The Ohio state Fair.

For months past, in fact since the ex-
hibition OF last year, the State Board Of
Agriculture has been perfecting plans
and arrangements for great State Fair
and Industrial Exhibition in 1892, it be-
ing concluded that by the time set, Sep
tember l2, 13, IA, 10 and l6, the vast
improvements, additions and embellish-
ments contemplated and mapped out on
the grounds and buildings at Columbus,
would be completed and the peoole pre-.
sented an industrial exhibition, in mag
nitude and merit, that should excel any.
thing in the United States, and on a
much grander scale than usual, repre-
sent the capabilities of the great State Of
Ohio in the progress Of her people and
the many branches of her industries.
The Board has succeeded in perfecting
all the improvements and additions to
the grounds and buildings that were
mapped out, and the people can look
forward to the Exposition in September
az one OF the greatest events in Ohio
fair history.
The first great object OF the Board has
been to provide beautiful grounds and
an exposition progressive, meritorious
and educational in its character, and
next to those, wholesome amusements
and special attractions to please all
classes and make their visit to the fair
recrestive and enjoyable.
For special entertainment in the park,
the Board hos engaged the best musical
talent in the State for daily open.air
band concerts, and on the speed track,
excitement and interest will be OCCASION
ed by spirited contests in the we'll filed
trotting and pacing classes, and over the
contest for superiority of blood, in the
breeders trotting stakes.
The railways Of the State and all con-
Meeting lines will extend greatly re-
duced rates and run cheap excursions
from every point during the entire fair.
Let every body turn out and see for
themselves what Ohio can and has done.

Ohio has reason to be proud Of its
beautiful and accomplished women; no

should feel special interest in "Society

includes superb portraits and authentic

representative portraits are from photo

Don't Worry.

The following remarkable calculation
on the capacity OF heaven, which has
frequently been published, but is curl
osity in its way and well worthy place
among our other wonders" is taken
bodily from Bombaugh's "Gleanings for
the Curious"
The basis of the calculation, which
will furnish much food for thought, is
found in Revelations xxi, 26: "And he
measured the city (the New Jerusalem)
with reed, IL, 2,O00iuIionge. The longth,
the breadth and the heighth are equal"
Let us see Twelve thousand furlongs.
100000 feet, which being cubed, is
953, ,0ss, ,0OO, ,OOO, 900, ,OOO, ,OOO, ,OOO, 600 cubic
feet. Half Of this we reserve for the
throne of God and the court of heaven,
half of the remainder for streets, leaving
balance OF l24, 1913, ,272 ,OOO, 900, 600, 900
cubic feet.
Divide the last by 1905, the cubic feet
in room 16 feet square, and you will
find that there is still eneuph left for
30 1921 ,943, ,75O, ,0OO, 900 rooms
We will now suppose that the world
always did and always will contain $780,
000, 900 of inhabitants, and that eener.
alton lasts 333 years. making in all $780, :
OOO, ,OOO, 600 souls.
Then suppose that there are 100
worlds equal to this in point OF number
of inhabitants and duration OF years,
making 297 900, 600. .OOO, 600, then heaven
according to the measurement above is
large enough to allot 100 rooms, each l6
feet square. to each soul. Philadelphia

The Maine Temperance Record some
what misunderstands the PRESS atti-
tude in regard to the proposal to give to
druggists the right to sell liquor for pur-
poses recognized by the statute as light
mate. The PRESS has not given its sup
port to druggists "bill." 1t has no
knowledge that there is any such bill in
existence or in preparation even. The
PRESS has simply given it's endorsement
to the idea that there may be some bet
ter way to dispense liquors than through
the town agencies, and that that way
may be through the druggists. We are
committed to no particular plan, indeed
have not considered any. If the drug
gists or anybody on their behalf shall
present practicable plan which is well
guarded against abuse we shall be in
clined to support it. The most we have
done up to the present time is to protest
against the assumption which we find in
some quarters that the agency plan is
the only feasible one for the dispensing
of liquors for medicinal purposes, and
that any plan looking to comforting that
function upon the druggists is necessari-
ly move in the direction of free rum or

EPIoRAM AND PARODY.
An Unwritten Leaf of History and Hand
full of Travesties.

In Rhodes history, noticed by the
PRESS the other day, is an epigram attri-
buted to William L. Marcy which may be,
old to some people, but probably new to
most, as it certainly is to me. 1t was
after Buchanan committed himself to
rotation in Office, and Pierce's appointees
were getting their walking papers as fast
as they could be made out, that Marcy
dryly said: s'They have it that am the
author of the oficeseeker's doctrine that
to the victors belong the spoils,' but I
certainly should never recommend the
policy of pillaging my own camp
This same history contains vivid ac-
count of the stormy reception which
Chicago gave Douglas when he came
back to defend his course in framing the
Kansas Nebraska bill; but do not find
recorded the contemptuous phrase with
which he closed the doings of that bois-
ferrous evening. 1t was on Saturday
night in August, 1854, that he made his
plea. During the afternoon all the flags

dusk the church bells were tolled, as at
funerals. When night came great and
hostile concourse gathered where Doug
las was to speak. The firstiew sentences
that fell from his lips were received in
silence; but as he went on the incensed
multitude broke into groans and yells.
Again and again the speaker strove to
make himself understood, now cajoling
and now threatening in speech. The
mob of sullen and angry men would
have none of him. For four hours he
faced that crowd, coaxing it, denouncing
it, pleading with it. Finally the clocks
struck midnight Douglas paused, and
for moment the mob became still.
Drawing his watch from its fob and
glancing at its face, he once more con-
fronted the angry throng. Gentlemen"
he said, SIT is now Sunday morning;
am going to church-and you can go to
hellp' and turned on his heel. For
the first time that night the crowd broke
into a cheer.
Things like these are sometimes
thought beneath the dignity of history;
perhaps Mr.. Rhodes thinks SO; but they
are precisely the things upon which Ma
caulay seized with avidity, that Carlyle
delighted to repeat in his pages, and in
which the great masters of historical fic-
ton find their account. AS aids to the
estimation of character and conduct they
often outweigh cart-load of set speeches
and public documents.

reviewed at considerable length, that

The story that the grand jury is going
to investigate the question of Lizzie Bor-
denis sanity looks very much like what
is known in the slang of the day as a
''fake"- that is lie made out of whole
cloth. The province of the grand jury is
to ascertain if a crime has been commit
ted and if there is probable cause to be-
lieve that certain person committed it.
These two facts ascertained it is its
duty to find an Indictment against
the person to whom the evidence
points and present him for trial before a
petit jury. A Massachusetts, statute does
authorize the jury to refuse to find
Indictment in case the person implicated
by the testimony is insane, and this may
seem as a justification for an elaborate
inquiry into the mental condition of the
accused. 1t is probable, however, that
that statutN was enacted to cover cases
of obvious insanity where the facts were
so patent that no elaborate inquiry was
needed, and that trial of that question
was not really contemplated. The pre-
sumption which the grand jury must act
on is that the accused is sane and re-
sponsible for his acts, and having ascer-
tanned to strong degree of probability
that he has committed crime it
is ordinarily its duty to present him.
Miss Borden has generally been regarded
as of sane mind. At any rate there
have been no obvious indications of
anything to the contrary. If then
the jury has begun search for evil
denee of insanity it seems to us, that
they are inclined to be unduly
lenient, or that for some reason they are
reluctant to confess that there is not evil
dence enough to convince them that she
committed the crime of which she is &C
cused. Either hypothesis impeaches the
honesty and fairness of the jury, for if the
evidence shows strong reason to believe
that she committed the crime she
