FRIDAY MORNING.

The morning session of the Ma
lion County Teacher'sc institute TO-
day was very largely attended. An
address by, Professor Coughlin I'm a
continuation of his series of ad-
dresses was one of the features of the
morning program.
Professor Henderson closed tho
morning session with an address on
THE VIII To Do" He spoke of
his college and high school life,
when seemingly II was a hopeless
case to accomplish some of the
things which were assigned him. BY
persistent effort, however, he was
able to do these things through win
power. He told graphically of his
High school days, when he thought
himself quite prominent when he be.
came a senior When he came to
college 1t seemed a hopeless task tc
enroll himself as freshman, but
with will power and courage he made
his way forward and with one idea
ahead of him. This Is the spirit
which Mr.. Henderson urged upon the
teachers, the spirit OF willingness tC
do things with courage.

EVENING LECTURE

Local teachers interested In the
work of the Marion County Teachers
institute, which is being held In TINS
city, this week, were quite disap'
pointed in the attendance at the lee
ture of DR.. George Edgar vincent at
Epworth NJ. E. church THURSDAY
evening. The attendance on the part
of the general public was not SO large
as was expected although there was
quite a large NUMBER present, VINO
were interested in school work.
High temperature of the evening
affected the attendance in a degree
though practically all of the members
OK the city and county associations
were present. DR.. Vincent Is a speaker
with much vim and power and the
somewhat unfavorable conditions did
not hinder him. A lecturer who is
able to put life into his hearers is
DR.. Vincent and he was heard with
remarkable interest during the even
ing. He was introduced shortly before
o'clock by President A. Is. Jones, OF
Prospect. tf&
The theme which DR.. Vincent chose
for the evening was Children Versus
Grown People. He plunged into his
theme early in the lecture with few
preliminary remarks and soon held
tho attention of the teachers closely.
The thought which the speaker
brought to his hearers was the de-
pendence OF each person upon the so
lsciety about him. The child is Otter
brought up by parents who believe
In total depravity, who think thai
their child Is altogether evil and tina
al, things that are to be done to hin
must be toward the elimination o
this evil which. has been placed with
in him. Many parents indeed plac
their children apart from the children
Of other people In order that they ma,
not be affected by the evil of tn
streets These latter children are s.
placed by parents who think there |
no specimen of humanity quite o
pure and beautiful as their own chile
He is placed In his own territor
where none may play with him an
he grows up with the idea that he
Enure and that no evil can come

THURSDAY AFTERNOON.

At the Thursday afternoon session
of the Marion County Teachers In
stitute. Professor w. ID. Henderson
spoke of "The Evolution of the Boy"
His talk was very interesting and he
related many instances illustrating
his subject. An intermisslon was held
at the close of the afternoon, there
being two recesses given during the
afternoon becaues of the intense heat
which caused the teachers to be-
come decidedly uneasy.
Professor A. Il. Jones, president OF
the association, was compelled to call
down a number of the teachers about
the edges of the room for their whs-
pering. He asked all those who ap-
proved of whispering to raise their
hands and not hand was seen I'm the
entire congregation of teachers. The
whispering was speedily checked and
Professor Coughlin began his lecture
upon How to study"
Mr.. Coughlin said that he, wanted
to emphasize the need OF observation,
of comparison and of analysis In
study. He declared that observation
Is one of the greatest essentials in
study and that this should be culti-
waited by every teacher. He declared
that nature study is one of the great
est studies possible and here, close
observation Is necessary. Many peo-
pie think that they know all of the
characteristics of certain animals
which they have studied and yet II
they were asked IL horses had eye
lashes they would be unable to make
, a satisfactory answer. The horse has
eyelashes above but not below the
| eye. Such knowledge may be gained
| by observation, and this served as an
| instance for the speaker to show how
| Necessary observation Is to the per-
| son who would be come student.
| The speaker urged upon teachers to
| learn this characteristic in their
| study.
Mr.. Coughlin spoke of comparison
| in study. He noted the need OF
knowledge which may be brought to
hand quickly. We should be able
to compare things in such light that
we know them thoroughly and SO
we may be able to bring forward
| our training at time when 1t II
! necessary. One of the greatest trou'
bles of cultured people is that the,
l are undDle W Apply thSi' N''NN-eN
and make good use of 1t at proper
times. Thespeaker related of Ma
poleon, who wanted TO know of one
| of his men how wide a certain
| stream was and through his knowl'
| edge the man was able to calculate
readily and he was promoted Tor MS
good work. The teacher should have
her knowledge ready at hand ano
make good use of 1t when 1t Is de-
manded in the real world.
In closing the lecturer spoke OF
analysis. He said that he did no,
mean by this a close separation OF
the parts of a subject or line ol
study. He meant the ability to pay
attention to that which is said ano
gain a clear idea from the whoi'
subject by a thorough study OF th'
relationship of each thought.
| During the Afternoon. Anna marie
| Howard of the O. N. u. gave a READ
ing which was much appreciated
by the teachers.

