A SPLENDID
LECTURE
ELLIOTT A. eoYL GIVES LARAMIE
AUDIENCE AN lNTELLEC-
TUAL TREAT.
Unseen" and INDUCES in Oratory
of High order-Lyceum Course
Has Already Proven Success, With
Two More Treats Yet In Store,

The lecture at the Opera House last
evening by Elliott A. Boyl of Chicago
drew a fair sized and very select audi.
ence. The speaker was here under the
auspices of the Y. P. S. C. e lyceum
course and like the previous numbers
furnished was all that was expected or
could be wished for. Mr.. Boyl is a
pleasing, ready and fowery speaker
and held his auditors with the deep
est interest throughout the discourse.
He had chosen as his theme, Seen and
Unseen" and, as the speaker said, 1t
allowed him an unlimited range, as
what was not seen was unseen. How
ever, he followed very closely a line of
thought tending to elevate the spiri-
tual more than the physical being, IL
Illustrating the stands taken with little
incidents and amusing circumstances
which made his point very clear. He
touched on various phases of life and
character and pointed out shortcom-
ings in the home as well as in the ordi-
nary walks. At times his descriptive
word pictures were magnificent, and
his oratory and wit were of a high or
der.
Mr. Boyl is a good story teller, and
these, as well as his g~ood-natured sal
lies, frequently ~convulsed the audience
with laughter. The stories he told ap-
pealed strongly to many, who delighted
in giving some of them local applica.
ton.
There was but one thing to mar the
thorough enjoyment of the evening by
those in the audience and hat was the
condition of the Opera House. The
janitor of that usually comfortable
auditorium richly deserves being asked
for his resignation. Though people sat
on many were actually punished by the
cold and the speaker was at a great
disadvantage.
In announcing the speaker Mr.. A. N
Hasencamp stated that the lyceum
lcourse had already proved a success
and well it might for an exceptionally
high class of entertainments has beer
furnished thus far and the remaining
two numbers promise to be equally ex
cellent. On the 30th of this month the
Midland Opera quintette will be pre-
sented, giving assurance Of another
rare musical treat.

PASSENGERS Prefer steel Cars.

In the New York subway there is
one steel a on every train, and it is
a curious fact that this one car is
packed, while the others have many
vacant seats. The passengers realize
that there is less danger of injury in
the former than in the latter style.
Thousands of people also realize the
danger in allowing the system to be-
come weak and rundown and the
blood impure, and consequently always
keen a bottle of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters handy. 1t is excellent as a
strength builder and tonic, and pre-
vents disease from obtaining a foot
hold. Get a bottle without any further
delay and you'll be thankful for taking
the hint. 1t always cures insomnia,
liver troubles, headache, boating,
heartburn, dyspepsia, indigestion, cos
~tiveness, chills, colds or malaria. For
sale by druggists and dealers every,
where.

Gases Penetrate Glass.

With liquid air performing feats and doing jobs for the scientific and in dustrial worlds, gaseous glass is per haps not amazing. Glass, the renoWn- ed experimentalist, M. Berthelot, has proved permeable to gases at nigh temperature. At temperatures below Its melting point glass has been as sumed impenetrable by oxygen. nitro gen and carbon monOxide and dioxide. but between $50 and 800 Centigrade glass tubing has shown itself permea- ble. This passage of gases through slightly softened glass is compared to the gaseous exchanges taking place at the ordinary temperatures through the walls of India rubber tubing and the importance is emphasized of this prop erty of glass hitherto unsuspscted in many chemical and physical investiga- tions at high temperature.

SoFT-EYED MEN OF PACIFIC
Loochoo Islanders Who Possess Most Winning and Remark
 able Optics.

A woman traveller who lately visited the Loochoo islands, in the Pacific, de- scribes her first impressions in the North China Herald. The first thing that struck her on landing was the fact that the coolies who tumbled lazily aboard her ship were "very much addict ed to the use of hats, and very little to the use of any other clothing" She continues: T can best describe the hats by an exclamation of one of our party, What beautiful waste paper baskets they'd make!' These hats were fastened on with loops of thick, brown, hairy palm rope, through which were passed cotton strings tied under the chin. Every mans face was ornament ed with a thin, brownish black beard and mustache, and it was often hard to tell where the beard left off and the hairy rope began Wisps of unkempt hair also struggled about the neck, giv- ing to the man the look of some savage creature. Taking in these details, my eyes came at last to the eyes of these seemingly wild savages. and To! l looked into large, soft, black eyes, so wide apart, like those of the ruminating animals. And in their depths lurked a good-natured smile. just waiting to an- swer one from me. I never got used to the incongruous effect of those gentle eyes and that fierce beard on each other''

CAPTURING THE WILD DUCK
Clever Scheme of the Chinese Is Sue cessful Among the Wary
 Water Fowl.

A full-grown wild duck is one of the most wary of all wild creatures. A wa terman may be working all day long with shovel and pickax, says the author of Bird Life and Lore" barely stones throw from a large flock of widgeon and wild ducks, and they will not notice him, for they know that he means them no harm. But let a sportsman enter the meadows and hide his gun ever so care fully. and make himself ever so small. it is ten to one that they will rise in d cloud when he is some four gunshots away from them, and take themselves off to place of greater safety
 There is one method of taking wild ducks in considerable numbers, prac- ticed in China and in some other coun- tries, which is 80 amusing and 30 little known as to deserve notice.
 The natives take care that a large number of big calabashes, or gourds, should always be left floating on the wa ter frequented by the birds, till they get to regard them as part and parcel of their resorts The duck hunter chooses his time, and, putting one of the calabashes, with holes cut for his mouth and eyes, upon his head, he wades through the lake, taking care to keep the whole of his body well be- heath the surface. He cautiously ap- breaches the unsuspecting wild fowl, and, catching one of them by the leg, pulls him, with a sudden jerk, beneath the water, causing hardly more commo- tion of the surface than the duck itself often makes when it dives, or plashes, or plunges for its food. He wrings it's neck under the water and fastens 1t to his belt. Then he deals with another and another in the same fashion, till he makes his retreat, equally unnoticed, with a whole girdleful of captured wild ducks round his waist.

