Miss Mary Jeffers. of the Woman's
college, Baltimore, delivered the first
of the series Of winter lectures before
the students and patrons OF Friends
School yesterday afternoon. She has
Travelled extensively through Europe.
and while there took many views of
beautiful and historic spots, with
which she illustrates her lectures.
Miss Jeffers' subject yesterday was
The River Rhine" and in her easy.
conversational manner, she took her
listeners with her all the way from
where the river issues. a broad, green
stream from Lake Constance, to its
mouth in Northern Germany She de-
scribed the wonderful old castles and
the quaint little towns which fringe
either bank of the historic stream. and
told many legends illustrative of the
Olden times. One of the most interest
ing of these was the one of Count Fer
dinand. and was told when the view
presented was that of the ruins of his
castle. She said that Ferdinand want
ed money and wanted it very. very
badly While he sat cogitating one
day as TO how he could best get il. the
devil appeared to him, and told him
he would give him all the money he
wanted for one hair of his head Fer
.dinand readily accepted the prOpOsi-
tion. and received the money in ex-
change for the one hair of his head.
This incident was repeated many,
many times. until it came that Ferdi-
nand had exhausted all the pleasure of
life and old and tired. lay upon his

rnrE punnIc LECruREs

Free public lectures for the people
have been a recognized part OF the edu-
cational system OF certain Northern
cities for some years. In New York
these COURSES have been so popular
and so much appreciated That they are
being extended year by year. The
Board OF Education Of Philadelphia
yesterday agreed to accept a similar
course provided by the bounty OF one
OF her citizens, and it is thought uhat
this is only a beginning. and that the
city will, in future. make appropiia-
tions to this worthy object
When we come to consider the sub
ject broadly, there seems to be no rea-
son why the State should provide only
classroom instruction for her people,
and confne it 90 those under age. OF
course. there are the colleges and uni
versities. more or less endowed, but
a very small part of the whole popula-
ton ever enters their portals. Many
persons are forced by circumstances.
over which they have no control to
leave school at an early age, and even
those who have taken the prescribed
pubic school courses. have a desire TO
keep in touch with the best thought of
the day. to learn something Of the new
sciences, and to glance backward over
those subjects whidh have grown dim
In their minds.
The theory upon which, the public
school system is based is THAT educa-
tion is necessary TO good citizenship;
that 1t makes men better and happier.
Why. Then, should tIhe State feel that
it's duty is done when the boy or girl
leaves the schoo,-room, and enters into
the active affairs of life? These pub
lie lectures have come in response TO
a need, and the fact that where they
have been established, THE people have
shown their appreciation. argues that
they should be extended. The cost is
comparatively little. and with eminent
specialists discussing great themes in a
popular way, new ideas are brought Ia
the minds of the busy and the poor.
We have urged that our own Board
OF Education should consider nhis sub
ject, and we are sure that an introduc'
tory course could be arranged, and
that number of excellent and interest
ing addresses could be secured with
little or no cost There is the auditor.

NEW CHARTER DISCUSSED
Would Provide for Construction Of New
CitV Hall

The talk of a new city charter has
been resumed by members of City
Council, and the matter was discussed
by several of them in the Council
chamber last night.
The proposed new charter will pro-
vide for a new city building of suffi-
cient size to accommodate all the city
bodies. While opposed to the demoli-
ton of the old building councilmen
think it would be to THE interests of
the city to purchase the Mullin property
and to raze the old city buildings in
Sixth street
Some contend that in case a new City
Hall is built. it should be erected at
Eleventh and Market streets, as they
contend that that section will be the
business centre of the city in the course
of a few years.

NEURALGIA

We suggest curing pain in

Usual way of treating neural
