The Breakers to Remain Closed.


Word comes from abroad that Mrs.
Vanderbilt is to take a large estate
near London, and that the Breakers
will not be open this season in New
port
This viii be the second summer that
this magnificent estate has been
closed. and it means a social as well
as financial loss to the place.
To the gossips Of the smart set It
means that something attractive is
keeping Mrs. Vanderbilt and her
daughter on the other side Of the At
lantic-something that draws like q
lodestone.
No longer is Robert Goelets name

Of Miss Vanderbilt, and we are at our

Between her emotions and her hat
Louise had a strenuous time. The hat
was large and wobbly. and at any un-
guarded moment it slipped from its
prec~riOus position on her lap. Sew
eral times Mr.. Blake had saved it from
falling to the floor only by a des-
perate lunge. The seat on her other
side had been vacant throughout the
performance 1t was unlikely that it
would be occupied now, when the cur
tain was going up on the last act.
Louise hastily placed the hat on the
empty chair out Of the need Of MIR.
Blake's watchful care.
Even seasoned theatergoers were
not proof against the emotional strain

Frequently some pick up the local
paper and after glancing it through,
YEARLY thrust it aside, remarking,
"Nothing in the paper" Did you
ever stop to think what that phrase
means, asks an exchange. It mean 8
that during the week just passed no
misfortune has befallen anyone in our
town; that the grim angel of death
has not crossed the threshold Of a
friend; that no man. driven by any
cause, has taken the life of fellow
human; that no poor devil, haunted
by the pastor misdeeds of others,
has crossed the divide by his own
hand; that many things tina. ought
not to happen have not happened. So
the next time you pick up paper
that doesn't announce a tragedy,
give thanks instead of grumbling
because there is no news.

So far as the state of Washington
is concerned, the cigarette is an out
law. Saturday night saw the last legal
sale of the tobacco-filled papers. The
enforcement of the law will not be
perfect; and it will not keep smokers
from bringing the "coffin nails" into
Washington; and yet it is farreaching
enough so it may do the people of
this state great deal of good.
The older "fiends will smoke their
"pills." They will still burn the
incense from the end of their Turkish
cigarette, but this class is mainly
beyond a desire for reform. They are
full grown. 1t is their own choice
whether they are to continue in their
old ways, or to help the law in it's
endeavor to make conditions better.
1t is for the school boy that the
benefits are to be found From now
the boy who is attending the city
schools will find something else to
do on his way from school than roll
cigarettes. He will have chance to
wait until he is old enough to know
the harm these papers do before he
form. the habit.
The anti-cigarette law should do
good. It should accomplish more than
stopping the mere selling of the weed
in that form. By this statute rightly
enforced children will be protected
from an evil that has done much to
make boys worthless and young men
useless. -Spokeane Chronicle.

GeneralGreely, in his annual report

GeneralGreely, in his annual report,
enumerates the following as among
the causes of the excessive ration of
desertion from the army in this coun-
try. Small pay as contrasted with the
high wages earned in civil life; the
lack of the canteens; too much nonmi=
litary duty; the case with which men
may avoid capture when they make
off; the isolation sof certain posts,
and consequent lack of amusements,
and, finally, the almost universal
hostile attitude of civilians toward the
army uniform.
Reports of other commanding officers
at different times, have given reasons
almost identical with these to account
for the high percentage of army de-
sertions. Indeed, similar reasons are
likewise given to account for the
high percentage of assertions from
the navy, notwithstanding that the
pay of enlisted men in the navy is
very much higher than in the army,
and contrasts favorably with the aver
age pay of deep-water sailor men in
the merchant service, while the work
in the navy is incomparably more
easy, and the food furnished incom-
parably better.
There is way, through legislation,
by which many of these causes of
desertion may be removed, before. that
legislation is had, however, it might
be we'll to have through investiga-
ton and final answer to one question
which presents itself, and which has
not been sufficiently discussed, and
that is, whether the military service,
in either army, is injured in any SUBJ
stantial degree by the assertions.
Is it not fact, under the modern
requirements on enlisted men in both
arms, that the service is we'll rid of
a considerable share of those who
desert? The days have gone by when
the soldier was mere food for powder,
to be drilled into a semi automatic
piece of machinery. Is the man who
has acquired such an irresistible
distaste for the service that he would
risk penal servitude and forfeiture of
civil rights in order to escape any
more of it precisely the man to whom
the defense if the country should be
Entrusted? There seems some slight
degree of possibility that close inquiry
might develope that percentage Of
assertions, even greater than has been
recorded, might result in making
military service more attractive to
those who remain in it, and might
result in some abatement of the hostil-
ity which civilians show toward the
army uniform. The personnel of
the army might appreciably improve
through the complete elimination of
the element which provides the
deserters.-P. l.

