FANNIE DININNY was not only a great shock to the family, but to the community, and to her numberless friends. She was born July 30, 1871; died Feb. 10th, 1901, at the age of 29 years, six months and 11 days. Ten years of her life was spent in teaching school. Jan. 25th, 1885, she was received into the Methodist Episcopal Church. She has therefore given over 16 years of her life to the service of the Lord, join ing the church when but 13 years of age. On the 20th of last June she was married to Mr. Owen Dininny. Seven months and 20 days from that merry time, she bid her husband of earth farewell, togo and meet the Heavenly Bridegroom in the air. If there ever was a lady in our com munity who illustrated in her life the full fruition of high Christian character, it was our deceased sister. She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church for more than 16 years, but she always had a wider view of Christian ity than mere denominational limita tions. On Sunday, Feb. 10th, at 6 o'clock p. m., the Angel of God, who smote Peter In prison, appeared and touched her and said, "sister;" "young wife;" "child of God," "thy work is done, follow me." The clay casket was left, and out of it she awakened in the very presence of Jehovah, while the glory of God met her astonished gaze. Could we have had our way we would have kept her with us a little longer, but the curtain has dropped; sometime over yonder we shall know why. Those who knew her best loved her most. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Lyons, father and mother of deceased, have lost their only daughter, the two brothers, Roy and Claude E., have lost a loving sister, the husband has lost a devoted wife, the community has lost a good neigh bor, and the church has lost a faithful member. The funeral services were held in the M. E. Church, in Emporium, conduct ed by Rev. E. E. Mulliner, her pastor, assisted by the Rev. O. S. Metzler, of the M. E. Church, of Emporium, Wed ) nesday, at 2 o'clock, p. m. j The husband and near relatives have j the sympathy of the entire community. | Servant of God r well done, Thy glorious warfare's past, The battle fought the race is won, And thou art crowned at last. I CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 14, 1901 Local Institute. The Local Institute held at Sterling Run, Feb. 2d, was a success. Despite the fact that the morning was cold and the early hour that the morning train arrives, there was a good turnout, show ing that the teachers are interested in their work further tnan drawing their salary. Another fact that stamped the insti tute as a success was the manifestation of interest on the part of the teachers in the discussions, every one seemed eager to glean some new ideas from the experiences of others, and every one seemed to enjoy the very able discus sions of the various subjects. There is no better recommendation to a teacher than to have it said of him "Ho is in love with his work." This fact alone insures success in nearly every case, and we believe that there is no better way to judge a teacher in this respect than by his interest in all educational meetings. We never at tend one of these meetings without feeling that we have something to take home with us to our work that will make that work better. Following is the program as it was rendered: Institute was called to order by Pres ident D. B. Peterson. Devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. Samuel Ebersole of Sterling Run, after which No. 54 from "Favored Songs" was sung by institute. Supt Miss Mattie Collins then read a very able paper 011 "Teachers' Duty to Themselves," dwelling most forcibly upon the necessity of professional training for teachers. Among the many good things said by Miss Collins we remember this: "Teachers must not only know their work but keep in touch with the pupils and all work re lating to the children and schools Next was a very interesting paper by Miss Anna Piper,of Sinnamahoning, on the subject of "Literature." Miss Piper gaue some very good reasons why literature should be taught, nam ing works that children would be inter ested in and also some good methods which may be beneficial by the study of them. This subject was further dis cussed by Prof. C. P. Bastian, of Em porium, and A. Leo L Suhrie, of St. Marys. Prof. Bastian gave some very good suggestions on ways and means of awakening a love of good literature in the boys and girls. Prof. Snhrie followed in his pleasing manner and urged, among other things, the idea of recommending good books to children rather than condensing the bad; that by condeming the bad a teacher awak ens a curiosity on the part of the pupil to see what is in that book, while on the other hand by holding up the good to him and awakening his curiosity to find out what is in it he will lose sight of the bad. After singing by the institute, Mr. William Leavitt, of Beechwood, read a carefully prepared paper on "Civil Government in Mixed Schools." Mr. Leavitt was followed by Prof. B. Q. Woodward, of