THE TEACHERS INSTITUTE.

THE TEACHERS INSTITUTE.
| The Teachers Institute, which
opened here on Monday, the 10th,
closed at 5p. M, Friday. A friend !,
who was in attendance, furnishes
us with the following items:
"The lectures have been plain,
pra ctical, helpful. Prof. Hughes,
the conductor, is an eminent edu~
Gator whose heart and soul is in his
work, consequently he is well up
on pedagogy and calculated to in
struct those who hear him.
The interest, on the part of the
teachers, was marked all the way
through, Our only regret is that
more of the teachers were not pres
ent to ''take it ill.,"
The following teachers were en-
rolled: Prof. W. L. Than es, NJ. A.
Sheppard, Rome Brown, J. w.
Moody, Jack Shivers, Misses Mat
tie aud Maybelle Scott, Misses Bird
lie and Annie Marion, Miss Alleyne
Shivers, Miss Ada W hite, Miss
Francie Anderson.
Prof. Hughes simply "gets there"
on pedagogy, is the verdict of the
teachers who attended the Institute.
The visits of Mrs. G. w. Ellis,
her sister, Miss Laura Robertson,
and friend, Miss Clara Monier, were
like rays of sunshine cleaning into
our sancuum sanctorum-so say
the young men of the Institute.

The Missouri Senator Writes a Letter on
the Subject of the White Metal.
WASHINGTON, May 11.-Almost the
last thing Senator Cockre1l did before
leaving this city for his home was to
write a letter to ex-senator McLaurin,
of Mississippi, on the silver question,
letter that is looked upon by the silver
people as a reply to some of the senti-
ments recently expressed by the presi-
dent in his letter to Gov. Stone. SEN
ator Cockre1l commends Mr.. BANDS
recent interview, and among other
things says:
81 have never ceased to wonder why
the people of the south and west, fur
nishing SO largely as they do products
which are exported for gold, shonld be
willing to submit to all the disadvan-
tages and loss of gold monometal-
ism and to content themselves
with an approaching and huctuating
currency, constantly approaching
more and more in its purchasing power
and constantly depreciating the market
or selling price and the debt-paying
power of their products, while permit
ting others to reap a profit from
the transmutation of the prices of their
productions from gold to silver
Senator Cockren speaks of an ''ava-
ricious guardianship and selfish dicta-
ton of Great Britain condemns the
recent issue of bonds to the Morgan
Belmont-Rothschild syndicate las a

tions" yielding an enormous profit,
argues against the single gold stand

ocrats who suppose that our party
can stand on a platform embodying
such doctrine as the single gold stand
ard either through it's affirmative
strength or through the perplexity of
our opponents on the same proposition,
they should no longer deceive them
selves nor longer refuse to look in the

defeat, if not the disintegration of the
democratic party upon the issue that

A CRAZY DEED.
An Infatuated Man Murders q Girl and
Then Suicides.


PHILADELPHIA, May IA terrible
tragedy was enacted on the sidewalk
in front of SO North Seventh street, at
9 o'clock yesterday morning, in the
presence of a throng of passers-by, by
August Topper, manufacturer of nov
elites, aged So years. He shot Clara
Herhold, alias Schmidt, aged 20
years, twice in the right side,
his right temple, killing him
almost instantly. The girl was re-
moved to a hospital, where she died
half an hour later without having re-
gained consciousness. The murder and
suicide was due to love. Topper is a
married man and lives at 3I3 Noble
street with his wife and family He
was desperately in love with the Her
hold girl, but his advances were coldly
received. The girl came from Germany
about year ago and went to live with
the Topper family as a servant.
POOR 10 HAS TOO MANY WIVES
WASHINGTON, May IL. Special Agent
Dickson, at Pine Ridge, S. D., has re-
ported to the Indian Office that Amer
lean Horse, the well-known Sioux
chief, has been arrested on charge
of bigamy and released on bail pend
ing trial. The agent recommends that
steps be taken to stop the proceed
ings, which he regards as the first in
a series of like arrests. All the older
Indian chiefs have had several wives
for forty years and more, and no one
has ever dreamed of interfering be-
fore. The impression prevails in the
Indian Office that the arrest of Ameri-
can Horse is part of general plan,
of which the recent Turtle mountain
disturbances were a part, to trump up
cases against Indians and secure fees
for the United States deputy marshals
who make the arrests.
A sALOONKEEPER ROBBED.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May 11.-Just as
S. II. Bruner, a saloonkeeper at AT
Southwest boulevard, was on the point
of closing his place of business last
night, at 11:45, two men entered the
saloon, and, drawing revolvers,
forced him to open his safe and
allow them to secure the contents.
When the men first made their de-
mand Bruner thought they were perpe-
trating joke, but when he started to
parley with them, he found them fear
fully in earnest. The robbers carried
away $40 in money and two gold
watches and chains. The men were
dressed in gray suits and wore cloth
hats.

CHICAGO, May 11.-As if in rebuke of
the criticisms made by Department Com
mander Thayer, of the Grand Army of
the Republic of Massachusetts, the First
infantry is preparing to make the dedica-
ton of the confederate soldiers monu-
ment at lakewood cemetery one of the
most notable events in the history of the
regiment. Instead of a firing party of
one hundred men participating in the
ceremonies on Decoration Day, there
will be at least five hundred
acting in that capacity. Every officer in
the First is enthusiastically in favor of
patriotic demonstration in connection
with the unwilling of the monument,
and their enthusiasm is shared equally
by the enlisted men.
Among those who have already signi-
fed their intention to be present are

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE cat show
seems not only to have taken the city
but the country at large. Dispatches
and letters have been received by Sec
rotary Hyde from Boston, Minneapolis
and Providence, asking his assistance
and advice on the organization of

Steps are already being taken toward
the formation of national association
along the same lines as the dog clubs,
and cats will be registered as dogs are
now.
