NORFOLK WEEKLY NKWS-JOUKNAL : FRIDAY. MAY 201908.
SOCIETY I Events of the $ t
? Week in Norfolk *
U'hlH IIIIH bewi distinctly commence
ment week. Norfolk lias turned her
mind to matleTH HcholnHtle , although
poHhlbly It night he mild that the HO-
clal Hide n | Htudy-llfe IIIIH been most
In mind. Hut the weck'u program has
had a rightlul place on the education-
nl IIH well IIH the Koclal program. It
IIIIB been the reward of Htudy and the
omphiiHlh has been placed on these
who persevered and micce-eded In
utinly.
Norfolk WHS happy this week to give
what honor she could , social or other
wise , to the graduate , to the young
man In black no less than to the
Bweet girl graduate. The Bweet girl
graduate dilfto naturally Into her own.
The young man who has won his hon
ors just as well IB too often neglected.
AB a matter of fact , the city ahould
be proud of the masculine part of her
high bcbool graduates of ' 08. In man
ner and In real merit they do not fall
below the standard that Norfolk might
wish to always BOO maintained In her
graduates. This is not slighting the
Bweet girl graduate a dear public
has already claimed her na their own
and words of approbation In that di
rection are lost In the general chorus.
But the events of commencement
week : Sunday the class sermon by Dr.
Tindall , Wednesday evening the junior
reception at the homo of Miss Inez
Vlele , Thursday n delightful senior
picnic at the Yellow Banks , Friday
evening the crowning commencement
and Saturday night the annual alumni
reception and welcome to the now
alumni.

Norfolk people always look forward
t the musical recitals given annually
by the students of Prof. Ludwlg

pleasure. His two annual recitals

Saens. This composition Is n vlvlc
tone picture of the ' "cemetery dance'
or dance of death. Pupils are usually
nt their best at these recitals and the
custom certainly has a stimulating
effect upon their work. There Is
nothing like competition to awaken
the pride of a student and If his or
her standard Is low , it is rarely pos
slblo to find one who will not n

THINKS TOY REAL.
Pet Spaniel Jumps Into Baby Carriage
to Rescue Child.
Now York , May 23. Mrs. Eugene
Roworth's baby , Eleanor , lulled by
the warm brcezo and the sun , lay
asleep in her baby carriage on the
front porch at Montclalr heights , N ,
J. , today.
Eleanor clasped in her small arme
a new toy , a stuffed dog , whoso fierce
appearance earned for It the name of
"TlK" from Mrn Hnworth. Alongside
the carriage lay Judy n cocker spaniel
much alive , alert to protect Eleanor
from Imrtn.
After u while Eleanor awoke nnd be > -
gan to cry. As Mrs. Hownrth hurried
to her little one she saw Judy gel tip
and rest her fore paws on the car
riage , plainly to Icaiti what ailed the
Kiddle. There and then Judy caught
slKht of "Tlge" for the first time.
OoubllcHH Judy thought a strange
dangprotiH and ugly dog was at the
baby's throat. In a Hash Judy waste
to the rescue. Snarling low and llerco
she sprang Into the carriage to seize
the threatening "Tig. " Judy'u Impet
uous weight was too much ; over went
the carriage and down the porch
steps , baby nnd all. lOleanor shriek
ing , Mrs. UoKorth screaming , Judy
howling , but shaking "Tlgo" furious ;
ly. The anxious mother picked up
Eleanor and rejoicing found the bnby
was only slightly bruised.
"Tlge , " torn to bhreda was found
In n lot back of the Iloworth house.
But Judy had not returned home late
at night. Perhaps the dog realized
she had jeopardized the Innocent she
had tried to save.
FUTURE OF WOE.
Engineer Predicts Time When Coal
and Wood Will be Gone.
New York , May 23. Dr. Charles
Stelnmetx , consulting engineer of the
General Electric company at Shenec-
tady , and professor of electrical en-
Incerlng at Union college , painted a
oleful picture yesterday of what life
111 be in the world when the conl
upply has been exhausted , when Hie
atnrnl fertility of the soil has been
sed up and when the population 'ins '
argely Increased. He thought ulti-
: nately the people of the earth would
ave to look to electricity for
eat ; would have to depend on it to
ofertlllzo the earth , for food and
lathing to keep people alive.
