THK TEACHERS- INSTITUTE.

Wst«rliiy'«» I'mreedlnjf* of luterest—Grade llltTM. The teachers' institute at the I/ijjh school buiklinx continues with unabated interest. Vesterday's programme contained a number of new features. In the morning Professor Ilumpke continued his discussion of reading, and gave some valuable suggestions as to the best methods of presenting it.

MIES

Tay

lor, of the High school, read a well prepared paper upon lunguage and grammar, "Ilow to .yolk the two and have them pull together."' Professor \V. \V. Hyere continued his discussion of civics. He explained the naturalization laws und the requirements of president and vice president, and the manner of their election. He dwelt for some time upon complications that might arise, and the subject of constitutional amendment, firade meeting were then organized. The High school teachers constituted the first class and the work in this depart ment was discussed. The grades from six to eight Jconstituted the second class and the third class was made up of the grades from one to five. Mr. Wveth gave a" lesson in history and Miss Sarah E. Tarney conducted a IesBOn in arithmetic in the third class.

At the afternoou session Professor Ilumpke discussed the subject of word analysis and explained the meaning of many, by showing the roots from which they were derived. Among them were such words as beneficial, benefactor and others with the "bene" root. In an institute last week, Prif. Humpke was asked when discussing the group of words, "what is the matter with 'Benny' Harrison?" Prof. Donaldson discussed spelling and the plan of conducting a recitation. Miss Ilattie Paige sang beautifully for the institute. Miss Peaks discussed percentage and each teacher was supplied with aij arithmetic. They were called upon to stand and solve problems. The institute continues to-day.

Some Olid Things.

One of the newest things in fans is one with a smelling bottle in the stick, and in the smelling bottle a little very strong amonia.

Mr. Hyena has been discovered out in Jewell county, Kansas, and when he opens his lips, it is safe to say, not a neighbor dares bark out of tune.

A colored woman in Atlanta, (la., is the youngest of thirty-seven children, and, although not yet 158 years old, is herself the mothor of twenty-eight children.

It is claimed that the Isabella and Catawba grapes both originated in North Carolina antl were cultivated there for years before they became known to fame.

Cyrus Triplett, who died at the age H*2 years near Akron, O., recently, had never been outside the limits of the county but once, and in all his lifetime rode only live miles on a railroad.

A nugget was recently found in the Sierra A/.ul district in Sonera, Cal., that weighed pounds '-^tl ounces, and contained $1)50 in gold. It was taken from the old placer diggings which have been worked for many years by the Mexicans.

It is only sixty years ago this month that the first stage carrying the mail westward passed over the Alleghenoy mountains. The road taken by the stage was from Cumberland, Md., to Wheeling, a distance of 1W miles.

A Bar Harbor correspondent writes that two young hearts that befit as one are entirely safe in a birch bark canoe without a chaperon because the ticklish craft won't permit of any careesing without tipping the caressers into the water.

The Maine executive council recently visited a prison where was a woman under a life sentence for murdering .her husband. She made an appeal to the visitors for pardon, and the lirst question asked of her by one of the honorable councilors was whether she had a husband living.

A new religious sect has been organized in Zwickau. Its members call themselves "Kree Men in Christ," sing the hymns of the Methodists, reject infant baptism, as do the Baptists are the Irvingites in believing in a bodily return of Christ, and in place of tho Lord's supper hold a love feast.

A Waterbury, Conn., girl had a cat of which she was extremely fond, and showed great affection for her. The girl dieil and the cat got into the room where the body lay, and as soon as it saw the face of its dead mistress fell dead with a groan. The story in said to be well authenticated.

Forty-one years ago a young man of Rhode Island asked a young woman of the same state to marry him. She said "no." The young man went about his business, but he kept his eye on the woman and from time to time renewed his suit, she refusing oiler after oiler. He persevered, and his constancy was rewarded a short time ago, when she accepted and married him. He was then T'i years old and she lil.

A girl from Philadelphia, who is an expert oarswoman, is the belle of Bar Harbor this summer, and her rowing costume is mighty taking. She wears a white plaited skirt of flannel, with a thick white jersey shirt reaching some inches below the belt and ending in a thick bordor like a heavy rope. A white belt is worn around the waist, and a white felt Alpine hat with a white wing at the side, russet leather shoes, russet hose, and a yellow silk scarf knotted about tho throat, complete the pretty costume.

