DEATH OF FRANCIS MURPHY

Death claimed Francis Murphy
APOSTLE of temperance, yesterday. Inc
end came peacefully, quietly; he mere
lv dropped into a deep sleep from
which he was never destined to awake
in this world. He went out of life with
smile on his lips, blessing God 1or
the mercies he had granted him. AND
thousands upon thousands wnonl
Francis Murphy helped toward a bet
ter and stronger career weep TO-DAY
over his bier.
Francis Murphy was one OF those
rare souls who do great deeds by tne
power of gentleness. He did not tight;
he pleaded. He did not battle, he per-
suaded. No man was too low for him
to pass upon the other side; no woman
was too vile for his outstretched hand
to reach. He went into the cutters and
the hell holes, and raised UP those who
had fallen; cheered the weakhearted
and comforted them who had known
sorrow through drink. All men were
his brothers, and his home was
refuge for any sin-tossed soul VINO
might seek there rest and a recuper-
alton. His badge was a bit of ribbon.
his weapon pledge. He believed In
humanity, and his belief was never
shaken.
No man will ever know the amount
of good that this splendid advocate OF
the right has done; only the Record
ing Angel has the book wherein his
deeds are inscribed. But here and there
and everywhere over this broad land
today there are men and women, once
abandoned to wretchedness and the
demon of drink, whose 'tear-dimmed
ewes will read of Francis Murphy S
death, who will grieve unsneakably.
They know what his life was; what
his work was, and how superbly well
he did it On their hearts his name is
craven, and they show forth in their
lives the results of his ministry of
good. nd these whom he has helped.
even as they bow their heads in sor-
row, will bless God that such man
lived, and that they were privileged to
know him.
Re was splendid citizen, model
man, a loving comrade and faithful
friend. None knew him but to esteem
him, anu none who ever met him will
fail to mourn today that his end has

GOOD LOCAL MUSIC

Unless events now unexpected hap
pen very rapidly within the next few
days, Saturday will witness the end of
what has been one Of the most delight
full musical seasons Los Angeles has
known-that Of the Californians in the
Auditorium.
This company was organized on a
venture with Tom Karl of the famous
Bostonians at its head, and was largely
composed of Los Angeles vocalists.
During the ten weeks it has sung for
the edifcation and pleasure of local
musical and operatic devotees it has
presented some half dozen operas, each
perfect ensemble and soloists of high
merit. The chorus, composed wholly
of local amateurs, has proved it's
strongest feature, and has surprised
and delighted even the well informed by
its wealth of melody and good looks.
So there is genuine and keen regret
that the end is to come so soon.
There is ample room in Los Angeles
for company such as this, as a per-
manent feature of it's amusement life.
The field of opera lies fallow here and
is seldom touched. The general public
finds grand opera in Italian and French
rather caviare to its taste, but in light
opera in English it reveIs. Properly
managed and exploited the Californians
would have made as fine a financial
success as they did in an artistic way.
Even as it is, the venture has demon
strated that in monetary sense it
could easily be made to pay good divi-
dends.
The company as it now stands is not
perfect, but it affords a splendid nu-
cleus for a. superb and we'll rounded
singing organization fit to compare
with any and fully able to handle any
thing In the lighter repertoire of oper-
attic composition. If the present COM
pany is permitted to disband 1t will
be many years before so good a collec-
ton of singers can again be assembled
1t seems pity that this fine aggrega-
ton Of talent, now just coming into its
own, should be allowed to pass from
the local boards, and it is sincerely tc
be hoped that within the week a way
may be found whereby it's continual
existence and further growth and sue
cess may be assured.

admonition, because there is tendency
the practical value of his attainments.
A diploma certifying acquaintance
with the curriculum is just cause for
pride, but 1t is woefully lacking in the
properties of life-preserver. 1t can
not be relied upon either to secure or
to retain position upon which bread
and butter are dependent. The gradu-
ate is quite likely to discover, in fact,
that he has certain things to unlearn in
consequence of the failure of some
theoretical knowledge to fit into prac-
teal grooves.
But the well balanced graduate has a
substantial advantage in the competi-
tion he must encounter over others who
are deficient in education. Higher
scholastic learning is a useful equip
ment in the realities of life even though
1t may be rated as non-essential. To
obtain the fullest value from it, how
ever, it is wise not to display it osten-
tatiously.
The young men and women who have
just bade adieu to alma mater will soon
find themselves fitting into the practical
routine of business and domestic cares.
Soon the young men will be husbands
and fathers, and the young women will
be wives and mothers. And it will not
seem so very long to any of them until
the time when their own children shall
pass from the school room for the last
time to begin in their turn the ever
lasting struggle of human activity

JOHN SELLS is ARRESTED
Stood at 10Th and North Streets
Asking Those Passing If They Had
Seen God in the Sky-Suffering
From Delirium Tremens.

