Retirement of Evans.

Admiral Robley Dunglison Evans,
who retired from the navy on Satur-
day, was born in Floyd county, Va,
Aug. IS, 1916 and graduated from the
United States naval academy at An
napolis in 1863 in time to take part in
the civil war, in which he won dis
tinction. The principal event in which
he took part was the attack on Fort
Fisher in 1865. In 1891 he was in
command. of the Yorktown in the
port of Valparaiso, Chile, during the
strained relations between the United
States and that country and main.
tanned the honor and dignity of his
country's flag in the face of the most
threatening conditions
1t was as commander of the Iowa
in the action off Santiago, Cuba, July
3. 1898, that he won the sobr;quei
of Fighting Bob" and in which he
proved himself to be dashing and dar-
ing without being reckless. Not
alone his reputation as a fighter but
his qualities as a commander and or
ganizer gave him the command of the
Atlantic feet and enabled. him to
close his career in the service with
one of the most remarkable achieve
ments in naval history, the conduct
of the feet in safety and triumph
from Hampton Roads around the
continent of South America to San
Francisco.

Willard Rhodes Surprised.

Thursday, May Z is a day that will
be remembered for some time by Will
lard Rhodes, living one mile east of
Plymouth, not only because that day
was his 5Oth birthday anniversary but
for the neat come-off that so of his
friends played on him Mr.. Rhodes is
quiet farmer and has always boast
ed that the most sudden would never
surprise him. His relatives, however,
were willing to be convinced, and
they planned neat birthday party on
him. Mr.. Rhodes had no inspiration
of the event and when the crowd
of people burst into the room his sur
prise was complete. The evening was
spent in social pastime and Mr..
Rhodes was the recipient of a fine
rocking chair presented to him by his
sons and daughters.

Dies in Y. M. c. A. Pool; Twenty
Swimmers Near.

Lewis Levy, Is years old, was
drowned in the swimming pool of the
Central Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION at Chicago Wednesday af-
ternoon, although twenty persons
were near him. No one saw Levy
struggle, nor did he make an outcry.
1t was not until he failed to appear
to go to his home with two compan-
ions that a search was made and his
body was found at the bottom of the
tank in almost six feet of water.
Assistant Swimming Director Fred
Hajek and members of TIE associa-
ton made efforts to revive him. Three
physicians who were summoned said
Levy Had been dead ten minutes.
Levy went to the swimming tank
with Jacob Levinson, 16 years old,
and Joseph Gold, who remained for
more than an hour, and then went 10
dress, leaving Levy in the pool. After
they had failed to find him they mott
fed Assistant Instructor Hajek, who
discovered the body.
The swimming pool is sixty feet
long and is four feet deep at one end
and eight feet deep at the other.
Walter NJ. Wood, secretary of the
association. was unable to give an
explanation OF the drowning, which
is the second there within a year He
believes that Levy was stricken with
cramps.
1t has been learned that Milo Cline
after being shot, circled around the
outskirts of North Webster and at an
opportune time entered the town and
sought out DR.. J. H. Lyons, who
dressed his wounds. He then again
made for the woods and disappeared
He was very much excited and had
but little to say. 1t is feared that he
may have been hit more than once.

Is MINISTER'S TURN TO ROME.
According to DR.. Doran, Formerly of
Episcopal Clergy, Who Tells of
Movement.

Fifty Episcopalian clergymen in
different cities have agreed upon a
certain day on which they will re-
nounce Episcopacy as a preparatory
step towards embracing the faith of
Rome, according to Rev. Alvah H.
Doran, formerly prominent Episco-
palian minister of Philadelphia. Ten
of these ministers have charges in
Philadelphia, seven in New York,
eight in Chicago and six in Fon du
Lac, Wis. The others are scattered
throughout the United States
This wholesale DETECTION to the
Catholic church, according to Dr.
Doran, is due primarily to the open
pulpit" which is repudiated by high
church men. Father Doran is con-
nected with the Church of the Epi-
phany in Philadelphia. Previous to
his conversion to the Catholic faith,
about eight years ago, he was min
ister of the Episcopal church.
1t is also declared that a strong
propaganda in favor of Catholicism
is being conducted by the Compan-
ions of the Holy Savious, an Episco-
pal order to which all the local Eps-
copalians of Philadelphia who have
renowned their faith belong. 1t is
said that there is a perfect under.
standing among the clergy allied in
this order and that they have been
working in conjunction with Catholic
authorities for several years past DR..
Doran is the authority for the state
ment that on definite date within
a month the desertion of a half hun
dred Epscopahans will occurr. DR..
Doran refuses 10 make any names
public ON the ground of being pre-
mature.
AS the result of the adoption of the
open pulpit canon by TIE general
conference, Rev. William MsGarvv
rector of St. Elizabeth's church, Phil
adelphia, resigned his pulpit last Sun
day carr ing with him three assistant
priests. The senior warden also re-
signed. Announcement has also been
made of the resignation of two more
clergymen, we'll known in Philadel-
phia, where they have served in inn
portant parishes. They are Rev. AL
bert S. Cooper, for some years past
missionary in China, and Rev Ed
gar A. Cowan, a former curate of St.
Marks in Philadelphia. Rev. Mr..
Cooper has severed all connections
with the board of missions. He has
started for America to GO under Nc
Garvy in his present movement.

How Can Indiana Stand for This?

