The evening session was opened with
music by Misses Cough, Pizer, Weinstein
and Evans, after which Miss Lydia Jen-
nings read Desprez's 'Lasca" in a way
which left nothing to be desired, and
thoroughly delighted her hearers with
all that happened ''1n Texas, down by
the Rio Grande."
After this. Territorial Superintendent
Logan delivered an address on the DO
sition of the public school teacher and
the duties of the school trustee, and tho
tax-paying citizen in their furtherance of
the cause of education. Space prevents
our giving the lecture entire and we feel
unwilling to spoil it by mutilated ex-
tracts. It was sound, logical and over
whelmingly convincing and full of
wholesome if somewhat unpleasant
truths.
Miss Wolfe, in few simple, we'll
chosen words, then thanked the people
of the town for the courtesy and interest
they had displayed, and then adjourned
the meeting, which brought to close
the most successful institute the county
has ever seen.

MONDAY SESSION..

MONDAY SESSION..
Miss Margaret Wolfe was elected to
the chair and T. B. Hammond as secre.
tary of the institute.
II. L. Rodgers, taking the place of D
". Durfee, who had been invited to
make the opening address of welcome on
behalf of the citizens of Phiipsburg, but
who was unable to be present, made a
edging the honor he felt in being per
mitted to address the solons and vel
coming them to the town in the name OF
it's citizens.
Chairman Margaret Wolfe then made
her opening speech, in which she defined
q good teacher as one who never failed to
be present on such an occasion as this,
where the advantages Of comparing
methods and progress, and the many de-
tails of practical instruction were in
calculable.
The first paper read was one upon
"Intermediate Arithmetic" by Mary
Mellan, in which she outlined a simple
and direct method of teaching the rudi-
ments of the study. She thought that
no branch Of the study was SO valuable
as an intelligence developer as fractions
nor SO beset with difficulties unless
properly taught. She commented upon
the fact that by reason of want of
grading and the necessity for 80 many of
the pupils leaving school to work during
the summer season, it was practically
impossible to turn out good mathema-
ticians from our public schools, and
limited at the wisdom of compulsory at
tendance. In discussion, Superinten-
dent Logan agreed with these views,
thought that the study Of intermediate
arithmetic was one Of the most impor-
tant, and urged simplicity in the meth
ods of teaching it. Valuable comments
were also made by Ladlie, Murphy,
White and Dodge, and recess was then
taken for ten minutes.
At the termination of the recess,
song was joined in by all present, after
which Miss Murphy read paper on
advanced Reading" in which she neatly
argued the inestimable advantages which
access to good literature conferred. The
paper was loudly .pplauded. In discus
sion, Greene thought that the schools
should he furnished with supplementary
reading, especially in the 3rd and 4th
grades. Logan thought reading sadly
neglected and that it should be taught
more in the schools and from books that
are more interesting than the average
textbook. Let a child be properly
taught reading and the desire for it and
he has mastered thorough education.
Miss Thompson next presented paper
on "School Discipline" finding it
necessary for a teacher to secure good
discipline, not by pleasing superinten-
dents and parents, but by acting to the
best of their ability and avoiding the in
justice of partiality. Good work is readi-
ly secured If properly attempted, and
without good discipline there is no good
school. In discussion, Dodge objected
to corporal punishment and did not ap-
prove of ever whipping a child, arguing
with clearness and force that such chas-
tisement inflicts a great and probably
lasting injury, that no matter how bad
> boy or girl may be there is neverthe-
less some good Within the heart that the

TEACHERS INSTITUTE.
DEER LODGE COUNTY TEACHERS
SCORE A SUCCESS.
The Most Largely Attended Meet
ing the County Has Ever Had
Brief Notes Of the Sessions with
Salient Points OF the Procedures.

The meeting of tho Deer Lodge Coun.
ty Teachers Institute opened last Mon.
day morning with an attendance Of
thirty-fve teachers and many visitors
and before the close of the second day
the enrolment showed an increase OF
sixteen over any institute hitherto held
in the county. All parts of the county
were well represented, and ideas and
theories concerning education and the
best methods of teaching the young idea
how to shoot were advanced and dis
cussed in manner which proved highly
entertaining and instructive to the many
spectators and was extremely creditable
to the educators of the county.
During the entire session the general
appearance of the auditorium was rem
dered pleasant and attractive by the
well-dressed men and beautiful women
whose faces showed that refinement
which education and intellectual pur-
suits alone can give, while the
proceedings were marked through
out by an earnestness on the part of the
participants, which made it patent to the
observant layman that they wore inter-
ested and in love with their profession
for its own sake and aside from any con-
siderations of its somewhat meager emol-
uments. There was also noticeable a
good fellowship, friendiness and mutual
respect, which is too often conspicuously
absent in the gatherings and conven-
tions of other professions.
A brief synopsis Of the proceedings is
given below. The full enrolment of
teachers was as follows:

BI-METALLIC,

At the Bi-Metallic millsite remark
able activity is noticeable and the work
is advancing rapidly. Some of the new
buildings are already completed and
superintendent Risque says that with
three weeks more Of good weather almost
everything will be under cover, and that
the mill will in all probability be ready
to operate early in January. Nothing
that genius can contrive nor progress
suggest in the way of improved quartz
mill machinery is being spared to make
it one Of the most complete and best
equipped mills in the world. Superlnten-
dent Paul A. Fusz, of the Granite COM
pany, who with a party of friends Wis.
tied the scene of operations last Sunday
and who is familiar with the construc-
tion of quartz mills, says we are to have
one of the best mills it has ever been his
fortune to see anywhere; that the ma
chinery, which continues to arrive daily,
is of the most substantial character.

