The miner Normal schoo,.

At meeting of the trustees of the Miner
normal school Miss Lucy L. Moten was nomi-
mated for the vacancy in the principalship of
that school created by the resignation of Miss
Briggs. The nomination of Miss Moten is
generally conceded to be a most admirable
one, and will without doubt be confirmed by
the school board. Miss Moten is a native
Washingtonian, and received largely her edu-
cation in this city, whore she has successfully
taught for over eleven years. She is also a
graduate of the Salem, Mass, state normal
school; likewise graduate of Spencer's busi-

and Trustee Johnson is authority for stating
that she is one of the best teachers in his
division, very essential point in normal

New PARsONAGE.-The NJ. E.
Church of Milford has never owned a
parsonage, but has been renting from
suudry persons for many years. The
house now occupied as parsonage
was sold several months ago to Col NJ.
II. Davis, who will occupy it at the
end of this year, and the church will
have to make other arrangements. To
meet the emergency, il has been
deemed not only expedient, but econ
omical to build parsonage on the lot
purchased about a year ago of Mrs.
Williams. Part of the old building
will do for an L and to put up the new
front it will require $4,000. Subscrip-
ton lists are now out and it is the in
tention of the church authorities, not
TO commence to build until all of the
money issubscribed When the money
is all pledged 50 that a second call wilt
notbe nect ssary the work will be given

the order issued by Postmaster Gener-

calls attention to the fact that NJ. A.
Dauphin is conducting a scheme for
Obtainiug money through the mails by

order drawn to his order, and COM
mands the return of all registered let

der having been decided against the
lottery companies, an effort will be
now directed to prevent the carrying
of newspapers by mail which contain
lottery advertisements. The anti-l0t-
terry people will make stand befO e
the Postmaster General on this new is
sue at an early day. They take the
ground that the mere stOppage Of let
ters is not enough; that if the cOnbi
nations are carrying on a swindling
business it is just as bad to carry their
in the newspapers as
to carry them in printed circulars.
The government may as well carry
their circulars and correspondence sep
as to carry their circulars and
