People who have aplease not pub

the County Clerks Office when they
get marriage license, throw them
selves open to all sorts of unpleas-
ant criticism and gossip. Don't get
married if you are ashamed of il;
andif you are not ashamed of i,
don't try to conceal it, as though
you had been doing something mean
and disgraceful. "Please not pub
fish" is not good sign.

The Cincinnati Enquirer, of last
Saturday, says Julius w. Eckard
was received at the City Hospital
yesterday, suffering from a structure
Of the oesophagus. The patient lives
in Brighton, w. Va, and came to
this city for treatment. About six
months ago his throat commenced
to swell. After time he became
better, but lately he has not been
able to eat solid food. Although
the best medical attention was given
him Eckard became so much worse
that he finally decided to come here
for treatment. On his arrival his
physician advised him to enter the
City Hospital. When admitted he
was in a terrible condition, and it
was with difficulty that he could
swallow liquid food. The esopha-
gus is contracted and the patient
suffers intense agony.

The devastating effects OF the ter
rible floods throughout the West
have reached such an enormous
degree that the estimated amount
is stated in appalling figures. More
than one hundred persons were
drowned, and the total loss TO prop
=erty is placed at fifty million dollars
The greatest loss is in the complete
ruin of crops, orchards, meadows,
and the like in the inundated re
gions.
Homes have been ruined, houses
have passed away forever, fences
destroyed and many thousands of
cattle. horses and hogs drowned.
That which is left is only the slime
and mud covered land itself. The
great flood of 1884 in the Ohio val
ley was hardly a spring freshet by
comparison. No such wreck and
ruin, so general in its nature and
covering such a vast expanse of
territory, was ever before known in
this country.

Our PUBLIc SoHooLs.-Thursday
night was commencement exercises
for our public schools. 1t took
place in HoofFs Opera House, and
the building was crowded from
floor to dome, until there was not
even standing room. and many peo-
pie had to go away. 1t is the first
time in the history of our public
schools that we have ever had a
graduating class and diplomas
awarded. Those who graduated
were the Misses Byrd Williams, of
Henderson, and Alice Neale, May
Gibbons and Fannie Ray, of this
city. Every one did their part
well, and there was no jar or break
in any of the proceedings of the
evening. The whole exercises OF
the evening were interesting and
the parties who appeared upon the
stage were met with applause, and
showered with boquets. The en-
thusiasm of the scholars was shared
by the audience. The surprising
part of the program was the fine
manner in which the smaller chill
dren rendered their parts and the
wonderful talent displayed. The
program was a long one, and it is
impossible for us to mention each
and every one who participated.
Suffice to say, all did extremely
well, and surprised their most ard
emit admirers.

Scotia to the United States. Prince Ed
ward Island has shipped to Boston over
640,000 dozens by one steamship line
alone, which is greatly in excess Of the to-
tai shipments last year, and has also sent
immense quantities by Others steamship
routes and by rail to the United States.
Heavy shipments have also been made
to England from Ontario and Quebec.
For some reason prices have run very
high lately, and Prince Edward Island
egg raisers have been making money.

When the elder Sothern was alive, he
and Florence ran many tilt with each

sharpened too. One night Sothern gave

house, while at another near by Flor
ence appeared in the Mighty Dollar"
During one of the waits between acts
Florence, in all the glory of stage cos
tune, got into hack, was driven to
Sothern's theater, and climbing over
the footlights grasped Lord Dundreary
by the hand. After solemn shake and
the remark, you're not in it," he dis
appeared.
An hour or SO later came Sothern's
turn. Still attired as Dundreary he got
in the rear door of Florence's theater,
walked on the stage as the hero Of the
"Mighty Dollar" was CONFUSING the
audience with laughter and fell on his
neck, sobbing as though his heart would
break. "Me boy" he cried, "has't come
to this?" Then the curtain fell.

Wonderful Progress in Japan.

Half a century has made q great diff
ference in the political and physical as
pect of Japan. Fifty years ago foreign
ers were hated, and the land was DOM
mated by the daimios, who correspond
ed in their power and responsibility to
central government to the feudal
barons of the Middle Ages. Travel was
matter of difficulty and danger, and
news was transmitted by messenger or
word of mouth. Now the kingdom has
constitutional government, parlia-
ment and modernized system of finance.
Americans and Europeans are at least
tolerated, and their ideas are accepted
with intelligent eagerness. Indeed, a
late report is to the effect that the bulk
of the revenues is derived from rail
ways and telegraphs operated by the
government.
