Appleton Debating Society.

On Monday evening last, through the
kindness of Mr.. VIM. Homewood, Esq,
we had the pleasure of attending the de-
batting society at Appleton. The subject
under discussion was: "That Education
is a greater Preventive of Crime than
Punishment. On the affirmative were
Messrs. VIM. Homewood, John Kimble,
and the negative side was represented by
Messrs, VIM. Wade Barney Moore, and
John Mullin of this town. The question
was we'll argued. Wr. Homewood put
forth some very forcible truths, and Mr..
Wade, Mr, Moore and Mr.. Mulin made
grent effort to show the judges where the
gentleman was wrong; each presenting
illustrations of how punishment had
made man better creature and that a
terrible doom hung even before him lin
the shape of punishment) to guido him
on the right course, and desist from evil
doing Mr.. Homewood and Mr.. Kimble
refuted these arguments with facts.
They asked the gentlemen to look at the
jails and penitentiaries. A living tomb
crowded with beings, illiterate and ignor-
ant and having minds but little higher
than the lower order of animals They
also showed that it cost more to prosecute
the criminals of this State than it would
cost to give each individual free educa.
ton. These facts seemed to strike the
judges very forcibly and the decision was
named in tho affirmative. The question
for next Monday night is one that, at thi:
day, is seriously agitating the interests OF
the Employer and the employee. The
Tariff Question.
We were very much pleased with the
evenings visit to Appleton and hope to
be able to get acquainted with ''the boys
about the corner. The public is respect
fully invited to be present ON Monday
night. Messrs. VIM. Dean, VIM. Home,
wood, David Scott and others will debate
on the question of Tariff.

Newark Weather.

Mr.. Editor-The writer has seen a
great deal of weather OF various kinds
and in different parts of the country,
but during the last. two weeks lie has
been made aware of the fact that when
Newark starts out to have weather she
won take n back seat for. any place
this side of tlie Rocky Mountains.
She can produce larger line of
samples OF bad weather on short no. ice
than any other factory we ever heard
of.
just take the first days of this week
for AN example. To the square foot
she carried 500 pounds OF weather, and
had eight railroad men sitting on the
safety valve. But turn your attention
for u moment to the streets Just
look at the ice crop. Why Mr.. Editor,
the ice cropped up all over town. In
fact it is still cropping. 1t knocked
the drygoods market o II into pie. Cloth
ing went away down. A reliable in
formant tells me that he saw one suit
go down a hundred per cent, for the
simple reason that the pavement
wasn't strong enough to hold up the
ice and the man who wore the suit at
the same time,
We cannot understand why people
were in such n hurry. why there was
Il man down near the postoffice who
went SO fast that he bid fair to rival
BILLY Warner" There is a fight of
steps down there leading to subter-
ranean oyster house. The man was a
large person, small at both ends, and
he started across II slippery place, steer
ing for tomato can and a cabbage
leaf, which lay due North East of him.
All at once he seemed to change his
mind. One foot persisted in going
East while the other went West, and
then, by u most extraordinary feat in
steering, he turned around South, and
just as we supposed he was going
across the street to have a tooth pulled
he whirled around again and shot
down over those steps and went bang
into the oyster cellar.
He didn't live there, it was too soon
after dinner to be hungry and what he
went in for we are unable to say. We
didn't ask him, for fear he might be
sensitive man.
Such people ought to be arrested for
trespassing, if they have no more deli
cacy than to intrude themselves upon
peoples privacy in this way. There il
no joke in having perfect stranger, q
man that you never saw before, spread
himself in thin layer all over your
floor. We hope the Newark polic'
will arrest such people. They are evi
dentally Migrants for they have nj
means of self.support.
The weather still continues and W,
are looking for a new variety every
hour. Talk about your shot guns
your tar and feathers, and every othe
kind of revenge but if you have I
grudge against any one, just invite hin
to take a walk on Newark pavemen
after she has been having it'll
weather, and you will have enough sat
isfaction to delight Modoc.

The Wanamaker Sensation.

John Wanamaker makes a fine Display
for the new year. He begins by saying
he is careful to avoid sensations, ETC., and
then makes the biggest one of the sea-
son. He's right. He don't seek "sensa-
lions" in anything, but he can no more
help it than a modest girl can help being
pretty. Such an immense reduction sale,
honest and real, as his sensations" are,
will make the dull January days very
lively, even for that lively wonder-world

Rannenings of the Wax.

