Syracuse Journal SYRACUSE, - - IND CAPT. GODFREY’S TEN GIRLS % Nucleus From Which Was Started Famous Monticello Seminary for Young Ladies. The most interesting trip that I took during my fortnight in the west was down from Chicago about two hundred miles on the Alton road, only an hour from St. Louis to Godfrey, 111., where stands the famous Monticello seminary, founded 73 years ago by good old Captain Godfrey. In those days the highdr education of girls was deemed a useless, if not dangerous, experiment. Captain Godfrey had amassed a fortune of SIOO,OOO, and he proposed to put three-fourths of it Into a school for girls. The original building was a high, square stone structure, and the loungers around the little hamlet watched with interest not unmixed with scorn the rising of its walls. “What kind o’ cattle be you goin’ to put in that big barn o’ yourn, cap’n?” asked one of them derisively. “Girls,” answered the captain, lajonically. “The finest girls in Illinois.” “Where you goin’ to git ’em?” pursued the scoffing questioner. “Well,” replied the got ten of my own, and I reckon that’ll do to start on.”* Captain Godfrey was a warm admirer of Thomas Jefferson, and the • seminary was named for that hero’s home, Monticello. It was here that Lucy Larcom received her life impetus and here she wrote many of her most beautiful poems. After the burning of the first building in 1888 was reared the imposing granite pile in which the school is now established. A.t one end of it is an'ample and artistic chapel, in which the girls gathered »t 9:30 o’clock in the morning to hear me speak.—Kate Upton Clark, in Brooklyn Eagle. Giggling. It was bound to come. Sooner or la ter we knew the lawmaking bodies of this country would be comjfolled to take note of the crime of giggling—if It is a crime to giggle, as many people believe it is. Indianapolis has the distinction of being the first city to rec ognlze the crime, and to provide sos It* punishment, but it Is generally be> lleved that other cities will follow the lead, if that is the way to express it It seems that a councilman in Indian* spoils has introduced an ordinance to the effect that it will be unlawful for . anyone to giggle, snicker or otherwise disturb an audience at a public amuse ment charging an admission fee. That will affect about 90 per cent, of the gushy, garrulous girls and a good many of the cholly boys who have been disturbing audiences for twenty* 1 years. For, in all seriousness, there is no more annoying thing to a sensible person who visits a place oi amusement to be amused from the * ' siage than to have to endure the silly talk and kittenish mewlngs which emanate from some of these succulent youngsters who frequent the theaters. —Dayton News. Understands Word “Stung." John Barrett, director of the international bureau of American republics, now has a thorough knowledge of the meaning of the word “stung,” as it is used in a popular §ense. One of his bureau’s principal duties is to promote trade relations between this country » and the Latin-American republics. Not long ago he had a new idea. He turned to the bees of Mexico as a means of Increasing business between the United States and that country, and put out a bulletin. According to the printed pamphlet, Mexican bees were the best bees that ever buzzed. They were docile. They were affectionate. Finally, they were stingless, biteless and warranted not to sting the baby. All this Information was widely distributed among bee fanciers and honey producers of the United States. The other day Mr. Barrett received this letjer: “Dear Mr. Barrett: lam a MisRcmrl farmer, and seen where your irade bulletin said that Mexican bees are stingless. I sent to Mexico for some of these bees. You are a liar!” Scientist Couldn’t Light a Fire. Lord Kelvin, like Lord Morley, once amused a Scottish audience with a display of ignorance. At a lecture in Edinburgh, with Lord Kelvin in the chair, the Duke of Argyll was taken suddenly ill. “When the aged peer was carried down to one of the anterooms,” wrote a local paper, “one of the first things to be thought of was the lighting of a fire, and this task was tackled by the duke’s host, Lord Kelvin. But instead of placing some wood on that, in the orthodox manner, he amazed the onlookers by desperate efforts to kindle a handful of sticks at a gas burner. Ordinary mortals may be pardoned for taking some satisfaction in the fact that even so great a philosopher as Lord Kelvin does not know how to light a fire.” So They Say.

