TEACHERS INSTITUTE.
Superb Course Of Evening Entertainments.

County Superintendent J. K. Miller
is busily engaged making arrange
ments for the Annual Teachers In
stitute to be held here November 81
to December I, inclusive. He has
secured brilliant corps of instructors,
and the course of evening entertain
ment is equal if not superior to any
that he has ever had the pleasure Of
presenting to the teachers of Columbia
county. They are as follows:
MONDAY EVENING.
The opening entertainment of the
week will be the international Grand
Operatic Company, the personnel of
which is as follows: Miss Clara Doug
las Carroll, Miss Grace Lee Carroll,
sopranos; Miss Ethel Houston Du Ere,
contralto;Signor Agostino Montegriffo,
tenor; Mr. Arthur Randolph Seaton,
baritone; Sig. Comincio Gnarro, musl-
cal director and pianist. The pro-
gram will be in three parts. The first
part will consist of solos, duets, trios
and quartettes. For the second part,
the second act of Flotow's Grand
Opera "Martha" will be given, to be
followed by the performance of Cav
alleria Rusticaua, as part three. The
company comes with the endorsement
of press and public wherever it has APP
peared.
TUESDAY EVENING.
DR.. Frank Bristol will lecture. Sub.
ject brains. The Michigan City
E0eRiRg Despatch says of him: "Rev.
Frank Bristol appeared at the Armory
last night, under the Epworth League
Lecture Course, IN his lecture on
'Brains.' The speaker captured his
audience from the start. He is very
rapid talker and he opened his speech
by few minutes of exceptionally rapid
speaking, which commanded the
closest of attention from the beginning.
From that time on the people were
grasping each word as it was uttered,
and Rev. Bristol was carrying them
along by his oratory as completely as
if they had been part OF his own in
terested and scholarly intellect. For
nearly two hours he gave to the audi
ence a stream overhowing with wit,
pathos and inspiring words Of patri-
otism, which one must have heard to
appreciate it."
WEDNESDAY EVENING.
The concluding number of the
Course will be Mr.. Alton Packard in
his celebrated art entertainment and
chalk talks. AS guarantee of his
ability to please an audience we take
from the Kinton, Ohio, MeaoS-Re-
publican the following: "Mr. Packard
is an artist who makes his fingers do
what tongue cannot do. From the
time he took up his situation before
the easels till the very close he held
his audience intsntly watching every
move and wondering what those few
strokes of the crayon would bring forth.
In his pictures he not only entertains,
but instructs by showing how the pen
Gil is made to portray character, not
only in people, but in the landscape.
His story of hat was clever way OF
portraying various types of men we
meet. AS an entertainment, the affair
was great success. Mr.. Packard is
beyond a doubt, star in his line ol
work, and worthy follower in the
footsteps of the great Mast"

FLAMES PLAY HAVOC.
A Large Barn, the Property Of John K. Bittcn.
bender Destroyed Friday Night.

Just as the tenant, William Baylor
and his family were preparing to retire
about ten o'clock Friday night, Mr..
Baylor glanced out of the upstairs
window and was horrifed to see the
large barn enveloped in flames. With
out taking time to put on all his
clothes he rushed out of the house,
and lone handed tried to save the
stock, consisting of horses and cows,
but before he had succeeded the fire
overlook him and he was compelled
to abandon the task and as a result
two cows and a calf perished while
six other cows were badly burned.
The other contents of the building,
hay, grain, farming impliments,
wagons, harness, etc, were totally
destroyed.
The old bell in the Town Hall was
used to give the alarm, this was fol-
lowed by an alarm sent in from box
al, located at the corner of East and
Sixth street. The response from those
most needed in such an emergency
was prompt, but owing to the out of
the way location of the burning struct-
ure, succor from the fremen was i'm
possible and all that could be done
was to conhne it to the building
already doomed.
The origin of the fire is deep
mystery. Mr.. Baylor had been into
town and returned home about eight
O'Clock, at which time everything was
alright. 1t appears to be the general
opinion that it was the work of an
incendiary, but of this there is lack
of evidence to substantiate the belief,
unless from a basis of pure malice
and such motive is hardly conceiv-
able.
The loss will be quite heavy but
the insurance will probably cover
everything.
At the Opera House fair sized
audience had assembled to witness
the performance of kidnapped In
New York The curtain had just gone
down on the second act when some
one, observing the reflection in the
skv, caused by the burning barn,
thoughtlessly and without any consid
Grafton for the liability of casualties
in such case, yelled "hre" at the
top of his voice. In an instant the
audience was rushing for the doors
and not until the location Of the fire
was known, could order be restored
Any person who displays such a lacl
of sense by yelling fire in any building
and thus endangers the lives of the
people there congregated, deserves te
be severely dealt with, but luckily fol
him he was not known.

FOR OUR BOYS TO REMEMBER.

There is lots more courage in being
whipped by larger boy than yourself
in a good cause than there is in whip
ping little fellow. It marks the diff
ference between boy and bully.
Don't kick your dog because you
know he will forgive you. A boy that
takes a mean advantage of dogs good
nature is never the kind of fellow
to take on camping trip.
One good turn deserves another, but
it generally brings a good many more
than one. A good turn is always good
investment-cheap,s safe, and pays the
biggest dividends of any stock in the
market. If you don't believe it, just
buy few shares.
Boys will be boys" is a mighty poor
excuse for any act that is unworthy Of
boy. Boys will be men is what should
be borne in mind, and If they are man.
ly boys they will be brave, generous
gentlemen, and there's only one thing
better-a true gentlewoman.-N. Y.

regiment had been withdrawn from the
firing line at San Fernando and was re-

mean that Gen. Otis would soon send

followed by the independence and
recognition of the Philippines by the
United States. This was the influence
which enabled the rebels to hold out.
