ABSOLUTELY PURE
Institute Lecture Course-ssle Of Tickets

| etc.
As tito signalize his retiremcnt from
the office of County Superintendent, Prof.
Berkey has provided course of enter
tainments for the evening sessions of the
coming Teachers Institute that will earn
| him the thanks of all the patrons of
| that popular adjunct of the annual con
vention of teachers and directors. The
| people Of the county are indebted in a
/ great measure to the County Superin-
tendent for the pleasure they have ex-
perienced and benefit they have derived
from hearing many of the most notable
platform lecturers of the century. At no
other time than during institute week
would it be practicable to bring such
high priced talent here, and Prof. Ber
key, realizing and appreciating this fact,
has always striven to secure the most
! eminent lecturers attainable.
Few persons who listened TO Prof John
Il. DeMotte's lecture on Light" upon
the occasion of his appearance here two
or three winters ago, will absent them
selves on Monday evening of institute
when he will speak on ELECTRICITY"
Prof Denote carries costly apparatus
with him by which he illustrates his
talks with a number of brilliant expert
rnents. We feel no hesitancy in stating
that Monday evenings entertainment
viii furnish more wholesome food for
thought than any that will follow during
the week. In speaking of this lecture,
Joseph Cook, the eminent divine and
platform speaker, says; at was the
grandest lecture on electricity that ever
heard. l would rather lose five hun
dred dollars than 10 have missed it,"
Tuesday evening, III. III. Emmett, son
of famous Indian Chief and known as
the 'Indian Orator. will occupy the
platform. The subject of his discourse
THE North American Indian'-can not
but prove of absorbing interest. Mr..
Emmett will doubtless have something
to say on the ''Indian Question" and will
present the Indians side of the argument
in different light from that in which it
vas viewed by the late Gen. Sheridan
who il credited with the remark, ''the
only good Indian il a dead Indian" The
scholarly men appearing before the pub
lie an his address can not fail to prove
instructive and entertaining.
OF DIR. A. J. Palmer, who lectures on
Wednesday evening, it has been said
that he lis the finest orator among all the
soldiers who marched beneath the stars
and stripes to victory" His subject
''The- Die No-Mores," affords ample op-
portunity 10 exercise his wonderful pow
er. \ lecture on patriotism is most Op-
perfume at this time when 4 concerted ef-
fort it seems is being made in all parts of
the country to instil lessons ON love of
country in the youth of the land. After
having heard DIR. Palmer's lecture Gen.
o. O. Howard said at made me feel that
we have a country worth dying for"
Chaplain McCabe says: Hear the Die
No-Mores,' if you have 10 ride fifty miles
TO get the privilege"
Following the custom set several seasons
ago Superintendent Berkey has provided
a musical entertainment for Thursday
night, hen the Mozart Sextet'' will APP
pear. This is undoubtedly one of the
leading musical organizations of the
United States, and from the large num-
ber of testimonials before Us it appears
that they have never yet failed TO give
the greatest satisfaction TO their audi
ences. over 1000 people crowded the
hall to hear the Mozart Sextet upon their
last appearance in Pittsburg.
In addition TO the entertainments men,
toned above Prof Byron W. King, who
is prime favorite with Somerset county
teachers, will appear upon one or two
evenings, preceding the lecture, with rec
itations and impersonations. Prof
Gresh, the musical director of the Insti-
tute, viii render number of solos, and
the ''Orpheus Club" of NJ Meyersdale, will
furnish instrumental music ofa high or