Secret of Queer Friendship

President Arthur, Republican, and Senator Vest, Democrat, Were Intimate Companions Because Both Were Fishermen. Daring the short period—a tittle more than a month—that Chester A. Arthur, as vice-president, actually presided over the senate l of the United States, he met Senator George G. Vest only casually. But during the following winter, when Arthur had succeeded to,the presidency and taken up his residence in the White House, Washington gradually awakened to the fact that there seemed to be a growing intimacy between the head of th* nation and the physically small but intellectually large Democratic toga wearer from Missouri. At least the capital made up its mind that th* two men had become close personal friends; thereafter the country was notified of the fact, and there was considerable comment here and there thAt the president, a Republican of the stalwart sort, should find a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat so congenial a personal companion. Indeed, the most Intimate personal friend that the president made public men In Washington was Senator Vest, who almost daily was a visitor at the executive mansion. Two winters before General Arthur left the White House to become a private citizen I ventured to ask of Senator Vest the secret of the friendship that existed between him and the president, adding that the relationship they sustained one to the other had always seemed more or less puzzling to many persons. ‘'Yes,” said Senator Vest, smilingly, "I know that a great many have been wondering about our friendship, but th* original cause of it is very simple and not at all mysterious. You see, shortly after General Arthur moved Into the White House it became incumbent on me to call upon him in regard to an official matter. At that meeting we discovered that we were both extremely fond of fishing, and especially of that brand of fishing that requires patience and some expertness to land a fish after it has made a game fight. We at once had a common Interest, ppposed though we are politically; from the soil of this common Interest our present-day friendship has sprung, and many a time when, I suppose, we

Allison Refused Cabinet Job

After Night of Consideration He Remembered Friend’s Comparison of That Position and a Seat In U. S. Senate. William B. Allison, the great lowan, who was elected to the United States senate in 1872 and remained therein until his death in 1908, was twice offered the treasury portfolio and twice refused it.. The first offer was made to him by President-elect James A. Garfield, the second by Presidentelect Benjamin Harrison. Each was extremely anxious that Senator Allison should consent to head the treasury department, and each, when the senator decided against accept the offer, made the late William Windom secretary of the treasury—a coincidence that is probably unique in the history of American cabinet building. When Senator Allison was asked by Harrison to become his secretary of the treasury, the lowan was not tempted to any extent to discard his toga, although Harrison was most anxious that Allison should accept and did everything possible consistent with his official dignity to let Allison know in what high regard he held him, both personally and as a public servant. But Allison’s frame Os mind was far different when Garfield urged him to fill the same post in his cabinet. Allison was never so put to it to make a decision, he afterwards confessed. Until only a day or two before Garfield’s inauguration he tried in vain to reach a decision. He was in this puzzled frame of mind when night came on, and, dismissing all Idea of sleep from his mind, he determined that he would foree himself ’to decide the question once for ail: "Shall I enter the cabinet or remain in the senate?” There were great temptations either way. There was to be a great opportunity for the new secretary of the treasury, Since very Important refunding operations were to be carried on by the government On the other hand, the senate was sure to be a great field for political .Statesmanship during the nest few

"Do you recall —of course y« do—that the president took a long trip through the northwest last July and that I was his sol* companion on that trip, at least for the entire distance? Almost everybody thought that he was taking a pleasure excursion to see Yellowstone park and to get acquainted with parts of the country he had never visited; and there was A good deal of wonder why a Democratic senator went with him. Well, the real reason for that trip was just fish, and I was largely responsible for its being made. “It oame about In this way. In April, 1883, just after congress had adjourned, the president visited Florida. Shortly after his return to the White House I called upon him and we talked until three o’clock in the morning about his experiences in the south, especially his fishing experiences. He told me, among other things, how he went off one day with a guide in a rowboat in some of the mysterious portions of Kissimmee lake, expecting to have a day of black

