FORMALLY OPENED.

The willard School u Splendid Building.
The formal opening of the new Will
lard school building on Greene street,
took plac, Friday under the most aus
picious circumstances. The forenoon
was given up to receptions to the
pupils in all the schools of the city and
the troops of little ones out to enjoy
the occasion were inspiring TO their
elders, who gazed upon the bright
happy faces and sent up prayer of
thanksgiving for the blessed American
institution of free schools.
The opening exercises proper began
at o'clock p IN with prayer by Rev.
Geo. r.. Gear, which was followed by
the presenta zion of beautiful Amer.
lean flag, by Rev. Mr.. Maple on behalf
of the Junior Order United American
Worlsmen.
The address of presentation was res
ponded to by w. II. Leeper, Presiden t
of the Board of Education, the exercises
closing with "The Star Spangled Ban
ner." The building was then thrown
open for the inspection of the general
public.
In the evening reception was ten
dered to the parents and friends of the
pupils of the school.
Willard School, named in honor of
the great temperance advocate, Frances
e. Willard, is in exterior one OF the
handsomest structures in the city.
Eighty by 100 feet in outside dimen-
sions, built OF B,rea stone AMI Zanes-
vile pressed brick, with tower 100
feet high and two magnificent arched
entrances, the building is model of
symmetry and beauty.
The interior is in keeping with the
exterior. In the basement are the
boilers, which supply heat for the
building, the Dickson system of dry
closets and two large play rooms for
the pupils. The entire basement has a
cement floor and is well lighted and
ventilated.
The eight main school rooms have
seating capacity of from so to 80 pupils
each and are equipped with slate black
boards, gas fixtures for lighting, new
desks for the teachers, electric signals
to the principals room and large and
convenient cloak rooms.
All the water that enters the build
ing is thoroughly filtered. The school
furniture has all been repaired and re-
vanished and in no wise detracts from
the general appearance of elegance
that prevades the building.
The general form of the building was
outlined by Prof. Boyd, the plans and
specifications being furnished by Archi-
tect Foreman. The Marietta Planning
Mill Co. built the structure, which for
many years will be a monument to
their integrity and ability.

CANCER OF THE TONGUE.
How 1t starts and How 1t Should Is,
Treatct.

How 1t starts and How 1t Should Be
Treated.
Malignancy in any part of the body
is very often a provoked malady, says
the Family Doctor. For instance. how
frequently malignant tumor of the
mamma is ascribed by the patient to
blow--sometimes, perhaps, errone-
the Family Doctor. For instance, how
correctly. Epithelioma in the upper
lip is very rare disease; in the lower
one it is very common. The structure
Of The two lips is identical; the pipe
of the smoker is equally in contact
with both; but the lower one is nova
BILE and is often bitten or otherwise
,narred by the teeth, which is rarely
the case with the upper. Thus long
continued irritation and slow infiam-
nation of certain parts-the tongue
being conspicuous example--may, in
a goodly proportion of instances, lay
the foundation or be the earlier steps OF
u very terrible disease. Grant this, and
it will be seen how essential it is to
watch such chronic glossitis very close
ly, to allay irritation, and more espe-
cially to avoid all irritating applica-
tions. Thus. if the patient smokes, if
he takes highly-spiced food. he should
be directed to discontinue or greatly
modify these habits; if he have rough
and bad teeth, the defects must be cor
rected. In treating assures, ulcers,
etc, nitrate of silver or sulphate of
copper must especially be avoided.
The mouth should be washed after
each meal; boracic acid or bismuth To-
tions may be used.

Pensions.

The only measures thus far proposed
in Congress- which are likely to be-
come laws, are amendments to the
General Pension Appropriation bill,
which recently passed the House. One
provides that during the fiscal year
1897, in expending this appropriation,
whenever claim for pension under the
Act of June 81, 1890, has been or shall
hereafter be rejected, suspended or
dismissed, because of any defect or in
formality in the application and a new
application shall hereafter be allowed
IN such claim, such pension shall date
from the time of fling the first appli-
cation, provided the evidence in the
case shall show the disability to have
existed or to exist at the time of fling
such first application, anything in the
law or ruling of the Department to the
Contrary Notwithstanding"
The other provides that during the
fiscal year 1897 in expending this appro
priation it shall not be necessary for a
widow, in establishing her claim to
pension, under the provisions of the
Act of June 27, 1890, to prove that she
is without other means of support than
her daily labor. Provided that before
she shall be entitled to pension under
the provisions of SAID law she shall
prove that her net income does not ex-
ceed $500 per annum."
Numerous other propositions have
taken the form of bills and have been
introduced, such as service pension"
per diem pension" bills, etc. These
come up at every Congress, are referred
to the appropriate committee and left
to die from neglect. We are not here
to say which is the best or which ought
to prevail, but simply give this infor-
nation for the benefit of those who
may be interested.

