Delightful Affair.

The entertainment given at the Gle
giant home of Mr., and Mrs H. Glider
sleeve last Tuesday evening by the la
dies of the Public Library, was a pleas
ant and profitable affair. The evening
was allthat could be desired and a large
number of persons took advantage of
the delightful weather to attend what
they had reason to believe would be a
pleasant occasion. That they were
satisfied goes without saying. The
chief entertainment of the evening was
a guessing contest. A number of arti-
Giles were placed in the room that repre-
Sented musical terms, and the person
correctly inter- r4ting most of them re-
ceived a prize. A flat iron that was
supposed to represent "B fiat" gave
the party most trouble. The married
men held a consultation and united on
b ware; the young ladies put it down
as a warning to "B sharp and never
use them, and the married ladies
thought it represented ga Hot Time in
the Old Town" There was a dollar bill
representing a "whole note" that gave
James Crumley the most trouble to in
terpret. He could not even recognize
the article. There were several articles
of this nature and the guesses were
both interesting and comical.
Dainty refreshments were served by
the ladies and thus the evening passed
pleasantly to those present and p%rofita-
bly, for the Public Library.

Getting Ready.

1t is very evident that the Embre-
vile Furnace Company is getting ready
to start the furnace at this place. While
work has not actually been begun to
complete the structure, other deals have
been consumated that tend to show
how the wind blows. During last
week the Company bought the half in
terest of G. G. Harris in a number of
houses known as "Red Row" near the
furnace. These houses were built sew
eral years ago by Harris & Hargreaves
to be used by furnace employees and are
suitable for no other purpose, on ac-
count of their location. The indica-
tions are that work will be commenced
in earnest upon the plant in q few
weeks.

THERE seems to be too many great
men, or men who think themselves
great, among the Republicans in Ohio,
and the petty jealousies that have
sprung up among them threatens to
wreck the party in the state. Just
now determined fight is being waged
by number of small-fry, jealous poll
ticians, against the return of Marcus
Hanna to the L. S. Senate. That
Marcus Hanna is the choice Of the
people counts for ncught with these
politicians. This disgracefulsenator-
ial fight is another argument in favor
of electing L. S. senators by direct
vote of the people. AS the average
legislature is made up there are al
ways some members who will allow
themselves to be influenced by unfair
means, and there will always be
scheming politicians ready to enlist
their services. The people can better
be trusted to make wise choice than
the average legislature.

The movement in the far East is
one OF the most significant OF the
times, and may result in the over
throw OF the Chinese empire with It's
ancient civilization, which ante-dates
even that of Greece and Rome, long
since passed into decay. Russia has
for years sought to ingra tia tie herself
with China, and under pretension Of
friendship has succeeded in getting
one valuable concession after anoth-
er. England, whose commercial in
terests in the East are very great, is
watching the encroachments OF the
Russian bear, and far-seeing men be-
lieve that a contest for supremacy
between the two, England and Rus
STA, Anglo-SaXon and Slav, is I'M
avoidable. Germany, whose young
emperor is dreaming Of world domin-
ion for the German race is also
taking a hand with view of advanc-
ing the interests of Germany. France
has it's eye on slice of the celestial
empire. A clash may occur over the
division at any time, that will close
the nineteenth century in stream of
blood We hope not. Better let the
Chinese people work out their own
destiny.
