SUCCEEDERs AND THEIR SUCCESSORS.
We publish below list of the teach
ers of the Lancaster Schools since the
present building was occupied, Gin the
winter of 1900. Pains and time have
been taken to make this list correct;
but, owing to lack of records, there may
be some errors, and we would be glad
to be informed if any are discovered. 1t
is believed that this partial history of
the School will be of interest to our
readers. and we suggest that those most
directly concerned might do we'll to cut
it out for future reference. We would
be glad for contributions giving the
record still farther back. or supplying
any interesting incidents of the School
in the past.

given at Montfort on Friday evening,

for the new tobacco warehouse Just

saloon near by, where the usual fruit
of such places ripened into a drunken

The McLIMAN's ALExANDRINE.-
Monday morning last Judge j. T. Mills
went TO Madison to assistthe McLiman's
case in drawing its last breath. The
plaintiff, when rendered the $4,000
awarded by the supreme court some
time ago, refused the money as full
settlement, claiming $500 rs interest
on the Judgment since 1884. This was
refused and it is this question which is
now before the supreme court for its
decision. Attorney Cseary, of Carter
~ Cleary, PIattcvllle, took the other
horn of the dilemma, md thus this
celebrated case. like a wounded snake,
drags its SLOW length along.

with the churches hereabout, will deeply
sympathize in their loss. Mr.. Eaton is
entering upon the seventh year of sig
nally successful pastorate. Three hun
dred have been added to the church
during the six years, and there has been
no communion without additions. The
attendance en- the prayer-meetings has
doubled; the beneficent contributions
have quadrupled. The seating capacity
of the house has more than once been
increased, and a farther enlargement is
decided upon. For the sake of his life
work in future years, and in accordance
with medical advice, Mr. Eaton will de-
vote period to complete rest and rec
reation. We heartily hope it may be
possible Ultimately to retain him in this
vicinity. He has brought the Oak Park
church to an efficiency surpassed by
none in our suburbs and by few in the
city In our benevolent and evangeliz-
ing enterprises his counsel has been
greatly priced. Members of the Con-
gregational Club will not soon forget

remarkably humorous speech which
sent great audience into shouts of
laughter, he went off in q coach with
three young men who greatly admired
him. They waited patiently for the
quips and jokes they fancied so bright
a wit must constantly involve from his
inner consciousness. They were amazed
to see hum peculiarly sad aud quiet. At
last he said: ''The world will ALWAYS
honor the teacher and despise the
clown. Would to God that had never
cracked a joke. but now everybody ex-
poets me to be funny and [ am obliged
to be So" He then relapsed into silence
and the young men, appreciating his
feelings, were silent to the end of the
iourney.-Er

There is a profession which many people know
nothing of. It is that of the man who models
the human figure, but not in clay He models
in cloth An expert in this art can demand a
large salary, and is always sure of employment
in the large tailoring houses. A reporter visited
fashionable uptown tailor to have talk with
one of these artists. He was introduced to
dapper little Frenchman of about forty five
years.
"You have had large experience in your pro-
fession supposep asked the reporter.
Il have given it my constant study for nearly
twenty years. and the more l see of it the less
faith have in the common sense of most OF my
patrons"
That's rather broad assertion to make"
Nevertheless it is true and becoming more so
every day. You Americans are, of all people,
the least satisfied with what nature has given
you. You are always trying to go one better
than nature, and instead of trying natural
means, in the way of taking plenty OF air and
muscular exercise, you substitute the pad and the
corset"

music hall of the Exposition building, the price
of admission not to exceed fifty cents to each
lecture, and that the committee be also empow-
cred to engage the hall
One of the directors suggested that Henry
Ward Beecher's price for a lecture, $500, was
rather high

composed of six lectures, the last one to be on

frontage of square openings, and the occupants

Then the door opened from the little private par

There was no covert arranging OF toilet, no IN
