? MAY BE COMBINED State Convention Knights of St. John Discussed Matters. SAVE LARGE AMOUNT Next Meeting to be Held at Batesville 60 Delegates Here. i Believing that a large sum could be saved each year In the various widows and orphans' insurance organizations affiliated with the order, delegates to the annual state convention of the Knights of St. John, which was held In this city yesterday, went on record as in favor of placing these organizations under on head. At the national convention, held last year in Toronto, this matter was taken up, but was lost by one vote. There are now thirty-seven widows and orphans' insurance organizations in the United States that are affiliated with the Knights of St. John, and it is estimated that at least one-half million dollars is paid out each year in salaries. In th event that the organizations were combined, it is argued, $400,000 could be saved annually in salaries. Many state conventions of the order have discussed this matter, and it is likely that it will be broached again at the next national convention fn 1914. ... To Create Interest. , The convention also discussed the matter of creating more interest in the organization. One method decided upon was to avoid placing individuals upon too many committees and giving the same members too many offices. By distributing the work among a larger number of members It is hoped to create more interest in the work of the order. . An attempt will also be made among all chapters In the state to secure young members. Batesville In 1914. , The convention decided upon Batesville as the place for holding the 1914 convention. The meeting will be held on the first Sunday In May, as usual. Sixty chapters of the order were represented at the meeting here yesterday. The delegates attended mass at 9:30 o'clock at St,. Andrew's church, following which a short session "was held, at which the committees on credentials and auditing were appointed. The minutes of the 1912 meeting were read, and bills of last year were allowed. , Following the afternoon session the delegates were given an automobile ride over the city. - - . . The local committee in charge of arrangements for the convention was composed of John Hafner, chairman; John Hablng. Joe Imhoff, Harry Schroeder and Anton Stolle. EIGHTEEN BAPTIZED , Eighteen members of the First Baptist church (colored) were baptised yesterday in the Whitewater river. Contrary to conditions in former years, the water was warm and the Bun was shining. One by one the eighteen was led to the river and immersed. Similar services will be held by the members of the . Second Baptist church (colored) next Sunday, when six will be baptised and admitted Into the church. PAYNE GETS CONTRACT .1 1 - . Wm. R. Payne; contractor, of Union county, was awarded the contracts for constructing the retaining wall at North Tenth street near the Reid Memorial hospital and the Sycamore Valley bridge. The wall will cost $585 and the bridge $875. WARLIKE ALBANIANS. Quiok to Shoot and Have Blood Foudt . , and Blood Fraternities. Albania has been compared to the highlands of Scotland in the sixteenth century, when all the clans were in constant feud one with another. "Many a time," says Foster Frazer, ''I have thought of similarities between Albania and Scotland. There are parts of the country reminiscent of the highlands. The passionate love of country Is characteristic of both peoples. The alertness of the Highlander to resent insult is equaled only by the quickness of the Albanian to shoot any one who may disagree with him. The quilted petticoat of the Albanian is certainly similar to the Highlander's kilt, and if you hear the wall of Albanian music In the hills you can without much stretch of Imagination fancy you are listening to the skirl of the bagpipes." The blood feud is the best known of Albanian institutions, but there are fraternities as well In which blood also figures. Two young Albanians will take a vow to stand by each other through life, and the relation established is so sacred that the children of the two may not marry. Among the Mlrdites young men who take this vow drink wine with which a few drops of the blood of both have been mingled. Two 6uch vowed friends, the story goes, once discovered that they were both in love with ihe same woman, a Trrk. Their solution of ihe difficulty was peaceful from their own point of view for they drove their daggers together into her heart. Chicago News. More Deadly.

