child to think, then to observe, then
to combine. Education is not merely
b instruct, it is to develop. 1t is not
merely a knowledge of facts, it is a
waking up and growth of the mind,
by assimilation and discipline. To be
a successful teacher must require
many qualiGcations--and it is certain
!, ly not an easy task, although it is
said that some persons have the art
instinctively, that they are born with
it, and find it quite an easy matter
to teach the young idea how to shoot.
while others find it takes all the ener-
gics Of their minds AMI bodies to
rightly instruct tho little creatures
intrusted to their care.
In the first place what are the m ost
efectual methods of managing class
to get the best results? There are
divers ideas suggested for the choice
OF the teacher-some advocate the
old method recommended by Solo>
mon, thinking that the sting of the
switch rouscs up the activity of the
brain, others that moral suaslon alone
ought to be used. All agree that
some sort Of stimulus should be EN-.
ployel to awaken the interest of the
young pupil. Sometimes it is a
prize. as reward Of merit--some.
tunes it IS fear Of punishment-some,
times by a little judicious praise
sometimes it is little scolding, but
all these and more are t. little purpose
if the teacher does not inspire genu.
inc love of study in tho child, and TO
do this, the teacher should make the
lessons as agreeable and entertaining
as possible. Cultivate a desire in
the child to d. his work well, keep
mind and haad constantly employed.
The attracsivenc5s of the subject, If
properly taught, will develop in the
mind Of the child an enthusiastic
love of knowledge. TO do this, re-
quires a great deal of tact and a
world of patience, as [ have learned
during my twelve years experience
in the schovl room.

OIL WAREHOUSE ON FIRE.
stamdard7 OH Company suffers . Loss
of $2O,OOO in Port
land.

PORTLAND, Jan. 23.-The one-story
brick. warehouse of the Standard OIL Com
pany, located on East Water street, was
totally destroyed by fire this afternoon,
entailing loss estimated at $4,000.
The fire started in the basement under
the store room where large amount of
oil in cases was kept. The entire fire de-
partment of the city was called out, and
their efforts were directed towards saving
the oil tanks, where 100000 gallons of oil
were stored.
Every few minutes case Of oil would
explode and sheets of flame leaped hum
dreds of feet into the air. For time q
high wind prevailed which spread burning
oil over several acres and it was with
great difficulty that the firemen saved
other warehouses in the vicinity. The
fire burned fiercely all day and it was late
tonight before the lake Of oil had burned
out.
Several engines will be kept throwing
water on the ruins all night to prevent the
fire from spreading. Had the flames
reached the huge tanks Of oil the loss
would have been much heavier. There
was no insurance on any Of the property.

AN OPEN DOOR IS ASSURED.
Success of the Negotiations Con-
Quoted by Secretary Hay With
Countries of Europe.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The success
of the negotiations instituted by Secretary
Hay with view of insuring the ''open
door, for American trade in China may
now be regarded as assured The last
phase of the negotiations was the re-
duction of the arrangements reached in
formally to the shape of what are known
as definite notes.
This work has been going on for some
weeks, with the result that every one of
the powers that participated in the nego-
tons has returned to the state depart
ment this written agreement with the ex-
ception of japan and Italy. There is not
the slightest doubt in these cases, for
japan was one of the first of the ma
tions approached by the United States to
welcome our overtures, while Italy vol
unfairly entered the negotiations with
out waiting for advances from the Unit
ed States.

GOLD DEMOCRATS HOLD OFF
MIR. Bryan in the Hands OF Single
Takers and Free Silver

NEW YORK. Jan. 23.-William Jennings
Bryan took breakfast at the Hoffman
house this morning with number OF free
silver and single tax leaders.
Mr.. Bryan's callers today were nearly all
silverites. The Gold Democrats held aloof.
Tonight Mr.. Bryan dined at the Demo-
cratic Club as the guest Of President John
w. Kellar, with twelve others.
The clubhouse was crowded from
o'clock. The fact that Col Bryan was to
be a guest at the club caused the seats In
the general dining room on the third floor
to be at a premium. Most of the tables in
the general dining room were taken pos
session of as early as o'clock. The rooms
and the corridors of the club were throng-
ed long before Mr.. Bryan arrived.
Mr.. Bryan was accompanied to the club
by James 8. Oliver. sergeant-at-arms Of
the national Democratic committee, and
ex-Gov. Hogg. of Texas.
President John w. Kellar, Of the club.
pushed his way forward and grasped Mr..
Bryan by the hand.
There was a crush in the dining room,
and many persons were standing. The
table at which the fourteen were to sit
down was near the Fifth avenue front.
There were other tables all about 1t, all
thronged with prominent members of the
club.
When Mr.. Bryan entered the brilliantly
lighted room there was much applause.
Those at the table of honor were: John
w. Kelar, w. j. Bryan. Maurice F. Hola-
han, ex-Gov. Hogg, Judge James A. O'Gor-
man. o. H. p. Belmont, Norman E. Mack.
John Whalen, John F. Carroll, Thomas F.
Grady. Bernard J. York, Andrew Freed
man, DR.. ]. B. Crosby and w. L. Brown.
There was a running fire of~conversation
on all sides of the table.
For little over an hour Mr.. Bryan and
his fellow diners at the little table ate
and drank. Just as the last course had
been finished Mayor Van Wyck entered the
room, jostled his way over to the table and
sat down at one corner. between Commits
sioner Kellar and Mr.. Bryan.
When the diners arose the party proceed
ed to the large reception room. There a
line was formed and President Kellar in
troduced those who shook hands with his
guest. Nearly all the heads of the de-
partments of the city were represented.
At few minutes past 10 o'clock Mr..
Bryan complained of headache and was
driven to his hotel.
After Mr.. Bryan had left ex-Gov. Hogg
said:
This shows that there is no dissension.
The club has given Mr.. Bryan a royal re-
ception. OF course, he is here not as a
guest of the club, but you can see that he
is welcomed by all the members
Many Of the members declared that the
reception gave a decided emphasis to the
fact that the protest of Doyle. Fox and
Roosevelt did not represent the sentiment
of the members of the club as a whole.

