THE Teachers Institute for Kent
county (Which seems to uniformly
strike good weather) is as much en-
joyed by our citizens in both the day
and night sessions as the teachers.
The Institute affords an intellectual
feast for this town and vicinity, and
serves a high purpose in it's social as
pects-and ''Institute week" is al
ways looked forward to with inter
est. So much so, that for the day
exercises for three days, the Opera
House being crowded of afternoons
and sometimes in the mornings beyond
its seating capacity. Smyrna could
hardly be called slow last week
in the way of evening entertain
ments. Commencing with Sunday
night was Mrs. J. K. Barney's "trip
around the world with the white rib
bon." Wednesday evening, Prof. j.
B. Denote on the "Harp of the
Senses, or the Secret of Character
Building" Thursday evening, Bishop
G. H. Fowler, on abraham Lincoln;' p
Friday evening, the Rogers -Grilley
Recitals-harp and elocution-a on
Sunday evening, sermon by Rev. G.
A. Hill, in the interest of the society,
Ancient Order of United Workman.
This ought to be amply satisfactory to
a country town, in meeting its literary
wants.

won the hearts of the Smyrna people.
He did not speak first. for after prayer
by Rev. Henry Thomas of st. Peters
Episcopal church, this town, Mrs.
Mary Rogers Miller, of New York
State, addressed the teachers of the
Institute on "Nature Study in the
Public Schools" She took up the life
of the clover, how it grew, and the
chemical elements which entered into
the life of the plant. During the day
she gave three lectures on nature
studies, which to the kindergarten de-
partments of school work, was doubt
less very interesting. DR.. M. G.
Brumbaugh followed and in his
practical remarks on ''School Dis
cipline," he gave some we'll pointed
thoughts on the educational process of
the school life of child, the emotional
activity that naturally controls it, and
the inauguration upon which it de-
rives so much wholesome pleasure.
One of the best powers of control for
teacher to cultivate, is ''Trust in the
Children" Much depended upon the
parents, in requiring obedience from
their children at home, and in sending
them to school each day in normal
physical condition. DIR. Brumbaugh
impressed earnestly the duty of the
teacher to teach the children that they
must work; that after all the world
does not require so much of one what
he or she has actually learned, but
what he or she can do to be of service
to the community, the State and the
world. 1t was highly important for
every teacher to impress upon the
minds of her pupils the duty of work,
and to make them see pleasure in per-
forming it.
Professor Powell, of Delaware Col
lege occupied the platform few min
utes before the Institute adjourned,
and on behalf of Delaware College, Of
fered them the assistance of that insti-
tuition in introducing nature in the
public schools.
After the Committee on Resolution
made their report. the Institute was
declared adjourned.
The last entertainment of the course

charming in every respect. Both were
artists in their line, and both received
the appreciation of the Smyrna folk

THE excitement over the election in
Kentucky continues. There is no
doubt now but that Taylor, the Re
publican candidate, has a majority of
the votes, but Goeble, the leading
Democratic candidate, seems de-
termined to use the ''Kent county
method" in getting possession of
the office. The Kentuckians talk
both winchesters and law, when
it comes to throwing out whole coun-
ties.

THE secret treaty recently made be-
tween England and Germany, the
emperor being allied to England rather
than Russia in acquiring new terrific
ries and extending civilization taken in
conjunction with the good feeling ex-
isting between England and the
United States shows that the liberty
loving principles of Tutonic origin are
to dominate in future civil zation.

VOSe Piano

When a man shouts from
the roof-tops that he is a gen
tleman, it is safe to assume
that he is anything but a gen
tleman.
The makers of the Vose
piano do not claim that their
pianos are as good as the
Chickering or the Steinway,
but they keep on making good
pianos-we think the best
after these two great ones.
Philadelphia thinks so too.
Since we took up the Vose-
not very long ago-the piano
has sprung into wide popular
ity and it deserves it. The
tone, action, finish, design,
and work are so good that the
price is a surprise TO almost
everybody.
These and other pianos may
be bought and paid for all at
once, or by monthly payments
we adding interest at four
per cent. per year for the ac-
commodation.
If you would like to have
tuning done by our Chickering
tuners-we do it particularly
well-send your orders to oul

Time Saving Authorizations.

