BLAISG'N FRIODB FULL OF HOPE. Confident That lie Will Accept the Presi(l«Btial Nomination. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.—A number of Secretary Blaine's personal friends from Maine anil elsewhere, among them Representative Milligan, who have called upon him at his resi dence within the la*t day or two, are in excellent spirits on account of Mr. Blaine's continued improve ment in health. Mr. Milligan re marked that Mr. Blaine had not been in better health for eight years, that he had spent about an hour with him, and never saw him mani fest more interest in public affairs and politics. He conversed quite freely upon general topics, and ask ed man}' questions. Neither mentioned the subject of Presidency, but Mr. Milligan came away fully impressed with the idea that if Mr. Blpine is in good condi tion on the first day of June as he is at present lie will not antagonize the expi-ession of the will of the people by the convention at Min neapolis. The masterly manner in which Mr. Blaine has conducted all the international questions, includ ing the Italian controversy, and now the amicable solution of the Chilean complications, which through the shrewd diplomatic skill of the Secre tary has been transferred from the Chilean to the American capital, in the opinion of the Secretary's friends has added fresh laurels to his long line of brilliant achievements. IX MR. BLAISE'S FAVOR. "These," said Mr. Milligan, "added to the reciprocity negotia tions which have already been con summated and are being extended, will still further strengthen his claims to popular recognition." It is conceded by even the Demo crats that the balance sheet of the year is largely in his favor. So far a 9 Mr. Blaine's family are concerned, his friends say that the adverse in fluence which has heretofore been exerted from that direction has, in a great measure, been withdrawn, and that they will not interpose any ob jection to his candidacy. A great many of the Secretary's friends here and in New England are great ly disappointed at his determina tion not to attend the Boston meet, ing, where it was expected that there would be some utterances from him on several important questions. Some of the Secretary's friends and members of the family very much doubted the propriety of his attend ance at that meeting, as his utter ances might either not come up to their expectations or might be mis construed. They would certainly have been disappointed in one re spect at least. It would not have alluded in the remotest degree to the topic in 'which the people are most interested. He would have confined himself en tirely to the dominant subjects which are absorbing his at'ention at this time, chiefly the building up and extension of the commerce of the United States, not only to South American countries, but all the maritime nations of the world. BLAINE AND THE CHILEANS. It is regarded in official circles a 9 somewhat remarkable to observe the suddenness with which the Chilean excitement has subsided. The sensational statement published here that Secretary Blaine alone was the restraining influence against hostile movements has been fully exploded. The Secretary made no moves without the full co-operation of the President and members of the cabinet. When he attended the Chilean Minister's dinner he had al ready succeeded in transferring the settlement of the pending difficulties from Santiago to Washington. Ilis attendance, therefore, was simply to ratify the restoration of good under standing between the two govern ments. There are many meddle some people wno are greatly disap. pointed at the friendly turn in the tide of affairs Minister Esran's calling will now be reduced to a very limited circle of activity, confined principally to the protection and maintenance of the Balmacedan refugees who have taken shelter in his Legation- It is now apparent from what has been learned here that his usefulness in his present sphere has greatly di minished. Tue probabilities are that as soon as matters have been amicably adjusted, his return to the United States will not be long de layed. Annual Teacher's Institute. The annual Institute of the teach ers' of Sullivan, for 1891, was held at Dushore, commencing Monday Dec. 28, and closing Friday Jan. Ist 1892. The Institute organized by electing Prof. J. 11. Thayer, of Ber nice, secretary and Miss Annie E. Ettinger of LaPorte, enrollment clerk. The regular corps of in structors were: Prof. Chas. H. Verrill, Little Falls, N. Y., Prof. E. L. Kemp, Meyers town, Pa., and Prof. B. W. Peck, Sup't. of Fulton county. The Institute was also ad dressed by Co. Sup't. Black and Prof. Quinlan of To wanda. Prof. Verrill spoke of: The schools of to-day as compared with the schools of twenty j'ears ago; How to teach primary arithmetic; Success in the school room and what leads to success ; The teacher and his class i Essentials in advanced arithmetic; Criticisms. Prof. Kemp spoke ofi Primary history and how to teach it; Atten tion and how it can be secured; The social phase of history and its importance; Memory and how it should be cultivated; Language lessons. Prof. Peck spoke of: Important things about teaching; Language lessons; Primary reading ; Primary geography; Interesting exercises in numbers. The points prominently brought out by each instructor were to awaken thought, in the ininds of the children and then drill them so they can express their thoughts with case and clearness. The moral tone of the instruc tions given to the teachers was very high and no doubt will result in much good to the pupile in the various schoole throughout the county. ■ * The attendance of teachers and citizens was large; larger than at any previous institute. The even ing lectures were well attended. Prof. Yerrill lectured Tuesday even ing on "Leaders and the Lead," Prof. Kemp Wednesday eveninsr on "Books and Readers" and Hon. Thos. M. Taylor of New York city, Thursday evening on "Cranks." Resolutions were adopted thank ing Co. Sup't. Black, the inductors and the people of Dushore and vicinity, respectively for their un tiling efforts in making the Institute so successful; and recommending Co. Sup't. Black to consult with board of managers of the agricultural society, of Sullivan county, with a view to make arrangements for the establishment of a department at our Annual Fairs, to be known as Public School Exhibits. This resolution was heartily endorsed by the teachers, as it will awaken a greater interest in the work doce in our public schools. There are S3 teachers in the coun ty.

