MAN, WRITES THAT THE EXPO.
SITlON WILL BE A GREAT ONE
WHEN 1T is COMPLETED.

1T is merely because the minor OF

did not recognize the congressional
party who recently came to this place,
that Congressman Watson and Joseph
Cannon are knocking the exposition, -
says Kenneth Harms, in a letter just
received by his father, o. X. Harms.
Young Harms said the head officials
OF the exposition are head over heels
in work. in the endeavor to complete
everything. and they left the reception
of the distinguished visitors to under
lings, and these in the glamor of
President Roosevelt's presence did not
pay due homage to Speaker Cannon
and he took exceptions. thinking he
should share the honors of the first
day with the president Congressman
Watson, who is a friend of Cannon,
was also displeased According to the
statement of young Harms the minor
officials did not Intentionally slight
the congressional party.

hibits by the dozens OF car loads are

own All their days, of course, are
spent together. and in the evenings, as
tickets are often sent to the schools by
the mana gers when there is room.

ter they tell each other knowingly
what the actors on the stage ought to
have done. They live In the ebullient
atmosphere of mutual criticism and
endless theoretical argument of young
people who are all trying to do the
sane thing. Naturally they drift at
once into that easy familiarity of the
sexes characteristic of all art schools
where young men and women are
brought together on equal terms. The
girls outnumbe the men two to one
and even more, which, in casting the
plays, at least makes the men do dou
bic duty and get twice the opportuni-
ties. Possibly the reason that fewer
men go TO the schools than women is
largely economic, possibly it is because
more women are stage smitten, but
the plant of the schools is that of the
summer resort-there are not enough

ERMATH MOVEMENT GROWS.

Particular interest on both the part
of the school children and the teach
ers is now centered on the distribution
of flower seeds by the Aftermath next
Monday. All grades below those at
the Garfield school will receive the
seeds. and owing to the numerous priz-
es offered this year there will no
doubt be greater interest manifested
on the part of the children than ever
before The school board has voted
prize of SO to be given to the school
which wins the prize for the most
beautiful cut flowers, the prize to be
used for the purchase of pictures in
the school building. Two prizes will
be awarded in each of the eight school
districts in the city by the Aftermath

In addition to these, the West Side

award number of prizes to the flower
growers of the Baxter school. In all
ten prizes will be awarded to the flow
er culturists of the school. Five first
prizes will be awarded to the children

that prize of So will be awarded to
the school if it wins first prize in the
city contest which will be held next
September.
By the large number of prizes award
ed, the teachers will take particular
pains to interest their children in the
contest and it is confidently expected
that there will be more flower beds in
Richmond than any previous year in
its history.

TREES MASSES OF BLOOM.
Belief That All Fruit Was Killed Not
Supported by Conditions at
HagerstoWn.

Hagerstown, Ind, May 4-Orchards
and fruit trees in this vicinity are
masses of bloom and do not support
the early belief that all fruit was
killed. 1t appears now that there will
be an average crop of all kinds of fruit
except possibly strawberries. Some
farmers saved their strawberries by
covering in the fall with straw and al
lowing the covering to remain during
the mild weather in March, which
served to retard development of the
buds. The freezing weather in April
had no effect on such plants as the
buds were not sufficiently developed
to be damaged by frost.

| Indianap polls, May Am injunction
against the Indiana railroad commits
sion was denied the Vandalia railroad
company by Judge Anderson of the
federal court. The Vandalia sought
10 enjoin the commission against the
enforcement of an order of Dec II, de-
claring the freight rates between
points on the Vandalia to be unreason-
able and excessive and fixing the rates
to be charged.
| Judge Anderson's ruling means that
| the rates ordered by the commission
shall be in effect at least until final
hearing of the case in court. The
case is in the nature of a test case.
and the final decision is being awaited
with interest by railroad men all over
the state.
Judge Anderson's reason for not
granting the injunction was that at
this stage of the proceedings he was
not justified in assuming that the COM
mission erred in ordering the rate

The original action was brought BIZ
Sehnull & Co. in August. 1905 They
complained to the state railroad COM
mission that the rates charged by the
Vandalia railroad company were un-
just and excessive. An investigation
was started by the state railroad COM
mission, which resulted in the order OF
Dec. H. 1906, declaring the first class
rate which varied from 10 to % cents
for hauls of from six to seventy-nine
miles. excessive. and established a rate
of from s to Il cents as a reasonable
rate. A corresponding reduction was
made on all other classes of freight.

MNnferious Glass Balls.

According to a foreign correspondent
of the geological survey at Washing
ton, among the most interesting fea-
lures Of the small Island Of Billion,
between Sumatra and Borneo, an Is
land long famous for its rich tin mines,
controlled by the Dutch government,
are the "glass balls Of Billion" found
among the tin ore deposits. These nat
ural glass balls are round, with grooved
surfaces. Similar phenomena are oc-
caslonally found In Borneo and Java
as we'll as In Australia. The corre-
spondent quoted thinks they cannot be
artificial, and there are no volcanoes
near enough to support the theory that
they are volcanic bombs. Besides, II
Is claimed, the CLASSY rocks produced
by the nearest volcanoes are quite diff
ferent in their nature from the mate

the mysterious objects were elected

Forbidden Games.

Almost every one of England's pop
ular games has at one time or another
been made illegal. Scotland is the
home OF golf, yet In 145T the Scottish
parliament passed an act entaillng Sc

Edward Ill, Henry ". and Henry

and Queen Elizabeth made II an Of
fense punishable by Imprisonment to
play football. There is record of six
teen people being imprisoned at once
for breaking this law.
Football Is still under a ban In some
parts of the world. Two Of the Swiss
cantons refuse to allow II, and in Tur-
key 1t is absolutely Illegal, and those
who dare to play 1t are punished.
Among oddities Of laws about games
must be mentioned French decree Of
the thirteenth century. By the kings

were forbidden to play tennis "in

BIRDS and Kites.

No bird, SO far as known records
show, has ever alighted on kite or
attacked one While scientist was
flying q train of five kites some years
ago a large silver tipped eagle came
suddenly out Of the higher air and
swooped round and round the first kite,
looking against the sunset sky like a
huge silver ball AS the train of kites
was pulled in the eagle followed, visit
ing one kite and then another, SEEM
ing uncertain just what to do. In q
few minutes, when he seemed to have
decided that they were not good to
eat and he knew nothing about them,
anyway, he Indignantly few off and
was lost to view. While the scientists
kites were high In the air one March
focks Of geese flying in the wedge few
over. They invariably stopped, broke
up, lowered above the queer object
and at last slowly reformed and dew
away. While the larger birds all come
from heights above the kite, the small
birds Of the air will alight on the
string holding the kite and sway to
and fro.
