A WOMAN'S AWrUL PLUBOE. The busy passengers at the corner of Harrison and Clark streets at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon paused and held their breath seeing a woman leap from the fifth story of the Harrison House at that corner. She fell upon the hard pavement, and died before a physician could be summoned. Persons who witnessed the accideut were positive that the woman jumped from the window, and the conclusion was Instantly reached that it was a case of suicide. The lady was Mrs.

Mary Davis, the wife of a painter who was a boarder In the house. The couple have been living there for some time, having a room on the fifth floor, from the window of which Mrs. Davis leaped. There can be no cause for the snlcide, unless It be said that the deed was done in a fit of insanity, brought about by ill health. She has ten sick for a long time, and.

as her case was pronounced incurable, the fatal jimp may have been taken in a moment of desperation. The lull was so great that her life was literally out on the stone pavement, as the only Ikim found broken was one of the lower limbs. VARIOUS MEETINGS. TKE LA.tTNDB.YMEN.

Some of the members thought that as the plcnio was advertised to be given for the benefit of the society, that the society ahould have all the surplus revenue.

The case in brief Is that Jacobaon came to Dee some time ago and explained that he had a very fine thing in the way of a metal polish, which he could sell freely ana one Geo. rilgelow would manufacture, II tney could find a man with capital to go into tne scheme. Jaoobson exhibited orders to the amount of $6,000 or $7,000, part of which were afterward found to be genuine.

The manufacture of the stuff at once began, and Jaoobson succeeded in selling large quantities of it. it was not long Del ore iee discovered that he was collecting the money on the sales and making no returns to him. A legal proceeding was at once instituted, and Dee appointed receiver of the concern. This did not mend matters much, as Jaoobson still continued to sell the goods and collect.

Just the same as the peanut shells and orange peels tell the tale of the circus. The grounds looked bleak and bare yesterday after noon. The buildings are emptied of the various exhibits and so are all the pens, coops and stalls, with the exception of one exhibit of Alderney cattle of twelve or fourteen head, and six Here- fords. These for sale and the owner will probably dispose of them in a day or two. As for the rest of the State Fair only the empty buildings remain.

The tents and temporary buildings have all disappeared from the center of the ground. The agricultural implement people have lost no time in removing their stock from the fair, and the last loads were leaving the grounds yesterday at 4 o'clock.

ENGLISH LUTHERAN SYNOD. Progress of trie Gathering The) Next Meetins; to Be Held at ML Csrroll.

Special Correspondence of The Inter Ocean. Polo, DX, Oct. Ths English Lutheran Synod Is still In session at this place. There Is much important business being transacted in ths Interest of the church. The report of the delegates to ths General Synod of the United States of America, held at Springfield.

Ohio, last May( was of a very encouraging nature In regard to ths Christian work which this religious denomination Is doing through Its boards of horns missions, foreign missions, church extension, eta Friday evening the Rev. E. Brown delivered a discourse on "Education." The reverend gentleman spoke of scholarship as consisting of two elements learning sad culture. Learning Is the body of scholarship, while culture la ths Ufa While science furnishes the material, culture plans the structure of the edifice. Culture Implies: 1.

Sound discipline. In this consists the differ enoe between strong and weak minds. Ail things are possibls to a mind trained by- sound Culture without this element Is weak. 2. Acquired skill.

Practice makes perfect. Ac quired skill wins where natural genius and en dowments fall. It results from studious repeti tion. Habit is skill and becomes a second nature. 3.

Love of truth. It is this which gives to solid learning its value and dignity. 4. Charity and good will, which counts an men as Drotners. aristocracy Is the vice of narrow and uncultivated minds.

A large and cultivated mind la always dem-ocratia 5. Religious ejections and History and civilization have been molded by it. Knowledge without religion is capable of nntold evil. Education to be of value must be under the control of religion. Passions In themselves are not evil, but must be controlled.

It lifts man into a temple where the Holy Spirit presides. Our educational systems are defective. Mercantilism or money making is the controlling element of to-day, Strong men are trying to stem the tide. We all need to join hands in this movement.
