from personal use in former years, began taking
1t for the above-named disorders. My appetite
improved almost from the first dose. After a
short time the fever and itching were alayed, and
all signs of irritation of tie skin disappeared. My
catarrh and cough were also cured by the same
means, and my general health greatly improved

THE JUNIOR PRIZE CONTEST

18th, and after getting outside of an excellent
supper, we followed the crowd to Quinby's
Opera House. As a stranger we were much
impressed with the cultivated and refined
character of the audience, (leaving out tie
fact that your pencil-pusher is bachelor, he
would say that he would observe right here
that the world is full of handsome ladies, but
that Wooster contains as many to the square
foot as any city in the Union.) The music
for the evening was rendered by Miss Dors
Henninger, Cleveland's famous soprano, who
was supposed be lost on the wreck of the
Cambria; Frank j .Isham, tenor; J. B. Long,
basso; Mrs. F. Isham, pianist. Their re.
ception was very cordial and enthusiastic, be-
ing called for again and again. We would
desire to make especial mention of the sing

niments of Mrs. Isham. The orations were
more than usually good. The first prize was

Special Correspondence to the Chrenicle.
WOOSTER, Ohio, June 90, 1888.
Your correspondent failed to reach here un-
til the evening OF the 18th, and thus will be
unable TO report in full, which he would much
desire to do. Being cognizant of the fact that
there will be heavy pressure upon the col
umns of The CHRONICLE in the coming issue,
space pleads exceeding brevity, and We will
have to conform, and refrain from writing
much that is worthy of especial mention. The
intelligence of your readers and their interest
in the cause of education, the widespread Cir
culation of The CHRONICLE, even in foreign
lands, makes us very desrous of recording for
perusal the incidents connected with such an
interesting occasion, and an institution of
such universal renown. We will not nOt1
write of Wooster. As we sped swiftly up
the valley, it seemed the hollow in the hand
of Providence, and that here the choicest
blessings were gathered together; then, as We
saw the church spires in the distance, we
knew that this people had hesrkened unto the
Word as recorded in Malachi iii 10, that they
had ''tred and proved the Lord of Hosts,
and that He had opened the windows of
Heaven and poured out blessing until there
was not room enough to receive it.
