the initial announcement that the
railroad company expected to spend
many thousands of dollars i'm inn
provements In the local railroad
yards.
Then Sentinel learns to day on
good authority that the plans, speci-
fications and other details embodied
in big series of blue prints have
been forwarded to this city for the
inspection of the proper officials.
1t is stated that the new plans pro-
vide for the enlargement of the pres

Those who heard John B. DeMotte
the Senses" last year, were espec-
tally anxious to hear him this year in
the seventh number of the lyceum
course in his equally famous lecture
python Eggs and the American
Boy"
1t was a peculiar subject and yet
one from which he evolved some of
the most valuable lessons for the
guidance of, not only the American
boy. but the American man. He stat
ed in the beginning of his lecture
that sometimes a real subject is hedg-
ed around with a concrete border.
which he had done in the subject of
the evenings lecture. "The Ameri-
can Boy" was the real subject and
the python Eggs" was the setting.
He opened by having thrown on the
canvass the head of the monster py-
thon in his native jungle. He desc
cribed the capacity of this monster of
the forest tropics and said that he
was harmless reptile. until his ap-
petite was aroused. Once aroused,
however, nothing would hinder him
in appeasing that appetite, He then
said that the python eggs laid by this
monster found nest in the curl
ing and sinuous body of the serpent.
which would enfold the eggs and the
creature would lie dormant for a
month or more. while the eggs were
being Matched.
To make application of this por-
tion of his subject. he said that the
boy who would stub his toe on the
sidewalk and burst forth in rage.
or the man who would suddenly in
/ fiercest anger strike another and
lay low or kill his victim or anyone
who would give way to anger was
simply illustrating the passion of the
appetite of the animal when arous-
ed. After the burst of passion the
animal or boy was perfectly harmless
until the passion or hunger was
again aroused.
He further illustrated this by hay
ing thrown on the canvass the faces
of almost every known race. which
presented unique and wonderful
study of physiognomy. Again wa.
there thrown on the canvass in way
of Illustration the faces of the great
est musicians, preachers, priloso
piers, publicists, surrounded with
border of the faces of the disso
lutte. or those who had python lik,
in the qualification of their appetit,
given way to drunkenness and de
bauchery.

A Brilliant Success

Perhaps the best arranged, and
the most sincerely enjoyable public
dance that has been given at the Aud

evening when dozen or more popu-
lar young ladies', all of St Joseph s

all came true.

Mighty Truths Stated
By John B. DeMotte

From this point. almost to the con-
clusion of his lecture, it took on a
semi-scientific range of subjects. The
brain, the most wonderful portion of
the human organism was taken up
and thoroughly discussed by charts
and models. Comparative studies of
the brain surface of man and woman,
white man and black. man with the
ape, etc. cts. were given in quick
and powerful succession. The effect
that low tastes. drunkenness and
ignorance had upon the brain itself
was thoroughly set forth. not only in
the magnificent word painting of the
eminent lecturer, but with illuminat-
ed cuts thrown upon the canvass to
better illustrate the language of the
distinguished lecturer.
From each and every one of these
examples of the wonders of the hu-
man brain and its workings, deduc-
tlons were made and truths evolved
that had been proven true by science.
He located the two distinctive por-
tions of the brain, the cerebrum and
cerebellum and said that science had
declared that 1t was the convolutions
OF the brain that gave the distinctive
power.
From the beginning to the end of
his lecture every illustration scintil-
lated with truths incontrovertable in
the scheme of life. He poured forth
from a full heart his interest in the
race and in the boy. how he was
effected for his after life. by the i'm
pressions made upon his brain as a
youth. He gave one most apt IL
lustration how one sentence turned
the tide in the life of boy studying
with another at Heidleburg univer-
sity in Germany and how he had fol-
, lowed up the history of that boy in
| life and the tremendous effect that
that one sentence had made upon his
life. He followed the career of the
other boy. who had chosen the path
of virtue and what it had led him to
in life.
1t is impossible to give but q
simple outline of the wonderful force
of the lecture. 1t was worth thou.
sands of dollars to any boy who
heard it and it is pity that every
boy above the age of fourteen could
not have listened to that lecture last
night, for the influence it might have
had upon his character and career in
life. 1t was worth the whole price OF
the lecture course and those who
heard it. must have garnered new
thoughts and new truths to aid then