The National Assembly of the League
of American Wheelmen at Baltimore
this week, transacted some business
that will have an important effect on
bicycle racing this year Glass B, the
practically professional class mas.
querading as amateurs, has been abol-
ished and only two classes remain,
amateurs and professionals. This is
exactly as it should be. Sterling Eli
ott, editor of the L. A. w. Bulletin,
was elected President, and Louisville,
Ky, beat Toledo for the National
Meet by vote of 93 to 70. Of course
all loyal Ohioans are disappointed that
Toledo was not successful. The new
racing rules will soon be out and the
changes will be many necessarily on
account of the abolition of Class B.

MRS. MONROE'S DOCTRINE.


She Made New RUE for Women of the
Executive Mansion.
About the time that James Monroe
as president of the United States pro-
claimed the great doctrine which bears
his name in international uffairs, says
the Chicago Tribune, his wife, Eliza
kortright Monroe, took stand in So
cial affairs which has stood the test
of time quite as well as that of her
great husband. She absolutely refused
to return any social calls. Great was
the row it stirred up and the charges of
affecting royal manners and customs
and of being rude and all the rest
rained about Mrs. Monroe's head.
But it was of no avail. She stuck it
out, and each first lady of the land"
has followed her example since So
great, however, was the disturbance
over Mrs. Monroe's refusal to return
calls that John Quincy Adams consd-
cred it necessary TO draw up and
formally promulgate a formula of eti-
quette which has since regulated the
life Of the executive mansion.
After the revolution James Monroe,
then only 23 years old, went to New
York as delegate in congress from
Virginia. He was a handsome young
fellow, with political and military sue
cess upon him in a marked degree and
distinguished ancestry. There he
met the beautiful daughter of Law
renee Kortright, who was an impor-
tant figure in the social life of New
York of that day, and, falling in love,
they were uarriad

THE GLOBE ALMANAC.
An Up-tO-Dnte Hand, Book for the
Year 1896.

Those who think of an almanac as a
flimsy pamphlet given away by drug
stores in the interests of some patent
medicine, will be surprised and delight
ed when they inspect a copy of the new
Atlas-Aimanac and Cyclopedia, which
this paper has provided for the con-
Venience and information Of its readers
and their friends.
To start with, the book is the largest
ever produced in this country under the
auspices Of a newspaper; it contains
432 pages, and these are double the
size Of any other Almanac issued. But
it's distinctive feature. which places it
above and beyond all others, is found
in the fact that it contains 48 maps
printed in four colors and comprising
every state and territory besides
Canada and Central America. These
maps are new and have been en-
graved especially for the Atlas-Almanac
by the well-known atlas maker, George
F. Cram. They show all countries and
railroads, and are invaluable for refer
ence, practically taking the place of an
| tistical portion of the work treats of
| the National Government. State Gov
ernments. Politics, Election returns,
Agriculture, Manufactures, Mining,
Finance, Education, Religion, Law,
Sports, Society. the Home, besides a
large amount Of information regarding
| domestic and foreign affairs. Every
page of the book bears the work of ex-
pense and it has cost more to produce
it than any Year Book ever published
| in America, yet it will nevertheless be
| supplied to readers and their friends al
/ the nominal price of % cents per copy
| The maps alone are worth many times
| this amount. and the entire work will
| be found invaluable to every reader
who wants to be up with the times ir
| matters of general information. Price

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.
Report of Commission Submitted by
the President.

the President.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 7.-President Cleve-
land today sent to the house a report of the
commissioners appointed under act of con-
gress to make an investigation of the route
of the proposed Nicaragua canal The salient
features of the document have already been
published. The commission presents the fol-
lowing comparative grand recapitulation Of
estimates of cost for the whole canal; also
for certain incidentals:
Commissioners estimate, 1895, Tola basin
line, S66, 466, $50
Commissioners estimate, 1895, low-level
Boards estimate, 1895, low-level line, $133,-
Az, 500.
The commissions conclusion are that all
locks in the canal should have a width of SO
feet, United States steamers like the Iowa
have beam of Y feet, that all steamers af-
fecting the canal route should be gagged to
ascertain regimen and rainfall observations
made at points along the entire route. The
construction of the Eastern division on the
line proposed by the company is held to be
feasible but in view of the risks involved in
the maintenance of the numerous dams and
entertainments the final adoption of any route
is inexpedient until all alternative routes have
been Investigated. The cost of work, par
creased in consequence of the heavy rainfall
but from observations made its destructive eff
feet on completed work will be much less than
that of frost In the United States.
The volcanic and seismic forces are declin-
ing and will not imperil the stability of the
canal For obtaining the necessary data for
a final project, eighteen months time, COW
ering two dry seasons, and an expenditure
of $3.50 900 will be required.

The ball was given in Masonic Temple,

bordered with bunting and foliage.
Huge flags fioated from the ceiling, and

with flags, while palms and colored
shades for the lights served to dec

well filed with changing company to
view the charming scene on the floor.
The boys of Company 1 have just
cause to be proud of their success, and
