The first talk was given by Prof. Ira Woods Howerth, of Chicago Uni versity, on "The Artist Teacher." Booker T. Washington has said: "An education is a conquest not a be quest. There are several view points of education. I shall consider it from the view point of "Education as an art. It is an art, those who practice education are artists. We are all artists to some degree. I shall speak of the artist who Is par ticularly skillful. An Ideal Is of greater value than most people are willing to admit. Tho business man who Is successful has a definite ideal of his business and adapts his efforts to this Ideal. Tho greatest demand of these modern times Is a definite Ideal of our work to encourage our efforts and stimulate our hopes. It Is possible for the artist teacher to leave a monument more wonderful than the sculptor; he can help build beautiful characters. Here are a few things to acquire which will bring you success: A strong physical abil ity, which is the basis of success. An already accumulated amount of knowledge, Is a necessity. Tho ap plication of this knowledge or skill Is the next element of success, and the last without which no artist Is highly successful, a delight in his art. Have a deep abiding love and Interest In your work. If you have not this love or Interest cultivate It. If you don't like your 'Work perform It conscientiously and your dislike will disappear. Love comes from service. If you don't like children serve them faithfully and you will develop a sincere Interest In them and love for them. Dr. C. T. Farlane, Columbia Uni versity, was the second speaker; his subject, "Unity of Geography." One of the things that the artist teacher of Geography wants to know Is Geo graphy.

Just what caused the death of 1 Acting upon information furnish these two brothers, who had been ed tne District Attorney, an Inquest leu in cnurge 01 mu luriu uuruiK the absence of their father, who was in Honesdale, is a profound mystery. According to Fred Hunkele he came to Honesdale Thursday after noon with a load of fish, apples and potatoes. After disposing of most of; his produce In tho usual manner, Mr. Hunkele arranged to stay over night at John Heumann's restaurant. He got up about nine or ten o clock 1 hour being about 4:30 p. m. Sat Frlday morning and started towards j urday.1 The following jury was home Intending to dispose of the .sworn in: Eugeno Dorflinger, John rest of his stuff. When he got about 1 Dorflinger, Nelson Johnson, James one-uau a nine mis siuu ui wane Mills, Tax Collector Thomas Gill met him and told him "that his son Ed ward had been .found dead- In the barn." Hunkelo hastened home, and tried to find Charley. After he saw Edward dead he thought Charley 1 might have killed him, as the broth- ers were fighting all the time. He ' Immediately telegraphed his wife 1 who was visiting relatives In New , Haven, Conn., that their son was dead. County Detectlvo N. B. Spencer was Informed of the tragic events at the Hunkele farm, and In company with a representative of this paper, went to White Mills on the 2:50 p. m. train. i They found, four marks on Ed wards hands, and his hands wero partially closed. It looked as If In his death throes ho had dug his fin ger nails Into his hands. His shirt was open and there was a mark across his breast. These were the only bruises to be seen on tho body. His cap was on his head. Charley, whose body was discov ered on Saturday morning at 11:30 o'clock under the bed, lay with his head down on a pillow. His body was drawn together and It looked as If he had died in awful agony. His face was black as coal. The under taker had difficulty in getting the body into anp.-t of shape. it win oe a uig expense, it win be a big expense," Hunkelo kept repeating over and over again. In talking to the newspaper men, doubt less referring to tho cost of burying the sons, "I haven't done nothing. I oughtn't to be afraid. Its too bad. It's a mystery," continued Hunkele, Sr., in trying to account for the sudden death of bis sons. Dr. Gavltte, when Interviewed, could not account for the way In which the boys had met their death. Ho did not think It .was caused by carbolic acid or strychnine, and so far as he could see there wero no outward signs of poison. Mrs, Addle Gibbs camo down to tho Hunkele farm to do the cleaning after Edward's body had been dis covered at Hunkelo's request. She went up stairs to get a razor for the undertaker in ordsr that ho could shave Edward. As she went by Charley's room, she saw something protruding from tho bed, and ran downstairs screaming, "Charley is under tho bed," and fainted away. Tho Dorflinger auto brought 'Squire Robert A. Smith, and Dis trict Attorney M. E. Simons to tho scene of tho tragedy about four o'clock Saturday aftornoon. A hearing was held and the fol lowing facts wero brought out: Peter J, Smith, tax collector of Hawley, was tho first one to discover tho body of Edward. Ho camo to tho Hunkele farm. Friday1 morning, and tried In vain to secure admit tance to tho house. Ho then w.ent to the barn, which he found closed. Looking through an opening In the sldo ho saw Edward flat on his back, apparently asleep. Upon ef fecting an ontranco Mr. Smith found tho body was stark and stiff, with traces of blood on tho Hps and loft hand. Constnblo Anthony W. Schlosser, Palmyra township, was at onco ap prised of tho gruesome discovery. In company with Justice of the Peaco Thomas Gill and Lewis Bell man and Charles Fives, a thorough search of the premises was made In the hopo of finding tho other broth- Suspicious ers- er, Charley. W. B. Ammerman, Hawley, was sent for to conduct an innuest . Mr. Animnrinnn. who Is an undertaker, also prepared the body for burial. Dr. E. B. Gavltte, White Mills, examined the body, but could find nothing to show Edward came to his end by violence. When the body of tno othor broth er, Charley, was found Saturday morning about eleven o'clock, Con stable Schlosser placed the father, was held. Justice of the Peace R. A. Smith, Honesdale, acting as coro ner, no one having been appointed to that office to succeed the late Dr. Harry B. Searles, Honesdale.

