Success of the Home Studj Circle The Pittsburg- Dispatch. The summer term of the Home Study Circle conducted by the Pittsburg Dis patch will oj>en Wednesday June 1. This feature of the Dispatch has already scored a marked success, adding to the popularity of the greatest newpaper be tween New York and Chicago. The course will lie entirely new one compris ing architecture for general readers pop: ular astronomy, biography studies of the worlds scientists, health and hygiene, with an intenesly interesting course in literature. Examinations will be con ducted as a basisof granting certificates. Tbe expense of the Houie Study f'ircle, conducted as it is. by the leading edu cators of the country, is very heavy, but it is all borne by the"Dispatch. All that students need to follow the course is a copy of the paper each and every day. Be sure that The Dispatch is delivered to you regularly beginning not later than .Tune 1 Samantha at Saratoga, in a New Dress. One of tbe funniest of all the funny books is certainly "Samantha at Sara toga."

Judge .Tames A. Beaver of Pennsyl vania fainted last Thursday afternoon during the delivery of his address on The Presbyterian Church and the Peo ple.'' at the Westminster celebration in the Auditorium at Winona Lake, lud. it was noticed that the general was lab oring hard from the start. He had al most reached the conclusion of his ad dress when his yoice faltered ahd he showed signs of collapse. Stated Clerk Rev. Dr. W. H. Roberts sprang to his side and supported him With wonderful pluck the speaker finished the sentence on his lips, aud then fell to the floor. The audience was almost stampeded, bnt the choir leader stcuck up Ameri ca'' and the majority resumed their seats. Physicians who were present took charge of Gen. Beaver, but not until he had recovered sufficiently to be removed from the hall could the excite ment be allayed. Some were present who had witnessed the death of Judge Breckenbridge on the platform of the assembly at Delroit in 1892, and natur ally visions of that scene came to their minds. The general was resting com fortably that night and no serious re sults were apprehended. Nearlv 5,000 persons were on the grounds" that day, attracted by the cele bration. and Winona wore a picnic air. The auditorium was packed at ever}' session, and the heavy artillery of the Presbyterian church thundered all day. Such an event happens only once in two and a half centuries. The opening was ii.tpressive. At the first call the moder ator's new historical gavel, flew into fragments, one of the largest of which decended on the head of a Philadelphia newspaperman It is alleged he was to slow tn remove his head from its path. After this incident everything worked smoothly under an ordiuary everyday gavel. \imuiil Meeting of tlie Women's Missionary Association of Butler l'resbytery. GROVE CITY, Pa. JUNE 7. 7:80 P.
