The 121 am ul s-ioii of the S.uierset
Couiily Teai hers' Institute convened in
the Court House at o'cUn k Motiday
afteru'sm. Every seal in the large court
room was occupied when County Super
intendent E. E. I'ritts rappeil for order
nnd askel theassembly to unite in sing
ir.g tbe first f tans of "All Hail the Pow-
i er of Jsus" Ntm," w hih was fid lowed
by Keriptural tending snd prayer by Rev.
HiKiver, of the Lutheran Church.
Conspicuous in the audience was the
oldest teacher in point cf service In tbe
county Miss Maggie Knepper, of Berltu
who occuficd the same front row seat
that she ha graced during many former
institutes.
The audiej?e was largely coir. posed of
young nif n, although there was a liiieral
representation f schad inarms, a.tired
in r;ew fall wraps and "fetching" head
gear, ard looking like anything but the
austsreaud iuijialient creatures they are
wont to Le pictured in the mind of the
boy w ho plays hookey."
The "chrysanthemum" style of wearing
the macnline top covering, in vogue at
the higher institutions, of learning
throughout the country, has been culti
vated to a considerable extent by the
young men engsged in teaching in Som
erset county, as was evideuced by tbe
shocks of red, black and yellow hair to
be seen throughout the court roia. As
the wenther iadjcalious forbid arranging
for a foot bail game during the sessions
of institute, il is probable that tbe local
barbe rs will have an opportunity to ex
ercise their skill betweeu now and final
adjournment.
All iu ail tho teachers of Somerset
county are as haudsome a body of young
ladies and gentlemen aa can be found in
Pennsylvania, and their presence in Som
erset is a source of great pleasure to tho
entire population of this town.
R-f.ire-iiitrodui'iiiz Prof. C. M. Patker,
of Iiiiigbamt-m, New York, woo will
have charge of the music daring the
week. Superintendent PritU announced
that the program for the institute hud
been prepared with great care, that th'
instructors present are am.mg the best to
be secured, and that it devolved upon
each individual teacher to assist in car
rying ut the program aud to be ben e
fj tad thareby.
Prof. Parker is a gentleman of oom
manding preseuce, with a voice that
peuetrates to the furthest recesses of the
room, but his voice is so sweetly modu
lated and under sui.sii perfect coutrol, that
it is a delightful treat to bear him sing
his own compositions, notwithstanding
the fact that the one given at Monday
afternoon session is familiar to every
sjhixd boy and girl in tho couni. The
Professor's audience appeared to be j
mightily pleased with him on first ac
quaintance..and it is more than probable
that he w ill be a great favorite w ith it be
fore the close of the week.
When State Superintend"!! SchsetTer
wns seen elbowing his way to m-: Break
er's staud he wjis greeti'd by a tumult of
applause, showing the warm feeling en
tertaiued f r bi n by the teachers of the
couuty. Tho State Superintendent is an
'imperialist' Iu opening his address he
said: "Since last I had tue privilege of
looking into the faces of a Somerset
County Teacher' Institute we have pass
ed through a successful war, and I want
to s iy this afternoon that in the fu ore we
will have to t-a-h geography entirely dif
ferent from heretofore." Conliuuing he
sai l : "It used t.vbe that when the Fourth
of July c!u3 around thesound of cannon
fired in reeouition of and jubilatioa over
our annual anniversary died out on the
shores of Alaska, but undar the new or
der of affairs tbe Fourth of July will be
saluted at sunrise in the Philippine isl
ands aud the report of booming cannon
will be carried over until the next day,
when it w ill reach Cuba, Porto Rioo and
the United States." He referred to the
decay of the Latin nations, and said that
the victory of America over Spain was
simply history repeating it-self, and hint
ed that the day is not far distant when the
Anglo-Saxon and Teutonic races will
dominate the globe. He gave, among
other reasous why he believes this will
ultimately prove true, the fact t"at the
Latin nations have taxed their subjects to
the farthest limit, while the more highly
civiliz d nations have taxed theirsubjects
only for the purpose of carrying on eco
nomical forms of government and edu
cating the masses. The D Kttor paid
a tribute to Pennsylvania's Legislators
for appropriating nearly one-half of the
total revenue of the State for public
school purposes, aud urged the teachers
to inculcate lessons of patriotism into
their pupils and to teach them that it is
their highest duty to pay their just share
of taxation for tbe maintenance of their
ei jvfernment and the schools. "There are
only two political parlies," he declared,
"the 'ins' and th9 'outs.' The 'ins pro
fess to believe that unless they are con
tinued in charge of the affairs of govern
ment it will go to run, while the 'ouU'
insist that unless they are placed in con
trol the country will g i to ruin. On the
Fourth of July the 'ins' and the 'outs'
proclaim from the same slump that we
have the best and greatest Government
on earth. So the truth mast be some
where between. I belong to the 'ins' at
present. So long as the purity of our ju
diciary and tbe billot are un assailed our
form of government is safe against all
foes, and it is therefore of the most urgent
necessity that teachers should teach the
boys who will steer the Ship of State
through the twentieth century that their
highe.t privilege is to cast tl eir oal lots aud
votj their convictions."
