WARM DAY FOR
CITY TEACHERS
OPENING SESSION OF THEIR
ANNUAL INSTITUTE.

DR.. George w. Phillips, City Super
intendent Of Schools, Gave Short
Address in Calling the Teachers to
order--An Address Was Also De-
livered by President John Gibbons.
Prof. E. L. Kemp and DR.. George
E. Croft Were the Instructors-Pro-
gramme for Today's Sessions.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1902-09-02

Nearly everybody but the teachers
had a holiday yesterday. They spent
the sweltering afternoon in the High
school auditorium and heard as well as
circumstances would permit all that
the learned speakers had to say at the
city institute. While 1t was rather
more comfortable there than might
have been expected, 1T was by no
means the summer resort most of the
teachers had left in order to be pres
ent.
1t was an exceptionally attractive as
semblage, for the faces were not worn
and tired and they wore light, pretty
frocks, and there were many futter-
ings of ribbons and glmpses of rosy
cheeks OF course. there were men, in
groups more or less morOse in hue, but
then.
DR.. George W. Phillips was greeted
with much enthusiasm on the occasion
of his first appearance in an official
capacity as superintendent since his
election. In his own pleasant way, he
greeted the teachers, but with cer-
tain nervousness, he said, because Of
the novelty of the situation. He re-
ferred to the unintentiOnal fixing of the
institute on Labor Day as it's beginning
and tentatively suggested that if the
teachers preferred to come on Friday
afternoon, instead of the present occa-
sion, they might-but at this everyone
having already come on the present oc-
casiOn, laughed outright.
OPENED WITH MUSIC.
The institute began with music, led
by Prof. c. B. Derman, and as if the
halo of the summer girl still fingered,
over those in attendance, the song .of
"juan;ta" was one asked for-and the
refrain Of ASK thy sould if we should
part ending with Lean thou on my
heart" was sung with apparent re-
gard for the sentiment.
DR.. Phillips introduced President
John Gibbons, of the board of control,
who gave one of his characteristic
speeches, brimful of good nature and
kindly expressions of regard for the
teachers. He spoke Of the salaries, and
declared tnat while the board had
hoped to increase them $40 this year. it
had been impossible, but that the
teachers would receive the missing IS

also be reduced. The limit of salaries,
as regards length of service, has been
reduced from thirteen years to nine
years.
Mr.. Gibbons was greeted with a
storlh of applause on his appearance
and it was evident that he is very
popular with the teachers. DR.. John
O'Malley was the only other member of
the board on the platform during the
afternoon.
Prof. f. l.. Kemp, principal of the
Stroudsburg Normal school, began a
series of talks, which he will give, taxi
ing as his subject. Geography" but in
its relation to history. He said that
the history Of the United States is
learning to know what sort of national
life we have and how we came to have
it. Physical features of the land is one
of the factors used in the development
of national life.

ENGLAND'S HISTORY.

He spoke of Taine's history of Eng
liSh literature, and that it began by
stating that the north of Germany is
the cradle Of the English race. Much
of the English character can be ac-
counted for because of that struggle
for lie in the low countries, where
the land had to be wrested from the
sea. There could be no history of the
Sahara Desert, no history of Green
land, because people had not lived
there to make history. The wonderful
wealth of America is due to her extent
and natural resources. Rockefeller
could endow Chicago university and
plan to give away $2S4OOO,OOO, because
the foundation of his wealth was in the
depths of the earth. No Spaniard
could endow university with SO much
money, because he had not the cash.
The Spaniards had no such resources as
ours.
Prof. Kemp then detailed his applica-
tiOn of the introduction by showing
an easy method of teaching history.
The Revolutionary war, he said, is al
ways hard proposition for the stu
dent. If he would recall the fact that
Boston, New York, Philadelphia,
Charleston and Savannah were the only
points of conflict, because they were the
desired keys TO the situation, it would
be an easy matter to gather incidents
about these centers.
After an intcrmission, Miss Louise
Connolly, of Newark, was introduced
and gave charming talk. She is con-
sidered one of the best instructors at
institutes in America, and is always
heard with vivid interest. She illus
trated in a graphic way the kind of
literature that the High school children
OF Boston read. She urged the teach
ers to learn to know good literature
and teach the children to know it, This
cannot be done by selecting an author,
for the man who wrote about Mrs.
Hauksbee and her kind, wrote also
THE Recessional." 1t does not do to
rely upon the Judgment of Sunday
school library committees. She favored
but not OVERRIDING it, and

take over to itself all the smelling and refining
plants and other property owned by said defen-
dents.
''1he said new corporation, which named
the American Smelling and Refining company, de
fendant aforesaid Incorporated under the laws
of the state of New Jersey April 4, A. D., 1899,
with authorized capital stock of sos 900, but
the amount of capital stock with which said Amer
ican Smelling and Refining company commenced
buiness only the sum of $1,000. That said
American Smelling and Refining company was or
ganzed by the aforesaid defendants for the
specific and deliberate purpose of creating mo-
nopoly of the business of smelling and refining
gold and silver and other valuable ores and metals
aforesaid and to substantially engross the same,
contrary to the pull bic policy and the laws of the
state of Colorado
1t is further charged that the defendants
rendered their properties to the American Smelling
and Refining company for the sole purpose of ere
ating monopoly, and therefore illegally abnegated
their public duties.
1t is therefore charged against the American
Smelling and Refining company that it makes ex-
tortonate charges for the treatment of ores that it
receives illegal rebates from the railroads. and that
it arbitrarily refuses to receive the of certain
parties for treatment, although such persons offer
to pay its Illegal and extortionate charges. That
such conflict is unjust, tyrannical and arbitrary
The attorney neral further charges that the
total value of the property of the smelter trust is
not to exceed S2 ooo but that by reason of its
extortonate charges and its secret rebates from the
railroads, it is able to pay dividends which are
excessive and unreasonable upon enormously
excessive and fictitious capitalization of $780,

