The lecture by Prof. Richardson, of
Sedalia, on the "Lost Atlantis" delivered
at the Baptist church last Thursday even
ing, was more than brilliant success. The
subject was one well calculated to enlist
the attention of an audience, and in this
the lecturer was not disappointed. His
pleasing manner of address, scholarly, abil-
ity and intelligent research into his topic,
well repaid his listeners I, for their coming
out to hear them. The HLost Atlantis
has ever since the days of Plato been a fas-
Icinating study for antiquarions, and its
supposed location matter of varied sur
mise. prof. Richardson added this inter
esting theory 10 the many who have pre-
-ceded him. The amount raised by the
proceeds of the lecture for the public

WANTS 'EM BOUNCED.
The Advisory Committee
and the County Court
And the Work They Accom-
plisbed Yesterday Afternoon.
Judge Taylor Indignant and His
Reasons Therefor.

An advisory committee to act in
conjuncti, u with the county court
was all mete and proper while the
court house was in the course of con-
struction, and it was all well enough
to retain the committee until after the
building was furnished, but Its
mission accomplished, it should
have been discharged. This
was demonstrated yesterday, when,
through the vote of the committee, the
court was compelled to make an or
der as follows:
SIT is ordered that on any three
responsible citizens of the county
signing an agreement to be response
bic for all damages to the room and
furniture therein, the sheriff shall per-
nit the Use of the north court room
for county conventions or public
meetings relating to county affairs
solely, provided that the room, while
SO occupied, is in the custody of the
sheriff"
When the matter was first brought
up, Mr.. Wilkerson, a member of the
advisory committee, introduced a res
slution to the effect that the room re-
ferred to should be used exclusively
for court proposes, but it was voted
down.
Mr.. Lamm then introduced reso-
luton which is embraced In the above
order and it was adopted, Judges
Sentry aud Taylor, however, casting
their votes in the negative and Judge
Anderson in the affirmative, as did
also majority of the members of the
advisory committee, thus bringing
about its adoption.
1.-The order should never have been
made, said Judge Taylor, after the
court had adjourned, "and l want to
be placed on record as voting against
it. Mayor Gentry was with me,
which made two members of the
court opposed to the measure and one
in favor, but the advisory committee
enabled Judge Anderson to carry his
point.
"As the order now stands The court
room could not be utilized in case it
was the desire of nine out of ten tax
payers that a state convention should
be held there. We spent 800, 900 of
the peoples money in erecting the
building and an additional $1,000 in
furnishing it, and now by our action
to-day we virtually say it is too fine
for you fellows who built it and you
cannot enter. No, sir, it is
all wrong. IF the carpets are
too fine to walk upon, or the seats
too fine to sit upon, we should never
have purchased them. Where we
made the mistake was in not discharg-
ing the advisory committee as soon as
We accepted the building"
1t is quite likely that others than
Judge Taylor entertain similar views
and will not be slow in expressing
themselves when they become ac-
quainted with the facts in the case.

To tlse Memory of the Late Joel
B. Gentry.

The following beautiful tribute to
the memory of the late Joel B. Gen
try is from the pen of Major John N.
Edwards, and appeared in the col
umns of the st. Joseph Gazette,
Thursday last:
"The death of Joel B. Gentry, son
of Major William Gentry, of Pettis
county, was peculiarly touching. He
bad scarcely passed the Threshold of
manhood. Nature had given him al
most every capacity to make life en-
joyable. He had youth, health, a
splendid physical development, a ge-
NAL disposition full always of sue
shine, wealth, staunch friends, prof
liable business, the sky above him
without a cloud, and the earth all
about him alluring with those things
which are so delightful to one who is
born to country life. and who goes
often to commune with the trees, the
growing wheat, the cornfelds, and
the running water.
Stricken with heart disease, and
without premonitory symptom of a
single aiiment, he was dead before
even a last farewell could reach his
loved ones. t
Death at any time is always sorrow
full, but to 60 to the graves side when
one is buried who ought to have lived
because of the splendid youth and
manhood that were in him, is to see at
last, and from without the shadow of
a great dark ess, that mans existence
is a mere passing shadow, liable to be
obliterated at the breath of every
passing wind.
The Lord gives and the Lord takes
away. 1t is cruel text from which
to preach sermon, and yet they 60.
The one just gone was true, and gen.
erous. and brave. 1t is something at
last to know that when you take the
hand of another his hand at least viii
never set snares for your entrapment.
To believe that when You give your
confidence a single thought of be-
travail could never enter. To feel
that when once fl. endship has been
welded unto friendship, SANDER can
only tighten its bonds. aud the
schemes of the designing take from it
whatever remained of selfshness.
To every one who knew him as he
should have been known to be appre-
ciated, Joel Gentry served in his brief
lifetime 10 exemplify all that was de-
voted in friendship, all that was up
right in business, all that was noble
in social intercourse, ard all that was
tender, considerate and affectionate in
the home circle. His father leant
upon him as upon a stalwar' scion of
his race. He grew all the closer to his
brother and sisters when they saw
how perfectly he understood the mean
ing of that sublime word duty and how
gently and yet how sturdily he went
to perform Its every obligation. And
now he has gone out into the night
and the darkness. "a

Training Servant Girls.

