born in June. Not long ago I gave
problem to the young people about
my wifes age and scores of answers

them from school girls about twelve
wears of age Their solutions are
i'm algebra and are neatly and accu-
rately done When my wife was two
weeks old / was six years. You see
| took her SO young so as to tram
her up to my notion, but you can't
always tell First thing | knew she
was training me. / have long observ-
ed that girls are smarter in figures
than boys of their age. | know that
it always strained my mind to keep
up with my girl classmates. After all
of the modern methods and improved
conditions / do not see any difference
in the intelligence or qulckneSS OF
school children now and those OF SIX
ty years ago. ] believe that young
people were happier intellectually then
than now, for they had less trash to
read and no narrowing things in news
papers. Then we read Shakespeare,
Milton, Cowper, Scott, Byron, Gold
smith, Cooper, etc. Now it is some
foolishness by some sensational writer
whose works are read and then forgot
ten. / noted the other day morallZ-
ing writer's recipe for keeping the
spirits up without pouring the spir-
its down. He says: Read line poem

The accident to the unfortunate POLE

passenger station two hours last Fri
day night before he was finally placed
in the city Hospital, has had one excel
lent enect in general, even though this
particular mans experience was not
conducive to his recovery.
First It brought to light a rule Of the
City Hospital. which seemed not gen
orally known among physicians and
police officers, to the effect that in ac-
cldent cases occurring within the city
limits admission to the City Hospital
could be had at once without cost
Again. yesterday the board OF county
commissioners passed a resolution, In
forming police officers and others that
In cases OF accidents occurring in tho
city or county, the county physicians
may be called upon to attend the case,
and that the injured man may be sent
to the hospital at the charge Of the
county, II such step is necessary.
1t will be seen that the deplorable
case Of Friday night has not been with

A CROWDED HOUSE

witnessed the ST. Patrick Entertain-
ment at the Carroll Club Auditor
ium Last Evening Father Null
hearn's Lecture
The Carroll Club auditorium was too
small last night for the attendance At
the st. Patgick's day celebration given
by Parke division and ladies' auxiliary
of the Ancient order of HIbernia9s,
and many were turned away, being un-
able to secure admission. The large
crowd was the more to be wondered at
in view OF the stormy night, but It illus
trated the fervent love for the Emerald
Isle entertained by Irishmen and their
descendants. Storms can not cool the
ardor Of Pat ON st. Patrick's day nor
many years of absence make him for
get the place Of his birth.
The concert programme opened with
medley Of Irish airs by the Opera
House orchestra, after which followed
the principal feature, an illustrated lee
ture, Round About Old ireland" by
Rev c. A. Mulhearn, OF Martins Ferry.
Father Mulhearn was familiar with his
subject, having made trip through
ireland few years ago, and his clever
ly arranged lecture, was delightfully."-
enhanced by about 100 beautiful ster-
eopticon views Interpreting the lee
ture, the following three sweet Irish
ballads were sung by Misses Emma
Connolly. Cora Matthews, Blanche
smouse, Mamie Owens and Mrs. James
II. Higgins: Come Back to Erin, " "The
Meeting OF the Waters" and "Killar-
ney."

some going so far as to say curran had
murdered him. But when the body had
been taken to ZInz's undertaking rooms
and Drs. Steele and States being called
in, careful and thorough examination
failed to reveal any indications of vlo-
lence on any part OF the body, such as
must have resulted from having been
beaten to death.
Squire Edwards empaneled coro-
ner's jury and inquiry was made into
The matter during the afternoon. The
evidence before the jury showed that
he had been drinking very heavily dur
ing the past week, and the jury render
