FRIDAY MORNING CLUB
President Edwards on "Economi

President Edwards on Economic
Results Of Extravaganza"
The usual large audience was present
at the Friday Morning club meetingyes-
terday when President Edwards of
Throop university gave talk on "The
Economic Results Of Extravaganza and
Luxury"
In a general way, with an agreeable
use Of anecdote and good-natured sar-
casm the speaker exposed the fimsiness
Of the arguments commonly advanced
to Justify the wastefulness and osten-
tation Of the rich.
With ready and spontaneous thought
and convincing earnestness, President
Edwards presented his views and sug-
gested that probably no one really be-
lieved that a rich man indulged himself
because he thought 1t helped trade. If
he were in presence Of an audience of
rich men who honestly wished to spend
their surplus incomes to that end, he
thought he could suggest several more
efficacious ways, as the building and
maintenance Of splendid libraries. the
endowing Of great universities and the
establishing and fostering Of new indus
tries of various kinds.

Barn of George w. Sutton Burned.

The large barn and outbuildings
on the farm of George w. Sutton
near Perryville, were totally de-
stroyed by fire Monday night,
together with contents of grain,
farming implements, etc. While
the fire was of unknown origin it is
generally thought at Perryville to
be the work of an incendiary. The
farm is owned by Mr.. Sutton and
is tenanted by Geo. M. Forwood, a
relative of Clerk of the Court For
wood of Hartford county. The
flames were first discovered by Mr..
Forwood about 3 o'clock, when he
was awakened by the unusual
whistling of a locomotive. He,
with his three sons, were the first
persons on the scene, followed
shortly after by a negro farm hand,
Mr.. Sutton and the neighbors. 1t
was impossible to save the animals
and they persisted in the flames.
Mr.. Forwood's loss Is severe, as he
carried no insurance on four horses,
two cows, farm machinery, five sets
of harness, fodder, etc. He esti
mates his loss at $500. Mr.. Sutton
owned the building which was fully
insured. His loss is in the neigh.
borhood, of $1,000. Tuesday
morning Mr.. Sutton came to Elktor
and swore out peace warrant
against Forwood alleging that he
had threatened him with bodily
injury. Deputy McAllister took

Apple Thieves.

Mr.. Thomas Patton had some
apples stolen from him Friday
night, and Mr.. John R. Bond some
apples also on the same night.
John w. Buckley of Rising Sun
had a box of bees stolen from his
garden about the same time. 1t
was a swarm that settled on a bush
in his yard last summer. He had
them in a small drygoods box and
the whole outfit was carried off.
Being a new colony there was white
honey in the hive which tempted
the thieves. Practical bee keepers
extract all the nice honey from the
combs in the late summer and feed
the bees rough honey and sugar
syrup for winter stores in the
dark combs, so there is little or no
honey in the hives fit for table use,
after the bees are prepared for
winter.

The holiday feature of the above
report is worthy of special notice.
The "holidays' of our public
schools consume large per cent of
the time supposed to be devoted to
education. The employees of the
public consume as much as pos
sible of the time in idleness. Their
pay while playing goes on without
any dockage. The banks too are
remarkably patriotic and pious in
observing holy days and holidays,
but the interest never takes any
holiday, nor even remembers the
Sabbath day to keep it holy" If
interest had to keep holiday the
banks would always be open. Pri-
vate persons who have their own
individual exertions alone to de-
pend upon for livelihood don't
keep so many holidays.
In the matter of school holidays,
the tune has changed slightly. The
School Board has recently arranged
to reckon the teachers salary by
the day. The teachers are no
longer classed among the "profes-
sors;" they are now common ebay
laborers," and "kick" when forced
to have so many days deducted from
their time. They used to delight
in it. The more holidays the mer-
rier. That was when the public
paid the fiddler. Now the pay of
the piper means lost day to the
teacher, hence he or she kicketh.
But how about the children whose
time is wasting? Their school age
takes no holidays but runs steadily
on, but when one of these rapidly
multiplying holidays falls on Thurs
day, four straight holidays are
awarded them to enable them to
forget whatever they may have
learned the three previous days.
When subscription or private
schools were the order of the time
the teachers did not indulge in
many holidays. We don't propose
to suggest any reforms or changes
for the abuse; only to- "shoot folly
as it flies"
