FINE HOSIERY.
The Crystal Cafe a Place OF Comfort
and Elegance.

Nick Gender, proprietor of the Crys-
tai Cafe, has just completed temporary
office and reading room in the store
north of his dining room, and is getting
settled down to business. While the
office is only in temporary quarters it
IS neat, we'll appointed, comfortable,
well lighted and well situated.
10 anyone whc has never gone
through the rooms of the new Crystal a
visit will prove a pleasant surprise
to them. The dining rooms are two in
number, nicely furnished throughout
and nicely situated. The kitchen is a
model OF tidiness and everything is so
arranged to be as handy as possible,
even to that most mental and deSpised.
work of the Observation-Disclosures
two patent, automatic dishwashers are
provided for the help. But it is the
sleeping rooms above that are the most
interesting. There are not any two
finished alike. Mr. Gender has spent
great many dollars in Moquet carpets
the entire upper floor being carpeted.
There is different style of carpet in
each room, and the finishings of each
room was made to blend with the car
pet, or rather the carpets were selected
to harmonic with the wall finishings.
Each room is well lighted, cheerful
and bears an air of comfort The bed
steads are of ornamented iron while
the balance of furniture of each room is
either birds eye maple or antique oak.
a hallruns through the centre extending
north and south on this floor with two
side leads, and this with several of the
rooms are lighted by sky lights. To sum
up the whole, the Crystals rooms are
as neat and comfortable as you will find
in many of the high priced hotels of the
larger cities. Mr. Gender caters to the
transient trade only, aside from the
sale of meal tickets, and is always
assured of a return of his patrons.
Meals are served on the European plan,
and the service is like everything else
about the place-tirst class. There is a
great expense connected with this place
for night and day forces of help must
be maintained and the most expensive
of victuals served, Unless care is ex-
ercised there is also great liability
of waste in the kitchen, for great
deal of eatables are purchased of a
perishable nature, such as fish, oysters,
etc. This place is well worthy the
patronage of the travelling public.

THE TRAINING SCHOOL.

| Mr.. {. b. Bird addressed the Literary
society on Friday afternoon, his subject
being Lincoln. He presented him not
as painted idol or demigod, but as
real human being with the qualities and
limitations of humanity, and having to
work out his destiny and meet extraor-
binary difficulties with the manly vir-
tues of patience, fortitude and discre-
ton He showed how his greatest
embarrassments in the first years of the
great conflict came from over-Zealous
and impetuous friends, who could not
wait for public opinion to form about
the measures which he had quite as
much at heart as they did, but which
prematurely undertaken were sure to
end in failure and might have wrecked
the whole cause
He spoke also of his mastery of the
English language and commended his
preference for the Anglo Saxon element
in it, recommending his speech as a
model of simple, direct and forcible
diction, the great merit OF which was
that il was easily understood by plain,
unlettered people.
fine contrast was drawn between
the circumstances and opportunities of
Lincoln and Washington-the one the
child of poverty and rusticty, the other
OF opuence and refinement Washing
ton was the richest man of his time and
enjoyed the highest social standing.
Lincoln had neither wealth nor social
recognition. Both won the highest
honors that could be. bestowed by their
countrymen and were alike deserving.
Their careers illustrate the poets
thought,
Honor and fame from no condition RISE
No inyidious comparisons are to be
drawn between them. Each made the
best use of his opportunities and their
achievements show that Our fortune
is not in our stars but in ourselves"
The debate in the Literary society
was on the question of consolidation of
school districts and transportation of
pupils. Considerable interest in the
question was elected by the discussion,
and decision was rendered in favor of
the affirmative. Experience, however,
shows that it is much easier to prove
the desirability of change of condi-
tons than it is to effect the change. It
cannot be doubted that much good
could be accomplished in many local.
ties by adopting the plan, but the con.
servativism of communities is difficult
to overcome.

REBUILDING THE MILL.

1t was thought, twenty years ago, that
there would be no more use for a saw
mill at Stevens Point and fully ten
years ago it could be heard. every now
and then, that the Wausau mills could
not secure logs enough to run another
season. Yet they are, and four of them
are still turning out about as much as
ever. What prompted this item was
the statement made by the Stevens
Point journal that extensive improv-
menis were being made in the large
saw mill of that city of the John Week
Lumbe Co The mill will be practically
rebuilt. The Journal says: 1T may
seem strange that so many important
improvements would be made in a
Stevens Point sawmil of this late day
in the lumber business, but it is said
that this company has, even at the
present time, timber enough in control
to keep the plant running for ten
years