FORUM OF THE PEOPLE
THE REV. WARES SERMON.
OPEN TO ALL.

Editor Palladium Some reports in
circulation in regard to the sermon
preached by the Rev. Alfred t. Ware
church last Sunday evening, are of
such a nature as to do a prominent
minister in our city grave injustice
With the exception of the just scor
ing that he gave the s.old soaks,' who
are always banging around the court
house watching for chance to get on
the jury, and a certain class of shys-
tering lawyers who delight in OBJ
structing justice instead of promoting
it, there is little truth in the state
ment credited TO the Rev. Ware
We, the undersigned parties, sat
within twenty-five feet of the preacher,
and we distinctly heard every word
he uttered. so we absolutely know
that he made no attack on honorable
attorneys or judges: neither was the
theme of socialism even touched upon
in his entire discourse
Judge Fox, Timothy Nicholson and
five hundred other reputable citizens
listened with approval to the Rev.
Wares able discourse on that occas-
ion. and we dare say not one con-
strued it in such light as has been re-
ported. While we are not members of
Mr.. Wares church, yet We want to see
fair play.
Very respectfully,

Milton, Ind, Aug. 22-Several hun

Wednesday, At the morning service
there were good reports from the
churches of the county, a large mum
Der of additions to the membership,
and much given to the missionary and
benevolent associations of the church.
There were short talks by the various
pastors, also by visiting ministers, one
of whom. the Rev. Daniel r. Van Bus
kirk, of Greensburg, who more than SO
years ago when a boy preacher" was
pastor at Centerville. He gave inter
esting "reminiscences of early days,
one of which was that Oliver P. Nor
ton, whose wife was member of his
church, sang bass in his church choir.
Mr. Van Buskirk also made strong
points on the integrity and purpose of
the Bible. Rev. l.. G. Howe, former
ly a Richmond pastor, but now of
New Castle, made a fine talk. At
noon dinner was spread and after a
social hour under the trees, the aft
ernoon session began at which splen-
did addresses were delivered by Rev.
s. W. Traum of Richmond. and Rev.
J. o. Rose of Indianapolis. The latter
is secretary of the State Missionary

was under direction of Rev. Charles

net were accompanying instruments

FEET LOWER THAN 1T WAS FlF-
TEEN YEARS AGO-ExTRACT OF
REPORT.
WAS IN WAYNE COUNTY.

r. B. Clapp, of the U. S. Geological
survey, who examined the water con
ditions in Wayne county some time
ago. owing to the numerous requests
cal department, states that the water
supply of the country is gradually Civ
ing out There has been some alarm
felt in some sections of Wayne coun-
ty in the past few years due to the
prevalence of wells going dry, partic-
ularly during the summer season. In
speaking of the water conditions as
they prevail, Clapp says:
There is grave danger that the
country may run out of water some
day. and the government is endeavor-
ing, through the geological survey, to
find out the extent of the supply and
how best to preserve it. The water
level is ten feet deeper now than 1T
was fifteen years ago, and 1t is going
lower all the time. This is due to the
extravagant waste of water that is
practiced by the people. 1t is almost
criminal waste. Especially is this true
Of the cities. An average of forty gal
Ions a day for each person is suffi-
cient water supply for all purposes in
city. but in many of the cities the
amount used and wasted amounts to
one hundred gallons for each person.
All this amount above that which is
actually needed is wasted. People
allow water to run from their hydrants
and faucet all day and all night long
in many places when there is no need
Of doing So This is especially true in
