Holiday Special Goods Fiftieth Annual Institute Most Successful Brer Held in County. Some Real Weather Prophets. "There is absolutely no confidence to be placed in signs, and long distance weather prognostlcatora, and newapapers publishing forecasts from alleged "prophets" waste their spate and deceive their readers," says the DuBols Express. I Has the editor of the Express never heard of the doings of Br'er Groundhog along about the first of February? Has he so soon forgotten the eminenut services of the venerable Ellas Hartz, the Reading goose-bone prophet, who at the age of 90 years retired last fall to a panoplied corridor in the hall of fame? Does he absolutely Ignore the significance of the present appearance of the "crawler" on the plains of New Jersey, preferring to believe that that well regulated worm is chasing arounJ above ground this time of the year merely for his health? Back to Corry, man! where they know naught of the woodchtick, the angleworm and the goosebone!

The large audience that assembled at the opera house last night were not disappointed in their expectatations of witnessing an excellent performance, "The Brothers Royer" in "Next Door" was the attraction, and it was an attraction worth seeing. The troupe is an all-around good one. The acrobatic features were of the highest order, and evoked surprise and applause.—The Evening News, Williamsport, Pa., November 1, 1904.

The fiftieth annual session of the Teachers' Institute of Jefferson County, was held In the Belvidere Opera House last week. Early on Monday morning the teachers, together with great numbers of laymen, who are Interested In educational maters, began to arrive from all direction each hour adding to the throng. County Superintendent R. B. Teltrlck had prepared a program which has seldom been eqpalled and never excelled at any heretofore held In Brookville. The sessions opened at two p. m., on Monday and was called to order by Prof. Teitrlck, who was followed by Prof. Jerry March, Instructor in music, "Jesus Lover of My Soul," being rendered. Durational exercises were conducted byRev. J. A. MoCamey, pastor of the Brookville M. E. Church. Hon. O. T. Corson, ex-commlssloner of education, of Columbus, Ohio, spoke on "Some Conflicting Demands Made of the Public Schools." He was followed by Dr. S. C. Schmucker, of the Westchester Normal School in "Seeing Things." These two gentlemen are so well-known that it Is hardly necessary to say that their worft in the different sessions of the Institute gave the utmost satisfaction to the large crowds • present. On Monday evening William Hawley Smith held the audience for two hous In his lecture, "We, The People," Mr. Smith certainly stands in the front rank of lecturers. The exercises on Tuesday opened with devotional exercises by Rev. William Hesse, pastor of the Brookville Lutheran Church. The morning program, as carried out included instructions In music by Prof. Jerry March; "Tact in the School Room," by Hon. O. T. orson; "The Aquarium," by Dr. S. C. Schmucker; "The Inauguration in Reading," by Dr. ,T. George Becht, principal of the Clarion State Normal School. The afternoon program Included musical instruction by Prof. March; "The Dog and the Cat"; by Dr. Schmucker; "Work and Play in the School Room" by Hon O. T. Corson. In the evening the large auditorium was packed until standing room was at a premium, the attraction being the Lenor Jackson Concert Company, each member of which is an artist in his or her particular line and it goes without saying that the audience was pleased and demanded numerous encores. Wednesday being Directors' Day, swelled the crowd greatly. The directors of the county wore well-represented, very few remaining away. The institute opened with devotional exercises, by Rev. T. J. Barlett, pastor of the United Evangelical Church, of Brookville, followed by Instructions in Music by Prof. March. "The Story in Nature Work," by Dr. S. Sell mucker; "School Supervision" by Hon N. C. Schaefer; "School and Peoplo of Other Lands," by Hon. O. T. Corson. At the close of the morning session a special meeting of the school directors was held at which questions of school administration wore discussed by Hons. N. C. Hchaefer and O. T. Corson. The afternoon session opened with instructions in music by Prof. March. "The schools as a Factor in Education," by Hon. N. C. Schaefer. On account of fir. Geo. Vincent, of the University of Chicago, Illinois, missing railroad connections, his place was tilled by addrescs and lectures from other instructors present. In the evening a large crowd greeted Dr. Newell Dwlght Ilillis, pastor of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, New York, who delivered his lecture, "The Tragedy of the Ten Talent Men." Dr. Hillis has been here before and many of those who missed his lecture two years ago made sure and procured seats early. Thursday morning's sesion opened with devotional exercises by Dr.. James Conway, pastor of the Brookville resbyterian Church, followed by instructions in music by Prof. March. Dr. Schmucker's place was filled by Dr. Hillis. "Two Schools I Attended,' by Hon O. T.

Corson; "The Social Mind," by Dr. George E. Vincent; "A Family-of Spinners," by Dr. Schmucker. The evening again witnessed a crowded house assembled to hear the John Thomas Concert Company which had several years ago appeared here, leaving a good Impression. Mr. Thomas Is a humorist whose reputation is worldwide. Mrs. Thomas Is one of the best lady violinists now before the public and on this evening appeared at her best. Miss Adelaide Louise Wood, accompanist, is certainly an artist and master of her Instruments. The performance of this company assures them of a good audience should they ever return. The closing day of the Institute, Friday, brought the teachers out In good time and the session was opened by devotional exercises by Rev. J. T. Adams, pastor of the Brookville U. P. Church. Prof. March furnished music after the address of each Instructor, who were as follows: "An Old Nature Lover," by Dr. Schmucker; "Education and Efficiency," by Dr. George E. Vincent; "After the Institute Is Over," by Hon. O. T. Corson. These were followed by reports of committees. The institute adjourned in time to allow those In attendance, who wished to do so, to catch the noon trains. Thus closed the institute which is admitted to have been the most successful ever held here.* The success attained is altogether due to the almost, superhuman efforts of Prof. Teltrick who has worked almost night and day for months past to Miss Monks is studying season with the well-known Pitfaburg instructors, Carlos Minettl, teacher of voice culture, and S. Mongifto Y. Acosta, teacher of piano. Miss. Monks goes to Pittsburg weekly for her lessons. i •|~{« Books, Opera Bags, Hand Painted China, Bric-a-Brac, TV Perfumes, Books, Japanese China, Post XX XX Card Albums, Albums, Papete- $X XX ries, candy, etc. XX XX n n H FOR THE MEN 8 € == S aX XX Military Sets, Brush Sets, Shaving Sets, Razors, Mugs, XX w YV Xi Books, Ink Stands, Novelties, Post Card Albums, Tr Den Pieces, Pocket Books, Bill XX Rolls, Stationery, etc. XX H § AA t? n We could add many more items to this list, hut come XX J5J yourself and see our line.
