Deaths.

The many friends of DR.. Ketcham in
this town and county will be panied to
learn of his death, which occurred last
Monday afternoon at his home on Wal.
nut Hills, Cincinnati. DIR. Ketchan had
been sick for several months past with
heart trouble. which was so deceptive in
its silent workings that at times his
friends entertained hopes OF his ultimate
recovery. All that medical skill or kind
and loving nursing could do were of
no effect in the presence of his subtitle
disease. Last Monday the Christian
gentleman yielded up his life to the fell
destroyer, who is no respecter of per-
sons. OF DIR. Ketcham it may be said
that he perished in the midst OF his
course. He has acceptably filed num-
erous positions Of honor and trust in the
M. E. Church, in which church and in
many communities he was recognized
leader. The bereaved family have many
friends in this place who do truly SYM
pathise with them in this their severe
affliction. The Cincinnati papers con-
tain lengthy accounts of the different
places where DR.. Ketcham carried on
his life work for his church. One of the
last accounts Of DR.. Ketcham as Christ.
ian minister, is reported in the Tines
Star, and is as follows:
A very affecting incident, related by
DR.. Bayliss, was that of the baptism OF
an infant grandson day or two ago by
the dying preacher. Too weak to do It
himself, one of his sons placed the diving
mans hands on the infants head. The
| grandparent, just on the verge OF eter-
nifty, then repeated the baptismal ser.
vice, and at the close added: "May the
Lord preserve the child unto life ever.

Rev. Zachariah Wharton, father of
Mrs. ]. M. Hiestand, of this place, died
at his home near Bonneville, Ross
county, Tuesday, May 7th. Mr.. Wharton
was born in the year 1912, on the 18th
of April, and at the time of his death
was nearing the allotted four.score years
of mans existence, being at the time OF
his death in his seventy. eighth year.
Rev. Zachariah Wharton was man we'll
and tavorably known in church circles,
especially the M. Z. Church, OF which
church he has been minister for the
period OF fifty.fve years. 1t is but a
short time since he paid visit to his
daughter in this place. Before leaving
he complained OF a pain in one of his
limbs, from the effect of which his death
is thought to have resulted. But he
came to his end like shock of corn
ready for the harvest.

The Lost Atlantis.

For many centuries there has been a
tradition of long lost island called At
! lantis.
| The Greek geographers located it in the
Atlantic ocean, west of the northwest part
of Africa and the Pillars of Hercules. The
sea-kings of Atlantis are said to have in
vaded Europe and Africa, and to have
been defeated by the Athenians.
All the legends agree that it was q vast
| island, of inexhaustible resources, and in
habited by race of superior people. For
ages this island has existed only in legend
airy lore. But now, when the light of
modern research is turned full upon the
investigation behold the lost Atlantis at
our very doors.
So the bigoted medical fraternity goes
cropping about in the dark, seeking for an
Atlantis or Esoulapius, when, if they would
investigate, they would behold the lost At
lantis at their very door. With their
ancient text book, case of physic, a
paper in their waistooat giving them Ii
cense to practice, experiment and dose
with their injurious drugs, oauterize and
perform unnecessary acts, with no person
or laws to hold them accountable, they
continue their bigoted, unjustified prac-
tice, staring into vacancy, and imagining
that they see in themselves an Esculapius.
Wrapped in ancient bigotry, they are
crying out against all Improvements that
have been made in medical science. They
denounce any new idea advanced by a
layman or an opposition school as fraud.
Why?
Because humanity will not be benefited?
| Not at all, but because their special ism
did not make the discovery.
Yet they conce6e that there is no RENE
dy known to their materia medica that
will cure an advanced kidney malady and
the diseases arising although
many of them know from browning proof
that Warmers Safe Cure will-but unscru-
pulously treat symptoms and call them a
| disease when in reality they know they are
but symptoms.
A few of the more honest physicians
admit that Warmers Safe Cure is valua-
BILE remedy and great blessing 10 man
asked why they do not prescribe it that
they cannot according to their code.
| Nevertheless, the world Is fast becoming
satisfied that the cure for kidney and liver
diseases, in whatever form or condition,
has been discovered, and there is no doubt
but what Warmers Safe Cure and its fame
will live long after such tigotry as we have
instanced is dead and buried.
The late eminent physician and writer,
DR.. j. G. Holland, published in "Scribner's
Monthly" and showed his opinion of such
bigotry, and no doubt was satisfied that
Atlantis might possibly be discovered in a
proprietary medicine, when he wrote edito-
rally, as follows:
Nevertheless, it is fact that many of
the best proprietary medicines of the day
were more successful than many of the
physicians, and most of them, it should be
remembered, we're first discovered or used
in actual medical practice. When, how,
ever, any shrewd person, knowing their
virtue, and foreseeing their popularity
secures and sdYertises them, then, in the
opinion of the bigoted, all virtue went out
of them.n

