DIR THOMAS LECTURE.
In Interesting lecture on Cuba and Her
Conditions

In Interesting lecture On Cuba and Her
Conditions.
Last evening D.. C. n. Thomas, Of
Burlington, la delivered a very in
struetive and eloquent lecture on his
recent trip to Cuba at the Presby terian
church. lie spoke about his voyage
and visit to Havana, the grievances
that Cubans have against the mother
country, Spain: about the present war
and the people who lnhabit the island.
In speaking about the future II
Cuba he said: Cuba in time will be a
garden; yes, a paradise on earth. The
island is triile larger than Ohio, con-
tanning about thirty-live million acres.
All but four million acres are fit for
cultivation, yet in the past only two
million acres have been titled. The
resources there are simply unlimited.
II Cuba becomes free the IMMIGRATION
there viii be very great Thousands
OF Americans will 90 there and, | be-
lieve, will carry love OF liberty and
knowledge Of self government along
and in time will rule Cuba politically
as well as commercially"

marked attention by an appreciative
audience.

station In Chuish Cellar.

The futiity of endeavoriag to anti
cipate the progress of ages is well
shown in the case of the Church OF st.
Marie Woolnoth, situated in the heart
Of London. According to the terms OF
the original grant OF this tract of land,
Il was forever to remain the site OF
church. but as it 8 n the heart of
the city, and a particularly desirable
location for one of tAe stations OF the
Metropolitan reilway, It was decided.
while It was necessary not to disturb
the church, a station should be built
directly underneath II In the cellar. A
spacious vault has beels-> constructed
underneath the church for the accom-
mediation Of the railway tracks, the
ceiling being supported by steel arches
and massive iron pillars. Stairways
and elevators lead up on each side of
the church.

The indications are that the city
teachers institute to be held from
April II to Is inclusive in the High
school auditorium will be one of the
most successful in recent years.
Superintendent of Schools Howell Is
now at work making the arrangements.
He has engaged for lecturers some of
the best known in this part of the
country and Of national reputation and
has outlined systematic course of
discussion and instruction.
The fundamental object of the instl-
tute will be to emphasize a closer study
of language work. The instructors en-
gagged or in prospect are strong in that
particular line. Those already en-
gagged are Martin c. Brumbaugh, of
the University of Pennsylvania; Homer
3. Sprague, of the Drew Theological
seminary. Madison, n. j., and Miss
Harris. of Newark. There will be three
other lecturers of note.
Professor Brumbaugh is a recognized
authority In pedagogy. His lectures on
| literature and language work are con-
sidered among the best. Professor
Drew will treat of literature and biog-
raphy. He has a national reputation.
His books on the literature of Shakes
pedTe are TeCOSnlZSu as SlanudIu Cldss-
| les.
Miss Harris is to have exclusive
charge of the primary work. She has
had the benefit of fifteen years activ-
! ity i'm institutes and is a co-laborer OF
| Sarah Arnold, Sarah Brooks and other
distinguished authorities in primary
principles.
In connection with the regular insti-
tute it is intended to give complet,
grade exhibit not an uncGSlected eX-
hibition for display purposes only, but
a complete object lesson, modern
plan whereby parents, for instance, can
determine at a glance if their children
| are making an average progression.
The exhibit will show the devices and
methods for instruction and its result
from the Primary c grade to the High
school, but it will not be created simply
to please the eye. 1t is intended to
have the exhibit composed of work of
| average merit in all grades and not the
best results. An examination, for in
stance, of the papers of certain
! grammar would aid the parent to as
certain if a child in that particular
grade is up with the work required or
is insufficiently advanced or is too for
ward.
1t is hoped by Superintendent Howell
that he will have the programme ready
for publication by March 90.

TAXES FOR THE YEAR.
Amounts That Property owners May
ENpect to Paw.

This is the time of the year when
property owners are anxious to know
what tax rates will be. 1t Is also a
time of the year when the information
is most difficult to obtain, although a
good guess can he ventured that the
city rate will be less than for the year
now closing.
For 1897 the city tax levy was 1913
mills, the school levy ID mills, the coun-
ty levy mills, n total of 37S mills.
AS regards the city levy some calcu-
lation may he made on these facts: on
an assessed valuation of a little over
$50 O00, 900 in 1897 the rate was 1913 mills;
for 1898 the assessments amount to
about S23,000, 900 exclusive of appeals
which may be allowed by the board OF
revision and appeal. City officials be-
lievc the levy will he 5-l0 of a mill less
than last year or about 1913 mills. OF
last years levy 10 mills was a general
levy and 2.S mills a special levy for
bond redemption and interest.
1t is not probable that the school
levy of IA mills for 1897 will be de-
creased in 1898. The law provides that
the school levy shall not be more than
13 mills for general purposes and that
the levy for building purposes shall not
exceed that for general purposes. Thus
the school levy could be as high as 26
mills. The school levy was 10 mills in
1895. II mills in 1896 and II mills last
year. While the 1898 levy will prob
ably not show a decrease. the increase
| will not be large, at least such is not
indicated by the prospective expenses
unless it is decided to erect several
new school buildings.
Although the county assessment has
| been finished and appeals are being
| heard by the county commissioners, the
commissioners are holding to their past
| custom of not making the details OF
the assessment public until after the
| appeals have been adjusted. Consider
ing the absence of such special items
of expense in 1898 as existed last year
| it is not anticipated that the levy Of
| mills will be increased.
| The poor districts levy of mills
last year can hardly be expected to bt
| increased in 1898. In 1897 the poor boart
| went to great expense in improving
| Hillside Home and its surrounding
and to meet the expense the levy very
| closely approached the limit allowe,
| by law. Unless the board finds SOM
| unusual avenue for spending none!
this year the rate should show a sligh
| decrease.

KEENE AS LOUIS Xl.
Small Audience Saw the Historical
Drama at Lyccum Last Might.


1t is questionable if Thomas w.
Keene and his manager, Charles B.
HanfOrd, acted wisely in deciding to
produce Louis XI' in this city. Ger
tainly the scant audience that saw the
drama at the Lyceum last night would
give color to the theory that they did
not. Louis XI and Richard III are two
of the most iespiCable figures in the
long list of historical dramas and il
is not wonderful that the public does
not rush to see them portrayed even
when a more than ordinarily good ac-
tor like Mr.. Keene presents with con-
sumate tack and fincsse the many
phascG characters Of these hypocriti-
cal scoundrels.
Mr. Keene last night aroused his
small audience TO no little enthusiasm
by his vivid impersonation of Louis NJ
who quite as we'll deserved the title
of the royal butcher" as his English
counterpart. 1t was a most credtable
piece of work end will add not a little
to Mr.. Keene's already firmly estab-
lished reputation in this city.
Charles B. Hanford's Due de Ne
| rlours was worthy of Mr. Keene
| Louis, and the other leading roles were
| interpreted in an admirable manner
| by George Morton, John Milton, Law
renee Lowell Arthur Stanford, Pau
| c. Taylor Carl Ohrendt, Lucia Moore
and Mary Tim5erman.
