The Teachers. .InstiSnte, opened Mon

assisted by Prof. Mooney OF the Spear

on the principles of teachings are both
highly entertaining and Instructive.
He is fluent speaker and as superin-

just the one for institute work, and we
are very fortunate III securing so able
an instructor.
Rev. Smoc'I certainly comes to the
front as conductor and lecturer. His
work in literature is considered the
best ever given Hot Springs and his
lectures are highly appreciated.
DIR. Gallagher took charge of the de-
votional exercises Monday, and gave
an address to the teachers which held
them spellbound during the entire
period. He is certainly man of rare

The meals are neglected; a cold bite must

And he is in luck to get that,
And if he is wise he will quickly skiddoo,
Just bolt it and grab for his hat
When night comes around and he sits
down to rest
And look at the papers awhile
His judgment is sought as to which one
is best
And which garment shows the most
style.
Oh. then can you blame him, though he is
a saint,
If he should forget to come home,
But rather should plaster the town with
red paint
And howl like party from Rome?
Mhere once he was master and lord and

For when it is dressmaking time in the

Oh. what can the poor sinner do?

JubIIant Over Election Of Chlst
Slow as President.
.srRAusBURc TOOK The TRUMPET
Eagle Engine Company Runners
Made Poor Showing In Both Hose
Reel Races-WiI Begin Booming
1907 Convention at Once.

Although they were disappointed
because of the failure of the Eagle
Engine Companys running team to
win the hose reel contests, the local
firemen who have been attending the
annual convention of the Virginia
State Firemcn's Association at Rich
niond during the past three days. re-
turned to this city at 1920 o'clock
last night well pleased with what they
accomplished ut the meeting. The
firemen wore especially jubiant over
the election OF Chief w. X. Stow as
president of tho State association and
the landing of the 1907 convention
for this city.
The local laddies are satisfied with
the entertalnment given them in
Richmond in every way. They will
Immediately begin 10 boom the 1907
convention and they intend TO make
1t the greatest event In the history
OF the State association.
1t is very probable that the street
parade, which has been feature of
the convention for years will be elm
mated next year. President Stow has
placed himself on record as being OPP
posed to the street parade. He claims
that 1t IS too fatlguing upon the fire
men and grove monotonous to tho
crowds, Chief Stow recommends
that instead of having street par
ade, the local laddies charter a steam
or next year and take the visiting
firemen TO jamestown island for
dry. This vev probably will meet
with the approval OF the local fire
men and the visiting laddies, who are
all opposed to the street parade.
The feature of the Richmond con-
vention was the hose reel races held
yesterday. The local firemen were
confident that the running team OF
the Eagle Engine Company would
win the first prize In both the free
for all and State races, but the team
made very poor showing in both
events. The team did not run in It's
usual form and besides that 1t made
flukc in laying the hose. Then
the team was Handicapped by the en-
tremely low water pressure, the men
being used to running here with dou-
bile the water pressure that was Civ
en- in Richmond.
The running team from Lexington
won the first prize in the free for all
| contest, running 100 yards and laying
l50 feet OF hose, making couplings
and throwing water In 90 81 sec.
onds. The second prize In that race
was captured by Coyington Company,
No. in 81 3,4 seconds.
The Virginia championship race,
won last year by the Eagle Engine
Company, went to the Strausburg
/ running team In 30 ga seconds. Tho
second prize was won by the Lexins
ton company.
The Eagle Engine Company's band
appeared to good advantage in Rich
| mond and while 1t did not take any
OF the prizes the firemen are salts
fled with the showing it made. The
band with fifty local firemen, includ
ing the Eagle Companys running
team returned here last night. The
firemen marched from the depot w
Washington avenue and Twenty
eighth street. where the line of march
was broken and the three companies
repaired to their respective head
quarters.
