TIE INSTITUTE

TIE interest in the work is on gradual
and hopeful increase both on the part OF
pupils and visitors. An increase in at
tendance Of about ten pupils is about the
daily average, which viii soon bring the
institute up to former hlsh-wateE mark II
this rate OF increase remains permanent
for any considerable time.
The increase in the number OF visitors Is
taken as aH index of the quality Of the
work since few are inclined TO visit classes
in which they find nothing of intereet, or
institutes which do nos bear critical in
spection.
Tue several classes were conducted yes
terday with the usual enthusiasm and re-
suits. In geography the class drew, stud
led and explained maps of the earth as n
whole, its division into zones. methods of
fiuding the width of the Zones in degrees,
how these subjects should be taught to
pupils Of the different grades, what should
determine the particular method OF III
struction and its amount in any given
case, etc. The subject Was developed
phIlosophically aud 90 the ready compre-
hension OF the class.
The grammar class took up the subject
change in gender OF the same word in the
different sentences, the necessity Of the
study of relations, the value of q study OF
parts of speech from the thought side
rather than alone from a technical or book
side etc. Ready grounds OF disagreement
are found in this subject but the instruc-
tor handled the subject fearlessiy. While
he did not bring all to MS manner of think
ing he yet gave good grounds for bis own
position and furnished material for the
pupils further digestion.
The class in arithmetic treated the sub
jects of investments in bonds. stock, etc,
and discussed the different forms of prob
lens common to each, as well as worked
problems illustrating each.
In history the events of the early admin
istrations, found the basis of the lesson.
The effects of some prominent early events
were traced naming the chief actors in
each and endeavorlng to measure the re-
lative rank and credit to be assigned to
each.
The first cabinet officers were named
and the order of development of the sew
eral cabinet positions pointed out.
One of the most practical exercises OF
each day is that of natural philosophy.
Yesterday this class has the subjects of
specific density of liquids means of testing
the purity of liquors for revenue purposes,
of gasoline and like liquids for domestic
purposes, etc. Each point was made clear
aud pupil felt some real gain from the ex-
erciSe

this afternoon and present to them the
office OF CON missioner. Those who know,
say that the methods adopted by the
Democracy in soaring the Alliance into
this is the greatest piece of political work
ever done in this county, and that it
shows the great advantage the trained
Democratic politicians have over the IN
trained farmers who represent the Al
lance On the conference committee. After
getting the commissionership the Demo-
Gratis will next ask for the district clerk
ship, and if they fail in this they will ask
for the office of probate judge for o. D.
Kirk and will argue In his favor on the
grounds of Mr.. Kinks services or tina
board that decided the clerkship contest
eighteen months ago in favor of the Demo
Alliance candidate. The Alliance will
probably refuse both and to pacify the
Democrats they will probably offer them
the legislator in Douglass district. The
Democrats don't want this for the reason
that they know. as one Of them says, it is
impossible to beat Douglass and for the
further reason that it is a well known fact
that Edwin White Moore and that coterie
of Democrats will vote for Douglass any
way. regardless of who is put up against
him. The time since the first meeting has
been well spent by the Democrats, and
they are now prepared to show their Alli-
ance friends thing or two about smooth
political work.

Her Adopters Charged With Treating Her
In q shameful Manner.
Agent O'Brien, of the Humane Society,
returned yesterday from Westmorelaud
county where he investigated case oi
cruelty to an orphan child. On Tuesday he
was summoned to Appolo, Armstrong
county, where he found great excitement
over the abuse of girl Ida Steele, aged Is
years. She had for several days been under
the protection of a Welshman named Hays,
who, it is alleged, had rescued her from the
house of Edward and Margaret Smith. The
child had been terribly abused as was evil
denced by numerous cuts on her body, q
large scalp wound on her head, the lacera-
tion of each of her arms and deep, red
mark about her neck.
Her story was simple. She said she is
an orphan, and four years ago was given
into the custody of man by the authori-
ties of the Home for the Friendless She
could not recall who her custodian was, but
shortly after being with MIN Edward Smith
and his wife secured her From the time
she entered their home, sine said, she had
been abused. Only few days ago, she
said, she was tied in the stable, chain
being fastened about her neck. Mr..
O'Brien, who investigated the case, made
information before Squire Corcoran, Of
Appolo, charging Edward Smith and his
wife with wantonly and cruelty abusing the
girl. A hearing was set for to-day. Smith
denied abusing the girl, but said his wife
was not right in her head and not respensi-
