Improved Chair for Theatres.

To the theatre managers of this
country is commended new form of
chair for use in theatres, music halls.
ETC., which is now being introduced into
England This chair is already in use
in several theatres in Germany, and is
intended not only to prevent panic in
case of fire, ETC., by enabling the audi
ence to gain the exit doors more easily
than hitherto, but also to allow officials
of the theatres and members of the audi
ence to move with freedom from one
place to another.
+ For this purpose the seat and back Of
| the chair are free to move, and are con-
nected suitably together, SO that by
means of counterba1ance weight a
mere touch of the hand will cause the
seat and the back to move simultaneous
ly on hinges to vertical position, the
seat by raising and the back by lower
ing, thereby allowing free passage along
or through the tiers. The very idea OF
such device, when the absurd amount
of Inconvenience and annoyance suffered
in comparative patience by the ordinary
theatregoer is considered, raises up Wis
ions of comfort and pleasure which il
seems hard to believe will ever be real
ized.-New York Telegram

a verx WAC Aw.ke Eve.

A man of the shabby genteel order
went into the reading room of one of the
hotels, and seating himself in an easy
chair drew paper from his pocket. He
held the paper before him, and while his
left eye remained closed he appeared to
be reading. Time slipped by, and it was
several hours before tine watchman was
attracted to him. During the next hour
the fellow never moved, and with fear
and trembling the watchman went to
his side. :
The right eye gazed mechanically al
the paper, and, fearing that its owner
had died in that position, several of the
employees of the hotel gathered around
him. He was given a rough shake
which brought him to his feet, and ex-
plantations followed. The man had nc
money and did not want to walk the
street in the pelting rain. His right eye
was an a1tifcial one, and by holding 8
paper in front of him and closing his left
optic he could sleep, while to all appear
ances he was reading. Teae

A clever CONE.

Z. Sidney Cooper, the English animal
painter, says that he often made valua-
BILE studies in Cumberland, at places
where Scotch droyers halted with their
cattle for the night. On such occasions
he often had chance to see iIlustra-
ions of an animals intelligence, as we'll
as of its physical perfection.
One day, when there was a pouring
rain, a man consented to sit for me at
the inn where I was staying. He
brought his collie with him, and both of
them were dripping wet, SO he put off
his plaid and laid it on the floor by the
dog.
made q very successful sketch of the
man, but before had finished it the dog
grew fdgety with the wet plaid, and his
master said, ''Tak' it AVA, mon. talk it
| awa'r' ~
The dog took the end of it between his
teeth and dragged it out of the room.
After had finished the drover's por-
trait asked him if he thought his dog
would lie quiet for a time, as wished
to sketch him
'tOh, yes, mon,' he answered, seine'll
do anything i say 20 him. Watch!
| WatchP' he called, and then 'swhust1ed'
for him, as the Scotch say.
As the dog did not appear, we went to-
gether to look for him, and found him
sitting before the kitchen fire with the
| end of the plaid in his mouth, holding ii
up to dry. I expressed my admiration
| of his intelligence, and the master re-
piled:
''Ah, he's canny creature, sirI He
knows mony things, does that dog, sir
But come AVA, mon, the gentleman
wants to max your picture"
So we returned to my room, and the
handsome collie sat for his portrait.

THE CoRoNER's VERDICT

On the Fearful Death of Conrad Willison
1.-The Testimony the Same as the News
Given in This Paper.
Testimony concerning the death of Con-
rad Willison, who was burned at Massil-
lon last Wednesday night. was taken by
Coroner Schaefer Saturday. Several fire.
men were examined and from them the
information was elected that the depart
ment was notified at 10 o'clock, and that
the building had been burning for twenty
minutes ere the arrival of the firemen.
They were throwing water through the
window in the room where the charred
remains of the old man were afterwards
found, when some one informed them that
a noise had been heard in the house be-
fore the fire started. Taking lanterns
they entered the room, and found the old
man near the door lying beside sewing
machine. Fragments OF broken lamp
were lying near the machine, and the
supposition is that the lamp had been set
ting on the machine, and had been upset
by Willison shortly after his arrival home,
His chair had been burned from under
him, and he was lying on his back when
found. Other witnesses were examined
and the facts as previously stated in the
NEws-DEMocRAT substantiated. Coroner
Schaefer will render verdict in accord
ance with the above facts: That Conrad
Willison was burned to death in his own
house, the fire originating from a lamI
which was upset by the hands OF the de

Footballs Advantages.

Football Is not contest of mere skin
and strength; IL is not the physical against
the physical it is intellect and will against
will and intellect. The feelings are those
of cavalry in charge, or Of the old time
knight in "A tourney.
What good player ever realized in a game
that there is such a thing as flesh and
blood? In practice You sometimes feel as
if there is not anything else, but in a game
one is conscious of no such substance It
is the spirit that goes through a game, the
body doubtless sometimes attending.
Oh, you mothers, who are 50 careful of
your darlings, why do you prepare them
for a swimming match by keeping them
away from the water? Send them out on
the scrub side" and let them learn life's
lessons They will derive many benefits,
as we'll as pleasures, from the game. How
much more it enables one to enjoy studyi

accomplished without it.
When you see an effeminate man you
feel that if you could play opposite to him
in the rush line you could give him few
ideas of soldity and manliness. You see a
hot tempered nan; vou could bring his enc
my under his control in a season. Indeed,
the kicking, tackliug and running are the
insignificant things that you learn in foot
ball. What is important is the complete
mastery Of yourself that the game teaches
you. The discipline makes all the personal
spites, grudges and passion that a beginner
experiences subject to the interests of his
