TIIE SCRANTON TIUBTJNE THURSDAY JUORNING, NOVEMBER 1, 1894. .... dsmlL "... ft mm FRANK H. Sketches of Two of the Candidates for Important Offices. MEN WITH CLEAN KECORDS Few Facts Concerning the Curecrs of Frank II. demons unJ Thomas I). Da-vies-Prominent CundiJates I'pon the Republican County Ticket. Frank II. Clemona, Republican can didate for sheriff of Lackawanna coun ty, represents the progressive eluss of young1 business men whose energy1 and ability have made Scranton celebrated the world over for its enterprise. Frank II. Clemons was born In this city on March 4, 1S37, and is one of the grand children of Elllsha Hitchcock, one of the pioneers of this region, and who, once upon a time, owned most of the lund upon which the city of Scranton stands today. Mr. Clemons spent his early life in the country, on the farm, where Providence gave all opportunities to grow a healthy body. The parents lived in South Ablngton and then later In Spring brook township. Ilia early education was secured in the public school, and for a brief senson he at tended a private shool in the city of his birth. He began to earn his own living In the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western car shop, where he worked at repairing .cars under Captain Kellow. Leaving the car shops, he resolved to attend school with I'rufessor Gardner, and took a business course. In due time he grad uated and secured a position ns book keeper in the Scranton SavlngB Bank and Trust company, where our present Lieutenant Governor Watres was then cashier. After some time Mr.. Clemons left this position to take a more luera tlve One with the Lackawanna Iron and Coal company. Here he remained until he entered business of his own. He en gaged In the wholesale crockery and glassware business In the spring of 1SS2, at 422 Lackawanna avenue, where he continues to the present day. " P. H. Clemons has served the public In minor capacities. For three terms he faithfully did his duty on the com mon council of the city of Scranton, and at present he la serving a term on the select council In this city, as a repre sentative from the Seventeenth ward. During his entire career In the councils he has ever been upon the side of Im provement and progress. Not an nrdl " nance has ever passed the council In the interest of public welfare that has not been championed by P'rank Clem ons, and he has always stood in the front rank In laboring for any cause that would advance the city's interests. During the campaign of 1XS8, he served with satisfaction to oil as chairman of the Republican committee, and again In the campaign of 1S:)2, he was honored by being elected chairman of tho same committee. In both of these campaigns the Republicans were very successful. As a business man Mr. Clemons Is very well known and honored. He has also engaged in other enterprises than the one to which he has given his chief attention, and Is. Rt present treasurer if the Rlue Ridge Coal company. His illowers are many and his friends arc imerous. THOMAS D. DAVIES. For the office of county treasurer the Republicans of Lackawanna have made a wise selection in placing in nomina tion the name of Thomas D. Davies, a man of clean character and sterling In tegrity, an undevlating advocate and exemplar of the very best business principles. Mr. Davies was born In South Wales about fifty-nine years ago. Coming to this country early In life, he earned his living In the mines around Hyde Park Scranton, for many years, raising step by step to the successive offices of re sponsibility open to the faithful servant In that occupation as In others, and to day stands at the head of his calling as the practical, painstaking nnd cautious assistant superintendent of the Dela ware, Lackawanna and Western's Im mense coal Interests. Mr. Davies' pres ent position is the highest. recommenda tion he could hope for or his fellow citizens whose suffrages h lo now ask ing could wish. In the performance of his present duties he Is compelled to exercise great executive and adminis trative ability, coupled with a ready comprehension of business situations. PIERCE..

