ASYLUNAGROW-
PROSTITUTION

One Of the largest and finest farms
fast developing, to be seen in this sec
ton of the state, is that on which the
Wood County Asylum is built, the land
of course, being a part Of that institu-
ton and property of the county.
It was six years ago when the asy-
lum was built and such a transforma-
ton Of scenery has since taken place
that one can scarcely conceive that IN
so short time such change could be
possible.
The farm consists Of $40 acres, all
tilIable land. When it was purchased
by the county, less than 100 acres
were under cultivation, the balance
being cut over land in its wild state.
Good management, and with only the
help of the inmates, the cultivated
acreage at present is nearly 400 acres
with balance, all but few acres,

Masquerade Ball

One of the pleasant social events Of
the season in this city. occurred last
Thursday evening at Writer'S Hall.
The party was conducted by the Y.
NJ. D. Club and was the occasion of a
large and refined gathering. The
party was strictly masquerade and
for this reason possessed the charm
and gaety largely lacking in the ord
mary receptions. Conspicuous among
the characters represented were those
of "Colon and Semi-CoIon" by Chas.
Quinn and Walter Wood; tom and
Jerry" by Geo. n. Wood and Jere Ro-
gers, "Clown" by Steven Damarais;
"Colored Girls" by Miss Lou Wood
worth and Miss Nellie KRONER; Col
ored Clog Dancer" by Frank Morrill, +;
and many other interesting characters
Ed. Fritzsinger and Geo. NJ. Hill, as
back woodsmen were known to only
a few, and deceived a great many of
their most intimate friends. Miss
Latham, as agent for ''Pecks Sun"
was very nicely dressed for her charac
ter, her dress being made up of Peck
Suns only and her bonnet trimmed
with the same.
At midnight the floor manager, C.
II. Slocum, called the dancers atten-
ton and informed them that the prizes
would be awarded by the chairman of
the committee, Mr.. A. B. Breasted. W.
T. Jones. who was dressed as ola
Fayette," received the first prize "a
silver napkin ring) offered for the best
masked gentleman. Miss Mamie
Spafford was awarded the second prize
"a silver gold lined cup) offered for
the best masked lady. Mr.. Frank
Morrill, was awarded the third prize,
"a bar of Rabbits Soap and two linen
towels) for the most comic character.
The bal masque proved what the
7. NJ. D. c. expected, a grand success.
The following is a list of those who
took part:
