to make way for the present county
court house,
GAINESVILLE.
GAINESVILLE, the briefest seat Of Ohio's
peripatetic government, was laid out
in 1897 under the name Of Westbourne.
which It bore until 1902, when the
name was changed to GAINESVILLE, in
honor Of Ebenezer Zane, the maker OF
the famous zane's trace.
The place grew rapidly yet in 1904,
when Muskngum county was formed
from parts Of Washington and Fair
field counties, and the state legisla-
ture was on the hunt for a county
seat, the patriotic citizens OF Zanes-
Vile had to turn out in full force and
cut the weeds and underbrush out OF
their streets in order that the town
might present a judicious appearance
of thrift and life.
When the question Of changing the
capital came up, the Zanesvillians used
the utmost endeavor to gain that Gov
eted point, and as an additional bait
to secure the plum, the GAINESVILLE peo-
pie shouldered the entire expense OF
erecting the necessary state buildings
the required funds being advanced by
private citizens The long-headed
commissioners erected the capitol up
on the public square, so fitting the
buildings that in case the seat of gov
ernment did not come, or did not stay
after it had arrived, the erections
would make a fine court house and
county Offices for Muskingum county
The capitol itself was a two-story
building of brick and stone, on much
the same general plan as the first state
house at Chillicothe, and as the first
state house built afterward in Colum
bus.
For two brief sessions the state
officers and lawmakers met here and

1908, according to an article of the
constitution 1t is said that social diff
ficulties had as much to do as any
thing else with the removal of the cap
ital. The aristocratic Virginia element
held itself aloof from the legislators
from various New England settle
ments that those gentlemen conceived
dislike to Chillicothe and it is be-
lieved, most actively against it,
The result was that the seat of gov
ernment left Chillicothe in 1910, to
come back to it again in 1912. 1t re-
mained there until 1916. when it made
its final removal to Columbus. The

Columbus.

In the year 1910 the general as
sembly appointed a committee to Sc
lect a site for a permanent capital of
the commonwealth That committees
report dated, signed and sent in from
Newark. recommended Dublin. a town
in Franklin county. Worthington
Delaware and Circleville were also
trying to shake the plum tree, but
four men of Franklin county who saw
what a good stroke of business it
would be to have the capital located
on their land laid a proposition be-
fore the legislature to present to the
government a square of ten acres for
the state house, ten more for a peni-
tentiary, and to erect at their own
expense the capitol penitentiary and
other necessary buildings at a cost
not to exceed $4,000 This seemed to
be the best proposition yet advanced,
and the Legislators handed Valen-
tine to the Franklin county men on
February IA. 1912, by the passage of
a resolution fixing the location Of the
future capital The Franklin county
men who were thus instrumental in
locating the new seat of government
were Lyme Startling, John Kerr, James
Johnson and Alex. Mclaughlin.
The first official building at the new
capital was a log jail, which was
probably badly needed This was
erected in 1918, and in the next year
the penitentiary was built, as being
more important to the peace and dig
nifty of the state than state house,
The new state house stood at the
southwest corner of the 10-acre pub
lie square, about 20 feet from the
muddy paths which did duty as pave
ments. 1t was a plain, insignificant
building, and looked much more like

OLDEST IRISH PRIEST
Distinction Probably Belongs to Father
Roche of Wexford.

Rev. John J. Roche of the Order of
Friars Minor, Wexford, has attained
his ninetieth year, and thus is one of
the Oldest priests on active service, if
perhaps not the oldest priest in Ire
land. He still celebrates six o'clock
Mass, very often giving sermon at
that early hour, is also most con-
slant attendant in the Confessional,
visits the sick, and performs the
many other functions necessary at
the frequent services of the Francis
can Church, where he has been To-
Gated since he came from his noviti-
ate at st. Isidore's in Rome, now
more than sixty-fve years ago.
Father Roche comes of a priestly
family. His nephew is Bishop Bown-
rigg, of Kilkenny. He himself is one
of three brothers who became priests,
one of his brothers being Very Rev.
James Roche, who was parish priest
of Wexford for nearly a quarter of a
century and who built the two mag.
nificent parish churches which now
adorn the town, costing over 100000

FOREIGN STUDENTS IN PARIS
The Sorbonne, Centre of European
Education.

Paris is undoubtedly the most cos
mopolitan center of education in the
world. The facilities for study at the
Sorbonne has resulted year ago in
such a growth of the foreign element
at the University that complaints were
widely made that the French students
were crowded out of the libraries and
lecture halls. Recently the actual fig
ures for the past year have been made
public; and they show that the steps
taken to raise the standard of attain
ment among the foreign students have
effectua1ly checked the alarming in
crease in their numbers. The actual
number of foreign students during the
last year was 3,467, as against 1866
for the year before. Nevertheless, a
comparison of these figures with those
of 1923, when the foreign students
numbered 1928, shows in a striking
way the enormous rise in importance
during the last decade of the Sorbonne
as a center of European education. 1t
is somewhat difficult to realize exactly
what $500 foreign students really
means. They are all gathered together
in the Latin Quarter, in district
which is certainly no larger than the
University of Oxford. Yet the total
number of undergraduates at Oxford is
barely 5000, and the number of for
eigners among them hardly exceeds
100. It is figures like these which
bring home to one the unique charac-
ter of Paris as center for the higher
education Of Europe.

Divination supposes the existence of
devils who, being jealous Of man and
hating God. are ever striving, by those
great natural powers which they pos
sess, to lessen Gods glory and to draw
man into perdition, or to injure him
bodily, mentally or spiritually. So that
should spiritualist or palmist, or any
other person pretending to reveal or
actually reveal the future by any
means whatsoever, proportionate to
the end, or not, he may be condemned
either as fraud or as having com
munication with the powers of evil,
and in the first instance it would be
positively absurd and foolish to have
any connection with them, and in the
second, positively sinful.