Thomas r. Marshall has never held
an Office of greater Importance than
that of school trustee He admits he
knows as little of politics as school
boy He is as poor as the proverbial
Jobs turkey.
But he is good enough to be COVER
nor of Indiana
His nomination by the Democratic
state convention, for governor, didn't
cost him cent He didn't pay a cent
for cigars; he didn't open head
quarters; he didn't ask anyone to vote
for him. And he will spend mighty
little in campaign expenses. He
doesn't happen to have it.
Marshall is an able lawyer with
statewide reputation as wit and or
ator. but when it comes to money
making he is fiat failure. He IS a
favorite after-dinner speaker. and IS
prominent in Masonic circles. In his
Is years of married life he has never
been separated from his wife for a
day.
When his enthusiastic friends were
tossing him like a feather upon their
shoulders, after the nomination, the
porter of a nearby hotel fought his
wav TO him with note from his wife.

The Spring Frog.
H. A. Pershing.


The gentle spring time now has come
The loveliest of the year,
When birds and flowers and frogs
wake up,
Our lonely hearts to cheer.
| love the birds and love the flow
ers,
But the song that always brings
Me back to the days when | was
young
Is the song of the frog in spring
He sings all day and he sings all
night,
For his heart is full of joy;
And he sings the same old drowsy
That he sang to me boy
How oft a barefoot boy | roamed
On Muckshaw's marshy shore,
And heard ten thousand happy frogs
Their wealth of music pour
And now when the evening time
draws nigh
And the cares of the days are DER
Like tinkling bells from distant hills
| can hear from the neighboring
shore
Their piping songs, that all night
long
In perfect time and tune,
And full as much TO the charms oil
spring
AS the fragrant flowers of June
Then here's to the frog in his water,
bog,
And long may h live. and be
Transported to Heaven, forever tc
sing
In the streams of Eternity.

Placing New Cars in Service.

The Pennsylvania is placing its
new steel passenger cars in service.
OF the goo all-steel passenger cars
several have already been placed in
service between New York and Phil
adelphia. The coach is seventy feet
in length and the heaviest of its kind
1t seats lightweight persons, and its
total weight is 10000 pounds. The
standard coach weighs only $4,000
pounds. The feature of construction,
the factor which secures the car
against the dangers of collision, is the
central box-girder, which is twenty
four inches wide by nineteen inches
deep and extends the length of the
coach

TO BETTER THE
POSTAL SERVICE
OBJECT SOUGHT BY STATE AS
SLANT POSTMASTERS'
ASS'N-BELIEVE THEY
SHOULD COME UNDER
THE HEAD OF CIVIL
SERVICE.

A well-attended meeting was held
Wednesday at the Denison hotel in
Indianapolis for the purpose of form
ing State Association of Assistant
Postmasters of Indiana. The lead in
the matter was taken by committee
consisting of Frank Amos, Logans-
port; John E Clark, Marion, and Geo
l.. Raymond. Muncie, all of whom
are assistant postmasters The an
nounced purpose of the organization
is to advance the interests of its men,
bers and to improve the postal SER
vice, as the clerks and carriers have
endeavored TO do through their organ
izations.
One of the chief objects sought, ae-
cording to the committee on organi-
cation, is to place assistant postmast-
ers under the civil service. The COM
mittee says that these assistants must
comply with all the requirements OF
the CIVIL service, Out are pcIllltlSu
10 share none of its benefits. 1t is
also set forth that there is a growing
belief that the compensation of the
assistants should be more common
surate with the responsibility 1t is
said that the postmasters of the state
sanction the organization, and that
the movement meets the appreciation
of the postmaster general and his as
sistants A number of men promi-
nently identified with postal affairs
have met with the assistant postmast-
ers.

EFFECTS OF FOOD
ADULTERATION
NATL. CHEMIST H. w. WILEY
TELLS HOW IMPURE FOOD
GRADUALLY UNDER
MINES THE HEALTH
BICKNELL ELECT
ED PRESIDET.

The National Conference of Char
tiles and Corrections has elected the
following officers for the ensuing
year:
President-E P. Bicknell of
Chicago
Vice-president- Thomas d. Os-
borne, of Louisville, KY.
General Secretary--Alexander John
son, of Indiana
Treasurer-Edward Boyle, of Chi
cago
The next convention will be held
at Buffalo. Dr. H. W. Wiley, chief
of the Bureau of Chemistry, United
States Department of Agriculture,
said that there is very generally
mistaken idea in regard to adulterat-
ed or impure foods in that they are
associated with the effects of a vio-
lent character, producing sudden i'll
ness or even a fatal result. How
ever, it is fact that these effects are
rarely met with except in the develop
ment of ptomaines in foods producing
poisonous effect
AS matter of fact the effect which
adulterated foods produce is slight
and their harmful results are insid-
ious. They tend rather to undermine
gradually the vitality OF the system,
and its power of resistance to dis
ease, finally affecting the health OF
the principal organs of the body The
effects are of such a character as to
be usually entirely overlooked when
the doctor comes to make his dag
nosis. The disease from which the
patient is suffering is usually one Diff
ficult to trace to years OF use of HARM
ful food products, particularly sub
stances which are AIDED to foods in
the form of preservatives or coloring
matters, which have no food value,
and undergo little or no change in the
system. These bodies are especially
poisonous to the protoplasm OF the
cells of the human body, else they
would not affect those organisms in
foods which produce fermentation
and decay.
The adulterating and misbranding
IF drugs, said DR.. Wiley, lead to re-
suits OF the gravest character in ac-
tual therapeutics. I'm one respect
our national food and drugs act may
be criticised, namely, in admitting
into interstate commerce drug pro-
ducts which are not of the standard
strength and purity prescribed by the
pharmacopoeia, provided their actual
strength and purity are named upon
he label"
The final effect upon the public
health of purity of foods and drugs,
he said, would be, first, to ward off
disease, and, secdnd, to effect lrs
more speedy cure.