The week just closed was one of un-
usal calamity, both from storm aud fire.
The first day Or two it was intensely cold,
followed on Tuesday by drenching rains.
AS far South as Atlanta, Georgia, the
mercury touched zero, and the poorer
inhabitants of that city suffered greatly.
The Atlanta OOnitiIution, made an appeal
to the citizens, and generous response
was made by the more thrifty. Wood,
provisions, etc, were distributed without
stint to the poor sufferers. Some Is, 600
or 10, 900 was thus used in the way of need
ed charity. The cold wave was general
throughout the States causingmuch suffer-
ing everywhere. Disastrous fires were
never more frequent. The burning of the
Convent at Belleville, Illinois, proved
sickening holocaust. Some twenty
or thirty women were burned to a crisp.
The doors were so securely locked that
many of the poor supplicating girls could
not be reached in consequence. The door
leading into the building had TO be bat
tered down before the citizens and fire
men could work at all. 1t appears the
building had no fire escapes, or if it had,
the poor frightened creatures forgot it in
their frantic excitement. No watchman
guarded the building, and no ladders
could be found capable of doing good and
effective service. This is a sad lesson of
not being properly provided for in such
calamities All similar institutions can
not fail to learn wise lesson even from
this terrible sacrifice of human life.
Many other fires occurred in different
parts of the country to greater or less
extent. A church and theatre were de-
stroyed by fire at Cleveland on Saturday
last, involving loss of $500, 900.
1t has been computed that the
property destroyed by fire in 1883 cost
more money than did the total consump-
ton of coal and wood in the United
States for the same period. 1t was high
up into the millions.
On Saturday afternoon last, two young
ladies, Miss Ollie Mayer, aged about Is,
and Miss Sadie Marsden, about l6 years
Of age, drowned in the Susquehanna,
near Wilkesbarre, Pa, while out skating.
Miss Mayors mother drove the jolly,
laughing girls to the rivers brink, where
she left them, cautioning them to be
very careful. Their answer to this was,
1--WE will, good bye" These were the
last words spoken by a beloved daughter
to a loving mother The girls had skated
but few yards before they suddenly
; came upon thin, treacherous ice, and
before they could recover, the ice gave
way, and both girls disappeared. A num-
Der of skaters attempted to rescue them,
but their efforts proved futile, and Miss
Mayors words as she sank for the last
time were, "Good-bYe." How little we
heed the dangers of skating. The above
is but one of many sad accidents of this
character,
Cape May has lost about twenty-five
thousand dollars by the late storm. The

Seventh Anniversary.

On Wednesday evening the Woman's
Missionary Society Presbyterian Church
favored the public by treating them to
two lectures the same evening. The
Missionary Society was formed by the
ladies of this town on November 18th,
1877, in the lecture room of the Church.
The Secretary's report was read, showing
what condition the society is in. How, at
times, there were struggle and discourage.
ment, but the society working in noble
cause, has brayely pushed ON and is do
ing their mite of good. The Treasurer's
report was read showing disbursement
of the funds that, from time to time, had
been in the Treasurer's hands. In the
year 1888 the amount paid out was $261.-
II, during the first year but $24 was sent
to foreign and home missions.
The Pastor Of the church introduced
Mr.. Barakat, husband of Mrs. Layaah
BaralIat, who gave description of Syria
and his home. How Christians are perse-
cuted, aud hunted down like criminals
aud are shot OF put to death by the sword.
Mrs. Layaah Barakat entered the church
as her husband closed his discourse, ac-
companied by Miss Maize Williams dress
ed in Egyptian costume. Mrs. Barakat
fully explained the dress, and how the
ladies are expected to appear when
on the street. or in doors. The face is
completely hidden by heavy veil of lace,
while the figure is enveloped in a white
sheet. Miss Williams made very pretty
Egyptian woman, but, to judge from the
miserable lives these people lead,
we think it is much pleasanter to act
Egyptian in Christian land. The lee
turer carried us 10 Syria and gave a
glowing description of that country. We
stand oil Mount Lebanon, and behold in
the distance a woman coming toward the
mount with a child. She approaches one
of the many rag trees and pluoks the
leaves from the troe placing some Of
them on the child's head and few in its
bosom, in her ignorance, thinking thif
will bless her and her Child; the sacrifices
made by the Syrians; what wonderful
hardships they will endure, thinking that
they are pleasing their god; how a woman
will walk miles in her bare feet, bleeding
and torn, to make sacrifice; why ought
we not sacrifice ourselves to do little
toward converting Mohammedans tC
the Christianity? We have done very
much and can do much more; whsI
missionaries were first sent to Syria
they were looked upon as curiosities; the
natives wondered what sort of people
they were and what they wanted; the
children were then taught to run and hide
