# White Paper on Indian States (1950)/Part 5/Formation of Unions

Formation of Unions
125. There were several groups of States which, with due regard to geographical, linguistic, social and cultural affinities of the people could be consolidated into sizeable and viable units consisting entirely of States. In these regions, the sentiment of the Rulers and the people alike was in favour of such an arrangement. In such cases, territories of States were united to form Unions of States on the basis of full transfer of power from the Rulers to the people. A special feature of these Unions is the provision for the Rajpramukh as the constitutional head of the State who is to be elected by the Council of Rulers. This arrangement, while ensuring close approximation of the system of governance in the States and the Provinces and of the rights and liberties of the people, retains in some measure the traditional polity of the States.

From Weird Tales, Volume 1, Issue 3
HOOTCH
By William Sanford
I HAD committed murder. In a terrible fit of rage I had killed my friend, Jim McCarthy. I was going to be hung at sunrise, There was no hope. I must die.
Slowly the great steel door swung open, and four guards entered my cell. One of them stepped a little in advance of the others.
"Come!" he said, and that was all.
I rose, tottering, from my bench. I must die! I must leave the sunlight of the earth behind me. I had committed murder.
I was led through the cold, bleak prison corridors and out into the lighted courtyard where a number of people were gathered—prison officials and a few newspaper men. The scaffold stood before me, and with tottering legs I was assisted to the top.
A black cap, a horrible thing spelling death, was fitted over my head and drawn tight about my neck. All was still about me. No one spoke.
I felt the noose placed about my neck. The cold sweat broke out over my body. I could scarcely stand. Death! Death! I was to know the feeling of that terrible rope in a few moments.
"Ready!" said a sharp voice.
I felt the earth slip from under me, and I shot into space. A feeling of suffocation, indescribably terrible, enveloped me, and a million sparks of fire seemed dancing before my eyes, though I could not see, I tried to scream, but could make no sound. Then something seemed to burst; my lungs were free; I gave a terrible cry.
A voice from above came sharply down to me:
"What the devil's the matter with you, Bill?"
The ship gave a lurch and brought me wide awake. In the dim light of the cabin I saw Jim McCarthy's face peering at me from the bunk above.
"Jim," I said, wiping my sweat soaked face with the sheet. "If you fill me up on any more of your homemade hootch I will kill you!"
# Woman of the Century/Dora Henninges Heinsohn

​DORA HENNINGES HEINSOHN. HEINSOHN, Mrs. Dora Henninges, opera singer, born in Mansfield, Ohio, 2d August, 1861. Mrs. Heinsohn comes from a very musical family. She began her studies when but seven years old, both vocal and instrumental, with her father, R. E. Henninges. She sang in concerts and operettas at fourteen, and her advancement was so rapid that she soon entered the Cincinnati College of Music, where she advanced to the highest position among vocal pupils, attracting not only the attention of the faculty, but also of persons generally interested in music. Her teachers up to that time had been Signor La Villa and Signor Stefanone. Later she became a pupil of Max Maretzek, under whose guidance she began to study Italian opera. Her first appearance in opera, after having sung many times in oratorios and concerts under Theodore Thomas, was under Mapleson, when she appeared as Leonora in Beethoven's "Fidelio." Soon after, she went to Paris, where she became a pupil of Mme. Lagrange, under whose direction she completed her studies. After her return to this country, Miss Henninges appeared in German opera in the Metropolitan Opera House, New York, and in many concerts, both in the Last and the West. She possesses a powerful dramatic Soprano voice, which she uses with intelligence. Her repertory is a large one, consisting of hundreds of songs and dozens of operatic roles. In 1888 Miss Henninges became the wife of G. W. Heinsohn, of Cleveland, Ohio, and has since been devoting her time to teaching and to church and concert singing in St. Louis. Mo.
# Woman of the Century/Dora Read Goodale

