are the most popular institute workers
in America. Let every teacher be pres
ent at all the sessions if possible. School
boards should close the schools Friday
and insist ON the teachers being present
at the institute. The benefit derived
goes back Immediately TO the schools
and thus to the children. A teacher
with inspiration can do more work in
one week than the same teacher with
out inspiration can do in u month.
School officers and patrons are earnestly
invited to attend all the sessions.
Teachers from adjacent counties are
very welcome. All sessions held in the

THE FALLEN NAPOLEON.

And in this fight allies were not TO be

from France at all hazards And in his
case TO go was his only safety, though had

Then came the end. when his ministers

those he bad most richly rewarded became

One of the most pleasant gatherings
of the year was that of the Masonic
public installation at Masonic hall last
evening. About 100 Masons, their
wives and friends gathered TO witness
the ceremonies. The exercises We're
opened with song, after which, Francis
Palmer offered prayer, followed by the
installation of its officers, which was
very pleasing and. impressive, followed
by il very interesting lecture on Mason

THE MORNING STAR.

Lantenmnn and Hefdei strike 1t in

In Yesterdays issue of The Herald
mention was made of the. fact that F.
NJ Franks and other Salt Lake mining
men had secured q bond and lease on
the Morning Star group of mines in
Bingham, which is considered as being
very valuable property. The Inter
mountain Mining Review, published
yesterday. contains the following rela-
tive of this deal:
The Morning Star mine in Carr Fork
has been bonded by c. H. Lashbrook
to T. NJ. Frank and a number of other
Salt Lake men for S25, 600, the bond
running two years from Nov. "a, and
the deed being in escrow at the Ma
tional Bank of the Republic, where a
cash payment was also made. The
Morning Star has been a good producer
in the past. and now has a pinch
body of galena exposed, which assays
IS per cent lead and % ounces silver.
The purchasers win at orce put force
of men at work on this ore, and have
also let a contract for an additional
100 feet of tunnel which Will cut an
other and distinct vein. The purchase
IS regarded as a particularly favorable
one to the purchasers.
The Review also mentions the strike
in the Silver Bell, as follows:
C. w. Heidel. who for the past %
years has been operating on that i'm
mense run of groupings in main Bing
ham, below the Winnamuck and on the
opposite side of the canyon. with
varying results, has struck it rich in
the Silver Bell. Associated with Mr..
Heidel is DR.. A. J. Lantenman of Lead
vile, and these two, after a careful
survey of the DamDhool groupings,
started a tunnel just above Dry Fork.
to cut the ledge after it crosses the
canyon. 1t was expected that a dis
lance of go feet would have to be
driven before the vein was reached,
but last Friday, when the tunnel was
in 40 feet, a body of rich lead ore was
cut into. The ore body is three feet
thick and stands up between well de-
fined walls, and Mr.. Heidel and Dr.
Lantenman are of the opinion that this
ore body is separate and distinct from
the one they we're running for. Ac-
cordingly they viii continue the tunnel
the additional 90 feet for the extension
of the Damphool vein. The ore in the
Silver Bell discovery carries only u
ounces silver. with some gold values.
but it runs GO per cent lead and about
Is per cent iron. and will consequently
be a good selling ore.

Chicago Chronicles Tribute to an
Old-Time salt Laker.


The retirement of Charles W. Coul-
dock which has been announced and
! denied, cannot, in the nature of things,
be long delayed.
When he first began to make a name
on the boards many of the giants of
more than two generations ago were
still in the enjoyment of their fame.
Forrest, Macready, the elder Booth and
others still filed the public eye, and
there were scarcely any premOnitions
as yet of the radical change which
stage fashions have undergone since
that day.
He began his career as a conspicuous
stage figure IL the school of dramatic
representation destined so soon to pass
away, though here and there some art
list still struggles to achieve fame along
It's lines. His earlier starring was in
the old classic drama. beginning before
that old creation of Kotzebue, The
Stranger, a play which was the par
ent of half dozen more or less palpa-
BILE limitations, had yet begun 10 lose
favor.
1t may be that he would have
achieved higher fame if that type of
dramatic writing had remained in
vogue. But though it is impossible to
be at all certain about this, it is at
least certain that whatsoever ne under
took in trat wa he did well. He did
not, perhaps, reach the plane of great
ness. but he was always an artist of
intelligence and force, if not of the
highest degree of polish.
Perhaps the most remarkable fact
about him as an artist was that the
change in dramatic fashion did not
leave him with his occupation gone.
lie did not drop out of the line of
march nor remain in it vainly trying
to carry an old and obsolete banner in
an entirely perfunctOry way. He rose
above that. He kept substantially
abreast with the developing progress
of his art. From The Stranger" and
THE Willow Copse'' he passed to
Hazel Kirke" and to yet later reforms
of the drama, and though he may have
halted short of greatness in them, too,
he at least achieved a highly credit
able degree Of eminence in the new
fashions as he had done in the old.
The average man is outgrown by his
time if he lives TO be an old man Mir.
CouldOck was not so left behind. Until
he passed so he was always able to
command a degree of favor which the
vast majority of his profession never
attain. Ia that respect at least he has
been a remarkable man. For 20 years
nearly he has kept abreast with a con-
stantly shifting profession.