COLLEGE GIRL AS MOTHER
Collection of Baby Pictures Shows Conclusive Evidence of
 Fitness.

An instructor at vassar college has an odd and interesting collection of photo graphs-the photographs of the babies of young women who are college gradu- ates, says an exchange, are strong and beautiful. They number over 300. The instructor said of them:
 q began to collect pictures of tho children of female A. B.'s and A. Ms because I had heard so much talk about the higher education uniting woman for her natural sphere and so on.
 My collection proves that the high CT education makes mothers of an ex- cellece hitherto unknown. Highly edu- cated women don't weaken themselves with tight corsets. with overmuch danc- ing and card playing. They are athletic and strong. Their bodies as well as their minds are developed.
 They enter upon the duties Of moth erhood with unique courage and wis dom and strength. and the result is that their babies are the biggest, strongest. handsomest little creatures"
 She pointed toward the 300 photo graphs.
 But just look at those pictures, she cried. Just look at them"

MAN WHO WASHES CLOCKS
One of . Few Engaged in This Sin gular Business in United
 States.

"I've been washing the faces of the city clocks nigh on to ten years, guess," said . pleasant Scotch-Irish- American, according to the New York Post, "and before that did 1t in tho old country. There aren't many face washers in this land ,and the few who know the business do we'll at it." Hs looked prosperous in his tweed suit and derby hat.
 ''Is your work anything like that of the steeple-climber!" he was asked.
 Bless you, mo-" he replied. with twinkling eyes, much amused. "Only in one thing, and that is that mostly sailors take up with the trade. That's because we're good climbers, you know I've washed the faces of city and church clocks that were 180 feet from the ground, and it took me two and three weeks to do it. I'm . practical clock repairer, too-have to be, you know-and do my work in huge wooden cradle made for the purpose. Some clocks get their faces dirty in 6 year or so; others remain clean ten years, and so on. Old Ben, Vest minister's great clock, is expected to keep clean IS years.
 "In the old days the trade was more dangerous. We used to work from scaffolds and got many dangerous falls Now we have the cradles. and all the fxings and comforts, and if a man keeps his head he can work as we'll as on the curb. How is the pay? We'll. that's hard to figure, for we work by the job. We don't clean clock faces in winter, so we make enough in the summer to last the year around. Of course, sometimes the clocks are taken out of their cases and repaired in the shops, Last year I cleaned 2.OOO, and visited only two other cities, Chicago and Boston. This year I'll make more because the building operations have grimed the clocks and given our trade an increased demand"

 outside. It become louder increasing | to a horrible din like unto that pro- Guced by the Roman mob. He heard l his name shouted above the awful roar
 and, urged by his wife, he at last
 yentured to a window. People" he cried, why have you struck? What do you want? I have
 tried to deal fairly with you. What IS
 your grievance?' The coachman, who was acting as saying:
 We were ordered out by the head of the Teamsters' union" What has the Teamsters union
 to do with me or the way my house is run?'
 You have a statue of Apollo tu your

 Yes. It is one of my choicest pos
 sessions. It is great work of art. | am very proud of 1t"
 You must pull it down and have it thrown out of your house before we can return to work. We have our
 orders from the president of the Teamsters' union" This is preposterous. What has my statue of Apollo to do with you
 or your duties? And where does the Teamsters' union come in?" "It seems" the ooachman replied
 sthat Apollo and Phoebus were the
 same party, and it's reported on good authority that Phoebus used to be pon-union driver. We've got our or l ders. We can't work for man who

Jackonsville and Sunnybrook, 10th Dis
trict.-The icehouse of Mr.. William Smith, of
this neighborhood, took fire last Sunday after
noon from some unknown cause. Fortunately
it was discovered before it had made much
Roadway and it was extinguished with small
damage.
Rev. Mr.. Carswell who was to have preached
at Chestnut Grove Church last Sunday morn
ing, was prevented by illness from doing SO.
Rev. Mr.. Harrison filled the pulpit in his stead.
Owing to the condition Of the roads the con-
gregation was not so large as usual.
Mrs. Cuttings Wilson, who has been suffer-
ing for several months from the effects of an
operation, has made little improvement. but
she bears up under her trouble with remark
able fortitude. Herfriends hope for her speedy
recovery.
Owing to the recent rains and melting snow
the mud on the county roads is almost bottom
less and travel is necessarily impeded. 1t is
time for the authorities to consider the bridg-
ing of the small streams on these roads as at
times they become swollen into torrents and
then there is always danger in crossing them.
One very serious accident in this community
from this cause is still wildly remembered and
something should be done without further de-
lay to prevent repetition.
The last meeting. of the Ladies' Aid and the
Missionary societies of Chestnut Grove Church
was held at the home of Mrs. John r. Price,
near Jacksonville A number of garments
were made by the ladies for the missionary
cause. The hostess served an appetizing COLA
ton.
Miss Maybre Carroll, of Jacksonville, led the
Young Peoples Christian Endeavor meeting
at Chestnut Grove Church last Sunday night.
Mrs. Hilgartner, whose serious illness has
been several times reported in this correspon-
dence, died at her home at Sunnybrook, after
a protracted illness from consumption, aged
81 years. She is survived by her husband, Mr..
Louis J. Hilgartner, and three children. The
funeral will take place at Wilson's M. E.
