Tropenas steel Company is TO be a
Genuine reality. General Manager
Arthur Simonson yesterday informed
an Evening Journal reporter that as
soon as title searches of the property
are made and plans are prepared, bids
will be asked for and contracts award
ed. The impression which. has pre-
vailed TO some extent that the New
Castle works win be a branch Of the
Tropenas European plants is without
foundation. The Tropenas Steel Com
pany is a Delaware concern chartered
under the laws of tine State with
capitai stock of S5OO.0O) common stock
and S250,00 preferred stock.
Webster Blakely, of Rising sun, has
purchased four dwellings on Gray
street. He win build additions TO the
houses and a new macadam pavement
will be placed in front of them.
Somewhat of a boom in real estate
has been caused by the prospects Of
another industry. Surveyors are now

the Tropenas Company will manufac-
ture the bricks to be used about the
new buildings. The Guyer brick yard
at one time made excellent bricks be-
cause the clay on the Tropenas prop
erty is considered 10 be the finest in
the country. There is n vein of clay
over fifty feet deep running for half
a mile.
There was no money for sale at the

reason for this demand is that new

FALL OF ROME MAY BE
REPEATED In AMERICA

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. June II -
Ancient Rome and Modern America:
Some Startling Parallels" was the
subject Of a radical sermon in the First
Congregational Church by the Rev
DR.. f. L. Goodspeed.
1.-THE pursuit of unworthy and rep-
rehensible pleasure was one of the
causes of the Roman downfall" said
DR.. GoodsDeed. Everywhere in Amer
lea we see the same excess Of idle, use
less and reckless pleasure seeking.
I'VE have no longer true thought.
There is a darkness on the face OF
learning and literature is no more.
There is the same lack of the power of
intellectual initiative and of the desire
for great moral undertakings. All is
now subserved to the physical we'll
being.
"The same surfeit and disgust Of life
is among certain classes Of us as was
upon Rome. BY drunkenness and
pleasure we feed the beast within us.
In some great crisis when we essay to
do a strong mans task we find our
selves helpless before the foe.
"The decay of family life in ancient
rome IS paralleleu IN modern America.
Matrimony has become a matter of
money largely and divorce is rampant.
Women who ought 10 blush without
the use of paint advocate trial mar
riages. The Mormon who drives his
family team of four or five is equalled
by the Gentle who drives a tandem.
''As the sway of superstition con-
tributed TO the fall of Rome so it is
also having the same effect on Amer
ican society. What better evidence Of
the decline Of American life than may
be found in clairvoyants. mediums, Ed
dyism and Other quackeries of super
stition?
"A new tide Of righteous faith is
needed TO uplift America. the faith
to offer self-sacrihce and TO bring God
down TO the affairs of everyday Hfe."

CHIEF JUSTICE
HAS THE GRIP

Chief Justice w D. Beard of Mem

the Tulane hotel all this week with a
severe attack of grip. For several
days the chief justice suffered with
a considerable fever, but that is about
over, and he Ia considerably improved,
being able yesterday to sit up in an
easy chair for the first time since last
Sunday. The justice Is in a greatly
weakened condition, however. ON &C
count of his stomach being in such a
condition as to prevent his taking
food, and he will probably not resume
his place on the supreme bench until
after the holiday recess.
Judge Beard is one of the most pop
ular of the supreme justices, and his
many friends throughout the state will
be glad to know that he has stood the
attack so well Mrs. Beard has been
with him since his coming here from
Washington last week.
AS result the high court Of the
state has been moving along with only
four judges, no special judge having
been appointed to serve in Justice