him IL he is kept from evil.
These plans fail said the speaker.
DR.. Vincent declared that he had
known people who actually studied
Of the stages which their children
would reach their growth and that
they had prepared themselves for
these periods in order that they
might govern the life Of the child.
All OF these plans are folly for ma
ture makes the child grow and in its
own way and there is no such factor
anywhere as may be found in the
society in which the child moves and
lives.
The speaker said that the stand
ards Of the gang on the street often
possess many characteristics which are
worthy of study. He related of chill
dren in Chicago breaking windows IN
Zone of the homes there in order TO be
| chased by the police. A prominent
man went to the gang and asked them
| to discontinue this for the public good
and the leader of the gang forth.
with declared that there should be
no more such acts and the trouble
ceased. The lads may be appealed tc
by giving them manly suggestion.
In bringing his address to a close
Dr. Vincent asked the teachers tc
realize what a power they may holt
over children as their leader. In tn,
street the kids" will do ANYTHING
for their leader and IL the teache,
would seek the plan of success sh,
should strive to have her children dc
noble and worthy things and thus ap
peal to their higher natures rathe
than cause their natures to be dowr
trodden by idle and small thing
which the children in reality abhor.

GUILTY UPON SECOND
COUNT OF THE CHARGE
Mrs. Allen F. Read Will Have to
Serve Time for Attempt to
Commit Burglary.

Denver, Nov. 2O.-Mrs. Allen F. Read
US this naming found guilty of as
sault to commit burglary by jury in
Judge Sheafors court,
A year ago this month Mrs. Read at
tempted to force Mrs. Genevieve Chan
der Phipps to give her 100000, threat
ening to blow her up with dynamite
unless she compiled.
The jury was out about eighteen
hours. Attorneys for Mrs. Read set UP
the plea of insanity.
There was no demonstration when the
verdict was announced. Even Mrs.
Read, who throughout the trial has been
under the constant care of a physician,
took the verdict coolly, although she
watched the jurors intently as they filed
into the court room, and listened close
ly to the announcement of the fore
man.
Counsel for Mrs. Read Immediately
moved for a stay of ten days in which
to prepare a petition for a new trial,
which the court granted. Pending this
motion, Mrs. Read was refused bail,
and few minutes later she was taken
back to Jail.
Mrs. Read was indicted on two
counts, assault with intent to commit
larceny, and assault to commit
burglary. She was found guilty of the
second count, the penalty for which is
imprisonment from one to fourteen
years.
Mrs. Phipps was warmly congratu-
lated by her friends, who swarmed
around her when the verdict was an
nOunced.

DR.. CLEM|NSON GETS
SENTENCED FOR LIFE
Takes the Jury Three Hours to Find
Him Guilty Of Numbering
His Wife.

Chicago. Nov. D.-Dr. Haldane CIemin-
son, who has been on trial for the murder
Of his wife, NOrah Jane Cleminson, was
found guilty of murder and sentenced to
life Imprisonment here tonight.
It took the jury little more than three
hours to reach q verdict. Judge McSure-
~ finished his instructions to the jury
at 5:57 p ~, and a verdict was returned
shortly after 9 O'Clock.
Cleminson was charged with the murder
of his wife on May 90 Mrs. Cleminson
was found dead in bed with strong Odor
of chloroform pervading the room. Glenn
nsOn said he had been unconscious for
several hours and that when he recovered
he had found his wife dead by his side.
He told a story about burglars entering
the house and said that $50 worth of jew
elry had been taken.
Cleminson later admitted that his story
Of the burglary was false, and he is re-
ported to have said that he had invented
it tc save the honor of his children, init
mating that his wife had committed sui
eide
The physician was shown to have been
on intimate terms with at least one other
woman.
During the interval between the death
of Mrs. Cleminson and the trial, John
Morgan. her father, died. apparently from
grief.
Cfeminson is q years old, and has been
married six years. He has two children,
who are now with his mother and father.

The wreck was sighted By the German
steamer Wotan today.
Captain Hans Schlaiokier of the Wotan,
who reported the wreck, said that his
ship did not approach close enough to
make an investigation, the wrecked YES
sell evidently being in shoal water. With
glasses he saw what appeared to be three
spars above the water, one of them about
Ia feet above. He was certain that the
middle one was a mast.
According to the location given by Cap
tain Schlaickier, the Nourmahsl, If this
was she, was considerably out Of her
course, having been reported as bound
from Port Antonio, Jamaica, for San
Juan, Porto Rico. But by the fierce blow
recently, this is readily accounted for.
Tonight the wireless station is seeking
the revenue cutter Algonquin to give in
structions to proceed at once to the point
designated in the report Of Captain
Schlsiclzier.
According to advices received here. no
other vessel has been reported missing,
and this lends additional cause for belief
that the Inflated vessel sighted by the
Wotan is Colonel Astor's yacht
At $50 o'clock tonight the local wire
less station spoke to the revenue cutter