Have you seen God in the sky"
was the question that John Sells ask
| ed persons passing the corner OF 10th
and North c streets yesterday, and
there was a wild CLEAN in his eye,
as he propOunded the interrogatory.
Receiving no reply he would indulge
in an incoherent suppiication to the
Almighty, attracting considerable at
tention, and causing no little alarm,
especially among the women folk of
the neighborhood. Finally he made
an effort to enter the residence of
Joseph Craighead, but was prevented
from doing so by bystanders.
A telephone call was sent to police
headquarters, and Sergeant Dan Nc
Manus directed Patrolman Scott Win
tiers to place Sells under arrest. At
the city prison it was found that Sells
was the victim of bad case of delir-
ium tremens, and DIR. Zimmerman was
hastily summoned. The physician did
what he could for the unfortunate,
but it was late in the afternoon before
he could be quieted. He declared
that his incarceration was due to the
heavenly powers, and that he would
remain in prison until released by a
decree of God.

HIS ACTIONS VERY QUEER NO Definite DECISION
QUESTION HANGING FIRE
Board Of Public Instruction mas Writ
ten to Ascertain Whether il Can buy
Site for Play Ground in West Rich
mond.

The board of public works and the
school board have as yet come to no
definite decision in regard to the pur-
chase of the Riverside park site and
the public play ground adjoining
The two boards will hold a joint meet
ing soon and come to some definite
decision in regard to the matter.
In the meantime the board of public
instruction has written to the state
authorities to ascertain whether or
not it will be possible for it to pur-
chase ground for the play ground
when no building is contemplated on
the site. The law gives the board
the privilege of buying ground for
strictly school purposes but whether
the statutes give school boards the
power to purchase grounds for play
sites is unknown and as no word has
as yet been received from Indianapo-
lis, in regard to the disputed point.
Several local attorneys have been
consulted within the past two days
but they were unwilling to give an
opinion SO the matter was referred to
the state authorities.

Billup, mechanical engineer of this
city, who spent many years as seaman
on salt water, prevented disastrous
flood when waves, dashed into fury by
the gale, were dashing against the
levee and were beating down against
all effort the only barrier that stood
between the people and disaster.
Pour oil on those waters" he sud
denly shouted just as the danger seem
ed to be at it's highest point. Several
barrels of oil were quickly hurried
into skiffs and carried several hundred
yards from the shore. The oil acted
like magic in quieting the flood all
along the threatened stretch of levee
and gave the people an opportunity
to strengthen and repair the weak
ened sDots.

|EARLHAM TRUSTEES
HAVE A BUSY DAY
Decide on Many Things Look
ing to Internal Develop
ment of School.
TO MAKE SOME CHANGES
PROFESSOR TO BE SECURED TO
TAKE CHARGE OF DEPART
MENT OF CHEMISTRY-WIL
ERECT A NEW GRAND STAND.

The meeting of the board of trus
tees at Earlham yesterday was devot
ed largely to the matter of Earlham' s
internal development. Several steps
looking to that end were taken.
1t was decided to place the depart
ment of chemistry under a competent
professor and make the departments
of physics and chemistry, which have
heretofore been under one head, sep
arate. An appropriation was made
with which 20 purchase additional
equipment for the physics depart
ment. The matter of a successor to
Prof. r. l.. Sackett. who leaves at
the end of the present school year
to take position at Purdue was turn
ed over to President Kelly with the
instructions that he should secure the
names of possible instructors. 1t is
the intention to get professor
schooled as a practical railroad en-
gineer and with the strengthened ply
sizes and chemistry departments the
board members feel that they will be
able to offer inducements to students
anticipating an engineering career.
To Erect New Grand Stand.
1t was decided to erect a new grand
stand and an appropriation was made
Tor the structure. 1t will be the same
size as the old grand stand which was
destroyed by wind storm but will
be built closer to the ground and will
have roof slanting directly from the
front to the back. The plan suggest
ed by the students to raise the tuition
in order to make it sufficient to cover
the expense of the athletic teams
was partially adopted. The matter
OF paying the additional tuition which
Will be $1.25 per term will be made
optional with the students. If they
care to pay the amount they will be
given ticket admitting them to all
athletic games during that school
term The money thus derived will
not be used in securing additional
athletic instruction but rather for de-
fraying the expenses of the various
school teams.
Bids on New Dorm.
The day for receiving bids on the
new dormitory was set as February
20. The dorm is to cost $4,000 and
all but $4,000 has been raised. The
board instructed the building COM
mittee to re-advertise for bids on the
new library and work on the two
buildings will commence as soon as
the contract can be let.
An appropriation was made to COW
er the expense of entertaining the
track meet at Earl
ham, May Is. Many high schools of
the state send teams to this meet and
it will be big event in athletics.
