NEW YORK, oct, l9.--The very lat
est style in New York is to have q
shadow, and there is scarcely man Of
prominence in the city, especially in the
great financial district, who Is without
one. While they are worn at all time.
these shadows are not those cast by the
sun but real detectives disguised in
second hand frock coats and false
whiskers. Never before has there been
such rage for having people shadowed
and with exposures in high finance and
politics coming daily, the person who
has not shadow on his trail does not
amount to much. Stuyvesant Fish as
serts that he has been followed for more
than a year and strangely enough Il. II.
Hartman has not the natural allowance
of one shadow but five. While the pub
lie adds two and two AMI makes shrewd
glesses each Of these gentlemen refuse
to say whom he suspects Of having him
shadowed. Comptroller Metz who re-
cently refused to shake hands with
Police Commissioner Bingham asserts
that he was shadowed across the ocean
aud back again by the latter's sleuths.
while @Fingy" Conners. chairman Of the
Democratic State Committee, asserts
that the shadowing emissaries Of his
arch political opponents have made
themselves extremely obnoxious. It is
also reported that Mayor Mcclellan is
watched by the shadows Of Hearst. and
Wall Street fairly swarms with them.
There is no reason why any shadow
should be without a job. The number
Of private detective bureaus in the city
has more than doubled in the past two
Or three years AMI all Of them are kept
busy. The New Yorker who has not
shadow nowadays is accredited with
little standing.

logical development of what is known
as the aAstoria Situation" arises, not
10 much from its actual evolvement, as
that it is so extraordinarily late in
finding fruition!
That this city and harbor were to
figure hugely in the ultimate commercial

never been doubted in any mind at all

for single moment, and the news that

LOUIS w. HILL,

Y These conclusive deductions Of the
leaders of American transportation pro-
gress. have been amply fortified by the
most uneqrivocal and candid arguments,
in the same vein, urged by Hon. Harvey
w. Scott, editor Of the Portland Daily
Oregonian, whose best expressions on
this grave subject were reproduced in
these columns, in large part, quite lately.
The sum Of astonishment will be no
table when the quick and immense lines
Of development begun to assert them
selves and the colossal scheme Of Hill,
Hartman and other leaders, shall take
shape and substance, and the obseryant,
interested citizen Of Oregon shall begin
to measure up the latitude Of their
plans at Astoria. For these men and
their allies intend that Astoria harbor
and the lordly Columbia shall serve the
full purpose and destiny nature, and the
immutable laws Of commerce prescribe
for such attributes as theirs!

chimes, buggies and road wagons was
one of the finest ever seen in Rich

In the building that faces on Fourth

DAN CUPID MADE A
MISTAKE THIS TIME
Arrow Flew Amiss in the Case
Of the Spur|ings.
WIFE is GIVEN A DIVORCE.

That Dan Cupid sometimes let's his
arrows fly amiss was evidenced when
Alice Squirting appeared in circuit
court Saturday asking divorce from
Clarence Squirting. She alleged
abandonment within six months and
failure to provide. The two youthful
lovers were married in 1900 when he
was nineteen and she was in her six
teenth year After less than six
months OF married life Clarence de-
cided that he was too young to be a
householder and took his departure.
For awhile his whereabouts were I'M
known, but later efforts have located
him at Shelbyville. However, he did
not think the little matter OF a di-
vorce sufficient reason for him to come
to Richmond, and so failed to appear
against the plaintiff. When Judge Fox
had heard the evidence, he promptly
undid the work of Master Dan by
granting the divorce.

Confidence Expressed That 1t
Will Recommend a New
County Jail Be Built With as
Little Delay as Possible.
SAID TO FAVOR PLAN
FOR A NEW STRUCTURE.
Public Sentiment Is Almost
Wholly For This Move---
Proper Care of the Insane
Is Most Insisted Upon.

