New England the custom of sending
packages by neighbors who journeyed

an established one. The notebook OF

Milwaukee, Wis, June 11-Thc
United States Brewers Association at
its closing session yesterday adopted
a platform of principles. in which it
pledges itself to the abolition of the
immoral saloon and to the cause of
temperance in the use of intOxicants

statement of R B. Scharman of
Brooklyn that more than thirty years
ago he advocated before the Commit
tee on Cities of New York that TWO
classes of license be provided. one for
distilled liquors and one for fermented
liquors. He predicted that many of
those within the sound of his voice
would live to see this become real
issue.
A new national organization was
formed as a result of the fight on pro
hibitiOn. 1t will he known as the Unit

DAYS OF LOST

Owners of Machines Having
Trouble.

If you have lost a bicycle and can
not find il. and are led 10 believe 1t
was stolen. ask a clairvoyant about il.
A young man whose wheel has been
missing for some time. reported TO the
police this morning that he had sought
the services Of a local colOred sOrceT-
ess and she told him he would find his
property on Fourteenth street or east.
The days Of lost bicycles have ar
rived and two strange wheels are in
the shed at police headquarters await
ing claimants. Almost every day
there j. complaint made In nearly
every instance the owner asserts his
wheel has been stolen, A friend Of
Clifford Piehl borrowed his wheel,
which happened TO be new one, rode
it 10 the bank. and on returning
mounted another at the curb and the
mistake was not noticed until PiehI
sought his bicycle TO ride home The
wheel taken by mistake is an aged

Failure to Organize Stock
Company to Take Over
Property the Cause.
MAY REMAIN CLOSED.
PEOPLE NOW HAVING CONTROL
OF THE PLACE SET TOO HIGH
A PRICE UPON PROPERTY
LAST OPENING WAS COSTLY.

The movement to organize a stock
company to take over the Cedar
Springs resort. near New Paris, O., is
dead issue, according to the local
promoters of the company. The fail
ure Of this movement was due TO the
inability of the promoters to interest
sufficient capital and the inability to
agree on the purchase price for the re-
sort, which is owned by syndicate OF
Dayton and Anderson people.
The scheme to secure Cedar Springs
resort was started by Richmond pco-
pie and a stock company was organ
lied. Albert MOrel and Harry Thorn
burg of this city were respectively
elected president and treasurer of the
COMPANY. Not much Richmond cap
ital could be interested in the plan, so
an effort was made to interest capital
at Columbus. O. This effort proved
failure, it is stated. principally be
cause the present owners OF the resort
valued the property too highly.
1t was at first planned to open the
hotel at Cedar Springs the first OF this
month and Richmond people were
| looking forward with keen interest to
this event as Cedar Springs had al
ways proven a most popular place, nor
only to Richmond people, but also t.
! Dayton people.
Ii is improbable that the present
owners of the resort will reopen it as
their last venture was. it is said. d
| costly one. Although the hotel has
never been a paying proposition, it is
| said that placing of Navahoe water on
| the market was good venture and
that the syndicate which now controls
tn resort still realizes good profits
from the sale of this water. which has
a market all over the country.
1t is the general opinion that when
the hotel was remodeled and the resort
thrown open a few years ago the man
agement made a mistake in permitting
gambling. This feature of the resort
gave it a "bIack eye" in the opinion of
that class of people who would have
been good patrons of the place. After
trying for several months to make Ce-
dar Springs the French Lick Of Ohio,
I the management was forced to ac-
| knowledge that their efforts had not
met with success. by closing down the
| hotel and club house.

CHILDREN ADMIRE
WORKS OF ART
Visited Garfield School Today
And Were AWed by the
Beautiful Things.
COLONIAL EXHIBIT GOOD.
MANY ARTICLES DATING BACK
TO DAYS OF REVOLUTION CEN
TER OF MUCH INTEREST," A
LARGE CROWD LAST NIGHT.

This was school childrens day At
the art exhibit now being held al the
Garfield school by the Richmond Art
association. Hundreds of happy
Youngsters thronged the big building
and appeared TO thoroughly enjoy ey-
crything that they saw. Perhaps they
enjoyed the manual training and the
scAool arr exhibits the best.
In the manual training room was
shown the chairs. skirt cases, stands.
play houses and other things OF like
nature made by Juvenile carpenters,
and the dresses. waists, aprons exc,
made by the Juvenile seamstresses.
These exhibits show the practical side
OF education in the Richmond public
schools and the work on exhibition is
of most Creditable nature.
The exhibition of the art work Of
the children of the public schools
shows a great Improvement. Some of
the sketches are really remarkable
SO we'll are they executed.
Colonial Exhibit Good.
The exhibits in the ID. A. R room
also attracted the children, especially
those who have studied the revolutions

certain brass candle stick which was
in the bar room OF a New England
tavern when British troops looted the
place and killed the bartender, was
gaZed at, almost with awe, by the chill

er at an autograph letter. faded with
age, written by Aaron Burr, once vice
president of the United States and the
slayer OF Alexander Hamilton, the fav-
Orite of Washington.
The masterpiece of the artists of
this state and the country at large
were also appreciated by the children.
Most intelligent criticism was made
by those youngsters on the pictures
that they saw. One lad, standing be
fore a large picture, depicted a mon

his companion. Gee that looks so real

Last evening the art exhibit was
thrown open OR the first time TO the
