At meeting of prominent citizens in Port land Maine, whereat petition for longer vacation in the public schools was presented to the city authorities many complaints were made concerning the existing school system
 Most of those present concurred in the state ment that the pupils in the primary and grammar schools are overworked. One speak
 or, physician, said that he did not believe single doctor had put his name to that peti- tion for a longer vacation who has not come to the decision that our school system is de stroying the health of many of our best youth. Consumption is taking off large portion of our young and the breathing of air over and over again in crowded and ill., ventilated school room is one great cause. Nervous diseases are wonderfully on the in- crease. Overstudy and mental work stand at

HECK
PERFECT BAKING POWDER.
A FAIR TEST.

To the Editor of the Journal & Courier:
 Sir:-The contract for supplying the United States government with seventy-fve thousand (75,OOO) lbs. of Baking Powder during the en- suing year has been awarded to Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder it having been tested by Dr. Ed ward G. Love, analytical chemist for the government, and recom- mended by him for it's excellence and because it contained a higher percentage of gas (which means it will make lighter bread and bis- cuit) than either the "Royal'' or the other cream tartar baking powders which he examined. The samples analysed by pr. Love were furnished by the government com- missiOners, and were without the .z2arufacturer's label or name, anu designated with a number known only to the commissioners.
 It will thus be seen that when Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder submitted to an imp artia1 test it's superiority is acknowledged, and the popular verdict so emphat- ically expressed in it's favor is fully sustained.

The Independent Republicans of Pennsyl- vania are not yet subdued. The call for a State convention to be held in Philadelphia May 24 is out It says, among other things: Should the convention of May 10 fail to nominate as its candidates men who, in their character, antecedents and affiliations are en- canism, free from the iniquities of bossism, and of an honest administration of public af- fairs, free from the evils of the spells system, such nominations, or any one of such nomi- nations, should be emphatically repudiated by the Independent convention of May 24, and by the Independent Republicans of Pennsylvania in November next" This is the right kind of talk.

Those who govern the insane asylum at Middletown would not feel fattered if they could hear what is said about them on &C., count of the escape of Andersen, the Walling- ford murderer. They might say, however, in reply to the criticisms made that the asy- lum is no place for men like Andersen, and they would tell the truth. Why not have an extra building for insane convicts put up in the prison yard at Wethersfield?

A Grand Testimonial Benefit Con cert In
Aid OF Es. IL. Hayes.

FREMONT, Ohio, Jan. 5.-The r. b. Hayes
benefit, which was given last night at Peck
sniff Grammar School No 2. was an occasion
of unprecedented interest. Hayes was for
merly of some prominence in Methodist and
political circles here, and was supposed to be
wealthy. It was lately ascertained, however,
that he is so poor that his townsmen feared
he would become a charge on the town, and
resolved to raise the money necessary to Sc
cure his admission into the Old Mems Home
at Cleveland. This was thought to be the
best disposition of him. He is not an old
man, but his conversation is senilely childish
and his mind, which was never strong,
seems broken. His penuriousness is proven
bal, and las tight as old Hayes" means to q
Fremonter the top notch OF niggardliness.
The latter quality made him far from pop
ular with his fellow ~citizens. Still, when
they heard that he was poor, they determined
to do something for him. reasoning, vi
