C10SE OF TlliT INSTITUTE.
Iostractors That Wcro Heard at the
Last Session-Tha Resolutions Adopted.
Mrs. Booths Talk on Color.
The teachers' institute, which lias
been In progress since Monday in t In
Young Men's Christian association hall,
closed at noon yesterday. During the
morning, addreawes were given b Dr.
Wlnshlp, Mrs. Lucy Booth and , Dr.
Brumbaugh and a long net of resolu
tions were adopted.
Rev. S. F. Matthews, of the Scranton
Street Baptist church, openod'the ses
sion with prayer. Dr. Wlnshlp then
gave a continuation of his lecture on
Horace Mann, In which he urged that
this great educator's work be studied
and revered, aa his great sorrows and
struggles offered teachers of today an
encouragement and uplifting.
Professor V. A. Stone read the fol
lowing resolutions In which appears a
paragraph charging the teachers with
discourtesy for not going to hear State
Superintendent Schaeffer's lecture Mon
day night. The resolutions were unan
imously adopted:
INSTITUTE RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, The third annual institute of
the Scranton teachers is about to close Its
sessions and thus interrupt our mental
arid social recreations that we have been
permitted to enjoy during the week; there
fore, be It
Resolved. First, That we extend to our
earnest superintendent. Professor Howell,
whoxe energy ami seal have contributed
so largely to the success of the infill tut",
our sincere thanks; his preference for
home talent where It was possible to
obtain It, his wise selection of our elllcl-m
Instructors, and his fearless championship
of what he considers right commend him
favorably to his teachers.
Second, That we extend to the able corps
of Instructors that have been with us
during the Institute our sincere thanks for
the benent we have derived from them,
Inasmuch as they have In many instances
opened up new lines of thought and in
spired us with new Interest In our work.
Third, That we thank the board uf
control for furnishing music books und
other real and Intended encouragement.
Fourth, That the thanks of this Institute
be extended to the dally press for their
detailed and accurate reports of the pro
ceedings. Fifth, That we sincerely deprecate our
apparent discourtesy to State Superin
tendent Dr. Schaeffer and Superintendent
Howell in not being present at the hall
on .Monday evening to near me lecture on
The Hltrli School uuesuon.
Mlxth. That we demand the prompt and
sinci eiiiurvt-iiieiu vi 111 i-uiiiiuipui y euu-
cation act: we also recommend the Intro
ductlon and passage of an additional act
for the employment of teachers while their
efficiency continues. In our opinion the
enforcement or ine tormer anu me enact
ment of the latter would be steps toward
perfecting that grand institution, the put
lie school system of the United States.
Seventh, That Increased efficiency in the
school work of this city, so much demand
ed by the times, cannot be secured except
by a substantial increase in ine salaries
paid teachers. The best talent will thus
he attracted and held by a rate of com-
Denstlon commensurate with that in other
professions uemanuing no niKner orut-r
of ability, vte respecuuuy invite ine at
tention of all Interested In our public
schools to this matter believing that Jus
tice will then be done where justice Is due.
Eighth, That we, ns teachers, be more
ulert to see ana reaay io improve ine op
portunities presented to us from time to
time for our mutual improvement and pro
tection to such societies as the Teachers'
Mutual Beneflt association, which was or
ganized for securing aid io teachers in
times of accident of sickness.
Ninth. That as Miss Sarah Rogers, Miss
Maria Walsh and Mrs. Connell, three of
our faithful co-workers, have been re
moved from our ranks by death, we ex
tend our deepest sympathy to their rela
tives and friends.
Mrs. Marlun Bloom,
Mrs. M. A. Tlerney,
M. J. Ketrlck,
J. M. Beaumont,
D. A. Stone.
MRS. BOOTH'S TALK.
Mrs. Lucy Booth, teacher of form
drawing In this city's schools, gave a
very comprehensive talk on "The
Hand," In which she averred that color
blindness is really color dullness and
Is aggravated by the universal use of
black and white and color dullness Is
color Ignorance. Remove the Ignor
ance and there Is no dullness nor blind
ness. A conception of color cannot be
expected If colors are not used; It Is a
matter of cultivation. Because of Its
newness and originality Mrs. Booth's
talk was received with no little appre
elation.
Dr. Brumbaugh, whose wit and fund
of practical knowledge have made htm
one of the most popular of the corps of
Institute instructors, rave the closing
lecture. His topic was "The Function
of Nature In Education." He earnest
ly advocated object lessons from na
ture, and gave as his chief argument
the child's knowledge of nature. For
objective lessons the object Is useless
unless the pupil Is familiar with it.
A vocal selection closed the session.

