HIRAM.

The entertainment given by the Musical
and Oratorical Departments of the College
last week was triumphant success, reflect
ing great credit on the teachers, VIM. E.
Adams, of the Oratorical, and Mrs. S. W.
Pearcy, of the Musical department. A
pleasing program was presented in such per-
feet manner as to leave no doubt of the cor
rect and thorough teachings the participants
had received. Space and time will not per-
nit the while program to be given here, and
to mention a part would be great injustice
to those not mentioned.
The lecture given by T. ]. Graves, of
Georgia, The Reign of the Demagogue," !"
was the best ever given here, and one that
ought to be given i'll every voting precinct in
this country. Party lines ought to be oblit-
Grated and a union of the people formed, for
one purpose only-to drive the demagogue
from place and power. There is not polit-
ical party in this country which is not con-
trolled more or less by the pestiferous dema-
gOgue, and generally more. Give us more

the students, said the lecture of Mr.. Graves
was the finest rhetorical effort he had ever
listened to. But in the afternoon, after lis
tening to Prof. Persons powerful and mas
terly lecture, in Chapel, on the Culture of
the Four Hundred" President collars was
moved to say that Prof. Persons rhetoric
fully equalled the Graves lecture, and far
| excelled it in thought, The central idea in
Persons lecture was, " there ought to be an
aristocracy in culture, rather than in wealth. -
1t has always been wonder to me why people
will chase after these flamdOodle Bureau lee
lures, when there is far better material right
in their midst. Bureau lecturers and quack
doctors are about on par. If Prof. Pierson
| belonged to the Bureau he would be much
sought for, but such men don't belong to the
Bureau stripe. a gentleman well posted on
the lecture subject once said to me, " no first
class man is enrolled in the Bureau"
John Allen had about forty tons of ice

the mercury fell SO degrees in six hours, as it
did during the late unpleasantness.

depot, rather early and Shupe, being weary
and broken of rest, fell asleep, and on awak-
ening, found his friend missing, as well as
his money, $3.50. Luckily the R. R. had
given students return tickets for one fare,
and Shupe thereby reached Hiram, with an
increased knowledge of the ways that are

SHE SEEMED QUITE SYMPATHETIC.
But She Had Personal Reasons for Anx-
iety Concerning Strangers.

There had been slight accident to
the incoming suburban train; one or
two people were cut by flying glass,
but the other passengers escaped with
slight shaking up. The danger was
now all over and the passengers were
all telling each other just what they had
said or done when the accident oc-
Cured.

anybody seen"
aMy goodness!" cried the pretty
blonde, my satchel looks so queer
like it had all been dattened out. What
if my lovely chiffon waist is ruinea?"
She opened it hastily and closed it with

Paris G. Nichols.

Paris G.. Nichols died at his home in Hiram
township, Wednesday, January 16, 1895, at III
o'clock, after a period of physical prostratlon
extending over five years. The immediate cause
of his death was apoplexy.
Hewas assisted to his bed, Sunday evening, as
usual, and had just touched his head to the pill
low when the shock came, completely paralyz1ng
him, and utterly depriving him of the power OF
speech, in which condition he remained until
the end.
The funeral was held last Saturday at o'clock
from the home Rev. II. d. Stauffer, Pastor of
the Ravenna Methodist Episcopal Church, ott1-
ciating, and was largely attended
| Paris G. Nichols was born in Crown Point, N
" July 10th, 1923, being the Oldest son of Andrew
and Sally Nichols. He came to Ohio with his
parents in early life the family locating in Sha-
| lersviIle Portage County. Here he remained
until he was about IA years of age,w when he went
| to North Lee, Massachusetts,, remaining there
| seven years. Here he was married to Miss Han
| nah Younglove, soon after which event he re-
| turned to ShalersviIle. This was in the Fall OF
1851, and the next Spring they moved on to the
farm where they both resided until the close OF
| their earthly lives.
There were born to them six children-two
sons and four daughters-one son and three
daughters surviving, all of whom were permitted
to be present at his death bed.
The wife and mother died last February Two
| brothers,. H. Nichols of Ravenna, and A. Nj
Nichols, of Freedom-and two sisters-Mrs. Mar
tina L. Wharield, of Sterling, Ill, and Mrs Ro
sella ]. Wharfeld, of Toledo, O.-are the sur
viving members of the fathers family.
Mr.. Nichols was twice elected to the office o
County Commissioner, serving two terms, from
18- to 1S-. Itwas during his last term that tn
Court House was remodeled and enlarged, ant
the successful elimination of the proposal wa
largely due to his efforts and influence.
Industry and business sagacity made him
type of the model farmer-traits which wer
crowned with abundant success in accumulation
of fine property solely the result of his sturd
and energetic characteristics of practical busi
ness and industrial achievement He was mai
who scrupulously abided by his word in all bus
mess transactions, his oral pledge or agreemen
being as good as written bond.

A PETITION was fled last Saturday in St.
Louis, by the first mortgage bond holders OF
the Union Pacific railroad, to foreclose their
mortgage, amounting to $S2 GOO. The
road is not expected to sell for the amount OF
this mortgage, in which event the govern
ment and all other creditors will lose the en-
tire amount of their claims against the prop
erty. Those in charge of the government s
interests, however, insist that it is a
a measure designed simply to coerce Con-
gress to extend the time of its liens against
the corporation on terms favorable to first
mortgage bond holders, as involved in the
Reilly bill now before Congress.
