Ladies' Symphony Orchestra.

A decided musical surprise was rendered
the audience at Kaier's opera house, Maha-
noy City, last evening. The program was
that rendered by the Ladies' Symphony
Orchestra, of Boston, and they deserved the
enthusiastic reception they received. The
theatre was crowded, and the management
was compelled to turn people away from the
doors. 1t was one of the most artistic per-
%formances ever given in that popular play
house, and aroused an expectation that was
fully realized in a most artistic success by
these young ladies. Manager Quirk has been
prevailed upon to repeat the performance
this evening, and it is expected that a large
delegation from Shenandoah will take adj
vantage Of the opportunity to hear these
artists.

sion of the Teachers County Institute
opened this morning with singing under the
direction Of Prof. G. NJ. Parker, of Bing-
hampton, N. Y, after which DIR. NJ. g..
Brumbaugh returned to the platform and de-
liYered a lecture on Games" He referred
to the games that were played by the boys as
far back as history goes. Old prints show
that the japanese boys played Blind Mans
Buff" 2, 1000 years before the birth Of Christ.
The Greek children played games similar
to those the boys and girls Of to-day enjoy.
Supt. Howell, of Scranton, followed with a
lecture on THE True Basis of Promotion"
1t is the ability of the child to work in a
higher grade. In the business world man
has bis own standard, but in the intellectual
world there is no yard stick by which you
can measure the capacity of tho boys and
girls.
Prof. r. f. Ditchburn, the veteran super
intendent Of the Tamaqua public schools,

resolutions, thanking the School Board, Bor-
ough Council and people of Mahanoy City

corded the teachers, to the advisory com
mittee and County Superintendent G.. W.
Weiss for the excellent instruction and en-
t~ertainment afforded, TO the Mahanoy City
Choral Society for entertainment and to
Governor d.. H. Hastings for his ~re-appoint-
ment of DR.. N. O.. ScbaefferE as State Super.
%intendent Of Public Instruction, thus remov-
ing the superintendency out of politics. The
resolutions also urge that the State Treasurer
be more prompt in paying appropriations to
the school districts. The thanks of the
teachers were also extended to County Super
intendent Weiss for his efforts in behalf of
tho institute.
The report of Treasurer J. F. Bohrman
showed that there was a balance of institute
funds on hand last year Of 1884. 02. 1t is

the Mahanoy township schools, announced
the vote Of the teachers on the selection of a
place for the next meeting, The vote was:
Mahanoy City, 512 Pottsville, 225. The ap-
plause following the announcement was long
and loud. Superintendent Noonan concluded
his remarks by saying that the hospitality
accorded the teachers by the people of Maba-
noy City this year, liberal as it was, will be
exceeded by that of next year.
OF the 793 teachers present so did not vote,
while six votes were rejected as defective.
County Superintendent Weiss made his
closing address to the audience and praised
the teachers for their large attendance, the
interest manifested in the institute, and the

The Grand Jury at Pottsville yesterday
found a true bill against Frank and Andrew
Green and Felix Rynkiewicz on a charge Of
conspiracy to defraud creditors. The Greens
kept a t iloring establishment on East Centre
street in this town and failed. After the
Sheriff had levied on the stock some of the
creditors made charges of fraud and aused a
search warrant to be issued. A quantity of
cloth alleged to be the property of the
Greens was found in Rynkawicz's house.
This led to a consultation which resulted in
the Greens making a settlement with the
creditors who had made the charge of fraud
and caused the search to be made. Suisse
quently another creditor, Leopold Salzer, ap-
peared and demanded payment of>his bill.
It was refused and he then instituted suit on
a charge Of conspiracy.

Notice.

The possibility Of being outclassed in the
matter of quality by any other shoe dealer is
too remote to be considered here. The rule,
that shoes which do not come up to our
standard Of excellence should be returned 10
the makers, has kept our store free from
worthless stock. All our goods are fresh and
thoroughly up-to-date. Our line of women's
and mems fall and winter shoes at SIPS is a
sample of what prices are here. Values arc
big, prices are small and satisfaction goes
with every pair of shoes we sell.

THE FOES OF SOCIETY.

Governor Pingree Says They Prosper
Under the Cloak of Responsibility.
New York, Nov. Ex-Governor Hazen
S. Pingree, of Michigan, delivered an
address last night before the Nineteenth
Century club, at Sherry's. His subject
was; THE Results of Ten Years of
Municipal Progress" Previous to
Governor Pingree's address Herbert
Welsh, Of Philadelphia, spoke Of re-
form In his native city and the abuses
Of ring rule there.
Governor Pingree said In part.
Business men are to blame for mis-
government Of cities. They expect
men they look down upon to furnish
good government and to protect their
lives and property, without doing any-
thing toward it themselves, They
grumble at the results Of caucuses
which they do not attend, and they
complain of the acknowledgement Of
those whom they take no part in Sc
lecting. 1t is the duty of every man
to take part I'm the primaries, and 1
think It would be wise to prohibit every
man from voting who took no part in
the nominations.
1T Is your so-caUed respectable peo-
pie who are the most dangerous. Their
cloak of eminent respectability hides
them, ana people VIII not believe you
when you show them up, especially
when they are church members and
wear long faces, My experience Is that
those who stand foremost In the syna.
gogue and wear long faces ON Sunday,
and spend the rest of the week in brih-
ing aldermen and getting up stock Job
bing schemes 10 defraud widows and
orphans, are most dangerous members
Of society"
