the Norwegian steamer Banan, which
came from Port Antonio, Jamaica, in
the teeth of the gale recently, cannibal-
ism, a three months flight through
swamp and woman who shipped be-
fore the mast as a sailor to escape an
awful fate are incidents.
While in Jamaica, preparatory to
starting on her homeward voyage, the
Banan was short of men and shipped
an American sailor, at least ore who
had papers certifying to his citizenship.
He told Captain Monsen that he only
desired TO remain with the vessel until
she reached Philadelphia, and nothing
more was thought of the matter
It was from the fact, however, that

debate on the Transvaal war, with Mrs.
Alice Stevens leading for the English
and Mrs. Dan Yancy for the Beers, ex-
cited unsual interest. The ladies show
ed by the creditable manner in which
they handled the subject that they had
given it much time and thought. A re-
view of Helen Hunt Jackson's "Ra-

given in her usual interesting manner.

1t was very delightful afternoon
that the Homer club and some of their
friends spent at the hospitable home of
Mrs. Sheer last Monday.
MRS. Speer, Mrs. Buzzo and Miss Fos-
ter had charge of the afternoons pro-
gramme, which proved to be an inter-
esting variation from the clubs regu-
lar course of study for their year.
German history and literature were
laid aside and the subject of "Cera-
mics" explained by papers and talks,
and illustrated by the most beautifui
pied the afternoon. Mrs. speer opened
the programme by relating the legend
from which the word ceramics derives
its origin.
Mrs, Buzzo then gave description
of the Wedgwood ware and a sketch
of the life OF Josiah Wedgwood. She
illustrated her talk by specimens of the
with surprise that all Wedgwood does
not have the carved figures.
Mrs Weirick followed with a descrip-
ton of the Doulton ware and the va
rious industries in which Sir Henry
Doulton is interested.
Mrs. Shaw came next and talked of
the genuine old Satsuma and its various
limitations, and Mrs. Welcome explain
ed the meaning of the word Cloisonne
and told the history and process of
making this much admired Japanese
ware. She showed six plates which IL

from the first stage to its last. Mrs.
Moore told many interesting things
concerning the Cauldon ware, and Mrs.
Speer the Royal Dresden and Royal
Vienna. Mrs. Hight took for her theme
the popular lockwood, and Miss Foster
the Royal Bonn. In addition there were
many pieces of Sevres, Coalport, Royal

valuable for their antiquity, as we'll as

Manila and japan.

HEATING PLANT
AT INFIRMARY
Not In a Satisfactory Way and
the Board Acts.
PLUMBERS WILL GET PLANS
Aud VIII Then BE Asked to Bid On the
Work of Putting In a New System
That Will Give Better
Service

The infrmary directors held a meet
ing in their room in the court house,
Tuesday morning. The meeting was
called for the purpose of considering
needed improvements in the heating
apparatus of the infirmary main build
ing and the building for the insane.
Two different systems of heating are
used in the buildings with the result
that in winter very high temperature
is obtained in the asylum while the in
mates OF the main building suffer from
cold. To remedy these defects the
board proposes to cause radical
changes to be made in the heating
systems.
Prosecutor Pomerene was at the
meeting and in response to inquiries
from members of the board stated
that as the amount to be
expended for the Improvement would
not reach 81 900, the board had the au-
thority to proceed with the work with
out advertising for bids. The direct
ors decided to have plans drawn and
they will then be submitted to the
plumbers of the city and bids asked
for. The work Is to be completed be-
fore fall.
The resignation of DR.. Lichty, oi
Lexington township, was received and
accepted. The vacancy will be filed
at later meeting.

Cincinnati, Aug. S.-A Toledo spe-
cial to the Enquirer says.
Mayor j. A. Rice, of Canton, was in
the city last week, looking after his
candidacy for governor. Previous to
coming to Toledo Mr.. Rice visited
about dozen counties in northwestern
Ohio. He said that if the northwest
united on a candidate that man would
be the nominee of the GAINESVILLE con-
vention. Continuing, Mr.. Rice said:
81 am quite satisfied with the outlook
thus far. have received my full quota
OF the delegates now chosen. do not
care to say anything about the strength
OF other candidates. No one knows the
effect of Jones's candidacy as an inde-
pendent man in the field. 1t is all con-
lecture to talk of his vote and would
not hazard guess as to which party
would lose the most by his candidacy.
AS to the issues of the campaign, it
seems to me the battle will be fought
on higher plane than was ever known
before. The Democratic party, will take
a position against trusts and imperial
ism, will reaffirm the Chicago platform
and demand the nomination of Bryan
in 1900. While the Democratic party
will not recede an inch from the Chica-
go platform, the newer questions will
naturally take precedence in the fight.
1t will be red hot fight from the firing
OF the first gun. Both parties think
the contest an imp0rtant one and ex.
pect to see the campaign conducted on
high plane, with the elimination of
all smut and personality upon the mer-
It's OF the questions before the people.

hearth to the finest palace, and L

nation OF AL ger on the fight to be made
