WORK OF GAIL HOLMAN,
Example i'm Oil Portraiture From the
Brush of Pupil of William M.
Chase of sNeW York.

In the window of Ellwood Morris
e Cos. bookstore, Main street, there
is an excellent example of oil por-
traiture from the brush of Gail Hol-
man, a student of William M. Chase
of New York, who is we'll known to
Richmond artists, because of his pic
lures being shown at various local
exhibits. Miss Holmans work, how
ever, has never been seen in Rich
mond until now. She was member
of Mr.. Chases class which accompan-
led him to Europe last year, spending
several months in study in the great
art centers of France, Germany, Hol-
land, Spain and England. The por-
trait shown in the window of Morris
& Co is that of j. NJ Coe, and is a
most faithful likeness, while the tech
nique displayed is of unusual merit. 1t

APPLES LEAD THE FRUITS
INDIANA'S BIG RECORD.
All over the Fruit Belt the word is
Sent Out That the Crop is the
Greatest That Has Ever Been Pro-
duced.

That the shade of the old apple
tree is more than a song to. Indiana
farmers is shown by the 1906 apple
statistics being tabulated by State
Statistician Joseph H. Stubs. At
present fifteen of the ninety-two coun-
ties in the State have been tahulated
and the crop so far bears all indica-
lions of being a record-breaker. Some
of the counties in which the largest
crops of apples are generally found
have not sent in statistics for the
compilation yet and it is expected
that these counties will show greater
crops than their history tells of.
OF the counties from which stats
tics have been received Clay leads
with a total of 135,200 bushels to the
township. Owen County is next with
III 900 bushels. Third in order is
Bartholomew County with 109, 900
bushels. Other counties in which the
crops are large are Johnson, 80 10000;
Jennings, "a 1000; Brown, $1,000; Pike
81 800. In nearly all of these coun-
ties the crop this year has been much
larger than that of 1905. In Wells
County the increase was from 10000
bushels to 81 600. In Clay County it
was from 26,950 to 10000.

Richmond Post Office Employ
eS Know Nothing of 81
Days "OfficialIy."
AN ORDER OF INTEREST
POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT IN
CIRCULAR SENT OUT SHOWS
WHY UNCLE SANS CALENDAR
DIFFERS FROM OTHERS.

Additional information in the form
acting postmaster general, has been
received at the Richmond postoffice in
regard to the regulation that month
consists of no less and no more than
thirty days. The circular contains a
section of the act of congress of June
3, 1906 setting forth that the annual
compensation of employees in the pos
tai department shall be divided into
twelve equal insta1lments, one of
which shall be the pay for
each calendar month, and that
in making payment for a frac-
tional part of month. one-thir-
tieth of one such installment or
monthly compensation shall be the
daily rate of pay.
1t is set out in the circular that
each month shall be held to consist
of thirty days, without regard to the
actual number of days in any calen-
dar month The following rulings are
given in the circular to make the mat
ter clearer:
For fractional service in a thirty
one-day month an employee separated
from the service before the 31st re-
ceives one -thirtieth of one months
compensation for each day he works
An employee appointed during thir-
ty-one-day month receives one-thir-
tieth of one months compensation ex-
cept for the 31St. An employee absent
without pay fractional part of
thirty-one-day. months compensation
for each days absence; if absent on
the 31st one-thirtieth is deducted for
that day.
I'm such case the number of thir-
tieths as employee receives is one less
than the number of days he works
For fractional service in February an
employe receives one-thirtieth of one
compensation for each day of
the month, for which in ordinary
years he receives three-thirtiet hs,an
in leap year two-thirtieths For alb
sence without pay in February he
loses one-thirtieth of one months
compensation for each days absence:
only one-thirtieth is deducted for the
last day of the month" Many postal
employees are dissatisfied with this
scheme of payment.

CLAIM EXCESS UNLAWFUL
THE PENNSY'S NEW TARIFF
Higher Rate When Paying Cash Than
When Buying a Ticket Said to Con-
flict With the Tariffs Filed With
Commerce Commission

The pennsylvania lines West,
through its Passenger Traffic Mana
ger, has issued an excess fare Sched-
ule, which will be charged passengers
who pay their fares on the trains.
This excess ranges from five cents to
81, and many local railroad officials
believe it is illegal and will not follow
the example of the Pennsylvania.
There is to be no excess fare charged
on the Pennsy's train for local Ohio
passengers, but those travelling inter
state who have not purchased their
tickets before going on the train will
be charged extra.
1t is asserted that this excess fare
will exceed the tariffs filed with the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
therefore unlawful.

Washington. October 13.-If straws
show which way the wind blows. il
seems more than likely that the next
or some near succeeding session of
Congress Will have presented for its
consideration the que tion of the i'm
position OF an income tax. or some
sort of a government rake-off on pri-
vate fortunes. Everything that the
President has said in recent public
addresses lends color to the growing
beliefs that he will embody such a
suggestion in one of his messages to
Congress before his term expires. OF
course, before Congress could or
would formulate bill to provide
such a tax, the matter would have TO
be passed on by the Supreme Court

distinguishing feature about
the city, it is d ten to one shot he
will reply ''the trees And he would
be right. Richmond is famed far and
wide for the beauty of its trees and
the picturesque appearance they lend
to it. Our little city has been called
the city of trees and travelling
man, more poetic than the usual run
of such men, once declared that Rich
mond reminded Siim of a beautiful
park.
Suppose, however, the city admins
tration should suddenly decide to cut
down and do away with all our beau
tiful shade trees. 1t would take sever
al hundred axemen two weeks or
home to complete the job, for within
the corporate limits of Richmond are
some 1924 trees. This number
though estimated is pretty nearly cor
rect. There are on an average SO
shade trees around and in each city
block; there are altogether 1913 blocks
in the city limits and 1913 times SO
equals 17,204. That is a vast number
of trees to be growing in the limits of
a city of twenty two thousand popula-
ton.
To go on with our proposition, how
ever, suppose that after the trees
were cut down the city wanted to dis
pose of them. The average tree in
Richmond is from % to so feet in
height and about foot and half in
diameter The actual length of the
timber producing trunk would be
about twenty feet long by a foot and
and a half in diameter. This number
The Richmond palladium. (Richmond, Ind.) 1906-1907, 1906-10-14

amount of lumber used in the con-
struction of the average house in
Richmond is about 5000 feet, the city
would have enough lumber to build
527 houses. And as the average house
generally contains five inmates the
SGT houses which the city could build
would easily hold 2,635 people. The
rental of these houses would amount
at the rate of twenty dollars per
month for each, to s10,540 monthly for
the total, and to S126.4S0 per year. A
tidy little sum and one which would
help out greatly with the city's eN-
pense account.
If all the trees in Richmond could
be united in one tree it would produce
the greatest tree in the world. This
giant tree would be every bit of 1000
feet in height, and its diameter at the
base would be in the neighborhood of
$50 feet Its lower branches would
have a spread of over 500 feet from
tip to tip and would provide enough
shade to cover four city blocks. The
leaves to be in proportion to the size
of the tree would have to be as large
as bed spread. After heavy rain
fall the drops of water which would
find Judgement on these gigantic
leaves, would resemble buckets of wa
ter as they tumbled down on the
head of the unwary passerby.
Fortunately, however, it is extreme
" doubtful if the city fathers would
ever consent to the destruction of our
shade trees. But if they. should do
so they would have only one thing to
do, and that would be to build the
twelve foot fence around Richmond
to keep its citizens from leaving
their shadelesS city.
