Hayne-Webster Contest Recounted to the Lehigh Teachers. THE FINE ART OF CONVERSATION Dr. Ellis Arrives and Tells Teachers of Horace Mann Dr. Houck Advises Teachers to Insist on Use of English by Children. Yesterday afternoon's session of the Teachers' Institute opened with music as usual, after which miscellaneous business was transacted.

Superintendent Rupp announced that the Thaddeus Stevens memorial fund for Lehigh County, amounted to A splendid picture of the great commoner occupied a prominent place during the afternoon, and every school in the county will be supplied with one of these. There were two lectures on the program. Prof. Ferris spoke on "The fine art of speech," and 'Dr. Fess gave a masterly presentation of the debate of Daniel Webster and Robert Y.

Hayne in the United States Senate in 1S30, giving the causes that led to the challenge, the far-reaching excitement caused first by Hayne's attack on Webster, and the marvelous enthusiasm evoked' by Webster's reply. Hayne, who was from South Carolina, was one of the most brilliant orators the South has ever produced. He claimed that the New England states had prospered at the expense of the South and West. Webster denied the charge, and then Hayne challenged him to a debate. Hayne was an advocate of state sovereignty, the doctrine that the state is not subordinate to the nation, but may withdraw at will.

Hayne's oratorical, powers were phenomenal, and when he made a direct attack on the New England section, and accused Webster of inconsistency, there resulted a great commotion. His second point was that this government was not a confederation; and third, that the Union was not consolidated and any state could not be compelled to remain. These doctrines would make a perpetual form of government such as ours an impossibility. I Webster allowed four days to elapse before he answered, and the whole country was aroused for fear he would not be a'ble to refute his political enemy. But Webster had a reputation to sustain, and knew that a great speech was expected, the occasion and theme demanding K.

He had a wonderful presence and a magnificent voice, and the speech of Webster is counted the greatest power in realistic word-painting that has ever been heard in our country. ART OF SPEECH. Prof. Ferris, speaking on "The fine art of speech," said: "Language is an expression of man's wants and need3, and without them, there would be little use for it. There is much need fo; reform in language teaching.

Human speech is the first in order of development. Written language is merely the mechanics of this art. The study of grammar alone will not teach the boy or girl to speak fluently. To get them to speak and express themselves with ease and accuracy, it is necessary to encourage them to express themselves in their own words." There were short addresses by Superintendent J. J.

Bevan of Carbon County and Superintendent A. S. Martin of Bucks, and the afternoon session concluded with a couple of stories told by Dr. Houck in his own inimitable fashion. THIS MORNING'S WORK.

The morning devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. Frederick C. Seitz, pastor of St. John's Reformed Church. Supt.

Rupp announced the dates and places decided on by the committee on local institutes. A welcome guest at the morning session was former Counly Superintendent J. O. Knauss, now of Harrisburg. A new lecturer was introduced, Dr.

G. C. Ellis of Perkiomenville, who spoke to the first section on "Instruction," to the second on "Some lessons from Froebel" and to the combined sections on "Heart throbs of a great educator." Dr. S. D.

Fess spoke to the first section on "Studies in History," and to the third section on "Studies in Civics." His latter topic was a characterization of Burns' poem "The Cotter's Saturday Night," a poem bearing entirely on tht; influence of home. There is nothing in the world so hallowed as the memory of the home. Burns was the poet who could play upon the affections of the heart. An explanation of much of the strength of that remarkable nationality, was the religious spirit manifested in the home. 'Dr.

Ellis spoke on "Heart throbs of a great The subject of the sketch was Horace Mann, who was a great pioneer in educational work, and the founder of the normal school system In America. His boyhood facilities for mental improvement were of the meagerest and his heart went out in great longing to give other boys the things he could not have. Through the hardest of hard work he studied and earnrd money at the same tirm, and at the age of 20 became a student at Brown University. He studied Bar, and was elected to the Stat Legislature, where he was for 10 years one of their finest orators. Hi had high ideals, and his convictions of duty were higher than his desire for money.

He gave up his hopes of political preferment and entered upon thj work of education. Many of his remarkable sayings have been quoted. Among them he made the statement that school houses are the republic's line of fortification, and jails are the complements of schools the more there are of the latter the less need there will bo for the former, for school stands for the formation of goon character. Time has placed him upon the educational throne, and his picture should be in every school in America. His final words were, "Be ashamed to.

die until you have won some victory for humanity." Prof Ferris gave a drill on "Mem Program at Raleigh Dropped on Account of Death of Governor's Brother. ADAMS EXPRESS ROBBER CAUGHT PInkertons Capture the 101, 000 Dollar Man at Bridgeport, Conn. Unlucky New York Police Officer-Starvation In Southern Russia. Special to Thb Lbaj "ch. Raleigh, N.

Special to The Leader. Vienna, Oct. 19. Reports come from Odessa that the population of Southern Russia is in great danger of starvation. The presence of numerous bands of robbers, which infest the territory through which supplies must be sent, makes it impossible to transport food.

The troops are confined to the towns and in the rural districts a state of complete anarchy prevails. The burning of estates and robbery and murder continue unchecked. IRISH BURGLARS SENTENCED. GOT $4000 WORTH PLUNDER, NOT A MILLION, AS WAS REPORTED. Special to Thb Leader.

iA. Kuder. General Council Adjourns After Historic Session. FULL DECLARATION ON DIVORCE St. Paul's View Taken That Malicious Desertion is Essential Principle-Innocent Party Stands as If No Covenant Had Been Made.

The General Council of the Lutheran Church of North America concluded its sessions yesterday at Milwaukee with the election of committees and boards. The convention decided to hold biennial meetings hereafter. The officers of the council will decide on the next meeting place. A protest was made against the election of Rev. C.

E. Slaett of Philadel- phFa to membership on the Board of Foreign Missions, but failed. Several delegates expressed themselves in favor of dropping Slaett. They said they had nothing to say against the character of Mr. Slaett, but wanted to see his place filled by "a man who would do something." The text of the theses on "Marriage and Divorce" adopted follows: "Divorce cannot annul or dissolve a marriage covenant.

It can only declare that one party has broken the covenant, and therefore the other party is free from its obligations. Whilst the language in St. Matthew's seems to divorce to but one ground, St. Paul shows that malicious deser tion is the essential principle of adu tery. The innocent party in the divorce stands in divine law as though no mar riage covenant had been made, and therefore has the right of remarriage.

But this freeing of the innocent party does not, by divine law, give the right of remarriage to the guilty party. No Lutheran pastor may ever remarry such person, even though the state may grant a license." A report made of the missionary work in Porto Rico, where the General Council was the first to establish missions after the American occupation five years ago, told, of the work done there. There are churches and schools in San Juan and Catano. The Board of English Home Missions in the United States reported that almost one-half of the missions on its sustenance funds are self-sustaining. The important question in this matter is how to effect a consolidation of the English home missions.

Each of the synods has independent charge of its own district. MARRIED 24 YEARS. MR. AND MRS. JAMES REICHEN-BACH CELEBRATE EVENT.

Start in this training by allowing them to read before the whole school, and never ask them to read anything without first familiarizing themselves with the words, for nothing is worse than lack of understanding.

The teaching of spelling right along with reading to be recommended, and the word method of teaching is not to be encouraged, as it makes poor spellers. Oral spelling is the superior method, for it teaches proper pronunciation, and especially do I insist upon yeur requesting the school to use the English language in the room and on the play ground."
