Old Fashioned Scholar.

The Rev. William Sampson, who retired as superintendent of the Cleveland Industrial Home and School last fall after serving for twenty-five years, celebrated his eighty-seventh birthday on the 29th. A reception was held at the school in honor of the venerable guest, and about 125 friends called to congratulate him. Regrets were received from Secretary of State John Hay, Myron T. Herrick, and other prominent friends of Mr. Sampson.
