BELLS SCHOOL HOU

One of the largest crowds that has
come together at Bell school house in
a long time, assembled there ON last
Friday, to witness the closing exercises
TAour school, all seemed to be well en-
tertained. The entertainment consisted
OF declarations, r%ecitations, dialogues,
and music; all the students acquitted
themselves with honor both to them
selves and teachers. This school is the
second taught at this place by w. f.
Hufine and w. [. Vines; they leave
with honor and a good name, we can
say that never has there been teachers
among us who tried harder and worked
more faithful to- advance and promote
the interests of the students than they.
They at all times have set an example
before their students, such that if fol-
lowed will bring them TO high and
noble manhood and womanhood. They
had difficulties to overcome, but their
motto was onward and upward, and
nothing could check their efforts. Will

administration for all that. Personally,
Cornelius Vanderbilt is a popular man.
He is rather quiet and reserved, but yet
sffaiole. although much averse to being
nuoted or to seeming TO thrust himself
forward in any way. He believes in

reason rarely makes himself conspicu-

wealth with all the fervor of youth
if not of logic. All the Vanderbilt
young ladies, for that matter, are
markedly radical and go in for
all manner of unconventional opin-
ions. Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt, for
instance, thinks there should not be
any prisons. Human beings ought 10
be brought out of their evil ways by
kindness and love. Miss Pauline
Whitney is an ardent advocate of
woman suffrage. Miss Edith Shepard
thinks there should be a law against
people having so much money while
others have next to none at all. All
agree that the income tax is a very good
thing, indeed.
1t was only natural. perhaps, that
finding themselves in such thorough ac-
cord, these young misses should unite
on general principles. There are al
ready lots Of little organizations to
which they and their sister heiresses
belong, such as whist clubs, dancing
classes, reading societies and what not,
but a union Of the downtrodden is
something out of the ordinary. Into it
they accordingly have gone and SO far