Evarts was Slighted by Lowell

Latter, as Minister to England, Treated Hl* Distinguished Fellow Countryman With Most Noticeable Coldness and Indifference. Against not a few of our former diplomatic representatives at the Court of SU James the charge has been mad* that they were aot altogether American in their position, in England, of minister or ambassador. Against no other diplomat was this charge made in such high station as in the case of James Russell Lowell, who from 1880 to 1885 was in London as our minister. A* - usual rule, this charge has been made by tourists, more or less disgruntled at not obtaining the impossible favors they thought due them as f*llow-cltizens of their country’s accredited diplomatic

years. It was certain that there would be tariff agitation, and some important legislation of a financial character, relating to refunding, was to be expected. All these and other arguments, pro and con, presented themselves to the senator as the night wore on. It got to be midnight, and apparently he was as far from a decision as he ever was In his life. One —two —three o’clock came and went and still no decision. The senator was almost ta despair at his inability to decide which political road to take. But as the first faint rays of returning light began to push their way above the eastern horizon, light also dawned in the troubled mind of the lowan. Allison was never given to seeking advice, but when it became generally known that he hafl been proffered the treasurership by Garfield a friend had gone to him and said: “Senator, in considering this question, you want to bear in mind one thing. A cabinet officer, no matter how able, is, after all, no more than a very high grade clerk for. the president, the subordinate executive of a particular department. A senator Is supreme—responsible only to his constituents; and you have already been in the senate long enough to realize how dignified, how independent and how responsible the post of senator is.” With the suddenness and vividness of lightning, thet>e sentences now flashed across the senator’s mind, and not long thereafter he had arrived at an unalterable determination to decline the oablnet portfolio. Eight years later Senator AlHeon was again urged to become secretary of the treasury. But this time it was easy tor him to decline the honor, for tn the years that had intervened he had arrived at the opinion that he had not mad* a mistake in refusing to leave th* senate at Garfield’s request And, so far as I know, he never regretted the choice that be made at that time.

Finally he cried: ‘lf you will go with me I will make the trip some time in July or August’ I replied that I thought I eould arrange my affairs so as to accompany him, and he answered that if he could be sure of me he would begin to arrange for the trip th* very next day.

In due eourse we started for the northwest, and there we had abundant experience and a glorious time. “I don’t like the president’s politics”—Senator Vest smiled wryly—“but I tell yon, as a personal companion and, if I may say it, as a fishing companion especially, he is the most agreeable and lovable man I have ever met.”

reuresentative in the British capital. While Mr. Lowell was minister at London, our consul general there wa* E. A. Merritt. Some years after General Merritt had returned horn* he was told what Minister Hunt had written home concerning hl* treatment by Minister Lowell, and wa* asked if he could offer any satisfactory explanation of the letter. “Well,” said General Merritt, after a thoughtful pause, “I have always had the highest respect and admiration for Mr. Lowell as a great representative of American literature and scholarship; but as consul general at London when Mr. Lowell was stationed fhere as minister T soon came to learn at first hand that the literary atmosphere which was inseparably connected with Mr. Lowell, and his associations with the great of England, caused him* to show at times a woeful lack of tact to those of his fellow oeuntrymen with whom he came in contact. I have always felt that Mr. Lowell’s conduct in this regard wa* unintentional and absolutely unconscious on his part, but, just the same, it did occasionally cause prominent Americans to feel somewhat hurt A case in point i* Senator William M. Evarts, and it is one of several Instances that came under my personal observation. “During Mr. Lowell’s second year tn London Mr. Evarts was sent as dele gate by the United States government to the important international mon* tary conference held in Paris. On hi* way thither he stopped off at London for a few day*. Then it was that 1 discovered that Mr. Evarts was one of the best-known living Americans in all England. He was especially remembered there a* the leading counsel for the United States before the Geneva Court of Arbitration, which decided the famous Alabama cases in favor of our government, and tn official circles he was also remembered as secretary of state during th* entire Hayes administration. “Well, as a result, Mr. Evarts was highly honored in London, and was the guest of distinction at two or three brilliant functions. At one of these affairs he met Lowell and was speedily astonished and grieved to discover that Lowell’s manner towards him was, as he expressed it, tactless, cool and Indifferent Mr. Evarts could not understand it, and though he at first thought he had unintentionally done something to offend Mr. Lowell, he eould not think of anything he had done to merit such treatment, not even v hen he, as secretary of state, had Mr. Lowell reporting to him as minister to Spain. And Mr. Evarts carried his gri*f over the incident with him to Paris, though later he waa consoled by the reflection that Mr. Lowell had unintentionally and unconsciously treated him as h* net infrequently treated other disttnguiubed travcfors from home. “But I must add this,” went os Gsaeval Merritt, "My own relations, personal and official, with Mr. Lowed ware estremeiy pleasant from beed*. ning to end.” (CopjrrtsUt. mml by E.

