The first number of the Teach ers' Institute lecture Course needs no introduction to the people of Columbia county. Katharine Ridge- way has been so enthusiastically received here before that it is un necessary to advertise her further than to announce that she will be at the Normal Auditorium next Monday night. The lecturer for Tuesday even ing is Dr. Samuel Parks Cadnuu of the Central Congregational church of Brooklyn, perhaps the strongest church of its order 111 the world today. He is a peerless ora tor, with an amazing breadth ol knowledge and depth of insight. There is no stronger man on the American platform today. His subject is "The Puritan in Two Worlds." Not long since we had the pleas ure of hearing the Royal Gypsy Concert Company who will give the concert Wednesday night. This is a company organized and trained by Tali Morgan at Ocean Grove, and consists of ten artists eight se lected female voices, nearly all of whom are soloists; the company in cludes two gentlemen a musical director and a humorist. We guar antee this company to please all who desire wholesome and genuine entertainment. Dr. lid ward Amherst Ott, it will be remembered, lectured here three years ago on "Sour Grapes. So many requests have been made that be be returned that we have secur ed him to close the course with his great lecture entitled "The Haunt ed House," or the secret of mental power. Dr.Ott is known everywhere in the middle west as "the lecturer with a purpose," and already he is in great demand in eastern courses. The oftener you hear him the bet ter you will like him. The cost of the entire course is $1.50. Single admission to con certs 75 cents; to lectures 50 cents. The board opens Friday morning, November 29th at Bidleman's store. Wm. W. Evans, Co. Supt. COUNTY MUST PAY ARCHITECT. The decision of Judge Kunkle, in the Dauphin county court that En gineer and Senator Ii. Thomson was entitled to three per cent, of the contract price of the Catawissa paper mill bridge for drawing the plans and an additional four per cent, lor superintending the work of the bridge's construction after the county commissioners had re fused to pay him more than three per cent, for drawing the plans and two per cent, for work as superin tendent, will undoubtedly result in bringing other architects down on the county. H. R. Leonard, the architect of the Catawissa river bridge, is now claiming $2,439 for services render ed in addition to the $6,445 he has already received. Exceptions to his bill have been filed by the coun ty commissioners, through their solicitor, W. H. Rhawn, on the grounds that the bill is exorbitant and unreasonable aud his work not performed in a skillful and work- i manlike manner. DIED OP TYPHOID.

Required ot the Intersection ol All Public Roads in County. It is said that proecution may be brought for neglect to have proper road signs up in the town ships of the county, as the super visors are making themselves lia ble to punishment for not enforcing the sign board law a 4 embodied in act of the State legislature. In a drive about the country and upon observation it will be found that comparatively few sign boards, pointing out the way aud the num ber of miles to certain towns or vil lages, are in the proper shape. The matter has been a subject for talk on the part of autoniobilists and drivers of vehicles in general who have occasion to use the country roads. Concerning the placement of sign boards in conspicuous places upon the public roads of the respective townships of the county, an act of the State legislature iu 1836 says the following : The supervisors aforesaid shall cause posts to be erected at the intersection of all public roads within their respective townships (where trees are not con venient) with boards firmly fixed thereon and indexed boards point ing to the direction of such roa is, on which boards shall be inscribed in large aud legible characters the name of the town, village or place where such roads may lead, and the distance thereto computed in mi'.es. If any supervisor shall, after ten days' personal notice, neglect or re fuse to put up or keep in repair in dex boards as aforesaid such super visor shall for every offense forfeit aud pay a sum not exceeding ten dollars. Upon investigation it has been found that it is the duty of the con stable of the township to report to the supervisor of his district of sigu boards which are in bad condition, or of places which are iu need of boards. Besides being a matter of law, sign boards at various crossroads of the county are also a matter of pride. Great pride is taken by most counties in having the index boards well arranged about the townships, and it is to be regretted that strangers are compelled to drive through our home county at a loss to know where or near what towns they are iraveliug. Not only to strangers would the sign boards be a great convenience, but to Columbia couutians them selves, who are not well acquainted with the land it would be greatly appreciated. PHILO REUNION.

The Sunbury Daily of Saturday says: The most remarkable order ever issued by the Pennsylvania railroad since its system first start ed running with the precision of delicate machinery, was sent to all points of its lines Saturday, direct ing that no trains be run between six p. m. Saturday and six p. m. Sunday, except stock trains and the regular express trains. The gen eral order was received at BQ office here. No crews are being called to leave here after six o'clock this evening. All crews out on the road, whether at Williamsport.Ren ovo or Harrisburg, during the next twenty-four hours will either lay over there or else come on passen ger trains over Sunday. No per ishable freight trains will be start ed from New York, Philadelphia, or the other great centres of traffic. When machinery begins to move again on Sunday night, everything will be almost as it is left off this evening. There will be no more or no less freight at any point than there was before. One yard engine will be run in each yard here for emergency purposes. The Sunbury division officials say that they al ways have tried to keep down the Sunday movement of freight traius and would never run auy if they could help it. Boil Eggs Without Water. Chicago Hotel Has New Electrical Device That Guests May Watch, Boiling eggs without the nse of water is the latest novelty exploit ed at oue of Chicago's leading ho tels, and as the feat is accomplished directly before the eyes of the guest, the new way of cooking gen erally attracts attention and com ment. The waiter places a box-like ap paratus before the guest and turns on the electricity from a little bracket on the wall aud places the desired uumber of eggs in the heat er. Iu about a minute and a half or half the time consumed by the hot water process, the eggs are cooked to a turn. The idea is an idea origiuated by Prof Radke, of Armour Institute.
