PLEAD FOR "PLEASE."

Hull House Women's Club Members
Talk on "Courtesies."
Small Courtesies" was the topic of
discussion by the members of the
Hull House Woman's Club, and some
of the aphorisms offered during the
symposium we're:
Thank you and if you please are
always in fashion.
Small courtesies are the product of
the gentle heart.
Politeness is the outward express
sion of a loving heart.
The best place to teach politeness
is in the home, for the parent repre-
sents the child's ideal of perfection.
Politeness in little things is most
appreciated, because it is usually most
unexpected. -=-' -.
One deception that is excusable at
all times is that of looking and acting
pleasant when you feel the opposite.

SUPPOSED GIRL is A MAN.
Sensational Disclosures Made at Fisk
University, Nashville, Tenn.

0CHSdI1OIldt 20 ''~A~ - WV
University, Nashville, Tenn.
Nashville, Tenn, Jan. ia sensa-
ton has developed at Fisk university,
this city, the we'll known educational
institution, the discovery being made
that one of the supposed girl pupils
was in reality man, and had been
associating with the girl students as
one of their sex. The man has been
sent to his home, which is said to be
St. Louis. 1t seems that ne had been
reared as girl and had always
thought himself to- be girl. Recent
ly, however, it developed that he was
a man, and upon the advice OF physl-
clans he had changed his garb. -.
The authorities Of the university
refuse to disclose the name OF the
man. but it Isl learned that he came
here last year from Clarksvllle, this
state, stood high in his classes, re-
turned to GAINESVILLE at the end OF the
last term and came back to the school
at the beginning of the present term
Access to students who know any
thing about the matter is denied re.

LINES, SAYS A RECENT
OFFICIAL PENNA.
ORDER.
TRAINS GOTOO FAST.
And Many Complaints Have Been
Received-Attitude Of Engin-

dent.
TRAINS GO TOO FAST.

The Pennsylvania trains which
pass through Richmond must hereaf-
ter strictly obey the order which pro-
hibits a speed Of more than eight
miles an hour within the corporation
limits, says an official order recently
posted. This order is in response to
the numerous complaints which have
been received with growing frequency
lately from residents along the tracks
and right of way of the P, c., G. &
st. L. and G. R. & I. railroads.
Despite the fact that there is a
standing order limiting the speed Of
trains to eight miles an hour while
within the corporation limits, the en-
Igineers of late have been bringing the
trains in at fearful speed, keeping up
this speed sometimes until we'll in the
onion Station, and this fast running
has caused numerous persons living
in the north end of town to complain,
fearing that some accident would re-
suit by reason of the high speed. The
engineers show a very deplorable at
titude toward the officials who have
| from time to time warned them
against the useless exceeding of the
speed limit, and their attitude close
ly tends towards an actual act of
provocation to anger of the officials,
whose warnings have been repeatedly
Idisregarded. The recent order to the
engineers to not exceed the speed linn
it will do away with the high speed
of the trains and lessen the chances
of bad accident.

Prince Philip Hohenlohe Won Schil-
hngsfuerst and party Of Germany,
who are at present making a tour of
the country preparatory to attending
the worlds fair, passed through here
yesterday afternoon over the Penn
sylvania lines en- route to ST. Louis.
The prince, who is healthy, robust,
rather short man, spent the five min
utes which the special passes in this
city by gazing around over town. In
speaking with a Palladium reporter
the prince expressed himself greatly
pleased with his trip thus far. He
said American railway conditions
were ideal, the tracks smooth, and the
trains much easier for riding than
those of most countries. He said his
attention had been most forcibly
drawn to the beauty of the country
along the Pennsylvania route and to
the evident hard working qualities of
the American farmer. The trains
themselves, notably his own special,
he said. were some of the finest he
had ever seen. the cuisine of the din
ing cars being faultless and the fur
nishings magnificent. The former
chancellor Of Germany was the father
of the prince, and in his party were
Erb Prince Won Rattibor, Prince
Erb Prince Won Ratibor, Prince
Won Hohenlohe. and Princess Won
Ratibor. The entire party strolled
through the Union Station during
their stay. The Prince and his party
will remain at the Fair until the mid
die of June, after which they will
make an extended tour of the cities
in the north, west and south of the
country.

TBRRILL CAME
This MORNING
THE BLUFFTON MURDERER AR
RIVED VIA G.. R. & I. AND
TAKEN TO EAsTHAVEN
GENERAL APPEARANCE
Limbs Are Helpless Fourth In
quest Commission Rendered
Verdict of Insanity.
GENERAL APPEARANCE

John Terrell, the Bluffton mur-
derer who has been adjudged insane
by a commission appointed for the
purpose of deciding as to his mental
condition, and whose case has at
tracted great attention in the news
papers, was brought to this city this
morning from Bluffton over the G..
r. & I. railroad and taken to the
Eastern Indiana Hospital for the In
sane.
Although Easthaven is in a very
crowded condition, a place will be
made for Terrell, since the case is one
of emergency. Terrell was accom-
panied by two men who supported
him on either side. as his limbs seem
to be useless, the men having to lift
up his feet when he entered the cab
and to push his feet from under him
when descending from the train.
Terrell is an old man, with a great
thatch of white hair, gray beard and
bowed shoulders. His eyes have a
vacant stare and he keeps
them fastened on the ground in a
piteous manner. Much sympathy was
expressed for him by those who saw
him, and the general opinion is that
he is not insane and should be set
free, rather than incarcerated in an
insane asylum, since most people
think that the provocation extended
to him from Melvin Wolfe, whom. he
murdered In 1908. was too much fol

any one.
The fourth inquest to decide his men
tai condition was held Tuesday aft
ernoon, and the verdict of the men
composing the inquest commission
was that Terrell was insane. A very
critical examination was made because
Of the Importance of the case and the
verdict should be regarded as final.
While Terrell has white hair, a
spot of black hair was found at the
back Of his head, where the scalp was
evidently sensitive, slight tap evil
IDENTIFY causing great pain. 1t was as
certained that he had twice received
injuries from falls on this spot. In
no other portion of his body was there
well developed sense Of feeling.
A later report from Easthaven says
that Terrell has been confined in a
cell and that he has not changed his
apathetic condition.
