AUTHORITIES BELIEVE THAT IRVIN WHITE WAS MURDERED

The First Theory That Man, Found Dead Near Y. M. C. A. Died Accidentaiil, Dispelled By An Inquiry. (Continued from Page One) nan is said to have sworn that he would "get White" and re-entered the place through , another door. He w as promptly put out and did not return. White left a short time afterwards. This occurred about 10 o'clock and was the last time that White was seen alive, so far as can be ascertained DOW. The police spent most of the day making an investigation of this trouble but have made no arrests. It was .reported that the young man who had threatened White, left town but this has not been proven and the police refused to give out information on the matter. This clue will probably be worked on more than any other as it was the most recent threat that had been made against White. It is said that White was implicated in a case with a married woman whose husband made various threats against bim. Whether these threats were carried out Saturday night is not known but the man may be arrested on suspicion and closely examined. Not a Hard Drinker. White had been drinking Saturday Slight but was not Intoxicated, no odor of liquor issuing from him when his body was found. He had a reputation of being a sober man generally and was said to avoid trouble whenever possible. Although several threats have been made on his life in the past, It is said that these resulted from false accusations. Mayor W. W. Zimmerman passed Hear where White was found a few minutes before the body was discovered. After the body was found he was Immediately notified and came to the spot. He is working on the case but refused to give out his opinion. Theory of Coroner. One tooth was found on the lapel of White's cot, and several others were knocked out from the force of the blow. Coroner Pierce stated this morning that he believed that White was assaulted with a brick covered with cloth or some other material, but stated that he had no proof of this other than the nature of the wounds and bruises on the man's face. Others think that White was struck with a sand bag. White spent most of his time before coming to this city on a farm in Franklin township, near Whitewater. He had been working in Richmond for two years, most of the time at the Watt and Keelor Coffin factory. For the past two weeks he had been employed at the livery barn of William Rich on Fort Wayne avenue, where he had been making his home for some time. He was not married, being : survived by one brother and two sisters who live in Franklin township. His funeral will be Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock from the New Paris Methodist church. He will be buried at the New Paris cemetery. ARITHMETIC OF MUSIC. Piano Not Vibration Range From 32 to 4,096 Per Second. The pitch of a musical tone can be calculated arithmetically. While the human voice in song is something of an unknown problem, the notes of a musical instrument are adjusted according to the number of vibrations per second made by each note. The shorter finer and tenser the piano string the greater the vibratory speed and higher the pitch; the longer, coarser and less tense the string the slowei the vibrations and lower the pitch. The human ear becomes sensible to sound when vibrations have a speed of sixteen per second. As the vibrations Increase the pitch ascends until 36.000 are attained, when the result is inaudible. The practical range on the plana is from 32 vibrations to 4,096. Thirty-two vibrations is the number designated for the note of C, three octaves below middle C on the piano. The next O has twice the number of vibrations 64; the next twice that 128; the next 256, being middle O. Doubliug again for the ascending octaves, the successive C's vibrate, re spectlvely, 512. 1,024, 2.04S and 4,096 times per second. The pitch of the Intervening notes is regulated proportionally according to the chromatic scale. These figures have not always been the same. The early instrument makers of Europe had many disputes concerning the measurement of the musical strings and pipes that determined the pitch. The A string of the violin gives the tuning note for orchestras. On the piano It is the first A above middle C From early times to the middle of the nineteenth century this pitch note varied from 377 to 445 vibrations per second, but 435 proved to be the most acceptable pitch. In close calculations temperature has some influence, so that some experts do not advocate striving for greatei accuracy than within five vibrations for the pitch note. The celebrated high C of the soprano Tolce has a vibration of 1,024. There Is record of a woman, Lucrezla Ajugarl. who is vouched for by Mozart to have reached an octave above, therebj causing her vocal cords to vibrate at n speed of 2.04S times per second.

That princess Radziwill, the former Miss Dorothy Deacon of New York, made an unfavorable impression on Roman aristocracy by her sensational entre on the ball room floor at the fashionable Skating Club ball is generally reported here. The princess caused the hundreds of fashionable gowned women and their escorts to fairly gasp in terrified astonishment when she drove out on the shining floor in an old Roman chariot, with alion and leopard seated on each side of her. The animals were borrowed from the municipal 200, and were securely tied and muzzled. fi rfi ifti it 1 iti 1 at 1 if 1 iti if 1 sti sti 1T1 eti A 1T1 ifi A ifi iti CALENDAR OF SPORTS Monday.

