It looked for awhile yesterday as if
all the vacant rooms ia town would be
taken and some would have to La vacated
for the use of the various unci several
branches of the teachers' meeting now
in session in Topek . The t .vo bi:,' as
sembly rooms of the atatehotiie aridmDst
of the high school were crowded full
with people whose business and delisrht
it is to educate the youthful notion in
the art of germinating' and advancing.
At the meeting of the "Cclieires and
Hiffh. Schools" division at the assembly
room of the new hiirii school building at
two o'clock, i'rof. L. I. Vhittemore of
Washburn college spoke on ' How to Get
the Best Results from the IVe of a Li
brary." There was then an informal
discussion of the subject by Miss Carrie
Watson of Lawrence, and M 11. Wood of
Baker university. The subject of "Home
made Apparatus for the Laboratory'' was
handled by I'rof. 11. Ayers of the To
peka high school. Mr. Ayor ha 1 an
idea that the schools should make their
own apparatus, and that the school would
become doubly familiar with it in so do
ing. There was no om preseat to de
fend the apparatus industry, and Mr.
Avers' idea won the day, although Mr.
L. L. HaDks of ivauss City, enieavored
to have a little fun ty opposing it. He
was tinally compelled to acknowledge
that the idea w as all right. A B. Car
ney of Concordia was also all right on the
subject.
1 he county superittendents held their
meeting in the senate chamber and it
was crowded. There were about tlfty
of the new superintendents and a large
number of the old ones, to say nothing of
the multitude that would like to be. The
roll call was conducted iu an interesting
manner. As each answered to his name
he arose and said a few lines, either a
quotation or somethii.g about tho work.
D. F. Shirk, who doesn't very often. told
hia notio.i of the "Ideal Kansas County
Superintendent" and put him o:i such a
high plane of civilization and good na
ture that a good many aspiring ones be
came uneasy and concluded they
wouldn't accept the nomination.
Oscar Luugenecker, of l'aola, and
others discussed the subject with tiie ob
ject of getting the ideal within the reach
of ail.
Miss Catherine Harkness, of . ess City,
was not there, but her paper, "Methods
of Securing I'rompt and Accurate Re
ports From District Oilicers," was dis
cussed bv K. L. Glasgow, of Belleville;
L. It Beneliel. of St. John; J. W. Arm
strong, of Salina, and others. It was uni
versally decided mentally, if notoutlouJ,
that the surest wav was with a club.
The "D. strict "Ownership of Te it
Books" was then discussed. This was
not necessarily a Populist idea, but it was
considered a good one, with certain re
strictions, and C. C. Carter, of Ainu;
Frank II. Baker, of Norton: H. H.Jones,
of lola, and others liked it.
The kindergarten division which met
at the high scaool came near sp reading
over the buila.ng Four different rooms
wese used and each was crowded, so
I much so that parts of the rojramme
j had to be eliminated. Misses Daisy
Ferguson and Dove Mitchell f Lmporia
j talked on language. The most mter
j esting feature of the session was given
S by some of the little pupiis of Miss
' Madge Moore, of the Kuelid school.
I Topeka. It was a flag drid aud the
j white represented purity and
tho blood that had been shel
; liberty. The children refuse i,
had been taught, to salute trie
j flag. "It is not our mother .1a
j said with happy, patriotic s:m
; there was loud uprdause from t
the red
for our

r." they
.m, an 1
Jie ,;;iec-
j tators.
Another feature of the meeti ig was the
j cla-3 of nine in rea -ing by Miss Anna
j Montieth of the Clay scho :, l opeit.i.
j There were also papers on read. ng, spell
ing, and numbers by .Miss Marv Chan
cellor of l'aola. Miss Abi ie Knaus of
Lyons. MissLi.zie Ryan of I.ea t n worth,
.viiss Delia rspauiding of ichita. Mrs.
S. C. Hoxie of Lowman Hill school gave
a class drill iu numbers with ten of her
p)upils.
The teachers of the district and graded
nchool section held a nice mo-ting ia
Representative hall and talked about a
good many things including art. educa
tion and teaching lov? for the beautiful.
The feature of the meeting was the pa
per on "Educational Progress Among the
Colored People," by Blanch K. Bruce of
Leavenworth. Mr. Bruco called to mind
several notable example of greatness in
his race but very modeslty rtfrained
from mentioning him-eli'.
Tho "round table," which met in the
high school building, listened to a pleas
ing address by Judge Andrew S. b'ra
fier, president of the Illinois st ite uni
versity. I'rof. Draper told about -Ilo.v
to Make the Best Schools in the Largest
Cities" Mr. Draper said: "This great
danger menaces the city school -ystem;
it often happens that the well-to-do pieo
f)le become dissatisfied with the uublio
schools and send the.r children to pri
vate schools. The public schools should
certainly be qualified o take all classes.
