knights Paint.-The Sun Iron Build

Knights Paint.-The Sun Iron Build
ing, in Baltimore, has been adorned with
new coat of Knights beautiful Enamel Paint
and looked appropriate in its holiday attire
during the sesqui-centennial week. Its cheap
ness, beauty and durability are three points
that give it preference over all others. BY
practical painters it is said to be the best in
use, and we are inclined to agree with them,
for that placed upon our Office is as bright
and compact as when first put on during the
past summer. Those who are in need of
paint we invite to examine the difference in
beauty and durability between the Enamel
Paint and lead and oil upon our dwelling
house and Office. The lead and oil upon the
house-though put there at the same time
the Enamel was put on the offlce--is dingy,
spotted and blistered. See advertisement in

That suicIde.-The Coroners inoue

That Suicide.-The Coroners inquest
held on the body Of the unknown man found
hanging To pine tree on the land of Mr..
Joseph Kelly, near Knowles Station, of
which mention was made in the SENTINEL,
of last week, failed TO ascertain the name of
the deceased. The following account has
been furnished us Of the affair:
"The man was found suspended from a
pine tree on Mr.. Jos. Kelly's place. He was
comfortably clad and seemed TO leave the
impression on the minds of the Jurors that
he might at some period have seen better
days. After an examination of the body
and clothing nothing appeared by which
he could be identified; no marks other than
large mole near the temple on the right
side of his face. In his pockets were found
an old card Of Adolf kunzig, of 1904 ID
street N. W., a night key, tailors thimble,
a large brass-bound comb, a pair of old sus-
pender buckles, two or three pairs of eve
glasses, q small piece Of chalk, an old broken
case-knife apparently recently sharpened,
also piece OF paper with figures as though
he had recently taken measure, a pair Of
small shears which seemed to leave the i'm
preston with the jurors that he might have
been tailor by trade, also paper OF needles.
His beard gray, fall suit hair being some
what gray, age supposed to be from fifty 10
hfty-fve, and after full view and exami-
nation Of the body and circumstances. a
verdict of premeditated suicide was rem
dered."

in his individual capacity, or as citizen of
the county interested in the continuance OF
the public schools of the State according to
the Constitution and law. Gill ct. al, VS..
Mayor and G. c., 81 Nd, 1916. In addition
to the foregoing authority, we cite another
decision of the Court of Appeals, as follows :
There is no doubt that, where an ordi-
nance is void, and its provisions are about to
De enforced, any person whose interests are to
be injuriously affected thereby may and
properly ought to go into Court of Equity
and have the execution of the ordinance
stayed by injunction. Page VS.. Mayor and
20. ofBalt., "a Nd, $50.
The position assumed by the appellees in
their supplemental brief that the action of
the judges is quasi equitable power is not
supported by the law or the facts. The law
says; "The Board of County School Com
missioners shall be appointed by the Judges
Of the Circuit Courts, to serve for two years."
etc. Art. 81, Sec. 8, of Revised Code
This is the authority; this alone is the
power under and by which the judges act.
By the language of this law, there could not
be given an implied or constructive author.
ity for the judges to act as cLancellors or
Equity Judges.
1t cannot be doubted that the Legislature
we'll knew the difference between the Circuit
Judges and Judges in Equity, for the fact is
made manifest by the statute law of the
State
Again, the power of appointing guardians
toinfants in this State is especially entrusted
to the Orphans Courts, and it was so en-
trusted long previous to the introduction of
the public school system.
The whole tenor of the last brief filed by
the appellees is rather an argument to the
Court to constitute itself Legislature for
this particular case than to construe the law
as 1t exists.
If the power Of appointment by the judges
should be denied, and the present pretended
School Commissioners throughout the State
lose their places, the schools would not fail,
because the old Boards would be restored as
holding over for want of properly appointed
successors, unless the Court shall decide that
the Act of 1863 was repealed by subse-
quent Act, and that they thereby ceased be
be School Commissioners But, in that
event, there being no School Commission
ers, the duty OF filling the vacancies would,
under the Constitution, devolve upon the
Executive.
Thi,d-In the argument before the court,
it was claimed that, as the law of 1879 re-
peals and substantially re-enacts the law of
1868, the lattler does not become imperative
by reason OF the repeating clause, and late
decision of the Court of Appeals containing
these words was cited as authority:
when the repeating law contains sub
stantial re-enactment of the previous law
the operation of the latter continues unin-
terrupted. Dashiell vs.. Mayor and City

