those used in poker games. The men testi-
fed that they We're playing a friendly
game of cinch and that they at no time
were playing poker. Judge Whallon said

NEWTON COUNTY FIGHT
is STILL UNSETTLED
Goodland Not Entitled to Court
house, as Law Allowing Vote
Was Unconstitutional.
BUILDING IS FALLING

After twenty years of wrangling over
the question as 10 the location Of Newton
county's new courthouse and at the very
time when IL was expected the dragging
question would be settled. the residents OF
Newton county find themselves in practi-
cally the same situation as two decades
ago BY a decision handed down in the
Supreme Court yesterday, the law, under
which IL was expected the question Of the
change OF location OF the courthouse would
be settled, was declared unconstitutional
and the judgment of the white Circuit
Court. which held the law constitutional,
was reversed
The fight for change of the location Of
the Newton county courthouse has been
an Issue In the county almost as long as
the residents can remember. The Legisla-
ture or 1899 passed an act providing that the
question OF changing the site OF the court
after two unsuccessful votes the question
was finally carried In favor or a change.
GooCland was the choice Of the majority,
put the matter was taken into the courts
by the anti-GOodland faction. Under a
cnange OF venue IL was carried 10 the
White Circuit Court. which held that the
act constitutional and the change of
location equitable. The case was then
brought into the Supreme Court. which
reversed the Judgment
The point OF view from which the
Supreme Court considered the question was
from Section p. Article 4. which reads
THE General Assembly shall not pass local
or specific laws. regulating county or town
ship business" The court held that coun-
~ business has no prescribed or technical
meaning. but the law implies as much. The
entire act OF the Legislature was conse-
quently held unconstitutional on the
grounds that the Legislature would not
have passed n statute providing for a re-
location without special provision regulat-
ing the mode of acquiring the new ground
the disposal OF the old and other questions
relative thereto. and promoting the con-
struction OF new public buildings.
The evidence in the case shows that the
old courthouse In Kentland was built in
1850 and Is now so badly decayed and dilap-
idated that the whole structure shakes and
trembles when the courthouse bell Is rung.

Grand Opera House.

The attraction coming to the Grand opera house the last three nights this week with matinee Saturday is "Only a Shop Girl which made such a popu- lar hit here last season with the big audiences which witnessed it. It is a dramatization of the book by the same name, by Marie Wellesley Sterling, and bears every evidence of good judgment in the matter Of dramatic interest, while several types of characters new to the stage are introduced with realis- tic effect. The story treats of the son of wealthy father. who suffers be- cause os his love for the lowly but pure and honest shop girl; the stern old father who subsequently, confers the parental blessing on his son and fiance: a schen1ing old lawyer. an ad- ventures. a yillainous floor walker, a pert cash girl, who is always on hand to thwart evil; the persecuted shop girl and an up to date ingenue; a due fly cop, a fresh newsboy and a little waif of five years, are the leading characters who have much to do with unfolding the plot In the play the whole gamut os human emotion is depicted in such la thrilling and skillful manner as to suggest the familiar and effective style of George R. Sims, the author of Lights O London" Miss Lottie Will Hams. so much of favorite here. will appear as Josie, the Waif.'' The play is splendidly mounted scenically; one Of the four acts showing the exterior and another the interior of a great de- partment store; the Hudson river by moonlight and a great snow scene, thus making a gorgeous production that will appeal to every man and woman fight ing under the glorious banner of hon. est labor in the mighty struggle of modern life.
 The cast includes Mabel Wright, Nellie Maskell, Lillian Harris, Iona Chamberlin, William Balfour, Bobby Barry, Eugene LeRue, Arnold Alexan- der. Edward Jolly, Frank J. Kirke. Al bert Noble. R. S. Gates, Strap Hill, Master George Cooper. and chorus of pretty girls.

A TALK TO GIRLS.

knew Sophronia Tucks-only of course that is not her name. I don't think she ever moved in society, though can understand how she im- posed on the susceptible cowboy. She was generally too hard up to pay her room rent. Her life was spoiled by trying to live Bohemian style. Her husband was g man of substance, and she went on the theory, perhaps, that any husband is better than no husband at all. That explains the marriage. It does not explain the moral. I'm com ing to that.
 At 25, when I first met her, Sophronia was a sweet, modest, unaffected little woman with longing to do news paper work. much enthusiasm and some sense of hunor. I think helped her some. I know I tried to. But vanity seized her with her first partial success, and late hours did the rest. Her brown hair was artificially bleached to flax or straw She took naturally to rough Bohemianism. Cigarettes became a part of her daily life. Cocktails came next. She was never bad woman only vapid reck- less, and vain. She began to paint to hide the lines of dissipation which seemed innocent to her, and was rela- lively innocent as dissipation goes. Step by step she reached the condition in which you have seen her, condi- tion prohibitive of normal pleasure and full of moral atrophy that was bound to turn a good mans love to scorn if not to hatred.
 This example of Bohemian life is a lesson to every girl who is making her own living. and has it's meaning to all other girls. Regularity of life is as important to one as to another. And the temptation to irregularity is not confined to New York or even to the cities of America. Wherever your lot is cast. try to be always womanly In the long run, you will find any sort of
 Bohemianism too costly to warrant in
 diligence in it.-Cynthia Westover AL den in the Pilgrim

THE PURSUIT or WEALTH.
Argument For The Early Retirement
 Of Business Men.

