Weeds Have Been Removed-An
Is Plain Sailing.

Fully thousand youngsters took their
initial swim of the season at The Bath
ing Beach, which was thrown open by
Superintendent Stevens. this morning at
10 o'clock There was a steady stream of
Juveniles TO the resort all morning; news
OF the opening having Travelled fast
At o'clock this morning a dozen or
more women visited the beach and took
a few dips The water was high and
cool and the women remained in it but
a short time.
Superintendent Confident
Superintendent Stevens says he an
ticipates the most successful season in
the history of the beach this year. More
than $1,000 has been spent in improving
the resort. and the place looks so diff
ferent il would scarcely be recognized
by anyone who was there last year. Ac-
cording to Superintendent Stevens there
is not a bit of sea weed or grass in the
bathing beach. which covers ALI Of wha
l. known as ''the little basin" Sea weed
and grass were the chief drawbacks last
year Tine grass and sea weed scratched
the bathers and tangled around their
limbs so that diving and swimming was
almost irnpOSsible

He Had AIrendy eft"

81 know a western Kansas town
where the rules of etiquette are purely
upon a logical basis" said q man from
the short grass country the other day.
THE daughter of the hotel keeper at
whose hostelry l was living was to be
married. I received an invitation. AT
about II O'Clock in the evening the
wedding supper was spread. An old
lady came down the table side, passing
the viands to the guests. When she
reached my plate she skipped me and
began again with the next man. The
old lady had seen me eating my sup
per as usual at 6 o'clock.
"'Youve et,' she said as she gave
me the go by. Things began to look
dubious for me. Then an old man
came along with more food. He also
had seen me eating at the usual even
ing hour. He SHE'D around ME with a
look of surprise that should be at the
feed rack again and said, Why, you've
et'
Everybody had been Saving up for
the occasion so that they might eat like
heroes at that wedding feast The fact
that had not been missing any meals
nearly ostracized me in that happy
gathering. "-Kansas City Times.

Herbert Spencer.

A queer instance of the working Of
Herbert Spencer's mind is mentioned
by the two sisters in whose household
he lived. He came to the table one day
absorbed in thinking about some pho
tographs Of the nebulae he had just
received:
"As he rose from his chair he stood
for minute gazing with cleaning eyes
into the distance, and then muttered in
q disjointed fashion, as If half to him
self, words to this effect: Thirty mil
lions of SUNS, each probably having its
own system, and supposing them each
to be the size of pins head they are
fifty miles apart, What does it all
mean? And then, without a pause
and only a change of voice. The fluff
still comes out of that cushion, you
know as with a wave of his small,
thin hand toward it he passed rapidly
out of the room. leaving us both be-
wildered by the quickness with which
his mind worked"

The Fate of Cities.

Some ancient cities have disappear
ed. The archaeologist digs through the
sands of the desert, the Accommodations
of vegetable mold and the debris Of
human habitation in a search for the
palaces of great kings, the markets Of
wealthy traders and the homes Of a
once numerous people. The massacres
Of ancient warfare may explain some
Of these dead and buried cities. The
inability Of people in early history to
deal with the sanitary problems Of a
congested population may have been a
contributing cause to their destruction.
Cities may have died because their
people could not live. But in most
cases a change in the routes Of COM
MERGE will be found to have diverted
the stream Of nourishment from a city
and left it to die Of starvation. Yet
the Eternal City and Athens, Byzan-
tium, Jerusalem, Antioch and Damas-
Gus illustrate the tenacity of munich
pal vitality, even though long sue.

changes in the methods and subjects

MACARON| IS HARMFUL
CHEMICALS FOUND IN IT
State Superintendent Of the Depart
ment Of Hygiene, Calls Attention to
People of Indiana to a Circular Let
ter Issued by Chief Chemist Wiley.
Palladium Special. I

