SOMETHING WILL
DEVELOP
In the Next Few Days, and When it
Does the Palladium Will Give
it Straight.

Nothing new seems to have devel-
oped so far, in the negotiations ex-
listing between Earlham college and
Notre Dame in regard to holding the
interstate oratorical contest In Rich
mond. Rumors have circulated to the
effect that Notre Dame would not per-
nit Mr.. Feeger, Indiana's represen-
tative. to deliver hisora ton at that
institution, and also that the Notre
Dame people would not permit the
contest to be held in Richmond. At
present there appears to be no foun-
dation for these rumors.
Something is expected to develop
within the next few days, which will
explain the actions of these two insti-
tutions in this matter.
A representative of the Palladium
is investigating this matter and 1T IS
possible the Palladium will be able
to publish something within the next
few days that will interest its read
ers very much.
Rev. Willis r. Hotchkiss, who has
been a missionary to Africa, is ex-
pected to arrive at Earlham college
this afternoon. Mr.. Hotchkiss will
address the students of the college to-
morrow morning in the chapel, and
joint meeting of the Y. M. c. A. and
Y. w. c. A. associations tomorrow
evening.

citation held business meeting last

Through Erin s Isle.
To sport awhile.
As Love and Valor WANDERED,
With Wit. the sprite,
Whose quiver bright
A thousand arrows squander'd;
Where 'er they pass,
A triple grass
Shoots up, with dew-drops streaming,
As softly green
As emerald seen
Through purest crystal cleaning,

Shamrock!

OF Bard and Chief,
Old Erin's native Shamrock!
Says Valor. See,
They spring for me,
Those leafy gems of morning!'
Says Love, NO. no,
For me they grow,
My fragrant path adorning.'
But Wit perceives
The triple leaves,
And cries, 'Oh. do not sever
A type that blends
Three godlike friends,
Love, Valor, Wit, forever!

His flowers divine,
Of thorny falsehood weed 'em!
May Valor ne'er

This is st. Patrick's s day and the
"wearin' of the green" is in evi-
dence everywhere. Mass was cele-
brated at St. Mary's Catholic church
this morning at s O'Clock and was
we'll attended.
Owing to the fact that st. Patrick
did so much good in his life the cele-
bration of his day is not exclusively
in the hands of the Irish. His noble
character and pure life are examples
worthy of emulation by all ages and
peoples. This evening at st. Mary's
hall the Ladies Auxiliary to the A.
o. Fl. will have an entertainment of
literary nature appropriate to the
day.
At s O'Clock tonight, in K. c. hall,
twenty-five candidates will be initi1
ated into the Ancient Order of Hi
bernians. The ceremonies are very
beautiful. After the initiation there
will be music, songs, speech-making,
etc.

A LEGAL BATTLE ON

A LEGAL BATTLE ON
- rrla4,is
Mrs. Lloyd Hill on the Stand-The
Court House Thronged.
After spending almost an entire
day, exhausting the special venire
and the regular jury and several 9th
ers, jury was finally selected at 3 80
yesterday afternoon to try the Ber-
tram incest case. which has been
hanging fire in circuit court for al
most year. The following gentlemen
compose the jury:
John NJ Thomas.
J. Jewett.
John Shaffer
Henderson B. Oler.
Frank NJ. Hunt
Chas. F. Williams.
Louis Hosier.
Hamilton Williams.
Howard Ridge.
Frank B. Huffman.
W. II. Cheesman.
Clayton Shaffer
One Of the peculiar things about
the jury IS the fact that there are
two sets of brothers on 1.-THE Will
liamses and the Skaters. Immediate
ly after the selection Of the jury they
were sworn IN and the trial begun.
Attorney William A. Bond opened
the case for the state by giving a
brief history Of the charges preferred
against Otto S. Bertram by his step
daughter, Eliza Alice Hill, and the
law in relation to the case. This was
explained for the benefit of the jury.
The case is one in which a mother
must face the only daughter of a
dead husband in a court room and
deny the charges preferred against
the man whom she married as a pro-
tector for the child who was then al
most an infant. @Es
There is no difficulty in the way of
knowing that Mrs Hill is daughter
OF Mrs. Bertram; for there is a strong
facial resemblance.
Mrs. Bertram and her husband sits
on the east side of the court room.
while Mrs. Hill and her husband are
on the west side. Mrs. Bertram' s
husband, Robert Delap, died when
Mrs. Hill was four years old, and she
made her home with her mother and
stepfather from the time of their
marriage In 1890 until her own mar
riage.
The first witness was the mother of
the girl, Mary Bertram. She stated
she was married to Robert Delap and
that the plaintiff in the case, Eliza
Alice Hill, was their daughter, and
she was born October 3, 1885. She
said she was married to Otto S. Ber-
tram in 1890. She was then excused.
E. M. Haas was the next witness
called. He identified the marriage
certificate issued to Otto S. Bertram
and Mary Delap as being a part of
the reerods of the court of which he
is clerk.
The plaintiff, Eliza Alice Hill, wife
of Lloyd K. Hill, was called. She
gave a history of her ra1at;ons Nth
Bertram, her stepfather, from the
time she was eight years old until the
suit was fled The evidence given
by the witness is appalling in its vile
ness, and is not only not worthy of
a place in print, but unwholesome to
listen to. 1t is corrupting, inasmuch
as 1t falls on the ears of vast num-
bers of Young "buds,'' who crane
their necks to get every word uttered.
This Afternoon.
The cross examination of Mrs. Hill
was continued by Henry u. johnson.
In answer to questions she gave "a
history of all the occurrences that
took place before her marriage. OF
her trips to Buffalo, ostensibly to at
tend the exposition, but in reality for
other purposes. She will be on the
stand all afternoon. 8 a
The court room is crowded toqsuf- :
location.