MINERS BEING IMPORTED.
Nonunion Men to Take the Place OF
strikers I'm the Country
Around snndOn.

sANDON, b. c., Jan. 23.-The Silver
Lead Mine Owners Association, since the
refusal OF the striking miners to accept
the offer of compromise by the payment
of 1926 for eight hours work. is more
than ever determined not to accede to the
demands of the strikers for $3.50 per day.
This evening fifty-two men arrived from
Vancouver to work in the mines. They
are all nonunion men, and come under
contracts at the mine owners rates. Forty,
who are skilled miners, are to receive $3
per day, and twelve muckers have agreed
to work for $3.50 for eight hours labor.
They left Vancouver by train two days
ago, although representatives OF the
Miners Union endeavored to induce them
not to come hither. They are to begin
work tomorrow, and the fifty-two men as
sert that they have no desire to abrogate
their contract with the mine owners. al
though the strikers are confident of their
ability to persuade the new corners to
desert their employment.
II the mine owners are able to keep
these men at work, another batch OF fifty
will be brought from Vancouver next
week. 1t is hoped In this way gradually
to circumvent the strikers.
As Secretary d. c. Hebler, of the Min
ers' Union. is now awaiting trial for a
recent demonstration against other nom
union men brought te work in the mines.
no violence at the hands Of the strikers
is feared tomorrow for the newcomers.

Phinney Case in Supreme Court.
The case of Nellie Phinney against the
Mutual Life Insurance Company, of New
York, which involves $4,000. was argued
today before the supreme court, Staunton
Warburton. of Tacoma, appearing for the
heirs of Phinney. The question argued
was whether the policy did not avoid for
feiture prior to the death OF Phinney be-
cause of the failure of the company to send
out notice Of non-payment of premium as
required by the statutes OF the
state of New York, and whether
that statute could be waived In
other states. This was the first
time the question has been presented to
the supreme court, and in view of the fact
that 1t was decided to receive the case and
not remand it to the lower court is looked
upon as being favorable to the contention
of the Phinney heirs.

TO REWARD EXPLORERS.
Senator shoup Introduces n Bill to
Aid Four Survivors of Gen.
GreeIy's Expedition.

Special Dispatch to the Post t-Intelligencer.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Shoup,
from the committee on military affairs.
has reported favorably bill to place Hem
ry Biederbick. Julius r. Frederick, Fran
els Long and Maurice Connell on the re-
tired list OF enlisted men of the army.
This bill has been up in two preceding
congresses, and has twice passed the sem
ate, but each time failed of consideration
in tho house for want of sufficient time
for consideration. These men are sur
vivors of the Lady Franklin bay expedi-
tion, which was under the command of
Gen. A. w. Greely. Twenty-Five officers
and enlisted men OF the United States
army were assigned to duty with this
force and Gen. Greedy was authorized to
employ Dr. Octave Pavy, OF Greenland,
for duty as surgeon. 1t is a deplorable
fact that nineteen OF these men died in
the Arctic regions. thirteen OF them OF
starvation. The sufferings and privations
OF these men cannot be described Four
Of the survivors. the beneflciaries named
in the bill. have been discharged from
the army. two of them, Biederbicls, and
Frederick for disability. and Long and
Connell under the law reducing the corps.
All four have first-class military records.
In letter to congress Gen. Greedy says
that during the last year at Cape Sabine
these men suffered such torturcs by cold.
exposure and slow starvation as brought
them to the verge of the grave. Some
provision has long ago been made for all
the other survivors Of that Inflated expe-
dition but these mems services and suf-
ferings have been wholly unrecognized.
and they have been turned out of the
army after long and faithful service, en-
tirely unprovided for.
1t may not be inappropriate to state that
the American expedition to Lady Frank
lin bay was the most successful in the
record Of Arctic expeditions during the
years of 1881 to 1888. in which years it
made an unbroken set OF scientific OBJ
servations; that 1t also made the most
northerly latitude at that time ever at
tanned by man; that 1t extended the
known coast of Greenland more than 100
miles to the northeast; that 1t determine
ed the physical character OF Grinnell land.
probably the most remarkable spot in the
Arctic circle, and that all its labors,
whether in the field of science or discov-
cry, were made without injury or loss of
any member of the expedition, nor did
any officer or man sustain any injuries
at that time impairing his physical condi-
ton. Moreover. the party made an Arc
tic boat retreat for 500 miles southwark
to meet the promised relief, and landed at
Cape Sabine with every man Of the orig
inal party in good health, with scientific
records. diaries and all the important in
struments intact. All the sufferings and
deaths of members of the party resulted
from the failure of cooperating expedi-
tions.