THE PURIM BALL.
A Brilliant Gathering and a Most
Happy Occasion.

Happy Occasion.
The Purimball last night at Turner hall,
under the auspices of the Gentlemen's
Hebrew association, was most pleasing
success, and the resultwas most satisfactory
tothe managers. 1t was delightful, balmy
night, with the silvery moon riding high
up in the heavens to light the merry
young folks and the happy old folks home
after the ball was over.
The great hall was brilliantly illumi-
mated, and at least two hundred
guests filled it and the galleries above.
Of the guests, not exceeding half a
dozen were masked, but no one was disap-
pointed. Indeed, there was a sigh of re-
lief, and as the bright eyes of scores of
handsome ladies sparkled and flashed,
blessings were invoked upon the fates
which ordained that they leave their
masks behind.
Scores of tie brilliant and beautiful
young ladies of the city were present, and
many of them we're deliberately and taste
fully dressed, and as they moved in the
graceful ev0lutions of the Lancers or
whirled in the may intricacies of the
cotillion the large hall was a bewildering
The reception comittee, consisting of
MessrA. Abe Williams, H. Hirshfeld, B.
Melasky, Nelson Davis and E. Krohn, re-
celved the guests with that cordially
which at once made you feel at home, and
you were glad you were there to hoy
and to aid others in enjoyment. 1t was
that generous, kindly greeting which has
come down through all the centuries, a
Distinguishing and most worthy charac-
teristic of the Hebrew race. You were
their honored and appreciated guests and
with rare tact they impressed that fact
upon you.
The floor committee composed of Isaac
Melasky, II. Moses, H. Heidenheimer, 1.
M. Moses and Charles Roth were indefatig
able and to their watchful care is due
much of the pleasure of the evening.
For hours and hours did the young
people dance and make merry. Occasion
ally some of the married ladies notably
Mrs. A. Williams, Mrs. R. A. Rutherford,
Mrs. Daniel and one or two others, added
dignity and stateliness to the dance as
they most gracefully went through the
movements.
There were some married men there
who we're just dying to dance and they
would ever and anon cast furtive appeal
ing looks around about and resign them
selves to their fate and look dismal. At
torney general Hogg, Doctor johnson,
Mr.. Workman, Mr.. B. Melasky, Mr.. KroD,
Colonel Rutherford and others were
among the number.
Senators Armistead, Glasscook and
other Legislators were noticed among the
happy guests.
In an annex to the building was a great
supper table, over hundred feet long,
and it fairly groaned under the weight of
tropical fruits, delicious cakes, sweet
meats and other viands. The supper was
greatly enjoyed.
All in all the affair was one of the most
enjoyable of all the Purim balls given in
this city, and the pleasures of the evening
will long be remembered.

BOLD BURGLARS.
They Successfully Force a Door
and Mp a Saloon.
An Unsuccessful Attempt to GAIN
Admission to Hatzfeld's
Mammoth Store.