There is a great deal more involved iu
the business management cf a public
school system than i- generadv be
lieved. Is'ever was there more depending
ou the character of the teaching force
than at the present time. . j person
should be permitted to teach who has not
taken a high school course of four years,
followed by one or two yejrs of profess
ional training, an i then proving iJapta
tion to the work. Teaching is a science,
and good teaching is brought abouz
just as good engineering is obtained.
Good teacaersare poorly paid in all parts
ot tne country, but poor tt-acaers are web
jvaid at any price. The superintendent
must know all about tne work of every
teacher under his supervision. Personal
contact adds enthusiasm aud entL usiasn;
is necessary for the accoinpdUhment of
the best work."
Several of the discussions were post
poned on account of this ad Iress, but
there is another meeting of the round
table this afternoon at which J. G. s-cho-rield
of Seneca, w ill lead a discussion on
"Algebra aud Geometry Below trie High
School," and Superinten lent Glotfeker
of Atchison, w ill tell "1 low a Cor; s of
Teachers May be Kej)t Abreast of Edu
cational Progress."
The handsome nw assembly hall of
the high school building was packed by
at least a thousand people last night to
OQ
The musical part of the programme
w a s t a k en care of by the Butler County
Normal quartette which sang pretty,
well.
Professor Draper is a good looker and
a handsome dresser and when he ad
vanced to the front of the
pilatform attired iu full even
ing costume, he was greeted with ap
rtilause from the men and looks of admir
ation from the women.
Mr. Draper very littingly started in by
saying a quantity of nice things about
Kansas, Topeka, the school system of the
state and the teachers who brought him
here.
"The spirit of the teacher makes the
spirit of the school," said he. "The suc
cessful life requires spirit and attention
to duty, and it is the duty of
the school teacher to instil that
into the budding minds of her
pupils. A train iaa once neglected
his duty and wrecked a train, killing
several people. He was not lit to be
called man. He had no spirit and no
sense of honor. Another train man the
next day went beyond his duty, exposed
himself to great danger and saved his
train. He had spirit an I honor. That
is the sort of sp irit and honor w e want in
our public schools.
"The child is in the hands of tho
teacher for its life training. The teacher
should be careful of her methods
and be sure she has not dys
pepsia and takes it for pjrin
cipile. I know the tendency to
favoritism is natural, but injustice may
result if it is indulged in. The child is
seusitive. Be kiud. It is right and
justice. The child has a right to it and
he knows it. We are to help the child
to useful manhood and womanhood.
Kindness will unlock his heart. Kind
ness iu the school room means courtesy
to the public The circumstances are
sometimes aggravating, but there is but
the one course and it is unfailing.
"The teacher is there to smooth out
the troubles for the parents and for the
child. She must do it because it is the
right thing to do and because it is in her
heart to do it.
"Do not pretend to know something
you do not know. Do not be affected.
The child will llnd it out sooner or later
and you can no longer command his re
spect. If you have made a mistake, ac
knowledge it gracefully, even though it
bo a ten year old boy that corrects you.
You will rise in his estimation as having
something in common with him and it
will tighten the tie between you.
"A teacher once told Aiartha that she
must talk to her schoolmate Mary and
see if she could not induce her to do bet
ter. She then made the mistake of tell
ing Mary the same thing about Martha.
She did not look far enough ahead to see
that Mary and Martha would certainly
get together in a conference to which
they would not invite her. The decep
tion was discovered, and the teacher is
cordially disliked by both Mary and
Martha for her double dealing.
"Let the spirit of the school copy the
spirit of the well regulated home. Treat
all as nearly alike as possible, except to
help the weakest most because he needs
it. In the old plan, school was a place of
detention and the embodiment oi force.
In the new p lan the school is a work
shop. Let good cheer till the school
room and be forgiving and gentle. The
boy who breaks most makes most.
"The teacher who does not encourage
physical culture- and athletics in
tho school should be put on
the suelf without a label.
She should be pmt on the retired list
without a pension for he or she is a Miss
or Mr. Husk from Huskville.
"The mind of the teacher must be in
thorough touch w th the mirld of each in
dividual piupil. Encourage him to try.
He who never makes mistakes never ac
co m 1 1 1 i s ti es anything.
'Teach patriotism and be patriotic
yourself. Know the proud story of the
nation's life and tell if.
"The
puiblic schools are tiie people's
seuouia. Let this be known and teach
patriotism and this government, and its
public school system will stand as long
as the wond shall last."