Indiana Again ioMisplay. Products Of Her Apple Orchards to the World

Indiana is again to display the products of her apple orchards to the world. The Apple Show commission announces that the third Indiana Apple Show Commission will be held November 4 to 11, 1913. The past shows were a marked success and have caused a great revival of interest in the Indiana apple. Every May the office of the commission is flooded with inquiries relative to the proper care of long forgotten orchards, where to plant new orchards, and who can furnish those old-time friends the Vandevere, Rambo,' Tulpehocken and Belleflower. The object of the Indiana Apple Show is educational both to the public at large and the practical grower. It is held under the auspices of the Indiana Horticultural Society and its officers are responsible directly to the state. It is not an advertising scheme of land boom companies but an effort to improve and revitalize one of Indiana's most promising agricultural pursuits. The members of the commission receive no compensation but donate their time and energy to the cause of "better fruit for Indiana." Every cent received by the commission is spent on premiums and educational features for the show. President Ed R. Smith of Indianapolis has just completed a trip throughout the fruit growing sections of the state in the interest of the show. He says, "Never in the history SCHOOL STATISTICS C0NTA1DJ BOOK Day Recalled When the Unruly Boy Often Whipped the Teacher. There are 130 teachers now employed in Wayne township in the various schools, which is exactly the same number which was employed in the entire county in 1876. This fact was learned after an investigation of a Manual of the Common Schools of Wayne County, published in 1876, and now in the office of County Superintendent Williams. , ." The book is yellow with age, and contains the names of many teachers who are now engaged in teaching in Wayne county . J. C. McPherson, who was generally regarded as one of the founders of the Indiana school system, was superintendent at that time in this county. The county board of education then consisted of fifty-two members, though the number has since been reduced to twenty-three, and now includes only the presidents of the school board, with the superintendent and the township trustees. City's Representatives. At that time Sampson Boone was Wayne township's representative on the board, and P. C. Graff, W. H. Bradbury and A. Sampson represented the city of Richmond. Eacfe township had one and each corporation had three representatives on the board at that time. The document, giving a report of conditions at that time, was found when Charles W. Jordan, now secretary of the Commercial Club, was county superintendent. Books used in the schools at that time included French's arithmetic, Brown's grammar, Guyot's geography, Dalton's physiology. Eclectic system of penmanship, Webb's dissected cards and McGuffey's speller. The school term then was only three months, and the length of the average school day was six hours. The teachers were carefully Instructed both as to the duties and the kind of discipline to be maintained in the school. The teachers were not paid a fixed salary, but were compensated according to a contract with the trustees in the township where they were employed. Scholars Whipped Teacher. The per cent of men retained at that time was much larger than at present. This fact was due as a result of the inability of women teachers to maintain order, it is believed by the present school authorities. The students were often unruly, and it was not uncommon in some of the primitive schools for the scholars to attempt to whip the teacher. Of the 130 teachers employed in 1876, eighty were men. That women have so largely displaced men is attributed to the fact that men have found more satisfactory employment. Those Employed. The teachers employed in Wayne township at that time were recorded to be E. J. Kerlin, Ella M. Wickett. Thaddeus Hill, Lizzie Kendall, Lizzie. Dunham, D. B. Michener, Penina Hill, N. H. Shinn, Kate E. Smelser, Margarette Kendall, L. M. Jones, Ella Gibson, Kate Stanton, Lida Iliff, J. P. McCoy. Alice Scarce, John Scarce, Mary E. Harris, Laurette Ballard. Helen Homey, Anna M. Wefel, Sue Wesler, John Cooper, J. G. Holcombe, Emma Stubbs, Mary C. Dillon, D. W. Dennis, Eldora Copp. Alice Doris, Florence Simmons, Anna Mathews, Viola McDill, Mattie Woodward, Alice Francisco. Julia Test, Nora H. Robinson, Emma Elderkin, Maggie Dennis, Emma Shever, Anna Webb, Maggie Scofteld, Seda Hill, Rena Evans, Ella Perry, Mary Elderkin, Anna Schrage, Fannie M. Robinson, Anna Schofield, Agnes Steen, Marie Jones, Amanda B. Wiggins. Sophia Marchant. Lizzie Lupton, Mary I. Jones, Anna Lupton. Mattie Horney, Susie Horney and Alice Davidson. There was one colored school, which was conducted by two teachers, A. A. Burleight and Carrie Jenkins. DIVORCE GRANTED A divorce was granted to Sarah Keene by Judge Fox Saturday. The plaintiff alleged that her husband, James Keene, abandoned her.

of Indiana has there been a more pleasing prospect for a bumper fruit crop. Every tree with vitality enough to start growth is covered with bloom. Satisfactory weather conditions at this most critical of crop formation will give all portions of the state an equal chance to produce fruit which can compete favorably for the excellent premiums that are to be offered at the 1913 Apple Show. Nature has given every man in Indiana a chance in the race for the best box of apples. It is now up to the man to see that his trees are fed, sprayed, thinned and attended so that only perfect specimens will result at the harvest. Nature makes no effort to produce perfect specimens. Her ultimate aim is that of seed production. Quantity, not quality is her watch word. Man, for his fancy markets, requires quality and after that quantity. Many possesors of apple trees in Indiana will make an effort to be an exhibitor at the 1913 show. Care for that tree this season and see if it doesn't pay. "It isn't always the commercial orchardist who grows the fancy specimens. If Indiana's six millions of bearing apple trees were sprayed and properly attended to this season, the wealth of the farmers of thiss state would be increased by over twelve millions of dollars. Write to the Secretary of the Indiana Apple Show Commission, Lafayette, Indiana, for complete directions."

HAAS TAKES MATTER UP WITH OFFICIALS The proposition of repairing bridges east of the city which were condemned as being unsafe because of the recent high waters was taken up by Postmaster Haas, the county commissioners and Trustee Howarth Saturday afternoon. The bridges will be used by rural route delivery men if the proposed change of routes is put into effect as recommended by Mr. Haas to the post office department at Washington. The new route would accommodate fifteen families. The officials will go over the route tomorrow. The water works bridge and the bridge opposite the school house on the New Paris pike will be repaired. City Statistics Deaths and Funerals.