A Nwessiry Precaution

Impecunious Thespian—"Say, Brutus, do you think you can gufT us fellows with those timetables sticking out of your pockets? We all know you walked the entire distance from Oshkosh!"

Brutus—"Vou do me a great wrong, gentlemen, prithee. Those time-tables are merely a guide for me to know when the express comes along, in order that I may betake myself from the track in time for safety."—Texas Sittings.

A Sliding Telephone.

A sliding telephone is the latest. It is a movable telephone that can be run up or down to any lloor of a large building, so that if person on one story who is wanted at the telephone need not come down or go up to another floor, but can pull the instrument up or down as is required.

A Gloomy l'rixpcct*

Husband—I'm afraid, tuy dear, that this amateur theatrical entertainment is likely k. prove a bore.

Wife—It may, Johu but for heaven's sake remember that it is an amateur entertainment, and when the curtain drops after each act don't pick up your hat and go out.—[Xew York Sun.

Kethlehem Court.

Bethlehem court of Darnes Lodge No. 4 of colored Masons has been organized in this city.

In the west THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS has been the first to appreciate and meet the situation, and it now enjoys the results of its twelve years of pioneer work in a daily circulation averaging over three times that of any of its contemporaries, and

LYICH ML

Mantels and Urates,

Forty years ago the chief duty of an editor, in view of his limited facilities, was to gather all the news he could and print it. Intelligence was transmitted slowly many occurrences of interest were never heard of beyond their immediate locality ocean mails were long In transit, and the overthrow of an European dynasty was not known here until long after the event. Suddenly there came a change. The railroad and the telegraph superseded old methods, and the newspaper was literally Hooded with news. The death of a petty ward politician in San Francisco, the result of a Presidential election, the accession of a sovereign, the outbreak of a war, and notice that a shanty had been burden in Texas, all were hurried overthe wires into the newspaper offices, and there being no idea of discrimination, all were printed. Thus originated the blanket sheet." The publisher who could send out the biggest blanket for a nickel was the most enterprising the biggest paper' was the best it was a period of bigness. But after a time the very excess of the evil brought the remedy, and there began an era of discrimination, during which arose such journals as the New York Sun _i and THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS. That the public appreciated the new departure is best evidenced in the fact that the Sun reached a circulation of 150,000 a day, and THE DAILY NEWS 175,000. The wonderful and constantly growingpopularity of the condensed, low-priced papers has so far brought the cumbrous and high-priced blanket-sheets to their senses, that they have now somewhat reformed both as to size and price, but they'are still too far removed from the true ideal of American journalism to meet the needs of the great majority.

The Newspaper Revolution.

"The era of cumbrous blanket-sheets seems coming to an end, and newspapers like the New York Aw and THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS are the prominent journalistic successes of the period. The papers that give enough reading matter to fill a cood volume in each daily issue are going out of favor with many people who have some other employment lor their time than the search through mountains of straw for kernels of news. The sheets that give the news systematically and amply, and without unnecessary padding, are taking the lead in the great cities."

considerably more than the circulations of all other Chicago dailies combined. It is hardly necessary to say that such a circulation could not be attained, much less maintained, except by a paper of high grade of excellence, as well as one sold at a popu Iar price. To win such recognition the chcap paper must be as good a newspaper as the best ol of its higher-priced competitors. And this THE DAILY NEWS certainly is. It is a member of the Associated Press, and is the only paper in Chicago which possesses a franchise which secures to it both the day and night dispatches of the Association. In the general field of news-gathering it represents in the highest degree the progressive enterprise of American journalism as a tiavs-paper ,it challei^jes comparison with any in the land. ~n its editorial columns THE DAILY NEWS speaks from the standpoint of the independent newspaper, and thereby escapes the temptation of impairing honest and [honorable influence by condoning or defending the questionable under the pressure of party allegiance. It is not "an organ, neither is it a neutral in 'questions of principle. It has the courage of its convictions. The organ ol no party, sect or interest, it voices the united demand of all those better elements of society in behalf of purity, honesty and decency in all the relations of life. By just so much as it thus commends itself to the regard of the truly best people of the community does it voluntarily renounce any community of interest with all others.

So conspicious a success must have its imitators, and THE DAILY NEWS has the endorsement such imitation always bestows. However as it is the only one-cent paper in Chicago or the West which is amember of the Associated Press—all other Chicago Associated Press papers cost 3 cents—all imitation must continue, so far as news giving valut is concerned, to be but imitation. THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS is the original," the best."
