The "Jeffersonian Debating Society," of

last week, had the following subject before it
for discussion HAS the Negro suffered
more at the the hands of White Man than the
IndiaR?' l.. Kemp for affirmative and DIR. C.
H. Diller for the negative. The judges, after
mature deliberation, decided in favor of the
negative, it being understood that the Doctor
produced the most killing arguments, and
then, welI-how could they help deciding
other than in favor of the negative.
Quite an interesting spelling-bee was held

Public School Examination.

Reported for the Democratic Advocate.
There was public examination at the pub
lie school at Cranberry, taught by Miss l.. u.
Lambert, on the LIST instant. The trustees
and several others of the neighborhood were
present. When the trustees entered the
teacher and pupils arose. When all were
seated, the teacher examined the several
classes in reading, writing, arithmetic and
other studies, which was quite satisfactory to
visitors and creditable to pupils and teacher.
Afterwards the school was given up to the
scholars. John Stephen was chosen presi-
dent and Annie Z. Geiman secretary. The
secretary called the roll, and then the schol-
ars' exercises began, which consisted of read
ings, rehearsals, essays. The trustees were
we'll pleased with the examination, exercises,
progress of the pupils and methods of the
teacher.
1t would be well it every teacher in the
county would have public examinations and
exercises by the children several times a year
and invite the parents of their school. Soon
a spirit of rivalry would spring up, and pupils
would reap much advantage from the efforts
of teachers to excel. When teacher sits in
his chair with feet on his desk, you may know
it is dull school and unattractive to schol-
ars. A lazy man or woman is not fit for a
schOolteacher.

.ws.tar, ,marv,aud Railroad Notes.

.
Fifty new freight cars, the second lot OF ll5
in all ordered recently by the Western Mary
land Railroad Company, arrived at Hillen
Station Yesterday. making 100 received in all.
The balance of the order-fifteen cars-arc
expected during the present week. The IN
creased business of the road since its connec-
ton with the South via Shenandoah Valley
and Norfolk and Western railroads warrant
ed the above order, and it is stated that even
this additional rolling stock will hardly be
sufficient, and that another lorderA for more
cars will soon be given out. The new coal
shutes at Westminster, or rather at Cranberry
Station, about one mile. east of Westminster,
which will be hereafter used for coaling the
engines of the entire line, are almost COM
pleted and will be put into use in few days
The shutes are built on property secured IN
1875 with funds from the recent sale OF bonds
endorsed by the city. The erection OF this
coaling station will save the road thousands OF
dollars, as the locomotives can hereafter coal
at Williamsport and again at Cranberry Sta
ton, the latter serving for a run to Baltimore
and return, thus saving the cost OF transpor-
tation of coal to Baltimore for this purpose,
as heretofore. The improvements at Hlllen
Station are very nearly completed, and 1t IS
expected that the freight and auditors de-
partments will move into their new quarters
in few days. The finishing touches are now
being given to the new and commodious
freight shed on High street, and the new
freight offices, ETC., on Hillen street will be
ready for use within the next ten days. The
improvements are, upon the whole, of a most
important character. The president S, treas
urer's and general ticket agents offices in the
old building have also been newly painted
and frescoed, and present cheerful appear

hostess was untiring in her attentions to her
guests, being ably assisted by Messrs. George
4. Zahn, VIM. Callaghan and John j. Leo
nard. who, being fond of cake, helped Them
selves admirably. After all had satisfied
themselves with the good things before them,

MEMORIAL.

The entrance of death into our midst, and
the removal from us of one who has been SO
active in our organization, calls for more than
passing notice.
DR.. WILLIAM 81. RIPPARD, who fell asleep
on the night of the 18th of January, 1888, oc-
cupied the highest Office in the Westminster
Fire Department from the time of its organi-
cation until his departure.
In life, we, his comrades, honored him as
our officer, respected him as man and loved
him as a friend; departed, we mourn at our
loss, reverence his memory and sympathize
with his loved ones in their great lbereave-
ment.
Therefore, we take this method of bearing
our testimony to his werthas Christian gen.
tleman, and of giving expression to the heart
felt sympathy we feel for the widow, children
and other friends of our brother, remembering
with Joy that our friend, in life and in death,
was cheered by abiding trust in the Lord
Jesus Christ; that the tolls of his busy and
useful life have ended in the triumphs OF the
better life, and that, freed from earth's cares
and strife, he has entered into the peace and
rest of the better land.

Our farmers are shipping their grain now at
tolerably good figures.
Mr.. Samuel Frank, after spending several
weeks with his father, returned to the West

Mr.. Shaffer moved on his farm on Tuesday,

Fruit tree agents and travelling dry goods

Since the winter season is time that there
IS but little to do, we would suggest to the
nareuts to haul their children to the school
and not allow them to stay at home or walk
through the slush and get wet feet, as it has
been the case, and pneumonia. That is poor
economy.
The board of district trustees met the last
day of the Winter term in the school house
here, and spent the afternoon. They seemed
to be pleased with the work of the teachers
