LIVELY MEETING.


There was an unusually interesting and
lively meeting Of the Benning Citizens
Association last evening, which was called
to order by Vice President Mewshaw. Be-
sides good number Of members, several
ladies were present to listen to the discus
sion Of the monthly topic, Manual Train
ing in the Public Schools" which waxed so
warm that the chairman was compelled to
call members to order several times.
After roll-caI and reading of minutes of
last meeting the road committee made its
report, which was accepted, and then the
committee on education, through Mr.. New
shaw, reported that they had held meet
ing, at which 1t was ascertained, first that
the shop in which the boys and girls Of
Benning were being taught different trades
&C., was located about a mile from the
school house; second, that one room In the
school house was improperly heated in the
winter time and third, that the furniture
in rooms where the fourth, fifth, sixth,
seventh and eighth grades are taught is Of
an antiquated pattern and wholly INSULT
cfent to accommodate the pupils. In view
of the foregoing facts the committee recon-
mend that an addition be built TO the pres
ent school house of sufficient size to &C
commodate the manual training and the
cooking and sewing schools. and that an
additional stove be provided for Mrs. voor-
hees' room, as well as new and sufficient
furniture for the five higher grades. On
motion of Mr.. Clark the report was accept
ed, the recommendations concurred In, and
the committee authorized to go ahead and
secure the needed improvements.
Mr.. Broone of the auditing committee re-
ported having examined the books and
found collections to the amount of $111, and
on request the chairman granted the COM
mittee further time in which to complete
its report. The furniture committee was
also granted another week. The secretary
then read a communication from Mr.. s. II.
Hipsley. stating that the lamps Of the
association had been turned over to Mr.
N. keyser, and on motion the committee
was discharged.
Under the head of good Of the associa-
ton the monthly topic for discussion,
Manual Training in the Public Schools"
was taken up and very ably and forcibly
discussed. Prof Voorhees, Of the Benning
School stated that it was the aim of these
training schools to train the eye and the
hand Of the pupils. He said Washington
was behind the other cities. but rapidly
catching up and perfecting its system. He
cersured the parents of Benning for not
visiting the schools and encouraging the
teachers in their work. Mr.. Mewshaw de-
livered an elaborate address. and was fol-
lowed by Mr.. France, who opposed manual
training in the public schools because, he
thought. 1t an injury to trades unions.
Prof. VOORHEES, said he thought trades
unions were curse to the country, and
that assertion nearly precipitated a small
rot; but matters were smoothed over, and
finally, on motion, discussion of the topic
was continued until next Tuesday evening,
after which the meeting adjourned.

said in that bluff, hearty way your Amcri'
can men have:
"Glad to meet you, Mr.. Tree-vcry hap
py to meet you indeed. Shall take great
pleasure in hearing and seeing you when
you open in New York"
l was rather abashed and hardly knew
what to say. Here was man who had al
lowed his paper to praise me unstintedly
since my appearance in New York, and he
didn't even know it. / was told l had
made n hit; that my success was remark
able, and this American editor thought |
had not appeared yet.
After all, what is fame when such a
thing can happen in progressive city like
New York? He was afterward told of his
mistake by n mutual friend and returned
and apologized very profuscly for what he
thought / would feel offended about. !

came quite confidential over the blunder.
That could probably not have happened ir

Your newspaper people are wonderful
creations to me. They seem to neither eat

low eyed and ravenously looking for news,
and then the newspaper womcn-So bright

Make the statement that Sarsaparillas
containing Iodide of Potassium arc un-
safe to use, excepting under the supervi-
sion of an experienced physician, and
that their continued use tends to impov-
erish instead of purifying the blood. AL
SO, that in many cases they act as direct
poison and cause serious trouble, defeat
ing the object for which they were taken.
Many of the leading Sarsaparillas were
analyzed and found to contain this poi
sonous chemical.
This is an unprejudicod statement
made by the most scientific body of men
in New England and is warning to the
public against the use of dangerous and
injurious medicines.
During the changing seasons while the
blood is thick with accumulated impuri-
ties, the liver and kidneys, which are
filters Of the body, are clogged and con-
gested. They are overworked and need
assistance. Sarsaparilla especially Hon
duras Sarsaparilla, was highly valued by
our forefathers as spring medicine; but
the searchlight of medical investigation
has proved that neither Honduras nor any
other Sarsaparilla has any medical value
1t is simply used as flavoring for the
soda fountain or to disguise the nauseous
taste of disagreeable medicine.
What one needs is nerve tonic, a prep
aration that acts on the liver and kidneys,
aids the digestive organs in performing
their duties and thus build up the general
system and remove that sluggish, sleepy
feeling so common among our New Eng
land people during the spring months.

covered, compounded, and has been tested
for years by leading physicians, and is
