Public School Swimming Baths.

1t gives a sparkle and an exhilaration
of mind simply to read of the public
school swimming baths which have
proved so successful in London. They
are not yet organized for all the board
schools, but the ones that have been put
in operation were attended last year by
1900 pupils-10, 900 boys, 3, 900 girls.
From the fact that the boys predominant
so largely some ungallant Englishman
argues i'll London paper that men are
more clearly than women, since they
battle more frequently.
The effect of these great swimming
baths on the poor children Of London, for
whom they were established, has been
wonderfully salutary, both from the
moral and the sanitary point of view.
Competent instructors teach the young
ones swimming, and prize exhibitions of
skill among the pupils are given each
year. In one of the exhibitions there
was life saving competition in which
boys went through the process Of rescu-
ing comrade who was apparently
drowning and then Of resuscitating him
after he was supposed to be unconscious.
Girls swan with japanese parasols or
fans in their hands to show how at
home in the water they were.
The expenses Of maintaining the baths
are paid in part by the school boards,
but in part also by the teachers them
selves, with disinterestedness especial
ly noble in view of the small wages re-
ceived by teachers in Great Britain.
Why do we not have similar swim
ming baths connected with public
schools in America?

Judge Hutchins,

In its account OF the observance OF
Decoration Day at that place, the Mt.
Olivet Advance pays the following com.
pliment to one OF Mason County's prom.
inent officials: Judge Hutchins was
next introduced. His magnificent ad-
dless, although delivered from manu-.
script, could have hardly been improved,
both as to its contents and delivery, and
received the most respectful attention
throughout. We regret exceedingly that
our limited space forbids us giving our
readers a synopsis, at least, Of his mastery

JOY AND SORROW.
A Happy Marriage Followed a Few
Hours Later by the Death of
the Brides Mother.
Winchester Democrat

lhlHSheStSI DeInOCldl'I
In the midst of life we are in death
Along the pathway of existence the era
die and the coffin jostle each other and
the shadow of the tomb falls athwart the
pathway to the bridal altar. A sad ex.
emplification of the latter fact occurred
at the home OF John Golf, OF Indian
Fields, Wednesday.
On this occasion, Edgewood," his
handsome country home, was the scene
OF a beautiful wedding. Owing to the
illness of Mrs. Golf the festivities were
OF very quiet nature. However, long
before the appointed hour, the spacious
rooms were filed with the near relatives
who had come to witness the marriage
of the youngest daughter of the house
hold, Miss Patsy, to Mr.. John r. Down
ing, of Mason County.
The parlors were brilliantly lighted
and decorated, and the dining room,
where an elegant luncheon was served,
presented fairy-like appearance.
AT II o'clock the bridal party entered
the parlors. First came Rev. Mr.. Nc
Garvey, OF Lexington, who performed
the ceremony; he was followed by
Misses Allie and Anna Golf, cousin and
niece OF the bride. Then came the bride
attended by her sister, Miss Margaret
Golf, and the groom with his attendant,
Mr.. Edward Gault, of Mason County.
The bride was gowned in dainty Gre
alton of Paris null, and Valenciennes
lace and carried Bride roses. The maids
also wore Paris null and carried pink
Mermets. The bridal party gracefully
grouped, with a fern-draped window as a
background, made beautiful tableaux.
After luncheon, the happy couple
drove to this city where Mr.. and Mrs.
Downing took the 8 o'clock train for
Maysville.
The groom is a cultured gentleman
and one of Mason County's most popu-
lar and prosperous farmers. Clark is
losing one OF her most lovable daughters,
but her loss is Mason's gain.
Mrs. Patsy Golf, the mother of the
bride, had been ill for some time, but
was thought to be better, but that even
ing she grew worse and about dark she
died.
The sympathy of host of friends 90
out to the stricken family in this sorrow
full ending of day OF joy.

Dearth OK American Authors.

Within the past few months four pop
have die6. We have not so many really
gifted authors in this country at present,
and the loss Of those who left us is pro-
foundly felt. One was the gentle, sunny
hearted Bill Nye, a humorist Of high
rank. Another was Eugene Field, both
poet and humorist. A third is Henry
Cuyler Bunner, Puck's lamented editor,
known to his intimates as Hal Bun
ner. " Another name might be added,
that Of H. II. Boyesen, to all intents and
purposes an American, though born in
Norway. Three of these were humorists,
more or less. 1t has been charged that
Americans have little sense of humor,
but the fact is that i'll their own way
they have keener sense of humor than
other nations. Some Of our most popu-
lar authors have been humorists, from
Davy Crockett down to NJ. Quad, Nye
and Mark Twain.
The death Of the men named natural
ly gives rise to the question who VIII
take their places. These four have left a
wide gap in American contemporary
literature. II there are any coming on
who will fill their places or make equal
ly good places for themselves, it is not
yet plain. We have two or three novel
lists of the second rank, three or four Of
the third, and certainly one historian Of
the first rank, and one or two fair play
wrights we have still fortunately Mark
Twain, ours and the worlds humorist,
though he has too serious business on
hand for much humor just now. But
where are the new authors?

he had had his own way. Weyler would
probably have butchered half the in
habitants of fair Cuba by this time.
Humanity and civilization may be
thankful that the simple, outspoken
moral sentiment Of private citizens of
the United States has had such a re-
straining effect ON the conduct Of the
Cuban war. The same thing happened
once before, in 1872, when Grant was
president. except that then this senti-
ment took the shape Of government
remonstrance.

was inclined to be liberal and to intro

The result was this stirred up the en-

their own doom in the advance of Euro

up the fanatical zeal Of some religious
