Shadows Hove?' Low as Scenes Familiar Pass

Joy and Sadness Intermingle as Maiden Sisters Prepare to Leave Citv. A slight par iphrasation In the title of Arnold Rennett's novel, "The Old Wives Ta:c." to make it read "The Old Twins Tale," would be the name cf one of the quietest romances ever written and Its locale would be South Bend of 8 4 yeara ago. The Misses Emma and Mary Carpenter, who ar3 twins, and both approaching th?i.' nor.egarian decade on this earth, would be the heroines. The mose beautiful passages in the romance would be the spirit of charity and benevolence that has lately been displayed in this city in their interests. For many yers past the two simple old maiden ladies have not been fortunate In tho goods of the world. They fell from the graces of'fortune years previous and since that time have been supported by their nieces, nephews and brothers, seven In all. These relativid exerted themselves to the limit In the behalf of the elderly women and lately the Progress club, through the efforts of Mrs. Guy Hunker, magnanimously took the burden from their shoulders. lOndow niont I ii ml.

When final arrangement are made the twins will bo sent to the Methodist Memorial Home for the Aged at Warren, Ind., where they will spend the rest of their lives. Membership in the home and permanent burial expenses can be secured at the sum of $1.000 each. For purposes of sentiment at their death the bodies of both will be returned to this city and interment will be made in their family lot in a city cemtery. The added 100 was subscribed to take care of ihe removal of the bodies from tho home at Warren. The credit 1or the undertaking is assigned to Mrs. Bunker and the anonymous Samaritan who helped her, along with the business men who subscribed to raise the fund. Part of the 12.100 was also contributed by the nieces, nephews and brothers of the twins. Ciiine Here in Infancy. The Misses Carpenter were once socially prominent In tjouth Bend and to this day maintain an attitudo of the most charming courtesy to all. Mlsst Kmnvi was the organist In the now defunct Reform church, while both of the women are of a deeply religious character. The twin-; came to this city early in life and ha made South Bend their home sinre. One of the interesting features of their removal o the home at Warren will be that they will take their furniture. whl?h is now in their little rented house within tho shadow of Kpworth Memrrial church, to Warren with them.

Labor's Charge of financial mismanagement by railroad managements were declared irrelevant, visionary' and fallacious Friday when representatives of eastern roads began their closing argument before tho railroad labor board In tho wage reduction hearing of nearly 100 roads.

"The bold conclusions on the financial performance of railroads," Mr. Aronson said, "appear to be predicated to a large extent upon the novel assumption that undistributed surplus does not constitute capital. The fact that this theory is at variance with tho genesis of state and federal laws, a reflected in tax statutes, the theories of the Interstate Commerce commission and tho courts generally, indicates its revolutionary character."

International flavor is given to Peggy's latest appearance in the courts by her husband's charges that while on their honeymoon in Europe she was unduly friendly with many men in Britain and on the continent, among whom he named Maurice, the dancer, and Henri Letellier, former owner of tho Journal de Paris. Maurioo declared he danced with Peggy only as he does with dozens of other women and aj-s he will fme ! Joyce for defamation of character.
