INITIATE A GLASS OF ABOUT
THIRTY CANDIDATES.
IN THE FIRST DEGREE
The Work Most Successfully Put on
by the Home Degree
Staff.


Yesterday was not the kind of a
day one would select to parade the
streets, but the Knights of Colum-
bus made a good showing, when
about one hundred and fifty men
marched from their hall, corner of
fifth and Main streets, to St. Mary's
Catholic church yesterday afternoon
to attend vesper service, preparatory
to the putting on of the first degree
at their hall.
There was no special service at the
church, save the simple vesper serv-
ice and the solemn "Way of the
Cross" and the singing of "Stabat
Mater" by the choir and congrega-
ton.
After services at the church the
candidates and members proceeded to
the K Of c. hall, where the work
was put on.
The class consisted of about thirty
persons, and the conferring of the
first degree occupied about one and
half hours, and was most impress
sively done.
The other degrees will be admin
istered later.

Another matter to be considered is
the bringing of suit to test the con-
stitutionality of the act of 1903 ex-
tending the terms of certain county

POLITICAL
State Committee Meeting Friday
Harry G. Starr Will Likely
be Member.

A meeting of the Republican state
committee will probably be held on
Friday of this week. The call has
not been issued, but will, it is un-
derstood, be sent out Tuesday by
State Chairman Goodrich.
The question as to the advisability
of moving the offices of the commit
tee from the Stevenson building to
the English hotel will be taken up,
and it is understood that the change
will be made.
1t IS also probable that the date
for the state convention will be de-
termined at this meeting. It seems
to be matter Of general agreement
among Republican leaders that the
convention should be held during the
third week in April, approximately

The novels of reform were repre-
sented by the writings of Mrs. Stowe,
Kingsley and Tolstoi. "Uncle Tom Is

length. 1t is regarded by the speak

1t has not yet seen its day, as
many novels, written under similar
circumstances, have. This is because
1T possesses a great moral quality
that insures its life.
The speaker closed by saying that
the novel has a strong place IN edu-
cation because it brings us in close
touch with life, because it is a de-
velopment from the outside to the in
side Of life, because it is a transition
from the body to the soul.
.Today we study and reflect and
do not dream our lives away. We
are all romanticists; all wandering to-

MRS. RUTH
MORRIS KERSEY
Addressed the Pedagogues on The
Novel in Education With Char
acterization of Novelists and
Their Novels.
(By w. A. Fiske.)

At the afternoon session of the
Wayne County Teachers association
at the high school on last Saturday
Mrs. Ruth Morris Kersey, of the Chi
cago kindergarten school, delivered
very interesting address on "The
Novel in Education. =
She discussed at some length IN
the introduction of her subject the
prevailing bad habits that exist
among the general reading classes,
and thinks that they are due to the
conditions of our lives and that we
can not reconstruct our habits of
reading until we first reconstruct our
lives.
We, Furthermore, do not see the
full and true meaning of books, the
cause of which is due chiefly to the
hurrying and scurrying methods we
employ in reading them.
''Only few years ago young peo-
ple,'' the speaker said, "were mot
permitted to read novels. If boy
or girl should be found with such a
book, the boy had the book taken
from him while the girl was sent to
bed.
""Yet. Notwithstanding this former
opposition, the novel has pushed its
way to the front until, at present, 1t
occupies a place of great promin-
enee.'
This. the writer regards as being
caused by the fact that, of all forms
of literature, the novel is IN close
touch with life, and deals with forms
that are near to us.
The speaker referred to the var
ious waves Of influence that had
passed over the realm of thought.
The first was the earlier wave in
volving memory, the second the Pes
talozzian wave, which considered per-
ception as the fundamental idea,
third the Herbartian wave, which in
duded both memory and perception,
thus constituting apperception,
fourth the child study wave was ush-
cred in, and lastly the social wave,
the one which IS upon MS now.
.'In this social wave" the speaker
slid, Giles the opportunity of the
novel
''The novel takes up the social
problems and the social significance
is its main feature.
every fiction dealt with things
Imaginary, things at distance and
in no way connected with the reader
4 1t Is not so now, but it deals with
things near at hand and of vital in
terest TO the reader.
The speaker presented very in
teresting classification of the novel
The writer's of character novels were
represented by Goldsmith, Jane Aus
in, Charlotte Bronte and Hawthorne.
The principal production Of each
SI these writers was discussed to IL
ustrate their characterizations
The historical novelists were Scott,
Dumas, ,Bulwer, Ebers and Thackeray
Scott = style was represented by

rays by "Henry Esmond."
Scott's theory was that the facts

SUNDAY FIRE AT THE PLANT
OF CHESSMAN & SCHEP-
MANN,
CAUSED BY BOILER
Becoming Overheated, Setting Fire to
the Structure and Spreading
Rapidly.

The usual quiet of the Sabbath was
disturbed yesterday afternoon by the
ringing of the fire bells, calling the
department to the green houses of
Chessman & Schepmann, on south
ninth street.
The fire was noticed a little after
1 o'clock, when the alarm was sent
in, and it wasn't long until both de
partments were fighting the flames,
which were rapidly cutting the beau
tiful hot houses and destroying the
plants in large numbers. It looked
like shame to see those lovely
flowers devoured by the seething
flames. It seemed that the fire should
at least be touched by the beauty of
the scene and spare nature chois-
est gifts-fowers. But, alas! such
was not the case, for what the flames
did not devour they exposed to the
chilly weather and the plants dropped
their heads as if ashamed to be
The fire departments were on the
scene early and worked hard to save
the houses and the plants and sue
ceeded to greater degree than was
anticipated.
After the fire was eXtineuished the
work of saving the plants and flowers
that were left without shelter began,
and the remainder of the afternoon
and on into Sunday night was taken
up with this work.
Mr.. Schepmann S Story.
We saw Mr.. Omar Schepman this
morning, and he gave us the follow
ing information about the fire:
" Sunday, just before noon, I went
through all the green houses to look
at the thermometers, and also went
into the boiler room to look at the
boiler. / found everything in good
shape and went home to dinner, and
was greatly surprised to receive word
about 1 O'Clock to receive word that
our green houses were on fire. AS to
how the fire originated, we are not
able to say, only that the whole af-
fair IS a mystery to us. We had
eight green houses and six of these
will be total loss. The two re-
houses are damaged, but we
will be able to save most of the
plants in these houses. As to our
insurance, I am sorry to say we car
ried but $1,000, while our total loss
will be between eight and nine thous-
and dollars. Our friends have been
very kind to us since our great loss,
our brother florists, who
have done all in their power to as
sist us in every way possible. They
have been working with us since the
fire and helping us to save what we
ean. As to future plans we have
none and haven't had time to con-
slider the future. The present now is
for us.
