Professor keenan, and Assistants Are
Doing Excellent Work in All
the Branches Taught.

making most excellent showing in
every way. The enrolment has now
reached 75-a much higher number
than was anticipated-and the work
is progressing in a systematic and
satisfactory manner. Princeton has
reason to feel proud of it's summer
school faculty and of County Super
intendent Ewing for the efforts which
he put forward to make it so signal
a success. Mrs. Maude M. Atkins
of Minneapolis has been added to the
teaching force. She is classed among
the very best of instructors.
A Encouragement of the daily pro-
gram has been made, which makes it
possible for students to take any OF
the first-grade studies desired.
John J. Skahen was in, attendance
on Tuesday and gave a very in
structive talk on the subject, "What
the business world expects from the
products of the common schools. -

suggestions from a business stand.
point, and he is fully qualified to
speak upon the subject he selected.
A hearty welcome awaits him when
he appears at school prepared with
another speech.
The chorus work under Miss Mary
Tanning is making splendid progress.
No one is better qualified to train a
chorus than is this able instructor.
Specimens of drawing work are al
ready on exhibition, and to Miss
Marie Lynch's system of instruction
is due the excellent results.
Up to date the average number Of
book and equipment agents have put
in their appearance, but none Of
them, as is usually the case, have
attempted to butt in during working
hours or to force their wares upon the
students.
George 81. Howard and daughter Of
Rochester visited the school last week
and passed pleasant day. Mr..
Howard has been superintendent oil
Olmstead county for several terms.
The county board convention will
not be held until the teachers meeting
in October, as many of the members

feel that it will be more convenient for
them to attend in the fall.

Seorched Table Linen,

When the three men sat down the leader of the trio began a. minute in- spection of the tablecloth. Presently he put his finger on several little scorched spots.
 @3See this?'' he said to the waiter.
 ''Yes, sir
 Well" said the man, "just bear in mind, won't you, that these holes were here when we came in? And when we get through don't tack dollar on to Dur bill to pay for burned table linen" i"
 That's all right" said the waiter. *I'll look out for that'' . The order having been given, the cautious diner elucidated his remarks stiH further. That is a trick those fellows have" he said Somebody burns the tablecloth with sparks from h cigar and gets away before the dam age is discovered, and the next conner, If he happens to be smoker, is blamed for his predecessors sins and is charged with the cost of the linen. I have had to pay well for other peo- ple's carelessness, so nowadays make 1t point to examine tablecloths at the beginning of meal" ."--New York Press.

A Victim of Leprosy.

"On my travels in Venezuela" said a New York man, Il stayed in hotel with a young man in whose family there was the taint of leprosy, though he apparently did not have it. One night sitting at dinner he became an. gry at waiter and brought his hand down on the table with full force He instantly realized that he did not feel the blow and sat looking at his hand. his face whitening with horror. Give me your knife, Bob,' he said to his chum. He grabbed the pocketknife in a frenzy and stabbed the side of his hand with vicious cuts from finger tips oswrist. You may not know that leprosy appears in the side of the hand, numbness being 8 sign. The man did not feel the cuts. He arose from the table,, knocking over his chair. rushed out into the courtyard of the hotel. and we heard the quick tang of a re- volver shot. telling us how he had con. quered the leper's curse by ending his life''

She Worked the snak. Cure.

Novel crimes are occasionally com. mitted in Paris, as, for instance: AT old gypsy woman called on doctor living in the Place Pierrtere and asked him to visit her daughter, who was lying ill in a caravan on the fortifca. tions near by. 'I have tried the ser. pent cure" she said, "but there was nc result. If you will allow me to pay your fee in advance shall be sure you will come"
 The doctor consented, and the old woman handed him $100 note. As he was getting the change out of the safe she again mentioned the serpent cure" and he asked her what it was. This" she said, and, taking box from under her rags. she turned half a dozen snakes out on the floor.
 The doctor was startled and rushed out of the room. When he returned with stick he found that the woman and the snakes had vanished, while all the money in his safe had also gone. He still held the $1O0 note in his hand, but this proved to be a forgery.

DIR. PORTER'S LECTURE
 IN LINCOLN HALL.
Mems League of Presbyter- ian Church Give Vote of Thanks to Speaker.

A large audience in Lincoln Hall est. to the lecture given by Dr. George L. Porter, on the assassination of Lin- coin. pr. 'Porter's narrative of this event, has become classic, and re- ceives universal acceptance, not only from it's beautiful diction but also from it's .undoubted authenticity, be- ing in large part, the personal rernin- iscences of the speaker.
 The plot of the great conspiracy, which resulted in the assassination, was concisely but clearly told. The character and traits of the individual conspirators were ably portrayed The narrative of the events just proceed ing the crime was vividly detailed, the subsequent escape of the assassin by the aid of confederates, until his cap ture and death and finally the dispo- sition of his remains, which incloses a secret known only to half a dozen per- sons, of whom Dr. Porter is one, all of whom have been true to their oath, and have never diVuIged the secret of the burying place Of the miscreant; all this held the audience in rapt atten- tion.
 The lecture was given under the aus pices of the Mems League of the Peo- ples Presbyterian Church. The op- ening exercises were those of an or dinary meeting of the League. MT. Edwin A. Moore, the President of the League, opened the meeting by calling for the singing of My Country 'tis of Thee,' followed by a prayer by. the Chaplain, Mr.. William H.
