& Big Establishment. WHILE. OUR BUSINESS IK BLOOMINGTON HAS KEEN VERY SATISFACTORY", we desire of course to increase it, and a few words concerning1 our plant, and our facilities for doing g ood work, may enable us to attain the desired increase. IN THE, LAUXDRY DEPARTMENT, Onr work is marked by a superior floss and finish, the goods are washed clean, and we take more pain to keep the linen and underwear in repair than is attempted by any other Laundry in the entire country. We do this free of charge, and it has made us many friends and patrons. There are many reasons whvoar work should be first class; we use none but the latest and most improved machinery, and our operatives have the advantage of years of experience. If yon will givo us a trial we think you will be pleased with the result. Di THE DYEING DEPARTMENT We have one of tho most expert a-id artistic dyers in the profession, the advantage of all the latest methods in the coloring of garments, and the work we turn out cannot be beaten. In the dry cleansing of ladies and Gentlemen's Garments, a dyeing of ladies' clothing to sample, the cleaning and dyeing of Kid Gloves and Slippers, Feathers, etc., we have given much better satisfaction than can be attained by patronizing any of the celebrated dye houses of tho east. Our plant is larffe and complete in all details, and you are throwing away your opportunities if you want anything in this line and fail to give us a trial. In addition we have in our tailoring department a competent corps of assistants, who do all binds of repair work, such as re-lining, re-binding, etc, in the most satisfactory manner, at moderate jost, and on the shortest notice. AXTELLi UUOS. the popular clothiers and Rents' furnishers, are onr agents in Blooniington, and work for either laundry or dyeing department left with thcta will receive prompt and care ful attention.

University Extension in America, Under the above, caption, the

"Review ot Reviews for January 1 . , .- , 1 ' prints an Hjtorestmg and cxhausf. , -i17 , , tivc arhclv upon the work which is now attracting wide attention all over the I'luted States, though tho experimental efforts were lirst made as late as 18i0, in Philadelphia. The- article referred to is illustrated with excellent portraits of men who have taken a leading part in the university extension work, and among them are to bo seen the familiar faces of President Coulter and Dr. Woodburn. We quote from the 1 'Review of Reviews": A THK UNIVERSITY OF INDIANA, v The first University Extension center in Indiana was formed by a committee of the Uranch Association of Collegiate Alumna), of which Mrs. Mary Wright Sewall was Chairman. The work was organized in affiliation with the American Society, and in the spring of 18510 Dr, J. W. Jenks. then of Indiana University, gave a course of twelve lectures on "The Elements of Political Economy." The growing interest in Extension teaching' led the faculty of Indiana University to appoint in June. 1S!H, a committee on University Extension. In the fall of that year, courses were announced on a dozen different subjects, itnd during the year lectures were (riven by members of the faculty in Indianujlis, Evansville and New Albany, and in Louisville and Chicago, l'rof. James A. Woodburn. chairman of the Extension committee, and himself one of the most successful lecturers on the staff, reports courses as now arranged in Evunsville, New Albany, Jeffersonville, Indianapolis, Fort Wayne and Spiceland, and in Louisville, Ky., and in Chicago and Evanston, Ills. ' Six of these courses are double series of twelve lec tures, making in all 108 lectures. The centers vary in size from i() to 200 in the audience, 30 to 100 in the elass, and are mostly made up of teachers with from ten to twenty per cent, of others. Much of the success of the work is due to President John M. Coulter, who has himself lectured on botany, and con tributed much to the better organization of centers in the larger cities. PROP. J. A. WOODBURN. KENTUCKY ASD TEXXESSKK. In Louisville, Ky., University Extension found an early supporter in Dr. James Louis Howe of the Polytechnic ciocwiy. r or nearly twenty years lee tures have been given by the society somewhat on the University Extension plan. . Dr. Howe, havincr passed the summer of '01 in the study of the sys tem as oeveiopea in we JMist, entered actively upon a plan of Work which had been approved by the American Society s.nd gave lectures on chemistry in the Iiolyteehnic lecture room on Friday aficrnoons. uurjng tne r-"" vmter very successiui courses on nd litera ture were given t .1. M. Coulter and Prof. 'T 'I., i.... of the University of Indiana, under the direction of the Teachers' Association. Lat er in the year Dr. Edward W. Ueniis, men 01 vantterbilt University, gave a course on economics in Louisville, whieh was repeated at Bowling Green, rrankfort and Lexington, find also at JSvansville, Ind.. and Nashville, Tenn. University Extension courses are continued this year at Louisville with a fseries of twelve lectures 011 dramatic literature by Prof. Clark and a series of the same length on botany by President Coulter. y PRESIDENT JNO.