Indianapolis, May 22.-Dr. T. Victor
Keene, superintendent of the State
Laboratory of Hygiene, is calling at
tention to a circular that has just
been issued by H. w. Wiley, chief Of
the Bureau of Chemistry of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture,
regarding the dangers that Turk il
imported macaroni. The circular
reads as follows:
inspection of recent importations
of macaroni, noodles and similar pro-
ducts has shown that these goods
sometimes contain chemical preserva-
tives, such as fluorids, which are re-
garded as injurious to health. A
small amount of coloring matter is
also frequently added to macaroni.
1t appears that Martius yellow is Of
ten used for coloring these products.
This substance is held to he in
furious to health and is so classed by
the laws of several European countr-
les, especially Italy, which has deere
edthat, among other colors. Martius
yellow (dinitro yellow, naphthol vel
low, Manchester yellow, saffron gel
low and gold Yellow must not be
used in the preparation of foods. In
view of this fact no importation of
nacaroni colored with Martins yellow
or other colors forbidden by the ltai-
ian law, or preserved with fluorids or
other preseryatiyes injurious to
health, will be permitted after June
1. 1906, and all importaticns of maca
conf which contain any permissible
coloring matter must be labeled
with the words 'artificially colored.
DR.. Keene is arranging to begin a
thorough examination of the macaro-
nj and noodle products that are sold
in Indiana for the purpose of ascer-
tanning their food qualities and their
pRity.

SETTLEMENT IS
BROUGHT ABOUT
The End of a Rather Sensa-
tional Episode in a Friends
Church.
THE CASE WAS UNUSUAL.
OUTBREAK IN BLOOMINGSPORT
REVIVAL MEETING PREciPITAT.
ED THE TROUBLE ACCUSED
ADMIT THEIR GUILT.

The elimination of recent and rath-
er sensational affair that occurred
during the progress of series of re-
vival meetings held in the Friends
church at Bloomingsport, Randolph
county, has been the formal admis-
sion of wrong doing on the part of
the persons concerned and also their
signed agreement to not renew the
contention.
Bloomingsport is situated two
miles north of the Wayne county
line and is a community that is larg-
ely made up of the Friends. During
the latter part of the winter and
early this spring revival meetings
were held in the Friends church and
they were under the care of Levi
Lupton, Friends minister from Ohio.
The Rev. Mr.. Lupton's methods Of
bringing converts to the altar were
unique and were at the time alleged
to be rather sensational in character
There was a division in sentiment as
to the manner in which the Rev. Mr..
Lupton conducted the meetings and
while many sought to criticise him for
his pronounced utterances against Sc
cret orders and also against men who
used tobacco, there were others who
upheld him. One day last March
while James Reece, a well-known
Friend and a man of standing in the
community, was at the altar, he de-
clared his inability to rise, asserting
that he was in a kind of a trance.
Reece asked that Elkanah Osborn, a
minister of the Friends church be
sent for, stating that he had had diff
ference with him and believed that
until this trouble was settled he would
not be able to rise to his feet again.
The Rev. Mr.. Osborn was sent for and
upon his arrival he was Immediately
charged with the writing and circu-
lating of a pamphlet which tended to
criticise certain religious forms and
which also made a defense of secret
orders. Before he could leave the
church, it was alleged that he was
rather roughly handled, though not
James Reece w. A. Benbow, Ola
Johnson, and Vina Cain were charged
with having committed assault and
battery upon the Rev. Mr. Osborn and
the cases were to have been heard
yesterday before Squire Chenoweth
at Bloomingsport. All the defend
ants are we'll known and all are repu-
table people and members of the
Friends church. 1t develops that
when the story of the affair reached
the ears of officers of the Indiana
Yearly Meeting of Friends, steps were
taken to end the contention without
recourse to the courts. The Difficult
ties have been adjusted and the fol-
lowing is the document which testi-
fees that the difficulties are at an end:
I'VE, the undersigned, ak Elkanah
Osborn's pardon, wherein we have
hurt his person or reputation. We are
sorry and in the future are willing to
Ileave him in the hands of God. We
further agree not to bring up the trou-
bles of the past.