That he fulfills all the exacting re quiivnu'tits Is indicated in the fact that he has always had the fullest conlldence nf the directorate of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western company. uunng tne tnirty-nve years of his resi dence In Lackawanna count v. Mr. Da- vies has followed so honorable and straightforward a course that nt this juncture, when personal u'uallflcutlons and character Involving the finest points In moral ethics are open for pub lic scrutiny and close criticism, there Is found nothing upon which to hang reproach. In whatever relation Mr. Da vies has been placed he has never once fulled to size up to the full stature of the honorable man. In religious, so cial or business circles, he has never been known to shirk a responsibility, however Insignificant its Import. He has always been an active and aggres sive lighter for every movement con ducive to promoting the moral and material welfare of his fellow citizens. In tho tight for the erection of the new county of Lackawanna Mr. Davlea did yeoman service and much of the suc cess of that memorable campaign on the west side of the county seat is due to his well directed efforts. Mr. Davits is a Republican of the stalwart type. While he has reserved the liberty at all times to criticise what he thought was unwise pplley, he never swerved in his allegiance to the party of his choice and never faltered In his support of Its candidates when placed in tlie field. He is moreover a tireless worker and has done the party great service In preserving Its forces intact and in promoting harmony. He has never in all the long years of service asked for an ofllce at the hands of the Republican party, though he has fre quently been placed In positions of re sponsibility by favor, or by the force of his many friends. In short he is a manly man, a loyal and devoted citizen of his adopted country, and If elected, r.i mm 1 A'- THOMAS there Is everything In the life and char acter of Thomas D. Davies to warrant the belief that he will do the county honor, and the ofllce much credit. ZEIGLER DID NOT ELOPE. Ho Went to Cni honjulc In Search of Work nnd I'ound It. A rumor has been current on Washington avenue and In upper Oreen Ridge of the elopement of George Zleg ler, who, until recently, resided near the county Jail, and a Mrs. Price, of the same locality. Mrs. Price, It appears, has left her husband, nnd about tho same time Zlegler, without any apparent reason, left his work as teamster for the Scran ton Iron and Fence company and went to Search for a Job In his own line as a bricklayer. He forgot to Inform his wife of his probable destination. The neighbors were en.ua! to the occasion and a neat lltttle story in which Zlegler and Mrs. Price figured as tho principal figures was soon floating about. Last night Mrs. Zlegler received. a letter from her absent husband In which he stated that he had secured employment In Cnrbondalo nnd would locate permanently there. The letter was shown to a Tribune reporter and no mention was made of anything save his regret that he had not written sooner nnd how he longed to see his wife and baby. 1 Kcccptlon and Donation Pay.

VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS MADE Dr. White, Dr. Lyto, Prof. Albert nud iMlss I'utiiJgo Direct the .Minds of tho Teachers Along New Lines of Educational Woik Rev. Rogers Israel, of St. Luke's Episcopal church opened the morning session of the city teachers" Institute yesterday with prayer. Mr. Newton spoke for a half hour on music and gave In connection with It an Interesting talk on . the two operas. "Lohengrin" und the "iiohemlnn Girl." Miss I'utrldge spoke to the primary department of the Institute on correct ive training; Professor Albert spoke on geography, and Dr. White took up the last hour until noon on punishment In the school room. The following com mittee on permanent certificates was elected: H. K. liurdick, John E. O'Mal ley, Joslo Lees, Ida M. Christmas and W. R. Groves. The afternoon session hnd for Its first consideration a lecture on methods of music by Mr. Newton. lie Is very en thusiastic and the teachers are easily made to follow his instructions In the, tonic solfa system. They have, since the first lecture by him, given very close attention and his boast that they will be able to go back to their schools and teach the pupils music after a week's tuition appeared to be well founded. Dr. Lyte, of Mlllersville, followed Mr. Newton and spoke on memory train ing. The subject was divided Into three branches which he styled: Retention,. recognition and recollection. He took up each one separately and gave rules to govern the cultivation of these facul ties. He said that the physical well-be ing of the body has a good deal to do with memory training. A healthy nerv ous system aids retention, exercise In gymnastics give a pupil control over the hand in writing language, and vocal exercises give a training In spoken lan guage. A healthy flow