NOW IS THE TIME

Now! when this weather just
makes one dream of the cool and
delightful retreats of the Adlron-
dacks,
Of the Thousand Islands of the
St. Lawrence,
The thousand lakes and streams
of Michigan, Canada, and the
northwest;
Where one can roam with fishing
rod along shady forest streams and
swing the line out over the deep
pools,
Or paddle through quiet waters
with only the music of the forest or
the ripple of the water to break the
deep quiet of the solitude,
Now is the time to consult your
nearest Big -Four Agent as to routes
and rates and get his information as
to through sleepers from St. Louis,
indianapolis, Cincinnati, Dayton,
Springfield and Columbus to Cleve-

M EMORlAL SERVICES

The Hetrick Theatre, last Sun.
day, was crowded with people who
turned cut to witness and partici,
pate in the union services in mem,
DRY of the old boys who made il
possible for us to have a united
country. The Theatre was taste
fully decorated with flags and flowers
and it seemed good to be there
The old soldiers marched in a
body and occupied front seats in
the center Of the building. Most
of the churches participated and
their pastors were on the platform
helping to conduct the exercises.
The singers of the city were asked
to be present and goodly chorus
was on the platform. Mrs, Felts
sang with telling effect beautiful
solo appropriate to the occasion.
The memorial address, we coul,
hardly call it sermon was delivere,
by Elder Kitchen of the Christian
church. 1t was eloquent and in
structive. 1t was entirely out OF
the usual line of the ordinary mem
DIAL sermon, but was highly appre
ciated by the intelligence of ms
audience. 1t dealt with the historl,
wars of the world and the grea
epoch marking battles. The argu
ment running through the discourse
was; War is terrible but must b,
undertaken some times i'll defense OF
eternal truth and right. That ma
ton to live must be founded on IN,
principles Of eternal justice to al
men. AT the close of the address
the large audience remained in their
places till the old soldiers marched
out.
Each year sees the ranks of the
old soldier thinned. This year the
Chanute post reports the loss o.
seven during the past year. As We
looked over the gray heads of the
old boys assembled and noticed
their uncertain footsteps as they
marched out, we could scarcely
realize that these were the proud
active young men we saw in their
new uniforms of blue, marching to |
the front in 81. Yet such is the |
case.
In but few years more we will |
not have any soldiers of the great
rebellion left. But their achieve

For the first time perhaps, IN educational
history, on last Tuesday classical and technical
universities and colleges recognized an aff1lia-
ton with technical school for laborins men,
On Tuesday. October 16. the first and largest
of the correspondence schools. the International,
Of Scranton. Penn. celebrated the fifteenth an
uiversary Of its establishment. At the ami
versary exercises. which were held in Scranton.
q number of the universities. colleges and tech
rical schools Of the United States were repre-
sented either by the president or member OF
the faculty. Among them were Lehigh, Cornell.
Princeton Washington and Lee. Syracuse. Wes-
leyan, Wisconsin and Chicago. Governor Pen
nypacker Of Pennsylvania, Charles Emory
Smith ex-Postmaster General. and Colonel H.
l. Scott, superintendent at the West Point Mil
itary Academy, among the guests
There were striking contrasts to be found
among the guests. for. sitting beside the college
presidents and professors. were men who had
once been miners, but who, through their own
efforts, had risen to executive positions. Among
them were several excellent illustrations OF
what a man with desire to improve his condi-
ton can accomplish. One was Thomas Coates,
the first student enrolled in the schools. He
was a miner At the present time he is a mine
superintendent. Another was Michael J. Nc
Hale. mine superintendent. who had formerly
been miner. with no prospect of ever being
anything more The story of his rise in the
world was told by Thomas J. Foster. the founder
and president OF the school. IN his address. Mr..
McHale while working a miner was asked
to enroll by q representative of the school one
afternoon just after receiving his pay. He was
convinced that 1t would be to his advantage 10
study, but he had received only S11 for the
months pay and had a wife and two children to
support, he concluded to take the representative
to his home and have the latter lay the subject
before his wife She also was Of the opinion
that her husband would gain by studying, and
although they could hardly see their way clear
TO do it, McHale enrolled and gave S5 out Of
the 81 as the first payment on his scholarship.
He had gone to work in the mines at the age Of
eight and a half years. and had had so little
schooling that he knew nothing OF arithmetic
when he began studying. Having promised the
representative that he would study one hour
day he kept his word and at the end Of the year
could extract square and cube root.

atmosphere Of the dance hall cannot be over
rated The dancing school girl is a type on the
East Side, and can easily be recognized by the
boldness of her stare, roughness OF her speech
and vulgarity Of her manners. But, above all
the dance hall cheapens the worth of her own
body. She does not resent even the most vulgar
touch. II is not therefore surprising that cases
of ruin frequent. and Illicit connections
widely prevalent. Many OF the fallen women OF
the city are graduates OF the East Side dance
halls.
The settlements on the East side find IL dif1-
cult to counteract this influence Miss Lillian
Wald, who more than any one else has given
her time TO the problem. built a few years ago
Clinton Hall, 10 counteract the evil OF the dance
halls, but 1t is only drop in the bucket, and
has not appreCiably diminished the evil The
Educational Alliance has also made efforts TO
combat the dance halls by establishing dancing
ola sses under the auspices Of responsible women
The classes were open twice a week. but 1t was
soon found that those who attended the dancing
classes at the Alliance were also freQuenterS OF
the dance halls elsewhere all the week around.
The Educational Alliance finally abandoned the
effort. The dance halls are therefore left to
their own nefarious devices by which they work
immense harm TO the health and morals OF the
young girls and young msn who frequent them.