Food and Drink Alone Are Taxed and Debtors Are Imprisoned. In some respects the .Isle of Man is one of the most backward portions of the British empire. All the revenue is raised by taxes on food and drink. There are no death duties, no property tax, no land tax. The working classes are unprotected as well as overtaxed. No factory laws exist, and no attempt has ever been made to limit the hours of shop assistants, although Manxland is essentially a nation of shopkeepers. Then, although usury is forbidden by law, imprisonment for debt is still legal and is commonly resorted to. Yet' Manx laws, although backward in some respects, are in other ways well advanced. Every woman, widovr or spinster, in the Isle of Man, be she owner, occupier or lodger, enjoys the parliamentary franchise. Every widow enjoys half her husband's personal estate and has a life interest in his real estate, and she cannot be deprived of this by will. The sale of cigarettes and intoxicants to children was forbidden in Man for years before such a prohibition was enforced in England. Englishmen have legislated mildly against money lenders. The highest interest that can be charged in the island is 6 per cent, and that has been the law for over 200 years. Chicago News. LUXURIOUS KITCHENS. They Used Silver Lined Saucepans In the Old Days In Rome. While the housewife today prides herself, and with reason, on the equipment and conveniences of her establishment, she need not think that centuries ago other women in other lands were not equally well provided. Indeed, the kitchens of Roman women were much more luxuriously fitted out than are most kitchens of today. Now, in the days when the Roman empire was at its heiarht if you went into the culinary department of an elegant establishment you would find saucepans lined with silver and pails of various description richly inlaid with arabesques in silver and shovels that were handsomely and intricately carved. Egg frames, too, that would cook twenty eggs at once and pastry mold shaped like shells and an infinite assortment of gridirons, frying pans, cheese graters and tart dishes. The toilet tables of the Roman women were well supplied in the same lavish fashion. Ivory combs, perfumes, cosmetics, hairpins, even an elaborate hair net of gold, have been -recently unearthed. Safety pins, too, which have for a long time been considered a strictly modern invention, could be found on their tables. But they had no brushes nor any glass mirror, the kind they nsed being of silver or other white metals. Chicago Tribune.

MORE TIME GIVEN 111 RAILWAY CASE iMotion to Modify U. P. S. P. Merger Mandate Granted by Supreme Court.

(National News Association) WASHINGTON, May 6. The supreme ' court today granted the motion to modify the mandate In the Union Pacific-Southern Pacific merger case extending the time until July 1, the limit to which the government agreed. The first plans of dissolution submitted by the Union Pacific officials to the supreme court were summarily rejected.. In its decision of January 5, 1913, the supreme court made clear its original decision of December 2, i 1912 in which the merger of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific was ordered dissolved. ' The original plan, as submitted by the Union Pacific company, was merely the simple process of selling the Southern Pacific stock in its possession to the Union Pacific stockholders. The supreme court held that this did not satisfy the judgment of the court or accomplish its aim. This position : was generally regarded as a great advance from that which the court asisumed'in the dissolution of the Stan dard Oil company and the Tobacco Trust. In. both these cases, the stock of the component companies was entirely taken up by the stockholders within the confines of the dissolved corporation. In rendering its decision of January 5, the court did not formally alter its mandate in the Tobaco and i Oil cases. It simply repeated that each case must stand on its own mer- ; its and the court had no other object but the breaking up of offensive monopoly and restoring something like the competition that existed before the combination was effected. In the Standard Oil merger it was argued the offense lay in the combination of eighteen companies. Therefore the redistribution of the stock, to I those who held stock in the original , companies, ended the illegal merger. In the Union Pacific case, however, the court held that the distribution of or sale of the Southern Pacific stock to the Union Pacific stockholders would not effect any disjointer of interests, and that the Union Pacific might still continue to dominate the Southern Pacific as before. The Union Pacific company alleged that its stock was distributed between 22,150 stockholders, but this failed to convince the court that it would be impossible for the control of the 46 per cent of the Southern Pacific stock, now owned by the Union Pacific, to fall again into the hands of a limited group of Union Pacific stockholders. Realizing that further effort to convince the court of the feasibility of this dissolution plan would be futile, the Union Pacific company again summoned their lawyers and advisers and began at once to formulate a new plan of dissolution to meet the approval of the supreme court and at the same time create as little havoc as possible in the stock prices of the Harrimati roads. A QUEEN'S GIFT. Ristori's Request When Told "Any. thing You Ask Me Is Granted." Mme. RistorL the celebrated Italian actress of her day, was born of a no ble family, but her illustrious career added to the glory of her ancestors. I frequently went to her receptions, and many were the pleasant chats we had over a cup of tea. It was on one of these occasions that she told me the interesting story of how when she was once acting in Madrid her success was so colossal that Queen Isabella, who was then on the Spanish throne, sent for her, desiring to speak to her in the royal box. Tha queen expressed her pleasure in the enthusiasm and then said to Mme. Bistori: "Anything you ask me is granted." Without an Instant's hesitation Mme. Ristori replied to the queen: "Madame, If you really wish to give me whatever I ask I will beg you to reprieve the poor man who, as I read this morning, has been sentenced to death and is to be garroted tomorrow." The queen hesitated a few seconds before she granted this wish. But the reprieve was signed, and the condemned man was, to his great astonishment, released on the eve of his execution, little dreaming that he owed his life to the talented actress. It was typical of Mme. Ristori's noble, generous nature to ask the queen to grant her this request rather than to ask for som jewel or other tangible souvenir to hand down to her descendants.
