DID NOAH ENTER HIS
ARK ST. PATRICK'S DAY?
Old English Calendars Give
Date as March 17.
MRS. NOAH TROUBLESOME
Today, March 17 is famed not alone
because it i3 St. Patrick's day. Ire
land's preat patron saint, but the ear
ly English calendars pretend that on
that day Noah entered the ark, to
which is added the further informa
tion under the 29th of April. "Here
Xoah went out of the ark." In one
of the earliest mystery plays Noah
Is presented as carrying to his dame
the news of the imminence of the
flood,' whereupon she abuses him for
his credulity, sneers at him as an
habitual bearer of bad news, and com
plains of the sad life she lived with
him. lie tells her to hold her tongue
and as she becomes more abusive he
strikes her. She returns tha blow
with interest and Noah is compelled
to run away to his work on the ark.
Dragged into the Boat.
When that vessel Is finished she re
fuses to go into such" a crazy looking
craft, but finally reconsiders and as
sists In fairly good temper in driving
the couples of beasts and birds into
the ark. She refuses to embark for
the voyage unless he agrees to allow
a number of the neighbor women, her
cronies, to go with them, and that if
3ie does not accede to her terms he
may look out for another wife. Then
Sheni Ham and Japhet appear and
drag their mother into the ark.
During the middle ages, in the folk
lore of that time, the quarrels of Noah
and his wife were popular narratives.
RUNAWAY WAS EXCITING
Spirited Team of MrVJtad-Mrs.- Edward
Norris Frightened at Eighth
and Main Streets.
One of the moat exciting runaways
that has occurred in the city recently
ras that of yesterday at the cor
ner of Eighth and Main streets. Mr.
and Mrs. Edward Norris, living two
and one half miles north of town, on
the Middleboro pike, were driving east
on Main street, and as the' approach
ed Eighth street, the neck yoke broke,
allowing the tongle, to the vehicle in
which they were riding to fall to the
stTi;t. The Spirited team became
frightened and started across Eighth
street dragging the buckboard. Mr.
Norris efforts to bring them to halt
were unavailing. The tongue of the
buckboard smashed .intoa-curb stone,
where It was broken, allowing the j
team to get awaj. They ran into the
sidewalk - in front of the Peter John
son hardware store, where a telegraph
pole separated them, breaking the har
ness. They ran east . ior several
Pr -t before they were stopped.
I Mier Mr. nor Mrs. Norris was
Injured, but both were. badly frighten
ed. FromTthe general appearance of
things for a time it looked as if both
would be ""severely injured.
LIGHTS FOTFRAIICHISE
The Proposition that Hagers
town Will Make.
THE MOVE UNUSUAL ONE
llagerstown, Ind., March 16. When
the projected interurban road strikes
llagerstown it will receive a reception
unlike those extended by many other
towns. llagerstown needs electric
lights and does not care to assume
the obligation of establishing a system
of her own. It has been conceived
by some of the solous that the inter
urban people can bo made to furnish
lighting for the streets without cost
to the town. It is said that the fran
chise is worth a great deal of money
and the town should receive some
thing in return for the rights granted
the railroad company.
It Is believed that people who are
back of the road have heard of the
demand that may be made in return
for the franchise and have instructed
the surveyors to run the route north
of town. If the road should be built
on the route followed by the survey
ors, llagerstown will have the long
looked for interurban station entire
ly out of town. Many citizens are in
favor of allowing the road to be built
right through town and along the
highway east and west. The surveyors
would give out no information about
the time when the actual work of con
struction would begin.
THE WORK WAS TOO HEAVY
Albert Hindman Forced to Give Up
Duty as Mail Weigher.
llagerstown, Ind., March 16 Albert
Hindman agent for about all the
newspapers sold here, has been indis
posed the past week so that he was
unable to perform his duties as weigh
er of mails, to which position he was
appointed three weeks ago.
Mr. Hindman was one of the young
est men ever appointed to such a posi
tion, and his appointment was due to
the influence of Congressman Watson,
who has shown great interest in him.
It is not likely that he will be able to
resume his duties in the postoffice de
partment, as his work requires con
stant attendance. He will continue in
the newspaper business, which gives
him about as much net return as the
more arduous and responsible posi
""on of weigher of malls.

