TEACHERS, INSTITUTE.

Three Charming Entertainments Arr
ranged by the superintendent.
The Teachers Institute of New Castle
county will meet in annual session at Mid
dletown on Tuesday, November 21st.
The programme for the four days is both
interesting and instructive, and the even
ing entertainments of high order.
The humorous lecturer Col. ]. P. Sanford,
the elecutionist ]. s. Burdette and the
Boston Ideal Banjo, Mandolin and Guitar
club are each sufficiently attractive to fill
our Opera House.
Col. Sanford. of Iowa, makes his first ap-
pearance in Middletown, but his reputation
as humorist and a traveller is worldwide
and he cannot fail to please a Middletown
audience.
Mr. Burdette will surely have large
hearing; his rare ,elecutionary powers are
we'll remembered from last years In
stitute when he won such favor, and he will
have very enthutiastic aud fence to greet
him on his second appearance.
The fame of the Boston Ideals has already
reached these parts, and to hear them is q
rare opportunity.
Their coming to Middletown is great
achievement by superintendent Griffin, who
secures them at great cost.
There is every indications that the Insti-
tute will be the best ever held in Middle
town, and though Professor Griffin is TAX
ing great risks in providing such rich
feast, we are sure our people viii give him
a hearty support.

LIGHTS AT THE R. R. STATION.

The Lack of Them Menace to the
Safety of Travellers.
Why does not the Railroad Company
awake to the need of the public for proper
lighting at the station? Efforts have been
made to induce them to put in electric
lights. but in vain thus far. They have a
few miserable lights that are almost worse
than none, and only an apology for an
attempt to lighting their premises. The
marvel is that there have been no accidents
to the hundreds of foot travellers andtean Q
who are exposed to danger from there being
no lights or signal at the crossing over
which large proportion of the travel to
the town passes.
Railway passengers alighting from the
train are also endangered from the want of
lights. Nearly every one arriving on South
bound trains alights on the side toward the
station, where there is no platform, and it
is veritable leap in the dark from the
train to the ground, and stumbling block
at every step across the track to the wait
ing rooms. Is there no means by which
the Railroad Company can be persuaded
that lights at the station are necessity
The lack of them may cost many times the
expense of putting them in.

BISHOP VINCENT.
To Preside at the Wilmington Con-
ference to he Held at SALISBURY.

To Preside at the Wilmington Con-
| ference to be Held at Salisbury.
The semi-annual meeting of the Board Of
| Bishops Of the Methodist Episcopal Church
was held last week at Milwaukee. At this
meeting the assignment of presiding
officer to meet the conferences holding their
session in the spring was made. There was
some confusion in the announcement made
by wire at first, but subsequent information
is quite satisfactory to both ministers and
laymen in the assignment of Bishop John
81. Vincent, who is ranked among the
most able and efficient members of the
episcopal board. Bishop Vincent was
born in Alabama in 1882, and joined the
New York Conference in 1853 He was
transferred to the Rock River Conference
in 1866. He became especially interested
in the work and literature of the Sunday
school, and visited the Holy Land in order
to prepare himself the better to be of
service in that department.
In 1865 he was appointed general Sunday
school agent of the Methodist Episcopal
Sunday School Union. In 1868 he was ell
ected the General Conference editor of
The Sunday School Journal, and of the
books ofinstruction. He was elected in 1872
by accIamation, editor of the Sunday school
books, paper and tracts as well as cores
ponding secretary of the Tract Society, and
of the Sunday School Union and was re-
elected in 1876. No man ever labored more
indefatigably and more successfully as a
Sunday school worker. and long since ac-
quired a national reputation among all de-
nominations of christians.
The Chautauqua Literary and Scientific
Circle. which prescribes course Of reading
for all classes of people was founded in
1878, and in few years enrolled O000
students, and each successive year at the
beautifully located summer school at
Chantauqua Lake, New York State, the
brightest and most scholarly minds have
gathered, and taught the thousands who
came for instruction and mental help.
DIR. Vincent has been the Chancellor of this
school from the beginning. and his fame
for successful management is worldwide.
He was elected Bishop in 1888, and has
travelled largely at home and in foreign
countries as general Superintendent of the
church. He is wall and fayprably known
to many ministers Of the Wilmington Con-
ference. Before his election TO the Epis-
copal office, he conducted Sunday School
Institutes in different parts Of the VIII
mington Conference, and was present re-
peatedly at the sessions Of the conference.
representing the interests OF the Sunday
School Union or Tract Societies
He viii receive warm welcome fro m the
ministers at the Conferences, to be held in
Salisbury, Nd, beginning March 2lst. 1894.
The Methodists held their annual Co n
ference in Salisbury 1874, just 20 years ago,
at which session Bishop Isaac Wiley pre-
sided, and Rev. I. E. Martindale was
Secretary. Bishop Wiley died.a few yea rs
afterward while visiting the Mission in
China, where his body was buried.

It represents the mythical horseshoe
nailed to the door Of, doubtless, some cabin