of blood to the brain makes an active mind and physi ology teaches that exercises Is the only thing that produces this. Frequency of repetition aids retention, but the repetition must be of the right kind. Vividness of expression aids retention. and undivided attention must be given to remember and retain facts. System of Gymnastics. Thyslcal Director Weston, of the Young Men's Christian association, brought a class of boys on the staf and explained the system of exercise in the gymnasium by putting the little fellows through their drill. It was a culisthenlc exhibition and in that part of It that Is used to develop the chest and lungs the ladles Joined with unl mated interest. Hefore Introducing Miss Tatridgi Superintendent Phillips nnnounced that special urrangement3 had been made to accommodate 100 teachers with reserved seats at 40 cents apiece if there were that number who desired to hear Rev. Joseph Cook in his famous lecture at the Frotliingham this even ing. Any teacher wishing to Join tho club can enroll with Jliss Josie Lee,s, tho secretary. Miss PatrUlge spoke on tho time '-. - In Z D. DAVIES. worn subject, "The Teacher," but she Investor! It with a bright presentation that awi'kcned n deep Inteiest. Tho teacher, she said, must be a manly man or a womanly woman, one that the pu pils must perforce reppect and esteem for admirable qualities. The. teacher Is daily becoming more and more forced to teach the pupil tho education tha the home neglects. The father Is getting too busy and the mother has no time to teach moral lessons to their otiVpring nnd the teacher Is required to do that work. The teacher must also take car of the physical being of the child. All can remember when all the teacher had to do was to train the Intellectua nature; now the teacher must know methods, lie must trnln the child In manual exercise. He must know how to care Tor eye diseases that physician state are contracted In the school room Ho must know how to obviate snlna diseases, and various nervous diseases The lecture was a comparison of the old systems of teaching and the new. Miss Partridge rather favored the new nys. tern and urged the teachers to becoinq familiar wan tt. After tho session adjourned a small clas Interested in psychology remalne end discussed the subject" privately with Dr. wnite. Sessions of County Teachers. re county institute opened at 9 a. m and Professor Kppsteln continued hi series of lectures on "Music" nnd was followed by Dr. Lyte, who delivered his second lecture on "Language." I court room No. 2 Professor Albert gav an address on '"lilvstory" and Miss Leila It. Patrldge renewed her lls. course, "Process and Problems." When the teachers assembled together 1 court room No. 1, Superintendent Tay lor announced that the permanent cer tlflcate commutoe would tt? electe and a list of eligible teachers was dls. trlbuted with Instructions to vote for live. ino niternoon session met at 2 p. m when Professor JSppsteln delivered hi sixth lecture on "Music." Professor Albert gp.ve an excellent address on uuservation Lesson in Natural Ills tory" and sold that teachers freouent. ly complained that they had too much to ao in teacning geography, arlthme BLESS PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND Hr. and Irs, Ruff Were Restored by It to Perfect "There Is no doubt that the life of most women nt the .present day Is a complex one," says the Ladies' Home Journal, "and In the large cities the de mands made upon time and strength are legion. No wonder so mnny fall by tho v. ny." Kven women of tho privileged classes know what fatigue means, and the weariness resulting from overtaxed nerves, that is more intense and more depressing than anything known to tired muscles. When frequent headaches nnd neu ralgia give warning that the nerve tis sues are not being fully repaired after hard work or anxiety, further mischief will be avoided by feeding the brain and nerves with the wonderful nutriment, Pnlne's celery compound. Nature Is a gentle mother and soothes' while she strengthens. Palne's celery compound" builds up tho body according to nature's plan. Tho human machine must have fuel. This grand invigorat,or and strength ener Is abkj to restore tho delicate nerves to robust health by feeding them rapidly and ubundautly with tho pecu liar elements they find t so ditljcuit to extract for tnemselves from the ordin ary hearty diet. . A great nerve doctor, famous In two continents, says that any woman whoso nervous strength Is at all depleted must either take time to rest at any cost or replace the worn-out tissues with Palne's celery compound. A woman should . never be too tired to smile. Pahua's celery compound Is today busy in Its miuslon to homes everywhere in the land, mnking sunshine, hopeful faces, nnd ready smiles where there was tic, etc., without taking upon them selves the responsibility of teaching natural history. In talking of whnt they fxpressnd us "new fangled things" teachers frequently