GIRLS’ SCHOOL OPENS AT THE MONNETT HOME.

Watts He Peyster School Welcomed Rensselaer Ladles Wednesday—• Splendid Address In Evening. The’ Watts de Peyster School for ‘Girls, which will this year have an attendance of thirty and which could have a great many more if there was was room to accommodate them, has started on its fifth year and the opening which was conducted Wednesday proved very interesting to all who attended and disclosed the splendid improvements made during the past year and also the devotion with which the ladies who compose the faculty have labored in the cause' of the little charges who are being educated by them and given the advantage of their splendid Christian influence. Wednesday morning Rev. W. G. Winn, of the Christian church, spoke in the chapel. His address was mainly to the young girl students and they pafd marked attention to'the encouraging things he said to them. In the afternoon a reception was tendered to the ladies of Rensselaer, who were received by the faculty in line and then shown about the building, which has been enlarged and remodeled and put into convenient shape for the greatly- enlarged . attendance. The young ladies who compose Mrs. A. A. Fell’s class at the M. E. Sunday school, acted as ushers. A musical program was rendered. Mrs. Delos Thompson played the piano and Miss solo and Miss Gladys Pierce sang a solo. All enjoyed it. Refreshments were then served in the large new dining room. The ladies remained for some time and engaged in conversation. All found Miss Findley” and the other members of the faculty and Mrs. Schwind, the national secretary of the deaconess society, very interesting. The improvements to the building will make it possible to do much better work this year than heretofore. The large school room, the large dining room, the new dormitories, the enlarged kitchen, and the many changes have made the home much better from every point of view and the faculty is taking great delight as also are the people of Rensselaer who have aided at times in the movement to widen the sphere of possibility for the school. One of the rooms in the school has been completely furnished by ladies of the Wolcott M. E.'Church. It would do those who contributed a great deal of good if they could visit the home and see how cheerful is the room they have furnished and to know how graciously their aid received. It should be an inspiration to others to give similar aid: Wednesday evening at the M. E. Church Mrs. Schwind delivered an address entitled “Earth’s Hurt and Marred.” Reciting the scripture which says that “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one Of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me,” Mrs. Schwind declared that if any person has received anything from anybody they are indebted to everybody and that they-should not be contented until they are busy settling the debt. She told of he hurt and marred of earth and proved how easily many of the defaced things of earth can be cured by kind words, kind deeds and the influence of Christ’s life reflected through those who seek to do his will. Mrs. Schwind gave many illustrations that have come to her notice as a worker in the slums of the cities and showed how responsive many people are to encouragement. She made it clear that it was not necessary to seek large fields of endeavor, but that it was easy to find good things to do ip our every day lives. The hurt and the marred are all about us. Their Ivies may be bettered if we sacrifice our own pleasures and rid ourselves of selfish habits. She spoke briefly of the work of the Monnett home, where the little girls are given Christian educations and every safeguard thrown about them to prevent their lives being marred by the thoughtless and careless ones. Mrs. Schwind’s address was heard by only a limited number,* the intense heat doubtless having kept many away. It would have been well if every person in Rensselaer could have heard it and the worthy cause of education of the girls who attend the school should have caused many more to have attended the service at the church. Misses Wilda Littlefield and Lura Hal leek each sang solos. Revs. Harper and Winn offered prayer and in every respect the meeting was helpful and instructive. Not all of the thirty pupils are here yet, but that number nave been enrolled and all will be here by the first of next week. We seli the Superior disc diHL

JOE REYNOLDS MARRIED IN CHICAGO WEDNESDAY.

Former. Newspaper Man, Believed to be a Confirmed Bachelor, Succumbs to WOes of Cupid. :-- - ( Joe Reynolds, who was believed to be immune from the attacks of Dan Cupid, has at last surrendered to the little god of love and at the Hyde Park hotel parlors in Chicago Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock in the presence of only a few friends he made Miss Bessie Durant, of New York, his bride. The ceremony was performed by Judge Jesse Baldwin. For some time Joe has made his home at the Hyde Park hotel and himself and bride will remain there for about three weeks before beginning housekeeping. Joe kept his approaching marriage a profound secret and his mother, Mrs. S. R. Nichols, of this city, did not know of it until she received a brief “night letter” telegram this morning informing her that he had broken all records and become a benedict. Joe does not go into particulars to say just what he meant by breaking all records. Whether he meant brevity of courtship or the value of the prize Is not stated, but it is surmised that the latter was the meaning. They say that love is like measles, a fellow never gets it bad but once and tile older he is when he has it the worse he has it. Joe Is hitting it up toward forty and ‘he probably has a case of love so fiery that it would ake an ordinary love’ affair look like an iceberg. Joe will come to Rensselaer Saturday evening with his bride and will spend Sunday with his mother, and his many friends here will have an opportunity to give him their best wishes. Joe was for some years a newspaper man. About three years ago he began work as* a salesman for the J. W. Butler Paper Go., of Chicago He has received a number of promotions and is now one of the leading men in that big concern, being one of the buyers and spending considerable time in New York and the east. He has been acquainted with Miss Durant for several years.

First Dance of Season to be Given at Armory Tonight

The young men in charge of the big dance to be* given at the armory tonight, have completed arrangements for receiving their guests. It is understood that electric fans will be installed in the Jefferson Club rooms and the Blysian Club quarters and possibly in the armory. The music will be furnished by the Douglas (colored) orchestra, of Indionapolis, whose music proved so popular on other occasions here. A big crowd from Kentland is coming over and together with the large turnout that is expected from here, the dance should be a great success. In spite of the hot weather, most of those receiving invitations have signified their intentions of going. Marshall . French, of Chicago, is visiting I. F. Meader and family, in Union - township.
