your chance for obtaining a situa-
ton as teacher before you COM
plete the course Of study for the
high school, is small indeed; but |
would say to them, when you have
completed that course and have
demonstrated your fitness in other
respects, You shall occupy the first
vacancy, and You shall have good
pay. This will, IL is true, con-
stantly introduce inexperience, but
that is no serious objection in an
assistant teacher when that inex-
perience is coupled with a good
education. Nothing on the face of
the earth, according to my notion,
Is more intolerable in q teacher
than ignorant experience. In others

Fires Last Night.

Shortly after midnight last night two fire
alarms were turned in from Box IA, which
brought the Department to burning four
story brick building near the corner Of Wal
nut and Court streets The fire burned
fiercely and destroyed the entire inside of
the building and its contents, and it was
only by the greatest exertions that the fire.
men prevented it from spreading After a
long fight however, with plenty of water
at their command, the Department sue
ceeded in gaining the mastery over the
flames without much damage being done
except to the one building. The occupants
of the burned premises were Messrs. Mer-
rill, Thorpe & Lloyd, who kept a drug fac
tory in the upper stories, and Victor
Schroyer who had laboratory on the lower
floor. The loss to the drug factory is about
$40, 900, and to the laboratory about S., 900.
On the latter there is no insurance. The
building belonged to S. N Pike and is fully
insured.
At 8 O'Clock the masquerade costumes in
the second story of No. 1856 West Fifth
street. occupied by C. & T. Renau, took
fire in some way and caused the alarm from
Box 4. The fire was extinguished, however,
before more than 81 900 damage was done
upon which there is 500 insurance.

What Might Have Been Heard.

Almost any day during the Centennial, a knot OF
physicians might have been seen gathered around
the elegant glass case, standing In the Main build

back, spinal and kidney diseases, sciatica. lumbs-
go, sprains and bruises and all aches and pains of
