heath of a nIstIDgU1.6ed 1o

Mrs. Alnira Hart Lincoln Phelps died at
Baltimore, Thursday, aged almost 91 She was
the youngest daughter of Samuel Hart, and
was born in Berlin in this State, July 10,
1893 At the age of 10 she taught school at
her fathers house, and soon afterwards took
charge of the female academy in Sandy HILL
N. Y. In 1917 she was married to Simeon
Lincoln, of Hartford, editor of the Connect
cut Mirror. He died in 1928, and after
wearing the widows weeds for eight years,
Mrs. Lincoln was married to John Phelps, an
eminent lawyer and statesman of Vermont.
In 1924 she became associated with her sis
ter, Mrs. Emma Willard, in the direction of
the female seminary at Troy, N. Y, and here
she remained until her second marriage, in
1881. For the next seven years she did no
teaching, except by the publication of her
educational works, but in 1888 she took
charge of a seminary at West Chester,
Penn, and shortly afterward taught for
awhile in Railway, N. J. Her method of
teaching and her books on education had be-
gun to attract attention to the lady, and in
1881, on invitation of the bishop of Maryland,
she removed to Baltimore with her husband
and established the Patapsco Female Insti-
tute, diocesan female school, which attained
high reputation under her charge. Mr..
Phelps died in 1913, and from that time I'M
til 1856 Mrs. Phelps conducted the institu-
ton alone, and with marked success. She re-
signed in 1855 at the age af sixty-three wears,
forty-four of which had been passed almost
entirely in her labor of education and retired
to her residence in Futaw place, Baltimore,
where she lived, honored and respected, until
her death. She was the author of many edu-
cational works of value and was wealthy.

At the skating rink on the island Miss Lille
Sellew gave very pretty exhibition of fancy
roller skating, and her movements were
watched with admiration by hundreds of
others beside the excursionists. The start was
made for the return about half past five, and
the sail up through the Sound in the evening
was to many the most delightful part of the
days pleasure. The committee of arrange
ments, to whom the success of the affair was
largely due, was made up as follows:
Maurice Lynch, chairman; Edward Geary,
Thomas Cunningham, Thomas Collins, Frank
Collins, J. P. Bree and William Murphy.

in Fair Haven is a little encounter between
Michael Coleman and William Potter They
are both well known men, oyster dealers, and
live within stones throw of each other on
South Front street. They have always been
considered good friends, and may be so still
But the other day they got to talking on the
wharf, and as their conversation grew warm
and loud they attracted quite a crowd around
them The result was that the two men en-
gagged in a hand-to-hand combat and kept it
up until Potter threw Coleman into the briny
deep, where he 1anguished until fshed out
by three or~four of the bystanders Those
who witnessed the affair describe it as very
exciting, and as being especially interesting
because of Mr.. Potter's possession of cork
leg. It was match of two good legs against
one good leg and cork leg, and as the latter
won it is a testimonial to cork which the
scientists of Fair Haven are considering in
all its bearings

Numbers of German carp to applicants about
the country. The carp is said to be of rapid
growth and is very delicious for food. About
