SPLENDID PRODUCTION.

Last night at the Perrysburg M. E
church a distinguished audience con-
gregated to hear the famous produc-
tion, " 900 Miles on Camefs Back, ?"
rendered by NJ Philippe Fontaine.
Phi. d., LII. D., former United States
consul to Egypt, and his wife, Ethel
Tholles Fontaine The patrons in at
tendance all went expecting to hear
something extraordinary in the way of
oratory and descriptive of the travels
of Dr. Fontaine, and 1t was plainly
seen that not an auditor was disap-
pointed. The speaker has few equals
on the American platform as an orator
and entertainer. His powers of de-
scrlption are wonderful; one would
almost imagine himself taking the trip
while listening to the trials and vicis-
situdes of the long journey.
The audience was taken from Cairo,
Egypt, around different points of
Egypt, across the Suez canal and down
past Mara, Shadow Rock and Elm to
the Wilderness of Sin and on to the
Sinai country to the top of the noun
tain and then up through the land of
Moab. past Nebo, on across the Jordan
river up to Jericho and to Jerusalem.
His berating the River Jordan with its
mud and the filth of Jerusalem and its
population of hypocrites and ignorant
people would remind one of Mark
Twain. 1t seems that few travellers
have told the plain truth about the
Orient, and while there are few land
marks indicating scenes in the Bible
times, there are more frauds than gen.
uine places marking historical events,
The Doctor and his wife appeared in
the costumes of the Orient, the seam.
less robe being revelation to every.
body. The production is success,
and the Fontaines proved themselves
first class entertainers
DR.. Fontaine will return on Sunday
evening April 20, and preach at the
M. e. church, and on Tuesday even
ing, April %, will give another of his
famous lectures on the Orient.

Nathaniel l.. Hanson has passed to
the great unknown world. When the
writer was but a boy he became ac-
quainted with Mr.. Hanson, who had
come to Perrysburg to assume man
agement of the first bank established
here. During the many years that
have elapsed, and especially during
the past fourteen years of our news
paper experience in the village, we
have had occasion to personally OBJ
serve his every day life and notice
that in him there lived one of the
strongest, ablest men in the village
The indomitable will power which
enabled him to secure an education
under circumstances where but few
others could survive the trials, was
noticeable throughout his life. What.
ever he had to do, he did with all his
might Whatever he believed to be
right, he supported vigorously; that
which he thought was wrong was OPP
posed with equal strength; but with
all this strength of purpose there was
deeply seated in his heart a desire to
help those whom he found worthy,
and numerous cases have come under
our personal observation where many
people, young and old, have received
advice in financial matters which have
been of great service to them in con-
Quoting their business affairs, and
which came SO freely that many have
perhaps failed to truly appreciate the
gift until now that the giver has laid
down his burden and passed away.
In everything that he thought was of
real benefit to the village he gave
freely of his time, his strength and
his financial assistance. Many young
people have been encouraged and
strengthened in their efforts to make
a success of the life that was before
them; many older people have been
shown how to best arrange and man
age their small funds in order to make
it carry them along the journey which
seemed beset with trials they were un-
able to master. His was life that
reflected credit upon our village, and
now that he has passed away his
many friends, and very few foes, all
join in casting over his memory the
mantle of Christian charity that covers
his few faults and glorifies his many
virtues. E- l.. BLUE.

"There is glory enough for all"
will answer very we'll for report on
the election in Perrysburg. The
election of e. L. Kingsbury as May
or, by a majority of 123 votes and
five of the six Republican councilmen,
indicates that the work was not done
by Republicans only, and that to call
it strictly a Republican victory would
be to appropriate more than belonged
to the party. 1t was victory for the
people and the Republican candi-
dates were the instruments through
whom the people proposed to correct
errors which they considered needed
correcting. There is glory for those
who were elected, and there is no dis
grace for those who were defeated.

The numbers of leaves on an oak
tree 60 feet high has been counted
and exceeds 100000. AS the roots
of such tree penetrate deep into the
earth and every leaf evaporates a
large quantity of moisture it is not
hard to see how forests add to the
rainfall.
