Death of mrs. Maria Bishop.

The death of Mrs. Maria Bishop removes
one of New Ravens oldest town-born inhab-
itants. She was woman of penetrating in
tellect, energetic temperament and industri-
GUS disposition. The Christian religion was
her creed and the Bible was to her the word
of God, SO she lost no time in trying to ad-
just the conflict between this book and the
claims of natural science, but simply kept
the faith.
Besides this she was an honest woman.
quiet, peaceable, independent, plain, vet
high spirited, and had thorough contempt
for all shame and humbug For the welfare
of her own family she was tender and solic-
itous, kindly disposed towards her neighbors,
dealt Justly with her fellow men and ALWAYS
minded her own business

The Laws Against Swearing and
Throwing Banana PeeIs on the Side
NaIks-The Sad Effects of One Bana-
ma Peel.
''Isn't there a law prohibiting loud swear
ing on the streets?'' was asked of one
of New Ravens ''inest" last evening
Eyes, there is law on the statutes, but
swearing is so prevalent that we seldom ar
rest man for it. Sometimes if it is carried
to an extreme we caution the ones who are
violating the law. If man uses abusive
or insulting language to ladies, we arrest
him, but seldom do so for swearing It is
one of those laws that have become almost
obsolete. Another example is the law for
bidding the throwing of banana peels or orange
skins upon the sidewalk. If you were going
along the street and should throw piece of
orange skin down on the walk and l should
arrest you and make you give bonds, or stay
all night in the lookup, you would think it a
good deal of hardship. But the law would
uphold in doing so, and the evil of banana
peels is quite serious. Sometimes I throw
off great many of them in my rounds.
Only the other. day saw a lady fall be-
cause of one of them on Chapel
street and hurt herself badly.
young man of my acquaintance was once
walking on the street with the young lady to
whom he was engaged when she slipped on a
banana peel and broke her leg. Not long af-
terward she died of the effect of that fall and
the young man felt SO badly that he became
deranged and used to go around the streets
picking up banana peels, orange skins and
the like and throwing them in the gutter.
And there is an ordinance requiring every
fruit stand in the city to keep posted in a
conspicuous place the law against throwing
those things on the walks, but not stand in
the city complies with it, and no one cares
enough about the matter to attend to it. If
you would call attention to it in your paper
perhaps it would do some good"

 The Board of Education met last night three of the members being absent. The Committee on Schools recommended the ap- pointed of Eleanor M. How'd as assistant teacher in the Winchester school, in room No. 12, at salary of $350. She was ap- pointed.
 The superintendent made statement re- garding the night schools, which he said were well attended, although the political parades and other diversions interfered somewhat The total attendance at the schools is 269.
 MT. Day read detailed statement of the expenses for the first month of the school year, which amounted to $23, ,15056. This amount includes repairs made during the summer, interest on loan and the pay roll.
 Superintendent Dutton said that the most important work being done in the schools now was that of teaching the pupils in the lower grades to read intelligently and in such way as to be able to tell in their own Ian guage what they have read. Children are encouraged to read at home. A new scheme of teaching geography and history together by topics is being introduced. This sort of teaching, it is thought, will form in the chi1drens minds taste for reading other literature than the cheap trash literature of the day Considerable discussion followed fba cT1hi

It seems that the members who voted for the acceptance of the pastors resignation were only about one
 third of the membership of the church, and ] it is almost a certainty that the remaining two-thirds will protest against any measures under existing circumstances that will tend to sever the relations of the Rev.