Argument For The Early Retirement
 i, Of Business Men.
 ''Tn the United States leaders in every line of activity, in politics and business, have been conspiculously prone to die, as it is said in harness" says the Bankers Magazine "The death of Mark Hanna is case in point. But the list of those distinguished for their successful attainment of wealth and fame who have continued their activi- ties long after the advance of age and the diminution of physical strength must have warmed them of the ap- preaching end is a very long one. In the older countries of Europe, on whose civilization that of the United States Is founded, it seems easier for men who have more or less successfully attained the object they have aimed at to re- tire and enjoy freely the prizes they have gained, although even the old bararic struggle Is in many cases kept up to the end.
 Public opinion there, too, is more tolerant of those who lay off the harness before being compelled to do so by the decree of fate. In this country, how ever, there seems to exist in the mind of the ordinary man certain contempt for those who give up the strenuous paths of labor and ambition before their strength has wasted away. The successful men of the United States who have sprung from the masses are imbued with this opinion. Until with in the last 25 years the idea of retiring from active life and setting down to a life in which personal tastes and pro- clivities could be followed was re- garded as at least eccentric.
 There have always been two neces- sary steps to be taken before retire.
 ment from active life could with safe- ty be accomplished one was the &C., quirement of wealth and the other pro- vision for its safe keeping. As civili- zation progresses the second and more import step can be more easily managed. The individual no longer | has to depend upon his own effort to guard the store set aside for his future | support. The power of corporations originaly directed simply to the ac- emulation of wealth, is now to very great extent applied to it's conserva- 1 tion.
 Tn Great Britain there has always been wealthy leisure class, and naturally there has been systematiz-
 ation of the manners and customs con-
 seqent on such an association ol wealth and leisure. Public opinion is more tolerant Of a man who wishes te do what he likes with his own than il
 has yet become in the United States | The existence of leisure class able

THE SILENT DEVOTION OF THE
 JAPANESE.

Writing on Japan at War;" a special correspondent of the Outlook says:
 The Japanese glory in their country and their emperor. They glory in their army and navy. and do it in such a
 whole-souled, devoted way that the in-
 dividual is entirely submerged. To-day in one of the northern provinces of this island there lives (unless he has died
 within a year or two}, and works, as a
 with China in 1894, performed an act of
 heroic daring hardly equaled in military
 annals. Across the deadly fire zone be- tween his own force and the enemy's
 walls he carried quantity of gun cot- ton to deposit it at the gate which the Japanese were bombarding. The att tempt succeeded and he came out un- hurt-and now, by his own people at least. he and his deed are forgotten.
 He belongs to no Legion of Honor, he
 received no Victoria Cross or Distin- guished Service Order, and of course he got no pension or berth in the customs , or post-offfce.
 That kind of devotion is all but uni- versal in the Japanese army and navy, and will carry them far in the war that has now begun.
 Nor are the people at home less devo- ted or ready to sacrifice for their coun- 1 try's sake. As first step towards pro- viding the sinews of war, the govern- ment has decided to tax all government salaries from ten to twenty per cent.
 This touches every poorly paid public school teacher in the empire, and every one of the many tens of thousands of officials of the central and local governs ments. Men whose salary is more than eighty yen (forty dollars American) per
 month will have twenty per cent. de- ducted. Salaries of thirty-one to eighty yen will contribute fifteen per cent, and those of less than thirty yen (fifteen 1 dollars), the vast majority, ten per cent.
 This regulation goes into effect from
 March l. It will be accepted without murmur.

and willing to enjoy their lives ration ally and intelligently is a check on the wilder exhibitions of leisure on the part of suddenly acquired wealth. It also holds out something beyond mere money-getting as the goal of success ful life. It encourages retirement after reasonable fortune has been gained and discourages to some extent the piling up of exaggerated redundancy. The effect of a more philosophical view of life on the part of our business men will tend to a more even distribution of
 wealth and a leveling of the inequali- ties now So frequently pointed out.'

pumps is required. The confusion of
 noises in the working. grinding fabric resembles a pandemonium; the men
 grow Respondent from incessant labor
 and lack of sleep; the firing of the fur
 mace becomes almost impossible as the
 helpless craft is tossed about by wind
 and wave, swinging with terrible enl-
 phasls in tremendous oscillations; and
 as the frozen gear makes the handling of ships extremely difficult and at times
 beyond human control, they drive about
 the ocean almost like crippled hulks,
 until at last the wearied men find life
 an intolerable burden, their vigilance
 relaxes and the tireless clements obtain
 the victory.
 The conditions under which these or
 other cargo ships are destroyed by ice
 are somewhat similar. A steamer in
 traversing the Grand Banks sights
 scattered foes. which, though they in
 volve slowing down, offer no serious
 obstruction to her passage. She moves along threading her way cautiously among the glittering fragments, until a change of wind or tide causes them to pac Altogether and she Is struck by them time and again, her seams open and she speedily sinks to the bottom.
 Her crew may escape by taking refuge on the foes, but if the weather grows stormy and the ice rafts are almost in- to great accumlations, men and ship are almost certain to be destroyed. An equally frequent cause of disasters is collision with icebergs amid the fogs that constantly envelop the Grand Banks. A steel ship which hits one of these is liable to be crushed like an egg shell, unless provided with compart- Iments, and even then If the impact cimes near a bulkhead, so that two
 holds are injured, there is little hope for her and equally little if a storm as- sails her ere she reaches land. No more pitiful plight could be imagined than that of cargo boat gored by one of these icy monsters, her shattered
 prov or ruptured flank giving access to a stream of sea water which involves
 the deadliest peril to all on board, while an attempt is made to work her shore ward, though there is risk of starting her bulkheads if she is driven too fast, while the water may gain on the pumps . if the voyage is unduly prolonged f New York Tribune
