Routed the Enemy.

In some of the London courts there

the lady in the face and expressed his

Why Turkish Women Go Yelled.


Turkish women do not wear wells
because of their religion, as many sup
pose. 1t is merely the survival of an
old custom. When the Turks still
lived in Tartary, before the time Of
Mohammed. it was the habit of the
men to steal such women for wives us
attracted them. This led to so much
fighting that about the second century
after Christ the Turks came together
and decided that henceforth the wo-
men should so yeiled and should not
meet men. but dwell in harems, as
soou us they arrived at womanhood,
which was at about eleven years OF

SILK
Banner To Be Presented To
AdGlphian Class

There was a great excitement in
the Adelphian Bible class Sunday
morning when at the close of the
lesson the Hon. G. v. Trott arose
and announced that he would pre-,
sent q banner on conditions that the
enrolment of the class reaches 500
by Sunday, Jan. 49,, 1910. The
present enrolment is about 450.
All the members of the class seem
to be confident of getting the ban
ner. IN talking to some of the men
after the dismissal of the class MIR
Trott further agreed that upon the
failure of the class to reach the 500
in the enrolment he would present
the banner If the attendance would
reach SAG on either of the two fol-
lowing Sundays. So far as can be
learned 345 is the high water mark
in any mems class in the interna,
tional Sunday-school association up
to the present time. This record was
made only few weeks ago by the
Berean Bible class of Nelsonville, o.
The citizens of Mt Vernon will watch
with much interest the effort of the
Adelphian Bible class to secure this
handsome banner.

Of Mayor Mitchell Is To
Clear Jail Of Prisoners
Wanted No One In Jail On
New Years Day

Mt. Vernon's new mayor, Mr..
Charles Mitchell, assumed his duties
at midnight Friday night. On Satur-
day morning Mayor Mitchell was in
formed by ex-Mayor Smith that there
was a prisoner IN the county jail
with fine and Jail sentence given
him foI train Jumping and stated
that he did not know what they
would do with him. Mayor Mitchell
quickly informed him that he knew
what to do. In a very short time
the prisoner was turned loose and
che Jail was searched for other pris-
oners that would have been set free
had there been any. Mayor Mitchell
stated that he wanted no prisoners
in the Jail en- New Years as 1t was
too happy day and that probably
the prisoners would like to turn over
new leaf and that the Jail wOuld
be very discouraging place to make
the attempt.

Two

Two janitors we're serving at the

morning C. e. Purdy, Democrat,
who was appointed by the county
commissioners few weeks ago, was
at the building to take up his new
duties and William Davis, kepubli-
can. who has been ianitor for the
lower floor for the past few years
was also on hand
Davis claims that he was appoint
ed by the old board of commissioners
late in the fall and chat his time
is not out until the first day of
September. Hence two janitors were
on duty Monday morning and 1t is
probable that the difficulty viii be
settled only by law suit.

Valuable Oil Paintings And
Relics Consumed
As Well As A Large Number
Of Books
The Stack Room Saved From
Destruction

Gambler, o., Jan 3.---A most dis
astrous fire occurred here Saturday
morning at o'clock when Hubbard
hall, the college library, was COM
pletely destroyed by fire and most
valuable reference books, works of
art, records and relics of the college
were lost in the confagration and
cannot be replaced.
The Stack Room, the new addition
to the east of Hubbard Hall was not
damaged and this WAS due to the
fact that there is large steel door
between the hall and Stack room and
fortunately this was closed a. the
time of the fire.
The origin OF the fire appears to
be mystery. 1t Is thought by sumo
that it originated in the heating
plant in the basement and quickly
swept the reading room on the first
floor and the museum on the second
floor of the two story building. An
other theory is that the fire started
from spontaneous combustion. rnere
had been considerable cleaning on in
the building for several days such
as oiling the floors. The gas pres
sure came on very strong Saturday
morning and 1t is possible that some
of the inflammable material was ig-
nited by spontaneous combustion.
At such an early hour in the morn
ing the fire had gained considerable
headway when discovered and in
few moments the interior of the IL
brary was in a mass in flames. Resi-
dents of the village and the few col
lege students remaining on the hill,
as most were home on the holiday
vacation, turned out and made an
effort to save the building from be-
ing destroyed and in saving some OF
the valuable books and paintings
on the interior. Their efforts to save
the building and the contents were
truitless, so all gave their attention
to saving the Stack room. However,
the automatic fire proof doors proved
effective in saving the Stack room
in which Is housed the college Ii
brary, worth $50,000.
In the main building which was
destroyed there were hung the por-
traits of Andrew Carnegie, Bishop
Bedell, Edward M. Stanton and
other notable persons and 1t is i'm
possible to replace this loss. On the
second floor of the Hubbard Hall was
located the relics of the college and
all were destroyed and cannot be
replaced.
Hubbard Hall was built in the
year 1885 at cost of $4,000. The
insurance on the building and a por-
tion of its contents is $4,000, and
the loss over Insurance is estimated
at $4,000.