Business houses generally, and
stockholders in particular, have
adopted a mixed method of abbreyia-
ton and phonetic spelling, in. order to
get their letters written more quickly,
and also to reduce the expense in the
writing. In the various branches of
trade, says the New York Tribune, ?"
the words peculiar to~>that particular
branch are abbreviated, and certain
common words, like the article 'the, -
are simply indicated by letter or let
ters.
The opening sentence of the daily
morning letter of one of the we'll
known commission houses yesterday
read:
''T fortnightly settlements on Lndn.
Stk Exchge which begin on Wed, will
probably show quiet a short int. in
Arms. in is. quarter, and an adv in
these stox in Lndn mkt. to-day is at
tributed to- is. belief
This is a fair sample of the way the
system works. Here all words peculiar
to brokerage are abbreviated. Year
becomes yr; week, wk; increase, inc;
market, mkt; commission, conn., bank,
blk, etc. Then certain other words of
common usage are also abbreviated as:
The becomes t; this, is; that, Tt; have,
nv, etc.
Users say it is tremendously con-
venient, but it certainly is not to the
uninitiated, for, like olives, it is an ac-
quired taste.

pearance, having assembled in the
court of the Palace and from there
conveyed to the steamer dock in car
riages.
Embarkation consumed but a few
minutes Lines were promptly cast off
and with her coIors flying in the cool
breeze that swept the bay the Mark
ham was soon speeding out toward the
heads.
The party aboard the tug was dis
tinguished one, representing nearly ev-
cry county in the State and various
branches of Federal, State and muni-
cipal government. Among those who
composed the party were General John
Fl. Dickinson and the members of his
staff, Adiutant General Seamans, Col
onels Chadbourne, Burgin. Howell Kirk
patrick, Mclaughlin and Sanborn and
Pippy of the Governors staff; Briga-
der General Warfield and his staff,
Brigadier General Muller and his staff,
representatives of General Last of Los
Angeles; Captain Turner of the naval
battalion and his staff, members of the
Legislature, heads Of the different State
departments and Mrs. Victor Duboce
and lady friend.
A band of twelve pieces was also
aboard and the tugs larder was we'll
supplied with the good things which
make a bay excursion enjoyable.
The Markham passed out few min
utes after l o'clock, and half an hour
later she was lying alongside the in
bound big transport. The two vessels
remained together just long enough to
permit a ladder to be lowered to the
Markham and the transfer of Gov
ernor Gage to the Shermans deck.
AS the Governor climbed over the rail
and was received by Colonel Duboce he
was greeted with three cheers from the
officers and men of the First California,
who crowded the forward part of the
vessel. The scene was one that will
long be remembered by those who wit
messed it. Governor Gage was the first
representative of the State the volun-
teers had had the pleasure of greeting
since their return to the jurisdiction OF
the United States. and their enthusiasm
seemingly knew no bounds. They wav-
ed their hats and cheered again and
again.
The Governor thanked them for theii
welcome to him aboard their vessel, and
then briefly recited the plans for re-
ceiving them when they land to-mor-
row.
In the meantime the Markham was
lying off from the Sherman, but with
in calling distance, in order to permi
Colonel Duboce to exchange a few low
ing words with his wife.
The Bulletin gives the following OF
the Governors welcome:
The State tug Governor Markham lef'

Commissioners quarters at Il O'Clock

ecutive of the State and his staff, be
sides a number of Signal Corps mer

! Grated from stem to stern with the
State, Native Sons and national colors
and at her bow was mounted a rapiC

turning volunteers of the First Regi

sticks of the Markham were the three
