COMPANY MUSTERED OUT
BEFORE COULD DISBAND
Adjutant General Ward Orders K
of Second Regiment, Danville,
from Service.


Because of violating rules and orders
Company X. Second regiment Of the In
diana National Guard, has been mustered
out Of service and disbanded. The COM
pany was located at Danville and was one
of the strongest of the State. The men
were dissatisfied because they had not re-
ceived more money for time they had
given the company.
The order disbanding the company was
sent by Adjutant General John Ward. sup
ported by Governor Durbin. Several days
ago Adjutant General Ward heard that
Company X was circulating resolutions TO
disband and he wrote to the captain Of
the company. Joseph 3. F<inter. and asked
that the resolutions be sent him. Imme-
diately after he secured the resolutions,
and before the company could disoand Of
its own volltion, the order was sent MUS
tering it out of the service.
The complaint of the company related TO
three instances when the members felt
that they should have been paid more
money. One of these was at the time Of
the Evansville riot. when the company
was notified to be In readiness at any mo-
ment to go TO the scene. The company
claims that it was assembled two days and
should be paid for the time. Adjutant Gen
eral Ward says that they had no orders to
assemble. but were simply notified to be
prepared to enter service. Another case in
which the company complains that ii has
been wrongfully used is when II received
no pay from the State for the time spent
at West Point. KY. According to Adjutant
General Ward all the companies of the In
diana National Guard were notified before
they went to West Point that they would
not be paid by the State. They received
payment from the government and in addi-
ton all their expenses were paid. A third
complaint was because they were not paid
for two days services attached to the
funeral of General Foster, of Indianapolis.
Adjutant General Ward said last night
that the company has been treated exactly
as all other companies of the State. More
money, he said, has been spent this year
on the Indiana National Guard than ever
before. While attending the State en-
campment the troops received double pay.
They have received in all from the State
$4,000 and $4,000 from the government,
while in addition approximately $1,000 was
spent on the Indiana soldiers at West
Point by the government Besides this sum
of $4,000 paid the Indiana soldiers they
have all received new rifles and uniforms.

POPE Plus DOES HONOR
TO AN INDIANA AUTHOR
Sends for Harrington, Who Is in
Rome, and Expresses Appre-
citation of His Works.
INCIDENT OF FATHERS

The distinct honor OF receiving warm
praise and commentator of his work from
Pope Plus X in personal interview with
the Indiana author, of this city, who has
been abroad for several months and who is
spending the winter in Italy with his wife
and parents.
Friends of Mr.. Harrington in this city
have received letters from him in which
he speaks of the audience which the Pope
granted him several weeks ago. The Pope
heard that Mr.. Harrington was in Rome
and sent for him. In the conversation that
took place between Plus and the Indiana
author the former told his visitor that he
had read his "Beaucaire" and Gentleman
from Indiana" with the greatest interest
and enjoyment.
Another noteworthy instance showing the
recognition given Mr.. Tarkingtons work
abroad came under the personal observation
of the authors father, John S. Harrington.
The latter called while in Rome on Father
Hubbard, who is personal friend of Bishop
Chatard, of this city. AS the American
visitor entered the room of the priest his
attention was attracted by a large portrait
of the Indianapolis bishop hanging on the
wall of the room, while directly under 1t,
on the table were two books copies of
"Beaucaire" and THE Gentleman from In
diana" AS the visit from the author S
father was an entirely unexpected one, the
arrangement of the books was not premed-
itated, so that the whole incident struck
Mr. Harrington a most happy tribute to
the esteem in which the work of his son
was held.

SHOULD Be AN OPTIMIST
BUT NOT "GOOD FELLOW
Ideal County Superintendent Dis
cussed at Annual Meeting of
the Officers.
MANY PAPERS
READ

The County superintendent Association
met in the Supreme Courtroom at the State
House at ? clock yesterday afternoon, and
will meet again this morning at 9 o'clock.
The superintendent are sort of advance
guard for the teachers. Superintendent
Roby, the retiring president of the associ-
alton. in the chair. Devotional exer-
cises were conducted by II. b. Brown, who
is at the head OF the Valparaiso Normal
School superintendent Rankin, the new
president. made brief inaugural address.
Three papers We're given during the after
noon. The first was by Superintendent Men
denhall, of Decatur county. He character
lied the ideal county superintendent. His
ideal official in this capacity is not car,
for he respects the rights of teachers. He
is not continually striving for popularity,
and is not good fellow a of
wax. He is an optimist, and has an inspir-
ing effect on the teachers. He is also con-
scious of his shortcomings. He is well ac-
quainted with his teachers, is free from
affectation, and his work is characterized
by sincerity and earnestneSS.
Superintendent Mcknight, of Benton
county, discussed this paper. His ideal
superintendent must be pure in character,
laW-abiding man, and must be possessed OF
common sense. Superintendent Clerkin, of
Jennings county, took part in the discus
sion, emphasizing the points touched in the
paper. He would have a superintendent
kind and sympathetic, and would not have
him hasty in judgment. He should be
good judge OF human nature and an indus
trlouS student. Superintendent Huyett, of
Wells county, also emphasized the paper.
He made the special point that the super
intendent should be clear and definite in
giving instructions.
The second paper on the programme was
by George II: Tarpy, of Whitley county
who discussed the Waste in the Rural
Schools" He declared that the school ma
chine is the greatest invention of the
Yankee. He held that the county superin-
tendent wastes time in visiting schools in
discriminatory. and should only visit those
schools where his services are absolutely
needed. He favorS a consolidation of the
district schools of a township, and points
out that the best school should be located
in the center of the township. Much time
Is lost, he held, by the employment Of in
competent teachers. He suggested that
there Is too much of tendency on the part
of pupils 10 make things easy. Students
cannot learn arithmetic by play, and neither
can they master history without work.
The third paper OF the afternoon related to
the conduct of teachers Institutes on the
departmental plan William F. Byrkett, of
Henry county had this topic. He advocated
tutes, and gave superintendent the ad-
vantage of his experience in Henry county.
His plan is to divide the work OF the insti-
tuteS into departments. For instance, he
has a department for those teachers who
are doing Juvenile work. He placed special
stress on the selection of institute instruct
OrS.

MINISTER'S DIFFER.
Lively Argument in Discussion of
Repentance at Meeting.

at the meeting of the Christian ministers
yesterday there was lively discussion on
the subject, "Sin unto Death" A paper
was read on the subject by Rev. r. o.
Moore, who maintained that sin unto death
was sin that killed spiritual life. Excep-
tion was taken TO this opinion by Rev D.
r. Lucas, who held that the phrase meant
sin punishable by physical death He de-
clared that man who committed such a
sin was doomed and there was no hope for
him in prayer. This created heated dis
cussion by those who thought that there
might be repentance. 1t was generally
agreed that there was no hope for those
who sinned unto death. but just what this
sin was could not be made clear.

matter to receive attention at the
hands of the magnates is the foul

much discussion during the past sea

the National will appoint a commit

principal topics discussed by the
convention. The constantly increas

York City keeps extending the area

a part of the tactical fluid which finds
it's way into the metropolis. Cen
trail New York and northern New
York send thousands of gallons dat

railroad trains over 440 miles. and
still the supply is not equal to the
demand.