HEAR MESSAGE FROM GOVERNOR Indiana’s Chief Executive Addresses Legislators. URGES WISDOM AND HONESTY The Bribe Giver and the Too Importunate Lobbyist to Be Shunned — Change in Registration Law Urged—Would Amend the Constitution. Indianapolis.—ln his annual message communicated to the General Assembly Gov. Marshall made some Important recommendations. especially impressing upon the representatives the necessity of the exercise of wisdom and honesty In their legislation, promising that If attempts at bribery Were made and the offender pointed out to him he would see that justice was promptly done. What the governor considers defects in the- registration law are pointed out and amendments suggested, chiefly the passage of a “corrupt practice act.” He also urges that a primary election law be enacted providing, in substance, that at the time of the six months registration, the registration officers shall hold a primary election for precinct committeemen of all parties; these precinct committeemen to constitute the county central committee; and that the several county central committees of a congressional district shall meet and elec* a member of the state central committee. At this primary election all county and township officers should be nominated, and delegates to state conventions to nominate candidates for state offices and. to endorse candidates for the United States senate, should be chosen. I In the Interests of good legislation the governor would have the constitution i amended so as to provide for a legislative j session in December for the introduction and amendment of bills, and for a second session, following an adjournment until the first Monday in May, for the placing of the bills upon their final passage. A four year's’ tenure of office for pubi lie officials Is recommended, no official to I serve longer than four years In a period of eight. J’he governor criticises the present labor laws of the state, and urges the creation of an industrial court to have exclusive jurisdiction over cases arising from injuries to workingmen due to their employment. He also urges the enactment of a workmen’s compensation act. The message continues: “Should loss of life occur because of the failure of a corporation to comply with an order of any constituted authority in Indiana to repair and safeguard its equipment, prior to determination by the courts that the order Is reasonable, and should a board of directors declare a dividend during the time that the order Is being considered by the courts, each director voting for the dividend should, if the order is subsequently held by the courts to be reasonable, be punished as for involuntary manslaughter, and the state should not be compelled to prove intent. The violation of an order or rule of any corporation In Indiana whereby death occurs should likewise render an offending "employee liable for punishment as for involuntary manslaughter and the state again should not be required to prove Intent. “You should consider the laws on child labor and on the sanitary condition of workshops. I recommend that no child under fourteen years of age be permitted to work for pay and that no child of any age be permitted to labor for more than eight hours nor at night, and that no child be employed In any Immoral or extra hazardous occupation. The abolition of the offices of state factory Inspector and of state labor commissioners Is. urged and In lieu thereof, the establishment of a department of inspection, the head simply to be clerical and the deputies to be selected after a competitive examination as to their qualifications. The act creating this department should provide for the payment of an Inspection fee so as to make the department self-sustaining. The governor calls for the enactment of a twin measure which will “strengthen the present license law, divorce the saloon from the brewery. Increase the license fee and bond of the licensee, limit the number of saloons, increase the penalties. and provide for a suspension of the license on a second violation and a complete revocation on a third. I also recommend the repeal of the law which permits the organization of clubs as literary and educational clubs, but whose only object is to obtain liquor unlawfully." The revision of the corporation laws of Indiana so that no corporation can issue a dollar’s worth of stock without a dollar In money or a dollar’s worth of property going Into the corporation to the satisfaction and approval of the state board of tax commissioners is advocated, also that all transportation lines be prevented from Issuing bonds without the consent of the state railroad commission first being obtained by showing that the funds raised from the issue are to be actually used for corporate purposes, and that the sale of such bonds for less than ninety-five cents on the dollar be forbidden. I In reference to changes in the banking laws the governor recommends that it be made unlawful for a bank and a trust } company to do business in the same building or with the same set of officials; and that trust companies if they are to con tlnue to do a banking business, he required to keep the same reserve as banks are now by law required to keep and | that there be withdrawn from them the privilege of taking time to pay their depositors. The assertion also is made that the laws under which building and loan associations are operating are indefinite tfnd uncertain and should he unified. A state examination twice a year is recom- ' mended. Legislation tending to the upbuilding of the State National Guard Is asked for, the general construction of armories being urged. The message continues: "Economy In public expenditures does not mean hamperipg the work of an essentially important branch of government. Nothing Is more Important to the people of Indiana than the preservation of their life and health. Much has already been done by the state board of health: more can be done with some additional assistance. The Tuberculosis hospital at Rockville should be only an experiment station. Treatment given there can be duplicated practically everywhere In Indiana. KnowTledge of that treatment should be disseminated by the health board. The health of the public as well as the cost of living is largely affected by the use of cold storage products. You should regulate and restrict the marketing and sale of these products. There is no general standard of weights and measures in this state. You should provide a standard and affix penalties for selling or offering to sell food products or other articles of merchandise which do not come up to that standard. The state board of health should be empowered to enforce your regulations concerning cold storage and weights and measures.” <or the purpose of expediting th* ad-

