Professor NJ. F. Enenbach closed
his school at the Oakfield Academy
last Friday. For several years Pro-
fessor Brinkerhoff has had charge
of the school and his work was rec
ognized by all as the best and most
superior of any graded school work
ever done in the county. When Pro-
fessor Enenbach was chosen to take
the place vacated every one ques-
toned the wisdom of the choice,
thinking no one could keep up the
standard of the work done in pre-
v1ous years. The people were for
tunate in securing Professor Enen-
bach as he has proved himself to be
a scholar, student and progress
i've instructor. He is a natural born
school man and has made no mis-
take in choosing the school room
as his field of labor.

A SOLDIER TURNED AWAY.
Crippled McGuire Refused admission
to Frcedmnn's Hospital.

The Tennessee members of Congress
have interested themselves in the case of
Michael Mcclure, a veteran OF the Cuban
campaign and express in no uncertain
language their Indignation over the treat
ment the soldier is alleged TO have re-
ceiyed at the hands of a local charitable
institution-the Freedman's Hospital.
Mcclure enlisted at Nashville and went
to Santiago with his regiment. During the
decentralization he was seriously injured
by falling down hatch. He was put un-
der emergency treatment for broken leg,
and later a hospital examination developed
the fact that the sufferers hip rad been
dislocated by the fall.
Mcclure was returned to this country.
and finally appeared at the Providence
Hospital this city where five physicians
pronounced him a hopeless cripple aud
recommended his discharge from the in
stitution.
Representative Gaines of Tennessee ap-
piled for a pension on behalf of Mcclure,
and then the Tennessee members contri-
buted to a purse for the unfortunate Vete-
ran. With a letter from Mr.. Gaines to
the superintendent of Freedman's Hospital,
Mcclure presented himself at that institu-
ton Wednesday night, but was denied ad
mission ii Is said, because, as the officials
explained, the home was open only TO vet
Grams of the Civil War.
Mcclure had exhausted his small funds
in providing himself with the necessities
of life, and when turned from the door of
Freedman's Home Wednesday he was COM
PEELED TO limp all the way into the city in
