BEST CITIZENSHIP

It is long ride and a weary ride from
Washington, D. G., 10 Canton, Ohio: Lut
President Mckinley, oppressed as he is
with the weight of public cares, did not
hesitate to ride from Washington, D. c., to
Canton, Ohio in order 10 deposit his vote,
as good American citizen is in duty
bound TO do on the day of election. He has
done nothing since he became President
more creditable. He has thereby set a
pattern ofpatriotism for his countrymen.
Nothing is more essential to the safety Of
the republic than that the right Of SUI.

mote. Yet in Philadelphia not one-half
ofthe voters would take the trouble to

Nnw CASTLE COUSIN INsrIrUrH.

The teachers of New Castle county viii
assemble at the Opera House in this toWr
next week for the annual institute, fol
three days, Wednesday, Nov. 18th, to FRI
day, Nov. II.
The corps of instructors which has been
secured for the Teachers Institute which is
to be held here the middle of next week is
undoubtedly the best and strongest that has
ever been secured for any institute i'll the
State. The instructors stand in the fore
most ranks of institute lecturers in the
| country and SO great is the demand for their
services that they can be secured only by
i engaging them several months in advance.
0. T. Corson, ex-State Superintendent Of
Ohio, is the president of the National
Teachers Association; DIR. J. B. DeMontle
is probably the best Popular Science lecturer
in the country; DR.. Martin G. Brumbaugh,
instructor in Pedagogy, is in the University
of Pennsylvania. With two of these the
people of Middletown are already acquaint'
ed and that they are popular here is proven
by the fact that their lectures have been at
tended by ever Increasing numbers.
Then there is the genial Henry Houck.
There is not teacher anywhere who knows
him. and be is probably known by more
teachers than any other institute lecturer
Of to-day, who does not love happy, en-
thusiastic, big-hearted Houck.
Mrs. Miller, State Instructor in Nature
Study in the Institutes Of New York, will
lecture on her line of work on Wednesday.
This has been fortunate selection as the
teachers of the county have been doing ma
ture work for the past year or so and the
help which they will be able to get from
Mr.. Miller's addresses will be very useful.
DR.. George A. Harter and one or two of |
the professors at Delaware College will also
help in the institute work.
One of the most encouraging features of
the recent institutes is the increasing num-
ber of the citizens of the town and vicinity
who attend the daily sessions and with the
excellence of the instructors this year it is
to be hoped that the Opera House will be
filed during the day as well as in the even
ing. The evening entertainments are fully
up to those of previous years. DR.. Frank
J. Fox will lecture on Wednesday night.
On Thursday night there will be the Rog-
.rs-Grilley entertainments and on Friday

Tfxo Sfreef-Carn Collide.

Two cars, one on the Traction line and
the other on the Clay-street line. collided
at Seventh and Broad streets yesterday
morning. but aside from wrecking the
two tenders no damage was done.
The Traction Company car was going
east. When IL reached Seventh a mule
car was standing on the northwest cor
ner Of Broad. and obscured the view Of
Seventh street. north. The car started to
make the crossing. when an east-bound
Clay-strset car doomed up coming across
Broad street at a rapid speed. The Trac-
ton motorman shut of the current and
put on brakes quickly and stopped his
car just as his fender reached over the
Seventh-street tracks. The Clay-street
ear went right through the fender, and
both tenders were badly used up.
