Dan Cupid is putling the month in a close second to June for marriage license honors, according to theh figures given out Saturday by the county clerk. During the month of August there were forty-four marriage licenses and fourteen divorce complaints filed. The divorces are up to the usual number for the month, but the marriage licenses are far above the number issued in August of former years, according to Clerk Kelly. September promises to be the banner month for divorces and if the average of the first day is maintained throughout the month, Richmond will rival Reno as the" divorce center. Saturday four bonds of matrimony were torn asunder by order of the court. One marriage license was issued on the first day of the month, it being issued to William Utter, of Hagerstown and Amanda Wardlow, of Dublin.

Nicholas and the former empress each have a room, two rooms have been put aside for the four daughters and one for Alexis, the former heir apparent. The other rooms, except the dining room, kitchen, reading room and so forth, are occupied by the servants. The house is without a garden and the only way of getting fresh air is from a small balcony. The new home of the Romanoffs was not ready when the family arrived and they were compelled to spend two days aboard the small steamer on which they travelled the last fifty miles down the Tobol River. The former empress and her daughter Olga rode to the house, while the other members of the family walked. The day of their arrival was a holiday and few persons saw the new comers except for a small crowd which had assembled to watch a priest conduct the usual ceremony of blessing the house for its new tenants.

Chautauqua Talent "Just Folks9 During Off Season, Roscoe Finds

By ROSCOE FLEMING . ' Miss Irene Bewley in her appeal to the audience to come up and get acquainted, Friday afternoon, made a re; mark that is more true of the Richmond talent than that of almost any other Chautauqua. "Chautauqua people are just folks," said Miss Bewley, ''axtd we like to meet other folks." The Chautauqua people who have been on the Richmond program are almost without exception, "just folks," leaders In other lines of work who have taken the sumer off to tell other folks interesting things about their own specialties. Phelps Is Teacher. William Lyon Phelps is one of the leading teachers of the east, John G. Benson, platform manager and lecturer, is assistant to Bishop Henderson of the Detroit area of the Methodist church. Alice Louise Shrode, the child reader, is a school girl of Evansville; Ralph Parlette an editor; Woodbridge Ferris a school teacher; Benton Oppenheimer Homes, your tents were, for a space; With their curious names and Jolly, Homes of laughter; Melancholy , Stayed in town to run the place. Tho' those tent-homes all be gone, A year shall pass as years have done; So be this our parting cry: "Au reyoir and not good-by." We have met; if ne'er again We meet, unforgot your faces; Un forgot the pleasant places Where we lived in sun and rain. Brief the moment; Memory's power Holds for aye the passing hour. So be this our parting cry: "Au revoir, and not good-by." Roscoe Fleming. Boys'll Parade in Shirt Tails Tonight if Hen'll Let 'Em Saturday night comes off the Chijutauqua's crowning social function, if the weather and Henry Westenberg permit. From time immemorial a night-shirt parade, with most of the boys in camp as participants, has wound up the camp's "night-life." Last year the boys taking part took a free ride down-town to the city building, by invitation of the police. Results this year are eagerly awaited. AGED HAGERSTOWN WOMAN IS DEAD HAGERSTOWN, Ind., Sept. 1 Mrs. Cordelia Scott, 74 years old, was found dead in bed at her home here Saturday noon. She had been missed by neighbors during the morning and at noon a search was made for her. Death was due -to heart trouble, it is believed. Mrs. Scott is survived by four children, Horace and Claude Scott, of Hag'; erstown, and Mrs. C. E. Ford and Mrs. Frank Newcomb, of Chicago. Funeral arrangements will be announced later. Former Economy Man Does Well in Texas ECONOMY, Ind., Sept. 1. Fred Weyl, son of Lewis Weyl, who left Economy eight years ago, and is now at the Pan-handle of Texas, is the owner of 960 acres of land, and has in addition a section leased making 1,600 acres in all. In a letter home he tells of threshing 25,000 bushels of wheat of which 4,000 bushels were his own. He has 75 head of Hereford heifers feeding for the markets. He has a tractor and has prepared 600 acres for fall wheat. An interesting sale is recorded of the brother to bis pedigreed blooded bull, a great sire, fetching the big sum of $27,500. SON OF PIONEER BREWER DEAD IN PREBLE CAPITAL EATON, O., Sept. 1. After a short illness. Joseph Fassnacht, 42, died early Friday at his home on West Decatur street. The deceased was a son of the late Joseph Fassnacht, Sr., a pioneer brewer, who died in January, 1916. His mother died about 6 years ago. The deceased is survived by five sisters: Mrs. E. E. Bailey, of this city; Mrs. William Swisher, Campbellstown; Mrs. Charles Monosmith, of this city; Mrs. J. M. Noakes, Dayton, and Mrs. Elizabeth Channell, of Florence, Col. Funeral arrangements will not be announced until after word is received from the sister in Colorado. Have you tried the experiment of listening to Miss Bewley with your eyes shut? She is so good on presentation of masculine voices that unless you're very critical, you can easily imagine the men speaking. Feminine members of the Chicago Ops all practiced war economy while they were here, and spent their spare time busily knitting. They had attempted to teach the men of the company how to knit, they said, but had found it was "nit on the knit." A cricket with an unusually adequate baritone aided Miss Maxwell to sing "The Land of the Sky-blue Water" Friday evening. He also took the vocal solo part for Miss Neill's third encore. j Huckelberry Finn of the Breeze received a call- from two personalj friends Friday night about midnight. They intended to take him outside and leave him in the street in his cot, but Huckelberry was awake.

