How stanley Matthews Traded the Toledo
Post once for Votes.

y few days since very prominent citizen
OF Cincinnati visited Toledo who was en- route
To- fui-in- Bay. THIS gentleman said that he
SUPPOSED h" was one 81 the parties who was
Instrumental ia bringing Reed and Matthews
together. He wa- at Columbus during the Son
Htnridl contest. IN tn" interest Of Matthews. He
talked with Rcd. and Hsccrtaiued that h. was
for TAFT. and that he hnt or claimed a. control,
from three 10 five votes Of the Northw, stern
ONO delegation. IL SAW that Il ed was anxious
for something. ami he inferred from certain
words and hints that hr dropped, that he could

PUBLIC BATHs.--The heat, sickness
and dust Of the summer months cannot be
much longer delayed, and we take occa-
sion TO renew our suggestions concerning
public baths. The Establishment OF
gratuitous baths for the public would be
u blessing to hundreds who have not time
to 80 outside tho city limits to take a
bath after hard days work. Men of
means can take ride Of n few miles after
supper and enjoy good swim in the
river, but accommodations are needed
for those who have no bathroom, no
horse and buggy, no bank account; who
often live in small tenements, and work
all day in shop with even the light Of
heaven shut out from them. Cleanliness
is one OF the greatest representatives. Of dis
sense, and this can only be secured by
frequent additions. II the City Council
will not give this matter attention, prl-
vatc enterprise should take hold OF it.
The generosity Of philosophical citizens
could do no better than 10 dot the river
shore with few free bathing houses.

RECEPTION AT TIE FEMALE COLLEGE,
The reception Of the graduating class
Of the Wheeling Female College, at the
College last night, was an interesting
event In social circles. There were
gathered the families Of many Of our
leading citizens; ripe old age, youth and
beauty were blended together ia one har-
monious picture, pleasant to contemplate.
The annual receptions Of the Female
College are informal affairs; no invita-.
tlons are Issued, but all friends Of the
College are welcome. Consequently there
Is no social barrier, and the occasion Is
one Of rare enjoyment TO all, particular
~ 10 those who do not shine 10 the galaxy
Of society.
The grounds about the College were
brilliantly illuminated with Chinese Ian.
terms, making picturesque scene from
the noisy streets below. The refresh.
ment tables were bountifully supplied and
elegantly served by the young ladies' In
the College Chapel, which was brilliantly
Illuminated by some handsome gas fix.
lures gratuitously furnished by Mr.. Oscar
Seeley. A pyramid cake, composed Of
eleven separate cakes, representing the
eleven members Of the class, was displ ed
upon one Of the tables, and excited great
admiration. The hall was beautifully
ornamented with flowers and eyergreens.
The Sumner Band furnished the music
for the occasion.
The presentation Of tina photographs Of
the graduating class, enclosed IL a hand.
some frame, 10 Miss Taylor, the Princl.
pal, was pleasant feature Of the evening,
The presentation speech was made by
Hon. G. D. Hubbard, and Miss Taylor re-
sponded.
Altogether, the affair was SUCCESS in
every way. Before midnight most Of the
old people had retired, leaving the young
folks to enjoy themselves with terpsicho.
renn pleasures.
We are glad to note the success which
has attended Miss Taylor's management
Of the College. The institution was never
in more llourishing condition, and Is
growing in popularity every day. We all
feel an interest in the Female College, and
take pride in its forward progress.

THE CHrLDREN's HoME FEsnyA1.-
The Festival for the benefit Of the Chill.
dren's Home, 10 which 30 many Of our
citizens have been looking forward with
pleasant anticipations, was iiaugurated
last evening In the large vacant store
room on Main street which had been pre-.
pared Tor the purpose. The room had
been newly papered and painted, and
some improvements in ventilation made,
especially for the occasion, so that II was
rendered both attractive and comfortable.
The leYee at the Female College on
doubt kept good many away from the
festival, yet there was fair crowd In at
tendance during The entire evening,
From Z to 10 o'clock, there was q regular
jam, but soon the old folks began to leave
for their homes, and many youngsters
went over 10 the College, thinning out the
crowd considerably. Towards II o'clock
there was but little buying or selling, and
the fair ladyes who presided at the tables
we mean the young ladies, Of course
enraged in quiet teie.d.tsieS with gushing
SWANS, forgetting for tho moment the
pressing wants Of the Childrens Home
and the establishments usually brought 10
bear on cheerful customers.
To attempt 10 describe the diiler-
ent booths would require more space
than We can spare for the purpose.
They were deliberately arranged, and con.
siderable taste was displayed in the dec.
Orations. The names Of the ladies who
attended the supper, refreshment and
fancy tables have already been published,
and are doubtless familiar 10 our readers.
In addition 10 these, we noticed al the
lemonade stand Misses Matte McCol.
loch, Mary Dickey and Zoe Mcclure, and
at the candy booth Misses Bette Adams,
Sadie Logan and Julia List.
A great attraction with the young
folks was the Blower of Rest" in the
rear Of the store room, which was finely
catpetcd and furnished, and hung with
pictures There could be found the
"spooney couples" slipping their ice
cream at their leisure. A more Appro-
PIRATE name would have been "LOyerR
Retreat" An admission fee OF ten cents
was asked Of those entering the bower,
which was in charge Of Misses Ida Harden
and Lizzie Campbell, Mrs. Kate Ram.
lnelsburg (nee Wheat, Messrs. Brose List,
Sam. Wilson and Charles Franzheim.
The music was furnished by Prof. Joe.
Kramer and his full orchestra, stationed
on platform in the northwest corner Of
the main hall. The festival will be re-
peated tonight.

The street lamp near the southern ex-
tremity Of South Broadway is either nev.
er lighted by the lamplightcr or is ex.
tinguished by some one after it is light
ed, which seems more probable. 1t is
the only lamp upon the street for the dis.

the vicinity are naturally indignant at
thus being left in the dark. I'VE hope
that the proper authorities will invest.

OLp POTATOES TO THE FRoNr.-There
Is great scarcity Of new potatoes in
this market at present, and prices have
recently advanced. Consequently there
is an increased demand for old potatoes,
and some Of our dealers have secured
supplies from Prince Edwards Island.
One firm alone recently received ten car
loads, or about 1000 bushels, from that
source, and have been disposing Of them
at the rate OF 25O and 800 bushels per
day. The old potatoes are perfectly
sound, and besides being much cheaper
than the new crop, are by many consid-
cred more wholesome.
