The very decided feature of the
interesting sessions, sensational in
some respects, of the teachers in
stitute yesterday was the appearance
in the afternoon of the East Ely
school orchestra, which surprised and
greatly pleased the institute with
the rendition of several very charm
ing selections. 1t was distinctly the
day of the East Ely young people and
they managed it handsomely.
The East Ely School orchestra
was first presented to the public last
week, when the talented young peo-
pie were brought forward in the
Field-Riley program arranged by Mrs.
Slichter. The members of the or
chestra are Tom Smith, violin; Miss
Ethyl Bayliss, guitar; Miss Myrtle
Bayliss, mandolin; Miss Maude
Smith, piano. Yesterday their work
was pronounced most excellent and
added greatly to the enjoyment of
the occasion.
The sensational features of the
sessions were said last night by an at
tending teacher to have been the
revolutionary reforms in teaching
methods advanced by the California
teachers brought to the institute by
Superintendent Lightfoot and there
fore in a presenting officially
endorsed ideas. The latter, however,
found vigorous opposition from some
of the teachers of the counties en-
gagged in the institute and it is GER
tain that there will be no unanimous
adoption of the new methods suggest
ed. Meantime, however, the clashes
between the new and the establish
ed ideas r adding spice to the meet
ings.
The institute had a busy day yes
terday. Following the usual open
ing exercises, Prof. Allison Ware, Of
San Francisco gave a talk on life
and the elementary curriculum. Prof.
Hill, of the University of Nevada,
discussed the use of questions. Mrs.
Edna o. James, of Stockton, an ex-
ponent CT the Gordon method, gave a
talk along the line of her work and
Prof. Ware spoke on the high school
and grammar grades.
Following the noon recess, Mrs.
James further explained the Gordon
method and Mrs. Ware discussed the
high school and grammar grades, life
and the high school G. Prof. Ware

RECORD PRICE FOR
STOCK EXCHANGE SEAT
TELLS A BIG STORY

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-While the
return of prosperity has been an
nounced with more or less flourish
oftrumpets many times during the
past two years, at least there is I'M
qu%estionably evidence that the con
ditions of full activity in all lines of
business which prevailed up to the
autumn of 1907 have been restored.
This evidence is found in the sale of
a seat on the New York Stock ex-
change this week at the highest
price ever recorded in the history of
that institution. 1t is only when
general business is brisk and pros
perity widely diffused that financial
operations rise to the high water
mark. Likewise the price obtainable
for the privilege of ~transacting bust
ness on the floor Of the country's
greatest security market rises with
the volume Of business handled there
A generation ago seats on the ex-
change sold at $1,000 or $4,000. The
price gradually increased up to the
early nineties, when it had risen to
$4,000 or $4,000. In the boom
8years following the spanish Ameri-
can war the demand for seats SO far
exceeded the supply and the great
increase in trading made the broker
age business so profitable that prices
rose to figures hitherto undreamed
of and $4,000 or more was freely
paid for membership in the ex-
change. By 1906 n cost of be-
coming a floor member had risen
The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1909-12-22

$4,000. During the present year
the price has been climbing upward
again. About the middle of No
vembe one seat was sold for $4,000
and then came the establishment of
vember one seat was sold for $4,000
which from present indications will
soon be eclipsed. The New York
Stock exchange is sometimes referred
to as 'the most expensive club in

spoke at length during the afternoon
on methods and results in literature.
In the evening, a reception was tend

above $4,000. and one seat was
sold in that year for the record
breaking price of $4,000. This was
the period when more than a million
shares of stock changed hands every
day on the stock exchange floor. The
panic of 1907 cut the volume of
transactions down to a fraction of
what they had been previously and
the price of seats fell off to about

Color Line In Pennsylvania,

York, Jan. 9.-Eldridge Scarbor-
ough, who was wounded by one IF the
bullets fired by Elias Sayers, one
armed negro, who killed Lewis Bar
bour, a farmer, at Delta testified at
the trial of the negro for murder that
the only apparent motive was the ne
gro's anger at their refusal to permit
him to join in conversation with
them which he had interrupted.
Sayers collided first with him and
then with Barbour, and the latter
threatened to "smack his face OFF, if
he should ever again interrupt when
white men were talking. Sayers, he
said, walked to the side OF the hotel
where he stood muttering for about 10
minutes, then drew revolver, with
the exclamation, slew Barbour, you
done me dirtl and began firing.
While the jury was being empaneIl-
ed some of the tailsmen living close to
the Masen and Dixon line admitted
frankly that they were preludiced
against negroes.

These were the words in which Sena-
tor Cuiberscn characterized the action
OF Tie resident In advising Attorney
General Bonaparte not to prosecute
the United Steel Corporation for its
absorption OF the Tennessee Coal and
Iron Company.
Mr.. Iuberson offered resol alton
directing life ,ommitlee on the Judi
clary 10 report 10 the Senate whether
the President was authorized to per-
nit the absorption. lie said the action
Of Tie President III declaring that Con-

ecutive department to furnish infor-
nation W uld be taken up at some
future time.
The suit against the American To-
baccO Company, which was pendin <
at the time, was compared with the
position OF the Steel Corporation. Mr.
Culberson said the situation in each
case was identical. La each, he said i,
the offense committed was the ap-
Sorption Of rival, anu not the crea-
ton OF The monopoly.
Senator Hophins rushed 10 the de-
Tense OF the President, saying his mes.
sage die. not warrant the construction
placed upon il by Mr.. Culberson. Ia
reply Nj. Culberson read from the
message.
AT the request OF Senator Clark, Of

Committee, the resolution went over
until tomorrow without acton.