Dr. Mclntyro of Denver, who was to
have lectured at the same pilace tonight,
will not be abi'.- to come, and Dr. Charles
Caton ot Chicago will take his place.
The following nominations for officers
of the association were confirmed at the
meeting last evening:
President John Dietrich, superintend
ent of the city schools at Emporia; vice
president Addison Ludlum, superinten
dent of the Mcl'hersoo public schools;
secretary, Miss Etta Cross, county super
intendent of Osborne county; treasurer,
E. E. Trower, county superintendent of
' Leavenworth county; executive commit
; tee, Uiss Mamie Anderson, superinten
! dent of Johnson county; Otto Focht,
I principal of the Pitssburg high school;
G. VV. Hendriek, superintendent of the
Junction City public schools.
Legislative hall was pjacked again at
the meeting of the Kansas educators tiiis
morning. It was as interesting as usual.
Vice President George . Jones of
Mound City piresided at the meeting.
Prof. Olin Templin of Lawrence read
a paper entitled "Unworthy Incentives
to .-scholarship and Right Conduct."
i'rof. Temphn saw. at least three
reasons for desiring education that were
not considered quite as high in his opjin
ion a a motive should be. Ho had a
very high ideal and thought education
should be loved for itself alone. The
three incentives he named as undesira
ble were pecuniary, mathematical and
exhibitional. A man should not desire
education simply lor money making piur
poses: neither should he receive educa
tion simply because it was tne custom or
the law. Neither again for pmrposes of
social exhibition. Su pierintoudent t'owiek
of Wamego had about the same ideas ou
the subject.
Guy P. Benton, of Fort Scott, read a
very sarcastic paper on "The American
Inclination to iN ovelty as Manifested in
the Teaching Profession." He had an
idea that teachers did too much Hitting
from one ilea to another. (Jet a good
method and stick to it, says Air. Benton.
Judge Draper thought it was a good idea,
but liked progress.
The report of the committee on necrol
ogy reported deaths of four persons in
terested actively In education Mrs.
Marion DeLap, of Emporia; Mrs.
A. D. Matson, of Topeka;
James Houerhman, of Manhat
tan, and Miss Emilie Kuhlman of Eai
pioria. On the suggestion of President
Taylor the big audience arose and stood
silently with heads bowed for a minute
as a mark of respect and reverence for
the departed ones.
The meetings of the different divisions
this afternoon will close the session of
the Kansas teachers for this vear.
Good work done by the Peerless

Gov. Morrill Wants the Hutchinson
Reformatory Pmished
AND Y0U:IG . KEN SENT THERE
Instead of t!Hinle ttU Hardened
t'riminals at LaiiMiosr-
It i3 expected that the legislature this
winter will do something towards putting
into effect in Kansas some practical
prison reform.
Governor-elect Morrill yesterday re
ceived a visit from Mr. II. T. Hatch, an
Arkansas City banker who is interested
in prison reform and who was for eight
years warden of the Michigan peniten
tiary. Mr. Hatch urged upon the governor
the necessity of this kind of legislation
and proptiosed thatthe Hutchinson reform
atory should be made ready for occupancy
and about loJ boys and young men be
transferred to it from the penitentiary at
Lansing, where they are now confined
with old and hardened criminals.
Governor Morrill expressed himself as
much in favor of doing something along
that line, but said an architect who had
looked over the buildings at Hutchinson
said it would take at least $ 10O.0UJ to
complete them ready for occupancy.
.Mr. Hatch had been over the ground
and he told Cue governor that tne onlv
thing needed to make the Hutchinson
building ready for occupiancy is a heat
ing apparatus.
There are in the buildings 100 cells
already completed, aud all that is neces
sary, iu Mr. Hatch's opinion, is facilities
for heating and the buildings can.be
occupued at once.
The Hutchinson people are anxious
for us large au appropriation as possible
and urge the necessity of building a wall
all around the buildings before tney are
occupied, but the prison reform peopile
who have been to see Governor-elect
Morrill represented to him that a wall
is unnecessary if the propier man is
placed at the head of the reformatory,
and say that if the convicts can be
locked in their cells at night none of
them, will get away.

There is said to be a new complication
in the tight for the Republican caucus
nomination for speaker of the house.
Wnen Major J. B. Remington, of Osa
watomie was here a few days ago he said
he would like to be speaker; that is he
had an ambition along that line and
would be a candidate if he thought the
chances favorable. He did not announce
himself at that time but he has since
written letters to several members of the
Douglass house who will be back this
session asking their supiport.
The gossip) is that Major Retniugton
and S. Sr. Benedict have entered into a
combination to break the strength of C
E. Lobdell. who is conceded to be the
strongest man in the right.
