BAYLOR'S POND ONCE AGAIN.
w. w. BAYLOR Institutes Another
Trespass Suit.

Trespass Suit.
Baylor's pond is again in court, where
It has been periodically as long back
as the oldest resident can remember.
William Baylor, who claims sole own
ership to the pond, and all the rights
appertaining thereto, yesterday insti-
tuted a suit in trespass against Carl
w. Tiffany, one of the several neigh
bors who dispute his claims.
1t was thought the cruel war was
over, when last spring the former
long-drawn-out and highly expensive
litigation was terminated by Tiffany
confessing judgment in favor of Bay
lor. 1t appears, however, that Tiffany
did not, by this confession, admit Bay
lor's right to prevent his fishing in the
pond from the shore, and on July 4
last he proceeded to exercise what he
thought was his legal prerogative.
Baylor demanded of him to desist He
refused and this latest suit is the con-
sequence.
The pond and all the land, an acre
deep, around 1t is hardly worth the
trouble and expense of the litigation
over the fishing privilege, but the
doughty Benton farmers, who are in
Volved in the war, are a spunky lot,
and they are bound to have their
rights, no matter what the cost may
be. w. W. Baylor. son Of the plain
tiff, is his legal representative.

THE INSTITUTE ENTERTAINMENT.
First One Given bv the Royal Enter
tainment Compauy.


tainment Company.
The county school teachers were well
entertained, IL not highly instructed,
by the second number of the institute
entertainment course in Y. NJ. c. A.
hall, last night. The purveyors were
the Royal Entertainment company, Of
New York, which included Albert e.
Smith, ventriloquist, facial imitator,
shadowgraphist and prestidigitateur;
Miss Malta Holmes, reciter; J. Stuart
Blackton, lightning sketch artist and
comic cartoonist, and Miss Pauline
Ingre johnson, soprano soloist.
All were very clever In their respec-
tive parts. Miss Johnson has a re-
markable good voice, but somewhat de-
tracts from her work in the eyes of the
lovers of the truly artistic by appear
ing in the native costume of her coun-
try, Sweden, and wearing a huge gold
medal. The entertainment, all in all,
was very good OF its kind, but It Is
hardly the kind that a cultured audi
ence such as the school teachers COM
pose would be expected to relish. The
last number, the sleight-of-hand work,
was given while the audience was
gradually shifting towards the door.
Tomorrow night a more'appropriate
number is to be given. George r.
Vending, the famous lecturer is to
| discourse on Unseen Realities" The
st. Louis Globe-Democrat says of Mr..
Vending: HE is easily at the head
OF the popular lecturers Of the coun-
try" This is voiced by papers wher-
ever he has been and will be concurred
In by all who heard him on his pre-
vious visit to this city.

Yesterdays sessions of the county
teachers institute were held in Young
Mems Christian Association hall, where
the teachers could hear better, If 1t did
smell q deal worse owing to the prox-
unity of stables, than did court room
No. 1. Professor Coggswell, who Is
great favorite, conducted a half
hours musical drill. When the
institute was divided Professor Twit-
meyer, of Bethlehem, gave an address
in penmanship. The audience was
grouped about tables and a drill was
given in petition and muscular exer-
cises. The teachers were much inter-
very practical.
Miss Buckbee spoke on Reading"
giving a most interesting series of sug-
gestions. She advised use of the daily
newspapers in the class, discriminatory
of course. The work which is done by
the children themselves furnishes good
material for a lesson. They may thus
learn to write arithmetic properly as
we'll as their other studies. She advised
language lessons where the children
give their own experience in which the
teacher did not share.
Children will think about Saturdays
excursion, celebrations, holidays, fairs,
circus days, base ball games, and the
teacher cannot help it, let her utilize
these experiences. Have the children
describe their visits made and therein
give a lesson on morals and etiquette.
Corresponding between schools is an
other fruitful source of interest and
instruction.

HELPFUL DISCUSSION.

Miss G. A. Kenyon opened the dis
cussion on How to Secure the Support
of Patrons" with an excellent paper,
speaking first on the leading part in
social and intellectual life taken by the
teacher under the old regime, and de-
scribing the conditions in the early
days. She was happy to state that last
year the last relic of barbarism in the
shape of boarding round" was abol-
ished in LaCkawanna county. While
rejoicing in this progress it is however
to be regretted that the teacher has lost
his old time influence in his neighbor-
hood, since teacher and patrons are
seldom brought into contact. If
all parents know of the school work
of today be acquired from information
received from the children q queer un-
derstanding will result. She suggested
that when children do work at home
interest is awakened in the school. In
telligence regarding every day events
should be encouraged. Circulating Ii
braries and number of other mediums
were recommended. Above and beyond
| all these are the personality, education
| and culture of the teacher.
Mr.. Hanyon followed with clever re-
marks on the subject, "The Interest of
| the Parent is a Prime Factor in the
| Teachers Work" To secure this the
| teacher must have a manifest interest
| in the child. Talk to the pupils about
| their future. Frankness and honesty
| with the parents regarding the chill
! dren'S progress or lack of progress
! should be employed. Home work was
also recommended, together with the
| rpnOrt rd E,ntart ipnnOtS with
| special invitations to the parents are
perhaps more effective than any other
means.

INSPIRATION OF TEACHERS.


Miss Nellie Peck, an exceeding pretty
young woman, in a pretty white gown
over pink, spoke most delightfully."- on
Inspiration of the Teacher" She said
that while the teacher has the most
precious material in all the world to
work upon, yet frequently inspiration
seems lacking. His principal work is
to inspire the pupils to reach a higher
place. The teacher who leads his
pupils beyond and upward has laid
the foundation of their moral charac-
ter. Children, II properly directed, de-
velop a great love for poetry. Thus
they love to know of. Longfellow and
their little hearts throb with delight
at the reading of the thought regard
ing childhood in the lines:
''Ye are better than all the ballads
That were ever sung or said;
For ye are the living poems
And all the rest are dead"
She urged lessons from the lives of
truly great men; their love of truth
their honesty and courage. Her re-
marks were received with applause.
Professor F. II. Green, of Westches-
ter Normal school, spoke on literature
under the title of Medicine for the
Mind" Originality of today does not
| absolutely consist Of making something
| out of nothing. Literature has a rem.
edial and prevention power. He gave
many illustrations in his own exper,
ience regarding literary readings II
