NOTES OF THE INSTITUTES

Miss Mary C. Monies of No. 2S school,
Is the accompahist at the singing in the
teachers institutes.
If vote were taken to decide who is
the handsomest lady teacher the first
prize would have to be divided among
too many.
The book agent is an adjunct of the
institutes that would be better appre-
ciated as an imaginary attribute rather
than a reality.
Miss L. E. Penman, the polished
principal of No school, is not sparing
her energy in the capable assistance
she lends to Superintendent Phillips.
Various complimentary remarks were
made yesterday upon the excellent or
der maintained by the hundreds of
young ladies at the county institute,
and the splendid attention given to
the various lectures.

Professor Eppstein relates an Incl
dent which reflects great credit on the

paper from Charlie Riceman, one of the
street venders Of newspapers, and
handed him, as he thought, five pen
MES. Soon after Charlie came to the
hotel and made inquiries after the pro-
fessor, but could not locate him. Sew
eral hours later he met him on the
street and said; Aren't you the man
who bought paper off me?' The pro-
fessor replied, II guess so, why?"
'What did you give me?" querled the
Juvenile paper merchant. Five pen
nies, think" was the answer. mo, II
wasn't" was the rejoinder, ut was four
pennies and $5 piece. Here's your
gold piece, give me the penny" The
professor had not missed the piece un-
til the boy called his attention to 1t in
this abrupt manner, and 1t was with
some difficulty that he prevailed upon
the boy to accept reward for his hon
esty.

Singular, Injustice.

We find in The Dial this extraordinary
statement in brief review of William
Winters ''Life of Edwin BOOTH: "Not
till Mr.. Irving came to America did
Booth even have reason to understand
that his star had passed its meridian and
was beginning to descend. He did not
believe in the new school. To the end
he stood fast by the oldfashioned stand
ard of poetic tragedy the grand man
ner, the Evolutionary not less than the
lnimetic art. But he recognized that
there is an inevitable fate in such chang
es; and one of the sweetest OF his charact-
eristics was the gentle patience, the
cheerful resignation, with which he ac-
cepted the new order Of things, although
he could not defer to the new lights of
art.''
How writer for an American publ
cation could make, or be permitted to
make, a declaration so little in accord
with fact in its vital point we do not
understand. Such mistake easily might
have been made by an English writer,
but it is SO opposed to fact that its pres
..ence in our scholarly periodical is mex
plicable. In the first place the coming
to America Of Mr.. Irving had no effect
upon Mr.. Booths star, and had no effect
upon Mr.. Both. There was period
when Mr.. Booth abandoned his art and
drifted into melancholy, but his friends
will learn with astonishment that Mr..
Irving's thought Of coming to America
had anything to do with it. AS q matter
