CITY GRANTED A CONTINU-
ANCE IN SUIT BROUGHT
BY F. CLIFFORD.
A STRONG WITNESS ABSENT
Elk Clerk Winder Could Not Be
Present at Greenfield Yester-
day-Other Witnesses.

The case of Fremont Clifford VS..
the City of Richmond to recover
$4,000 in fees, which he claims to be
due him for his services in placing
on the tax duplicates certain seques-
tered property, was called in the
Hancock County Court at Greenfield
yesterday but owing to the absence
of J. Fl. Winder, witness for the
defense, the case was continued until
May Z.
Mr.. Winder, who now lives west of
the city, was city clerk at the time
that Clifford claims to have done his
work and he is very valuable to the
city as a witness. Owing to his i'll
ness he was not able to be present
and the attorneys for the city, A

CITY BUYS MUCH WANTED
LAND FROM LIGHT, HEAT
AND POWER co.
THE PRICE PAID WAS $1,000
It Was Thought For Time That a
Law Suit Would Result Over
The Matter.

Ae meeting held yesterday by
the members of the board of public
works and the representatives of the
Richmond Light, Heat and Power
Company, the city made an offer te
purchase the land in the river bot.
toms, near the Municipal plant
from the company for $1,000.
This offer was promptly accepted
by the Light, Heat and Power Com
pany and at the next session of coun
ell the board of public works vii
ask that $1,000 be appropriated fol-
the purpose.
The offer made by the city was IL
compliance with the law, which
states that a municipality cannot be-
gin condemnation proceedings fol
property desired until an offer has
been made and refused by the owner
of the property. 1t was thought fol
time that the Light, Heat and Pow
er Company, which desired the lane
for its own use, might refuse any
offer made the city and a lawsuit
would result.
The land secured by the city is be-
tween the Municipal light plant ant
the river and will be used by the
Municipal plant for dumping pur
poses. The acquisition of this lane
gives the city river frontage on the
east bank of the river.

indianapolis, March 22. (Speeial)
= The controversy between the lndi-
ana, Ohio, Illinois and western Penn
sylvania coal operators and their MI
ners is rapidly growing and late this
afternoon the fear was general that
they would break and that great
strike in the coal fields, beginning
April l, would be declared, calling
out at least 250.000 bituminous min
ers and possibly causing national
suspension Of mining.
Even the most optomistic lost hope
when it was seen that f. l.. Robbins
was not able to move the Indiana,
Ohio and Illinois operators from
their uncompromising stand against
making any concession. Presidents
| and managers of coal companies be-
gan at noon to send "strike' tele-
+grams to local managers.
If the Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and
western Pennsylvania operators and
miners split, it will mean general
strike in the bituminous fields at
least, for the miners have never for
finally annulled the Ryan resolution,
Though, pending negotiations, they
laid it aside, and they will probably
bring it out again. The national con-
vention in January instructed the
anthracite miners scale committee
that it should proceed to a settle
ment with the anthracite operators
and though the Ryan resolution was
later adopted the former instructions
were not rescinded and under them
the anthracite miners could probably
sign a contract with their employers
if they should be able to obtain
terms. The outlook in that quarter,
however, even though the miners
greatly modified their demands, is
not hopeful, and it looks as though a
break in the Indianapolis meetings
would mean national suspension of
eoal mining April l

becomes a bewitchment, and that so
ravishingly enhances the beauty of
beautiful woman to make her seem

their grace-giving mantillas are gone!
To their undoing, they are clad in silks

monized; and upon their unhappy
cas- are the hideously huge hats of the

a beautiful racial dress for an ugly
passing fashion is so DISASTROUS that to

ANOTHER HERETIC.

The Rev. DR.. Algernon S. Crapsey is
a hereto. Four of the judges who have
been trying him say so. But he isn't
going to be burned at the stake, or
openly cursed much. He may be, sus-
pended from exercising the functions of
the church until such time as he shall
satisfy the ecclesiastical authorities of
the diocese that his belief and teaching
conform to the doctrines of the apos-
ties creed and the nicene creed as the
church hath received the same. And
he has thirty days to think and repent
in before sentence can be pronounced.
1t is not thought probable that Mr..
Crapsey will repent and be regular
again. His trial has been thorough
and fair one, and there is no reason
to doubt the Justice of the verdict. If
he does not repent Of course he can't
fairly find any fault with what will be
done to him. A church, even In these
liberal days, must have a belief and
some rules. Mr.. Crapsey seems to have
been useful man, thorough hereto,
and how much this affair win detract
from his usefulness remains to be seen.
He is lucky to live in these broad and

