by Miss Luh Li taker to a
large audience who bad come out to
be present and encourage tbe pupils
in their efforts.
Tbe exercises consisted of decla

burlerq ltd. The declamations and
recitations were of the highest order
aud well rendered. Tbe dialogued
and burlesques were humorous and
elicited much mirth. Tbe burlesque

was a killing feature and simply
brought d )vn the house.
The pi tic-pints performed their

I notice in the Baltimore Sun that
a man in your city professes to eat
glass, screw.', knife blades and the
like. The San fays that the med
ienl f iculty fiimined the man and
could not account for his digestive
power. Once, when I hnppeded to
be at Charleston, 8. C, just such a
person was on exhibition. A prom
inent deatist end hia father-in-law
an emioeut physician, had a warm
uifputo abeiut ILe roan. The drn
Hut declared that be had txamined
he pbericnunon and could nol
account for bis feats. lie wos
however, sa'ihed thit they were
genuine. Tbe old doctor substan
tially said: ' My eon, no man can
take such things into his stomach
aud live I am conGdent of that.
There is some trickery on his part
aud delusion on yours." The den
tist was not oonviDCsd. He bad ad
uimistered the glass fragments and
ee n them diefppenr. The txplana
tiun, I am infoinird, is this: The
p?if ortier is a professional eword
swallcwer, lie couciils a tube in
his lower throat and i".it a particle
of glara rnters his stomach. This
will probably folve tbe apparent

-WARMING.
We wish to caution all users of Simmons
Livor Regulator on a subject of the deepest
interest and importancn to their health
perhaps their lives. The sole proprietors
aud makers of tjimmons Liver Regulator
learn that customers aro often deceived by
buying and taking some medicine of a
similar appearance or taste, believing it to
be Simmons Liver Regulator. We warn
you that unless the word Regulator is on
the package or bottle, that it is not Simmons
Liver Regulator. No one else makes, or
ever has made Simmons Liver Regulator, or
anything called Simmons Liver Regulator,
but J. If Zeilin &Co., and no medicine made
by anyone else is the same 9 We alone can
put it up, and we cannot be responsible, if
other medicines represented as the same do
not help you as you are led to eipect they
will.- Bear this fact well in mind, if you have
been in the habit of using a mdicine which
you supposed to be Simmons Liver Regula
tor, because the name was somewhat hke
it, and the package did not have the word
Reaulator on it, you have been imposed
upon and have not been taking Simmons
Liver Regulator at all. O The Regulator has
been favorably known for many years, and
all who nse it know how necessary it is fcr
Fever and Apue, Bilious Fever, Constipa
tion, Headache, Pyspeneia, and all disorders
irismg from a Diseased Liver.
We ask you to look for yourselves, and
See that Simmons Liver Regulator, which
you can readily distinguish by the Red Z
on wrapper, and by our name, is the only
medicine called Simmons Liver Regulator.

THE INAUGURATION.
riuo OayInunenae I'row -The Oalli
Admlnmiered-f he Addreaa.
The inauguration of Prendent
McKinley was a success in every
point of view Thursday.
The day wag faultlessly fine, the
orowd was immense, the prooe"ion
was imposing, but most of all, the
President displayed broad states
manship conservative but progress
ive views and inspired the bepi of a
wise administration.
The oath of oCLe vas di'.arcd
by Chief Justice Fuller when the
President delivered his iinncjral
address which was brief bu' 'ery
able? and to the point.
On tin one greut ques'ion of
financial reform the President would
h-ve a commission of the most rep
uted financiers of all parties to de
liberate and formulate a system of
national finances that would com.
mond itself to the wisdom of Con
gress, and that wonld give us rost on
this score.
The President is essen'ially Re
publican on the tariff and no real
improvement is protnitel on that
line.
Lynchings are denounced. Trusts
are to be checked; immigration of
improper subjects should be well
guarded against; civil service refon.i
is indorsed, and a restoration of our
ocean -carrying trade ia advocated.
Washington's great policy of avoid
ing entangling alliance with other
nations, nonxinterferences with their
affairs is strongly urged, while
American citizens should be duly
protected.
He strongly favors and urges the
arbitration treaty before the Senate.
The President feels the necessity
of settling the tariff policy at the
earlieit practical moment and calls
an extra session of Congress for tbe
15th inst.
His congratulations of the coun
try for fratsrnity and gcod will may
strike one as desirable rather than
real.
In hu peroration he invoked Di
vine aid for the faithful execution
of the solemn oath of his otlice.
Failed to Help BU Man.
Hon. McMillen, of Tennessee,
made some sharp striotures ia the
House recently against Justice
Shiras on the late campaign charge
of suddenly changing his mind on
the income tax.
Hon. Dalz9ll, of Pennsylvania, on
Tuesday, made a spirited defense of
the Judge and deolared that he did
not change at all and asked the
Democrats on behalf of the pnrly in
the lute campaign to retract tbe
charge, whereupon, McMiiien bied
Dalzell as spokesman for Judtic
Shiras to dare to deny that the
Judge did change when Dalzell elisi
avowed the spokesmacship of Justice
Shiras. Dalzell seems to haya got
ten left.
Ho Read It and couldn't Do With
nt It.
Mr. R A Barrio ger, an iodustrous
and hard working farmer of the
Cold Springs section, was in town
and was was solicited by a reporter
to become a subscribor for the
weekly Standard. Mr. Barringer
did not subscribe at the time, Low-
ever, but started on his way home
Soon after be left the reporter left
for tbe country also and caught up
with Mr. Barringer about four miles
from town. The reporter was not
after Mr. Barringer to again solicit
him or compel him to become a
subscribor, but it just happened
that he was going the sanjt way
that's all. Enough had been done.
Before leaving town asample oopy
had been given Mr. Barringer and
evidently on the way he bad been
reading it, for when tbe reporter
caught up Mr. Barringer said,
"Please put my name on your sub
scription list. I can't do without
it." Mr. Barringer, your name,
with many others, now adorns our
subscription book and The Stand
ard will visit you once a week.

One of the last acts of President
Cleveland was to veto tbe emigration
bill. Congress promptly pass d the

Two Good Rules. First, never to
vex ourselves about what we cannot