Major Remington has not yet arrived
and of course the truth of the story can
not be learned until he is heard from.
When Major Remington was here he
told one ol his most intimate political
friends that he would like to be speaker,
but he would under certain circumstance
be satistied with his old position as chair
man of the committee on ways and
means.

The Topeka Populists who left last
night to attend the St. Louis conference
are considerably exercised over the an
nouncement that W. 11. Bennington, Cy
Corning. Asa liunn and J. W. Yarroli in
tend 'o attend the conference They are
the Populists who fought the Populist
state aduiiu ist ration in the recent cam
piaign. "They need not think they will get into
the convention,'' said Commissioner or
Elections Herald. "I have found out
that they were paid by the Republican
state central committee at the rate of SfUO
pjer mouth each for three months and not
a single one of them voted the Populist
ticket. It would be funny if they were
given a place in a Popiulist conference.
If they attempt to pjarticipate I am in
favor of throwing them out of the hall
and I believe it will be done."

Chicago, Dec. i;S. Mrs. Johanna Rior
dan, of No. Go Twenty-Ninth Place, died
at her home last night. Reports among
the neighbors say that starvation had
caused the death. She occupied two
tireless and cheerless rooms in the rear
of a brick building, and sul'ered greatly
from col 1 and hunger before death re
leased her.
A visiting member of a charitable so
ciety, upon visiting the apartments of
Mrs. Riordan. found her dead, while the
old lady's sUter sat weeping beside the
bed.
When seen at hor hume Mrs. Riordan's
sister presented a pitiable appearance,
he is very aged and feeble and sut
crouched beside a tireless stove, her
spare form covered by a shawl. Food
had been brought to her by the members
of the St. Vincent de Paul society, but
the little stock of fuel provided by the
same concern had already given out aud
the oil lady shivered perceptibly as she
told of her sister's sad death.
In one corner of the room stood the
plain cotfin in which the dead body lay,
clad ia the same poor clothing which had
covered the aged form at the time she
expjired.

Uerj4 Known in tiansag.
A dispiacth from Raleigh, N. C, tells
of the death of James H. Yarborough,
who was found dead in his bed in a hotel
at that place on Christmas day. He had
been drinking heavily aud physicians
who made an examination, said his death
was duo to suffocation.
Yarborough is the man who seven years
ago was sentenced to the Kansas peni
tentiary for liie for the murder of a
young man named Collier at Emporia.
'iue murder was one of the most start
ling ever committed in Kansas. Collier
ana Yarborougn were both employed in
the Santa Fe oilices at liuipurm, and they
had quarreled over some tritliug matter.
Yarborough while druuK went to a house
where Coilier was making a call, and
when Collier appeared at the door he
shot him. Collier fell inside the door
and diea immediately.
Shortly aLer Yarborough was sen
tenced to the penitentiary ne made an
attempt to kill himself by cutting hid
throat but his lite was saved. Voting
Collier was a son of Robert Laird Codger
of New York, aud Yarborougu's rela
lives were prominent people iu North
Carolina.
Last August Y'arborough secured a
pardon. 1 no petition tor his pardon
wnich was pireseuled to Governor Levvell
1111' was signed by many of the jiromi
ne.; people m Norm Carolina.
hu Chief Clerk Holcomb of the la
bor bureau, was hospital steward at
the penitentiary Yaioorough was his
cleric and wnen Yarborough was
released he came to Topjeka
aud stayed with Holcomb sever
al days waiting for the release from the
penitentiary ot a lrieud named Williams.
hen W illiams was released the two
ex-couvuts started for their eastern
homes. This was the last heard of Yar
borough until the uews of his death
reached Topjeka today.
Ho Was tVo Rpoojje.
During the residence In New Orleans ol
Bishopi John I'. Newman of tho Methodist
Episcopal church he was known in that
city as a free and generous giver of chari
ty. When the late war was at its height,
the bishop was constantly importuned fol
aid and as constantly gave it where the
request was worth attention.
One day in the latter part of 1S63 the
bishop was busy on a sermon -when he re
ceived a request to visit the bedside of a
man far out iu tho suburbs of the city.
The name was new to him. Ho was verj
busy and asked to be excused." But no
refusal would be taken, and the bishop
entered his carriage and drove to the man '
house.
He had expiected to Cud his petitionei
in the last stages cf disease, but to his
surprise the man apipeared in excellent
health. The bishop then asked him if he
desired spiritual counsel.
"No, Hit-hop Newman, " the man proud
ly replied, "I don't want any of your ad
vice. I'm a hard shell Baptist, and I'm
