"In sommer when the days were long" some genius who ought to be immortalized devised the American outdoor school It has grown and prospered till it has become a lever for improving and making happy and healthy a hundred thousand people every year.

Something classic and beautiful there is this thought of instruction under the trees and sky, by the waters, where the living green of the earth meets the eye, and the sweet, mysterious influences nature steal into man's soul and give him back what he lost when he left her for life in cities. So Socrates gave his beautiful thoughts to his followers; 80 all great teachers have imparted their wisdom to mankind- even to one who was greater than all the rest--in the open air, under the shadow of grand trees, with the birds and gentle wild creatures for company. In such spots as these the fevered unrest and agony of life drop away from us all. Here it is fitting we should hear the grand results of science, and here, accordingly, the teaching grows year by year wider and more far reaching. The most eminent specialists in different branches of learning now give instruction in the American summer school.

Every branch is brought within its scope, and those who derive most benefit from it are often teachers themselves, who thus use their bravely earned vacation in preparing themselves still more thoroughly for their single one of these Chautauqua summer circles is a mentioned at which 600 teachers are in attendance. The armies of Europe are adopting new rifles throughout. They are smaller and lighter than the old, are used with smokeless powder and will send a smaller ball further than the old guns did. One of these new guns. which will carry a ball two miles, has been presented to the United States war department with the compliments of the British secretary of war.

A friendly message is engraved upon the silver mounted case which contains the rifle. It is to be hoped that these new British rifles will never bring any other than a ly message to us. The discovery of the spores or germs in the air that fasten upon a wound and cause inflammation, the additional discovery that there are a antiseptic dressings which will prevent these spores from reaching the wound, and thus prevent fever and enable the injury to heal directly, is probably the greatest achievement in surgery in the latter half of the Nineteenth century. One day little Spanish concluded a they are at nail, and assassinating never have who want killed, there come reports that the American republics have solemn peace, the next that it again, fighting tooth and engaged in their old trade of presidenta They will steady peace till all the men to be president have been apparently. Would it not be strange if electricity abould work a revolution in the fishing industry, too? It was first discovered by scientific men engaged in studying submarine life that when an electric light was lowered into the water inside of a Asb net a great number of fish were caught.

Fishermen are beginning to take advantage of this discovery. The verdict has been rendered that the electrio light has a great field in the fishing trade. It promises to do away with most of the present cumbersome and expensive outfits that the fishermen of the present find necessary. It looks as if the time might soon come when all a fisherman will need to do will be to fasten electric lamps inside his net and then row over the fishing grounds. By the aid' of powerful electric lights fixed up ahead of the bows of ships their lookouts are now enabled to see considerable distance even in a fog.

By means of this appliance the trip through the Suez canal, that used to require several days, has been shortened to twentyfour hours. The light enables the ing steamers to avoid collision. We are soon even for pany have streets of that propelled by derived from to have something new, America. A Pittsburg comcontracted to put upon the place and other cities cabs electricity.

Under the new silver law 140 tons month of that metal must be purchased by the Treasury Department. Recently in Wall street alone twenty-three tons were bought in one week.

Samuel Frye Dead.

From the Ohio Times. We are called to pay our last tribute of respect to Sammel W. Frye, who lived in New Haven township. Chicago Junction, Ohio, not far from Plymouth; 88 a neighbor and citizen had not only gained our esteem, but had long since won the confidence of his fellow men by his daily upright walk in life and the integrity which he ever maintained. Samuel W.

Frye was born in Followfield township. Washington November 27. 1817. At the age of 24 years, he left his native state, with its rocks. its hills and rugged mountains, in search of a new home, and on arriving in Huron county, 0., purchased land in New Haven township.

where he resided a number of years. On March 16, 1843, he was married to Miss Speer, of Washington by whom he had two children. A. M. Frye, of Miller, S.

D. Mrs. E. Jackson, of App'e Creek, Wayne His wife died Julv 14, 1848 and OD February 3d, 1852, he married Miss Maria Cuykendall. of Plymouth, two of whom Frank and Dor.

are still liying. In 1865 deceased purchased a farm in Richmond township, upon which he lived until removed by the relentless hand of death. For several months previous to his death his health had been on the decline and without a murmur he waited until his great change came, committing his soul to Him who is gracious and merciful. His death, which was not an unexpected event. occurred Thursday'Sept.

