Current Events Class.

The fourth meeting of the Class In
Current Events yesterday afternoon
was full of interest. Some of the top
les reviewed by Miss Golfer were the
political crisis in Kentucky, the Clay
ton -Bulwer treaty, the editorial pro-
ject of VIM. Sheldon, author of I'm
His Steps, and the South African war.
In connection with the war, Miss Golfer
sketched the life of Lord Roberts and
read the charming little poem written
by Kipllng entitled "Bobs." This was
followed by an excellent comparison
of the English Parliament and our
American Congress and reviews Of
Richard Carvel and mo. John st"
The American illustrators, Louis
Loeb and Howard Chandler Christy
were the subjects of excellent short
sketches by Miss Golfer, who had sew
eral pictures of the 'tChrlsty Girl" and
led easily to the very enjoyable pa
piers on Howells and Zangwill. Miss
Golfer excels in her original papers
and it would be hard to find better
short sketches of living authors than
those presented by her each week.

The Marietta Daily Leader
SATURDAY. FEB. 10. 1900.
He Went Home Later.

A rough looking man from Constl-
tuition was in town yesterday and was
accompanied by his family. About
noon they were in the waiting room at
the Union Depot, and the man was un-
der the influence of liquor. His wife
was making touching appeals to his
better nature to keep him from going
out on the street and getting drunk.
His better nature was off on vacation,
apparently, for he Iaft his family, went
out and by the time the 1880 train
was ready to leave he was in condi-
tlon for owning the EARTH" The fam
lily boarded the train and the man
took possession of seat in the la
dies's car, lit cigar and
began to make remarks that were
Conductor Lord told him
to go into the smoker, but he refused
to do so. Upon being urged in for
clble way, he called Mr. Lord vile
name and the latter planted blow on
his nose that made the red fluid" fly.
He was taken from the train and held
until after 1t had pulled out. Upon
promise of good behavior he was not
locked up and went home later in the
day, sadder but wiser man.
Superintendent Brimson witnessed
the occurrence and made no objection

Fire at E. G. Brigham's Gre
cery.

At 8:45 last evening an alarm of fire
was turned in, calling the department
to the grocery store of e. G. Brigham.
Putnam street, where a wicked blaze
was at work on some boxes of matches
placed on IA high shelf. The fire lad
dies were on the spot in a twlnkling,
and before the fire had a chance to
expand to more material on which to
feed, the flames were extingnished by
the chemicals in the efficient hands of
Pipeman Davis. The loss was very
light, as the goods consumed or dam
aged were but few and of slight value.
Had the fire occurred late at night
1t would surely have made a disas-
trous blaze.
Mice among the matches probably
caused them to ignite.

A Year Ago Today.

There is something in the little
phase, Tenth of February" that
makes the cold shivers creep over
ones body. And it is not to be Won
dered at when we remember that one
little year ago today the mercury
stood at 20. "a and 25 degrees below
zero at different points in the city,
while in the county thermometers reg
istered 36, SS and 40 below.
The weather now is rather frosty
and cool, but the memory of bursting
pipes, frozen fingers, failing gas and
the many other trying experiences OF
a year ago, makes the present cold
snap seem like spring.

Young Man Confesses to Assassination
 of Chicago Barber.

Chicago, March 22-"I am the man who is wanted for the murder of Bob, the bar ber,' announced slender man to Captain Wheeler and Lieutenant Ambrose at the Maxwell police station tonight, just twen- ty-four hours after Robert w. Gilchrist was shot down in his shop at 1764 Twenty second street by a stranger, who used a rife to accomplish his deed. The young man gave his name as Lawrence Walsch, 1O4S Trumbull avenue, and said he kille ] the barber deliberately because of a wrong he received at Gilchrist's hands. -Four Lawndale men have reason to be thankful that they did not come in the path of the murderer Wednesday, for he claims that there were five men implicated in the wrong he suffered, and he was determined to kill all of them had they come in his way.
 Regarding the motive, all Walsch would say is that "Bob the barber" whose sur name he did not know, together with -four other men, had within the past thres months done him a wrong which he says justified him in killing them. Walsch dur ing the Spansh-American war was mem Der of the Second Louisiana Volunteer In- fantry, known as the "Tigers."~

Spencer Wilkinson

London, March 23.-Spencer Wilkinson, re- viewing the general field operation in the morning Post says:
 ''The rumors of Boer victories are not worth much, but they may serve to remind us that for day or two there has been no specific account of General Gatacre's move ments. It is probable that his force is marching northward on the east side of the railroad.
 Interest in Mafeking increases in acute ness. Commandant Snyman evidently writes highly colored dispatches, which seem a pity for his tactics are sound.
 'Lord Roberts is not likely to let the Boer army escape him. and he is pausing so as to insure when he next moves, the mobility and handiness of all his columns. By this time he has taken the measure of all his generals and troops, and there is not likely to be any such failure of execu- tion as occurred during the march to Bloem- fontein. He will be directing the move- ments of two, if not three, armies, and the result will probably greatly astonish the Boers"