IL a majority of matrons would quail
fy themselves and then try to impart to
servants their knowledge of the various
trades that are comprised in homework,
the aggregate advantage would in a
short time be great. A girl with COM
mon sense can learn to cook all plain
food in two OF three months. 1t would
certainly pay to send her to the laundry
for few lessons.
Half dozen lessons in second
work, " followed up by not too oppres-
sive supervision, will make competent
housemaid. This tutorage will indeed
consume considerable amount of time,
but 1t does not upset the family as does
the recurring and dreaded period of
changing girls" We all know of
households where seasons all follow in
quick succession, year after year The
lady thinks she is unfortunate in her
servants, and finally concludes they are
all natural enemies to the comfort and
best interest of their employers. The
kind husband sympathizes in IN impa-
tent despair in the idea that all SER
wants are worthless.
But the fact that some women have 50
much worst luck with girls than others
can only be logically explained by the
supposition that they are worse mistress
es. But what are we to eat while
Bridget is learning?" inquiries new
little wife, before whom the problem
begins to loom darkly in the domestic
horizon. 1t is no worse to bear the
plumbers OF one who is improving all
the time than to be experimental upon
by dozen strangers. none of whom are
competent. And who can doubt that
the father and the boys will prefer to
excuse mistakes smoothed over by kind
and hopeful words from the mistress to
hear a running fire of weak complaints,
month after month. from house mother
who does nothing to better afTairsP-

Washington Correspondents.

A number of Washington correspond
ents dictate their dispatches to short
hand men, and these transcribe them
for the press. Stcnographers are very
cheap here, and in ordinary times YOU
can find one who win take down and
rewrite column letter for a dollar.
This is much cheaper than doing the
writing yourself, as the greatest expen-
diture of energy in writing is in the
pushing of the pen. Some correspond
ents dictate their letters to the typewrit-
er and several know have wives who
can run the typewriter as well as the
most experienced professionals. A lead
ing correspondent of New York paper
has wife who can take down a column
of correspondence from his dictation in
half an hour. This column contains
about / 800 words, and she must write
at the rate of fifty words minute This
Is very fast typewriter work, and It's
speed will be appreciated when it is re-
membered that the ordinary longhani
writer who composcs does remarkably
well If he writes fifteen words minute.
A few newspapers keep men at the Capt.
tai who are expected to devote them
selves to lclter-writing exclusively.
These are few. however and their letters
are devoted to editorials. descriptive
matter, and gossip about men and
measures. The field Of Washington
correspondents seems to me to be widen
ing every year. There are plenty of
bright men in the business, and of the
hundreds here the great majority are
trained men. The dissippated men
among them can be counted upon your
fingers; and as rule they are hard
working, keen-witted, snob-hating, gen.
tlemanly fellows

Progressive japanese Bellies.

The ladies of Japan show not less
readiness to adopt western ideas and
usages than the japanese of the other
sex The bellies of Yeddo order dresses
from Paris; and the progress of imita-
ton has gone so far as to make a knowl-
edge of the fashionable dances of Europe
an indispensable feature in the educa-
ton of every japanese lady who re-
spects herself. Equestrianism has not
however, figured so far in the list of
feminine accomplishments in the domin-
ions Of the Mikado; not, it seems, from
any aversion on the part of the ladies TO
take pattern by their European sisters
in this as in other respects, but simply
because no means of mastering the art
of horsewomanship as it is practiced in
the West existed in the country A rid
ing-school is, however, now about to be
opened in Yokohama, exclusively for
the use of native ladies, and it promises
to be largely patronized. The japanese
government is about to take a step
which will have the effect of bringing
the more solid branches of western edu-
cation within reach of the female sub
jects of the Mikado. A number OF
young women are about to be sent to
Europe to receive thorough training in
the essential branches of female educa-
ton as it is understood there, with a
view to their subsequent employment as
teachers in their own country when
qualified.

A Novel Progressive Euchre Party.

The tables were arranged in the large
parlors SO that there was quite dis
lance between the head table and the
three others. The BOBBY table repre-
sented France. and it was covered with
handsome Partisan mat The playing
cards were beautifully pictured, repre-
senting court testers and theatrical ce-
lebrities. Here bon-bons were distrib-
uted which contained fools caps. The
conversation was carried on entirely in
French. The third table was designat-
ed Germany The lucky couple who
were at the BOBBY table then travelled
from France to Germany. Like the last
table everything used was characteristic
of the country The playing cards were
quite patriotic, the Kings and Queens of
the past generations being artistically
executed on them. OF course, q change
Of language was necessary. and those
not proficient were compelled, like
many poor tourists, to trust 10 luck.
The table, from Berlin, was embroider-
ed, most accurately displaying pack
of cards thrown carelessly on the table.
Several gentlemen, who attempted to
pick up some of them, can testify how
natural they were. Next the lucky tour
lists crossed the channel and landed in
England, the second table. A huge
oak card-table and straight backed
chairs were used. The playing cards
were gorgeously illustrated, representing
scenes in the Indian and Egyptian cam
paigns. A servant was in constant at
tendance to carry off the numerous his
that were constantly dropped ARTS
are trumps," cave you played?s etc,
were popular queries. Here the CONVEX
sation was mostly upon the departure
of steamers for America, and many
were the speculations as to which coup
lie would make the voyage. Home at
lastl' was heard, when the delighted
travellers had crossed the Atlantic, after
farewell to old England and their dis
appointed opponents. America, the
prize table, situated in the back parlor,
was decorated with the stars and stripes,
and the cards were pictorial descrip-
ton Of the discovery OF America.
A. last our excited tourists breathed a
sigh of relief, and talked to their hearts
content The winners at this table were
only too glad to remain, but the unfor-
tunate losers were compelled, like the
Wandering Jew, to ''move on" The
guests were bewildered and delighted,
for the details of the game were perfect,
and the effect most happy. As the first
game at the head of the table was con-
