mencement exercises OF the Kinsey Fe-
male Seminary closed last night with
magnificent concert. The exercises on
Wednesday and Thursday both day
and night, were marked by high de-
gree Of excellence, and reflected the
greatest credit upon oil. The essays
ond debates and elocution-all showed
thought and study and the most careful
training. The music, both vocal and
instrument. was excellent, and gave the
highest enjoyment. But the browning
glory of the whole brilliant scene of
splendid excellence was the admirable
address Of the gifted Frank Winston,
and his graceful introduction to the
audience by the charming and lovely
Miss Laura Bell. the highly talented
daughter of the popular and justly be-
loved rector of the Episcopal Church
in this place. His remarks were very
appropriate, and most delightfully."- de-
iivered. thus showing fine taste and
the most exquisite grace. Mr.. Win
ston's address was superb. His theme
was "Woman's Mission" and he
handled his subject with mastery abil-
1ty. All agree in pronouncing II a gem
OF rarest excellence and richest bril-
liancy. and 1t Will be an added Jewel IN
his alread respondent crown of litsr-
airy attachments. All in all II was one
OF the best and ablest ever heard in

Makes a Mighty Dirty Drink.

Robert j. Burdette, the humorist,
has woven the following sermon
around some statistics which came
into his possession:
"My homeless friend with q chro-
matte nose, while you are stirring up
the sugar in l0-cent glass of gin,
let me give you fact to wash down
with it. You may say you have
longed for years for the free and in
dependent life Of q farmer, but have
never been able to get together
enough money to buy farm; but
there is just where you are mistaken.
For some years you have been drink
ing a good, improved farm at the
rate OF hundred square feet gulp.
If you doubt this statement figure ii
out yourself. An acre of land con-
talns 43, $50 square feet. Estimating
for convenience, the land at $43.5 an
acre you will see that it brings the
land to just one mill per square foot
one cent for ten square feet. Now
pour down the fiery dose aud imagine
you are swallowing strawberry
patch. Call in five of your friends
and have them help you gulp down
that five hundred foot garden. Gel
on prolonged spree some day and
see how long it requires to swallow 8
pasture land to feed cows Put dOwr
the glass of gin; there is dirt in it
one hundred feet of good rich dir
worth $43 so per acre"

Serious Fire AVerted

People were startled Monday
afternoon by the ringing of the fire
bell about $50 O'Clock, quickly fol-
lowed almost before the fire was To-
Gated, by the report that the fire was
out.
Mr.. Il. B. Stevenson's home was
the scene of the fire and it came very
near being much more serious than
supposed. One of Mr.. Steveuson's
daughters first noticed the odor of
smoke and the family began search
ing. The smoke grew thicker and
still they could not discover whence
it came, aud the odor OF the burning
pile told that wood was burning
somewhere. 1t was about 5 o'clock
that smoke was seen issuing from a
slight crack in the plaster in the
stairway and q carpenter was sum-
moned and tore away the wall. AS
soon as an opening was made the
flames burst forth but were quickly
subdued. The house foundations
have been sinking for some time and
1t was found that the lowest brick OF
the chimney into which the furnace
leads had sunk with the foundation
and left crack through which the
flames caught the wood work 1t was
the very place for fire and had il
started at night several or perhaps al
the family would have suffocsted, al
they sleep upstairs. 1t was most
fortunate escape.