WHAT "PURE ICE CREAM"
WILL MEAN IN INDIANA
State Board of Health Estab
fishes Rule.
PERMITS LITTLE GELATINE
Complying with the insistent de
mand of the Ice cream manufacturers
of the state, the state board of health
has adopted the standard of purity for
Ice cream under the new pure food
law that went into effect last week
This was the one standard determin
ed at the meeting of the state board of
health in the office of the secretary,
yesterday afternoon.
The standard set by the state besrd
of health is not the same as the feder
al standard set under the federal pure
food and drug law. It permits of the
use of a little gelatine in making what
is to be called "pre cream" and also
sets the minimum amount of butter fat
atabout 8 per cent.. Instead of 14 per
cent, which the federal standard pro
vides.
Rule as to Ice Cream.
The rule as to ice cream is as fol
lows :
"Ice cream is a frozen product, con
taining not less than 8 per cent of
butter fat and 18 per cent of milk
solids, with the addition of sugar
(sucrose) and with or without nat
ural flavoring and not to exceed seven
tenths of 1 per cent of gelatine.
"Fruits, nuts, candied and preserved
fruits and nuts, chocolate and other
similar products shall be classed as
flavorings, and ice cream conttaining
such ingredients shall conform to the
standard above specified."
Explaining this rule, Dr. J. N. Hur-
ty, secretary of the state board of
health, said that it was to be under
stood that ice cream manufacturers
could make ice cream differing from
the standard.
"If the product does differ from
that standard, it can not be called
pure ice cream, however, and the label
will have to show the contents," he
said.
Must Import Natural Ice.
"Only half a crop was harvested this
year," said a local natural ice dealer
yesterday in speaking of the crop
this winter. "Yes, he continued,"
there were only about eight days that
we could harvest ice and the warm
weather completely ruined our local
crop. It will be necessary for us to
import a large quantity of ice to prop
erly care for our patrons in this city
during the summer months."
From reports coming to Richmond,
the natural ice crop is short all over
this section of Indiana and Ohio, al
though local dealers say that a large
harvest was made in northern Indiana
and Ohio.

Jesse C. Stevens Home.
Jesse C. Stevens and son, Earl, have

construction. Mr. Stevens has ac
cepted a position as superintendent of
a railroad division running between
Pensacola, Fla., and Flormonton, Ala.,

ly. While Mr. Stevens arnj son were

of the prominent battlefields and oth
er points of interest ' and brought
home many curios. Mr. Stevens' work
for the Hand company is most highly
praised.
Hilligoss Dropped Dead.
Rushville, Ind., March 16. H. G. S.
Hilligoss, 72 years old, the first mayor
of Rushville, dropped dead while at
work in his back j ard last evening at
his home in this city. Mr. Hilligoss
was a native of Rush county and was
elected first mayor by the Knights of
Labor movement about twenty years
ago, and served in that capacity two
years. In his younger days he was one
of the important factors in Republican
politics in this p art of the state.
He lived in Madison county for sev
eral years and was well to do, but met
with financial reverses and after
many unsuccessful attempts failed to
retrieve his fortune. Mr. Hilligoss
was the first person Friday to
spread the news of the death of Alfred
R. Peters, his lifelong friend, who
died only a few hours before and only
a square away.

Detroit. March 16. The Atlantic

due here at 7:53 a. m., from Chicago
en route to Port Huron and the East
and running late, ran into an open

