litical parties, which make us hopeful
that during the next regular session OF

and Mr.. Lovelace are busy organizing
for the convention in Chicago, and

to provide fourteen-foot channel
from Chicago to the mouth of the Mis-
sissippi river than ever before.

addition to the two old ones. This
slogan is "a deeper Waterway-The
bigger boat the lower the rate" The
old slogans are Fourteen Feet

Twelve Years Separa-
ton Proves Happy.

FLORA, Ind, Sept. 19.-Emma
(Jenkins) Splitter, of this city, and
Blanche Uenkins) Brock, of western
Howard county, have been reunited
with the mother and brothers and sis
tiers whom they have not seen for
twelve years and whom they had al
ways thought of as being dead. When
the children were quite young the ia
Their died and the mother fell sick.
The children were taken after night
fall to a home for orphan children at
Jeffersonville, their home town, with
the exception of one boy, who crawled
under the house.
When the mother got able she tried
to find her children, but when the au-
thorities at the home found out that
she was searching for them they were
moved to home at Indianapolis.
Emma. then only twenty months DID,
was whipped one day for crying, and
the little boy could not stand this, so
they ran away. and, on foot, started
to walk the distance to their own
home. After long, tedious walk of
three weeks, during which the two
boys, aged twelve and fourteen, beg
ged their way or worked what time
they could. they finally reached their
home when the officers of the institu-
ton met them and, claiming them to-
gether. took them back.
They had been at the home but a
few weeks when they were again trans
ferred, this time to the Home for Or
phan Children at Mexico, Ind, from
where the children were adopted. The
girls We're placed near each other. and
so were the boys.
Recently the girls heard that they
had brother in Hanna, Ind, and
when they wrote to the postmaster of
| that city they were agreeably surpris-
ed to find that they had two brothers
living there. One brother Samuel came
on the next train and met his sisters
and they went to Jacksonville. where
they met the mother. When they got
there they found three half sisters and
half brother, also the brother who
had crawled under the house when
the rest of the children were taken
away.

SOCIETY IS SCARED
IN MANY PULP|TS
Every Episcopal Rector in
Rhode Island Denounced
the Sunday Parade.

NEWPORT, r. L., Sept. 10 New
ports society has received a rebuke
from every Episcopal pulpit in Rhode
Island All of the rectors read proc
lamation written and sent out by
Bishop Perry. of the Rhode Island
diocese, in which the Sunday brass
band parade" of a few days ago was
denounced in unsparing words.
The parade followed a dance at the
Newport Golf Club, at which Mr.. and
Mrs. Leonard NJ. Thomas We're host
and hostess. The dance was no less
sensational than the parade. 1t was a
fancy dress affair. and the grizzly
bear which came up from the under
world a few months ago, was the main
feature of the evening.
Tired of dancing and feasting, the
merry guests in their striking cos.
tunes, and led by brass band, Mr.
and Mrs. Thomas taking turns beating
the drum made a tour of the cottage
settlement.
The parade formed at 6 o'clock on
Sunday morning. 1t was near noon
when it finally dispersed. Guests OF
the Thomases who had left earlier
We're routed from their beds and OBJ
liged to keep open house for the pa
raiders.
The statement written by the bishop
says:
In view of the wide activities in
Newport on the Lords day and rec
ognizing that such activities have in
sensibly grown to such an extent as
| to encroach upon the hours of divine
service and detract from the sacred
ness of the day and of the home, and
| furthermore, set an unworthy example
before the young, we feel it a solemn
| duty to state in a definite manner the
position of the church in the matter:
I'VE urge the Christian people o.
Newport to abstain from such forms
of amusements and to recognize the
duty of assisting the clergy in uphold
ing the Lords days sacredness ant
to live according to their Christian
profession"
