CHILDREN'S DAY.
A PLEASING OBSERVANCE OF THE


ANNUAL EVENT.
Each year emphasizes the pleasure and
propriety of the Children's Day observ-
ance in the churches. As is the case,
when any festival or organization be
comes widely recognized, there is mach
dispute over the origin and authors of
this day. The result of this inquiry is,
briefly, that the day was first generally
observed by the Methodist church some
fifteen years ago. Since that time its
use has crept into other denominations,
and it has become one of the most en-
joyable of all the church's unusual days.
At the Methodist church last Sunday
there was a beautiful collection of cut
flowers and potted plants. The eye of
the artist was in their arrangement and
grouping, and novel feature was an in
geniOusly arranged fountain, throwing a
jet of water that sparkled into silvery
spray, and fell back on itself with musical
murmur. Bright faces, light dresses, and
singing birds, added much to the beauty
of the scene. The rite of baptism was
administered to six infants. DIR. Hinge
ley talked with his usual originality to
the young folks. At night the exercises
were given up to the children. Recita
tions and songs were given, and well
appreciated. Misses Lacy Hartley and
Matte Alther recited acceptable Sc
lections.
At the Presbyterian church full and |
program was carried out.
The church was tastefully decorated |
with flowers and plants, presenting a
appearance. RecitatiOns were |
given by Misses Mary Blair, Rena Ferrell
and Mamie Shannon. Music, in add ton,
formed the greater part of the program,
which throughout was pleasing and
THE long anticipated X of p picnic
at Harrisville, last Thursday, came off
to, program. The day, though
warm, was delightful. Knights to the
number of about one hundred were pres
snt from surrounding towns, and took
part in the parade. Many country people
5ook a day off and ate dinner in the
beautiful grove. DIR. Burgess, of New
Athens, and Prof G. T. Roche, Superin
endent of the Columbiana schools, de-
ivered addresses in the afternoon, both
laving reference to the historic features
If the order. A storm coming up late in
he afternoon cleared the grove, sending
he visitors to town for shelter Good t
music was furnished by the Mt. Pleasant |
and In the evening Miss Lillian Burk
Iart, an accomplished elocutionist from
gave well-attended enter
in the School Hall. Harrisville ,
a town set on hill, that can not be h
i'd, and day spent on her breezy ]
eights is one not to be regretted. +

On Saturday, a little before noon, the
dwelling house of John Turk, about x
miles east of this place, burned to the
groand. When discovered the fire had
gained such headway that it was found
impossible to save the building, and all
attention was given to saving the furni-
ture. In this, with the assistance of
neighbors, they succeeded, all the house
hold goods being removed from the
building. The fire originated from a
terra Gotta fiue, which ran from the
kitchen through an upstairs room, it be-
ing supposed that sparks worked their
way out through the joints. During the
progress of the fire, while attempting to
remove stand of bees out of the range
of the fire, George Barnes and Mrs. Isaac
Shallcross were both severely stung
about the head and neck. A sick child
was carried out of the house and laid
down within the range of the heat. Be
ing forgotten, it suffered from a slight
scorching, and requiring close medical
attention to save its life. The loss on the
building was about $500, with no insur-
ance. - -

The Proposed New Building of Wyo-
ming It the Worlds Fair.

Mr.. Elwood Mead, the genial secre-
tary OF the worlds Columbian fair COM
missioners from Wyoming, received a let
ter yesterday morning from the manager
OF the construction committee of the
building department In Chicago in regard
to the plans for the elegant and commo-
dious new building proposed by this
state. The letter stated that the building,
as proposed, had proved very acceptable to
the construction committe. He thought
himself that it was one OF the most ap-
propriate designs that had yet been sent
in and added that Wyoming had a right
to feel very highly comp.imated. in as
much as che was the second state to be
told to go ahead in erecting her building.
illinois comes first and Wyoming second.