Individuality In Children's Clothes. The aim of every fastidious mother is to dress her child simply and in a becoming manner. Her clothes should be a part of her and not obtrude themselves. Some mothers think that if the child takes too much interest In her clothes she will become self conscious. On the other hand, the child who knows that she is appropriately dressed, as a rule, forgets entirely about herself and her frock, and it becomes as much a part of her as her hair. The growing mind of the child is very sensitive to impressions, and if she learns early in life the cardinal principles of good dressmaking it will be as easy and as natural for her to apply them as she grows up as any of the other lessons of life. Sensitiveness to Color. Some children are very sensitive to color. They take a strong prejudice to certain colors. A red gown on a very high strung girl has been known to bring on a degree of excitement which frequently resulted in tantrums, while a frock of a more pleasing color would instantly soothe and quiet her. This in. of course, an extreme case, but there are more children than mothers realize who suffer cruelly from being compelled to wear clothes which in color and style are distasteful to them. Instead of trying to force the child to wear these clothes as a matter of training, the situation should be studied and the reason found for the child's objection. Child Must Be Considered. It takes, as a rule, such a little time and so short an explanation to get the child's point of view that it is a pity many mothers go ahead aud order their children's clothes without a thought of the individuality of the wearer, for children are so set in their ideas that they will not listen to reason and will not be guided by their mother's judgment, but it is necessary for them to feel that the mother Is a competent guide. In these days, when the whole system of teuching in the schools is to bring out the individuality of the child, it is not surprising that the girl, even before she enters her teens, may feel competent to question just how much mother does know about the right clothes for her. It Is necessary for the mother of today to study the clothes problem as it presents itself for her child. She will find that it is cot the least of the problems which confront her, nor can it be solved offhand at a minute's notice. The day when one dress could be passed down the line from one youngster to another is over. The manufacturer as much as any one has hastened Its departure, for few of the present day fabrics will withstand more than a season's wear and tear. If the mother is to guide her child in the selection of becoming and appropriate clothing she will teach her to study herself. The designers of children's clothing are quite ready to help the perplexed mother by offering her gowns and coats and bats of many styles almost as varied as those for older folk. The mother who selects successfully the costumes most appropriate for her daughter will cast aside her own preferences. She may delight in the fascinating Kate Greenaway gowns and coats, but unless her girl is of a picturesque type she will be wise to pass them by. The Awkward Child. The robust, tall, awkward child who promises to be a fine looking woman, but who in her early teens is the despair of many mothers, would look ridiculous In a Kate Greenaway frock, whereas she would forget her awkwardness in a well cut Russian blouse, where the low waist line would detract from her height. Just as there are women who always look well in severe costumes, so there are children who have a certain style in the simplest of costumes and who become wholly commonplace in appearance the minute they are dressed up in frills and furbelows. It is far better to dress a girl of this type In a plain little frock of soft woolen or cashmere, If a wash material is not desired, than in a frock decorated with lace and embroidery, with ruffles and shirrings. On the other hand, there are children who are fairly Irresistible in dainty muslin frocks beribboned and beruffled. What a Yawn Tells. When children bite their nails this often points to some digestive trouble, so do not scold your bairns for this nasty trick, but diet them very carefully and consult a doctor if they seem at all out of sorts. In older people the habit often goes with a hasty temper, which, in its torn, may be trace bad digestion. " " Constant, Uncontrollable yawning mav iCidetimes point to a growth in j-the nose and throat. The person can not nreatne properjy, so ne is rorcea to yawn, uot'by weariness, but in ordtr to draw more air into his lungs. Games For Children's Parties. Do not choose an elaborate game for a children's party. You must not, for instance, have one which involves the use ef a song or speech, as many of the children will not know the words and consequently will feel "out of It." A clever game of the "sit down and think" kind may be very good for grown people, but it merely bores the little ones and makes them cross and tired. The Lady of the White House. The president's wife has a definite legal status, and strict rules are laid down for her behavior during her busband's term of office. The lady of the White House must not accept general invitations and. outside of the cabinet circle, cannot attend a formal dinner in Washington. Away from Washington she may dine with anybody she likes. There is an unwritten law which Hews her to walk through a quadrille with a high official, but no lady of the White House has ever been known to whirl in a waltz. Chicago News.

