Uompany.at Muncy,and in a short time the
big factory was totally destroyed. The
loss exceeded $40,000 and the Insurance

The object ot the meeting was stated and
an expression of the sentiment of those

enterprise will bo a go. It Is taking bard
work to raise the stock and those having
the work In band are sparing no efforts to
ralso the amount. Upwards of $7,000 has
already been subscribed, and as the stock Is
but $25 per sbaro all can tako a hand to

Ion, "Who struck Billy Patterson?" This
Is it:
About forty years ago, at one of tho med
ical colleges In this country, the students
had a trick of hazing every new mau who
entered the Institution. ;They would secure
him baud and foot, carry him before a mock
tribunal, and thero try hlra for wma high
crime with which they had charged him.
He would be convicted, of cotirso, and sen
tenced to be led to the block and decapitat
ed. A student named William Patterson
came along In time, and was put through
the court and sentenced In the usual sol
emn and Impressive manner. Ho was
blindfolded and led to the block, and his
neck placed In position. The executioner
swung the ax, and burled It in the block,
allowing it, to bo sure, to go nowhere near
Patterson's, head. The students laughed
when the trick was at an end, but Patter
son was dead. Ho had died from what the
medical men call shock. All tbo students
wero put under arrest, and the question
arose, "Who struck Patterson?" On the
trial It was shown that nobody struck him,
but the medical students retained the ex
pression, and It has como down through
them to the present day. Dr. Sam Anderum

The following artlolo In reference to
Frank I. Frayne, who with his company
played "Mardo" here last spring, Is taken
from (he Philadelphia Timet of Tuesday.
It will be remembered that he then carried
with hlra a number of animals, which were
Introduced Into the play, Including a large
lion and two hyenas.
"I sco that Lillian Olcott, the actress, has
a pet green snake which she ImprisoLS In a
golden harness and suspends from her col.
lar," said a gentleman yesterday. "That
reminds me of Frank Frayne. You remem
ber, him, ot course; be used to do some
wouderful rifle shooting In a play of bis
called 'Mardo,' or something of that sort,
and acctdently shot and killed his young
woman assistant at Cincinnati a few years
ago. When I was a boy at Danville, Ken-,
turky, Frayno worked in his brother's
marble-cutting shop there, chiseling out
tombstones. We boys used to go to his
shop very often to see biro play vltb a
green snake which he had. It was about
eighteen inches long hut very slender, and
Frayno would let It coil around his neck
and crawl all over him. It was as green as
grass, and Frayno used to tell us bo caught
it In tho woods. They say Miss Olcott Im
ported hers from Africa."

Wo understand that ladles In this vlcln
lty havo received circulars from "Tho Ar
tistic Needlework Company, 135 Eighth St.,
near Broadway, Now York' The offers
made by this 'company" aro very seduct
ive, "tho work ensuring," as their circulars
say, "an Income of $8 and upwards per
week, according to quantity and quality of
work returned," but tho whole thing Is an
abominable swindle, and anyone having
any dealings with them Is sure to be badly
cheated. Tho "company" consists of ono
man, whoso mothnd of robbing confiding
women was fully exposed In a recent lssuo
of tho New York W'orli. His manner of
operating Is as follows: To ladles who
wrtto to the company a long circular Is
sent, containing a prtco list ot what Is paid
tor work, and desiring one dollar to be sent
to them for a package containing materials
to do their work. Tho dollar Is to bo re
turned to the sender after sho has dono
work and boen paid to the amount ot $25.
The victim sends tho dollar and receives
the package, but tho work, or course, docs
not suit the company, and Is for some tlmo
sent back. Finally, however, thoy receive
a piece of work, which appears to suit
them, and along comes another circular,
with "Work Passed," In bold letters across
the top. Bplow Is an Interesting plcco of
Information, beginning "Wo require a de
posit of $5 on the first package sent out.
This Is necessary for insuring the safety of
out materials and work, and Is In accord
anco with long-standing commercial
usage,"ctc. If the $5 Is sent that Is tho
last the victim hears from the company,
and no amount of threats will induce them
to answer a letter. Tho lady loses her six
dollar, time and labor, and has In return a
few materials worth about 20 cents.
An advertisement of this company un.
knowingly appeared In tho Colcmbian a
few weeks ago, but haying found slnco
that It is tbo operation of a swindler, we
advise our readers not to bo taken in by
him.

Church workers,
The following is taken from a cotnmuni
canon from Rev. W. R. Burrows in Tht
Church News, of Feb. 16, an Episcopal paper
published In St. Louis. Mr. and Mrs
Bruglcr have many relatives hero.
"Butler is the county seat ot Bates

progress and now numbers sixty scholars.
Through tho kindnoss or Mr. J. K. Brug.

speak of Butler without recording tho con.

I met such cheerful; tireless Church work,

of Christian Influence established In But.

