 "The words of my text were first spoken by Our Lord to a family in sorrow. To them he showed his sympathy in hu' man grief, and his words were for q com fort of all in affliction.

TRE MURDERED GIVEN
 CHRISTIAN BURIAL
Bert Horton and His Wife Buried in the Cemetery.
DUN. FACET CLAMAT
Three Frateral Societies of Which Horton Was an Esteemed Mem- ber sent the Pallbearers- Services Attended by n Largo Crowd.

With all respect and mpressiveness were the remains of Bert Horton and Florence, his young wife, consigned to their eternal rest. Skagway's citizens, regardless of creed or clan. and lodges of three orders of which Mr. Horton was a member, attended the last sad rites.
 The funeral service proper was held in the Y. M C. A. hall. The room was more than filled with silent, sympathetic hear CTS, and many stood about on the side walks, who had been unable to gain ad- mission. The service of the Episcopal church, of which Mrs. Horton was a mem Der was conducted over the remains at the hall and at the grave. Rev. James C.. Cameron. rector, assisted by Mr, A. w. Klerulff, conducted the services. Commls- sioner Sehl5rede, Marshal Tanner. F, N. Sessions, E. K. Peoples and w. A. Reid assisted in the arrangements and the eere. monies, and the local lodges of the Knights of Pythlas, the Woodmen of the World and the Odd Fellows turned out in rank, wearing tokens of grief,
 The remains were conveyed from the undertaking plrlOrs to the hall at 2 o'clock under escort of the three lodges and twelve members, an equal number from each lodge. acting as pal-bearerS.
 The .palbearers were Odd Fellows Messrs. Flynn, BoscOw, Cleveland and Burg. WOOdmen-Messrs. Case, Shrader, Bast and Reynolds. Knights of Pvthias

ship to those we are laying to rest, We all feel for the living of this afflicted fam fly, especially because of the nature of the death and of the attendant circumstances.
 "The tragedy becomes a common sor- row because the act Is one against the community as we'll as against the lndlvid- ual. The presence of so many here are evidences of eondolence and brotherhood.
 "Thls service bespeaks not only our share In one common human life, but Vf the gift of life everlasting.
 "The motto 'Dum Facet clamat' - though dead he speakeih-engraved on the plate of the csskets and which is the motto of the Woodmen, reminds us that the blood of the victims cried out through the voice of conscience, and the evil deed came to light"
 After the address by the minister, the choir sang, and the audience was permit ted to pass up in file and view the easkets and pictures of Mr. and Mrs. Horton lying on the caskets, The pictures were taken just a year ago, shortly after the ill-fsted couple were joined in the tender ties of wedlock. As the little procession moved there were tears to be seen, and the hall was stiled and hushed. Variei were the walks of life of those who filed past the eoffins, and from different states and lands came the greater number to the north, bu, not all were from the south. Many Indians came, listened, looked and with the whites went quietly away.
 The easkets bore a number of beautiful floral pieces. several of which were pro- vided by Mrs, F. N. Sessions. and one a gift of the Oddfelows and one of the Woodmen.
 The procession from the Y. N. C. A hall to the cemetery was an imposing on, though mostly composed of the three ord CTS of which the deceased was a member At the grave Rev. James G. Cameron, th, Episcopal minister, conducted the usua services, and Commissioner Sehlbrede whC Is an OddfeIlow, made few remarks afte the bodies were low cred 10 their last rest ing places. This Is but few paces N N. E. of the Reid monument, and both of the bodies in separate coffins. were lad tC rest in the same grave.
 Commissioner Sehlbrede spoke for the fraterna orders generally rather than for the Oddielows. He said they were there as members of different orders to pay thelr last respects to the deceased, and in this gathering was found another illustration