ministration of Justice the governor is of opinion that the petty rivalry between the Appellate and Supreme courts of Indiana to determine precedence at the table of justidl should be ended by giving the Appellate court exclusive jurisdiction in certain cases. On the subject of uniform text books the following is said: “Many years ago, this state enacted a law for the selection of text books to be used in its graded schools. That law has given much better satisfaction than the indiscriminate adoption by county boards of education and has netted a great financial saving to the people. That law should not be repealed.” Properly to celebrate the admission of the state of Indiana into the Union the erection of a permanent monument in the shape of a public building is recommended, "rather than by some temporary celebration which will leave no trace at its conclusion. I recommend the appointment of a commission consisting of four senators and the state librarian, to report to the next General Assembly on this question and to serve without pay save for actual expenses.” Os the public accounting law the message says: “The law has given almost universal satisfaction to the people and should not be tampered with in any particular except one. That law now provides that the moneys found due the state and the different municipalities of the state shall be collected by the attorney general. This is a burden too great for his office. The act should be amended so as to provide for the bringing of these suits by local officials, giving to such officials a docket fee and providing that the report of the examiners shall take the place of a complaint. As yearly examinations of books are now provided for ana public expenditures are thus checked and safeguarded, county councils and township advisory boards should be abolished and their dutUs placed upon the board of commissioners and the township trustees.” Value of the indeterminate sentence law is proclaimed, though the governor is of opinion that the minimum sentence for burglary is calculated to make confirmed criminals of mild offenders. He says: “Ten years is none too short a time for the professional burglar but for the boy who breaks Into a building and steals a ham, ten years is much too long for a minimum sentence. I recommend, therefore, that burglary be divided into two degrees, with a shortening of the minimum term for the lesser degree." On other subjects the message says: “The General Assembly of 1907 authorized the state board of agriculture to issue $100,000.00 of bonds to erect the Colosseum at the State Fair grounds, and ordered the treasurer of state to pay these bonds out of any moneys not otherwise appropriated. Eliminating all questions of the constitutionality of this act and the advisability of this expenditure, there is a moral responsibility resting upon the state to pay these bonds. We cannot afford to avail ourselves of legal technicalities. I recommend, therefore, an allowance to the state board of agriculture for this purpose. “So extravagant have been appropriations made by preceding General Assemblies that it will be necessary to transfer to the general fund the whole of the state sinking fund for 'the year 1911, amounting to $371,631.00, in order to meet the appropriations of the last General Assembly, and this transfer will leave in the treasury on September 30th, 1911, the sum of only $17,480.88. Approximately $3,863.525.00 will be expended during the fiscal year ending September 30th, 1913, for salaries of officials and maintenance of public Institutions. The auditor of state estimates the receipts of the general fund of this state during that period of time at $4,182,000.00. Thus, there is a surplus of only $818,475.00. His estimates of receipts for the fiscal year ending September 30. 