erely injured, two of them perhaps
fatally. Engineer A.. 13. ' Schram and

JOSIE BOND AGAIN JAILED
Well Known Character Had to
Dragged Along the Street.
be
Josie Bond, one of the most notor
ious police characters in the city, was
arrested yesterday about 9 o'clock
for associating with Jim Clark, col
ored, another well known police char
acter. The two were captured in an
alley between Fourth and Fifth streets
by Sergeant McManus. The Bond
woman was taken down Main street
enroute to the city jail and Sergeant
McManus had to drag her nearly ev
ery inch of the way. Josie succeeded
in creating much trouble and the epi
thets she applied to her captor could
be heard for considerable distance
She was put into jail, swearing, and
resisting to the last.
The memory of man runneth not
back far enough to remember the first
time Josie was "pinched." Since that
time she has kept the police busy. Im
prisonment has no effect on her and
the attempt made by Prosecutor Jes
sup about a year ago to reform the
woman failed miserably. With the po
lice the question of "what to do with
Josie?" is an unsolved one. Clark and
Jos'.e will be given a hearing in the
court this afternoon. Clark has re
tained Attorney Henry U. Johnson to
defend him.
BUSINESS EXPANDING
Bradstreet for Week Shows
Healthy Condition.
SPRING WEATHER IS FELT
New York, March 10. Bradstreet's
today says:
Spring business hes further expand
ed, jobbing operations being maintain
ed at a volume to or exceeding last
year, while retail trade has felt the
stimulus of the approach of Easter
and the appearance of springlike
weather. Increased complaints as to
short stocks in some lines, n itab'y
dry goods, come from many points,
and slow delivers' Is still complained
of. Industry is native except where, as
in the flooded sections of the Ohio
valley, mill creations are restricted.
While business is large there is claim
ed to be no tendency to -.mvchase be
yond legitimate requirements, and the
prospects favor active demand and a
large turnover.
While the green bug lias mined
wheat and oats in Texas, the situation
in Kansas and the Southwest general
ly is excellent and the impression
seems to be that damage reports have
been considerably exaggerate! for
market effect. In the South prepara
tions are progressing under favorable
soil conditions for a large cotton acre
age. In the pig iron market buyers and
sellers are maneuveriag for position
as regards prices, and while little new
business has been placed, except in
the Birmingham district, the under
tone appears stronger. Some foreign
foundry iron is being offered at prices
that are much be'ow those quoted for
the domestic product. Production in
February was far below that of Janu
ary, but the daily output increased
somewhat over January, the largest
part being 'urnishod by th leading in
terest and not by the merchant fur
naces, whose product has the most in
fluence on the open mavko-:. All fin
ished lines are active, with specifioa-'
tions corning in freely. Pipes and
tubes are in bris't request and the
leading interest ha? withdrawn pi ices
and not;Iied the trade that no orders
will be taken for shipment this side
of June 1. Sheet and tinplate mills
were never so rushed and fancy prem
iums prevail.
In the wool market firmness pre
vails and in the centers ir foreign
grades, arrivals of which sre very
heavy. Stocks of domestic wool are
small, though sales thereof are of mod
erate proportions and many grades are
cleaned up. The mills are still run
ning on worsteds, and therefore staple
wools are in good demand. General
opinion points to less contracting in
ltne West this season than for several
years, owing largely to high money,
moderate interest in domestic wools
and the tendency of the mills to carry
only what wool is actually needed.

BUG MAN COMING AGAIN
More Experiments on Farm of
Walter Ratliff.
TO CONTINUE TILL 1911
W. J. Phillips, the bug man, will
arrive in this city within the next two
weeks and will begin his field opera
tions, as soon as the weather be
comes favorable. This year's experi
ments on the farm of Walter Ratliff
west of the city, will begin the third
year of the series of experiments
which will continue until 1911. The
insectary will still be maintained at
this point and about thirty cages will
be constructed in which this year's in
vestigations will be made. The cages
will be three feet square and covered
by wire netting on the outside, while
cheese cloth will be placed on the in
terior that the insects may not make
their egress. Small windows will be
placed in each cage that Mr. Phillips
may watch the developments and
gradual growth of the work, made by
the creatures on the plants within.
The plants with which Mr. Phillips
will experiment during the summer
are wheat, rye, clover, buckwheat,
cheat, timothy and several kinds of
wild grasses. The insects will be
placed in the cages and the effects
of their work, closely watched, day by
day.
Mr. Phillips has been spending the
winter at the government division of
Etomology at Washington, D. C,
where he has further carried on his
experiments with the data and mater
ials secured on the Ratliff farm last
summer.
John D. Is Unconcerned.
Augusta, Ga., March 16 John D.
Rockefeller was seen Friday just as
he was preparing to go out on the
golf links at the Hampton Terrace and
asked for a statement on the present
condition of the stock market.
"I am enjoying myself now," said
Mr. Rockefeller, "and letting the stock
market alone. I am here to rest. Fur
thermore, my daughter, Mrs. McCor-
mick, is ill and I am looking after her
just now."
The best that could be gained from
the richest man in the United States
was that he was here for a rest and
was not worrying about the market.
