Death Near Jordan.

On Christmas day, Dec. 25, Mrs.
Chas. Taylor, who resided in the
country south of Jordan, died after
lingering illness. The lady
leaves a husband and eight little
children to sustain the loss of a
mothers care. The family lived
in a little house on a farm, not as
tenants, however, They were not
financially in very good circum-
stances, and as consequence the
kind neighbors came to their re-
lief. After the mothers death a
widowed sister with four little
children was compelled to take care
of the little ones, making twelve al
together, while the husband was
away looking for his sister to help
him. The family came from Mid
die Tennessee. Mrs. Roberts, one
OF the good neighbors, has been
soliciting donations from friends in
the way of food and clothing Such
acts as this are prompted by the
spirit of the Nazarine and the best
impulses of human nature.

school of Telegraph.

Walter c. Morris will open next
Monday one of the most unique and
practical telegraph training schools
upstairs on First street
Mr.. Morris has conceived the idea
that if business colleges can afford
to have practical banking by issu-
ing school currency and furnishing
bank Office furniture and fixtures
for the proper training of students,
practical methods can also be en-
ployed in the study of telegraphy,
and in pursuance of this principle
he has fitted up a study room in the
school with miniature railroads and
telegraph instruments. A long ia
BILE reaching across the front of the
building is to be supplied with rail
road tracks complete with block
system, derails. block stations and
everything complete in the hand
ling of trains. The train will con.
sist of an engine built after the
style of the modern heavy locomo-
tive and two vestibuled cars, and
the entire apparatus will be operat-
ed by electricity block signals as
we'll as trains. The instruments
will be supplied with resonators.
so that the noise of trains cannot
affect the messages. The room
and tables are ready and the ma
chinery will be installed this week,
and when completed will be a
study for the proprletors of bust
ness schools as well as students.
Mr.. Norris says that this will be
the only school in the United
States having this equipment.
In the first place Mr.. Morris is
we'll known telegraph operator and
teacher, and with the addition of
the facilities he has inaugurated he
should have a good patronage and
an excellent school. We can say
that Mr.. Morris will do
his part in training pupils if the
young men and ladies will give him
their time and attention. The
school opens next Monday, and
now is the time to begin.

JAPANESE
FESTIVAL
Red Fish Banners Now
Flying for Baby

! The japanese are celebrating just at
present one of their regular annual
festivals and the big, Tapping, red fish
banners now displayed II front Of SO
many japanese houses are an important
part of the festival This is the cele-
bration of manhood, and the fish, SO
proudly displayed, is a sign to. the
world that in that household the stork
has left a male child during the year
Just past In Hawaii the celebration
is only subdued copy of the real
thing. Here none of the fish banners
are larger than about seven feet long
and many of them are little fellows,
as small in some instances as six inch
es. In Japan the proud father, if he
is wealthy, spreads to the breeze a
banner hundred feet long and cost
ing sometimes up into the hundreds of
dollars.
In March last the women had their
festival, celebrating the births of
daughters by decorating their door lin
tells with paper flowers and perching
4 gaily dressed doll among the bios
sons But this celebration is minor
one. What counts with the japanese
is the arrival of son and heir and
to him belongs the big fish totem, the |
japanese emblem for good luck.
