CORNER STONE LAID IN JULY

The new Mercy Home was formally
opened yesterday morning, the opening ex-
ercises being held in the Francis e. Will
lard Memorial room. The home was
thronged throughout the day with visitors
and the occasion was a memorable one,
the dedication services being beautiful and
appropriate.
The pastors of many of the city churches
were present and assisted in the dedication
services. Mrs. C. B. Spencer, president of
the board of managers of the Mercy Home,
told the story of the past years, and gave
the details of the inception and completion
of the plans. She spoke of the co-opera-
ton of the Creche and of the women In
the different churches, happily closing her
remarks by speaking of the permanent
home which was now established.
At Cost of $4,000
The Mercy Home has been erected at a
cost of $4,000. 1t is located at Twelfth
avenue and Twenty-second street, north.
1t is built of stone and brick and the in
terror is furnished in natural pine. The
structure is three stories high, and pre-
sents an imposing appearance. broad
stairway leads to the apartments above
The apartments include a nursery per-
fectly arranged, and the dormitories are
completely and elegantly furnished. The
laundry and the kitchens are perfectly APP
pointed, and the entire building is not only
a monument to the work of noble women,
but is the result of practical plans formu-
lated by them for a permanent home that
would be triumph of modern comfort and
appliances.
Corner Stone Laid Last July
The corner stone of the new Hercy Home
was laid in July last, and the completion
of the building and it's dedication yesterday
brought a peace, like that of the calm
April skies of yesterday, to the hearts of
those women whose energy has been UNI
tagging through the months of waiting
for the contamination of their desires.
The Mercy Home, as its name implies, is
a charitable institution for women and
children.
The board of managers is as follows:
Mrs. c. B. Spencer, president; Mrs. II. A.
Hamilton, first vice-president; Mrs. John
White, second vice-president Mrs. G. L.
Thomas, secretary; Mrs. w. II. Jeffries,
Wheeler, Mrs. James Johnston, Mrs F. l..

1.-THE PLAYS
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Gilmore & Leonard's latest comedy, "Ho-
gan's Alley" is a funny conglomeration of
humor judiciously intermingled with pref
ty dances, catchy songs and original music.
1t proves conclusively that the author has
struck the popular fancy, and seems to
know what the people want. The attrac-
ton will be at O'Brien's this afternoon and
tonight. Tiddlewinks and Dugan, the clev-
er little singing and dancing juvenile won
ders, have out little difficulty in keeping
their audience in constant roars of laugh
ter. Their labors in this direction are
somewhat facilitated by the clever work OF
the other who has furnished many anus
ing and ludicrous complications in "E4o-
gan's Alley"

THE BACCALAUREATE.

The capacity of the Lutheran church
was unequal to the crowd that wanted
to get into it, Sunday evening, to hear
the haccalaureate sermon of Rev. G. R.
Sargent to the High School class of
1899. Rev. Mr.. Morrison, Rev.
Mr.. Campbell, Rev. Mr.. Davies
and Rev. Mr.. Thompson assist
ed in the devotional exercises, the choir
and Mrs. Jennie Cushman with anthems
and solos, furnishing excellent music.
The theme of Mr.. Sargent was the
necessity for preparedness for the bat
tie of life-the futility of partial pre-
paration, the success that crowns
thoroughness, and the part that parents,
the school and youth must each take in
this preparation for successful work in
any field of life. The address was a
fine effort, full of good thought, beauti-
full and eloquent. 1t would be a grand
desideratum if all the youth of ou1
land could be imbued with the fine
thought and lofty aspirations of the ad-
dress. The true life-the life that is
given to the right and to the good, and
that is worthy all the preparation of the
home and the school and the students
is after all, the only life that should be
sought, and is worthy every ones am
bition.

SABBATH DISSERTATION.

The Presbyterian General Assembly
in session at Minneapolis adopted
strong resolutions, last Friday, on the
Sabbath question. The resolutions
were discussed for the greater part OF
the afternoon. The report introducing
the resolutions, says:
1.-THE American Christian Sabbath
is in imminent peril, in fact, in many of
our large cities and in other parts of
our land it Is already nearly lost. This
means that American liberty and
American institutions are in peril, for
of these the American Sabbath has
been both the foundation and the
protection"
AS adopted the amendments depre-
cate the secularizing of the Sabbath,
urge members and young people OF the
church to realize the Importance OF
Sabbath observance, legislatures and
Congress are urged to protect the
American Sabbath; the American
Sabbath Union and the Woman's
National Sabbath Alliance are com
mended; every pastor is recommended
to preach on Sabbath observance or
some Sabbath of next October, anG
take a collection for the Sabbath
Union; the board of publication is re
quested to prepare, and Sabbath
School superintendants to use specific
Sabbath observance leaflet; sympath.
is expressed with the 5000, 600 Ameri
cans, who because of Sabbath desc
Grafton, are compelled to do seculal
work on the Sabbath; President Nc
Kinley's attention is respectfully calle'
to the fact that employers of the post
Office and many other departments Q
the government are compelled to worl
on Sunday.

AN IMPORTANT CHARGE.