4, 1890, at the age of 72 years, 9 months, and 7 days. His wife. three sons an only daughter survive him, and in their sorrow and bereavement have the sympathy and prayers of kindred and friends. The funeral took piace Sunday Sept. 7 from the U.

P. Church, Chicago Junction, conducted by Rev. Helfrich, of Plymouth, assisted by Rey. Doty, after which the remains were interred in Greenwood Cemetery. Miss Taylor Dead.

The sad news reaches us to-day of tho death of Miss Eliza Taylor, daughter of Joseph Taylor, of Gilmore's landing, Webster side, of typhoid fever, in her 22nd year. The tuneral will take place at ten o'clock, Wednesday. Sept. 17th, from the Presbyterian church at Webster. Miss Eliza Taylor Was the onlv daughter.

and was a graduate of Calitornia Normal. She had been elected teacher at Gilmore's for the present term. Her death will be sad news indeed A lovable, bright, happy souled, pure christian girl, gone to be, not a teacher but a pupil at "the feat of the Great Teacher. Poisoned at a Wedding. On last Thursday evening Mr.

W. G. Berryhill, a merchant of Hickory, and Miss McCarroll, daughter Mr. William McCarroll, a prominent farmer. were united in marriage by Rev.

L. A. Alexander. Guests to the number of seventy were present, and all enjoyed the bountous wedding feast. Just before the hour for departure a number of the guests complained of feeling ill.

On their way home they rapidly grew worse and soon were deathly Some were not so seriously affected as were others. About forty of the guests exhibited signs of having been poisoned Nobody has any as to where the poison was, unless it was in the fruits taken from the cans. The three physicians of Hickory had been to the wedding and they too were stricken and were unable to render any relief to their suffering townsmen. The bride was also a sufferer. It is said all will pull through, though a number are still suffering and not by any means out of danger.

The great probability is that most, of these poisoning cases come so calied extracts" used in puddings. These tracts are mostly villianous drugs. Elizabeth's Graduates. From the Elizabeth Herald. Elizabeth High School graduates are coming to the front as teachers in this vicinity.

Besides those in our borough schools, the following are teaching at the places named: Misses Martha Taylor at Bunola, Maud Boyd at Franklin.

Miller at Elkhorn and M.

L. Wright at Jones. A birthday party was given to Miss Mamie Woods Young Saturday evening being the occasion of her tenth birthdav. Several of her young friends gathered and enjoyed the pleasant evening. Master Bob was the only young man present, and he "did the gallant." received several valuable presents and keep-sakes from many friends.

Joseph Rider of Fallowfeld is in town to-day. He has not been a frequent visitor of late. as his mother's illness and death in the family has required his devoted attention for many months.

To all intending users of the Electric Light In order to hurry forward the installing of Elec tric Light in business and ether houses, and as an inaucement to an early decision on the part c1 prospective customers, we have been offering and contracting to furnish the necessary labor and material for open or cleated wiring, for the sum of two dol ars per lamp while the actual cost to us is from one. half to ene and a half dollars over this price This being the case and considering that the light will be metered and charged for ually used, with but a small margin of profit, we have thought beat not to extend our present offer of $2,00 per lamp, beyond the 30th day of this month, and to make all contracts dated on or after October ist. at such rates and prices as will cover the actual cost of the material and labor. It is to be hoped that our rates. rules and practices as compared with companies in other cities and towns, who nave or did adopt the custom of wiring without will be clearly comprehended, for while we meter the current used, and expect to have the lamps as placed with our customers.

a ver. age say forty cents per month, the other companies made the consumers contract to them certain fixed rates monthly, and these rates averaged about eighty cents per mouth. It is not diflicult to see that the difference of forty cents between what we hope to receive, and what the other companies do receive will, pay for the wiring more than twice in one year. We urge all who intend to use the light to estiriate the number wanted and make their contracts before the end of September. large number of orders are already on Ale, and We must do the work in regular order, hence to be served early is to be early on the list.
