Comment And Stouy. I
John McClamroch: "I have just returned from Chicago where I saw
!Ben-Hur'
presented on the opening
right, and it was fine. I had to pay a dollar for standing room and they say that the house is sold for weeks to come. The costuming is very fine, and anyone who has read the book can tell all of the characters without looking at the programme, so fine and accurate are the costumes. The chariot race is particularly grand, and the audience evidenced its approval, such applause as I never heard before being given this part of the performance. Those who saw the play given In New York say that it is much better in Chicago than in the former place, and I wouldn't be much surprised, for everything looks like it couldn't be improved upon."
A liveryman: "This is the best year for liverymen that we have experienced in a decade. Each of my horses is doing the work of two, and I have really more business than I can attend to right. Everybody is working and has money and ODe of the pleasantest ways to spend it is in driving. All the young fellows are letting loose of their money for this diversion and they all want the best without regard to price. Old General Prosperity is camping right around here now in our business and that's no mistake."

He took up the idea that some pupils are overworked. He said that he had never heard of a single well authenticated case of overwork, but some supposed cases on investigation proved that the bad health of the pupil was caused by cigarette smoking, chewing gum and like bad habits which dissipate. "I believe," he said, "there are more innocents slaughtered by dissipation than overwork in the Bdhool room."

on down town was consid
ered. On Tuesday Rev. S. W. Goss opened the institute with devotional exercises, and the regular work of the day was taken up. The attendance was larger than on Monday and the interest, if anything, even more intense. Excellent work is being done and the institute gives every promise of being the most helpful in the history of the county.
Tuesday afternoon Prof. A ley continued his discussion on theory of mathematics, and censured kindergartens. He said in part: "T believe that the kindergarten, as it actually exists, is injurious to the school system when it finds its way into the school. There is too much play in such schools. A school should be a workshop. If it is not, it has no excuse for existing. I have seen schools in which there existed so much play during school hours that the pupile actually did not want to play at recess."

HOTEL BURNED DOWN.
Lamp Explodes and the Linden Hostelry Goes Up In Smoke.
The Linden hotel, kept by Mrs. John Vyse, burned to the ground Wednesday shortly after 7 o'clock p. m. The loss will amount to about $3,000, with insurance of $2,400, placed with Clements & Evans, of this city. The kitchen help was washing the supper dishes and in some unknown way the lamp exploded, setting fire to the whole oom. No men were about the house at the time, and before any could arrive the house was ablaze all over and it continued to burn until it was totally destroyed.

Promptly at twelve o'clock the bride and groom led the way to the dining room, where about thirty of their most Intimate friends and relatives followed them to the elegant dinner which Mrs. Wray had prepared. After all bad done justice to the dinner, the afternoon was spent with music and games. All left at a late hour, wishing them many more such happy days. X.
It Would Help Us.
The Pennsylvania railroad is figuring on purchasing the Eel river railroad, a short line running between Logansport and Butier, in DeKalb county, a length of 93 miles. The control of this line would give the Vandalia a straight line to Toledo, in connection with some other lines, and would have the probable effect of putting on some fast trains between Toledo and St. Louis. Crawfordsville would reap no little benefit by such action, and it is to be hoped that the Pennsylvania will be successful in their efforts.