1913. is $4,265,640.00. If the salaries and expenses for the maintenance of the institutions for that fiscal year remain the same, these estimated receipts will furnish a surplus of only $402,115.00. It would be dangerous for you to make specific appropriations for the fiscal years ending September 30th, 1912, and 1913, for more than $750,000.00. A destructive fire or a public disaster might hamper our state finances. I ask of you a general appropriation act to be presented early in the session for the regular running expenses of the state and also a specific appropriation act so that if you exceed the financial ability of the state under its present tax levy, I may have the privilege of vetoing it and of placing upon you the responsibility of increasing the levy or of plunging the state into bankruptcy. I pleaded In vain with the last General Assembly touching the condition of state finances and the appropriations which It proposed to make. The house was willing to accede but the senate seemingly did not care. I hope that my recommendations will be more carefully considered by this General Assembly. "Let me call your attention to the fact that by the act which gives aid to townships for the purpose of keeping open the public schools, about $60,000.00 is now due school teachers In southern Indiana. These teachers rendered their services In good faith, and while the payment of this sum will further reduce the finances of the state, the money should be paid, but the law under which the complication arose should be repealed. “Another startling condition is that $300,000.00 of the state debt will fall due on April, Ist, 1915, and $500,000.00 will fall due on May Ist, 1915. The next General Assembly will be compelled to levy a tax to pay this indebtedness. It must not be forgotten that Indiana is not a large state. Aside from its capital city, it has no large and wealthy municipalities. It has been engaged in an era of public extravagance. Electric light and water plants, magnificent high school buildings, splendid street paving, three-mile gravel roads, centralized schools in the townships, costly public buildings, have all contributed to the Issuance of bonds by the various municipalities of this state—practically to the constitutional limit These expenditures have produced a tax levy ranging from two to four dollars on the hundred dollars, and this, in addition to special assessments for property improvements. There will come a time when state taxes, which constitute but a small portion of the burdens of the people, must be Increased or the state must limit Its benefactions. But justice to the public warrants me In saying that just now we should give the people a chance to lift some of these local burdens from their shoulders before we Increase state taxation. A people is not wise which mortgages posterity for present luxury. Permit local taxation and local assessments for property Improvement to be partially removed from the shoulders of the people before you add a single straw to their burdens. No new office should be created unless by Its creation the burdens upon the people can be lessened. All offices which can safely be abolished should be abolished, and all officials, including town trustees and city councilmen, should be placed upon fixed salaries. New boards and commissions should be shunned and the strictest economy should be practised in your own expenditures while you are demanding the same of all other officials. The industrial growth In northern Indiana will doubtless necessitate the creation of some courts, but great care should be exercised to determine the necessity to a certainty before their creation. It is not difficult to create ah office but it 1* extremely difficult to abolish It.” Reached the Limit. The last course was being brought on, and little John, who had partaken of each previous one, looked up and said: “Oh, this one will faint me away."

I spoke about how well she was looking and she said: " ‘Yes, and I feel well, too. It’s because I am drinking Postum in place of ordinary coffee.’ “I said, ‘What is Postum?’ "Then she told me how it was a food-drink and how much better she felt since using it in place of coffee of tea, so I sent to the store and bought a package and when it wa* made according to direction* it wa* so good I have never bought a pound of coffee, since.
