Death of Sebastian Thomas.

Sebastian Thomas, superintendent of
the Ashland schools, of whose illness we
made mention last week, died on the
18th inst. aged As years. As an educa-
tor, Mr.. Thomas stood high in the ranks
of Ohio teachers. For several years pre-
vious to 1886 he was superintendent of
the Lodi schools. He resigned from our
schools to go to the Ashland schools. As
4 former tutor of ours we ever knew him
to be kind and loYable teacher. In
Ashland he had the fullest confidence of
her people and was held in the highest
of regard. Supt. Hoover and wife, Mrs.
Arnold, and Mrs. Elmer attended the
funeral. Medina Gazette.

Four Minutes
OF Your Time,

While we tell you about our "Gol-
den Fleece" tea. The tea you drink
should be
1. Pure.
2. Wholesome.
8. Pleasant.
4. Economical,
and "Golden Fleece" justly claims pre-
eminence on these grounds.
The manipulation of tea is an art in
which the Chinaman excels, and in
many of the inferior kinds the quality
is infinitely deteriorated thus:
'"The dust of the leaf is mixed with
clay and manipulated into the form OF
the orninary leaf" This with the ap-
propiate term ''lie" tea.
"Tea leaves which have already
been used are again manipulated ard
rolled into shape and. sold as genuine
tea."
In buying and drinking "Golden
Fleece" tea you get perfection being
the result of civilized labor and intel
ligence.
Golden fleece" is undoubtly the
best SOC tea in the market today. Are
you usingit? If not, try it the first
opportunity.
"Golden Fleece" is making, friends
wherever it goes, and it is going into
new homes every day.
"Golden Fleece" will take the place
of any Japan tea you ever drank, no
matter what the price you have been
paying,
Golden Fleece" once tried, always
used
We shall be glad to give you sample
of Golden Fleece" feeling sure that
if you try it you will use no other. We
want this name "Golden Fleece" to
run in your mind from now until you
want tea again. so you will ask for
Golden Fleece" Think of it when
you are sleeping tea, think of it when
you are pouring tea, think of it when
drinking tea, think of it when you
start to buy more tea, keep thinking
about it until you reach Bowlby &
Halls store, where you will find Gold.

suit to the intelligence Of the young
people, and have perniciOus influence.
Instead of being healthy books they are
decidedly unhealthy in tone and teach
ing. Surely we are cultivating a dan
gerOus taste for reading in the young
when we feed them on such rubbish"
Mir. Box unhesitatingly lays part Of
the blame upon the publication boards
and the societies, which are influenced
by denOminatiOnal spirit that narrows
their choice of books, then, again, it is
shown that the most mediocre sort of
"taIent" is employed to write these
books and that beggarly prices-less than
$50 per bUok-are paid. A share Of re-
sponsibility, Mr.. Box asserts, rests upon
the men who purchase Sunday-schOOl
libraries, who, as is most frequently
the case, are not qualified for the task,
and whose object is to secure library
as cheap as possible. MIR. Box warmly
urges that the selection of Sunday school
books be left to women, who "iDstinc-
lively know and feel the kind of book
which a boy or girl will read and ell
JOY" He insists that women should be
given carte blanche to make the select
ions so far as the prescribed amount of
money will go. "A hundred good books"
Mr.. Box concludes, ARE far better than
five hundred books of indifferent inter
est" which are bought simply because
they are cheap. "a Sunday school Ii
brary cannot be created i'll a day, and no
discOuragement should be felt if the ii
nancial means of the church are con-
tracted and necessitiate the purchase
of only few books at time"

The Board of Directors Of the Central

its report to the Stockholders and the
following items are taken from the re-
port as it appears in the March number
of the electric engineering:

Were Sl,321,9 ,95l with a net revenue after
interest and operating expenses are paid
of $237, ,O99. On Ii capitalization Of
$500, 800 the net revenue is 3.6 per cent
The percentage Of operating expenses to
income was 7l.5 per cent i'll 1894, 1876 Ill
1895, and 80. IA in 1896.
lhere has been expended i'll new con-
structiOn, approximately, $7OO,OOO Of
which $425, 600 has been expended at
exchanges and $1,000 on metallic toll
lines. rhe total number of miles OF toll
lines now in operation is 1900, OF which
two thirds are copper metallic clrcillt
of the most modern type. these tacll-
tiles, III connection with the lines Of the
Long Distance Company, afford means OF
communication between these cities anU
larger towns in almost all the country i'll
belween the Mississippi and the sea

ateA by this Company is l32 having a

for success. In the construction WOlk
done, it is the aim To build substantially
so as tJ reduce the cost 0f malnlalnance
to minimum. This Is Il fact or that Is
aften overlooked by most Of the COmpet-
ing companies. The cost of building
tOli lines ranges from $l67 to 1926 per
mile, while many of the opposition toll
lines built i'll the last three years range
III cost from $50 To $75 per mile. This
portion generally holds good in all con-
struction work done by each.

QUESTIONS FOR YOUNG MEN.
FROM HARPER'S ROUND TABLE.