At THE THEATERS
Vaudeville at the Phillips.

Perhaps no performers who have
ever been at the New Phillips in vau-
deville, have received a more cordial
greeting than Charles and Minnie
Burroughs, who are real headliners
Not only do they put on comedy
sketch, "A Domestic Blizzard" that is
a big hit, but they also have a large
amount of comedy and first rate mu-
sic besides. Call after call is made
for their temperance. Miss Alice
Hamilton, character artist, has made
good, which in vaudeville, the same as
in everything else, is significant
term. A performer usually makes
good without much delay or falls fiat,
as the audience soon finds just what
he or she can do. Miss Hamilton, to
say the least, is very clever. There
is much else on the bill that makes
an admission fee of ten cents a ride
ulously low price. 1t Is a great deal
more and better than. many cities give
their patrons.

and most of the time laughing. EESd
Wykoff and Company, in their rival
comedy, plain Folks" have an act
that cannot fail to please and it is
almost like a snatch from Way Down
East" so well are the parts taken.
Manager Swisher has changed his pro-
gram so that the motion pictures now
come about the middle of the bill and
the Wykoffs close it. 1t is believed
to be good plan to have theepictures
come earlier in the program. Mana
ger Swisher probably will soon ar
range for a double performance at
night. Since the advent of the warm
weather, there are many people who
can not attend the vaudeville as early
as eight o'clock and for such, later
performance will be put on. This
plan was popular last season.

DISPLAYING OF SIGNALS
DEVICES MUST BE ATTACHED TO
RURAL ROUTE BOXES THAT
WILL TELL WHEN MAIL is DE-
POSTED.

Postmaster Surface yesterday re-
ceived a circular letter from the post
Office department at Washington
which promulgates a new rule rela-
tive to the rural service 1t refers
to the displaying Of signals on mail
boxes when mail is deposited bv the
patron or by the carrier. The order
reads as follows:
To Postmasters:
On and after July 1, 1906, patrons
of the rural delivery service will be
required to display signals on their
boxes when they leave mail in them
for carriers to collect, as, after that
date, carriers when serving their
routes, will not be required to open
| and examine any mail boxes except
those to which they have mail to de-
liver and those on which signals are
displayed to indicate there is mail fsr
carriers to collect.
Those patrons whose boxes are not
provided with signals must attach
played, will plainly show passing car
riers there is mail to be collected. II
is not necessary that such device
| shall be either complicated or costly;
very simple arrangement will ans
wer the purpose.
Carriers must lower the signals or
boxes after making collections, pro
vided no mail is left therein: and
must display the signals whom they
deposit mail for patrons. unless the
! patrons have made request to The
contrary.

MORE CLASS DAYS.
The Supreme Court Rules that Sa
looms Must Shut up on Three
Additional Holidays.

A decision rendered last Saturday
by the Supreme Court will be of in
terest to local liquor dealers as the
highest court held that Washington's
Birthday. Memorial Day and Labor
Day are legal holidays in every sense
of the term and that saloons must be
closed upon the three named days in
addition to the other legal holidays.
The case was appealed upon the
grounds that the three days were con-
sidered legal holidays only so far as
negotiable instruments, such rs
checks, notes, and other documents
are concerned, but according to the
ruling the question as to opening sa-
looms on Washington's Birthday, Mem
orial Day and Labor Day is definitely
settled and all salosnists will no doubt
obey orders and avoid trouble.

Sometimes the rigors of patent office
procedure are not without their humor-
Gus side. A New York attorney fled
an application for improvements in a
centrifugal pump. The patent office
declared the invention imperative and
demanded working model. The pat
emit Office was requested to send an ex-
aminer to Trenton to inspect the ma
chine in actual operation. This the
patent Office refused to do. The at
torney, therefore, politely sent a seven

moreover, from Trenton to satisfy a
