Rathbone, Chief Postoflice Inspector, ia

Wheeling's representatives in the

Osborne is playing great ball for Pitts

a pitcher. His hitting has simply been
great. H.- oa',
Pap" Lytle, who has stuck to Wheel
ing through thick and thin, will prob
ably go to Chicago, playing right field,
after the season is over.
Canton went wild the other night over
the fact that Chigsgo only made three
hits of young, their former pitcher,
which club played against Cleveland.
Well, Wheeling has always done better
than that.
Mansfield, poor old Mansfield, gave
their alleged champions a banquet the
other night. Besides they presented
each member with a gold badge, aud
Manager Geer was given a purse. II
Wheeling had had another pitcher the
Rlchland county chumps would not have
approached the first place. Wheeling
bids the (Ohio) TriState League good

The Marshall county teachers' insti.
tute closed yesterday. Thursday after.
noon Professor Armstrong gave another
lecture on civil government, new feat
ure in the conducting OF institutes in
that county, which has resulted in much
good. 1t is safe to say that large ma
jority Of the teachers will adopt Mr..
Armstrong; suggestion and give shof,
but comprehensive lessons on civil gov.
ernment to their pupils, and thereby
their education will be supplemented
and enlarged by knowledge Of the civil
rights and duties OF the citizen, $50.
Dir. Ford illustrated, by use OF charts,
the effect OF alcohol and narcotics en- the
physical system. The charts used were
new, and the best ever presented to the
teachers OF Marshall county, and the
way they were handled showed that the
speaker was quite familiar with the sub.
ject. s,s'-l
The exercises for the evening consist.
ed music and recitations. Mrs. D, r..
Williams and Misses Jackson and Pelley
treated those present to some music, and
Misses Crawford and Allemong deliver.
ed recitations. Prof. Armstrong made
finished address on the subject Of "The
Demands OF Modern Education" He
spoke Of tho lack OF reverence of the
average American boy, saying that he
neither revered or feared anything in the
Heavens above him, nor IN the earth
beneath, and that he apparently
had almosta contempt for everything
around him. The professor cautioned
the teachers to teach their pupils proper
reverence for age and position, and said
that the indifference and seeming def.
ance Of she average American youth
probably springs from mistaken idea
Of liberty-of civil liberty. a5 i..,.-g
/ Hon. J. A. Ewing then spoke 10 the
question Of "How to Teach Patriotism
in the Public School,! BY reason of a
temporary indispositiou Mr.. Ewing was
unable 10 complete his remarks. l..r
Friday morning Professor Armstrong
gave his fifth and last lecture on civil
government, aud C.J. Higgs took up the
subject OF grammar and treated OF it at
length. When he had finished, the sub.
ject was generally discussed by the
teachers. This discussion showed abil.
ity in debate and was sharp and full Of
interest. .,-..3tl :, 7s's4.,.EE-. ,II
