The mention last week should have read Mr. not M>s. Chase, Mrs. Chase has managed, so far, to enjoy good health though doing more work, and to com­ pare the manner is not necessary, than many women many yeara her junior. Ed. Robbins is teaching a very satis­ factory school at Terra Cotta.. He re­ cently had an old fashioned spelling school that got up a good deal of interest in the neighborhood. We believe if more time were spent at the spelling book, readers and geographies and less squan­ dered, by pupils of immature years, on civil government, etc. there would be a marked improvement in the schools. On Thursday of last week we were shown a very beautiful picture, wood­ land scene, painted by Mrs. G. W. Smith, formerly of this place. It was a Christ­ mas gift to her sister-in-law, Mrs. Adrian ! wan, of Elgin, and is one oi the few first class paintings the writer has seen, the production of a non-professional. We learned there too, that Miss Marion Smith is teaching her first term of school at a handsome salary, aud that the effort is equal to thecompensation. Misp Marion is a teacher chosen by nature and there is no such thing as failure in her case. In our letter of last week some of '98's improvements were forgotten, or omitted, chief among which was a report of Howard Waterman's new house and appropriate farm buildings just south of E. T. Chase's Mr. Waterman has a very beautiful home and is known as a "hustler" among our people. Then, the improvements of J. W. tirimulby and John Pint were not mentioned though it was our intention to do so. Each of the painted house and barn and made other imgrovements worthy of mention. W. Ladd very materially im proved tbe appearance of his premises south of the blacksmith shop and Mr. Lumleyletthe light upon Main St. by cutting out the maple trees which grew on the north side of his lot. The Ceme­ tery was the b<-st kept of any near here except the one west of town knpwn as the Harrison Cemetery which is always in excellent condition. And there are other matters of this kind, perhaps, that we should mention, but which we shall leave for another time. From » Woman For Woman. The Corcoran Scientific school of the Columbia university, Washington, has just received a gift of $2,000 to found 'ft scholarship for women. The name of the donor is unknown, the gift being simply accompanied by the statement that it was "a donation from a woman, in mem­ ory of a woman student of science, to be used fo? jwnpfit nf of sciencc." Although tho Cuimuau Sci­ entific school has opened its doors to women equally with men since its foun­ dation and has graduated women who have distinguished themselves in the ex­ act sciences, this is the first recognition it has received. THE Ladies' Willing Workers Society will meet with Mrs. E. M. Owen, on Thursday afternoon of this week. MRS. JOHN I. STORY, President. MRS. W. A. CRISTY Secretary. 'm A . F THE Willing Workers Society are mak- l J j % ing arrangements to get up a course of ^ >5 four lectures with such talent as Rev. , Frank W. Merrill, the celebrated Preach- , ert Traveler and Lecturer, Rev. Theodore L J ; Clifton, Rev. C. H. Fraser, and one other ^ whose name we do not remember. These Lectures will be highly interesting and we hope the ladies may' he successful in getting them up. We shall speak mora thm la the futon. I WISH in this public manner to express my thanks to the friends who were so kind to us during the late sickness of Mr. Hubbard. J can assure you, one and all, that your kindness was duly appre­ ciated. MRS. ELISHA HUBBARD. SCHOOL ELECTION. There will be a special school Election in School District No. 2, for the pprpose of voting on tbe question of a change of site, on Saturday, January 13th, 1894, at the City Hall. The Polls will be open from one to five o'clock p. M. Every voter in the District should come out and by the ballot express his opinion in this matter. Remember the date, Satur­ day, January 13th. We send the PLAINDEALER this week to all of our old subscribers and ask them to look it over carefully and speak a good word for us if it meets their approv­ al. To those who have dropped since we soldwout we would say we would be glad to again receive your subscriptions. We have come back to stay and will do our best to give you a paper that will be worthy of your support. At least our best efforts will be put forth to that end. MIKE SHUOAREAU, a worthless individ­ ual who has been hanging around this vicinity for the past few years, was found asleep in the barn of Michael Doherty, south of this village, and beside him lay a sack in which were eleven chickens, which he had stolen and killed. He was arrested and brought before E quire Mead, who bound him over to the Grand TPERE will be a honey and biscuit Fes­ tival at the residence of H. W.

