CRAWFORD GRAND.
The Little Detective as given last
night by Lolita and her company was but
a repetition of the success of the preceding
evening. Florence Langton was the same
bright, vivacious winning creature as was
Mag Mr.. Scott made handsome, dash
ing Barry Madison. Mr.. Bonniface,
however, completely captivated the au-
dience with his Ludoyic Stuvesant; his
make up was great, and his whole imper-
sonations original and novel. His pal,
Phpbus Rockaway, was well done by Mr..
Harris, and Mr.. Anderson was good as
Hardcliff. The Stella of Miss Raymond
was deserving of favorable mention. The
other characters were also well sustained.
One of the features of performance at
this house that last night, as well as pre-
ceding nights, makes people weary and
homesick, is that orchestra

is pleasure to give Miss Bloomfield so
great praise as she honestly won last even

pianist of very remarkable abilities in
every technical regard, and if she can
prove, what there is no reason now tn
doubt, that she has breadth of intelligence

AN AWAKENING.

Not the least of the good effect of the
recent meetings at the First NJ. f. church
by the evangelist, Mr.. Wilson, is the
arousing and enlightening of the public on
the subject of the so-called Christian
science. The charge that the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union of Wichita
was seemingly in sympathy with that doc
trine, came to us like a clap of thunder
from a clear sky. At the first general
meeting after this announcement the sub
ject was brought up and discussed by
nearly every member present and but one
was found who in any way expressed be-
lief in it. We went still further and
passed resolution refusing to even rent
our room to hold such meetings hereafter.

THE COLLEGE ENTERPRISE.

There is a strong probability that the
School contemplated here will consist of
three departments. One will be a first
class Normal department, another depart
ment of Business Observation-Disclosures
ing, penmanship, &c.-another depart
ment of Music. Altogether, it will be a
grand school. one that the citizens of the
county will be proud Of With the great
interest taken in educational matters in
this county, there surely ought to be such
an institution in Jackson. The gentle
men having the matter in charge seek the
best interests of the cause of education,
and propose to give their entire time to
the building up of the cause throughout
the county and adjacent territory. There
IS no risk, no uncertainty, connected with
this plan. The school will be success,
in every particular.

There is no disputing the fact that
the antipathy to the doggery, in other
words the temperance sentiment, is
growing rapidly in this country. 1t
seems now that there is nothing more
certain in the near future than a gen.
eral roofing out of the dens and the
system so long blight and curse
upon this Nation. That the senti-
ment is growing rapidly is not to be ac-
credited to any particular party or as
sociation Of men; it is the outgrowth
Of enlightened thought, of refined sem
sibility; of aspirations that seek some
thing for the race above the estate of
the lowest annual. Men of all par
ties and all creeds are turning their
attention to the great idea that man
hood is not asserted, and proven, by a
state of beastly drunkenness, or deg
radiation that ought to bring blush
to the cheek of the savage. Without
claiming the praise that for any one
force, we are pleased to say that the
Republican party has taken the lead
in the grand work, and to-day the peo-
pie Of Ohio, are, by Townships and
municipalities, driving the accursed
thing from among them. The days
of sneering at cranks are passing rap
IDLY from view. The time is at hand
when brains and decency will take
the supremacy over brutal debauch-
cry. The man who dares to raise a
poor, weak, faltering voice in favor of
the devil and his agents, will soon be

his pestilential breath in the faces of de-
cent men. Now comes the half-grown
boy, with huge cigar around which his
mouth fits like the fit of an umbrella to
its staff; he takes forty to fifty trips
through the car. Now comes the rail-
road fool who thinks the train is run for
his especial benefit. He sprawls down
into seat, looks about cunningly as
though making hasty estimate of the
ignorance of those about him; then he
sings a snatch of song; nobody seems to
notice this, and he marches to the water
tank and pours some dog-leg whisky into
the tin-cup; still the public contempt
grows, and the fool singles out somebody
he knows and engages in conversation
with them, standing with his coat-tail
brushing the face of some lady or gentle
man on the opposite side of the aisle.
And so it goes-the railroad fool ever on
the tramp. We noticed one young man
from Jackson who walked over the train
until he he limped from pure fatigue, but
he kept on going. Now, the railroad
company might arrange for the conven-
fence of everybody. in two ways. One
would be to have foot-boards made
around the outside gof the coaches, SO
that the cork men might keep moving
from one end of the train to the other
without disturbing anybody. The other
would be to carry special car having
circular track, and lock the pedestrians
in that car, so that they might keep up
the interminable tramp all the time.
The Standard returns thanks to the
Jackson Division for an invitation to
seat in their special car. The boys man.
aged everything nicely. Messrs. T. M.
Varley and John H. Clark were specially
busy looking after the comfort of passen-
gers and the success of the excursion.