II is an old saying among school olboys
and college men that the fellow who keeps
his mouth shut is always the big man;
that he who deliberately says little
quickly wins for himself the name for
wisdom. Such statements are quite as
true IN the outer world to a certain
degree as they are in college and school,.
The plth of the matter Is that If in any
way you arrive at a position OF any I'M
pOrtance, the less you talk to every one
the more credit you receive for care, for
thoughtfulness, for sound, well cOnsid-
cred opinions. Here is nothing which
urges boy to have no opinions or to
never express them; and Ill fact this
"wise silence" at school and at college
as often, perhaps covers up an empty
mind as it does the wisdom OF Solomon.
There is, however, a good rule to follow,
which may be given briefly, to the eff
feet that it is well to say little until you
have thoroughly made up your mind,
and then not to hesitate in your state
ments. The temptation n The average
man is to express some opinion at once,
but if that is changed later, the full
force of the final opinion is lost.
Let others do the wrangling. YOul
opinion will have all the more influence
il you come out good and strong with il
at the close of the discussion, when moi
only are the Others considerably il
doubt as to what they do want, but you
have also had the advantage of hearing
many sides Of the case.
That is to say, that in your daily be
hayiOr towards the others in the schOo
it is well to keep your talk" in reserve
1t is a habit easily acquired, and on
that in the end works both ways. IT add
both to the value of your advice, becaus
the advice is better considered, and
gives the advice an added value so far a
others are concerned, because when yO
only say a little, that little has the NOR
consideration.

LABOR'S CONVENTION AT GIN
CiNNATi.

The labor organizations Of this country
have not yet passed out of their forma-
tive stage. Consequently thedeliberatiOns
of their conventions, are Of great impor-
tance as showing the direction in which
the labor movement is tended. If the
federation at the sixteenth annual CON
ventiOn, which assembled in Cincinnati
recently, continues to follow the lead Of
President GOmpers it is evident that the
development will be along lines akin to
those worked out in Great Britain, where
the labor movement is considerably older
than in this country.
Presidents GOmpers' report and the rec
concentrations he makes show well the
trend of the federation and the policy
that is being developed. Trades un-
iOns," said Mr.. GOmpers in his report
delivered recently, ''are the business or
ganizatiOns Of the wage earners." While
I progressive trades unions must neces-
sarily be sentimental and theoretical,
b they must, he declares, sink for a time
other considerations in order that the
best interests Of the wage earners may be
advanced, even if but a little
The opponents Oi the policy outlined by
iii. Gompers are the most extreme so
cialists, who would make labor unions
organizations for propaganda and pOliti
cal actions for the realization of the so
cialist's ideal. The extreme socialists il
the federation were decisively defeated {
year ago, and it is hardly probable tina
they can succeed now in reversing tn
policy already entered in this respect
Mr.. Gompers defends the strike as
necessary weapon in the struggle for
larger share of the product of industr
and asserts that its effectiveness is in
creasing. He depreciates the necessit

THE GlFTOF APPRECIATION.

There is, perhaps, no other natural gift
that brings 50 much genuine pleasure to
its pOssessor as does the keen sense Of
appreciation. 1t teaches us, or points
out to our understanding, the beauties Of
nature that are all about us, gilds the
commonplace, and emphasizes the joys
of life and of living. Appealing to us
through all our senses, the pleasures
that it brings are ceasless and unfailing.

attractive side to everything, and this

thorough organization on the part Of
labor, he thinks, will be one Of the most
effective means Of securing industrial
peace, conclusion for which warrant
can be found in a study Of the develop
ment of trades unions. Mr.. GOmpers re-
fers apprOvingly to the growing dispOsis
tiOn among nations to settle their dis
putes by other means than a resort to
arms, and he believes similar forces are
leading In che same direction in the in

q. Bad cooking has driven thousands of
men to drink" says Frances E. Willard.
Now why do the w. c. 7. U. women not
try to teach the young ladies how to cook
as well as to be temperate, and thus it
them for something really useful? The
culinary art should be acquired by every
woman and she who has mastered 1t can
feel she is equipped with one of the most
useful accomplishments. 1t is as neces-
sary that woman should be good cook
as an eloquent temperance lecturer. How
many of the women who go aboutpreach-
ing temperance are competent to prepare
a frst-class meal? II they were little
more practical and taught trifie more
of the useful occupations there would be-
more genuine results from their effort.

The Shakers have made a great hit.
Their Digestive Cordial is said to be
the most successful remedy for stom-
ach troubles ever introduced. 1t inn
mediately relieves all pain and dis
tress after eating, builds up the feeble
system and makes the weak strong.
The fact is, foods properly digested
are better than so-called tonics. The
Cordial mot only contains foods already
digested, but is digester for other
foods. Food that is not digested does
more harm than good. People who
use the Cordial insure the digestion Of
what food they eat and in this way
get the benefit of it and grow strong.

kers have sent druggists for free dis

FATAL ACCIDENT. :
(Hillsboro Observer

Friday afternoon, April 10th, freight
train coming to Hillsboro from Univer-
sity Station, three miles east of Hills
boro, struck the infant son of Gillian
Riley, aged two years, and INFLICTED
injuries upon the little fellow from which
he died Monday morning. The parents
live near the railroad and it seems the
child had strayed away from home and
must have been on the side of the track
when the engine struck him. His jaw
bone was broken and he was cut on the
head. The train was stopped and the
conductor took the child and brought
it to town. DIR. Jones, who attended
the child, told the Observer reporter that
he thought the child died from internal
injuries. This is a case of gross negli-
gence on the part of the parents, as
everybody knows they spend most of the
time away from home, and their poor
little children are liable to lose their lives
in more ways than by railroad trains.
OF course suit for damages is likely to
follow.
