MIS

S HILL DEFENDS AIMS

ATTACKED IN LOCAL CLUB

That the Tourist, Ticknor and Magatine clubs, of this city, have definite purposes was the defense of Miss Sa rah Hill last night in her address of welcome to the delegates attending the convention of the Sixth district Federation of Women's Clubs. Miss Hill, who is a member of the Rich mond school board, was moved to make this defense because of criticism of these organization made at the Brookville meeting last year. Nothing, she said, has done more for mod ern women than her clubs, in which mind sharpens mind. Miss Hill's address of welcome follows: Dear Friends of the Federate Clubs I will repeat informally what Mayor Robbins has said officially: 'Welcome to our city.' We certainly will try to show you a good time while you are here. We are glad to look in your faces and to give you a hearty Hoosier handshake. "Two years ago three other club women of this city and myself had the pleasure of attending your meeting at Brookville; you may remember that the weather was perfect; the ride from Richmond down was one long pano rama of beauty, and the grandeur of the scenery was a revelation to those of us who were taking the trip for the first time. "The session were held in a pretty church, the open windows curtained by branches of trees, and through them came the droning of bees. A feeling of restful content took possession of the meeting, and the atmosphere seemed to breathe 'God's in His Heaven; all's right with the world.' "Corresponding to Friends reports on the state of society in their yearly meetings, the various clubs were reporting progress, noting their membership, rehearsing their activities, and summing up the work accomplished. Everything seemed to be going well and to be going forward. "Suddenly we sat up and took fresh notice; the lady assigned to Wayne county clubs, after telling of the work in Cambridge City and other outlying points to the west of us, spoke for the Richmond clubs; she said beauti ful things about the Domestic Science, of the Collegiate, the Aftermath, the Athenaea, of the Trifolium and the Cycle, and they deserved it all. She concluded her review by the assertion that in contrast, the Magazine club, the Ticknor and the Tourists seemed to have no aim nor object beyond their own selfish pleasure and entertain' ment! Comes to Defense. "As three of our party were Tour ists and one both a Ticknor and a Tourist, I think that with reason we asked the question if we had not had a jolt? Specially as the Ticknors are a literary society of Presbyterian ladies. and I will ask any fair-minded audience if it can conceive of any body of Presbyterian women clubing together for selfish pleasure and without having their eyes constantly fixed upon a goal toward which they strive! "They have been too thoroughly grounded in the Westminster Catechism and the chief end of man, to be strolling carelessly along any walk in life without a definite end in view. A merited criticism of the average Presbyterian woman is a lack of a little admixture of frivolity to leaven the good old indigo-blue doctrines of our church, but in these days we are getting there, thank you, or at least approaching! "I am making no defense for the Magazine club, for I do not have personal knowledge of its internal workings, but judging from recent newspaper reports, which are always more or less reliable, it has been getting pretty gay in the very recent past. (Kindly overlook the slang, if possible; our club took up the subject of slang, and while its defendants did not go the full length of George Ade, it was unanimously decided that some slang was permissable sometimes because of its strength and perspicuity!) "And the Tourists; if there is one thing of which its members are fond and proud, it is this club; it is a mixed club, decidedly, in its membership I mean; it is made up of some fifteen married couples, a limited number of bachelors, widows and seven spinsters; looking at it from another point of view, it embraces a college president, several professors, a preacher, and a fine lot of business men. some or them optimists, but with s good admixture of pessimists in 1914 Not long ago note the combination, as the Ladles Home Journal would say we had also a physician, an un dertaker and a florist! We still have a majority of the trio. Men In Tourist Club The club is absolutely unique. I believe, in that It is the only one in the Sixth district having men embrac ed by this Woman's Federation; they may seem a little shy, dear federated ladies, but I assure you that they came in with very little coercion "We Tourists have been traveling to gether for a quarter of a century, though you would never guess it ; we have been everywhere, and like T. R., we have sized up conditions on the spot, stated them with great frank ness, prescribed the remedy for the evil, and after a decent lapse f years have gone back to note improvement We are Just through with the Bal kans, and only one member has had the audacity to hand in a unanimous report, and to stay with it. And this leads me ud to mv text: We have nptNtraveled together all these years without taking our turns at a rub-down with sandpaper, kindly but firmly applied when necessity seemed to demand it. and this is one of the benefits of the club for its members. There is nothine for man or woman as havine the crud ities rubbed away in a kindly spirit "A nn 1 t J . A good deal of fun is poked at the modern club woman, but no move ment of later times has done more for women than their self-organized clubs; it is the true post-graduate course and Is being taken yearly by increasing numbers. Mind Sharpens Mind. Any line of living interest will fur. nish a program; it is not the hard study nor the laborious writing of a voluminous paper, correct in all its facts, that counts; it is rather mind sharpening mind, the give and take of congenial organisation. Sometimes the free swing of frolic night, the letting loose of formalities, will do mora for a club member than all th reat of the year's program, helping to get nu m uwuuiDg rears ot each other, dropping our egotistic ianijTanu and acquiring a free use of ourselTea. iae aay of tne shv. timid woman

agreeably self-assertive woman will never arrive; but timidity and shyness are not 'good form' nowadays, because they are the outward signs of a lack of self-confidence produced by a lack of preparedness. "There is nothing like a good club to give a woman that confidence in herself which makes her an influence for good, whether through study and practice of domestic science, in aiding our hospitals and churches or, forward, through the study of art, music, literature or civics. "If the lady who made the Wayne county report at Brookville is here tonight, we hope that she will laugh with us; the very relaxation that comes from membership in a good, live club is balm-of-gilead to busy people carrying the responsibilities of our too complex lives. "And so, dear federated ladies, I have at last arrived at the kernel of my discourse. On behalf of all the Richmond clubs, I say again that we are glad you are here. You are the very salt of the Sixth district; we are