'CHAUTAUQUA CAMP'

1 i Ghautauquettes

a Cincinnati lawyer and literary man. Mrs. Strauss is a writer; Arthur Evans a clergyman and Mrs. F. B. Clarke an Indianapolis suffrage leader. As for the musical companies, they also are almost without exception hard workers in other lines than the platform. The members of the Boston sextette and the Chicago Ops, the leaders, are teachers and soloists in Boston and Chicago respectively. The Hawaiian singers are young professional men and students, the L. A. C. girls Chicago amateurs.

MUSICAL STARS REPEAT SUCCESS The Chicago Operatic company completed their conquest of Richmond Friday, scoring two pronounced successes Friday aftsrnoon and evening. Miss Amy Neill, violinist, and Miss Margery Maxwell, soprano, shared the honors of the evening program, both being very popular. Miss Neill received three calls to return after her splendid presentation of a Schubert number and her last number was almost as well received as the first. Miss Maxwell was recalled twice after her aria from "Louise," and gave for her encores a piece by Lohr, and Cadman's "Land of the Sky-blue Water." Mr. Schutz, with his well-done presentation of "Mephisto's Serenade," with an encore which he said was for the "little folks," and Miss Pringle with her brilliant Spanish dance by Popper scored the other greatest individual successes of the evening. The trio and quartet numbers were also much applauded. As on the previous day, Mr. Nelson's beautiful accompaniments added much to the solo numbers, and he was especially good in the piano part of the "Eligie" by Arensky, played by Miss Neill, Miss Pringle, and himself. READER MAKES DECIDED "HIT" ( Miss Irene Bewley, reader who is on tha program for Saturday and Sunday, ma-e a decided hit in her first two appearances Friday afternoon and evening.'; . Mjss Bewley presented a play, "Mary Jane's Pa," in the afternoon, and gave a varied program as the prelude to the Chicago Operatic companyfs concert, in the evening. Jjjs Bewley has power of imitation of mien's voices and of presenting the differences in their ways of talking, unusual in a woman reader. Sh made the story of Mary Jane's Pa, who wandered away from home one pay Decause ne got urea or domes tic lflfe, and came back just in time to savtf ms wire ana daugnters from varunpleasant catastrophes, very and was generously applauded. er evening readings varied all the from a monologue representing a an trying on a hat, good comedy well received to a tender child by Paul Lawrence Dunbar. Yhree German Spies Are Sent to Jail by Norwegian Officials CHRISTIANIA, Sept. 1. Three German spies have been convicted at Bergen for supplying information to submarines regarding the sailing time of vessels which later were torpedoed. Captain Laven and Officer Schwartz, German citizens, and Thorsen, a Norwegian, all were given terms in the penitentiary. Laven was sentenced to five years, Schwartz to four and Thorsen to ten years imprisonment. Captain Laven admitted that he worked under instructions from the German authorities. He said that German subjects were forced to obey such orders. Norwegian newspapers in communicating on the trial emphasize that the country must take note of the fact that the German subjects must take orders from their government. FIVE O'CLOCKS TRIUMPH ON VOLLEY BALL COURTS Men of the five o'clock and six o'clock business men's classes of the Y. M. C. A. met on the volley-ball court Friday evening at 5:15. The five o'clock class led by Dr. L. M. Gentle, triumphed after a fierce tussle, over the six o'clocks led by L. A. Schwan. ' Some of the campers began to talk about moving out Saturday, and one or two got ready to leave Saturday. A few are planning to go Sunday, but the big exodus will begin Monday. Many people are expected to go to church Sunday morning, as Rev. J. G. Benson, who has made good as a platform manager and lecturer, will give the sermon-lecture. Chief Caupolican is one of the most interesting men on the platform, says Benson. He is a member of a race of South American Indians who gave the Spaniards more than they could take care of, and he has a university education received in England and France. Miss Mary Reynolds says she has only 'cut' one lecture so far. "That was Mrs. Clark's suffrage talk the other day," said Miss Reynolds. "I come from a state where we already have part suffrage, and was not interested-"