ELKI.AND TWr- I. D. Haverley, 25, ADDITIONAL LOCAL. O. W. Grim of Williamsport, is visiting friends at LaPorte. Robert Ta3'lor, perhaps the oldest resident of Davidson township, died of old age, on Thursday Dec. 24. Our afnbitious young men and lady readers should address the Lowell Business College, of Bing hamton, and learn how good posi tions may be secured. There is now a lull after the holi day rush of trade. Taking account of stock, making out and presenting bills and balancing books will occupy the time of business men during the forthcoming two or three weeks. The County Commissioners ap pointed C. Peale, jr., of the 'Mere assessor of Shrewsbury twp., on Wednesday to fill the vacancy of said office caused by the death of G. W. Bennett. Some of our Chicago friends, wc don't know who, however, will please accept our thanks for a copy of the Chicago Herald , containing a cut of the "World's Exposition," giviDg number of acres required for each building. It surely is a very in teresting picture to peruse. Grover Cleveland has announced that he will not accept of the Demo cratic nomination for the Presidency unless he is the unanimous choice of his party. This from Grover is pretty evident that he has but little hopes of success in the Democratic ranks this fall. The Ex- President, is long sighted. The following persons were ap pointed by the Court at Dec. T. to appraise the damage to individuals by the right of way of the narrow guaged railroad from Sonestown to Eagles Mere, viz : Geo. C. Wright, P. Chaffee, A. L. Smith, Clias. Kis ner, Adam Znner, James Thomson and James McMnhan. The apprais ers attended to the duty of their appointment, 011 Wednesday. (■rami Juror* Draw■■ Tor Feb.

School EutertuiiimeMt. In 3pite of the inclement weather and ankle deep mud the attendance at the Public School Entertainment held in the high school room, on Christmas eve, was large, and every thing was a grand success. The ex ercises commenced at 8 o'clock with music by the LaPorte band, which was highly appreciated by tlie au dience. Then followed, in quick succession, the various exercises prepared by the pupils of the Public Schools. The exercises consisted of songs, concert recitations, dia logues, declamations, orations, com positions, by the pupils of the high school and calisthenic drills, gym nastics, concert recitations, dia logues, by the pupils of the primary grade. Besides these were many amusing and appropriate tableaus. The costumes employed in the various parts were immense, and were no small part of the entertain ment. The success of the enter, tainment is due, in no small degree to the assitance rendered to the teachers' by the older students in carrying out the programe on time. No adverse criticisms were heard from any one present, bat all are unanimous in saying that the enter tainment was one of the best, if net the best ever held in LaPorte. The proceeds realized from the enter tainment was about $25,00 which was devoted to paying expenses of building and furnishing a stage in the high school room. The stage is a permanent fixture, and a beauty, and a credit to its builder, Mr. T. J. Heeler. The roolcr curtain and side wings are very fine, but a Very striking feature of the stage are the footlights, which were kindly made and placed there by Mr. McFarJane, president of the school board. They are made out of the gas pipe, bent to the shape of the stage, with seven burners fastened to the front of the stage by iron braces. * AUDITORS NOTICS.
