community. Arthur notified the police by telephone of his deed and later surrendered himself.

Allen, manager of the Allen Furniture company, which is one of the several stores in Indiana, Ohio and Michigan owned by the Hoover-Bond company. That big concern has just opened a store at Kalamazoo, Mich., and Mr. Allen has been placed in charge of It. VMr. Allen will be succeeded in the management of the local store by W. M. Penny, who has been in charge of the collections and advertising department for the past three years Mr. Penny is one of the best known young business men in the city and his many friends are pleased to learn of his promotion He formerly resided at Fountain City and taught school for seven years. He .moved to Richmond five years agoy' POLICE ON LOOKOUT For Ohio Convicts Said to Be Heading for Indiana Line. The local police department has been notified to look out for John Vlckers and Thomas McDonald, who escaped Sunday from the state hospital farm, near Dayton, Ohio. The Ohio authorities believe that the convicts are heading for the Indiana line. An all-night search failed to reveal the whereabouts of John Vlckers, alias John Smith, alias John Woods, and Thomas McDonald, "honor" prisoners, who made their escape about 10 o'clock last night from the Ohio state hospital farm, where forty trusties are working. Vickers was serving seven years from Hamilton county for burglary, and McDonald three years from Lucas county for robbery. LICENSES TRANSFERED At its meeting this morning the board of county commissionersgranted two transfers of liquor licenses in the city. The license formerly held by Edward F. Cutter was transferred to Homer V. McLeland and the 11 cense formerly held by John C. Miller was transferred to Frank H. Putthoff, No Caste In Snores. The cause and cure of snoring concern all classes, says the London Chronicle. We have record that both the house of lords and the workhouse have suffered from It. There was a former Duke of Norfolk who fell into the habit of sleeping audibly In the lords, and it happened that he was hard at it on one occasion when a bill concerning the pariah of Great Snoring, in Norfolk, came before the house. The roar of laughter with which the bill's title was greeted awakened the duke and relieved his fellow peers. At the other end of the social scale we have the poor law commission minority's commendation of the ingenious workhouse master who divided the old men at night so that the snorers and the deaf men slept in one ward and the rest in another. Johnnie Knew. A teacher in an uptown school wns giving her nmall charges a lesson In politeness the other day. "Now, when," said she. "should jou say 'Excuse me, please?' " There was a moment's silence, then very small boy put up his hand. "Well. Johnnie? "Please, ma'am, yon should aay 'Excuso me. please.' when you sneeze at th table and don't turn away your heed quick enough." Cleveland Plain Dealer. Fish and Brain. The saying that fish is the best brain food comes of an eld long tongue windbag years ago saying: "Thought la impossible without phosphorous. So a Swiss chemist, knowing that fish contained phosphorous, put two and two together, and brought forth a saying that will never die. She Knew All Right. "Ton don't know what that'e a picture of.

The miners of New Mexico tell a queer story which illustrates their belief in luck. A miner was trudging along one hot day through a gulch, with the sun shining on bis back, when he smelled smoke and presently, to his dismay, discovered that his knapsack was on fire. Like all miners, he carried a large lens for the purpose of examining specimens, and for want of room he bad hung the glass on the outside and the rays of the sun had been concentrated on his pack. ' As among the contents were fifteen pounds of powder he lost no time in dropping the dangerous burden and getting as far away as possible. The haversack fell betveen two big rocks, while the miner from a safe distance mournfully watched the smoke rising from his sole worldly possessions. Presently there came a deafening explosion, and the miner went to gather, up what he could find. Then his eyes almost started out of his head at seeing the quartz that bad been blown up fairly glistening with gold. His powder had literally blown open a gold mine, and he was made a rich man in an instant. He named the mine the "Nick o' Time." Exchange. HINDU WOMEN. Whatever Their 8ttion They Are Gracious and Picturesque. There are. of course, all kinds of Hindus. They range from the lowest levels of superstition and ignorance to high attainments of intelligence and culture. But in one respect they are all alike. "Never once," says Mr. Begbie. "have 1 detected the very smallest smirch of vulgarity either In manners or In dress." The Hindu may believe in 30,000,000 gods, be may hold that the world is flat and that his soul's salration is endangered by the shadow of a European, "but he will have charm of manner and make a picture either la the unhandseled Jungle or on the platform of a railway terminus.' But the Indian woman Is the crown of her creation, as. of course, all women are everywhere. She may be: unable to read or write, she may give to idols and believe that ber god or devil rides around the village at night on a plaster horse or a mud elephant, "but she will be modest and gracious In her manner, and her dress will be as beautiful as the Cowers of the field." No matter how savage and heathen, how ignorant and stupid these people may be. they "have a nobility In their manner and a lorelinesr In their raiment" San Francisco Arconast T6rfr la n meflJef x o Lat toe tan: me so pluuit to tke !r- Calweil a BTTp spia. th potittre care lr mU diw roZ McoKt troble.
