Connor, who is always a welcome visitor to our sanctum, has recently returned from the reunion of Confederate veterans at Houston, Texas, and he reports as having had a very enjoyable trip, both at the re union, in meeting old comrades and fellow Confederates and in seeing Texas, which perhaps never looked better than she does at present, on account of the abundance of rain, which seems to have prevailed every where. Among other places visited was the beautifully located, well equipped (Texas does nothing by halves, you know) and splendidly managed school for the deaf in Austin, the prettiest city in Texas, presided over by M. A: T. Rose, who, though comparatively a new man in the work, has already made quite a favorable impression upon the profession. Mr. Connor speaks in glowing terms of his entertainment during his two day’s visit, as each one seemed to vie with the other in making it pleasant for him. Here is what the Lone Star Weekly has to say of Prof. Connor’s visit. The Lone Star, published at Austin, says: “We had the pleasure of entertain ing Prof. Connor, superintendent of the Georgia school, last Tuesday and Wednesday. Mr. Wright, a young friend from Cave Spring, was with him. They had attended the great Confederate re-union at Houston,and then made a tour of several Texas cities, arriving here from San Antonio Mr. Connor has been connected with the education of the deaf all his ac tive life, with the exception of the years he spent in the war, and Is one of the substantial, well informed men of our profession. He is a genial and interesting companion, and a visit from him affords both pleasure and profit. Quite a number of his old pupils in Georgia are now resi dents of Texas, and they would be happy to shake him by the hand and talk over old times.” A Comforting Assurance. ‘ ‘Read the words of the Lord in the ears of the people in the Lord’s house upon the fasting day. ’ ’ When grief is laid upon an aching, burdened hears it is a fasting day with in the tabernacle of man. The inward springs of life is in the midst of the billows of the sea, the moanings of sorrow, the billows of grief are heaving high, but the blessed assurance, ‘‘they that mourn shall be comforted, ’ ’ is the throbbings of a power, a pledge, a glad light, a word, a glance or smile, so angel-like doth it seem. Have the white-winged angels passed to the great unknown your golden treas ure, your beautiful boy of radiant face and graceful form, sad mother ? Find comfort in the words of the Lord, and let your mind range the highest plain of thought upon thy fast ing day, amid the moanings of the blast. Bow in memory before that sacred shrine by time and place un changed through centuries of mental gloom. Be not discouraged; recall tbe words, ‘‘Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of God. ’ ’ Your heart and flesh may be fainting and failing, but your faultless boy is in the presence of his Savior, who de lights to have all parents seek for their children the blessings of His salvation. A. C. P. MARVELOUS RESULTS. From a letter written by Rev. J. Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich., we are permitted to make this extract: “I have no hesitation in recommend ing Dr. King’s New Discovery, as the results were most marvelous in the case of my wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist church at Rives Junc tion she was brought down with pneumonia succeeding la grippe. Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last with littlq interruption and it seemed as if she could not survive them. A friend recommended Dr. King’s New Discovery; it was quick in its work and highly satisfactory in results.” Trial bottles free at D. W. Curry’s drug store. Regular size 60c. and sl. An Ex-Roman Dead. The sad intelligence of the death of Dr. C. C. Fowler, which occurred in Monrovia, Cal., on May 27, has just reached Rome. Dr. Fowler is well remembered here, as he was very prominent socially and otherwise. His many friends here will be sorrv to learn of his death. BASE BALL. Thursday and Friday of this week.

THEIR ADMIRABLE ADYANCEMENT Displayed by Prof. Fortln’g Pupi'g During the Season with a Bright Future Before Them. Prof. Fortin had issued special in vitations to the music loving people of Rome, and there was a select audi ence to listen to the performance of his pupils. They displayed wonderful advance ment in their studies, and their per formance showed they had received the most careful training from the most competent teachers. The class is an unusually bright one, and the aptitude of the pupils in the acquirement of a knowledge of this delightful accomplishment, was most admirable. Where all were so excellent it would be hard to individualize or discrimi nate. The concert was a delicious treat to all who attended, and both teachers and pupils are to be con gratulated on their success. The program was as follows: Spindler—Polka Duet Misses Lucile Moses, Addle Taylor. Packer Austrian Folk Song Miss Monies Daniels. Eecher-,La SerenetaWalts Master Henry Stoffregan.

Arrangements are practically com pleted for tbe consolidation of Downer college at Fox Lake, Wis., and Mil waukee college, and establishing in Milwaukee in the near future a college for women second to none in this coun try. The combination will bring to the institution an endowment fun<i of $225,000 and otherwise vastly increase its stability and field of usefulness. There is every reason to believe the consolidation will be effected, in which case the head of the institution will doubtless be Miss Ellen A. Sabin, now principal of Downer college at Fox Lake. Some of the trustees of the Milwau kee college presented a plan, and it was practically settled that the union should take place before next fall There are two conditions: The Milwaukee college is to secure a site for the college build ings and grounds, and it is to raise an additional endowment of $25,000. With the consummation of the present plans it is likely the sites and buildings of both institutions at present will be sold and a new site seemed and built upon at some one of the many desirable points around the city.—Chicago Trib une. Equal to the Emergency. In the bonanza days drinking or even having the odor of liquor about him was enough to insure tbe dismissal of a mine station tender, engineer or other employee in a responsible position. One day Uncle John Mackay, as the miners called him, was riding down in the three decker cage with some friends when he began to sniff the air suspi ciously. “I smell w-whisky, ” he said at last, with his well known stutter. “There, ” exclaimed the station tender to one of his miner companions, “I told that d d barber not to put so much bay rum on my hair. ’ ’ —San Francisco Argonaut.
