tor, sill lecture on December 18th in
the Shepherd College auditorium un-
der the auspices of the Shepherd Col
lege Lecture and Entertainment
Curse. Mr.. Warde enjoys the dis
tinction of having been one of the
most eminent actors in America. He
deserted the stage, however, for the
lecture platform, and, judging from
press and personal comment, be seems
10 be quite as successful and popular
as platform orator as he was as a
tragic actor. His scholarship and ora
torical ability are every where recog-
nized He should prove one of the
very best numbers that has ever been
given under the auspices of the college
course.
Here is what people and papers are
saying about him elsewhere:
No adequate idea Of the eloquence
wi h which Mr. Warde uttered his beau
tiful word pictures can be transferred 10

will carry 10 their graves vivid impress
sions of his magnetic manner, his mag
uificent voice, and his i'm persona lions

IT has just been revealed that S.N.
D. North, at present Director of the
United States Census Bureau, is not
the man that he pretended to be-.
When the Wilson tariff bill of 1894
and also the Dlngley tariff bill of 1897
were before tae Senate, North was
employed by the Senate committee to
assist it as clerk or secretary. While
he was thus paid to serve the govern
ment, he was all the time secretly in
correspondence with certain m4nufac.
turers and helping them, sometimes
by tricky methods, to increase the
tariff rates so that they would receive
particular benefits in their special line
OF business. Upon the conclusion of
his lsbors, as shown by letters now
produced by Hon. Champ Clark, the
wool manufacturers gave him S. 200
in cash, showing how well he had
served them.
1t may not be necessary to state that
Mr.. North has shown himself unfit to
be in charge OF the next census, for no
one will have confidence in hts fg-
ures.
Still, he may suit the Republican
administration.

CONGRESS met in Washington on
Monday. Tuere was nothing of special
interest, save that Speaker Cannon,
whose tyranny and vulgar impudence
is the talk Of the nation, was greeted
with great cheering by Members of
the House Of Representatives who can
secure tsvors only by fawning upon the
man they detest.
1t is already apparent that there
will be no remedial legislation such as
the Republican platform promised the
people. There is, of course. no dis.

Early Morning Fire.

A general alarm of fire, the first in
weeks, was sounded at twelve minutes
past three on Wednesday morning, the
building of W. A. Lauenstein on Mar
ket street, adjoining the telephone
building, being in flames, and the roof
of all atire before the tiremen reached
the scene. The fire started on the
ground floor, occupied by Sally Nazaro
as a bootblack stand and Joseph Man
giarascia as a shoemaker shop. The
upper floors were occupied by Edward
Ridge and family, who had to make a
hasty exit for safety.
The whistle did not blow, the COM
pany afterward explaining that it was
out of order, and comparatively few
firemen responded to the alarm; but
those present soon had the fire under
control and were away in an hour and
a half The building, however, is gut
ted--the upper part gone completely.
Ridge had no insurance on his house
hold goods, which were all destroyed,
and subscription was taken up at the
fire for his benefit.
The family was aroused by pistol
shots fred by Patrolman Meslar, who
saw the fire from the corner, ran to
the scene, and after calling and firing
for assistaIc,e managed to break in the
front door.
