Mr.. James Clement Ambrose de-
livered his lecture on the ..Sham
Family" last Thursday evening to
fair sized audience. We have meet
but few who were not highly enter
tanned. The lecture contained much
that was well worth hearing and was
full Of truths that held much food for
thought. The speaker had the happy
faculty of mixing humor and logic in
such manner as to keep his audi
ence entertained while stimulating
their most serious thought in regard
to the suject under discussion. For
keen incisive wit he is equal TO any
lecturer we have ever heard. There
was a moral lesson to be drawn from
his remarks which if adopted, would
decrease the number of
members of the sham family. That
every one does not fully agree with a
public speaker is to be expected, and
we only hope the remaining numbers
on the course will be as satisfactory
as this one.
-Dodgevllle Chronicle: j. I. Boyle
editor of the Dodgeville Sun, is seri-
ously i'll at the Mercy Hospital in
Chicago, his illness being the result of
asphyXiation by coal gas at a hotel on
the cornor of State and 21st streets in
that city, last Saturday night. 1t
seems that Mr.. Boyle was occupying
the room of an attachee of the house
whose duties required him to be up
all night, and who had taken him to
his room in the evening. About one
o'clock Sunday morning, people in the
house smelled gas escaping and
search was made to discover the leak,
but no one though of it coming from
the room occupied by Mr.. Boyle, as
that room was supposed to be unoc-
cupied. He was consequently not
discovered until seven o'clock Sunday
morning, when the attachce in ques-
ton went to his room and found Mr..
Boyle there, unconscious, and the gas
jet open. Mr. Boyle was at once
taken to the hospital, where despite
all efforts of the best medical skill he
remained unconscious until Monday,
and at last reports was still in a criti-
cal condition. His many friends will
join us in hoping for his speedy re-
covery.
