HIRAM,

The series of meetings at the Disciple Church
closed Sunday evening. The meetings have been
conducted by home talent exclusively. and about
thirty made the confession and received the rite
of baptism. and several backsliders were re-
claimed. and the members of the church consid-
er themselves much profted by the meetings.
John Dewitt Miller delivered his most popu.
lar lecture. The Possibilities of Our Country"
at the Disciple Church last week Wednesday
evening. under the auspices of the Y NJ C. A.
Mr. Miller is in the front rank of lecturers, and
is deservedly popular. This was his fourth ap-
pearance here. and every time maintains his high
reputation. He was geeeted by full house.
On the evening of the lecture some thief enter
ed President collars residence and stole $50 in
money, the property of Miss Ada collars The
money, two bills of SO each, was in a pocket
book on table in an upper room, to which the
thief gained access by climbing one of the porch
pillars. Some valuable jewelry was accessible.
but the thief in his haste passed it by. 1t is ap
parent that we have thief, with one or more
accomplices. in our midst and the tracks are well
concealed. so much so that no one is suspected.
am much pleased to note that our country
school system is receiving that attention from
thoughtful minds which the conditions demand.
There is too much of the city system being adopt
ed in the country schools. at an expense far in
and environments of city school are far differ
| ent than those ofa country school. A country
school. by reason of the small and irregular at
tendance. cannot be graded and classified like
city school. 1t is admitted by every competent
and experienced teacher. that better work can
be done with attendance of twenty or more
pupils than with a less number. And teacher
with the less number receives much compensa-
ton as the teacher with the greater number.
and by statute all Sub Districts entitled to
an equal number of months of school, In one
District in this township the whole number en-
rolled was three. and the teacher was paid one
dollar per day, for three months term. and it
required just as much fuel to warm those three
pupils as it would to warm forty. 1t would have
been much cheaper to have hired those children
carried to some other district, and then they
hey would have had better school. This ques-
tion ought to be agitated till there is reform.

The National Cloth OF ireland.

AS far back as the history of Ireland
can be traced in writings mention is
made of coarse woolen cloth woven by
the people OF the country and known to
them "a frieze. The name il said to be
drawn from the ancient Frisa in the
Netherlands, whence possibly the art Of
making the fabric was derived. So re-
mote, however. is the period when frieze
was first made in Erin that no one can
tell when or where or by whom it was
originally spun. Century after century,
so long that the mind Of man runneth
not TO the contrary. it has been the ma.
tional cloth OF Ireland, the distinctive
dress Of patriot, peasant and peer. and
since the Seventeenth century an out
ward badge Of the peoples aspirations
for nationality -Donohoes Magazine

With the advent of another season
that refined and charming actress, Ida
Van Cortland, returns to Redmond's to
win fresh laurels in field that has al
ready witnessed many artistic triunphs
In which she has posed as the central
figure. That Thu success, which APP
pears to DC % we'll assured. Is richly de-
served, is q proposition that no one who
has enjoyed the privilege of seeing Ida
Van Cortland on the stage, will for an
instant hesitate to confirm. There are
few actresses of the time, outside the
great names Of the theatrical world :,
who possess the measure of public con-
fidence and esteem that has fallen to
the los OF this estinnable lady, and 1t "a
worthy of note that none know how to
appreciate and MAINTAIN that high priv
llege, or rather honor, than does the
subject of this brief and inadequate ar
ticle. To do justice To the many VIZ
tues and charms OF this gifted lady
would necessarily involve a tax upon
our rather limited space that can not
very well be- afforded; suffice II to say
that in Ida Van Cortland discriminate
ing public has discerned histrionic abli-
ity OF high order, and has not re-
framed from doing marked honor 10
that ability, that the same pubic has
learned TO esteem the actress for her
many good qualities of heart, az well IA
of mind sn0 that IN the theater and
home alike she IS honored and respect
ed. Than this, no higher tribute 10 her
worth "a al actress and as woman
could be hoped for; yet 1t - hers toy
natural right, and the reward Tor con-
scienhous and earnest work. When,
therefore, that Ida Van Cortland will
return the coming week. supported by
a capable and well balanced company
with repertoire of unusual excellence.
IL naturally follows that the event at
tracts unwontsd attention at the hands
of the theater- going pubic, and the
surface indications presage a successful
and altogether satisfactory engagement
for this "bright and particular star" of
the dramatic armament. The roper