​GOODALE, Miss Dora Read, poet, born in Mount Washington. Berkshire county, Mass., 29th October, 1866. Her life and literary career have been intimately associated with those of her older sister, Elaine Gondale, now Mrs. Charles A. Eastman. The story of the childhood and remarkable literary achievements of Dora is similar to the story of Elaine's early life. At the age of six years Dora composed verses that are simply remarkable, in certain qualities of rhythm and insight, for so youthful an author. She was an earnest student, and she enthusiastically cooperated with her sister in publishing a monthly paper tor the entertainment of the family. In conjunction with her sister she published "Apple Blossoms: Verses of Two Children," selected from their earliest work, (New York, 1878); "In Berkshire with the Wild Flowers" (1879). and "Verses from Sky Farm," an enlarged edition of the preceding volume (1880). Dora's verses are no less praiseworthy than those of her sister, and the achievements of these two remarkable girls, when the older was fifteen and the younger twelve years of age, set the critics of the world to work, and stirred them as critics had not been stirred by the work of virtual children since the time of Chatterton.

# Women of distinction/Chapter 50

CHAPTER L.
MRS. LUCRETIA NEWMAN COLEMAN.
A woman of good talent and refined manners, up with the age in which she lives and an advocate of sound doctrines in all matters of morality and religion, a writer of thought and ability, are characteristics of the lady whose name heads this section of Women of Distinction.
Born in Dresden, Ontario, the immediate descendant of William and Nancy Newman, her father having died while she was quite young and her mother soon following him into the grave, necessarily left much responsibility upon this lady of whom we pen these lines.
Educated very largely in the common and high schools she graduated from the scientific department of Lawrence University and immediately began the work of teaching what she had learned to others. It was about 1883 when she was assistant secretary in the financial affairs of the A. M. E. Church, having already been a store clerk and teacher in music and in the common English branches.
The American Baptist, which was at this time so ably edited by our lamented friend and brother, William J. Simmonds, D. D., contained the following, in September, 1884:
As a writer her fame is fast spreading, not only in one or two States, but throughout the United States. Should she continue with the same success in the future as she has had in the past, she will be equal to ​Harriet Ward Beecher Stowe, if not her superior. Her posm, "Lucilla of Montana," and her novel, "Poor Ben," have been very highly spoken of by competent critics and newspapers.
She has contributed some very fine articles to the A. M. E. Review, and in all matters to which she has applied herself she has well succeeded.

# Where's the Poker?

From Fables.
* WHERE'S the POCKER
* FABLE IV.
* The Poker lost, poor Susan storm'd,
* And all the rites of rage perform'd;
* As scolding, crying, swearing, sweating,
* Abusing, fidgetting, and fretting.
* 5 “Nothing but villany, and thieving;
* “Good heavens! what a world we live in?
* If I don't find it in the morning,
* I'll surely give my master warning.
* He'd better far shut up his doors,
* 10Than keep such good for nothing whores;
* For wheresoe'er their trade they drive,
* We vartuous bodies cannot thrive.”
* Well may poor Susan grunt and groan;
* Misfortunes never come alone,
* 15But tread each other's heels in throngs,
* For the next day she lost the tongs:
* The salt box, cullender, and pot,
* Soon shar'd the same untimely lot.
* In vain she vails and wages spent
* 20On new ones—for the new ones went.
* There'd been, (she swore) some dev'l or witch in,
* To rob or plunder all the kitchen.
* One night she to her chamber crept,
* (Where for a month she had not slept;
* 25Her master being, to her seeming,
* A better play fellow than dreaming.)
* Curse on the author of these wrongs,
* In her own bed she found the tongs,
* (Hang Thomas for an idle joker!)
* 30In her own bed she found the poker;
* With salt box, pepper box, and kettle,
* With all the culinary metal.—
* Be warn'd, ye fair, by Susan's crosses,
* Keep chaste, and guard yourselves from losses;
* 35 For if young girls delight in kissing,
* No wonder, that the poker's missing. 1752
