BOON THE

II there are any institutions above
others that the INTELLIGENCER is proud
Of, they are L~exington's schools. In
this historic old town we have as fine
schools rs will be found in this great
western country. Our colleges are oul
greatest institutions, and in speaking
good of them we need feel no restric'
tons, for it would be impossible to
exaggerate the opportunities they afford
to those seeking q finished college
education.
All of them have records. They
have been established many years, and
are not experiments. Their history is
q record of magnificent work for
humanity and for Lexington. They
advertise Lexington. They bring a
large amount of money here. Their
existence in our midst adds to the
value Of every piece Of property and
every business in Lexington. The in
fiuence they exert over the community
cannot be estimated, from q financial
standpoint. In turn for the benefits
that result from them to the commu
nifty, we in turn owe them q duty,a well
defined and an all important duty. 1t
matters not how great the efforts Of the
college authorities in other parts of the
state, unless they have the moral and
undivided support of the "hOme peo-
pie" these efforts will to a degree be
fruitless. The INTELLIGENCER does
not mean to say that Lexington people
do moi assist the colleges, but 1t does
mean to say that we might do more.
Our institutions open in September.
We q do much for them before that
time, IL we will only look about US.

The tariff confreres have as yet
reached no conclusion. The main diff

the sugar schedule. Over thirty prop

to no effect. There are differences on

Pleasure and Profit.

We understand that several OF the
teachers in our city schools are passing
their vacation 81 as to make 1t an
occasion OF profit as well as OF pleasure.
We mention those Of whose whereabouts
and occupation we have incidentally
learned:
Prof. Bauer is in Leipzig, Germany,
occasionally playing with and for his
former teachers, Drs. Reinecke and
Weidenbach, attending opera, etc. The
professor says he is having q good time.
Mr.. Busch is also in Leipzig, visiting
his wife, who is studying piano under
Reinecke. He took with him, from
Kansas City, two Of his advanced violin
pupils, to place them in charge Of a
specialist in that great musical center.
Miss Fitzgerald is at Chautauqua.
studying, at the great summer university
there, Latin, Philosophy, and Literature.
Miss Hamilton is at Boston, studying
Elocution and Physical Culture. Miss
Mexican is at Amherst. Mass, studying
French and German.
1t appears, too, that Miss Bing, Cen
trails accomplished vocal teacher, is not
letting the grass grow under her feet.
Besides singing in q church in Ohio, she
is engaged in occasional concert work.
The Granton, Ohio. Republican, Of
July IA, has this to say Of a vocal con-
cert in which she was the principal
figure: "a large audience greeted the
singers participating in the concert at
Spencer Church, last night, and every
one present was delighted from the first
note of The Village Harvest Home
by Miss Kicker, until the last one Of
Home, Sweet Home,' by Miss Misner.
1t was a pleasing program throughout.
and exceptionally we'll rendered, the
singing of Miss Bling. Of course, being
the principal attraction. Her first solo
was Rotoli's Dying Flower which was
beautifully rendered. The enunciatiOn,
(which is a rarity these musical times, J
was perfect, her quality Of tone admira-
bic, her tones pure, and the carrying
quality Of her voice in diminuendOs so
perfect as to produce the impression Of
o perfect echo. An Aria by ROssini.
displayed Miss Bing'sfine execution and
technique, the difficult piece being sung
with great ease and charming effect.
Miss Bing's voice is remarkably rich and
pure, and of good range and timbre, and
admirably adapted to OrstoriO. 1t is
a voice that one longs to hear again and
again, as was shown by the many
recalls. The lullaby, Rock q Bye,
Baby sung as an encore, was probably
more thoroughly appreciated than any
other piece during the evening, as it was
familiar to all, and disclosed other fine
qualities In the singers beautiful voice"

The Republican County Convention
was advertised for last Saturday.
1t happened as advertised.
Every attraction on the bill board
was rendered.
The main circus, while there was
only n ring, vas up to former ap-
pearances, and, together with side
shows, was interesting to spectators.
The Lexington delegation was about
fifty strong, and though it did not
have a band, their .~.influence was
powerful"
Napoleon and Wellington both had
bands on the scene, and when things
began to grow monotonous the
musicians would '.strike up a tune"
All in all, the convention was large,
representative and enthusiastic.
The .'cullud brother was largely
in the minority, so much so that his
identity was almost lost.
Promptly at ten O'Clock, on Saturday
morning, in the court house, at the
progressive city of Higginsville, Chair
man Kleinsmidt, of the County Central
Committee, called the convention to

British Sailors Enjoy Themselves-A

1t was very quiet along the water front
Christmas Day. Schooners, barges and
steamers quite generally displayed bits
of bunting. and work was suspended all
along the wharves. There was but one
English steamer in port, the Oregon, and
all the forenoon her decks were fragrant
with the odors of the approaching Christ
mas dinner, which is a notch above any
other dinner Of the year. Roast beef,
turkeys, geese and plum duff, witha bot
tie of beer for each sailor, as special
favor, made up the appetizing menu.
The next. English steamer to arrive
will be the Allan liner Pomeranian,
which is expected today. She comes in
place of the Monaghan. which is laid of
for repairs to her machinery.

long, it's foot eighty feet, its head thir-

feet There are about thousand yards
of duck in this sail. This duck is of cot.

cost seventeen cents more yard. max

The big sloop that is to wear the sail,
is upwards of one hundred tons burden,
aud is commanded by Captain John

Mr.. Fowler has probably been in the
business OF sail making longer than any
other man in Portland, although there
are older individual sail makers.

Insane Man Arrested.

Marshal Trickey received telegram
from the chief of police of Rochester,
N. H., saying that the Rochester force
had arrested man, who was apparently
insane, and who gave the name of Sam
uel Stillman Greengar. carpenter and
cabinet maker by trade, and who claimed
Portland as his residence. The prisoner
told the Rochester police that he and six
other men were building wooden rail
road from Portsmouth to Portland.
No such NAH is known in Portland, but
it was remembered that man answer
ing the description of Greengar, and who
gave the name of Stillman, was arrested
here long time ago for an assault with
a Ratchet 1t was thought that Greengar
and Stillman were possibly one and the
same person.
