The Wallace show has come and
gone, leaving pleasant remembrances
in the minds of many hundred specta-
tors. This show has greatly enlarged
and improved since its last visit to
orr city. 1t bears the ear-marks of
prosperity. The performances are
tirst-claSs, among which may be spec
tally mentioned the trapeze acts by
the Fisher Brothers and the human
serpents, Sweeney and Barretta. Prof.
McEwen's aerial ascension at I o'clock
was grand success. After rising to
a height of over thousand feet he
swung from his air-ship and safely
descended to earth by the aid of his
parachute. The descent was grand
and thrilling. The horses and other
animals with this show are the finest
in the land. They are fat and sleek I,
and bear evidence of careful handling.
A special feature Of the Wallace show
is the ease and quietness with which
all work about the grounds is done.
There is total absence of confusion
and profanity, so common with circus
men. The employees are courteous to
the public and toward each other, re-

Talk about DR.. Tanner as the cham
pion faster-there is a man in the
county hospital at Galena that makes
Tanners feat look ridiculous. His
name is John Roth, and according to
the testimony of the county physician
and Superintendent Byrne, he has not
tasted food, solid or liquid, in eight
weeks. He is native Of Switzerland,
and for some years has made his home
at Scales Mound, 10 DavieSS county.
On May 23d last he was brought to the
county house and since that time not
a morsel of food has passed his lips.
As his fast began week before he was
brought to the hospital he has existed
under these remarkable conditions
ever since: yet he has not reduced
greatly in flesh, and seems as well as
when his fast began. He suffers with
paralysis, which, while not preventing
his swallowing, seems to affect the
other digestive organs. He has not
even drunk water, but his lips are
kept moist by applying water to them.
1t is a remarkable case, and one that
seems to throw all similar ones in the
shade.

Among the five hundred new books,

which have recently arrived at the
Reddick Library, are many splendid
volumes of history poetry, science and
literature which will be hailed with
delight by those who take advantage
of the opportunities for mind improve
ment presented by the institution.
While the bulk Of the purchase is
made up of light and interesting tic-
ton, suitable for the young, such as
Capt. Marryat'S works, Oliver Optics
stories, and the works OF other equally
good authors, the selections for older
minds are particularly fortunate. The
invoice covers the entire field OF litera-
ture, from the juvenile to the gravest
researches in philosophy and sociology.
In science, there are presented the
life and correspondence of AgaSsiz,
with his geological sketches and meth
DDS Of study in natural history; the

Many of the thousand odd new books
purchased are duplicates of the vol

was made necessary by the active de-
mand for light fiction of the juvenile
order, which has resulted in wearing
out dozens of volumes during the past
year. The new books will not be
given out before August, as they must
first be properly numbered and placed,
and a supplementary catalogue issued.

THE SPECIAL DELIVERY OF BAG
GAGE.
One of the Pennsylvania Railroads Great
COnYeniences.

One of the Pennsylvania Railroads Great
Conveniences.
The prompt despatch and ready delivery of
one's baggage is one OF the most desirable con-
ysniences of modern travel On no railroad in
the country has this branch Of the service re-
ceived moro thoughtful consideration than on
the Pennsylvania and the Inauguration some
years ago of the special delivery system is the
most advanced step in the direction of the ef-
fective handling of personal baggage. Under
this system the traveller, in advance Of depart
ure, applies to ticket agent, advises him Of
his destination, and transfer agent calls at
residence or hotel and checks the baggage
through to residence or hotel in the city OF his
destination. If no train is designated by the
traveller the shipment is made by the first train
leaving after the collection, so that it will be
delivered prior to the arrival of its owner.
This system prevails between the cities of
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Wash
ington, as well as between those cities and all
prominent ea-shore resorts on the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad during the season. The charge is
81, to be paid in advance.
The annoyance of having ones baggage de-
layed is exceeded only by the comfort OF find
ing that it has preceded the movement of its
owner. Under the special delivery system its
forwarding and delivery in advance is assured.

With those who do not like her, while those ia

the star prefers never to know people outside of
her own individual "set," and lives up to these
rules as much as possible, even carrying 1t out

Vocal Culture in America.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Edmund j. Myer, in a recent paper, read at
Detroit before the convention Of the Music
Teachers National Association, draws atten-
tion to the rapidly improving standard of vocal
training in this country. He says: "We have
as good teachers in this country as can be found
in the world. Yet we are suffering from that
influence of the past which gave rise to the i'm
preston which has so long prevailed, that the
best voices, in order to receive the most COM
plete training, must go to Europe. Do the
facts justify this prevalent impression The
tide must and will turn. There is no doubt that
the day is rapidly approaching when those who
desire the best possible vocal culture will seek
for it and find 1t here in our own country"