Dr. Ste-inmetz spoke in the hall of
lie American1 Institute of Electrical
Ingineers to the students nnd friends
f the New York Electrical Trade
chool. His subject was "The Future
f Electricity. "
"You who sit in this room , " he said
will see the time when there will bee
o more hard coal. You may see the
line , too , when supplies of soft coal
re so far removed that they won't
e worth while bringing to the people
t can't last very long. And there Is
possibility that some day people
vill wake up to the fact that soft
oal poisons the atmosphere. Then
hey may prohibit it. But It can't be
very great while before we must
eek for some other means than coal
or keeping warm. Wood has long
ince been discarded , as coal must
e. What next ?
"It seems to me that our best hope
3 electricity. But we must have
tower for that. With coal out of the
uestion where is the power to come
rom ? The solution of the problem
eems to be our natural water power
f which we use so very little now. "
WAGON FOR HEARSE.
A/ishes / of Indiana Farmer Carried Out.
Funeral Plain and Simple.
Bloomington , Ind. , May 2 : ! . In nc-
: ordance with the last wishes , ex
pressed as he lay on his deathbed ,
araes Baxter , Civil War veteran , ng-
d 71 , who lived on his farm near1
Bloomington , was conveyed to his
; rave In his old farm wagon. His
amily carried out his wishes In de-
ail , principally that there be no
learse , no flowers , no eulogy , and
even no city manufactured coffin. An
old box which had been on the farm
was the man's casket.
The deceased in his lifetime had
ived "the simple life. " He detested
he ostentation of his neighbors and
: ias always expressed himself In favor
of the nddress In which a famous ora-
or asked that "flowers you mean to
send for my coffin , send to brighten
and sweeten ray life before It leaves
me. "
And ho would quote the orator fur
ther :
"If my friends have alabaster boxes
laid away full of fragrant perfumes
and affection which they intend to
break over my coffin , I would much
rather that they bring them out In
the world and troubled hours and
open them , that I may be refreshed
and cheered while I need them. I
would rather have a plain coflln , with
out a flower , a funeral without an
eulogy than a life without the sweet
ness of love and sympathy. Let us
learn to anoint our friends before
their burial. Post-mortem kindness
does not cheer the burdened spirit.
Flowers on the coflln cast no fra
grance backward over thr weary
way. "
Mr. Baxter carried out the senti
ments of these words literally , nnd j
asked his friends to respect his. He
lived near Payne , in Salt Creek town
ship. He was born , lived and died
on the same farm.
CORN PRICE UP.
Former Mayor of Evanston Boosts
Golden Cereal ,
Chicago , May 23. Patten pyrotech
nlcs blew the corn trade Into a frencj
of excitement. Within about three
minutes the" grain rose 3 cents , to 70
cents , which , with two exceptions IB
the loftiest mark the golden cereal
ever has reached In the history of the
board of trade.
The Patten millions piled up will
the advance to what extent Is purel >
a nmttter of conjecture. With Jamee
A. Patten at the top of the heap raan >
In the trade would have J. Ogden Ar
mour at the bottom but knowing ones
say that country shippers nnd a cot
orlo of the less pretentious Wai
street operators arc the prlnclpa
sufferers.
Nature has been Patten's princlpa
nnd most powerful ally , not only be
fore nnd at harvest time but now.
Of course , UK * plentiful millions have
had their part In giving formidableness -
ness t : > the big "corner" but the cloud
and the sun have pla.ved the ntellnr
nib's. Country dealers handlers
throughout Illinois , Indiana , Iowa and
NehniRkn principal short the mar
ket , have the grain at hand to deliver
on their contracts which expire with
the month , but the recent heavy rains
have called n halt to their shipping
operations.
Whllo the1 uninitiated galleries flut
tered and wiggled with the excltment
born of the bhywnrd leap of May
corn , the former mayor of Evanslon
was glancing over the weather map ,
apparently oblivious to what was
transpiring in the seething pit. He
was to all appearances , the least In
terested man In the corn trade.
The extent of Mr. Patten's holdings
with those of his conferee and busi
ness partner , William H. Bartlett , Is
not known to anybody outside of
their own olllce , but men who have
tried to follow the progress of the
deal figure that he holds approximate
ly 5,000,000 bushels of the golden
grain. Mr. Patten also Is supposed
to be long about 7,000,000 bushels of
oats which on paper stands him a
handsome profit.
