one VOTE
Only is Taken Today by the
State Senate on Its
Presidency.
TO NAME DEMOCRAT
If Democrats Agree to Ger
tain Propositions Made
by Republicans.

CHARLESTON, Jan. l7.-But one
vote was taken for president of the
senate this morning, making total
of thirty-cight votes thus for cast.
The House having adjourned yester-
day until Monday, all interest today
was conferred in the Senate. That de-
tails looking toward a settlement by
which the Republicans viii name a
Democratic president provided the
Democrats agree to support certain
legislation appears now to be the
bone OF contention.
While recess was taken until
1880 this afternoon, there is but little
chance of an agreement until Monday
or later.
The chances Of caucus are now
passed. Practically one-half of the
Republicans of the House have re-
fused to enter senatorial caucus.
There has been no material change
in the senatorial situation

SCHOOL TEACHERS IN
YEARLY NEE TING NOW
Large Attendance at the Fifth
Annual Convention of
Pedagogues.

Despite incliment weather, $50
teachers of the county are attending
the fifth annual meeting of the Har-
.rison County Teachers Association,
which opened for sessions OF two days
Friday morning in the Central Chris
|tian church with A. P. Morrison, the
president, in the chair.
The number of those in attendance
will be increased to more than 200
and already it is the largest in tn.
history of the body. Six of the rural
school districts sent full representa-
tons of public school teachers to the
opening session. These districts are
sardis, Coal, Clark, Simpson, Elk and
Tenmile. Several board of education
members are also attending.
Friday mornings session was
opened with the singing of Growing
Dearer Each Day." and Help Some
body Today" after which the Rev. w.
NJ. Long graciously invoked blessing
upon the teachers in their great work.
The New Texts.
A, P. Morrison made Introductory
remarks pertaining to the program
and introduced C. E. Williams, who
spoke on New Course OF Study and
New Textbooks Mr.. Williams said
that it requires some effort on the
part of teachers to keep within the
bounds of the manual prepared by
the state superintendent OF schools,
but he pointed out that the manual
is scientifically arranged in accord
ance with psychological conditions OF
the pupils. He declared that the new
text books are more practical and in
terestlng than the old ones and
worthy the support of all pupils,
teachers and parents.
Practical Room Work.
Avery helpful paper on Practical
Work in the School Room" was read
by Miss Eleanor Black. The speaker
said school room work should be in
teresting, not too technical and such
as would stimulate the child to o
wholesome life. Teachers must work
to be practical and up-to-date, and
the work must make the pupils better
morally and physically as we'll as
mentally.
Better Attendance" was interest
ingly discussed by Joe James. He
laid blame upon teachers for poor
attendance by enforcing a sort of
military authority instead of being
friendly and in close touch with the
pupils.
Frlendliness Urged.
In urging. teachers to be friendly
with their pupils and to hold their
respect, Carl S. Lawson pointed out
that intimacy and frlendliness are
two different things. The problem
hinges upon the personality Of the
teacher and personalities are differ
ent, but all teachers should make
their pupils feel welcome and en+
courage them in conscientious en-
deayor.

POLES THEATER

little gem of musical comedy playing for the last three days of this week at the big Po1i pleasure palace, entitled The Stage Door Johnnies'' fresh from western successes intro duces to the cast novel illusions and touch of comedy which is refresh ing as a departure from the regular stock direction which characterizes the usual production as typically east ern. The radiance of this act only serves to bring out with more effect the other bri1liants in the setting which Manager Polf has clustered for Bridgeport's most popular theatre.
 Trix Oliver. the prima donna of the cast sings pleasantly several popular numbers, and her attractiveness of face, figure and costume wins her i'm mediate favor. Hap Reed, black face comedian inJects much hurnor that IS unique. while MT. Eagle, Joe Kaufman and Ben HartzIer form a, quartette that brings harmony to the front.
 Armada and Sidoni, two equi1fbrists, one a woman of dimension and the other a man of slight build and some what of a contortionist received con- in costume and with attractive per sonality, charmed their audience with a series of songs and changes which they closed with @ graceful dance which returned them for an encore.
 For the first time in some weeks the patrons were able again to see caricature work in black and white, which was drawn by Chalk Saun- ders', a cartoonist who sketehed a series of comic vagaries.
 Billed as comedians, Ave1ing & Lloyd, two boys that come from the part where joy-bubbIes inspire wit, collected the applause when they ap- peared in cross-fire of joy-talk. Their batter had the snap that makes the noise and finishing with what Lloyd termed a tthree-act drama they found a way to the hearts of the large audience.
 The Great Harrah 6 Company in their full stage ro11er-skating per formance show three performers in a series of graceful and accomplished tricks. Pictures that were well se- 1ected and equally well projected closed a most entertaining bill.