SILVER CHIEF.

The Silver Chief is perhaps one Of the
best showing mines with the same devel-
opment in this district. they are in on
the tunnel about 1000 feet, and the ore
is rich and abundant.
A blower has recently been put in,
which is proving a great advantage to
the miners furnishing pure air.
Shipments of ore are being made from
this mine almost every week, and if it
continues to improve as it has in the past
few months it will be one of the noted
mines in this district.

The Soldiers Monument.

A meeting of the executive committee of
the Soldiers and Sailors Monument Associ-
alton was held at Room No. 2, Falmouth Ho-
tel, Saturday evening. There was nearly a
full attendance. The question Of a m onu-
ment or a memorial building was fully dis
cussed. A vote was passed that in the opin-
ion of the executive committee it is inexpe-
dent for them to procure plans for the re-
modelling of Old City Hall for the purpose of
converting it into memorial building. This
action is owing partly to the expense attend
ing the procuring Of plans and estimates. 1t
was further decided that in the opinion Of
the committee there should be a decided and
final expression of opinion on the part of the
association as to the character of the struc-
ture which it is proposed to erect in Market
Square, whether it is monument or me-
mortal building. The committee feel that it
will be impossible to secure within the time
prescribed at the annual meeting suitable
plans for building or additional plans for a
monument. A special meeting of the gen.
eral association will be called probably with
in week to definitely decide the above ques-
ton.

PULPIT AND PLATFORM.



On the eve of his departure for Rome, Rev.
Mr.. Stackpole preached his farewell sermon
at Pine street church yesterday morning.
The auditorium was crowded with parishion-
ers who had come through rain and dis
agreeable walking to hear their pastors part
ing words.
Mr.. Stackpole said that it might have been
expected by some that this sermon should be
devoted entirely to farewell thoughts, and
perhaps by others that his address would be
of missionary nature but he had decided
the best thing he could bring them to-day
was the picture of the crucifed Lord, chos-
ing his text from Matthew, IL &C..
The preacher then proceeded to speak of the
various constituents of the crowd assembled
to view the tragic death OF Christ and to
draw comparison between them and the
people of this generation.
mIn closing he said: II count it great
privilege that have been with you so long.

Mr.. Stackpole starts for Rome under the
auspices of the Methodist Episcopal Mis-
sionary Society early in February. He will
be succeeded by Rev. S. d. Paine of Florida.

Struck by a Train.

The Boston g. Maine train which left this
city at $50 O'Clock Saturday, while running
between Piddeford and Kennebunk, struck
a man who was walking ON the side of the
track, and knocked him into the snow which
filled the drain. The train was stopped and
run back for some distance, but the man
was not discovered, and the train had to
be at Kennebunk in season to keep the track
clear for the train coming this way. At
Kennebunk, the railroad men ON the train
due here at o'clock were notified of the ac-
cident. and as they ran along kept a lookout
for the unfortunate person. At last he was
found and placed aboard the train. He was
a man apparently about 30 years old, and
from papers found on him was thought to
belong in Springfield, Mass. One side of his
face was crushed in where he was struck by
the car, and was otherwise badly bruised.
He was taken to Biddeford, where he was
placed in charge of DR.. Warren.
The man died about an hour after being
placed in the doctors care. Upon his person
was found letter addressed to Brother
Mac" and signed sc. w. Seagar, SPRING

Eastman Bros. & Bancroft.

At $50 o'clock, sharp, Tuesday morning,
Eastman Bros. & Bancroft will begin their
grand annual sale of remnants and odd lots.
The sale will continue through the day, and
an excellent opportunity will be afforded to
purchase remnants at a remarkably low
price. Great reduction will he made on all
odd lots, and fifty cents on dollar can be
saved by attending this sale. In the past
these sales have been largely attended, and
all who can avail themselves of the present
opportunity will doubtless profit thereby. A
red figure day is advertised, and in order to
give the public chance to examine the
goods the store will be open half an hour be-
fore the sale begins. On account of the
great reduction made in prices, sales ON this
day will be made for cash and considered
final All persons desiring goods kept on
the counters of this well known store, can
not do better than to attend the sale tomor-
row. AS there will doubtless be great rush
on this occasion, those who go first will
probably be more fortunate in their bargains
as they will have the first selection from the
remnants

things were offered at the post office Christ
mas, for transportation through the mail,

wished to send to a person in the eastern

able amusement among the clerks who stood
near
How much will it cost to send this ?" he
asked, producing large package.
What is in your bundle2" demanded the
clerk.
"a canary bird, which want to send to Q
person down east"
Sure enough, in smallwooden cage,which
was covered with paper and carefully sealed
was live canary.
But" said the clerk, ''the bird wouldn't
live in mail bag while he was going to West
brook; you had better send the bird by ex.

Wouldn't, Ell! well, didn't know that
If that's the case, l guess I'll send him by