While many of the smaller shorts
have been hard hit by the big rise
In the price of corn , bulls nnd small
caliber have flourished. Those who
have had the courage to stand with
the big operator throughout the deal
are in the proverbial clover. Many
things can happen between now and
the end of the month , but many In
the trade believe that conditions war
rant a further material rise in values
before the beginning of June. Some
of the more radical have gone so far
to mention dollar corn. Eighty-live
cents is a popular figure.
STOLE HER CLOTHES.
Wife Telephoned Police , Who Soon
Recovered Wearing Apparel.
Danville , 111. , May 23. Mrs. Ed
ward Hardy telephoned police head
quarters and asked for the sergeant
on duty. That functionary answer
ed.
"What's that you say , madam ? " he
said into the transmitter.
A response from the other end.
" \V w what ? Your er-er clo
clothes. Oh , yes. All of them ?
Didn't leave a single thing : ' Sure ,
madam , er-er. I mean yes. Indeed ,
madam ; right away. "
And the sergeant got red about the
gills and called a waiting copper.
The copper went to the street as
fast as his legs would carry him ,
came back to the station with Edward
Hardy , 2.1 years old. Mr. Hardy car
ried a bundle under his arm , a large
bundle , and looked sheepishly toward
the sergeant , who told him to open it.
A moment later the charges made
over the telephone against Edward
Hardy by his wife were substantiat
ed. It was proved that he had left
home and taken all of Mrs. Hardy's
clothes with him , and Mrs. Hardy
just couldn't leave the house. That
s why , of course , she telephoned the
ergeant to apprehend her husband ,
and then get the clothes back to her
n as short a time as possible. She
said she just bad to keep a dinner
ngagement in an up-town restaurant
n half an hour.
Five minutes later a bicycle mes
senger delivered the clothes at Mrs.
Tardy's door. Twenty minutes later
she appeared at police headquarters ,
where her husband was still held ,
n another five she had sworn out a
warrant , charging him with theft and
n another five she was two blocks
away and she had her clothes.
O'Neill's Birthday.
O'Neill Democrat : Just thirty-four
years ago the twelfth , at 11:30 : o'clock
i. m. , General John O'Neill , Colonel
Neil Brennan and their loyal tollowers
brought their caravan to a halt on
the O'Neill townsite , and while the
wolf , the deer and the antelope gazec' '
curiously upon the efforts of these
pioneers , they began the building o :
this metropolis. Thirty-four years Is
a long time , jet Col. Brennan says it
seems almost as of yesterday , so rap
Idly has the time flown , but these
pleasant anniversary days are al
ways remembered and celebrated b >
the Colonel , by telling a few remlnis
censes of erstwhile times , and this
Is how we came to get this Hem.
BLOCK SYSTEM ABANDONED.
Some Roads , to Curtail Expenses , Stop
Use of Safety Devices.
Chicago , May 23. In the eagerness
of their desire to cut operating ex
penses to the bone , a number of rail
roads have curtailed the use of thel
block signal systems , which were In
stalled with a view of making travo
safer.
The abandonment of the block slg
nals have thus far been mostly to
branch Hues of road and In the nigh
service on the main lines. This cur
tallment of expenses , which Is re
garded by many railway men as In
excusable even In stress of flnancln
emergency , has spread to both east
crn and western roads , and two o
the systems extending Into the north
west country. In the words of on
western vice president yesterday , threads
roads to which reference Is made ar
"skating on thin Ice. "
This action by the comparative ! )
few roads , among which are some o
the larger systems , Is viewed by manj
with alarm , and It Is confidently ex
pected that there will bo an cxplosloi
If the matter becomes public know
edge. News that some of the road
have temporarily abandoned the us
of some portions of their block slg
nals for train operation Is said t
have been given to the Intcr-stat
commerce commission , and an In
vestlgntlon tuny follow. The commission -
mission has no power to compel rail-
oiuls to adopt uny particular method
f train operation , but It Is well
IIOVMI that If the knowledge beeomi'H
while , public opinion would compel
he roads In question to resume full
se of their safety devices.
In defense of their action the of-
elals of the roads making the
Imnges declare that on the lines In
uestion there are no more than one
r two freight trains a day , where
liere used to be nt least four , and
hat the passenger train r.ervlco has
leen cut down to a point where train
Iteration by means of the time card
ml the train dispatcher can be connoted -
noted with ns great safety as for-
lerly by the old of the block signals ,
'he operation of what are known as
manually conl rolled" block signals
s expensive , nnd the railroad olllclals
nuking the changes Insist that they
lave not done eo where safety would
bo diminished.
