sion of the general committee of the
Methodist Episcopal Church Extension
Society was devoted wholly to a con-
sderation of the amounts asked for

ferent in respect to helping the work
of the church extension.
Bishop McCabe of Fort Worth, Tex
as, deplored the assistance given by
the society to churches which cost
more than $4,000, No definite action
was taken.

An English inventor has contrived
an instrument which he calls the
"dromograph." intended to record the
time and photograph the finish of a
race, whether of horses, athletes or BIZ
cycles. When, at the start, the con-
testants break a cord an electric bell
rings and chronograph begins to re-
cord the time. The breaking of the
string at the finish stops the chrono-
graph and at the same instant exposes
a Photographic plate, on which the po-
sition of the contestants at the end of
the race is recorded.

tute a series of prosecutions against

Papinta With Hopkins Trans Oceanic Star
Specially Company.
Papinta is the stage name of hand
some and graceful girl, whois introduce
ing positive terpsichorean novelty.
Nothing that has been seen in New
York has pleased more or drawn greater
crowds to the Theuters where the per-
formances were given than has Papinta,
and her Mirror Dance. This young
woman is modest in her claims too.
She has seen Loie Ful!cr and admires
her immensely, but just the same she
thinks she has dance that is even
more attractive than LaLole's, but of
that the public will have 10 be the
judge. Papinta is of Spanish descent, a
native of San Francisco and perfected
her art abroad. She is niece of SEN
ato- Mitchell of Oregon, and cousin
of the noted Matte Mitchell who cre-
ated something of a social stir OF Europe
when she became the Duchess de la
Rochefoucauld. She is born dancer
and as child executed wonderful terp-
sichorean teats. The chef d'oeuvre of
this artist is her mirror dance, which
is the most bewildering and beautiful
illusion ever witnessed. AT the outset
the stage and auditorium are darkened,
calcium from either side flashes out
and the audience sees dozen skirt
dancers surrounding the one who is
standing in the centre Of the stage per-
fectly still. The one is Papinta, and
the dozen are reflections OF her, each
reflection shows her from a different
point OF view. The pianist begins a
familiar skirt dance air, Papinta bends
forward and each reflection follows her
movements, slowly and gracefully she
picks up her skirts and begins to move
in time with the music. The effect is
novel, there are Papintas all over the
stage, each moving in perfect time with
the music. AS the dancer whlrls and
rolls around her waves of skirts the
stage is filled with graceful lines.
Papinta dances we'll, and her hits are
increased dozen fold. This novelty
is to be given at the Peoples Theatre
all next week with Hopkins Trans
Oceanic Star Specially Company, and
will no doubt attract the attention of
all theatre goers.

report. The committee consisted of

their words of commendation carry

necessary, however, for this committee
to speak of what has long been appar-

has never been time when more care
has been taken or greater ability shown

related the escape of slave from a
"nigger chaser" who had hunted and
captured him in Perrysburg. The art
icle was headed IA Free Niger or n
Dead Hoss." The recent death of Ben
jamin Scott again calls to mind that
exciting event. Mr.. Scott was one of
the crew OF ship carpenters who came
up from the ship yards and crowded in
the Justices Office and prevented the
'nigger chaser" getting out of the
building in time to follow the poor
black man who was fleeing for his life

fellow workmen, made bar to the pro-
gress OF the enraged dealer in human
flesh, who sought to carry back into
bondage the poor unfortunate who was

The manufacture of beet sugar has
become very important subject OF dis
cussion In nearly every section of the
country, and Is one that will bear very
thorough investigation. 1t has been
stated by a Perrysburg gentleman who
is somewhat familiar with the manufuc-
ture of beet sugar as conducted in Ger
many that Perrysburg is an excellent
point for the location of such a plant.
He says there is excellent soil sur
rounding our village for raising the
beets, and that farmers would readily
engage in their cultivation if plant
were established here. Toledo and
Bowling Green capitalists are invest-
eating the matter, and there is no rea-
son why it would not be a good plan for
Perrysburg people TO see if something
cannot be done TO bring our town to the
front.
