GOV. FOSTER.
The Great Ohio Politician
and
.FINANCIER FORCED mol ASSIGN.

surprise anu eAClIement were
caused this morning by the an
nouncement that Charles Foster,
Ex-Governor, ex Secretary of the
Treasury and Fostoria's most
prominent citizen, had failed and
had turned his heavy financial in
terests, in an embarrassed CON
dition, over to an assignee.
The assignee is S. b. Gormlee,
a prominent banker of Bucyrus,
and a warm friend of Mr.. Foster.
The liabilities are given out by
Mr.. Foster as 5000, 600, and the
assets as about the same. He
made the assignment during the
night, and the papers were fled
at Tifin by Mr.. Scott, his attor-
Sney. AT an early hour this morn
ing, the bank of Foster & Co.
was closed on an attachment for
So, 200 in favor of Isaac Harter
Milling Company, and at the
same time the wholesale grocery
house of Davis s. Foster was
closed by an attachment for ST.
200 in favor of o. 7. Brown.
The assignment of ex.Secre-
tary Foster was the signal for
the assignment of a number OF
concerns in which he was inter
ested.
The loss TO business men who
were depositors in Foster q Co.'s
bank is one Of the deplorable

that will cause them to assign. A.

Savings Bank this morning as
soon as its doors were opened,
but with so, 600 in currency piled
upon The cashiers desk, the de-
mands of all frightened deposi-
tors We're promptly met and
none turned away. The loss to
Fostoria is a great one, and one
that will require considerable
time to recover from; but great
as it is. the regret on this account
in no way lessons the regret and
sympathy expressed for Mr..
Foster. 1t IS conceded that his
generosity and public spirit have.
been the Indirect cause of his
financial downfall, as he was ever
ready to lend a helping hand.
The failure is due to the fact
that Mr.. Foster'has been a very
heavy indorser for three assigned
window glass houses and the
brass and iron works, his en-
dorsements for these companies
aggregating over 100000. The
stringency of the money market
caused banks to requestpayment
of the notes which preclpitated
the failure.
Mr.. Foster first began business
in Fostoria as a dry goods mer-
chant. Soon after the war closed
he helped to organize the Fostc
ria National Bank. BY shrewd
speculation in real estate he be-
came wealthy, and in 1879. when
elected Governor of Ohio for the
first time, was reputed to be
worth 81, 100000. During the
next four years he lost heavily

Paris, the capital for students IL q very
different city from the Paris of the tourists.
Across the Seine, the Boulevard Saint
Michel, around the Luxembourg aud as far out
even Is Vaugirard there stretches the modern
Latin Quarter, eaten into In many parts by the
ordinary life of Paris but still maintaining an
individuality and contributing still to the many
sided life of Paris. the great capital. A set Of
students of very different kind are found in a
very different part of Paris. These are young
lady art students, among them a number of
Americans. but thew hardly make a show among
the mass Of men, whose ways are so different
from their own. The students of the singing
schools are, on the other hand, overwhelmingly
feminine.
Many a snug apartment and boarding house
shelter these young song birds. many Of them
'amateurs" with comfortable mammas opening
well-flled purses. 1t Is at once the blessing
and the fault of these young ladies that they do
not need to follow singing for q livelihood and
will never be heard in public. What strange
fate pushes poor girls into such miserably
paid profession as painting and draws ri.h girls
into such splendidly paid career iging is

the physiological ground OF feeding. girl
should ordinarily be we'll nurtured and cared
for from her extreme youth to be a great
singer: while there is something in the proud
dejectedness and restless WEAKNESS OF the
painter that goes well with high thinking and
poor living.
The length OF time required to finish in
either opera or concert depends greatly on the
talent and industry of each student and also on
the repertoire to which she aspires. Among
the concert singers leaving private musical
schools some studied two and others three years
here in Paris. Many will return after their
concert tours to get up other songs, and others.
after singing awhile in concert, return to take
the opera course, which does not require SO
long time as is sometimes supposed after
opera airs have already been studied. Others
yet sing their sweet songs for few months and
incontinentiy marry. and, crac. the pianoforte is
deserted and all the daughters Of music are
brought low.

TO political and social offenders snd the bring

Inasmuch as the whole university life of
France centers in Paris to the extent that ex-
animation papers written in Aigiers are for
warded to the capital for inspection, 1t il only
to be expected that the regulation classical
courses alone should contribute to the glorih-
cation Of the city Of light in no mean way.

MOTHERS DOUGHNUTS.
The Young Husband Gives in to One of Hi
Young Wife's Tricks.

HOung Wffe'S Ir1cks.
From the New York Commercial Advertiser
"Lottie," said the young husband, as he
sulkily munchei his provender, couldn't
you make some doughnuts like mother used to
make?"
81 can try" said the young wife, family, as
she recoiled from the shock, and no more was
said on the subject then.
A day or two afterward Mrs. Lo,tie wrote to
her mother-in-law asking for a recipe for those
same doughnuts.
~ am going to surprise Harold with them
some day." she concluded the letter.
The receipt came. 1t was in quite differ
ent shape from what she had expected, but it
pleased her very much.
Dear Harold will be so grateful" she said
to herself, but she hadn't haf gagged the
depths and shades of dear Harold's appetite
yet.
"Doughnuts," he shifted, as he sat down to
supper "Oh, did you ever write to mother
for her receipt"
''Yes, and this is it," said Lo:.ie, with a
| smile.
1T is? Not much it is! Why, phew! Rock
salt and saleratus! And they're as tough as
gate hinges. Why cannot the women of today
do anything our mothers did2 Now, these

Don't saw any more, Harold" said his wife,
quietly. "Your mother made those doughnuts
and sent them by express. They are only
| twenty -four hours old, and they are like the
| old fashioned doughnuts always are-made OF
raised dough. Try another"
But Harold sulked and Lottie went to the
piano and softly sang:
