There ure many hard work ers and sdncere.faithful tiatheis among the attendants at the city and county Institutes, but Bhe always notices some difficulty In holding the geneinl atten tion, but in nn assemblage made up of sisters, the breathless., careful Interest is a maiked feature. Certain It Is that not a word of whlspetlng was heard jesterday at the Institute. Per haps one reason was because the only men in the house were two forlorn In dividuals In the back seats and they did not dare converse Wo feel sorry for tho Insane peo ple at the Hillside Home Of course we do, but it Isn't likely that wo, should ever have reached the point of gilet nttalned by the poor board In going to the expense and trouble of tearing down a costly letalnlng wall and caus ing a road to be changed from Its lo cation held for a half century because the "rustics" are alleged to have teased the guests nt this country resort Ac cording to the testimony of the rustics the aflllcted ones are left sevetel alono by the passersby, but a big lawn, as extensive as a deer park, will look ever so nice stretching out In front of the stately buildings, and will glvo such nn air of seclusion to tho outfit, you know. There Is any amount of money in the poor board treasury, and no really good excuse for another new pig pen or a. laundry exists. Of couise all tho old buildings will now, have to be removed to match tho road. The weather of tho past week lias been enough to dlscournge any ono but a golfer.

SOME LECTURES OP RARE MERIT .Mrs. II. llllon Jlurko's Knowledge or Literature niul Method of Teaching Arc n llevclullon--Addrcss on Per spective Drawing by .Hiss itlotiuhnn. .Mothers of Pupils of St. Cecilia's Acndcmy Invited This Afternoon. The Institute of the Sisters of tho Im maculate Heart nt St, Thomas' college dlffeis from the regulation Idea of a leathers' Institute In every respect. The sombio robed Sisters with their quiet, earnest faces benenth the shad ow of the veiled linen present a picture far at variance from that usually Been when bright liued hats and gay attire, moving figures nnd restless, smiling eyes and lips mnke up a kaleidoscope of color. The Instructors at the Sisters' Insti tute have never been excelled at any educational gathering In this city. Mrs. B. HUen Burke, of New York. Is perhaps the most pleasing woman speaker In her line of work heard on a Scranton stage up to this date. She hasabeautlful voice and her knowledge of literature and method of teaching it to even very little children Is a revel ntlon. All public school teachers In the city should be present this afternoon to hear her address. Yesterday morning's session opened with piayer and music. Rev. rather Coffey gave Instructive advice regard ing the preparation of children for the reception of the Sacraments. Mrs. Burke then continued the sub ject of literature She advocated teach ing literature In language lessonH. The greatest writers of the ages) and their rarest thoughts may tnus become fa miliar to tho children. She disapprov ed of dialect selections for early read ing. The Idea of thought-getting Is tho pilnclp.il one, but the beauty and truth therein expressed should be con sidered. Tho value of Longfellow nnd Whlttier as foundations of the chil dren's literary know ledge was empha sized. St Nicholas and Its brilliant editor, May Mapes Dodge, weie recom mended. A class of boys and girls from St. Coelllu's was then brought In and Mis. Burke gave an excellent object lesson. PRACTICAL INSTRUCTION. In the afternoon Mrs. Burke gave many practical Instructions of the pos sibilities of giving the children knowl edge of choice lectures In their reading lessons. First of all, the teacher should so Impress her pupils as to gain their confidence They will then know that shu will not ask them to do anything beyond their powers. She leclted a stanza of Whlttler's "Baiefoot Boy," and afterward one of Helen Hunt Jack son's "September," closing with the lines: "And the asters by tho brookslds Mukc asters In the brook." Showing by judicious Juestlonlng re garding autumnal changes In nature that the children may be led to give their own thought In almost the exact wording of the poet. Her Intonation and enunciation In reading and recit ing are most charming. In one respect she disapproved of the free book system now prevailing in many states, because the child Is apt to love the book he owns. She ad vised the use of many books for read ing lesions. The taste for literature cannot be developed with only one book. Marry children leave school at the age of 12 years. The question as to what he should know In literature then would be dltlicult for most teachers to answer. She nillrmed that he should bo acquainted with the writers of our country, and those of his own language together with the great writers of the world. There ore not so many, twenty live perhaps. Fiorn these four may bo selected besides the Bible. They are Shapespeaie, Dante, Homei JVlrgll. She thought that some knowledge of tho writers of Canada and Mexico should also