Yesterday morning some time after or
just about O'Clock burglars forced an en-
trance into the saloon on the corner of
East avenue and East Sixth street.
The building is of brick and has rear
door which was forced open by main
strength.
The thieves ransacked the establish
ment for money, but found only some
small change. They then packed up about
1000 cigars and lot of tobacco and car
ried them off. The burglary was not dis
covered until between and O'Clock
when the proprietor went down to open
up for business.
AN ATTEMPT.
At about the same hour an attempt
was made to gain entrance
to the dry goods store of Mr.. Phi. Hatfield
on the Avenue and Fifth street.
The building has an entrance fronting
on Fifth street which admits to a stair
way leading to the second floor. Here the
burglars worked and were making good
progress getting hole through the parti-
tition wall, which separates the mammoth
storeroom from the stairway entrance,
when they we're heard by some one Sleep
ing upstairs. He got up to see the cause
of the grating sound, when he I'M

ened the burglars off, Officer Dornwell,
who was on his Avenue beat, was notified
and went down, but could not trace up the
thieves, who had made off, carrying their
tools with them. They made quite an
impression on the wall and few minutes
time would have given them entrance to
the magnificent and costly goods on the
inside

ACADEMIC ENTERTAINMENT
An Interesting and Pleasant At
fair at st. Mary's Academy.

fair at st. Mary's Academy.
On Tuesday the beautiful study hall of
st. Mary's academy was the scene of one
of those interesting entertainments for
which the institute is famed.
The opening number of the programme
ian instrumental trio played with re-
markable skill and beauty of expression
by the Misses d. and L. Carr and G.
Moses was an appetizing prelude to the
charming chorus "Come to the Moonlit
Wave" by the vocal class; after which fol-
lowed the first part of the Guardian
Angels Messenger" volume first, number
third. This manuscript paper is the work
of the second and third senior class, and
the addresses on this occasion were the
Misses Teresa Moore, Clara Weymiller
and Winifred Harm.
At the close of the first division of the
paper Miss Nellie Reilly recited with ex-
cellent personation Alice Carey's exquisite
little poem, "The Grey Swan"
Little Bertha McCashin then gave a
pretty selection, in clear tones and truth
full and appropriate gesture, followed by
the vocal class in a bright and earnest
rendering of "The Tempest"
Here the "Guardian Angels Messenger"
was resumed, and at the close of the Sec
ond part Miss Bessie Robinson presented
most thrilling Interpretation of "Erin's
Flag" by Father Ryan.
A scarcely less beautiful number sue
ceeded this-Miss E. Donnelly's "Vision
of the Wounds" recited by Miss Harm.
After the third division of the paper,
Miss Lizzie Belle Marshall gave the ex-
quisite story of the 'Pearl Necklace" from
Longfellow's "Evangeline," where bright
little trio from the minim department
proved that Mary Agnes Graham, Carrie
Graham and Lizzie Crosson were equal to
the responsibility of entertaining the as.
sembled guests, most creditably to them
selves and also to their kind teachers.
After the "Guardian Angels Messenger"
part fourth, Miss G. Moses played fine
instrumental solo, and as she returned to
her place, Miss Blanche Emerson came
forward and recited "Briar Rose,"
by H. H. Boyeson, with superior elocu-
tionary skill, and the recitations or the
evening were crowned by Miss Stadtler by
a perfect rendition of "The Inquiry" by
Chas. Mackey.
The Reverend Fathers Hurth and Scheir
honored the young ladies with their pres
ence, and the genial aud learned president
of st. Edwards made very excellent sug-
gestions at the close, dwelling chiefly on
the Leneft to be derived from the art of
literary composition and the necessity of
its careful cultivation in the requirement
of finished education. Father Hurth
praised the natural and effective elocution
of the young ladies who recited, and did
the paper the honor to take one of the ar
ticles as the subject of his remarks.
