life, that is as the count counts hap

he felt was the possession Of prince

that they could devote all their time

with the fruits of their talent.
Chateaux and city palaces were pur-

A DEMOCRATIC VICTORY
In Indiana Predicted if His Views
Are Incorporated Into the Prin-
ciples of Republican Party.

John X. Gowdy, of Rushville, until
recently consul l-general to Paris, rem
ded the civil service system limb
from limb and then scalped its life
less body at the Republican district
convention which was held at Shell
byville Tuesday. Mr.. Gowdy said in
part:
/ believe the civil service law. as
administered at Washington today,
is the greatest mistake that has ever
happened. Why. my friends, shall a
man lose his citizenship because he
holds an insignificant postoffice? To
Illustrate, let me say there sits my
old friend, Captain Mcfarland, ey-
sheriff of my county. Rush, and at
this time postmaster-elect of Rush
vile, my home. He was heard In the
ranks when the Republican party
was in its infancy; he was in every
political battle every year, and stood
picket in old Virginia IN the darkest
hours Of the party's history, when
Cortelyou was a-was born. Wild
applause.) / tell you, gentlemen. it
will take more than postmaster
general and petty postoffice, to keep
Mcfarland s mouth closed. He is
made of my kind Of Repubhcanism. -
The Hon. William Dudley Foulke,
ex-civil service commissioner was
seen yesterday at his home and asked
to make a statement III regard to
Gowdy's attack. Mr.. Foulke had not
heard Of the speech but after reading
a copy he stated that he was perfect
ly willing to express his views on the
merit SYSTEM and his personal opin-
ion Of .Uncle Jack Gowdy.
"What do you think Of the senti-
ment of Mr.. Gowdy on the subject
of civil seryice?'' Asked the repor-
ter of Mr.. Foulke.
"I think the best answer to Mr..
Gowdy's speech is one that was
made in Congress not long ago by a
Mississippi congressman. An at
tack of the same kind had been made
upon the civil service system by
some enthusiastic advocates Of the
good old plan who had packed the
galleries with a crowd Of supporters
who applauded their sentiments voci-
ferously. Mr.. AllenI think that

BOARDED FREIGHT TRAIN
At Jackson Park With Mysterious
Burden And Departed For
The West.

AS further evidence of the fact
that ghouls have been at work al, the
Poor Farm cemetery Paul Miller, an
operator on the Pennsylvania Rail
road states that he saw men coming
from the cemetery bearing heavy
burden on a night about the time
which the grave robbing is said to
have occurred.
Miller works during the day and
had gone over to Jackson Park to
spend the evening with Roland Kess-
Ter, who is the night operator at the
telegraph station there. The road is
doubled tracked at this point and IS
used as passing point for freight
trains. At one o'clock in the morn
ing Miller said, he went out to the
siding to wait for the east bound
freight, on which he meant to re-
turn to this city.
WhileS there he saw two men
emerge from behind some ears and
come down the track. They had just
left the cemetery, which joins the
right-of-way of the railroad and
were walking toward Miller. They
carried large sack in which there
seemed to be some heavy body or
weight The men acted very mystic
riously and Miller says that being
somewhat frightened he concealed
himself in a fence corner until they
had passed. His train arrived in a
short time and he boarded it, not car
ing to inquire further into the bust
ness Of the men he had met, who
were, he thought at the time, ghouls
who had been working in the ceme-
terry.
Miller says that he thinks that the
men boarded the west bound freight,
which drew up at the time, and went
to Indianapolis, or dropped off at
some way station and took a passen-
ger train to that city. Miller says
that he did not care to have any in
terview with them on the track at
that hour, so he kept quiet and wait
ed for them to get out of sight.
When Miller came back to this
city he told some Of his friends of
the incident but did not think it nee
essary to aequaint the police with
his knowledge of the matter.
Whether or not this is the same
case of grave-robbing as was investi-
gated by the authorities cannot as
yet be ascertained. There may have
been two or even more instances in
which the ghouls operated in the
cemetery, and III this ease more bod
les may have been stolen than the
authorities now believe.

ACTION TO Be DELAYED
Till a Decision Is Rendered in the
Greensboro se-Economy
Now Thriving.

AT meeting held few days ago
in Economy, the citizens of that place
decided to take steps to incorporate
into a town, and yesterday DIR. J. b.
Clark and Clarence n. Greenstreet
were in Richmond to consult an at
torney as to what action is necessary.
For several months there has been
strong sentiment in favor of incor-
porating, but nothing was done until
recently. Economy is a fourishing
little community in Perry township.
on the line of the c. G.. & T.. Ry., and
has a population Of over 400. There
is large grain elevator located
there, besides a creamery and a
busy saw mill. The general stores
enjoy good local business and it is
thought that to incorporate would be
a benefit to the community.
Nothing was done in regard to TAX
ing out the papers when the repre-
sentatives were here yesterday. ow-
ing to the fact that it was thought
best &c await the outcome of the suit
which is no. in the circuit court re-
garding the Greensfork CORPORATION.
The question before the Economy
people is how much land to include
in their town and as this is the sub
ject of the Greensboro litigation
they are awaiting with interest the
outcome Of the case.

tanning championship polo team,
where the salaries of men are alone
equal to almost $500, and the travel
ing expense of the team is very large
The weekly cost of maintaining the
skating rink is but little more than
the amount usually paid to a polo
"star' and although the gross re-
ceipts are not nearly so heavy, the
curtailing of the expense almost even
up matters, and the net receipts
about equal those of an average polo
week.
Mr.. Henley says that skating alone
is more profitable than is polo in any
Of the Central League cities, judging
from the newspaper accounts Of the
attendance. At Fort Wayne a few
nights ago, two hundred people wit
messed game between Fort Wayne
and Iogansport. With two games a

have an attendance of at least six
hundred each time in order to have
no loss, and but rarely crowd of six
hundred is reported in the Central

that unless the polo players called
for too much money, there would be

OTHER THINGS ARE WANTED
Reed Smoot to be Ousted And In
dian Territory to Be Prohibi-
tion State.

Letters have been prepared by the
local chapter of the w. c. I. U. to
two of Indiana's representatives in
congress. One of the letters is ad-
dressed to Congressman I'll. A. Holli-
day, chairman of the committee on
Military Affairs of the House, re-
questing him to use his influence in
keeping the canteen from the Army
The other letter is addressed to Sen
ator Albert ]. Beyeridge and urges
him to use his vote in keeping Reed
Smoot, the Mormon Senator from
Utah, from obtaining his seat. 1t
also contains u request that Indian
Territory be admitted as a prohibi-
tion state .u
All of the questions referred to in
the letters are now occupying the at
tention Of Congress.
The army canteen has been abol-
ished nearly five years and an effort
is being made by army officers to
have it restored. Reed Smoot is a
Mormon and on account of his poly
gamous views. the right to his seat in
the Senate is being questioned.
The statehood bill is on in the Sen
ate and there is n probability that In
dian Territory may be admitted as a
state If it should, the members of
the W. e. T. I. want it to come in as
prohibition state, as at present it is