be gained, while the child should know how to receive benefit from the cyclopedias. There Is a gtcat movement at the present dnv to teach of the myths of ages without taking the trouble to dis tinguish between myth, fable, legend or tradition. A knowledge of myths are necessary to a correct understand ing of most writers. Dante, Shakes peare, Tennyson, Longfellow and the poets In general make such a study useful, but It is best not to go to ex tremes In tho matter, m It affords rrruch room for alaim. A recent publi cation announced Is ".Myths of the Bible " It Is well not to begin too eaily with tho myth instruction. SOME CRISP ADVICE. Among the terse bits of advice Mrs. Butke gave In closing weio these: Don't begin with tho author In your teaching Don't allow thn children to correct each other, unless you wish to create a r.aco of wasps. Have the children read to each other, not to the teacher. Ask them what beautiful thought they noticed, und what pleased them most In tho stanza or paragraph. Miss Manahan, who Is a very at tractive young woman, gave a valuable and Interesting address on "Perspect ive Drawing," illustrating her subject by cnpltal blackboard sketches. This afternoon the teachers of the public schools are invited to be present nt 3 o'clock when Mrs. Burke will de liver an Illustrated address on "The Picture in the Schoolroom." Mothers of tho pupils at St. Cecilia's are also Invited. HUGE SERPENT, THIS. Thomas King Kills a Largo Blucli biinl.o at .Mountain Pond. Thomas King, of Brooklyn street, met with an adventure at Mountain pond last Sunday that he will not for get for some time. Mr. King has charge of a number of boats, that lie lets out to the public. Ha has a cer tain place to stow away his oars to keep them from being stolen by those who frequent tho pond. As Mr. King was about to part the bushes to hide the oars Sunday evening he heard a warning hiss nnd looking down ho saw tho largest snake he had ever beheld. He ran back a short distance to the pond wheie he got help. Then the battle began, for tho snake was very vicious after Jils afternoon nap and put up a very good light for freedom. Mr. Klntr wanted to capture the snake nllvo to use It as an attraction at tho pond, but thn snake would not have It that way and charged time nnd tlpie nguln on tho attacking patty, The sjir.ku was game and would not give In ono inch, but after nn hour's hard fighting, King succeeded in placing th oar down on the snake back of his head. Then his companions came up with forked sticks and fastened tho snake down. King then took a largo sized fish hook with a stout lino at tached nnd putting the hook under tho lower Jaw of his pnnkcshlp pulled It through Ijoth Jaws, and the battle wns won. The snake wns taken to the pond whero ho was measured. He was sK feet seven Inches long and three inches thick. It Is of black snako variety, the largest of North America constric tors. Mr. King has him on exhibition nt the pond side. Carbondalo Herald. SECOND BROTHER ARRESTED. No. ti Cnmo from Rhode Island to Itencuo Brother No. 1. The Tribune yesterday told of the visit of W. II. Togeo, who came hero from Westerly, 11. I., to find his broth er, J. Frank Stanley, as he Is known on the stase, and finally located htm In the city prison, where he was lodged for drunkenness. Yesterday Togee himself was locked up for the same of fense. It is a sad story, and will bear repe tition. "J. Frank Stnnley" is the black sheep of the Togee family. He took to the stage and to drinking, and for many full moons passed he has spent his time and money In this quarter. Four times he has been arrested In Scranton for the same offense, and at each time ho has sent home for money to pay his fine, His family tired of responding, and this week sent W. H. Togee to escort his brother back home. When Togee got heie Tuesday he found "Stanley" In Jail. Tho former didn't have enough money to pay the other's fine, so he telegraphed home for more. While he was waiting for ans wer Togee himself proceeded to spend what he had, and as a result he was arrested by Patrolman John Thomas on Penn avenue at 1 30 o'clock this morn ing, and was placed In a cell next to that of his brother. Mayor Bailey yesterday fined Togee $"., and the same amount against his brother. Both are now In the police station waiting for $10 from home. F0RTV-FIVE TEAMS AT WORK. Kxcnvntiou W ork on n Largo Scale at the Wjornins House Site. - The work of exenv atlng for the foun dation structure of the Jonas Long's new department stoic on the site of the old Wyoming house, is being rapidly pushed forward under the direction of Contractor Conrad Schroeder. There are 45 teams and a force of 70 laborers engaged under Foreman John Hartman and Herman Meyer and the place pre sents an animated scene A depth of some twenty-five feet In several places has been reached. A force of 10 stone masons, under John Lelsner, are engaged in putting up a heavy retaining wall along the curb edge of the Lackawanna avenue side. This wall will be completed in a few days.

