There were 20 members enrolled up
to noon today. Several more are ex-
pected as the bad roads have made it
difficult for many to get to town.
Conductor Chichester is at home with
the newspaper men having been there
himself. He was secretary of the
Southwestern Newspaper syndicate fol
a year and knows what newspaper
work is, His lecture this morning on
didactics was devoted to primary def
nitions and was full of interest for the
students.
Supt. Moulton, A. S. Phillips, F. V.
Close and W. II. Wagner were visitors
this morning,
Everybody is made welcome and all
are invited to call and see the teachers
at work.
The penmanship class under Mr.
Jones is perhaps the most valuable
feature of the institute. Nearly all the
members are in the penmanship class
and all were delighted with the first
lesson given today. The penmanshiE
class will, unfortunately for the teach
ers, only extend over two weeks IN.
stead OF over the whole four.

TOuchinSly Said.

The Grafton ny Gen. Walthall. de-
Evered at Jackson, Miss, last week,
was an uncommonly fine one, and
his allusion to the last days of JEFF
ferson Davis was especially touch
ing:
I'm the dignified retirement of his
uApretending home, on the southern
border of that separate Southern
nationality for which, in vain, his
best efferts and his prayers had been
given, this disfranchised citizen of
government whose flag he had de-
Tended with his blood, had a firmer
hold upon the hearts of his people
than any other ruler reigning in the
world.
"There is nothing in history like
this. Look over the course of ma
tions from the dawn Of time, turn
through the books of the worlds
history whenever written, search all
the annals of the earth, and you find
no other single instance whore a
vanquished people have so idollzed
the leader of cause that had failed.
Pardon me if I inaer upon this
thought. 1t fills me with cdmiration
and with gratitude"
No such instance has been record
ed in history, as Gen. Walthall truly
says. T. is fit subject for admira-
ton and thankfulness.

President Harrison's Duty to the South

If President Harrison properly
considers the invitation extended to
him by the people of North Carolina,
South Carolina and Georgia to visit
the South in the coming autumn, he
must reach the conclusion that no
official duty presses more urgently
upon him than compliance with this
request. No doubt the large and
representative body of citizens who
waited upon the President to ask the
honor Of his presence respect the
motives which caused him to hesitate
anout making definite promise, but
at the same time they would be war
ranted, under the circumstances, in
expecting him. He has said that he
is Gin full sympathy with every move
ment for the display Of our magnifi-
cent development and material pros
perity," and that he would try to ar
range,his affairs so as to attend the
industrial exhibitions at Raleigh and
Augusta in the months of October
and November. Doing SO wonld
perhaps enable the President all the
better to '..enlighten Congress on
the affairs of a most important part
of the country.-Baltimore Sun.

Alexander Hamilton.

In his leading ideas of government
Hamilton was diametrically opposed
to Jefferson, Madison and all of the
great leaders of the revolution on the
Republican side who helped to frame
the Constitution, and in fact repre-
sentative of the Republican party of
the present day in its centralized
system of government and legisla.
tion. In no sense, therefore, can
Hamilton's fame be properly inden-
tilted with the popular. side of orr
republic in its creation, and certain
ly has no claim to be favorably re-
membered in that connection either
now or in the future. Thomas JEFF
ferson deserved to rank next to
Washington among the illustrious
fathers, and any number of greaet
names connected with the first GEN.

The Republican leaders in this
State want to organize a tariff
league. Their troubles begin at
once, and on the negro question,
as usual. If the negroes are adj
mitted to membership, the white
Democrats whom the Republi-

will not join, while if they are
not admitted the black voters,
already antagonistic to the
white ones viii get yet further
away.

FIERCE FIGHr WITH A BULL.
Farmer Rescued From the Brute b,
His Wife and Daughter.

SYRACUSE, N, Y, July 15.-Walter
Shattuck, farmer near here, has had
running in his pasture 3-year-old bull
On Monday the bull began rushing up
and down the fence line of the pasture
believing at the passers-by.
When Mr.. Shattuck, armed with a
strong club, started to drive the animal
back il turned and attacked him. 1t
knocked him down and stood over him,
treading his body with its hoofs and
trying to gore him.
Nj Shattuck's wife and daughter saw
the attack, and ran to his rescue. When
the daughter arrived her father had
succeeded in grasping with one hand
the ring in the bulls nose and with the
other the animals tongue. He called
to his daughter not to come near, but to
run back TO the barn for a pitchfork.
The wife now reached the scene, and
pluckily grabbing the animal by the
horns aided her husband to direct the
brute's bunting blows away from his
body into the ground. Mr.. Shattuck
who was still on his back unable to rise
was by this time nearly stripped of his
clothing. Blood streamed from his face
| where horn had gored him His chest
was mass Of bruises, two ribs were
broken and his limbs were badly
lacerated by the animals trampling.
1t had been at least twenty minute;
since the terrible fight began when the
daughter arrived with a pitchfork. She
thrust its tines through the ring in tht
bulls nose and into the ground Then
with all her strength she held the in
furiated animals head to the grount
while the mother dragged the fathel
from beneath the brute's hoofs.
But before Mr.Shattuck had succeeded
in regaining his feet the animal gave
lurch, the steel ring broke from his nos
and he was once more free.
Then for an instant the three stood
expecting his onslaught. Had it com,
upon them in their exhausted condition
il must have resulted in the death o
manning Of all three of them. But 70
some reason the animal hesitated. |
looked at them obviously for moment
then turned and walked away.
Mr.. Shattuck was so badly injured
that serious doubt is expressed as TO hi
recovery.

shamut Pnper Min Rurneh.

FAIRFIELD, Me-, July 16-The pulp
ill of the Shamut Fiber Company
located at Shamut, in this town took fire
from hot box in the chipping room
yesterday. The flames spread rapidly,
as there were no adequate facilities at
hand for extuingishing them, and the
mill was soon destroyed. 1t was owned
by the Shamnt Fiber Company. The
controlling interest was held by i. j..
Lawrence and the Newhall heirs, the
balance being with parties in Boston
and elsewhere. The property cost about
$290000 and was insured for about
half that amount. About so hands
were employed 1t is not probable
that the mill will be rebuilt. Tie fire
engine of the town had been tallcn to
the firemen's muster at Bangor, but
one was present from Waterville, which
did good service in preventing the spread
of the flames.

twined with pearls and with deep
fringe Of pearls and precious stones.

type and is solid mass of pearls and
precious stones. The sleeves, with their
puifs at the shoulders of pink nous
selin de sole, are satin duchesse to the
elbow, with pink satin to the wrist,
while deep rutile of moussein de sole
falls over the hand. With this robe