EVEMNO EKTKRTAISMENT.
The evening entertaiument was o en
ed w ith a duet by Missts Grace Mutsel
in in and Annie Walker. The singing of
these young ladies proved a gralifyit g
surprise to many in the audience who
realized for tbe first time that Somerset
has native musical talent that does not
suffer w hen compared with the high-pi ic
ed vocalisU brought here at former insti
tutes. Tbe lecturer, Jehu DeWitt Miller, who
was billed to speak on 'The Uses ef Ug
liuess," asked Suporiutendont PritU'
permission to substitute his lecture ou
"Uncle Sam Suffljient Unto Himself."
It was uufortunate that Mr. Miller did
not have the pleasure of hearing Djctor
Schaeifer'a address in tbe afternoon, siuce
he simply ' thrashad over old straw."
In fict, it appeared to many in the au
dience that either the speakar or the
State Superintendent was guilty of
plagiarism, as the th mghu expressed by
both were identical aud in a number of
instances were clothed In practically the
same words, while both used the same
illuslrati -ns. Doctor Scbaeffdr did not
refer to the mooted alliance between
Great Britain and the Unit's! States,
while Mr. Miller gave a number of ex
cellent reasons why Uuete Sara should
steer clear of the British lion. w It so hap
pened, however, that a majority of the
audience bad not beard Doctor Schaetler'a
address, and thoy were therefore greatly
pleased with Mr. Miller's lecture, which
was a very able discussion of an absorb
ing public question. .
Two hundred and thirteen out of a toul
of two buodred aud twenty teachers em
ployed iu ths county answered roll call
Tuesday morning. Superintendent I'ritts
believes that tbe full uu tuber wili be pres
ent to day.
The crowd in at'endance, w hde perbai
not as large aa last year, is entirely too big
to lie entertained iu a room the aizs of the
court room. An hour before the lima set
for meeting yesterday afternoon every
seat and every available inch of standing
room was oeenpieil, w bile hundreds were
unable to gtin aduibwion to the room.
It is probable that the attendance to day
will be the largest in the history ef Som
erset County Teachers' Institutes. t

InteBlioa cf Smafhiag th Jlacbina.
From Tuesday's Philadelphia Press we
take the following:
In.iii-etioi.s are not lacking Ihst there
will shortly be a concerted movement
snioi p the opponents of Senator Quay
looking to his defeat for re election. The
most recent evidence fif this character
was furnished by the pre-oneo iu the
city yesterday of General Kuoutz, the
veteran Seimersel county statesman, who
was elected a member cf tbe Legislature
at the last election aud who has been
prominently mentioned as (he man like
ly to be selected by the anti Qosyiics as
their candidate forr-'peaker of the House.
There baa been no f.rmal agreement
among the anti-machine members of the
Legislature on General Koontz as their
leader, and the questlun is not likely to
be decided far a few days, but the veter
an Republican is looked upon with much
favor for the place.
General Knontr, w hilo here yesterday.
conferred with a number of friends.
When seen by a reHrter, be said : "I
have not discussed the question of going
into a caucus, and have leen mi-q toted
on that point. I have been fighting the
machine for twenty-five years. I entered
the present contest not for the satisfaction

Among other appoii. Intents made by
the President last week we notice the ap
pointment t.f Captain Heury F. Picking
toliei Commodore, the highest rank, we
believe, ever attained by a native ot this
couuty, in either the naval or military
service of the United States. Commodore
Pickiugisa son of the lale William II.
Picking, of this place. He was appoint
ed to the Naval Academy in 1'J by the
la e Colonel John R. E-lie, then a mem
ber of Congress from the Somerset dis
trict. He was graduated three yesrs later
in order that the government might avail
iuelf of the services of the cadets
io the war of the rebellion. Among hia
class-mates were Rear-Admiral Sampson
and Cnptaiu "Jack" Phillip, w hile Rear
Admiral Dewey was a member of the
idass ahead. Tho friendship formed at
the Academy between the four officers
named has continued until this day. Com
modore Picking is in command of the
rewiviug ship Wa'iash, at Boston, but
w il! likely be transferred shortly to some
other posiliuu.
