We have often heard of men prowling

We have often heard of men prowling
around in their sleep, and few times in
our career have heard of love-sick youths
rising and clasping the bed post in a
tender embrace, but until recently our
ears were never startled by the astound-
ing intelligence that calf had 80 far de-
parted from its nature as to engage in
any somnambulistic performance. The
Gait referred to is the property Of O lady
living in Franklin, and who will bear us
out as regards the truthfulness of the
following statement: Last Wednesday,
when the said calf had yielded
to the somniferoas influence of a
hearty dinner and was lying on the
grass, sudden notion Of DECENTRALIZATION
Seemed to take possession 5f its dream
ing faculties, and with one bound he
arose like an extemp0raneous speaker
and ascended the steps leading to the
hall. After promenading as long as he
desired, he bent his steps in the direc-
tion Of the parlor, which place he en-
tered with little less ceremony than a
boy bringing in coal, and advancing to
the center OF the room swept all the
books, photographs and cards from the
table with his caudal appendage, and
walked out on the porch, went half way
down the steps, turned round and walked
out on the porch, went half way down
the steps, turned round ana walked into
the sitting-room, where he might have
enjoyed himself but for his unfortunate
tail, which came in contact with the fire.
He must have suffered greatly before he
awoke, as his indistinct mutterings tes,
tilted. But nevertheless he continued
to sleep until his tail was nearly br0iled.

A meeting OF the prominent members
of the Cincinnati Bar WAS held at 10
o'clock this morning, in Room No. 2 OF
the Court OF Common Pleas, ior the pur.
pose of taking action. in regard to the
death Of Nathaniel Wright. A large at
tendance of members was present. The
meeting was called to order by appoint
ing Judge Fox as Chairman. Mr. s. j.
Thompson acted as Secretary.
The Chairman addressed the NEE ting
in few words, touching on the life OF
the deceased and the loss through his
death the bar had sustained. He was
followed by Messrs. scarborough, Judge
Coffin, j. Woodruff, Judge Hoadly,
E. Bali, Ex-GOv. Noyes, W.S. Groesbeck
and others. The following committee,
consisting Of Messrs. Taft, Ex-Governor
Moves, L. D. Lincoln, Judge Caldwell,
Judge Coffin, r. King and +. Ball, were
then appointed, who drew up the follow.
ing resolutions:
|. Whereas, Nathaniel Wright, who for
more than half a century has been an
honored and respected member OF the
bar, and has finished his course on earth,
Resolved, That the absolute integrity
Of purpose which lay at the foundation
of his character sustained his entire ca
reer--a career commenced in his native
State with successful endeavors aftel
useful knowledge and self-culture, an(
continued with undated zeal as he lef
his early home, moving westward anC
finally settled in Cincinnati, where his
character matured and expanded, and
where now, that he is dead, We are
able to contemplate his long career as
one complete, symmetrical and beauti.
tul human life.
Resolved, That in professional life he
possessed an honorable ambition, q
strong and even anxious sense of re.
sponsibility to his clients and fidelity to
the court, a powerful and analytical
mind for legal Investigations, with clear
hess and cogency In argument, and
an industry and perseverance which
secured to him the highest grade OF pro.
fessional success; while to the young
members OF the bar he was kind and con-
siderate as a father, answering their in.
quiries freely with the best advice; and
in private and social life modest, gentle,
affectionate, but always manly, always
reasonable, always wise. That the close
of such career would be an impressive
and important event in any community,
and would be long remembered in
this as an irreparable loss, but that
his example, though dead, will continue
to teach the living how they may most
nearly approach the perfection of human
character amid the trials of earth.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
spread upon the records of the Court,
and that a copy be presented to the fam
lily OF the deceased.

AENIA, u, May Il, 1915.

ayers, three officers were removed and
others appointed in their places. The
Directors deemed it best to make the
change, otherwise it would not have
been done. The superintendent, Prof.
W. p. Kerr, has managed the Institution
very acceptably in every respect. He
makes most Of the purchases for the in
stitution himself, aud rs very careful to
secure good articles of clothing and pro-
visions, and will not suffer an inferior
article OF anything to be used--and al
ways buys to the best advantage he pos.
sibly can, and keeps himself posted in
the market prices, so that financially he
looks to the interest of the State.
Morally, the condition of the Home
was never as good as it is now, and the
people of the State may we'll congratu-
late themselves that these children are
so highly favored. Our ministers hold
divine service on the Sabbath, and an
excellent Sabbath-schoOl is now in sue

ably unsurpassed by any in the State.

A number of gentlemen that frequently

are seldom referred to-, and that the

very distasteful to our citizens by his
constant reference to politics in his con.
yersations and dealings with them.''

The Centennial Fair.

In spite of the bad weather of last
evening the Lad ieS' Fair at Exposition
Hall was largely attended. Such an op-
portunIty of seeing the whole world rep
resented SO thoroughly and honestly un-
der one roof is seldom presented, and
the public seems to understand and ap-
preciate this fact. Cincinnati is taking
the lead in this as she does in all mat
ters of culture, and the Centennial Ba-
Ear is likely to prove the most success
full entertainment Of the kind ever held
in this city, and the most successf ul and
complete in all particulars of any held
for this purpose in the United States.
Mrs. Gillespie, who is at the head of the
Women's Department of the Centennial,
says that it is the greatest success so
far of any she has yet visited, and is SO
much pleased with some portions that
she will transport them bodily to the
Philadelphia Centennial.
The two prominent features of the
whole affair are the collections OF relics
and antiquities and the elegant costum-
ing of the ladies, who are working so
faithfully for the success OF the immense
affair. Of the former, the number is SO
great that any list of reasonable length
would utterly fail to do justice to the
excellence OF the collection; while of the
uals would only be an injustice TO the
others, whom for lack of space we should
be obliged to leave unnoticed. We can,
therefore, only call attention to the two
departments in general, and advise our
readers to attend and investigate and
particularize for themselves. OF all the
booths or departments representing a
country or section OF country, not one
would prove unworthy OF the whole
evenings study, while taken as glori-
GUS whole the collection is something
seldom witnessed and the occasion one
to be long remembered by those who at
tend.
Among the special features last even.

ladies connected with the enterprise,
