Eli Perkins delivered one of the humorous lectures for which he is famous, at College Chapel, on Monday night. Perkins' name has become synonomous with humor, and so everyone went prepared to be amused, if not iustructed. That none were disappointed was evidenced by the hearty peals of laughter that greeted tbe lecturer a sayings and witticisms. The blues have no abiding place where the cheery voice of EH Perkius is heard. .

Samuel Gil more tok a sub scription paper about the city recently in aid of Clark & Baker, the. wagou makers who were burned out without any insurance, Mr. Gilmore raised over eighty dollars. It was a handsome thi utr for Mr. Gilmore to do, as he is a competitor in business. The new electric st reet lamps are a vast improvement over tho old ones. They burn with a clear, steel colored light that does' not "flicker," and are immensely satisfactory. The volt measurement is much stronger than iu the old system, it being 2,b00 volts against 600 volts by the Jeuny. Coutact with a live wire at present in use would produce almost instant death. So it is well to be suspicious of anything in the electric line. Christmas eve, at College Avenue M. E. church, there will be a gift entertainment for the children.

The railroad company gets about $50 a carload for hauling stone to Chicago, so that this quarry alone will have paid into the Monon's treasury $75,000 freights. All the good qmrries in tho county are making money. It is true that the money is being put into machinery and improvements, but it is worth all that it costs in the end. The Adams quarry, which is one of the money makers, will have shinned about 500 car loads of stone this season, and the Huute:r about the same. Tho Empire quarry, located near the Adams, is now in active operation, and will be a payiug investment for its owners.

Adams, with one-twelftb owned by Buna. Rogers. The business is run by the Adams men just an they conducted their store : giving it their personal attention, each taking a department, and the same economy is observed that was displayed in their other undertakings, consequently there is less "soldiering" among workmen, loss destruction and waste of material, and the work is douo to a better advantage generally. To make a quarry pay it should be owned by not more than four persons, and these owners should give it their personal supervision,. There aro no end of leaks in tbe business as usually conducted.
