FIRST

W. u.
Oratorical Contest at
Grand Opera House.
Final Session of State
Convention.
Five Young Men Competed For
the HOnors.

The Oratorical contest of the Inter
Ohio, was the attraction which COM
fortably filled the Grand Opera house
Thursday evening. Five Ohio colleges,
University of Wooster, Xenia Theolo-
gical Seminary, Oberlin college, Ohio
State University and Ohio Wesleyan
were represented by men who had al
ready won first places in contests
with their college mates, and the con
test here was to decide the supremacy
for the State. The winner, Mr.. Sta
ley L. Davis, of Ohio Wesleyan Uni
verslty, whose easy delivery, grace
ful presence and the thought display
ed in his composition won him the
decision of the judges, will represent
Ohio in National contest in which
fifteen States will compete. This con-
test will be decided at Buffalo, Aug.
End.
Mr. Edwin Barlow Evans, repre-
sentlng the University of Wooster,
was the first speaker, with 'arhe
Twentieth Century Problem" as his
subject.
Mr.. Evans conception Of the greatest
problem before the American people
for solution, is the corrupt political
and social conditions which he attrib-
utes to the licensed sale of liquor.
The speakers presence was pleasing,
but the Grafton was delivered in a
harsh, strained voice The judges
awarded him second place.
The representative of Xenia Theolo-
gical Seminary, II. r. Littell, who was
awarded third place, with Good and
| Right the Motive of Reform" contrast
ed strongly with the preceding speak
er. His voice is soft but possesses
penetrating quality, and his produc-
ton, composed largely of word pictures
of social conditions now and as they
would be once the milleri,im arrived,
seemed to strike responsive chord
in the hearts of his audience.
Oberlins representative, Newton
Moore followed. with "Ultimate Amer
ica," in which he described social and
political conditions after the licensed
saloon has been abolished. The abo-
lition of the liquor traffic will be all
that is required, according to Mr..
! Moore for the extinction of crime,
acquisition of complete happiness and
ideal social conditions.
Ohio State University WAS cham
pioned by g. r. Burkey, whose grafton
'"The Policy of the Prohibition Party"
was rather a generalization than IA
delineation of the policy of party.
Mr.. Burkey's enumeration was clear,
Wesleyan's man, Mr.. Staley II. Davis,
who was awarded first place with
"Drive Them to Cover" Mr.. Davis ma
tural gifts are perhaps greater than
those Of his competitors, his delivery
natural and forceful, gestures grace
full and his production, though con-
tanning elements rather difficult to
adapt to an Grafton, displayed natural
ability. Names experience with Pro-
hibitiOn was described, the history of
the noted Jukes family Of criminals,
touched upon, and the benefits of a
government under prohibitive liquor
laws handled in mastery way.
The judges were Hon. j. j. Ashen-
hurst, of Columbus Rev. ]. G. Slayter,
of Akron, and Judge Ii. l.. Peeke, of
Sandusky.
Music was furnished by male

est and appreciation shown us, and
while the expense of producing it is
somewhat large we have been able
to make arrangements to give it at the

time we shall present Uncle Toms
Cabin in Akron this season, We would
advise all to secure seats at the opera

Extension of Chautauqua Work.

The Chautauqua movement is stead
lily extending It's influence and scope
of work. One of the most remarkable
of the reading circles is located in the
prison of Saltwater, Mimi, where, for
the past ten years, it has exerted a no.
table influence among the convicts in
the regeneration of life and character.
Active circles have also been carrying
on the work for years in the Argen-
tine Republic, Chile and the Hawaiian
Islands. Jamaica in the West Indies,
Yokohama, Japan and India report
large new circles. Chautauqua read
ers are also pursuing the courses in
Mexico, Venezuela, Portugal, England,
France, Germany, Finland Alaska,
Porto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines
and other foreign islands and coun-
rries. Last summer over 120 Chau-
tauqua assemblies were held In thirty
four different States and Territories,
the attendance at which aggregated a
million of people.-Gunton's Magazine.

FAMOUS TRUSTING OAK.
Resort For Many of Sir Walter Scott's
Characters.

Characters.
"Admlrers of Sir Walter Scott will
be interested to know that the famous
trysting oak in Harthill-walk, In this
country, mentioned in Ivanhoe,' and
beneath the boughs Of which so many
stirring scenes were enacted, has at
last come to the ground Scott himself
refers to the tree as 'venerable;' and,
as we may suppose that this epithet
was appropriate in the days Of Coeur
de Lion, it would be difficult to fine
in England a more antiquated trunk
than that which now lies near the
scene of its youthful glory. The Duke
of Leeds Is the owner Of the land
about Harthill, and we liverpool
'Post') are informed that 1t is the in
tention of his agent Mr.. w. Mosey, to
preserve the relic, have it suitably in
scribed, and, with no little ceremony,
plant young tree on the spot. 1t is
very probable that the Duchess Of
Leeds, who, as the authoress Of Cap
erary world, will interest herself in the
matter
1.-THE old tree, by the way, was the
headquarters of Wanda, the Jester
the son of Witless; Gurth, the thrall
of Cedric the Saxon; Locksley, the
wonderful archer, and other charac-
ters in the immortal romance. From
it the letter of defiance was indited to
Front de Boeuf. signed by us upon the
eve Of st. Withold's Day under the
great trysting oak in Harthill-walk.
The above, written by holy man,
clerk to God, Our Lady, and St Dun
stan, in the chapel of Copmanhurst'
According to Scott, the tree was but
three arrow flights from Torquilstone
Castle, place which figures largely
in 'Ivanhoe,' but of which no traces
now eXist."-Meehan's Monthly.

Housekeepers and pure food COM
missioners have a new foe to fight.
1t is viscogen as a milk adulterant.
1t has been found by inspectors of
the Dairy Department in Minnesota,
and, so far as known, it's use is yet
confined to that State. When its
properties become generally known,
however, it may confidently be looked
for elsewhere. 1t is c syrup composed
Of sugar, lime, and water, about the
color Of water, and is used chiefly to
make the milk appear richer than it
really is. When yiscogen is placed
in milk or cream the lactic acid turns
the lime in the fluid into a white,
thick substance, which, assmilating
with the milk, gives it an appearance
and taste of great richness. 1t Is pos
sible through its use to palm off upon
customers milk and cream which is
far below standard. Fortunately, the
adulterant, according to Minnesota
authorities, is not injurious to health.

The Art of ColorinE Pearls.

Pearls can be made Of various colors
by q simple process. Each mollusk
deposits its own sort of nacre. The
nacre of the fresh-water mussel is
pink. Pearl o.sters will produce black,
gray or pure white pearls, according
to the part of the animal where the
nucleus is lodged. At the National
museum in Washington there is an
artificial pearl of exquisite pink color
as large as a pigeons egg.
Partisan jewellers are very clever in
the art of ''peeling" pearls. They will
take a pearl that is not pretty, re-
move its outer coat and reveal q beau
tiful gem within. A pearl is composed
of alternate layers Of nacre and ami
NAL tissue, and the process of pceling
is very difficult. The tools employed
are u sharp knife, various sorts Of
files, pearl powder and u piece nf
leather. The peariy coats are extreme.
ly hard and must be cut Off piece by
piece, the operator relying more on
the sense of touch conveyed by the
blade of the knife than on the sense
of sight. Pearls found imbedded in
the mother of pearl Of the oyster
shell are made marketable by skillful
treatment with acids. Experts know
how to make pedrls of any color,
black by a bath of nitrate of silver,
and by ether chemical means they can
turn them to rose color, lilac or gray.
Pearls of these unusual tints bring
fancy prices.

I observed a locomotive in the railroad

So, if a modern locomotive you complete

You'll supply yourself at starting with a

If your track is steep and hilly, and you
have heavy grade,
And if those who've gone before you have
the rails quite slippery made,
If you ever reach the summit of the up

You'll find you'll have to do it with lib

You can get to any station that's on life's

Wealth of Economy.

In almost all the cases where men
have accumulated great fortunes, at

been the secret Of their success.
Wealth did not come to them in huge

and by saving, year after year, the
loose money which other men squan'

which the thoughtless and improvident

Lord Eldon's Apology.

On one occasion junior counsel, on
their lordships giving judgment

was surprised at their decision. This
was construed into a contempt of
court, and the young barrister was
ordered to attend at the bar the next
morning. Fearful of the consequences,
he consulted his friend, John Scott,
afterwards Lord Eldon), who told him
to be perfectly at ease, for he would
apologize for him in a way that would
avert any unpleasant result. Accord
ingly, when the name of the delin-
quent was called, Scott rose and coolly
addressed the judges. Il am very
sorry, my lords" he said, that my
young friend has so far forgotten him.
