1t Does Not Dampcn the Spirits Of

This is the French point of view.
Discomfort of any sort is for them
only the negative of something desir-
able, and SO they keep their minds on
what is pleasing, naming it to define
the absence OF it. La petite Helene and
her little brother Henri, who go to
school in the neghborhood, trot along
in the rain, the bonnie at their heels
carrying their school bags. Henri
wears a capuchon, cape with the

holds over her head a minuscule UNI

as to make the most Of the rain. I'm

Body of Handsomely GoWned
Woman Found in Lake
Michigan Friday Night.
IDENTITY is NOT FIXED
POLICE BELIEVE SHE WAS FOUL
LY DEALT WITH = EVIDENCE
THAT ROBBERY MAY HAVE
BEEN THE MOTIVE.
Publishers Press

Chicago, Sept. 22.-The handsomely
Michigan off the suburbs of Evanston.
last night, is believed now to have
been murdered for her jewelry. One
theory is that she was killed and
thrown into the lake from a mysteri-
Gus yacht, the identity of which the
police are trying to learn. strange
craft was seen off shore the day be-
fore the murder and if the crew can
be found, it is suspected that light
tragedy.
Another hypothesis is that the wo-
man was passenger on one of the
lake liners returning from a neighbor-
ing resort and efforts are being made
to learn at the offices of the various
steamship companies whether anyone
answering the victims description
embarked within the past few days
from any of the lake resorts.
A third guess is that the body was
pitched into the water from the pier
near Greenleaf avenue, Evanston.
Marks on the woman's fingers show
that she must have worn several rings
but short time before she was kill
ed and the fact that she was missing
strengthens the police story that rob-
berry was the motive for the deed.
The body has been taken to the
county mOrQIIe in the hone that nv
exposing it, it may be seen by some
one who can furnish a clue to the wo-
mans identity.

The Company will Run EIeC-
trio Cars in Addition to Reg
uIar Passenger Trains on
Several Divisions.
GREAT POWER PLANT
TO BE BUILT I'M CITY
Motive of Company in Sever
ina Contract with City for
Light Service is Deeper
Than is Indicated.

In declaring it's purpose to sever
its contract with the city of Rich
mond for lighting service, because of
the fact that 1t intends TO Immediately
build and equip an electric lighting
plant of it's own. the Pennsylvania
company has a deeper motive than
that which appears on the surface
1t is asserted that not only will
the Pennsylvania railroad company
provide the means itself to light all
street crossings within the city linn
it's, and also to light its city and
east end yards and all buildings, but
it will furnish power for the long-pro-
posed electric passenger service that
will be established between Rich
mond and Hamilton or Cincinnati, and
possibly btween Richmond and points
north on the G.. r. e L., and also be-
tween Richmond and Indianapolis. 1t
is also asserted that the Richmond
electric power plant will be only one
of several that the Pennsylvania COM
pany will establish along its lines in
Eastern Indiana and Western Ohio.
Long Under Consideration.
1t has been known for six months
that the Pennsylvania company has
contemplated this move, and early
last spring plans for this proposed ell
ectric passenger service were under
consideration in the Offices of the
Richmond a;-i-:cc c@c:als. A sched-
uIe was worked out. and other details
arranged for, not with the purpose of
Immediately inaugurating the new
fD htoI,
officials of the road.
According to information which the
Palladium has been given, the Penn
sylvania intends to put on electric
cars between Richmond and Cincin-
natl in addition to the regular pas
senger trains. Such move is con-
templated between Kokomo and And
erson and between Richmond and In
dianapolis. The G., r. & l. also is
regarded as an excellent route for ell
ectrical service. especially between
Richmond at Fit Wayne, there being
no electric line paralleling the G., r.
e. L.
Formal Notice Served.
Yesterday the Pennsylvania formal
~ notified the city that it would ter
inmate its contract with the city
plant for light service at the expira-
ton of six months and in the mean
time its own power plant will be con-
.structed- The city's light plant loses
one of its best patvons. several hun
dred dollars each month going into
the light plant treasury.
The fact that the lighting rates are
cheaper in Richmond than in any 9TH
er city in the country, indicates that
the Pennsylvania company has other
motives than simply to provide its
own lighting service for it could do
this more economically by the pres
ent arrangement than by owning its
own plant. This strengthens the be-
lief that the company is planning to
iinaugurate electric service on it's
lines.

