Would Result In Great Good.

A plan is on foot that would result In
much intellectual good to our people
should 1t be possible to accomplish the
end desired, and it is sincerely to be
hoped that the desired end can be
reached. Before introducing the lecturer
of the evening last Wednesday Mr..
Geo. r. Wood briefly outlined the
plan for securing to the Van Buren,
public popular priced course of six
lectures for the 1900 1901 season. twas
very truly stated by Mr.. Wood that at
the prices which it has heretofore been
necessary to charge 1t was impossible
for the majority Of our people to attend
regularly. The present intention is to
issue season tickets costing, as hereto.
fore 80. 90, but good for six lectures in.
stead of four, and then make popular
admission price Of 25c for each lecture,
provided, of course that Van Buren has
an opera house, or hall, by that time of
sufficient seating capacity. This price
would make it possible for many to take
their entire families, where heretofore
1t has been impossible for those Of limited
means.
To our mind no better entertainments
can be had for the uplifting Of com.
munity than series of high grade
lectures, they broaden the wind Of the
hearers and reach many in ways quite
unexpected by themselves. The com.
mittee who will have charge Of the
arrangements for the coming season
should be given the utmost encourage
ment on all sides.
To Prof. Peacher, through whose
instrumentality chiefly our people have
had the chance Of listening to high.class
lectures during the past two seasons the
thanks Of the entire community is due.

The lecture Of Col Bnin, one

attended and thoroughly enjoyed Ivy
everyone present, Like all of the
previous lectures there were many things
brought out that should assist its hearers
to better mud more elevated enioy

BILLS OVER A CENTURY OLD
They show Ten to Have Been n Cam

They SnO" en- 10 bten u
bridge Students FnvOrite Drink.
There is a bin for groceries, etc, fur
nished for an undergraduate at Cam
bridge in The year 1TSS. The bill con-
tains one or two items of furniture.
Apparently the undergraduate took
over rooms already furnished at n val
nation, and certain articles had TO be
bought new, such as hearth brush, Il
pail, a mop and Holland gotch.'
One knows not what this means, but
it cost , shillings pence as cents.
The undergraduate would seem at
first sight to have consumed tea in 4
most reckless manner. On Oct. "a he
is charged shiIlings for Hyson and 1
shilling pence for Congo. On Nov.
l he is charged shillings for tea and
on the same day, which looks odd, q
shillingS pence for tea. On the 9th
of the month he buys a new teapot, the
old one, one suppOSes, worn out with
hard service. However, this tea lasts
him till the end of the term, so that
his tea costs him for the two months
no more than IL Shillings, or $2.TJ, and
as the price of tea ut this time varied
from s shillings to about % shillings
we may conclude that he got through
no more than a pound during the term.
In other words, this young man took
for breakfast Il slight repast of weak
tea and bread and butter. Dinner was
then served at u, so that breakfast
was only what the Indians call Il
"chota haZri." on sugar he spent 4
shillings, which means six pounds at
pence pound. On candles he spent
81 shillinGs ST. pence, or about 3 shil-
lings a week. He burned wax candles,
mold candles and wax twist" Salt
was shilling n packet. On two occa-
siOns he bought sand. Was, then, the
floor of his room sanded? 1t would
seem so.-St. Louis Republic.