What one writer has termed "a dull,
dark. drdb, soul-depressing morning."
was yesterday. but that didn't deter
the three hundred and sixty odd teach
Crs of the city from coming out in force
to attend the second days session o,
the institute. These sessions were full
of helpful instruction. the features of
the day probably being Miss Lucy
Wheelock's talk on Kindergarten
Work." and the appearance of the
irresistible and inimitable Henry
Houck, assistant state superintendent
of instruction.
The morning session opened with an
Invocation by Rev. q. l.. Alrich. pas
tor of the Grace Reformed church. and
singing by the teachers, led by Prof.
G. b. Dcrman. Miss Wheelock, who is
the president of the International Kin
dergarten association, and one of the
leading authorities on this subject in
the world then spoke on "Kindergar-
ten Work.
She cmphaSizCd the fact that chill
dren should be allowed to develop anu
not be forced into mans estate prcma-
turely.
After Miss Wheeock's talk there
was a brief intcrmiSSion, followed by
a vocal duet admirably rendered by
Miss Edith Martin and Mrs. II. S. Kel-
lcr Il. c. MetCalf, who was forum
atcly not obliged to leave the city yes
terday, then gave most helpful lee
ture on Reading and Letter Writ
ing" in which he told Of the import
ance of training the child to read COR
rcctly from the first moment it enters
school.
TEACHERS BORN. NOT MADE.
The last speaker of the morning ses-
sion was q. T. Carson. of Columbus,
Ohio, who gave an able address on
"Adap ptabilitY to Teach" He gave it
as his belief that real teachers are
born, not made. There has to be Il
natural bent for the thing one wishes
to succeed at. one characteristic tha
the true teacher should have is firm
belief In humanity.
The afternoon session was opened
with music, after which Mr.. Metca!f
gave his last lecture, speaking or
Grammar" He said that the child
should be taught that the proper way
To teach the construction of language
is to take ii To pieces, as one would n

the author of a work ON grammar IL
was not in favor of teaching the sub
ject from a book. "Thc book on lam
GuaGe," said he, should be used to
suggest things To the teacher: the
study itself should only he taught from
the blackboard. Grammar taught from
"A book is tedious, dry and uninterest-
ing"
Another thing which he said the
teacher should remember was the ne
cessity of letting the children find out
things for themselves. Mr.. Metcalf's 5
.alk was illustrated throughout with
demonstrations ON the blackboard.
William Roberts then sang Long
fellows THE Village Blacksmith" in
magnificent voice and was compelled
20 respond to an encore. He was fol-
owed by Miss Ruth +. Gould who

Her whole talk was an explanation
of a system of drawing which she be-
lieves should be introduced in all pri-
mary grades in order to properly de-
velop and train the child's intellect.
She calls it Spontaneous drawing" or
drawing by the child without instruc-
ton and by suggestion only. She told
how children should be posed and the
other children should be allowed to
draw them. The technique of draw
ing should not be taught in the lower
grades" she said.
She was followed by Mr.. Houck, who
always manages to get the teachers in
excellent humor. He first had every
body stand UP and sing America"
and then plunged into his address. He
didn't speak on anything in particular
but rather everything in general, tell
ing the teachers to get out in the woods
and the sunshine and away from the
city as much as possible He told a
number Of funny stories, laughing him
self as loud as anyone. AS one teacher
said yesterday, an institute wouldn't
be a success without Mr.. Houck.
Messrs. Houck and Corson and Miss
Gould will all speak today, and an es-
pecial feature will be Mayor Moir's
lecture on Bobby Burns" in the after

Spring
HujljnnOrs

It doesn't make any difference
whether you believe in the modern
theory and speak Of the cause of dis
eases as referable to germs, microbes
or bacilli, or whether you use the old
er and better understood terms Of
"humors and I" blood diseases -
Hoods Sarsaparilla cures them all
JUST THE SAME. II cures those
eruptions, boils and pimples which are
so likely to appear in the Spring;
cures scrofula diseases in their most
tenacious forms; cures salt rheum or
eczema and relieves the itching and
burning; adapts itself equally we'll
to, and also cures, dyspepsia and all
stomach troubles due to generally
weak condition and thin, anemic
blood; cures nervous troubles, which,
in nine cases out Of ten, exist because
the impure blood cannot supply prop
er nerve food; cures debility and
that tired feeling, which just as surely
indicate that the blood is lacking in
vitality and the elements Of health.
This rs not merely modern theory but
it is solid, up-to-date fact. Hoods
Sarsaparills has had such remarkable
success along these lines that it is not
too much to say it is the best Spring
Medicine, blood purifier, stomach and
nerve tonic that money can buy.
