New schemes are being continually devised. Among the latest Is that of having practical talks for men only, on Monday evenings, The experiment was tried the other night, and quite successfully, though without any previous preparation. A simple subject was selected—a lead pencil. and its com- ponent parts first discussed, cedar, rub- ber, the lead, the paint, the glue fasten- ing the pieces together, and each of these were taken up in turn, thus bring- ing out information concerning each and the manufacture of each. where the cedar came from, how the lead was made, the different kinds of rubber, the difference between black and white, hard and soft, etc., forming the basis of a very pleasapt and instructive conversa- tion and showing how little is generally known of the simplest articles of every- day use. To-night the ‘‘Matter of Fact Boys" as they are called meet agtin at the Y. M. C. A. rooms at 9 o'clock, for another hour’s talk.

As ho goes out of offise, anyway, In about two weeks, ana has to There has been various street' reports about Dr, Gieorge E, Brown shooting a man who attacked him at night on the streot. The facts as learned by Tne Bek from reliable sources are to the ef- fect that Dr. Brown was returning home at a late hour Friday night, and when near the Savings bank on Broadway three strangers, who had evidently been drinking, accosted him in a very rough manner and using filthy language, to which hemade some reply. As he reached a point near the Phwnix saloon one of the strangers headed him off, the advance made an attack upon him, strik- tug a blow which the doctor dodged, it merely grazing his lip, Dr. Brown, in view of the many recent attacks and robberies of citlzens cn the streets naturally thought it was tlme to protect himself, and pulling a revolver fired once, the ball hitting the fellow in the left thigh inflicting not a very serious wound, Taat seems to be about the whole of the eflair, concerning which several sonsational reports have been started The man thus wounded claima to be a barber by trade who arrived from Kansas City that very evening, and meet- ing a frivnd who is said work in the Pa- citic house barber shop was taking in the town, Whether the fellow really meant to rob De. Brown or not, does not appear, but in view of the recent affairs of this kind, it is very natural for citi zens to be on their guard, and ready to defend thomselves against any midnight attacks from anyone. The man who was thus wounded hed been acting 8o during the ovening as to attract the attention, and arouse the sus- make & final report then and aettlemont in full, it does not appear that it makes any great difterence, Rov: Mr. Crofts, of Sandwich, llinots, preached at the Cungregatioual church yesterday, both morning and evenicg Ta the morning he preached an excsllent sermon on “‘Faith.” His evening ser won was even more pleasing, and Tk | e Bee will present ite readers a report of picions of the police, who have been shadowing his movements.
