A SUCCESSFUL ENTERTAINMENT.
Many Friends Aid the Lyceum in n Sub
stantial Manner.
The Milford Lyceum Association
may well congratulate themselves
on the good friends they have found
in Mr. and Mrs. Frank Crissman, of
the Crissmnn House. As had boon
all along anticipated, the supper
given for the benefit of the Associa
tion at this popular hotel, on Thurs
day evening, November 19th, was a
decided success. Handsome pre
parations had been made for the re
ception of guests, and the friends of
(ho Association rallied in good force
to show their appreciation.
Interest in the affair was widened
by the co-operation of the Chau
tauqua Circle. Many ladies of this
circlo served as assistants in the
dining room, and others the younger;
ladies, as a reception committee in
the pnrlor. The financing outcome
is the sum of seventy-six dollars and
thirty cents, with more in prospect.
In this amount are included a
number of substantial donations,
some of them as high as ten dollars,
and among the donors special men
tion should be made of Mr. John
Baldwin, Hon. G. S. Purdy, Presi
dent Judge of this Judicial District ;
Mrs. Doughty, and Mr. Cornelius
Movers.
For the results attained, great
credit is duo to Mrs. Crissman, who
was entrusted by the Board of Di
rectors with the entire management
of the affair, and who amply vindi
cated the confidence thus shown.
Especially happy was her turning
for help to the Chautauqua Circle of
which she is a highly valued mom-
her. Mrs. J. J. Hart proved an able
assistant in many ways.
This is now the fourth instance in
which the Crissman House has come
to the help of tho Association in
time of need, and it. is in no small
degree duo to its thoughtful gener
osity that the directors have beon
able to persevere in their work and
to keep the Reading Room open
from yoar to year, though under
neath all is the kindness of Mr.
James W. Pinchot in giving the free
use of the library building.
From funds already in tho trea
sury, the amount raised at tho sup
per con probably be increasod to
100, for tho pnrehaso of books. A
splendid foundation has been laid
for a now library, by a gift from
Mr. Frederick Beaulo, of Appleton's
New American Encyclopedia, in 16
volumes. Others have also made
valuablo contributions of books.
Tho recont fire has crippled us j it
certainly has not proved a fatal blow
to our enterprise. Director.
Football EijwniM.
Two great footlxill games were
played last Saturday, one in Phila
delphia and ono in New York. The
estimuted gross receipts of tho two
are about 105.000. Probably this
sum is equal to the income for a
year in any of tho smallor colleges,
and perhaps not over four or Ave in
the country receive more. Much
could bo suid in the advisability
from several stand points of foster
ing athletics at such a cost. Stu
dents need exercise, but is tho sys
tem of training now doomed nee. s-
sary for these games, and the vast
outlay of money for expenses in the
training, beneficial to the student
physically, morally or mentally ?
Does this department of liberal edu
cation pay ? Many studonta feel
obliged to spend considerable sums
in atteudonco at the games, and all
this has a tendency to inculcate ex
pensive habits, and perliaps lead to
excesses not wholesome to genoral
morality or conducive to solid learn
ing. There will be a toning down
of these things shortly and they
will be conducted in a more modor
ate way, and one more beneficial to
the genovul educational welfare of
the student.

SUGAR FROM HONOLULU.
Arrangements Made for Shipping lArge
Cargoes to This Conntry.
Arrangements have jn.-tboen com
pleted for the shipment from Hono
lulu to tho Delaware Breakwater
for orders of upwards of 25,000 tons
of sugar. This arrangement was
mode necessary through the failure
of the Culwin crops, and the immense
consignments are exjiectod to ar
rive here early in the Spring.
Thechorters wore reported yos-
terday of the American clipper ships
Benj. F. Packord, Indiana, E. B.
Sutton, Reaper, W. F. Babcock and

Honolulu for the Delaware Break
water lor orders, and other chorters
of the kind will now be made.
About this time last year a fleet of
American ships was token tip for the
same business, and until that time
sugar was rarely brought here from
that distant port.

Voting For Postmaster.
In Indiana the Congressmen pro
pose that each town shall determine
for itself who shall be postmaster
by a popular vote for the candidates.
This plan while it might not result
in the most fitting selection, would
have the advantage of giving the
people their say, and taking the ap
pointment out of the hands of a few
politicians, who are apt to bestow
the office simply as a reward for
party service.
Don't Forget the Farmers' Institute.
Remember the Farmers' Institute

A very pleasant and successful
program was rendered before the
friends and patrons of that depart
ment on Wednesday. The youthful
actors under tho management and
training of their teacher, Miss Lila
Van Etten acquitted themselves in a
very creditable manner. Tho songs
were excellent the recitations felici
tious, and each vied with the other
in rendering their parts to the satis
faction of tho audience. Such ex
hibitions are both pleasing and' pro
fitable1, tending to inspire a confi
dene in the children creating a
healthy emulation, and at the same
time teaching them lessons they will
never forget ; begetting within them
the foundations upon which to build
a broader and more useful life, and
transplanting in their little minds
memories which will grow brighter
in the comirg years. Tho room was
tastily decorated, and the whole af
fair was in harmony with its design

A New Cliaiiilca Wheel.
A jeweler in Philadelphia has in
vented a wheel which differs wholly
from the chainless wheels with
bevel gear, and is a decided novelty.
The gearing in this is direct. A
well made tool-steel cog wheel ten
inches in diameter is attached to the
crank axle. In line and back of this
is another of tho samo kind which
meshes in a much smaller cog wheel
attached to the axlo of the rear
wheel. A race has tried the ma
chine and made one-third of a mile
in 39 seconds. He thinks with prac
tice he could make phenomenal
time.
Flection Contests.