yroua or your gooa worKs and your laDor or love. "Welcome to Richmond." Price's ice cream tested the highest n tne city in the recent state test. FIND TWO DEAD BY LEASED WIRE ELGIN, 111., May 22. Orville Magnus, aged 7, son of Victor Magnus, a prominent resident, and William Lawler, 35, were today found dead in the home of Frank W. Miller, wheTe the latter lived. The boy's throat was cut. Lawler, it was believed, died from poison. Mystery surrounds their deaths. The boy went to the Miller home to spend the night with a boy friend. NOTICE TO DEMOCRATS. All Democrats and delegates of Wayne township at last county convention are requested to meet at the city hall, Richmond, at 7:30 p. m., Monday, May 25. Delegates to joint convention to be held at Cambridge City at 1 p. m., Thursday, May 28, to select joint rep resentative, will be the same as last county convention. Other business of vital importance to the party will be taken up. O. O. Smith, Township Chairman. J. H. Allen, Secretary. 22-lt BOYS "CAMP OUT." Three bad boys played hookey from home last night and "camped out" at Glen Miller park. They also fished in the lake but complained that thev only caught "one little sucker." Coming down Main street this morning they washed their hands and faces in a horse fountain and a complaint was made. They were brought to police station and released after a scolding from Chief Goodwin.

Law Retards Library, Says Woman Speaker

The special library la wof 1S79 with tne amendments of 1885 and 1895, passed for the Richmond library, re tarded library progress in Indiana fully fifteen years. Richmond citizens who were interested in the progress of libraries went happily and serenely on, refusing to aid other cities of the state in their struggle to establish libraries, according to the speech of Mrs. A. D. Moffitt, chairman of the library extension committee of the state federation, before the district federation today. Mrs. Moffitt stated that only since

The second trial of the police official endede at 12:28 o'clock this afternoon, when Justice Seabury concluded his charge to the jury. The court's instructions were a clear analysis of the evidence presented to the state and defense. The justice held that Jack Rose, Bridgie Webber and Harry Vallon were accomplices in the murder and told the jurors that if they believed the state had corroborated the testimony of these three witnesses a verdict of guilty should be returned. NEW SHOE STORE LEASES QUARTERS The Walkover Shoe store, now located at Hamilton, Ohio, will move to Richmond in the near future Tho company has secured a lease on the ! room, formerly occupied by the Empire Cigar Store.

SUES ON ACCOUNT To collect money for installing a new front in the saloon of James Braxton on Main street, Fry Brothers Manufacturing company entered suit in circuit court today demanding $iu8.50.

Copenhagen compels all taxicabs to be ventilated for each trip. (1901 has there been any library progess because of the previous handicap of Richmond's special legislation. The new law which she is advocating may or may not include cities such as Richmond, where special laws were passed according to the desire of the library board. Financial difficulties and political tax levies will be avoided under the proposed law. All previous laws will be codified and uniformity obtained under the proposed plan, Mrs. Moffitt believes.

H., I. & E. traction car was speeding along at a rapid rate last night between Lewisville and Dunreith, the trolley wire broke and Motorman Wlllard TJlrich had a very narrow escape from being electrocuted. After the broken wire had shattered the front window of the rnotorman's platform, the broken glass severely cutting Ulrich's hand, the wire wound itself around a part of the car front. When the car was stopped with the emergency brakes the wire untangled again and whirled Into a nearby field, setting fire to a haystack. The passengers were greatly frightened for a time. A repair crew fixed the wire within a short time. PLENTY OF VARIETY IN MURRAY SHOW Clark & McCullough, the Feature of a Versatile Vaudeville BUI.

Women's Clubs Further Collection of H istorical Data for. Centennial

Anent the practical efficacy of women's clubs, Miss Esther Griffin White, Interested in the Sixth District Federation of clubs, called attention to the importance of the history committee under the direction of Mrs S S. Harrell, of Brookville. The sub joined statement Is apropos of the point: Editor of the Palladium: There is a disposition on the part of that portion of the public unacquainted with the activities of women's clubs, as represented in the various state federations, to call into question the practical nature of their work. But this attitude is generally the result of lack of information. Will you permit me. at this juncture me meeting or the Sixth MisfW convention to call attention to the importance of the History rumuutiee under the direction of Mrs. S. Harrell' of Brookville, who is both district anl state chairman of this department of the Indiana Federation of clubs? Mrs. Harrell is, by the way, one of the leading women of the state having attained a national conspicuity at the time of the Columbian Exposition, at which time she was a member of the state commission and a prominent Indianaian who helped to give the state eclat, both officially and socially. No one better, therefore, than Mrs. Harrell to take charge of tln work nf jthe History Committee, whose special object just now is to have a representative in every club in the state to make collections of local history for the use of the managers of the State Centennial, which is to be held in 1916. "The club women could render nn better service to the state," says Mrs Harrell, "than that cf getting into permanent form facts of local history fast j slipping away. "Here is an opportunity for the club women of Indiana to do a distinctive ; service is stimulating the historical i inm ana selling anout to place in the hands of the Indiana Centennial Committee material for 1916." The writer is not informed as to the existence of local branches of this committee but there is a vast deal of material here in Richmond that should and could be collected and put into shape for use of the Centennial committee. This in the nature of rare editions cm books by Richmond writers, diaries obscure facts of local history, arrange ment of importance and better known events, biographical data concerning
