Friday Morning EntaiIing A
$4,000 Loss

Butler, Feb. 5-A $4,000 fire early
this morning levelled the school
building of this village to the ground.
The cause is unknown, but it is
thought that gas explosion
occurred, setting fire to the wood
work. The building was two stories
in height and composed of brick. In
surance completely covers the loss.
The fire was first discovered at 3
o'clock this morning and had gained
rapid headway in the basement Of the
building. Volunteers were called out
and every effort spent in staying the
flames, but to no avail. All that could
be saved were q few text books.
The pupils of the school we're
housed this morning as conveniently
as possible. The board Of education
has met and determined to rebuild.

the hard work done by a number of
Ohio clergymen in bringing 1t to suf-
ficiently large proportions to make
the improvements. He paid high trib-
utes to these men.
The final speech Of the afternoon
was delivered by Bishop Coadjutor
DuMoulin. He spoke of the pleasant
relationships Bexley had afforded
him and mentioned his desire for a
closer contact with the school.
The announcement that Bexley
would be improved by interior remod-
cling and renovation was made at the
commencement exercises in June,
1913, by President Peirce. At that
time, the fund was only partially COM
pleted and the summer was devoted
to canvassing for money. The total
sum expended In the work Is between
$4,000 and $4,000 and, with the ex-
ception of the Kenyon dormitories,
no finer collegiate rooms can be
found In the country. Bexley has long
been recognized as the finest example
of Elizabethan architecture in Ameri-
ca. This reputation will not be af-
fected in the slightest as all of the i'm
provements are interior. The exter-
ior has been preserved in the small
est detail, no attempt being made to
change or improve 1t.
The improvements consist of a
complete renovation. New floors have
been laid, new staircases erected, a
new plot followed in the arrangement
of rooms. Modern conveniences, such
as shower baths, have been installed,
while the whole is beautifully finished
in heavy oak Of mission tone. The
chapel, the seat of the spirit Of Bex-
ley, has been changed from east and
west to north and south and now oc.
cupies the entire width of the lower
floor on the western end. The new
Bexley Is a model of beauty.

ROAST Pig
Supper Held By Mems Bible
Class Of N. P. Church
Followed By A Very Interest
ing Debate
10y Class Reporter)

The roast pig supper given by the
Mems Bible class of the M. p. church.
Wednesday evening, proved to be
one Of the most successful social
events ever held in the class room.
Seated at the tables were one hun
dred and seventeen men, each of
whom were served with a generous
slice of pig, carved "and served by an
efficient corps of walters" under the
supervision of chef George Bodkins.
The menu consisted of roast pig and
dressing, with apple sauce, mashed
potatoes, cold slaw, pickles, bread,
butter and coffee.
At the finish, after a careful survey
of the kitchen and dining room, it
was seen that there no "leavin's," but
one hundred and seventeen smiling
faces proved concIusively that roast
pig properly served is one sure way
to make men happy.
Immediately following the supper,
Mr.. Harry McCready and Mr.. Norman
Turner favored the class with solos,
accompanied by Mrs. Mary l.. Jack
son. Both singers were in excellent
voice and the pleasing manner in
which their numbers were rendered
shows that both are artists Of ability.
Mr.. r. M. Davis, class president and
toastmaster, called upon several of
those present, who responded with
short, but interesting, talks.
A brief intermission occurred, to
give the committee time to clear the
tables, when the event of the evening
took place In the debate on the ques-
ton, Resolved" That the Temptations
t. Backslide are Greater Today Than
Ever Before" Mr.. A. B. Jones for
the affirmative spoke fiuently on the
man of business In competition with
other firms, spending many hours de-
vising ways and means to get the bet
ter of the other fellow, which might
otherwise be better employed.
Mr.. G. b. Squires for the negative,
commencing with the first great
temptation in the Garden Of Eden,
carried his audience along through
many noted events in ancient history,
all of which were most convincing.
Mr.. John Ward surprised everyone by
his ability as speaker; his argu-
ments We're right to the point and his
clever handling of the subject at
hand won the admiration of all. Mr..
Hector Jones, A. p. Taylor and Il. H..
Calkins won many telling points, but
the climax came in the rebuttal. Mr..
Squires made an impassioned appeal
to the better Judgment of his hearers,
basing his argument on the latter
clause In the fifteenth verse, fourth
chapter of Hebrews, where 1t reads,
For we have not IN high priest
which cannot be touched with the
feeling Of our iniirmities, but was in
all points tempted like as we are, yet
without SIM" During this plea the
|'clasg was treated to the finest display
of oratorial ability that they have
Witnessed for many a day. 1t is safe
to assume that the negative side won
by an overwhelming majority.
All joined in singing that grand old
song, "The Tie That Binds" and were
dismissed with prayer by class teach
| err the Rev. o. Il. Ford.