made the mistake of mistaking the purpose of natural history lessons; they were intended to us the eyes and the ears and to In struct children to look, see and hear, and make them 'ablei 'to make the proper use of the five senses, nnd util ize them in the manner Intended. They should be taught to look and observe, lo get something definite, and they should appreciate the great .difference letween looking or seeing for a definite or for an Indefinite purpose. , in nia opinion it was highly desirable to give the boy less Instruction In the ordinary rudiments of education and devoto more of his time to lessons In natural history. I'rofessor Albert then gave the teachers examplcn of lessons In natural history and showed a small skein of silk from which .he. deducted various lessons as models of teaching. He urged that If teachers would apply themselves to this work, they would be of more value, would command more salary nnd create a larger demand for thos(j peclal. services.-. a v Methods of Instruction. Dr. White gave nn Interesting dis course on "Methods of Instruction," Knowledge can be taught only by oc casioning the appropriate activities of the learner's mind, ho said; primary knowledge can only be . taught objec tively. The several mental powers can he trained only by their appropri ate study Mrntal action results In In creased mental power and tendency. Skill In any school art Is acquired only by practice under guidance. Clear and correct Ideals must guide practice or Primary facts must be taught objec tively. If science was taught by obser vation in the universities it should cer tainly be taught likewise In the primary schools, and even In object lessons It goes beyond the eye. The child should always find out hlmeelf by . study and obsrvatlon the point and tho teacher should only direct. Professor White then reviewed the various methods of instructions and concluded by comparing the methods and results of twenty years ago with the present dny, showing that tho latter-day teaching had deteriorated. Institute Notes. SuperlntendentTnylnrexpressed him self to a Tribune reporter yesterday as quite satisfied with the success of the county Institute nnd Is of opinion that the division of the city and county teachers has proved of great benefit. It was Impossible previously to command the same attention and gofd order with the large number of teachers In the combined Institute, and the divisions were ulso better accommodated.. The divisions are greatly appreciated Inasmuch ns teachers In high schools could not maintain a great Interest In urlmary school lessons and vice versa, hence the Idea of dividing the lectures and teachers according to the subject discussed. . . Professor M. J. Lloyd, of Dickson City, the efficient secretary of the coun ty institute, has recently returned from an extended tour In Wales, nnd as de lighted with hia sojourn In the land of song. Tho people of Dickson City would ensure a trent If Professor Lloyd could be prevailed upon to deliver a lecture recounting his travels. ' There are 308 members of tho county Inatltute enrolled, and Superintendent Taylor believes that, practically, all at tend the sessions. Like a white chrysanthemum the gray head of Professor P. .J White, the ex pedagogue, was seen bobbing up here Health, sadness and the weary looks of despair. Mrs. Jennie A. Ruff, whose portrait is given above, writing from her home in Sebewu, Mich., says: "My husband has had a stomach trou ble for over a year, from which he suf fered the tortures of a dally death. He could eat scarcely anything, and whnt he did eat soured on his stomach and caused him to bloat so terribly that life was only a burden. He tried physicians to no avail, and as I was taking Paine' celery compound, he thought ho would try It. In a short time he was surprised to find that he could eat anything with no uad euects; tne moating is all gone and his stomach is in good condition. "I had suffered for years with periodi cal spells of sick headache; pen cannot describe what I suffered at such times. For the lust two years I noticed that my nervous system was getting all out of order; I had no appetite and was get ting to be a mere shadow of my former self. I was nervous, weak, could not rest nights, and felt gloomy and low spirited. Refore I had taken one bottle of Palne's celery compound I began to feel like a new person, and now, after taking six bottles, I am enjoying per fect health. I have not had a spell of sick headache In over a year. My nerves are all right, my sleep Is like that of a healthy child, and I feel more like one than a woman of 30. I do all my own work and bless Palne's celery compound for what It has done for me and mine. "Wo have used In our family 12 or 13 bottles of Palne's celery compound. Doctor's bills are now unknown in our family." and there at the county teachers' Instl- ute. The professor never falls to come around and shake hands with old ac quaintances. Professor M. W .