In Indiana, the children OF a man who
had been taken from Jail and lynched
by mob, sued the Sheriff for permit
ting the lynching. Judge Baker, of the
u. S. Court, before whom the case was
tried, held in his charge to the jury as
follows:
If the law imposes duty of care in
respect to animals and goods which he
has taken into his possession by virtue
of his Office, why should not the law i'm
pose the duty of care upon him in re-
spect to human beings who are in his
custody by virtue of his Office? Is q
helpless prisoner, in the custody of the
sheriff, less entitled to his care than a
bale of goods or dumb beast? The
law is not subject to any such reproach.

PLAN AGREED UPON BY THE RE.
PUBLICAN CAUCUS COMMITTEE.

Washington, May 2l.--It is under
stood that the House Republican eau
Gus committee, appointed to frame q
scheme Of currency reform, has agreed
upon measure along the following
lines:
The redemption of all obligations of
the government in gold on demand.
Greenbacks, when once redeemed for
gold, to be reissued only for gold.
Permitting national banks to issue
notes to the par value of their govern
ment bonds deposited in the treasury,
instead of 80 per cent. as at present.
Permitting the minimum capital OF
national banks to be S25, 900 instead Of
$50, 900, as at present.
This plan is much less comprehen-
sive than ardent advocates of general
currency revision have urged, but was
adopted because harmonious agree
ment on it was possible, which was not
the case when more radical measures
were suggested. -
There Is nothing in this objection
able, unless it is the provision that
greenbacks are to be received only in
exchange for gold, and this will prac-
tically amount to nothing. If a man
wants greenbacks all he will have to
do will be to take National bank notes
to the bank. He will there get gold or
greenbacks-and the gold can be ex-
changed for greenbacks at the Nation
al Treasury. If he has silver, he can get
gold for it, and for the gold get green
backs. To the extent that greenbacks
are kept in the Treasury, gold or silver
will be in circulation, so their being
held in the Treasury will not contract
the circulation. We cannot see, there
fore, that this provision, will have any
practical effect one way or another.
Establishing the gold Standard we
think has already been secured; au.
thorizing national banks with small CAPT
tai will accomodate the smaller towns,
and distribute the capital more gener
ally; and permitting the Nationa
banks to issue ten per- cent more Of
notes, will not affect their value, but
will increase the amount Of currency
| in circulation when there is demand
for it.

s. s. CONVENTION.

The Lake Township Sunday School
Convention held last Sunday afternoon
in the Lutheran church was very inter-
esting and instructive. President M.
c. Boals presided and Frank Hutchins

DEMOCRATIC DISSENSIONS.

Down in theMiami- -Darke district, the
Democrats are having their own troub-
les, and two candidates for Senator,
where one is all that is required. Geo.
s. Long, of Troy, wanted a second
term. Shelby county claimed that it
was her turn, and put up Capt. Will T..
Amos. Shelby county in mass conven-
ton appointed Amos delegates. The
Central Committee of Miami county
appointed Long delegates. About 700
unit errifed delegates met in mass con-
vention and a majority Of them appoin-
ted Long delegates. A minority ap-
pointed Amos delegates. A conven-
tion in Piqua, called without authority,
appointed Amos delegates. All these
spotted and striped Democrats met
in Convention at Arcanum, Dark
county, and the spotted ones nominated
Amos and the striped ones nominated
Long. And the Democrats think they
are going to elect two Senators in thai
District.
But if the Republicans don't monkey
with the same buzz saw, there will be {
Republican Senator elected, and two
| Democratic hides on the fence to dry.

NUGGETS FROM ROOSEVELT.

"a public man is bound to represent
his constituents, but he is no less bound
to cease to represent them when, on a
great moral question he feels they are
taking the wrong side. Let him 60 out
OF politics rather than stay in at the
cost of doing what his conscience for
bids him to do"
'If there is one thing which should
like to eradicate from the character OF
any American it is the dreadful prac-
tice of paying certain mean admira-
ton and homage to the man, who,
whether in business or in politics,
achieves success at the cost of sacrific-
ing all those principles for the lack OF
which in the eye of any righteous man
no possible achievement or success can
in any way compensate.

CORRECTION.

BY a mistake Of the County Secre.
tary, the program for the County Sun.
day School Convention at Lake View
next Friday, names the M. P. church
as the place instead Of the United
Brethren church, which is nearer the
center of the town.
The trains on the D. & L. N. railroad
have so changed time that delegates
from Bellefontaine cannot 60 by rail
get much of the convention and return
the same day. No special train can be
obtained, and great many are disap-
pointed thereby. II. c. MOORE.

PIANO RECITAL.

The entertainment given at Educa-
tional Hall, Tuesday evening, was a
very pleasant one, although some were
disappointed by the non-appearance OF
Miss Alwater, the violinist. The mum
bers given by Mrs. Acton and daughter
were especially pleasing, and every one
enjoyed the playing Of Miss Madge.
Mrs. Acton's pupils do her credit, and
they received many compliments on this
occasion. Mrs. Jennie Cushman is al
ways welcomed, and on this occasion
shared the praise with Miss Cushmar
who is an-excellent accompanist on the
piano.
