Ebautauqua meetfn9.

One of the really good meetings
that are so frequently characteris-
tic of the local circle of Chautau-
quans was held last Sunday after
noon. All the members were
present as was also new one who
was assigned to class G. Having
entered upon what is designated
as the non-reading period, it was
decided to discontinue the circu-
lation of the class books until
those for the next year arrive. Any
book may. however, be had by
applying to the Secretary.
Two applications formembership
were submitted, the acquisition of
which will bring the enrolment
up to the average number.
Aspecialreport entitled English
and American Newspapers was
the first on the program; and, as
the ability of the contributor is
not lacking, the subject was ably
and Interestingly treated.
Goal Minlng," by a class A
member who has travelled and seen
much, was also an excellent paper
in that it was descriptive to the
minutest detail and was specially
commended by the critic.
The Telegram man, who is
always welcome participant in
the program, impaired his know
ledge of the meat industries in
Chicago in class report the sub
ject of which was "a Trip Thru
Packingtown." Whether he has
been subsidized by the Big
Eight as the critic inferred is,
perhaps, questionable, but however
that may be, the reading of his
paper was the beginning of the
heated discussion that continued
turnout the rest of the session.
"The Present Era, It's Advan-
tages and Our Opportunities" was
the theme of new member, and
was a logical refutation of some of
the theories of socialism but
chiefly of the present-day pessi-
mist, contending the while that by
taking hold of opportunities the
conditions 80 much complained of
would be overcome.
The critic in his usually thor
ough report reviewed the proceed
ings much to the benefit of all,
giving specialcredit topraiseworthy
features as we'll as pointing out
wherein improvement could be
made in other ways. A few min
utes were then given to general
remarks after which the meeting
was adjourned to meet again July
9Th which will be the last quarterly
meeting for the year and for which
an especially arranged program Isl
being prepared.

The chief clerk of division
superintendent on the Pennsyl-

hell-surely if there is not one,
it is serious misfortune.
This is queer old world, taking
it up one side and down the other;
those who themselves are caught

borrow a Muldoonism, are firmly
convinced that everybody else is

the new prison will begin as soon
as the preliminaries are completed.
Sing Sing was built more than
eighty years ago. It was built, of
course, in accord with the spirit
and ideas of that period. Men are
confined in inches in the wall call
ed cells, and deprived of both air
and light. Sanitation was almost
entirely ignored. Five years ago