A commission of three nautical experts

TencHcrn' institute,
OATAWISBA, FA., FEBRUARY 25, 1898.
Institute called to order at 10:30 a. m.
In tho absence of Hupt. Grimes, Mr, Alfred
Howcr was elected chairman and C. II.
Kcvuotdt and Miss Haltle Bldlcman ap
pointed secretaries. Rev. G, B, Dcchant
conducted tho Devotional exercises and the
Institute joined in singing the old familiar
hymn, "Nearer My God to Thee."
Prof. O. U. Albert then took up tho tub-
jeet of History. "Tho child should have
Instilled Into his mind a dcslro to know
and to become acquainted with tho doings
of thetncoole, their modes of living, Indus
tries, &c This can best bo taught by re
latlng suitable stories and then having the
children glvo them in their own language;
always encourage them to express them
selves clearly, and to pay particular atten
tion to all questions Asked. After pupils
have been In school four or five years, the
word may then bo taken up topically, and
pupils should be encouraged to uso all the
textbooks at their disposal. Bo suro to
locate all Important geographical points
and, as far as possible, teach geography
and history together."
Miss Howe gave an excellent class drill
In numbers, measuring tho number four by
three, and afterwards tested ths pupils'
knowledge by means of cards, toy money,
Ac.
In the absence of some ot the speakers,
Mr. Creasy, director, opened the subject of
geography, saying that too often yaluable
time is wasted by tho teacher in dwelling
on minor points, aud not bringing out
clearly that which Is ot far more Import,
anco to tbo pupil. Maps should bo made
so as to glre only a bird's eye view, as It
were, of the countries.
The subject was lurther discussed by
Profs. Albert and Cope. Tbo latter claim
ing that the way to teach geography Is to
make it real, live and interesting, and one
of the best way ot doing this is by mould
ing. By so doing the relative heights can
be given, the courses ot tbo rivers marked
out, and the productions peculiar to any
part located, thus giving the pupils a bird's
eye view, a real living picture, aud not
merely the bara facts and words. In re
gard to what should be taught and what
should be left untaught, depends upon the
tact of the teacher. To require the pupils
to memorize all the names of all the rivers,
cities, the parallels, &c is simply absurd.
Teach only tho most Important rivers and
cities, a few of the principal points, and
use tbem as a guide by which to locate the
others.
Institute adjourned to meet at 1:30 p. m.
Institute called to oroer by the chairman
at the appointed time.
Singing, "Walt and Murmur Not," by
tho Institute; after which Miss Kurtz gave
an Interesting class drill on physiology.
Bessie Miller, n pupil from Mr. Vought's
school, then favored tho Institute with a
solo, "Rock a Bye Baby," and a number
of pupils drilled by Misses Brown and
Keifer gave a concert recitation entitled,
"What We Shall Be."
Dr. Waller next addressed the Institute
on "Discipline." Among tho essential
qualities necessary on the part of a teacher
to discipline his pupilB, he gave those of
neatness, firmness, gentleness, and even
ness. As we had the privilege of hearing
only a part of this address we can not give
the substance of it, but know that It was
appreciated by all.
The subject of decimal fractions -was
taken up and developed by Mr. I, H. Win
ter, after which Prof. Copo spoko on "Cri
ticism of Language Work," Language
work should begin very early and should
bo mostly written." Iu answer to the
question, "Should the teacher be expected
to examine all this work?" tbo Prof, says
that on tho principle of the "Child's learn
ing to do by doing," he, and not the teach
er, is tho one to examine and crlttslzo the
work." To show clearly how this may be
done ho gave a class drill, which was both
interesting and instructive.
Singing by a double quartette from room
4, Mr, Hower then opened the subject ot
reading. "Special attention should be
given to thought getting, and teachers
should always first ascertain whether pup
ils have tho thought before allowing them
to read. Pupils should not be held too
cfoscly to the reading book, but be given a
great deal of supplementary reading."
Silent reading, oral expression, proper man
ner and tlmo of crtttsizing, &c, were taken
up and discussed by different persons.
The Institute was then favored with an
address by Dr. Kline who, among other
things, said that he was glad to see the In
terest manifested by not only the teachers,
but also by the pupils, patrons and direct
ors, and that It Is certainly a step toward
tho front. In speaking of co-operation on
tho part ot patrons tbo Dr. said: "Since
tbo welfare of tho country depends upon
the Interests taken in tho education ot the
children; and slnco the teacher Is partly
held responsible fortbe lntcller.taal training
of tho children, tho parent should always
keep In mind that whenever the child is
allowed to remain at home, not only aro
the child's Interests underrated, but also
tho teacher's work Interfered with.
Mr. E. B. Gule next spoko on tho im
portance of paying close attention to the
promotion of pupils and urged the parents
to keep children In school as long ai pos
sible, saying that not more than 25 per cent
n me pupus in tue primary grades ever
reach tho high school, and not over 5 per
cent, are ever given the privilege of attend.