Driftwood, who dwelt most strongly upon the point that when education is back of good republican government it is very necessary that the pupils are taught the principles of good government, and in order to un derstand these principles they must understand the government which most affect their own immediate welfare, namely: Township, County and State. Rev. Ebersole next spoke, making reference to Rev. Ham who said that he did not know why women did not make men vote as they wanted them to, as they made them do everything else they wanted them to do Mr. Ebersole gave it, as his opinion, that under such circumstances it is very necessary that our girls should understand the princi ples of good government. Institute then adjourned until 1:30 p. ra. The afternoon session was called to order by President D. B. Peterson and a selection from "Favored Songs" was sung. "Rhetoric and Composition in Mixed Schools" was, at this juncture, very ably discussed by Prof. Bastian, who allowed himself but three minutes talk on rhetoric, using the remainder of his time on "Composition," feeling that part of the subject to be of more import ance. In speaking of rhetoric he said that all the rhetoric needed could be taught from the grammar if the teacher had a thorough knowledge of rhetoric. Of composition he said we should let the child learn by doing; do not expect children to write compositions without being educated up to the work; but let them learn to write by writing. He suggested that they have an ideal con stantly in mind after which they might model their own work and thus grow nearer perfection with each trial. He also said that if a teacher could not find time to have this subject on the daily program, to leave out something else not so important for a time, or combine with nature study, geography, history, or grammar. Prof. Woodward, on the subject of "Politics," suggested that pupils be permitted to visit the polls, thereby gaining a practical knowledge of the manner of voting. Also spoke of the importance of knowing the manner by which U. S. Senators are elected, and of the value of a knowledge of local government. After another song by the institute, Miss Blanch Ludlam read an excellent paper on "How to awaken a love of good reading." "Do not make the mistake of reading only simple stories to your pupils. They may not be able to grasp the full meaning, but they will get some of it and gain something from the language and style of good authors. You may awaken a love for good read ing in boys by giving them something historical that is full of adventure." Prof. Suhrie then made some remarks emphasizing what Prof. Bastian had said about the importance of having an ideal after which to pattern style of composition. Miss Nettie More followed with a pa per on "Teachers' Influence," in which she presented many earnest and inter esting thoughts, among which the fol lowing: A child is much influenced by environments; it often displays three natured, one for home, one playmates and one for teacher. One of these will become predominant in maturity and it is the teacher's duty to know all these ! and try to have the best one predomi -1 nate. Revs. Ebersole and Piper expressed themselves well pleased with the insti- I tute and highly commended the good work of the teachers, stating that edu cation is the handmaid of religion, and that teachers should realize the im portance of their work, for upon them depends the lives of the future men and women. "Geography' 1 was briefly but tersely discussed by Profs. Peterson and Bas tian, after which Prof. Bastian made the announcement that the next reun ion will be held at Emporium sometime in March. Institute then adjourned. %* I2GGAL J^QTIGES. Two Cows FOR SALE.— A. M. Lucore, Sizerville, P*. People who desire to ba economical buy of N. Seger. WANTED—A girl to do general house work.

Slnnamahoning Liars' Club. Editor Cameron County Press:— The Liars' Club lield an interesting session last night in 0. L. Bailey's chick en coop, with Norman JohDson in the Chair. A bill for rent was read to the Club, and motion to pay no rent until the pro prietor putin steam heat and electric light was carried. ,At this point Pap Blodtret and Beldin were reported for making a disturbance in open meeting. The committee found their pockets full of China nest eggs. Under the head of "anything to offer for the good ol the order" John Logue suggested a sleigb-ride to Sterling Bun, in open hay rack, for a general airing, some real cold, windy night, in a body. George Shafer was appointed as a com mittee to procure transportation, but he said there wasn't teams enough in the township to haul the party. This report was a sad one as the Hobo band was to J accompany the crowd. Tom Snyder got on his ear and brought charges against uncle Jake, and Joe Summerson was appointed to settle the dispute and during the armistice proceed ings someone stepped on Mix Bailey's toes when a general row ensued, and Ike Bowen ordered Joe Strayer to close the meeting.
