SUPERINTENDENT JAMES DUNCAN, OF
the Bridgeport schools had chatty let
ter recently from ex-Sup't L. ii. Walters,
now of Media, Pa Referring to the
schools of his Delaware) county he says
that they are mostly presided over by
women, and that out of 235 teachers in
the county but ten of them are males.
Concerning institutes, Mr.. w. says they
are conducted in his county much as
they used to be in Belmont county be-
fore the days of the Normal Institute,
the instruction being given altogether on
the lecture plan. One OF the remarkable
things about the Institute says Mr.. W.,
was the attendance On the first day at
the opening of the afternoon session, ev-
cry one of the 235 had enrolled, and the
attendance throughout the session was
well on to a hundred per cent. Possibly
it will not appear so remarkable in light
of the statement that the law in Pennsyl-
vania compels attendance upon Insti-
tutes, and also allows teachers pay for
their time-ED.]
twill be pleasing to Mr.. W's friends
to learn that he has given such satisfac
tion in his position as Superintendent of
the Media schools, that the Board unan-
reelected him for a period of
three years, with an increase of $500 per
annum in his salary.

A DISTRESSING accident happened
about four o'clock on Saturday evening
at the home of George J. Webster, near
Harrisville, resulting in the almost instant
death of his little daughter Ethel, aged
about nine years. Mr.. Webster was en-
gagged in hauling in grain, and when
passing through the yard near the resi-
dence, stopped with the loaded wagon for
short time. During the halt the child
unobseryed began playing about the load
and was probably hanging on the ladders
between the front and hind wheels when
the team was started and she fell to the
ground, and the hind wheel passed dag
Onally across the chest, crushing it so
that death ensued early on Sunday morn
ing. The little girl was bright and
interesting child, and her sad death is
severe affiiction upon dOting parents.
Mrs. Webster is a sister of Mrs. Dr. Furbay
of this place. Funeral on Monday. In
terment at Harrisyille.

THERE appears to be wOeful dearth of
interest in popular healthful sports in
this place. Why it should be so there is
no sufficient reason. We have no regu-
larry organized ball club when there is
abundant material to form very cred
liable team. Many young men about
town would be much benefited by such
exercise as ball playing affords, and at the
same time others would have the pleasure
and hence be the gamers by being pro-
vided with amusement 20 relieve the
pressure of existence. Tennis is sport
not INDUCED in here due merely to want
of energy to take the initiative. The
young ladies are ahead of the young men
in that they crafty in measure their
desire for outdoor sports by horseback
riding, which is an invigorating and
health-giving exercise, and it is not an
uncommon sight to see jolly half dozen
galloping through the streets on pleasant
evenings. If the young men would do as
well and devise some means of recreation
for themselves or one in which both sexes
can engage, all would receive a good
dividend on time invested.

AT the great Prohibition blowout at
Moundsville last week Sam Small, he who
claims to be minister of the gospel, fully
sustained his already unenviabie reputa-
toin for unchecked proclivities to indulge
in foul and incorporate language. He
may possibly be temperate man as
far as drinking goes, but when it
comes to talking he can successfully
contest with the most accomplished
street Arab in the use of slang and rough
expressions. There is such thing as be-
ing temperate in all things, and it is
about as disgusting to hear uncouth and
gutter born language from the pulpit as
it is to see drunkard staggering from a
saloon. Small says he wants everybody
in this world and in hell to know that he
is not temperance man. What he means
by that we do not know, but suppose he
means that he is a Prohibitionist. Why
he breaches to the people in the latter
place is not stated, but it seems that
many of his remarks have their origin
there, and are directed to that region.