The freight was coming from Denver to Idaho

and the track was torn up for distance of more

The morning train which left this city at 1880 had
only reached the crossing and waiting for the
reigt to switch so that might continue its jour
ney into Denver. The wreck made it impossible
for it to go on and the result that all the pas
sengers were compelled to themselves as
best they could until nearly five O'Clock in the af
ternoon It was the same way with the passengers
coming from Denver. hey too were tied up, and
the train which should have arrived in the city at
1870 in the morning did not arrive until late in the
afternoon.
A wrecking crew was sent from Denver and
large force of men worked all day long in effort
to repair the tracks quickly possible 1t was
necessary to lay seventy ties before the trains
could move.
All the freight cars which were overturned were
heavily laden with goods which were to come to
Idaho S ring, and other places along the line.
Very little of the stuff was damaged.
It was fortunate that was hurt. When
the report was first received in the city it feared
by many that the passenger which left early was
wrecked but word was received short time later

YANKEE is
NOW ON
THE MAP.
Alice Company Surveys a
TOwnsite North of This
City This Week.

Word was received in the city this week that the
Alice Mining company, owning vast acreage at
Yankee Hill had surveyed townste and was evil
IDENTIFY making preparations to begin the develop
ment of its properties and the section thereabouts
in excellent shape.
This is in keeping with the item in Siftings last
week in which mention was made of proposed inn
provements in the Yankee Hill district and in
which the matter of an electric line for the future
and pending negotiations in that matter sug-
gested
The Alice company is practically the Burlington
railroad company, in other words, the principal
officials of the Burlington its principal owners
and operators 1t is of the properties of Clear
Greek county that possesses worldwide reputa-
ton. The immense vein, if such it might be called
account of its size, is 800 feet wide and contains
that will average clear across the vein nearly
So per ton.
With transportation facilities for the handling of
the there is wonderful possibilities in store for
the old mine. 1t has often been compared with the
Homestake mine in South Dakota, and whenever
mining have made the comparisons they have
admitted that the Yankee Hill proposition was
even greater than the one at Homestake which is
the greatest dividend payer in the world in the
shape of mining proposition.
OF course the owners of the Alice are not giving
out anything concerning their intentions, but the
fact that the townsite has been surveyed and the
lots set apart and plated makes it appear as is
they meant business.
There is some complaint from the citizens be-
cause the lots not made larger. The survey
shows the lots to be 25Ioo feet and the streets but
fifty feet in width. This, the citizens claim does
not give the opportunity for making Alice pretty
city that would have been given had the lots been
surveyed larger and the streets wider.
The good that will be accomplished as result of
the upbulding of Alice is immeasurable so far as
Idaho Springs is concerned 1t will mean the open
ing up and development of one of the most produc-
tive sections of the district and also one othe
most beautiful locations for summer resort point
We are in receipt of communication signed by
three four citizens of Yankee protesting against
the size of the lots and the width of the streets
This commication is rather inclined to be harsh
and believe it would be better for these people
to lay their grievances before the company rather
than to have the matter aired in the newspaper
We are pleased to observe this evidence of energy
the north of and trust that everything will
be fixed satisfactorily to all parties and that thev
proceed with energy and harmony to establish
themselves in niche in the great world in which
they belong. Alice and Yankee will be heard from
before another year rolls around.

- y Trocadero Opened With Multitude People =

the city and advertising Idaho Springs
and the Trocadero to the public.
Richter's orchestra furnished the music
for the occasion of Wednesday evening
and again demonstrated the fact that Idaho
Springs has an excellent musical organi-
zation and one that should be literally
patronized by the people.
The Trocadero is lighted by 200 incan-
descent and three big arc lights and the
little vari-colored globes gives the build
ing pretty appearance when it is lighted.
1t is 44xeo feet on the ground floor and so
far has cost over $5,5 500. The stock and
everything will be complete as tits possible
to get it here ready for business. A soda
fountain costing sI7oo will soon be in place
and then the appearance of the booths will
be materially changed.
On the evening of July the Trocadero
will be the popular place to witness the
81 900 display of fireworks that are to be
ignited on the hill above and it will be
crowded from now Until the close of the
tourist season.
Chantauqua lecturers, biograph pic
lures, vaudeville, prize dancing contests
and dozens of other excellent features win
be introduced during the season. It will
be popular place-a breathing spot.
Idaho Springs siftings., 1902-07-05

The above cut is from the drawing made
for the Trocadero by Architect George
Keves last winter The general plan has
been followed although the completed
building shows an addition on the back of
the structure I2xSS feet.
On Tuesday evening Engineer Sands OF
the Seaton Mountain company lighted the
big building for the first time and on
Wednesday evening the Trocadero was
introduced to the public by grand free
dance.
The great crowd that sought admission
and the multitudes that were present in
dicated the popularity of the proposition
in idaho Springs. 1t is unquestionably
one of the finest improvements OF the year
for the city and will answer demand
that has been known for the past ten
wears. The management insists that it
will conduct the Trocadero on plan that
will please the people and it is their idea
to make it one of the popular tourist
pleasure points in the state. The Colo
rado & Southern will assist in every pos
sible way to make it success and will
lend material aid in sending excursions to