Simons, assisted by County ! Detectlvo Spencer. Tho witnesses were: F J. Hunkele, Mrs. Addle Gibbs, Constable Schlosser, Morris Evans, W. B. Ammerman and Dr. E. B. Gavltte. Mr. Hunkelo who has lived on the farm In Palmyra township for twelve years, testified as follows: Hunkelo's Testimony. I left home about 1:30 Thursday for Honesdale and did not get homo I until Friday afternoon. I did not; know anything about my son's aeatli until Thomas Gill told me there had been some bad actions at my home, that my son, Edward, had been found dead In tho barn. I telephoned to Mr. Ammerman, Hawley, and tele graphed for my wife to come home. Charles could be found nowhere and I thought he had ran away and was probably In the woods. Before go ing to Honesdale, Thursday, we had dinner together and my sons seem - ed as healthy then as they had at any time. I told them to dig up tho turnips and place them in the barn. They did their work all right. I went to bed about 11 o'clock Friday night and left the side door unlocked so 'Charles conld get In If he came home. I was afraid of Charles. I never whipped him but would often scold him. Ho had threatened me and some times has thrown axes at me In the woodB. About eight years ago he hit me In the neck with a club which hurts yet. I looked for Charles, blew the horn, but he didn't come. There were seven who helped look for Chas. Friday night. A few wero William Smith, Peter Mauer, Morris Evans and W. J. Smith. Looked through the house from cellar to garret and went to tho hay mow In the barn In search of him. Thursday afternoon I ped dled fish In Honesdale to McArdlo's, Heumann's nnd O'Connell's; sold some apples to Mrs. Demor. Stay ed with Mr. Houmann Thursday night. Friday night I stayed in tho house all alone and did not hear Charles ocmo In. Didn't sleep very good; was thinking over some matters qulto awhile. Thought Charles would freezo to death If ho was In tho woods as ho had only ono shoe on. Tho other shoo, a new one, with his stocking was In his bedroom on tho floor. He would often tako off his shoes in tho winter tltno and cross tho brook for spring water. Ho didn't know any better. I novor chastised him. Can't remember If I ever hit Charles with a hoo. Had a quarrel about six days ago with the boys about pulling turnips. I wanted them to pull tho big ones and they pulled all, little and big. I didn't punish them for It. A short tlmo ago after they had dug tho po tatoes Edward and Charles wont away and Edward was gono a half day and Charles a day and a half. They slept in a barn and they loft all tho potatoes out and they woro frozen, I scolded them and they told mo to go to H My wife, who Is away, didn't object much to have tho boys around. I wanted to got rid of Charles as ho was acting crazy nt times. I wanted to get him In an asylum and spoko to Mr. GUI about It. I wanted to put him in tho poor houso, ho was flghtng most of the tlmo and called his brother bad names. "Which ono did you think tho most of," tho District Attorney asked. "Both were all right to me. I think Edward wns the best, for I could send him on errands. The other had no brains." When 1 left for Honcsdalo I told Edward to go to Mr. Smith's and get a soup bone. I left some pork chops and fish for them. Boys Ate US Bushels of Potatoes. They had enough to cat and I novor found fault with them. They lived here all alone last winter and they ato 38 bushels of potatoes. I had a store In Honesdale but came down once a week to see them. One time I brought down 25 pounds of cornbeef and two days afterward the meat was gone. Charles has threatened Edward with an axe and ho was afraid of him. Edward never talked about killing hmself. The boys wero not tired of living. They wero boss here. Have had no poison In the house since three years ago, when my wife bought some rat poison. The boys wouldn't take poison. Why should they? Mrs. Gibbs on tho Stand. Mrs. Addle Gibbs took the stand and said: I am no relation of Mr. Fred Ilunkelc. I came down the towpath Friday. First came to tho house on Friday afternoon about 1:30, as Mr. Hunkele asked me to come down and do the housework while he was away. When I got through sweeping the house I clean ed up and went home. I returned Saturday morning about 8 o'clock and have been here ever