Woman's Relief Corps Report At 26th Anniversary Meeting

At the twenty-sixth anniversary of the Women's Relief Corps of the Sol Meredith Post of the G. A. R. No. 55. Mrs. Kate Scott, one of the active members of the organization and candidate for president of the state organization gave the following account of the history of the order: TwentyBix years ago in the old G. A. R. hall in the Vaughn building at Eighth and Main, on January 18. 1887. Corps 45 W. R. C. was instituted by Rose A. Scharf and became the auxiliary of Sol Meredith Post 55. The charter members were Sallie Finney, Anna M. Bennett, Maria L. Schlater. Martha Avey. Sallie Hawkins, Mattie Alexander, Josephine Comstock, Elita J. Grant. Anna Larsh, Rose Johnson. Matie Haner, Ella Davenport. Elirabeth Betzold. Frank Thomas, Jennie Ilift. Pauline Jones. Frances Morgan and Rebecca Miller. This little band of women established an order that has grown to be one of the largest and best known of Womans organizations in the city. There are only five of the charter members who have kept up their membership all these years. They are Sallie Hawkins, Rebecca Miller, Josephine Com6tock, Jennie Iliff and Ella Davenport. Seven have passed away two transferred to other corps and the balance have through ill health and lack of interest left tbe order. The first officers were: President, Maria L. Schlater; S. V. Pres.. Sallie Finny; J. V. Pres.. Anna Iarsh; chaplain, Rebecca Miller; secretary, Frank Thomas, treasurer, Mattie Alexander, conductor, Sallie Hawkins; guard, Ella Davenport; assistant conductor, Rose Johnson; guard, Jennie Iliff. Since the institution of Sol Meredith Corps 255 have been admitted to membership. Of that number 165 are now in the Corps; 37 deaths have occurred during the 26 years and ten members were transferred. The old room where the W. R. C. met for more than 22 years was a A LOOK OF TERROR. How Artist Hodler Posed His Model to Secure It. Ferdinand Hodler's picture "Das Mutige Weib" (the courageous woman) has been much discussed in art circles, especially in Switzerland, the heme of tbe artist. The look of terror on the woman's face is lifelike. Tbe story of how the artist got the facial effects, depicting fright and determination, is as follows: Four models came to bis studio to sit for the picture. He asked them in turn to wear an expression such as, they would have on jumping into a lifeboat from a sinking ship in a storm. Not satisfied with the results, be took them up to the flat leaded roof of bis house, which is five stories high, and placed a chair on tbe extreme edge. The poor models were dreadfully frightened, and each in turn sat wide eyed on the forward edge of the chair, too nervous to look in any direction but straight forward. Tbe artist chose one of the women and took up his easel and rapidly sketched in the face and. upper part of tbe figure, though not at all too rapidly for the sitter. Munich Cor. New York! Sun. 8'ssp and Play. If we want to sleep every night we should work and play every day. Bnt the play must be play In its essence that is. we must enjoy it. This is the gist of Dr. C. W. Saleeby's hints on exercise for business men. Nature is not so diabolically contrived, he says, that anything we enjoy is bad for ns. "We daily need work to discipline us, maintain our physical, mental and moral fiber; we dally need play to hearten us (It may be cricket, music, chess, geology or even golf; we are all as different as our faces and have different needs accordingly), and we nightly need sleep to restore us."

carpet less, cheerless place and had none of the comforts and conveniences we now enjoy, yet it was our home for so many years, where we had had such good meetings and enjoyable times that when the time came to make the change it was with a feeling of sadness but not regret that we left the old home. The corps members are quite proud of this corps room and feel very grateful to the Post for the privilege of holding their meetings in it. The Woman's Relief Corps auxiliary to the grandest organization in the world, the "Grand Army of the Republic." is not a beneficiary order but is banded with it for the purpose of caring for the union veteran and his dependant ones; to see that patriotism and love of country is taught in the schools: that memorial and all national holidays are observed: that the younger generations are taught to respect the veterans of 61 to 65 who sacrificed so much that our country might be free; that the flag so dear tto every American might float with honor. When it spreads its folds of red and white and blue it betokens victory, power and command. When it droops it means compassion and sorrow. The purpose and object of the Woman's Relief Corps should be an inspiration to the corps members to work just a little harder in the years to come for the steps of our patriotic defenders, once so brisk, come slower and more feeble, let us look with tender care after those "w ho need our aid. Only a few short years and the last hero of 61 to 65 will have answered the last roll call, so let us strive to make their lives brighter and happier while they remain with us.
