Notes.
Every citizen o, Springfield takes grea,
pride 10 the fact that the State Convention
will be held In Springfield this year, bu
there are few probably who estimate correctl,
the immense value It will be TO the city
To see comparatively small city like Spring
field, rush In, bear off the convention ire m
all the other cities large and small in tn,
state, and then after finding her opera house
too email, 20 TO work and erect superb
building specially adapted 10 the purpose and
the finest Convention Hall In Ohio, inspires
feeling Of akin to awe In oil parts Of the
state, "what manner Of city 10 this" they
ask, "that bags two out Of three Of the state
conventions, and makes preparation to make

1.-THE indirect advantage to Springfield I
estimate at hundreds Of Thousands of dollars
said prominent citizen the other day "The
city will 10 this way be advertised In every
nook and corne- Of the State, as . lively,
wide.awake, enterprising city. Springfeld's
pluck 10 securing the convention will not fail
to have due weight in influencing manufac-
turers to locate, and capitalists 10 invest here.
Such things have a wonderful influence.
Springfield Is getting an immense reputation
throughout the State for brilliant enterprise
and energy--kind Of small Chicago, ~ II
were. This reputation will act - powerful
magnet 10 draw enterprising business men
and capitalists here, and predict that the
city will sooner or later experience signal
through It. Then look at the ad-
vantage of having our great agricultural
works examined by 1000 or 5000 ot the
most sagacious, intelligent and representative
men from all parts Of the great common
wealth Of Ohio. Many Of them will learn
for the first time the greatness of our factories,
which fact cannot fail to rebound to the
great benefit Of the city. Why, the increased
prestige which will bs given to Springfield
agricultural machinery, will repay tho sub
scription Of each manufacturer 10 the expenses
Of the convention many times over. In addi-
ton to these indirect advantages, the fact
should not be lost sight of that the
visitors to the convention will spend
over $4,000 in money In the two
days while in tho city. This alone
10 handsome sum. In my opinion, the va
rious advantages to Springfield from the con-
vention can hardly be over estimated"
"People lose all common sense At fre,"
said veteran fireman, the other day; "it 10
extraordinary what idiotic things they will
do. They will carry out . g wash-stand
and leave $500 worth Of clothing to burn; or
they will frantically rush ont, hugging dol
lar store clock to their bosom, entirely forget
ting pocket-book containing 500, which
they have lett under the bed. The most ridic-
ulous example of this kind which recollect,
at suburban fire, near this city,
some time ago. As soon a. the FIRE broke
out, the owner of the house developed wild
and burning anxiety about new force pump
which had just been fitted IN . cistern near
the house which was on fire. A. sure a l
am living, that man, assisted by . big party
OF neighbors, actually took that pump out Of
the cistern full Of water, instead Of attaching
. hose, which lay only thirty feet distant from
it. and forcing water on the FIRE. The build
ing was lost, but could probably have been
saved, when it had made little progress, with
. judicious use OF the pump"
1t is subject Of general remark that the
first charge to the jury Of Judge Charles R
White, who took his seat on the bench last
week, was characterized BY unusual acumen
and legal knowledge. Judge White will make
. brilliant record on the bench.
"How is It that Cincinnati
ladies who occosion-
ally wash dishes and house work
have such exquisite white haods," recently
asked q Cincinnati lady whose hands were
beautiful enough to belong to Pamers Greek
slave. 81 will tell you the secret" said she,
"they use India rubber gloves. These gloves
are sold at rubber supply stores. and arc per-
fectly water tight Of course. With herhands
protected by these lady can wash dishes all
day, and at night her hands will be ~ soft
and white as If she had passed the day In ele-
CANT ease. The invention 10 . most useful
one, for ladies in ordinary circumstances who
are forced to do their own work."
The Geo. G. Min tragedy combination 10 .
thing OF the past, 1t having broken up il
Cleveland recently. The Cleveland corre-
spondent of the Enquirer makes . most
vicious attack on Min, using . member OF
the disbanded company - an authority. The
articles claim that Min 10 . horrible ,yrant
at rehersals, that he has violent temper, is
violently profane, etc. Examples are given
Of his severity at rehersals, and . remarkable
story 10 told Of Milo giving . magniacently
passionate reading Of one Of ,he soliliquies
In Macbeth and then swearing at the audi
ence because ii did not applaud him. This
whole attack 10 probably spite work
and untrue. The writer wit
messed the rehersals 0f Macbeth
and Richelieu by the Miln Co., at the Grand
Opera House, and the preacher actor, though
very earnest ia bis work, was at all times &
perfect gentleman and very conside ate Of his
company. Not single prOfane word es-
capped his lips during the entire rehearsal, al
