His Telephone Poles Cut Down by an
Angry Woman.
For some time there has been very bitter
fight wagipg in our neighboripg town Of
Xenia, between property holders and the
telephone company on sccount OF the erection
Of poles in front Of certain residences where
they are regarded as nuisances.
On Saturday morning it became eviden,
that during the night the company had stolen
march and erected the poles at the points
where it was known that the opposition
would be strongest, which happened to
be in front OF the residence OF
the widow Of a former well known and
highly respected citizen Of Xenis.
What did the angered woman do but hiie
q colored man to chop two of the poles dow 0
she promising to stand between the chopper
and the law.
This action seems to have dumfounded the
telephone company. OF which Hon. John Lit
tie Is president, and while the widow au-
nounces her determination to fight it out to
the bitter end, Mr. Little says to newspaper
reporter:
We have perfect right, under the law, to
condemn q right of way in front of those
residences. but we do not wish TO cause sny.
oody trouble We shall sccommo odats the
lady in any way that is practicable, but we
must get our line out o. the city or close the
exchange. Our instructions to the linemen
were to place the poles at the outer edge of
the gutter, but they could not dig the holes

t,es Of Teaching.
An extremely interesting and profitable
exercise In the institute programme has been
arranged to be participated in during the last
halt hour Of each day. II will consistin geu-
eral OF discussions OF questions Of the theory
and practice Of teaching. The discussions
will be introduced by the reading OF lectures,
or PARTS of lectures, after which the
topics suggested IN them will be
| generally discussed by any or all teachers
present and desiring to speak.
Yesterday evening Superintendent White
read the introduction to DR.. Payne's lectures
on education, and part OF the first lecture OF
that work in the hearing OF the institute,
| French writer quoted n the introduction held,
aud was much scoffed in his early day for
holding, that one may teach what he
does not himself know. This is de-
| ducton from the definition of teaching, that
| II is causing to know-set,ng the mind
| of another upon lines Of thought by which
he will himself acquire knowledge. Eiuca-
ton, according to DE-. Payne, in It's most com
1 w
all the enviropng conditions ana influences,
the teaching, and other means Of acquiring
aud utilizing knowledge, which makes man
what he is.
Nature gives one only certain elementary
facts of knowledge without any motive fol
improvement. Therefore, the sphere OF ouI
more restricted education is that OF a con-
scious training, utilizing the desultory
and unsys,ematic educational forces
with which man is born, to definite pur.
pose in bis Intellectual development. These
points were commented and enlarged uf on ir
general discussion OF few minutes.
The session this morning was opened by
singing, and devotional exercises conducted
by DR.. Maray, OF High street NJ. Z. church
of this city. A number of new names we-t
added to the list of membership, making
total of more than eighty. This is quite
good for Clark county, better, in fact, thar

N. Y. SUN: 1t is surprising that the
Republicans have waited so long to pro.
claim that the present general depression
in business is attributable to their defeat
at the recent election. The cry was
raised on Saturday in Congress, when
Mr, Horr declared that the business
troubles Of the country were mainly due
to distrust of the Democratic party. He
might just as truly say that distrust OF
the Democratic party made the wind
blow fifty miles an hour the other day,
or caused the destruction Of Long Is.
