HOW CONSIDERATE.

The Democrat is in receipt of a long circular letter from the “Committee on • Public Press” of the Indiana State Dental Society. offering to furnish us with free plates of a series of articles on the care of the teeth, written by leading dentists. Of course the “movement” is . inaugurated solely for the benefit of the dear people and lhe dental society has no ulterior or personal interest in the matter.

The plates of these articles are very magnanimously furnished gratis for nothing to the newspapers that appreciate a good thing, and the letter states that “every publisher, so far. has gladly co-operated with us in this great moveemnt.” The “co-op- < ration,” of- .course, is to be absolutely free on the part* of the publisher of any cost to the society. Now while The Democrat doesn’t like to stand alone, yet here' is one publisher that will only “co-operate” in this •wholly disinterested “great movynent” except on a cash basis at full advertising rates. If any newspaper publishers are “falling” for this dope they ought tb have guardians appointed.

COLLEGEVILLE ITEMS.

The graduates have completed their examinations, and twentyeight students will be sent out this year with degrees or diplomas ready for their life’s work. The exciting drama “Under the Flag” which was so successfully rendered on the 17th of March last, was selected by the C. L. S. as the commencement play, and will again be presented in the college auditorium on Tuesday evening, June 13. No words of commendation can too strongly express the appropriateness of this selection. Dramatically the play is very strong, and its plot is well laid and developed interestingly and consistently. The whole-souled American trait of liberty and fair play is the predominating characteristic, and the drama invitingly appeals to all lovers of equality and a “square deal.” “Under the Flag” is a stage production that will satisfy any theater-goer; and the students actors, directed by Rev. I. Rapp, will present to their audience next Tuesday evening a performance as high in the scale of perfection as can be reachefl by youhtful amateurs. The citizens of Rensselaer and the surrounding country are kindly invited to. attend ; and entering into the spirit of the drama a very pleasant evening is assured.