SMITH has commenced the manufacture of miniature Ferris Wheels, at his Jewelry store in this village, and they are a real novelty to look at. Ho has one in his window that is run by clock movement and it is as perfect as anything can be. He also has a small Electric Motor, with which be runs his lathe, that is worth looking at. John P. is a genius, and there is nothing that he once sees but what he can make. It would pay any one to call at his store and see his Ferris Wheels.

The elegant, delicate necklets of fine gold and enamel which were worn 60 years ago or more are treasures now, for they are in fashion. The dials of the bracelet watches are often enameled red, and one of the most fashionable of ladies' hair ornaments is an enamel butterfly. The wings of this gorgeous insect are of white enamel, with markings given in different colored enamels and spots represented by large brilliants. The body is of emeralds or rubies.--Exchange. A Qwe«r Cnttom. • i^auribus fashion has found some fa­ vor in England. The hostess at an aft­ ernoon at home is supposed to feel suf­ ficiently odd, as the only lady in the room without a bonnet, that she had adopted the custom of wearing some head covering herself. As a looker on observes, it is rather a queer spectacle to see the lady of the house in a hat, receiv­ ing her friends, under her own roof.

The will of the late Mrs. Lucy Stone gives all her property of whatever de­ scription to Henry B. Blackwell, her husband, and Miss Alice Stone Black- well, her daughter, in equal shares. She requests them to hold and dispose of, in their discretion, for the use and benefit of the woman suffrage cause, all the un­ expended parts of any legacy or devise given her by will or otherwise^ Women Cranks Scarce. We seldom or never hear of a woman crank or lunatic rushing around and killing people. If a woman does commit a crime of this kind, she generally has a clearly defined motive. Despite the male opinion to the contrary, women are much better balanced than men are.-- Ex- ch&njjl. , ' ttootli m liltlpotiter. One story of Booth's trip to the Sand­ wich Islands remains with me. He had gone there in 1854 in company with his comrade, Mr. David C. Anderson, en route to Australia, and they were to play in the Royal Hawaiian theater. They had fiired a native to paste up the bills announcing the performance. This had to be done with a preparation named "poe-poe," made from a vegetable called "tara-tara," which is a favorite food in Honolulu, but the poor man was so hun­ gry that yielding to temptation he incon­ tinently ate up the paste, and to their surprise no bills appeared. When the reason was ascertained, they feared to trust another native, and ,it was there­ fore agreed that as Booth was the young­ er he should act as billposter, and it came to pass that every night'after the per­ formance Edwin went about the city with his play bills and bucket of paste and put up with his own hands the post­ ers announcing what the company would play on the following night. And he as­ sured me that he did this honestly and did not eat auy of the paste l--WiUiam Bispham in Century. Books cheap, nice bound only 90 and 25 cents at J. A. Story's.

I asked a very famous physician the other day if it was injurious! to chew guru--not that I do it--and he answered: "Yes and no." "Anyhow?" I inquired. "To chew gum for five or ten minutes after a meal is .absolutely beneficial," said he, "especially for hasty eaters, who do not half masticate their food, because the action of the jaws causes the gastric juices to flow, and that is good. But so few people can use and not abuse it. They get the gum in their mouths and keep at it till they fairly dry up the saliva sup­ ply, bring on a headache and get gener­ ally nervous. This will cause indiges­ tion."--New York Recorder. Never In Time. The late H. J. Byron had a horror of funerals, butw&s once prevailed upon to attend that of a fellow Bohemian. After waiting long at the cemetery entrance, he and his companions followed a fune­ ral into the chapel, and when {he serv­ ice was half over, discovered that it was that of a stranger. Their friend's fune­ ral had not come yet. "Ah," said Byron, "just like poor Bill --©ever in time!"--London Million. ' I Women at the Polls. "Do unmarried women possess the ballot in this country?" asked the Eng­ lish tourist. "Not to any great extent," replied the native. "In Wyoming women are al­ lowed to vote, and in a few other states they vote on school questions." "Don't they vote in Pennsylvania at all?' "No." "That's odd., I certainly heard some one speak of the maiden vote the other day."--Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. Velvet Shoe*.
