THE HOUSE.
The Presidents Message Received
with Enthu siaRln.


with Enthusiasm.
WASHINGTON, August 23.-On motion
of Smith, of Arizona, the bill granting
the Tidal Land and Water Company the
right.of-way through the Port Lowell
military reservation, Arizona. was
passed.
Dubors, of Idaho, offered a resolution
calling on the Attorney-G General for list
of pardons granted by the President to
persons convicted of unlawful cohabita-
ton in Utah and Idaho. 1t went over
till tomorrow.
The House resumed consideration OF
the conference report on the Army APP
preparation bill. After some discussion
as to whether the rights of the House
had been invaded by the Senate, and that
the Committee on Military Affairs had
been guilty of trespass on the rights of
another Committee, the conference re-
port was rejected; 3S to 81. The House
insisted on it's disagreement to the
Senate amendment. Further conference
was ordered. The House then went into
a Committee OF the whole on the Def
cheney Appropriation bill.
The pending point of order against the
French spoliation claims section was
sustained by the Chair on the ground
that the order directing the Committee on
Appropriations to make provisions for the
payment of the claims, was reported by
implication, by the subsequent adoption
of code by rules in antagonism there
with.
Dibble appealed from this decision,
and the question being on the sustaining
decision of the Chair, he made the point
of no quorum.
Further proceedings were suspended to
allow the Committee to rise and the
Speaker to lay before the House the
Presidents message relative to the Fish
cries question. The reading of the paper
was listened to with profound attention.
At it's conclusion the Democrats burst
into applause. The Speaker referred the
document to the Committee on Foreign
Affairs, McCreary securing unanimous
consent to report from that Committee on
the subject at any tine.
Wilson, of Minnesota, Immediately
offered bill to empower the President
more efectually to carry out the pur-
poses Of an act entitled: can act to au-
thorise the President to protect and de-
fend the rights of American fishing YES
sells in certain cases, and for other pur-
poses, approved March 8, 1887, and to
authorize the President to protect Amer
ican interests against unjust discrimin-
ations in the use of canals in the British
Dominion OF North America" Referred
to the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
The House then made an effort to re-
sumo regular business, but no quorum
appearing, the Committee rose and the
House adjourned.

Mr.. Van Devanter prompted the chair
man by smilingly informing him that the
nomination of a delegate was next on the
list.
For a few minutes it seemed as though
no one had given the matter any thought.
Finally G. D. Clark, the silver tongued
delegate from the west, paid an exagger-
ated glowing tribute to the memory of
Delegate Carey, and submitted that gen.
tleman's name to the convention. His
speech was really a fine one. Among
other things he said:
Coming, as l do. from the We tern
portion of Wyoming, almost on the
border of another territory, it gives me
more than ordinary pleasure to offer a
candidate for this Office. He is a man
whose brains are as large as his body,
whose mind is as broad as his shoulders,
a man who personally and politically
stands four square to all the world. In
my section of the territory he will receive
more Democratic votes than would any
other man and many Republican votes.
We all know of his past and can rest
satisfied as to his future. We have seen
him where men are measured, seen him
side by side with prominent men
Of the country and he was not a dwarf.

4 Five Thousand Dollar Mortgage Goes
Up in Smoke.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, May 2O.-A
gentleman residing at Greenfield Hill
was in the city day or two ago, and
while feeling in his pockets as if in
search Of something missing he met a
friend, to whom he said, "l've lost
$50. Imust have slowed it taway under
some carpet on the milSroom shelf, OF
under brick, and have forgotten the
exact locality"
The friend suggested that those We're
queer places to hide money.
"Oh, that's nothing" he said. 1.-The
other day I found an old fashioned
brass warming pan, once owned by
my grandmother, in my garret, where
she left it. On opening.the pan I found
5000 in bills inside. They were State
bank bills, but all good. I think it
pleasant to come across money in that
way.
'But such hiding places are not
always safe. One of my neighbors had
q five thousand dollar mortgage on real
estate in New York city. When the
weather became warm enough to do
without fires he put the mortgage in
a stovepipe for safe keeping. The
autumn following, having forgotten the
circumstance, one frosty night he built
a fire in the stove, consuming the
mortgage, compelling him to obtain
duplicate papers"

lows the manner of written Language.
First characters for objects, second for
words, and then for letters.
The pupils are more easily interested
in something that they can see-nay,
even touch-than such abstract forms
that in past ages were taught from the
"Blue-backed' Spelling Book, and
pointed at with formidable ruler.
That pronunciation is taught by this
method we can not deny. The pupil
necessarily acquires the habit of pro-
nunciation in connecting the names
and forms of words.
Some one has said, "the best way to
teach a primary class their letters is
not to teach them at ALL Give them
instruction in making the letters and
let them gather their names through
the pronunciation of the teacher.
The child not only secures his first
''stock Iof words" but a supply of fa-
miliar terms.
The word method should not be car
ried too far, but should be followed by
the Phonic Method, yet, there is dam
ger of dropping it too early.
The Phonic Method teaches the ele-
mentary sounds of the letters, rather
than their names. After the sounds are
learned then teach them to combine
these so as to form words.
There are many ways ofteaching this
first lesson in elementary sounds. A
simple way, and one too that is
in the reach of every teacher to col
lect number of letters, one on each
card, and have them arranged for the
class. First let the teacher give the
sound of letter, then they search for
it and when found give the name and
sound. Then, the teacher may name
the letter and the pupils give the
sound. After some practice they be-
come familiar with the letters. AS there
are so very many ways no one can be
laid down as the best, for truly,
"Variety is the spice of life" in the
school-room.
A serious objection to this method is,
that we have only twenty-siX letters,
while at least forty elementary sounds.
The child becomes confused when he
learns that "a' has q short sound in
sat-" another in "far," another in
''fal," another in "fare," etc. Thec
silent letters are hindrance.
Even with this serious objection its
benefits are incalculable. Nothing can
give US a clearer articulation and a
correcter pronunciation.
