Let There Be Light!

Rev. Mr., Sontag writes to the Cn.etFf as
follows:
MIR. EDIToR:-One of the literary so
cieties of an old historic college in Penn
sylvania, has for its motto, "Genestho
Phos"-let there be light.
/ This sacred and classic motto, often
suggests itself to my mind on some of the
dark evenings when occasion requires me
to pass through the streets of Marlboro
1t seems pity and shame, that Il town
as old as ours with so many historic re-
miniscences and occupying such promi-
nent position in the legal and social world,
to say nothing of its religious associations,
should be left every moonless night IN
almost total darkness Ozark as Egypt
"Stygian Darkness" are terms which
scarcely cxaggerate the case. Can't some
thing be done. Sometime ago, | believe,
steps were taken to provide lamps in front
of the stores and prominent residences.
For few weeks there were glimmerings
of light amid the cncircling gloom and
HlHNtSSH NSItui Wv
But by and by the lamps, save perhaps
two or three seemed to be regarded as
useless ornament to the town and passed
into ''innocuous desuetude," man seeming
to prefer darkness rather than light.
A good plan it seems to me, would be
for the town commissioners. who | am
sure, have the welfare of the town ana
its citizens at heart, to provide lamps,
with well protected globes and employ
some trusty person to attend to the light
ing and cXtin gushing of the same. The
expense would not be very great, while
the benefit to our town and community
raised by special taxation if necessary.
No loyal citizen would refuse to coLtri-
butte to such a fund
A town with its prominent streets,
stores and public places, as the Postotiice
for example, enveloped in darkness is
quite cherries spectacle and naturally
makes weird and ominous impression
upon the minds of strangers. Such a con
ullloH TcHucIS Is pcTilOuS ioI peucSti iaHS,
and also for vehicles, and the wonder is,
that not more injuries and accidents have
occurred. A night enshrowded town, can
never have the best reputation for mora
lily. Evil disposed persons usually take
advantage of the darkness. Wickedness
generally turks in the badly lighted streets
and alleys of city; whereas well light
cd town tends to foster responsibility,
virtue and sobriety. Now that we have
SO many evidences of Improvement archi
tecturally and otherwise, a new railroad
uniting us within twenty minutes to the |
national capital and the prospects are,
hat many of the city people will be
brought this way especially in summer
Why should we be content to leave the |
Did town and country seat in that condi-
ion which owls and bats love so we'll |
Let there be Light.

Let The Birds Beware.

1t is said the gun and ammunition sup
ply dealers in Maryland are buster than
they have been since 1882. The usual big
orders for loaded shells have been put in,
but the business has been mostly with
orders of from twenty five to two hundred
shells, given by sportsmen who were I'M
known to the dealers, or, if not unknown
it had been so long since they had given
orders that the dealers had forgotten
them
The same activity is noticed in the trade
in guns. Secondhand guns arc very
scarce, and dogs that will hunt and can
be bought are still scarcer. Gunners say
this is the best of evidence that game is
plentiful and that the sportsmen have
faith in the Game Protective Association 5
ability to perpetuate it and make shoot
ing enjoyable year after year.

WOMAN'S READING CLUB.
List Of Attractions for the Season of
l398-9.-A Superior Course.

List Of Attractions for the Season of
1898-9.-A Superior Course.
The following is the list of attrac-
tions which the Woman's Reading
club Of this city offers, during the
year, to the public, for their amuse-
ment and improvement:
The price of the tickets has been re-
duced from 81 to $3.50, for the course,
but this does not mean any reduction
of the standard of the course. If any,
thing, it is higher. In view of this
reduction, the Woman's club ask a
more liberal patronage on the part of
the general public.
Now for the list:
TO begin with: Thomas McClary,
the philosopher, wit, and humorist,
He comes with a long list of press
comments; but this one from Thomas
Mcmillan, Commandment of Minnesota
Soldiers Home, talks: 1.-THE boys are
still talking Of your lecture"
Next comes j. j. Lewis, Of Boston
Justly called by the Boston papers,
The Apostle of the Passion Play in
America" He il aided by j. Bean,
an expert operator of the stercopti
con, so that no one can possibly feel
the annoyance Of mediocre work.
The third one on the list is Miss Ida
Bentley. She is the American Story
Teller. The Queen, a London paper,
says, " She told American stories
with great feeling and dramatic
force.
The musical part of the list is rep
resented by The Cecilia Club, of Bos-
tom The Ottumwas, of Chicago: and
The Ariel Ladies Quartet, of Boston.
1t is almost needless to say that the
musical combinations all have n read
er or reciter. Both the musical and
the elocutiOnary parts are iirst-class
These kinds of entertainments have
always been very popular here, and
we are assured Jlldb bnOSc engaged Will
not be behind the popular ones in the
past. Page after page we could give
in the way Of press comments and per-
sonal letters, but it seems unneces-
sary. These clubs and quartcts adj
vcrtise themselves. The comments are
all the same way.
Dates and the order of their coming
will be announced later: but remem-
Der the course and the price, 81 80.

The Omaha ExpOsitiOn.

When the Worlds Fair at Chicago
ceased to exist, 1t was supposed that
we should meier look upon its like
again. However, the Trans Mississippi
Exposition at Omaha has effectively
reproduced in similarity all OF the
buildings which made the White City
so attractive in 1893.
1t does not take weeks to wander
through grounds and structures and
then be compelled to go away with
a tumble Of ideas, for the Omaha Elk
position people have profted by past
experience, and have so improved the
arrangement OF exhibits that no more
than two or three days OF time need be
consumed in admiration or inspection
OF the marvellous resources ofthe West,
collected together in the chief city of
Nebraska.
Even the new Midway, Is q repro
duction Of the far-famed Street Of All
Nations of 1893, with many improve
ments upon the original.
The electric lighting of buildings,
grounds and lagoon at night makes II
scene of enchanting beauty, alone
worth travelling u thousand miles to
see.
The means OF communicate be-
tween the city and the grounds arc
ample, and the distance to be traverscd
Is short.
The ways of reaching Omaha are in
Vulnerable. but chief among them is
the direct Chicago and Omaha short
line Of the Chicago, Milwaukee a. ST.
Paul Railway, with its archaeological,
vcstibuled trains. Dining car service
On route.
Excursion tickets are on sale at
every coupon ticket office IN the United
States over the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul Railway through Northern
Illinois and Central Iowa, or call on
the agent for further information.
