THE new daily mail route between
this place and Pocomoke City went
into effect on Monday last. The mail
leaves Pocomoke City at O'Clock,
reaches here between 10 and ia. M.
and leaves for Pocomoke at noon. Thus
far the amount of mail matter carried
each way has been quite small, but it
is expected that as soon as the public
are made aware of the convenience OF
the arrangement the mail will be much
heavier, especially if the contractor is
wise enough to so arrange his time
table as to have his mule-i- bus connect
with the steamer trains TO and from
Crisfield to Pocomoke I; otherwise, the
route will, in all probability, be dis
continued. 1t was intended that the
mail should go by way of Klej Grange
and the X Roads, but the postmasters
for those places having not yet been
appointed, the mail at present goes

We are new well enough informed
to report finale in the negotiations
between the directors Of the Eastern
Shore and the Accomac Steamboat
Companies. The end was reached by
the rejection of the propositions offer
ed by the old company to the new, at
their meeting last Saturday. These
propositions were to the following ef-
feet: First-To sell the stockholders
of the Acconlac Steamboat Co., 10
OF their interest now, and the other
6-Ioths in December next, if they de-
sired to purchase at the price OF
$2II,75o. Second TO sell their en-
tire interest at the price named above.
If the latter proposition had been ac-
cepted, S25 900 must have been paid
at once, and the balance en- the first
Of August, with interest. During the
time Of the deferred payments the T.
S. S. 60. was to be subject to the CON
troll of the officers of the old company,
but the net profits during that time
were to be paid over to the stockhold-
ers of the new company. The stock
holders Of the Accomac Steamboat Co.
adjourned to meet at some future day,
when they will mature their plans for
starting a new line Of steamers between
Accomac and Baltimore sometime next

a Cable from Ocean City TO
England.

The Baltimore DAY says: " Now
that the Baltimore and Ohio Company
is about to build their new road to
Philadelphia and construct a cable line
to England it has been suggested that
a branch road also lie built down the
Eastern Shore to connect with the new
line at Wilmington, and that the cable
be taken up on this side OF the Allan
tic at Ocean City This plan will proba-
bly, receive the consideration Of the
company, as il is well known what an
immense trade the road TO the peninsu-
Ia would doubtless bring to Baltimore.
With such a road the Baltimore and
Ohio could, with their increased facii-
ties, do large and profitable freight
business in the transportation of fruit
direct to the West. BY landing the
cable at Ocean City the telegraph lines
could then be extended up along the
road to the main line and connect with
the company's Wires to Philadelphia,
New York, Baltimore and Washington.
OF course nothing definite is known as
to President CARROTS views in this di-
rection, but it seems likely that when
the new road to Philadelphia is com
pleted it will not be long before the
Baltimore and Ohio will extend its iron
arms over the Peninsula"

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The public schools in this city will
be re-opened on Monday, the 4th of
September. The school buildings have
been put in repair, and are in readiness
for occupation. The Board of Educa-
ton is entitled to commentator for
it's endeavors to secure competent
teachers, and in other respects to adj
vance the interests OF education. To
Kenosha belongs the honor Of estab-
fishing the first Free School in Wiscon-
sin, and probably the first in the North
west. 1t has been the means of en-
abling many penniless boy of poor
parentage to acquire an education, in
GLIDING, in many instances, the higher
branches of learning. An instance of
poor, but worthy widow, may be
mentioned. She had family of chill
dren and was obliged to draw her sup
port in part from the city. She availed
herself Of the advantages of the free
school to educate her children; her
eldest son fitted himself in the Keno
sha Free Schools for the active duties
of citizenship and he was elected Mayor
OF the city. Other instances might be
given of boys in extreme poverty who
were educated in our Free Schools, and
elevated, through their instruction, to
a life of usefulness and success in bust
ness. But for the Free School, these,
in most cases, would have grown up
in ignorance, and, instead of holding
positions of trust, they would have
been mere "hewers of wood and draw
ers Of water"
1t would form an interesting record
of educational facts were there state
ment furnished of all the scholars
who received their only school educa-
ton in our public schools, and who
have risen to distinction and success
in the different avocations of life. The
number of this class would probably
be much greater than is generally sup
posed. When it is remembered that
our High school, at different periods,
was under the instruction of such prin-
cipals as Graves, Coe, Stone, DeWolf,
McMynn, McKindley, Simmons, Albee,
Durkee, Leach and others, it will
be understood what the influence must
have been. These educators aimed,
not only at the importation of book
learning, but also the incubation of
sound moral principles, for future guild
ance in life. The remembrance that
in 1916, while~ Wisconsin was yet a
Territory, and Kenosha still called
Southport, Free School, the first in the
Northwest. was established here under
special act of the Territorial Legisla-
ture, should stimulate every citizen to
stand by it, and see that its good name
is perpetuated to coming generations.

be strikinglY brilliant and of re-
markable extent. All the competing
organizations will on parade present
their fullest ranks, from which the
company of thirty-six will be selected
to contend for the prizes.
Several of these organizations num-
Der from two to four hundred men,
and it is now contemplated to offer a
magnificent silken banner to the
organization making the finest appear
ance in the parade. The Maryland
regiments, batallions and companies
| will turn out in full force, and the dis
play as whole will be grand one.
The second days programme is now so
fac along as to insure a most unique
and novel parade and attendant attrac-
lions. The military feature will be
particularly interesting, as the win
ming organizations in the competition
drill will have the right of the line.
The immediate escort of Lord Balti-
more will be arrayed in the most gor-
geous costumes of two and half CEN
turtles ago. Cecelius will be accom-
panied by Rex and the Carnival Court,
Menus, Comus, the Yelled Prophet
and royal personages of the famous
mystic circles of the South. The
tableaux following, showing the pro-
gress Baltimore has made the past two
hundred and fifty years, will consti-
tute particularly interesting feature
of the parade, as the citizens have be-
come very enthusiastic over it.
That the mystic pageant of Thurs
day night will surpaSs all efforts of
the kind ever before attempted in the
United States, if not indeed in the
world, is now a f0regone conclusion.
1t will be a marvel of splendOr, of
majestic proportions and of superb
costuming.
| The participation alone of the cele-
brated mystic societies of the country
renders it an unparalleled demonstra-
ton; but when are added the match
less divisions of the Order of the
Oriole. it is perfectly safe to claim
that nothing to approach the pageant

and each light having four burners.
| The utmost care is being taken to
