The Fatal Bowsprit.

Now, IL you have never reefed miz-
zen or jigger, as we generally call It.
on small boat running off under
press Of sail in seaway, you have
never done an acrobatic stunt that
knocks out the most thrilling feats of
the arena. 1t is not so bad as laying
out on the headspar to shift a jib
because the wet is left out, and there
fore 1t is job not so detested by
seamen. Working on the bowsprit Is
most dreaded of all sea jobs. More
men lose their lives off that spar than
from all other parts Of the ship to-
gether. Driving along she takes
plunge into It, at the same time the
heavy foot of the sail bangs across.
knocking off your hold, and overheard
you go to be swept under and trodden
upon by the swift rushing forefoot. A

be nastier places; If so, they have new

A Queer Argument.

1t Is often urged that eloquence and
affectation are inalienable, but I main
tain that the peculiar pronunciation Of
certain words-if that constitutes af-
fectation-is a pardonable fault, of
which many eminent orators are them
selves guilty. In vast cathedrals and
large halls where the acoustic proper
ties are Of an unusual order 1t is clear
ly manifest that some pronunciatibns
are preferable to others. for some
words by the very composition of their
syllables are not so far reaching In
their sound as others, so that If ruse
Is adopted to gain the desired effect
surely 1t is detrimental to no one

tuation has also gone by the board.

tons on envelopes were punctuated

CROSS is TRYING TO RELIEVE
DISTRESS.

Madrid. Sept. 2S.-Starvation con.
fronts 100000 peasants in the flood
districts in the south and it seems i'm
possible to provide relief. The dam
age and property loss is estimated at
many millions and thousands of peo-
pie are homeless.
Malaga alone will be able TO reap a
harvest and the food situation is the
most serious in many years. The
peasants who were driven from their
miserable homes by water have abso-
lutely nothing except the rags upon
their backs. They are gathered in
great crowds about the government
Offices in the towns, begging for assis-
tance Women who have carried their
babies in their arms for three days
and nights and similar pathetic sights
confront the officials.
The rain continued today in some
districts. The Red Cross society has
begun to give relief and will do every
thing within the means of the organ
ization to assist the sufferers.
The church of Benamargrosa. which
was undermined by the flood, fell dur
ing the night There was no loss of
life. At Malaga many dead bodies
have been washed down the river and
out to sea.

Former Member of the State
Senate Found Guilty of
TreSpaSS Charge.
HIS ATTORNEY is FIRED
DID NOT LIKE 1T BECAUSE MED
SKIER ENTERED A PLEA OF
GUILTY-CASES FOR ASSAULT
ARE PENDING.

Phillip Binkley of East Germantown,
a well TO do citizen and formerly a
state senator, was arraigned in the
city court Saturday afternoon charged
with trespass. The charge was pre-
ferred by Mrs. Ella Myers. his first
cousin. Mr.. Binkley was billed to APP
pear in the city court Saturday morn
ing but he has so much business in
the courts now days that he got mixed
up on his dates. AS a result Constable
Clay had to be sent to East German
town to bring the ex-statesman to the
city court.
Mrs. Myers with an imposing array
of witnesses waited some time for her
cousin to put in an appearance. When
Mr. Binkley arrived, Attorney Bert
Medsker of Cambridge City, who has
been doing some legal work for the
former statesman, was on hand to rep
resent him. in fact Mr.. Medsker en-
tered a plea of guilty to the charge
for his client.
This action on the part of Mr.. Med
skier met with the displeasure of the
retired senator. Mr.. Binkley prompt
Mr. Medsker, stating that he had re
tanned him to look after his interests
in couple of other cases pending in
the Justices court at Cambridge City.
After discharging his counsel, Mr.
Binkley withdrew the plea of guilty
entered by Mr. Medsker and plead not
guilty.
Was Fined $25 and Costs.
Mrs. Myers stated on the witness
stand that several days ago Mr.. Blink
ley. who had been drinking, entered
the home where she and her brother
William Schalk, live. She said that
Binkley started trouble and she or
dered him off the premises. Two
days later again under the Influence
of liquor, Mr.. Binkley returned, she
stated, and offered his apologies. She
refused to talk to him and a dispute
arose. as the result of which Mr.. Blink
ley next week will be the defendant
in two assault and battery cases. one
preferred by Mrs. Myers and the other
by Mr.. Schalk Mr.. Binkley, she stat
ed. after the hostilities, was again or
dered from the premises.
Mr.. Binkley did not have much OF a
defense to offer so the court assessed
a fine of s25 and costs. This fine
Mr. Binkley paid. Mr.. Binkley. his
friends state, has been drinking heav-
lily of late and his dissipations have
brought much woe to him. Just re-
Gently he was fined in Cambridge City
on a charge of intoxication.

liberal response from those desiring to
still further furnish the dormitory and
about ten persons agreed to give SOC
each for such a purpose. Mr.. Jay said
that the college wished to establish a
first class hospital in connection with
the dormitory, which would cost about
$500. This money he wished the
Friends to pay unsolicited. The hos
pital is to be named the Margaret Moon
memorial hospital, after Margaret
Moon. who labored many years as
nurse at the college.
In regard to the vacancies due to the
expiration of tenure of office on the
board of trustees. the permanent board
of the yearly meeting reported favora-
bly, on the CONTINGENCY of Timothy
Nicholson on the board. Mr.. Nichol-
son has for forty-two years been act
lively engaged in the work for the bet
terment of Earlham college. He has
been a trustee of the institution for
that number of years. Joseph A. God
dard of Muncie. was also selected to
serve on the board of trustees.

emies. Spiceland and Fairmount, were
both shown to be in a flourishing con-

pupils at the Fairmount academy last

culture and domestic science have been

ter today. The papers are filled with
accounts of the immense destruction
caused in the department of Herault.
TO which the damage is principally
confined. and which is estimated to
amount to s4.000,000.
The waters rose so rapidly in the
valleys that the people working in the
vineyards were cut off and compelled
TO seek refuge in trees and on the
tops of houses and walls.
Reports from the departments Of the
Rhone, Gard and Vaer say that the
rivers everywhere are out of their
banks and the flood is causing much
distress. Many people have sought
refuge in the upper parts of their
houses and have been without food
for days. The authorities are hurry
ing relief supplies to the flooded sec
tions of the country.
A number of bodies have been re-
covered in various parts of the depart
ments mentioned.
A dispatch from Marsailles says
that an unprecedented fall there has
flooded the lower parts of the city.
In the department of Ardeche the
rains have caused dangerous rise in
the streams and serious breaks in sew
eral dams.
Parliament will be asked to furnish
relief for the sufferers. who were just
beginning to recover from the losses
sustained as result of the crisis in
the wine trade which led to the wine
growers revolt last summer. Much
of the responsibility for the disast-
rous nature of the flood is attributed
to the unrestricted denuding Of the
forests.
