hotels disseminating the sale of liquor
out of respect to the nuisance law.
This indicates one of two things.

EXTRACT FROM THE HARTFORD EVEN
ING PosT.-"Has new system of life
insurance been devised that is to revo-
lutionize the whole life business, doing
away with the necessity of accumulat-
ing and holding large reserves? 1t is
evident that such is the case from the
excitement and uneasiness manifested
by the old line companies and the gen.
eral cutlery of their journals. The
world moves, moneyed monopolies can
not stop it. The school master of TO-
day is progress and improvement, and
the people will welcome such system
enabling them TO provide for their de-
pendent ones securely, at the smallest
possible cost. The company introduce
ing, "The Safety Fund System of Pro-
tection," and claiming to do this, is the
Hartford Life and Annuity Insurance
Company."-Evening Post d. S.

Among other intended changes at
he college we learn that President
Ilamlin proposes to have one of the di-
visions of Painter Hall fitted upfor the
college library, which is very much
in its present location in the
chapel. The plan is to remove all the
loors and fit the walls of the whole four
stories with shelves, giving access TO
he books by means ofgalleries. A fine
library room can be made in this way
which will afford all the room the books
will need for a long time to come. The
and natural history specimens
,an then be arranged in the present
library room, We are informed that
Pres. Hamlin has secured has secuced
to the amount of $500 to
AIRY out these plans. We are glad to
tote these evidences of wisely directed
Energy on the part ofthe new president,
md believe the changes will meet the
hearty approval of every alumnus and
friend of the college, as well as the un-
students.
GA Week in Venice" was the sub
ect of the lecture at school house hall
last Monday evening by Rev. NJ. b.
Hulburd. 1t was not only beautiful
and eloquent in language and of deep
interest throughout but full of instruc-
ion. Scenes of past romance and
'plendor were brought so wildly be-
fore the mind that the nearer seemed to
read marble halls with Desdemona
md float down moonlit canals, among
lighted palaces and gloomy prisons,
lmong ancient statuary ana scenes of
historic interest. The lecture was rich
IN quotations from great authors and
travellers, as well as exact dates and di-
mansions. Descriptions of objects of
interest were SO minute and lifelike that
one could see them fully with mental
Vision and would suppose that nearly
very thing of historic interest could be
'ound in Venice and in Venice only.
Very charming to the youthful mind
ire delininations in strong and pure
language of the dim mysteries of an
,ient romance and history blending
with the practical present, where
wrought by gifted artists
ong ago, stand revealed in the sun
light of to-day.
