Tidioute News: The Commissioners of
this county are erecting a building Just
back of the jail to bo furnished with a lot
of handy hammers and fixtures with
various piles of stone, which is to be
used as a tramps' recreation ground and
gymnasium. In other words the Com
missioners propose to utilize the energies
of the road agouts who tramp this county
and in most instances insolently demand
food and lodging. We presume instruc
tions will bo issued to the dillorent jus
ticos and constablos, but this will be about
the method. A tramp arrested and taken
before a justice will be committed
to Warren whore he will be furnished
food and lodging, but will have to pay
for it iu stone work. And that particu
lar tramp won't tour this way again. In
about two months a tramp In Tidiouto
would be a curiosity if prompt arrests
and conviction were made. And sue
arrest and conviction would do the tramp
no injustice. He pays iu work for his
daily sustenance, and that's what we all
have to do. If the tramp is worthy he is
willing to earn his living. If unworthy
than he should be forced to do so. W
are pleased at this action of the Commis
sinners. And we only hope that Boro
authorities will do their full duty iu the
premises.

A well known cleigt'tnan says that
Geo. W. Oles' touch "makes tho violi
alive, and puts into the (unearthly
bodv an unearthly soul. The
instrument in his hands is simply
voice for eveiy passion, sentiment and
emotion ot the human soul. Or, if
will have it so, it bouomes an echo of a
of nature's tones, the winds souuhin
through tho trees, while the birds are
sinuiug in the branches, the brook le
warbling cloe by, and Niagara roarin
in the distance."

every pillar and pout. A picture of the late
Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. Mary A.

Crnsade Bible, and the audience joined in
singing, "Hock of Ages," a Cruade hymn,
led by Mrs, Harris, of Boston. Prayer was
offered by Rv. Francis E. Towxley. Miss
Willard made a touching reference to her
mother, "Oh for the touch of a vanished
hand and the sound of a voice that is still."
Also to the life and work of Mrs Wood

her own sweet way, as only she can do. We
then listened to the annual address 1 will
