In LHH TIIHD TWO Weeks the State Lejfls -latit re Will He a Thing of the Pant-No Prospects of Electing a Senator—Treas ury Lower Than for Thirty Years. Harrisburg, Pa.. April 7, 1899. The session is now rapidly drawing to a close, and revenue and appropriation bills have the right of way. These bills will occupy the attention of the legislature from this -on. During the past week a large number of revenue measures passed the house, and should these succeed in passing the senate, they will provide enough money to meet expenses for the next two years and pay part of tho $3,500.000 deficit. It looks now if adjournment would be made on the 20th as originally intended. Should this occur many bills will fall by the wayside. Tho normal school authorities of the state are making a strenous effort to get their bill through before adjournment. It is to grant them permission to place a mortgage on their properties which shall be prior in lien to all liens of the common wealth for the money appro priated to such schools. The bill is on third reading and gives any normal school the right to place a mortgage not exceeding $50,000. It Is doubtful, how ever. if the bill will pass. The bill authorizing the construction and completion of the state capitol building and appropriating $4,000,000 to do the work was up on final passage in the senate last week, but had to be postponed TO SAVE IT FROM DEFEAT. The light was centered on the con tinuance of the present capitol building commission, as well as the $4,000,000 appropriation. It was also contended that at this time the building of a new capitol could be postponed so that the Institutions which must be supported need not suffer. There is much feeling among tho lawmakers that the building commission has not done its duty as laid down regarding the erection of the new state house. Tho most favorable plan is to delay the completion for a few years until the finances get in bettor shape and get rid of the present com mission. Tho members and senators partici pating in the daily balloting for United States senator derive considerable fun while going through the routine of casting their ballot. The other day one of the members voted for "Penn sylvania's Favorite Son Hon. M. S. Quay," another for "That Brilliant Con gressman and Republican, John Dal zell," and the third for "That United Party Candidate George A. Jenks." •THE SITUATION HAS CHANGED little from what it was at the opening of the session. The independent Re publicans vary the monotomy somewhat by bunching their votes. This iiad no effect on the general result however. The seven months' school term bill lias passed the senate by a large ma jority, but in tho house is where it will encounter hitter opposition. A bill similar to this has been presented to every session for the past ten years, but always defeated. This term, however, the members lighting the measure must give exceptionally good reasons for their opposition. These same members arc also opposed to tho cutting down of the school appropriation, yet their school term lias not been lengthened, nor their teachers better paid since tho appro priation to the schools lias grown to its present tremendous amount. The bill increasing the number of employes around the legislature has passed botli branches of tho legislature and is in the hands of the governor. It will be of interest to know what the executive will do with this measure. It calls for additional DRAIN ON TUB TREASURY and Mr. Stone has repeatedly declared that he will not approve bills of this nature unless additional revenue is pro vided by the legislature. Every session of the legislature, local politicans come here and secure posi tions about tho legislature halls, and then employ substitutes from this city to do the work. In some cases these employes do not come only to draw their salaries. This led Representative Coray, of Luzerne county, to offer a resolution investigating these condi tions. lie stated that lie knew posi tively that one of tho janitors of the committee rooms and several pasters and folders had not performed their work. He could furnish tlieir names, but desired not to at present. The resolution, however, was defeated and tho ward heelers can coutinue to draw pay for which no services wore rendered. At tho end of March the balance on hand in the state treasury was but $516,862.43. This is said to bo THE SMALLEST BALANCE that has been in the state depositaries since the civil war. During the month of June tho state is expected to pay out the school appropriation of $5,500,000, and in the meantime keep up the com monwealth. It is easily seen what FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, APRIL 10, 1899. financial straits the state is in. The investigating committee lias been pushing along its findings, and more startling charges of attempting bribery have been unearthed. • Some witnesses testified that as high as $5,000 was offered for the support of the McCarrell bill. The committee will report its conclusions to the house, then what action the house will take in tho matter remains to he seen. It looks as if tho finding would bo handed over to the district, attorney of this county and several arrests made. Nissley. RATIONAL READING. FontfiP Teacher* Have Another Deinon- Htratlnn of This Method'* NIH-CCKH. Foster township institute was held at Woodside school house Saturday after noon with all except two of the teachers of the township present, also Directors Woodring, Evans, Brior and Lesser. Ttye institute opened with singing, fol lowed by a paper on "Reading in the Upper Grades" by J. J. McGill, which covered the subject thoroughly. The next on the program was a class drill by the pupils of Sandy Run school under Miss Palmer. The pupils went through tiie work as assigned them each day, the teacher first showing them a number of cards on which were letters properly marked and from which the sounds are taught. The pupils then sang, giving the different sounds of the letters, after which thoy took up the list of words placed on the blackboard and each child in turn gave a correct pronounciation of the same. A class under the care of Miss Stew art, also of Siin ly Run, was called and went through their work most credit ably, being along the same line and in the order of the preceding class. Miss Palmer then took the floor and stated that Miss Stewart and herself were laboring under difficulties, inas much as they teach together in the same room and the blackboard space is not large enough for tho lists of words as acquired each day by tho classes. Miss Lulu Schmidt's class from Upper Lehigh school then demonstrated their dexterity in pronounciation by going over the words placed on the board and additional words of four and live svlla ables taken at random from tho diction ary. The class of Miss Celia Gallagher, alsoof Upper Lehigh, then went through their exercises, each pupil pronouncing ! in turn a number of words as written on | the hoard. These two words were written, having been taken from tho dictionary by another teacher, rhododendron and simultaneous. A littlo Hungarian girl was called and gave a correct pronoun ciation. Her brightness led to the ques tion as to whether teachers had any moro trouble with that class ot pupils than with others and the teachers answered negatively. Miss Schmidt stated the average age of her pupils was sevon and one-half years and Miss Gallagher's nine years. Superintendent Gabrio followed with a few remarks. He thinks the rational method a good system and a success, as it permits pupils to acquire a vocabulary, leading them to the dictionary and thence to tho encyclopedia, where all information lies. He also believes it a better method ©f teaching spelling than the old system, as it appeals to the mind through the eye. A paper on "Memory," by Joseph Sarricks, was well prepared, as was also the paper of Harvey Hoffman on "Edu cation." Foxter Director* fleet. Foster school board met on Saturday evening. A discission on the propriety of allowing conventions to ho held in the school buildings took place. It was allowed to go over for action by the new hoard. A bill will be rendered the county commissioners for S2O per build ing, SIBO in all, for the use of the same for the fall aud spring elections, and a resolution was adopted that hereafter a charge of $lO per building will be made for election purposes. Superintendent Gabrio read the min utes of the teachers' institute and re ported the attendance for the month as 927 and the percentage 79. In the evening school the attendance was 128. Chairman Lesser, of the book com mittee, reported having received and distributed the books ordered by the committee. Miss Annie Lindsay gave notice of her intention to stand examination for a permanent certificate. The required form certifying to her ability was order ed to be filled by the officers. The board decided to continue the school term for nine months. The board lias already paid for nine months' schooling, having paid two months' sal aries from last year, and, while they may be a little short of funds, the direc tors considered it would bo an injustice to cut the term. A vote of thanks was tendered Super intendent Gabrio and the teachers who had classes at tho institute for their work on behalf of the pupils and the good effect produced on the other teachers. A. Oswald lias just received a carload of Lehigh county potatoes. They are excellent stock. If in need of any give liiin a call. BRIEF ITEMS.