Awhile ago work on the big battle
ship Connecticut was going on SWIM
mingly. But owing to dilatory tactics
on the part of congress in passing the
naval appropriation bill, work on the
ship Is progressing extremely slowly,
so slowly, In fact, that unless the adj
ditional $3s0,00O which congress is ex-
pected to grant for the purpose n fin
ishing the vessel is soon made avail
able, work on the vessel, 1t is thought,
will come to complete standstill. on
May / the Bureau Of Construction
and Repair, which is putting the fin
ishing touches on the ship, had only
a meagre ten thousand dollars to work
with, and since that date but small
complement of men have been at work.
OF course, the most economical plans
of work have been adopted to make
this small sum last as long as possible,
but in a day or two it will be COM
pletely exhausted.
OF course, the Connecticut will soon
be finished, and finished well, but de-
lays are rather annoying to those who
have been DESTROYS that the Brooklyn
navy yard should make good show
ing in her construction. When she is
done she will be grand and terrible.

4 CoMPRERENSrYE PIN.

Mrs. Abbie g. Sheen Of Chicago has
been thinking some things over, and she
has evolved a plan to equa.ize human
burdens in our social economy by re-
curing every bachelor to support an
orphan. She would have that child edu-
Gated, clothed and fed at his expense,
and under pain Of divers penalties she
would have him brought into direct
personal contact with the child, No
Sinking Of responsibility on the bach
elor's part. He cannot give his money
and let somebody else bear all the bur-
den and maybe neglect the child and
misuse the funds.
This is a comprehensive plan, but it
doesn't seem to take into account some
of the difficulties that might be met
with. While there are bachelors who
might make pretty good fathers by
compulsion, there are bachelors who
wouldn't be half as good and kind as
an orphan asylum or county home.
OF course bachelors ought to be made
to help more than they do, but per-
haps the best way would be to tax
them out Of ease and luxury into mat
rimofly and duty, And the thoroughly
obdurate ones ought to be made to give
all they earn, just as most Of the mar
ried men have to.

THE PRUSSTAN STATE.

At the recent congress of German
historians at Stuttgart Professor Mem
ecke, of Freiburg, read notable paper
ON Germany and Prussia in the Nine
teenth Century" The gist of his argu-
ment was that the present position of
the Prussian State and it's exceptional
power within the framework of the
German empire had led to grave evils,
some of which had been foreseen by
many of the original advocates of Ger
man unity. For instance. the concur
rent existence of a Prussian and an i'm
perial. parliament in Berlin had led to a
kind of parliamentary hypertrophy,
which Treitschke predicted and which
Bismarck, who was no friend of effec-
tive parliamentary government, may in
his heart of hearts, said the professor,
have had no desire to avert. The Bis
MARKHAM constitution of the empire,
Professor Meinecke urged, had I'M
doubtedly left important problems UNI
solved, and the difficulty which several
of the pre- ismarckian constitutional
lists had apprehended-th preponder-
ance of Prussia, and particularly of
Prussia east of the Elbe-had become

permanent maintenance OF Prussia,
which had been described as an "artifi-
cial State" ought to stand in the way
of the foundation of united Germany.

just an old Fashioned woman.

She's just an old fashioned woman, who
attends to her duties as they come,
Without any noise or fuss about it;
She is kind and neighborly and lends
a hand in work or play;
She is the idol of her household and
her dominion is home,
Where she reigns by the divine power
And her heart never grows old.
She's not overly ambitious; she doesn't
speak in meeting, nor bother about
having a vote;
She never attends caucus. or yearns
for career;
But she is the apple of the eye Of all
the little folks and tho big folks
wFo know her;
And they think there's nobody like her;
And they run to her to share in their
joys; and when sorrows come
Or deaths dark shadow looms across
their path they crave her loving
sympathy.
At such an hour the old fashioned wom-
an went down one night
To answer the urgent cry OF young
woman
Suddenly bereft of her mother by the
pitiless hand of death;
And the young woman, running to meet
her in her agony and despair,
Fell on the old fashioned woman's
motherly bosom
And lay there all night, clinging close
to her heart.
Presently falling fast asleep (like a
baby in its mothers arms) forget
ting her tears:
And in the morning awoke, comforted
and strengthened
Was the old fashioned woman tired.

holding the young woman in her
arms?
Nobody knew; not even the old fashion
ed woman herself
She had merely helped fellow creature
who was in trouble, and that rested
her.
Wherever the old fashioned woman
goes, she's like the sunshine dis
polling the gloom
Even the beggars and tramps, homeless
and outcasts that they are,
Find a friend in the old fashioned
woman,
And they never go hungry or discour-
aged from her door;
For she does not reproaoh them for
their shortcomings,
Nor grudge them the glorious sunlight
and the illimitable air;
NOT LOFDlu tneIn the SONGS VI lhS plluS
and the music of the winds In the

And may be. the blessings Of God

Are heard in the Courts Above and

When the records are finished and