since. I went to Charles' bedroom door, Tif rt w no ntinn nrwl on r e nm li I r er under the Ded ' j dont know wnr It was. I don't know how I got down stairs. When I first came here there were three glasses, a syrup cup, sau cer and pepper dish on the table. There was nothing on the Btovo. Constable Schlosser sworn. When t caw RdwnrH Hnnkoln In hU In banda were crosseu and hla Bn,'rt was opened. Blood was on his hand. This was at 10:30 Friday morning. Then made search for tho other I brother. Searched house from cel- lar to garret, went In every room that ! had a door. Looked under the bed and he was not there. The bed j quilt that was on the floor this morning was folded up and on the l bed Friday night. There was no body there then. Morris Evnns Testifies. Morris Evans testified as follows: I Came here about 7 o'clock Friday night and stayed until 11:30. Mr Hunkele was here all the time but he did not enter Into the search. We looked through the house, back of the house and In the barn. Peter Mauer and W. J. Smith helped In the search. Mr. Mauer asked Mr. Hunk' ele If he were not afraid to stay alono all night in the house, to which he replied he supposed ho had to , stay that he couldn't help himself. W. B. Ammerman sworn: I live in Hawley and am a justice and also an undertaker. I came up here to hold an Inquest over the body of Ed ward Hunkele. Found the remains In the barn. He was lying on his back In a natural position. Con stable Schlosser and myself examln ed the body, but found no marks of any kind, except a few scratches up on his left hand. After the examina tion we brought the remains to the house. I camo up again Saturday morning to prepare the body for burial and while here Mrs. Gibbs camo down stairs screaming that Charlie was dead under tho bed Mr. Austin came down tho same time and also said Charles was dead Thero was no trouble to see tho body as I entered tho room. Tho head ap peared to be burled In tho pillow and his hands were drawn up to his face. Rigor mortis had set In. Poison n Possibility. Dr. E. B. Gavltte, White Mills, tes tilled as follows: Have been n prac tlsing physician since 1897. Ex nmlned the bodies of Edward and Charles Hunkele but discovered no ovldence of tho cause of death From tho condition of tho bodies death probably resulted from some form of poisoning. Thero was no outsldo cnuso to determine. It Is necessary to hold an autopsy or post mortem examination to ascertain tho causo of death. Autopsy Held Saturday. On Sunday Dr. Arthur J. Wilson, State Hospital pathologist, of Scran ton, assisted by Dr. F. W. Fox, of tho same city, and Dr. E. B. Gavltte, of White Mills, conducted a post mor tem. District Attorney Simons and County Detectlvo Spencor were also present. Tho vital organB of both men wore removed and taken to Scranton. Tho rosult of death will not bo determined until Tuesday, when It Is expected tho examination will havo been completed. A Familiar Figure. Hunkelo Is a familiar figure In Honesdale. It was a very common occurrence for him to appear on the streets around four o'clock In tho morning and awaken people by shouting "Fresh meat. Hunkolo's here. Everybody get up!" No report of tho result of tho au topsy is obtainable at tho tlmo tho C1TJZEN Is going o press. Three days at least are required, In New York city oven, until a definite analy sis of tho vital organs can be mado nnd verified. In the meantime Hunkele, Sr., Is held In $500 ball, awaiting further developments. A startling rumor was circulated In Honesdalo Tuesday morning that Hunkele, Sr., had committed suicide. The CITIZEN however was Informed at 11 a. m. that such was not tho case, Mr. Hunkele, having been seen early In tho morning In White Mills driving a load of coal. Some sen sational developments are promised In the ense, and authentic Inside In formation from reliable sources is at hand which dare not be published until the proper time arrives. Did tho brothers Hunkele die of ptomaine poisoning? This theory of the sudden death of the Hunkelo brothers Is being advanced. It Is known that they ate a good deal of canned goods at the Hunkele home stead. Hunkele, Sr., himself is said to have remarked that "this boy (moaning Edward) will have to bo cut open to find out what is the mat ter with him." ARGUMENT COURT.