P. w. Street, Who Left His
Home in 1849, is Heard
from in California.
CASE AN UNUSUAL ONE
MRS. E. M. RUDY, OF THIS CITY,
ONE OF TWO DAUGHTERS OF
THE MAN WHO DISAPPEARED
MANY YEARS AGO.

According to a dispatch from Ha.
gerstown, P. w. Street, who mysteri-
ously disappeared from that place
fifty-seyen years ago, and who it is
now learned joined the gold seekers
in California in 1S49, has been heard
from. He is now located at Red
Bluff, Cal
When Street left his home in Ha-
gerstown his wife and two daughters,
both infants, were left behind. Many
years passed and Street was not
heard from. He was believed to be
dead. Mrs. Street was married
again, this time to Jonathan Worl, a
Henry county farmer, who has since
died. Before entering upon second
marriage, however. Mrs. Street took
the precaution to procure a divorce
from her first husband on the grounds
of abandonment, it being impossible
for her to establish proof of his death
The two daughters grew to woman
hood and were married. One of them
is Mrs. E. M. Rudy, of Richmond; the
other, Mrs. David l.. White of Kalkas
kia, Mich.
Within the past few days a letter
has been received from Street dated
at Red Bluff, in which he expresses a
dsire to learn of his daughters. The
belief prevails that Street is wealthy
and that he intends to, as far as pos
sible, right the wrongs of more than
half a century ago. Mrs. Worl, the
first wife of Mr. Street is still living
and makes her home in Indianapolis.

STRENGTH OF CHARACTER.
1t Combines Power of VIII and
Power of Self Restraint.

1t Combines Power of VIII and
Power of Self Restraint.
Strength of character consists of two
things-power of will and power of self
restraint. 1t requires two things, there
fore, for its existence-strong feelings
and strong command over them. Now,
1t is here we make great mistake. We
mistake strong feelings for strong
character
A man who bears all before him. be
fore whose frown domestics tremble
and the children quake, because he
has his will obeyed and his own way
in all things. we call strong man.
The truth is he is a weak man. It is
his passions that are strong. He that
is mastered by them is weak
You must measure the strength of q
man by the power of the feelings he
subdues, not by the power of those
which subdue him, and hence com
posture is often the result of strength.
Did we never see a man receive q
fragrant insult only growing n little
pale and then reply quietly? This is
man spiritually strong.
Or did we never see man bearing a
hopeless. daily trial remain silent and
never tell the world what cankered bis
home peace? That is strength.
He who. keeniy sensitive, with many
powers of Indignation in him, can be
provoked and yet restrain himself and
forgive-he is the strong man, the spir.
itual hero.

Mother Ignorant

Columbus, Ind, Feb. "a
Without knowing that her son
killed d man, Tor which he serv-
ed sentence in the Michigan
City Prison, and not knowing
that his death, which occurred
two years ago, was caused by a
bullet which he fired at himself
with suicidal intent, Mrs. Justi,
ma Pfeiffer, rs years old, is dead
at her home in this city,
Mrs. Pfeiffer was a woman
whom every one loved. She
devoted much of her life to re-
ligion. She had not missed a
morning mass for years. 1t was
her beautiful and trusting nat.
ure that kept her from ever
knowing these sorrows. aud
though she knew that her son
was gone she was told that he
was travelling in the West and
could get no further East than
Chicago. where she would go to
see him when he was paroled.
After he came home and remain
ed for some time people again
discussed his trouble, but the
cause of his absence never
reached her ears, for people
loved her too dearly to tell her
the truth.
When Charles Pfeiffer shot
himself in this city, two years,
it was feared that she would
learn of the affair, but the same
interest that kept from her the
story of his first rash act
prompted the people to act
again as they had in the past
and she was not told the real
cause of his death,
That was true mercy. She
lived for years a happy life,
instead of in excruciating mis-
cry. Are you mercifulG