SOCIALISTS TO DEMAND PEACE; GIRLS TO ATTEND

A resolution urging peace without indemnities probably will be passed at the state convention of the Young People's Socialist league, which opens in Richmond at 10 o'clock Sunday morning. For the first time girls will attend the convention as delegates. More than 60 delegates are expected to attend from sixteen cities of the state. The convention will close Monday night. Meetings will be held in Vaughn hall on Main street. Verlan Ballinger will represent Richjnond as a delegate and said that peace resolutions will probably be voted on. The Socialist party of Richmond will meet at 8 o'clock at Vaughn hall to elect a city ticket., John Klingebiel wil preside. Boys at Gates Got Lots of Food From Kindhearted Campers Who holds the crown for donations of eats among the boys on the Chautauqua gates? The east and west gates have received far more food than the south, but the Southern boys claim the championship anyway because they got their donations on their good looks, and did not advertise or write "punk" poetry. Food received by the gate boys includes all sorts of candy and sweetstuffs, pies, cakes, soft drinks, watermelon, oranges, and dozen of other thing. A whole chicken and "enough wienies to make four dogs" are put forth by the east gate as their proudest trophies; the west claims three bottles of milk a day and two imitations to dinner; while the south rests its claim on five big watermelons and a muskmelon or so. Cardinal O'Connell Speaks to Soldiers FRAMINGHAM, Mass., Sept. 1. Cardinal O'Connell came here Friday to celebrate early mass at Camp M Ginnis, where members of the 101st infantry are stationed. At the conclusion of the service, the cardinal spoke to the men of their duty to America and civilization in the present conflict. "The head of Christendom and the leader of democracy, our holy father the pope, and our peace-loving President, are both working," he said, "for the same ultimate purpose permanent peace, and their united endeavors with God's help, will surely win. " 'The basis of all future peace must be justice, and fairness, and the common rights of mankind.' These are our President's own words; these I know to be the identical sentiments of the pope."

Suffragists Peeved Over Assertions of Mere Man Opponents INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 1 Stirred by assertions made during the recent arguments in the law suit to test the constitutionality of the Indiana woman's suffrage act, that the cost of permitting women to vote would be a burden on taxpayers, and that it would cost $6,000 or more additional if they vote in Marlon county alone, a meeting of women interested in suffrage has been called here next Tuesday. It will be held at the home of Mrs. J. F. Barnhill. Among the things to be considered will be ways .of refuting the argument of those opposed to suffarge. Among the speakers will be John A. Lapp, of tho bureau of legislative information. The women already have pointed out that among the tax payers in Indianapolis is one woman who pays more than the $6,000 a year in taxes, mentioned in the argument. They say there are many more women tax payers in the state who pay annually much more than the cost of permitting women to vote.

Ghattalkway Personals

BY ROSCOE FLEMING Some In the audience registered fear when Mr. Schutz was laughing like the devil in Mr. Gounod's piece, Mephisto. It was thought the man had suddenly gone crazy. Ed Haas and family of Richmond were in our midst for a short stay Friday night. "Have you seen my husband?" asked one of our leading better halves at the west gate. "I sent that man after water, and I believe he must have gone to New Paris." Mrs. Clara Bascom of Lynn spent Friday with friends here. Benjamin Drlschell of here went to town Saturday.

BUSINESS MEN TO FIGHT BOOST

Every business man in Richmond whose business would be affected by the proposed raise in freight rates on Indiana railroads is asked by Secretary. Albus of the Commercial club to meet Monday morning at 10 o'clock in the Commercial club rooms. The men will discuss the situation, agree on what they believe is a fair rate, and volunteers will be asked to go to Indianapolis with Albus Tuesday to attend the meeting of the Public Service commission to fight the raise. The Monday meeting was called by a gathering of several Commercial club members who met at noon Friday in the Y. M. C. A. to decide on action to be taken. Increases asked for in the rate raise from 100 to 300 percent of the present rate, and would apply on both carload lots and less than carload. A ton of first-class freight, which can now be shipped between Richmond and Indianapolis for seventeen cents, would cost over forty under the new rates, and the increases in other classes are in proportion. Knitting Supplies Are Now on Hand Announcement has been made that supplies are now on hand at the Red Cross headquarters for knitting. Sweaters and scarfs are to be knit by the Red Cross. Mrs. W. W. Gaar will take charge of supplying the 450 paire of socks and wristlets. A machine will be installed for this work. Women may call at the headquarters, receive instruction and take the work home or they may knit in tho rooms. Henry Townsend, F. F. Riggs, and George Mansfield of here were in town quite regular last week. Here's some more of Hack Finn's poetry, in which he alludes touchingly to his large family and the high, cost of living. "We had an egg the other day. We thought we were in Heaven. To make It last we scrambled it And served it to our seven." One of our leading citizens fears the black hand. He found a large chunk of wood, with the word "Beware" written on it, in his tent this morning. The worst is feared. Pity was took on one of our cops who had to lean against a tree Friday night while watching some antics being pulled off on Highland Avenu-?, and kind hands brought him a pillow to lean on. He was very grateful. ThistleClub
