HABICHS CHAMPIONS
OF AMATEUR LEAGUE

The amateur game last night was one OF
the swiftest in this seasons series, not
withstanding the one-sided score. The
Habichs defeated the Kahns by score OF
to l. The tailors were greatly weakened
by the absence of Sampsell. The defense
of the Kenworthy brothers for the Ha-
bichs was exceptionally strong and Warm
ana Frost were swift on the rush line. The
game gave the Habich team the undisputed
championship of the Commercial League.
Giffin played a strong game in front of the
cage for the Kahns. Lineup and summary:

KOKOMO, Ind. March 29.-Kokomo won
from Terre Haute tonight by score of
to 0. The clever team work of the locals
and their success in breaking the combina-
tions of the visitors is responsible for the
one-sided score. Harkins played first rush
for Terre Haute in the first period, with
Hipson on the line in the second and third.
Hayes was succeeded at half back in the
second period by Hardy. The game was
very fast and clean. The individual work of
Houghton and Hayes was superb. Lineup

ASKING QUESTIONS.
The Art of Interrogation should BE
Devoid of Impcrtincnce.


"Do not ask questions is the worst
piece Of social advice which age can
give to youth A man who never asks
questions is the dullest fellow in the
world. He had better ask too many
than too few We can defend ourselves.
against curiosity, but no armor avails
against Indifference. We must resign
ourselves to be bored to death.
What is the secret of the art of in
terrogation? Putting aside quick sym
pathies, which lie at the root of every
social art, we believe the most essen
tial quality for those who would excel
in it is directness. The art of asking
questions SO as to learn, Instruct, please
and influence is not The art of beating
about the bush. The questions which
offend and silence are the questions
which suggest some Interior motive. 1t
is a found out scheme which makes
men angry Anything Of the nature
Of a trap keeps us on orr guard. Il
we once fail into one we resolve it
shall be the last time. Suspicion kills
confidence IntolTogative hints are ut
terly useless. The average man does
not dislike to be- questioned He hates
to be startled crossed, interfered with
reproached, woaried or betrayed. He
hates the questions which are not ask
ed with simple intention.
There are questions which are asked
not because the asker wants to know.

GRACE In Old rorests.

Some trees are more graceful than
Others The elm and oak are noted tor
their perfect and graceful form All
their branches appear TO be perpetually
moving, stirred by every wind that
blows, and the same may be said of
the pine. The graceful movements OF
its limbs the signing sounds of it's
stems and evergreen needles, send forth
solemn symphony Everything con-
tributes serene grace and simplicity to
old forests.

NEW CASTLE, Pa, Oct. William
Robinson and Claude Wilson of Pu-
laski were arrested here on the charge
of burglary. The arrests were brought
about in a peculiar way. When some
guns were stolen suspicion at once fell
upon the two men. Some one suggest
ed the idea of getting an expression
of public opinion on the matter. A
ballot box was provided and citizens
dropped in a ballot having on it the
names of the men whom they sus-
pected. When the votes were counted
Wilson and Robinson had swept the
field. no other names than their own
appearing in the unique election. This
led to their arrest. A search of their
premises revealed the stolen guns and
several hundred cans of fruit and other
plumber. r

Senator Hoar's Death Subject
of Profound Regret.
DIED IN MASSACHUSETTS, SERVICE
ga Great Statesman Has Gone From
U.s." PrOclnims Governor Bates.
Gle Won Respect of the Ma
tiOn as q Sincere Man."

BOSTON, Oct. News of the pass.
ing of Senator George II. Hoar, although
long expected, was received with great
regret by all classes of citizens. In
politics he had no enemies in this state
and Democrats were not behind the
members of his own party in paying
tribute to his worth.
Soon after daylight the flags on the
statehouse were half masted, and later
similar tokens of mourning were dis
played on the city hall and other build
ings throughout the city.
Upon learning of the death of Sen
ator Hoar. Governor John L. Bates at
once issued the following proclamation
to the citizens of the commonwealth
of Massachusetts:
ut becomes my solemn duty to an
ounce the death of our senior United
States senator, George Frisbie Hoar.
who died at 1:35 a. m. on this day at
his home in the city of Worcester.
"a great man has gone from us. He
lived and died in the service of Massa-
chusetts. Five times he was commits
stoned by this commonwealth to repre-
sent her in the highest council chamber
in the nation, and under those COM
missions he served longer than any
other man who has represented this
state. The character of that service
may be measured by the highest stand
ards, and it will not be found wanting.
1t made him a national figure for a
generation. BY great abilities and un-
swerving rectitude he won the respect
of the nation and established himself
in the hearts of his fellow men. They
gladly honored him because they be-
deep learning, an orator of impas-
stoned power, but, above all, a sincere
man, wholly devoted to conscience,
hewing close to the line, s%corning the
arts of the demagogue, not anxious to
please, but to serve them, not seeking
to be popular, but determined to be
right. Intensely conscious of the loss
our state has suffered, we find even in
the hour of extreme sorrow q great
cause for qualification in that the rec
ord of his noble life will ever remain to
us as a precious legacy.
SIN recognition of his eminent serv-
ices it seems fitting that the state de-
%partments be closed on the day of his
funeral, that the flags throughout the
commonwealth be placed at half staff
and that our citizens by such other ap-
propriate methods as may suggest
themselves express their respect for his
memory"