TRIED TO BULLY A BOY.
He Was a Bull Boy with His Fists and
Showed It.
A lively scene was created In Ross'
blacksmith shop, Adams avenue, yes
terday afternoon, about 2 o'clock. At
that hour the shop was In charge of a
boy, Henry Decker. Mr. Rosa being at
dinner. A drunken fellow named
George Haynes, entered the shop and
was preparing to go to sleep In a cor
ner when young Decker ordered him
to leave.
Instead of obeying the command,
Haynes tried to bully the boy and fall
ing In this ho seized a hammer and
attempted to strike him. Decker, who
Is a wiry youngster and unusuallv
Btrong even for a blacksmith, caught
his assailant on the jaw with a swing
ing right hunder and sent him sprawl
ing Into the street.
As he was falling his head came In
contact with a stone tie post and two
large gashes resulted. Thu young fel
low then got astride the prostrate bully
and held lilm down till Chief Simn
son in;,'.; along and took both of them
In tow. Docker was released until this
morning at o'clock and Haynes was
looked up.
Haynes has served a term In the pen
itentiary for burglarizing J. D. Clarke'p

be remembered that his booty on that
occasion consisted only of a lot of old
tobacco bags filled with sawdust, which
were used for advertising purposes.

GOOD KOADslliETINC.
Held t ndor the Atlsptecs of the South
Side Wheelmen's Clnb.
There was not a large audience pres
ent at Oert mania hall last night, but
those who were there comprised the
prominent residents of the South Side,
and a deep Interest was taken In the
subject of highway Improvement. City
Controller Edmund J. Robinson, Coun
cUmen C. H. Chittenden, John E. Roche,
Robert Robinson. Philip Wlrth and P.
J. Hiokey had front seats. The speak
ers were ex-County Surveyor A. B.
Dunning, City Treasurer C. Q. Boland
and Assistant Postmaster Herman Os
thaus. Colonel Eugene Call, of The
Tribune, Illustrated Mr. Dunning's ad
dress with stereoptlcon views, which
served to add special Interest to the
Ideas put forth.
M. I. Judge, president of the South
Side board of trade, was the presid
ing officer. He placed himself firmly on
the side of good roads In Introducing
Mr. Dunning, who was escorted to the
platform by Mr. Boland and D. P. Mur
ray. As Mr. Dunning made his bow
to the audience the canvas represented
a vehicle swamped In mud and above
It was Inscribed the words: "Mr. Dun
ning en route for Uermuuln hall." The
speaker didn't know whether this was
meant as a joke or as n libel on the
street commissioner and councllmen,
and while he made the statement that
he did not pass through the experience
pictured, yet he left an Impression that
he might have to wade through seas
of mud If he came over at certain sea
sons. The gist of Mr. Dunnjng's address
was toward systematizing highway
Improvement; not to levy heavier taxes
that we might have better roads, but to
expend the money already at hand in
a more Judicious and careful manner.
He advocated tho construction of roads
at low grade. A horse can pull 2,000
pounds on a level road, and where there
Is a 10 per cent, grade or an elevation
of one foot In ten. the animal can do
only half the work. Grades as well as
mud kill horses. On the question of
where to get the money for better
roads without burdening the taxpayers
he simply repeated that the necessity
Is not so much for additional revenue
as to expend judiciously the revenue at
hand.
City Treasurer Bolund followed Mr.
Dunning and gave a brief but Interest
ing address... ricranton Is a great In
land city, he said, but It requires a
stimulus In the matter of Improving the
streets. Colonel Osthaus was Intro
duced as the third speaker, and enter
tained the audience for a short while
with an eloquent talk on the subject.
The meeting was brought about
through -the efforts of the South Side
Wheelmen's club.
The absence of Colonel Oeorge San
derson was unavoidable; he- was called
out of the city yesterday. The follow
ing resolution was adopted: "Resolved,
That the citizens of Scranton favor
any system of economical road Im
provement and will approve of any
practical law that will Improve the
highways of the state."

LOFTUS VERDICT REDUCED
Jadge Gaaster Lowers It from
1 2,436,60 to $1,500.
THIS IS IX LIEU OP NEW TRIAL
Plalatlffs 4-Year Old Sob. Willie. Was
Killed by a Street Car oa Capons
Avenue Marsh 5. 1894 -New Trial
Asked la Everhart Case.
Judge Gunster handed down an opin
ion yesterday afternoon In the suit of
Patrick Loftus, of Capouse avenue,
against the Scranton Traction com
pany reducing the verdict found by the
jury from $2,486.60 to $1,500. If the
plaintiff is not satisfied with this
amount a new trial will be granted by
the court on the ground that the
amount of Judgment Is excessive and
not sustained by the fair weight of the
evidence.
On March R. 1S94. Willie, aged 3
years, 11 months, and 11 days, son of
the plaintiff, was killed by a Green
Itldge People's street car on Capouse
avenue near New street. The company
was sued for damages and on Feb. 1.
ISM, a verdict for $2,486.60 was returned
for the death of the boy. Attorneys
Ward & Horn represented the plaintiff
and Attorney Horace E. Hand appeared
for the defendant. The latter asked for
a new trial and argument was made
before Judge Gunster. The judge In
his order of yesterday states that the
evidence of the plaintiff showed that It
was a case for the Jury'- But he thinks
the sum of damages was too high and
agreed to let the verdict stand If the
plaintiff agrees to throw off $S6.60.
otherwise a new trial will be granted.
Attorney George S. Horn was seen by
a Tribune reporter and he was not pre
pared to say whether his client will
agree to abide by the decision of the
court. Air. Horn will have a consulta
tion with Mr. Loftus today and they
will talk the matter over. j