Xrt. Franou M Kimmell Dead.
Word was ree"eived here last week of
the death of Mrs. Phoele Jane Kimmell,
who was well-known to many of our
older readers, a number of whom had
the pleasure of renew lug their actpiaiDt
ance with her last summer, when she
visited at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. J.
Kooser. She was a sister of Mrs. Harriet
Ogle, of this place, and of Hess Forw ard,
Es.j., cf Cincinnati. The following noti -e
of her death is taken from the Chambers
burg Valley Spirit:
Mrs. Phoe be Jane Kimmell, widow of
tho l.ate Judge Francis M. Kimmell, died'
at her home on E.ist Market street at
l!:3u o'clock, a. in., on Wednesday, tho
:i:d day of November, 1s;h, in her 7'!th
yar. The following children survive
her: Dr. Jane K. Garver, Harrisburg ;
Mrs. James Neill, Wheeling, West V.;
Mrs. H. I. Plough and Mrs. Linn Hi.r
baugh, this place. A daughter, Rebee-kah,
w ii'e of Samuel J. Sullivan, of Chicago,
died in IS!), and a sou in infancy mai.y
years ago.
Mrs. Kimmell was bom in Somerset,
Pa, March-il, 123 She was a daughter
of Hon. Chauncey Forward, one ef sev
eral taletited brothers who attained dis
tinetion as lawyers aud statesmen in the
early history of Pennsylvania. Her early
life was passed in Somerset where in lSsl
she was married to Francis M. Kimmell,
then a young lawyer, s-niq afterwards
elected president judge of the P;th judicial
district of Pennsylvania. In -her youth
Mrs. Kimmell bee nne a memler of the
Disedple Church at Somerset. Later,
dur-tig her residence of almost forty
years in Chambersbnrg, she was a com
municant of Trinty Episcopal Church and
t.Kik a deep interest in the welfare and
charitable work of the parish. Her
charity to tbe poor was unassuming but
constant and was doubly exercised be
cause ef her personal interest in all
those to whom her help wss extended.
Her life was a q i iet one and she lived
it in unselfish and unremitting labor for
those she loved. To all who came into
her home she was a delightful compan
ion and with the life of young people she
was iu perfect sympathy. Always fond
of reading, she possessed a mind well
stored with what is best in literature and
to all who knew her she revealed a
charming personality. She was ever pa
tient iu sickness, always calm and coura
geous in time of trouble. From a singu
larly pure and righteous life, crowded
with good deeds to others, she has enter
ed into rest.
No sick bed in this community has
e-alled forth more tender inquiries; no
death in a long time will cause more uni
versal sorrow.
Splendid Entertainment by Home Talent.
The Herald congratulates the ladies
and gentlemen w ho took part in the en
tertainment given at the Opera House,
Thursday night for tbe benefit of the
United Evangelical church. It was de
cidedly the best entertainment through
out, by exclusively liome talent, ever
given in this town. Each number on the
long program was a performance of artis
tic merit, such as is rarely beard in towrs
the size of Somerset.
A stranger iu the large audience, who
enjoys a reputation in the city nl Harris
burg, where he resides, for cutldVe and a
critical knowledge ef b th voejtl and in
strumental m ni t, do t! are-1 th it it was
the finest amateur entertainment be had
ever allanded, regardless of the fact that
th opportunities of the performers have
necessarily been of a decidedly lim
ited character. In his opinion the music
played by tbe Concert Orchestra was of a
superior quality and splendidly rendered.
Perhaps the most notable performance,
at all eveuts tha oue that secured tbe
greatest amount of applause, was the du
et, "My Gal's a Higa Born Lady," by
the Mioses Hatlieaud Ethel Holderbauip,
young daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Jam
B. Holderbaum. In addition to their ex
cellent imitation of the plantation negro,
they weregtwne! in a fashion that re
flected great credit upon their dress mak
er, which we suspect in this case was
their mother.
O.hers whj took pirt in the e.atsrtain
meot were Mrs. M Biesecker, Mrs. J.
C. Lowry, Mrs. G j-irga J. Piatt, Misses
Bertha Shaffer, Maud and Pearl Gustin,
Ruth Ferner. Daisy Vogal, Floy Knep
per, Mary R berts, Helen Fisher, and
Me-srs James Hartzeli, C. F. Uhl, Jr.,
C. W. Walker and W. IL Ruppel.
The accompanisU were Misses Elsie
Snyder, Lulu Shafler aud Stella Burgess.