Knch day tho busy operations are watched by n largo crowd which stand along the street, leaning against the guard rails. m ASPHALT CONTRACTORS OBJECT. Sny They Arc Barred from Asphalt Pavement Repair Work. A decided objection has been raised to tho partlculais of the specifications accompanying the advertisement for bids to repair the city's asphalt pave ments The bids weie received and opened at last Thursday night's session of common council and vv ere from only the Barber company and the Keystone Paving company, Paul Dunn, agent. It Is claimed by Columbia Constiuc tlon company officials and certain coun cilmen the lake asphalt was specified and that this feature would bar out all bidders excepting the Barber com pany or those who would be forced to purchase their material from that cor poration which controls all of the Trinidad lake output. At tonight's sessions of the two councils It is posslblo that some steps will be attempted toward a new ad vertisement and new specifications. ELM PARK EXCURSION.

FIRE GONG SYSTEM TO BE ABOLISHED Court House Belt Only to Sound Central City Alarms. NO MORE DEAFENING WHISTLES Porn Time, at Least, tho Gong Sys tem Is to Ho Abollshcd.-Thls Was Decided nt n .Meeting of tho Tiro Engineers Last NlghN-Plnn Pro posed for the Appronclilug Anuunl l'nrndo ol the Firemen. The lire alarm gong system Is to be abolished In the central cltv fire dis trict. This conclusion was reached at a meeting of Chief Hlckev and the board of engineers of the lire depart ment, at a stated meeting In the cly hall last night. The reason for the change lies in the frequent complaint of the loud noise of the gongs. This nole Is especially disturbing on the Sabbath during church hours. Then again, n great crowd is attracted by the gong signal, and this hampers the working force of firemen. It was argued at last night's meet ing that while the new method might In some respects prove Injudicious, n trial would prove Its effectiveness or disfavor There are thirty boxes in the central city district, and it is intended to eliminate the gong signal for first call. If another company Is required, the special system comes Into play. If a hose company Is required the lndl caor will recoid two taps, repeated once, and followed ov tho hoiu oin pany's number. An engine company being required, three taps, repeated once, and the engine number will bring that Individual company. Three taps will bring the hook and ladder truck. The rest remains as before. The police patrol, six taps; ambulance, seven tap, general alarm, five taps. If a second alarm Is required thp old system Including the gongs comes Into play Communications were received from the city clerk, Crystal Engine com pany nnd the Volunteer Firemen's .Mu tual Benefit association. DATE OF THE PARADE The communication from tho Flre mens' association and the Crystal en gine company pertained to the chang ing of the date of the annual parade of the firemen from September to October 8. The idea is to give the visiting companies in attendance at the Fire men's state convention In WUkes Barre at that time, an opportunity to visit Scranton and witness this city's annual parade and Inspection. Many companies have been Invited to partici pate, nnd In all probability these com panies will accept the Invitation. In acting upon this request, the board decided to meet again on Wednesday, August 4, and have a committee pres ent from the Firemen's association to consider ways and means of dealing with a large number of visitors upon such nn occasion. The visitors, It was explained, would expect some entertainment and this means expense which must be provid ed for. Besides, there seems to be some sentiment against postponement among many firemen and others. City Clerk M. T. Lavelle sent a sug gestion that each company elect offi cers on or about the first Monday In April, thus allowing1 the Incorporation of valuable data in the clerk's annual manual of councils. The board adopt ed the suggestions and each company will receive a copy of the suggestion and a request to comply. There remains an unexpended bal ance of money from tho excursion of the department Inst year. It was re ported. There Is also a deficit in the "coffeo fund" of the board, owing to several recent heavy domands. Tho board last evening decided to ask each company to signify Its Individual con sent to the transfer of the unexpended balance to the "coffee fund." The companies thus reap a more immediate bencit than they otherwise could. The treasurer, Fred Durr, is ready to make a full rerort upon the amount acces sible. BOX NUMBERS CHANGED.
