In 1858, with Eppes Sargent and Park Benjamin, he contributed to gift book entitled "The Harbinger," the profits of which were given to the asy- lum for the blind. But his hereditary instincts appear to have been for the profession of medicine, and he studied under Dr. James Jackson, and then spent three years abroad, chiefly in Paris. He received his degree in is38 and the same year published his first book of poems.
 Tn 1889 he was chosen professor of an- atotny and physiology at Dartmouth. In ls40 he married Amelia Lee, daugh- ter of Judge Charles Jackson of the supreme court of Massachusetts, and soon afterward he resigned his professor ship at Dartmouth in order to devote himself to practice in Boston. In 1849 he established summer home at Pitts- field, Mass.
 In 1el7 he succeeded Dr. John c. Warren as professor of anatomy and physiology in the medical school of Har- yard. He gained three of the Boyslton prizes for medical dissertations and they were published together in 1888.
 The zenith of his power was attained in his contributions 10 The Atlantic Monthly for the first four years of its existence, the most popular of which se- cured for him the title by which he was best known, "The Autocrat of the Bsesktast Table" which appeared as 6 serial.
 The Professor at the Breakfast Table" followed. and then "The Profes- sor's Story" which appeared in book form as "Elsie Venner: A Tale of Des- tiny" He continued to give the public new works occasionally till in 1887, when Our Hundred Days In Europe" appeared. Several of his poerus have given the public popular phrases of al. most universal use. sach as "The Won derful One Hoss Shay" for instance.
 As poem of occasions, so to speak, Dr. Holmes has never been surpassed. Unlike nearly all other writers, many of his best poems have been written to order, as if were. that is, for some com. mencement day or festal occasion.

 He was g native of Bellefonte, Pa, and was born April %, 1915. His father, who was from County Clare, Ireland, established one of the first iron manu- factories in Pennsylvania. From ths father the young man inherited the ro- bust physique of the County Clare man and keen perception of humor that etood him in good stead during his long and perplexing public career. He was educated at the common schools of Bellefonte and the academy at Milton, and when he had finished the course of the latter institution two professions were open to him-the law and the min istry, He chose the former and was ad. mitted to the bar in 1839
 It was during the campaign of 1s40, when he was but g years of age, that young Curtin took the stump for Will liam Henry Harrison. Four years later he was even more prominent in the can yass for Henry Clay, his early man. hoods political idol. In 1s4s and 1859 he was Whig elector. In 1854 he was considered one of the leaders of his party, and his nomination for governor was strongly urged that year. He de- clined the honor because Governor Pol- lock, an old sehoolmate, desired 8 re- election, and he worked for his renom- ination and election with unbounded real. Pollock was elected and Curtin became his secretary of state. In this position he was ex-officio superintendent of common schools, and to this branch of his duties he devoted much thought and careful attention.
 He was elected governor of PennsyI- vania in 1860 by 32. GOO majority.
 Throughout the war Governor Curtin supported MT. Lincoln's policy un- swervingly He left the gubeFnatorial chair in 1867.

 CHICAGO, Oct. 9.-A panic at Jacobs Clark Street theater folio wed the dis. covery of fire in an adjoining building Sunday night. Half of the audience rushed out of the theater and the re. mainder were thrown into confusion be. fore it was discovered that no lives were in danger The employees and police al the theater made every effort to prevent the panic. They assured the audience that the fire was in the next building. but this had no effect on the frightened people.
 Three hundred men and boys were crowded into the stairway leading to the street from the gallery. They swore, fought and struggled in their mad frenzy to break down the door. Only the ef- fective and timely work of policeman prevented their trampling each other to death. After several minutes work with his club the officer succeeded in clearing the door and stairway and the crowd got out safely. A number of persons were quite seriously hurt in the crush and some women were carried out in fainting condition.

HoN ". R. JONES, of the Melville Echo, will be member of the next House and we are greatly mistaken if he will not be one of the leaders in that body. Before he came to Arkansas Mr, Jones was Demo cratic candidate for Congress in one of the Illinois districts and came within few votes of being elected. He is a well-informed and intelligent gentleman, an able speaker and will be credit to the Arkansas House of Representatives. We predict that it is but the beginning of a very brilliant political career in this State.

AN APPEAL
Issued by the Presbyterian Church for the Aid of the Presbyterian ooiored
 SehOols.

Some years ago the members CT the First Presbyterian church of this city, having the interest of the col ored brethren at heart and with full faith that the truth, as taught " that church, would be effective for their enlightenment, elevation and salvation, started a mission and school among them, with Rev. Lew is Johnston, then a member of lse Pine Bluff Presbytery, in charge.
 Owing to the financial weakness of the S"uthern church, especially in this Presbytery, Mir. Johnston and his work were transferred to the Northern church, which has given great aid to the work. A commo- dious church and school building was first erected and later, d dormitory. Amid all the difficulties that sur rounded the work, it grew and pros pered, and the last school year, 1S93-4, there were 270 pupils enrolled; and these were duly taught the Bible and Catechism (Westminster9-si- lent, potent agencies for good that will be felt in time.
 Both the white and eolored Pres byterian churches of Pine BlGff lost their houses of worship by fire last year. and that this mission may not be crippled, suitable structure, of such nature as not to draw unfa- vorable comment, should be erected.
 Tn order that new, greater and stronger efforts may be put forth in behalf of thes4 people we earnestly request all to whom this appeal may come will remember this work with an offering, be it great or small. If not convenient to send now, write the amount Of your pledge and send to Rev. Lewis Johnston, of this city.
 This place is a center of influence, and the good work done here will be felt on every side. Lend helping hand. You can help in many ways by gift, by bequest, by bringing it before ladies missionary and Chris tian Endenvor societies, bands, bri- gadts and churches. We appeal to all who are interested in mission work.
 We have known the Rev. Lewis Johnston for years and we commend him to you and trust you will re- ward his long and faithful efforts by liberal gifts to this work which is so near his heart. You can not be too strongly impressed with it's urgency and importance. These people need more than secular education or ele- yation and more than ordinary lead CTS for guides. Strong and powerful agencies work against them. Come up to the help of the Lord against the mighty.

BILE, Congressman Charles G. Conn of Elk
hart, Ind, stepped in and bought the pa
per and assumed its liabilities. Congress
man Conn is anxious to distinguish him
self as the publisher of an independent
Democratic newspaper, and as he has am
pie means he may establish The Times on
q firm foundation. Mr.. Conn has had a
career that is calculated to and
vindicate his self confidence. A few years
ago he had a bench in the corner of q jew
elry store in Elkhart, where he mended
watches, clocks and musical Instruments.
One day, while repairing a tuba, an idea
occurred to him that was worth several
million dollars and resulted in the inven-
ton Of q rubber mouthpiece for musical
wind Instruments, which was patented
and Immediately adopted all over the
world. This lucky little hit made Mr..
Conn's fortune. At Elkhart he established
one of the largest factories in the world
for the manufacture of brass and silver
musical Instruments, which is run on the
cooperative plan, and the profits are di-
vided between himself and his employees.
He also has factories at Worcester, Mass.
and his friends declare he plays with
much skill every instrument he manufac-
lures. Mr.. Conn was a Union soldier and
has been q member of the Indiana legisla-
ture. He was born in Phelps, Ontario
county, N. Y, in 1874.