There is no doubt but that the grand
jury. when it files it's report this week,
will submit a strong recommendation
that a new county Jail be built and
with as little delay as possible. 1t is
thought that with the support of the
grand jury's recommendation the
board of county commissioners will
feel warranted in ordering the erec-
ton of a new county Jail
Last week the grand jury directed
special attention to this project The
county Jail has twice been inspected by
the grand jurymen and people who
have taken active interest in county
Jail improvements were summoned be-
fore the grand jury and these wit
nesses gave their opinions. nearly all
of which were to the effect that prompt
steps should be taken to improve upon
the jail conditions in this county.
Some witnesses recommended that
an insane institution be built so that
it would not be necessary to place in
sane people awaiting admission to the
Easthaven insane hospital in with the
sane prisoners. Other witnesses rec
commended that the present county jail
building be abandoned and sold and
that a new JAIL which would provide
separate quarters for general prisoners,
insane inmates and juvenile prisoners
be built.
1t is understood that the grand jury
favors the latter plan. The present
county Jail is most unsatisfactory. and
if it is not abandoned now it will be
positively necessary to abandon it
within the course of the next five or
ten years. 1t is probable that the
grand jury will recommend that new
county jail. and probably workhouse
be built on the court house grounds
just south of the court house.
Public sentiment is almost unani-
nous in favor of the erection of new
county jail. The county commits
siOners and the members of the grand
jury have learned this fact by
"sOunding' people in various sections
of the county. Public opinion also ia
vors the erection of work house,
where prisoners can be made to earn
their daily board. The proper care of
the insane intrusted to the care of the
county pending admission to Eastha.
ven, is what the people of this county
most insist upon.

Bishop Berry viii Preside at
Sessions Which Will Con-
vene April I.
ELECT LAY DELEGATES.
SIX WILL BE CHOSEN FOR THE
BALTIMORE MEETING- THERE
ARE SIXTY THOUSAND MEN,
BERs OF NORTH INDIANA BODY.

The Rev. D. V. Williams. of Eaton,
Ind. secretary OF the North Indiana
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church has announced that it has been
decided to hold the next annual con-
ference in the First NJ. E. church at
Anderson, April l. Richmond is in
cluded. Bishop Berry will preside at
the sessions. Bishop Berry was for a
long time editor Of the Epworth Her
aid, and of all the bishops he is prob
ably the most popular among the
younger people of the church. This
announcement will come as interest
ing news to the 10000 members of the
church in the North Indiana Confer
enCe.
From this time on. interest in the
local congregations will be on the in
crease. Before April / each of the
churches in the conference will choose
d lay delegate and alternate to the lay
electoral conference, which meets in
Anderson April 3. One of the chief
items of business at this session will
be the selection of six delegates and
three reserve delegates to the gener-
al conference, which meets in Balti-
more Wednesday, May s. The gener-
al conference, which meets every four
years. is the law-making body of the
church. though its functions are re-
stricted by prescribed rules.
With the announcement of the date
of the session Of the annual confer
ence, the pastors throughout the sew
eral districts will begin to direct their
work looking to the close of the year.
The conference this year will be of a
little more interest than usual. owing
10 the fact that six delegates are to be
chosen to the general conference
.Alrea ady, in some quarters, there is
being manifested an interest as TO the
selection Of the lay delegates, as it
carries quite an honor. Among the
important items of interest that will
come up before the Anderson meeting
will be action on several constitution
al questions These are now being
discussed in the church papers.

WANTS HASTE MADE
IN NAMING OF BABIES
Secretary J. N. Study Heard
From on This Point.
ACCURACY is AIMED AT.

DR.. J. \. Hurty. of the Indiana state
board OF health, is especially desirous
that mothers in Richmond shall make
haste in naming new born babies. He
depends much on the return blanks. d
few months ago installed, for accuracy
in state records. DR.. Hurry has made
known his wishes through city health
officer Charles s. Bond. He insists
that health officers should send in the
statistics 10 him, but as forcefully in
sists that mothers shall name their
"tootsie wootsies" with as much dis
patch as health officers use in for.
warding the required blanks. DR..
Hurry says in his communication that
it takes a long time for a mother 10
name the baby. and therefore the new
system of keeping records is complied
with with difficulty. AS a general
rule, since the new law has been in ef.
feet. Richmond mothers have been
very prompt in filling the name certifi.
safes and filing them with City Health
Officer Bond.

William J. Bryan's tentative accept

any other candidate by knihng him as
he did Parker" Bryan's announce
ment was no more than he had expect
ed. however, greatly he regretted the
action, because he thought Bryan could
no longer create enthusiasm as he had
been before the people too many times.
