The resolution includes all of the street except that occupied by the street railway tracks and eighteen Inches beyond each rail, into the roadway. The public hearing on the resolution will be held at the next regular meeting of the board, next Wednesday. The Terre Haute, Indianapolis Eastern railway company, which operates the city lines, through its vice-president, John J.

The last sentence spoken by the educator was a plea for better English. The Rev. Irl. L. Hicks who spoke Immediately afterwards began by saying: "Ladies and gentlemen, please look at your watches.

Let us see where we are at'V-with much emphasis on the "at." But this was not the only thing the Rev. Hicks, weather prophet and all-around scientist, did. In one short hour he explained the universe, settled the question of evolution by condemning it, and threw new light on the miracles of Christ. The only thing which the Rev. Hicks did not discuss was the weather.

He said the subject was too big to handle in so short a time. The Rev. Hicks Is not a mere weather prophet. He is a great astronomer as well who has cooned over and learned the surprising figures about the universe which other astronomers "have worked out. The Rev.

Hicks is full of his subject and he has taken a year off from his observatory in St. Louis to tell the people about it. This was his last lecture and he was homeward bound. He says he will never again appear on the platform as he has not the time. He ventured the assertion that the weather is made by a great weather mill, one of the wheels of which Is the earth and the other the sun.

Two men who came up by train from New York and who are said to be physicians were taken up the incline plane to the Harriman home. One had a small hand bag such as doctors usually carry.

On another train were two tanks of oxygen which were sent up to Har-rlman's house. Harriman now has with him his entire family.

In this way the school Is partly responsible. Too many times It places the temptation before the Way of God With a Boy. Dr. Forbush gave an excellent ad TAKEN WATER WORKS COMPANY'S BRASS. Col.

McGraw was born ifl Philadelphia in 1827. He came to Richmond when but 9 years of age, and except his absence for war service spent practically his entire life here. At the outbreak of the war he organized Company 57th Indiana infantry, and was commissioned Its first captain. The company left Camp Wayne, Richmond, in November, 1861. Captain McGraw was promoted to the office of major July 28, 1863.

He was made lieutenant colonel May 15, 1864, and colonel May 2, 1865. His regiment was mustered out at Victoria, December 14, 1865. Col. McGraw was wounded twice, in the same place on his forehead, aNthe battles of Nashville and Mission Ridge. Neither would be serious.

After the war Col. McGraw embarked in the carriage making business here. He retired from that business some years ago. He had an attack of paralysis before going to Philadelphia. Col.

McGraw was a prominent member of the Pioneers of 1827, an organisation of those born in that year, which until 1909 held an annual, picnic and reunion. He was one of the oldest members of the I. O. O. F.

W. Wiley, chief chemist of the department of agriculture, confined himself to the technical side of the subject, saying it was not his intention to give an opinion on the effect of bleached flour on the human system or its use in concealing Inferiority or promoting fraud. Exposure to Bunllght or air, constituting what is known as "aging," produced a certain whitening in flour, he said. By chemical means this change of tint could be produced immediately, bo far as appearance was concerned, and a perfectly new flour made to look like an old one. In the highest grades of flour the Inner or whitest part of the berry is separated mechanically.

Dr. Wiley then related the various processes used in chemically treating flour. "The atmosphere itself, probably due to the presence of ozone, produces in a few months practically the same effect, so far as color is concerned, as is produced by the bleaching process," said Dr. Wiley. "But, in addition to the bleaching of flour, other changes go on which in the minds of a great many consumers Improves its quality.

Therefore, there is a general impression, probably founded upon fact, that old flour, or at least certain flour ground from old wheat, is superior to new flour or flour made from freshly grown wheat." Experiments Show Results. Speaking of the results of experiments made by administering quantities of benzoate of soda into the food given to six healthy young men for periods respectively of two months and one month Dr. Russell H. Chittenden, of New Haven, a member of the referee board, said that three-tenths of a gram was administered daily to each subject during the two-months period. In th one-month experiment each man received each day during the first week six-tenths gram; second week, one gram; third week, two grams; fourth week, four grams.

Surely this" administration, when accompanied by a of body weight and without loss of power to digest and absorb the portion and fat of the dally food must be taken as evidence that sodium benzoate in the doses administered is not seriously detrimental to health," said Wr. Chittenden. "I believe the evidence warrants, the opinion that sodium benzoate is no more harmful than corresponding amounts of salt. "Certainly huckleberries, cranberries, plums, prunes and other related fruits contain appreciable amounts of benzoate. In other words, the eating of a small quantity of huckleberries, raspberries or kindred berries is accompanied by the taking Into the system of more benzoate than In the administration of three-tenths of a gram of sodium benzoate.

"In the light of our experiments it Is difficult to say why benzoate ii moderate amounts should be considered any more inimical to health than such a silt as sodium chloride." Other Results Shown. "The evidence from the experiments was so open and unmistakable that no fair-minded person could avoid the conclusion that benzoate In the amounts employed is a perfectly harmless substance," said Dr. Long. "I must admit that In one respect I protected my men and some William Smith, colored, was arrested last evening as he stepped from a Dayton excursion train at the Pennsylvania depot by Patrolman Edwards on the charge of larceny.

This afternoon Dr. Forbush gave the most thoughtful of his lectures, "The Education of Princes." The speaker said that today the boy Is educated in a changed condition of living.

But there Is still much to do In the way of reform In a boy's education.

After speaking for over an hour the learned weather prophet succeeded in says that "the earth is a part of our solar system." Long Good Night Kiss. The prophet made one interesting statement which may cause an emigration to Neptune.

He imparted to the audience the information that a year on Neptune is equal to 164 of our years and then raising his voice with the importance of his subject said: "Ladles and gentlemen do you know how long a good night kiss lasts when two lovers part on the front porch of a Neptune residence? That blissful little thing lasts for eight weeks." Last evening the Rev. Hicks appeared again. The Chautauqua management had taken the prophet off behind a tree and after giving him a lecture for not sticking to his subject Hiked him to take fifteen minutes Just fifteen minutes to explain the system by which he predicted the weather for August. The Rev. Hicks consented readily and appeared promptly at 7:15.
