OF the methods OF punishment
that the investigation may be set on DOT.
1t has been the habit of the superintendent,

culprit is struck with the wire lashes and
as the wire touches his flesh shock,

applied to different parts OF the body in
quick succession, ana it is said that the
punishment never has to be repeated on the
same boy. Supt. Harrison, in speaking Of
the matter yesterday, said: 1T has been

satisfactory and we'll attended rehearsal
of the Cecilian Society was hold at the
Hobbie Music Hall Subsequent to the
rehearsal meeting of the executive
committee was held with tho president
of the society, Mr.. Lucien Cooke, pre-
siding After careful discussion of all
matters connected with tho society it
was determined to give three concerts
during the season of 1893. The first of
these concerts to take place within less
than two months time, and tho follow
ing two concerts to constitute a regular
musical fes 5ival to be given during tho
month of May. The constitution OF the
society provides that all homo ary mem
bers shall be entitled to two tickets to
each concert, the same to be used only
by non. residents. The question of par.
ticipation iii the musical events at
Chicago during the Worlds Fair, TO
which tho society has been invited, was
fully discussed and favorably con-
sidered. This matter will receive fur
thor attention by the society as whole.
Altogether the prospects for the Cpci-
liam Society are promising and fully up
to the expectations of its projectors and
promoters.
