WANT TO CLOSE THEIR PLACES.
Committee of Butchers Waited Upon
the Mayor.

Nearly all of the retail butchers Of
the city are anxious to keep their places
of business closed on Sundays and yes
terday a committee representing them
waited on Mayor Bailey to ascertain
If it would not be possible to secure
some assistance from the city author
tiles in closing up the places of the
graspng merchants who insist upon
keeping their shops open.
The committee represented that dur
ing the summer months 1t is necessary
for butchers to keep their shops open
Sunday morning for the accommodation
of persons who have no means in their
homes of keeping meats fresh. This
argument does not hold good in the
winter and the merchants who keep
their shops open as an accommodation
to customers rather than because OF
the profits that accured, want to keep
their places closed on Sundays from
now until warm weather sets in again.
Mayor Bailey said he would consult
with the city solicitor about the mat
ter. There is little that can be done,
however, unless the old blue laws are
revived,

ATTENDANCE LARGE.

The attendance yesterday was lack
ing only twelve of being perfect. And
it remained so from the beginning to
the close Of the session. This is very
good showing in the whole county. eX-
elusive of the Scranton and Carbon
dale teachers. Every teacher is re-
quired to enroll and secure a ticket
which costs $1.25 to go into the fund
for defraying expenses. The enroll
ment committee consists of Professors
T. j. Coyne, of Lackawanna township:
John j. O'Hara, of Throop: g. Il.

ecutive work by Superintendent +. y.
Bovard, of Dunmore. Professor The
ron C. Osborne, of Moosic, is general
secretary, and Miss j. y. Mooney, of
Dunmore, assistant secretary. Profess
sors Il. II. Martinez Madison: Thomas
+. Joyce, of Lackawanna; and John
A. Moyles, of Winton, are the audit
ors.
All the preliminary work was over
with in the forenoon except the enroll
ment of some teachers who did not ar
rive in the city until afternoon. They
enrolled after adjournment. Profess
sors T.. A. Delaney, of Fell; T.. b.
Rogers, of Elmhurst; +. S. McCarty,
of Mayfield: Carl Tiffany, of Benton;
Ralph d. White, of Scott; and Will
liam +. Jameson, of Glenburn, were
appointed ushers. Their duty is not so
much to find seats for the teachers
as to get the teachers of each district
seated near one another.
superintendent Taylor called the
opening session to order at l.3O, and in
troduced Professor Cogswell, of Bing-
hamton, formerly of Scranton, to con-
duct the musical exercises. The sing

made some announcements, and intro

by the teachers last year.
CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.
His subject was Contagious Dis

work of the teacher because he was
once a teacher, and now he has little
ones. The teacher he said has q Won

gave all the credit OF his success to
his teacher. The prosperity of the
country depends mainly upon the edu-
cation of the children. On 1t depends
the health, wealth and happiness Of
the people.
Teachers who labor for the sake of
praise or the money obtained are lack
ing in appreciation of their work. 1t
is to Sbe regretted that better salaries
are n0t paid. That. Dr. Bateson- said
is chargeable to corrupt politics and

Different in several ways from the
Institutes of old is the twentieth an
nual institute OF the county teachers
which opened in the main room of the
court house yesterday afternoon. For
merly the institute was put in tho
catalogue of anus ements. 1t was held
around Christmas holiday time; the
teachers prepared themselves before
the glass of fashion. and If the
thoughts awakened by the lecturers
had passed away from memory the
next week, there was less disappoint-
ment among the majority of the teach
ers than il the weather was baG and
pleasure was scanty.
superintendent Taylor has introduce
ed some innovations that serve to re-
duce the feeling of ennui that was gem
Grated from the method of conducting
the oldtime Institutes. The sessions
are not so dry and statistical and
the topics are treated by speakers who
can make themselves entertaining, in
teresting, and instructive. a liberal
amount of time is set aside on the
programme for intermissions. and a
musical or literary feature is provided
to interlard the addresses.
Attendance will be more punctual by
abandoning the ticket-punching sys-
tcm of recording. Mr.. Taylor has a
list of ali the teachers and calls the
roll every session. The programme is
arranged to distribute the wcighty lee
lures, so that not moro thar one is
given in each session. MIR. Taylor
selects the subjects that the speakers
must discuss instead of the old way
of letting them choose whatever they
desired. In q word the institute of to-
day is for the benefit of the mind and
the intellectually OF the teachers,
without casting aside the social feature
which swallowed up all the time in
other days.

compare with it. It's fine dining car
service on all trains avoids the neces-