Fell Dead.-On Saturday evening last
the home of Mr.. Hilleary O'Neal, aged about
sixty years, was suddenly shroaded with
gloom by the demise of the above named
gentleman. He had, through life, suffered
intensely from rheumatism, and on the even
ing in question had complained of pain in
his breast, and it is thought his sudden
death was caused by rheumatism of the
heart. He had made preparations Tor re-
firing for the night and had taken but few
steps on the stairway leading to his bed
chamber when the grim messenger called
him. His wife FASTENED to his side but
found that he was already dead. Mr.. ONeal
was well and favorably known in this COM
munity, and his sudden death caused a
a gloom to settle down upon the hearts of
his numerous friends and relatives. His
remains were inferred in the Tennally town
buryng ground.

Curing Hams.-The american Farmer
says, "the following recipe comes to us from
one Of the most accomplished and notable
housewives in Baltimore county, whose hams
are ell-known for their excellence:
TO every 1000 pounds bacon, half bushel
fine salt, five pounds brown sugar, three
pounds saltpetre quarter pound cayenne
pepper, and sufficient molasses to moisten
the above ingredients, which must be
thoroughly mixed. Each ham is well
rubbed on both sides with this mixture
and packed in meat tubs---skin down
where they remain four weeks they are
then hung up In dark stone meat house
and smoked constantly for three days with
hickory wood. During the late winter and
spring we make an occasional smoke dur
ing damp spells Of weather. The meat
should be entirely cold before curing. We
generally let it hang for two days before
curing it,"

Large HOgs.--45ince the Strengthening
season has begun some fine hogs have been
killed in this county. 1t is evident this
branch OF industry is receiving earnest and
careful consideration from our citizens, and
it is but reasonable that they should, for it
costs about as much to fatten and make a
runt marketable as one of large size and
good breed. In the neighborhood of barnes
town last week the following weight of hogs
were slaughtered:
Mr., Hoskinson...."".390, 800, 219, 206-1175
Mr.. windsor PA, 1885, 731
Mr.. Mullican ...."..."....222, 244, 282- 74S
Mr.. Leonard Hays, living in the neighbor-
hood of GAINESVILLE, killed thirty -four hogs
the net weight of which was 7,024 pounds.
Mr.. Jno. f. Wilson, residing near this place,
killed fifteen hogs, whose average weight
was 312 pounds, or about 1880. Mr.. Rob't
Lyddane slaughtered large lot of hogs the
heaviest weighing 488. While speaking of
large hogs we find the following in the
maryland Farmer. 1.-THE largest hog in the
country is Poland China, four years old
last spring, lately on exhibition at Junction
City, Kansas. His length is 7 feet; girth of
neck, 81 feet; girth of chest, n feet girth
of centre, 8 feet; width across the hips, 30
inches, and weight $50 pounds

Bi-Carbonate OF Soda in Tootha che.

DIR. Dyce Duckworth contributes short
memorandum on the subject He was called
on TO treat a case Of very severe toothache,
and tried various ordinary remedies, includ-
ing chloroform and carbolic acid, without
any benefit to the patient. He then remem-
bered having read that the pain might be
relieved by holding in the mouth solution
of bi-carbonate Of soda. He at once gave
the patient half drachm in an ounce Of
water, and TO his establishment, the pain
ceased Immediately, and complete relief was
secured. lie thinks that, as tile remedy Is

often intractable, this treatment may he