WHY THEY ARE POOR.

(Orinson Sweet Marden in Succcss)
Their ideas are larger than
their purses.
They think the world owes
them a living.
They do not keep account of
their expenditures.
They are easy dupes of
chemers and promoters.
They reverse the maxim
Duty before pleasure.
They have too many and too
expensive amusements.
They do not think it worth
while to save nickels and dimes.
They have risked competence
in trying to get rich quickly.
They allow friends to impose
on their good nature and gene
rosity.
They try to do what others ex-
pect of them, not what they can
afford.
The parents are economical,
but the children have extrava-
giant ideas.

Quinn.CurIey Robbery Case

The Qulnn-Curly robbery case
which has been uppermost in the
public mind ever since the per-
petration of the outrage, was
brought to finish yesterday by
the acquittal of the defendants.
The charge of robbery by
force was fully sustained by the
prosecution, and the verdict was
gained through some legal tech
nicality.
1t is generally conceded that the
vernict was hardly the express
sion of popular opinion, though
1t IS hoped that the young men
will have gained some salutary
effects from the trouble and ex.
pense which they have caused
their relatives and friends, and
the odium which they have
brought upon themselves.
Curly" left the state immedi
ately upon the dismissal of the
case, remarking that he had hat
enough of this town.
1t is alleged that a leading at
torneY remarked that the towr
had had enough of Curly" A
he expressed it, "A gracious
plenty"

Resolutions of Irwin County
Bar.

At the close Of Superior Court

ROANOKE.

Never has theatrical perform
ance in Fitzgerald been greeted
by so large and enthusiastic an
audience as that which gathered
to witness Roanoke, Thursday
night.
Considerable interest was felt
because the play was given by
home talent, under Mr.. Mad
docks direction, whose talent as
an actor is already we'll estab-
lished and who has now shown
himself to be an able manager
as well, and deserving of the
highest praise for the success of
the play as a whole. Mr.. W. w.
Martin, whose clown impersona-
tons has made him a familiar
figure on the stage and the street,
had in this play the new role of
villain which was quite as perfect
as any he has undertaken before
and little above the average
stage william in natural make up
and manner.
While Fitzgerald has claimed
but two histrionic artists hereto
fore, she has now discovered
several more. Miss Gertie
Keim is already a favorite with
Fitzgerald audiences because of
her musical skill but she surpris-
ed her friends and pleased every
one by the clear acting of the
name part in this play, showing
herself real actress not to be
excelled in natural grace and
animation, and in clearness of
voice and ease of manner, by
many one, who follows the
profession.
Mrs. Abrams, as good old
Aunt Dinah, was simply immense
Perhaps the most difficult part
in the play she carried it in the
most natural manner and de-
serves particular praise. Miss
Lobingier and Miss Cowe1l act
ed their parts perfectly-not a
trace of self-consciousness in
either one, though where the
performers are so we'll known to
the audience some lapses might
be expected. Mr.. Smith and
Mr.. Day characterized their re-
spective parts by good voice and
perfect adoption of manner.
Indeed, of the whole play there
is only the best to be said. The
story itself is a pretty one. The
/
stage was we'll set, and each part
creditably given. The best of
feeling has prevailed throughout,
the players treating themselves
to little social oyster supper
with Mr.. and Mrs. Pearce at
Mrs. Beck's after the play was
over.
The receipts were $115.OO, the
larger part of which goes to the
B. A. c., for whose benefit the
play was given. Mr.. Maddocks
has been asked to repeat the per-
Torrance, and may do so within
few weeks.

COLD HURTS TRADE.

Brndstreet's Reports Upon the Bust
ness Conditions of the Country.
New York, April 22.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will saw:
Unseasonably cold weather all over
the country interferes with plant prep
arations and growth and interrupts
outdoor activity in many lines, nota-
bly, building. Distributive trade, both
wholesale and retail, has practically
marked time" during the week The
effects of this and of past unfavorable
weather are reflected in reports of slow
business in shoe manufacturing and
building, while in cotton manufacture
ing high prices of raw and manufac-
tured goods continue a bar to activity.
At the South cold weather is com
planned of as interfering with farming
preparations and with plant growth.
These causes have combined to give
an air of unwonted quiet to spring
business and have unquestionably re-
tarded collections. Back of weather
and price conditions, too, there looms
up the political outlook, which in most
presidential years. has induced a ten
dency toward conservatism. While fall
trade has opened up measurably well
in some sections, there is a natural
tendency to await future developments
affecting crop and other conditions.
